The old woman's throat moved, she turned her head instantly, and said loudly, "Girls, come here!"

Chapter 32

Ewha Garden.

Several women stood behind the old woman, looking curiously at the young man sitting at the table, but none of them stood up.

This young master was generous, but there were conditions.

He doesn't listen to the songs in the building, but wants to teach them to sing, and then let them sing to him. Although this kind of thing has never happened before, as long as there is more money, it is not impossible for everyone to sing.

The problem is, how can a normal person make such a strange request? They are all worried that the handsome young man in front of them will plot against them and will do some frivolous things at that time.

Although he was handsome, they were all innocent people, different from those women in brothels who entertained people with sex.

There was a long silence in the field before a woman stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

Lin Xiu noticed that she was the girl who sang the song just now. Although she had heavy drama makeup on her face, judging from the shape of her face and eyebrows, she should also be a beauty.

After the woman stood up, someone beside her immediately grabbed her and persuaded her, "Caiyi, you should think about it, how can this money be so easy to earn..."

The woman named Caiyi smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, just learning to sing a new song, don't worry."

Afterwards, he gave Lin Xiuying a salute, and said, "My lord, please follow me."

The first floor of Lihuayuan is the lobby, and there are guests listening to operas here. If she sings for Lin Xiu alone, naturally she can't choose this place. There is a special Accord in the building, which is prepared for the guests to order individually.

Lin Xiu followed her up to the second floor, walked into an elegant compartment, and suddenly asked, "Miss, aren't you afraid that I'm plotting something wrong?"

Of course he could see the concerns of those girls. They regarded him as a dandy who came to hunt for beauty, so no one agreed.

The girl in Caiyi smiled lightly, and said: "Others can, but you can't."

Lin Xiu was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"

Although he was upright, he did not write the word "good guy" on his face.

The girl in Caiyi said: "That day when the Qing officials tried the case, Caiyi was watching from outside. The young master is not afraid of power, and he is high-spirited and upright, which Caiyi admires very much."

Lin Xiu suddenly realized, and then she just smiled and said, "In that case, let's start."

Lin Xiu first hummed a short tune. He thought that she would need to hum it a few times before she could learn it. Unexpectedly, after only listening to him hum it once, this girl named Caiyi could play it accurately with the guzheng. Come.

Lin Xiu thought in her heart that she is indeed a professional, and the few taels of money are worth it.

Lingyin's evaluation of him is that he is thrifty. In fact, he has misunderstood Lin Xiu. He spends money very casually. He never asks whether it is expensive or not. He only cares about whether it is worth it. , You can also listen to music for a few taels of silver here, it all depends on your mood.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiu looked at Caiyi and asked, "Have you remembered the lyrics?"

Caiyi nodded and said, "Remember."

Just now this young master gave her a new piece of lyrics and music, some of the tunes are not even in the fifth tone, and the singing style is completely different from the mainstream ones, it is a kind of partial singing style that she has never heard before, Caiyi doesn't know why this young master It doesn't matter if she is asked to sing like this, the important thing is that the guest pays the money, and they have to meet the guest's request.

She cleared her throat, and asked tentatively, "My lord, shall I start?"

Lin Xiu nodded slightly.

Not long after, a melodious opera voice rang in Lin Xiu's ears.

"The people under the stage walked by, but the old color was not seen.

The people on the stage are singing, the heartbreaking farewell song

Love is hard to write

He sang about the need for blood to reconcile..."

After the song, Lin Xiu opened his eyes and exhaled lightly. He finally found that feeling.

This was the feeling that Lin Xiu wanted, and it was also the feeling that she lacked in the repertoire for him just now.

It is undoubtedly a great comfort to his heart to be able to hear familiar music in this strange world.

The loneliness in Lin Xiu's heart was gradually dispelled in this song "Red Ling". He cupped his hands at the woman in front of him and said, "Thank you, Miss Caiyi."

The girl in Caiyi smiled and said: "Young master, you are polite, this is what Caiyi should do."

Lin Xiu stood up and said, "I still have important things to do today, so I'll come to listen to the girl's song another day."

Caiyi bowed and smiled, "Master, go slowly."

It wasn't until Lin Xiu left the Pear Blossom Garden that a trace of curiosity appeared on her face. She had never heard of this unorthodox song before, and it seemed to be created by this young man. She could see that this song was right For him, it seems to have some kind of unique meaning.

