Chapter 222 Snow hate
There was a lot of noise inside and outside the Mu Mansion, and I don’t know how many people gathered here. In addition to the guests, there were also guests’ grooms, followers, servants, and even family members. The retainers and servants of the Mu Mansion were also busy.
Many guests walked through the south gate, but there were also many people in the east gate. Some of the birthday party was short of some things. Some servants had just bought them and were delivering them to the door. There was also the opera troupe in the Liyuan who was moving things, and the slaves of the Mu Mansion came to help.
Duan Xueheng was wearing the clothes of a servant, took a drum from a carriage, and walked straight into the west gate.
There was some dark powder puffing on her face, and her face looked as dark as many servants, but she was still a little nervous when she walked to the door. The dazzling sunshine made her a little uncomfortable with the rare sunshine.
Finally stepped into the threshold, she buried her head and walked towards the direction of ringing the gong, and felt a little relieved. No one asked her. Perhaps the people in the Mu family thought she was from the opera troupe, and the people in the opera troupe thought she was a slave of the Mu family.
Today Duan Xuehen sneaked into Mu's mansion, not for assassination, but for only one person: Hu Yi.
...Duan Xuehen's mother Duan Yang was arrested, and she had no way to save her mother; and she was not willing to sacrifice her life to do that in her heart.
There is only one person in this world who can make Duan Xuehen feel that everything is worth doing, that is her father, but he is already dead.
But she felt very complicated about her living mother. Her mother raised her and made her depend on her since she was a child; but her mother felt a lot of resentment, and sometimes she would inexplicably beat, scold and abuse Duan Xuehen.
In order to make her remember those hatreds, my mother only let Duan Xuehen hang out at night for many years. My mother said that she should remember that there are only endless night scenes in this world, but no blue sky.
Duan Xuehen often feels that his mother can hate and be pitiful.
However, her father was a perfect person. Duan Xueheng knew everything about her father through countless talks by her mother Duan Yang and detailed narratives. Although Duan Xueheng could not remember her father, because her mother said it very carefully, she felt that she had seen her father with her own eyes how good a man she was. Duan Xueheng firmly believed that if he was still alive, their mother and daughter's life would be full of laughter...
Previously, his mother was arrested by the King of Han, and Duan Xuehen thought that his mother would be released soon. But he has not yet!
According to their speculation, the King of Han should want to destroy the Mu family and then further occupy Yunnan; just as the King of Liang of the Yuan Dynasty had asked for the rest of his life, that's it! And their mother and daughter also wanted to cause the Mu family to suffer a catastrophe.
In this case, the King of Han let Duan Yang go and asked Duan Yang to continue to deal with the Mu Mansion. This would be beneficial to him. But the King of Han did not, and Duan Xuehen could not guess the reason for the moment.
However, the incident of his mother trapping the Han Palace reminded Duan Xueheng: the enemy's enemy is not necessarily a friend.
If you want to expose Mu Sheng’s crime to the enemy of the Mu family, in addition to the Han King who can do such a thing, there is another person, Hu Yi! This is the news that Duan Xuehen and his daughter had received before.
But now Duan Xuehen is becoming more and more careful. If she is also caught, who will avenge her father’s revenge?
So Duan Xuehen’s current plan is to observe in detail what Hu Yi is doing and who he is making friends with, and first see if there is a chance. She will no longer expose herself to Hu Yi and others.
She took the things and mixed in the busy crowd, came to the front hall of the Mu Mansion, quietly searching for Hu Yi.
The stage in the veil hall courtyard had been set up, and the musicians also came to both sides of the stage, but the play had not started yet. At this moment, Hu Yi's figure appeared near the stage.
Duan Xuehen continued to walk forward silently and sent the drum behind the stage.
She soon discovered that Hu Yi was looking at another person, a handsome young man in his teenage years, with beautiful eyes... Duan Xuehen had seen this person, who had been with Mu Sheng's daughter Mu Zhen. Now, the little girl next to the young man was Mu Zhen.
...The handsome young man is naturally Geng Hao.
At this moment, surrounded by a group of actors, Li Lou, who had already dressed up, walked to the back of the stage. Mu Zhen, a cousin next to Geng Hao, said with a look of surprise: "Li Lou is here first!"
After hearing this, Geng Hao looked in the voice. He really didn't know where Li Louxian made his cousin so obsessed. He went to watch the plays that Li Louxian sang several times in a row, and Geng Hao just wanted to accompany his cousin, otherwise he might not have watched them.
Li Louxian seemed to hear Mu Zhen's voice and actually walked towards this side!
Mu Zhen looked a little flattered. Geng Hao couldn't help but think: That's just an actor. My cousin is much more noble than her. Is it a crime?
"I didn't watch all the new dramas that Miss Li arranged last time. I left for something. Can Miss Li still sing today?" Mu Zhen asked politely.
Li Louxian had a smile in his eyes, but she didn't dare to smile with confidence, and she was wearing makeup on her face. She spoke very gently and said in a gentle voice: "Reply to Miss Mu's words, I will sing the second scene. Today, the entire opera troupe was invited by the King of Han, which was a gift from the King of Han to Mrs. Mu. There was also a gift from the King of Han to Miss Mu."
