WTF

Xiao Fengwu thought to himself that he was starving and fainted, and his mind was confused. He covered his face with a quilt and calmly calmed down. Suddenly, he heard a soft sound from the bedside table. A bowl of steaming porridge came.

The blue ball of light appeared again.

[Dear, you have to repay the meal money, within three days, don't forget it]

Xiao Fengwu: "..."

If it were an ordinary person, I would have been scared to death long ago, but he was always daring, stared at the ball of light for a long time, and realized that it was not some evil ghost with a ferocious face, and it disappeared after a while, so he didn't care. It's big, it's amazing, and it's a soul-stirring thing to say.

As for what I just said, Xiao Fengwu will not take it seriously. The house is quiet, and there are no outsiders. He gets up and takes a bowl and puts the porridge in three or two times. After drinking clean, I looked through the window, but found a figure sitting in the corridor, leaning back against the pillar in a daze, not knowing what to think.

Qin Mingyue was born in poverty. She was sold into a theatre troupe when she was a child. She practiced and sang, did laundry, and cooked food. She did not get whipped for a day. Later, when she got older, she became the most outstanding one among the brothers. In order to please the Xiao family, some people invited Qin Mingyue gave him to Xiao Fengwu, whose name is Broken Sleeves, in the name of singing in the house.

At that time, Qin Mingyue was still a little actor with no name and name. She had never been on the stage before. She knew that her life was probably like this. She wore plain clothes and handed it to Xiao Fengwu with a celadon tea cup. Ruo Fuliu, the boy who is the favorite of others: "Invite Master Sixteen to drink tea."

It was summer, and the sun made people dizzy. Xiao Fengwu was wearing a white silk shirt, hula fan, surrounded by a group of beautiful maids, ignoring him, Qin Mingyue kept holding out his hand, and then lifted half of the tea lid to disperse The air was hot, and after a long while, I handed it forward again: "The tea is cold, Lord Sixteen, please use it."

Xiao Fengwu raised his eyes and looked at him, the latter gave a timid smile.

Xiao Fengwu thought to himself, he is a smart boy.

It's a pity that Qin Mingyue is smart, but he has not been deeply involved in the world. He has grown up in bitter waters since he was a child. Even his master Kou Yujun, the rattan whip is ruthless. He's better, but his heart can't hold it anymore.

Besides, Xiao Fengwu's petting is no longer "slightly good", but "very good". In the eyes of outsiders, he still feels envious, so what about Qin Mingyue's party.

Even after a few years, I still can't let go.

The faint moonlight poured down, and the green leaves in the courtyard were covered with a layer of silver. Qin Mingyue thought about what Xiao Fengwu said today, and thought it was true and false. In the end, that mouth became famous. It's a lie, and it's not likely to spit out half the truth when it's rotten.

Qin Mingyue didn't have a low-profile and small status before, nor was she a naive and deceitful heart. She didn't know what she had experienced in all these years, and her temper was strange and cunning, which could be said to be uncertain. Still holding the fan in his hand, for no apparent reason, he suddenly sneered and tore it in half, and there was a sound of thorns, and Xiao Fengwu, who was hiding behind the door, jumped with his eyelids.

"You hate me so much that you won't even keep the fan?"

He walked out of the shadows, wearing a plain white tunic and a coat, and his body was long and jade-like, as if he was still the sixteenth man who fascinated countless women in Yancheng back then.

Qin Mingyue looked at him expressionlessly, her fingertips pressed hard, provocatively, and there was another sting.

Xiao Fengwu blocked his hand: "Do you want to learn from Qingwen, but I can't become Jia Baoyu, there is no box of folding fans for you to tear apart, this one is gone, but it will be gone again."

When he said this, there was still a smile in his eyes, Qin Mingyue threw the incomplete fan into his arms, and looked sarcastic: "What kind of Qingwen Jia Baoyu? As a servant, why do you say it so nicely, Mrs. Xiao died, and I didn't see you cry, so let him go with those fake tears!"

Xiao Fengwu's mother died early. When he was a child, he was surly and mischievous. Several concubines were unwilling to support him. In the end, he was hugged by Mrs. Xiao's knees. It is reasonable to say that the two should have a deep relationship.

