How to break into Liaozhai

The carriage stopped in front of a rich mansion, and there were red lanterns hanging at the door, illuminating the ground bright red.

A few of them got out of the carriage, and their bodies were also dyed the colors of luxury and gold.

Wang Rui looked up and saw the big gilt characters: Lu Mansion.

At this time, a sickly man got out of the front carriage. He was dressed in fine clothes and had a majestic demeanor. He was by no means from an ordinary background.

He said to Luo Huiqing and Wang Rui in a weak voice: "We're here, go in, cough, cough!"

"Eunuch Sun——" At this time, a rich middle-aged man walked down the steps of Tai's mansion quickly, and called this, full of concern: "Please ask people in our mansion to do things like this, why? Can I let you go in person?"

Eunuch Sun was the local eunuch guarding Jinling, with considerable power, and no local officials dared to offend him.

Eunuch Sun waved his hand: "Master Lu, quickly bring the man in."

Although Lu Shilang didn't recognize Luo Huiqing, he was pretty like a woman, and this was the only one: "You are Lu Qing, follow me in quickly, the honored guests are waiting." Looking at Wang Rui and the others worriedly: " These people are..."

Eunuch Sun coughed a few times at the handkerchief: "They are friends of Lu Qing, our family invites them to the banquet, just set up an extra table."

Lu Shilang nodded, and said to the left and right: "Take these young masters down, so that they can be resettled."

Then a man who looked like a servant came to them and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come with me."

Wei Xingxian saw that Luo Huiqing was going to be led to another place alone: ​​"Where is he going?"

Eunuch Sun smiled and said: "Of course he is going to put on makeup, ready to go on stage." He smiled to Luo Huiqing: "With you, I have only been out of school for a few days, and I have found a young lover."

Luo Huiqing rarely showed an angry expression: "Don't tarnish Brother Wei's reputation like this."

Eunuch Sun was stunned for a moment: "Hehe, the rabbit is about to bite, okay, let's go down and get down to business, our family is not interested in your things." He turned around and was supported by the eunuch, and went into the mansion.

Luo Huiqing said to Wei Xingxian: "...I'm fine, don't worry." After speaking, the people from the Lu Mansion took her to another direction.

Wei Xingxian looked back at Luo Huiqing's back three times a step at a time, showing too much concern, Huo Ke and Ma Xiao looked at each other, raised eyebrows, tacit understanding.

Wang Rui was really trembling in the early years, afraid of this and that, but ever since he was with He Yunyi, to put it bluntly, he was not afraid of a comet hitting the earth.

So at this moment, without the restraint of the Huo family brothers and the sullenness of Wei Xingxian, he leisurely visited the mansion of the senior official's family.

When I came to a large courtyard, there were lanterns and torches hanging around, making the place look like daylight.

In the room at the end of the compound, the sound of a woman playing the piano and singing came out, ethereal and distant.

They were led into the room where the singing was heard, and they saw that there were several tables in front of them, and each table was filled with men who were either rich or expensive.

They were arranged on a table in the farthest corner, ten feet away from the chairman's seat.

Wang Rui hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If I go to high school in the future, will I have to often attend such noisy banquets and be with middle-aged greasy officials? Brother-in-law, can you do it?"

Huo Huan said: "Don't be afraid, even if you pass the exam, no one will invite you to the banquet even if you are a small Hanlin. When I survive and qualify, I will be middle-aged."

Wang Rui said with emotion: "So, what's the point of imperial examinations? It's better to cultivate immortals."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yunyi hugged his neck, put his face close to him and asked with a smile, "Do you still have the face to say such a thing?"

Wei Xingxian's heart was up and down, watching Wang Rui and the others frolicking, he didn't know why, let alone the taste.

Ma Xiao and Huo Ke whispered to each other: "We are lucky, maybe we will never see so many high-ranking officials in this life."

Huo Huan glanced at the others, and suddenly, he found Zhang Shurong, who was sitting a few tables away from him, because he was sitting with his back facing him, so he didn't notice him.

Oh, what a bad luck.

Wang Rui leaned on He Yunyi's shoulder and listened to the singing in front of him, the more he heard it, the more familiar it became: "Mmm..."

He Yunyi also noticed the situation, and with a shake of his shoulders, Wang Rui sat up straight: "The bond between you is quite deep, hmph!"

Wang Rui also couldn't figure it out, why did he meet Shen Weiniang again, he is not in the book of life and death in this world, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have fetters with anyone, why did he meet Shen Weiniang again and again.

Suddenly, he understood that the reason why he met Shen Weiniang was because of Wei Xingxian!

Shen Weiniang was destined to have a tragic relationship with the Wei family. At this moment, she was drawn towards Wei Xingxian by fate.

Shen Weiniang didn't come for him, but for Wei Xingxian.

