Jin Mantang, who recently replaced the lovesickness troupe, is a very popular troupe in Yanjing city.

However, all the most popular theatrical troupes seem to be eager to get the approval of Duke Su, so they always have to make such a play for Duke Su to see first. As long as Ji Heng believes that he sings well, the play team is definitely good. Just like the original lovesickness class, Ji Heng seems to have the power to control the life and death of the Yanjing City drama team. He can make a drama team popular, and similarly, he can quickly make a drama team disappear.

Although in Jiang Li's view, it's really incredible. A grand duke, a descendant of general Jin Wu, seems to be in charge of the drama team. But sometimes I think it's understandable that people like Ji Heng have some connections with drama.

He was born beautiful, more gorgeous than the actors on the stage. He was born to stand in front of people and shine brightly, but he was not suitable to sing on stage in person, because he lived too sober and too cold to enter the dilemma of the world. Such a proud son of heaven is only suitable for standing under the stage, watching others' false joys and sorrows, and even disdaining to shed two drops of tears.

He just looked at it as a joke, just like the mocking smile on the corner of his lips.

On the second floor, the whole floor was probably pulled down by Ji Heng, and no one else was there. Jiang Li can come out of the tea room, wait until you reach the railing on the second floor, and look down, there is the stage.

You can clearly see the people on the stage, but it is one floor higher than the spectators on the first floor. Jiang Li guessed that this is Ji Heng's condescending angle. But it has to be said that watching a play like this has a more detached feeling than watching it directly off the stage. How to say, if you are too close to the actor, it is easy to enter the play. But close to the actor, but standing higher than the actor, you can clearly feel that this is a play. No matter how wonderful the play is, it is difficult for people to enter the play, and they will not be led by the emotions.

The famous actress of JinManTang is called xiaotaohong. She is a young woman. Because her face is covered with powder, she can't see her appearance clearly. But looking at the slim figure and soft singing, you should also be a rare wonderful person. No wonder the audience applauded so much, applauding one after another.

This play is called the "nine children's case".

The "nine children's case" is a famous story about a woman in the previous dynasty. The young woman's name is jiu'er. She became a kinsman with a scholar in the countryside. She plays harmoniously and the husband and wife love each other. Later, the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, got the first prize, became a senior official again, and was valued by a rich lady. The master of the rich lady wanted him to be a son-in-law, so the scholar hid his wife and children in his hometown and became a relative with the rich lady.

Jiuer and Xiaozi, who were far away in their hometown, didn't know that their husband had become someone else's husband, but suddenly one day, scholars stopped sending letters from home. When the house leaks, it rains all night. Jiu'er's son has a bad disease, and the family is poor and has no money to cure the disease. Helpless, jiu'er has to take his young son to the capital to find a husband. After thousands of hardships and coldness from others, I finally came to the capital. But on the streets of the capital, I saw my husband and another woman behave intimately.

The scholar refused to recognize jiu'er and made jiu'er beat up and kicked out. Nine son knew that he had already had a wife and children, and had long forgotten all his wives at home. Jiu'er's son didn't get any money in the capital. Seeing the doctor, coupled with the long journey and tiredness, he soon died of illness.

Nine son lost her husband and son. She was in pain, so she threw herself into the lake in a river in front of the scholar's door. After her death, she turned into a green bird and cried loudly at the door of the scholar's house all day long, causing everyone to stop. The emperor was alarmed by this matter and ordered the officials to investigate it thoroughly. Knowing that the scholar was such a ungrateful person, he cut off the heavy responsibility of his official position, and the rich lady also separated from him. The scholar finally ended up with nothing, and he froze to death before he could survive the severe winter.

This story was made up by a storyteller in the previous dynasty, but because it was very wonderful, it made people deeply sympathize with the experience of jiu'er in it. Later, it was put on the stage by the drama team and became a very famous play. Women love to watch such a gentle and sad story, and will follow the nine sons in it to cry, while men sigh. Although it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, there is also the saying that "a wife who is a chaff will not go to court". No wonder God can't watch such a person who breaks virtue in the end.

When Jiang Li first heard this story, she was a little girl in Tongxiang. At that time, she was young and would not cry with her. She was just angry about the injustice suffered by jiu'er. He also told Xue Zhao that if he knew that the man beside him was such a wolf, he would never die in front of the scholar, but would die with the scholar with a knife. Xue Zhao also said at that time, "at that time, you will certainly be reluctant."

