Winter Begonia

Reporter Huang had a very good life recently, relying on Shang Xirui's few exclusive articles to earn a large page, and won many awards from the editor-in-chief, he immediately replaced all his clothes and shoes with brand new ones, even dared to smoke Camel when he smoked. With a cigarette in his mouth, Er was developing the rest of the photos that day in the darkroom, preparing to send Shang Xirui a condom.Digging out the single photos of Shang Xirui that were published in the newspaper, there were more than a dozen photos of Shang Xirui and Cheng Fengtai together, reporter Huang picked and picked, and found this one: Cheng Fengtai with one arm bent, leaning on the On the plum tree, Shang Xirui stood in front of him, covering Cheng Fengtai's little half, with one arm bent behind his back.Cheng Fengtai had a casual smile, his usual unrestrained style, but Shang Xirui pursed his lips, smiling brightly, as if he had stolen a piece of candy in his mouth, opening his mouth for fear of falling out, keeping his mouth shut The mouth can't hide the sweetness, just like that, it's full of joy.

The two are equally handsome, but each has its own romantic attitude that jumps out of the paper.If it is a combination of a man and a woman, people will definitely be able to praise the beauty of a man and a woman, a pair of people.Reporter Huang didn't think there was anything special when he took the photo. Holding the photo at this time, he couldn't help but stare at it. He didn't know whether it was because his shooting skills had improved a lot, or this pair was especially handsome and photogenic. Scattered, just like the meaning of watercolor painting!I thought that when Shang Xirui got the photo later, he would definitely praise him too!Immediately developed two more copies of this one.

A colleague quietly entered the darkroom, and leaned over from behind Reporter Huang's shoulder: "Yo ho! Whose photo is this?"

Reporter Huang immediately put the photo in an envelope, said angrily, "You can control it!", and left.The colleague touched his nose, cursed angrily and flipped through it. A roll of film was caught on the rope. He tore it off and took a look, and let out a long "hey" in surprise.

Reporter Huang came to the backstage of Shuiyun Building today, but it was not a coincidence.In the past two days, because the newspapers have criticized Shang Xirui, many colleagues in the theater spontaneously met to express their solidarity and support to Shang Xirui, and it happened that Wang Leng came to find Shang Xirui to play against each other, Cheng Fengtai and Du Qi were also there, Several parties couldn't stand in the background.Reporter Huang was very knowledgeable, chatted with all the actors, took photos and left, winking before leaving, as if there was a big treasure in the envelope.Shang Xirui couldn't help but pull out the photos behind everyone's back to look through them, seeing the group photo next to the plum tree, he also found the eyebrows touching and poetic, he looked up at Cheng Fengtai, Cheng Fengtai blinked at him, and gave him back the one on the photo With a completely different playful smile, he held up the photo and stared at it seriously for a while, wondering which one was more like his second master, the second master in the photo or the second master in front of him.Sitting next to Shang Xirui, Wang Leng couldn't help but look at him curiously, by the way he saw this group photo that Shang Xirui couldn't put it down.In the photo, the two are clearly standing one behind the other, but Wang Leng felt that the hand behind Shang Xirui's back was holding Cheng Fengtai's - that's what they looked like.

Several theater colleagues talked generously and expressed their sincerity to Shang Xirui, telling him not to take what the newspaper said seriously, they all loved his plays, loved his people, and pushed him to be the leader of the new generation , coaxing Shang Xirui into a good mood.The old people from Shuiyun Tower like Yuan Lan were listening, but their attitudes were embarrassing and disapproving, and they didn't get excited at all.Only Du Qi is an idiot, who sprang up when the wind blows, slapped the table and scolded a few suspects who spoke ill of Shang Xirui, saying that they were thieves because they were old and not dead, and scolded all the actors who dared not scold exhausted.Everyone listened with nods and smiles, as if they agreed very much.After waiting for a while, and after sending all the colleagues away, Yuan Lan nodded jokingly with a smile and said, "Seventh Young Master has eight thousand catties of loyalty and eight thousand catties of righteousness, and today I will take all of it out of my head. It crushed our class leader to death!"

Du Qi didn't understand the meaning, so he raised his eyebrows: "Master Qi is loyal and righteous, why did you crush Brother Rui to death?"

Here, Nineteen can be called Yuan Lan's bosom friend, and answered for her: "Mother Xu scolded Cao in the backstage of Shuiyun Tower, and if word spread, no one would dare to settle the blame for your Seventh Young Master, but only for us. Head of the class leader. Tell me, did our class leader bear the weight of [-] catties for you?"