After Wang Rui whispered his conjecture to He Yunyi, he asked, "Is there no way to undo the arrangement of fate?"

He Yun said: "It is normal for Weizhi County to repay the children for their crimes. However, I am willing to teleport Shen Weiniang to the ends of the earth to ensure that she will never return to the Central Plains. What do you think?"

Wang Rui smacked his lips: "Let's forget it. I believe that although Shen Weiniang is drawn by fate, after being reminded by you, she will be afraid of people surnamed Wei in her life, and nothing will happen."

At this time, after the song was sung, warm applause erupted from the wine table in the front row. After some rewards, Shen Weiniang withdrew her pipa and retreated.

When he walked to the fast door, Wang Rui deliberately touched the chopsticks and leaned over to pick them up, lest Shen Weiniang would see him.

When he straightened up and sat upright, Shen Weiniang had already left. Wang Rui heaved a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he heard the people around the table say: "Here we come, it's Lu Qing."

They were in the last row anyway, and he was about to stand up to get a wider view, when Wei Xingxian stood up beside him, staring straight at the stage in front.

Wang Rui doesn't know much about opera, he only knows that Luo Huiqing plays a role in reverse, and she dresses and sings like a woman.

He was already beautiful, but at this moment, his makeup was exquisite, like a stunning beauty.

Luo Huiqing on the stage babbled and sang, looking down from time to time, looking far away, looking for Wei Xingxian and the others.

Suddenly, he saw him in the corner, although they were far away, but only at this moment, he felt connected.

There is still such a person in this world who misses and cares about himself...

As soon as his eyes became hot, his voice became a little hoarse. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the distinguished guests sitting below, and he hurriedly adjusted without daring to be negligent.

A fat old man in a red brocade robe who was sitting at the bottom watching the play with his legs crossed, looked at Luo Huiqing on the stage, and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, this person, our family wants to take him back to the capital. "

Eunuch Sun, who was accompanying him at the side, as the eunuch guarding Jinling, did not dare to neglect the Eunuch Liu, who came from the capital, and coughed lightly a few times before saying: "He was originally an actor, but later he took off his clothes." Advocating excellent nationality, becoming a commoner, and changing his name. If you didn't come here, I wouldn't bother him anymore."

Eunuch Liu raised his eyebrows: "Don't say he is a commoner, so what if he is a son of the Hou family? Bringing him back to Beijing is the blessing he has been dreaming of for several lifetimes."

Eunuch Sun knew that this time Eunuch Liu came out of the capital, apart from inspecting Jinling, he was here to find beauties for the emperor, regardless of gender.

Lu Shilang, as a leisurely official in the capital of Jinling, never dared to offend the eunuchs in power, and echoed from the side: "It is indeed a blessing for a person like him to be appreciated by you for several lifetimes."

Eunuch Liu glanced at him, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that Lu Shilang's daughter is beautiful and unparalleled in the world, but is it true?"

Lu Shilang said with a false smile: "To tell you the truth, she does have a bit of color, but she has a very weird personality. She can speak after three months of life. When she is a little older, when she is about seven or eight years old, she will talk about herself. In my previous life, when I was talking about marriage, I said that I had made an appointment with my lover in the previous life and met in this life. I talked nonsense every day, and her mother and I have discussed it. If there is no cure, we will send her to my sister-in-law to the temple."

After hearing this, Eunuch Liu smacked his mouth, suffering from hysteria, but he couldn't serve the emperor anymore: "Oh, so that's the case, does Lu Shilang need the assistance of the Tai Hospital?"

"Don't dare to work, we just have to find a way by ourselves." Lu Shilang smiled apologetically.

His daughter, who could speak at birth, claimed that her surname was Lu in her previous life. She was the daughter of Duke Lu. She died of illness when she was 15 years old. After her death, she had a relationship with a scholar. meet.

She did not avoid suspicion and told everywhere, and many people knew about it.

Lu Shilang only thought that his daughter had a strange disease, and sought medical treatment everywhere, but to no avail.

Hearing what Eunuch Sun meant just now, he wanted to see his daughter's beauty, and he seemed to intend to promote her to the palace face saint, which really shocked him.

The daughter's appearance offended the emperor, and it was not a joke to kill her all over the house.

Fortunately, Eunuch Liu seems to have given up on this idea.

After Luo Huiqing sang a scene, she turned around and went backstage to remove her makeup, preparing to leave.

Before he had time to change his clothes, he was called into a room where the fat eunuch who had just been off the stage was sitting.

"Our family name is Liu, and we serve the emperor." Eunuch Liu said with a smile: "Recently, the emperor's ears are monotonous, and he wants to listen to some music to relieve boredom. Your luck has come, so come with our capital."

After hearing this, Luo Huiqing's heart was immersed in endless darkness: "Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law."

A numb answer, without the slightest joy in his tone.

