Under the resentment of Prince An, "Fenhe Bay" was finally finished. Older Fujin, on the contrary, did not have so many taboos, probably because the Empress Dowager Cixi never tabooed sorrows and joys when she went to theaters, and shouted loudly: "Reward!" Coming up, Niu Baiwen quickly took it with his own hands, then went backstage and went straight to Shang Xirui, whispering a few words to him. Shang Xirui put in extra effort in acting today, although he didn't put in much physical effort and his throat wasn't tired, but because he got so involved in the play, he was really tired in his heart. Liu Yingchun's tragedy made him heartbroken. Niu Baiwen asked him to have another copy, Shang Xirui was on the verge of tears, thinking that even for Jiu Lang's sake, you can't treat me like an animal, and said plaintively: "Master Niu..."

Niu Baiwen blocked him: "Don't! Boss Shang! Boss Shang! You can't shirk today anyway! You're troubled! I'll come to the house tomorrow to explain to you! Besides, hey, it's all up to you!"

Shang Xirui was stunned for a moment: "It's because of me?"

Niu Baiwen smiled hippiely, and said loudly: "It's also my fault, I underestimated the two actors! Who would have thought that the two could play "Fenhe Wan" so well! It made everyone cry! Hey! Don't talk about the seats I've seen so many good shows! I cried today!" Pointing to his eyelids: "Look at the eyes are still swollen." He also took the opportunity to flatter Hou Yukui, and bowed to Hou Yukui while talking, Hou Yukui I don't care. Niu Baiwen turned around and said to Shang Xirui: "This is a birthday banquet, you made everyone cry, I have to make money back! Who here is qualified to make money?" He made a gesture towards Hou Yukui With a wink, he said softly: "I still want to disturb this master, but how dare I! I have friendship with you."

Shang Xirui thought about it, Niu Baiwen, as Ning Jiulang's disciple, could almost be regarded as his senior brother. When he lived in Prince Qi's Mansion for more than half a year, Niu Baiwen was always very polite to him when he came in and out, and even brought him sugar and white cakes to eat. This friendship is indeed not shallow. Reluctantly nodded. Niu Baiwen slapped his hands: "Successful!" Lifting the curtain, he stepped onto the stage and smiled down, "Boss Shang said that "Fenhewan" is not happy, and I'm afraid that Fujin will be offended. Give me another "Pearl Shirt"!"

The next burst of applause. While waiting for a good show, first perform "Double Back Stool" as a cover. Shang Xirui fixed his makeup in the mirror sullenly. Hou Yukui hadn't touched opium for two or three hours, and by this time, all energy was exhausted. After taking two puffs of big cigarettes and taking a short nap, he opened his eyes to look at the background, and there were ripples in his vision. After Shang Xirui puts on his make-up, it's time to go on stage, he has emerald phoenix crowns, red costumes, peach blossom makeup, watery almond eyes, he is already Princess Cheshire. Hou Yukui hadn't realized that his appearance was so good before. In the smudged light, a beauty in the play made of jewels is shining like a light.

Hou Yukui thought that many years ago, in the backstage of the Nanfu Opera Troupe, he smoked opium and fainted. Ning Jiulang, Shang Juzhen and the others were all there at that time. The young Ning Jiulang was also dressed in such a gorgeous princess dress. He patted his knee and said with a smile: Boss Hou! If you don't dress up, you'll be wrong! Lafayette is going to blame it! Shang Juzhen pulled a long face and said: Let him sleep! Anyway, Lafayette understands him! You just let him sleep! Sleep till dawn! Let's see if he can chop off his head!

In a blink of an eye, the dynasty changed, and the flowers disappeared. The same backstage crowded with actors, the same opium smoke, but in a different place and a different protagonist. Hou Yukui felt that without his old partner, there would be no fun in singing. When he went on stage to face the fledgling youngsters, he couldn't deal with them no matter what. He didn't know if the youngsters were not good enough, or he was too stubborn. After Shang Juzhen and the others left, he seemed to be discouraged. Fortunately, Ning Jiulang supported him. Later, Ning Jiulang concentrated on teaching his apprentices, so he stopped singing altogether and remained silent for a few years, thinking that his fate with opera in this life had come to an end. Unexpectedly, today I can still find some of the excitement of the past, mixed with sadness, and merged into a kind of emotion, which is very complicated.

Shang Xirui is about to take the stage. Hou Yukui lazily said to the bright red back: "Boy, come and sit at home when you are free."

Shang Xirui turned his head with bright eyes, shaking his head so loudly that his head was full of pearls and jewels, he wondered if he had heard wrong, how could Hou Yukui invite him into the room. Of course Hou Yukui would not repeat it again or show any kindness to him, so he closed his eyes and took a nap. Shang Xirui looked at Xiao Lai, Xiao Lai nodded at him with a smile, proving that what he heard was true. Shang Xirui was instantly elated, his previous fatigue was swept away, he went on the stage alive and well, the appearance of his charming Lord Cheshire also lifted the spirits of the audience. Fan Lian and Prince Qi were so excited that they both stood up and applauded.

