The actors on the stage were babbling and singing, and the woman playing the role of the persecuted singer was even more miserable and weeping. Lin Yuanyu felt the same, and her eyes became red again and again, but she suppressed them with deep breaths each time.
No more crying. No more crying.
At the end of the half, Lin Yunyu raised her eyes to suppress her emotions. After she stabilized, she turned around, sat next to Lu Mingyu, and ate cakes with warm tea.
"Does it look good?" Lu Mingyu noticed her slightly stuffy nasal voice and poured her a glass of fruit wine to her mouth: "If you feel bitter, drink something sweet. It's not intoxicating."
Lin Wanyu was stunned, remembering that during family banquets in the past, her mother would prepare sweet fruit wine for them, saying that it was just right for the little girls to drink, and it would also beautify their skin, and they would be sweet and charming in the future...
The warm and sweet liquid slipped into her mouth. Lin Wanyu felt that the bitterness lingering in her throat was relieved, and she said softly: "Thank you."
Although he spoke softly, Lu Mingyu still caught it and smiled with relief.
Fortunately, this girl is quite tough-minded.
Di Wuji and Gao Tong looked at each other, stopped talking, and happily drank with Lu Mingyu.
"A Yu, I heard that your mistress is proposing a marriage for you, and she has fallen in love with several young ladies from merchant families who are just starting out." Gao Tong, besides studying and drinking, his biggest hobby is gossip. As long as he wants to find out the news, he will There is nothing that cannot be inquired about.
The three brothers are already close to being weak. It is normal for the family to discuss marriage. However, it is common knowledge in the city that Lu Mingyu has taken in concubines all over the house in the past few years. Coupled with his reputation as a playboy and a lothario, there are almost no good families. Willing to marry him.
His stepmother also gave up her thoughts. She had been silent for more than a year. Then she suddenly made a move, probably for some reason.
Lu Mingyu snorted coldly: "Her twists and turns are nothing to be afraid of."
"But you have to be on guard." Although Di Wuji looks tall and thick, he is surprisingly delicate in his thoughts, "You should be more concerned about your marriage. She chooses those small families for you, just to suppress you. "
Lu Mingyu sneered: "Tell me who you chose."
Gao Tong was very enthusiastic when it came to mentioning this name. He gave out a string of names just like the names of dishes, and finally stopped at one name: "Gao Qiong, the concubine of a branch of our Gao family, tsk tsk, I don't know what she is thinking." He actually wants to marry our Gao family."
"What's so special about Gao Qiong?" Lu Mingyu had been planning to get his mother's dowry back from Lin Jinlan. Since she was about to hit her head-on, he would just accept her move.
Gao Tong shook his head. He never paid attention to the trivial matters in the back house. His cousins disagreed with his decision to study poetry and books and refused to take over the family business. They thought that money was the most important thing, but they didn't know that they were studying on their own. No, it's just an excuse for myself.
Therefore, Gao Tong didn't have any close brothers or sisters in the Gao family, and he didn't even understand Gao Qiong's character.
"But! I actually went to inquire about it. I heard that Gao Qiong went to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings. He lost it for a day and a night. They did not dare to tell anyone for fear of damaging the reputation of the girl's family. They found it the next day. This I won’t be able to find out what happened in the meantime, otherwise I will appear to be too nosy.”
"Years ago?" Lu Mingyu remembered that Lin Jinlan also went to Jing'an Temple a year ago and stayed for two days before returning home. Lu Shengming seemed a little absent-minded during those few days... Could it be related?
"Okay, I have a guess in my mind. Once it is confirmed, I will treat you to a drink with Yunchun!" Lu Mingyu knew very well the temperament of his eldest brother, as well as Lin Jinlan's doting and connivance on his sons. If Lu Shengming really did something Lin Jinlan would definitely help cover up any immoral things.
As for Gao Qiong, it is unclear whether it was a coincidence or deliberate calculation.
Lin Wanyu was not interested at all in what the three brothers were talking about. She was still thinking about the contents of the playbook just now. She imagined that she was the character in that playbook. How should she take revenge against an enemy like Zhao Changsu?
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound in the dark sky outside the window, and it exploded high up. Colorful fireworks were embroidered on the black night like embroidery. When they were about to fade away, they exploded again. Another one opened.
The huge night sky is brilliant and extraordinary.
Lin Wanyu sat closest to the window. She instinctively raised her head to admire the beautiful scene. The colorful light reflected her side face like a dream, as if the stars scattered in the sky spread around her, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Di Wuji saw this in his eyes, pursed his lips and whispered to Lu Mingyu: "Your old man must have unkind intentions."
Lu Mingyu clicked his tongue and shook his head in agreement. Thinking of the information he had tortured from Yu Yan's mouth a few days ago, he suddenly felt that maybe it would be faster to ask him directly?
"What's your name?" Lu Mingyu asked a very silly question.
Lin Wanyu was stunned, thinking that Bai Lu had always called her surname "Lin", and also thought that the surname "Lin" might not be announced now, for fear of causing disaster, so she paused and said along the way: "Lin Wanyu, Shuangmulin."
She emphasized it, but after saying it, she felt unnatural. She was afraid of giving clues, so she immediately lowered her head to hide the embarrassment in her eyes.
"Hey, you and your mother are from the same family!" Gao Tong joked, raising his eyebrows at Lu Mingyu.
Lu Mingyu narrowed his eyes. "Lin" was indeed the surname of his biological mother Lin Haitang, but he also checked that among the officials who suffered disaster among the dissidents in the court purge, and the seriousness of which was so serious that the whole family wanted to be executed or exiled, there was no Lin family. Instead, a fifth-rank Hanlin named Lin was promoted to fourth rank.
She was lying, or in other words, she was afraid of exposing her true identity.
