Winter Begonia
Chapter 109
After winter comes Hou Yukui's birthday, Shang Xirui and Hou Yukui are good friends, this occasion has to be attended, it is a natural step.Several other theater troupes that have been on hiatus will also take this opportunity to reopen.On this day, Shang Xirui returned to the backstage of Shuiyun Tower, preparing for his comeback.In the past, when we met all day long, we tried every means to deceive him, fool him, and coax him, as if we were alienated from him; we couldn't see him for a long time, and I really missed him!In retrospect, Shang Xirui was all interesting, without him, the backstage wouldn't be fun.So as soon as Shang Xirui returned to the backstage, everyone surrounded him sincerely and talked gossip.
Yuan Lan stood behind Shang Xirui's chair like she did when she was a child, put his head on her chest, and said with a downturned face: "For a little girl who died a crime, she has never met her before, and the evil was made by the Japanese, why are you hurting her?" Heart? What makes us dry is that there are ups and downs, if you don’t come back, we will not pass the year, and we can only go to beg for food!”
Shang Xirui smiled and said: "Senior Sister, don't rely on me, I'm not here, so you can make a fortune singing in class!"
Nineteen shouted from the side: "Listen, brother Rui has learned to talk back!"
Yuan Lan touched Shang Xirui's chin, and said: "Who is shaving your face now? Look at this prickly hand! Turn around and put on your makeup, put lime on the eggplant, let's see how you get on stage!"
I couldn't tell when I was at home, but when the high-powered light bulb in the make-up mirror backstage illuminated it, there was really a light blue shadow on the chin and lips, all Cheng Fengtai's poor craftsmanship was to blame!So this afternoon, Shang Xirui used two silver dollars as tweezers to pick up the stubble, making a constant rattling sound.In this background, only he can be so arrogant.After a while, when everyone arrived, Shang Xirui didn't stay idle, he still plucked his stubble for the meeting, with his legs crossed and his body crooked, his manner was extremely ugly.
Ren Wu is now the secretary of Shuiyun Tower. He can do everything from copying accounts to writing gouache cards.At this time, the list of plays after the opening of the play is announced, and Shang Xirui's two excerpts and one full-length play are reported first.After hearing this, Shang Xirui smiled crookedly and said: "Why am I so unlucky! Either my husband beats me, or my husband kills me, and finally I meet my wicked mother-in-law!"
It made everyone laugh, Ren Wu blushed and said: "I'm sorry for the class leader, I didn't think about it." After discussing changing "Sitting on a Building and Killing Xi" with "You Long Xi Feng", Shang Xirui said "Tell Manager Gu, Sister Li Feng, I will sing in the theater." There are many intimacy in this play, so it is perfect for a bustling theater.After confirming everyone's performances, the meeting was about to be adjourned, and the handyman suddenly told that two Japanese soldiers had come.Shang Xirui didn't want to come forward to deal with the Japanese, he also expected to behave like soldiers and ruffians, he sent them away with some money, and told him: "Just say I'm not here, I don't know where I went to play, The backstage is on vacation, there is no one to make decisions, so if you have something to say, talk to Manager Gu."
In order to pretend to be empty in the backstage, everyone kept quiet, they didn't dare to crack melon seeds, and didn't dare to sip tea, only Shang Xirui's two silver dollars were still coughing and rattling.After a while, I heard Ren Liu raised his voice outside the door: "I'm going to kill you! I really don't understand human language! What kind of right are we entertainers doing with your imperial army? Our class leader is sealing the throat, and the throat is understandable." Hey! It’s the restaurant repairing the stove! The singer’s throat is on fire all year round, and he can’t stand it in the dry weather! He has to rest like a stove for a few days! ——Can’t the restaurant understand? Missy! Does Missy know? That's right! The stove is what you made Missy!"
Everyone in the room couldn't laugh or cry while Ren Liu told the Japanese soldiers stand-up comedy, Shang Xirui laughed twice, thinking what kind of addiction Ren Liu had, playing the piano to cows!Then I heard Ren Wu shout: "Hey! Taijun! You have something to say! Don't do it!" Needless to say, the Japanese soldier was annoyed by Ren Liu's mortal mouth, and was going to beat him up!
Nineteen frowned, exchanged a glance with Yuan Lan, and was about to go out to argue.Their Shuiyun Tower has always been full of yin and yang, girls are more courageous and resourceful than men, and when encountering big and small things, it all depends on a few teachers and sisters to stand up and make decisions.But this time, Shang Xirui didn't dare to let his girl fall into the eyes of the Japanese after what happened to the Dong family of the merchant family, so he grabbed Shijiu back and pushed him behind him: "Xiao Lai brought Tell the seniors to stay in the locker room for a while! I'll talk!"
It was too late, the Japanese soldiers rushed in while talking, but they were not equipped with guns, they should be civilians, when they saw Shang Xirui, they gave a military salute first, and glanced at the actress.Shang Xirui's scalp was numb, his chest stood up in front of the senior sisters, he watched the Japanese soldiers' movements very carefully, thinking that if they dare to make a mess, there are many people here, they will work harder, put the two of them first Beat me to death!In fact, the Japanese soldiers didn't have malicious intentions. The slender satin cheongsams and high-heeled shoes that Yuanlan Nineteen and others still wore in winter made them look half a head taller than them, which was very frustrating.The Japanese soldier handed a document to Shang Xirui, but Shang Xirui didn't even read it, and passed it on to Ren Wuna.Ren Wu took it and swept his eyes quickly, staring at the Japanese soldiers vigilantly, whispering beside Shang Xirui for a while.Japan occupied Beiping and ordered all businesses to open to maintain market stability.Among the literary and art circles, Shuiyun Tower is the first to bear the brunt.
Shang Xirui tossed the two silver dollars in his hands, his heart tossed as well, as if someone had thrown his nose in the face, before he could figure it out, Ren Wu said in a low voice: "Leader, we can't respond to this voice ! Turning around, outsiders don't talk about why you stopped the show, but why you opened the box, how disgusting!" Shang Xirui nodded, never accepting the disgust, and said to the Japanese soldier: "Understood, two Come back, please!"
The Japanese soldier took out a pen from his pocket, insisting that Shang Xirui sign the order immediately.This is an obedient citizen who is forcing people to write in black and white, Shang Xirui took a deep breath and turned cold: "I can't write!" The Japanese soldier took out a piece of ink pad and asked Shang Xirui to press his fingerprints.Shang Xirui turned his head as if he didn't hear it.His appearance, to people who don't know the details, looks very gentle and meek, and he is indeed weak and weak like a girl.The Japanese soldiers grabbed his hand and pushed his back, yelled a few times like training a dog, and tried to press him on the table and force him to take his fingerprints.Shang Xirui was furious, without thinking, he elbowed the Japanese soldier with his backhand, knocking his glasses off.Seeing this, another Japanese soldier yelled, grabbed the props at hand and struck Shang Xirui head-on.The backstage is so small, Shang Xirui turned over on his side, broke a porcelain lamp and fell hard himself.
When things got to this scene, there was no need to be greeted by anyone. The brothers rolled up their sleeves and shouted: "Little Japanese devil! What the hell! How dare you fight with the class leader!"Ren Liu angrily rushed forward and punched Taiping fist several times, which made the Japanese soldiers howl like killing pigs.Seeing that a catastrophe was about to happen, Yuanlan Nineteen and the others were in a hurry and tried their best to fight, but they didn't have the strength to pull the men away, and they only made their temples fly.But after a while, manager Gu came over after hearing the sound, and saw that Shuiyun Tower was actually beating up the Japanese in groups, he was so frightened that he ordered his subordinates to separate them, nodding and bowing to the Japanese soldiers.The Japanese soldiers were completely stupefied just now. Now that they saw Manager Gu, they went to Bei, recalled their identity, strengthened their courage, and immediately turned fierce, claiming to arrest everyone here.How can this be possible!Manager Gu bowed and negotiated the price humbly, begging the Taijun to show his respect.The Shuiyun Tower is still cursing, the Japanese soldiers can't swallow this breath anymore, they are going to arrest people on the spot, Shang Xirui deserves to be the culprit, but they just met Shang Xirui's eyes, Shang Xirui slapped the table, his face It is more fierce than them and wants to bite.The Japanese soldier pointed with a familiar face, "You! Go!"
