[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

There are no performances in the garden for the past few days, and the owner of the garden asked everyone to rest. There is no Xu Fang in the garden, and there are few plays that can be sung. In addition to my injury, there are even fewer songs that can be sung.

The four dan dans in the garden sound nice, but they are actually just a show favored by regular customers. Except for Xu Fang and me, the other two juniors are still a little immature, and they still can't stand alone.

The owner of the garden simply took the opportunity to close the garden to rest for a few days. I guess it is not only because of the lack of danjiao, but also because of a sense of avoiding the limelight. Although there is Dong Wuye behind the theater troupe, the owner of the garden could not refuse the invitation from the Yuan Mansion. .

Thinking of this level, I can't help but think, although Fifth Master Dong is a member of the royal family, he is only a general who does not rank eight cents. In addition, Suwen Fifth Master Dong loved Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera since he was a child, and he has no interest in the affairs of the court and China. Don't care.

And Yuan Shikai, as the governor of Zhili, although he was only a military officer of the second rank, he was a minister of the frontier who was personally appointed by the emperor.

In comparison between the two, the Fifth Master Dong only took the title of the last rank of the clan, and he may still have some influence in Beijing, but outside of Beijing, he is absolutely inferior to the real power of the governor of Zhili.

From this point of view, Erye Yuan was the only one who could make the theater troupe leave Yuan's mansion safely. Muddy waters?

At the beginning, the second master blocked the old and young posts, so there was nothing wrong?Why bother to let us go to Tianjin and worry about my safety, why bother, some are asking for trouble.

I will never understand the twists and turns in the minds of noble eunuchs. If I can't figure it out, I simply don't think about it. After all, the theater troupe returned to Beijing safely, and this matter should be considered over.

In the next few days, I returned to the life I had a while ago. I could only stay in the room to recuperate my injuries every day. The difference is that this time the injury was on my hand. Before the injury healed, I was no different from a disabled person.

Every day, I followed my previous plan and found time to enter Taoyuan to have a look, but I didn't find anything unusual, and the silver light didn't appear anymore, which made me wonder if I was wrong.

Early this morning, Xiao Dongzi rushed in nervously, and I was very surprised: "What's the matter? You were so reckless early in the morning."

"Tsing Yi, someone from the Yuan Manor is here!" Xiao Dongzi lowered his voice, his voice could not hide his worry.

"Yuan Mansion? Who's here?" My heart skipped a beat. Since Second Master let us leave, why would someone come to Yuan Mansion?

"I don't know, it seems to be someone from the young master." Xiao Dongzi hastily closed the door, then hurried to the window, and closed the window.

How old are you?My heart shrank, and I felt a dull pain from the wound on my arms, and my heart was uneasy, why did the young master send someone to the door?Did you come to catch me?

The head steward at the gate lowered his head, standing aside in fear, someone knocked on the door of the theater early in the morning, unexpectedly it was the prince of Zhili Governor who sent someone to ask Ban Master Wan to explain what he said .

He didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite the owner of the garden, who knows that not long after, the fifth master's people also came, and they also wanted to invite the head of the class, and he suddenly became big and big, and no one on both sides could offend him. Dilemma.

"Go back and tell your master that this is the city of Beijing, let him weigh it carefully before doing anything." Fifth Master's subordinates looked at Young Master Yuan's subordinates indifferently.

"What my father-in-law said is that the younger one doesn't know that class leader Wan has an appointment with the fifth master, so the younger one will go back and report to the master, and hope that the fifth master will not be offended." It occurred to me that Master Wan was actually the Fifth Master Dong.

"Hmph." Fifth Master's men flicked their sleeves and entered the theater, leaving Young Master Yuan's men gnashing their teeth outside the door.

"Steward, what should I do?" Others asked the leader at the side, the steward looked gloomy, what can I do, this is not Tianjin, and it is not a place where Yuan Mansion has the final say.

"Go back to the inn first." The steward flicked his sleeves and led the other subordinates to leave. At this time, the fifth master's people came out of the garden, looked at the direction in which Young Master Yuan's subordinates were leaving, and frowned.

"Fifth master said, let class leader Wan lead Du Qingyi to the other village, and our family will wait outside." Fifth master's subordinates turned their heads to give orders to the chief steward, who quickly complied, and hurriedly left to inform the owner of the garden.

Fifth Master's subordinates walked outside the door and asked the others, "Where's the carriage?"

"Back to Eunuch, according to your instructions, stop at the corner two streets away." The subordinate replied respectfully.

"The situation has changed, let them park the carriage at the back door."

"Cha!" The others took the order, and Fifth Master's subordinates turned and entered the door. Just as he was about to close the door, a figure not far away caught his attention. He paused for a moment, and then closed the door again as if he hadn't noticed it. up.

The chief steward came to the garden owner's courtyard, and the garden owner was about to walk towards the gate. The chief steward hurriedly approached and reported in a low voice: "The master, not only the young master Yuan is here, but the fifth master is also here."

"What did Fifth Master say?" The garden owner stopped and asked.

