It was like a different person from time to time, saying this in a hurry, while pressing the third child's chest and giving him first aid, the third child spat out a few sips of water under Fang Wanruo's pressure.

And the oil paint on the third child's face also faded with water, Fang Wanruo looked at the third child with some mood swings, but she didn't show it, she just sent him back to the room.Seeing that Fang Wanruo was all wet, Aunt Lan said, "Ma'am, your clothes are all wet, go to the room and change, don't catch a cold." Fang Wanruo smiled gently at Aunt Lan, nodded, and walked to herself. house.

The play on the stage was over, everyone came to the stage, ready to take a bow and bow, Fu Yunqing stood in the middle, but the smile on his face was not sincere, one was worried about whether the person who fell into the water was Huaiqiu, and whether Huaiqiu was messing around Let's go, the second worry is the third child who has just rushed down from the stage rashly. This kid usually looks very clever, why is he in chaos when something happens?

Mrs. Ye stood up first, smiling and applauding, and then Ye Jilin also stood up, and many guests who came also stood up, all of them were officials' wives, Ye Jilin's subordinates and relatives from Mrs. Ye's house.

"Thank you for the Peony Red Troupe's performance today. I am very happy to see this show. I like it very much. Thank you, Mr. Fu, for bringing me this play." Mrs. Ye stepped forward and reached out her hand to shake hands with Fu Yunqing. Fu Yunqing also walked forward to meet Mrs. Ye's hand, held both hands, and smiled at each other. Mrs. Ye said: "Team master, the one who rushed off the stage just now is a child from your troupe. Go and find him, time It's not too early."

There was a bean-sized drop of sweat on Fu Yunqing's forehead in an instant, and he said with a forced smile: "Madam Ye, what you said is that I will send someone to look for him right away. If you don't cause trouble to your house, just be happy, you Just be happy."

Tao Zhuyuan and Qin Heting beside him immediately understood what Fu Yunqing meant, and they also walked off the stage and trotted towards the backyard.

Ye Jilin looked at Fu Yunqing. Fu Yunqing slowly walked down from the stage and walked towards Ye Jilin. Fu Yunqing himself was not short, but when he walked in front of Ye Jilin, he was half a head shorter, and his aura was also much weaker. After all, he was just a The leader of the theater troupe is indeed incomparable with the commander.

"Commander, look..."

"The play is very good, Mr. Fu, and my mother also likes to watch plays. I think I will trouble you more in the future." Ye Jilin looked at Fu Yunqing with a smile. You need to pay more attention." After speaking, he patted Fu Yunqing's shoulder with his right hand again, Fu Yunqing's face became stiff after these few pats, but he still smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the commander is right."

"Okay, you guys pack up." Ye Jilin turned his head and said to the officials' wives behind him, "Thank you for coming today, I'm sorry that I can't accompany you to have a drink and talk with me on business. It's not too early, everyone should go back and have an early rest, tomorrow is just a weekend, so you can sleep like crazy, haha." The people below also laughed together, but Fu Yunqing couldn't sit still Ann, Ye Jilin said again: "Today's play I think the Peony Red troupe is very good. I don't know how you feel. Anyway, thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to celebrate my mother's [-]th birthday. Here I will replace wine with tea. Thank you all." !"

There was another round of applause from below, and then the crowd began to disperse slowly, the originally lively courtyard gradually became less crowded, the stage was demolished, and Ye Jilin left home again, he just came to the house to explain something and left Yes, Mrs. Ye is really happy, with a smile on her face, standing at the door to see off one visitor after another.

Qin Heting ran up to Fu Yunqing, panting and said: "Master, the third child is in Mrs. Ye's room."

"What?" Fu Yunqing stared at Qin Heting with rounded eyes, "Take me there!"

Chapter 6

Fang Wanruo sat on the edge of the bed and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. When he was sleeping with his eyes closed, he looked harmless to humans and animals. On his side, Fang Wanruo paid the most attention to a vermilion mole behind his ear, probably a coincidence, Fang Wanruo smiled self-deprecatingly.

"are you awake?"

The third child only opened his eyes at this time, half an hour had passed since he fell into the water and was rescued, but he didn't notice it, but he found himself lying on a large carved bed, and the clothes on his body were not his costumes anymore. It was a blue cloth dress. He touched his body, looked at the decoration of the whole room, and realized that this should be a woman's room.

"You are?" The third child looked at the woman in front of her. Her face seemed very familiar, but her hair was covered and wet, and she looked gentle and dignified in a lavender floral cheongsam.

"Ah, you can call me Aunt Fang, what's your name?" The woman looked at the third child with a gentle smile, as if she couldn't get enough of him.

