Dressed as an actor in the Qing Dynasty

As the sun sets, Shichahai becomes more bustling and noisy.

Shichahai in the Jin Dynasty was called Bailiantan, and it was also called Haizi and Shuitan in the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, with Desheng Bridge and Yindian Bridge as the boundary, the west water surface was called Jishuitan, because there was Jingye Temple on the north bank, so it was also called Jingye Lake, and the middle part of the water was called Shichahai because there was Shichahai Temple on the north bank. There is a piece of lotus on the water east of Yindian Bridge, so it is called Lotus Paozi.

Shichahai has always been the best place for the common people to cool off from the summer heat. There is a long embankment in the middle, and willows are planted along the embankment.

On the long embankment, there are tea shops everywhere, with a variety of operas for people to entertain, and sheds on both sides of the bank are set up by the water, and cold and fresh snacks are served in the sheds. It is pleasing to the eye.

Su Qingchi and the others were tired from playing, so they went into the tea house by the embankment and ordered two pots of tea to sit and drink.

Several people sat at two tables, Qiu's siblings and Shang Chengjun were at the same table, facing the window.

After getting along for half a day, Su Qingchi also had some affection for the brothers and sisters of the Qiu family, especially Qiu Ling'er, the young lady of the Qiu family.

Qiu Zhongwen's appearance is not outstanding, just because of his handsome features, he can be regarded as handsome. Su Qingchi didn't say a few words to him, but he was very grateful to him. If it wasn't for him, Shang Chengjun would not be so honest .

Although they are brothers and sisters, this Qiu Ling'er is a beautiful woman, at the age of twenty-eight, with willow leaf eyebrows and crescent moon eyes. People are quite fond of it.

After everyone sat for a while, Su Baoer and Qiu Linger went downstairs to watch a sideshow.

Under the teahouse, it was already very noisy, with applause one after another, bursts of thunder, Su Qingchi couldn't help but glance out of the window, there were theater trolleys downstairs, arhats stacking, Qipan dancers, Zhuzhu balls, flower drumsticks, and hundreds of others. The drama is mixed, the gongs and drums are noisy, it is really lively.

"Like it?" Someone from the side suddenly said.

Su Qingchi's attention was on the downstairs, and the corners of his mouth curled up when he heard this, "It's very lively."

After finishing speaking, Su Qingchi suppressed his smile and turned his head. At this time, the person standing beside him was not Shang Chengde.

Shang Chengjun was leaning against the window with a folding fan in his hand, with a relaxed attitude and a pair of slender eyes with a deep smile.Su Qingchi glanced at this private room, only he, Shang Chengen, and Shang Chengjun were left in the private room, and the rest of them disappeared.

"Don't worry about it, my elder brother has gone out, the others, here." Shang Chengjun twitched his chin downstairs.

Su Qingchi glanced out the window, the Qiu family siblings and Su Baoer were mixing in the crowd, enjoying watching the juggling, and looking away, Su Qingchi looked up and saw Shang Chengjun staring at his neck with great interest.

Enduring the disgust in his heart, Su Qingchi said, "What's the matter with the third young master?"

Shang Chengjun spread his fan and said with a smile, "Can't you stand here without something?"

Su Qingchi ignored him, Shang Chengjun curled his lips, and suddenly raised the fan handle to pick Su Qingchi's chin, "Tsk tsk, Boss Su's name is not good, it should be called Qingcheng."

Su Qingchi slowly pushed aside the fan on his chin, and said in a calm tone, "Third Young Master, please respect yourself."

"Oh?" Shang Chengjun smiled, and slid the fan handle from Su Qingchi's neck into the collar, "What does Boss Su mean by that?"

Su Qingchi turned his head away, "For your elder brother's sake, I have to bear it again and again. If the third young master doesn't restrain himself, don't blame Su for turning his face."

"Tsk tsk, Boss Su's temper..." Shang Chengjun blew into Su Qingchi's ear, "It's really seductive, but I don't know it's on the bed..."

Su Qingchi suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, Shang Chengjun grabbed his wrist with great strength, the corner of Shang Chengjun's mouth curled up, and just as he was leaning over to say something, there were already footsteps on the stairs at the other end.

As soon as his wrist was loosened, Shang Chengjun already waved his fan and took a step back.

