Jia Baoyu was also not used to Xue Pan's behavior. He felt that he had offended Liu Xianglian, but he couldn't say it directly.
Just as the two pots of wine were finished, Jia Baoyu wanted to call Mingyan to get the wine.
The boy who brought the wine smiled and said, "Mingyan said his mother asked him to go home."
"Then let Wang Rong go!"
"Well, Brother Wang is afraid that he won't be able to go..."
Jia Baoyu's patience ran out, he slapped the table and stood up angrily: "Okay, you guys, I rarely go out on weekdays, but now I just give you a few orders, and you just push back and forth, and you are more generous than the master!"
Naturally, Jia Baoyu had reason to be angry. He had a long entourage and a bunch of servants, all of whom were prepared to serve him when he went out.
But he rarely goes out, and these people just get paid for free. Now he wants them to get a pot of wine, and he actually dares to shirk?
Sao Hong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Second Master, please calm down. It turns out that today the Marquis is selecting soldiers in the yard over there, and Brother Wang also went to try.
I heard that the Marquis asked them to run around the horse trail thirty times, and they all fell down from exhaustion, so they went back to rest..."
"Thirty laps?"
Jia Baoyu's anger subsided. He also went to play on the horse racing track in the East Cross Courtyard. He knew how long the horse racing track was. Let alone thirty laps, he was afraid that he would not be able to run even ten laps.
Of course, he, Jia Baoyu, is a handsome, elegant and good young man, so how could he imitate his clay legs and run around on his feet!
Hearing that Saohong was still explaining to Jia Baoyu, Liu Xianglian next to him suddenly looked at her and asked curiously: "As early as last year on the way to Beijing, I always heard the heroic story of the Marquis of your house. I thought that today Maybe I'm lucky enough to be able to meet him, but I don't want to never see him again."
Before Jia Baoyu could explain, Xue Pan had already dragged his stool closer to Liu Xianglian and said with a smile: "Speaking of Brother Lian, that's natural! But, he and we are not the same people. They used to be in Dongfu When Brother Zhen was still here, we would often get together to have drinks. We sent people to invite him many times, but he never came.
He's not good at actors or actresses either. I've never heard of him having a good relationship with a famous actor from any troupe...
But, if it’s Xiao Liu’er, things will be different for you. With your appearance, it’s not difficult to see him if you want to.”
Liu Xianglian resisted her evil thoughts and looked to the other side.
Since when he had friends with his peers, most people would call him "Brother Liu". Even the elders would usually call him "Erlang Liu". Only those who regarded him as a guest in the romantic field would call him "Brother Liu". I will call it "Little Willow".
In the past, Jia Zhen called him like this. Who would have thought that this Xue Pan was much more vulgar than Jia Zhen. Not only did she call him Xiao Liu, but she also added a disgusting ending!
Lai Shangrong was afraid that Xue Pan would completely offend him, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Don't listen to Uncle Xue's nonsense. Second Uncle Lian is only inconvenient to attend such occasions because the eldest man in the house is still in mourning."
Liu Xianglian nodded casually, and when she saw that Jia Baoyu was about to go get some wine, she stood up and said, "The class leader also begged me to perform two scenes, so I'll excuse you now. You all have a good time."
Jia Baoyu showed reluctance, but he knew that Liu Xianglian was not from this troupe and did not need to be restrained by the troupe leader. He was about to persuade him to stay, but Liu Xianglian handed over his hand and left directly.
When I got outside, I stopped a waiter and asked for directions, then returned to the troupe. Under the happy arrangement of the stage leader, I performed two more plays before going back behind the curtain to take off my makeup and powder.
Unexpectedly, Xue Pan came over again and praised his performance on stage just now.
Liu Xianglian didn't have time to pay attention to him. She was thinking about leaving later and gathering with Jia Baoyu and others to see the opportunity. She didn't want to feel a hot palm temperature coming from her chin. Before he could react, she
His head has been turned to the other side by someone.
