Chapter 48 Three Plants Mei 03
Bo Ruoyou was curious about what he couldn't listen to, and he hissed softly. Huo Weilou frowned and let her go, then lifted up her sleeves. This time, the burns were immediately exposed. out.
His eyes darkened, "Are you burned yourself?"
Bao Ruoyou shrank his hand and said, "It's okay." As she said that, she moved forward and asked, "Is there anyone in the house?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she also heard a noise in the house. It was a woman's moan, soft and melodious, and she didn't know what she was doing. She frowned slightly and whispered: "If there is anyone, please knock on the door and ask." Well, maybe the child is here."
Huo Weilou changed places and pulled her back, taking two steps back. "If it is a child, it cannot be in this room."
Bo Ruoyou was suspicious, "Why?"
Huo Weilou looked at her angrily, as if he was dissatisfied with her questioning. Bao Ruoyou immediately did not dare to say anything more and looked at the door on the other side, "That's in this room."
Huo Weilou walked to the door of the room and stopped listening. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. A loud voice soon sounded inside the door. After a while, a person behind the door opened the door. The door was only opened a crack, and a childish face appeared from inside. Seeing Huo Weilou and Bao Ruoyou outside the door, the people inside were a little surprised.
"Who are you? What's the matter?"
Huo Weilou glanced at Bo Ruoyou, and Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and glanced behind the girl, "Are you the only one in this room?"
The person inside the door hesitated for a moment, "Are you looking for Yueniang?" After saying that, he turned back and shouted: "Yueniang, someone is looking for you——"
The girl looked at Huo Weilou again and saw that they were very charming. She seemed not to dare to neglect them and opened the door wider. At this time, another person walked out of the darkness. It was Shicai and Bo. Ruoyou bumped into the girl.
Seeing Bo Ruoyou, the girl frowned slightly. However, this time there was an extra Huo Weilou. She seemed not to dare to have an attack. She just pursed her lips and said nothing. Bo Ruoyou handed over the small box containing the ointment, " You must have been burned just now. This is an ointment that can cure burns. Just take it and apply it for two days. It will definitely be cured after two days."
Yue Niang frowned but did not move, but the girl next to her was a good judge of people and immediately pushed her, "The noble man gave it to you, but you still don't take it..."
Yue Niang then moved her feet, took the ointment, and thanked her in a low voice, but her voice was like a mosquito, and she didn’t look very willing. Bo Ruoyou didn’t care, and just curled his lips and said: “One day. Twice in the morning and evening, don’t forget it.”
After saying this, she turned around and walked away. Huo Weilou glanced at Yueniang and the girl unhappily, so frightened that they took half a step back. When they were far away, the girl pinched him. Yue Niang said, "You are trying to die. There are noble people on this ship. Sister Mei Niang and Sister Hui Niang are going to perform on the stage. You don't even blink. Could it be that the master values you now, and you don't know how high the sky is. ?"
Yue Niang covered her arms and glared at the girl, turned around and ran in. After getting on the bed, she pulled up the brocade quilt and covered her head.
……
Hearing that the girl's name was Yueniang, Huo Weilou knew that she was also from the Yuchun class. When they got to the third floor, Huo Weilou said: "She is just an opera actress. She is worthy of you personally delivering medicine. That girl doesn't care at all. Appreciate it."
Huo Weilou's tone was serious, and he was not joking.
Bao Ruoyou followed him and whispered after hearing this: "She is young. She has been raised in a theater troupe since she was a child. She must have suffered a lot, so she is very wary of strangers. What's more, I am holding a hot pot." She just got burned by the water, so she should take a walk."
Huo Weilou shook his head, "Since she has suffered a lot, she will not care about this small injury and pain. And since she has a humble status, she should learn to be humane. Looking at her appearance, she will have to suffer some more in the future. ."
Bao Ruoyou didn't agree with what he said, but she didn't refute it face to face. She just whispered: "It took some hardships to realize that there is nothing wrong with being sophisticated. It's just that no matter how humble a person is, she still wants someone to treat her well." , whether she appreciates it or not, she will feel less aggrieved when others treat her kindly. People don’t always feel grateful for no reason. If everyone treats her badly, how can she also have evil thoughts in her heart?"
Bao Ruoyou usually didn't dare to say anything in front of Huo Weilou, but now that they have been together for nearly a month, he has gradually become a little more unrestrained. After saying this, he looked at Huo Weilou cautiously, and saw that Huo Weilou had a deep phoenix eye. He stared at her, obviously disapproving of her words, "Buddha is also angry, but you are more temperamental than Buddha."
