Chapter 149 The Silk Play (Part [-])
After listening, Yun Chuwei couldn't even react, "Dragon... twins?"

Did she hear correctly, this [-]% chance, she was hit by it?
"Master Jiu, when did you watch it for me?"

"Last night, after you fell asleep." He said, "When I came back, I couldn't help but feel your pulse."

Yun Chuwei was even more surprised, "When I was in the capital, my grandfather said that this kind of thing was impossible to see. How did you see it?"

Su Yan pondered for a moment, "Probably, I know how to read."

It was clear that he had better medical skills, but because the other party was an elder, he couldn't make an obvious comparison, which made Yun Chuwei feel that his grandfather was useless, so he put it mildly.

Such a man who can talk and know how to take care of other people's mood really has to look for him with a lantern.

Yun Chu smacked his tongue slightly.

"Congratulations, madam, for getting two treasures in one fell swoop." Su Yan looked at her with a smile, "Let's name the child!"

"No." Yun Chu shook his head slightly, "I don't want to take it now, when I give birth to the baby, I will be at home, waiting for you to come back and give the baby a name."

Su Yan understood that this was her wish, but also a belief, or in other words, it was a bet she made with herself.

She wanted him to be by her side when she gave birth, but in reality, counting the time, he was still in the south when she gave birth.

So she was betting that before giving birth, she could let He Lianjin sit in the East Palace, and then suggested to Emperor Yonglong that the general guarding the border could take away his relatives.

Although the possibility of realizing it is very slim, but when you see the firmness in her brows and eyes clearly, you can't say a word to persuade her to stop.

Raising his hand to caress her delicate face, he smiled, "I believe in you, and I also believe that one day, we will be truly together. Either I will go home, or I will bring you to the south."

Finally getting a word of encouragement from him, Yun Chuwei's whole heart brightened, and he looked at him in disbelief, "You really believe me?"

"Yeah." His little Jiaojiao has never disappointed him.

"That's great." Yun Chuwei didn't hide the joy in her heart, as long as she got the approval of Master Jiu, then she didn't have to hide what she wanted to do in the future.One day, she will prove with her own strength that she can realize their common wish by herself—either, he will take her away, or she will take him home.

Su Yan took a deep look at her, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Wei Wei, who did you come with this time?"

All of Yun Chuwei's smiles froze on his face, "I..."

"On your own, it's impossible to pass the recruiting standards all the way to the southern border. There must be someone behind you to help you, right?"

Seeing his misty eyes, Yun Chuwei swallowed with difficulty. What else could she say now, she could only nod her head and admit frankly, "Yes, I didn't come here alone."

"The person who helped you is Lu Xiuyuan?" It was supposed to be a question, but it seemed that he knew it long ago. He asked in front of her, and his emotions could not be discerned.

"Yes...but how did you know?" Yun Chuwei didn't dare to look at him, lowering his head lower and lower.

"He wrote to me." Su Yan stretched out his hands to hold her small face, "Just the day before you arrived in the southern border."

"Ah?" Yun Chuwei was full of shock, "He... Lu Xiuyuan, he actually wrote you a letter? What did he say?"

Su Yan said calmly: "He told me in the letter that he was the one who brought you all the way to Lincheng, and that you were able to successfully pass the recruitment standards because he asked someone to inform General Anding to let you go. "

"Jiuye, listen to my explanation." Yun Chu became a little anxious, and secretly scolded Lu Xiuyuan in his heart, that this fellow wrote a letter to Su Yan, isn't this clearly cheating her?

"Explain what?" Su Yan raised his eyebrows, looking at her leisurely.

Yun Chuwei became more and more embarrassed, "I... I took his boat just to get to Lincheng earlier, and because I was followed by Yi Bai on the way, I had to live in their inn Jinghuashuiju after getting off the boat, Because only there, I don't have to worry about my own safety. Although I failed to keep my promise to stay away from him, but Jiuye, I can assure you that there is nothing between me and him. "

Nervous in her heart, she spoke out her own explanation in one go. She didn't dare to look at him again, she wrung her fingers, and her eyes fell on the ground.

