Winter Begonia

On this day, Cheng Fengtai was reading the newspaper with his legs crossed in the background.He is now the wonder of Shuiyun Tower, after listening to Shang Xirui's play, he went backstage and sat reading newspapers and drinking tea, the first to come and the last to leave, rain or shine.Everyone suspected that he had actually taken a fancy to a certain female actress in the class, putting on airs and making noises.However, he almost only argues with Shang Xirui, and his attitude towards other actresses is very normal, even a bit reticent to talk too much as if avoiding suspicion.What is the intention, everyone can't guess.It's understandable for a young rich businessman like him to do some crazy things, probably because he's out of line, he became good friends with Shang Xirui.

Shang Xirui thanked him for his seat on the stage, the fanciers gave him a plaque today, he would definitely not be able to come down within half an hour.Cheng Fengtai finished reading a newspaper and had nothing to do, so he called the handyman to give him some money, and the handyman immediately brought him a stack of old newspapers from previous years, enough for him to read for a year.In the past days, Cheng Fengtai devoted himself to the great cause of eating, drinking and having fun, and rarely had the time to settle down to read a newspaper, and he heard many current events from Fan Lian's mouth.But since he has been running to Shuiyun Tower frequently, he has learned a lot about the world situation in China.

Cheng Fengtai reads the newspaper in silence and doesn't speak, afraid that if the conversation gets heated, Shang Xirui will come in to see if he is not happy.Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, if they show some eyebrows and eyes, will he come to Shuiyun Tower in the future?What's more, he has no interest in the few spoilers in Shuiyunlou.But the actresses couldn't help him neglecting them.Yuan Lan hummed a little tune in front of Cheng Fengtai, scratched her head and tail, took off her costume, and leaned back to sit on the chair.Cheng Fengtai turned a page of the newspaper without lifting his eyelids.Of course, Yuan Lan's doing so was against the rules. The hundred-year-old Liyuan rules are the same as Dan Jiaoer's not being able to touch the vermilion pen. Dan Jiaoer also needs to avoid people when changing clothes, otherwise she will be punished.But today Shijiu is not here, no one dares to blame her.

Yuan Lan put one arm on the back of the chair, turned around to look at Cheng Fengtai, and said softly, "Second Master Cheng..."

Cheng Fengtai still didn't raise his eyes: "En?"

"You've been acting abnormal lately! Earlier, although you often came to our Shuiyun Tower to sit and sit, how could you be so diligent! You didn't miss a day..." She dragged her voice, a little bit blameful, and a little coquettish: " Don't say anything to us. What do you mean?"

Cheng Fengtai looked at her, continued to flip through the newspaper, and said with a smile: "Master, is this an order to evict guests?"

Yuan Lan said angrily: "How dare I! You are a distinguished guest of our Shuiyun Building, your parents! I just don't understand you."

"Is there anything I don't understand, thanks to the fact that you are also on the scene, so you can't tell?" Cheng Fengtai closed the newspaper and looked at Yuan Lan, cleared his throat and said, "I'm picking on your class leader!"

When he said this clearly, all the actors in Shuiyunlou were stunned, and then they all felt that they were being teased, and shook their heads and laughed.Yuan Lan was also dumbfounded at first, and then slapped him across the air, giggling: "Second master is really! —— If you don't want to say it, let's just say it, and we can't do anything to you. Why bother to involve our leader Shang again! He is a child of a family, young and tender-skinned, and I will annoy you when I hear this later, I don't care."

Cheng Fengtai thought to himself, Fan Lian doesn't need me to tell him, Xiao Lai is even better, Shang Xirui and I have not even started yet, she seems to be aware of it.How come Shang Xirui's lair, where he loves gossip and gossip, doesn't believe it?He whispered: "Commander Cao can pick him up, but I can't? What do you say?"

Yuan Lan stared closely at Cheng Fengtai, with a hot and flirtatious look in her eyes.She also lowered her voice and said, "I'll believe anyone you like here, but no one will believe you if you like Shang Xirui. From now on, use someone else as your cover!"

"Why? I don't understand."

"It just doesn't look like it."

"I don't look like a showman? Or does he not hang out with idlers?"

"You're a showman, and he hangs out with idlers. It doesn't look like you two together."