It was not Bo Ruoyou's fault that she got burned. She went to deliver medicine with good intentions, but others didn't appreciate it. Huo Weilou was used to not caring about common things since she was a high-ranking person. For the first time, she followed her to care for these common people, but she still encountered He was a cold-faced person who didn't know what was good or bad. He was certainly not an easy person to talk to. He had no temper at all when he saw Bo Ruoyou and didn't complain or blame him. The unhappiness in his heart was almost due to her.
Bo Ruoyou frowned and did not dare to argue anymore. Seeing that the two of them were approaching the door of the house, Huo Weilou stopped and looked at her condescendingly, "If you gave the medicine to someone else, what about you?"
Bao Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, but before he spoke, Huo Weilou said as he walked in, "Come in."
Bo Ruoyou hesitated to speak. Seeing that Huo Wei didn't look back, he had no choice but to follow in. As soon as the door was closed, the cold wind howling outside was blocked. She covered her cheeks and the chill on her body dissipated. point.
Huo Weilou quickly found a bottle of wound ointment, pointed to the couch and said, "Sit down."
Bao Ruoyou didn't understand what she meant, and was stunned for a moment before walking over and sitting down. Soon, Huo Weilou walked up to her, grabbed her wrist without any explanation, lifted up her sleeves, and poured out some ointment. , apply it gently and gently.
Bo Ruoyou's teeth trembled with pain, but she was calmed down by Huo Weilou's visit. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Huo Weilou raised his eyes and glanced at her, "It hurts? I want you to remember, repay evil with kindness." It’s not advisable.”
Bo Ruoyou's painful eyes were filled with mist, and he wanted to argue that she was not as soft-hearted as she thought, but she felt that it would make him unhappy if she talked back again, so she could only grit her teeth and nod, Huo Weilou said again After looking at her, his hand became a little lighter, but his palm was rough and he was usually informal. The medicine really made Bao Ruoyou uneasy.
Fortunately, this medicine is very effective. As soon as she finished applying it, Bo Ruoyou felt a layer of coolness wrapped around her arms. The burning pain a moment ago had faded a lot. She stood up to thank her, and Huo Weilou handed the ointment to her. , "Twice in the morning and evening, don't forget."
These words were the same as what she said to Yueniang. I don’t know if he was mocking her. Bo Ruoyou took the ointment in response, blessed her body again, and then walked out. She quickly returned to her room. After washing for a while, he lay down.
As soon as I lay down, I heard intermittent singing amidst the howling wind outside.
"All over the green mountains...the cuckoo cries red..."
"Outside the tea...the shredded tobacco...is drunk and soft..."
The intermittent chanting is clearer, more melodious, and moving. Accompanied by the strong cold wind on the river, it has a sadder meaning. Bo Ruoyou was about to take a rest. At this moment, not only did he not feel the noise, but also felt that the night was cold and cold. Three points.
However, before this chanting could be completed, another voice took over.
"Although that peony is good...how can he take the lead in spring return..."
"Listen to the sound of the swallow's voice as clear as scissors, and listen to the chirping of the oriole as round as a whistle..."
The first voice sounded clear and sweet to Bo Ruoyou, but as soon as the second voice came out, it instantly outshone the first voice. This part of the singing was full of love, and it was in this cold place. At night, people who can listen to it feel soft in their hearts and are intoxicated by it, as if they have really seen the bright spring scenery and the crows of swallows and orioles. When they listen to the long and lasting rhythm of his voice, every word and every breath, you know that this person has a very deep singing skills.
The first person was singing for his own entertainment, but the second person had a sense of superiority, and seemed to feel that he could not compare. After the second person sang two lines, the first person became silent again. Ruoyou didn't need to think too much to know that it was the two members of the Yuchun class who were competing. She sighed helplessly in her heart for a moment, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Early on the next morning, Bo Ruoyou woke up at the usual hour. Although the boat moved slowly at night, it had traveled dozens of miles that night. The window outside the window was very different from what he saw yesterday. At this moment, the sky appeared. , the wind on the river was much lighter, and a vast white mist shrouded it, and the boat sailing in it felt like soaring in the clouds and riding in the mist.
Bao Ruoyou stood up and looked out, only to find it strange. She moved around, and most of the pain in her arm had disappeared. She couldn't help but lift up her sleeves to take a look. At this look, she couldn't help but remember that Huo Weilou did it for her last night. After applying the medicine, she blinked, still feeling like a dream.