"Wei Wei, look at me." He stretched out his index finger and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

Yun Chuwei was so guilty that he didn't even dare to look at him, he froze as soon as he came into contact with him, he was so flustered that he was at a loss, he forcibly turned his head away, and looked elsewhere.

Su Yan laughed, "I don't know, since when did you learn to be afraid of me?"

"I, I'm not afraid of you." Yun Chu said boldly.

"Then why don't you dare look at me?"

"I've watched it all day, enough." She replied confidently.

Su Yan couldn't hold back, and gave a low laugh, "Wei Wei, good boy, turn around and look at me."

"I don't want it!" Regarding Lu Xiuyuan, she admitted that she did not keep her promise, but if there was a second and better choice at that time, she would definitely stay away from that man.

"Turn around, I really want to tell you something." The voice in his ear became softer and more seductive, and Yun Chuwei's heart melted when he heard it.

"If you have anything to say, you can just say it directly?" She stood still, did something wrong, and had no face to face him.

"What do you think this is?" he asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Yun Chu turned his head slightly, only then realized that he had been tricked by him, and before he could say anything, his lips were blocked by him.

A quick kiss, and soon left, Su Yan's phoenix eyes were focused and serious.

"Actually, this time, I'm not angry." Looking at her, he said with a slight smile.

Yun Chu was slightly dumbfounded, what did he just say?Not angry?
The most jealous jar in the world is not angry?

Is this world fantasy?
Su Yan said slowly: "If he didn't write me a letter, but my spies told me about it, then I would definitely be jealous, but fortunately, Lu Xiuyuan is still a gentleman, knowing that writing a letter in advance Say hello to me and explain the details of your visit, so I'm not angry."

"Really?" Afraid that this was just the calm before the storm, Yun Chu slightly tentatively asked, "Are you really not angry?"

"Well, I'm not angry." He nodded.

Yun Chu rolled his eyes slightly. He used to only know that this person has a poisonous tongue and a black belly, and he is a complete jealousy. Of course, when it comes to love words, there are definitely a lot of words without repetition, and he can tease people every time. heart itch.

But today, Yun Chuwei saw for the first time that Su Jiuye also had a good day to talk.

She couldn't help it, and stretched out her hand to stick a sticker on his forehead, "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Su Yan held her hand instead, "The reason why I'm not angry is because you confessed on your own initiative."

Yun Chu stared at him slightly, "Since you're not angry, why didn't you make it clear at once just now, which made people worry for a long time."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, "It's you who refuse to look at me."

"I'm not..." Guilty?

"what?"

"It's nothing." Yun Chuwei looked at him angrily, "You just like to bully me!"

"Remove the word 'bullying'." Su Yan pinched her little face, "After dinner, I'll take you to the theater."

Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, "When I was in the capital, I accompanied my mother to listen to it, and I almost got tired of listening to it, so I won't go!"

"It's not opera." Su Yan pretended to be mysterious: "It's another kind, you will definitely like it."

"What is it?" Yun Chu became slightly curious.

"Silk puppet show." Su Yan said: "There is only one family in the entire military town. It just so happens that their theater troupe has arrived nearby and set up a stage outside the military area, so I want to take you to listen."

Yun Chu blinked slightly, "Silk-drawing play?"

"Correct."

Yun Chuwei suddenly became interested, "This is a technical job. I haven't heard of a real silk puppet show. By the way, when will it start?"

Su Yan thought for a while, "How about I send someone to invite the magic troupe in? By then, the brothers in the military region will be able to listen."

"That's a good idea." Yun Chu clapped his palms slightly, "Actually, I don't want to go to a place where there are many people outside, the worst thing is to spend a little more money and let the troupe come in. We don't have to go outside to join in the fun, but we can also let your gang Brothers follow Lehelehe, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Su Yan nodded in agreement, and immediately beckoned the attendant to come in and explain.

The attendant quickly prepared money to invite people outside.

Silk puppet shows, that is, puppet shows, are operated by people behind the curtain, and at the same time they have to cooperate with singing, which places high demands on the actors who operate them.

In Nanliang, operas are the most common, and silk-drawing puppet shows are really rare. When Yun Chuwei thought that he could watch them today, his heart immediately itch.

