It was getting dark, and the play in the garden had already begun. Cheng Fengtai took the Changs and his wife around the house, and he was still introducing: "This house used to be Prince Rui's residence. Fan Lian knew that I don't like Chinese-style houses. The lighting is bad and cold. But the second grandma likes it. You have to buy it! Cousin, do you know how much this house costs? You feel so heartbroken to hear it! It’s enough to rebuild the original one!—Have you seen the well? It is said that in the year of Gengzi, King Rui Fujin jumped into it and died. My son was disobedient, so I used this to scare him. Haha... "
Chang Zhixin listened with a smile, and quietly asked Fan Lian: "Is he always like this?"
Fan Lian felt that her brother-in-law was even more unreasonable than usual today: "It's not like this usually, but today I hit it off with you."
Chang Zhixin smiled and said, "Quite an interesting person, haha."
Fan Lian smiled wryly: "It's quite interesting - it's so interesting that ordinary people can't stand his interest." He ran forward two steps and grabbed Cheng Fengtai: "Brother-in-law, it's almost there. Cousin is going to live in Beiping for a while, look When can't you see the house? You leave the guests in the front yard, can't you?"
Cheng Fengtai was very excited about traveling, and said: "They care about their eating, drinking and having fun, I don't care if there is anyone else. Do you want me to serve them tea and water?" He suddenly stopped and turned around, slapped his hands, and said palely: "Oops! I forgot my brother-in-law! Cousin—”
Fan Lian waved him away: "I'll take my cousin there, hurry up. Don't teach Commander Cao to kill you with one shot."
Although it is not enough to collapse, but Commander Cao's complexion is indeed very bad. Because for more than half an hour, Cheng Fengtai didn't come, Shang Xirui didn't come out, and there were no beauties around to flatter him - his wife Cheng Meixin couldn't count. When had Commander Cao been neglected like this before, and couldn't help but want to leave several times, Cheng Meixin held him down and persuaded him: "Honey, Edwin must have been caught by something, wait a little longer. If you want to start a meal, then you will severely punish him with two drinks."
After saying this for the fifth time, Cheng Fengtai finally rushed over with a flattering smile on his face. Commander Cao blew his beard and stared at him, then snorted coldly.
Cheng Fengtai smiled and said: "Brother-in-law is angry? Don't be angry! I have a relative who just arrived in Beiping, and I'm busy greeting them."
Commander Cao said: "Xiao Feng'er, you are not authentic. They are your relatives, so I am not? Fuck your grandma!"
Cheng Fengtai was verbally fucked by Commander Cao, but the smile on his face remained the same, he took the hazelnuts and peeled them obsequiously. Commander Cao wanted to say don't peel it, I've been eating all afternoon, and I farted so much. Unexpectedly, Cheng Fengtai peeled it off and put it in his mouth, which made Commander Cao very angry, laughed and scolded him as a bastard, and then greeted his mother and grandmother. Cheng Fengtai grinned, but still didn't take it to heart.
Commander Cao doesn't get angry with Cheng Fengtai, because he has the same temper, and he likes him from the bottom of his heart, more than his own son. Cheng Fengtai doesn't get angry with Commander Cao, because he treats him as an elder, a reckless man, a backer, and if he is fooled, it's over if he doesn't talk to him.
Cheng Meixin leaned back, passed Commander Cao and asked her younger brother softly: "Where are there any relatives in our family? Aren't the second uncle and the young lady both in England?"
Cheng Fengtai said: "It's not from our family, it's from Second Mistress's side, her cousin... Hey! It's Chang Zhixin and Jiang Mengping from Pingyang!" As he spoke, he raised his chin to one side, Cheng Meixin looked over and saw Fan Lian's side The pair of talented men and women. Cheng Meixin can be regarded as a half-witness to the old affairs in Pingyang, and she knows it clearly. Looking at Chang Zhixin with a feeling of spring, he thought to himself that he is really good-looking, a woman would definitely choose him, Shang Xirui is a childish half-child, crazy and capricious, which woman would want him ah.
Thinking of Shang Xirui's romantic experience of falling apart, Cheng Meixin pursed her lips and smiled smugly, before the smugness was over, she thought of something extraordinary, turned her head abruptly, and said in shock: "I'm going to die! Shang Xirui is here, how dare you keep them! You're going to die!"
Cheng Fengtai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't take this grievance to heart: "... the public, what can't be done?"