Recalling the first time she met Huo Weilou, the noble Wu Zhaohou made her kneel in the snow for more than half an hour, and then treated her with a cold look, which was even more shocking. But now, Huo Weilou can paint her with his own hands. Medicine is really incredible. It can be seen that Huo Weilou is indeed quite different. He is really very lenient to those who can handle things effectively.
This thought made Bao Ruoyou feel a little relieved. Thinking of Huo Weilou, he couldn't help but feel that his eyebrows were a little gentler.
On the second day of the boat trip, the whole group, including Huo Weilou, felt a little bored. As the boat sailed on the river, except for the trust eagle they raised, they received no other news. This pair of people had to watch every day. It was really torture for him to read the book and think about the official business. Huo Qinghong could also think about what plays the troupe would sing, but he didn't think about that.
When his thoughts were idle, Huo Weilou always thought of the jade arm that lay across his eyes last night. He was indeed different. In the past, women were not allowed to get close to him, but now they are close. He would never do these things before. It doesn't matter. Now he has done the little things. He just wanted to give her a memory, but this method was a bit too gentle.
Huo Weilou frowned, not thinking clearly about his thoughts for a while.
The authorities are obsessed with it.
When we had breakfast, the fog on the river had dispersed, the warm sun climbed into the sky, and the golden light filled the entire building. Ming Guilan did not move yesterday, but today he was carried to the second floor balcony. Looking at the river view, Bo Ruoyou deliberately asked Cheng Yunzhi to come out and walk around for a while, but he seemed to be avoiding it and only stood on the corridor.
Eunuch Fu ordered someone to bring tea to Cheng Yunzhi, and said with a smile at the door: "Mr. Cheng, please come out for a walk. I feel really depressed after being in the house all day."
Cheng Yunzhi covered his lips and coughed, "Excuse me, father-in-law, I'm so sick and weak, so I can't see the wind."
Eunuch Fu looked at Cheng Yunzhi, smiled and left.
There is a vacant balcony on the east and west sides of the second floor. Firstly, the upper part of the hull is not allowed to be too heavy. Secondly, it creates a place to enjoy the scenery and also provides some entertainment for the boat passengers. This is owned by the wealthy Shen family. A building boat must be exquisite in every aspect.
The view on the east side of the balcony is the widest. When Ming Guilan and Huo Qinghong arrived, they saw the men and women of the Yuchun class practicing here. When they saw them coming, everyone left one after another. Intermittent chanting came from the cabin.
Huo Qinghong then said: "There was someone singing an opera last night, did you hear it?"
Ming Guilan nodded, and Huo Qinghong said: "I don't know who the second person is, but he sings better than the first person."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out of the cabin corridor, "Young master, are you talking about a civilian girl?"
The one who walked out was Liu Huiniang.
Liu Huiniang is still wearing a green dress today. In the weather at the end of the first lunar month, she comes with a graceful gait, like a touch of spring that brightens the eyes. As she walks, she sings the same two lines as last night, Huo Qinghong's eyes lit up slightly, but his face didn't look very happy. In front of his own people, he laughed and cursed quite childishly, but in front of outsiders, he was a bit like the prince of Huo Guogong.
"It's really you." Huo Qinghong raised her chin slightly and asked, "What is your name and nature?"
Liu Huiniang is blessed with a blessed life, "The girl's surname is Liu and her name is Huiniang."
Huo Qinghong raised his brows and said in a nonchalant manner, "You're a pretty good singer. Now that you're here, do you want to sing for us?"
Liu Huiniang’s lips curved slightly, “What do you want to hear, Master?”
Huo Qinghong's eyebrows were filled with arrogance, "Sing what you are best at."
Liu Huiniang smiled slightly, "People's girls are good at many things -" she rolled her eyes, "People's girls will sing a tune of "Sifan" for the young master."
Huo Qinghong looked indifferent and raised his chin to ask her to sing. Liu Huiniang moved her hands and eyes, and her body immediately showed up. As soon as she opened her mouth, Huo Qinghong's eyebrows raised again. She can be called "everyone" This woman is naturally extraordinary. Her mouth is light and round, her voice is pure and fine, her hands, eyes and body movements are all precise and graceful, which is really pleasing to the eye.
Although the song is Jiangnan soft language, it is not difficult to distinguish, and the charm is long and graceful, beautiful and charming, which really makes people feel lingering. Huo Qinghong half-narrowed his eyes, waiting for Liu Huiniang After singing the song, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, "Wonderful, it's really wonderful. I wonder if your troupe has some reputation. Come on, I'll give you a reward——"
The guard standing beside him immediately presented the reward. Liu Huiniang was stunned for a moment, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "Young master, you don't need to reward me, a common girl..."