"Why did the King of Han give me something?" Mu Zhen asked softly, looking slightly at Geng Hao.
Li Lou had already taken out a booklet from his arms, "I have copied the script of "The West Chamber" by myself. In order to finish copying, I stayed up for a while last night. Today I am a little late. If the lady sees the Marquis of Xiping, I hope the lady will apologize for me."
After taking the playbook, Mu Zhen immediately threw away her worries just now, and was overjoyed for a moment.
Li Louxian bent his knees slightly and said, "I dare not let the guests of the Hou Mansion wait for a long time, so I will say goodbye first."
Mu Zhen pointed to the playbook and said, "Thank you Miss Li."
At this time, Geng Hao was already full of soreness and bitterness! He glanced at the box containing the pearl bracelet in his hand... My cousin said it was beautiful, but he forgot it immediately after just one look; but the King of Han asked an actor to give him a broken drama book, and she just acted like a treasure!
Geng Hao thought to himself: People in this world are only rushing to rich and powerful people! I thought my cousin was untainted, but it was just that she did. Just because the Han King was powerful and powerful, it easily made my cousin excited like this... Are you afraid that you would rather be a concubine than follow a down-and-out person like me as a treasure?
Geng Hao was unwilling to argue with his cousin again. He had said clearly more than once: He hated the King of Han! But his cousin still didn't know how to restrain himself and turned a blind eye to his words.
Then what else to say?
"This is a playbook written by Li Louxian himself. My cousin knows that I like Li Louxian's play." Mu Zhen said carefully.
Geng Hao forced the anger in his chest, a smile appeared on his face, and nodded: "Can you lend me a look?"
At this time, Mu Zhen was a little hesitant. Geng Hao saw her holding the script hard with both hands, and his heart felt like a big bag of ice was stuffed into her, and his whole heart was cold.
Mu Zhen seemed to have made a great decision and finally handed over the broken "baby": "As long as it is mine, I will give it to you if my cousin wants it!"
Geng Hao received the hand and looked around.
At this time, a sound of silk, bamboo, gongs and drums sounded again on the stage, as if it was about to start singing. Mu Zhen turned to look at the stage, and Geng Hao said, "I'll come when I go."
Mu Zhen hurriedly said, "I'm waiting for you here. Don't walk around, cousin, I promised someone else."
Have you promised someone else? It was the official in the inner department just now who wanted to look at me like a thief.
Geng Hao took the playbook and went straight to a thatched cottage in the corner of the yard behind a row of corridors. He walked around the wall, lifted the curtain, cursed and threw the playbook into the pit! His enemies who killed his grandfather, his things were only worth throwing into the pit!
Geng Hao seemed to feel a little better, walked out of the thatched cottage, and an official in a green robe was looking at him with a smile, and immediately bowed to him again.
"You are..." Geng Hao hurriedly replied to the gift.
This person is considered young among officials, probably less than 30 years old. He said, "I am Hu Yi, the director of the Hu Department. How dare I ask the guy's name Gao?"
Geng Hao frowned and said, "I don't seem to know you, so I don't know what it costs?"
Guan'er, named Hu Yi, pointed to the box in Geng Hao's hand and said, "I have seen the young man in the main entrance building. But the young man didn't give the gift, but the person came in?"
Geng Hao said: "I know the people from the Mu family."
Hu Yi said: "Everyone who comes today knows Xiping Hou."
"It's not illegal to be punished, so there is no need to be interrogated." Geng Hao raised his legs and was about to leave.
"Hey! The guy misunderstood. I asked too much, there are any mistakes or mistakes." Hu Yi said, "But the guy threw away the beautiful girl's script, how do you explain it? I just saw that the girl seemed to like the script very much."
Geng Hao stopped immediately: "What do you mean? When did I throw the playbook into the pit? I accidentally fell down!"
"So that's it..." Hu Yi nodded, "Brother, I live on Baoensi Street in the east of the city, near the west end of the street. Please ask those shops nearby, and many people know that there is a Beijing official living there."
Geng Hao said: "Your Excellency is so strange. I have never known you, so why do you come to find you?"
Hu Yi said, "I'll just say first. If we can meet, that's fate. What if the guy wants to find me?"
Geng Hao shook his head, clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
Hu Yi was very annoying and said again: "I heard from the young man's accent, it seems that he came from the capital?"
Geng Hao walked without answering, without looking back. When he walked to the corner of the corridor in front, Geng Hao looked back and saw Hu Yi's eyes still showing him. Hu Yi saw him turning back and nodded slightly to indicate.
He thought to himself: Only worthy of the official wearing a blue official robe? I have seen so many things. If my grandfather was alive, I wouldn't be worthy of carrying shoes for me!
Geng Hao returned to the stage and found Mu Zhen. Sure enough, Mu Zhen saw him coming back empty-handed and immediately asked, "Cousin, where is my playbook?"
"I accidentally fell into the pit." Geng Hao said with a tough forehead. He was ready to be scolded by his cousin.
Unexpectedly, Mu Zhen was silent for a while, and then suddenly sighed "ah" and Geng Hao was a little confused and hurriedly said, "Cousin will scold me!"
Mu Zhen shook her head: "I know my cousin feels uncomfortable."