The broken fan is worthless, Xiao Fengwu tore off the jade pendant on the handle of the fan, and threw the tattered skeleton aside, strangely, the smile on his lips deepened: "Why do you cry, it is a good thing that he is dead, life is seven It is rare in the past ten years. Although he has never lived to that age, he is stronger than many people. Think about it, the fifteen brothers and sisters above me are not fuel-efficient lamps. You have to live a poor life with us, and sooner or later you will have to die, so it’s better to go clean and not worry about everything.”

Qin Mingyue only felt that his heart was really cold.

Xiao Fengwu used to turn black and white when he opened his mouth: "You can sing "The Burial of Daiyu"? I also read "The Story of the Stone", but fortunately Lin Daiyu went early, otherwise Jia's house was stolen, wouldn't she want to live a poor life together? I can't think of a picture of the immortal Shu in the world washing her hands and making soup."

Qin Mingyue raised her eyebrows angrily: "She is not someone who dislikes the poor and loves the rich."

"Even if it's not," Xiao Fengwu rubbed his chin, "she is so sad and sickly, she can't be afforded by a poor family. She eats ginseng Yangrong pills and bird's nest every day, and she gets sick every day. In the past, my grandfather did the same thing. After all, more than a dozen grandchildren were not close to him, and I was an incompetent, no one to raise them, so I would probably starve to death on the street."

The words were a little far off, Qin Mingyue's face suddenly showed a little irritability, she got up and wanted to leave, Xiao Fengwu grabbed him, but found that the touch of his fingertips was not right, looked down, his face changed slightly: "Your hand ?!"

No wonder he was so surprised. Looking through the lantern under the eaves, Qin Mingyue's little finger on his left hand was actually broken. Now that the injury has healed, it is difficult to find it unless you look closely.

He didn't ask about it, but when he asked about it, it only made people feel more sad. Qin Mingyue pulled her hand back, but Xiao Fengwu couldn't move.

Xiao Fengwu asked coldly, "How did this hand hurt?!"

How could it hurt, not just crawling back to find you caught in the door!

In the past, when learning drama, Qin Mingyue despised this kind of cheap and rude people the most. What would it be like to be unable to live without a man, but she couldn't imagine that she had done such things. Now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed, and I don't have the face to say it.

Xiao Fengwu's body was still empty, but after a stalemate, he pushed him away, and his footsteps fell to the ground. Seeing this, Qin Mingyue stomped his feet angrily. After all, he left without looking back.

This is a clean small courtyard, with a Xifu Begonia planted in the middle, but before the flowering season, Xiao Fengwu lay on the ground, looking at Qin Mingyue's leaving figure, I don't know what he was thinking, he shook his head, and got up from the ground after a while , patted off the ash from his body, went into the house and went to sleep.

To be a human being, it is better to be heartless, and to have nothing to worry about.

For example, Xiao Fengwu, his grandfather died and his eldest brother died, and his body was clean, not as full of gold and silver as before. In the same situation, if he changed his mind, he would not be able to stop his bowels from crying, but he had nothing to do.

Early the next morning, the yard was empty, and only an old servant was sweeping in the middle. Xiao Fengwu drew water from the well, and after stumbling over the wash, he asked casually, "Where is your master's house?"

To this day, he doesn't put on the stinky air of the young master, and his voice is quite warm.

The old servant had some tinnitus, but after hearing him say it several times, he couldn't hear the reason. Xiao Fengwu shook his head with a tut. The old servant looked to be in his fifties, his face was swollen and his eyes were yellow, and he was afraid that he would not live for a few years.

Xiao Fengwu held the back of his ear, raised his voice, and repeated with the last bit of patience, "Where did Qin Mingyue go?"

The old servant finally understood and said inarticulately, "Sir went to Shengdelou to sing."

Hey, hard work!

Xiao Fengwu walked out of the yard, with his hands behind his back, swaying all over the street. From a distance, he could hear the shouts of Shengde Building, which was about to overturn the roof. Ordinary people who listen to the opera and cannot squeeze in.

Qin Mingyue only appeared in Yancheng recently. He used to walk around and sing wherever he settled down. Hearing that he came to Yancheng, many fans from neighboring counties chased after him. The pool seat in the center of Shengde Building It was packed to the brim, and the upper balcony box was full of female dependents, full of officials, wives, and ladies. They spent a lot of money to set up their seats long ago, and their arrogance was so arrogant that the official's teeth hurt.

