Chapter 6 Painting in Building

Waking up from a nightmare again.

Gu Jie supported his forehead and sat up against the pillow.In the empty room, facing Gu Jie's bed, there is a mirror installed.The mirror covered the entire wall, allowing Gu Jie to clearly see his pale face now.

He couldn't tell whether the memory about the earl was a dream or real.

With his hands still trembling slightly, Gu Jie lit a cigarette, sat on the bed and smoked.The smoke blurred his face all of a sudden, but sorted out his thinking more clearly than ever before.

Meiyin is Feng Ni's daughter.Also his half-sister.Meiyin was his younger sister in the last life, and she is still in this life.

However, that feeling is gone... Gu Jie put his hand on the chest, it was empty, nothing was put in it.Therefore, he can bully this so-called younger sister unscrupulously, and push her into Ye Lang's arms without feeling any distress.You can rack your brains to calculate their mother and daughter.

The cigarette was only half lit, but Gu Jie didn't want to smoke any more. He held the cigarette butt between two fingers and pressed it against the snow-white wall.

Putting on his clothes, he stood up, opened the curtains, and outside the large French window was the scene of willows and swaying fishing boats.But Gu Jie knew that in another year, the smoke of war would eventually shatter this peace.

Just like the previous life.

The iron hoofs of foreign invaders will eventually change this small town in the south of the Yangtze River immersed in the leisurely charm. Participate in such a slayer's game.

Thinking of this, Gu Jie's eyes darkened.That period of imprisonment was a lingering nightmare, reminding him every time he dreamed back at midnight, how he was abandoned and trampled on!

stab-

After a loud noise, the burst of light sprinkled fragments of fire like meteors in the sky.

Gu Jie looked up, and saw countless fireworks rising from one place, and then exploded.Gu Jie knew the source of the fireworks, it was the place where the largest theater troupe in the south of the Yangtze River set up the stage.

In such a rich and affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River, famous actors from all over the world would come here to fight, and the fight would naturally pick a place. Due to the talent of these actors, the name "Liyuan" spread.

"Knock, knock." There was an abrupt knock on the door, "Young Master Gu, are you asleep?"

Gu Jie recognized Mrs. Li's voice, and responded, "What's the matter?"

"Madam invites you to go out to watch a play." Mrs. Li said.

Gu Jie never liked the babbling singing of the actors on the stage, and was about to say no, when he heard Mrs. Li say, "Madam said, I have something to discuss with you."

Gu Jie raised his eyebrows.Feng Ni has something to do with him?

There was no movement inside the door for a long time, Mrs. Li was thinking about how to answer Madam when she went back, but unexpectedly the door in front of her opened suddenly, and Gu Jie, who was wearing a loose embroidered mandarin jacket, stood at the door with an indifferent expression, "Where is Madam?"

"Here, this way." Aunt Li was taken aback for a moment, and immediately came back to her senses to lead the way.

Gu Jie followed her downstairs, asking casually along the way, "Madam, what show do you want to see?"

"There are few retrospects, it's a special exhibition of Chinese paintings in the famous corner tower." Mrs. Li replied.

Gu Jie seldom watched operas on weekdays, and he didn't know much about them, so he didn't open his mouth.

Mrs. Li knows a lot about opera. Seeing that Gu Jie didn't speak, she explained, "The painting in the building is a red horn from other provinces. It's a good pick of flowers and spears, and its opera skills are also top-notch. A few days ago, I came to Liyuan to board I have been to Taiwan twice, and I am immediately liked by many wives and ladies."

Gu Jie thought, the painting in the building is really a good name.

"I heard that "Five Flower Cave" will be sung tonight." Aunt Li was looking forward to this grand event in Liyuan, with a look of fascination, "It will take a lot of acting skills to sing."

"Five Flower Cave." Gu Jie had also read some playbooks in his spare time, and only had a vague impression, "I really want to see the painting in the building."

Mrs. Li led Gu Jie to the ferry. On a boat at the ferry, two lanterns depicting blue birds were lit. The candles were dimly illuminated. When Jie came over, he raised his eyes lazily, "Sit."

Gu Jie nodded, lowered his head and entered the ferry, and sat side by side with Feng Ni.

The grand events in Liyuan have always been held on the water, so it is not uncommon to watch operas by boat. Besides, those arty literati love these winding things most.

Feng Ni watched Gu Jie sit in, and at the same time asked the boatman to punt the boat.

The boat drove along the stream, Gu Jie sat on the swaying boat, looked at Feng Ni's gorgeous face, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gu Jie." Feng Ni knew that Gu Jie was looking at him, and didn't bother to say polite words to this person who was never close to him, so she opened her mouth and got straight to the point, "In half a month, Meiyin will be an adult..."

Gu Jie immediately knew what Feng Ni was looking for him to do this time, and immediately replied, "I will divide the property according to Dad's will."

Feng Ni nodded in satisfaction and stopped talking.She is very satisfied with Gu Jie's understanding of current affairs.

