Seeing that there was still some time before the inner house was locked, Xu Xuan pulled Hu Sheng out, and asked with great interest in the octagonal glazed pavilion: "You are also from the door, you said that Qin Yan sang a 'dream' that day, I think Baozhu Aizhu is also one of the best in our house, which one sings well?" ”

Hu Sheng glanced at a few maids, scratched his head and said: "The small drama is about expression, and the appearance of the sisters is almost the same. I remember that Qin Yan was still a little sandwiched in the first time, and it was slightly better in the second time. ”

"That's her first lesson." Xu Xuan put his hands behind his back, "Baozhu Aizhu has been singing for three or four years, and he is naturally very familiar." In my opinion, her appearance is still Qin Yan, she looks like she has fairy bones on her body, which seems to be different from ordinary people. ”

He talked to himself, Hu Sheng was caught in it and didn't want to offend people, so he could only lower his head and dare not agree.

Huazhu fanned the wind while watching the two talk, absent-mindedly, suddenly the fan took off his hand and fell to the ground, Baozhu sneered, Huazhu hurriedly squatted down and picked it up.

Xu Xuan reacted that they were unhappy and said, "You probably didn't hear the play, right?" I've heard that a lot of people don't even have their hearts when they hear it. One day I called in and sang for a day, and asked my mother and wife to listen. ”

"What a good team?" Aizhu pouted and said, "Is it better than the Zhu family's troupe?" ”

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't you all set up the Liyuan Society?" I heard that there are eight people, and when the time comes, they will ask you to pretend to be students, and they will play together, and you will know the benefits of others. ”

"We're not going to string it." Aizhu was even more unhappy, "If you want to play with someone else, they are also worthy?" After saying that, he staggered away, and the others also dispersed.

Xu Xuan said speechlessly: "What is the big deal about the common things in the strings?" ”

Hu Sheng covered his mouth and snickered, stood with him for a while, and saw that the young master had nothing to say, so he went out.

It's tomorrow morning. Xu Xuan got up early, washed his face, and the close-fitting big girl Mingzhu combed his hair and put on his clothes.

First go to Huchun Hall to ask Mu Ningxue for peace, because Xu Xuan is from Zhiqing, and his status is no less than that of his grandson. After a few words of gossip, he returned to his mother's house, Zhiqing swept his eyebrows lightly, and was applying fat powder, and he told the drama he watched that day. said that the Zhu family's drama troupe is not as good as ours, how good is Qin Yan and so on.

When Zhiqing heard this, she was a little unhappy in her heart, her son didn't like to read but liked to sing, so she was naturally not happy as a mother. Interestingly, I also know that my son's temperament is very eccentric, although he is not social with his siblings, but he also likes to mess around with women.

Zhiqing thought that her son was like his father, and she carefully selected beautiful women such as flowers, jewelry, beads and other beauties for him, and intended to ask her son to accept them. I don't want Xu Xuan to want to, at a young age, I actually said that once I became a concubine, it would be boring, and I would choose a few good people to match them in the future. Isn't that a very meritorious deed?

Of course, Xu Xuan is still young now, so he can't do it accurately, but Zhiqing did find that her son treats girls very well, but it is precisely because of this temperament. is far less gentle and considerate than Xu Yu, who can speak, and his popularity is high.

asked her son to invite her to sing, and Zhiqing casually agreed. Habitually, he didn't think about anything else, and seeing that the hour was not early, he sent someone to send him to school.

After school, Hu Sheng asked Master Xia to wait for him in the study, and as soon as Xu Xuan came in, he said: "How much effort did I put into letting Baozhu and them form a class, I thought I could overwhelm the outside, but who knows that I was overwhelmed by the outside." Master Xia, have you ever heard of the drama of Dongfu? ”

When Master Xia heard this, he catered to it: "I've seen it, if the young master wants to overwhelm the outside, it's not difficult. As the saying goes, there are not many good flowers, choose the best ones and buy a few to come in, and you're good to go. He also said: "Since the young master likes Qin Yan, why don't you beg the master and ask someone to come over." ”

Xu Xuan said: "People are loved by uncles, how can they open their mouths? ”

"It's just a play, who is the family?" Master Xia disagreed, "Besides, the troupe spends most of their time singing outside, and the old man never asks them to come into the house to serve." Illustrious! Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope. Qin Yan's master is Changqing, and his favorite thing in his life is money, if he hears that the young master wants someone, he will send it to the door very stubbornly. ”

"This." Xu Xuan hesitated, firstly because of his uncle Xu Wen, and secondly because of his father, but he couldn't stand the encouragement of Master Xia, and said: "Then you go and ask, see if it is feasible, if you don't want to do it, it's okay." ”

That night, Master Xia was ordered to go to Dongfu to find Changqing, the master of the opera troupe, and asked how Qin Yan was doing, Changqing said: "This kid is good, and he is also smart. The day before yesterday, the second old lady sang in the garden, and the gold and silver rewarded were worth seven hundred dollars, and the third young master also gave her the jade in his purse, which was red in this jade yellow, and I didn't understand, so I asked Ha Huizi of Degu Zhai, and he said that it was worth at least two hundred taels. Master, look at it, it's not that this child is likable, why do so many people love her? ”

Master Xia smiled: "I will discuss this matter with you today." The third young master listened to her 'dream', and he loved it so much, he went back and praised it for a few days, meaning that he wanted her to enter the garden, I don't know if you are reluctant to give up? ”

Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "Master, it's not that I'm not being promoted, it's really pitiful. She bought it during the Chinese New Year, she can teach everything as soon as she is taught, and her appearance is good, and there are several famous female actors in Jinling, no one can compare with her. Guess how much you have earned in the past six months? ”

Saying that, Changqing stretched out five fingers, "There are so many." You know that although our opera troupe is raised in the house, the expenses are earned by our singing, you see that my family has more than 20 people, large and small, and now it all depends on her. If she enters the garden, she will be fine, and I will suffer, besides, I am only twelve years old, and there are still five years before I leave the school, I am afraid that I will not earn tens of thousands of silver for me? How do you tell me to give up? ”

"Tens of thousands of silver?" Master Xia was very envious, and secretly said that if it was a few thousand taels, maybe the young master could take it out by gritting his teeth, tens of thousands were impossible no matter what, but Changqing was not afraid that the head of the family would oppress people, who would let him still have a master.

Changqing pointed to Hu Sheng who came with him and said: "Qin Yan is not as good as his senior sister, in the past, his senior sister had a bad temperament and often came to scold me, so I changed her to Xiufang in the Changchun class, and Xiufang got five thousand taels when she came out of the school, everyone knows it." Now Qin Yan is several times stronger than Xiufang, so I beg the master to tell Gongzi that Changqing now has such a good apprentice left, and he has to rely on her to live for the rest of his life, and the rest of the children are useless. ”

Master Xia was just about to speak, Hu Sheng said with a smile: "Master, don't forget the biological mother of the third young master, except for the lady in the inner house, she is the old man." People can't find a way out if they want to tie up with the third young master, and he took the initiative to come to you this time, which is your creation. You said that you have been tossing and turning outside all your life, and the money you earn is left hand in and right hand out, what do you want? It's better to follow the past, whether you will be a deacon in the future, or you will get an official rank of seven or eight grades, isn't it better than eating this drama? ”

"Hu Sheng said it well." Master Xia immediately said: "Don't just worry about money, Qin Yan will be favored when you go in, can you be miserable?" Hengzhu will eventually become a teacher in the future, not to mention a twelve-year-old child, who is not stable and has no change, and when he starts, he will change when he says that he has become bad, what can you do? Didn't you lose thousands of pieces of silver in vain? I advise you to think carefully, what do we have to discuss, and we will never let you be wronged. ”

While listening, Changqing smoked a cigarette pouch and pot, and said with a smile: "The words are right, let's discuss it again, I also have to ask her if she is willing." ”

"Lao Qing, we don't talk darkly." Master Xia, who came prepared, stretched out his hand, snatched the cigarette pouch and pot, took a puff himself, and said slowly: "Who doesn't know your temper of Qin Yan?" Except for the eldest master, who else dares to like her? Which one is she willing to socialize with? If you offend the third young master this time. ”

Speaking of this, he sneered, "I'm afraid I can't find a wronged leader in the world, right?" At that time, you still wanted to rely on her for the rest of your life? She's going to rely on you for the rest of her life. By the way, don't you really know what's going on with her? People say that when they see Young Master Run, they laugh, when they don't see it, they are annoyed, and when they say it, they cry, everyone hates her, do you really not know? It's just that you don't want to say it, who does Young Master Run and Third Young Master rely on, you can weigh it yourself. ”

It turned out that Changqing privately thought that Qin Yan had a bad temperament, and he fell in love with Xu Hao of Xu Hao's generation at a young age, and said for a long time: "Since you know, I can't argue, in a word, no matter what she does, I have to rely on her to support, if I lose money, I will never do it." ”

Master Xia glanced at the Hu family, and the Hu family pulled Changqing to the window and said in a low voice: "Master, you should make a price, can you wait for Master Xia to go back and say." ”

Changqing thought about the money in the house over there, how much he wanted, of course, he couldn't open his mouth under the door, at least five or six thousand silver could be in his hands, right? Yi said: "You know that she has earned thousands of taels in half a year, and it is difficult for me to open my mouth for five years, so I can ask the third young master to consider it himself." ”

Hu Sheng told Master Xia in the past, and Master Xia shook his head and said: "A female doll, even if she looks top-notch, dare to ask for tens of thousands of silver when she is sent to the inner house?" I can give it, I'm afraid you won't dare to take it! If you want me to say four or five thousand, it's okay. ”

Hu Sheng said: "That's just the number, other famous actors are only one or two thousand at most in Jinling, which is more than twice as much." ”

Changqing just shook his head and said, "If you say that, I will never be able to obey orders." She has only been here for half a year, no matter how much money she has, I really can't bear her. I bought the person, and the master couldn't force her, anyway, I didn't want to send her away. As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands and looked like he was crying.

Master Xia, who was looking at him coldly, thought in his heart: "This guy is extremely slippery, according to the value he quoted, how can I speak to the third young master?" Previously, I stayed in the Xu Mansion because I was greedy for ink and silver, but this time, even if the third young master was not suspicious, others would suspect me of cheating. What a bastard, if you don't use words to press him, you can't do it. ”

So Master Xia stood up with an angry face and sneered: "Very good! Just wait for you to make a fortune, I Xia someone has the heart to take care of it, but you don't know what to do. It's just a few days, and if you send someone to the door by yourself, it will be worthless? ”

After speaking, he walked away with a sneer. (To be continued......)