Ren Liu pointed at his nose and was speechless.
Once you follow the Japanese soldiers, you have to shed a layer of skin, and it will be difficult to come back!Ren Liu didn't leave without saying anything, crying for his father and mother, grabbing Manager Gu to block him for a while, and hiding behind Shang Xirui for a while, it was a mess, Du Qi knocked on the door lazily: "Father still Didn't come! You are grabbing the New Year's money!"
Everyone in the background stopped and looked at him. There was another person standing beside Du Qi, with the brim of his hat pulled down, a thick scarf around him, and glasses.Du Qi didn't need to speak, he walked up to the Japanese soldier and spoke, it turned out to be Yukinojo.Yukinojo showed a document, and spoke Japanese in a low voice, the speed of his speech was almost flying, as if he was afraid that people would listen to him.The Japanese soldier was in such a panic, he straightened his clothes and hats and stood up to salute, pointing his head in a very respectful manner, and finally bowed ninety degrees to Yukinojo, and left without saying anything.As soon as they left, everyone just stared at Yukinoko in a daze, Yukiochi cleared his throat, seemed to have something to say, and said shyly: "It's not a big deal, this document is for everyone who goes out of business, and it's not for the boss."
Yuan Lan's eyes flicked, and she bowed to Yukinoki and smiled: "This Japanese gentleman seems to be able to talk! Thank you for your kindness, and report back to the imperial army. In terms of seniority and reputation, we should be the honor of the Jiang family." The spring troupe is the leader, and the rest of the theater is also the leader. If Master Shi doesn’t open, it’s not easy for a nephew to get past this generation!”
Yukinojo nodded seriously and wrote it down.During Du Qi's time to say a few words, he was busy arranging his hair and face, and said to Shang Xirui: "I heard from the children that you came backstage today, but you are blocked! Are you done? Come with us when you are done." Go! Go to the show!" Shang Xirui agreed, and threw the two silver dollars he had plucked his beard towards Ren Liu without turning his head and said, "Shock!" Slapping the silver dollar, Ren Liu smiled wryly , followed behind his buttocks and shouted: "Thank you, class master, for the reward!"
This trip to the theater together, Xue Zhicheng didn't talk as much as before, he sat there and listened intently, but the play was very ordinary, his concentration seemed sullen, he didn't seem to hear Shang Xirui talking to him.Du Qi poked Yukinoki with his elbow, and said in a cold voice, "I called you out to relax your mind. In front of Boss Shang, do you still want to show face?"
Xue Zhicheng immediately nodded to Shang Xirui in trepidation, answered, turned his head but fell silent again, it's really not his usual style.Until dinner at night, in the small private room of the hotel, Yukinojo had to take off his scarf and hat, his face was startling, the purple marks on the left and right cheeks were still there, and the corners of his mouth were also cracked.According to Shang Xirui's many years of experience in using force, he was slapped more than a dozen times, he couldn't help but look at Du Qi in horror, Du Qi only had a look of pity on his face.Xue Zhicheng covered his face, and glanced at Shang Xirui with flickering eyes: "Boss Shang laughed, I shouldn't go out to meet friends with my face, hey!"
Shang Xirui said sternly: "You have encountered something difficult, tell me, I will make it right for you!"
Du Qiyi stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Don't get meddled, my brother beats my brother."
Shang Xirui listened, nodded, and said with infinite understanding: "Brother beats younger brother, that can't be called shameful." It seems that he was often beaten by his brother when he was a child.
Yukinojo likes opera and poetry, and his career is entomology.The three of them make a living in the mirror, water, moon, and castle in the air. They are far away from real life, and they can't talk about politics.But now is such a situation, after all, Yukinojo is a Japanese, and after drinking some wine, talking about it, he can't hide what is going on in front of him.Du Qi mentioned that the theatrical garden was often attacked by Japanese soldiers, and when the troupe left the city, they even opened the suitcases to search. Can the troupe's suitcases be moved casually?How much attention there is!Opening the suitcase is not counted, and one by one has to be taken out and flipped through.Boss Wang Xiaoping refused to accept this reasoning, argued with the Japanese for a few words, was beaten on the spot, and is still lying sideways to this day.Du Qi regarded Yukinojo as a friend very much in his heart, but he couldn't avoid blame when he said it. He called the Japanese "you".Shang Xirui and Xue Zhicheng are not that familiar, it's not easy to complain along with Du Qi, silently eating the food with lowered eyebrows, not knowing what it was like in his mouth.If it wasn't for the coincidence that Yukinoko came here today, and if it weren't for the two civilian soldiers who came, I don't know how to deal with the chaos in the backstage. The little soldiers dared to come to Shuiyun Tower to make a fuss, smash and make noise.In the past, I didn't blame Du Qi for speaking like this. He didn't realize the relationship between the country and the individual who shared weal and woe until it was a critical moment.At this level, the lowly profession of opera actors has a much deeper understanding than ordinary people.
Shang Xirui didn't say anything when he was wronged, but Xue Zhicheng let out a wow, lying on the table and crying!He kept saying that he was sorry for them and that he was a sinner.Du Qi and Shang Xirui looked at each other in surprise, couldn't bear it, patted Xue Zhicheng on the shoulder and said: "I didn't mean to tell you this... Hey, come on, I'll punish myself with three cups!"
After Du Qisan drank a glass of wine, Yukinoki still burst into tears, and the words in his mouth were changed to "I don't want to live anymore, let me die", and then began to chatter French.
Shang Xirui pouted at him: "Are you drunk? What are you talking about?"
Du Qi took a bite of the food: "I'm drunk. I'm reading poetry."
Shang Xirui asked: "What poem?"
Du Qi listened for a moment, then translated: "I love to think of those naked times...the sun caressing their pubic bones...she used her brown nipples...to feed the entire universe..."
Shang Xirui turned pale with shock, waved his hands repeatedly and called to stop: "Stop it, Young Master Seven! The Japanese are too profligate!"
Du Qi glanced at him: "This is a French poem!"
Shang Xirui ignored him, leaned next to Xue Zhicheng's face, and smacked his tongue: "Good guy! He still wants to breastfeed God! What a talent!"
The outsider was drunk, Shang Xirui took off his quiet mask and talked nonsense.Du Qi laughed loudly, cupped Shang Xirui's cheek and kissed it, the two hugged each other, sticking like honey, almost drunk.Backstage in the afternoon, the Japanese soldiers shoved and pinched off a piece of skin on the back of Shang Xirui's hand, the wound was bright red like rouge.Du Qi held his hand and said, "Brother Rui, we won't be wronged by the fucking little Japan! I'll take you to America!"
Shang Xirui shook his head: "No, I'm going to France, French sounds like Shandong, and it's easy for me to learn." He looked at Xue Zhicheng and said, Du Qi spat at Xue Zhicheng: "Fart! What did he say The words have a Shandong flavor" and said: "Okay, let's go to France, where I have a small villa by the sea!"
Shang Xirui hesitated: "France doesn't have Broadway."
Du Qi said: "America has Broadway."
Shang Xirui said: "But America has no Fragrant Hills, no overpasses, no Zhengyi Temple, no Guangde Building..." Shang Xirui murmured in Du Qi's ear, seeming a little sad, and Du Qi felt sad too .