"Aunt Fang, I'm going back to the theatrical troupe. I just jumped into the water and found out that I can't swim. I'm sorry to trouble you." The third child lifted the thin quilt covering him, got up to look for the shoes next to the bed, and found that the shoes were not at all. She was not under the bed and couldn't see the costume, so she asked again, "Aunt Fang, where are my costume and shoes?"

"I've already asked Mr. Fu to bring your costume back. I don't know if I have your shoes here, Xiaoyu..." Fang Wanruo asked Xiaoyu, the personal maid standing outside the house, to look for the old ones. The shoes worn by the third turned around and said, "Don't worry, if you really can't do it, someone will buy you a pair."

"But it's too late now, don't bother, Aunt Fang, where's my master? Oh no, where's Mr. Fu?" The third child sat on the side of the bed and looked at Fang Wanruo, calm on the surface, but he was too restless in his heart Yes, Huaiqiu is still in that room, will he cry if no one picks him up?

"Your master and the theater troupe are going back first, you drink some water first..." Fang Wanruo was pouring tea for the third child with a teapot imported from the West on the carved mahogany table in her room. She had already stood up from the bed, and said to Fang Wanruo: "Thank you, Aunt Fang, I can't stay here, I have to go back, I'm really bothering you, I have to go back..."

Xiaoyu outside the door knocked on the door and said, "Ma'am, here is a pair of shoes, I wonder if this young master can wear them."

"Bring it in."

Xiaoyu entered the door and handed the shoes to the third child, looked at the third child's face flushed slightly, and retracted his hand in embarrassment, the third child ignored her expression, put on the shoes, and gave Fang Wanruo a deep sigh. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Fang. I am the third child in the Peony Red Troupe. If there is still room for me in the future, I will definitely do my best!"

The third child didn't have time to listen to Fang Wanruo's words, and forgot to take the costume, so he ran out in a hurry. Fang Wanruo was about to say something to stay, saying that it was getting late, so he might as well stay here and come back tomorrow, but he didn't say anything Exit, the third child ran to the door of Ye Mansion.

The third child happened to meet Mrs. Ye who had just turned back from the door. The old lady just glanced at the third child inadvertently, but when she saw the third child, she stood still in a daze as if her whole body had been shocked by electricity, but she stopped him Said: "You, stop!"

"Old Madam Ye, I'm sorry, I disturbed you today, but I really want to go back to the troupe tonight, otherwise Master will..."

The third child was so anxious that he wanted to jump three feet high, and now the old lady Ye came to make things difficult for him, making him not know what to do. The old lady looked at the third child, pretending to be calm and said: "Ma Er, go drive!" Come here with a carriage, and take the boy back to the troupe."

The third child almost knelt down to Mrs. Ye at this moment, and said: "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Ye!!" Mrs. Ye smiled and said without a trace: "It should be, your opera troupe sings very well, I like it very much Come back quickly." But the old lady Ye felt uneasy in her heart, this child could not be...

two hours ago.

It seems very noisy outside, as if someone fell into the water, but why can't I open my eyes, even if I widen my eyes, I can only see the faint light outside.He has always been very obedient, he didn't dare to go out when he wanted to go out, he has been sitting on this chair, the dark room where he can't see anything made him fear, why didn't the elder brother come to pick him up.

If he feels that someone is staring at him or there seems to be a change in the room, he will take out the rattle drum given to him by his senior brother and turn it in his hand twice, and the small beads on both sides will bounce to the drum surface, making a crisp and loud sound , as if the senior brother is by his side, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, Huaiqiu is a brave child.

"Let's go, take your things and go first." A familiar voice came from outside the door, Huaiqiu jumped off the chair excitedly, and was about to walk to the door, when suddenly the door "creaked—" opened, The person who came was not the third child, but——

"Huaiqiu, are you still here?"

"Eldest brother, where's senior brother?"

Huaiqiu looked at Tao Zhuyuan with a drum in his hand holding his mouth shut. Tao Zhuyuan didn't speak and walked aside to move the outside things into the house with other people who came in. After a pause for a few seconds, Tao Zhuyuan said to Huaiqiu: Three, he just jumped into the water to save someone, but as a result, he also forgot that he can swim, the rescuer was rescued, but now I don't know which room he is placed in..."

"Eldest brother, can you take me to look for senior brother?" Huaiqiu was so small that he could only hold onto Tao Zhuyuan's sleeve, and he shook Tao Zhuyuan's sleeve back and forth. Tao Zhuyuan looked at Huaiqiu helplessly and pitifully, and said, "Huaiqiu, it's not that big brother won't take you to find third child, but you have to know that this is not a garden, this is Ye Mansion.
