Winter Begonia

Along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, it's New Year's Eve, other businesses are closed and boxes are closed, only this area is bustling, and it's a little busier than usual.To the south of Yanqiao, there is an attic, dimly lit, the river water reflects the red light of the lantern, and then reflects the red light into the house, you can see the glass water in the house glistening, and there are people on the river outside. Singing Pingtan, the voice swayed with the water, and it was very suitable to find a quiet place amidst the noise.

Shang Xirui and Li Tianyao lay side by side on the Luohan bed.Shang Xirui stared at the shining water for a long time, his body seemed to be floating gently in a small boat, but this small boat couldn't carry many worries.From Beiping to Nanjing, he was very depressed all the way, he thought that going out and eating and drinking would refresh his mind, but in fact he might as well stay by Cheng Fengtai's side and listen to him chatter away.No one needs to criticize, Shang Xirui also knows that he is extremely naive, every time he encounters a real setback, he always has to be depressed for a long time before he can let it go, he is too anxious.But Du Qi said that this is the characteristic of a top artist, sensitive, fragile, and vulnerable, with a heart made of crystal in his belly, although it is radiant, it will be broken if it falls.Du Qi gave him several examples from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, including those who committed suicide, went crazy, and cut off their ears.Hearing Shang Xirui touch his ears, he panicked.In the Liyuan Tour, the top actors often did not end well.All geniuses in this world go to the same goal by different routes.Shang Xirui firmly believes that he is a genius.

Shang Xirui is in a daze and unhappy.Li Tianyao coaxed Shang Xirui by coaxing Shang Xirui by talking and singing like a cross talk talker, it was still a stand-up comic, and he was tired of coaxing, now it's time to take a break, over there, holding Sister Yao's hand, pestering: " Good sister, give me a cigarette."

Sister Yao said with a smile: "If you want to smoke, go to the smokehouse, we don't have it here."

Li Tianyao begged for mercy and pressed Yaojie to squeak her. Yaojie couldn't hold her back anymore. She opened the lock from a dark box, took out the eighteen weapons used for smoking opium, and skillfully burned them for Li Tianyao.Li Tianyao got rid of her addiction, regained her senses, regrouped to tease Shang Xirui, gave Sister Yao a wink, and passed the bong.Sister Yao immediately cuddled up to Shang Xirui softly and bonelessly, and put the cigarette holder into Shang Xirui's mouth.Shang Xirui was in a daze, suddenly a mallet popped into his mouth, making him jump.

Li Tianyao said with a smile: "This thing is better than wine to relieve boredom. You try it, take a couple of sips, and you will be sure to forget about any troubles and become a god immediately."

Sister Yao half-stretched her body and entangled herself in it, twisting her waist and making a fuss, Shang Xirui had to take a sip, and with Li Tianyao graciously coaxing beside her, Shang Xirui lay in a daze, and was so bored, he actually sucked it with his mouth One puff of the cigarette, one puff after another.Li Tianyao broke the precepts of Shanglang, and she looked at Sister Yao with a smile, with the mischievous joy of attracting people into the gang.However, Shang Xirui smoked half a pipe of opium, spread his hands, and threw the bong to Li Tianyao: "I don't feel it, I'm choking to death!" Turning around, he found Sister Yao's hand resting on his crotch and rubbing it slowly, then Disgusted, pinched Sister Yao's hand with two fingers, carried her away, and lay there to continue to feel bored alone.

Li Tianyao shook her head and sighed: "I know why you are so overwhelmed. Tell me about you. You don't like smoking, gambling, or whoring. Whatever you love, you just like to sing a show. Something went wrong in the play. , isn’t it just the sky falling?” As he said, he hugged Sister Yao and kissed her mouth, and said, “People, you should be more distracted and love everything. If one of them collapses, there are others pointing live."

