Chapter 49 Three Plants Mei 04
"Save people."
Huo Weilou gave the order without hesitation, and Lu Ke immediately rushed to the side of the ship with the embroiderer.
When they arrived at the side of the ship, they saw two little girls looking at the Lancang River with horrified expressions. The two were the closest to Song Meiniang. They watched her jump into the river, and their eyes were red with fear.
Lu Ke asked: "Where did you jump from?"
The little girl pointed to the footstool in front of her, "That's where you jumped."
Lu Ke and the embroiderer next to him looked at each other. They untied their swords and jumped into the river. There was a chaos on the balcony. Shen Ya frowned and ordered the unimportant boat passengers to return to their cabins. After a break, only the people from the Yuchun class were left.
Boss Yu was lying on the side of the ship with a frown on his face. He could only see the dark waves of the river below, but Song Meiniang's shadow could not be seen anywhere. Liu Huiniang was also standing beside her wearing a cloak. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Song is too ungrateful. This night was supposed to be a perfect one, but she is seeking death and survival."
"Why are you so vicious? Sister Song is half of your master. Without her to teach you, how could you be where you are today? She taught you everything, but you didn't appreciate it at all, but always wanted to replace her. Now she Life or death is unclear, but you only care about looking good in front of nobles. How can there be such an ungrateful person like you in this world?"
The play came to an end, and the actors served tea and wine, while others were cleaning up the objects on the left and right sides of the stage. As soon as Song Meiniang's accident happened, everyone in the Yuchun class gathered on the balcony. The voices they spoke at this moment were slightly emoticon Childish, yet convincing, everyone turned around and saw a little girl about ten years old, it was Yueniang.
Liu Huiniang turned around and saw Yueniang. She sneered, "It's because she couldn't sing when she got old. She stopped singing when she couldn't, but she wanted to fight for those false reputations. She taught me, but I'm gifted Here, whether she is there or not, what does it matter?"
As she spoke, she pointed under the side of the ship, "In order to save her, several of the attendants jumped in. If anyone is good or bad, I don't know if she will be safe on her way to hell."
Yue Niang's face turned pale with anger, and she continued to speak, but Boss Yu shouted angrily, "Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Huo Weilou and his entourage turned back again. How dare Boss Yu let everyone get away with it? The rescuer was sent by Huo Weilou. Boss Yu immediately came forward and said, "Thank you so much, sir, for your righteousness in saving me. I really can't think of anything else." Report."
Huo Weilou ignored Boss Yu and stood on the side of the ship. He looked down and saw that the river was completely dark. He could vaguely see Lu Ke and the others searching hard, "Here's the torch."
Hearing this, Shen Ya immediately ordered the boatman, "Go to the first floor deck to light a torch and let them shine..."
The torch was lit, and the river next to the boat was illuminated a little brighter. Lu Ke also went into the water. At this moment, he only saw four or five shadows hesitating in the river, but Song Meiniang was not seen for a long time. Lu Ke Ke looked around, and suddenly he plunged into the river. Some people were so frightened that they began to cry. Boss Yu clenched his hands anxiously. He didn't know whether it was because he was worried about Song Meiniang's life, or because he felt that the Yuchun class was making such a fuss in front of the nobles. Things are very ugly.
Soon, a low shout sounded, "Found it——"
Everyone hurriedly leaned down to look down, and sure enough they saw Lu Ke dragging someone to swim to the side of the boat. Someone on the deck lowered the rope. Soon, Lu Ke took Song Meiniang, who was soaked all over, onto the deck, so the balcony on the second floor Everyone above them hurriedly went to the first floor deck.
Song Meiniang was lying on the ground with a white face and her voice was very weak. Bao Ruoyou followed Huo Weilou and walked up to Song Meiniang as soon as they got on the deck. She first checked Song Meiniang's voice, then squatted down and pressed Song Meiniang's chest.
Boss Yu and Shen Ya followed up and hesitated to speak. Lu Ke said: "Our girl is half a doctor."
Of course, the doctor who knows medicine can be said to be half a doctor. Seeing this, Boss Yu and Shen Ya stopped asking any more questions. At this time, Ming Guilan was also carried down and saw Bo Ruoyou rescuing Song Meiniang. , he only took Song Meiniang's wrist to ask for her pulse, and quickly ordered: "Boil two large bowls of soup according to the most commonly used prescription for treating typhoid fever. Feed the person as soon as he wakes up."
