Dog Egg? Master? Xiao Liuchen felt a metallic taste rise in his throat.
He pretended to have amnesia to avoid those people's investigation, not to offer himself up to be humiliated by this woman! But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't change them now.
The stage in the small town had already been set up. Because Lu Qingyan had to take care of Xiao Liuchen, the role of "The Peony Pavilion" that was supposed to be sung by her was given to Dongsheng. Dongsheng was still young and slender, and he looked quite convincing in the female role. His singing skills were also excellent.
Lu Qingyan reached out and patted Xiao Liuchen on the head: "Goudan'er, your teacher still has things to do, you just rest here."
Xiao Liuchen gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Master going?" He was so angry that he almost crushed his teeth.
As the dignified heir of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, it's utterly shameful that he has to acknowledge someone as his master! But he hasn't even received the account book yet, and he can't let those people find him and give up halfway.
"Master, you should leave quickly. There are set times for the performance, and it would be bad if we were delayed."
Lu Qingyan smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Hmm, my disciple is so good."
As they were talking, Chunsheng came over to urge them, "Miss, hurry up, it's your turn to go on stage."
"Coming, coming," Lu Qingyan replied repeatedly.
As is her habit over the years, Lu Qingyan applies makeup quickly, and given her youth and good skin, her makeup is quite light. She slowly enters the stage in her costume, and then continues the opera that Dongsheng had only sung halfway through.
When Xiao Liuchen arrived at the stage a few quarters later, he heard a man in theatrical costume and dragon robe singing: "I returned to Mawei to rebury my concubine. But her jade bones were gone, leaving only a sachet. I have been thinking of her day and night, and have ordered sorcerers to search for her soul."
Having just arrived at the fairy mountain, I found you and conveyed my heartfelt feelings to you. When he sang this part, he took something out of his pocket and continued: "A hairpin and a box, a fan, and we mentioned the vow to pray for skill in the festival."
Lu Qingyan also took out an identical prop from her bosom and said, "I also brought my hairpin box here."
The two looked at each other for a moment and sang together: "The love box is now reunited, and the swallows on the hairpin fly together again. I am overwhelmed with sadness as I think back, and tears well up when we look at each other again."
At this point, Lu Qingyan had to admit that Tian Shenhua had a good eye for talent. Although this was Junhua's first time taking on a leading role, he sang exceptionally well, and even showed signs of surpassing her.
His speech was clear and resonant, and his movements were graceful and powerful. His eyes, as if pulled from the water, could melt a person's heart with just one glance, immersing them in the deep affection he wove.
The audience members had different thoughts. Chun Sheng and his group felt that the younger generation was formidable and that Master Tian was a promising successor, while the younger generation felt admiration.
Tian Shenhua leaned against the armrest, watching their wonderful performance with great satisfaction, thinking about what to buy them to encourage them later. Xiao Liuchen, however, felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
It's just opera, why are they standing so close? They're practically touching. Look at how perfectly in sync they are; he wanted nothing more than to pull that man down.
Dong Sheng hadn't even changed out of his costume when he saw Xiao Liuchen running over. He followed and put a hand on Xiao Liuchen's shoulder: "Brother, you're finally awake. It wasn't for nothing that our young lady took care of you. How was it? Didn't our young lady sing exceptionally well?"
These words sound like they carry a sense of pride.
Xiao Liuchen blurted out, "Of course my master sings well, humph, but he's nothing to you." He was stunned when he said this, not expecting that he cared about this woman so much.