Shang Xirui listened and shook his head: "I've tried eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and I can't love anything else." Saying this, Cheng Fengtai's shadow flashed in his mind, but of course he wouldn't say it, thinking Liao wanted to say: "Oh, I really like to eat."

Li Tianyao jumped up like a carp: "If you like it, it's easy!" He said that he put on his clothes and took Shang Xirui to eat delicious food, Shang Xirui always felt very excited when he heard about eating.I also thought that in order to maintain their voices, most of the actors prefer Huaiyang cuisine, which is too delicate and lacking in taste. In this southern region, they must eat southern cuisine.Shang Xirui is a man from Shandong who eats meat, he is not used to those delicately prepared fish, shrimps and vegetables, he couldn't help complaining: "There is nothing to eat here." Li Tianyao walked around and said: "Let's go to the painting boat to eat barbecue Mutton, do you like mutton? The boat is ventilated on all sides to save it from being smoky, and there are still lights to look at—you wear more, the river will be cold at night!" Li Tianyao told the old bustard what to eat , and descend hand in hand with Shang Xirui.In order to make it easier for girls and guests to board the boat and avoid wind and rain, an indoor pier called Water Gate is specially built with blue bricks under the Xianglou. The side of the boat is one step away from the water gate, which is also very unique.Li Tianyao suddenly said: "Boss Shang, wait for me for a moment, I'll go and call your senior sister." Li Tianyao went, Shang Xirui stood at the water gate, like a small prison cell.Because the walls are empty, it is especially able to listen to the sound. When I heard Li Tianyao on the phone, he said arrogantly: "You just stay at home to nurse and take care of the child, and don't ask where the man is going! ... Hey! Drop the child? The child is just me Raised by others? Don’t you have a share? You don’t feel bad for you to fall, and you fell all the big ones! It’s not easy for you to be pregnant for ten months, isn’t it easy for me?...I’m beautiful! Junior brother together! Who else is there? Shang Xirui!...What am I going to sleep with him! I brought him to sleep with a woman! Shopping in a brothel!...Believe it or not!" At this point, Li Tianyao fell silent, probably The other end of the phone scolded badly, he had no power to reply, so he could only shout: "Boss Shang! Boss Shang! Come and say something to your senior sister!" Shang Xirui ran upstairs awkwardly and yelled into the receiver Calling Sister Cui, before she could say anything else, Li Tianyao scolded into the phone: "Stop fucking talking nonsense! I regret today, I shouldn't have fought with me so early in the morning! Put your child in your arms and think about it!" After putting down the phone, the expression on his face was very cheerful, and his appetite was particularly good when eating. He ate half a catty of lamb and drank half a catty of winter wine by himself.

The story of Li Tianyao and Shang Xirui, the senior sister Cui, is very strange to ordinary people.The two insisted on getting married regardless of the opposition of the old class leader Shang, and after the marriage, Senior Sister Cui closed the show. Those who didn't know it always thought that they were a loving husband and wife with a harmonious relationship.In fact, it is not the same thing at all.From the first time Li Tianyao met Senior Sister Cui, the two had disagreements and clashed from time to time.Senior Sister Cui also sang with raw characters, they competed for the limelight on the stage, but after all, the Peking Opera stage was dominated by men, Senior Sister Cui was competitive and did not give in to men, so Li Tianyao used the difference between men and women to belittle and humiliate Senior Sister Cui.When it comes to the audience, they are even more reluctant to give in to each other.The two were jealous, and they snatched the woman from the man. Li Tianyao seduced Senior Sister Cui's beloved girl. Senior Sister Cui once threw herself on the bed of a rich man and broke Li Tianyao's nose bone.This is of course something that has been heard, Shang Xirui was too young at that time to understand this, and family ugliness should not be publicized, and Shang Juzhen did not allow anyone to discuss it.Later, it was true that Senior Sister Cui and Li Tianyao lost the bet, Shang Xirui saw that Senior Sister Cui had tears in her eyes, and swore in public that she would never sing again.But Li Tianyao said that you swore an oath on your lips, you couldn't bear it and you sang it when I left. You will either be my girl or my wife. I have to look at you to be at ease.Senior sister Cui immediately put away her tears, pointed to Li Tianyao's nose and said that my aunt will marry you now, if you don't marry you, you will be a bastard, and my aunt will not kill you.

