Winter Begonia

Cheng Fengtai thought about it before and after, and finally gave up, and the goods were delivered on time.When the goods arrived at the ground, Cheng Fengtai took a closer look, although this is the rear area, but the business operations are orderly, it doesn't look like the war is tense at all.Jiu Tiao didn't show up, and they sent their own soldiers to receive them. The soldiers bowed and saluted and prepared good food.The two Japanese mapmen under his command disappeared as soon as they arrived, and did not return until the early morning of the next day.They accepted the mission of Jiujo again, and they couldn't wait to return to Beiping and return to Sakata.Cheng Fengtai couldn't bear the bad taste of the two of them, so they refused to cooperate.Originally, when the goods went to the field to deliver the goods, the carriages and horses were idle, and they always brought some ginseng skins and the like on the return trip. This was also Cheng Fengtai's sympathy for his subordinates, allowing them to take the opportunity to earn some extra money. This time In order to procrastinate for time, it is particularly thoughtful to arrange it.Passing through the city, Cheng Fengtai personally chooses gifts for Second Mistress, and to buy two pairs of embroidered shoes he has to go to three stores, which is more expensive than shopping for women.Buying ginseng and negotiating the price can't be done within three to five days, and the two mappers jumped in a hurry.

Cheng Fengtai thought it would be fine as long as he returned home before the new year, he forgot that apart from Second Mistress, Shang Xirui would also be anxious.Shang Xirui is worried about himself, his own situation is really bad, looking back on the past ten years, there have been many injustice lawsuits, if a word of gossip is turned into a drop of water, it is enough to soak the city of Beiping three times .Only the rumor of "sleeping with Japanese officers" is not trivial, and its impact is so bad that it far exceeds all previous powers.The enemy-occupied areas have suffered enough from the Japanese, and they have nowhere to vent their grievances. The common people can't catch the big traitors who really harmed the country and the people. I'm used to saying it, and I didn't wrong him very much, after all, there are photos to prove it!

The newspapers in other provinces discuss whether Shang Xirui betrayed his pro-Japanese day by day, and the words he scolded him were quite ugly, but no one dared to tell him.Since Shang Xirui's fall from the stage, his concussion and his arm have gradually healed, only his tinnitus has not been good, and there is a sharp whistle in his restless mind, and when the whistle rings, he can't even hear the person speaking on the other side clearly.He is a singer, if he gets tinnitus on stage and can't hear the strings, is it okay?Shang Xirui was so worried because of this, he went to Xiehe Hospital, the doctor washed out the clotted blood in his ear canal, and seeing that the eardrum was intact, he prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he went several times There was no cure, so he took a basketful of medicine and refused to go again.He seemed to have an ominous premonition, feeling that this small injury would turn into a serious illness, a serious event, the more frightened he was, the more he would not allow anyone to mention it.Shuiyunlou only thought that he was in a bad mood, so they avoided him by coincidence.Xiao Lai is even more used to seeing his doggy face and heartless appearance, and usually doesn't come to ask him to talk.The result of self-deception is that everyone knows that his ear is injured, but they don't know how bad it is.

Even though he was deaf and blind, Shang Xirui gradually realized something was wrong.First of all, the colleagues who had been begging and begging for him to act in the past disappeared overnight, so that Xiao Lai's prepared words of dismissal were useless, and the colleagues seemed to deliberately avoid public contact with him.Later, when Shang Xirui was recovering from his injuries, he went to Huji noodle shop to eat noodles with spicy soup and fried sauce. He couldn't let go of this mouthful after he had been in Beiping for many years. He would go there every once in a while, from boss to mistress They are all familiar with him.But since entering the store that day, the atmosphere was not quite right. The boss and Xiaoer were no longer as enthusiastic as before. They seemed to be taken aback when they saw him at the first glance. They seemed a little flustered. He didn't call out that Boss Shang was coming, and he quickly made food for him.They were afraid that Shang Xirui would be recognized, and hoped that he would eat and leave quickly so as not to cause trouble, but Shang Xirui was recognized before the meal was finished.A diner in a gray padded jacket sat across from Shang Xirui with his noodle bowl, staring at Shang Xirui while chewing; Shang Xirui also chewed, looking back suspiciously.He often has to socialize with strangers, he can't remember his face to idlers, diners occasionally see Shang Xirui, but they remember his plain face very well.The diner put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating, wiped his mouth, sighed contentedly, then put his hands on his lap, bent his back, and asked: "Boss Shang..." Shang Xirui saw that he had something to say, He nodded to him.The diner actually said with a sad face: "Boss Shang, I am an old movie fan of you. I have been praising you since the first time you showed your face in Beiping. You say you are a good person. How can you mess with the Japanese devils?" Close it! Isn't this a waste?"

