Chapter 54 Meeting Liu Shuhui Again
After hearing Dongsheng say this, Lu Lingyun felt that the man looked even more familiar.
She just couldn't remember it for the moment and was enjoying the show.
This is a new drama in which a woman disguises herself as a man to join the army, defeat the enemy army and then retire victoriously.
The play was staged extremely well, and the female lead was androgynous, full of heroic spirit and performed brilliantly.
At the end, the whole room cheered, and even Lu Lingyun couldn't help but cheer a few times.
Wang Qiluo was so excited that she wanted to see the actress in person, but unfortunately the troupe owner came over and told everyone that the actress was not seeing guests today.
Wang Qiluo was immediately disappointed.
"Girl, that's nothing. If you want to see him, I'll take you directly to the backyard." Dongsheng looked at him and replied.
Wang Qiluo immediately perked up, "Okay, let's go meet him."
Since Lu Lingyun had nothing to do, he let Wang Qiluo go with them to the backyard.
Dongsheng entered the Liu family troupe alone first. After he left, the troupe started moving things again and carried them back. Lu Lingyun and Wang Qiluo were standing at the edge of the yard. At this moment, a young man who was moving things slipped and a box of knives, spears, swords and halberds fell to the side.
As luck would have it, it hit the position of Lu Lingyun and Wang Qiluo.
Wang Qiluo was a brave woman. She had learned spear and stick fighting from her father since she was a child. She immediately protected Lu Lingyun behind her to shield her from danger, and went to face the fierce weapons herself.
She was quick to catch one or two swords, and then an oversized Green Dragon Crescent Blade fell straight towards Wang Qiluo.
The weapons of the opera troupe are just fancy stuff, but they are not fake. If the big sword falls directly on someone, he will definitely get injured.
In a flash, a man in a blue shirt and patched clothes rushed up.
"Bang!"
A muffled groan.
All the weapons thrown at Wang Qiluo and Lu Lingyun were blocked.
Wang Qiluo opened her eyes in surprise, and saw the back of a tall man in front of her, who was holding a long gun in one hand and knocking away all weapons.
"Qiluo!"
When Lu Lingyun came to her senses, she immediately grabbed Wang Qiluo and retreated several steps, looking at her nervously.
"How are you? Where are you hurt?"
As she finished speaking, the man turned around. After seeing Lu Lingyun and Wang Qiluo, he looked puzzled, "What are you doing here? This is not a place for people like you!"
When Lu Lingyun heard this, she was furious. She was calm and reasonable most of the time, but she became unreasonable when someone almost hurt her most important person. "Do you think you'll be fine after I said that? If my sister had been hurt today, your entire troupe would be finished!"
After she finished speaking, the man opposite stared at Lu Lingyun and snorted coldly, "So it really is you, you are as rude and unreasonable as ever."
Lu Lingjun paid a glance to the person in front of him. Against the light, the man in a green shirt with patches on his body was none other than Liu Shuhui, whom he had dealt with once before!
All of a sudden, Lu Lingyun remembered that no wonder the actress on the stage just now looked so familiar, it turned out that he was playing the role!
She didn't know what to say for a moment. At this time, Wang Qiluo spoke, "Lingyun, I'm fine."
Wang Qiluo turned to look at Liu Shuhui and thanked him gently, "Thank you for your help, sir."
"Hmph, you are more reasonable than your sister." Liu Shuhui snorted coldly.
Lu Lingyun: "......"
"Don't blame me, sir. My sister is also worried about me. I don't know your name. I'd like to come and thank you for saving my life..."
"No need to worry about it. It's just a small matter. Just stop causing trouble for others and then blaming them for it."
After Liu Shuhui finished speaking, he no longer looked at Lu Lingyun and Wang Qiluo and walked away.
Lu Lingyun: "......"
Meeting this stubborn donkey brought bad luck to her good days.
"It's really unlucky to run into him." Lu Lingyun spoke out what was in his mind.
"Lingjun, do you know that young man?" Wang Qiluo asked while staring at him.
"I know him. His name is Liu Shuhui. He is a candidate for the imperial examination in Beijing."
"Oh, so he is a scholar." Wang Qiluo muttered.
At this time, Dongsheng led a young girl out from inside, "Miss, Miss Wang, I brought the Hua Dan Qiaojie here."
The girl's lips were pale and she didn't look very well, as if she was sick. Moreover, it was clear at a glance that she was not the leading actress today.
"Aren't you today's leading lady?" Wang Qiluo looked at her and said.
"Yes, miss, I caught a cold yesterday, so someone else took my place as the Hua Dan today," Qiaojie said softly.
Dongsheng followed suit and said, "Miss, what a coincidence, do you know who is standing in for Qiaojie today?"
Lu Lingyun: "......"
She knew it. She had seen it.
"Who is it?"
"It's Liu Shuhui who was at the inn last time!"
"It's him!" Wang Qiluo exclaimed.
"Yes, Brother Liu is my brother's good friend. My brother died suddenly some time ago, and it was he who took care of my brother. I caught a cold these two days, and Brother Liu came to see me. The owner insisted that I go on stage, so he took my place for a day." Qiaojie looked at Lu Lingyun and Wang Qiluo leisurely, "I hope the ladies don't tell others, Brother Liu will take the imperial examination next year, and Qiaoer doesn't want to affect him."
After she finished speaking, Dongsheng whispered in Lu Lingyun's ear.
"Miss, Qiaojie is the sister of the scholar who fell from the inn. She is also a miserable person. In order to help her brother go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, she sold herself to the opera troupe to raise money for the journey."
Lu Lingyun heard this and said, "We won't say anything nonsense."
"I didn't expect that young man to have such a chivalrous heart." Wang Qiluo said, and she asked the maid to give Qiaojie a big red envelope, "You should take good care of yourself, and I will come to watch your troupe's performances often in the future."
"Thank you, Miss." Qiaojie accepted the reward gratefully.
Lu Lingyun also gave a reward, and then left their backyard with Wang Qiluo.
Along the way, Wang Qiluo kept saying, "Lingyun, it's really interesting that Mr. Liu can actually sing opera."
Lu Lingyun knew some of Liu Shuhui's past history. His father died early, and his biological mother used to be an opera singer. Probably when he was a child, his mother sang to make a living.
"Okay, don't tell anyone. I still have to take the imperial examination in the future."
"Of course, I won't tell anyone." Wang Qiluo's eyes flickered, "But I did meet an interesting person."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
Liu Shuhui is interesting? If she knew how stinky and tough that person was, would she still be able to say he was interesting?
Lu Lingyun kept silent and went shopping with Wang Qiluo again. When dusk was approaching, they returned to their respective homes.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, she heard the servant come to report.
"Madam, you are back."
"What is it?"
"I received a message from your mother's family saying that your mother has been unwell these days. If you have time, please go back and see her."
