Chapter 53 - Three Plants Mei 08
“He died of illness half a year ago?” Huo Weilou frowned, “What is the disease?”
Steward Qian said with a trembling voice: “It’s tuberculosis, which can’t be cured. After a short period of six months, Yanyi asked the medicine to treat him, but he still couldn’t. He died six months ago. To be honest, a few Among the scholars, the master had high hopes for him and wanted him to write more playbooks, but who would have thought that he was not so lucky…”
“After he died, Li Yuchang took up the script of “Resurrection” and said he wrote it?”
Steward Qian was afraid of the deceased as the greatest, and he did not dare to speak ill of Li Yuchang, but Huo Weilou’s interrogation was not a joke, and he dared not hide it anymore, so he honestly said: “Not so, after Chen Xiucai died, this scene is not there at all. Chen Xiucai’s place was in the hands of the Liu family. The master used some kind words to coax the Liu family to hand in the script, and then the master re-edited it. This became the current “Resurrection of the Soul”, and the natural signature is also Become a master.”
Huo Weilou’s eyes darkened slightly, “Why is the script at Liu Huiniang?”
Steward Qian sighed, “Chen Xiucai and Liu are from the same hometown. Later, when they entered the garden, they became very close to Liu, and… Liu has a beautiful and beautiful voice. Everyone knows that she will definitely want it in the future. As a actor, Chen Xiucai naturally turned to Liu family, and edited a previous playbook for Liu family to sing, but it is a pity that he was short-lived and had this incurable disease early in the morning.”
“Before he died, he used to talk to everyone about the play. Later, when he died, the play belonged to the Liu family, and everyone was very sad. At the beginning, they said that the author of the play was dead. She stopped singing, just begging to leave a thought, but our theatrical troupe hadn’t produced a well-received script for many years, and the master naturally refused to agree. Later, after a few months of soaking up and down, everyone did not take out the script, sir. I’ve been thinking about it all day and I’m a little bit obsessed.”
“This play has never been sung before. The master thinks that going to the capital to sing in the Houfu for a month will surely make “Resurrection of the Soul” famous. Then maybe our theatrical troupe can still stand in the capital. I want to open a theater in the capital…”
Steward Qian told him what he knew. Huo Weilou fell into deep thought after hearing it. The play was not made by Li Yuchang, but the original author had died of illness. What happened half a year ago? If Chen Hanmo’s death was man-made, is there someone avenging Chen Hanmo’s death in Li Yuchang?
Huo Weilou said again: “After Li Yuchang has taken up the playbook, besides editing and editing, can he also add a new play?”
Steward Qian shook his head quickly, “Although this playbook has not been finished yet, there is enough written in front of it. In two to three months, it has to be edited and composed, and the actors have to rehearse. The master cannot take care of it. It’s here, so I queued up a few main dramas first. Even if I go to the capital, I can go to the stage. The script for this drama seems to be close to the end, but the master is not in a hurry.”
Since Li Yuchang has never added the drama, who added the last discount?
Huo Weilou’s mind flashed Liu Huiniang’s red eyes. Liu Huiniang knew best what “Resurrection” was talking about. The script was taken from her. There was no other choice but to add to the drama.
“Talk about Liu Huiniang.” Huo Weilou said suddenly.
Although Steward Qian is a bit slick, but now, the relationship between him and Li Yuchang is the simplest, while the rest of the Yuchun class don’t know if there is any secret behind them.
Steward Qian was a little inexplicable when he heard the words. He seemed to feel that Huo Weilou’s suspicion of Liu Huiniang was unreasonable. He said: “Hui Niang bought it seven years ago, and studied with the Song family for five years. She started to take the stage three years ago. It was very popular. When our troupe was able to fight against the Song family members, that is, from that time, their master-disciple relationship was not good. Later, the master valued the Liu family members very much, and they became more and more unsightly. Since last year, Song family members have a bad voice. Now, the Liu family’s reputation in the team will be higher.”
“You have to eat up and down in Yuchun’s class. Naturally, whoever is the hottest will hold the other person. This is also impossible.” Steward Qian sighed, “Everyone is very talented, and he is willing to learn. It’s still kind, so up and down are willing to hold her, and the master loves her even more.”
“I love her even more?” Huo Weilou narrowly caught this sentence.
Steward Qian’s expression dodged, and he dared not look at Huo Wei Building’s scrutiny, and he coldly scolded Ke, “Master Hou is questioning, are you dumb?”