Shang Xirui stared: "Who said I messed with the Japanese!"

The diner waved his hand: "That's the mother! Many people say that!"

Shang Xirui said: "They fart!"

As soon as the chatter was opened, people gathered around and chattered, but they didn't seem to be asking Shang Xirui for proof, but had already convicted him and persuaded him to change his ways, saying: "The photo must not be fake, right? Boss Shang, if you have any difficulties, tell us, we will try to help you, no matter how difficult it is, you can't rely on the little devil, Boss Shang!"

Shang Xirui was used to being polite with Zuo'er in the past, and joked with them softly, they had never seen Shang Xirui's true face, and thought that showing love to him was a great compliment, if Shang Lang had something unsatisfactory , is to live up to a great love, and they are most qualified to be the first to condemn him.Being stared at from all directions and struck by words, Shang Xirui's face felt hot, his ears were ringing sharply, his lips trembled and said: "No! It's not what you think!" People were still talking, Shang Xirui Rui couldn't hear, stood up and said loudly: "I have been praising me for so many years! Why do you believe the rumors and not believe me when things come to an end? The country has been fighting like this. No matter how confused I am, I will never be as stupid as the Japanese!"

The diners and the people around looked at each other, Shang Xirui gritted his teeth and said, "I won't say anything extra, believe it or not!" Wrapping the scarf around his neck, he left.The people in the noodle shop were still talking to themselves: "I didn't say anything about him! I just looked at you in a hurry!" Another person said: "If you hit it, don't panic!" "What did you hit! Is it really and Japanese?" It happened that one of them brought a photo, so they invited people to pass it around to discuss.There were also people who were Shang Xirui's die-hard fans, and seeing Shang Lang run away in anger after being wronged, they couldn't bear it anymore and started a fight by grabbing him by the collar.

Shang Xirui didn't know these things, he had a small awl in his heart and ears, the small awl penetrated more than three inches into his flesh, and he walked angrily for several miles, the more he walked, the hotter his body became, but his hands were cold .Walking to the depths of a deserted alley, Shang Xirui knelt down and threw a handful of snow on his face, then slowly raised his face, sighing towards the sky with the hot breath hidden in his heart.

Shang Xirui refused to rehearse his own play for several days, sat in the background like a Buddha looking for faults, beat Yang Baoli too, made the little actors extremely nervous.Du Qi came to talk with him today, which means he saved the children in Shuiyun Building.When the stage was overturned at halftime, Sheng Ziyun also came, this nonchalant thing, he was already a messy person, he didn't make any progress at all, unexpectedly Ai Qiqi mentioned the kimono photo to Shang Xirui, in his words It's kind of persuasive.

Shang Xirui pointed at the door, widened his eyes and said: "Get out!" Sheng Ziyun was frightened to stay where he was when he saw Shang Xirui speak harshly.The backstage didn't even dare to ring.Seeing that he was not moving, Shang Xirui stepped forward and grabbed the collar of his shirt and dragged him out the door: "Don't come here again!" Then he closed the door.Sheng Ziyun's family background is very good, Shang Xirui would not easily offend him if he came out to perform, even if Amber went too far, Shang Xirui was not too rough.