Don't say that Du Qi is dismissive of this, even Shang Xirui himself doesn't take it seriously, their young and vigorous men never said that they were afraid of people's tongue, let alone Du Qi for Shang Xirui Head out!To blame Du Qi's reckless words, it would be too ungrateful!

Shang Xirui sneered: "So what, the Seventh Young Master is not wrong, I think so too."

Cheng Fengtai frowned, and Yuan Lan shook his head with a wry smile.

Du Qi strikes up a conversation with Wang Leng enthusiastically, listens to her sing a play beautifully, and then returns home swaggeringly.Wang Leng was also used to many people in the theater circle in his hometown, and he knew that no matter what kind of circle was in it, it was essentially a circle of right and wrong. He was new here at this time, and he never made any comments. People laughed and made friends.Usually Cheng Fengtai's words and deeds are a little frivolous, Shang Xirui would stare, but for him, when he meets a good actor, he kisses his sister and hot sister without any shyness.Qiandan's voice is generally high, and when encountering Qiansheng, he has to lower his pitch to match. With Kunsheng, there is no such concern, and he can completely let go of his voice to sing.Shang Xirui held Wang Leng's hand, shook it, and exclaimed: "It's comfortable! It's comfortable with you!" He didn't think he was careless when he spoke, but the others pursed their lips and smiled, and Wang Leng couldn't answer, so he had to Smile back.At night, Shang Xirui had to take the girl's house out to cook Manchurian hot pot, but was finally persuaded by Cheng Fengtai, and said with a smile: "Why did you promise Master Niu to come? We agreed to take Miss Wang home before dinner. So he asked Lao Ge to drive Wang Leng, turned his head to see that there was no one around, raised his leg and pushed Shang Xirui's butt with a knee, and said: "This is a lady official, once a ticket comes out, don't be too excited." It’s hot! It’s still comfortable! Be careful that the Wang family will interrupt your dog legs!”

Shang Xirui knew that this reminder made sense, but he still covered his butt and clenched his fists, and beat him back resolutely.Cheng Fengtai punched him, and saw that he then pulled out an envelope from his arms and patted Cheng Fengtai's chest.Cheng Fengtai took a look at it, praised it and laughed, picked out the group photo under the plum tree, and said: "It happens to be in duplicate, give me this one, I'll keep it in mind."

Shang Xirui nodded, suddenly remembered something, turned over the photo in Cheng Fengtai's hand, and wrote a note on it.Cheng Fengtai knew about Shang Xirui's poor writing, and immediately felt that a good photo had been ruined, and his heart ached, and it was too late to stop it.

The more people who can't write, the more nervous they are holding the pen.Shang Xirui pinched the pen firmly, his fingertips turned white, and tremblingly wrote four big characters: A hundred years of love.It's a title.The other end wrote: Shanglang and his wife were photographed under the white plum tree in the house.

Cheng Fengtai looked at the words, he couldn't get angry, couldn't laugh, he knew he had endless strange tricks!Grabbed the back of Shang Xirui's neck and shook it, as if determined to strangle him to death.Shang Xirui yelled, but unafraid, he captioned his own picture in the same way.

Cheng Fengtai said: "Why don't I even have a name?"

Shang Xirui said: "It has a name!" He tapped the word "husband and wife" with the tip of his pen: "This is you!"

Cheng Fengtai was very angry, and also laughed: "You are a machismo, you have to cover me in everything, admit it or not?" You are right, Shang Xirui wants to show his manhood everywhere, if he married a Women, there will probably be feminists who will uphold the personality of his wife, and Cheng Fengtai is also a man, so he can only let him bully him. After reading and rereading those few lines, he became angry and laughed more slowly. , felt something was wrong, and called Shang Xirui: "Boss Shang, wait a moment, what color is the plum tree in your yard blooming?"

Shang Xirui didn't even think about it: "White!" Cheng Fengtai could remember that it was red without having to think about it, but seeing him categorically pointing a deer as a horse, he couldn't help suspecting that he was colorblind.After hesitating for a while, he asked Shang Xirui again: "Is it red? Ask Xiaolai if you don't believe me!" Shang Xirui raised his fist impatiently: "What nonsense! Ask her what she is doing! I say white is white, I've lived here for so many years, can I remember correctly?" Cheng Fengtai thought he might be wronged to be punched because of a plum tree, so he had to shut up, and sat next to Shang Xirui to make a fuss before leaving.

