"I heard from my grandfather that you really like going to the theater. Maybe I won't meet you today. Sure enough, what he said is right."

"Haha, sister-in-law, I was going home to see you and my grandfather a few days ago, but I couldn't spare the time. I'm really sorry."

Hearing this, Zhong Yaqin's face looked a little sad, but she quickly smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry about me. My father has returned to his hometown, and his father-in-law gave him a lot of money in private, which is enough for my father to enjoy his old age in his hometown.

It’s just that I won’t be able to find him much in the future.”

She was open-minded. Xu Xiuyi comforted her: "My father is a very open-minded person and will allow you to go back to your hometown to visit your relatives about once a year."

Zhong Yaqin nodded, and the gongs and drums started beating in the theater. Zhong Yaqin was surprised: "Is this the end of one performance, or is a new one starting?"

Xu Xiuyi often went to the theater in the past and was no stranger to the sound of gongs and drums. She said: "The sound of gongs and drums is after one performance, and the next one will not start immediately. In this kind of opera troupe, there are only a few actors who sing for one performance."

I’m also tired, so I need to rest for half a cup of tea before singing the next performance.”

Zhong Yaqin was relieved at first, but she couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Look at your brother, he told me to come over first and wait for a while. This attitude is just to leave me here alone."

Xu Xiuyi chuckled lightly, and the gold, jade, and silver jade were also coming out. Xu Xiuyi said goodbye to Zhong Yaqin: "Then I'll leave first."

"Don't mention it, your brother may come over sometime. He is a person who can talk about something he likes for a long time. He also stays in the study at home all day long. I guess he doesn't know how to do it for a moment.

Come here, why don't you stay with me for a while, it's my first time to watch a play in a place like this."

Zhong Yaqin's expression was a little timid. She looked into the theater and saw the dark heads, which really shocked her: "There are so many people, could there be a thief sneaking in?"

Something happened to Zhong Yaqin's family before, and Xu Xiuyi didn't go home to care about her. She always felt a little guilty for Zhong Yaqin. Now Zhong Yaqin is here alone, and begging her to stay with her for a while is not an difficult request. Xu Xiuyi took a look at the theater shed and saw that it was filled with darkness.

A group of people were sitting in a remote place, and they probably couldn't see that person.

So he nodded and told Jinyu Yinyu: "Wait for my brother here. If he comes, ask him to come in and find us."

Jinyuyinyu responded "Hey" and waited at the door.

Xu Xiuyi took Zhong Yaqin in. Zhong Yaqin was too timid and maybe had trypophobia. When she saw so many people, she looked frightened, as if she was afraid that these people would eat her. She held Xu Xiuyi's hand tightly with both hands.

Make Xu Xiuyi laugh.

If you are so afraid, then simply don’t listen.

Of course she wouldn't say it, so she took Zhong Yaqin to find a tea seat. There were only two seats left, and they were shared with others. In front of them were dark heads, but the stage was set high, so she could still see them clearly.

The sign for the next drama has been put up, it's called The Immortal Pairing, but I don't know if it's the same play as Dong Yong's The Immortal Pairing of Seven Fairies.

As soon as she sat down, Zhong Yaqin listened to the people around her discussing the plot in the previous episode. She listened with great interest and pestered Xu Xiuyi to tell her what the previous episode was about.

Xu Xiuyi couldn't refuse, so she told Zhong Yaqin in detail. Just as she finished speaking, the match on the stage also started.

Sure enough, Zhong Yaqin was right. Xu Lanqing wanted to chat with someone forever, but it had been a long time and he still hadn't come.

She could only stay with Zhong Yaqin temporarily.

There were so many people, so densely packed, that person was completely submerged in the sea of ​​people, out of sight and out of mind.

The fairy couple singing on the stage is not about Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, but the plot is similar to that of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, about the love between immortals and mortals.

In the beginning, Zhong Yaqin was always on guard against bad people around her. As soon as the play started, her whole heart was drawn to it, and she watched it without even blinking. She was so focused that it was obvious that she enjoyed watching it.

Xu Xiuyi couldn't calm down in her heart. She only listened to a general idea of ​​what was being sung in the opera. Zhong Yaqin occasionally discussed a few words with her, but she didn't mean what she said. She just waited for Xu Lanqing to come and pick her up, but people were waiting around.

It has been two scenes, but Xu Lanqing is still missing.

She thought that if she waited any longer, Zhong Yaqin would become anxious if she didn't.

But Zhong Yaqin held her hand tightly and she couldn't leave.

Xu Xiuyi probably didn't know that Xu Lan actually came here early in the morning, but he just found the wrong table, caught a glimpse of An Chengshao and Wu Mo, and then left in anger.

*

He said hurtful words that day, and afterwards he always wanted to find an opportunity to explain things clearly to Wu Mo, but Wu Mo didn't have the opportunity and kept avoiding him.

He couldn't forcefully break into the Fifth Prince's Mansion, so he could only wait on the road that Wu Mo had to pass every day to go to and from the court. But who knew that Wu Mo simply didn't even go to the court and complained that he was ill at home.

He finally tried his best to climb over the wall and enter the Fifth Prince's Mansion. He gambled on Xu Lanqing's reputation and reputation and did such a dishonorable thing. After all, he met Wu Mo, but what he saw was Wu Mo and Young Master An Cheng.

Laughing and drinking, we want to talk happily.

Those eyes, expressions, movements, and sounds did nothing to hide his daughter's identity in front of Young Master An Cheng. He finally knew that it was widely rumored that Wu Mo abandoned him because he had a new love. This new love was definitely Young Master An Cheng.