Everyone now knows how bad Shang Xirui is in a bad mood, the backstage is so quiet, only the gongs and drums are beating at the front desk, and the actors are singing, throwing a high-pitched voice that hangs people's hearts in the air.Du Qi looked at Shang Xirui and said: "I came today to talk to you about that photo, do you want to drive me away too?"

Shang Xirui didn't look at him, sat down in front of the mirror by himself, and tidied up the table full of paint, ink, and jewellery, expressionless.Du Qi didn't speak, went out and made a few phone calls and came back, dressed Shang Xirui with his own hands: "Everyone is here, let's get there early!" Shang Xirui sat still, and was forced by Du Qi to coax the child The same pulled away.They went to the brothel to meet friends, those cultural celebrities who were still in Peiping loved Shang Xirui deeply, seeing him felt uncomfortable, they took turns serving wine every three days and giving advice.The result of several discussions among the think tanks is that it is better to go to Chongqing or take a break from the show, this is not only out of concern for Shang Xirui's reputation, but also for his personal safety.Whenever he said this, Shang Xirui remained silent, everyone knew what he meant and didn't dare to persuade him harshly.Only Du Qidao said: "Old Jiang's head is ashamed of you, so you take a break from the show; if Miss Dong dies, you are ashamed to take a break from the show. But this time you are so stubborn! Stop and see what's wrong with the wind!"

Shang Xirui shook his head: "Can't stop."

Du Qi shrank, lowered his eyes and said despondently: "It's my fault that I introduced you to Xuezhicheng and caused all these troubles!" He squeezed Shang Xirui's hand: "My savings are enough to support you and Shuiyunlou , stop for a while, huh? Don't worry about money, Qi Ye will not wrong you."

Shang Xirui covered the back of his hand with one hand, and said: "That's not what it means! The crime of taking refuge in the Japanese is too big, I can't take the blame for it. Stopping the show is tantamount to a guilty conscience, I won't lower my head!" So to say , is not unreasonable.Shang Xirui said again: "Besides, it's not Xue Zhicheng, some are others." Several of his old friends are now top traitors, they will definitely be included in the history books in the future, he can't escape this pot anyway Dirty water can only be carried by a hard bone.

Shang Lang and his party talked seven or eight back and forth in vain, but couldn't talk about the reason.But Shang Lang can't wait for them to come up with a good plan, and he will go on stage when the injury is cured, otherwise he will be even more suspicious.Shang Xirui is going to sing "Red Chamber Eryou" with Chu Qionghua.A few days after the listing, Shang Xirui couldn't resist asking Ren Wu about the box office, who would have thought that after his debut, he would also ask about the box office one day.But that's where the blame lies, Shang Xirui's reputation was getting worse, but the box office went up instead of down, it was sold out in the evening of the day it was released.It turned out that the movie fans who love him couldn't bear him being wronged, so they wanted to express their support. Ordinary people also wanted to see the difference between the world-renowned Shang Boss before and after he joined the Japanese, whether he had horns or an extra tail. The stories off stage are much better than those on stage.

Few people knew about Shang Xirui's ear problems, but Li Qiaosong couldn't hide it from the sky.Li Qiaosong felt something was wrong a few days ago when he was waiting for him to hang his voice. He bent his back behind his back and asked softly, "Boss Shang, is your injury still not healed?"

Li Qiaosong's strings seduced the whistle in Shang Xirui's ears, and it became a duet.Shang Xirui sang by guessing, can he not make mistakes, the more anxious he is, the more he makes mistakes, forced a smile: "Don't talk to others. You asked me to order on the day you came on stage."

Hearing that his voice was still very clear, Li Qiaosong pointed to his ears: "Is that true?" Shang Xirui nodded, not wanting to talk about his injury, hesitantly asked: "A lot worse?"

Li Qiaosong said frankly: "Occasionally, the final sound of a word or two is raised, it's not a big problem." He thought for a while: "You are a person who can sing with your ears covered. If you feel that something is wrong with you, don't worry about my strings." , just sing your songs, I can stand it!"

