Chapter 5

The boys went out to look for Liang Hongyu.

After a moment.

Liang Hongyu came in with a jug of wine. She had already changed into her regular clothes. Although she was older, she did not have a mature charm.

After Liang Hongyu came in, she saluted first.

She said to Liu Lang: "My lords have misunderstood, this child is not from the troupe."

Liu Lang looked a little displeased, and he said, "If not, so what?"

Gu Heng's face turned ugly, Liang Hongyu continued to smile and said: "This girl's elder brother is a scholar, and he can be regarded as the child of an innocent talent, how could he be bought so easily."

Hearing this, the young man in Confucian shirt hurriedly said to Wang Liulang: "Liulang, this girl's elder brother is famous, I'm afraid..."

Wang Liulang looked displeased.

"So what if she's a scholar, I'm flattering her, I hate others not knowing how to flatter her."

Liang Hongyu poured a glass of wine, she walked up to Wang Liulang, and said earnestly: "This girl has a long history of education, and I also met by chance. The play was written by her just now. She is really not a girl from an ordinary family. Please think twice, my lord."

Although Liang Hongyu didn't know the details of these people, she also knew that the people sitting in the second floor box were people she couldn't afford to offend.

Back then, his junior had contradicted the nobleman and was directly drugged.

There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. People like them have no choice anyway.

Liang Hongyu handed over the wine, Wang Liulang refused to take it, Liang Hongyu gritted her teeth and said.

"My lord, I am an old acquaintance with the former magistrate of Nanjing City. If you are really so unreasonable, then I can only do my best to protect this child."

Wang Liulang sneered and said, "It's just a magistrate, even if he wants to see me, I don't want to see him. What's the use of such a backer?"

Gu Heng clenched her fists tightly, and only now did she realize that the so-called distinction between superiority and inferiority, the so-called class society, is so powerless and humble.

She couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Wang Liulang, "I don't want to."

Wang Liulang laughed: "This girl is really interesting."

Gu Heng wanted to turn around and run away, but was grabbed by both arms by the boy. Gu Heng felt ruthless in her heart. She bit the boy very hard, and then ran out.

Although Gu Heng was thin and small, he was quite strong and almost ran out by him.

A servant wanted to slap Gu Heng, but Wang Wulang, who had been silent all this time, grabbed the servant's arm and said sharply, "That's enough, since you don't want to, then there's no reason to force it."

That Wang Liulang wanted to say something, but when he saw this Wang Wulang's face was serious, he suddenly stopped talking in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Liang Hongyu quickly saluted and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Liang Hongyu hurriedly dragged Gu Heng, who was still in shock, away.

After Gu Heng got out of the box, Liang Hongyu took her hand and asked with some concern: "How could you provoke such a person? Those young masters must be descendants of nobles from the way they talk and dress. If someone didn't intercede today, I'm afraid you……"

Gu Heng was also a little depressed.

"I don't know either. I was just watching a show offstage, and I haven't been to other places."

Liang Hongyu didn't want to ask any more questions, so she left Yanchun Hall with Gu Heng and others.

Along the way, Gu Heng was still in shock, but Liang Lansheng saw her strangeness, so he comforted her: "It's okay, I'll be home soon."

Gu Heng sighed slightly.

After arriving at the Chunxi class, Liang Hongyu dragged Gu Heng into the room alone to talk. Liang Hongyu's face was not very good, and she whispered: "I wanted to keep you for a while, but now it seems that you have to leave Nanjing quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to protect these things." People won't bother you."

In fact, Gu Heng knew that Liang Hongyu was afraid of getting into trouble.

But for now, leaving Nanjing is indeed their only way out.

Gu Heng nodded and agreed: "Okay, my mother and I will leave tomorrow, it's just..."

Liang Hongyu hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the money, no matter how poor my Chunxi class is, I still have money to send you to the capital."

Now that the words have come to this point, Gu Heng naturally doesn't want to say anything more.

"Okay, these days I really thank the class leader."

Liang Hongyu looked at Gu Heng with some guilt.

"Don't you want to say that, this new play is all thanks to you, but I want to drive you away, it's really..."

Gu Heng hurriedly said: "You don't need to say more, class leader, I know your difficulties, I'll go back and talk to my mother first."

Gu Heng left Liang Hongyu's room and went to Chen's room.

Mrs. Chen seemed to have just returned, with joy on her face, as if she had earned a lot of money today, and she also took out something wrapped in an oilcloth from her bosom.

"This is something that the official ladies in Nanjing eat. It seems to be called cherry fried."

Gu Heng took a small piece and ate it, and felt that there was nothing special about it except for the sweetness.

"Really delicious."

Chen said contentedly: "If this continues, we will be able to go to the capital in a month."

Gu Heng looked at Mrs. Chen, and said softly: "Mother, we can leave tomorrow, and the class leader said he would lend us the travel expenses."

Chen was taken aback for a moment.

"Then how? This Liang Hongyu is not rich? The friendship between Mother and her has not reached this level?"

Gu Heng smiled helplessly,
"I told a story to Mr. Lan Sheng, and Mr. Lan Sheng wrote that story into a play, and today I'm going to perform that play, and the audience is very impressed."

Chen's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe how her elm-like daughter could be so promising.

"Aren't you lying to your mother again, and you have been like a gourd all day long, why are you becoming so clever now?"

Gu Heng said in a low voice: "Mom, my brother and sister are so good, so naturally I won't be too bad."

Speaking of the sons and daughters that made him proud, Chen's complexion improved a lot. Although he felt a little blaming them in his heart, if he saw the truth, he probably wouldn't be able to say a single serious word.

"Oh, God finally opened his eyes for a while, let our elm-like Ah Heng open his mind."

……

Gu Heng secretly got out of bed while Chen was asleep, and she went to see Liang Lansheng.

Liang Lansheng's expression was faint, and he said to Gu Heng, "Are you still afraid?"

When Gu Heng heard this, his heart felt warm. After returning, no one asked her if she was afraid, only Liang Lansheng did.

Liang Lansheng continued: "When I was on stage for the first time, a master from the capital wanted to invite me to drink tea in his mansion. I refused, so I was given medicine. After that, I couldn't sing anymore."

A trace of sympathy flashed in Gu Heng's eyes.

"I have no relatives since I was a child, and I was sold to an opera troupe. The old troupe taught me to sing, and I also like opera. My senior sister said that if I had accepted my fate, it might be different now, but for a person like me, I have such a low status. People who are born want to live with dignity."

Liang Lansheng looked at Gu Heng.

"I think little Ah Heng is the same person as me."