"Speaking of Lin, we have to mention the Prime Minister. Once all the loyal and loyal people in the family died, I wonder if someone would collect their bodies and build tombs for them?"
As soon as Lu Mingyu mentioned the Prime Minister, Lin Wanyu's expression immediately froze, and she turned her body away to avoid Lu Mingyu's gaze, leaving only her back, like a little turtle that only shrinks back into its shell when it encounters danger, hiding in a corner, unwilling to let go of its weakness. The place is shown to outsiders.
Gao Tong didn't know why Lu Mingyu mentioned Lin Xiang again and was so blunt, but it didn't stop him from regretting one after another and complaining about Lin's injustice.
"Okay, we are all small people. No matter how hard you say it, you can't change the decision of the superior. On the contrary, your whole family may be punished because of your words. It is better to mention it less in the future and swallow all the injustices." Di Wuji Traveling all over the country, I know that people without background are very likely to get into trouble because of their quick words, so they behave differently from the flamboyant Gao Tong.
Gao Tong naturally understood this truth and just shrugged, but he was still dissatisfied.
Lu Mingyu did not mention Lin Xiang for discussion, but quietly observed Lin Wanyu's reaction. Unexpectedly, a crystal teardrop, shining under the light of the fireworks, fell on the back of her white hand... She was crying.
He knew the content of the playbook in the audience. The reason why the audience was full of guests was the ups and downs and tear-jerking plot and interpretation. Lin Wanyu had just finished watching the first half without crying. She just shed tears after hearing one sentence of Prime Minister Lin.
Lin, Lin.
He thought he had the answer.
He knew very well the experiences of the bad old man in his family when he was young: the concubine of the Lu family, a prominent figure in the capital, had been raised in the countryside. When he mentioned it again, he did not hold on to the wealth of the Lu family, but instead relied on his loneliness and courage to fight with her. After that, he cut off his family ties and came to Qiantang to fight for his current family business.
After all, Lu Zhang was nominally King Xuan's uncle and Concubine Rong's worthless brother.
I'm afraid that Lin's daughter was sent to Qiantang because she took the path of a Rong concubine... I heard that Lin's daughter had been engaged to Prince Xuan since she was a child. Prince Xuan failed to seize the throne and fled to the north, so he sent his fiancée to him as a playboy. Concubine?
Really outrageous!
Once the noble girl had fallen to this point, Lu Mingyu felt regretful in his heart but did not show it on his face. He raised a stone and pointed to the stall selling desserts along the street under the window: "Bring back some candied dates."
? ?
Shi Shi was confused. When did the young master like to eat sweets?
Although he didn't understand, he obediently bought a pack of candied dates and brought them up, and then Lu Mingyu stuffed them into the arms of Lin Wanyu, who had just calmed down.
"The second half is about to begin, let's have something sweet." Lu Mingyu saw through it without saying anything.
Lin Wanyu didn't know why Lu Mingyu always wanted to eat sweet things by himself. He felt bitter in his heart. Is it useful to eat sweet things on his lips? What is the difference between painting plum blossoms to quench thirst?
It’s just self-deception.
But even though she thought so, Lin Wanyu still obediently took the candied dates and watched the second half.
The ending is very tragic. Although the protagonist succeeded in revenge, she also lost the partner who accompanied her in revenge, and she herself chose to go to hell with her family and friends!
Maybe, this will be her ending in the future?
Originally, he led Lin Wanyu out to show off her beauty in front of her brothers. Secondly, he didn't want her to become depressed and sick. It was always good to go out for a walk. However, Lin Wanyu always lowered her head when she came out of Yunxiang Tower. Head, still holding half-eaten candied dates in his hand.
Gao Tong and Di Wuji recognized their interests and said goodbye as soon as they left the house, leaving them some space to be alone.
"Do you want to visit the Qiantang Night Market?" Lu Mingyu touched his nose and put on Lin Wanyu's hat.
Her vision suddenly became hazy and she couldn't see clearly, but looking at the lively and colorful street market was indeed more attractive than her silence, where she could even hear a bug jumping in the grass.
Seeing Lin Wanyu nodding, Lu Mingyu consciously took her little hand and led her the way. If he saw any novel gadgets, he would buy them all for her and let the stone hold them behind.
"I'm tired, let's rest for a while."
After recovering from a serious illness, Lin Wanyu walked the most tonight.
"Candied haws~~The last one~~~"
The old man selling candied haws on a stick slowly walked towards his home, always picking up the last one. If he couldn't sell it, it would be cheaper for the children at home.
"You want to eat?" Lu Mingyu felt Lin Wanyu's pause and turned around to see her staring closely at the candied haws, her head turning around.
There was no way, how could Lu Mingyu reject the little girl's little expectations?
Finally, Lu Mingyu held hands with Lin Wanyu. Lin Wanyu was holding candied haws in his hand, while the half bag of candied dates and a bunch of things were in Shi Shi's arms. There were so many Shi Shi that he had to stretch his neck to see the road ahead.
It was getting late at night, and many vendors had left their stalls to go home. Lu Mingyu sent Shi Shi to find his carriage, and the two of them found a place to squat and wait.
Lin Wanyu looked at the candied haws in her hand, and her mind was full of the scene in the past when she pestered her brother to buy it for herself, but her brother said that it was so greasy that her teeth hurt, and told her not to eat more, and that she could only eat it on special days.
Today was her birthday, and she could eat candied haws, but her brother was gone.
"Don't want to eat?" Lu Mingyu saw Lin Yunyu staring at the candied haws, as if missing someone else through the candied haws.
Lin Wanyu's fingertips holding the candied haws turned white. After a few breaths, she slowly relaxed. She shook her head: "I won't eat it anymore. It makes my tooth hurt..."