That's what I said, on the day of the show, Li Qiaosong stared straight at the stage with [-]% vigilance.Shang Xirui's Third Sister You has always been good, she can't sing a few words in this play, and it's always okay to read Bai. Third Sister You saw Liu Xianglian's Guan Ya Lou, fascinated, and said to Jia Zhen——

Third Sister You: What is the name of the singer?

Jia Zhen: His name is Liu Xianglian.

Third Sister You: Oh!Liu Xianglian.It's really good to sing!

Jia Zhen: Not bad.

Third Sister You: Does he still sing?

Jia Zhen: It's over, let's stop singing.

Third Sister You: It’s over, let’s stop singing...

Mrs. You: It's getting late, let's go home.

Second Sister You: That's right, let's go back.

At this point in the play, Third Sister You should end up with her mother and sister.But Shang Xirui stood there without moving his feet, he was frozen in a daze, his eyes were straight.I don't know which sentence in the play touched his heart, but he went crazy on stage, this has never happened before!After standing there for a while, the audience also felt something was wrong, fixed their eyes on Shang Xirui and whispered to each other.Chu Qionghua felt bad, turned around and grabbed Shang Xirui's wrist and tugged hard, dragging him staggeringly off the stage.

Once downstage, everyone surrounded Shang Xirui: "Ancestor! What's the matter with you?"

Asked several times, Shang Xirui ignored him.He was still dreaming, looking at the corner of the brocade of his costume on the ground, and murmured: "The singing is over, let's not sing anymore, let's go home."

Yuan Lan and Xiao Lai, the old people who followed from Pingyang, were suddenly terrified, and each saw the look of horror on each other's faces.Others don't know, but they have personally experienced it!Back then, Shang Xirui and Jiang Mengping had a crazy fight, which is what they look like now!Yuan Lan grabbed Shang Xirui's shoulder and shook him: "Brother Rui! Little boy! Do you still recognize me?"

Shang Xirui looked at her: "Senior Sister."

These two words are the curse of the entire Shuiyun Building, Yuan Lan was covered in cold sweat for three or nine days: "Which senior sister am I?"

Shang Xirui looked at her in a daze, his eyes didn't quite match.Several senior brothers exploded first: "What do you say? Isn't madness cured? It's time to commit a crime! It's going to kill me! He's the one to play later!" Yuan Lan immediately pushed Shang Xirui away With one step, he spit on the palm of his hand, and slapped him with a big mouth!Then asked: "Do you see who I am?"

Shang Xirui wasn't woken up by a slap, the slap rang the whistle in his ear, he was woken up alive, shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Yuan Lan."

After such a commotion, the next episode of "Thinking of Marriage" should be the drama of Third Sister You.The crowd didn't have time to think about withdrawing the show and replacing them, so they had to push Shang Xirui up to fate.Shang Xirui learned to sing before he learned to speak, and Shuiyunlou hoped for his talent to save the day.Shang Xirui swayed back to his original position, the whistle in his ears drowned out all the noise, he knew what he was going to sing, but he couldn't sing anymore.

Cheng Fengtai returned to Beiping half a month before New Year's Eve, after a few years of lazy life, this trip was exhausting, his face became red and his beard grew, he was about to become a savage.He was not in a hurry to shave his head and wash his face, and he didn't change his clothes. He was wearing a sheepskin jacket of a farmer's uncle, with lice still tucked in his fur, so he took the two mapmakers to Sakata with this appearance.When Sakata saw him suddenly, he didn't recognize who he was. After he recognized him, he suspected that Cheng Fengtai came to disgust him on purpose.But those two clean Japanese mappers also described it as sloppy and unsightly.The mapmakers felt that this journey was too hard. As surveyors, they had fought several battles with the army, but they were not as tortured as this. They looked at Sakata with tears in their eyes. The tip of the nose twitched.