The railings were crowded with people. Xiao Fengwu thought that an idiot squeezed the front door. He walked around and walked to the back. Who would have thought that he would see a smart man, pouting his butt, about to go to the dog hole, rolled his eyes, and deliberately shouted loudly. A sound, startled the other party.

"Ouch my mother!"

That man was a wealthy businessman, in his early twenties, with a fat face and narrow eyes, he fell to the ground with a jolt, not funny.

Xiao Fengwu leaned against the wall and laughed loudly: "Who am I supposed to be, it turns out to be the third son of Cen, go drill it, I shouldn't bother you, there are all thugs in there, you take your head out and immediately beat you up. killed!"

The two were old acquaintances.

Cen San got up from the ground, saw Xiao Fengwu, circled around him, and was also happy: "I went to Taizhou for three years, and when I come back, you still haven't improved like this... I heard about your family. My condolences and change, brother."

Xiao Fengwu said nonchalantly, "I came here early! Why did you return to Yancheng?"

Cen Sandao: "There's a war in the south, business is not good, and I have to move back to my home. When I arrived here the day before yesterday, I wanted to listen to Qin Mingyue's play, hey, his grandma's, there's not a single building."

Xiao Fengwu pointed to the carriage parked outside: "Have you seen it, the Yin'er of the Huang family, and the Zhu family's, all of them are related to the above, who buys your face?"

Cen San pouted: "A poor and remote Pozhi County is also worthy of being a "superior" relationship, your second uncle is a Beijing official, I met a year ago, the head of the fifth grade Taiyuan Hospital, what are you doing? Don't go to him."

Xiao Fengwu said: "He broke up with his family long ago. My grandfather hated him when he mentioned it. He hadn't been in contact for more than ten years. It can be seen that there is no affection, why bother to blame, and besides, an imperial physician can handle anything."

Cen Sandao: "That's not the same, your second uncle is the foot of the emperor, and he is the official of the capital. I heard that he is now a celebrity in front of the empress. He protects the dragon's womb every day, but he is much stronger than this corner. Yancheng In this world, any big cat or dog would dare to call him a master, what happened to the Huang family, and what happened to the Zhu family."

Cen San leaned against the door and sighed, but he could hear the sound of the play inside, but he couldn't really hear it, and circling in circles, Xiao Fengwu said: "Idiot idiot, if I said someone was guarding it, you believed it, why not? Go see for yourself."

After saying this, he took a few steps back, and one of them climbed up the wall lightly with the help of his strength. There was indeed a thug with a stick at the back door. Xiao Fengwu picked up a small piece of broken tile and threw it at him, knocking him unconscious.

Cen San was lying in the dog hole below and saw the real thing. He wanted to get in, but he got stuck. He jumped up in a hurry and clawed at the wall and said: "Good brother, give me a hand, you shouldn't listen to me if it's too late. Hurry up!"

With his size, Xiao Fengwu wanted to pull it up, but thanks to his height, he was able to pull it up with gritted teeth. While the thugs were still awake, the two jumped in. Who would have thought that they would plunge into the second floor in a daze and look down from above. , facing the stage.

Fortunately, the others were listening to the play, but they didn't pay attention to them. Cen San leaned on the railing, leaned out half body, stared at the "Yang Guifei" in the center who turned all beings upside down for a long time, and then secretly smashed Xiao Fengwu: "Hey, isn't this Mingyue, the actor you gathered earlier."

Everyone on the stage had painted faces, and Xiao Fengwu was puzzled, how did Cen San recognize this dog's eyes.

Cen San was fascinated: "Tsk tsk tsk, with this figure, with this look, why are you willing to drive away?"

Xiao Fengwu raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you abandon Xiaochuntao?"

Xiaochuntao was a female actress bought by Cen San, and she gave up after less than two months.

Cen San immediately did not speak in embarrassment, Xiao Fengwu said lazily: "If you want to shove, you will shove. What reason do you need, next time you don't ask such silly words."

Cen San changed his tone again: "The actor is a low-ranking actor, he can play, he can have fun, why take it seriously, the one underneath is a disaster, what kind of bastard made you fascinated at the beginning, I was wrong about what you said just now, you It's good, fortunately you did, otherwise you'd have to empty out your blood."

