When the sky was dark, there were few pedestrians on a side street near Tianshui Lane and the light was dim. In the snow at the corner of the side street, a wriggling black thing caught the attention of several people passing by. A few people boldly came closer. When he took a look, he found that he was actually a man with messy hair and dirty body.
"This guy is wearing a fur coat and fur hat. What is he doing lying in the snow?"
"Maybe he was drunk and fell here."
Several people were whispering and discussing.
One person suggested in a low voice: "That clothes, hat and boots are worth a lot of money. We can just steal them. Anyway, he is drunk and sober up, so he doesn't know."
"A good idea, but I'm afraid it will freeze people to death." Another person hesitated.
"What are you afraid of? He wakes up as soon as the wine freezes. Doesn't he know how to go home? What the hell, I only have two quilts in my family. I want that fur coat. I'm going to do it. I don't want what was delivered to my door. Don’t want it for nothing.”
Being poor and daring, the man stepped forward and started to take off his clothes. The other two people saw this and refused to show weakness. Several people went up and plucked out the man in the snow. All his boots, hat and clothes were taken away. He held it and ran away like flying.
The man on the snow was so cold that he whined and screamed, but he was so weak that he could only squirm on the ground. Not long after, the imperial army patrolling the city passed by and saw the man who was almost frozen on the snow. The leading team was Brushing away the messy hair from the man's face, he suddenly shouted in horror: "It's Lu Yanei. Oh my god."
Half an hour later, the trembling Lu Tianci was wrapped in a quilt by the Forbidden Army team and sent back to the Lu Mansion. The Lu family was suddenly busy. After feeding him a bowl of bird's nest, ginseng and lotus seed porridge, Lu Tianci's livid face turned pale. With blood color, he was lifted into the hot soup bucket and soaked for a quarter of an hour, and Lu Tianci finally came back to life. Seeing the concerned eyes of Lu Zhongtian and his wife, Lu Tianci jumped out of the bathtub regardless of his nakedness, soaking wet and hot. Lu Zhongtian hugged him and burst into tears.
"Father, avenge your son. My son was almost killed by them. Dad, my biological father, you almost died. Wuwuwuwu."
Lu Zhongtian burst into tears. He hugged Lu Tianci's white buttocks and patted him to comfort him: "Tianci, it's good to come back. It's good to come back. You've suffered. You've suffered. Daddy will definitely avenge you. Don't get excited. Get dressed quickly. Daddy let's go." I've cooked ginseng soup and bird's nest porridge for you to eat. You must take good care of yourself. This thief actually threw my Goddess naked in the snow. Are you going to freeze him alive? Little thief, I want to cut your body into pieces. Wan Duan, the whole family is dead."
…
When Lu Zhongtian and his son embraced and reunited, a big banquet was held in the back house of the Lin family to welcome Lu Wu and Lin Hu. In the hall of the back house, the brazier was burning brightly, the dishes on the table were piping hot, and there were several little red clay pigs. The smell of dog meat and beef cooked in the hot pot fills the hall, making people salivate with its fragrant aroma.
There were surprisingly many people at the table. In addition to the Lin family's wives and concubines and Fang Huanqiu, several actors from the two theaters were also invited. Miss Qianqian from the Nancheng Grand Theater, Qin Xiaoxiao from the Dongcheng Theater and those who have been settled in Zheng Nuanyu and Qian Liuer from the Dongcheng Grand Theater were also invited. Of course, Xie Danhong, who liked to join in the fun, was indispensable. There were red and green orioles and swallows on the table, chirping, cooing, and it was extremely lively.
The wine was filled and the banquet started. Everyone raised their glasses to welcome the return of Green Dance. After three rounds of wine, the five dishes were served. Qianqian's true nature was revealed, and her face was already flushed. She rolled up her sleeves and took Bai Bing to drink a few glasses of wine. After that, he picked up the wine glass and walked to Lu Wu, stepped on the stool, shook his fist and spoke fiercely.
"Lv Wu, do you know what you owe me?"
Lu Wu was confused and asked with a smile: "What do I owe you?"
"Still pretending? Not enough of a friend, well...really not enough of a friend." Qianqian shook her head as she shook her green-white fingers.
Bai Bing smiled and said: "Lvwu, don't pay attention to her, she drank too much again."
Qianqian glared and said: "I didn't drink too much, you can judge me. Lu Wu and I are sisters who have known each other for eight years. She has been in Hangzhou for so long and she didn't even write a letter to me, which makes me miss her so much. I wrote several times
Even if I write to you, she won’t reply. Do you think she did the right thing?”
In fact, the only people who knew about the kidnapping of Lu Wu were only members of the Lin family. Qianqian, Qin Xiaoxiao, Zheng Nuanyu and others did not know the inside story. Lin Jue had also given instructions in advance not to elaborate on the matter, so as not to cause trouble by talking too much. So,
They only told Qianqian and others that Lu Wu had stayed in Hangzhou for so many days before returning to Beijing. Therefore, Qianqian did not know what Lu Wu had gone through.
"Sisters who have known each other for eight years? You and Lu Wu? Hahaha." Lin Jue laughed.
Qianqian said angrily: "Why are Mr. Lin laughing? Is it funny? You men are allowed to become brothers, but Lu Wu and I can't become sisters? What's so funny?"
Lin Jueren smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it's reasonable, it's reasonable."
Qianqian rolled her eyes and said to Lu Wu, "Lu Wu, what do you think we should do? You have to give me an explanation."
