The three of them were joking upstairs, arguing with each other. Cheng Feng's businessman Xirui washed his hands and face, and re-made five people and six people. Fan Lian saw that Shang Xirui's expression became more and more natural, so he started to feel guilty, and insisted on standing at the door of the bathroom to watch Shang Xirui wash his face, to make up for his regret that he never went backstage to watch Shang Xirui take off his makeup. This is nonsense. Back then in Pingyang, he often ran backstage.

Shang Xirui couldn't do anything about him, splashing water on his face, he said: "I really don't understand you, what's there to watch? You also like to take off your makeup, and you like to eat a bowl of noodles with fried sauce Look." Judging by his tone, Fan Lian has quite a few fans. Amidst their inexplicable persistence, Shang Xirui's eating, drinking, and messing around seem to be worth watching.

Cheng Fengtai said: "He is just so ignorant. From now on, you should stop singing and show them a job!"

Shang Xirui thought about it, and felt that it was actually quite beautiful to kill two birds with one stone.

Fan Lian said: "Yes, my brother-in-law is not as knowledgeable as I am. Boss Shang will let you see everything he should see or not."

Cheng Fengtai glanced at him: "Didn't you also see it today?"

Shang Xirui's face was dripping with water, he raised his head and squinted at Fan Lian, planning that if Fan Lian said he saw his ass, he would pounce on him and beat him to death. Fan Lian is so smart, he knew that his brother-in-law had dug a hole for him to jump into, and when Shang Xirui stared at him so vigilantly, he was so scared that he immediately denied it: "What did I see, Boss Shang? I saw you asshole Already!"

Shang Xirui laughed, continued to lower his head and wash his face, anyway, Cheng Fengtai's rough skin is worthless, he saw it when he saw it.

Cheng Fengtai put on airs and yelled strangely: "You bastard! It's useless to be taken advantage of by you like this!"

When he used to work naked in the small mansion, there was nothing that no one saw. He was so generous that he was perverted, but now he pretended to be a serious person. Fan Lian laughed and said, "You should figure it out! It's always been said that seeing a copulation is bad luck, why do you still seem to be at a disadvantage!"

Shang Xirui finished washing his face, dried it in front of the mirror, interjected: "We also have this saying in Pingyang, tearing the crotch can resolve it!"

Cheng Fengtai slapped his hands: "It's no problem!" He stepped forward and pressed Fan Lian to resolve it for him. Fan Lian is also a young master who can't lift his hands or shoulders. He has the same strength as Cheng Fengtai, and he can hang around for a while, but the movement is really scary. He covered his crotch with his hands and resisted desperately. girl. However, Fan Lian's birthday banquet was destined to be full of twists and turns before the banquet even started. The door was knocked twice and opened uninvited. Fan Jinling was stunned when he came in, and couldn't help being stunned when he saw the scene in front of him: "Brother! What are you doing..." Cheng Fengtai turned his head and saw the person Fan Jinling was holding, he was also stunned, and quickly walked from Fan Jinling's hand. Lian got up: "It's okay, I'm just kidding with your brother. Why did Chacha'er come here? Who brought you here?"

Chacha'er wore two twisted braids, a light blue flag dress made of Shu brocade, a stone blue pleated skirt, and a pair of black leather shoes. At first glance, it looks like the uniform of female students nowadays, but standing next to Fan Jinling in a full suit of western clothes, it shows the full style of the second grandma. Dressing like this is good-looking, but young ladies from rich families like them generally don't like to wear the two-piece flag dress besides the uniform cheongsam and western dress, which is outdated.

Chacha'er let go of Fan Jinling's hand, didn't say hello to anyone, and sat down on the imperial concubine's couch with a face, sulking. Compared to when Shang Xirui first met her, Chacha'er has grown into a big girl, with white skin, hair and eyes that are darker amber than Han people. She bears no resemblance to her siblings, but is still very beautiful, an impersonal, hard beauty. Shang Xirui came out of the bathroom, she seemed to have forgotten about the actor, she didn't even look at him, she just looked at Cheng Fengtai: "Brother, do you still care about me?"

Cheng Fengtai smiled almost obsequiously: "Don't worry! You are my own sister, how can I ignore you? Why are you upset that you ran out alone? Have you talked to your sister-in-law?"