The children of the Liyuan are full of wonderful ambitions. This kind of unimaginable plot has not been sung in the Liyuan for a long time. It is said that Senior Sister Cui is too tempered, and Boss Li likes to mess around, so there is nothing to say. Just ridiculous.Shang Xirui has a vague impression of Senior Sister Cui, just because she is one of the few actresses who does not become a rich man's concubine.Li Tianyao didn't stop eating big meat, proudly told Shang Xirui how he punished Senior Sister Cui at home, making her have children one after another, unable to go anywhere, unable to do anything.Shang Xirui didn't have any idea about this kind of parent's short-sightedness, he groaned and ate his meat.But Sister Yao is very supportive of this kind of topic.They lost the chance to be upright wives, so they also hoped that other wives would go the same way as them, but they also had no good results, so they urged Li Tianyao to say more.Li Tianyao drank too much and talked too much, gradually shaking his prestige, Shang Xirui didn't like to talk to him anymore, the Yao sister who was neglected by him came in handy at this time, sitting next to her with a pair of fire chopsticks, Toss the meat piece by piece for Shang Xirui.Just when the group of dogs and men were having a good time, there was a loud bang at the door, someone stepped on the boat and sank, the cold wind came in and blew out the two red candles.It's like a chivalrous appearance in the Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses.The woman was holding a baby in her arms, and her figure was very sturdy. If she cut her hair and took off her skirt, she would look no different from a man.She entered the door without saying a word, rushed to Li Tianyao and gave Li Tianyao a slap in the face.Li Tianyao was beaten into a daze, and when he looked at it in a daze, he was furious: "You stinky bitch! You're out of order!" He rolled up his sleeves and before he could beat him back, the woman suddenly scolded: "Look, can I dare you?" Dare?!" As he said, he took the baby out of the window and hung it in the air on the river!The quilt that wrapped the child fell into the water. The child was blown by the cold wind, stretched his arms and legs and cried miserably. He struggled so hard that people worried that the woman would not be able to hold him in a while.

Shang Xirui had a piece of meat in his mouth, he was chewing and looking at it, he was also shocked when he saw this.Not to mention Li Tianyao.Li Tianyao's knees softened, and she knelt on the ground, her face so pale that she couldn't speak.The woman won the battle, and kicked Li Tianyao's leather shoes off the ground at him, and ordered: "Put it on!" Li Tianyao put on the shoes with his legs upturned.The woman then raised her chin: "Go ahead! Go home!" Like a prisoner under escort, Li Tianyao walked ahead without saying a word, not daring to greet Shang Xirui anymore, because he didn't have such a face.The woman gave him a stern look, then quickly took off her fur waistcoat to cover the crying child, but turned to Shang Xirui with a pleasant face: "I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the little boy has grown so big." Yes. You stay in Nanjing for a few more days, huh? Come over for dinner during the Chinese New Year."

Shang Xirui just bowed and called her Senior Sister Cui, thinking to himself, I dare not go to your house for dinner if you beat children like this.

Li Tianyao went to Loukong, Shang Xirui couldn't stay in the kiln for a moment, so he went to the hotel to rest without mentioning it.He came to Nanjing this time to avoid the limelight and relax, so he didn't tell anyone, and the itinerary was very secret and low-key.But what Li Tianyao made was so funny that it spread all over the Nanjing Liyuan circle within two days. When asked about the scene at that time, there was naturally a business owner.Boss Shang came from afar, how could he be so unknown?A day later, a car stopped at the door of the hotel to pick him up, it was someone sent by Master Jin, Shang Xirui didn't dare to be stubborn, but he was tired, Master Jin is hypocritical and petty, knowing that he would leave without telling Come on, I don't know how it will happen for a while.

