Chapter 18 The skirt

Liao Caichen sat there calmly, sipping the tea gently, and said to Yu Chunhua, "Master, this tea is good, sweet, fresh and mellow, and the fragrance is quiet and clear. You can try it."

Yu Chunhua thought to himself that you are so energetic, but while standing up and walking out with your hands behind your back, he thought of getting some breath in the yard.

As soon as you go out, there is a screen wall that separates the main hall from the main entrance of the house. On the screen wall is a pattern of sunrise and sea of ​​clouds. I saw clouds rolling like vast smoke waves. A red sun above it seemed to reflect the brilliance, shining brightly.

"The rich family has cultivated so exquisitely no matter what. Unlike us, we are homes all over the world. We have to be grateful to have a comfortable bed every night." Yu Chunhua sighed, and moved and left, but before he could take a step, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the thick screen wall. He found that the sun was not carved, but a stone cave that was chiseled open. On the other side of the cave, there seemed to be light coming in.

Yu Chunhua didn't know if it was intentional or for another reason, so she walked to the screen wall and pressed her eyes on the sun.

It didn't matter when he saw this. He suddenly said "Huh", took two steps back, and said "How strange."

Liao Caichen was drawn out by his voice and said to Yu Chunhua, "Class master, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Yu Chunhua grabbed the back of his neck and pointed at the screen wall, "That sun is a hole. Come over and see what you can see?"

"Cave?" Liao Caichen didn't take this matter seriously. He just walked to the screen wall as Yu Chunhua said, put one eye next to the cave, and looked at the opposite side.

But when he looked over, he couldn't help but say "Oh" and said in a panic, "Oh, why is there an exact same yard opposite here? I didn't see this yard at the door when I came here just now."

After saying this, the two of them quickly left the screen wall and walked around in front, and looked at the opposite side with four eyes: There was no exact same house. Outside the gate, there was a bamboo forest, with bamboo shadows and bamboo leaves rustling, like the sound of rustling footsteps.

"Hey, I've encountered a strange thing today." Liao Caichen laughed twice, wanting to go around the back of the screen wall to look at it again, but at this moment, a figure walked through the corridor next to the main hall. He was wearing a delicate lake-colored silk shirt and short boots. The sound of walking was soft. If Liao Caichen hadn't seen him when he turned around, he probably had not noticed it even though he approached both of them.

"Young Master Qiu." Liao Caichen was stunned for a moment, staring at the man who did not move.

Qiu Ran smiled at him and said, "Miss Liao arrived as promised. Qiu was very grateful. However, because some family matters were to be handled, I was really sorry for you to wait for a long time."

This was the first time Yu Chunhua saw Qiu Ran. Seeing that his words and deeds were full of etiquette, he let go of his heart. He was afraid that Qiu Ran was a rude and arrogant person. If he found out that Liao Caichen was a man, the entire opera troupe might suffer.

So he threw all the strange things just now behind him and asked at Qiu Ran with a smile, "I wonder why Mr. Qiu wants us to come to the mansion to sing opera? Do you don't like the messy people in the tea garden?"

Qiu Ran smiled slightly, "It is precisely because listening to this drama in that environment actually ruined the drama."

"But this drama requires a few people to sing together. You only invited Liao...ah... the girl came alone, I'm afraid she would perform poorly."

Qiu Ran waved his hand slightly, "It's okay, whether the show is good or not depends entirely on the audience's own feelings. Don't worry, the headmaster."

***

Liao Caichen sang very well tonight, busy but not chaotic, slow but constantly, water sleeves are close and separated, layered, subtle but also inextricably revealing a friendship that is hard to part with. There is no trace of connection between the high and low voices. It is water cut eyes, mist cut clothes, and a song of charming spring brilliance at the banquet.

Even Yu Chunhua was surprised by his performance, and he kept regretting why such a good seedling didn't know how to cherish himself. But on one side, he saw Qiu Ran sitting alone at the table staring at Liao Caichen dancing with two hot tears in his eyes.

"It seems that this person who is not short of money also has his own difficulties, which is the same as in the opera: 'Every family has his own account, and every family has a difficult time singing the song.'"

Thinking of this, my heart felt a little relieved. Just then, Liao Caichen sang a melodious and melodious ending to end the play.

Qiu Ran wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and slowly clapped Liao Caichen, who had not yet relaxed his posture, but his eyes seemed to be growing on him, motionless.

Yu Chunhua said in his heart that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Liao Caichen for a while, then turned to Qiu Ran and smiled, "Mr. Qiu, Miss Liao's makeup is a bit blurry. I'll take her to the back and draw again. You can eat some wine and food first, and then let her sing it for you later."

After saying that, he pulled Liao Caichen out. The two of them had nothing to say, and just lay on the railing and stared at the sparse bamboo next to them in a daze.

"Class master, why do you think this young master Qiu has a special liking for "The West Chamber"?" After a while, Liao Caichen muttered silently and touched his chin with his hand.

"Maybe there is a new betrayal in the family?"

After saying this, Yu Chunhua looked at the room behind him. Seeing that Qiu Ran was still sitting at the table and did not move, he turned to Liao Caichen and said, "It's almost time to go in. After singing, we will collect the money and leave quickly. Don't delay here for too long."

"Look, be careful." Liao Caichen sneered, turned around and wanted to walk into the room, but this turn made him see a person: the upper body couldn't see clearly, but the apricot-red phoenix-tail skirt on the lower body was so eye-catching in the bamboo forest. Now, the hem of the skirt was blown up by the wind, like a stretched umbrella, hanging above the ground, swaying gently with the wind.

"If you don't love heroes, don't envy arrogant and luxurious. If you live voluntarily, you will have the same bed, and if you die, you will have the same cave..."

She sang softly, and one side of her body passed directly through the wall at the end of the bamboo forest. Only the skirt left a red shadow in the darkness, like a long blood stain, and then slowly disappeared.

"ah."

Liao Caichen was frightened suddenly and screamed out, his body stumbled back two steps, and his back hit the door, alarming the people inside.

"Miss Liao, what's wrong?"

Qiu Ran pushed the door out from inside, glanced at Liao Caichen's direction that he could not move, and smiled, "Miss Liao has seen the old turtle, this yard is not good at all. There are many old turtle, and the screams sound quite cunning at night."

"Yes, it's the old man."

Liao Caichen suppressed the fear in his heart and said, but he knew very well that what he saw would never be an old man, and he would never be.
