Winter Begonia

Most of the people who were fascinated by the show had left, and there were only a few hardcore fanciers who were fascinated. The cups and plates were messed up and the tea was cold. It was very bleak and bleak.The theater fans are like Tang Minghuang, who are a little bit unlucky. When it is hot, they are loved by three thousand people, and when it is cold, they leave the imperial concubine alone in the Baihua Pavilion.Shang Xirui, Concubine Yang, can think about it, she doesn't seem to have heard of everything around her, she is still singing vigorously on stage, she is about to bend down to taste wine, when a man in short clothes angrily comes out with a hot teapot Cheng Fengtai walked in front of him, approached him and threw it on the stage vigorously, he even greeted Shang Xirui with the teapot and boiling water.

"Singing about your grandma! Bitch!!!"

Sheng Ziyun exclaimed on the second floor: "Xirui!"

Shang Xirui took a step back, cast a sidelong glance at the man, regained his composure and continued singing.The master who played the huqin followed immediately.This is the rule on the stage, as long as the actor is still singing, he will take care of it. As for the death or blood, it has nothing to do with the luthier.

The man couldn't disturb him with a single blow, so he became even more mad, and wanted to jump on the railing with both hands to beat him.Cheng Fengtai understood, it was because Shang Xirui changed the play and offended the public, the fans refused and wanted to show him something.Shang Xirui is as delicate and weak as a girl, how can he withstand a slap in the face of a big man's anger, isn't it about to kill someone!With Cheng Fengtai's temper, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by, ran up a few steps and grabbed the crazy fancier's shoulders to pull him down: "Sir, don't get excited, you have something to say."

Crazy fancier's eyes were red, pointing at Shang Xirui and cursing: "This bitch ruined Concubine Yang!"

I used to tell jokes about worrying about the ancients, but today I really met them.Concubine Yang died so badly that her bones were rotten, and after thousands of years, someone still stepped forward to protect her. If the imperial concubine's soul knew it, she would be so moved that she would cry.Cheng Fengtai smiled and said: "No way! How can an actor spoil Concubine Yang? The one who spoiled Concubine Yang is obviously her father-in-law who picks up ashes!"

Cheng Fengtai's mouth is so critical that he still adds fuel to the fire and jokes with others, isn't it just looking for a beating?The crazy fancier was furious, and with a roar, he raised his fist and punched.Cheng Fengtai was hit hard on the cheek, the corner of his mouth was broken by his teeth, and there was a meandering line of blood on his chin.He is a student and a businessman, and he never knows how to fight, but he is ruthless and wild, and he throws at people without knowing what he touches. With Cheng Fengtai alone.

Seeing that something was wrong, some staff in the theater ran over to fight the people away, helped Cheng Fengtai to sit down, and waited on him in a hurry.They have been copying their hands to watch the show since just now, and they have watched it for a long time.Because the boss ordered him to teach Shang Xirui a lesson, he would not dare to change the play again if he was scared after suffering a hard time - the judges often couldn't sit still when changing plays for Shang Xirui's sake In the end, he just cursed and left, how much tea money was lost in the building!The boss himself wanted to beat him up. The current situation is called killing with a borrowed knife.Unexpectedly, Commander Cao's brother-in-law blocked the way, and the hero failed to save the beauty, and there was a big trouble.

The shopkeeper's commander escorted the crazy fans to the police station, and then personally apologized to Cheng Fengtai.Cheng Fengtai covered the corner of his mouth with a cold wet towel, and sneered at the shopkeeper: "It's out now? Where are you guys? You put your hands down to watch the fun while the business is open? What are you doing?"

The shopkeeper kept nodding his head and bowed his head to apologize.Chacha'er and Sheng Ziyun ran down upstairs.Chacha'er hugged her brother's neck from behind, her cheek against his hair.Cheng Fengtai patted her arm: "Relax, relax, second brother is strangling to death."

Sheng Ziyun looked at Cheng Fengtai, but Cheng Fengtai didn't look at him.He cared about Shang Xirui with peace of mind, raised his face to the stage and said: "Xirui, Xirui! Stop singing! Stop singing! Everyone is gone!"