Cheng Fengtai thought to himself, this little actor is really like taking morphine when he gets involved in acting.

After the performance of "Pearl Shirt", it was almost two o'clock at night. Old Fujin rewarded another plate of silver dollars, which was given to Boss Shang by name. According to visual estimation, there are always more than a thousand dollars. She couldn't bear it anymore because she was an older person, so she went to sleep after resigning from the guest. Prince An greeted the distinguished guests one by one and sent them away, Cheng Fengtai and Fan Lian dragged on at the end. Fan Lian smirked and said, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter, you go home and rest? Or... En?"

Cheng Fengtai gave him a sideways glance: "What nonsense!" Then he left his brother-in-law and went backstage.

The backstage actors are almost gone. Cheng Fengtai went in, bumped into Xiao Lai and ran out with a muttering face. Xiao Lai looked up at him, his eyes were a little different from usual, as if panicked and ashamed. Cheng Fengtai smiled and called Miss Xiao Lai, but she ignored her and walked away with her head buried. Out of curiosity, Cheng Fengtai quickly stepped in to have a look, his stomach suddenly burst into anger - Anbeile was standing behind Shang Xirui's chair, his hands were fumbling back and forth in his lapel! Shang Xirui still thought about taking off his head and putting it in the box seriously, without being affected at all. He didn't even shy away from the few remaining actors—that's how his reputation was ruined by himself!

Cheng Fengtai's face darkened at first, and then he immediately put on a smile, walked with heavy steps and shouted: "Boss Shang! Today's play is really good! Your "Fenhe Bay" is really good! Yo! Lord Belle is here too! "

Amber quickly stretched out his hand from Shang Xirui's clothes, with a look of disappointment: "Second Master Cheng is also a fancier?"

"Not so much. Listen to Boss Shang and join in the fun." Cheng Fengtai put his hat on the dressing table, sat on the edge of the table with one leg bent, looked at Shang Xirui, his eyes were full of meaning, a little cold A little angry: "Boss Shang, didn't you promise to tell me a play? Taking advantage of today's heat, how about telling me about Liu Yingchun and Wang Baochuan?"

Shang Xirui didn't feel ashamed at all, smiled: "Okay, Second Master!"

Seeing this, Amber guessed that they would have to entangle for a while, and said lazily, "Come on, let's talk. Boss Shang, let's talk later." After speaking, the boss left unhappy. The remaining actors also left. As soon as they left, Shang Xirui took off his head two or three times, and when he looked up, he met Cheng Fengtai's gaze.

Shang Xirui put on a smirk and said, "Second Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Cheng Fengtai said hesitantly: "I was waiting for you to talk about the play! Boss Shang played the two chaste women so well, I guess the play is as good as they are! Why don't you tell me?" tone. Shang Xirui shook his head in disbelief. It's not easy for Cheng Fengtai to get angry, after all he and Shang Xirui are not to that extent. Now their relationship is still in its infancy, if you use dating as an example, they just got started, and it's his turn to lose temper with Shang Xirui's personal affairs. Staring with big eyes and small eyes for a while, Cheng Fengtai tried hard to digest the anger in his stomach.

At this time, Xiao Lai came in with a servant girl from the palace, carrying Shun Zi in his arms. As soon as the servant girl came, she laughed loudly: "Boss Shang, Shunzi is crazy tonight! He will not be at ease after listening to your play. Old Fujin asked you to hold him for a while and let it calm down." She said to Shangxi Stuffed in Rui's arms, Shunzi lay all over Shang Xirui's chest, barking softly, not to mention the intimacy.

The servant girl quickly glanced at Cheng Fengtai, with a sly look in her eyes, and said wittily, "I'll pick it up after you've finished taking off your makeup! Ah! There's another thing, I'll prepare a car for you later, and ask the driver to pick it up later." Waiting outside the door!"

Cheng Fengtai looked at Shang Xirui, smiled at her: "Please tell me, don't bother me, I'll take Boss Shang home along the way."

The servant girl agreed and withdrew. Being disturbed like this, the stiff atmosphere just now was washed away. Cheng Fengtai touched Shunzi's butt with his fingers, Shunzi didn't agree with him, and turned his head to bite him.

Shang Xirui smiled bitterly: "Yes! Bite him! This bad guy!"

Cheng Fengtai withdrew his hand, and also smiled: "If I say something, I will become a bad person?"

Shang Xirui said: "You are mocking me!"

Cheng Fengtai frowned, and gritted his teeth: "I'm so angry! Are you willing to be touched by him like this? You don't know how to escape, let others bully you!"

Shang Xirui felt strange instead: "Ambele didn't bully me, he flattered me! So what if you touch it twice, it won't lose a piece of meat."

Cheng Fengtai was in a hurry: "You just don't care about this news getting out, how will the big newspapers and tabloids write about you?"