The corner of Qian’s lips trembled, and the ropeway trembled: “It’s… the old man belonged to a wife who was originally married to him. Later, the wife passed away, leaving behind a young master. Later, the master didn’t marry another wife, and… and he bought it back. Ling, they are all signed, like domestic servants, they are also willing to be loved by the master—”
Speaking of this, the meaning is very clear. Huo Weilou’s sword eyebrows raised slightly, and Bo Ruoyou’s expression on the side changed slightly. Steward Qian felt that he had said something that shouldn’t be said, so he asked for supplements: “They… Originally it was like the goods in the hands of Ren Yazi. Even if they went to other people’s houses, they were still girls and concubines. When they came to the master, they could be allowed to perform on stage and sing prosperously. It’s kind of decent, it’s an unattainable blessing.”
“It’s just that these things are not good for outsiders. If others know them clearly, their worth will drop. However, there are many people who understand the inside story. Everyone is unspoken. It is a pleasure to listen to the drama. “Yes.” Steward Qian said and glanced at Huo Weilou. “Actually, a actor is half a prostitute. It’s the same thing in the theatre buildings outside. Some people who sing well may also work as concubines in wealthy houses. Not in the minority…”
Steward Qian’s voice was getting lower and lower, and Huo Weilou stared at him and asked, “All the people in the troupe are like this?”
Steward Qian cowered and nodded, “Master loves drama and is crazy. He doesn’t like to have concubines, and he doesn’t just like beauty. If someone sings well, he will especially like it…”
Huo Weilou was silent for a moment, “You said “Resurrection” was written by Chen Hanmo, so he wrote it specifically for Liu Huiniang?”
Steward Qian nodded, “That’s true. Everyone Liu likes this playbook very much.”
“Liu Huiniang is close to him?”
Steward Qian hesitated for a moment and said: “Should… be considered close, she and she feel a little bit of sympathy, otherwise they won’t talk about the drama in the same place. When Chen Hanmo wrote, everyone Liu also helped a lot. This drama The love between Chen and Liu that Zhe Nei wrote about once made the master unhappy, but the relationship between people and ghosts is quite moving, and the master hasn’t changed it.”
Huo Weilou raised his hand and threw the half of the playbook in front of Steward Qian, “Look at Li Yuchang’s handwriting on it.”
Steward Qian wiped his sweat, and quickly went to see the play book tremblingly. He saw that only half of the play book was burned. He was still a little confused as to where Huo Wei Building got it from, but he looked through it carefully. For a moment, he shook his head, “This is Nerd Chen’s handwriting, not written by the master…” He frowned slightly, “This is the case, the master should be placed in the cage. After the master has used the words of the Nerd Chen, he I edited a new book, which is similar with little difference, but more refined. When I talked to Liu and others about the play, I used a new playbook. When the villain packed up the relics for the master the night before, the playbook was already taken by the villain. Put away.”
Huo Weilou frowned slightly, “You said this play should have been put in Li Yuchang’s place?”
Steward Qian nodded firmly, “Master won’t let outsiders see this playbook. Doesn’t it mean that he should let others know that this play was not written by him? There are not many people who know this. The villain counts as one, and Liu counts as one. Chen A nerd is really a nerd who has read too much. In the garden, he doesn’t have much interaction with other people, so there shouldn’t be many people who know it.”
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, “Call Liu Huiniang to come.”
Steward Qian was taken down and guarded in the corridor outside. Soon, Liu Huiniang came down from the second floor. The night was getting dark, Liu Huiniang put on her head, her hair was loosely rolled up, and she was very charming. She walked to hire Ting, her body was scented, and she walked to Qian’s housekeeper and looked at him with questioning eyes. But Steward Qian was somewhat guilty of not daring to look at her.
When Liu Huiniang saw this, her expression was a little heavy, but when she entered the tea shop, her face sank, but she looked calm and respectful, with slightly curved lips, and even a slight smile, although she did not give her powder. , But there is a three-point charm in the natural beauty, and I come here plainly at this moment, and it is even more pleasing to the eye. I see it with pity.
“Farewell to Lord Hou.” Liu Huiniang hired Ting to give a salute.
Huo Wei Lou Meifeng asked without moving, “After you sent Li Yuchang back that night, did you ever take his things?”
Liu Huiniang was slightly surprised, “Take things away? The girl doesn’t know what Hou Ye means…”
Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes were cold, and Liu Huiniang was a little nervous when she saw her. Her eyes rolled slightly, “At that time, the civic girl sent the master back to the cabin and helped him to lie down and then left. When the civic girl left, the master Still well.”