On the way home, there was a jolt in the car, and all the alcohol kicked up.Shang Xirui supported the door, stood in the snow for a while before going in.Inside the room, the masseur pressed Cheng Fengtai's back, and Cheng Fengtai lay on the sofa and made a phone call: "I can't go, I'm injured, my back hurts... Fuck you! We'll talk about it later! Take Ziqing to the hotel safely first, then the bastard The boy will be good when he sees his sister!" After hanging up the phone, he explained to Shang Xirui: "Sheng Ziyun is a little bastard, he hasn't returned to Shanghai after graduation, his sister has come to arrest him." Shang Xirui didn't respond.Cheng Fengtai continued talking to the massage master, who said with a smile: "Second Master Cheng still can't trust me? This injury is really nothing! That year when Mr. Xue from Shanghai turned over 'three and a half sheets' in Tianchan, there was a female customer who didn't understand the rules. Caitou didn't even have a bone eye, so he was shocked! His shoulder fell off!"
Cheng Fengtai said: "Yo! What happened next?"
The masseur said: "Later, I went to Shanghai and healed him! If your injury can prevent sequelae, why don't you come and smash my signboard?"
Shang Xirui sat across from them and watched for a while, then got up suddenly, went up and stuffed his cold hands into Fengtai's neck without saying a word.As if Cheng Fengtai had been electrified, he bounced up like a monkey.Shang Xirui said to the masseur: "He's just too suspicious! Please make another trip!"
The masseur smiled all over his face, took the consultation fee in a good temper, looked at Shang Xirui's face again, and said slowly: "Boss Shang drank hot wine, his hands are so cold, he hurts his lungs and heart, so he can keep warm." Warm up!"
Cheng Feng put on his slippers and put on his clothes, and came over to hold his hand with great concern: "Isn't it about to open the box soon! How dare you drink!" Seeing the masseuse, he was ashamed for the two of them, and left immediately.The wound on Shang Xirui's hand was painful from Cheng Fengtai's pinching, but he didn't dare to reveal it, fearing that Cheng Fengtai would ask more questions, he pulled out his hand and called Xiao Lai to mix a glass of balsamic vinegar water to hangover.Cheng Fengtai made another comment: "Didn't you say drink vinegar to pickle your throat? Drink some honey!" But he didn't dare to order Xiao Lai, so he had to go and mix honey water for Shang Xirui himself.
Shang Xirui has the same temper as most men, when he returns home, he doesn't want to talk about his career outside.Sometimes he would rather find fault with Cheng Fengtai, fight and lose his temper than confide even a single word.Cheng Fengtai brought honey, Shang Xirui fell asleep on the sofa in the blink of an eye, when he woke up vaguely, the honey was completely cold, Cheng Fengtai held his hand and rubbed the red syrup.Shang Xirui remained silent, looked at Cheng Fengtai with half-opened eyes wearily.Cheng Fengtai does things meticulously, such as performing surgery: tweezers, cotton swabs, two layers of medicine, and sticking plaster.
Shang Xirui had seen enough, said in a hoarse voice: "If I can't wash off this red potion the day I come on stage, you will be beaten."
He suddenly made a sound, Cheng Fengtai was taken aback, and then said resignedly: "It's not rewarding for your kindness! And you know you're going to be on stage? You're drinking like a drunk cat. Go to sleep on the bed!"
Shang Xirui stretched out his hand towards Cheng Fengtai.Cheng Fengtai sat over and pulled him up, hugged him into his arms and shook him, his whole body was drooping weakly, and he said in a muffled voice: "I'm singing in the garden, you have to come."
Cheng Fengtai laughed lightly and said, "I'll come wherever you sing."
Shang Xirui fell asleep again.
Shang Xirui's most important advantage is that he has a big heart, there are too many things that Liyuanxing teaches people to be aggrieved, and those who don't have a big heart can't live today.There was a conflict with the Japanese soldiers, [-]% to [-]% of it was over when he woke up the next day, and on the day of the show, he couldn't remember asking Shang Xirui what the Japanese soldiers were doing backstage!Of course, no one mentioned this in the backstage, and everyone was preparing costumes like porridge.Cheng Fengtai leaned on the dressing table to watch Shang Xirui pull his head, got in the way, talkative: "What seat did you give me! It's near the front, and at the corner, I won't sit there! Noisy! You can't see the whole thing from the stands!"
Shang Xirui straightened his head and squinted at him: "If you say you're a layman, don't deny it! Follow Fan Lian with a stick, and you'll know to book a box on the second floor, it looks like you're rich, right? It's hard to buy a door ! Do you know?"
Cheng Fengtai really has never heard of this sentence, it's hard to buy a thousand gold, he knew it earlier, it's hard to buy a thousand gold to grow old and thin, it's hard to buy a thousand gold to grow old, it's an irrelevant sentence.Cheng Fengtai sneered and said: "The tickets are too hot to sell out, why don't you coax me here? I'm entertaining guests today!"
Yuan Lan interjected: "It's true, Second Master, the next door is always a corner for caring people!" As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and cast a ambiguous look.Cheng Fengtai laughed.
The backstage was about to start a show, and they started blasting people outside, and Cheng Fengtai was also blasted away.Before leaving, Shang Xirui called him to stop, telling him to "Prick up your ears and listen carefully", Cheng Fengtai agreed to go.At the end of the gate, Fan Lian and Sheng Ziqing and Sheng Ziyun sat at a table, chatting enthusiastically.When Sheng Ziyun saw Cheng Fengtai, the smile on his face was put away immediately, since that meeting in Shanghai, he avoided Cheng Fengtai a little bit, and made a fuss when he was too angry to express his anger.After graduating from school, he was not allowed to live in a dormitory, nor did he come to the Cheng family to borrow a room. He shared a messy house with his classmates and lived outside by writing articles for newspapers and asking his family for money.The family urged him hard at first, but when Shanghai fell, they stopped urging him.Cheng Fengtai could see through Sheng Ziyun's cowardly and inept attitude towards Shang Xirui at a glance, he didn't treat him as a person at all, but he was very affectionate with Sheng Ziqing, calling her sister Ziqing.Sheng Ziqing is the older sister of Cheng Fengtai's old classmate Sheng Ziye, who stayed abroad for a few more years, her life's major events were delayed by her studies, and she is still unmarried.Recently, I heard that their old man was not in good health, and Sheng Ziqing became more and more sad at home, because in this kind of old-fashioned family, once the separation of the family was mentioned, the unmarried daughter had to share the family property with the son equally.The old lady and the wife of the Sheng family favored their children and grandchildren, fearing that their daughter would get a lot of money and their son-in-law would be taken advantage of in the future. They agreed to make things difficult for Sheng Ziqing in every possible way, and they must force her to get married immediately.Sheng Ziqing was so sad that she simply ran to Peiping and pretended to catch her younger brother home, but in fact the two sisters were not planning to go back.
Cheng Fengtai knew about these things, of course he didn't say anything on the surface, Sheng Ziqing didn't show any sadness, talking and laughing with Cheng Fengtai and the others as usual.She took out a stack of letters from her bag, which was as thick as half a brick, and said, "This is from Yuan Zhen." When Cheng Fengtai heard that it was Zhao Yuanzhen, he opened it and read it face to face with great interest, and Fan Lian also agreed. Look up.First, a few bodhi-like beads fell out of the letter, Cheng Fengtai held it in his palm and read the letter slowly.This stack is a collection of many letters, many of which are rambling and random, talking about new movies, Japanese planes dropping bombs, soldiers stabbing Chinese people in the stomach in the street, and a fortune teller living in Jing'an Temple Taoist priests, who is divorcing who, painkillers not available in Shanghai, etc.Some of them were written in calligraphy, and some were written in English, signed with lipstick hickeys.One of the letters said that the branches of Cheng's cherry tree came to Zhao's house, and Zhao Yuanzhen asked Zhao Yuanzhen to pick them and eat them. The taste was average, not very sweet, and the leftover cherry pits were specially reserved for Cheng Fengtai to see fresh.Cheng Fengtai smiled and cursed, threw away the cherry pit in his hand, wiped his hands vigorously, and said to Sheng Ziqing with a smile: "Do you think there is something wrong with this person? He traveled so far to do such a disgusting thing!"
