Queen Mother: [Unreal and imaginary fairyland, enjoy the tranquility at ease.Who doesn't envy the goodness of heaven, how dare you violate the rules of heaven and abolish farming, and seduce Zhinu to move the hearts of all people. 】

Morning Glory: [It is I who will meet the weaver girl in the clouds, and persuade her to go down to earth to weave silk. 】

Zhinu: [Even if there is a sin, I will bear it...]

....................................

The actors sang, either high-pitched and sonorous, or low and quiet. The autumn-like Huangmei tune tells the love myth that has been passed down from generation to generation.It is beautiful and beautiful, and appeals to both refined and popular tastes. It moves everyone from princes and concubines to common people.

Li Ku'er ate cakes and watched the play, and got tired of sweets, and Fang came back feeling thirsty.She looked at Xiao Qu and Ah Chu, the way they sipped from the wine cups was really a heroine among women... Her eyes lingered on the long table, and it turned out that they forgot to put the teapot in front of them. lost them.It was only now that Zhinu Kongshouyunfang was sung, and there was still more than half of the performance, and my mouth was really greasy. Although eating melon could quench my thirst for a while, my mouth was still sweet and greasy. Li Kuer really didn't want to drink, so I decided Go to the back kitchen to find a pot of tea. Even if there is no tea, drinking a bowl of water is good.

"Ah Liao, let's go to the back kitchen and get a pot of tea..."

Ah Liao didn't eat much cakes, but ate a few pieces of watermelon, and now his stomach was full of water and he wasn't thirsty at all.And in comparison, she wanted to watch the theater more, the opportunity was rare, in the past, she wanted to watch the Hualing Troupe's play, but she had to save a long time for wages.

Ah Liao was hesitating here, but Xiao Qu leaned over and said enthusiastically, "Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Li Ku'er was baffled, always felt that Xiao Qu's face was treacherous.Xiao Qu got up, tugged at her sleeves and urged: "Go, go, go." As he spoke, his eyes didn't look at her, but glanced away.

Li Kuer followed her gaze, and at almost the end of the water corridor, there was a young man sitting upright, who seemed to be about the same age as them. Good looking.

Li Ku'er supported his forehead, it turned out that Xiao Qu's plan was this...

The two walked through the water corridor one after the other, Li Ku'er was in front, Xiao Qu was behind, just as they walked in front of the young man, sure enough, Xiao Qu stopped, not talking to the young man, but to the woman sitting beside him We chatted.This woman, everyone calls her Fang Sangu, who usually gives incense to the three princesses. There is a small incense shop on Dingtai Street, which specializes in small objects for women. She recognizes those who are married or have a daughter-in-law and can say a few words.As far as Li Kuer knows, the ones that Xiao Qu put on her face were bought from her shop.

Xiao Qu is also a shrewd person, at a glance he saw that the young man was brought by Fang Sangu, so it was so natural to start with Fang Sangu.

"Ah, Third Aunt Fang!"

"Oh, isn't this Xiaoqu and Kuer? Why, are you leaving so early?"

"No, Ku'er is going to get tea, I'm afraid of strangers, I accompanied her here." Xiaoqu said nonsense, then turned to cross the river and demolished the bridge: "Ku'er, you go, I'll wait here for you to come back."

Li Kuer smiled, and had pinched Xiao Qu several times in her heart, how could there be such a person? !

"Then...then I'll go first, see you later."

"Well, come back soon." Xiaoqu bit the word "quick" deliberately, and asked Third Aunt Fang: "Why are you here?"

"Hehehehe, I came to deliver incense powder to Mrs. Qing today. She told me about this good thing, so she hurried back to her mother's house and brought my younger brother."

"Is this your little brother?"

"That's him, he just went to be an apprentice with Dr. Mao a few days ago..."

Li Ku'er couldn't hear what was said later, anyway, Xiao Qu successfully established a relationship with the young man, and told her to come back later.She walked along the lakeside to the back kitchen, and the road was full of lanterns, not only dazzlingly bright, but also burning hot, especially in this weather, the evening wind is hot.