On the day of Hou Yukui's birthday, although it was a memorial for the cast members, because of Hou Yukui's fame, this excerpt that gathered a group of heroes was still a box office ticket sale.Niu Baiwen brought Wang Leng here early, Wang Leng has no acquaintances here, Niu Baiwen then wanted to meet other matters, so he entrusted her to Shang Xirui's care.Shang Xirui sang "Wujiapo" and "Sitting Palace" with her today, it's appropriate to get close, after greeting everyone, Shan and Wang Leng face each other to dress up, talk and laugh.Shang Xirui's dressing up is a process of stealing the dragon and turning into a phoenix, gradually changing from a handsome young man to a juicy and delicate girl, very endearing.Looking at him, Wang Leng thought of his little boyfriend far away in his hometown, who was also a high-ranking official, so he couldn't help being moved, and teased him, "Good sister!"

Shang Xirui was taken aback, seeing that Wang Leng had finished dressing, wearing thick-soled soap boots, wearing a jet-black beard, two sword eyebrows, and a pair of star eyes, blurted out: "Hey! Good brother!" The two came back to their senses Come on, laugh innocently and make a ball, all those who care about you will see it in their eyes.The little apprentice of the Hou family suddenly panicked and ran backstage, saying: "Senior brother, go to the stage and have a look, it seems that there is a hole in the old curtain!"

Everyone ran up to the stage in surprise.What is hanging today is the pine and cypress painting on a yellow background that Hou Yukui used to use back then. When it was first hung up, it was still dark, but now that the lights on the stage are turned on, a black hole the size of a chestnut is clearly mothed out on the end of the pine tree. , falling on the bright yellow background is particularly conspicuous.Shang Xirui looked up, his heart ached - it was a gift from the emperor!What a rare relic!Unable to hold back his temper, he said angrily, "What's going on! Who cares about the suitcase!"

The senior brothers silently turned their heads to look at the senior brother.Hou Yukui's eldest apprentice suddenly had an unpleasant look on his face, and he gave Shang Xirui a glare.Today, Shang Xirui didn't act with him, obviously out of contempt, not only that, he even brought a little girl to replace him, making people feel ashamed.Now it's even more embarrassing. Before the members of the Hou family could speak, he actually started yelling!

Shang Xirui still held his head up and gasped in pain, Master Hou remained silent with a livid face.Niu Baiwen knew that Hou Yukui's apprentices had only a little affection for their master, at this moment no one would stand up and say something to offend senior brother, no more stupid than Shang Xirui, smoothed things off with a smile, and said: "Silk is really not good. It’s easy to keep, this piece of curtain has been used for more than half of my life from the Qing Dynasty to the present! It’s the same thing when people go to the curtain.... In this way, whichever boss is nearby can borrow a piece of curtain when the garden is not open. , let's hang up quickly!"

These words were originally addressed to Hou Yukui's close disciples, but the disciples of the Hou family all worked in a troupe and sang operas and lived under the fence of others, so they couldn't talk about their own conservativeness.The eldest apprentice harbored malicious intentions and said, "We are not close, but Boss Shang is the closest."

Putting his eccentric tone aside, the only one that is close right now is Shang Xirui's Shuiyun Tower.Shang Xirui didn't look at Niu Baiwen's eyes, didn't think about the big apprentice's intentions, the consequences of changing old ways, turned around and shouted at the box: "Second master!"

Cheng Fengtai used to watch Shang Xirui's partner with the girl quite often, but today he was coerced to come here, and he closed his eyes and took a nap there.Hearing Shang Xirui yelling loudly, he leaned out half of his body to see what was going on, and saw all the actors on the stage looking up at him, he nodded to them inexplicably, and smiled, like a military parade.Shang Xirui exposed his second master in public, knew he was embarrassed, lifted the corner of his skirt and ran into the box, whispered a few words to Cheng Fengtai, Cheng Fengtai immediately got up and went to Shuiyun Tower for him to do errands.

The matter has come to this point, Niu Baiwen is hesitant to say anything, and has nothing to say, judging by Shang Xirui's temper, if he wants to talk about worries now, he will definitely become a petty provocateur.Cheng Fengtai traveled by car, and he came back for a business trip in less than half a minute, and brought back a well-folded piece, a large crabapple flower in the middle of the white background, clean and dignified, very different from others.Master Hou hung up the curtain with a sneer, as if he had succeeded in a trick.Sure enough, as soon as the fans were seated, they went crazy when they saw this Shang Xirui's old-fashioned piece, and no matter what day it was or who was standing on the stage, they kept calling Shang Lang from below, until Shang Xirui was so stupid The other people also sensed something was wrong, and stared at Niu Baiwen dumbfounded.Niu Baiwen was also angry, thinking he wouldn't have discussed it with me long ago, now that he knows he's been duped, what's the use of watching me?The other characters were even more angry, they had agreed to hold a birthday party for Hou Yukui, looking at the current movement, how did it become Shang Xirui's sedan chair as a foil?Hou Yukui's apprentices were not in a hurry or moved under the instructions of the senior brother, they blinked and frowned and laughed at each other to watch the excitement.Niu Baiwen finally sighed, and went to the stage to comfort the audience.

