After accompanying Lin Wan for shopping and watching movies, and a trip to an amusement park and Haicheng Republic of China Film and Television City, Lin Wan finally went back to work.
…
"Come on, Lu Lang, I'm waiting for you!"
Lao Huang had already pulled the carriage to the gate of Liu's house. Two little girls had climbed into the carriage and started collecting snacks. The other girls were still waiting for Lu Zheng under the carriage.
"Come on, come on!"
Lu Zheng waved his hand, carried the skirt of his robe down the steps, and came to the car.
Today is the tenth day off. Fortunately, Lin Wan went to work, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange the time.
"Go! Go! I can't wait!" Yan Hongxia urged.
Ao Qi also looked forward to it, because today the girls were going to perform "Butterfly Lovers" for them.
In the past few days, in addition to competing with Lu Zheng and shopping with the girls, they had also read the "Butterfly Lovers" picture book copied by Liu Qingyan, and listened to Lu Zheng play a song, which was really beautiful.
So I’m looking forward to today’s performance.
When everyone got on the carriage, Lao Huang raised his whip and said "Have a ride" before driving the carriage to Taohuaping in the south of the city.
There were a total of eight people in the car, including the two little girls, but because Lu Zheng had a RV in mind when he made this carriage, there was a lot of space. Even with so many people now, it was still not crowded at all.
…
Eating hot pot and singing songs, no, eating snacks and chatting, everyone soon arrived at Taohuaping. When they arrived at Taohuazhuang, they discovered that not only Hua Yixing and others had arrived, but also the Lushui River God Li Hanyu's mother and daughter also arrived.
Shen Ying is now able to move around freely. She personally invited Li Hanyu and her daughter, who are senior May friends.
When they saw Lu Zheng and his party, before Lu Zheng could say hello, Mrs. Li took Li Hanyu and bowed to Ao Qi first.
"I have met His Highness Ao Qi!"
"I have met His Highness Ao Qian!"
"Ouch!?"
"Hurry up and forgive me. You are already an official in Dajing, so you don't need to be so polite."
Ao Qi stepped forward to help, and then Li Hanyu and her daughter got up.
Li Hanyu explained to everyone, "My father used to work in the territory of the Qinglong tribe, and later he entered the Dajing Dynasty as the Lushui River God. When he left the East China Sea according to the order a hundred years ago, there was no me."
Mrs. Li answered, "I remember that when my husband and I left, we went to Qinglong Palace to say goodbye, and we met His Highness Ao Qi at that time."
Ao Qi nodded, "I still have an impression."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect that the Lushui River God actually came from the Qinglong Clan. Is the relationship between Da Jing Dynasty and the East China Sea Dragon Clan so good?
But when I think about it, I feel relieved.
The Da Jing Dynasty was dominated by humans, who mainly lived on land. The demons in the East China Sea were basically aquatic people. Even if they transformed into demons, their caves were all in the water.
There is no conflict of interest between the two, so of course it is easy for them to come together, not to mention that this is obviously a matter of mutual benefit.
Of course, Donghai is not cooperating with the Jing Dynasty, but with the Central Plains Dynasty. When the dynasty changes internally, they will not take action.
…
Everyone had met each other and entered the village hand in hand. Lu Zheng followed and looked around, and suddenly found that one person was missing.
"Eh? Brother Zhu isn't here?" Lu Zheng asked.
Li Hanyu sighed helplessly and said quietly, "My husband said that he won't go out before the exam this year, and his practice has been suspended. We will wait until the state exam is over."
Lu Zheng, "..."
Liu Qingyan could not help but laugh out loud, "Brother Zhu, are you too nervous?"
Lu Zheng didn't dare to speak, because the reason why Zhu Yushan missed the exam last year seemed to have something to do with him.
Li Hanyu said helplessly, "Forget it, it's up to him, it only lasts a few months."
What could Liu Qingyan say? She could only nod her head in response, "It will definitely be possible this year!"
Li Hanyu expressed her gratitude, "Yeah!"
The two women looked at each other, and for some reason, they both felt guilty.