After lunch, the theatrical troupe invited by Su Yan arrived.

The soldiers who got the news were excited.

You know, Master Jiu has always been serious and rigid, and they rarely have time for entertainment, so it was the first time that they were so generous as today to directly invite the opera troupe to the school to set up a stage.

Therefore, everyone was grateful to Yun Chuwei.

After the kiss on the school field that day, rumors spread in the army that the person next to Master Jiu was actually a concubine he was looking for outside with Mrs. Qingluan behind his back.

Those who knew about it, of course, wished to sew their mouths tightly with thread and did not reveal a word.

Those who don't know it just follow others' advice and follow the public thinking that Yun Chuwei is just a concubine.

Yun Chuwei had also heard these words in the past two days, so she spread her hands and didn't bother to pay attention.

As long as Master Jiu has no other women, what difference does it make if she is a concubine or a wife?

It took some time for the theater troupe to set up the stage, and Su Yan was dealing with military affairs again. Yun Chuwei was idle and bored, so he fetched pens, inks and paints, sat in front of another desk, spread out the drawing paper, and slowly drew strokes. Outline the reeds and star-like fireflies seen in the suburbs last night.

Her painting skills, who had learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before time-traveling, are not bad at all. In addition, this painting is a combination of her own thoughts, so it is not only lifelike, but also has a sense of comfort and satisfaction.

"It's a good painting." Su Yan had already stood behind her at some point, and a melodious voice came, mixed with praise without hesitation.

Yun Chu turned his head slightly, looked at her with a smile, "Is it beautiful?"

"Painted with care, it is naturally beautiful, but it lacks some artistic conception." Su Yan's eyes fell on the scroll. She only drew reeds and fireflies, but no people.

With a second thought, Su Yan picked up the brush and sketched in the blank space. After coloring, Yun Chuwei took a closer look and found that the painting style had completely changed.

What Su Yan drew was the scene where she leaned on his shoulder, she was clearly sleepy, but still stretched out her hand to count the fireflies. She was already half asleep and didn't realize that a firefly fell on her slender fingertips. Fireflies, the light of fireflies illuminated her hands more beautifully.

Su Yan's movements in the painting are looking sideways at her who is slowly falling asleep, her eyes are warm and affectionate, the shallow smile on her lips is set off by the fireflies on her fingertips, and a beautiful and romantic atmosphere blows across her face in an instant Come.

"It's amazing!" Yun Chu looked at the painting with a little excitement, thinking that Su Yan was indeed not a human being, and with such a few strokes, the artistic conception in the painting was completely raised to several levels.

Having been married for a year, she actually felt her young girl's heart beating non-stop at this very moment.

"How about it, do you like it?" He tilted his head to look at her and asked with a smile.

The girl's heart is about to jump out, don't you like it?
Yun Chu nodded slightly, "Master Jiu, you are too powerful."

Such a good grasp of close-up shots, but not digging out this aspect to become a master of painting, it is really a shame.

"If it didn't actually happen, how could I draw it?" The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

"So, what you drew all happened last night?"

"of course."

"It's a pity that I fell asleep and didn't see such a beautiful picture." Yun Chuwei was full of regret, annoyed that he couldn't keep his eyelids open.

Su Yan said: "If you were awake, this scene would not have happened."

"That's true." Yun Chuwei was finally relieved, and his eyes fixed on the scroll with nostalgia, "This painting is given to me, you are not allowed to snatch it from me."

"Okay, I won't fight with you." Su Yan smiled.

When she returned to Lincheng, she immediately asked someone to frame it and take it back to the capital. In the future, when Master Jiu was not around, she would rely on this painting to express her lovesickness.

Su Yan saw through what she was thinking, "If you like it, I can draw another one."

"Really?" Yun Chuwei's eyes lit up, "Which scene are you going to draw?"

Su Yan moved the reed and firefly to the side to dry, he fetched the drawing paper again and spread it out, Yun Chuwei consciously ground the ink for him.

Su Yan sat down, picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, thought for a moment and began to draw on the drawing paper.

His painting technique is very skillful, almost in one go, and it didn't take long to outline the outline of the characters.