Huo Weilou raised his brows slightly, “What did you do when you went back to the room?”
Liu Huiniang continued: “The girl will sing the “Resurrection” for a long time, until her voice is dumb, the girl will stop, I am afraid it is late at night, people around the girl may I heard a little bit.”
Mo said that the people around her were Bo Ruoyou, who remembered hearing her singing in the middle of a half-dream and half-waking time.
Liu Huiniang folded her hands in front of her, with a gentle expression, standing in the hall with a straight back.
Huo Weilou’s eyes were dark and unclear. Tonight someone went to the west terrace to burn the script. The script was burned at Li Yuchang’s place. Except for Liu Huiniang, it’s hard to have a second person thinking about it, and Liu Huiniang’s calm appearance also makes People are quite surprised.
“Master Hou, I don’t know why Master Hou has this question? Is there something weird about Master’s death?” Liu Huiniang, not humble or arrogant, even asked about Huo Weilou.
Huo Weilou looked at Liu Huiniang, and suddenly said, “The play you and Li Yuchang said that night was “The Resurrection”, but there are many scenes in this play. Which one did you say that night?”
Liu Huiniang said calmly: “It’s about “Love”, “Return to the Soul” and “Farewell” in three percent.”
Huo Wei’s serious expression dissipated on the floor, and then he leaned back on the chair with a bit of fatigue. He said lightly, “It sounds interesting, let’s talk about this tri-fold play.”
It is natural for Liu Huiniang to be very familiar with the performances of daily singing and performing preparations to go on stage in Beijing. Although she is a little puzzled why Huo Weilou asked such a question, she still replied very naturally, “The “Love Bell” is a fold in the play. The son Chen Lang and Ms. Liu’s love each other, and they complained to each other. “Return to the Soul” means that after Chen Lang died, because of the difficulty of Miss Liu’s reincarnation, he turned into a ghost to see Ms. Liu. “Farewell” means that Miss Liu, in order to save Chen Lang, forced Chen Lang’s ghost to return to the underworld.”
Huo Weilou’s fingertips tapped the arm of the chair leisurely, “I heard that this drama has not been finished yet, what do you plan to do? Can you sing “Resurrection” in the future?”
Liu Huiniang sighed when she heard the words, her eyes red again, “Master is dead, this play can never have an end. The folk girls can’t sing anymore. Every time they sing, they have to think of the master. It is really traumatic. Back to Luozhou, I still don’t know how the Li family will deal with us. If the troupe doesn’t do it, we don’t know where we are going.”
The more Liu Huiniang said, the more sad she was, tears filled the corners of her eyes, and Huo Weilou’s eyebrows and eyes were a little worried, “Are you all in the Li Mansion?”
Huo Weilou’s tone was soothing, as if she had changed her personality with Shicai, Liu Huiniang said with a defensive heart: “Yes, all the folk girls signed are death contracts. I really don’t know how to deal with us.”
Huo Weilou nodded, “You are not yet double ten years old, so you can’t rely on returning to Luozhou like this, and you have to bury your talent in the drama, which is quite embarrassing.”
Liu Huiniang wiped the corners of her eyes, as if she was really sad.
Huo Weilou turned his eyes and asked Father Fu, “Can Hong’er say that she likes her very much?”
Father Fu was taken aback, and immediately nodded, “Yes, the elder son said that it is difficult to see a person like the Liu family in the capital, and he was thinking about going to the Hou Mansion to listen to the church. Now they are not going to the capital, the elder son sighed for a long while yesterday.”
Liu Huiniang was in a daze when she saw this. At first, she thought that Huo Weilou called her to be related to Li Yuchang’s case, but she didn’t expect to change her conversation. When she talked about the drama, she talked about her future.
At this time, Huo Weilou looked at Liu Huiniang, “If you are asked to go to the capital, would you like to go?”
Liu Huiniang was slightly surprised, and Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly. She looked at Huo Weilou, not knowing whether Huo Weilou’s words were true or false.
Liu Huiniang’s hands were tightly twisted in front of her, “If Master Hou has an order, the girl will not ask for it, but…the girl has signed a death contract…”
Fu Gonggong smiled and said: “The girl has been worrying too much. If you have a death agreement or a death agreement, if Lord Hou speaks, the girl is free.”