Sakata greatly praised the two mappers, and settled the bill with Cheng Fengtai's secret room.The orderly sent a plate of Western-style snacks and hot tea, Cheng Fengtai ate eagerly, even sucked the jam on his fingers, and smiled at Sakata embarrassedly: "I'm not hungry, I'm craving sweets. I can’t even eat anything sweet! Sakata Nakasa is laughing!”

Sakata responded with a considerate smile. He recalled in his mind the decent appearance of Cheng Fengtai's suit, leather shoes and Swiss watch before he sold the goods. Compared with the savage in front of him licking his fingers, he couldn't help but believe that he refused to buy the goods at first because he was afraid of suffering, afraid of He shied away in every possible way because he was suffering, and he did not hesitate to offend the Japanese because he was afraid of suffering.The Chinese people in Sakata's eyes are exactly like this. They are willing to die in order not to endure hardships and to enjoy some blessings. If they are so worthless, they don't deserve to die!Sakata recognized the Chinese characteristics in Cheng Fengtai, so he was sure of winning, and he was extraordinarily friendly, pouring hot tea for Cheng Fengtai and listening to him talk about the adventures on the road.Cheng Fengtai can't do anything else, he's good at bragging, and it's quite fascinating like Journey to the West.Gu Dali is a spirit of bones, and Cao Guixiu is Sun Wukong. When he comes back from learning scriptures this time, he wants to see what kind of Buddha Sakata confers on him.

Of course, Sakata also knew about Cao Guixiu's bombardment of the Japanese back then. Because of Commander Cao's face, it has not been determined.Hearing that Cao Guixiu went deep into the Bone Cave to rescue Cheng Fengtai, and even sent troops to escort him, he wondered if he might change course, and felt a little joy in his heart: "Does Master Cao know the destination of Mr. Cheng's trip?"

Cheng Fengtai took a sip of tea and said: "I have sent soldiers to me, how can I not know?" Seeing that Sakata was lost in thought, he smiled and said: "My big nephew has a bad relationship with his father due to some personal reasons. Sometimes, do something Folly, purely to antagonize and embarrass his father, young man's temper!"

Sakata showed a clear expression: "I know that Mr. Cao once studied in the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Those who are lucky enough to experience the splendid Japanese culture should not hate Japan."

Cheng Fengtai nodded: "That's the reason." The lice on his body came to life in the warm room and crawled up to his neck to itch.Cheng Fengtai twisted his neck, and calmly picked out the lice and crushed them to death in front of Sakata. The gesture was as natural and smooth as lighting a cigarette. He must have done it countless times, and it didn't stop him from talking and laughing.Sakata ran the gentleman into a savage through coercion and lure, now it is not good to blatantly dislike this savage, he quietly left the sofa, sat behind the desk, and distanced himself from Cheng Fengtai: "This time Mr. Cheng has made great contributions, I will pay the follow-up payment according to my promise. Mr. Cheng's dedication to the empire, and the friendship of Commander Cao's family, I and General Jiutiao will always remember." He wrote a check to Cheng Fengtai, using a personal account.Cao Guixiu deduced that the transport of arms was Sakata's personal behavior, and it was intended to plan for the retreat of Jiutiao, and Cheng Fengtai believed it [-]%.

Second Mistress got a report early in the morning at home, ready to eat, hot water and new clothes, just waiting for Cheng Fengtai to drive back to court.As soon as he entered the gate, Second Mistress had been waiting with the children for a long time, seeing him with a bearded face and thin face, wiping tears while scolding the Japanese, and blamed Cheng Fengtai for being weak and submissive, he deserved to suffer.In the past, before and after Cheng Fengtai sold the goods, she would always cry like this, complaining and complaining, but her heartache was her heartache, and her dislike was still the same.Cheng Fengtai insisted on hugging the children, but the children laughed and jumped and hid, thinking he was dirty and smelly, and his beard was prickly, so he wanted to hug Chacha'er: "Sanmei, come here and give me a hug, you always kiss my brother Yes." Unexpectedly, Chacha'er neither smiled nor fled, gave him a cold look, turned and left.Cheng Fengtai was stunned for a moment, Second Mistress couldn't figure it out, she just said: "Look at you! Don't bring the lice into Chacha'er's braid!" She picked up the broom to protect the children and drive him away, not allowing him to enter the second gate, He went directly to the ear room to take a bath and shave his hair, and took all his clothes, shoes and socks to the back kitchen and burned them.