Sure enough, in Master Jin's house, a small courtyard with ponds and pavilions, Master Jin didn't show up and left Shang Xirui out for a long time.The other masters were more or less wooing when they saw their apprentices becoming popular, not to mention that Master Jin was not Shang Xirui's direct master.This kind of half-recognized master Shang Xirui has at least as many as one hand, which shows that Master Jin is indeed temperamental.Shang Xirui's irritable temper made him wander around the room impatiently after drinking two cups of tea.The door opened suddenly, and Master Jin invited him.

Master Jin put on a big air, left Shang Xirui to wait, he took a nap by himself in the bedroom, now he was wearing his clothes and sipping ginseng tea without lifting his eyelids.Shang Xirui stood in the room and called Master Jin, as if he was still an apprentice under him.

Master Jin still lowered his eyes, and said coldly: "Boss Shang, please don't, I dare not be your master anymore."

Shang Xirui stood there silently, neither acting coquettishly nor begging for mercy, watching Master Jin get dressed and washed, sat in front of the mirror to paint his eyebrows and put on powder.Many of the male dans of their generation were like this, they also wore makeup, sachets, and brightly colored satin gowns in their daily life.Master Jin glanced at the powder box, then at Shang Xirui, and thought he was a fool.Shang Xirui was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to put on makeup for Master Jin.Master Jin asked him: "I heard that you were wronged in Beiping. Why, you hide from others after being wronged? It's so useless, don't say you learned opera from me in the future!"

Shang Xirui pursed his lips and did not answer.It's true that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. In just a few days, things have spread across mountains and seas to Nanjing.Shang Xirui felt extremely ashamed, like a sore on his heart, he didn't want to be seen at all.

Master Jin's face was covered with powder, and he picked up a pen to draw his eyebrows in the mirror, and said, "Isn't he just an old ginger! I can embarrass you like this! If I was there that day, I would scold him so much that he didn't even dare to fart. Do you believe it or not? When your father was still alive in the past, he was your father's foil wherever he went, and I think it's years of resentment and intentional revenge on you."

Shang Xirui lowered his head and picked up one of Master Jin's enamel pocket watches, oh, and said: "So what can we do, he is Master Uncle."

Master Jin put down the eyebrow pencil heavily, turned his head and said to Shang Xirui angrily: "To put it bluntly, how many weights does Old Jiang's head weigh? How can the reputation of that old bone compare to yours to this day? The bad thing is that he is your master uncle, if it spreads out, you are the one who has been reprimanded by the master, and the name is not right, that's not good!" Shang Xirui was hurt by the words, and his expression changed slightly Bian: "Anyway, I've learned a lot in opera, and there are many schools! Don't care about this one!" Master Jin said angrily: "Fart! That's your business's direct family! It's the root of your life! Can you get along with others? Is it the same?" Shang Xirui also knew the truth in his heart, he just refused to accept it.

Master Jin looked at his own reflection in the mirror. He was over half a century old, his hair was turning white, his face was wrinkled, and he was dressed in red and willow green, which inevitably looked a little weird.But in his own eyes, he is still the ingenious and arrogant Jinbo'er back then, a character who can be on an equal footing with Ning Jiulang!

Master Jin looked at him obsessively, and suddenly asked, "What did Boss Ning say about this?"

Shang Xirui said: "Jiulang called me and wrote me a letter, telling me to just sing the opera with peace of mind and not to worry about the rest. After a long time, right and wrong will be judged for themselves."