Shang Xirui snorted softly: "Write as you like! I don't care!"

Hearing what he said, Cheng Fengtai's pent-up anger flared up again, and he felt that he was really stupid and stupid, and he didn't know how to feel sorry for himself, it was just nonsense. Shunzi seemed to understand human speech, in order to respond to his words, she raised her head and licked his face twice. Shang Xirui couldn't dodge, the corner of his mouth was licked, but he was so disgusted, he took Shunzi's tail and threw it to the ground, snorted, then wiped his face vigorously with a towel. Shunzi looked back at Shang Xirui aggrievedly, then trotted out whining, people looked at it and thought it was crying sadly.

Cheng Fengtai felt wronged by Shunzi, and said with a smile: "Boss Shang, Shunzi is also your fancier, right? It also praises you, right? You won't lose a piece of meat if you lick it twice."

Shang Xirui said: "I don't want a beast to lick me."

Cheng Fengtai asked: "Oh. Then who do you want?"

Cheng Fengtai's words are to lure Shang Xirui into the set. Shang Xirui was really into it: "I want you!"

Cheng Fengtai smiled slightly, gearing up to get on it. He supported Shang Xirui's chair back with one hand, propped himself on the dressing table with the other, bent down, forcing Shang Xirui to be immobile. This seems to have happened too fast, they were still talking in anger just now, what are they doing now? Two characters who are always eating and doing in the erotic arena, when they meet each other, it's not like that at all, and their hearts are swollen very much. Cheng Fengtai thought to himself that his face must be a little red now. Shang Xirui's face was already flushed, but it couldn't be seen under the makeup.

Cheng Fengtai moved closer and saw that Shang Xirui's breath was fragrant, smelling like orchids. Kissing like that bit by bit, the lips that smell of orchids are bitter in the mouth - the rouge of that layer of drama makeup. Shang Xirui's lips were a little cold, like flowers blooming in the middle of the night.

Cheng Fengtai pushed Shang Xirui's silver teeth with the tip of his tongue, gently took Shang Xirui's tongue in his mouth and sucked it. Shang Xirui trembled all over, stretched out his hands to wrap around Cheng Fengtai's shoulders, his breathing became hotter, he grabbed Cheng Fengtai's shirt collar into a ball and wrinkled it, biting wildly. He had had some affairs with other people, but now it seems that the real knife and gun on the bed is not as exciting as Cheng Fengtai's kiss.

If they accidentally fired their guns now, it might be a little troublesome in someone else's house. Fortunately, Prince Qi showed up in time, and I don't know if he hid there and peeked and ran out to interrupt when he saw the two of them getting angry, or it was a coincidence.

"Rui Guaner! Rui Guaner! Your acting has improved again! Good!"

Shang Xirui immediately pushed Cheng Fengtai away, Cheng Fengtai cursed softly: "Fuck..."

Prince Qi had a book in his left hand and a box in his right. When he came in and saw Cheng Fengtai, he smiled and said, "Yo! Second Master Cheng is here too! I haven't seen you yet!"

Cheng Fengtai said in his heart that your set is not new, I used it with Amber just now: "The prince hasn't rested yet?"

"I can't rest!" Prince Qi put the things in his hand on the table: "The train is early in the morning, thinking that I will see Boss Shang tonight anyway—Guan Rui, look, this book is given to you by Jiulang. I want you to take a good look at the new play you wrote, and write to him if you have any thoughts. This box is made of sea pearl powder. Now that you have money, you can’t buy such a good one. Jiulang is reluctant to eat it, so I will save it for you. Hey! On the train, I was thinking, don’t be stopped by the police, or you will be caught as a prostitute.”

Shang Xirui quickly stood up to thank him, wiped his mouth repeatedly with a towel. The color of his lips has long been blurred by Cheng Fengtai's rubbing, but now it looks like it is trying to cover up. He's still out of breath!

Prince Qi looked at him with a smile, and said: "Jiulang asked me to meet you in person and say hello. I think you are fatter and taller than the previous two years." Ning Jiulang didn't ask Qin Yanshe, just Ask Shang Xirui. It can be seen that his love for Shang Xirui is really extraordinary.

Shang Xirui said: "Hey! Thank you for always thinking about me. Tell him that I'm great."

Prince Qi said: "Okay, I'll tell him. Are you okay in the next half hour? Then quickly remove your makeup! I'll take you back. By the way, I'll bring the string to Jiulang. I want the one used by your 'literary master'."

Shang Xirui agreed, and regretfully said to Cheng Fengtai: "Second Master, you go back first. Let's talk about our show another day."

It's really tit for tat. In Shang Xirui's words, there is a secret code that makes people smile. Cheng Fengtai put on his hat, his face stretched longer than before Amber's: "Okay. Then I'll take my leave." Before leaving, he stared at the Eight Banners orphan. Secretly thought that I will remember you, Prince Qi.