She sniffed, why can't she give up, but she was a white eyed wolf worse than an animal. Nine children in the story actually read the good things of the past. I don't know if the person who made up this story failed to figure out, and there was a mistake.

At that time, she didn't understand, but she didn't expect that many years later, the story seemed to be a reprint, which was engraved in her life again. She became another nine. Earth shaking changes have taken place in life, and lies, betrayals, rumors and injuries are full of the last time.

But there is one thing she hasn't changed from beginning to end. Now, ask her again, and she can still say that she has nothing to give up.

When the other party chooses to betray, it is to cut off all the past friendship with a sword. What others don't care about, but you keep it carefully. It's not called kindness, it's called contempt.

She will never let others look down on her.

The little Taohong on the stage, called jiu'er, finally found her husband, but the husband avoided it and refused to recognize it. Xiaosheng sang, "it's not that I don't recognize you, but that I'm afraid of taking a wrong step and disaster."

Xiao jiu'er said, "if you take a wrong step, you'll be in trouble. It's clear that you got a new man and forgot your old kindness.

I want to study and learn in Junzhou at the beginning, and my wife is filial to your parents before your church,

I'll send you to the examination in the new year, and I'll tell my husband a thousand words before I leave

Tell you to turn around in the middle or not, and you must know that your parents are old and your children are connected

Who would have guessed that you had been gone for three years and your parents starved to death in the drought in Huguang

It's hard to bury your parents after they die. Take your children and find you

You don't care about the kindness between husband and wife, and you don't kiss your own children

Pat your chest and think about it. Can you say that you are an iron heart? "

The people on the stage were crying, and Jiang Li was as worried as a knife. It's hard not to let her think of herself because of all kinds of singing. Just as jiu'er didn't understand that she did nothing wrong and did everything well, why did her husband hide himself. Jiang Li also wanted to ask Shen Yurong, is prosperity really so good that even human nature can be abandoned, don't you want anything?

What's more, there are her children.

Her children were buried in this dirty conspiracy before they were born into the world. When Shen Yurong sacrificed him, did he have any hesitation, knowing that his blood was flowing on the child?

Jiang Li didn't dare to think about it.

On the other side, Lu Ji, who had been watching the play, suddenly said, "here, Miss Jiang Er looked very carefully."

All three looked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li turned sideways to them, her eyes drooping low, but she stared at the people under the stage, obviously looking very carefully. If you look carefully, you can see that she is firmly grasping the edge of the carved fence on the second floor. The joints of her hands are white, and she is grasping hard.

She is addicted to the play.

"What's this?" Kong Liu didn't think so. "Miss Jiang ER was jealous of evil, and she was clear about good and evil. The play was so choked that everyone who listened to it was angry. Miss Jiang ER was impressed by the play, and it was normal to listen a little more."

"It's normal to be fascinated by the play and fluctuate," Lu Ji said with a smile, "but this is Miss Jiang er."

What kind of person is Miss Jiang er? She seems to smile at any time. Even when she doesn't smile, she is as gentle as a stream. She is calm and gentle. She can hardly see her anger or impatience. Such a temperament is tepid in some people, but in Miss Jiang Er, people with a little eyesight can probably see that Miss Jiang Er doesn't care.

In other words, most things are unimportant in her eyes. There is no need to take unimportant matters to heart. This is a state of mind that can only be possessed after experiencing a great turning point in life. It usually appears in the elderly who have experienced the world.

Even if Miss Jiang Er once "killed her mother and killed her brother" and was sent to an nunnery to stay alone for eight years, it is not as if she is now, a kind of Wen Chun who has experienced great storms.

In a word, Jiang Li won't take small things to heart. Will people who don't even care about people who may ruin their reputation in life feel the same for a small drama?

Others may, but Miss Jiang Er will not. If she does anything different because of this play, it can only show that this play touched her. In her past life, there are some things that coincide with this play.

This is empathy.

Ji Xuan's fingertips brushed the white handle of the fan, and suddenly stood up, looking at Jiang Li with some interesting eyes, and slowly approached Jiang Li.

"He..." when Kong Liu wanted to speak, Lu Ji pulled him down. Lu Ji made a "shush" gesture to him and said, "have a good time."

