Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 74 Release the bait
In the Longshui Pavilion of the Nie Mansion, Cui Zhu was pinching the shoulders of Mrs. Liu who was lying on the couch. Mrs. Liu seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, with a calm demeanor, but her fingertips were impatiently tapping on the table at hand.

Grandma Liu rushed in from the outside in a hurry, without taking a breath, she said, "Ma'am, Aunt Zhang has gone out! The old slave heard from the concierge that Aunt Zhang went to Qingyin Pavilion to listen to a play!"

Immediately, Liu opened her eyes, sat up straight and said hastily, "Can you see clearly?"

"It's absolutely true, the old slave has already confirmed it. The maid in Aunt Zhang's room said that she dressed up specially today and was going to attend an opera. The old slave looked at Aunt Zhang's carriage, and she was also going in the direction of Qingyin Pavilion .” Nanny Liu nodded again and again.

Mr. Liu lowered his eyes, his eyes bright and dark.Aunt Zhang was originally her personal maid, and she had already found out the details of what it was like.

Qin Xiaolian and Zhang are distant cousins, and the rest of the family died in the famine in the early years, so the two went to the capital together to make a living.

These two people are about the same age, and what is rare is that they also have somewhat similar looks, they are both born charming and charming.Although one became a concubine of a wealthy family, and the other became a famous actor in the capital, everyone knew the truth that a single tree cannot support each other, and the two of them could be regarded as hugging each other to keep warm all these years.

Actually, Aunt Zhang couldn't be the guest of Qingyin Pavilion, but because of her relationship with Qin Xiaolian, she became familiar and could come and go freely.Every month at Qin Xiaolian's venue, Mrs. Zhang would usually go to Qingyin Pavilion to join her.Of course, apart from Mrs. Zhang, Qin Xiaolian's concubine Li Yikang will also be there on time, and have a tryst in the bedroom by the way.

Ms. Liu stared at Nanny Liu coldly: "Qin Xiaolian has arranged it, right? Don't let anything go wrong."

"If you go back to Madam, the old slave has already made arrangements. Qin Xiaolian can only choose one for the lives of Aunt Zhang and Li Yikang, and she chose her old friend. Li Yikang's life is in our hands, she dare not Restless." Mammy Liu squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, making noises repeatedly.

Liu's plan was to use Li Yikang's life to threaten Qin Xiaolian to lead Aunt Zhang and Li Yikang into the wing room of Qingyin Pavilion, to make it look like they were having an affair, and then let a few servants rush into the room to catch the adulterer.

Li Yikang could take advantage of the chaos and escape, but Aunt Zhang would be detained by the servant who rushed in, and she would end up in a sinking pond.If Qin Xiaolian is not obedient, then Li Yikang will be Zhang's scapegoat.

Mrs. Liu's face was grim, looking at the usually gentle and kind Mrs. Nie who was completely different from her: "Send a few people to sneak into Qingyin Pavilion and act according to the previous plan. Remember, if you don't succeed in this matter, you will be punished. Do you understand?"

A thin layer of hot sweat broke out from the corner of Liu Mama's forehead, she nodded in understanding, and hurried out of the room.

……

On the first floor of Qingyin Pavilion, Qin Xiaolian has already stepped onto the stage in the middle.Her face was covered with thick paint, her figure was graceful, and her voice was as melodious as an oriole, but she sang a few words with her voice, and she won the applause of the audience.

The play she sang today tells the story of the famous prostitute Xu Yinger and the number one scholar Lin Jing who met and fell in love, but Lin Jing then gave him as a concubine to manage official relations.

The first floor and the second floor were full of voices, and the applause was endless.The viewing angle on the third floor is excellent, but there are only a few people quietly watching the good show below through the bead curtain.After all, most of the nobles on the third floor don't like to show their faces, but they are just obsessed with listening to the show.

Huo Qi covered his face with gauze, leaning on the railing and looking coldly at Liu Fang, who was applauded by the crowd on the second floor, with the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.

Qin Xiaolian's one show a month has attracted half the children of the capital to join in. How could Liu Fang, a drunkard and womanizer like him, not come to Qingyin Pavilion to join in the fun?How could you not think about it when you saw Qin Xiaolian?As long as you are good at guiding this kind of thinking, you can create a better play.

Liu Fang looked at Qin Xiaolian on the stage with salivation in his eyes. He turned to the little follower behind him and said, "This Qin Xiaolian is quite interesting."