Master Jin sneered and said: "It's really sarcastic! If Ning Jiulang had encountered such a thing back then, he would have the ability to go to the emperor to ask for an explanation! After retiring for a few years, he has become a master of the world. Thanks to you Jiulang, respect him as your own master." If Ning Jiulang took care of Shang Xirui's affairs, Master Jin wouldn't bother to intervene.Ning Jiulang can't take care of Shang Xirui's affairs, Master Jin has to take care of it.Besides, Shang Xirui is his apprentice after all, he has put in a lot of effort to rectify it, and now he is so promising, he is a famous person, he has added a lot of charm, how can he make others blind .Master Jin met Shang Xirui face to face, and said: "Come on, poor boy, you can't count on anyone else but me. Who told me to be an old date with your father? Send someone to pack your luggage here , you live with me, watch me decorate for you!" After that, he playfully tapped Shang Xirui's nose with his fingertips, bringing a scent.Shang Xirui touched his nose.Master Jin's demeanor and voice are very much like a dexterous girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, Shang Xirui can't keep up with his train of thought.Shang Xirui can only be a girl on stage.

Master Jin invited old friends from the theater and cultural circles to eat hot pot that night, with Shang Xirui as the protagonist, and everyone talked and laughed and praised each other.Shang Xirui was not good at these entertainment skills, but now he does it with a forced smile.After dinner, it will be eleven o'clock at night, and he urged Shang Xirui to change into costumes and sing Kunqu opera in the pavilion, a few prominent figures booed and waited on him to change clothes, treating him like a prince, at all There is no way to shirk it.Shang Xirui was annoyed, but tonight's flute was excellent, after opening his throat, he immediately abandoned the world of mortals and immersed himself in the play wholeheartedly.Master Jin leaned into people's ears with a smile and whispered, looking at Shang Xirui restlessly.The small pond behind him is like a big piece of ice slowly melting in the cold night, when the breeze blows, the small pavilion is terribly cold, the guests carry hand warmers one by one, Shang Xirui's cheeks are frozen It was all dead, and he sneezed loudly while singing, startling the flute out of tune.Everyone laughed and said: "It's a sin! It's freezing Shang Lang!" Before Shang Xirui changed his costume, Yaxing, the most prestigious cultural figure among the guests, held onto Shang Xirui's skirt The horns splashed ink on the water jacket and wrote two lines of poetry.If it were a knowledgeable person who could get a famous calligraphy, he would be overjoyed.But Shang Xirui is illiterate, so don't mention how distressed he is when he sees ink spots on the costumes.After writing the poem, the celebrity held Shang Xirui's hand and sat down to reminisce about the past, and said kindly: "Your Master Jin just said that you would go to my place to sing for two days?"

After hearing this, Shang Xirui raised his eyes to look at Master Jin, his eyes were very unfriendly.They all came here on this road, and they don't need to think about it to know what it means to sing for two days.

Master Jin's methods of conquering the world are probably all coquettish methods. When he was young, he went to battle in person, and when he was old, he had his apprentices to win people's hearts for him.Now it is said that it will be arranged for him, but it turned out to be such an arrangement method!How could this work!He already has Cheng Fengtai now!You can't act like a spoiled child in someone else's bed to please you!

The celebrity didn't wait for Shang Xirui to decline, and said: "But as soon as I listened to your "Looking for Dreams" today, I knew that Shang Lang had someone in his heart, didn't he?"

Famous people are indeed famous people, they can be regarded as a bosom friend if they have this comprehension in the play, Shang Xirui nodded and said: "You are wise!" Because it was late at night, he only changed into costumes and no makeup, the boy's plain face , her cheeks and nose were pink and lovely from the cold, she was very sincere and honest, very pitiful.The old man couldn't help feeling regretful, and smiled at Master Jin: "Look at you, you still don't believe it! This is an infatuated child, don't manipulate him around!" After that, Shang Xirui escorted him into the car, and a group of people There are also individual visitors.