Lu Wu could only smile and said: "Okay, it's my fault. I miss you too, but... I can't write a letter. I apologize to you here."
Qianqian said: "Just apologizing is not enough. I will forgive you if you drink three drinks as a penalty."
Lu Wu was startled and said, "I don't have a good capacity for drinking. I'll give you one drink as a penalty."
Qianqian said: "That's fine, I'll punish you with a big drink. Don't be afraid, I'll drink with you."
Qianqian took two large wine cups and filled them with wine. The large wine cups were equivalent to a small cup, and the capacity was really quite large. Lu Wu was dumbfounded, and just as she was about to defend herself, Qianqian picked up the wine cups and banged them.
Drink it. Lift the bottom of the bowl and say: "I've done it, it's up to you."
Lu Wu didn't know what to do, so Lin Jue said, "I'll drink it for you."
Lu Wu was overjoyed, and just as he was about to pass the wine cup over, Qianqian breathed out the wine and said, "No, I know I have no face, and you don't have to look down on me in person."
When everyone saw Qianqian saying such words, they knew that she was a little drunk. After hearing this, Lu Wu could no longer refuse, so she had to hold her nose and drink the wine.
Seeing Lu Wu finish her wine, Qian Qian clapped her hands and said with a smile: "These are good sisters. I forgive you. I..."
Before she finished speaking, Qianqian's body swayed and she was lying on the table. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly went to check. However, they heard snoring, and Qianqian had already fallen asleep drunk. Everyone was angry and funny.
Bai Bing said softly: "I have been drinking for a long time, but I still have the same virtue. I also like to drink, and I get drunk as soon as I drink, but there is really nothing I can do."
Fang Huanqiu said with a smile: "This little girl Qianqian is a true lover."
Bai Bing smiled and said: "What's your true temperament? You just love to fool around."
Xie Danhong said hurriedly: "Oh, I have disturbed everyone's interest. Let me take her back to Zaoyuan." The little princess smiled and said: "Just let her go. Just help her to rest first. It's a rare time for Xie's mother to come here.
The banquet hasn't ended yet, I have to have a good time before leaving. We are very busy on weekdays."
Xie Danhong nodded repeatedly and said: "It is better for the county to forgive you. I am deeply grateful."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Sister Danhong works hard on weekdays, and she deserves it. If you have any difficulties on weekdays, just tell Yingying. Although Yingying is no longer on stage, she is familiar with the matter, just come to her."
Xie Danhong stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you very much, sir. I understand."
Yingying smiled and said: "Mom is much more polite to my husband now. She was not so polite before."
Xie Dan blushed and said: "Yingying, Mr. Lin is now a high official in the court, how can he still have no rules? Not only me, you must also abide by the rules. At home, you must listen to the princess, Mrs. Lu Wu and others, and don't lose your temper.
When you get married, you have to behave like a woman. It’s not like before..."
Lin Jue hurriedly interrupted her, Xie Danhong also drank a lot, and if she continued to speak, she would probably say something inappropriate.
"Sister Danhong, you don't have to think like that. We are all our own people, so there is no need to be too restrained. Come, help Qianqian to have a rest. Just wake her up later when mother returns to Zaoyuan."
Lu Wu stood up and said, "Just help her to my room. Qianqian has been staying at my place before."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Qianqian had indeed been living in the mansion before, and Lu Wu still had a room for her. Occasionally she would come to the mansion to spend the night, and she would still sleep in Lu Wu's courtyard.
Lu Wu and the two maids helped Qian Qian to rest, and everyone at the table continued to drink. Lin Jue was in a happy mood, and everyone at the table toasted him. He did not refuse everyone's toast, and drank one cup at a time until the glass was dry.
Zheng Nuanyu and Qian Liuer were originally a little restrained at the banquet, but after drinking some wine, they relaxed. While the two sisters Bai Bing and Qin Xiaoxiao were talking to each other, the little princess and Xie Danhong were also chatting and laughing.
Zheng Nuanyu finally summoned up the courage to stand up and raise her glass to toast Lin Jue.
"Mr. Lin, the Nu family and Liu'er would like to offer you a glass of wine. Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for your kindness, Liu'er and I and the sisters at Yingtianfu Grand Theater would have suffered. We sisters are all grateful in our hearts and have long wanted to express our gratitude to you.
Thank you."
Qian Liuer nodded in agreement.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "There is nothing to be grateful for. When you enter our Jiangnan Grand Theater, I have the responsibility to protect your safety. I should have visited you after returning to Beijing, but I was busy with trivial matters and never had time."
.I specially invite you to the family dinner today, which is also a way for everyone to meet and chat. You must not be formal and polite, just do everything casually."
Zheng Nuanyu nodded to thank him and drank wine with Lin Jue, but did not sit down. He bowed again and said softly: "Young Master is a kind and righteous person. Nuanyu is grateful. But Nuanyu is self-aware. Nuanyu returned to the capital on her own.
It has been more than two months since then. During this time, we have lived at Sister Qin's place, which is quite stable. But Nuanyu and Liu'er are a little uneasy. The Yingtianfu Grand Theater is gone, and those of us at the Yingtianfu Theater have
There is nothing to do. The master is kind and pays the salary every month, but we are really uneasy with the money. We all think that we can't get the money for free, so we feel really uneasy. Today Nuanyu takes the liberty to ask the young master,
Can we go back to Tianfu and rebuild the Yingtianfu Theater? We don’t want to be idle, we have to do something to feel at ease."