The shopkeeper was dealing with Cheng Fengtai, while his ears were filled with huqin and opera, annoyed to death by Concubine Yang, he turned around and bowed to the stage: "Boss Shang, stop, the seats are all gone!"

Cheng Fengtai glared at him angrily: "Let's go everywhere! Isn't the second master a sitter? Sing! Don't forget to finish singing! Otherwise, this punch will be for nothing!" Pointing at them, "Sit down and listen to the show!"

Under Cheng Fengtai's despotic power, Sheng Ziyun, the shopkeeper and all the staff listened to a play in this empty, messy and weird atmosphere with restlessness.They were all very guilty tonight, some supported the opera behind their backs, some stood by and watched as they died, they secretly paid attention to Cheng Fengtai's face, they didn't know what to say.

The only person who is at ease is Shang Xirui.

Cheng Fengtai watched Shang Xirui sing and fight from below, still couldn't understand the opera, just looked at him.Just now he was in the mood to sing like a kiln, he sang with so much concentration, he didn't know who he was singing for, he acted like no one else was there.Cheng Fengtai seemed to appreciate his alluring demeanor when he ascended the heights and sang.

Shang Xirui, this is the rumored Shang Xirui.

Sure enough.

The play is over.Shang Xirui bowed his knees to the audience, which was a common courtesy for women in old days.Cheng Fengtai clapped his hands, imitating the rules of the theater, and shouted hello to him loudly.

Backstage, Shang Xirui took off his head but did not remove his makeup, holding the costume and sighing.I wore a lot of clothes when I was on stage, but just now, the person was not ironed, but the clothes were ruined.The color of the tea stain on the fabric cannot be washed off.Shang Xirui didn't understand what the fancier was getting excited about just now, he just added a few lines - and he thought it was a good addition, why did Zuoer get so angry.Shang Xirui really felt wronged.

Cheng Fengtai took off his blood-stained suit and put it in his arms, took his sister to the backstage, followed by Sheng Ziyun and the shopkeeper.Shang Xirui put down his costume when he saw him and stood up.

The shopkeeper raised his hand to give way to Cheng Fengtai, and said, "Boss Shang, this is Second Master Cheng." Because these two people are well-known characters in Beiping, it would be superfluous and disrespectful to introduce their full names.

Shang Xirui said in his heart that it was Cheng Meixin's younger brother Cheng Fengtai, I know, he nodded with a smile and called Cheng Second Master.His voice was vain and hoarse, hollow and soft, as if he was weak like a patient, and it was different from what he was on stage.

Cheng Fengtai is even more familiar with Shang Xirui in the gossip and gossip, his eyes wandered around his coat, he had the illusion of watching an ancient woman changing clothes, very taboo and attractive.I usually listen to too much gossip, but seeing Shang Xirui today, I am very interested in Shang Xirui.

"Boss Shang, you were shocked just now."

Shang Xirui smiled and said: "Thank you Second Master for saving me, I'm really sorry for causing Second Master to be injured."

Cheng Fengtai said: "The boss of the co-author has seen it? You are so indifferent, you are really determined."

Shang Xirui thought to himself that I didn't just see you fighting, I saw you when I was beating you to eat melon seeds, and I kept talking all night.Later, I asked the little girl to hit me with something—seeing that you saved me in the end, that’s all.Thinking of this, Shang Xirui's heart suddenly froze, he frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Cheng Fengtai.He has always sang opera with a kind of energy to defy all worlds and nothingness. He was able to not hear the guns and guns shaking the sky below the Pingyang City Tower.What's going on today?What can Cheng Meixin's younger brother have to see?

Shang Xirui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Ah... I am determined, this is what we have learned in this line of work."

Sheng Ziyun couldn't bear it anymore, regardless of Cheng Fengtai's "I have something to ask", he moved forward to touch Shang Xirui's face, stared at the corner of his eyebrows, and said anxiously: "Your face - it really turned blue."

Shang Xirui let him hold his chin, smiled and said: "The makeup hasn't been removed yet, how can you tell it's blue."