Xiao jiu'er was still singing: "my husband recruited his son-in-law in Kyoto, and I wandered into the palace to hold a pipa

Hateful, once he became rich, ungrateful, he... He abandoned his hair

I'm his wife's room, and I once remember going to the examination hall

Whether he is right or not, he will return to his hometown

Unexpectedly, the drought was in Huguang, and the poor people were starving

Two parents in law starved to death in the thatched cottage and buried their two parents without money

Cut two wisps of green silk on your head and exchange two seats on the street

Everyone in the neighborhood said that the husband won the top prize

I brought my son and daughter to visit and begged along the door to Bianliang

MuchI palace courtyard broke through the door, and he kicked me

Fall by the palace gate... "

Getting married... Jiang Li thought in a trance, which was a lingering title, just like Shen Yurong's tenderness to her at the beginning. Such a mid autumn night, she also experienced a lot of night, each time is happy and satisfied. Who knows that there will be such a day when people think of the past, as if the sword went into the abdomen, and the knife saw the bone, which made people feel miserable?

She was almost confused whether it was just a drama of the "nine children's case" or her real self. She seems to have become nine children, and it seems that she is even more miserable than nine children.

At this time, a silk handkerchief was suddenly handed over.

White, without any embroidery, silky and smooth, it emits a subtle flowing brilliance under the light, which is very soft at first glance.

"Wipe it." Ji Heng's voice still sounded calm. He said, "the second young lady's appearance of pear blossom with rain is really not very good."

Jiang Li didn't care about his unpleasant words, and hurriedly reached out to touch her cheek, but she felt that her cheek was wet, and she didn't know when she cried.

She actually cried.

Subconsciously, Jiang Li wanted to pick up Ji Heng's handkerchief, but the next moment she woke up and said with a smile, "thank you, Grandpa, but I have it myself." She took out a light green veil from her arms. Although it was not as expensive as Ji Hu's gold, it was also very elegant, and wiped away her tears.

The action is calm like brushing away the dust.

But I don't want her to subconsciously smile, with tears in the corners of her eyes, unspeakably strange. Ji Heng also paused, noncommittal, took back his handkerchief and said to Jiang Li, "I didn't expect that Miss Jiang Er, such a hard hearted woman, would also cry." He said slowly, "I have to doubt that Miss Jiang Er is a theater fan."

"If the play is wonderful, just watch it. If it is not wonderful, don't watch it." Jiang Li also laughed, "they all say that Jin Mantang is the red team in Yanjing city. I have seen it today. That singing voice called little Taohong is easy to move people."

"What moves people is not little Taohong's singing, but the play itself." Ji Heng said, "Miss Jiang Er has just entered the play."

"Me?" Jiang Li glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile, "I'm not the person in the play. How to enter the play, the Duke of the state joked."

"The second young lady is good at acting, but not good at lying." Ji Xuan smiled and sighed, "your lie is really clumsy."

Jiang Li frowned slightly and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Ji Xuan suddenly lifted her chin and forced her to look up at her.

This posture was already extremely frivolous. Kong Liu next to him almost screamed out, and Lu Ji covered his mouth.

Jiang Li's heart was surprised. For a moment, she didn't know whether it was shame, anger or surprise, so she had to stare at Ji Heng directly.

Several times, I have seen Ji Hong so close, but no matter how many times, each time I see it, it will still be like the surprise when I first saw it. His light red robe was loose, and the peony embroidered on the collar was exquisite and neat, which made him even more gorgeous in his sad singing. It's like a red lotus blooming in the white winter, which is dazzling with scorching heat. It is also like seeing a bright moon in the reflection of the abyss, which is beautiful and frightening.

His eyes are light and transparent amber, but the outline of his eyes is naturally deep, so it looks like a natural eyebrow drawing, drawing the same hook. The shape of his nose is ugly, and his lips are thin and red. Even the merciless ridicule makes people want to rush forward to get a kiss recklessly.

With a smile in his mouth, he slowly leaned forward, the closer and colder he was. His eyes made people hold their breath, but his voice was vague and hoarse. He said, "eyes are emotions, your eyes have betrayed your heart."

Jiang Li said, "I didn't."

"There is someone in your heart." He said.

Jiang Li: "I didn't."

"This person is in your heart. You don't love him, but you hate him." He said with a smile.

Jiang Li was stunned, and the sentence "I didn't" couldn't say anything.

Young men are like demons who know people's minds. Everything in the world is invisible in his eyes. Jiang Li couldn't help wondering whether this person could see through all the lies and understand all the betrayals. Because his charming eyes can sink everyone, but not himself.