After joking with his wife and children, Cheng Fengtai soaked in the bathtub and closed his eyes, his face full of tiredness.As soon as you calm down, your mind is full of things, and your life is like playing chess. You can't make a wrong move. When you pick up a chess piece, you have to calculate several moves in advance in your head.The stove was very hot, Cheng Fengtai gradually dozed off, one hand pressed gently on his shoulder, and a voice said: "Second Master, wake up, you should catch a cold when you fall asleep like this."

Cheng Fengtai opened his eyes and saw that the person speaking was a boy with sculpted brows and narrow face, about fifteen or sixteen years old, his temperament and dress were indescribably different from other servants.The young man lowered his head and bent the corners of his mouth, smiling with red lips and white teeth. He wiped his back and put on his clothes with his sleeves half rolled up. The room was steamy and hazy, and there was no one else. Cheng Fengtai looked at him more and more strangely: "Who are you?" child?"

The young man said, "Second Master calls me Qiufang, and I am the nephew of Lao Luo at the back door."

Cheng Fengtai didn't ask any more, if it was a pretty girl, maybe he could still tease her, no matter how handsome the kid is, he is still a kid, he doesn't like to watch it.This Qiufang is silent, but she has a way of serving people, pointing at the orchid to shave Cheng Fengtai's beard and sideburns, the gesture is obviously trained, Cheng Fengtai smelled the faint fragrance of his body, and after a while knelt on the ground with one leg, holding Cheng Fengtai's Holding feet in arms and wearing socks.There is no irregularity in every move, but there is irregularity everywhere.Cheng Fengtai was the one who had been enlightened by Shang Xirui, he had soaked in the pear orchard in the past few years, he had seen a lot, he stepped back, didn't look at him, put on his shoes and left.

Second Mistress sat on the edge of the bed with one leg bent in the wing room, Cheng Fengtai lit a hookah and handed it to her. When husband and wife meet, they always talk about their experiences.Cheng Fengtai's words to Shang Xirui were all hype, but to Second Mistress, like a son and daughter to their parents, they never report good news but not bad ones.The wonderful journey along the way, the only thing I can tell the second grandma is that the food is almost as bitter.Second Mistress Zhang Luo held a banquet at home in the evening, and called Cheng Meixin and Fan Lian over for dinner, to clean up Cheng Fengtai's dust.While talking, that Qiu Fang came again, and whispered through the door: "Second Mistress, my master's things are left behind."

Second Mistress said, "Send it in."

Qiu Fang held Cheng Fengtai's close-fitting bag, inside which were the golden lotus embroidered shoes brought to Second Mistress, Second Mistress didn't avoid Qiu Fang, she poured it out to fiddle with it, and said angrily: "Can the patterns in the north be as good as Suzhou embroidery? Baba brought these from all the way away Come back!" Still put it away very lovingly, and said to Qiufang: "Go and hold the second master's shoulder, there is no wink at all!"

Qiufang couldn't hold Cheng Fengtai's body, Cheng Fengtai sat down on the edge of the second grandmother's bed, and said with a smile: "The child has no strength! Just punch me twice!"

Second Mistress put down the hookah, knelt behind his back and beat him: "I owe you! You will trouble me when you get home!"

Qiufang had nothing to do, so she retreated in embarrassment, Cheng Fengtai didn't ask him, but the second mistress felt that there was a need to explain: "Qiufang, this child has a hard life. He lost his parents when he was young, and he fell into the theater troupe. At this age, he should be a teacher Well, it's just that the voice is so bad that it's impossible to sing. Lao Luo begged me to give the child a bite to eat, and I called to have a look. The child is clean, raised at home, and can read a lot of words, stay for me to watch It’s good to see the account book.”