A big, white, fat, not ugly, but wretched face quietly came into view.
"you!
"
Liu Xianglian was furious and stood up immediately. She wanted to take the sword hanging on the wall next to her and kill the officer with one strike.
After all, I was worried that he was a family friend of the Jia family, so I didn't dare to make any move.
"Uh, Xiaoliu, why are you so indifferent to others? It's a rare sight today. I've ordered people to prepare a wine show. Later, I also want to invite you to your house to sit down and let the two of us have a chat about our friendship.
Don’t worry, although my family is not as good as their Jia family, in terms of wealth, it is not far behind. When the time comes, I will definitely give you a generous performance fee, so that you don’t have to work so hard to perform on stage..."
It's not that Xue Pan couldn't see that Liu Xianglian was dissatisfied with him, but he often hung out in Fengyuechang and was used to such tricks of pretending to be reserved to raise his social status.
Besides, even if Liu Xianglian really doesn't like him, the so-called "good girls are afraid of pestering men" is still a trick he learned from Jia Zhen and others after he came to Beijing. After using it a few times, he found it effective, so at this time, he also
She faced Liu Xianglian's glare with a straight face.
"snort……"
Liu Xianglian snorted coldly in her heart. At this moment, she still couldn't understand Xue Pan.
He traveled all over the country, and although he often appeared in various major theatrical troupes, he did not just do it to make some money.
He was originally from a sideline of a wealthy family. Although his direct parents and elders all died, they still left him some family assets.
Although he is not said to be rich and powerful, it is still feasible to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
He went on stage to perform, firstly because he liked it, secondly, he could make friends with some knowledgeable people in the world, and thirdly, he could increase his reputation, win the reputation of a brothel, and relieve his loneliness.
Yes, he likes beauties, and even often sleeps with flowers and willows, but he doesn't like being teased like an actor.
It's just that he has been in Feng Yue's places more and has seen more. Occasionally, he can be taken advantage of verbally, but he can pretend that he doesn't care.
Gein's powerful disciples were more or less dignified, so even if he met a difficult person by chance, he would just take the opportunity to avoid them.
Anyway, he has no relatives, no worries, and is the same wherever he goes.
How many people, like Xue Pan, pester him again and again, and even dare to attack him directly? Thinking again, the Xue family is just an imperial merchant, and Xue Pan is even more despicable. How can I bear this bad breath in my heart?
Can you take it? Because he changed his face, he asked Xue Pan to wait for a while, and he took off the makeup a few times, then took Xue Pan to a deserted place, and said with a smile: "Did Xue Dalang say what he said before, seriously? But I don't know, you
Are you really kind to me, or are you pretending to be kind to me?"
"I mean it sincerely. If I had false intentions, I would die badly!"
Xue Pan was overjoyed and thought Liu Xianglian had really changed his mind.
Liu Xianglian laughed even more, "If you are serious, it's not very convenient here right now... Are you willing to leave here and stay outside for a night?"
"Haha, now that I have you, what else do I need from home? Of course I am willing."
Xue Pan looked at Liu Xianglian's handsome and flawless appearance, and recalled his charming appearance when he was a guest lady on the stage. His heart was already filled with relief. He was so happy that he couldn't think of anything else, so he hurriedly agreed.
"It just so happens that I have a residence outside the north gate, and I have two wonderful children in it, both of whom have never been out. You don't need to bring anyone with you if you follow me. The people who serve me there,
It’s all ready-made, how about it?”
"Okay, let's leave now."
Xue Pan looked eager and immediately wanted to pull Liu Xianglian's hand.
Liu Xianglian suppressed her displeasure, waved her hand and said: "Why are you panicking? Someone will see carefully.
You sit somewhere else and wait for me to leave this gate first and wait for you on the bridge outside the north gate. If you come back then, won't you be unaware of it?"
"Okay, okay..."
Xue Pan was so happy that everything was possible.