He is too sober to be happy.

At this moment, Jiang Li was inexplicably relaxed. In these several battles with Suguo Gongji Chen, there was no time when she was in the upper hand. Although she was not in the lower hand, Jiang Li knew in her heart that the kind of pressing pressure really made her very uncomfortable. But at this moment, she understood that people like Suguo Gongji can really see everything clearly. But most people who live too clearly and understand too well work hard.

where ignorance is bliss , ti 's folly to be wise.

It seems that at last there is one thing, Ji Xuan is doomed to have no way to surpass herself. Jiang Li suddenly bent her eyebrows and eyes, as if her tight body was also relaxed at that moment. She looked at Ji Heng and said with a smile, "whatever the LORD said, it's what it is."

I didn't expect Jiang Li to suddenly compromise. It was so easy to say, and an accident flashed in Ji Heng's eyes.

Jiang Li slightly broke away from Ji Hu's hand. Ji Hu loosened the fingers that picked up his chin and stroked the folding fan again. He became polite again and put on his sheepskin.

"The Duke of the state loves watching plays so much that he is not afraid to be laughed at by others one day."

Ji Xuan's eyes deepened slightly, as if she hadn't expected that Jiang Li not only didn't step back, but also said such provocative words.

"Miss Jiang Er thinks I'm a person who can enter the play?" He shook his fan gently and said, "I'm not as kind as the second miss."

It means that he is not as kind as Jiang Li, and will not cry for unimportant people and the joys and sorrows of others.

"A play is a play. It can't be true." He almost lingering spit out cruel sentences.

"People who are in the play don't know they are in the play." Jiang Li whispered, "just as I met a story that moved me here, maybe one day, you will also encounter it."

She said gentle words, looking at Ji Heng's eyes, but with a trace of stubbornness. This makes her look like a "little girl" at last, but the way she speaks is still so euphemistic and meaningful.

"That will ruin the play," Ji Heng smiled kindly, "I'm not an actor."

This simple and rude words is really Ji Heng's style! Jiang Li is a little stuffy. Ji Heng is a dictator in his heart. He doesn't have to consider other people's ideas or care about other people's opinions. There has long been a steelyard in his heart, and he just needs to add weights to it.

No one can become his weight, so it is doomed that no one will become his weakness. He is doomed not to be coerced by anyone. He has no weakness, so everyone is afraid of him.

Jiang Li said coldly, "then I wish the LORD would always be a theater goer like today!" She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she had to come here to fight Ji Heng. People like Ji Hong had better not associate more and hide as far as they can.

But this man was able to easily provoke her inner spirit, and involuntarily talked too much with him. He is really a master at playing with people's hearts!

However, in this world, it is not uncommon for those who play with eagles to let Eagles peck their eyes.

Jiang Li said, "when it's thick, it will wither, and when it's light, it's often deep." With a faint hum in her heart, she turned and walked to the other end of Kong Liu.

Ji Heng stood in situ stunned. After thinking clearly, she almost couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Li is warning him that the thinner things are, the deeper they may be in the end. The more he goes too far, he will inevitably suffer retribution in the future.

Kong Liuzheng and Lu Ji muttered how to look at Ji Xuan and Jiang Li as if they were going to quarrel. They suddenly saw Jiang Li coming. He squeezed out a kind smile and said to Jiang Li, "why is Miss Jiang Er coming? Don't you continue to look?"

"Nothing to see." Jiang Li's smile was mild and modest. She couldn't see that she had just fought head-on with Ji Heng. She said, "this story has been seen many times, and it's too tragic. Today's Mid Autumn Festival, I don't want to be sad."

Kong Liu suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, "yes, yes, yes."

Ji Xuan stood at the carved railing with her chest in her arms. It was interesting to see that Jiang Li was able to cope with Kong Liu's greetings with ease. She was a little girl who could change her face, and her ability to change her face was quite good.

He glanced at the little pink that was still singing "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

It should not be Zhou Yanbang.

……

It's much easier to deal with straightforwardness like Kong Liu than Ji Chen. Even the smiling goatee next to him who always wants to talk with Jiang Li is easier to deal with than Ji Hu.

When dealing with Ji Heng, he is always generous to let people see another side that is different from his amorous beauty, such as cruelty, such as coldness.