Although Liu Huiniang has a bit of prestige, she can be said to be a slave and maid who signed a death contract. She has a low status. When she wants to favor her, she will call her everyone. When she doesn’t want to favor her, she is like a ninth in Goulan Washe. The body, now Huo Weilou shows a bit of favor, whoever is grateful and yearning for it.
However, Liu Huiniang’s lips moved a few times, but she didn’t answer immediately.
Huo Weilou looked at her expression, “What, you don’t want it?”
Liu Huiniang’s eyes changed a little, and she hesitated in her mouth: “Being able to enter the capital and being able to accompany the world’s children is naturally the blessing of the people’s daughters who cultivated in the past life, but…just the people’s daughters…”
Huo Weilou said: “If you can really make the world happy, how many honors will be given to you.”
Liu Huiniang’s hand held in front of her tightened two points. “The girl of the country can’t ask for it. It’s just that…the girl is a low status, and… she has also committed herself to others and is not worthy to be with her son.”
Liu Huiniang lowered her eyebrows, her face was a little pale. Although she was embarrassed about the matter, she was more nervous and afraid, as if she was afraid that Huo Wei Tower would really bring her into the capital.
“You are good at drama, and it is nothing to be committed to others, and the name given to you is not so important, as long as you serve the world with all your heart.” Huo Weilou seemed to have seen big winds and waves. When he said this, his tone was not Semi contemptuous.
Although people value the innocence of women, there are still widows who marry two times. There are many people in the brothel and houses as maids and concubines. If Liu Huiniang is like an actress, her status is humble, and she is the director of the play. Innocence is not important.
At this point, Liu Huiniang still wrinkled her hands and said nothing. Her forehead was sweaty, and she still looked hesitant. Huo Weilou looked at her and suddenly said, “It seems that you already have a place in your heart.”
The corners of Liu Huiniang’s lips were pressed tightly, and Huo Weilou continued: “You have this heart, Chen Han knows how to do it, and I want to be a little bit comforted.”
Liu Huiniang suddenly raised her head. She looked at Huo Weilou with an incredulous look. She didn’t seem to have expected that Huo Weilou could suddenly mention the name Chen Hanmo. Her pupils trembled, but she forced her composure, “Hou Ye… How does Lord Hou know Mr. Chen?”
Huo Weilou looked at her narrowly, “The Resurrection of Souls was made by Chen Hanmo. It is written in the play that Chen and Liu are in love but it is difficult to get married. His surname is Chen and your surname is Liu. He wrote it specifically for you. Wasn’t it written for him? He brought your love into the playbook, but he didn’t want to say it in a word, and he really separated you from yin and yang. It’s a pity that the playbook is just a legendary play that he is dead. After half a year, his ghost, I’m afraid he has never come back to see you.”
Liu Huiniang’s face was as white as paper, and her slender stature was extremely tight. “Master Hou…presumably listened to the words of Steward Qian. It is true that “Resurrection of Souls” was not made by the master, but Minnu and Mr. Chen just sang and cherished each other, not What the Lord Hou said is that I have personal affair, everyone in the family and class perform their own duties, and the ladies and other actors and actresses are the servants of the master and are not allowed to be private with others.”
Huo Weilou was stunned when he heard the words, “It’s so? So that’s what Chen Hanmo was thinking of you. Li Yuchang kindly took him in, and provided him with food and clothing, but he coveted the benefactor’s concubine, weird. He fell behind. He wanted to come, but he was only a mediocre person, and he also put his mind on Fengyue. Such a person has never been in high school, and it is really fortunate for me to come.”
“No!” Liu Huiniang’s body was trembling suddenly, “not so, Mr. Chen is very literary, and he is so tall, many times stronger than those acid scholars. If it is not because of family poverty, if it is not because of bad luck, he How could he end up in the Yuchun class? He is a character of Guangfeng Jiyue, but the master asked him to write a bizarre and fascinating Fengyue playbook, so he wrote this person and ghost love. He has a good heart and a full economy, if he is in high school Entering an officialdom, I don’t know how many people’s well-being is. You don’t even know what kind of person he is. He could have tried again, but he…”
“But he is a short-lived ghost.” Huo Weilou’s words were harsh and merciless.