This scene was sung very smoothly, there was no lack of effort, and no mistakes.All the famous jokes from Hou Yukui's prime were sung on stage, but the audience fell in love with it, but it was Shang Xirui!This time, putting the cart before the horse and returning the pearl, I don't know how Hou Yukui will feel if he knows it underground.In fact, based on Hou Yukui's love for Shang Xirui, and being an old opera ancestor who has been famous all his life, he may not bet on this idleness with his nephews and juniors, it's too cheap!It's really deadly angry, the living people don't agree, the next day the newspapers scolded and scolded, to the effect that Shang Xirui insisted on his reputation, he was defiant, he temporarily replaced old-fashioned, even Mr. Hou Dare to steal the limelight!What a joker!If this goes on like this, the Pear Garden Tour in Beiping will soon have the Shang surname!People in the know know that this is not the case, but they have nowhere to say it, and nobody pays any attention to it. Newspapers are always intended to attract people's attention, not to argue. Scolding Shang Xirui is always more attractive than praising Shang Xirui , people always prefer to watch celebrities suffer.

Cheng Fengtai, as an insider and participant, couldn't help feeling wronged and angry about Shang Xirui's framing.At one moment he had to teach the Hou family disciples a lesson, at another moment he had to find trouble with the newspaper office, after much deliberation, he couldn't implement it in the end - this would only add more trouble to Shang Xirui.

Shang Xirui himself was also troubled.From time to time, someone smears him, but it is always black once in a while, and there is a rhythm and regularity.Why are people rushing to celebrate the new year at the end of the year, and they are still reluctant.Yuan Lan Nineteen joked that it was the New Year's Eve, and it would be fine for the opponents to receive the New Year's money.Shang Xirui himself didn't even have the energy to jump up and scold others, he just muttered behind his back, causing Cheng Fengtai to suffer a little, thinking of getting angry, he pressed Cheng Fengtai and beat him, howling: "I sing too much If you lose Liu Yuexue, you'll really become Dou E! I'm so mad!" No matter how accustomed he is to talking and talking, he is only a young man after all, and he can't have any deeper self-restraint.Cheng Fengtai was also very considerate of him, tried his best not to fight back when hit or scolded, and if he was in a hurry, he would apologize with a few good words and leave.Being run over by Shang Xirui once, he asked Fan Lian to calm down and talk about it, saying that their singing hearts are not much cleaner than opium dealers, singing about old men, making this kind of dirty tricks of old women, whoever wants to get it Can you drop the talk?Fan Lian smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Have you ever heard an old saying: the more muscles in a sack, the more heart an actor has. They sing operas with more subtle thoughts than ordinary people. Besides, they compete for fame and fortune." Where is the place, which line of business is not the same dirty?"

This round of criticism of Shang Xirui's virtues was going to last until the end of the year, when the limelight suddenly changed halfway through, Wang Leng was incidentally involved, and Shang Xirui's affair with her was reported.Wang Leng's family didn't know anything about it yet. Although Wang Leng's little boyfriend was far away in the sky, he was also a member of the theater industry. The wind was blowing in his ears, and he had a good fight.Cheng Fengtai, Shang Xirui's virtuous husband and wife, heard this gossip, knowing that Shang Xirui was wronged, and also found fault with jealousy, pushed Shang Xirui down on the bed and repaired it, blaming Shang Xirui for not listening to him and not being with Wang Leng Stay away.Shang Xirui kicked his legs on all fours, howling: "There are too many people gossiping with me! Yu Qing also gossiped with me in the past! Du Qi also gossiped with me!"

Cheng Fengtai sweated profusely, turned Shang Xirui over, and slapped his ass: "So I regret that I didn't take care of you earlier! I wish I had taken care of you earlier!"

Shang Xirui shouted: "If you have the ability, go to the newspaper!"

Cheng Fengtai held his waist and slowly sank in: "Don't provoke me, provoke me and I'll go!" After all, these words were just words, but Shang Xirui took it seriously.