Cheng Fengtai said: "It's green. This... I'm really sorry." Pushing Cha Cha'er's back, Cha Cha'er stepped forward and said: "Sister, I'm sorry. I hurt you, I didn't mean it."

Shang Xirui seemed a little surprised when he received this apology, he didn't even bother to explain whether he was a brother or a sister, he hurriedly said: "Miss is too polite, how dare you take it. It should be Xirui thanking you for the reward, you flatter me."

Chacha'er looked at him, but didn't speak again.

The adults wentssip a little more politely, Cheng Fengtai said: "Boss Shang, after you take off your make-up, I'll give it to you, I have a ready-made car outside."

Shang Xirui said: "Thank you, Second Master. Don't bother. Unfortunately today, I'm busy making room and I have to pack a lot of things."

Cheng Fengtai asked in surprise: "Make space? You don't sing anymore?"

Shang Xirui said: "Sing. But not here."

The shopkeeper heard that the meaning was not right, and asked cautiously: "Boss Shang, what did you say, why are you leaving? How could we not be considerate?"

Shang Xirui looked at him and said slowly: "You are very thoughtful. I want to leave myself."

The shopkeeper knew that Shang Xirui had seen through tonight's borrowing a knife to kill and appease the murderer, Shang Xirui didn't say anything, it was to save face and friendship for both parties.After a few words of persuasion, he sent someone to buy some costumes and props for him, and said some words of loyalty on the scene.

Shang Xirui said: "You don't have to be polite, I'll only take what I deserve. But I want to ask you to ask someone to take it away, the old man who plays the huqin today, I like it very much."

The shopkeeper immediately said that as long as the old man agreed, the Huibin Building would be fine.

Shang Xirui turned to Cheng Fengtai and said with a smile: "Some background trifles made the second master laugh."

Cheng Fengtai smiled: "Since Boss Shang is busy, then Cheng will leave."

Shang Xirui nodded: "Hey, I won't keep you in this mess." After finishing speaking, he raised his voice and called out a few words, a girl with big braids in a blue flower dress ran up to the servant.

Shang Xirui said: "Pick one of my coats, if you prefer, wear it for the second master."

Cheng Fengtai declined and said that there is no need, there is a car outside and it is not cold.But the clothes came in a blink of an eye, Shang Xirui shook the clothes off by the collar, and helped him put them on.

"Second Master, don't dislike him."

Cheng Fengtai's heart skipped a beat, and that flirtatious and seductive look appeared in his eyes again.There are countless women who waited on him to dress him since he was a child, servants, lovers and flirts on the scene, today he was lucky enough to have Concubine Yang serve him once.After putting on his clothes, he turned around, and Shang Xirui straightened his neckline submissively again, like a little daughter-in-law in pajamas tidying her husband's outfit in the morning, gentle and careful, shy.He didn't even look at Cheng Fengtai, but Cheng Fengtai looked down at him.There are two long and narrow patches of rouge on the cheeks, the rouge is thick and powdery, the eyebrows and eyelashes are like ink, and a few pieces of shiny imitation gem glass are pasted on the temples.In fact, actors with makeup all look the same, Shang Xirui may not be more unique.Cheng Fengtai didn't know why he was looking at him, why he couldn't move his eyes away, he even felt that Shang Xirui might be trying to seduce him by serving him personally, there is such a method in Fengyuechang, pretending to touch him He turned over the wine and poured it on him, and then leaned close to his eyebrows to express affection.Although Shang Xirui doesn't look like it.Shang Xirui's eyebrows are dignified and open, without any hint of mischief.

Shang Xirui is indeed not.He was just grateful for Cheng Fengtai's chivalrous heart, felt sorry, and borrowed a piece of clothes for him to wear, nothing else.

After getting dressed, Cheng Fengtai took his sister to say goodbye, Sheng Ziyun was still caring by Shang Xirui's side.Cheng Fengtai walked out the door, turned his head and said: "Master Yun, let's go together."

Sheng Ziyun looked a little flustered, pulled Shang Xirui's hand and gave some instructions, then had to follow.