He and An Chengshao became friends because of calligraphy and painting, and they were considered close friends. But now he saw that his close friend had become the new love of the woman he longed for. He immediately turned around and left, and the anger and pain in his heart still linger.

It took him these days to finally convince himself to forget about Wu Mo and his past affairs, and let him go with the wind.

He also began to treat Zhong Yaqin tenderly, wanting to put his heart into Zhong Yaqin. Today he accompanied Zhong Yaqin to the market and the theater. He didn't expect to meet Wu Mo and An Chengshao again. He didn't know what happened to him.

Sick, he just felt that the theater was so painful that he couldn't breathe. He didn't care that Zhong Yaqin was still watching the theater and waiting for him, so he rolled up his sleeves and left alone.

Now that he had walked two miles and was about to return to the Duke Protector's Mansion, he suddenly thought of Zhong Yaqin, but he really couldn't bear to ask him to go back to see that scene again.

Faced with a dilemma, he turned back and thought of waiting for Zhong Yaqin to come out at the theater door.

*

When the play came to an end, Xu Lanqing did not come back. Zhong Yaqin had previously focused all her attention on the ups and downs of the play. Now after watching the play, she suddenly felt that a long time had passed. It was almost dark. Why didn't Xu Lanqing come back?

Come on, I don’t look good.

"Look at your brother."

After all, she was not that old, so she was not that calm. She complained in front of Xu Xiuyi before anyone could see her: "He has probably forgotten about me."

Xu Xiuyi didn't know how to excuse Xu Lanqing. Xu Lanqing really went too far, causing her to spend an hour depressed in this theater shed.

"Otherwise, let's go, sister-in-law, brother may be delayed by something."

"Hey, he never pays attention to me. Even at home, he..."

Zhong Yaqin suddenly sighed with self-pity and stopped mid-sentence. The expression on her face was originally dancing, but now she felt very lonely.

Xu Xiuyi probably knew that Zhong Yaqin and Xu Lanqing were probably not in love. It was not hard to imagine how Xu Lanqing looked on the day they got married. It was obvious at a glance that Xu Lanqing was just a "matchmaker ordered by her parents".

She could only smile: "There will be a long time to come. If sister-in-law still wants to watch it, then I will accompany you. After watching it, I will take you home."

Zhong Yaqin looked at the stage, then at the door, and nodded: "Wait a little longer."

When Xu Xiuyi heard this, she wanted to bite off her tongue and do something thoughtful. Now she didn't know how much time she would spend here.

In this theater shed, she was almost out of breath.

Whenever she thought of Mr. An Cheng sitting on a table somewhere in the southeast, she felt a surge of unhappiness in her heart.

It happened that she was "caring" first, but now she could only stay with him for a while.

*

Xu Lanqing heard that a play had ended, and a few people came out sporadically, but Xu Xiuyi and Zhong Yaqin were not seen.

He didn't want to go in and take a look, but the eldest lady of the Su family asked the Su family's grandma to move away and move things. She didn't come back yet, so he could only continue to wait at the door.

After waiting for a while, someone came out again. He looked up and saw that it was An Chengshao and Wu Mo who came out with two followers, talking and laughing.

To be precise, Wu Mo was talking and laughing, while An Chengshao listened with a calm expression.

Seeing Xu Lanqing at the door, Wu Mo's joking stopped abruptly. She never thought that she would see him here after avoiding him everywhere.

Thinking of what Xu Lanqing said that day, her heart felt like a piece of straw. She felt uncomfortable and her nose was sore. However, she hid her tears very well, nodded to Xu Lanqing, smiled distantly, and then turned her head and smiled sweetly.

He looked at Mr. An Cheng: "I'm hungry, what should I eat?"

Xu Lanqing only felt that it was extremely harsh. He had to suppress a huge impulse to not grab Wu Mo's hand in front of everyone and ask her what she meant.

Yes, what did she mean? One moment she made him think that she loved him very much, and the other moment she made him think that she was wanton.

Looking at Mr. An Cheng, he was filled with jealousy.

An Chengshao is so handsome that any woman will be fascinated by him.

An Chengshao was both talented in both civil and military affairs, and his knowledge and knowledge were not inferior to Xu Lanqing's. He had even traveled extensively over the years, and his horizons were even broader than his.

Thinking of this, he was tormented by jealousy and going crazy.

But Wu Mo was still provoking him recklessly, so she grabbed An Chengshao's hand.

"I am so hungry."

An Chengshao's eyes originally fell on a petite figure in the corner of the room, and he did not see Xu Lanqing. Now when Wu Mo pulled him away, he withdrew his gaze, frowned slightly, and caught a glimpse of Xu Lanqing from the corner of his eye.

.

He didn't give Wu Mo face, and he didn't want to play this scene with Wu Mo.

Withdrawing his hand, he said indifferently: "If you are hungry, go and eat. I'm leaving."

Wu Mo looked at the uncooperative An Chengshao angrily. In order to make Xu Lanqing give up, she did such coquettish behavior that even made her feel disgusted, but it was only because An Chengshao was so disrespectful.

Xu Lanqing was also startled, but her heart ached even more after being startled. Will she always be used to being so disrespectful?

When he hated her so much, she tried every means to get him.

Now that Mr. An Cheng hates her so much, will she still use the same methods she used against him to get Mr. An Cheng?

Thinking that Wu Mo had turned all his feelings towards An Chengshao, his heart that was on the verge of jealousy and madness could no longer be suppressed. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Wu Mo, and then almost dragged him

Keep moving forward.
