Lin Shu shook her head. Before she could even finish refusing, Lin Hui had already pulled her arm and said: "Good Sister Shu, let's go. It's a rare day for you, why don't we go out and play? I know Fifth Aunt is still inside Fanghua Garden, waiting for you to go back and eat dinner. I promise, I'll leave after sitting for a while, and you'll definitely be able to make it back in time for dinner. "

Her attitude was simply too sincere.

Furthermore, ever since she was engaged to be married, she had been depressed all this time. Lin Shu could only nod her head and say, "Alright, then we will go listen to a play and leave." After finishing her words, she then instructed the carriage driver to turn around and head to the Liucheng Garden.

Because of Yuan Xiaoyi, Liucheng Garden had already become the biggest troupe in the capital.

Lin Shu only ordered the coachman to find the best private room, and then she and Lin Hui went to the other room.

Now, Yuan Xiaoyi's show had not started yet, it was just another actor waving his sleeves and singing "Legend of Red Bean", his voice was pitiful, but the people below the stage could not muster up any interest.

Lin Hui also felt that it was boring and could only concentrate on eating the sunflower seeds. She could not help but say, "... When I look at this man, he looks quite similar to Yuan Xiaoyi, and dressed in this outfit, feels that everyone is the same, I can only differentiate between a man and a woman, how can they tell Yuan Xiaoyi apart? And you still say Yuan Xiaoyi can make the people in the play live? "

"I can't see it either, I'm afraid there's a way …" Those madams have nothing to do in the house all day, they could just rely on these things to pass the time. If you wait for a few years, you might fall for Yuan Xiaoyi too. " Although Lin Shu did not like the clamor, hearing the clamor from downstairs, she felt at ease, and her mood inexplicably improved greatly.

Lin Hui pursed her lips, "Of course not, if I'm bored in the future, I'll just come and play with you."

As she said that, she felt a sense of novelty. Leaning on the railings, she looked down, but Lin Shu was leaning on the armchair, looking around, suddenly she felt as if she saw a familiar figure. Wasn't this person Mr. Bai?

Mr. Bai was still dressed in green and gray clothes, with a white beard and white hair.

Lin Shu originally thought that she would see Lu Jingran again, but when she thought about it, no, this time Lu Jingran was inside Third Prince's Mansion drinking with the Third Prince and the others, why would he be here?

Lin Shu could not help but stand up and watch as Mr. Bai entered the room.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothing also entered the room, but before Lin Shu could even see the person's appearance clearly, that person rushed into the room.

This time, Lin Shu had no choice but to worry, she only called the waiter over, and pointed to the room: I heard that there will be a play with Yuan Xiaoyi, I feel that the position of this room is not too good, I feel that the room is not too bad, can I trouble you to help me change to the other room, the silver is something we can discuss.

"This …" The waiter revealed a troubled expression, "You should know that the location of our Liucheng Garden cannot be decided with silver, and the location of the other rooms are the best. This little one cannot afford to offend this person."

Today, when Lin Shu and Lin Hui came out, they naturally did not bring out their Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but just their actions and attire alone was enough for the waiter to know that they could not afford to offend them.

However, Lin Shu was unwilling to let it go, "Coming out to listen to the show is naturally to listen to the show, I believe that the esteemed person will frequently take over the room, it is rare for us two to come out, second brother can discuss with that person, and see if we can change for a bit …"

After Lin Hui heard this, she also joined in the fun, "That's right, I still feel that this position is not too good. Waiter, you should discuss it with that person."

As she spoke, she ordered Xiang Zi to take out ten taels of silver.

Oh, so she blamed her bad position for not understanding the play.

The waiter didn't even dare to accept the silver anymore and retreated in fright, "You …" "Don't make things difficult for me. Not to mention 10 taels of silver, even the small ones don't have the guts to go over."

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like silver? Let alone in a place like Liucheng Garden, those waiter would run as fast as anyone the moment they saw the silver.

Lin Shu felt that something was amiss, "Why is second brother afraid of coming forward?"

The waiter glanced around before lowering his voice and said, "There's a rich person in that room …" "Even if you were to pay me a hundred silver taels, I would never dare to enter even if you were to pay me a hundred silver taels."

"Heh, so you're a noble now? "I just saw an old man going in, and then a middle-aged woman went in. Could it be that there's something fishy going on?" Lin Shu probed her step by step. She felt that something was wrong with this matter, if Mr. Bai and the middle-aged woman really had an ending, they would definitely meet face to face, so why would they hide like this?