But the lyrics clearly refer to their actors.

For a moment, Caiyi felt boundless curiosity about this young master.

……

After today, apart from cultivating with Lingyin and going to the palace to make ice, Lin Xiu has one more thing to do.

Listen to music in the theater.

There are not many entertainment methods in this world, and Lin Xiu is not very interested in others, but she has a special liking for listening to music. When she came to Lihuayuan for the second time, Caiyi was not there, so Lin Xiu just ordered another a girl.

However, to his disappointment, the girl's sense of music was obviously not as accurate as Cai Yi's. Lin Xiu taught her several times, but she still lost her tune frequently.

In desperation, Lin Xiu had to change another person.

Although the new girl had a good sense of music, she couldn't sing like Lin Xiuyao. At this moment, Lin Xiucai realized that the voice of the girl in Caiyi seemed to be able to go straight to the soul, and had a quality that no other actor could replace. .

Twice in a row, the girl in Caiyi was not there. When Lin Xiu came again, she directly asked the class leader of Lihuayuan, that is, the old woman, "Excuse me, where did the girl in Caiyi go?"

The head teacher sighed and said, "Caiyi is sick."

"Ill?" Lin Xiu asked, "Is it serious?"

The head teacher sighed again and said, "I've been bedridden for several days..."

Lin Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Can I go and see her?"

The old woman looked at Lin Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "My lord, please come with me."

A moment later, in a deep alley near Lihuayuan, the team leader of Lihuayuan pushed open the door of a yard and said to Lin Xiu, "This is it."

There were several boys and girls aged twelve or thirteen in the yard, some were practicing their singing, some were doing somersaults, they were probably from the Ewha Opera troupe, the troupe leader led Lin Xiu to a room inside, and just as he walked to the door, he heard There was a coughing sound.

Lin Xiu walked into the room, a woman lying on the bed saw him, struggled to get up, and said in embarrassment: "Master, why are you here..."

At this moment, she was not wearing any makeup, her face was facing the sky, and her black hair like a waterfall was casually draped over her shoulders. Her appearance was similar to what Lin Xiu had guessed. She was also extremely beautiful, with dark eyebrows and black silk, almond eyes and a bright nose, but her face and lips were a little pale, which made her She added a bit of softness and pathos.

Seeing her sitting up with her body propped up, Lin Xiu hurriedly said: "Girl Caiyi doesn't need to get up. I went to the theater to look for you these few days, but you weren't there. The troupe master said you were sick, so I came to see you."

Caiyi apologized, "Young master missed me."

Lin Xiu asked, "Have you seen the doctor?"

The class leader said: "I've seen it a long time ago, but after taking a few doses of medicine, it doesn't feel better at all."

Although Lin Xiu and Miss Caiyi didn't have a deep friendship, only her singing could soothe the loneliness and loneliness that appeared in his heart from time to time, and he couldn't watch her continue to be sick.

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "I have a friend who is the imperial physician in the palace. I'll ask her to come and take a look for you. She should recover soon."

Caiyi hurriedly said: "Caiyi is an actress, how dare she bother the imperial physician..."

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, "She's very nice, she's fine, you rest first, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After that, he turned and left.

In the room, the class leader looked at Caiyi, and said with a half-smile: "You have been sick for the past few days, this young master has been looking for you several times, and even invited the imperial doctor to treat you, probably because he has his eyes on you..."

A blush appeared on Caiyi's pale face, and she said: "Master, don't talk nonsense, you may just like listening to my singing."

The head teacher smiled and said, "That's not sure..."

……

At the gate of the palace, Lin Xiu showed her badge and entered the front palace.

The imperial doctor friend he was talking about was naturally Miss Shuangshuang. This time I went to the imperial hospital to find her, firstly for Caiyi, and secondly, to enhance friendship with Miss Shuangshuang.

Lin Xiu was really eager for her ability.

In this world, who doesn't have a headache, brain fever, fever, and cold, even if it is not for others, it is necessary to acquire this ability for yourself and your family.

After arriving at the Grand Hospital, Lin Xiu found that there was no one on duty at the door, so she went in directly. She wanted to find someone to ask if Miss Shuangshuang was there, but she didn't expect to hear a familiar voice before she stepped into the gate of the Grand Hospital.