Shang Xirui turned around and was ready to quarrel with Master Jin when he came back, it's not what it used to be, he's already a character, it's impossible for Master Jin to do this kind of thing in secret!As a result, Master Jin preempted the attack, and his temper was ahead of him. He sat with his back facing him and shouted in a high-pitched voice like singing: "There is someone in my heart! What's wrong with someone! How many people in this industry are ruined by the three sincere people The word above? You grew up in Liyuan, how can you not know? If there are people, why don’t you come out to sing, be your leader of Shuiyunlou, clean and guard the person in your heart! Don’t come out to sing You still put on airs! You can only see it, but you can't touch it, what a disappointment!"

Although Shang Xirui didn't keep himself in the past, he hated this kind of tone of using actors as prostitutes, the whole thing was upside down, as if everyone came to praise his plays because of his fame.If someone else uttered such stupid words, he would have stepped forward and kicked the person to the ground in three steps and two steps.Master Jin is a master after all.Shang Xirui glared at him angrily, went back to the bedroom and banged the door loudly, he made up his mind that he must leave tomorrow, he will not stay in Nanjing, go back to Beiping, there will be no clean place anyway!

The next day, in order to avoid meeting Master Jin at the dinner table, Shang Xirui deliberately avoided the meal time before leaving the room.When I went out, I saw that Master Jin was sitting in the living room waiting for a rabbit. The table in front of him was covered with bowls covered upside down, obviously waiting for him to eat.At this time, Master Jin had changed his face, treated him with a pleasant face, and said, "You just woke up? Come over to eat soon! Don't wait until the dishes are cold!" Shang Xirui scooped up vegetables and spooned soup, said with a smile: "Young people are young people, they can eat a table alone for a meal, and sleep until the sun is up. Your Master Jin is really old, you can't sleep at dawn , I simply got up and made you a stew of Cordyceps and Duck Soup, which is the most nourishing for the lungs."

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, so Shang Xirui had no choice but to drink the soup in an easy-going manner, and heard Master Jin babbling beside him: "You are just stubborn, and stubbornness is not the right place. Your Master Jin watched you grow up, and Your father is in a good relationship, can he still harm you? There is someone in your heart, don’t you tell me earlier, I want to know, how can I do this! Now it’s a good thing, it was discovered by outsiders, it seems that we are masters and apprentices How thin the relationship is! I am heartbroken!"

Shang Xirui heard that Master Jin's attitude had changed completely, as if he really felt sorry for him, besides, he is a master after all, so it's not easy to turn against him.Shang Xirui felt a little embarrassed, covered his face with a bowl while eating, and munched through the meal in a daze.Master Jin is a master of communication in both the business and political circles, he knows Shang Xirui's personality well, and he knows that as long as he sweetens his words and softens them, Shang Xirui has no reason to be dissatisfied.So Master Jin resorted to tricks, lying in his apprentice's ear and whispering nonsense, while speaking, he would occasionally push Shang Xirui's shoulder, which was a gesture of coquetry to a man.What Master Jin meant was to ask Shang Xirui to worship a big man as his godfather!That big man's name is really famous, no matter how ignorant Shang Xirui is about politics, he must recognize this big man.Not only do they know each other, they also had a little friendship in the early years, when Shang Xirui was studying opera with Master Jin, they ate with big shots and listened to operas together.At that time, the big man had not been promoted to this level, and he was already a guest of Master Jin, and he had some prestige in the theater world. Sometimes he made comments and pointed out the country, he was quite insightful, and he was a real expert.Because of his special status, no one dared to refute his opinions.The big man once joked to Ning Jiulang in the past: You are the "Shangshu of Liyuan", and you are under one person and above ten thousand people.I should be a "Pear Garden Censor" Dangdang, and I will refer to you princes and generals for details!After hearing this, Jiulang said he didn't dare, but the nickname of Liyuan Yushi was also spread.

Shang Xirui was very surprised, he laughed at Master Jin and said: "How can this happen! Master, don't lie to me!"