Huo Qinghong raised his eyebrows, "If you sing well, you should naturally be rewarded. I feel bored at this moment, but you have added some interest to me."
The guard presented the silver reward, and Liu Huiniang had no choice but to take it. Seeing Huo Qinghong look away from her, she knew it was time to retreat. There was a look of unwillingness on her face, but she did not dare to make a mistake and turned around. Then he returned to the corridor.
After walking a few steps, a door opened wide, and Song Meiniang stood at the door with a mocking look on her face, her red lips twitching slightly, "Despicable."
She had a very seductive smile on her face, but when she opened her mouth, it was as if she had slapped someone in the face. Liu Huiniang's expression changed, but she did not show anger. She only raised her chin and brushed the black hair beside her ears, "Sister, I heard it." If I want to sing "Sifan" like my sister did just now, can my sister still be able to sing it?"
After Liu Huiniang finished speaking, she sneered and walked back to her room.
On the balcony, Huo Qinghong listened for five or six minutes to what was going on in the corridor. He laughed out loud and said to Ming Guilan: "These opera singers really have a lot of thoughts. I haven't spoken yet. I smell the smell." The son is here."
Ming Guilan laughed, "Isn't it just what you want?"
Huo Qinghong unfolded the folding fan in his hand and said, "It would be boring to do it deliberately, but the song just now is indeed wonderful. I don't know what good songs are available in the audience."
Soon, even Eunuch Fu knew what was happening on the balcony and told Huo Weilou about it. Huo Weilou was noncommittal and took a military book in hand to read. Seeing that he was not interested, Eunuch Fu looked at him suspiciously. After a moment, he turned around and came out to look for Bao Ruoyou.
"Youyou, Lord Marquis doesn't seem to be seasick today."
Bo Ruoyou said casually: "If a person is too tired, he will easily feel uncomfortable. Mr. Marquis may have a good rest today."
Eunuch Fu was still doubtful about yesterday's scene, so he asked again: "Yesterday we saw that you were also very concerned about the Marquis. In the past, the Marquis was a bit shy of strangers, but now you feel that the Marquis is treating you more kindly. ?"
Bo Ruoyou didn't realize he was there, "Of course he was very friendly."
Eunuch Fu wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask. In the end he just said, "Master Hou used to be very vicious. You don't blame him, do you?"
Bo Ruoyou laughed and said, "How could it be so? The Marquis has a high position and his subordinates should be strict. The daughter of the people and the Marquis were the first to know each other. It is impossible for the Marquis to treat a daughter of the people the way he treats his father-in-law. ”
Bao Ruoyou's expression was normal. Eunuch Fu didn't see the shyness of her daughter at all. She didn't have any intention of testing. She really had no idea about Huo Weilou. Although Eunuch Fu couldn't see through Huo Weilou, he Don't you understand Bo Ruoyou? He thought it was funny for a moment. If his Marquis really had some thoughts, but Bo Ruoyou didn't have any distracting thoughts, it would be really funny!
"Father, what are you laughing at?"
As Eunuch Fu thought about it, a smile appeared on his face. When Bo Ruoyou asked, he came back to his senses and hurriedly coughed to cover it up.
In the afternoon, Shen Ya actually ordered people to set up a stage on the east side of the balcony. In the evening, he went up to the third floor in person to invite Huo Weilou and his party to listen to the play tomorrow night. Shen Ya was very kind, but the words had not yet arrived. In front of Huo Weilou, Huo Qinghong had already agreed for him. Huo Weilou was a little helpless, but it could be seen that he was very interested, so he didn't stop him.
That night, the balcony was busy all night, and there were some babbling sounds from time to time in the cabin on the second floor. When everyone got up early the next morning, they saw that the stage had been set up on the balcony. Although the stage was not big, , but Nan Opera does not need a big stage, but it is enough, because the evening is about to start, and just after lunch, there are people rehearsing on the stage below. With these movements, the whole building and boat are busy. After a while, when night fell, the boat slowed down and the church was fully prepared.
On the boat, in addition to Huo Weilou's group and Yuchun's group, there were also many other boat passengers. Shen Ya was not so restrained this time. Boat passengers with some status could go to the second floor to listen to the show, so waiting When Huo Weilou led everyone downstairs, he saw a lot of people sitting in the hall. Shen Ya left the best seats to Huo Weilou and his party, and even the embroidered envoys who followed him made very thorough arrangements, waiting for everyone to sit down. , the musicians first came to the side of the stage with drums, flutes and flutes. Amidst a burst of clear flute sounds, today's show began.