Sheng Ziqing kept laughing and said, "That's what she is!"
Shang Xirui's big show is on stage, "You Long Xi Feng", Emperor Zhengde's private visit in micro-clothes, colluding with Li Fengjie.Shang Xirui's name is very famous all over China, Sheng Ziqing didn't need to be introduced at all, and said with a smile: "Boss Shang came to Shanghai a few years ago, and the ticket prices were skyrocketing, a Swiss watch was exchanged for a ticket, there was still a price Wushi, my mother and the others spent a lot of time to see it." Speaking of her heartless mother, Sheng Ziqing smiled resentfully.Fan Lian hastily answered: "Not to mention living in Shanghai, it's hard to get a ticket even in Beiping! The Rongchun troupe and Yunxi troupe have opened these days, so the theater world should be rich, right? Boss Shang's ticket is still Nervous. We are all thanks to my brother-in-law today!" Sheng Ziqing said in surprise, "Did Fengtai know Boss Shang?"
Cheng Fengtai glanced at Fan Lian with a smile, it sounded like a warning, Fan Lian didn't dare to talk, so he interrupted.Shang Xirui rested for a few days, and when he showed his face again, he was full of energy, and the seats below knew his stuff, seeing his appearance, there was an uproar of applause.Sheng Ziqing's eyes were wide open, and Fan Lian didn't hear what she said, so Sheng Ziqing could only raise her voice and shout, "The audience is too noisy!"
Fan Lian leaned into her ear and said, "I miss him so much! Just wait for him to open his voice!"
Sure enough, when Shang Xirui opened his voice, the seats gradually quieted down. "You Long Xi Feng" has a lot of dialogues, Yuan Xiaodi used to praise Shang Xirui for being able to sing a thousand words and four times. After listening to it quietly, Shang Xirui's sharp tune is indeed full of charm, bad plays make people sing Sleeping, a good show makes people drunk, and the bottom is drunk.Shang Xirui asked Cheng Fengtai to prick up his ears to listen carefully, Cheng Fengtai didn't dare not listen and stopped chatting, staring at the stage as seriously as he was in class.
On the stage, Emperor Zhengde asked Shang Xirui: "In Westgate Town, is this the kind of food and drink?"
Shang Xirui: "There is third-class wine and rice."
Emperor Zhengde: "Which third class?"
Shang Xirui: "Upper, middle and lower."
Emperor Zhengde: "Where is this superior one?"
Shang Xirui: "This high-quality food and wine is exclusively for Cheng Fengtai and Cheng Erye."
Everyone here was awakened from a drunken dream.
Cheng Fengtai shivered, as if he heard his name being called, but he couldn't believe it, until he found Fan Lian and Sheng Ziyun staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.The other seats were also in an uproar, those who understood suddenly changed color, and those who didn't understand were told by those who understood, and they all understood. After that, for a long time, all seats were not on the show, but on the stage. Talking about Cheng Fengtai and Second Master Cheng in Shang Xirui's mouth, pattering Solo, people's hearts fluttered.Shang Xirui had expected that this would be the result of a moth on stage, so he dug the hole and buried himself, struggling to pull back the bad show.
Sheng Ziyun stared at Cheng Fengtai, his face ashen: "Did you force him to do this?"
Sheng Ziqing scolded him: "Don't talk to Second Brother like that!"
With tears in his eyes, Sheng Ziyun yelled sadly at Cheng Fengtai: "I knew it! You're going to destroy Xirui!" After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to do anything to Cheng Fengtai, he just swept a few teacups on the table to the ground, Headless and ran again.This kid, that's why he's here. When he was stimulated and angry, he ran away, leaving his old lady to be eaten by the tiger, and he didn't care.
Sheng Ziqing said apologetically: "I don't know what's going on with him either, I'll go ask him, Fengtai, let's meet again later." Then she went after Sheng Ziyun.She was a young woman, and it was difficult for her to move in this crowded theater. Cheng Fengtai wanted to escort her, but Fan Lian held her down.Fan Lian patted him on the shoulder, shaking his head and stomping his feet, as if he was cast down, but also as if he was heartbroken, as if he wanted to kowtow to Cheng Fengtai to be happy, and finally said: "Brother-in-law, you walked around the bandit's den back then and came back to me wholeheartedly." I didn't even convince you, but I did today! Really!" Fan Lian pointed his finger at the stage: "You are not a mortal who can make him spoil the show for you! Brother-in-law, with this ability to win people, you can conquer the world Got it!" After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards Cheng Fengtai, and said: "My lord, wait a moment! The general will go after that..." He didn't think of a good word, shut up and went after Sheng Ziqing.
Cheng Fengtai was also dumbfounded.He remembered that day when Shang Xirui said that he would make amends for him, it turned out to be such a way to make amends!Shang Xirui prepared this high-class banquet for him, it was open and honest, it was widely advertised, it really pissed off the fans!Cheng Fengtai was overwhelmed by flattery, mainly because he was surprised, and he didn't pay much attention to the play in the second half.When the curtain ended and went to the backstage, two people had already arrived first.This banquet also made Du Qi choke enough, he crossed his arms and sneered at Shang Xirui, saying that he "falls into the ink vat" and "sooner or later he will be splashed with saltwater", the whole backstage was shocked It was his voice.Shang Xirui took off his make-up and changed his clothes, pretending he didn't hear anything.Du Qi was so angry that he broke a drum with his kick, ran into Cheng Fengtai when he went out, and gave his boss a vicious look.Although these two people usually don't deal with each other, that is, they ignore each other and neglect each other. After all, they are attached to their brother-in-law's family, and there is no evil.Today Du Qi was so angry that he couldn't bear it any longer, but Cheng Fengtai didn't answer him, and turned his body slightly to let him go.Du Qi walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, turned around, and spat on the ground in a vicious manner.
When Niu Baiwen saw Cheng Fengtai, he was still very polite and did not express anything superfluous. After saying hello, he continued to talk to Shang Xirui: "I'm waiting for Ming's birthday, and I've been singing big plays for three days in a row. ?” While pulling out a piece of paper from the sleeve, there are several dramas on it: "Broken Bridge", "Poetry and Prose Club", "Beating the Golden Branch", "Beating the Drum and Fighting the Golden Mountain", the red line crossed out "Poetry and Prose Club", There is a word ginger written next to it.Niu Baiwen looked at Shang Xirui's face, and said in a low voice: "According to the rules, the Rongchun class chooses one first."
Shang Xirui nodded and said, "Why are there so many Danjiao operas this year?" "Da Jinzhi" was sung these days, and opera singers don't like to sing this cage opera; "Broken Bridge" violated his taboo, only "Battle Gold Mountain" is now.Shang Xirui used a makeup cinnabar pen to underline the name, and wrote Shang next to it.Niu Baiwen smiled and said, "Come on! You get ready, I'll go find the next one." He dried the ink, stuffed the origami back into his sleeve, and suddenly remembered something, and stammered in embarrassment, "Boss Shang, just One thing, you knew what kind of temper Laohou was when he was alive, but when we sing an opera that day, we can't... huh? Boss Shang! We absolutely can't!"
Niu Baiwen was afraid of his big bastard today, Shang Xirui said impatiently: "I know, I will definitely sing according to the book on that day! Brother, hurry up and do your work!"
Niu Baiwen left, the atmosphere in the backstage was weird, the children looked at Shang Xirui dumbfounded.Usually when Shang Xirui teaches them, there are rules and theories, no flirting, no singing, you have to hold back!How come you dare to make such a joke when it comes to yourself?Shang Xirui also felt that today's incident needed some explanation, he cleared his throat, glanced at the little actors in the mirror, and said: "Some things, I am allowed to do, you are not allowed to do it, you still have to sing along to the book ! Do you hear that?" This was his explanation, and the little actors were forced to accept it.