Just as Master Jin was about to speak, boss Qiao Leqiao, who was playing the huqin, didn't wait for the servants to inform him. He pushed the door open and came in, followed by Li Tianyao.Li Tianyao stayed at home for two days, and waited for the slap marks on his face to disappear before coming out to refresh himself. He first greeted Master Jin, and it was obvious that he and Master Jin walked around very frequently.Qiao Le went around behind Master Jin, took Master Jin's spoon to drink the old duck soup directly from the casserole, and said without raising his head: "I met Xiao Li at the door, so I will bring it in together. To save you There are so many rules in the deep house and compound, let people freeze dry in the cold and wait for a long time." When he arrived at Master Jin's house, it was like returning to his own home. He felt that the duck soup was greasy, so he called his servants to make him tea, and smoked it casually in the dining room. Cigarettes, coughing, spitting.The rules in this deep house compound could not be implemented on him at all.Master Jin, who is so meticulous and obsessed with cleanliness, indulged Qiao Le very much. He glanced at him angrily and didn't bother to criticize him. He smiled at Li Tianyao and said, "Good job, Xiao Li. I also treat you as my own, and I have an idea to discuss with you." Then he said what he said just now.

When Li Tianyao heard this, she was overwhelmed, and she was very happy for Shang Xirui: "It's kind of daring! What Commissioner Liu said is the same as the imperial decree. If he can stand on the side of our boss Shang, whoever wants to fart must not weigh it before Weigh it!"

It is very common for opera singers to worship a few relatives. For those opera singers who do not have a backing, a county magistrate's wife is enough for them to kowtow and call them godmothers.Shang Xirui was born into a Liyuan family, so he saved a lot of godfathers and godmothers, but he didn't expect to become a character when he was an adult, but he would lose it in the evening.The father that Master Jin found for Shang Xirui was so famous and high-ranking that it made people feel flattered and hesitant, after all Shang Xirui still had a sense of integrity and asked him to push people to call him father , I can't hold back my face after all.

Qiao Le was sipping the tea leaves. At this time, he put the tea stems into the teacup, shook his head and interjected, "What a bad move! That old Liu Hanyun has a sour face and a ruthless heart, and he only knows how to take care of his own people! The third lady of his family Why didn't it happen? The Shang boy named his surname and stamped him in the future, so he had to bow his head and listen to his adjustments! Let them talk about what they like to say in Peking, and there will be a day when it will calm down. , come out to make a living, can’t stand this rubbing? Why bother to drive the tiger away!”

Master Jin raised his eyebrows: "You old guy! What's bothering you again! I want you to talk too much!"

Qiao Le put down his cup and sneered, "Your heart is unknown to others, how can I not? The apprentice recognized the old friend's father, and kissed him more. You are the hottest person in the middle, please make love at both ends!"

As soon as Qiao Le finished speaking, Master Jin grabbed a porcelain chopsticks rest in front of him and flew over, yelling, "Get out of here!" Qiao Le shook his head, put all the cigarettes and matches in his arms, and left.

Li Tianyao's own family is used to fighting and making troubles, so she was not surprised by this scene, and smiled silently.Shang Xirui was also embarrassed to make a fuss, and Master Jin called Xianghao Commissar Liu, but Qiao Le was an old guy, the meaning behind it couldn't be clearer, bleeding is not a big deal.Master Jin turned his head and smiled and said: "Don't listen to the old man's nonsense, you recognize Commissioner Liu as a father, he is in Nanjing and you are in Beiping, the two have nothing to do, he can take care of you? He has more godsons It’s not up to you to show your seniority according to your seniority! Let’s go through the test first! The word has spread to Nanjing, and when you go back, maybe Old Jiang will corrupt you with his stubbornness!”

Li Tianyao couldn't help but said: "Master Jin is right, that's what it means. Boss Shang should think about it, there is no such shop after passing this village, we can't continue to suffer from Lao Jiang's cowardice! He has so many faces, pointing his nose and scolding him, he is so accomplished! What a level! You are the boss of Shangda! I can't bear it for you!"