"Fifth Master's people sent away the young and old, but someone told me that Fifth Master asked you to bring Tsing Yi to the Biezhuang, and he is waiting outside." The chief manager wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Well, I see, you have someone tell Tsing Yi to tell Xiao Dongzi to clean up quickly, and don't make Master Wu wait any longer." The owner of the garden didn't seem surprised, and nodded slightly to explain to the chief steward. After the chief steward left, he Then he turned around and went back to the courtyard.

After packing up, the owner of the garden came to the gate, and sure enough, he saw Eunuch Qin, who was under Fifth Master, waiting there. He hurried forward and said, "Let Eunuch wait."

"It's okay, our family is ordered by the fifth master to come here and invite the two of you to leave the village." Eunuch Qin said lightly, with no expression of happiness or anger on his face.

"I don't know if the fifth master said how long we have to stay?" the owner of the garden asked politely.

"Master Wu didn't tell you. Master Wan, please rest assured, Master Wu has his own arrangements." Eunuch Qin slowed down his tone and comforted the owner of the garden.

Not long after, Xiaodongzi rushed to me with me. Xiaodongzi and I were still at a loss, so we were led to the back door. As soon as we opened the back door, a carriage was already waiting outside the door. The owner and I got into the carriage. , Let the carriage take us to Biezhuang.

"Owner, what's going on here?" The owner and I sat in the carriage and were taken away wobbly.

"It's nothing, just avoid it for the time being." The owner of the garden said lightly.

"Who to avoid? Young Master Yuan?" I asked, but Young Master Yuan came to the door again, but I don't know why this time?

"Well, there will be big disturbances in the Yuan Manor in the near future, and we will be implicated in it, so let's avoid it for a while." The owner of the garden explained.

"What's going on in the Yuan Mansion? But between the Second Master and the Eldest Young Master...?" I asked after deliberation.

"Well, the second master wants to use his tricks, and take this opportunity, even if he can't bring down the young master, he still has to attack his power." It's rare that the owner of the garden didn't hide anything and said it clearly.

"The owner of the garden, how do you know?" I wondered, would Erye Yuan tell the owner of this kind of thing?

"Fifth Master said." The owner of the garden glanced at me, as if he didn't care much about my question.

I was taken aback for a moment, the fifth master actually told the owner of the garden?But how did fifth master know?And after that day, Fifth Lord didn't come to the door, how did he tell the owner of the garden?

"Just take it as a summer escape, don't think too much." The owner of the garden leaned back on the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, as if he didn't care about what happened at all.

"Fifth Lord knows Yuan Erye?" After much deliberation, this was the only possibility, so I asked again.

"Maybe it is." The owner of the garden continued to doze off, and only gave me three words in neither salt nor taste.

I frowned, shut my mouth and didn't ask any more questions. The garden owner made it clear that he only told me that.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and I followed the example of the owner, leaning on the carriage, not long after the slight shaking of the carriage, I fell asleep unknowingly.

-

"Yuan Qi, what does your master think?" Fifth master Dong sat on the main seat and asked lazily.

"As for Fifth Lord, how can a slave guess what the master is thinking?" Yuan Qi replied respectfully with his head lowered.

"You've been with him for so long, but you've learned the rules." The fifth master sneered, raising the corners of his mouth.

"If you go back to Fifth Master, a slave should be more disciplined." Yuan Qi replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"However, this slick tongue can't be changed no matter what, how about it, would you like me to help you change it?" Fifth Master said lightly, but at the end he changed his tone and said in a cold voice.

"If you go back to the fifth master, the servant thinks that this is very good, so you don't bother the fifth master." Yuan Qi was unmoved.

"You slave is so boring, tell me, what's wrong with Yuan Kewen this time?" Fifth Master's tone changed, and he asked lazily again.

"Returning to Fifth Master, the master said that he will come to Beijing soon, and I hope that Fifth Master will find time to talk about it." Yuan Qi brought Yuan Erye's words with him.

"Going to Beijing soon? Then he asked me to pick him up first, and he can't do it by himself." Fifth Master was taken aback, rolled his eyes, and was so tired that he sent someone to arrange matters early in the morning.

"You and I have been to Hanjiatan Hutong this morning." Yuan Qi only said this sentence, and he believed that Fifth Master Tong understood.

"What?!" Sure enough, when the fifth master heard this, he sat up straight and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure? His people have arrived?"

"Returning to the fifth master, the servant saw it with his own eyes, so he came here to report to the fifth master."

"Where's Qin Si?" Fifth Master asked with a frown.

"It's still on the way back to Lord Fifth." The little eunuch waiting at the side hastily stepped forward to report.

"Go, send more people to make sure the carriage arrives safely." Fifth Lord waved his hand, and the little eunuch hurriedly agreed to leave.

"What did Yuan Kewen send you here for?" Fifth Master turned his gaze back and glared at Yuan Qi displeased. If he hadn't sent someone there early in the morning, wouldn't it have allowed Young Master Yuan's people to succeed?

"Responding to Fifth Master, the servant came to report to Fifth Master after confirming that Wan Banzhu was safe and sound. Fifth Master doesn't have to worry about Wan Banzhu." Yuan Qi replied respectfully.

"Hmph, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not being able to keep the little actor on Yuan Kewen's heart." Fifth Master's expression changed, and he glared at Yuan Qi viciously.
