Chapter 11 Falling Flowers and Light Rain 1

"Sister Qin, my hairband is loose..."

"Sister Qin, where is my belt?" The eye shadow is not thick enough, Sister Qin..."

Paradise Theater, the women's dressing room is in a mess.

"Damn Baozhu hasn't arrived yet. I don't know which little white face to date again. I just asked me to talk to Manyin not to work in the group." Sister Qin helped Ying Liu comb her hair, and the hairpin in her hand was inserted into her bun one by one, nagging impatiently. Well, well, it's useless for you to call. Shu'an is still waiting. It's not necessarily you one by one. It's more important than her.

Ying Liu grabbed the wooden comb in Sister Qin's hand, threw a wink, and said coyly, "Ok, Sister Qin, I'll clean up the rest by myself."

Sister Qin ignored her and went inside by herself. In the exclusive dressing room, Bai Shu'an dressed in a dance costume, with long hair, sat alone in front of the mirror and leisurely reading the newspaper.

"The music is about to ring, and you still have this leisure!"

"It seems that you are busy again today?" Bai Shu'an answered lazily.

"Can you not be busy? Then Baozhu, you will be late for two or three days." Sister Qin took out the tools from the makeup box and began to help her comb her hairstyle. It's just because of her seventh uncle or eighth uncle. It is rumored that she is a relative of the general manager of this theater.

Sister Qin's tone was full of sourness. Bai Shu'an said jokingly, "I think even if her own uncle is the general manager of this theater, Sister Qin doesn't pay attention to it."

Sister Qin laughed so much that her hands trembled, and a handful of hair in her hand fell loosely: "You little girl, I won't laugh with you. If you have time to help persuade Manyin to find a down-to-earth one, otherwise do you really want to kill my old bone?

Bai Shu'an did not answer, but giggled in the mirror.

Sister Qin combed her hair and hurried out. The door closed and got in again. This time it was Ying Liu.

Ying Liu held hot tea in his hand and sucked it with a straw, looking anxious and unbearable: "It's too noisy outside. I'll come to you to breathe."

"Is the jewel coming?" Bai Shu'an colored her lips and owed a stool to make way for her.

"No, I don't know where she came from. She was blatantly late, and even Sister Qin didn't pay attention to it." Ying Liu pulled up the thick corners of his skirt, sat on the dressing table, and his legs swung back and forth leisurely.

"I won't talk about her. What's so interesting about your trip to the south this time?" Shu'an squeezed her lips, and the new pink lip gloss melted evenly on the two thin lips.

Ying Liu suddenly smiled and said, "It's true."

"What's the matter..." Bai Shu'an was also interested. She stopped, turned around, pinched her wrist and urged, "Speak!"

"Have you ever seen two ladies fighting in front of hundreds of people?" Ying Liu jumped to the ground and put on a fierce posture, and the pomegranate skirt also followed the ground.

"Oh, why?" Bai Shu'an was skeptical.

"Of course, it's for our dance prince Ruomin. You don't know how many women he has fascinated in Guangzhou!" Ying Liu cleared his throat and said a lot, "Those days, Ruomin and I were judges at the competition scene of the Guangzhou xx TV studio. As you know, there were also hundreds of people at the scene. There were two women from the audition to the final. Every time they sat in the first row of the audience, and from time to time, they ran to Brother Ruomin for a few charming eyes. As soon as you look at the dress, you will know that they are all those ladies who married early, whose husbands are drunk outside, and who are alone and unwilling to be lonely.

"Okay, you look at it. No matter how unwilling people are to be lonely, at least people with status, how can they fight?" Bai Shu'an knows well that Yingliu's temperament is a big mouth and likes to exaggerate. She only thinks she is joking, but occasionally it's interesting to listen to it as a joke.

"What you don't know about this, it was the semi-finals that afternoon. My brother Ruomin and I arrived at the venue early. Before the program began to be recorded, suddenly the crowd began to play. Two women actually fought. It is said that the woman who did it first was aggressive at first, but later she was beaten obediently, etc. When the police came to coordinate, she had slipped away through the back door without saying a word... This caused our game to be postponed for half an hour that day. Tut, think about it, hundreds of people watched two women fight..."

"Even so, how can you be sure that this must be because of Brother Ruomin, are you spreading rumors and making trouble again?" Bai Shu'an suddenly picked up a hairpin in the dressing box, pointed to the point of her chest, and said, "Say it quickly, are you spreading rumors? Why don't you tell the truth!"

"Hey, hey, little girl, if you threaten her like this, be careful that I will seal my mouth and won't tell you the following."

"Ha ha ha, okay, can you make a long story short? I'm a little tired of your routine." Bai Shu'an bent down with a smile.