Sheng Ziyun got into the car and waited with bated breath for Cheng Fengtai to ask questions.Since getting acquainted with Shang Xirui, he has unknowingly spent a lot of money, sending flower baskets and putting them on the head, none of which Shang Xirui asked him to ask for, it was all voluntary.It seems that only by paying these can we get close to Shang Xirui as a matter of course.But where did a student get the money? Did he show his flaws when he reported the expenses to his family in Shanghai?

Sheng Ziyun waited all the way with his hands crossed, but Cheng Fengtai didn't speak, and pressed his fingers to his lips with a faint smile, not knowing what he was thinking.When they arrived at Cheng's mansion, Cheng Fengtai took his younger sister out of the car and ordered the driver to take Sheng Ziyun back to the school dormitory.Sheng Ziyun stretched out his head and withdrew his head, and couldn't bear it anymore, so he stuck his head out of the car window and asked, "Second brother, what do you want to ask me?"

Cheng Fengtai paused: "Ask you what? Hi... I forgot too. Let's talk about it later."

Cheng Fengtai returned home, first watched the nanny put Chacha'er to bed, and then had some snacks with the outer hall.Sneaking into the bedroom, Second Mistress hadn't fallen asleep yet, smoking a cigarette and staring coldly at the bruise at the corner of his mouth.A girl came up to undress Cheng Fengtai, Second Mistress looked at the overcoat in the blink of an eye, and slammed the cupronickel smoking pot on the spittoon, making a loud bang.He didn't say a word, and went to pack the shredded tobacco again.

Cheng Fengtai touched the corner of his mouth, sent the girl away to kick off her leather shoes and climb up to the kang to snatch her cigarette pouch, said with a smile: "Second Mistress is pregnant with a little girl, don't smoke anymore."

I thought I could tease her with a few words, but the second grandma gave her a cold look, and didn't fight him, turned over and fell asleep.

Cheng Fengtai thought about it, and immediately knew that it was what happened to her tonight, so he threw himself on his daughter-in-law with a shy face and fiddled with her in every possible way, so annoying.Second Mistress finally couldn't stand the harassment, so she lifted the quilt and sat up, said with a cold face: "Second Master, who has been a hero all night, still has the spirit?"

Cheng Fengtai said with a smile: "I've only been a 'one night' hero here with you. How can there be any other places!"

The second mistress sneered: "Stop talking bastards! I didn't know that the second master would still fight! What is Shang Xirui's role? Do you think he has never seen a man who fights for him? He has seen a lot! You are jumping up and down! If someone is not for your name, Cheng Erye, he will not even look at you if you use your brains! You have been booed by fanciers and use you to stand in for him?! Meddle in your own business!"

When Cheng Fengtai was scolded by her, his head became cold, and he also felt that he was meddling.But so what?He has such a heroic temperament, who can say anything!When she was about to look sullen, Second Mistress changed the subject first: "I'm not qualified to control you! What am I? Back then, I crossed half of China and came here to be your daughter-in-law with the dowry. You It was because I was desperate that I wanted me. I am an ignorant country girl. In terms of talent and appearance, I am not worthy of your second master Cheng!"

When Cheng Fengtai heard this old story, he softened his anger, smiled and coaxed Second Mistress to tuck her into the quilt.When the second grandma mentioned sad things, her eye circles and nose were a little red, her temper was gone, she was very pitiful.

Cheng Fengtai said: "Why do you have to mention this when something goes wrong? Don't mention these things again. It is my fortune to marry you, Cheng Fengtai, and I will always remember your kindness. Tonight's matter - don't mention it, it's me Impulsive. Don't listen to their nonsense, there is no real fight."

At this point, there is nothing more to say.Second Grandma Cheng secretly shed a tear, she didn't know whether it was because of Cheng Fengtai's tenderness or the accumulated resentment.The husband and wife lay down for a while, she moved her body, put her head on her husband's arm, and said softly, "Chacha'er is almost 13 years old, she is a big girl, don't take her out to show her face in the future."

Cheng Fengtai nodded in agreement.