Gu Jie looked at the ferry boats passing by for a while, the hull of the boat shook slightly, and the boatman who punted the boat yelled, "Stop. Madam and young master inside, get off the boat carefully—"

Gu Jie was not used to the drawn out tone, but it didn't matter much, he raised his hand to help Feng Ni get off the boat, and followed the guide to the front seat of the theater.

Feng Ni knew the people in the theater very well, and there were quite a few people who came to say hello. Gu Jie found a seat and sat down, waiting for the opening.

After a while, many spectators came one after another, and the polite boss with Feng Ni finally left to greet the guests, Feng Ni took her seat and sat next to Gu Jie.

There are a lot of repertoires tonight. Although it is a special performance of the painting in the building, there are many other miscellaneous appearances. Feng Ni, with her eyes closed, was still beating the beat with her hands, obviously listening intently.

Gu Jie suppressed his impatience, closed his eyes and began to rest his mind. After a while, the tune on the field suddenly changed, and the discussion of the audience below became obviously louder.

Gu Jie heard the discussion about the paintings in the building in the back seat, and opened his eyes to see a flamboyant Huadan standing on the stage covered with a red carpet, twisting a flower finger, his eyes contained resentment and faint melancholy, and his long crimson hair Where the clothes flutter is full of style.The word charming is not enough to describe the face he painted with Fendai, and the black eyes hidden in the light red eye makeup occasionally send a glance to Feng Ni, and the corners of the raised lips are obviously happy.

"Pan Jinlian couldn't help but frown, since he was a young child playing Wu Dalang, he is short in stature..."

Feng Ni in the audience was fascinated, his eyes full of fascination.

Gu Jie smiled coldly, and scoffed in his heart, it turned out that he was an actor from that day.

Suddenly a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and Gu Jie immediately noticed the incense sandal folding fan held by the actor on the stage sensitively. The fan turned twice in the actor's hand, opened and closed again, and the flower shape turned out was very beautiful. It was beautiful, but Gu Jie noticed that there was a steel needle clamped in the fan bone, and a flash of silver light was swaying inside.

The actor's eyes turned to Gu Jie's face, which was 12 points affectionate and charming.

Gu Jie smiled back, the actor flicked his sleeves, and the lyrics were miserable, "Shame..."

The long tone came to an abrupt end, because Gu Jie suddenly bent down to pick up a handkerchief that fell off at some point, but the spectator behind him suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the seat.The blood splashed on Gu Jie's mandarin jacket, Gu Jie didn't care, just looked up at the actors on stage and smiled.

The picture in the building is also calm, and the sleeves are flicked again, as if they didn't notice what happened in the audience at all, and continued to sing, "A flower won't bloom in February—"

It was Feng Ni who screamed first, because that person's blood flowed onto her clothes.

……

……

There was chaos in the pear orchard.Gu Jie stood up, helped the frightened Feng Ni back to the ferry, and sent the boatman to take Feng Ni back to Gu's house, while Gu Jie walked towards the backstage of the Liyuan.

The painting in the building is a famous actor, so the ostentation is naturally huge. As soon as Gu Jie entered, he saw the actor who took up a large area of ​​the venue taking off his makeup in front of the mirror.That exquisite fan was lying in his hand, as delicate and exquisite as the artworks played by noble ladies.The life-threatening steel needle on it was gone.

Standing behind the opera singer, Gu Jie said to the opera singer who was taking off his headdress in the mirror, "Hua Zhonghua, you are really capable."

"I think so too." The actor laughed softly, and people who were far away looked at this side, thinking that Gu Jie told some jokes to amused him, "Kunqu opera, I know the Beijing accent, I can play Tsing Yi, and I can also play Hua Dan. I can sing for you whatever you want to see..."

The last sound was because Gu Jie grabbed his wrist.

Gu Jie grabbed his seemingly slender wrist, and with a tug, the actor fell into his arms softly. Gu Jie lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "You want to kill me?"

"That's right." The actor raised his head, his painted eyes were hooked up, and he was so charming to the extreme, "I'm going to kill you."

Gu Jie asked, "Why?"

"...Because you offended me." The actor smiled slightly, revealing his beautiful white teeth.

Gu Jie gripped his wrist even tighter, "It's because of Feng Ni."

The actor stopped talking, but just looked at Gu Jie, his eyes cooling down a little bit.

Gu Jie sneered, "You can even like that kind of stuff."

"I'm going to kill you." The actor's face turned cold.

Gu Jie didn't care, he let go of his hands and stood up straight, "The painting in the building, I advise you, stay away from Feng Ni."

"Why?" Lou Zhonghua started laughing again.He loves to laugh.

"Because..." The haze in Gu Jie's eyes deepened, "Sooner or later, she will die in my hands."

The actor covered his lips with the costume and smiled, and the other people made extremely cowardly movements, but concealed a murderous warning, "Really... But, I like her very much, what should I do."

Gu Jie just watched the actor.

"No one is allowed to touch the ones I like in Lou Zhonghua." The actor finally said this.