The family under the rule of the second grandmother completely continued the old style of big family.The backyard is like the emperor's harem, apart from a few princes, Cheng Fengtai is the only living man.Qiufang's half-grown boy, without the permission of the second grandmother, would never go deep into this place to deliver things.There is no need to explain the meaning of the second mistress.The harem she manages can have Zhao Yuanzhen and Qiufang, but it can't have Shang Xirui.Because Zhao Yuanzhen and Qiufang are both "clean and clean, raised at home".Shang Xirui has a wild reputation.

Cheng Fengtai has been running around for more than a month, and the second grandmother came up with such a trick at home to find out what she liked. I don't know if she planned it for a long time, or it was a sudden burst of inspiration.Cheng Fengtai wants to say that he doesn't like opera actors, let alone male opera actors, no matter how beautiful a woman is.He and Shang Xirui have never been about being good-looking and sleeping with them, how can the attraction between temperaments be easily replaced?Second Mistress whispered in his ear how good Qiu Fang was, Cheng Fengtai swallowed the words disheartened.

In the evening, the whole family had dinner, they were all close relatives, and they sat at two large tables regardless of gender.Fan Lian brought Sheng Ziqing to the family banquet, the meaning was very clear, and the two of them were in agreement.So Second Mistress was extremely attentive to Sheng Ziqing, and Cheng Fengtai also praised Fan Lian: "Good! You are capable, Ziqing has a high vision, which means that my brother-in-law is not very bad." Fan Lian gave him a look: "Look at what you said. Me and Ziqing I don't know how much we can talk about." Cheng Fengtai grabbed the flagon to pour wine, accidentally knocked a plate of dipping sauce, Qiu Fang took it and poured wine for him first, then squatted on the ground to wipe his trouser legs.Qiufang is a little green among the red bushes among the maids and mothers, and she specializes in serving Cheng Fengtai.Fan Lian leaned back and swallowed a mouthful of wine, his eyes rolling wildly.

After dinner, Cheng Fengtai and Fan Lian avoided going out to smoke and chat, and talked about Sakata's affairs, Qiu Fang came in to set a charcoal basin to serve tea.As soon as he left, Cheng Fengtai lifted his chin towards his heels and said: "Your sister will not put a girl on me now, but a boy instead. Let the boy be a boy. I don't sleep anyway, so it doesn't matter. She finds a lady Stomach! Twist the towel with two orchid fingers, isn’t it interesting? You can’t say no to it, if you say it, you’ve got ulterior motives, turn around and show me your face, and get angry with me.” Fan Lian kicked his legs while laughing, Cheng Fengtai couldn’t bear his gloat As if hitting him in the face with pine, Fan Lian hid and said, "Brother-in-law, take it easy! In the past, you could push away a big girl. Now it's a young man. I see how strong you are. Hang!" Cheng Fengtai grabbed a handful of pine nuts, lifted Fan Lian's collar and poured them in.

Fan Lian and Cheng Fengtai were joking, but Cheng Fengtai really took it to heart, before going to bed, he checked that the person on the bed hadn't dropped his bag, and the door was closed tightly, before he dared to take off his clothes and lie down.It's such an absurd life.The next day when he woke up after a full sleep, Qiu Fang still came, it was inconvenient for Cheng Fengtai to contradict Second Mistress face to face, since Second Mistress was not in front of him, he had no good temper towards Qiu Fang at all.Ordered Qiu Fang not to speak or move, to stand in the corner with her face turned away, and quickly dressed and washed herself, as if she would be disgusted if she was too late, he couldn't wait to meet Shang Xirui and hug Feng Yi.Shang Xirui is not in the mansion, he said he went to a play.It's really rare for Cheng Fengtai to catch up with the theater, today is Shang Xirui's "A Dream in the Garden", because the repertoire is classic, it is easy not to show it, at most three or four times throughout the year.Being chased away by Cheng Fengtai today, it was as if he was specially greeted.

