Chapter 39 Lotus

The 100,000 mountains are southward, and the climate is suitable for Qiling Kingdom, and the resources are extremely abundant, which includes several scenic spots. The most famous one is called Caixiantan. It is said that there was an unparalleled general who fell into the lotus pond when he was young, and he was not water-free and almost drowned here. Fortunately, the huge lotus leaves were automatically lifted out of the water without wind, and a child weighing sixty or seventy pounds was forced to lift out the water. Only then did he get a life under the nose of the King of Hell. The young man was quite grateful and came to see this lotus leaf when he returned home every year. The strange thing is that the lotus leaf never bloomed until the child grew into a handsome and healthy young man.

When he made great achievements on the battlefield, he was only when he was awarded a general's name, a beautiful lotus bloomed. I don't know what evil this powerful general was. After returning home, he stayed by the lotus pond, staring at the lotus pond without thinking about food and food. One day, the lotus flowers withered, and the young general took out a beautiful beauty from the bottom of the lotus leaves. He gave birth to fairy skin and jade bones, and the fierce general married the woman. The two of them stayed together and flew together. This lotus beach was named Caixian. Of course, it was just a legend, but it still attracted countless literati and poets to write poems and sigh near the lotus pond, and naturally it was passed on to the general and became famous for a while.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles have mansions in the mountains not far from Qiling Pass. They are located near Caixian Beach, which is naturally a place to enjoy the heat and cold. After a while, this mountain that was originally rarely visited is now quite lively. Needless to say, merchants traveling from south to north, literati and scholars who love the mountains and rivers and swords, and gangs carrying swords and swords on their backs are either here to enjoy the scenery or to seek good omens, hoping that they can also rise to the top like the legendary general and win both their love.

It is said to be a tourist destination, but in fact it is a lotus pond that is ten feet square. The lotus flowers are not very prosperous, but they seem to be delicate and easy to die. Some people pointed out that the lotus that gave birth to fairies absorbed the fortune of the lotus pond, and it may not be able to ease in the next hundred years. There are many different opinions, and they all hope that their own theory will surpass others. As the saying goes, literati are not just talking nonsense. And that piece has long passed with the wind and turned into ashes in the years of flowing water. So later generations set up a white marble sculpture in the location recorded in ancient books and biographies to leave it to future generations to mourn and admire it. It is actually a gimmick.

The powerful and powerful people entered one after another, which naturally attracted countless styles of martial arts that rely on their skills to make a living. First, they were generous and sang at the bridge. They might have attracted those who spent a lot of money and donated dozens of taels of silver at random. It is not uncommon for this group of officials who earned their salary and received tribute. For dozens of taels of music, they could not find a musician in Xiaoyulou. But in the eyes of this group of artists, this was enough to cope with the next half year of food, clothing, housing and transportation. As a result, countless performers, and even dozens of people, were crowded in this mountain nest full of gold and jade, and could not leave without being beaten or scolded.

It is said to be a noble family, but in fact, except for the elderly officials, there are very few holidays. Putting aside the seasonal gifts and leave, it is just a fragmented holiday for weddings and funerals. From one day to five days, there are not many time to go out for fun. Therefore, most of the people living here are relatives of senior officials, or famous prostitutes who secretly communicate with songs. Therefore, in this place, there are only a lot of noble people like watching the world, playing monkeys and shattering big stones on their chests.

There are many opera troupes, and there must be a division between the main and the second. They are all opera performers. They can't say that the emperor takes turns to come to my house next year and competes secretly, but instead falls behind. They are all actors who make money, and no one can make the same money. So a few years ago, an old senior was elected from many opera troupes, divided each opera troupe into four grades A, B, C, and D. A took the stage the most times, followed by B, and so on, and compare it every five years to determine the order of the next few years.

Qinghe Garden is one of these more than 30 opera troupes. They are located in the courtyard on the west edge of Caixiantan. They are ranked at Dingdu, which belongs to the most secondary category. They have only played on stage in a year, and they are not too bad in opera. There are too few people in the staff and many operas cannot be sung. Just a few sections of Xiaoling, the popularity has dropped a lot. There are only five operas in the troupe, two men and one woman, and three half-boys who have not learned their skills. Life is difficult, and relying on those two stages and help to manage the backstage, we can barely survive.

The headmaster is a very feminine man with a pretty straight facial features, but his face is a bit weird. He always has powdered powder all year round, and is surprisingly white. Another young man is much more solid, and his face is just a dodgy and not outstanding. As for the woman, he is the headmaster's wife, who is very good at singing a flower actress. In the past few years, he has a slight attitude of showing off all the fragrances. Most of the people who watch them on stage are for this flower actress. Not only are they handsome, but their singing style is lively and cheerful. It can be said that the money earned by Qingheyuan

, Big Head is because of her. But in recent months, this woman has stopped on stage, and there are some rumors in the troupe, saying that this woman was attracted by wealthy families and forced the Qingheyuan class owner to write a divorce book. Huanhuan ran to other people's houses to be a concubine wearing gold and silver. The troupes said they were singing opera together to make life, but in fact they were in harmony, and the troupes were clearly divided, not to mention walking around each other, and the head master never came forward to refute the rumors and explain, so whether these news was true or false, no one knew the root of it.

"It's cool at night, add more bedding." The man's gentle voice sounded in the courtyard, especially bright in the quiet moonlight. At this time, the man was sitting on a chair and fiddling with the carbon fire. The fire was facing him, and the snow-white dough also turned into a two-part blood color, but the sweat beads kept flowing down, like walking beads. The location is not like the upper level, slightly south, and the weather is hotter than the hotter ones. Many wealthy women changed into gauze clothes, but the carbon fire burned vigorously in the house in Qinghe Garden.

"Husband, don't burn it. It's inevitable that some crux of the heat will come to you. If the anger hits your throat and your throat is over, how can you go on stage in a few days? Fortunately, I'm not cold at all under such quilts." The clear voice of the woman at the bedside came, saying that she was not cold, but when she heard it carefully, even if she tried her best to cover it up, the tremor in her speech could not be concealed.

The man stood up, sat down beside the woman's bed, touched the woman's half of her head, and remained silent.