Qin Xiaolian is not a young girl, but she has a bit of charm that girls don't have, especially Xu Yinger, who is both talented in color and art, adds a charm that she doesn't usually have.

The little follower had a silly look and a somewhat silly voice when he spoke. He could see Liu Fang's intentions and there was undisguised anxiety in his tone: "Master, you won't fall in love with Qin Xiaolian again... Master last time I just got angry because of Miss Huo's matter. If you cause trouble again in Qingyin Pavilion, the master will definitely blame me for not admonishing the young master, and I am afraid that my life will not be saved..."

The obsessed look on Liu Fang's face dissipated, and he slapped the little follower's head hard: "When will it be my turn to teach me how to do things, young master? Do you believe that your life can't be saved now?"

Liu Fang's complexion was a bit unsightly, and he just felt disappointed.

Since the last time he returned from Nie's Mansion, Liu Tiangang had scolded him bloody, had someone beat him up, and even issued a grounding order. He was so angry that he remained angry for several days.Now he finally sneaked out of Qingyin Pavilion to have some fun. Unexpectedly, this stinky follower would not open or lift any pot, which reminded him of the humiliation he suffered that day.

Thinking of this, Liu Fang gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a few words from the slit in his throat: "That bitch Huo Qi dares to plot against me, I will definitely make her look good in the future."

The young attendant didn't hear it, but just lowered his head and said: "Master, you have to wake up. Although Qin Xiaolian is just an actress, the people who support her have some dignity. The forces in the capital are intertwined, and you are from the Shangshu Mansion. My legitimate son, you must not..."

The words of the little follower made Liu Fang more and more impatient. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw a young man who looked like a playboy suddenly appeared next to him.The young man winked at him: "Brother, have you fallen in love with Qin Xiaolian?"

This dandy young man's conversation was really abrupt, but Liu Fang saw that this man was well-dressed, and that someone who could enter the second floor of Qingyin Pavilion must not be an ordinary person. Although he was still wary, he naturally struck up a conversation with him.

Liu Fang restrained his arrogance, and glanced at Qin Xiaolian on the stage quite indifferently: "Your brother was joking, it's not about whether you like it or not, but I think it's more fresh than the girls in Yixiangyuan."

The dandy young man smiled heartily: "Haha! Everyone has the love for beauty! If brother really likes Qin Xiaolian, I happen to have a way."

"Master, you must not provoke Qin Xiaolian again, if you let the master know..." Seeing this, the little follower hurriedly interrupted.

In fact, Liu Fang did not understand what the little follower said.He was a frequent visitor to Qingyin Pavilion and had long coveted Qin Xiaolian.Although Qingyin Pavilion is a theater, various forces are intertwined.If he hadn't been a little afraid of causing trouble to Baixiao Ban, Qin Xiaolian would have been his by now.

He has been suppressing the agitation in his heart all the time, but at the moment someone offered a method wisely, and being so provoked by his followers, today he is determined to get Qin Xiaolian.

That's all for Huo Qi, Qin Xiaolian is an actor, and he is a dignified son of the Minister's Mansion, can he still only watch but not eat?He ate a turtle on Huo Qi, and he was already very aggrieved. Could it be that he wants to eat another turtle in Qingyin Pavilion?

"Shut up, young master." Liu Fang interrupted the follower's advice, turned to the young man and said, "My dear brother, if you have any wise ideas, why don't you tell me?"

The dandy young man smiled and said mysteriously: "Outsiders think that Qin Xiaolian will go back to her bedroom to rest every time she sings, but they don't know that she will invite a guest to talk to Yunyu Residence on the third floor. Seeing that my brother has an extraordinary bearing, I must be If you come from a prominent family in the capital, as long as you find someone to send a letter to the leader Bai of Qingyin Pavilion early, with some benefits in gold and silver, you will naturally allow your brother to meet Qin Xiaolian."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Don't look at me. I am a frequent visitor to Qingyin Pavilion, but I have never heard of such a thing." Liu Fang was dubious.

The dandy young man shook his head and smiled, his eyes rolled up, and then he pointed down: "This news also came from the guests on the third floor, so few people know about it. If it weren't for today Brother Tai has some eyesight, and younger brother won't talk too much. If it's true or not, don't you know if you invite class leader Bai to ask?"

Just as he was talking, Bai Zhusheng came out from the shadow behind the stage on the first floor.

　I wish you all a Happy New Year!Good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