At the end of winter, it was night again, and the river was as cold as bones. Song Meiniang was a delicate woman after all, and she jumped into the river to seek death. Naturally, she did not dare to be careless. As soon as Ming Guilan finished giving instructions, she heard Song Meiniang wake up with a cough. .
Her face was as white as paper, her eyes were red, and she opened her eyes weakly, but she saw everyone surrounding her, and she looked a little confused for a moment. At this time, Yueniang walked up from the crowd, and when she saw Song Meiniang like this, her eyes turned slightly red, "Sister Song, you have to live for everything, how can you be so hard to think about?"
Song Meiniang knew that she was not dead. She closed her eyes and shed a line of clear tears from the corners of her eyes, but she stopped speaking.
Boss Yu looked angry and unhappy. Seeing that the man was alive, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving me. Several of the warriors were frozen. I can't thank you enough——"
Now that the person is awake, Bao Ruoyou clapped his hands and stood up. Yueniang glanced at Bao Ruoyou at this moment, and there was a bit of gratitude in her eyes. Bao Ruoyou said: "Send him away quickly. Go in, she will be frightened and cold, and she will inevitably suffer from typhoid fever. Follow the young master's instructions and give her medicine to avoid getting seriously ill."
Although Bao Ruoyou is a woman, she speaks in a clear and calm manner, and she is following Huo Weilou. Boss Yu hurriedly agreed. Seeing the servants of Yuchun class taking Song Meiniang away, Bao Ruoyou then He breathed a sigh of relief.
The river wind on the deck was biting, so Huo Weilou didn't stay much and led everyone to the third floor. Huo Qinghong was a little uninterested, "It was a good night, but I almost died, but I can't sing anymore, so... You shouldn't jump into the river."
Seeing that Lu Ke and others were dripping wet, Huo Qinghong urged: "Go back to your room and change clothes quickly, lest you get sick too."
Bo Ruoyou said, "It's better to drink a bowl of soup later to get rid of the cold."
Lu Ke scratched his head and smiled, "Girl, don't worry about us, the cold is nothing." After saying goodbye, he quickly retreated.
After returning to the third floor, I heard a noise in the cabin below. I guess it was caused by Song Meiniang's jumping into the river. However, the noise quickly subsided. The boat that had been busy all day was finally cleared. It became quiet in the night.
Cheng Yunzhi's legs and feet were not good, so he did not go out to listen to the opera at night, but the movement below still alarmed him. When Bao Ruoyou came to talk to him in the evening, he said: "The opera singer relies on his voice, and his voice collapsed. , then everything is gone, no one appreciates it, no one values it, and livelihood is still secondary. If you can no longer be on stage in the future, it will be life-threatening."
Bao Ruoyou sighed, "Song people actually jumped in front of everyone like that. It's really a little impulsive."
Cheng Yunzhi shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own fate. This is considered a death. If you can think about it after suffering, it will be fine. If an actress with such a reputation like her has been so successful all these years, I have accumulated enough wealth, and I will always be able to have food and clothing without worries for the rest of my life."
Bao Ruoyou thought of Song Meiniang's figure when she appeared on the stage. She really saw that she was very proficient in body and kung fu, but she was old and her voice was not working anymore. She also had to focus on being first, which made her look ugly. The so-called heroes end their lives and beauties die in their twilight years, it is nothing more than this, but there are very few people who think about danger and retreat when the flowers are blooming.
Thinking of Song Meiniang's desperate look, Bao Ruoyou felt inexplicably that she might not let her go easily.
Her worries became a reality on the morning of the second day. After breakfast, she was about to deliver food to Cheng Yunzhi, but she was blocked by Yueniang at the corner from the first floor to the second floor. Yueniang, who was very wary of Bao Ruoyou, looked at her pleadingly, "Sister, sister, can you help us?"
Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
Yue Niang's eyes were bright red, "Sister Song is not very well. She can't eat or drink any medicine. I don't know what to do. I don't care about Sister Song, and others are trying to outdo me..." ”
Bao Ruoyou found an embroiderer to bring food to Cheng Yunzhi, and followed Yueniang to see Song Meiniang. As soon as he walked to the door, Bo Ruoyou was stunned. The place where Song Meiniang lived was actually next door to Yueniang's cabin. , it was the place where she and Huo Weilou hesitated that night.