Chacha'er turned her head angrily, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fan Jinling sat down beside her, and said, "Sister probably doesn't know yet. Chacha'er came here by herself in a rickshaw, and didn't bring the money for the car with her. It's because the concierge remembered her and brought her in with money." .”

The two girls sat on the same chair that they had just shared, embarrassing their brothers. Fan Lian cleared his throat with a cough, and cast a contemptuous glance at Cheng Fengtai, and decided to find a worker to throw it out tomorrow, it's really disgusting to put it here. Cheng Fengtai has always been brazen and shameless. Shang Xirui didn't respond to that either. Shang Xirui just stared at Fan Jinling with a vicious expression. Fan Jinling also noticed that he was looking at her, and he seemed to be staring at her naked arm, thinking that this stinky opera singer is so unruly when he looks at girls' eyes! He gouged out his eyes bitterly and threw it over. Because she is very close to Jiang Mengping, she hates Shang Xirui from the bottom of her heart when she sees him, and others treat him as a character, so she forgives him for beautifying him, she doesn't buy it! I really can't figure out how this kind of absurd, vicious and intolerable person can become famous, get married, and be sought after by all, let alone her brother and brother-in-law, who really don't know right from wrong.

Cheng Fengtai asked his sister very concerned: "Did your sister-in-law scold you?"

Chachaer said: "It's better to scold me! My sister-in-law forced me to learn how to cook!"

"Ouch! Learning to cook!" Fan Lian exclaimed. Fan Jinling also looked at Chacha'er in amazement, she hadn't even touched the side of the stove, and Miss Cheng Jiasan wanted to learn how to cook! Really unheard of.

"A few days ago, I was forced to learn embroidery! How to embroider 'double lotus'! I pierced six out of ten fingers!" She stretched out her hand and shook it towards Cheng Fengtai, and there are still two fingertips wrapped in thin gauze: " You have to teach me how to cook today! I’m choking to death! I’m here to find you!”

Whenever Chacha'er and Second Mistress had conflicts, Fan Jinling couldn't help but feel lucky. When Fan Jinling was still young, she only knew that the Cheng family's pushback made her sister very sad about the marriage. One day my sister told her while pulling her hair that she would stay at home for the rest of her life and never marry anyone. Fan Jinling was extremely happy! But within a few years, the Cheng family still married her sister, and she hated Cheng Fengtai for a while. Now it seems that the elder sister's marriage also has the advantages of being married, otherwise Chacha'er's experience today would probably have fallen on her.

Cheng Fengtai persuaded in a gentle tone: "Well, you can't blame your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law mentioned it to me, saying that you don't have to do these girls' things, but you have to. I think it's not wrong. ! In the future, you will start a family and start a business by yourself, wouldn’t it be good if you know how to cook with some female celebrities?”

When Chachaer heard it, it turns out that your husband and wife are together! Standing up suddenly, he was furious: "I don't like doing these things! I want to go to school!"

Cheng Fengtai smiled softly and persuaded: "Yes! Go to school! How can you not go to school!"

Chacha'er said angrily: "You promised well! You still drag on every day! Is this so difficult?!"

Cheng Fengtai didn't want to disobey the Second Mistress, nor did he want his younger sister to be wronged, so he felt very troubled, so he could only sigh and smile. Fan Lian saw that Cheng Fengtai had no temper at all being bullied by his younger sister, and thought that this little girl, Chacha'er, was getting more and more fierce, so she smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, Chachaer is not in a hurry, this matter I'll keep an eye on your brother for you. If he doesn't care, I'll tell my sister! Okay? I'm your brother too! Jin Ling'er, take my sister down for dinner first! Let's not be pretentious today. Let's go down too! Boss Shang, please!"

Shang Xirui nodded. A group of people went out, the Fan brothers and sister coaxed Chacha'er to walk in front, Shang Xirui dragged Cheng Fengtai to the small balcony, without saying a word, first slapped him on the chest: "What did Fan Jinling do?" Something happened!"

Cheng Fengtai held his chest and grinned in pain: "What's wrong with Jin Ling? She provoked you again? You can't talk to me properly!"

Shang Xirui roared in a low voice: "Why is she wearing Jiang Mengping's bracelet!"

Cheng Fengtai never paid attention to the clothes worn by the female relatives. Since he started the silk business, he at most took a look at the fashionable materials: "Oh? The bracelet is Jiang Mengping's, so what's the matter? Girls get better and give each other jewelry unusual?"

