Drunken Crane Immortal

Chapter 3 Lantern Festival

Aying used to be a singer in an opera troupe. When she was young, she looked good and had a beautiful figure. There were many rich men who were willing to praise her.At that time, I was young and thought I could keep singing, but then my voice broke and I couldn't sing any more. I had no choice but to sell myself to the Sheng family and became a servant of the Sheng family. The Huaquan she married was originally raised by the Sheng family. He and his son will have to be sold to the Sheng family in the future.

The master of the Sheng family is the minister of the Ministry of War in the current dynasty. There are already two sons and a daughter in the family. He was almost doted on and became a tyrant in the capital.

A Ying works as a helper in the kitchen, and when the child is left unattended at home, she will take him to Sheng's house.There are also other domesticated boys and girls who will follow their parents and stay there to play. As long as they take care of their hands and feet, these are not beyond the rules, and the master doesn't care about it.

When Aying's child was seven or eight years old, everyone just called him Xiaohua Xiaohua. As for the name his father gave him, almost no one knew.

Xiaohua looks like a little girl, beautiful and quiet. The other cubs at this age are covered in mud all day long. When they climb up and down without stopping for a while, he just follows his mother and sits outside on a small bench to help pick vegetables.

Aying specifically told him that it is fine to play here, not to go to the south courtyard, and try not to go through all the roads to the south courtyard - the second young master with a bad temper lives there, in case they run into each other, If you make him unhappy, it will cause a lot of trouble, life is cheap, and killing is just a word from others.

When Xiao Hua celebrated her ninth birthday, a guest came to the house. He was handsome, wearing a white robe, tall and straight, with some wrinkles on his forehead, and looked out of place with their dilapidated house.

When Aying saw this man, she felt embarrassed, wiped her hands quickly, asked him to sit down, and asked Xiaohua to pour tea for the guest.

The man took the teacup, asked Xiaohua to come over, looked at his hands, touched his head, and said to Aying: "Yunqing, do you really want the child to be a house slave for the rest of his life? He looks so upright, It's a pity to be a slave to the Sheng family."

A Ying showed an embarrassed expression, wiped her hands on her body, sat on the side, and said, "Boss Song, my name is no longer Yun Qing."

Yunqing was Aying's name when she was in the arts, time has changed, and she no longer wants to hear someone call her that, it just adds to the sadness of things being different.

Song Yunyue coughed lightly and said, "Sorry."

Aying waved her hand, looked at the obediently standing child, and sighed, "Of course I don't want him to be a slave forever, but I can't help it. His parents are slaves, so what can he do?"

Song Yunyue said: "I came here this time to tell you about this - the housekeeper of the Sheng family invited me to teach the actor raised at home. If you are willing, I will also pick this child in and do it. It’s better to be an actor than to work as a miscellaneous person behind the master. Although they are also domesticated, they can get rewards from the master every year and festivals. If the master likes it, the situation will be much better. After a long time, maybe you can redeem yourself.”

A Ying's expression loosened, she looked at Xiao Hua, asked him to come over, and said, "What about you? Do you want to sing a song?"

The child didn't know what was good and what was not, so he just said: "Mother wants me to go, so I will go."

A Ying immediately wanted to shed tears, touched his face, and said: "Good boy, mother will not harm you, but you will have to suffer when you first go, are you willing to suffer?"

The child looked at his mother's face, nodded and said, "I am willing."

Song Yunyue gave him a new name and became a domesticated actor, so he moved into the West Garden and lived with other actors. The time he spent with his parents shortened, and he was used by the master every day. The stick is pumping and hanging his throat to practice his body.

Three years later, the flowers gradually bloomed like water, and their figures also looked good. The mansion would let them come out to sing a few times during festivals, and when the masters rested, they could go back to their respective homes for a meal.

Although there are not as many spectators singing in the mansion, there are always people who are tempted.This time during the Lantern Festival, before Hua Zhaoshui had time to change out of her outfit, she was stopped by a nobleman and forced him to accompany her for a drink.

These little actors depended on their master's favor to live a better life, and naturally the master's guests could not be offended, so Hua Zhaoshui had to sit and accompany them for a while, and was downed with a lot of sake.He is usually afraid of spoiling his throat, so he must never drink alcohol or tobacco. After drinking like this for a while, he will become dizzy and his cheeks will turn red after a while.

Master got Song Yunyue's entrustment, so he took extra care of him, and found that he never went back, so he came over in a hurry and took him away.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Huazhaoshui still stumbled, but the master had other things to do, so he let him sit in the back garden to sober up, and went back to call other actors to help him, so he left him and walked away up.

Huazhaoshui drank the wine and got hot, and she couldn't sit still, so she stumbled towards the windy place. As she walked, she saw a light in front of her, as if a group of people were going to pass by here.Although he was drunk, he still instinctively wanted to dodge immediately, but he couldn't see the way clearly, and he tripped within two steps, trying to get up in a panic.