"Oh?"

Cheng Fengtai and Shang Xirui themselves don't think that when they are together, they are just a pair of humming couples, with no romance in their brows and eyes, but endless playful ideas, like a big boy playing with a little boy, no matter how close they are It's not like being in love.Therefore, except for Fan Lian Xiaolai who can see things clearly, no one else can think of them together - Lao Ge can't be counted, Lao Ge thinks everyone is his second master's concubine.

Yuan Lan turned around and smiled at the mirror: "Don't ask, if you don't look like it, you don't look like it. No matter who you ask, you won't look like it."

Cheng Fengtai shook out the newspaper, sighed a long time, and said: "I will publish a newspaper for "Jinghua Daily" later, and you will know that I am real or fake."

Yuan Lan pursed her lips and smiled, waiting to say something, Shang Xirui pushed the door open, his face beaming, followed by two plaque bearers, followed by a picker.For Shang Xirui, the picker specially prepared a huge tray, full of bounties.In Shang Xirui's income, 800 yuan a month including silver is not the bulk.Every time he thanked his seat, the rewards thrown up from below amounted to hundreds of thousands.Ocean banknotes were wrapped in colored paper, and they were thrown onto the stage like hailstones.The ladies are usually the most excited group, they cried and screamed Shang Xirui's name when they heard the emotion, and took off the jewelry from their bodies after throwing away the money, and some threw their engagement rings and heirloom gold locks.Once, a lady was dizzy after listening to Shang Xirui's "Da Ying Jie Lie", with tears streaming down her cheeks, she took off a jadeite bracelet from her wrist and threw it onto the stage, dropping emerald jade scum all over the floor.

As soon as Shang Xirui sat down, Xiao Lai immediately poured him tea to remove his make-up, his hands and feet were very quick, without any delay.From the mirror in Shang Xirui's position, the sofa that Cheng Fengtai is sitting on can be reflected exactly.Shang Xirui smiled and smiled at Cheng Fengtai from the mirror, and called out at length: "Second Master..." Cheng Fengtai also smiled at him, and replied: "Hey, Boss Shang." Eyes met with such lingering affection To vote, in the eyes of others, they only think that the two of them are having fun for no reason, which is not worth mentioning.

The picker presented the tray to Shang Xirui.Those oceans and banknotes went directly to the officials, and Shang Xirui had to wait for the jewelry to look at it, keep what he liked, and distribute it to everyone as bonuses.Under the strong light of the dressing table, a plate of jewelry is dazzling, including pearls, agates, emeralds, and tortoiseshell.Shang Xirui was not at all impatient with these treasures, he drank the tea slowly, removed the mask, and then fiddled with the plate a couple of times in a disinterested manner.

Yuan Lan poked her head and said to him: "Brother Rui, if you see a big pearl necklace, don't take it, keep it for me. My string of longan pearls is broken, and I don't need to wear it with the cheongsam."

Shang Xirui nodded to her with a smile: "Okay." He rummaged through it, picked out a jade bracelet, held it up to look at it repeatedly, and said: "This kind of jadeite looks very hard, it's not afraid of falling, I'll play it tomorrow." It can be used when Sun Yujiao is here."

In "Picking Up Jade Bracelets", all the others picked up were green glass bracelets that cost [-] cents apiece from the stalls.Shang Xirui has a strange habit in this regard, if the props are genuine, he will feel more and be able to get into the play, and the cost will be high.He said that he wanted to act as a real noble concubine and real lady, and he needed to wear real clothes all over his body, so that the clothes were perfect and impeccable.Wearing a broken copper and rotten iron, I feel timid in my heart, how can I believe it? ——This can be regarded as his excellence.

Shang Xirui only took one bracelet, and the rest according to their seniority each grabbed a handful and broke them up, Cheng Fengtai was so generous looking at it, he thought it's no wonder that Shuiyunlou couldn't break up no matter how much they fought, they are big Little devil, surround Shang Xirui with a good boy.

They were chatting, and Sheng Ziyun rushed in holding a box, shouting, "Xirui! Look what I brought you!" He went home for the New Year a while ago, and after school exams, he never had a chance to come and see Shang. fine core.Today he took advantage of a loophole to escape, but met Cheng Fengtai again, and stood there regretting to death.In fact, no matter what day he comes now, he has to meet Cheng Fengtai.