On the way home, Cheng Fengtai had a chance to be alone with Shang Xirui, so he wanted to express his emotion.Shang Xirui couldn't help but punch Cheng Fengtai in the stomach first, and shouted: "Don't say any more! I'm going to regret it! You're a beauty!" Cheng Fengtai held his fist, not caring at all, and said with a smile: "Boss Shang vented my anger on me, I want to thank Boss Shang." When Cheng Fengtai said this, Shang Xirui blushed instead.
Yuan Lan stood behind Shang Xirui's chair like she did when she was a child, put his head on her chest, and said with a downturned face: "For a little girl who died a crime, she has never met her before, and the evil was made by the Japanese, why are you hurting her?" Heart? What makes us dry is that there are ups and downs, if you don’t come back, we will not pass the year, and we can only go to beg for food!”
Shang Xirui smiled and said: "Senior Sister, don't rely on me, I'm not here, so you can make a fortune singing in class!"
Nineteen shouted from the side: "Listen, brother Rui has learned to talk back!"
Yuan Lan touched Shang Xirui's chin, and said: "Who is shaving your face now? Look at this prickly hand! Turn around and put on your makeup, put lime on the eggplant, let's see how you get on stage!"
I couldn't tell when I was at home, but when the high-powered light bulb in the make-up mirror backstage illuminated it, there was really a light blue shadow on the chin and lips, all Cheng Fengtai's poor craftsmanship was to blame!So this afternoon, Shang Xirui used two silver dollars as tweezers to pick up the stubble, making a constant rattling sound.In this background, only he can be so arrogant.After a while, when everyone arrived, Shang Xirui didn't stay idle, he still plucked his stubble for the meeting, with his legs crossed and his body crooked, his manner was extremely ugly.
Ren Wu is now the secretary of Shuiyun Tower. He can do everything from copying accounts to writing gouache cards.At this time, the list of plays after the opening of the play is announced, and Shang Xirui's two excerpts and one full-length play are reported first.After hearing this, Shang Xirui smiled crookedly and said: "Why am I so unlucky! Either my husband beats me, or my husband kills me, and finally I meet my wicked mother-in-law!"
It made everyone laugh, Ren Wu blushed and said: "I'm sorry for the class leader, I didn't think about it." After discussing changing "Sitting on a Building and Killing Xi" with "You Long Xi Feng", Shang Xirui said "Tell Manager Gu, Sister Li Feng, I will sing in the theater." There are many intimacy in this play, so it is perfect for a bustling theater.After confirming everyone's performances, the meeting was about to be adjourned, and the handyman suddenly told that two Japanese soldiers had come.Shang Xirui didn't want to come forward to deal with the Japanese, he also expected to behave like soldiers and ruffians, he sent them away with some money, and told him: "Just say I'm not here, I don't know where I went to play, The backstage is on vacation, there is no one to make decisions, so if you have something to say, talk to Manager Gu."
In order to pretend to be empty in the backstage, everyone kept quiet, they didn't dare to crack melon seeds, and didn't dare to sip tea, only Shang Xirui's two silver dollars were still coughing and rattling.After a while, I heard Ren Liu raised his voice outside the door: "I'm going to kill you! I really don't understand human language! What kind of right are we entertainers doing with your imperial army? Our class leader is sealing the throat, and the throat is understandable." Hey! It’s the restaurant repairing the stove! The singer’s throat is on fire all year round, and he can’t stand it in the dry weather! He has to rest like a stove for a few days! ——Can’t the restaurant understand? Missy! Does Missy know? That's right! The stove is what you made Missy!"
Everyone in the room couldn't laugh or cry while Ren Liu told the Japanese soldiers stand-up comedy, Shang Xirui laughed twice, thinking what kind of addiction Ren Liu had, playing the piano to cows!Then I heard Ren Wu shout: "Hey! Taijun! You have something to say! Don't do it!" Needless to say, the Japanese soldier was annoyed by Ren Liu's mortal mouth, and was going to beat him up!
Nineteen frowned, exchanged a glance with Yuan Lan, and was about to go out to argue.Their Shuiyun Tower has always been full of yin and yang, girls are more courageous and resourceful than men, and when encountering big and small things, it all depends on a few teachers and sisters to stand up and make decisions.But this time, Shang Xirui didn't dare to let his girl fall into the eyes of the Japanese after what happened to the Dong family of the merchant family, so he grabbed Shijiu back and pushed him behind him: "Xiao Lai brought Tell the seniors to stay in the locker room for a while! I'll talk!"
It was too late, the Japanese soldiers rushed in while talking, but they were not equipped with guns, they should be civilians, when they saw Shang Xirui, they gave a military salute first, and glanced at the actress.Shang Xirui's scalp was numb, his chest stood up in front of the senior sisters, he watched the Japanese soldiers' movements very carefully, thinking that if they dare to make a mess, there are many people here, they will work harder, put the two of them first Beat me to death!In fact, the Japanese soldiers didn't have malicious intentions. The slender satin cheongsams and high-heeled shoes that Yuanlan Nineteen and others still wore in winter made them look half a head taller than them, which was very frustrating.The Japanese soldier handed a document to Shang Xirui, but Shang Xirui didn't even read it, and passed it on to Ren Wuna.Ren Wu took it and swept his eyes quickly, staring at the Japanese soldiers vigilantly, whispering beside Shang Xirui for a while.Japan occupied Beiping and ordered all businesses to open to maintain market stability.Among the literary and art circles, Shuiyun Tower is the first to bear the brunt.
Shang Xirui tossed the two silver dollars in his hands, his heart tossed as well, as if someone had thrown his nose in the face, before he could figure it out, Ren Wu said in a low voice: "Leader, we can't respond to this voice ! Turning around, outsiders don't talk about why you stopped the show, but why you opened the box, how disgusting!" Shang Xirui nodded, never accepting the disgust, and said to the Japanese soldier: "Understood, two Come back, please!"
The Japanese soldier took out a pen from his pocket, insisting that Shang Xirui sign the order immediately.This is an obedient citizen who is forcing people to write in black and white, Shang Xirui took a deep breath and turned cold: "I can't write!" The Japanese soldier took out a piece of ink pad and asked Shang Xirui to press his fingerprints.Shang Xirui turned his head as if he didn't hear it.His appearance, to people who don't know the details, looks very gentle and meek, and he is indeed weak and weak like a girl.The Japanese soldiers grabbed his hand and pushed his back, yelled a few times like training a dog, and tried to press him on the table and force him to take his fingerprints.Shang Xirui was furious, without thinking, he elbowed the Japanese soldier with his backhand, knocking his glasses off.Seeing this, another Japanese soldier yelled, grabbed the props at hand and struck Shang Xirui head-on.The backstage is so small, Shang Xirui turned over on his side, broke a porcelain lamp and fell hard himself.
When things got to this scene, there was no need to be greeted by anyone. The brothers rolled up their sleeves and shouted: "Little Japanese devil! What the hell! How dare you fight with the class leader!"Ren Liu angrily rushed forward and punched Taiping fist several times, which made the Japanese soldiers howl like killing pigs.Seeing that a catastrophe was about to happen, Yuanlan Nineteen and the others were in a hurry and tried their best to fight, but they didn't have the strength to pull the men away, and they only made their temples fly.But after a while, manager Gu came over after hearing the sound, and saw that Shuiyun Tower was actually beating up the Japanese in groups, he was so frightened that he ordered his subordinates to separate them, nodding and bowing to the Japanese soldiers.The Japanese soldiers were completely stupefied just now. Now that they saw Manager Gu, they went to Bei, recalled their identity, strengthened their courage, and immediately turned fierce, claiming to arrest everyone here.How can this be possible!Manager Gu bowed and negotiated the price humbly, begging the Taijun to show his respect.The Shuiyun Tower is still cursing, the Japanese soldiers can't swallow this breath anymore, they are going to arrest people on the spot, Shang Xirui deserves to be the culprit, but they just met Shang Xirui's eyes, Shang Xirui slapped the table, his face It is more fierce than them and wants to bite.The Japanese soldier pointed with a familiar face, "You! Go!"