Going to Houchuhui, I passed the stage. The stage was high, as high as her house. Li Kuer looked up and watched Zhinu singing while weaving clouds. There was white smoke floating around her. I don’t know what kind of mechanism it used. , as if it were really in the sky, illusory and ethereal.Through the heavy smoke and such a distance, Li Kuer could see the actor's face clearly. It was Cheng Xiashu, the pillar of Hualing Troupe. She was so beautiful, born to play the leading role, and had a good voice.Li Kuer listened and watched, the melancholy tone and sad expression made him a little crazy, he stepped out inadvertently, slipped, as if he was stepping on something round, almost staggered and fell... Li Kuer Ku'er was frightened back to her senses. Everyone's eyes were on the stage at the moment, but they couldn't help but take her into their eyes as a little girl. She was afraid of being ugly, so it was best for no one to recognize her who made a joke. I glanced at my feet, and there was an empty snail shell the size of a three-year-old child's fist lying on its back.

Seeing the culprit clearly, Li Kuer fled away in a panic, going to fetch water first.As she ran, she wondered how many people would have seen that scene just now, and then recalled the snail shell, but she didn't know where it came from. She only swept that place in the afternoon. How could such a big thing lie in the middle of the road? Didn't find it?But if today's guests brought it by themselves and threw it there after eating, it should have been trimmed, and it couldn't be so complete.She looked back again, and the snail shell was still lying there, with a faint blue phosphorescence glowing inside the snail... Wait!shine? !Li Kuer rubbed his eyes, the phosphorescent light seemed not so clear under the surrounding lights.She wasn't sure, and didn't want to go back to check, so she let go of her doubts and went to the back kitchen.

In the back kitchen, Mama Ye is still staying behind. She is a good person and has always been kind to Li Kuer.After explaining her purpose, Ye Ma told her to go to the kitchen to pour some cold water to drink, while she took tea leaves to make tea.

Li Ku'er gulped down two glasses of cold water, and finally felt relieved. Looking at the cauldron on the stove, she thought it would be good if He Weiran was here, so she took her to the theater together.How rare is Cheng Xiashu's play.

Thinking of this, Li Ku'er decided to go back to He Weiran's room to have a look, and if she hadn't fallen asleep, she must be called out.

Ye Ma made the tea, and gave Li Kuer a tray to take it back, so as not to burn it.Li Kuer thanked Mother Ye, and took the tray to He Weiran's house.Compared with the shallow lake side, the wing room is much darker. There are only a few lanterns hanging under the eaves. Li Kuer didn't carry any lanterns, and walked with the high beams. Fortunately, he was familiar with the roads in the palace in the past. , will not go the wrong way.

He Weiran's house was lit with candles, and it was dim.Li Kuer went over, put the tray on the porch, and knocked on the door.

"Sister He, are you there?"

There were rustling sounds from inside the house, and after a while, He Weiran came to open the door.She was wearing pajamas, with a jacket over her head, and she was holding a book in her hand, probably reading on the bed.Li Ku'er glanced at the book in her hand, there were pictures and words, but the words couldn't be read clearly, the picture seemed to be an unrecognizable grass.

"I'm watching "Wild Objects". How about it, Ku'er, what did you come to see me for?" He Weiran leaned against the door and asked with a smile.

"Oh, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" is being sung in the front yard. It's the best troupe in our town, so I want to invite Sister He to watch it together."

"Watching a show..."

Seeing that He Weiran seemed to be in a dilemma, Li Kuer quickly said, "It's okay if Sister He is really tired and doesn't want to go, I came too late."

"Okay, I'll go." He Weiran actually agreed, unexpectedly: "You wait for me for a while, I'll go and change clothes."

After He Weiran changed clothes and came out, the two went to the front yard.Off the stage again, the fourth scene of "Keeping the Clouds in the Sky" has been sung, and now it is the fifth scene, "The Weaver Girl is Only a Cowherd".

He Weiran looked up at the stands, and said to Li Kuer, "Sure enough, it's a very good troupe, with such exquisite costumes and scenes."

Li Kuer was looking down at the snail shell that made her almost fall, and was going to walk around it to avoid slipping again, but after searching, the snail shell was gone, really strange.She thought that someone might have thrown her to the side of the road, so she stopped being suspicious, raised her head together with He Weiran, and responded with a few words by the way.But when he looked up, he found that the Weaver Girl had changed roles. Who didn't know, but it was definitely not Cheng Xiashu.

Li Kuer didn't understand, why did he change people temporarily?Did something happen?Just as he was wondering, he heard a middle-aged man's voice that was deliberately lowered but still unable to hide his eagerness from behind the curtain under the stage: "Oh, my ancestor, what's wrong with you?"