The waiter scratched his head. They were servants and errands runners, so they couldn't say a single word. "About that …" This little one doesn't know. "

Lin Shu did not make things difficult for him, she rewarded him with 10 silver and told him to go down.

Yuan Xiaoyi then went onstage, upon her appearance, the entire hall was filled with cheers, and many people had already stood up, surrounding the stage so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

Lin Shu had never been much interested in these things, but now, her gaze was fixated on the closed doors to the other rooms.

No one came out of the room even after the performance was over.

However, Lin Hui dragged Lin Shu to the railings and shook her head, "Tsk, tsk. No wonder they all said that Yuan Xiaoyi sang extremely well, although I do not understand drama, but just now, I studied it in detail, this Yuan Xiaoyi does seem to have some charm to her movements, as if she had put him alive, as if she was acting. As for the ones by her side, I can't see anything at all. "

"It's not easy for you to see these things." Lin Shu's gaze landed on Yuan Xiaoyi for a moment, and from top to bottom, even though Yuan Xiaoyi's face was covered with a thick layer of rouge, it was still unable to stop her delicate and pretty face, "She's an outstanding woman, but I don't know what she's thinking about in her heart."

If you counted carefully, Yuan Xiaoyi was not young anymore, and the best choice for a girl from a production team was to be a concubine in a large family, but as for a principal wife, that was something that one would not even dare to dream of, even a merchant would want, why would they marry a playboy as their principal wife?

Moreover, it was true that Yuan Xiaoyi was in her prime, but after three to five years, who would remember that Yuan Xiaoyi was in the capital?

Lin Hui followed the cheers of the crowd and clapped, "Heh, she really sang well, waiting for the next time when we invite her to our residence, I will definitely take a look at her and see what she looks like!"

Lin Shu laughed, "It would be weird if First Aunt agreed to allow you to get along."

"My mother forbids me. Do I have no other way?" Lin Hui winked at her, "Besides, don't you still have help?"

"You, you …" Lin Shu had not seen her smile for a long time, she laughed and teased for a while, but when she glanced again, she saw that the door to the other room was already opened.

She knew things were not going well, and his gaze landed on the door again, just in time to see Mr. Bai walking out hastily.

As for the middle-aged woman, she did not see her.

Waiting for Yuan Xiaoyi to finish her play, Lin Shu's heart was still heavy.

But Lin Hui was still not done, "Sister Shu, how about we play for a while before we leave?"

"Third sister, it's getting late." Lin Shu knew that she would be shameless, but she looked at the joy on her face, "Then let's wait another hour before we go back. If we go back too late, when First Aunt blames us, don't blame me for not speaking up for you in front of First Aunt."

Lin Hui replied with a smile. She didn't like listening to plays, but she liked this kind of atmosphere where she could be free and unfettered.

However, Lin Shu was still immersed in the matters of the Mr. Bai, unable to extricate herself.

She was sitting on her teacher's chair, thinking about what was going on. While she was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open. She turned around to look, wasn't that the waiter from before?

The waiter carried a bowl of longevity noodles and said respectfully, "Young lady, this was sent here by a young master just now. He said it was for you."

"Longevity noodles?" For me? " Lin Shu's face revealed a look of astonishment, "Who delivered this?" The white porcelain bowl was engraved with the words "Celestial Fragrance Pavilion" and was filled with longevity noodles. There were even spring onions scattered on top of the bowl. The soup inside was also cooked until it was a thick milky white.

Lin Hui also came over, "Eh? Sister Shu, is there anyone else who knows that it's your birthday today? "

"I also don't know who this person is!" Lin Shu shook her head.

"Just now, someone gave this to me, and I'll just say that I need it as a gift. I didn't say anything, and this one even thought that the young lady had specially chosen the longevity noodles from the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. Why don't I go down and take a look, and see if that person has gone far?"

However, Lin Shu said: "Forget it, this person has already gone far, even if you go out, you probably won't be able to catch up, and you will find out everything that you need to know."

She had a faint guess as to who this person was, but when she thought about it, how did he know? Even if he did, where would he have to go to such lengths?

Actually, just moving her brain a little was enough for her to figure out the reason. It was a pity that in her two lives, she had never been loved like this.

Lin Hui swallowed her saliva, "Sister Shu, I haven't eaten my fill just now …"
