pick up jade

Chapter 1

Yu Dongrong sat in the garden of the Zhou Mansion, looking at the stage with a little tiredness.The stage was bustling with activity, singing "Peach Blossom Meeting".The troupe they invited were new to the city and not yet well-known, but their singing was not bad, and they deserved a good name.It's just that being a pie is a little unbearable.

Mr. Zhou is sixty-three this year, and this meeting is He Ta's seventh concubine.Young Master Yu had a smile on his face, and Ji Qing's tongue was full of words, but he didn't think so in his heart.However, he didn't think so very confidently, because his biological mother was Commander Yu's ninth concubine.

It's just that these things have become nothing important now.His father led a large family to work comfortably as an apartment in Weiyang City, and his concubine's son was busy making money in Yandu.Everyone is also considered a group of harmony.

Everyone knows that Commander Yu's Seventh Young Master is a wonderful person.Know how to promote, know how to measure, know how to advance and retreat, and know how to behave.The most interesting thing to talk about is that he has a top-notch appearance, and he is a first-class handsome man.In fact, if a man is born too beautiful, he will always have a bit of femininity.But because of his background and bearing, this bit of childishness was forcibly suppressed, and on the contrary, he added a romantic and unrestrained meaning.

The flamboyant and unrestrained Young Master Yu Qi is a bit miserable right now.Because the theater troupe, which is not on stage, recruited many actors to accompany them, the distinguished guests.Although similar activities are common in low-level businesses, it would be very disrespectful to Young Master Yu Qi to put them on the table on such an occasion.

Everything has a line of measure.It's romantic inside the line, but it's dirty outside the line.Seventh Young Master has some rigid ideas about this kind of thing.This made him naturally tired of the banquet.But his face was still calm, others looked at him and thought he was just a bit too drunk.

There are many guests, but few actors to accompany the wine.Seeing that Yu Dongrong's side was empty, some felt very considerate and sent their little actor over to accompany him.Yu Qi was joking, and thanked him politely in a few words, but he couldn't thank him, after all, there was someone sitting next to him.The little girl of twenty-eight, with a little makeup on her face, is very sophisticated in serving people.It also seemed that because of Yu Dongrong's beauty, he was extra attentive to him.

Yu Dongrong ate a few mouthfuls of cold dishes with the girl, and felt more and more boring. He was thinking of finding some way to escape, when another group of actors came over.As soon as they walked into the light, the chatter and laughter of the guests gradually died down.

For a moment, there was only a gentle Nanqu on the stage: "Breaking Zhuang Zhou's dream, flying the east wind with two wings. There are [-] famous gardens, one is picked and one is empty. Whoever wants to plant flowers will kill the bees that are looking for fragrance. Fly lightly, and sell them The flower man fanned across the east side of the bridge..."

The leading male role is certainly beautiful, but the one behind him is even more astonishing.

It was a young man with extremely thick brows and eyes, and his face seemed to have been carefully sculpted by the gods.Because it is so beautiful that there is no smoke and fire, but it reveals an icy coldness.

At first glance, Yu Dongrong's reaction was that this little actor was wearing makeup.It was later discovered that it was not, that appearance was natural, because the complexion was too pale and the facial features were too sharp.

Young Master Yu Qi is a beauty himself, and he also loves to appreciate beauties, he looked at the cold little actor with a smile, and looked at him carefully for a while.

Talking and laughing became louder again, or rather, toned down laughter.

The beauty was quickly pulled onto Prince Rui's lap.Then there is no way to see it.What do people think of a white peacock being driven into a muddy pond by a wild boar?Prince Rui is notoriously licentious, I'm afraid this little actor will have to bear it tonight.

Young Master Yu feels sorry for this beautiful young man.On the pretext of sobering up, he left the banquet and wandered casually in the garden.It was too early to say goodbye, so I had to find something else to do for myself.Communication was not so much his life as his work.

His good friend Miss Yao San was chatting and laughing with people at the poker table, when she saw Yu Dongrong, she said angrily, "Seventh brother, come and save me, my emerald earrings are going to be lost."