After such a short time, the pedestrian approached and saw someone blocking the way. The boy who led the way took a light and said, "Second young master, it seems that an actor has fallen."

When Hua Zhaoshui heard the word "Second Young Master", she was so frightened that she forgot all the etiquette, got up and was about to run back.

"Stop!" The young servant who was following him grabbed him back within two steps, pressed him in front of the second young master, and scolded, "Where did such a rude actor come from? He turned around and ran away when he saw his master. What did he do? No?"

Hua Zhaoshui fell to the ground, knelt down tremblingly, bowed her head and kowtowed, and said, "See you, see the second young master."

The second young master had just come down from the banquet and wanted to get some air, but he didn't expect to bump into a daredevil.There was no expression of happiness or displeasure on his face, he just looked at the kneeling person and said, "Look up."

The man below was trembling with fright, his eyes were still downcast and he didn't dare to look at him, he just lifted his chin to let him see.

The second young master laughed when he saw it, and said: "I heard that the actors raised in the mansion are wonderful, Ming Yu, when will there be such a little girl among the actors?"

The servant named Ming Yu hurriedly answered, "I didn't see the young master when I was singing just now. This is not a girl, but a male actress."

The boy who led the way next to him seemed to be asking for credit, and then he said, "I saw him—Master Chu is very interested in him, and he just saved a drink."

As soon as these words came out, Ming Yu glared at the boy.The expression of the second young master here also changed, he snorted disdainfully, stepped forward to pinch his chin, and looked at him carefully for a while.

Hua Zhaoshui was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and let him play with her, her eyes widened in horror.

"You're so timid, will your legs shake when you go on stage?" The second young master smiled, withdrew his hand, and said, "I don't know how to behave when I see the master, what else is there to sing about? Cut off your tongue and throw it into the woodshed Go help."

Hua Zhaoshui was terribly frightened, completely drunk, hurriedly tugged at the hem of his clothes, and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me, I don't dare anymore, Master."

Ming Yu knows this guy's temper, and it's just a matter of killing someone in a moment of temper, but Boss Song specially entrusted him to take care of this, the master has a friendship with Boss Song, it really ruined the face of the person there make life difficult for.

The makeup of the actor kneeling below was covered with tears, Ming Yu complained in his heart, thinking that he was so damn talkative, so he hurried to persuade him: "Master, it's better not to see bloody things during the festival, Madam is a Buddhist chanter Good-hearted people, I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy if you find out, he’s just a lowly servant, just send him away, why bother causing trouble because of him, don’t you think, young master?”

The second young master said in a bad tone, "I want to dismiss an actor and I have to think about it. Could it be that you are the young master?"

Ming Yu knelt down with a puff, and hurriedly gave himself two mouthfuls, saying: "You are stupid, and you can say all kinds of unpleasant things. Of course you are the young master, you have the final say."

Hua Zhaoshui wept miserably, knelt down at the young master's feet, and continued to beg for mercy: "Master, please forgive me. I was drunk just now and ran into the young master when I was not sober. The young master does not remember the fault of the villain. Forgive me." A slave."

Ming Yu thought it was over, this guy is so bad tempered, he is not happy at the moment, and everything will offend him.

"Jian Wei, why didn't you see anyone for a long time when you said it out?" Here weeping, kneeling, angry and angry, they were in a stalemate, when a light came from the opposite side, and the person walking in front was wearing the official uniform of the Jinwu Guard, talking It was the eldest young master Sheng Jianling.

Seeing his elder brother coming, the second young master cupped his hands and called out: "Elder brother."

Sheng Jianling frowned and looked at the miserable servants here, and said, "Go back quickly, Dad is looking for you—why are you kneeling on the ground again, why did they provoke you?"

Sheng Jian said with a slightly cold face, "When I went out to blow some air, I met a young actor who didn't know how to be polite."

"Forget it, it's a big holiday, worry about what to do, go back first." Sheng Jianling patted him on the shoulder, signaled to Ming Yu, and called Sheng Jianwei away first.

Seeing the master walking away, Ming Yu went to pull flowers to illuminate the water again, and said: "It's alright, don't cry, go back quickly, our young master's temper comes and goes quickly, next time you see him hide and go - but don't Turn around and run away again, making him even more angry."

Hua Zhaoshui stood up staggeringly, thanked him, and wiped away her tears pitifully with her sleeves.

Ming Yu sighed, and said: "That young master Chu, our young master has long disliked him. Today is really a coincidence. Just now at the banquet, the old master choked on a few words because of that young master Chu. Happy, you bumped into me again now. Go back quickly."

Hua Zhaoshui let out a hey, and went back to greet the master first, washed his makeup and changed his clothes. After all this tossing, it was almost dawn, and all the masters in the mansion had gone to rest, so he could go home to see it when he was free. Look at the parents.