Jiang Yingliu no longer continued to sell off the customs and said endlessly, "That winning woman, after many inquiries, I finally knew that her original name was Li Xinzhu. It is said that she is the only daughter of Li Ruizhong, a rich businessman in Guangzhou. She is extremely noble, but she looks colder... That Li Ruizhong in Guangzhou is The famous boss of Ruihai Group, in short, is the largest shipowner in Guangzhou... Once, Li Xinzhu actually found the hotel where Brother Ruomin and I stayed. If she hadn't been for Brother Ruomin's ultimate dance fan, how could she be so pestering... I also heard that Li Xinzhu was originally married to make beads. The Hong Kong husband of Bao's business, but she had a bad life. Her husband suddenly fell ill and died, leaving only their orphans and widows, so she returned to Guangzhou..." Ying Liu said loudly, and the red hairpin on his head swayed.

Bai Shu'an was still anxious to wait for her to talk, but she saw Sister Qin coming in in a hurry and urged, "Girls, are you ready? The play is about to start."

"Here we are." The two promised her at the same time. Because Ying Liu wanted to appear first, he hurriedly straightened up his clothes and rushed out. Today, they performed an adapted version of the musical "Dream of Red Mansions". Ying Liu is the lead singer of the song team, so the costume is heavier.

Bai Shu'an tidyed up her makeup in the mirror and felt that her face was not haggard enough, so she picked up the eye shadow brush and spread a faint layer of silver white on the dark red eyes. Xianjing's angry face suddenly added a little delicateness, and then she pushed the door out with satisfaction.

The large dressing room outside is not as busy as it was just now. It is not the turn of the actors to sit and chat, or read newspapers and books alone in the corner. There are also new actors who are grinding, reviewing their movements while reading the script...

When she reached the door, the colorful clothes racks were divided into two rows, and a beautiful official hat with feathers in the middle swam towards her. When she stopped, the hat also stopped swimming, and the hat was suddenly lifted, revealing a bright face like a morning glow, snickering at her with a pair of big watery eyes.

Bai Shu'an remembered this face. Her pink and flawless skin, red mouth like a cuckoo, like the warm sunshine in spring, inexplicably filled her heart with strange beauty in an instant.

She slowly squatted down and looked at the little girl with a smile. The little girl squeezed her eyes, put out a round finger on her lips, and whispered, "Auntie, don't you remember me? My name is Gu Yuxin. Hee hee, I'm playing hide-and-seek with my mother. Auntie, don't make a sound!"

"Where is your mother?"

"She was saying important things to her friend and asked me to play for a while, so I hid here and waited for her to come to me."

Looking around, I didn't find the lady I saw by the lake that day. Presumably this little ghost sneaked away by himself. Well, you stay here and wait for your mother to come.

"Hmm." The little girl nodded hard.

Bai Shu'an got up and called Sister Qin, asking her to take good care of the little girl and help her find her mother. After that, she hurried to the stage.

*******

In the huge theater, the ground is dark and full.

Under the beautiful light, there is a strange fate of red buildings with golden mourning jade and singing and dancing...

With a "squeak", the door of a box on the second floor lit a crack. A waiter came in, put a plate of melons and fruits on the small round table, and then turned away.

In the dark, a young man asked in a low voice, "Who is the dancer who plays Jia Baoyu?"

"His name is Du Ruomin. He and Bai Shu'an are the pillars of the Yuecheng Song and Dance Troupe. As the best partner, he is recognized as a golden boy and jade girl." Another man laughed twice, grabbed a handful of almonds casually, and chewed them carefully. "In the past few years, he has become more and more popular. There are many women who are fascinated by her. He knows everything about him. He is obviously called the Prince of Dance, and he is secretly called a teacher's milk killer."

"Oh?" He was a little suspicious, but his tone was cold, "Is the Yuecheng Dance Troupe famous here?"

"The Yuecheng Song and Dance Troupe was founded by Lin Manyin, Bai Shu'an's teacher. Twelve years ago, she recruited singing and dancing talents in Yuecheng and developed a group of rookies. Du Ruomin is one of them. Over the years, if there are any big literary and art performances in Yuecheng, their song and dance troupe will choose one or two programs, which can be regarded as the elite of Yuecheng's literary and art circles.

"Do you know Du Ruomin well?"

"I've interviewed several times, but it's just a formality. There is no deep friendship."

"Why didn't I see him when I came to Yuecheng last time?" He asked calmly, but his eyes were still staring at the stage.

"What a popular thing. I'm afraid I went to perform in other places some time ago."

......

On one side, there are gongs and drums, and on the other side is the sound of mourning. Jia Baoyu on the east side of the stage is in the bridal chamber, while the Xiaoxiang concubine in the west is about to die. Two kinds of extremely discordant music sounded at the same time. The audience under the stage became silent in an instant. Some people stared at Jia Baoyu with reproachful eyes. There are People looked sadly at Lin Daiyu, who was lying on the couch burning manuscripts, and cried silently. At this moment, the actor was no longer an actor, and the audience was not only the audience. All the people seemed to have integrated into one, only for the joy and sorrow of the people in the play...