Kong Liu even asked Jiang Li if he wanted to be an archer or cavalry in his light truck army. Her archery and equestrian skills are excellent, and she is no less than a man. Besides, she has never been trained before, and she can do so. After training in the army, she must be better. Although there is no woman in their cavalry, she can set a precedent.

Jiang Li has a headache.

Kong Liu's heart is too big. He seems to have forgotten that Jiang Li is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. Today's first daughter, Qianjin, who doesn't let Miss Qianjin do it and become a cavalry. Even if Jiang Li wanted to, Jiang Yuanbai wouldn't agree. About a letter would go up to Tianting and accuse Kong Liu of abducting the first lady.

Jiang Li declined politely.

Kong Liu is very sorry.

Lu Ji has been talking with Jiang Li with a smile, and occasionally asked about Jiang's family. Although he asked all small things, Jiang Li still sensitively realized that Lu Ji wanted to set him up. Jiang Li doesn't know Lu Ji, and she doesn't know what his idea is. Even if Lu Ji is Ji Chen's person, Jiang Li won't relax her vigilance. You should know that Ji Chen is not a good person. What if she wants to frame the Jiang family behind her back? Now she is leaning against the big tree of the yuan family. If the yuan family falls, she, a miss of the yuan family, is bound to have few ways to go.

Jiang Li smiled and answered Lu Ji, but avoided important questions one by one. Back and forth several times, Lu Ji also realized that Jiang Li noticed it, so he stopped asking questions, just smiled, and continued to quarrel with Kong Liu.

Ji Heng did nothing, but leaned against the carved railing to watch the "nine children's case". He looked carelessly, making people almost doubt whether he was watching it.

It is puzzling whether this is just a play of his.

I don't know how long I sat, Jiang Li intuitively said that the time for a column of incense has passed, so she got up and said, "several adults, I have to go back. If I can't find me, the second uncle will be anxious. It's not early now..."

"Then take you back!" Kong Liu waved his hand.

"Wait." Lu Ji stopped him and said, "after all, we are the people of the Lord of the country. Although it can be explained clearly, it is inevitable to cause misunderstanding. We are nothing. Miss Jiang Er is a girl's home. In order not to cause trouble to Miss Jiang Er, we still send miss Jiang Er to your brother. It is always better to explain to your brother."

Jiang Li is clear, which means that it is much easier to fool Jiang Jingrui than Lu's people.

Ji Heng said, "Wen Ji."

Wen Ji is surrounded by snow white and tong'er. After all, there is no bodyguard with such a sign in the Jiang family. Tong'er has been comparing Wen Ji and Jiang Jingrui, which is better. From eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth to the end, there is no reason to draw. Instead, Wen Ji blushed and was at a loss.

This time, hearing Ji's order, Wen Ji was able to get rid of the two girls and immediately said, "yes."

"Send Miss Jiang back." Ji Tao.

Wen Ji nodded and Jiang Li saluted Ji Heng, "thank you for your hospitality."

"You're welcome." Ji Ji chuckled, "see you later."

Jiang Li: "...."

I really hope that "someday" will be a hundred years later, no, a thousand years later.

At last, Jiang Li came out of the Wangxian building. Jiang Li breathed a little relieved. Looking back, Wangxian building stood in the busy street in the center of Yanjing City, with bright lights, like an unreal dream.

She suddenly found that the sightings she had thought of coming out today's Mid Autumn Festival were so confused by Ji Heng.

Although it was really thoughtful at the beginning, the confrontation and dispute with Ji Heng unexpectedly made those unwilling and painful people have no time to invade for a time. Up to now, they are all relaxed.

It can also be regarded as a mistake.

She said, "let's go."

When Jiang Jingrui was found, Wen Ji disappeared into the crowd. As soon as Jiang Jingrui saw her, he immediately said, "where did you just go? I've been looking for you, but I couldn't find it. I almost had to tell my mother to let her find a way!"

"I was pushed to a remote place by the crowd. It was so easy to come back." Jiang Li lied without changing her face, "it's all right now."

"Really?" Jiang Jingrui looked at her suspiciously: "why did you go so long? Your makeup is a little spent..."

"It's too hot to sweat." Jiang Li said, "now go to find the second aunt first. At this time, it's time to go back."

Jiang Jingrui was a little depressed. He had not got the white rabbit lantern, so he had to give up.

Jiang Li sighed in her heart. No wonder Lu Ji said that, Jiang Jingrui, it's really easy to fool.