Eunuch Liu only thought that he was calm, but he was very satisfied with his indifference: "I won't talk nonsense, you go back and pack up, our family will send someone to pick up your resident tomorrow to pick you up."

Luo Huiqing nodded dully, and said goodbye with a blessing like a walking corpse.

After taking off his makeup, he walked out of the gate of Lu's house. He saw Wei Xingxian and the others waiting there, and greeted him with a smile.

Wei Xingxian came up quickly, looked at him left and right: "Are you alright?"

Luo Huiqing said with a smile: "I just came to sing a song, now that it's over, let's go back."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, some things were not as serious as they imagined, Luo Huiqing really came to sing the opera, and the plot of the bully taking over the actor was not staged.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing and walking out, suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Lang Jun—it's me, the daughter of Lord Lu, do you still remember?"

The sound was crisp, almost piercing the night sky.

Everyone looked back instinctively, but they saw a few maids gathered together, and some shouted: "It's not good, Miss is sick again, hurry up and take her back."

Several servant girls covered a woman's mouth, wrapped her cloak around her, and forcibly pulled it down.

Everyone thought, this Lu Shilang's family is not peaceful, there is a crazy lady.

After leaving the alley of Lu Shilang's mansion, it was already late at night, and the academy was locked. If he went back, he would only be caught by the door and sent to the head of the mountain.

So Huo Huan went back to the inn with his brother, and Luo Huiqing went back to his residence with Wei Xingxian to make do for the night.

-

Seeing that Luo Huiqing was always depressed, Wei Xingxian guessed that he was sad because everyone found out that he was an actor.

So he comforted: "Everyone is not that kind of layman, no one will care."

Luo Huiqing just nodded in a muffled voice and didn't say anything.

When we arrived at Wei Xingxian's residence, he asked his school boy to tidy up a side room for Luo Huiqing to stay for the night.

He personally hugged a new quilt for him: "You cover this..."

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Luo Huiqing sitting under the candle, holding his cheeks sadly, as beautiful as a person walking out of a painting.

He was in a trance for a moment, and looked at him in a daze.

At this time, Luo Huiqing also raised her eyes, with tears in her eyes, she stood up and walked towards him: "...there were so many people just now, I can't tell you, but in fact, among the people who listened to the music just now, there was a great eunuch from the capital, He will take me to the capital tomorrow, saying that he will sing for the emperor..."

Wei Xingxian felt as if he had been beaten with a sap, and said with an insincere dry smile: "That's it... Congratulations..."

Luo Huiqing walked to the door, closed the door, choked up and said: "... I should be happy. I have been unlucky since I was born. My mother is a maidservant of a rich family. She has an affair with the young master. She was sold with me in her belly. When I arrived at a new family, she died shortly after giving birth to me. Later, this family also failed, and I was sold to a theater troupe. Until last year...a kind person redeemed me and bought me a new one. Identity, told me to study... As a result, now it's like this again..."

Wei Xingxian pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, he just wanted to hold the poor man in his arms, but he couldn't do that now: "...Going to the capital is a good thing, your luck has come."

Luo Huiqing suddenly said: "Do you want me to go?"

Wei Xingxian was stunned, and wanted to laugh: "Could it be that you don't leave?"

"Yes, can I not go." Luo Huiqing took the quilt and threw it on the bed: "The emperor's personal eunuch wants to take me away, how can I resist..."

"Then you... have a good rest." Wei Xingxian uttered such a sentence, lowered his head, hesitated, and started to walk.

Suddenly at this time, Luo Huiqing grabbed his sleeve and said sadly: "...Let me accompany you for a night..."

Wei Xingxian was angry and ashamed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say such things casually?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow, I don't know when I can come back, I have nothing to give you, as long as you don't think I'm dirty... I know I'm not clean... But I don't have any dirty things in your heart of……"

Wei Xingxian bit his lip, and said in pain: "How could I despise you..." After finishing speaking, his lips warmed up, and he saw Luo Huiqing looking at him with tears in his eyes, eyes full of love.

He had never even been seen by a woman like that.

Wei Xingxian felt that a tight string in his heart was broken in an instant.

...

-

Wang Rui slept well last night, and he and He Yun came to the academy early in the morning, and just sat down in class when Wei Xingxian walked in.

His eyes were downcast and he looked severely sleep deprived.

Wang Rui waved to him: "Have you had breakfast? How about we go to the dining hall?"

Hearing the movement, he glanced at them casually.

With just this one glance, Wang Rui didn't respond, but He Yunyi took a breath of air.

"What's wrong?" Wang Rui had never seen He Yunyi react like this before.

He Yun frowned: "What's wrong with Wei Xingxian, Yintang is black, black clouds are covering the top, heinous crimes, this is what a rebellious person looks like."

"Eh?" Wang Rui only felt that Wei Xingxian's complexion was off: "When he separated from us last night, he was fine."
