The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 354 The Theater
The backyard of Yan Mansion is hidden in a bamboo forest.

Entering the courtyard, in front of a long row of low houses, stoves, bamboo chairs, and baskets were scattered on the floor.

Li Buyan held up a chair and said, "Sanhe, there are still people living here."

The people living there must be servants, because there are still a few pieces of rough-hewn clothes hanging on the bamboo poles where clothes are hung.

Yan Sanhe looked from room to room, and after finishing the last room, she said without any pause, "Let's go to the theater."

This is the end?
What kind of fame can this reveal?

Li Buyan didn't dare to ask further, "Where is the theater?"

"It should be in the back garden."

Li Buyan teased: "It once again proves that my Sanhe girl's background is good. She must also have a theater at home."

Yan Sanhe was startled by what she said. During this period, he was busy solving Jingchen's inner demons and had not thought about his own life experience for a long time.

"There should be, otherwise I wouldn't blurt it out."

"Miss Yan, please think again, which way is to the back garden?"

The road to the gate of the mansion is winding and secluded. Where it leads, Li Buyan doesn't know.

Yan San clasped his hands and pointed towards the middle road: "This one."

This is a path paved with bluestone bricks, and bamboos are still planted on both sides. When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, which is quite artistic.

Generally, scholars like bamboo. It can be seen that this bamboo forest is an old property of the Tang family. After Yan Ruxian moved in, it retained its original appearance.

The two of them walked for less than half a cup of tea, passed through an arch, and had a panoramic view of the back garden.

Li Buyan glanced at it and sighed, "It's really big."

Yan San pointed to a small four-cornered building in the distance: "That should be the stage."

"Hohohoho!"

Li Buyan's eyes widened, "This is not a stage, is it just a theater? How luxurious!"

"You go and take a walk on the stage."

"What about you?"

"I sat down and watched."

"Look at what?"

"Look at you."

see what i do?
Although Li Buyan was confused, he still stepped onto the stage quickly.

"Sanhe, this stage was left by the Tang family in the past. The wooden boards under the feet are very old and creak when you step on it. It has not been used for a long time and is covered with dust."

This is not surprising.

Yan Ruxian was a eunuch. Eunuchs could not blatantly marry wives and take concubines, so naturally they would not invite troupes to perform at home.

Over time, the stage became empty.

Yan Sanhe looked at Li Buyan, and a picture immediately emerged in his mind: in the play, the imperial concubine and the king were entangled infatuatedly, and outside the play, Tang Zhiwei politely rejected the first prince.

How ironic!

How true!
……

After the summer solstice, the days gradually get shorter and the nights get longer. In addition, it is cloudy today. When Xie Zhifei went to the office, the sky was already very dark.

"Master, let's take a car. It looks like it's going to rain."

"Ride fast."

Xie Zhifei took the horse and was about to turn over when he suddenly paused: "Where could he be now?"

He refers to Zhao Yishi.

Zhu Qing half covered her mouth, "After sending Mr. Lu back to his home, he was called away by the prince's people."

"Where's the prince?"

"File a case in the Third Division."

Zhu Qing: "It is said that some old people from the Ministry of Rites were called for questioning in the afternoon."

Xie Zhifei: "Du Jianxue?"

Zhu Qing: "I also called."

Xie Zhifei: "Have the people who took Li Xing set off?"

Zhu Qing: "The royal guards have already set off before the court ends."

Xie Zhifei: "There is no movement from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College?"

Zhu Qing: "No."

After asking around for a while, Xie Zhifei felt completely at ease and immediately got on his horse and headed straight for Yan Sanhe's mansion.

Suddenly, something hit him on his left cheek. When he touched it, it turned out to be rain.

Zhu Qing caught up, "Master, it's raining." Xie Zhifei slapped the horse on the butt, "Let's go before it rains too hard!"

……

the other side.

Li Buyan floated down from the stage and walked to Yan Sanhe, "It's raining, let's go back."

"Stop talking, I have a question that I still can't figure out."

In his daze, Yan Sanhe whispered: "Lu Shi is such an ungrateful person. Why didn't the late prince take action to deal with him so that he could help my junior sister avenge her betrayal?"

"Oh, my ancestors!"

Li Buyan stamped his feet and pulled Yan Sanhe up, "Can you go back home and think about it? It's raining hard."

Only then did Yan Sanhe realize that it was raining, and hurriedly said: "Go back home."

It was too late. As soon as we turned out of the alley, raindrops started falling.

Li Buyan's body had just suffered internal injuries. After a few days of recovery, he could not catch a cold. Yan Sanhe made an immediate decision: "Find a place to take shelter from the rain first. Let's wait until the rain subsides before we leave."

Li Buyan stood on tiptoe and looked around, "Sanhe, you can avoid it over there."

Yan Sanhe looked along Li Buyan's hand and saw a protruding eaves.

"go!"

The two of them ran over in one breath. As soon as they stood firm, before they had time to brush off the water drops on their bodies, another two ran over to take shelter from the rain.

Out of habit, Li Buyan pulled Yan Sanhe aside and stood between her and the two people.

"When will the rain stop?"

"God knows."

"How long have we been out?"

"You should have it in half an hour!"

"Is it too late?"

"Danger."

"Then go?"

"go!"

The two of them rushed into the heavy rain. Yan Sanhe glanced subconsciously and saw that they were two young scholars wearing t-shirts.

Not long after the two men left, the rain gradually became lighter and the wind became stronger.

Li Buyan saw the clouds rolling in the sky, fearing that more rain would come, "Sanhe, let's go while the rain is light now."

"it is good."

They said they were walking, but they were actually trotting. Yan Sanhe was running when he suddenly noticed several people dressed as scholars passing them.

Li Buyan muttered in a low voice: "If you don't study well at home on a rainy day, why are you running out?"

Yan Sanhe suddenly stopped, some kind of speculation vaguely emerging in his heart.

Li Buyan ran more than ten feet away and suddenly found that Yan Sanhe was missing. He turned around and saw that this man was standing there in a daze, motionless again.

Even if you are in a daze, you have to look at the timing!
Li Buyan quickly turned back and said angrily: "I'm talking about ancestors, can you..."

"Don't say anything."

Yan Sanhe grabbed Li Buyan's arm.

She held on so tightly that the corners of Li Buyan's eyebrows jumped slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Where do you think Third Master is now?"

Where else?
"If I'm not in the Yamen, I'm listening to music in Goulan."

"What's the fastest way to find him?"

"It's simple. Just grab anyone from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and ask."

"Then you ask the third master's whereabouts as quickly as possible, and then..."

Yan Sanhe took a deep breath, "Then tell him that the scholars may be making trouble and ask him to go to the streets to take a look."

"what?"

Li Buyan was immediately dumbfounded, "You, how did you know?"

"It's too late to elaborate."

Yan Sanhe let go of his hand and said, "I'll follow those scholars."

"Wait!"

When Li Buyan heard this, he was so frightened that he put his palm directly on Yan Sanhe's shoulder: "What are you doing following those scholars?"

"In addition to making it easier to join you, there may also be some unexpected gains!"