Ren Liu pointed at his nose and was speechless.
Once you follow the Japanese soldiers, you have to shed a layer of skin, and it will be difficult to come back!Ren Liu didn't leave without saying anything, crying for his father and mother, grabbing Manager Gu to block him for a while, and hiding behind Shang Xirui for a while, it was a mess, Du Qi knocked on the door lazily: "Father still Didn't come! You are grabbing the New Year's money!"
Everyone in the background stopped and looked at him. There was another person standing beside Du Qi, with the brim of his hat pulled down, a thick scarf around him, and glasses.Du Qi didn't need to speak, he walked up to the Japanese soldier and spoke, it turned out to be Yukinojo.Yukinojo showed a document, and spoke Japanese in a low voice, the speed of his speech was almost flying, as if he was afraid that people would listen to him.The Japanese soldier was in such a panic, he straightened his clothes and hats and stood up to salute, pointing his head in a very respectful manner, and finally bowed ninety degrees to Yukinojo, and left without saying anything.As soon as they left, everyone just stared at Yukinoko in a daze, Yukiochi cleared his throat, seemed to have something to say, and said shyly: "It's not a big deal, this document is for everyone who goes out of business, and it's not for the boss."
Yuan Lan's eyes flicked, and she bowed to Yukinoki and smiled: "This Japanese gentleman seems to be able to talk! Thank you for your kindness, and report back to the imperial army. In terms of seniority and reputation, we should be the honor of the Jiang family." The spring troupe is the leader, and the rest of the theater is also the leader. If Master Shi doesn’t open, it’s not easy for a nephew to get past this generation!”
Yukinojo nodded seriously and wrote it down.During Du Qi's time to say a few words, he was busy arranging his hair and face, and said to Shang Xirui: "I heard from the children that you came backstage today, but you are blocked! Are you done? Come with us when you are done." Go! Go to the show!" Shang Xirui agreed, and threw the two silver dollars he had plucked his beard towards Ren Liu without turning his head and said, "Shock!" Slapping the silver dollar, Ren Liu smiled wryly , followed behind his buttocks and shouted: "Thank you, class master, for the reward!"
This trip to the theater together, Xue Zhicheng didn't talk as much as before, he sat there and listened intently, but the play was very ordinary, his concentration seemed sullen, he didn't seem to hear Shang Xirui talking to him.Du Qi poked Yukinoki with his elbow, and said in a cold voice, "I called you out to relax your mind. In front of Boss Shang, do you still want to show face?"
Xue Zhicheng immediately nodded to Shang Xirui in trepidation, answered, turned his head but fell silent again, it's really not his usual style.Until dinner at night, in the small private room of the hotel, Yukinojo had to take off his scarf and hat, his face was startling, the purple marks on the left and right cheeks were still there, and the corners of his mouth were also cracked.According to Shang Xirui's many years of experience in using force, he was slapped more than a dozen times, he couldn't help but look at Du Qi in horror, Du Qi only had a look of pity on his face.Xue Zhicheng covered his face, and glanced at Shang Xirui with flickering eyes: "Boss Shang laughed, I shouldn't go out to meet friends with my face, hey!"
Shang Xirui said sternly: "You have encountered something difficult, tell me, I will make it right for you!"
Du Qiyi stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Don't get meddled, my brother beats my brother."
Shang Xirui listened, nodded, and said with infinite understanding: "Brother beats younger brother, that can't be called shameful." It seems that he was often beaten by his brother when he was a child.
Yukinojo likes opera and poetry, and his career is entomology.The three of them make a living in the mirror, water, moon, and castle in the air. They are far away from real life, and they can't talk about politics.But now is such a situation, after all, Yukinojo is a Japanese, and after drinking some wine, talking about it, he can't hide what is going on in front of him.Du Qi mentioned that the theatrical garden was often attacked by Japanese soldiers, and when the troupe left the city, they even opened the suitcases to search. Can the troupe's suitcases be moved casually?How much attention there is!Opening the suitcase is not counted, and one by one has to be taken out and flipped through.Boss Wang Xiaoping refused to accept this reasoning, argued with the Japanese for a few words, was beaten on the spot, and is still lying sideways to this day.Du Qi regarded Yukinojo as a friend very much in his heart, but he couldn't avoid blame when he said it. He called the Japanese "you".Shang Xirui and Xue Zhicheng are not that familiar, it's not easy to complain along with Du Qi, silently eating the food with lowered eyebrows, not knowing what it was like in his mouth.If it wasn't for the coincidence that Yukinoko came here today, and if it weren't for the two civilian soldiers who came, I don't know how to deal with the chaos in the backstage. The little soldiers dared to come to Shuiyun Tower to make a fuss, smash and make noise.In the past, I didn't blame Du Qi for speaking like this. He didn't realize the relationship between the country and the individual who shared weal and woe until it was a critical moment.At this level, the lowly profession of opera actors has a much deeper understanding than ordinary people.
Shang Xirui didn't say anything when he was wronged, but Xue Zhicheng let out a wow, lying on the table and crying!He kept saying that he was sorry for them and that he was a sinner.Du Qi and Shang Xirui looked at each other in surprise, couldn't bear it, patted Xue Zhicheng on the shoulder and said: "I didn't mean to tell you this... Hey, come on, I'll punish myself with three cups!"
After Du Qisan drank a glass of wine, Yukinoki still burst into tears, and the words in his mouth were changed to "I don't want to live anymore, let me die", and then began to chatter French.
Shang Xirui pouted at him: "Are you drunk? What are you talking about?"
Du Qi took a bite of the food: "I'm drunk. I'm reading poetry."
Shang Xirui asked: "What poem?"
Du Qi listened for a moment, then translated: "I love to think of those naked times...the sun caressing their pubic bones...she used her brown nipples...to feed the entire universe..."
Shang Xirui turned pale with shock, waved his hands repeatedly and called to stop: "Stop it, Young Master Seven! The Japanese are too profligate!"
Du Qi glanced at him: "This is a French poem!"
Shang Xirui ignored him, leaned next to Xue Zhicheng's face, and smacked his tongue: "Good guy! He still wants to breastfeed God! What a talent!"
The outsider was drunk, Shang Xirui took off his quiet mask and talked nonsense.Du Qi laughed loudly, cupped Shang Xirui's cheek and kissed it, the two hugged each other, sticking like honey, almost drunk.Backstage in the afternoon, the Japanese soldiers shoved and pinched off a piece of skin on the back of Shang Xirui's hand, the wound was bright red like rouge.Du Qi held his hand and said, "Brother Rui, we won't be wronged by the fucking little Japan! I'll take you to America!"
Shang Xirui shook his head: "No, I'm going to France, French sounds like Shandong, and it's easy for me to learn." He looked at Xue Zhicheng and said, Du Qi spat at Xue Zhicheng: "Fart! What did he say The words have a Shandong flavor" and said: "Okay, let's go to France, where I have a small villa by the sea!"
Shang Xirui hesitated: "France doesn't have Broadway."
Du Qi said: "America has Broadway."
Shang Xirui said: "But America has no Fragrant Hills, no overpasses, no Zhengyi Temple, no Guangde Building..." Shang Xirui murmured in Du Qi's ear, seeming a little sad, and Du Qi felt sad too .
On the way home, there was a jolt in the car, and all the alcohol kicked up.Shang Xirui supported the door, stood in the snow for a while before going in.Inside the room, the masseur pressed Cheng Fengtai's back, and Cheng Fengtai lay on the sofa and made a phone call: "I can't go, I'm injured, my back hurts... Fuck you! We'll talk about it later! Take Ziqing to the hotel safely first, then the bastard The boy will be good when he sees his sister!" After hanging up the phone, he explained to Shang Xirui: "Sheng Ziyun is a little bastard, he hasn't returned to Shanghai after graduation, his sister has come to arrest him." Shang Xirui didn't respond.Cheng Fengtai continued talking to the massage master, who said with a smile: "Second Master Cheng still can't trust me? This injury is really nothing! That year when Mr. Xue from Shanghai turned over 'three and a half sheets' in Tianchan, there was a female customer who didn't understand the rules. Caitou didn't even have a bone eye, so he was shocked! His shoulder fell off!"