Xiao Fengwu thought for a while, then shook his head: "I want this kind of thing, I don't want to deduct any misfortune hats, I don't want to give gold to silver, he can still rob it, it doesn't matter if others say it is cheap or not, You have to decide for yourself, and others say that business is cheap, so are you cheap?"

Cen San's face was a little dejected, and he stopped talking while pounding on the railing.

When the show was taking a break, in the first row of the pool seat, there was a man who looked like a young master, and his voice was hoarse. .

There was a little rustling movement in the pile of female relatives next to them.

"Isn't that the young master of Chen Zhixian's family, what kind of madness has become? From my point of view, Qin Mingyue is very tight, and if he doesn't hook a man's heart for a day, he will not be happy. My master wants to invite someone to sing in the house. Yes, fortunately I was stopped by me, this fox figure is worth it when I go."

"Chen Xiaoye is quite measured, and he only holds it in the theater. Have you ever seen him go home and make his father break his legs?"

"It's just an actor. If you can be beautiful for a few years, don't you just rely on that goblin face? When you get old, let's see if there are any men who are willing to support it."

Xiao Fengwu listened on the side, thinking that Qin Mingyue is not that kind of person, he is a bit bad-tempered, but the four characters of "humei seduction" are not suitable for him. Not shy.

After joining in the fun, he wanted to leave, but saw that Xiaoye Chen followed Qin Mingyue into the back of the stage, and the ghosts and gods followed.

The backstage of the theater was full of boxes and cages filled with shit. People came and went to change clothes and put on makeup. They were in a hurry. Qin Mingyue was wearing a royal concubine robe embroidered with gold threads and inlaid with pearls and jade, and was sitting in front of the mirror to remove makeup. The grandfather dragged a stool and looked at him madly.

Chen Xiaoye said softly: "Boss Qin, your concubine sings so well, I can't hear it anymore."

Xiao Fengwu sat on the other side of the mirror and listened, wondering what the word "lost heart" is, is it not a heartless thing.

Qin Mingyue only smiled lightly, but did not speak.

Chen Xiaoye continued: "Mingyue, as soon as I saw you, my heart seemed to have lost my soul. I couldn't sleep all day long, I didn't want to eat tea, I didn't want to eat, if you feel bad, just follow me. , I will definitely wait for you!"

He was in a hurry, and even grabbed Qin Mingyue's hand, Xiao Fengwu patiently continued to listen.

No matter how popular Qin Mingyue is, in the end, he is still just an actor. He can't provoke official words. He smiled and pulled back his hand, swept the end of his eyes, and the charming beauty still carried a bit of a drunken state of concubine: "Mingyue's identity is humble, and it is impossible to climb high. rise."

Chen Xiaoye was even more anxious: "Mingyue, I don't care about that, all I know is that I like you, so don't reject people thousands of miles away like this!"

The people around them are used to seeing this scene. It is obvious that this is not the first time for this master to do such a thing. Besides, actors live like this. They rely on their voice and body, but they don't know this Qin Qin. The boss will be picked by who.

It can be considered that Chen Xiaoye has some background, otherwise Qin Mingyue will never be seen if someone else is changed.

Seeing that she couldn't tear it apart, Qin Mingyue removed the ink on her face and said, "I'm following you? How does Chen Xiaoye want to treat me? Find a yard and raise it as an outer room? Or wait for you to marry a wife, I take it as a side servant?"

Chen Xiaoye's expression changed strangely: "I promise, my heart is with you."

Xiao Fengwu was dying of laughter, and even said that his heart was gone, so where did he get his heart now.

Qin Mingyue didn't say anything, and after a while, he suddenly sighed, not knowing what he was sighing, he untied the buckle on his neck, revealing a neck that was as white as jade, and then took off the imperial concubine's robe, Chen Xiaoye Looking straight, I just heard him say: "It's getting late, Master Chen, go back."

Qin Mingyue lacked interest and obviously didn't want to deal with it. The "heartless" Chen Xiaoye didn't dare to cause trouble, so he went back to the house reluctantly.

Qin Mingyue looked at his back, his eyes were full of sneer and ridicule, just as he was about to look away, his hand on the table was suddenly held by someone, and then a man's low and playful voice came from his ear: "Qin Mingyue Boss, your concubine sings so well, I can't even hear it."