Pushing open the room, a smell of soup came to the room. However, when the sound was heard, the person lying on the bed remained motionless. Yueniang whispered, "Sister, I will bring the doctor sister who saved you last night to come and see You."
Yue Niang walked to the bed and stood there. Song Meiniang was lying lifeless, her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes were clearly trembling, but she still didn't open them. Bo Ruoyou came forward and saw that she looked a little unhappy. It was normal to be red, so she raised her hand and touched her forehead. Sure enough, it was a little hot. She looked at her collar again and saw a layer of sweat.
Bo Ruoyou felt bad, "We can't let her go like this. It's better to let her take the medicine no matter what."
Yue Niang’s little face wrinkled up and her eyes turned red again. Bo Ruoyou looked at Song Meiniang and sighed, “If you don’t accept it, you have to get in shape before you can compete with others. If you don’t want to, You can't let others compare you with your appearance like this. Not only will you not make people sympathize with you, but it will also make others laugh at you. Why should you do this?"
Yue Niang lay beside the bed, "Sister, did you hear that? If you die, Yue'er won't be alive either..."
Song Meiniang moved her fingers. Although she did not open her eyes, she seemed to be touched. Bo Ruoyou saw that there was paper and pen in the room, so he turned around and wrote a prescription to Yueniang, "Use this prescription three times a day. Cold water decoction, her body is extremely hot, don't be careless."
Yue Niang said hurriedly: "Thank you, sister. If my sister is well, she will go and thank you in person." After saying this, she glanced at Song Meiniang sadly, "It's just that her heart is dead now, and her body is half dead. I don’t know when it will get better.”
Although Song Meiniang suppressed Liu Huiniang, Yueniang was still loyal to her. Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but ask, "Are you sisters?"
Yue Niang shook her head, but then said, "It's not a kiss, but it's the same as a kiss."
Bao Ruoyou is an outsider after all, and it’s not easy to inquire any more. He gave a few instructions on how to take medicine and take care of her before leaving. Upon seeing this, Yueniang personally escorted her out. As soon as she left, she saw Boss Yu and Liu Huiniang coming here. As they walked up, they were followed by a handsome man, who seemed to be the young man who sang "End of Love" last night. This man was in his late teens, tall and handsome. Perhaps it was because he had been practicing his body movements all year round, and his brows were quite charming. There are two points of romantic attitude.
"Hey, why are you here?" Boss Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Bao Ruoyou.
Yue Niang stood beside Bo Ruoyou, lowering her eyebrows and muttering: "Sister, come to see Sister Song."
These words sounded as if Bao Ruoyou had come by herself. She glanced at Yueniang and did not expose it. Boss Yu was a little flattered, "Oh, I made you tired last night. You are still thinking about it today. I really bother you. ”
Bo Ruoyou smiled lightly and said, "She is not in good health and she needs to have a good life. I have told Yueniang and I will leave now."
Boss Jade quickly got out of the way, and after Bao Ruoyou took a few steps, Boss Jade turned to look at Yueniang. He looked kindly at Yueniang, "Have you been staying at Mei Niang's place? There is still a meeting tonight. It's time for you to go to rehearsals, so you don't have to stay here too long."
The corners of Yueniang's lips pursed slightly, and Liu Huiniang smiled, "What are you doing standing still? I value you so much that I let you take the stage by peeing like this. We didn't have such an opportunity back then. Are you still more ignorant?"
Yue Niang raised her eyes, glared at Liu Huiniang fiercely, turned around and ran away.
Bao Ruoyou returned to the third floor and happened to see Huo Weilou coming out of the room. When he saw her, he asked, "Why have you been gone so long?"
Bao Ruoyou talked about his encounter with Yueniang, and Huo Weilou frowned, "She didn't appreciate your kindness at that time, but now she has come to find you. Just give her a try." , don’t be too concerned.”
Bao Ruoyou nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, women of the people are sensible. In fact, she is still a child. It always makes people feel more pity when she looks at her."