Cheng Fengtai said: "Yo! What happened next?"
The masseur said: "Later, I went to Shanghai and healed him! If your injury can prevent sequelae, why don't you come and smash my signboard?"
Shang Xirui sat across from them and watched for a while, then got up suddenly, went up and stuffed his cold hands into Fengtai's neck without saying a word.As if Cheng Fengtai had been electrified, he bounced up like a monkey.Shang Xirui said to the masseur: "He's just too suspicious! Please make another trip!"
The masseur smiled all over his face, took the consultation fee in a good temper, looked at Shang Xirui's face again, and said slowly: "Boss Shang drank hot wine, his hands are so cold, he hurts his lungs and heart, so he can keep warm." Warm up!"
Cheng Feng put on his slippers and put on his clothes, and came over to hold his hand with great concern: "Isn't it about to open the box soon! How dare you drink!" Seeing the masseuse, he was ashamed for the two of them, and left immediately.The wound on Shang Xirui's hand was painful from Cheng Fengtai's pinching, but he didn't dare to reveal it, fearing that Cheng Fengtai would ask more questions, he pulled out his hand and called Xiao Lai to mix a glass of balsamic vinegar water to hangover.Cheng Fengtai made another comment: "Didn't you say drink vinegar to pickle your throat? Drink some honey!" But he didn't dare to order Xiao Lai, so he had to go and mix honey water for Shang Xirui himself.
Shang Xirui has the same temper as most men, when he returns home, he doesn't want to talk about his career outside.Sometimes he would rather find fault with Cheng Fengtai, fight and lose his temper than confide even a single word.Cheng Fengtai brought honey, Shang Xirui fell asleep on the sofa in the blink of an eye, when he woke up vaguely, the honey was completely cold, Cheng Fengtai held his hand and rubbed the red syrup.Shang Xirui remained silent, looked at Cheng Fengtai with half-opened eyes wearily.Cheng Fengtai does things meticulously, such as performing surgery: tweezers, cotton swabs, two layers of medicine, and sticking plaster.
Shang Xirui had seen enough, said in a hoarse voice: "If I can't wash off this red potion the day I come on stage, you will be beaten."
He suddenly made a sound, Cheng Fengtai was taken aback, and then said resignedly: "It's not rewarding for your kindness! And you know you're going to be on stage? You're drinking like a drunk cat. Go to sleep on the bed!"
Shang Xirui stretched out his hand towards Cheng Fengtai.Cheng Fengtai sat over and pulled him up, hugged him into his arms and shook him, his whole body was drooping weakly, and he said in a muffled voice: "I'm singing in the garden, you have to come."
Cheng Fengtai laughed lightly and said, "I'll come wherever you sing."
Shang Xirui fell asleep again.
Shang Xirui's most important advantage is that he has a big heart, there are too many things that Liyuanxing teaches people to be aggrieved, and those who don't have a big heart can't live today.There was a conflict with the Japanese soldiers, [-]% to [-]% of it was over when he woke up the next day, and on the day of the show, he couldn't remember asking Shang Xirui what the Japanese soldiers were doing backstage!Of course, no one mentioned this in the backstage, and everyone was preparing costumes like porridge.Cheng Fengtai leaned on the dressing table to watch Shang Xirui pull his head, got in the way, talkative: "What seat did you give me! It's near the front, and at the corner, I won't sit there! Noisy! You can't see the whole thing from the stands!"
Shang Xirui straightened his head and squinted at him: "If you say you're a layman, don't deny it! Follow Fan Lian with a stick, and you'll know to book a box on the second floor, it looks like you're rich, right? It's hard to buy a door ! Do you know?"
Cheng Fengtai really has never heard of this sentence, it's hard to buy a thousand gold, he knew it earlier, it's hard to buy a thousand gold to grow old and thin, it's hard to buy a thousand gold to grow old, it's an irrelevant sentence.Cheng Fengtai sneered and said: "The tickets are too hot to sell out, why don't you coax me here? I'm entertaining guests today!"
Yuan Lan interjected: "It's true, Second Master, the next door is always a corner for caring people!" As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and cast a ambiguous look.Cheng Fengtai laughed.
The backstage was about to start a show, and they started blasting people outside, and Cheng Fengtai was also blasted away.Before leaving, Shang Xirui called him to stop, telling him to "Prick up your ears and listen carefully", Cheng Fengtai agreed to go.At the end of the gate, Fan Lian and Sheng Ziqing and Sheng Ziyun sat at a table, chatting enthusiastically.When Sheng Ziyun saw Cheng Fengtai, the smile on his face was put away immediately, since that meeting in Shanghai, he avoided Cheng Fengtai a little bit, and made a fuss when he was too angry to express his anger.After graduating from school, he was not allowed to live in a dormitory, nor did he come to the Cheng family to borrow a room. He shared a messy house with his classmates and lived outside by writing articles for newspapers and asking his family for money.The family urged him hard at first, but when Shanghai fell, they stopped urging him.Cheng Fengtai could see through Sheng Ziyun's cowardly and inept attitude towards Shang Xirui at a glance, he didn't treat him as a person at all, but he was very affectionate with Sheng Ziqing, calling her sister Ziqing.Sheng Ziqing is the older sister of Cheng Fengtai's old classmate Sheng Ziye, who stayed abroad for a few more years, her life's major events were delayed by her studies, and she is still unmarried.Recently, I heard that their old man was not in good health, and Sheng Ziqing became more and more sad at home, because in this kind of old-fashioned family, once the separation of the family was mentioned, the unmarried daughter had to share the family property with the son equally.The old lady and the wife of the Sheng family favored their children and grandchildren, fearing that their daughter would get a lot of money and their son-in-law would be taken advantage of in the future. They agreed to make things difficult for Sheng Ziqing in every possible way, and they must force her to get married immediately.Sheng Ziqing was so sad that she simply ran to Peiping and pretended to catch her younger brother home, but in fact the two sisters were not planning to go back.
Cheng Fengtai knew about these things, of course he didn't say anything on the surface, Sheng Ziqing didn't show any sadness, talking and laughing with Cheng Fengtai and the others as usual.She took out a stack of letters from her bag, which was as thick as half a brick, and said, "This is from Yuan Zhen." When Cheng Fengtai heard that it was Zhao Yuanzhen, he opened it and read it face to face with great interest, and Fan Lian also agreed. Look up.First, a few bodhi-like beads fell out of the letter, Cheng Fengtai held it in his palm and read the letter slowly.This stack is a collection of many letters, many of which are rambling and random, talking about new movies, Japanese planes dropping bombs, soldiers stabbing Chinese people in the stomach in the street, and a fortune teller living in Jing'an Temple Taoist priests, who is divorcing who, painkillers not available in Shanghai, etc.Some of them were written in calligraphy, and some were written in English, signed with lipstick hickeys.One of the letters said that the branches of Cheng's cherry tree came to Zhao's house, and Zhao Yuanzhen asked Zhao Yuanzhen to pick them and eat them. The taste was average, not very sweet, and the leftover cherry pits were specially reserved for Cheng Fengtai to see fresh.Cheng Fengtai smiled and cursed, threw away the cherry pit in his hand, wiped his hands vigorously, and said to Sheng Ziqing with a smile: "Do you think there is something wrong with this person? He traveled so far to do such a disgusting thing!"
Sheng Ziqing kept laughing and said, "That's what she is!"
