A conversation with Mrs. Xu made Qiao Yuyan feel cold.
She didn't know how powerful the Seventh Prince was, nor how strong he was now.
But she firmly believes that the current Holy Emperor is not an incompetent person. It is only a matter of time before these places in the south are pacified. So what will the Xu family face then?
With such a mood, when I look at the lush trees and pavilions in Xujiayuan's house, I feel that they are all phantoms, as if they may turn into ashes in the next moment.
In such a mood, Qiao Yuyan felt a little unmotivated when Xu Lu asked her to go out and play around again.
"Oh! They say that when a woman gets married, she turns into a fish-eyed girl. Don't be like this."
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of story book did you hear this from?"
Xu Lu was indignant and said, "Don't tell me any lies. If you stay at home like this, I really think you have fish eyes. Let's go. Fortunately, your uncle is not here either."
, when you go to the capital tomorrow, it will be rare for us to be together again."
I have to say that Xu Lu is still the most comfortable. She never has to worry about the big or small things at home. All she thinks about every day is eating, drinking and having fun. If she came from a boy's family, she would definitely be a playboy.
However, the Xu family has always been like this. The requirements for girls are much looser than for boys. Mrs. Xu always feels that the girl's family is only happy in the years before they get married. Once they get married, there will be countless worries.
Here it comes.
Therefore, the girls in the family are not allowed to be too restrained, and they are allowed to live happily every day.
The same was true for Qiao Yuyan in the past. She and Xu Lu had a relationship that was born out of playing together.
"Today Chunxi Class is holding a meeting in Lixiangyuan. You will regret it if you don't go!"
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "You still care about this!"
"What do you know! The Chunxi troupe has not been out and about for many years. It is said that it was bought by a certain high official before, and the whole troupe bought it together. But it must be a rumor, otherwise it would not be out now.
, hurry up!"
While talking, she threw Qiao Yuyan's clothes into Xing'er's hands, and then hurriedly picked out jewelry on the dressing table, "You've managed to get better after two years in the capital. You have to dress up well, otherwise it will be too much."
It’s wasted.”
It was rare that she was in such a good mood, so Qiao Yuyan had to suppress the annoyance in her heart for the time being and let her few maids clean her up and down.
With her constant urging beside them, within half an hour, the two sisters got on the carriage leaving the house.
Lixiang Garden is not far away. In the past, the two of them would sneak out of the house from time to time to listen to plays there. Sometimes the adults didn't know it. The two of them didn't dare to disturb anyone, nor did they dare to go to the carriage house to ask for a carriage, so they just went together.
walk over
I didn't even feel tired at that time, I seemed to have endless energy.
But I didn't understand opera before, so I went over to join in the fun just to see the actresses on the stage, and also to have something to talk about when I got together with other girls.
As he spoke, the carriage arrived. As soon as he saw Xu Lu's face, the shopkeeper burst into laughter, "The Xu family girl is here, come on, come on, please come upstairs, this is..."
Halfway through, he patted his head and said: "Look at me, I almost didn't recognize you, cousin? It's been a long time since I last saw you. You've come to the right place today. There's someone from Chunxi class here today."
Play!"
Qiao Yuyan smiled and thanked her, and went upstairs with Xu Lu.
In Jiangzhou, Lixiang Garden is the largest theater. The courtyard they came to today is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is for dignitaries, and the rooms above are separated by bamboo curtains.
The box has no door and faces the stage directly below the stage.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Doctor Tea brought tea and snacks, and he also diligently handed over today's playbook.
But that's the good thing about Jiangzhou. After all, it's a small place and doesn't have as many rules as the capital. For example, when they come out like this, they don't have to put a power fence over their heads when facing people from outside. They can just show their faces and no one will.
say what.
Just like this, Qiao Yuyan's appearance naturally attracted a lot of overt or covert looks.
She must have been in the capital for a long time, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it, but Xu Lu responded to Yourong, "Look, you have such a pretty face, but you don't know how to use it. If I were you, I would be able to show off in the streets every day.
"
Qiao Yuyan couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
But Xu Lu spoke plausibly, "I'm really not talking nonsense, it's just a pity that you really got married young, otherwise you couldn't help but choose among the many good men in Jiangzhou!"
She was a melon seller, and the more she praised her, the more energetic she got. Qiao Yuyan quickly asked her to stop, "The show is about to start, and you haven't finished singing yet, otherwise you can just go on stage and sing with them later."
After finally talking her down, Xu Lu finally had a moment to start eating quietly, when a person suddenly stopped outside the box.
The man paused for a long time, causing both Qiao Yuyan and Xu Lu to notice something strange, and raised their eyes to look at him.
"It's really you Xu Lu!"
As soon as Xu Lu saw the person coming, her face showed a bit of boredom, but she had to try hard to smile, "You're here too!"
Qiao Yuyan took a closer look and found that he was still an acquaintance.
If her memory hadn't been too far away, she would have been able to tell it at first glance.
It’s just this person…
Qiao Yuyan glanced at Xu Lu helplessly. Sure enough, she was as helpless as herself.
"You have the nerve to say that! Today, everyone heard that the Chunxi class was coming, and they all wanted to book a private room like crazy. You knew it, but you didn't even tell us in advance, and you didn't spend two or three times the price just now.
I bought this box from someone else."
Qiao Yuyan then remembered that she seemed to have heard a long time ago that the Chunxi Class in Jiangzhou had shares of the Xu family.
It's just that as time passed, she actually forgot about this matter. Now when she heard this man's words, she knew that this was probably the reason.
Xu Lu could only show an embarrassed smile, "If my cousin hadn't come back, I wouldn't have expected to come to the theater, and I wouldn't have known that Chunxi Class was coming today. It really wasn't my intention."
At this time, a few more young girls came up from below and immediately mingled with the women outside their box.
The woman at the beginning said directly to Xu Lu: "You have good news but didn't tell us, then you can't be stingy and don't even give us anything!"