Cheng Meixin said: "You don't know Shang Xirui. I lived in the same house with him for half a year, and I know him so well! He is—" Cheng Meixin looked at Commander Cao, Commander Cao was annoyed by women gossiping behind his back, I had to say: "He has a bad temper! He's rushing!" But that's not enough to describe Shang Xirui, he held back for a while, and said: "If he wants to go crazy, he doesn't care how many people you have here, the one sitting below is What role, what consequences. He just cares about himself and vents his anger!"
Cheng Fengtai smiled and ate his snacks: "No way? I think he is very good, just a happy kid, not the unreasonable person you said."
Cheng Meixin guessed that he would not believe it, she sighed, gritted her teeth and said: "Just wait and see."
The happy boy Shang Xirui hummed the opera and looked at himself in front of the mirror, he took out the costumes from the bottom of the box and put them on, which shows how friendly he is with Cheng Fengtai.
Shang Xirui looked at the clock, smacked his lips: "Xiao Lai! I want to drink water!"
Xiao Lai shivered and brought a glass of water over, Shang Xirui smiled and said: "You are stupid! How can I drink with makeup on, bring a straw."
Xiao Lai nodded in a daze, took a straw from the tea cage and inserted it into the teacup. Shang Xirui was the laziest, he lowered his head and sucked a couple of mouthfuls into Xiao Lai's hand, only to feel that the cup was shaking in Xiao Lai's hand, making the water rippling. Looking at her face again, her cheeks flushed with sweat, she couldn't help laughing and said: "You girl, you have met the emperor's warlords all over the place. Although this is a palace, you don't live in a real prince. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Lai lowered his head and said, "I didn't..."
After drinking the water, Shang Xirui hummed a few more jokes, posing in the mirror as if no one else was there, feeling quite intoxicated.
Xiao Lai suddenly bit his lip and said, "Boss Shang, let's stop singing today!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you sing when you're good? What's wrong with you?" Shang Xirui squeezed her arm: "Is there something uncomfortable?"
Xiao Lai shook his head, turned around and left as if holding back something. After a while, Shang Xirui saw in the mirror that she lifted the curtain and looked down the stage, frowning, looking terrified, like a big tiger sitting under the stage.
Shang Xirui approached quietly and patted her on the shoulder: "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Lai turned around with a cry of alarm, with a horrific face, as if he had seen a ghost. Shang Xirui felt something was wrong, so he lifted the curtain and looked down. Saw Cheng Fengtai at first sight, Cheng Fengtai saw him too, blinked at him, Shang Xirui couldn't help but smile. Sitting next to him were Commander Cao and Cheng Meixin. He wanted to appear on the stage later, Cheng Meixin swallowed his anger and forced a smile after seeing him, but Cheng Meixin kept turning her head to look to the other side worriedly, her mind was not on the stage. Shang Xirui followed her gaze and looked over there, and he was right there.
The drumbeat beat a tune, and the main character didn't appear on stage, so the co-star called him softly, but he was already out of his mind, and didn't care about the beat or the occasion.
How many years have passed, and I never thought that today, I would meet here.
Shang Xirui felt that his brain was filled with hot magma, it was hot and swollen, it was buzzing with pain, his legs were also weak, he held on to the door frame for a long time before he came back to his senses. She lived a really good life, well-dressed and radiant, sitting down and listening to him sing, like a young lady from a high-class family. In the past, they stood on the same stage and sang a play, joys, sorrows and joys together, so happy and lively at that time. Later she left and went down the stage, Shang Xirui was the only one left on the stage, and Shang Xirui was the only one left in the world.
She never sang with him again, she listened to him.
Shang Xirui stood firm, thinking, I'll sing it for you today.
Before Xiao Lai saw Jiang Mengping in the audience, he was bluffed out of his wits, knowing that he would not be kind today, he grabbed Shang Xirui's sleeve and cried: "Boss Shang! Don't! Let's stop singing!"
Shang Xirui pushed her hand away forcefully, lifted the curtain and went out, walked to the stage and stood motionless, staring at Jiang Mengping. His eyes were originally bright and energetic, watery almond eyes that are rare among men, now he is staring blankly at a person full of resentment, Cheng Fengtai is watching from below, that gaze seems to be able to pierce a person's heart, it is so cruel The pain really makes people feel a sense of fear, it is like the glaring eyes of the King Kong in the temple.
Shang Xirui didn't speak for a long time, the huqin and drums all stopped, all the guests felt something was wrong.
In the silence, Shang Xirui suddenly raised his voice and sang sharply: "Don't think about this kid begging for food! Once married into his family, he will never be abandoned for a long time. And he dare not ban him, so he punches and kicks , hit you crying!