"Qingchi, Chengen Chengjun, you really should go down and have a look. Today, there are a lot of acrobats gathered down there, all the way to the Yindian bridge. It's really lively, haha." Shang Chengde took a drink of herbal tea After taking two sips, he said, "The flower boat has already parked on the shore, let's go down quickly, we have to take a good swim in the lake tonight, otherwise it will be a waste of time."

"Brother is still thoughtful." Shang Chengjun waved his fan and smiled nonchalantly.

Shang Chengde smiled, "I have just told Zhongwen and the others that they have already boarded the boat and are waiting for us. The boat has prepared food and wine, and they have specially selected two roasted ducks (roasted ducks), which are freshly grilled over charcoal fire. , it will be gone if you go late."

Shang Chengde secretly blinked at Su Qingchi.

Su Qingchi understands that Shang Chengde takes care of him in everything, but he understands what he feels in his heart, so he can't explain it clearly.

The sentence "If you go late, you'll be gone" sent back the words of refusal in Su Qingchi's throat.

The night is as cool as water, but the other side is brightly lit.

Several people sat around on the boat corridor, ate some food and wine, and cleaned up the two roasted ducks.

The duck is crispy and delicious, fat but not greasy, very gluttonous. Su Baoer was wandering around earlier, and was so hungry that her chest stuck to her back. She was so hungry that she ate her share and stole a duck from Shang Chengde. The leg, like a little rascal, was eaten clean after a few mouthfuls, causing the Qiu brothers and sisters to laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten up, and Shang Chengde also had a look of connivance and helplessness.

After all this playfulness, Su Qingchi's mood improved a lot.

After playing for half a day, several people were a little tired, so Qiu Ling'er and Xiao Bao'er went back to their respective rooms in the cabin, Qiu Zhongwen pulled Shang Chengjun into the room, and Shang Chengen even went to rest early.

Su Qingchi put aside the crowd and sat down alone leaning against the railing, looking at the blurred night scene across the bank.

"What? Are you tired?"

Su Qingchi turned his head and saw that Shang Chengde had already sat down beside him.

He shook his head, "I have been in the capital for so long, and I have never seen such a beautiful night scene."

Shang Chengde looked at the sparkling water surface dyed by the lights on both sides of the bank, and unconsciously turned his gaze back to Su Qingchi.

At this time, Su Qingchi was extremely quiet, with soft and delicate lines on his side face, his shallow eyes seemed to contain a pair of autumn water, his thin lips had a subtle and imperceptible curvature, and his smile was extremely light and shallow, as if the wind was blowing It will be blown away.

The light moonlight was hazy and blurred, Shang Chengde only felt his mood was erratic, and he didn't know if it was because of the wine he had just drunk.

"what happened?"

After not seeing any movement beside her for a long time, Su Qingchi turned his head slowly, his phoenix eyes were stained with a smile.

"Ah?" Shang Chengde suddenly became at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake and was caught upright, and quickly glanced at the lake beside him, "No, it's nothing."

Both cheeks were dyed suspiciously crimson.

Su Qingchi leaned over to Shang Chengde's chest and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "I can smell it, what is it hiding?"

Shang Chengde felt ashamed and blamed himself secretly.

Taking out the things in his arms, Shang Chengde smiled subtly and said, "I saw that you didn't eat much just now, so I left some for you."

When Su Qingchi opened the paper bag, the aroma immediately overflowed. Inside were a few pieces of charred roast duck neatly stacked, still hot, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.The aroma is alluring and tempting.

It was true that Su Qingchi hadn't eaten much before. Firstly, he didn't have much appetite, and secondly, he was in a bad mood, so he ate less.

At this moment, being hooked by the aroma of the roasted duck, Su Qingchi felt his stomach was empty, so he was not as polite as Shang Chengde, and immediately picked up a piece of roasted duck with two fingers and ate it into his mouth.

Shang Chengde's gaze could barely avoid Su Qingchi's slightly rolling Adam's apple, but his face became more red.

"Crispy but not greasy, I'm afraid it was baked with honey." Su Qingchi only felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth, and he was very satisfied after eating.

"Well, I also added [-] flavors of secret sauce, which was shipped from the old store in the east of the city." Shang Chengde was also very happy to see Su Qingchi eating so contentedly.

Before he knew it, he reached out and wiped the sesame seeds from the corner of Su Qingchi's mouth, "He's such a big man, yet he eats like a child."

As soon as these words were finished, the two had a great meal.

