Splendid spring returns

Chapter 102 Old Lover

"Hmph!" Aunt Qiu sneered, "I'm afraid I might miss it. I think it's because Xu Defu took money from other opera troupes. It's not easy to shirk, so he recruited them all, which made grandma suffer."

"That's all." Liao let out a long breath, propped his head on his arms, and said lazily: "It's all here, can I still be kicked out? It's just a mess in the new year, and I can't listen to the show for a day. Later Tell them to pick the best ones, let a few pillars sing a few words and I will listen to them."

"Yes."

When Gui Zhi went out to spread the word, the troupe naturally complained, but how could Mrs. Liao care?Hearing the babbling and babbling on the stage, everyone felt a little tired. Liao covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. Seeing a few more people coming to the stage, she raised her eyes and asked Gui lazily. Zhi said: "There are a few more..."

Before finishing speaking, the person suddenly seemed to be frozen, and after a while, the reclining body slowly straightened up. Aunt Qiu and Aunt Feng felt strange, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with grandma?"

"It's nothing."

Liao suddenly showed a smile, turned to the two aunts and said, "What do you think of these lines?"

Seeing the smile on her face, Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu knew that she was satisfied, and she was willing to spoil the fun, so they agreed.Mrs. Liao nodded, and said to Gui Zhi: "Go and tell Steward Xu, let's set up this troupe for the New Year, and let them enter the mansion every year. Isn't there a Changfeng Pavilion outside the second gate? In previous years, it was given to the local I went to some poor students who were rushing to take the exam to live, and now it is vacant, let them live in, practice hard, live until the end of the first month, and then tell them to leave."

"Yes."

Gui Zhi agreed, turned and left.Here, Mrs. Liao ordered not to sing, and asked several people on the stage to come to him.

The actors were a little uneasy, and walked over with their heads down.Mrs. Liao looked up and down at the Xiaosheng pretending to be a young man, and said lightly: "You are singing well, so I have ordered you to sing New Year's opera in the mansion. Because of the special circumstances this year, the mansion did not invite famous actors and actresses. You have to practice hard, and don't slap me in the face when the time comes. If you work hard, you can show some unique skills in front of our ancestors, or sing to her old man's heart, then you are lucky, and you will stay in the mansion in the future It is not known whether he specializes in singing."

Aunt Feng hurriedly echoed: "That's not true, it's their good fortune to have this opportunity. Wouldn't it be better to stay in our mansion than go hungry and eat outside?"

Aunt Qiu also said: "Are you happy and silly? Don't hurry up and thank grandma."

Only then did the few people who were praised come back to their senses, all of them showed surprise expressions on their faces, and the little student bowed and said: "As expected, it is really a great fortune, the young ones must study hard and practice hard, and live up to grandma's support. "

"It's a person who can talk, that's it, go down, remember your own words, study hard and practice hard."

Liao waved her hands with a smile, and when those people went down, she suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed out loud.

Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt that the Liao family today was a little abnormal.

What is her identity?It's just a few actors, is it worth calling over to tell them personally?Isn't it enough to send someone to teach a few words?Besides, grandma glanced at the kid pretending to be a student several times, and now she couldn't even control her smile. This is...

The two dared not say anything, but they began to worry about the color of the hat on Gu Changting's head. Of course, they were more worried that Liao Shi had really lost his mind and was fascinated by an actor.What would you do if she fell down?Bundled together, they can't beat Xin Nian who only loves the backyard.

"Why don't you ask me why I'm laughing?"

Just as he was speculating, he suddenly heard Liao Shi speak leisurely.The two aunts looked at each other again, seeing the complacent look on Liao's face, Fang was relieved a little, and Aunt Feng made a joke and asked: "Excuse me for being stupid, I have thought about it for a long time, but I still don't understand why grandma is smiling like this. carefree?"

"No wonder you don't know." Liao leaned back on the couch, lost her mind for a while, and suddenly sighed softly: "How many years have passed? It's been almost ten years. When did Sister Xin enter the mansion?" ? I vaguely remember that it was such a time.”

Concubine Feng and Concubine Qiu's ears perked up all of a sudden, Concubine Qiu asked suspiciously, "Is this related to Concubine Xin?"

"Yes." Liao nodded, "Have you seen that guy pretending to be a niche? He looks almost exactly like a person. If sister Xin sees it, I'm afraid her eyes will fall out."

Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu took a deep breath at the same time, looking at each other with the excitement of eating a big melon, Aunt Feng asked cautiously: "So, that Xiaosheng looks like Aunt Xin who used to know?" A person looks a lot alike? But the eyeballs are not going to fall out, right? Unless... Could it be that this man looks a lot like Sister Xin's former friend?"

Liao stared at her, and said indifferently: "What do you think of us noble women? What kind of match? Even if Sister Xin was born in the general family, her words and deeds are not proper, she will not be so low."

"Yes, yes, it's the concubine's slip of the tongue."

Aunt Feng pretended to slap her on the cheek lightly, and she heard Liao laugh again: "But Sister Xin is not afraid of anything, she doesn't take her daughter's discipline seriously, she treats Tan Feng Love, we are all well aware of this matter. The window paper between the two of them was almost pierced, but unfortunately... before the Tan family proposed marriage, something happened to the Xin family, and the Tan family was also implicated , and then, I heard that Tan Feng escaped on the road of exile, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, Sister Xin was also brought back to the mansion by the prince, and a pair of fateful mandarin ducks were separated like this."

"Oh my God!"

Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu's mouths opened into an "O" shape at the same time: It's so explosive, there is such a thing?It's just like the drama sung on stage, but the ending in the drama is that lovers get married, but Aunt Xin never even thinks about it.

"Don't be... this Xiaosheng is that Tan Feng, right?"

Aunt Feng's eyes were full of excitement, her voice lowered a lot, she saw Liao shaking her head: "How come? This Xiaosheng is only at the age of a weak crown. If Tan Feng is still alive, he should be in his thirties."

Aunt Qiu said with a smile: "That's good, this year is going to be exciting. I can't wait to see the expression on Sister Xin's face when she sees this person. With her straightforward personality, will she lose her composure on the spot?"

Aunt Feng hurriedly said: "It will definitely. How powerful is Aunt Xin? And relying on the prince to spoil her, any emotions will naturally explode immediately. How can I wait for the night? It's just that this matter should be taken by surprise, early. It’s no fun if you get caught out.”

The Liao family said indifferently: "The Tan family is only loyal to General Xin, they are not well-known in the capital, and Tan Feng doesn't like to make friends, so he only wanted to go to the Xin Mansion. Now in this mansion, besides the prince and me, there are Who remembers what he looks like? At that time, they will be asked to live outside the second gate, and the prince will not care about a few actors, let alone sister Xin, who will not be able to get out of the second gate. Or we are young friends, she Although I am unkind to me, I can't be ruthless to her, no, I feel sorry for her lovesickness, and I specially want to give her a surprise during the Chinese New Year."