The scene was changing on the stage, he still remembered the talker who was so hard to buy, he thought what a surprise it would be if Shang Xirui came to the stage to take a look at the seat and see him sitting in front of him!He discussed changing seats with the guest who was sitting at the next door, but before he could speak clearly, the guest put his index finger to his mouth and hissed, and reprimanded him angrily: "What are you doing? You can do whatever you want! Don't make noise! " After all, he was afraid that Cheng Fengtai would be entangled again, so he hurriedly gave up his seat, turned around and ran to the box.After Cheng Fengtai sat down, he found that the whole audience was actually very weird today.This is not Qingfeng Theater, this is the oldest theater, Cheng Fengtai knows how noisy the theater is.But now it's completely silent!It would be an exaggeration to say that there was no sound at all. Occasionally, there would be one or two coughs in the still air, as well as the sound of a stool being dragged on the floor. They were very restrained, and made the silence created by everyone's concerted efforts, as if they were afraid of waking up Liniang in her dream. , Startled the egrets on the water.

Cheng Fengtai asked the seat beside him: "What's wrong? No one is allowed to talk?"

Unexpectedly, that seat also reacted like the previous guests, with a stern face to stop Cheng Fengtai, staring as if meeting an enemy.Anyway, whoever dares to make a noise in Shang Xirui's place now will be Zuo'er's father-killer and enemy, delaying Shang Lang's play, they can really beat him to death one by one!

In this weird atmosphere, Cheng Fengtai gradually felt a little bit of terror.Turning to look at Zuoer, everyone has a face of sleepwalking, with both hunger and thirst for rain from the sky, and nervousness watching the fuse burn and explode.It's like there is a heart-eating goblin on the stage who eats people's hearts and livers. People are waiting for the goblin to reappear, and mercifully spit out the hearts and livers back to them.Cheng Fengtai knew that Shang Xirui's play was so good that he put a spell on everyone in the garden, making them go berserk, which is unprecedented.

Li Qiaosong came on stage first.

Li Qiaosong took a flute and sat very close to the stage, just looking at this was also very strange.The flute sounded, and Du Liniang took Chunxiang into the garden for a tour.Shang Xirui is wearing a pink costume, no change from Cheng Fengtai's appearance before taking the goods.But as soon as he appeared, Cheng Fengtai knew that something extraordinary happened to Shang Xirui while he was away from Beiping!This incident has crushed his flesh and blood, broken his bones, made him no longer play any role, and died. Then, Du Liniang's ghost wandered, her lips parted, and she came back from the corpse!

There is a connection between Cheng Fengtai and Shang Xirui, he knows it without speaking.Every time Shang Xirui sang a word, it was like a thread wrapped around Cheng Fengtai's neck, making him breathless and making him hate Du Liniang on stage for no reason.He really wanted to take out his pistol and shoot the ghost that had come for thousands of years, and he wanted to wake up the audience one by one, and tell them that Boss Shang was eaten by Du Liniang, and the one on the stage is a ghost, you can't see , as only I can see.

The eyes were full of spring, and Du Liniang was about to go back after seeing all of them within ten steps.People were reluctant to let Du Liniang go, and there was a burst of applause.Zuo'er and Shang Xirui also have a special bond, the ones singing on stage are either humans or ghosts, they also have piercing eyes and sharp ears.Listening to the opera and hearing today, you will know what is a word for foolishness and what is a word for drunkenness.Yes, Shang Xirui may have really slept with the Japanese, he devoted himself to serving the enemy, he will be spurned every day.But what is Du Liniang's crime?Du Liniang just clings to the corpse of such a flirtatious girl and shows up, revealing her shape, with a passion for Liu Mengmei who wants to find her in her dream.There are so many strange things, but Du Liniang cannot be blamed!

Zuo'er cried and screamed, but begged to keep Du Liniang in the world for a long time.Cheng Fengtai closed his eyes and felt tears streaming down.
