Chapter 160 Brother!

Chapter 160 Brother!
……

……

"Hey girl, how much do you want to spend the night with me?"

"You can't afford it."

"No, at least give me a price so I can give up."

"You're like a thug, don't you know that?"

"I'd really like to play a female hooligan once, it would be a good opportunity to get a feel for it."

"..."

Seeing that Gu Qing was in despair after removing her makeup, Zhao Liying left with a smug look on her face.

"Xiao Gu, Li Ying seems to have different feelings for you."

Sister Xu smiled and took off the jewelry.

"Which one do you think it is?"

Gu Qing lowered her eyes and asked.

"Hmm... It's strange. You say it's pure love, but you don't express your love in such a direct way."

From a female perspective, Sister Xu said, "When she interacted with you, there was a sense of familial affection; it seemed like she genuinely cared for your younger brother..."

In summary: love, affection, and a protective instinct.

"Protective instinct?"

Gu Qing looked confused. He could understand the first two, but he really couldn't figure out the last one.

"Yes, when a girl falls in love with a boy, it's very easy for her to feel a maternal protective instinct."

"Otherwise, why would Liying travel all this way to act alongside you?"

Sister Xu poked Gu Qing's cheek with her manicured nail and said with a smile, "Little Gu, your appearance is very gentle and non-threatening. Not only will boys not dislike you, but for girls, it is the easiest way to arouse their maternal instincts."

"You're a bit like catnip, I think Liying is probably really into you."

"Sister Xu, let's remove our makeup, I'm sleepy."

Gu Qing closed her eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Aunt Xu smiled and helped Gu Qing wipe her face.

Back to the hotel,

Gu Qing lay on the bed, recalling the contents of the script.

"Little brother, what's your room number? Mine is xxx."

My phone chimed; it was a message from Sister Zhao, who couldn't sleep.

"Mine is 111."

"Are you kidding me? Why didn't you tell me your room number?"

"I'm afraid you'll break in and rob me."

"I'm not robbing you, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm only afraid if they don't rob me."

Gu Qing turned to her side, leaning against the pillow, and said helplessly, "Go to sleep early, we have to film tomorrow morning, we're going to beat 'The Lost Tomb'!"

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Don't overthink it. I'll definitely unleash my full acting skills and help you defeat them!"

"Good night."

—The next day,
At 8:30 a.m., the film crew had already built the cityscape overnight.

In the original story background of The Mystic Nine

Er Yuehong's most famous story has nothing to do with banditry, but rather the story of how he redeemed a 'daughter' from servitude when he was young.

At that time, they sold their 'daughters'.
This custom was brought from Yangzhou; these were human traffickers who would carry their daughters around the bustling city center.

This is both a declaration to the world,
Tell all the onlookers that the 'girl' is about to be sold.

If a kind-hearted person steps forward to defend you, just take out the money.

We wouldn't want to push our daughter into a fire pit.
But if no one redeemed them, they would be sent to the brothels of the time.

In addition,

This was also to inform the high-ranking officials and nobles of the time that there would be a fresh young lady tonight, and to prepare silver dollars in advance to "play the role of a gold-branch."

At this time, Er Yuehong was not yet the troupe leader.
In Peking Opera families, the troupe is usually hereditary; when his father was alive, he was just the young master of the troupe.

——Happy Building

"Second Master Hong, come and try it! Our newly purchased 'Terrifying Fragrance' is absolutely amazing."

The waiter specially brought out fresh tea and respectfully handed it to the young man in simple white clothes, sitting by the window on the second floor, who was carefree and dashing.

The woman playing the pipa looked up and raised her eyebrows, her allure radiating, as if she wanted to stick to him.

Everyone knows Changsha City.

The "Second Master Hong" of the flower drum troupe was known for his extravagant spending, throwing money around like water.
He was also a renowned handsome man with a long history of romantic affairs, having ambiguous relationships with many socialites.

"Having climbed this high branch, I'll be set for life." "Chenpi, please enjoy."

"Yes, master."

The newly recruited apprentice, dressed in coarse linen clothes with a cloth bag full of iron pellets hanging from his waist, reluctantly accepted the silver coins his master tossed to him and handed them to the delighted shop assistant.

"Master, you paid too much."

“Chen Pi, from now on, follow your master, money is a small matter.”

Gu Qing waved her folding fan and glanced disdainfully at her apprentice's clothes. "And this outfit of yours, after breakfast, go find Wang the tailor to change into a new one, and put the cost on my tab."

As my apprentice, Er Yuehong, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to wear a mink coat.

"Thank you, master."

Chen Pi happily knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Little Chenpi, get up quickly. Second Master doesn't like people who kneel down all the time."

A member of the opera troupe reached out and pulled Chen Pi up.

At this time,

The market below the window suddenly became noisy.

"What a beautiful girl!"

"Hey, you cripple, what's the price of this woman?"

"Anything less than ten silver dollars, or don't even think about it."

Ten silver dollars? You're robbing me, aren't you?!

"Gentlemen, I've been captured! Please save me! Please save me!"

The little girl, bound by the traffickers, had disheveled hair, her face covered in dust, and was crying her eyes out, but that couldn't hide her beauty.

A mournful voice,
Gu Qing's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, but she still took a leisurely sip.

He was used to the coldness of human relationships and such things.

In these impoverished times,

Being sold into a brothel might not be a bad thing. At least you can eat your fill, and if you meet a good patron, you might even become a concubine and have a chance to turn your life around.

But a little girl has to be all alone outside...

Even being treated badly is considered a good thing.

Gu Qing put down the blue and white porcelain bowl and casually glanced at the market.
He was taken aback when he saw the girl's beautiful appearance.
He actually knew this person.

She was the daughter of a noodle stall he frequented; she was five years younger than him.

It can be said,
I've been her older brother since she was little, watching her grow up. She's very pretty and well-behaved.

How did things suddenly fall to this state?
The girl, surrounded by onlookers, cried as she looked around the crowd, desperately searching for something, hoping to find some sympathy and pity.

However, all that exists is greed.

In that instant,

Zhao Liying's tearful gaze fell on Gu Qing in the teahouse, and Gu Qing also glanced at her.

As if she had seen the only hope in her despair, she suddenly mustered all her strength and shouted to Gu Qing, "Brother!"

Gu Qing was taken aback by the despair and pleading look in his eyes.
He remembered the little sister who used to follow him around holding his hand, and he could no longer stand idly by.

People back then were all hard-hearted.
His father would never allow him to redeem a prostitute.

But no one is perfect.
Er Yuehong was inherently passionate, and at the height of her youth and vigor,
With a flick of his sleeve, he used his special skill to swoop down the wall of the teahouse and block the human traffickers' path.

"Click, very good, one take."

Director Liang Shengquan was extremely satisfied, "Xiao Gu, Li Ying, you two acted wonderfully!"

"The lines are flawless, and the emotions are spot-on!"

He was a little excited.

I thought I was just accompanying the crown prince in his studies.
did not expect,
Both Gu Qing and Zhao Liying brought him great surprises.

Zhao Liying sniffled, her eyes reddening, still unable to calm down.

Seeing Gu Qing approach, she finally smiled and asked, "Little brother, how was my acting?"

"It's awesome."

Gu Qing took the tissue and wiped her nose, suppressing a laugh as he said, "But now, little sister, you have to call me 'brother,' understand?"

Zhao Liying's resounding "Brother!" almost pulled him out of the scene.

"dream."

Zhao Liying snorted and stubbornly turned her head away.
