night snow full of clear branches

The most famous troupe in the capital is the troupe that Hang Xiu belongs to. Hang Xiu's Hua Dan, who once sang to the point of being empty-handed, I can't say I love to listen to opera, but I made friends with him by chance.

"Miss Qing Zhi, why are you free to come to the theater today?" Hang Xiu was very surprised by my arrival. At this time, he had just painted his face and was about to wear a bun.

"I have a younger sister who wants to hear you sing, so I brought her here." Si Yong nodded to her.

"Welcome." Hang Xiu has a kind of integrity that is neither humble nor overbearing, which I like very much. I know that even if I bring a beggar here today, he will still say welcome lightly.

Although I have known Hang Xiu for a long time, I have seldom listened to his plays carefully, let alone watched him wear outfits seriously. Today, when I feel refreshed, I just watch him draw and paint, which is very novel.

"Hang Xiu, if I were a man, I would be fascinated by you." He was fully dressed, but he only wore a middle coat, which made people feel like a dream.

Hang Xiu laughed twice and said, "Unfortunately you are not."

"Yeah, what a pity."

There was still half an hour before the singing, Si Yong was very free, drinking tea at the side, I couldn't be idle, I took all kinds of outfits from the troupe and asked this and that, and finally picked out a suit of niche clothes and put them on my body .

"There are endless willows in the depth of spring outside the bridge, and the misty rain in the lake is just like before..." I sang with my orchid fingers, half resembling and half not resembling.

"Qing Zhi, why didn't I realize before that you still have some talent for singing." Hang Xiu came over and straightened my clothes, and handed me a folding fan.

With a flick of the fan, I felt a little more like a niche, and Si Yong looked at it and laughed.

"I also think I have talent, so if I have nowhere to go in the future, I'll sing with you."

Hang Xiu laughed at me and said, "Half a quarter of an hour on stage, ten years off stage, you have to learn, it's too late."

"It's too late, there's nothing I can do, I still want to play a stage with you." I waved my fan, pretending to be coquettish.

"You're going to smash my platform." I was disgusted.

Some jokes, very happy.

"Hang is about to take the stage, the two young ladies can do their own thing." Hang Xiushui swung his sleeves and turned to go up the stage.

I took off my costume and followed Si Yong to the lobby, the drums were beating and Hang Xiu was singing.

However, I felt bored after hearing half of it. Looking around, I found a person sitting in the hall whom I hadn’t seen for a long time: Xie Chenggui.I immediately understood, I said why Si Yong said that he wanted to listen to the opera so well, it turned out to be premeditated.

With Xie Cheng in the hall, nothing should happen.I pulled Si Yong who was next to me, "Si Yong, I'm going out for a walk, I'll wait for you at the door after a while."

"Go."

After leaving the theater, I ran into Weixue, thinking that the capital city is too small to meet all of these, and it's time to suggest the emperor to expand.

I wanted to pretend I didn't see it, but Wei Xue called me first.

"coincidence."

"Do you like to listen to opera?" Wei Xue looked at me a little strangely.

"No, I came with a friend."

"Friend? I think it's Si Yong."

"You're so smart, you can guess right." I came to accompany Si Yong, but she came to accompany Xie Chenggui. "Um, that...can you please keep Si Yong's presence here a secret." The most important thing is not to let Concubine Min know, or I will be in trouble.

"Are you asking for something from me?"

"Tell me, what are the conditions." Wei Xue, who doesn't talk about conditions, is not the Wei Xue I know. I have already figured out her habit.

"Why do you always think that I have to exchange conditions for anything I do for you?"

Isn't it?I can clearly remember how you negotiated terms with me because of Ayun's matter. "Of course it's best not to have any conditions." I smiled flatteringly.

"Hey, you." Wei Xue shook her head again.

"Then let's say that, I'll take it as your agreement!" As I said that, I gave her a big hug. This is my habitual action. When I'm in a good mood, I hug whoever I see.

But this time, I don't know what kind of demon, I don't want to let go of her as soon as I hug her, maybe it's because she smells good, or...

After thinking about it, I let her go quickly.

Wei Xue looked at me with displeasure, "Hugging and hugging on the street, how decent it is."

"When did you become like the Tai Tuo?"

"Where is it?"

"Well, no." If you say no, then there is no, Wei Xue agreed not to say, I don't want to offend her right now.

"Let's sit over there for a while." Wei Xue walked towards the opposite teahouse and found a seat by the window.

"You two girls, what would you like to drink?" Xiao Er immediately came up to greet her.

Wei Xue ordered: "Just a pot of tea."

"I like jasmine tea better." She made the decision without even asking me, really like a princess.

Weixue glanced at me, then said to Xiaoer, "Let's have some green tea."

"No, I want jasmine tea."

"Leave her alone, this is a reward for you." After finishing speaking, Wei Xue took out the money, oops, Xiao Er saw that it was still a lot, so she took the money and left.

These days, Xiaoer is also so snobbish, he listens to whoever has money.