The first one to appear was Song Meiniang's "Sifan". Today, Song Meiniang put on her outfit, with shining hairpins in her bun, her face painted red and rouge, and she wore a complicated and exquisite moon-white costume, with birds, animals, clouds and flowers on it. The embroidery work is exquisite and bright, making her whole body more charming and charming. I saw her walking up in small steps, her hands, eyes, and movements all graceful and attractive. However, when she opened her mouth, Huo Qinghong, who had heard Liu Huiniang sing, frowned slightly.
Song Meiniang does not sing as well as Liu Huiniang.
He drank tea half-heartedly and said softly to Ming Guilan: "You really want to be replaced."
Boss Yu was not far from the stage. He was staring at the show and the reaction of the audience. He didn’t know if he saw Huo Qinghong’s expression in his eyes. When he looked at Song Meiniang again, his expression had already changed. Somewhat ugly.
For some reason, Song Meiniang found it more difficult to sing as she went on to sing. When she finished singing this part of the opera, her face was covered with sweat, and even her rouge was gone. She hurriedly thanked the stage and walked quickly to the side of the curtain. In the makeup tent covered by the tent.
Boss Yu followed, and there were many attendants dressing up Liu Huiniang in the tent. Boss Yu scolded him regardless: "What did you sing just now? The face of the young master has changed! If I had known about this trip, I would have It’s really embarrassing to keep you here!”
Song Meiniang blushed, but Boss Yu's expression changed and he went to coax Liu Huiniang, "Huiniang, there must be no mistakes in your "Yao Tai" sword dance, otherwise the business we got will be ruined."
Liu Huiniang said softly: "Don't worry, sir, it's up to me."
She had finished dressing up, and now she stood up, glanced at Song Meiniang haughtily, and walked out of the tent.
The drama started again, and soon, Liu Huiniang stepped out in a pink fringed harem. Her makeup was brighter than that of Song Meiniang, and her figure was more graceful and agile. Today she also wore a double-feather hat filled with pearls and jade. Helmet and two swords in hand, he was riding the wind like an immortal from the sky. Before he could speak, there was a dazzling sword dance. His body movements were as graceful as the wind returning to the snow, and the sword dance was as graceful as a dragon swimming in front of a giant. With this opening, it has already made the audience stunned. Everyone present brightened up, including Huo Weilou, who all turned their attention to the stage.
Bao Ruoyou watched without blinking.
The sword dance was about to rest, but Liu Huiniang opened her mouth without even taking a breath. It was the lingering and graceful voice from last night again, her steps were delicate and her voice was passionate. Sometimes it was as clear and sharp as rings striking each other, and sometimes it was as delicate as a swallow. Humming and crowing, she sang elegant words slowly from her mouth. The originally love-struck story became more and more full of lingering and pathos, which simply made everyone present intoxicated.
The song was finished, but it was not over yet. Liu Huiniang thanked the gift and added another piece of "End of Love". This piece is not for a single actor, but the saddest scene in "Nan Ke Meng". There are also Junyi Xiaosheng came on stage with his supporting actors and performed a sad and sad performance. His singing made everyone present feel extremely sad. Even after the last song, they were still addicted to it for a long time and could not recover.
Bao Ruoyou's eyes were filled with mist, and she was also quite emotional. Huo Weilou stared at her for a moment, with a bit of darkness in his eyes, but he was the only one who was sober while all the spectators in the audience were moved.
At the end of the play, all the opera singers came on stage to call their curtains, but Song Meiniang was the only one missing. Boss Yu's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and he was about to get angry, but he still held it back in public. After the curtain call, he brought As Liu Huiniang came forward to offer tea, Huo Weilou drank half a cup, and Huo Qinghong sealed the reward for the honorable ones.
When he got up to leave, he saw that there were boat passengers behind him offering money, and there were actually rich people, so that the Yuchun class would perform again tomorrow. Boss Yu saw that everyone was happy to listen today, especially Huo Qinghong's expression changed later, so he They simply agreed, thinking that singing a few more performances would always make them think more about this profession. Once they arrived in the capital, the deal would be done.
He was about to discuss with Shen Ya when he suddenly heard the sound of "plop" falling into the water at the end of the ship's side. Boss Yu felt strange when a horrified sound suddenly rang out.
"Help, sister Mei Niang jumped into the river!"
Everyone around him was shocked by this sound. As soon as Huo Weilou and his party walked up the stairs to the third floor, they all stopped and looked in this direction. Boss Yu shouted again, "Mei Niang! What are you doing? Jumped into the river! Help, help—"