"You are always very patient with these children." Huo Weilou thought of the young master in the Anqing Hou Mansion. She was also very kind to others.
At this time, the sound of drums and flutes came from the stage downstairs again. They looked down and saw someone walking on the stage. They took a closer look and saw that the person singing in the front was not Xiao Yueniang. ? Although she is young, her figure is extremely delicate and flexible, and she is as graceful and delicate as Liu Huiniang's sword dance last night.
Bao Ruoyou knew that all the opera singers had developed good skills since childhood, so he felt more sad. Huo Qinghong and Wu Yu also heard the noise in the cabin and came out to stand in the corridor. Above, Huo Qinghong raised his eyebrows, "I wasn't even interested last night, but now that I hear this song, I find it interesting."
There is still a meeting tonight, but after learning about the fight in Yuchun's class and seeing Song Meiniang jumping into the river, it is somewhat disappointing. However, Huo Qinghong loves to be lively, and Wu Yu likes to listen to operas. He would miss it, but Bo Ruoyou didn't want to go see it, so when the night settled and the stage was fully prepared, Bo Ruoyou told Eunuch Fu that he couldn't go on tonight.
Eunuch Fu didn't force himself and just accompanied Huo Weilou and Huo Qinghong downstairs. Huo Weilou didn't have much interest in Nanxi Opera. This time he sat down in the elegant seat and his thoughts were even more erratic. I thought I could just sit down and listen to the play, but Liu Huiniang and others lingered in the dressing room for a while. This made Huo Weilou even less interested.
After a stick of incense, the performance of "Lianxiang Companion" sung tonight began. However, as soon as it appeared, there were two people, one tall and one short. The tall one was naturally Liu Huiniang, and the one beside her was the younger one. Yueniang.
Wu Yu was slightly surprised, "I actually let this little girl appear on the stage. This "Lian Xiang Companion" is originally a story about two beauties of equal talent who become each other's confidants. Now that they are one big and one small, it feels a bit inconsistent."
Although she is not tall enough, when Yueniang opened her mouth, she was quite stunning. Wu Yu immediately praised her, "Good! Although her singing voice is childish at such a young age, her skills are not weak at all. This is definitely She is extremely talented and has been taught since she was a child. This little girl will be great in the future, maybe even more powerful than the Liu family."
Shen Ya was waiting at the side. Hearing this, he smiled and said: ""Lianxiang Companion" is originally the specialty of the Song family and the Liu family, but what happened to the Song family last night means that we can't sing it again today. Don't look at this The little girl is young, but she was also taught by the Song family."
Huo Qinghong thought of what Yueniang said last night and asked, "This Liu family was also taught by the Song family?"
Shen Ya responded with a smile, "Song Master was the earliest actor in the Yuchun class. Later generations of ladies were taught by her personally. Boss Yu is a Southern opera fanatic. He can also sing and act, and can also write Legend has it that he searched everywhere for talented opera singers. Therefore, it would take 20 or 30 years for other opera troupes to produce a top actress, but here, they were succeeded one after another. When the Liu family retired, this little girl would Can take over."
There are two beauties on the stage, one big and one small. Their hands, eyes, body and steps are all graceful and lifelike. Liu Huiniang and Pinting are passionate, and Yueniang is delicate and charming. And with Yueniang’s appearance and figure, I’m afraid even if it’s not even five years, In two or three years, she will be on par with Liu Huiniang. The audience was all dressed up because of the two of them, and when the first chorus was over, the whole hall was filled with splendor.
When we got to the second fold, it was not a beautiful woman cherishing each other, but a pair of mandarin ducks playing in spring.
As soon as the play started, Wu Yu looked at the hall, and then said: "Fortunately, Miss Bo is not here today, and none of the female guests who came last night have arrived tonight, otherwise it would be a bit rude."
Huo Weilou didn't understand it at first, but after he started singing the lyrics, his eyes changed slightly.
"...The sky leaves people with nothing, the grass borrows flowers to sleep, and the clouds are dotted on the temples, and the red pines are green..."
"When I see you cuddling up to each other and making love slowly, I wish I could be like a human being and form a ball with you. It's so funny. It's rouge in the sun and fresh in the rain..."