Looking out from the window is a pond, the willows in the pond have lost their new leaves, they are very green, and the breeze is blowing, which is very comfortable.In the ear, Wei Xue said: "Next month, I will go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors, you can come with me."

"Why?" I bounced back.

"Where do you get so many why, I just let you know."

"Can I not go?"

"Then you want me to tell Concubine Min that you guys went to the theater today?"

"Hmph, you said you won't talk about conditions..." I started to babble, but sure enough, I was right, Wei Xue is such a fussy person.

"Don't babble, if you babble again, your tongue will be cut off."

As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country, but it is hard to change the nature. Wei Xue, who casually talks about cutting off his neck and tongue, has long since awakened.

The matter of going to the imperial mausoleum with Princess Zhaoyun was settled in this way. When Concubine Min told me, I said I had heard about it.Concubine Min shook her head again: "How did you know that she was going there on behalf of the emperor, but why did she take you there?"

"I should think my martial arts are better than Wei Yu." This is just my wishful thinking, there are really many things that don't make sense.

Before we left, Si Yong and I said goodbye, "Si Yong, I'm leaving you again." She didn't even look at me, and continued to draw her own picture. "Go, go and have fun."

"What are you drawing?" I leaned forward and found that it was a portrait. This guy... clearly drew Xie Chenggui.

"How is it?" Si Yong then looked up at me.

"It's not good." I'm a little unhappy, it's like this before we get married, what will happen in the future.

"What's wrong? You tell me, and I'll change it."

"It's not good anywhere, I want to show it to Concubine Min!" After speaking, he tore away the painting and ran out the door. Si Yong was in a hurry and caught up.

"you give me."

"I won't give it, hahaha." I ran outside, accidentally bumped into Wei Xue.

"Give it back to me!" Si Yong also rushed over and grabbed me, struggling to snatch the painting from my hand.

Seeing this, Wei Xue glanced at my hand, and I clenched the painting even tighter.She asked: "What kind of painting is this? It's worth grabbing so much."

"It's nothing."

"Show me." Wei Xue stretched out her hand.

"Si Yong, return it to you." I handed the painting to Si Yong without giving it to Wei Xue, and Si Yong ran back into the house as soon as she got the painting.

"Is there anything I can't see?"

"Um... why are you here suddenly?" It's better to change the subject at this time.

"I want to see why you still haven't passed."

I saw a huge group of people at the gate of the palace. This time they went to worship the ancestors, which was really grand. There were also some ministers who went with Weixue. There were four carriages in total, and Princess Zhaoyun's carriage was the third.

I looked around and didn't see Wei Yu, so I couldn't help being curious, so I asked, "Did Wei Yu come?"

"I still have a lot of things for her to do, so I let her stay in the palace." Wei Xue was closing her eyes to rest.

That's how it is... No wonder you want to find me.

The imperial mausoleum is in another city, half a day’s journey away from the capital, whether it’s far or near, but I’ve never been there.

Along the way, Wei Xue kept her eyes closed and said a few words to me from time to time, and I kept lifting the curtain to look out, following her words one after another.

"Is it so beautiful outside?" Wei Xue suddenly came over, and I made room for her.

It's not how beautiful the outside is, is it because you want me to face your cold face in the carriage for half a day?

"It's nothing to see." Wei Xue said and sat back.

"That's because you don't understand appreciation."

"Haha." Then, she no longer closed her eyes and stopped talking to me, and picked up a book from the side and started reading.

After I settled down in the Imperial Mausoleum, I found that all my luggage had been moved to Wei Xue’s room. People in the ancestral temple told me that Princess Zhaoyun ordered me to live with her.

I don't want to... "Are there any more rooms? I want to live by myself."

The man told me directly that due to the large number of visitors this time, the wing room was already full, and the room between me and Princess Zhaoyun had the best environment.

"That's all." Let's live together, anyway, she brings the maid with her, so I don't need to serve her.

However when I walked into the room and found there was only one bed, I freaked out. "It's really stingy, can't you put an extra bed?"

"When did you pick and choose?" Weixue heard me complain as soon as she came in.

Come on, I don't care too much, it seems that I am mean.But Princess Wei Xue is also willing to squeeze to sleep?I am surprised.

After the maid made the bed, I sat on it and found that the bed was actually big enough to sleep four people without being too crowded. Of course, I was awkward once.

Just as she was about to lean back, she heard Wei Xue say, "Don't lie down yet, follow me out to meet the abbot and the others."

"Ah—" The bumpy road made me really tired, but the princess has a life, so I have to follow.

Master Mingkong, the abbot of the ancestral temple, looked like that kind of eminent monk. I couldn't understand a word when he spoke, but he thought it made sense.

This sacrificial ceremony lasted for three days, but before the first day, Wei Xue led the crowd to kowtow to the ancestors, dozens of ancestors, and she went to offer incense one by one, I stood outside the ancestral hall and was burned Smoked sore eyes.