Shang Xirui's big show is on stage, "You Long Xi Feng", Emperor Zhengde's private visit in micro-clothes, colluding with Li Fengjie.Shang Xirui's name is very famous all over China, Sheng Ziqing didn't need to be introduced at all, and said with a smile: "Boss Shang came to Shanghai a few years ago, and the ticket prices were skyrocketing, a Swiss watch was exchanged for a ticket, there was still a price Wushi, my mother and the others spent a lot of time to see it." Speaking of her heartless mother, Sheng Ziqing smiled resentfully.Fan Lian hastily answered: "Not to mention living in Shanghai, it's hard to get a ticket even in Beiping! The Rongchun troupe and Yunxi troupe have opened these days, so the theater world should be rich, right? Boss Shang's ticket is still Nervous. We are all thanks to my brother-in-law today!" Sheng Ziqing said in surprise, "Did Fengtai know Boss Shang?"
Cheng Fengtai glanced at Fan Lian with a smile, it sounded like a warning, Fan Lian didn't dare to talk, so he interrupted.Shang Xirui rested for a few days, and when he showed his face again, he was full of energy, and the seats below knew his stuff, seeing his appearance, there was an uproar of applause.Sheng Ziqing's eyes were wide open, and Fan Lian didn't hear what she said, so Sheng Ziqing could only raise her voice and shout, "The audience is too noisy!"
Fan Lian leaned into her ear and said, "I miss him so much! Just wait for him to open his voice!"
Sure enough, when Shang Xirui opened his voice, the seats gradually quieted down. "You Long Xi Feng" has a lot of dialogues, Yuan Xiaodi used to praise Shang Xirui for being able to sing a thousand words and four times. After listening to it quietly, Shang Xirui's sharp tune is indeed full of charm, bad plays make people sing Sleeping, a good show makes people drunk, and the bottom is drunk.Shang Xirui asked Cheng Fengtai to prick up his ears to listen carefully, Cheng Fengtai didn't dare not listen and stopped chatting, staring at the stage as seriously as he was in class.
On the stage, Emperor Zhengde asked Shang Xirui: "In Westgate Town, is this the kind of food and drink?"
Shang Xirui: "There is third-class wine and rice."
Emperor Zhengde: "Which third class?"
Shang Xirui: "Upper, middle and lower."
Emperor Zhengde: "Where is this superior one?"
Shang Xirui: "This high-quality food and wine is exclusively for Cheng Fengtai and Cheng Erye."
Everyone here was awakened from a drunken dream.
Cheng Fengtai shivered, as if he heard his name being called, but he couldn't believe it, until he found Fan Lian and Sheng Ziyun staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.The other seats were also in an uproar, those who understood suddenly changed color, and those who didn't understand were told by those who understood, and they all understood. After that, for a long time, all seats were not on the show, but on the stage. Talking about Cheng Fengtai and Second Master Cheng in Shang Xirui's mouth, pattering Solo, people's hearts fluttered.Shang Xirui had expected that this would be the result of a moth on stage, so he dug the hole and buried himself, struggling to pull back the bad show.
Sheng Ziyun stared at Cheng Fengtai, his face ashen: "Did you force him to do this?"
Sheng Ziqing scolded him: "Don't talk to Second Brother like that!"
With tears in his eyes, Sheng Ziyun yelled sadly at Cheng Fengtai: "I knew it! You're going to destroy Xirui!" After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to do anything to Cheng Fengtai, he just swept a few teacups on the table to the ground, Headless and ran again.This kid, that's why he's here. When he was stimulated and angry, he ran away, leaving his old lady to be eaten by the tiger, and he didn't care.
Sheng Ziqing said apologetically: "I don't know what's going on with him either, I'll go ask him, Fengtai, let's meet again later." Then she went after Sheng Ziyun.She was a young woman, and it was difficult for her to move in this crowded theater. Cheng Fengtai wanted to escort her, but Fan Lian held her down.Fan Lian patted him on the shoulder, shaking his head and stomping his feet, as if he was cast down, but also as if he was heartbroken, as if he wanted to kowtow to Cheng Fengtai to be happy, and finally said: "Brother-in-law, you walked around the bandit's den back then and came back to me wholeheartedly." I didn't even convince you, but I did today! Really!" Fan Lian pointed his finger at the stage: "You are not a mortal who can make him spoil the show for you! Brother-in-law, with this ability to win people, you can conquer the world Got it!" After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards Cheng Fengtai, and said: "My lord, wait a moment! The general will go after that..." He didn't think of a good word, shut up and went after Sheng Ziqing.
Cheng Fengtai was also dumbfounded.He remembered that day when Shang Xirui said that he would make amends for him, it turned out to be such a way to make amends!Shang Xirui prepared this high-class banquet for him, it was open and honest, it was widely advertised, it really pissed off the fans!Cheng Fengtai was overwhelmed by flattery, mainly because he was surprised, and he didn't pay much attention to the play in the second half.When the curtain ended and went to the backstage, two people had already arrived first.This banquet also made Du Qi choke enough, he crossed his arms and sneered at Shang Xirui, saying that he "falls into the ink vat" and "sooner or later he will be splashed with saltwater", the whole backstage was shocked It was his voice.Shang Xirui took off his make-up and changed his clothes, pretending he didn't hear anything.Du Qi was so angry that he broke a drum with his kick, ran into Cheng Fengtai when he went out, and gave his boss a vicious look.Although these two people usually don't deal with each other, that is, they ignore each other and neglect each other. After all, they are attached to their brother-in-law's family, and there is no evil.Today Du Qi was so angry that he couldn't bear it any longer, but Cheng Fengtai didn't answer him, and turned his body slightly to let him go.Du Qi walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, turned around, and spat on the ground in a vicious manner.
When Niu Baiwen saw Cheng Fengtai, he was still very polite and did not express anything superfluous. After saying hello, he continued to talk to Shang Xirui: "I'm waiting for Ming's birthday, and I've been singing big plays for three days in a row. ?” While pulling out a piece of paper from the sleeve, there are several dramas on it: "Broken Bridge", "Poetry and Prose Club", "Beating the Golden Branch", "Beating the Drum and Fighting the Golden Mountain", the red line crossed out "Poetry and Prose Club", There is a word ginger written next to it.Niu Baiwen looked at Shang Xirui's face, and said in a low voice: "According to the rules, the Rongchun class chooses one first."
Shang Xirui nodded and said, "Why are there so many Danjiao operas this year?" "Da Jinzhi" was sung these days, and opera singers don't like to sing this cage opera; "Broken Bridge" violated his taboo, only "Battle Gold Mountain" is now.Shang Xirui used a makeup cinnabar pen to underline the name, and wrote Shang next to it.Niu Baiwen smiled and said, "Come on! You get ready, I'll go find the next one." He dried the ink, stuffed the origami back into his sleeve, and suddenly remembered something, and stammered in embarrassment, "Boss Shang, just One thing, you knew what kind of temper Laohou was when he was alive, but when we sing an opera that day, we can't... huh? Boss Shang! We absolutely can't!"
Niu Baiwen was afraid of his big bastard today, Shang Xirui said impatiently: "I know, I will definitely sing according to the book on that day! Brother, hurry up and do your work!"
Niu Baiwen left, the atmosphere in the backstage was weird, the children looked at Shang Xirui dumbfounded.Usually when Shang Xirui teaches them, there are rules and theories, no flirting, no singing, you have to hold back!How come you dare to make such a joke when it comes to yourself?Shang Xirui also felt that today's incident needed some explanation, he cleared his throat, glanced at the little actors in the mirror, and said: "Some things, I am allowed to do, you are not allowed to do it, you still have to sing along to the book ! Do you hear that?" This was his explanation, and the little actors were forced to accept it.
On the way home, Cheng Fengtai had a chance to be alone with Shang Xirui, so he wanted to express his emotion.Shang Xirui couldn't help but punch Cheng Fengtai in the stomach first, and shouted: "Don't say any more! I'm going to regret it! You're a beauty!" Cheng Fengtai held his fist, not caring at all, and said with a smile: "Boss Shang vented my anger on me, I want to thank Boss Shang." When Cheng Fengtai said this, Shang Xirui blushed instead.