Shang Xirui's teeth itch with hatred when he thought of the shame and humiliation in the Liyuan Guild Hall that day.He was born impatient, how could he survive the distant day when the slander subsided.He was still young after all.Jiulang once told him ten thousand times that he should discuss everything with his brothers and sisters, and never make decisions by himself.All these exhortations were forgotten at the moment, Shang Xirui was only thinking about how to embarrass Master Jiang and how to elevate himself, after thinking about it for a while, refreshed, he immediately nodded to Master Jin and said: " It’s up to the master to make the decision.”

Master Jin slapped his hands in praise, and held a big banquet the next day, inviting several famous people from the south.Liu Hanyun sat at the head, with that unsmiling and majestic demeanor.To be fair, Liu Hanyun not only has outstanding political achievements, but also is a decent person, not greedy for ink or favoritism.For so many years, from Beiping to Shanghai to Nanjing, there is only one master Jin who loves each other by his side, and he never touches the apprentices under Master Jin.The few opera reviews and annotations he has written, even Du Qi, who is so self-confident about his talents, nods in praise.Letting Shang Xirui recognize him as a godfather is really an insult to Shang Xirui.However, what Qiao Le said was also reasonable. This Committee Member Liu was fond of reputation and had a solitary personality.The third lady of his family was studying abroad and was pregnant with a child, but her boyfriend died unexpectedly in a shipwreck. She had no choice but to return home alone with a full stomach to find some support.Unexpectedly, Liu Hanyun was deeply ashamed, thinking that it was rape, saying that the Liu family had never had a daughter who was pregnant before marriage, and he even used the family staff to punish him and drove him out of the house.Under the double stimulation, the poor third lady died within a few days.Master Jin only had a few meals at the same table with the third lady, and chatted for a few days, and he still lamented greatly when he heard the news of his death.Liu Hanyun didn't shed a single tear.Master Jin couldn't help saying that he was cruel.

Liu Hanyun had a difficult life, and after the age of 50, he began to like to admit his son to make up for his regrets, and he was quite familiar with this.This time with the addition of Shang Xirui, the Liu family's godsons can be regarded as scholars, farmers, businessmen, craftsmen and all walks of life.Liu Hanyun was solemn and dignified at the banquet, until he drank the tea respected by Shang Xirui, he treated him as his own nephew and warned him a few words about how to be a man in the world, telling him to stick to his duty in the pear garden, etc. He was solemnly given a Ruyi inlaid with precious stones.It is said that all his godsons have such a golden Ruyi of the same size, which makes people wonder whether there is a secret code engraved on the back of Ruyi so that the godsons can be organized into a team.After the banquet, the father and son talked privately for a while, from the drama on stage to the favor off stage, the old and the young were able to talk together after many years.Liu Hanyun nodded slightly and said: "These years in Beiping have not been in vain. I have accumulated some real materials in my stomach. I am knowledgeable and better than your Master Jin." Master Jin pursed his lips and took a sip of tea .Shang Xirui listened with his head down.Liu Hanyun said again: "Your Master Jin will be your guarantor this time, and I also trust the children taught by Shang Juzhen. It's okay that you use my name to overwhelm the wind, the children's families are dangerous, godfather I am willing to be your amulet. It’s just that you and my father and son have spoken first, and if you rely on me to do evil and do unrighteous things, I will not be the first to spare you!”

Shang Xirui blinked his eyes and thought about it, but he didn't expect who he was going to harm after becoming a yamen, so Zheng nodded his head, assuring himself that he was a good person with a conscience.Master Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Commissioner Liu is too strict, and he will scare our boss Shang!" Liu Hanyun's face softened just now, and said: "As for the matter between you and the Jiang family, your Master Jin has explained it to me. Alright, don't worry."

Shang Xirui thought about what Li Tianyao said that there is no such shop after passing this village, his heart skipped a beat, he raised his head and said: "I beg Godfather to do me a favor, if Godfather also finds it difficult, I will give up " As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a crumpled note with a line of address copied on it.