“He was taken by Li—”
Liu Huiniang said flatly, but at the moment she saw the cold color under Huo Weilou’s eyes, she suddenly stopped her mouth as if she suddenly understood what, her eye sockets were red, tears flickered at the corners of her eyes, and people were trembling slightly, but she was tight. Clenching his teeth, he suppressed all his anger on his face. Soon, her tone calmed down, and she only sighed and said: “The girl can’t admire Mr. Chen any more, but it’s a pity that he is a blessed person and went too early. Perhaps, his talents are even envious of Heaven. “
Huo Weilou’s seemingly disorderly words almost made her gaffe, but she shut her mouth at the last moment. She Shi Shiran stood in the hall. Although she was a little worried, she understood the intention of Huo Weilou. Now that she understands, Huo Wei Lou could no longer tell anything from her, wiped her tears, and Liu Huiniang was as calm and calm as she came.
Huo Weilou looked at Liu Huiniang, with a faint surprise flashing in his eyes. This seemingly scheming weak woman who only pursues fame and fortune, is actually not as common as she sees. Now she is not willing to follow the status and honor. The son of Houfu, why did he take the initiative to get in front of Huo Qinghong?
It is true that Liu Huiniang never said a word, but her mind was touched by Huo Weilou, and there was a flaw in her words. This is enough for Huo Weilou. He then asked, “Since you admire Chen Hanmo so much, Li Yuchang has taken him. You must hate the script of the drama, right?”
Liu Huiniang looked down and smiled bitterly, “The girls are indeed dissatisfied, but the girls are not qualified to be dissatisfied. Even the girls themselves are masters, so how can they be worthless for Mr. Chen?”
“Qian Mingli said that Li Yuchang took a copy of Chen Hanmo’s playbook and copied a copy, but the original playbook was left with him. He also said that the playbook was in your hands at first, but now the playbook is missing. Now, do you know where you went?”
Huo Weilou didn’t mention the script that was burned from beginning to end. Liu Huiniang only thought that everything he knew was from the mouth of the steward Qian, so she said: “Minnu didn’t know that the script was indeed in Minnu’s hands at first, but later the master asked for it. Although the female felt that it was Mr. Chen’s relic and should not be handed over to the master, but she couldn’t hold back the master, she still handed it over.”
“Listening to you, the story of this play is indeed bizarre, but Chen and Liu know each other and love each other, but it also reflects you and him. Is the play written in the playbook really only written by him?”
Liu Huiniang raised her jaw slightly. “The girl also helped Mr. Chen think about a few minor details, but Chen and Liu’s conception of the relationship between humans and ghosts is what Mr. Chen thought. In a word, they all came from Mr. Chen. The gentleman is big and talented, and the people and girls are relatively inexperienced. Naturally, they won’t be able to help much.”
Huo Weilou looked at her for a while, and suddenly said, “Take her to the cabin and wait. You can’t come out without the orders of the lord.”
Liu Huiniang’s expression changed slightly, “Dare to ask Lord Hou, why do you treat the people like this? The words of the people are true…”
“The words are true?” Huo Weilou stared at her coldly. “You can not only sing and act, and have been with Chen Hanmo for a long time, but also write stories. Not only can you write stories, but you can also imitate Chen Hanmo’s handwriting. Is Hou right?”
Liu Huiniang’s beautiful eyes glared, and it seemed difficult to understand why Huo Weilou knew about this. Huo Weilou said again: “The most brilliant lies are ten truths and one false. No matter how you make up with sincerity, the playbooks left by Chen Hanmo will not. lie.”
Liu Huiniang’s eyes grew bigger, but she forced herself to say: “What the Lord Hou is saying that she doesn’t know that she is wronged, how can Lord Hou arrest her without evidence, she will disembark tomorrow to do a funeral for the lord… “
Lu Ke had already brought the embroidered clothes ambassador to come forward to fetch people, and Liu Huiniang was still struggling, but no matter how pitiful she shouted, everyone present was not moved.
When she left, there was a sudden and quiet needle drop in the room, and Huo Weilou’s complexion completely sank, “This situation is very clever.”
Father Fu frowned. He only saw that Liu Huiniang and Chen Hanmo had a very close relationship. Most of them had an affair, but they were denied by Liu Huiniang. The death of Chen Hanmo was largely due to the death of Li Yuchang and Chen Hanmo. The details are unpredictable, and the truth of Li Yuchang’s death is still hidden behind heavy fog.
Seeing Huo Weilou’s look cold and iron, Bo Ruoyou couldn’t help but said: “Master Hou, there is no way of killing people that is perfect to no flaws, and wherever you do evil, you will leave a trace.”
After a pause, she said confidently: “Liu Huiniang has concealed it, and the performance of her performance that night is a proof of her absence, then it is absolutely impossible that she is the only one related to Li Yuchang’s death.”