Xiaosheng’s singing was melodious and lingering. Hui Niang looked shy and half-hidden her face. The audience was full of spectators, and their faces were bright and bright. Today’s spectators were all men. Naturally, everyone understood what these words were saying. Seeing that Huiniang was still looking pretty and graceful in the eyes of everyone, she became more and more seduced and many people present lost most of their souls.
Wu Yu clasped his hands together and sighed, "It's true that when spring comes, it rains, and when I fall asleep, Wushan is covered with clouds..."
Huo Qinghong smiled with raised eyes, "Wonderful——"
On the stage, Hui Niang and Xiao Sheng were flirting with each other, and their affection was deep. The touching and pathos lyrics came out melodiously from their mouths, which made everyone sit down with their hearts full of love. Huo Weilou rubbed the black jade finger on his finger, and put the He picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. He glanced up to the third floor inadvertently. For some reason, he couldn't sit still.
As soon as the play ended, before Liu Huiniang and others came to offer tea, Huo Weilou stood up and left the table. Boss Yu was a little disappointed. Seeing that Huo Qinghong and Wu Yu didn't move, he hurriedly brought Liu Huiniang forward to express his goodwill. .
Huo Wei went upstairs to the third floor. It was quiet in the corridor. Only the dim lights swayed and cast a mottled shadow. He walked to the door with heavy steps, but did not hear any movement next door. He stood After a moment, the door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang, and Bo Ruoyou was startled and walked out of the room quickly.
"Master Hou?" Bao Ruoyou thought the wind had blown the door open, but she didn't expect Huo Weilou to be standing at the door. She thought Huo Weilou had been drinking, but when she looked carefully, his eyes were very clear.
Huo Weilou stood at the door, looking at her condescendingly, without answering or moving. Bao Ruoyou blinked, "What happened to the Marquis?"
Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, at her bun with a few strands of hair scattered, at her eyebrows that looked more beautiful in the dim light, and at her thin lips that were quite moist after just drinking tea. Watching, he entered the door without saying a word and closed the door with a bang.
Bao Ruoyou stood outside in a daze, not knowing what Huo Weilou was going crazy about. After a long while, he shook his head angrily and turned back into the house. Wasn't he listening to a play? Why do people become so weird after listening to a play?
Although Bao Ruoyou could hear the sound of drums and psalms, the lyrics were not quite clear. Naturally, she didn’t know what Huo Weilou was doing. It was already late, so she didn’t care about it and quickly rested. .
Not long after I lay down, the sound of singing sounded again in the cabin on the second floor. I still couldn’t hear the lyrics clearly, but the clear and lingering singing must have come from Liu Huiniang’s mouth. She was half asleep and half awake, as if in deep reverie. Liu Huiniang is leading the brilliance today. If she doesn't stop at this late hour, I'm afraid Song Meiniang won't be able to sleep tonight.
When Bo Ruoyou fell into a deep sleep, the night in Huo Weilou, which was separated by a wall, was a bit difficult. First he had difficulty falling asleep, and then he had a strange dream. In the dream, he used grass as a cushion to sleep with flowers, full of emotions. The red color on the ground stained the skin of Xishuang Saixue, so bright and beautiful that it almost made him lose control. Before dawn, Huo Weilou woke up in a wet and cold brocade quilt.
He got up to change his clothes, drank another cup of cold tea, and could no longer sleep.
When the sky was slightly bright, the sleepy boatmen also got up. Things tend to go wrong at night, so they had to lower the mast and lower the anchor to make the ship move slower. The sky was getting brighter and the canvas needed to be raised. Last night it was lowered The anchor has to be taken up as well. The two boatmen in charge of collecting the anchor yawned and went up to the deck. This was a job they did every day. They knew where the thick rope hanging the anchor was without opening their eyes. They squinted and groped for the rope. Start pulling up.
Pull and pull. Just halfway, the anchor got stuck and couldn't be pulled anymore. A boatman cursed in a low voice and walked to the side of the ship impatiently. He thought he was just entangled. What aquatic plants and debris, but when he leaned forward and looked into the river, his hazy sleepy eyes suddenly woke up.
The surface of the river was covered with mist, but the water was still clear. He saw at a glance that what was mixed with the anchor rope was not aquatic plants, but a swollen body floating face down on the river for an unknown period of time...
The boatman screamed in horror.