Qin Mingyue's pupils shrank when she heard the words, but she saw a handsome face flashing from behind the bronze mirror.

After Qin Mingyue was astonished, she sneered: "I don't know when the Sixteenth Master will understand drama?"

Xiao Fengwu supported his chin, put his hand on his face, and said playfully, "I don't understand drama, but there are people in the audience, so I think you sing the best."

He was telling the truth, looking into those eyes, Qin Mingyue was lost for a moment, unable to say anything, and finally withdrew his hand and said with a stinky face: "Then I have to thank the Sixteenth Master for his praise."

Xiao Fengwu looked at him with a smile: "It's hard for you to call me a master, but I'm no longer a master, and I'm not better than before. Now that you have better people around you, I'm still making fun of it."

After speaking, he patted his sleeve, as if to get up and leave.

Qin Mingyue's heart suddenly panicked, thinking that Xiao Fengwu had misunderstood that he was having an affair with that young master Chen, and stood up suddenly, the bronze mirror turned over, angry and angry: "What do you mean, I think I am an actor, I have a low status, if I see someone with some money, I have to jump on it, what is the master or not, I will follow one from the beginning to the end, I have suffered enough losses, and are I stupid to repeat the same mistakes?!"

He continued to talk for a long time, and when he saw that everyone around him looked over, he kicked over the stool angrily, feeling ashamed, and seeing Xiao Fengwu's unreacted appearance, he walked away.

The people behind the theater can understand what they said, and they all want to see what the person who is entangled with Qin Mingyue looks like.

Xiao Fengwu didn't listen to the show, so he didn't come to Liyuan. Everyone had heard of him, but not many of them had seen him. When he saw Qin Mingyue gone, he handed over to the people around him to accuse him and chased after him.

Qin Mingyue was really burning with anger, and it hurt her brain. She didn't sit in the sedan chair.

Xiao Fengwu followed behind. Seeing that the old servant in the courtyard was still sweeping, he watched with interest for a moment. Seeing that he was still very deaf, he turned over the eaves and uncovered the tiles. Seeing Qin Mingyue sitting on the ground, he kept going. He patted his chest, his face turned pale.

He was from a humble background, and his mind was sensitive. Xiao Fengwu never thought that a random joke would make him react so strongly, he covered the tiles and jumped off again.

Xiao Fengwu leaned against the door and patted it twice perfunctorily: "Open the door."

The room was silent for a moment, not even the sound of breathing.

Xiao Fengwu said again: "If I don't open the door, I will kick it directly and kick it off."

Qin Mingyue looked out the door and squinted: "What are you doing here at my house, there will be guests coming to the door later, don't get in my way, you dignified son of the Xiao family, don't touch my inferior door and stain yours foot."

"Boom!"

Xiao Fengwu kicked the door open directly, Qin Mingyue saw this, and it was as if someone had strangled her throat, unable to say a word.

Xiao Fengwu took it to the door and said with a smile: "Why are you angry? I just said it casually. I know that you are so infatuated with me that you are willing to sacrifice your life for me. You are not someone who hates the poor and loves the rich."

Qin Mingyue's hands were shaking with anger: "Nonsense!"

Xiao Fengwu was stunned and asked back, "Oh? Then you really like that 'heartless' Mr. Chen?"

This mouth is really unforgiving. If Qin Mingyue has a bad temper, he can jump up and punch him to death.

Qin Mingyue pointed at him tremblingly: "You go! Go far!"

A pair of phoenix eyes filled with tears and almost fell out.

Xiao Fengwu didn't go away, but with a calm expression, he squatted in front of him, and saw the incision of the severed finger clearly.

He said again: "When did I feel that you were despicable, and that you were despicable, why did I keep you by my side for so many years?"

Qin Mingyue didn't speak, her chest heaved up and down, and she stared at him with her neck stuck.

Xiao Fengwu scratched his head, seemingly helpless: "My mother is also an actress."

She didn't seem to expect him to say this, Qin Mingyue was stunned for a moment, only to hear Xiao Fengwu continue: "Well... but she... She never felt that she was cheap, she always said that people must stand upright and straight in life, no Stealing or not grabbing food, nothing is inferior to others.”