"Second Brother Cheng...you are here..."

Cheng Fengtai glanced at him, and said coldly: "It will be more than a month since I came back from Shanghai, right? Why don't you come to my house first, and I have to invite you? Young master is not airy!"

Sheng Ziyun hesitated.Cheng Fengtai halfway through his local accent, said: "How is the house? The old lady is in good health?"

Sheng Ziyun said: "Pretty good."

Cheng Fengtai said: "The person who showed me the house will definitely visit relatives and drink old wine during the New Year, so that no fireworks will jump into the house. Has your fourth brother looked after me?"

"Yes. On the first day of the new year, my fourth brother went to see it in person. The doors and windows are in good condition, and there is nothing wrong."

"I asked him to bring me some pear paste candy and sandalwood olives on the phone. Where are the things?"

Only then did Sheng Ziyun remember that there was still trouble, and he smiled apologetically, "I brought it, it's in the dormitory. I'll send it to your home tomorrow."

"Don't. I dare not trouble you. Let me get it."

Sheng Ziyun didn't want to be reconciled and went back like this, peeking at Shang Xirui, Shang Xirui didn't say a word other than saying hello to him just now, his heart was really empty.

Cheng Fengtai glared at him: "Why are you still standing here! Your brother complained to me last time! He said that you have fallen behind in your homework and poor writing, as if you blame me for not keeping an eye on you! You know it in your heart!"

Sheng Ziyun walked quickly to Shang Xirui with downcast eyebrows, quickly thrust the box into his hand, and pressed his hand hard, like a kind of entrustment.Then he said to Cheng Fengtai: "Second brother, then I'm leaving."

Cheng Fengtai waved his hand impatiently, and Sheng Ziyun left in fear.At this time, the actors almost all left.Shang Xirui smiled and said: "Why are you acting like a father training his son, you are not usually so fierce!"

Cheng Fengtai said: "You don't know. Boys of his age are the easiest to imitate. There is nothing wrong with being strict with him."

Shang Xirui snorted: "Come here to learn to be bad?"

Cheng Fengtai immediately laughed and said: "How can it be, coming to Boss Shang's place is to be influenced by art. I'm afraid that he will play around outside after leaving the theater."

Shang Xirui opened the box, inside there were a few colorful and crystal-clear decorations on the head and face, all of which were custom-made crystal stones, and the silver house logo was printed on the hairpin handle, which fit Shang Xirui's concept of "genuine" and "unique". hobbies.It must be that Sheng Ziyun went home to receive the New Year's money and had ample money, so he was in a hurry to make money to please Shang Xirui.But Shang Xirui compared them to his head and put them back in the box, with a flat smile on his face, very disappointing.

Shang Xirui said: "It has nothing to do with me if he wants to be bad. I never invited him, he wanted to post it himself."

Cheng Fengtai walked behind Shang Xirui, bent down to watch the box of noodles, Shang Xirui's whole body was under his cover, his heart beat faster immediately.

Cheng Fengtai said: "What a cruel heart. It's really hard to please Boss Shang, and Master Yun has already given everything he has."

Shang Xirui raised his head and sniffed Cheng Fengtai's neck, the cold tip of his nose was pressed against the hot neck, both of them itched a little.

Shang Xirui said softly: "It's not difficult at all to please Boss Shang."

Cheng Fengtai looked at him with a smile: "Then teach me."

"Second Master can always watch Boss Shang sing from the audience like he is now, and Boss Shang is very happy."

"It's really not that difficult."

"You promised me?"

"Yes. Promise."

The two people's breaths blended into each other's speech, and they expressed a feeling of confusion and fascination, almost like kissing.Xiao Lai distracted them by pretending to pack up things before plugging in, and at the same time took away the head box, she was very concerned about Shang Xirui's money.Cheng Fengtai straightened up with a sigh, Shang Xirui also felt a little regretful.

"The day after tomorrow An Wang Lao Fujin celebrates his birthday, and I'm going to sing at the church party, can the second master come too?"

"I didn't want to go at first. But for Boss Shang's play, I have to go."

As expected, Shang Xirui was easily satisfied.