In this season, the boat arrives in the middle of the river to make up for the leak, and it is troublesome to blame him. Think ahead and avoid regrets. I also advise you not to! One day, I am ready to rescue your husband-seeking stone! "
Cheng Fengtai thought it was wrong, what kind of drama is this? It doesn't sound happy at all. Immediately afterwards, there was a clatter of tables and chairs behind him. Trembling all over, Jiang Mengping stood up and knocked over the chair. She seemed to have seen something terrifying, and she couldn't stop backing away.
After four years, she also recognized Shang Xirui at a glance, she taught Shang Xirui's makeup by hand, how could she not recognize him. He still remembers the past, and still hates her, this hatred has been soaked in his bones, so much that he doesn't even want to be an actor. Back then in Pingyang, Shang Xirui drove her to death, shameless, whoever saw her would spit on them for adultery. Unexpectedly, she saved food and drink, took Shang Xirui by her side like a younger brother to take care of him, defended him everywhere, pampered him, and in the end, she raised a wolf, a wolf that would only stop eating her!
Those unbearable past events on the streets of Pingyang came back in an instant. Jiang Mengping backed away in a panic and tried to escape, startling several guests. Chang Zhixin hurriedly stepped forward to hold her in his arms and coax her softly.
Shang Xirui pointed at them on the stage:
"If you hire, you will be a wife, if you run away, you will be a concubine! You still don't want to go home!"
Cheng Fengtai understood this sentence.
Commander Cao sighed: "Hey! "On the Wall"! Xiaorui'er is so old-fashioned!"
Jiang Mengping covered her ears and shook her head vigorously, with tears streaming down her face, she sobbed, "Zhixin, I don't want to be here, let's go back! Go back!"
Chang Zhixin felt so distressed: "Okay, okay, let's go now. Fan Lian! You drive me!"
The three of them were making a fuss about leaving the hospital. Commander Cao was already tired of them, so he stood up suddenly, pulled out the gun at his waist and fired a bullet into the sky, then pointed the muzzle of the gun at the three of them.
Cheng Fengtai was shocked, and stood up to grab Commander Cao's gun: "Brother-in-law! Don't!"
Commander Cao pushed him away, pointed Jiang Mengping at gunpoint, and said, "Today is a good day for my nephew, what are you doing crying and crying? What a fucking bad luck! Sit down for me! No one is allowed to leave!" said With a wave of the muzzle of the gun, soldiers came over and guarded the door with guns.
Commander Cao was the local emperor who ruled the country in the northwest. When he arrived in Beiping, as long as the soldiers were still there, he was still the emperor, and no one could offend him.
Chang Zhixin and Commander Cao faced each other silently, with fire in his eyes. Fan Lian persuaded him in a low voice: "Zhi Xin! Chang Zhi Xin! This is not the boundary of Pingyang, and you are not the third master of the Chang family either! If Commander Cao wants to kill someone, it will be like twisting a bedbug. A good man should not suffer immediate losses, bear with him." Endure it!" While pressing down hard on his shoulder.
Chang Zhixin gritted his teeth, sat down with his arms around his wife, and held her tightly against his chest, as if this would insulate him from the humiliation of the outside world, instead he sat upright and glared at Shang Xirui angrily.
Shang Xirui also stared at him, his eyes were full of sternness. Among the many arias, he excerpted one for Chang Zhixin, and sang forcefully after changing the tune: "... this skin is your upper body shell, this mallet is your elbow and lower rib; this nail hole is your There are hairs in your heart; this stick is the fangs on your mouth! The two ends will always beat you to the bone, and even a short time will not be able to repay you for your bad intentions! Let's count from the beginning and listen to us!"
Commander Cao seemed to see Shang Xirui on the Pingyang City Tower again, acting like a madman. The soldiers all over the city were timid and trembling. He stood in the hail of bullets and sang opera leisurely. A concubine Yu is more indomitable than the overlord of Chu.
Commander Cao shouted, "Good!"
As soon as Commander Cao applauded, the adjutant and the soldiers standing all around followed suit, and the other guests did not dare not to applaud, but they didn't know the good news. In this play, they are the most inexplicably frightened. However, their support is undoubtedly another kind of humiliation to Chang Zhixin and Jiang Mengping. Jiang Mengping was choked with crying, and Chang Zhixin held her shoulders with a terrifying expression.
Cheng Fengtai looked at Shang Xirui very annoyed, he didn't know whether to be angry or to smile wryly, he thought to himself what is this called...
Cheng Meixin looked at her younger brother and sneered secretly: What did you say earlier? Shang Xirui, he is really a lunatic.