Yun Chu slightly lowered his eyebrows and saw that it was the scene where he put pear flower hairpins on her in the lively market.

In the painting this time, both of them have side faces, so there is no need to say more about their appearance, except for this point, he painted the woman's shy eyes so vividly that when Yun Chuwei saw it, it was as if he had returned to the market again In the morning, he held a bright pear and saffron hairpin in his hand, and put it on for her himself. His phoenix eyes were slightly curved, and there was only her shadow in it.

Feeling the girl's heart beating non-stop again, Yun Chuwei took a deep breath so as not to lose his composure in front of him.

Some people say that a young girl's heart is the eyes through which you look at life. What is your heart is what you see in the world.

Yun Chuwei felt that she was right. What she saw in the two paintings were not married couples, but a couple in first love, who were in the stage of youth and ignorance. Let the opponent's heart lake set off circle after circle of ripples, and the deer bumped wildly.

That is also the purest and most beautiful stage of love in everyone's life.

Su Yan was able to draw this feeling out. Apart from praising him, she seemed to have no more words to describe this impeccably perfect man.

Or in other words, no amount of words can describe his excellence and perfection.

Su Yan was already coloring, and Yun Chuwei stared at it without blinking the whole time.

Compared with the fireflies on the reeds just now, the two paintings are not much better, each with its own artistic conception.

But they all have one thing in common - she likes them all, so much that she can't put it down.

"Is this one also for me?" She asked.

"This won't work." Su Yan shook his head, "When we go out today, we only got these two paintings, and you can't let them take them all by yourself. You choose one of the two paintings, and you get the remaining one. Keep it for me, otherwise what if I miss you in the next few months?"

Yun Chuwei frowned, "But, it's too difficult to make a choice." He took his arm obsequiously, "Jiu Ye, why don't you give me both pictures, and then you can draw them yourself, okay?" Well!"

"No." Su Yan shook his head, "If you know how to paint, you should understand that only the first time of this kind of painting is the best and most perfect. Even if you make exactly the same later, it will lose the artistic conception and charm."

Su Yan was right.

Only the first picture of this kind of scene painting is made with a heartbeat. If a scene is repeated, the original charm will be lost as it goes to the end.

This is the same as first love.

The best and most memorable is always at the very beginning.

"Then I'll choose the first one." Yun Chu pursed her lips slightly, although she also wanted the second one, but to her, the first one had a better meaning.

Because she was unable to see that scene, Master Jiu used this method to help her reproduce the scene, so she naturally had to keep it well, and it would be a lifetime memory in the future.

"Okay." Su Yan nodded, "When it's done, I'll send someone to mount it, so that you can take it back when the time comes."

Originally, he wanted to take it to Lincheng for mounting, but he didn't expect Su Yan to be so thoughtful. Yun Chu smiled knowingly, "It's all up to you."

The two were talking when there was a knock on the door outside.

Su Yan stood up and pushed open the door. Standing outside was General Anding. His real name was Zuoqiu Bei, and he was Su Yan's capable general.

As soon as he saw Su Yan, Zuo Qiubei laughed cheerfully, "Master Jiu, the stage on the school field is set up, and the brothers have been waiting for a long time, just waiting for you two to speak. When will the show start?"

Su Yan said lightly: "Go back and tell the troupe, we'll be here right away."

"Hold on tighter!" Zuoqiu Bei glanced inward with a pair of thief eyes, and seeing Yun Chuwei standing in front of the desk, he laughed dryly twice, withdrew with half of his body, and complained: "If we don't start again, it will be a day." It's getting dark, and if you're hungry, we don't care for any good plays."

Zuo Qiubei is a talker, every time he comes to see Su Yan, he can babble a lot of nonsense.

Su Yan resisted the thought of kicking him out of the door, and closed the door with a "bang".

"Jiu Ye, it will take a while to finish this painting!" Yun Chu said slightly, "Let's just hang it like this, let's go to the silk puppet show."

Su Yan pressed the corner of the scroll with the inkstone to prevent it from being blown off by the wind, and then took Yun Chuwei to the school grounds.

Sure enough, the stage had already been set up, and hundreds of soldiers sat cross-legged on the ground, their gazes all staring up and down on the stage, waiting for the play to begin.

