This phoenix crown made of pure gold is worthy of no one in the whole Kyoto except Qinghuan.
"Why not?" Lu Jun looked at Bai Jinglang standing beside him and asked.
Bai Jingyan's eyes were fixed on the rope loop beside the pillar. Seeing that person there, he felt at ease. "Master Lu, there is no reward without merit. Qinghuan's costume is enough for me."
"If he doesn't want it, you can't force him." Lu Jun looked at Wei Fang who was standing beside him and said, "Or do you have some other purpose?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Wei Fang had the Phoenix Coronet put away and said, "It's not that we didn't have time to leave and you, Master Lu, saw us. We're leaving now. How could we possibly embarrass Qing Huan?"
He waved his hand, and several lackeys hurried away. Wei Fang said with a smile, "Goodbye, Young Master Lu. I'll host a welcoming banquet for you next time."
He left in a hurry. When the figure disappeared, Lu Jun looked at Bai Jingtang beside him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Thank you, Master Lu. I'm fine." Bai Jinglang clasped his fists.
"I'm glad you're okay. Wei Fang has other thoughts about you. Next time you go off the stage, have a few more people follow you." Lu Jun reminded.
"Okay, thank you." Bai Jingjian didn't tell him that he had a way to solve the current dilemma. Even if Boss Liu would give Wei some face, he couldn't act recklessly in Guiyuan as he pleased. There had been customers who came to bother him in the past, but he just had to shout loudly and the thugs nearby would throw him away without caring who the person was.
Compared to Wei Fang, the person in front of him is actually the most troublesome. The Lu family has an army behind it, and even Boss Liu doesn't dare to offend them easily.
Bai Jingtang thanked him and wanted to leave, but Lu Jun stopped him, "Qinghuan, wait a moment."
"Do you have anything else to say?" Bai Jingtang asked.
"This is for you." Lu Jun handed over a yellowed book. "This is a play I recently found. I haven't seen it anywhere else. I wanted to show it to you."
Bai Jinglang lowered his eyes, and his eyes moved slightly when he saw the name above. Operas are spread all the time, but there are always lost copies. The one in front of him is the one that even his master does not have.
He had no interest in gold, silver, or wealth, but was obsessed with opera. If he came across a rare copy, he would naturally be overjoyed. If he could establish a good relationship with the Lu family, it would also seem to benefit the Bai family...
That's not right. For a family like the Lu family, even if they like to listen to operas, the opera singers are basically different from them. I'm afraid that if they don't make good friends with them, they will get into trouble.
Bai Jingtang took a step back and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Lu. Qinghuan already has this copy."
He turned around and left, but this time he didn't stay.
Lu Jun watched him enter the room, lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand and said, "Didn't they say it was a unique copy?"
If it weren't a unique copy, it wouldn't be worth giving it to him.
After Bai Jinglang entered the house, he sighed slightly. If he missed this rare copy, it would be difficult to get it in the future.
"Can't bear to leave?" Lin Su asked from the side.
"There is one thing. That is a rare copy that even my master has been thinking about. I have been looking for it for a long time but still can't find it." Bai Jingjian took off the phoenix crown and said regretfully.
Lin Su was asking about a person, but what he was talking about was a unique copy.
How could someone who was amazed at first sight not like him? Otherwise, he would not have listened to his plays, painted his pictures, and tried every possible means to find Gu Ben to cater to his tastes.
"Don't contact him too frequently." Lin Su said.
Bai Jingtang wiped the ink off his face and asked, "Why?"
He did not plan to have any follow-up contact with Lu Jun because it might cause trouble, but he did not expect Lin Su's direct opposition.
"I've been to the Lu family. They painted a picture of you on stage." Lin Su said, "Jing Yan, sometimes people's obsession with a character can easily transfer to the character himself."
This is also why many fans are particularly fond of an actor because of a role he plays. The same is true in opera. Bai Jingjian’s role as the imperial concubine is unique, but he is not the imperial concubine. He is just an actor. Without the makeup, he has no resemblance to the imperial concubine in appearance or personality.
No, maybe... it's similar.
Bai Jingtang paused as he wiped his cheek and asked, "Why did you go to the Lu family?"
"Because your future will be tied to Lu Jun," Lin Su said. "Mrs. Lu has a strong temper and calls the shots in the Lu family. She may like your play, but she won't allow her son to cause a public outcry over his infatuation with an actor. The Lu family's influence is enough to pry Sister Ying and Boss Liu out of their wits."
And if their mouths were pried open, the fact that Qinghuan was Bai Jingjian would no longer be concealed. With the Lu family's actions, the entire Bai family would be in trouble.
"I will stay away from him in the future." Bai Jinglang said cautiously after thinking about the possible consequences.
It's not worth it to cause trouble for a unique copy.
"Tangtang is so good." Lin Su said with a smile.
Bai Jingtang paused as he was untying his wig, causing his hair to tug painfully. He turned to look at where Lin Su was. "What did you call me?"
"Jing Yan." Lin Su said.
"No, it's the other one." Bai Jinglang was sure that he was not hard of hearing.
"Which one?" Lin Su asked deliberately.
Bai Jingtang hesitated, not having the nerve to utter the name. Even after the ink was washed off his face, it was still a bright red. "It's the last reduplicated character of my name."
"Tang, Tangtang, so you like me calling you that." Lin Su said with a smile, "If you had said it earlier, I would have called you that two days ago."
"No, no, I..." Bai Jingtang was speechless and stared at him, "I don't like it!"
"Really don't like it?" Lin Su asked.
Bai Jingtang was silent for a moment and said, "Can we really be together?"
He had to admit that he fell in love with a blind person, but being blind had many problems. He had to rely on sounds and fantasy to maintain this love, and he might even be considered sick because it was difficult for others to feel his presence except him.
The thought of such a future makes people feel heavy.
Lin Su did not answer. The person in front of him had not experienced as much as the one a hundred years later, and there were not many things that could hinder him. He was still very young, and it was understandable that he wanted real things. However, Lin Su could not use the future a hundred years later to determine his present.
After all, according to normal people's thinking, no one would be willing to spend a lifetime with something that cannot be seen or touched. Plato's love only exists in fantasy, and it is mostly unfeasible in reality.
"Don't worry about it." Lin Su said, "Just follow your heart. No matter what choice you make, I will respect you."
"Yeah." Bai Jingtang fell silent again.