"In such a big imperial hospital, with so many imperial physicians, there isn't even one who can cure my daughter. Tell me, what's the use of the imperial court supporting you!"

In the imperial hospital, more than a dozen imperial doctors stood in a row, looking down at their own toes, not daring to breathe. The graceful and luxurious imperial concubine's effeminate chest heaved and swayed, and the steps on her head wobbled.

Lin Xiu had already stepped into the gate of the Imperial Hospital with one foot, thinking in her heart that the imperial concubine was actually here, and she seemed to be angry. Now the timing is not right, it is better to withdraw first.

Unexpectedly, Yu Guang, an imperial physician, saw someone coming in, and couldn't help but look up at the door.

It's okay not to look, when he raised his head, the imperial concubine noticed his actions, turned her head subconsciously, and then she was overjoyed, and said, "Lin Xiu, you came just in time, come and see how my daughter is doing. It's..."

Chapter 33

Wanting to escape, but being seen by the imperial concubine, Lin Xiu felt dizzy for a while, but the matter has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and go on.

He walked into the courtyard, first bowed to the imperial concubine, and said, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine waved her hand and said, "Excuse me, please see what's wrong with my daughter..."

The imperial concubine really cared about her pet beast, so she did not hesitate to come to the Imperial Hospital in person. Lin Xiu sighed secretly, walked up to the girl Shuangshuang who was holding the pet beast, and asked, "What happened to your empress' pet beast?"

Miss Shuangshuang sighed softly, and said: "I don't know what's wrong, since yesterday, it doesn't eat or drink, and it doesn't have any energy, but I checked it, and there is no wound on its body, and there is no problem in its body. Know what to do..."

It is really difficult for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat animals. Lin Xiu stretched out her hands and said, "Let me take a look."

Girl Shuangshuang carefully handed the beast into Lin Xiu's arms, and then put all her attention on Lin Xiu. She wanted to see how Lin Xiu diagnosed and treated it.

Lin Xiu held the pet beast in her arms, and found that it was motionless, and there was no brilliance in its jewel-like eyes, which was obviously abnormal.

Lin Xiu stretched out a finger and gently touched its nose.

The little guy didn't even look at him, and said weakly: "Don't touch this princess, this princess is annoying!"

Of course, to the ears of the imperial concubine and the imperial doctors, it was nothing more than a few "meow meow".

Lin Xiu continued to tease it. Although he could understand the little guy's words, it couldn't understand Lin Xiu's words. Only by letting him speak a few more words could Lin Xiu know what was wrong with him.

"so boring!"

"This princess is about to be smothered to death..."

"Who will save me, I don't want to stay in this place..."

……

"Meow……"

"Meow meow……"

"Meow meow meow……"

Everyone only saw that under Lin Xiu's constant teasing, the imperial concubine's pet beast kept whining, and the imperial concubine's heart was almost broken, but out of her trust in Lin Xiu, she still endured it until now. He stopped and said, "How is it, do you see what's coming?"

Lin Xiu stopped teasing, he already got everything he wanted to know.

Everyone is envious of the concubines in the palace, but if they are really allowed to live in the deep palace for several years or even decades, I am afraid that few people can bear it.

In the palaces of the emperors of all dynasties, many concubines died in depression like this.

As with humans, so with animals.

Lin Xiu had seen a lot of similar news before. Many animals in the zoo suddenly became listless, inactive, loss of appetite, even grumpy, circling around a fixed route, etc...

This is actually a sign of depression.

Obviously, the imperial concubine's pet beast was also depressed.

Last time, Lin Xiu learned that it was captured from its habitat and brought to the capital. When it left its parents, relatives, and companions, it also lost its freedom. It was trapped in a small palace, and it was closely related to the animals in the zoo. Whatever the difference, symptoms of depression are inevitable.

Lin Xiu looked at the imperial concubine and said, "Go back to the imperial concubine, the student has already found the cause of the spiritual pet."

A look of joy appeared on the face of the imperial concubine, and she said, "Really, what's wrong with my daughter?"

Lin Xiudao: "Your Majesty's pet beast is depressed."

The noble concubine frowned, apparently not understanding, and asked, "What is...depression?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while, and explained: "Mother Hui, this spirit beast was caught from the place where it was born to a strange place, and the place where it can usually move around is just a piece of sky in the Changchun Palace. Difficult to overcome, the specific manifestations are not eating or drinking, listless, not active, until death..."