When Yun Chuwei came over, the eyes of the soldiers turned to her at the same time. It was also at this place that day. She appeared in men's clothes, causing a lot of misunderstandings. It was later discovered that this was the woman of Master Jiu. As for what? woman?It may be a concubine, it may be a housemate, or it may be an outer room kept outside. In short, it can't be the wife, Mrs. Qingluan.

She changed into women's clothes today, and as soon as she appeared, many soldiers stared straight at her eyes and swallowed secretly. If Master Jiu was not there, the scene would have been erupting. His blood was boiling, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous at will, so he could only think secretly, Master Jiu is so lucky, if he doesn't look for it, he won't look for it, and if he looks for it, he will come with a stunning beauty. For these shrimp soldiers and crab generals who can only watch but not eat, It was a fatal blow.

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Bei glared at the group of soldiers who were drooling slightly at Yun Chu, "Hey, hey, let me say, you guys, close your eyes, close your eyes, the show is about to start , in the stands—that who, you, is talking about you, what are you looking at, Jiu Ye's woman, is it something you can casually aim at?"

……

Yun Chuwei had already seen the soldiers' reactions. She had no emotion on her face. After she sat down with Su Yan, she didn't care about the people behind her. She just looked at Su Yan, "Master Jiu, what are you driving today?" play?"

Although she was looking forward to seeing the silk puppet show, she still hoped that it would not be the ones that often appeared on the stage, and she would have been tired of watching them for a long time. If it was really that kind, she would definitely fall asleep watching it.

Sure enough, Su Yan understood her very well. He understood her just by listening to it, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I guarantee that you haven't seen the play today. I heard that they made up this play by themselves. Today is Acting for the first time."

Having said that, Yun Chuwei became interested, "It's good that it's a new play."

As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp and loud ringing of bells on the stage.

Immediately afterwards, several puppets who were tied with strings came on stage. The people who controlled the puppets were all behind the curtain. They sang very well and controlled the puppets.

This scene was indeed novel, even Yun Chuwei was fascinated by it.

What are you talking about?

The general idea is: In order to recruit a few skilled personal guards, a wealthy businessman organized a martial arts competition in a certain county.

The four winners will not only get the opportunity to be his personal bodyguard, but also get prizes.

The prize for No.1 is three acres of fertile land, the prize for No.2 is a pair of beautiful hanging fan earrings, and the prize for No.3 and No.4 is one tael of silver per person.

The news of the martial arts competition was seen by a woman from a poor family. When she got home, she told her husband-in-law that she really wanted the pair of pendant earrings from No.2.

After her husband heard it, she practiced hard every day and finally won the place in the martial arts competition.

However, what the woman didn't expect was that her husband won the championship in one fell swoop in the martial arts competition, and missed the No.2 prize.

The structure of the story is very small, there is no fierce battle situation of bloody fighting, and there is no righteousness of family and country. It is just a plot that often appears in life and is often ignored, but because the actors who manipulate the puppets are too hard, the emotions in the lines are brought into full play. Incisively and vividly, so hundreds of old men in the audience were brought in.

A small regret has an extraordinary influence on everyone.

Yun Chuwei didn't know what the soldiers thought of this story, but she felt very warm. Even if they didn't get the pair of hanging fan earrings in the end, at least it proved that the husband loved his wife very much, otherwise he could have done it at the beginning. Instead of waking up early to practice martial arts silently, just to help his wife get the pair of beautiful hanging fan earrings.

"Wei Wei, do you like this story?" Yun Chuwei did not fall asleep, which surprised Su Yan.

"I like it." She nodded, "I think the person who made up this story must be a very delicate and observant person, otherwise he would not start with such a plot that is easily overlooked by people, but it is often the same plot , it is easy to touch people's hearts and make people feel warm, because it is close to reality."

Su Yan smiled lightly, "Do you want to meet the person who made up the story?"

"Think!" Yun Chu said happily.

After the soldiers dispersed, Su Yan took Yun Chuwei to the back of the table, and after two steps, Yun Chuwei felt a very bad premonition, and he was very nervous.

Sure enough, when he saw the so-called "story maker", he froze.
