Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

As long as Xia Yingying doesn't leave, he can do anything.

Xia Yingying felt very sad when she saw Liu Qingyao like this.

If grandma was still alive, Xia Yingying would definitely go back no matter what happened. But grandma is gone now. There is nothing worth missing in that world, and her body has been destroyed. What is there to do in going back? Become a wandering ghost?

But she understood Liu Qingyao's feelings.

Originally, Liu Qingyao saw that hope was extinguished, but now it was suddenly lit up again by Xia Yingying.

"I live in the General's Mansion now. If you don't want to stay here, you can come back with me. I have opened a pastry shop now and you can work in it."

Although opera is considered a relatively elegant art form in modern times, no one discriminates against artists there, and some people even want to become cultural inheritors. However, this is not the case in Daliang. People who study opera are generally considered to be of the lowest class, and some people can even insult and curse them at will.

Xia Yingying was worried that Liu Qingyao, a little girl, would stay in the opera class, fearing that something might happen to her, especially some greasy old men.

Liu Qingyao knew what Xia Yingying was worried about, so she said.

“Yingying, don’t worry, the work here doesn’t require us to go out for social events, it’s just singing.

Besides, opera is also my specialty. Here I can learn some opera singing methods of this dynasty. If I have the opportunity to go back, I can integrate it with modern times. I will definitely become the inheritor of another type of opera.”

Liu Qingyao said half jokingly and half seriously.

Liu Qingyao's family originally performed opera, and their opera has been passed down to her generation for more than ten generations.

And she is the only woman in the family.

So naturally, her family's expectations of her are the highest.

Now there is such an opportunity to learn in another space, a completely different technique and singing style, Liu Qingyao is very happy. How can she let this opportunity go.

Besides, she was the only one who was most familiar with the opera The Peony Pavilion, and she also tried to perform it in her own way and field.

At the same time, she also hopes that this opera can shock the people here as it did in the previous dynasty, which will not disappoint her studies here and the collision of ideas in modern life.

When Xia Yingying heard Liu Qingyao say this, she gave up the idea of ​​bringing Liu Qingyao to work in the pastry shop.

"You stay here, but if you need help with anything, send someone to the general's mansion down below to find me. I'll come right away when I get the message."

"Yes. Okay." Liu Qingyao nodded. Xia Yingying was still worried, so she took out a jade pendant that could prove her identity and gave it to Liu Qingyao as a token of trust.

After Xia Yingying and Liu Qingyao had an agreement, Xia Yingying agreed not to separate from Liu Qingyao.

At this time, Lu Ziren was sitting in the pavilion in the yard.

Although it is already the first month of the year, the weather is still very cold.

Lu Ziren was not wearing much clothes, so Xia Yingying felt cold when she looked at him. But when she got closer to him, she realized that he was not cold at all. His body was as warm as a hot water bottle.

But Xia Yingying felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Ziren waiting for a while.

"Lu Ziren, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. She's my fellow villager. We're from the same place, so it's inevitable that we talked a little more. I'm really sorry." Xia Yingying apologized to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren raised his eyebrows, then shook his head. He said solemnly, "Yingying, there is no need for us to apologize. I know there are some things you cannot say. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"Thank you, Lu Ziren." Seeing Lu Ziren like this, Xia Yingying was deeply moved and immediately thanked Lu Ziren.

Originally, Lu Ziren still had some reservations in his heart, worrying that Xia Yingying would leave with her fellow villagers, but now that Xia Yingying had said she wanted to stay, he had nothing to worry about.

If Lu Ziren didn't worry about scaring Xia Yingying, he would have wanted to hug Xia Yingying and kiss her hard right away.

Lu Ziren just thought so and did it naturally.

Lu Ziren hugged Xia Yingying's waist from behind and turned her over so that her face was facing Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren's hand moved from Xia Yingying's waist to Xia Yingying's face.

Then he put his head close to Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying could clearly smell the fragrant soapberry scent on Lu Ziren's body.

Xia Yingying was still immersed in Lu Ziren's kiss just now, and her head was buzzing.

Lu Ziren, are you kissing her?

Xia Yingying was stunned, her whole body was like a wooden chicken.

Seeing Xia Yingying stunned, Lu Ziren couldn't help but pinch the two soft and tender pieces of flesh on Xia Yingying's cheeks.

Xia Yingying's skin was so soft and fair that Lu Ziren's hand only touched Xia Yingying's face lightly, leaving a very conspicuous red mark.

Looking at the marks on Xia Yingying's face, Lu Ziren felt embarrassed for a moment.

Xia Yingying didn't feel anything, but just felt her face was hot.

"It's getting late, let's go back. If you're worried about your friend, then we can come back tomorrow." Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying was kind-hearted and would definitely be worried about her fellow villager from the same place as her.

"Okay." Xia Yingying agreed naturally. "By the way, did you like the Peony Pavilion that Yaoyao just sang?"

"I like it. I like the feeling that comes from nowhere and is deep and lasting." Lu Ziren remembered it when he heard this explanation.

It turns out that love can be so pure and so romantic.

"If I become a lonely soul like Du Liniang, will you always miss me?"

Xia Yingying didn't know what was going on with her. As if her brain had suddenly gone blank, she asked Lu Ziren this question.

"Yes, I will go to the underworld with you."

Lu Ziren held Xia Yingying's hand tightly and said solemnly.

Xia Yingying's heart trembled after hearing this. She could feel that Lu Ziren liked her.

Xia Yingying also felt that Lu Ziren was a person worthy of entrusting her life to, and was willing to spend an ordinary life with him like this, but she was not sure whether this was a kind of love between a man and a woman.

"Don't say that. It's New Year's Day, and it's not nice to say that."

Xia Yingying put her hand on Lu Ziren's lips, fearing that he would say something else that Xia Yingying would find unlucky and "undeserving".

"Don't take oaths seriously. If you really want to show that you're good to me, just help me with more work and give me more money in the future."

Xia Yingying thought about it and said this.

Although this may be a bit of a downer, it is indeed quite practical. Love and affection and other things are really too luxurious. Xia Yingying is not sure whether she has the ability to enjoy them.

"Okay, in addition to the monthly stipend, I also let Uncle Lin do business outside. Basically, he runs a martial arts school and escort business. In the beginning, the business was up and down every month, but now it has established a reputation and stabilized. Uncle Lin uses the monthly income to buy some property and land. If you want to manage it, I will let Uncle Lin hand it over to you."

Lu Ziren emptied out all his family assets. Xia Yingying didn't care about how much Lu Ziren was worth. She was just curious about what Lu Ziren's brain was like and how he could think so quickly.

She still has to run her business herself, and Lu Ziren, in addition to his fixed income, also receives another payment every month.

She underestimated Lu Ziren! Xia Yingying couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "Please vote"