Li Hanyu, "Haha..."
Liu Qingyan, "Haha..."
Everyone, "..."
Ao Qi was confused and asked, "Hanyu is already married? What happened to her husband?"
In order to avoid embarrassment to Li Hanyu and her daughter, Shen Ying hurriedly stepped forward to catch the conversation, and then explained in a low voice.
"hiss--"
Yan Hongxia heard everything closely and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is so unlucky!"
Everyone, "..."
Li Hanyu and her daughter were even more embarrassed.
"Ahem!"
Ao Qi grabbed Yan Hongxia and then decisively changed the subject, "Have you read "Butterfly Lovers" written by Brother Lu?"
Li Hanyu nodded repeatedly, "I read it. Sister Ying brought a copy when she came to Heshen Mansion a few days ago. My mother and I read it. The story is really good!"
Mrs. Li also nodded, "My husband and I sometimes go ashore to visit the city. There are no such good shows in the theater in Yizhou Prefecture."
Li Hanyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Qingyan and the others to actually rehearse a show. I'm going to enjoy it today."
Mrs. Li said, "Exactly!"
…
Using Peach Blossom Village as a link, people who had not known each other before got to know each other again. Wang Xiaowan, who came with Lu Zheng, also joined the circle. Lu Zheng finally had one more human friend around him.
only……
Zhu Yushan didn't come, so Lu Zheng looked around and suddenly realized that all the people present were women.
This made Lu Zheng consider whether to call Hou Ping, who had been helping at the Peach Blossom Temple, otherwise a group of warblers would make him look like an emperor with a harem.
But think about it, forget it, Hou Ping is not interested in listening to the opera, and even if he comes, he looks like an obedient eunuch, standing next to him, which probably makes him more like an emperor.
So, with Lu Zheng as the C seat, the girls who were not participating in the acting sat in a row, with prepared dried fruits, snacks and drinks in front of them.
Opposite them is the theater stage under the old peach tree.
At this time, the stage was shrouded in peach blossom evil spirits. After a while, the mist gradually dissipated, revealing the illusion of a manor interior.
Mr. Zhu played by Shen Ying and Zhu Yingtai played by Liu Qingyan were the first to appear.
The indoor environment is lifelike and the character performances are vivid. It is obvious that after a period of improvement, the girls have perfected this drama even better.
…
As the butterfly chapter of "Butterfly Lovers" played in the courtyard, the stage turned into the sky. Two pink butterflies played with each other in the sky, flying higher and higher, and finally disappeared. The opera finally came to an end.
"Bah, bang, bang!" Applause rang out.
"Butterfly Lovers" is also a classic that has been circulated for thousands of years in China, and of course it will shine with its own glory in the Jing Dynasty.
Although it is only circulated in a small circle at this time, everyone knows what is good, and of course they will not let her down.
"What a song, "Butterfly", what a song, "Butterfly Lovers"!" Ao Qi applauded.
"What a great performance!" Yan Hongxia burst into tears and choked with sobs.
Li Hanyu and her son were also deeply moved, and it also started a discussion that everyone has to have after watching "Butterfly Lovers".
"Why didn't anyone take action?"
"Is turning into a butterfly a foreign method?"
"What will happen to them in the future!?"
…
After listening to "Butterfly Lovers", it was noon and we had lunch at Peach Blossom Village. In the afternoon, everyone had free time.
Li Hanyu and her daughter went to the mahjong table, Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan took a few peach blossoms to play checkers together, others played musical instruments, others played calligraphy and painting, and Yan Hongxia started her own carving entertainment again.
In addition, they went on an outing to enjoy flowers, chat over wine, try their hand at embroidery, and discuss opera, to name a few.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were sitting under a peach tree, being invisible, when Ao Qi came to the door.
Ao Qi was still resentful about not being able to gain the upper hand in competitions with Lu Zheng. She was the proud daughter of the Qinglong clan and she had to beat Lu Zheng in some aspect.
"I heard that Brother Lu is very good at chess." Ao Qi smiled confidently, "How about we talk about a game?"