Yu Dongrong glanced at the gentlemen and wives at the poker table, and joked: "If you lose, you lose. Anyway, it doesn't suit you." He said this, and walked over to play cards for Miss Yao.The wives said with half annoyance and half smiles: "That's not okay, Young Master Yu has always been lucky, Miss San is cheating."

Yu Dongrong flipped over a card, threw it out, and pretended to be annoyed: "Ah, I can't help boasting."

Hu Lie's wife beamed with joy.Miss San Yao gave Yu Dongrong a thump, took off her big shining earrings, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and handed them to Mrs. Yan who was opposite while breathing in air-conditioning, annoyed: "Okay, a car is gone."

Mrs. Yan pretentiously declined, and accepted happily.This earring has a long history. It was a treasure that Fan Bang paid tribute to the palace.Later, the emperor fell from power and flowed out of the palace again.Just this story alone mentions the identity of the owner.

Yu Dongrong smiled lightly.Mrs. Yan's husband is about to be promoted to deputy chief.Others didn't know about it, but he and Miss Yao San knew about it early in the morning.

Everyone chatted while playing cards, and inevitably they also talked about the host's family.A wife is a fan of the theater, and she said happily: "This and the spring troupe sound very good. I'm afraid there are a few actors who will become popular in the future. It's strange to say that the church will invite some troupes from the city, and this one has not yet appeared." I sang it in the city, but I don’t know how I connected with Zhou’s family.”

"Hey, it's not surprising that someone recommends you because of relatives in the Liyuan tour."

Someone who came from the other side of the stage sighed: "It's nothing else, there is a boy, I heard they called Xiao Yulin, he was really good."

"That's it. Don't look like a glass man, you have a big temper. I heard that when I was in Huaizhou, I beat and killed a county magistrate!"

Now everyone became interested: "What's the matter, can you still sing in peace after beating someone to death?"

The gossip guy might have heard it from hearsay, so he said in a vague way: "Then who knows. I heard that their team leader paid the boss a lot of money for this matter, so he took the team north to make a living..."

Someone turned to Yu Dongrong again: "Young Master Yu has something to do now."

Yu Dongrong has won two opera singers, and now they are all so popular.Unknowingly, he became a half-star in others' mouths.Yu Dongrong himself didn't have much self-consciousness, he just saw that people sang well and looked good, so he did his duty as a rich theater fan.If it is said that he is really obsessed with that actor, then he is not.He doesn't have that time either.It's one thing to like to listen to operas, and more often, such things as supporting roles are also for the sake of embellishing himself.

So he smiled noncommittally.

The topic of everyone turned to the current situation and business under the guidance of the gentlemen.

Miss Yao San thought something was up, so Lai sat at the poker table talking and laughing happily with others.Yu Dongrong intentionally or unintentionally lost more than 1000 yuan to Mrs. Yan.Really bored, he planned to change to another quiet place to rest for a while and leave.

Everywhere in the Zhou Garden was very lively, he strolled slowly and unknowingly went astray.It's autumn, the moon hangs on the branches, it's deserted, it's a night as cool as water.

A few cries of pain came from the sudden shadow, and Yu Dongrong was startled.Walking around the corridor, I saw a spherical figure lying on the ground, and a thin and healthy figure stood next to the beauty in the corridor not far away.

Hearing footsteps, half of the shadow's face turned from the shadows and fell into the moonlight.It was that little Yulin.

The boy was surprised when he saw someone.However, the coldness quickly returned to his face.He gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Dongrong without saying a word.

Yu Dongrong walked over and saw that Lord Rui had passed out.He said without changing his face: "Why are you standing there stupidly, let's go quickly."

Now it was Xiao Yulin's turn to be surprised.

Yu Dongrong patted the dust that didn't exist on his body lightly, and walked back calmly.Halfway there, a gust of wind blew past him, and Xiao Yulin ran in front of him as if flying.

Young Master Yu Qi smiled, thinking that this child is really interesting.
