FH Chapter 38: 花儿为什么这样红?
Why are the flowers so red?
Xiao Lingchuan drove the carriage to a corner of the inn, when they arrived in the city, they first looked for a place to stay, the 福 (good fortune; blessing; happiness) arrival door in front of them was almost the best inn in the border city.
“Guest, there is only one room left.”
The little fellows with a white cloth scarf on his shoulder stood at the door and looked around. Li Haitang asked several times in a row, but the other party didn’t respond.
“Little Red Peach!”
Li Haitang shouted, just now the slogan (catchphrase) of the group of damsels was Little Peach Red. The scene in the city must have something to do with this person.
“Aiya, customer, you are also the Peach Blossom?”
Unlike the cold and icy attitude just now, the little fellow warmed up quite a bit, he excitedly said, “I really didn’t expect that I could have the chance to meet him!”
What the hell is the Peach Blossom (Taohua) ? She is Haitang ah!
Li Haitang was dumbfounded and puzzled, could it be that there is something wrong with the soil and water in the border city, so everyone’s brain is not normal?
“Little Peach Blossom has many theater fans, they form an alliance and call it Peach Blossom.”
Xiao Lingchuan looked at the sky, since he met her, every time a situation came up, he wanted to laugh.
Little Peach Blossom is the red corner of the De Quanban ( Virtue whole class) , a man with talent and young, because of his looks, he is very popular in the Capital.
He traveled all the way to the north and south as a dart walker (armed escort for a convoy), and had heard a little about it. The high ranking official families in Capital, even though they could not look down on the lower (humble professions; mean occupation) nine streams of the theater, still took pride in being able to invite the De Quanban to sing in the theater.
“Little Peach Red, Little Peach Red! Why are the flowers so red!?”
Auntie shouts, breaking through the sky, walking in the forefront, is a man full of makeup, bewitching face, androgynous, narrow eyes, slightly upturned, he passed by the inn, inadvertently glanced inwards, just in time to lock eyes with Li Haitang.
“He’s looking at me, he must be looking at me!”
The mate waved his white cloth scarf, pink bubbles in his eyes, intoxicated in his own world.
Little Peach Red had just walked by, and there were chrysanthemum petals all over the floor downstairs, at this time of the year, the Border City only had çold resistant flowers.
Li Haitang looked at the chrysanthemums all over the ground, silently swallowed a mouthful of blood, and in his heart, he gave the scene a soundtrack, “Chrysanthemums are broken, and the ground is full of it…”
The world is too dangerous, only the mountains are safe, she wants to go home!
After a long time, the mate came back to his senses, became normal, and said in a serious manner, “Guest, recently our inn is full day after day, only this one is the last room.”
“Only one?”
Li Haitang frowned, she and the savage were not married yet, living together didn’t seem very good, besides, her little brother was nine years old, he was also a half-grown boy.
“Guest ah, if you don’t believe it, go out and ask around, the inn in our border city, because De Quanban came to open his voice, it has long been occupied!”
There is only this one room, which was also booked before, but after that lady saw Little Peach Red, she foamed at the mouth, fainted, and went directly into the medical center; otherwise this room, too, was not available.
Based on the situation just now, Li Haitang was completely convinced that it was all true, she nodded, “One room, one room then.”
福 arrival door is worthy of being a famous inn in Da Qi, business is spread all over the north and south, ordinary guest rooms, also divided into halls and bedrooms, tables, chairs and benches, tea and snacks, everything is available.
“De Quanban is that outstanding?”
Li Haitang really couldn’t understand it, but she believed that if she dared to say a bad word about Little Peach Blossom, she would surely be hunted down by those brain-dead Peach Blossom fans.
“Indeed.”
Xiao Lingchuan nodded his head, De Quanban’s plays were different from ordinary ‘wind, flowers, snow and the moon’, (referring originally to certain types of literary works and later to effete and sentimental writings), in general there were many novel topics, such as solving cases and chasing the murderer, the people just like to think and discuss who the murderer is together, the topic had heat or popular, even those officials in the court liked it.