The skin on the fingertips is as bright as creamy fat, as clear as icy jade, and the eyes that are close at hand are slanting like autumn water.

The frivolous eyelids drooped slightly, and before he left, the glances turned, and all the charms bloomed, which could win the hearts of all men in the world.

A burst of heat instantly penetrated the internal organs, and Shang Chengde felt that his mind was blank, leaving only those watery eyes and two thin lips.

"The pool..."

With a fiery low call, Shang Chengde leaned forward.

"Brother, are you still up so late?" The icy voice sounded like a splash of ice water falling from the sky.

Shang Chengde retreated far away like an electric shock, his face was dry and his ears were red, red from the base of his ears to his neck, "ah? Ah, Cheng En, cough, it's getting cold tonight, Qingchi, you should rest earlier, I'll go in first gone."

Stumbled into the cabin, ran out again, and stuffed the paper bag in Su Qingchi's hand.

"Second Young Master has been standing for so long, his legs and feet are probably sore." Su Qingchi glanced at him lightly.

"You know I've been here?" Shang Chengen narrowed his eyes.

"If you put away all your hostility, I wouldn't notice it." Su Qingchi stood up, "This is a cool breeze and bright moon, and the scenery is very good. Since the second young master is interested in admiring the moon, Su will not disturb you."

Just as Su Qingchi was about to leave, his wrist was grabbed by someone, the strength was so great that his face immediately turned pale.

Shang Chengen's indifferent eyes turned slowly, and the other party raised his handsome eyebrows, "Stay away from my elder brother."

"Second Young Master is pestering Su so much, could it be that he is also thinking about Su?" Su Qingchi's mouth curled up with a provocative expression.

Shang Chengen frowned slightly, but Su Qingchi let out a muffled groan, then gritted his teeth and said, "Why, if I strangle you during the day, you will get back twice as much at night? Heh, you are worthy of being born in a merchant's family, Su admires you."

Shang Chengen snorted coldly, with a cold arc on the corner of his mouth, "I've already said what I said, I advise you to take care of yourself."

After saying that, he let go and turned to leave.

Before entering the cabin, he suddenly stopped, "It's better that the marks on your body were not left by my elder brother, and you don't want to push the dirty things done by other wild men on my elder brother, otherwise... …you!"

With a smile on the corner of Su Qingchi's mouth, he clapped his hands and gathered his clothes together, "What about me?"

Shang Chengen's face was livid, and he looked down at the black satin shoe that hit the back of his head just now, his face twitched with anger, "Troublemaker."

"Praise." Su Qingchi smiled charmingly.

"Hmph!" Shang Chengen shook his sleeves angrily and left.

The bow of the boat was empty, and the smile on Su Qingchi's face faded away.

The night was cold, and the cold wind was blowing on his body, which made him feel bone-piercing. Su Qingchi stood on the bow of the boat with one bare foot, watching the noisy and complicated night markets on both sides of the river. , The lamp is disabled and people are tired, so they stand for most of the night.

When he finally felt cold, he entered the cabin with his arms folded.

The next day, at the fifth watch, before the sky was lit, Su Qingchi led the sleepy Su Baoer out of the city gate with the first group of people who left the city.

Shang Chengde didn't sleep well last night, but woke up very early. After washing up, he went to knock on Su Qingchi's door, but there was no answer after knocking for a long time. When he opened it, it was already empty.

After sending the brothers and sisters of the Qiu family back to the Qiu Mansion, Shang Chengde hurried to Chunqin Garden, but the people in Chunqin Garden said that Su Qingchi had left Chunqin Garden early in the morning, Shang Chengde only thought that Su Qingchi had gone out, so he separated Another day.

"Master Shang, don't look for him anymore, Boss Su already left yesterday."

"Gone? Where is he going?"

"Master Shang, you probably didn't understand. What I mean is that Boss Su is no longer singing in Chunqin Garden. He didn't say where he went, and everything in the room was also emptied." Old She took a picture. His face was wrinkled into a ball, full of pain and regret.

"Hey, you said it's good. Master Liu almost didn't kneel down to him yesterday. He just didn't sing here. You said this, alas... It's also because Master Liu and Boss You bully you so much. The other morning, Boss Su and Boss You fought like that..."

Old Shetou was still rambling.

Shang Chengde didn't listen to a single word, he just felt his brain buzzing.