Mentioning the reason for this bracelet made Shang Xirui furious: "Normal! That bracelet was left to her by Jiang Mengping's mother! What a treasure she is! Why did she give it to Fan Jinling! What the hell did they do?" what relationship!"

Cheng Fengtai watched Shang Xirui sweating with excitement, and was silent for a while. Jiang Mengping is a nail in Shang Xirui's heart, whenever he touches it, he can make the actor jump: "The two of them are very close."

"Very good is much better!"

Cheng Fengtai hesitated whether he should tell Shang Xirui what he had concealed, and Shang Xirui also noticed that he hadn't understood what he said, several times of urging didn't work, and he had a seizure. He is really two people outside and inside. In front of fellow fanciers outside, what a friendly and tolerant person, low-key and polite, lazy to talk, never easily get anxious, really has everyone's demeanor. To Cheng Fengtai, people who look like seven-year-old children dislike dogs. Purely a two-faced! Cheng Fengtai's three sons added together, still can't match this one's rowdy vigor. Cheng Fengtai doesn't advocate people who beat children, seeing Shang Xirui making a fuss without hesitation, why did his palms itch so much. While closing the window on the balcony, afraid that someone would pass by and listen, he warned with a straight face: "Don't make trouble, I'll tell you! This is someone else's house! How many guests are there below!"

"I know you slept with me just now at someone else's house!" Shang Xirui was in a hurry and couldn't choose what to say.

Cheng Fengtai paused, then spat: "Don't be shameless, you!"

The two of them tossed and answered such meaningless dirty words over and over again, and suddenly fell silent again. Cheng Fengtai leaned on the railing, took out a cigarette, and said with a smile: "I remember when I first met Boss Shang, Boss Shang would act like a baby with me. Why is it that the more we know each other and the better we get along now, the harder your temper will be with me! "

Shang Xirui smiled when he heard Cheng Fengtai's tone, he knew he was letting up, so he also leaned against the fence. He also doesn't know why the better the relationship, the easier it is to quarrel, he and others are obviously not like this.

Cheng Fengtai said: "Tell you about your senior sister, and obediently go down with me for dinner after you finish talking, don't make trouble. I brought you here to relax, the more you relax, the more boring you will be!"

Shang Xirui nodded, and gave an indifferent graciousness.

Cheng Fengtai said slowly: "As for your senior sister, you know that she is benevolent and caring, with a lot of maternal love. When I was with you in the past, I spoiled you and broke up with you. When I saw a Jinling girl who was as childish as you, I pampered you." Miss Jinling."

Shang Xirui was furious for a moment: "Like me? How is she like me?! She's just a slut!"

"Look at you! You promised well just now, what are you in a hurry for?" Cheng Fengtai looked at him, smoking a cigarette while smiling: "You know better than me what kind of person your senior sister is. She saw two little boys in my family who were not loved. I like them all so much, not to mention that Jin Ling is innocent and innocent, and she can be coquettish and tiresome. Her heart and soul for your senior sister are not much worse than you were before, and your senior sister loves her terribly. The age is not far behind, I think this means that your senior sister must accept Jin Ling as her daughter."

Shang Xirui took a few heavy breaths of anger, and suddenly shouted: "Fan Jinling is worthy of being compared with me! I regard Jiang Mengping as a bosom friend! They are playing house! How can they be worthy of being compared with me!" After shouting, he cried out in pain Clutching her belly, she squatted down and sweated profusely: "I treat her as a confidant! She treats me like a pet toy! A doll! Even a Fan Jinling can replace me! She doesn't understand what I mean by that. her heart!"

Knowing that he was about to fall ill again, Cheng Fengtai stomped out the cigarette butt, bent down and pulled him twice. He hugged his knees and was nailed to the ground like a stone pier, but he couldn't move him. Cheng Fengtai exerted all his strength and pulled him hard, finally dragged him up, staggered a few steps and bumped his waist against the stone railing, excruciating pain.

Shang Xirui put his arms around Cheng Fengtai, buried his face in his chest, sobbed: "Hate me to death!"

Cheng Fengtai pressed his head, kissed his ear, and said with a soft smile: "I really hate you! Child."

Shang Xirui was gasping for breath like he was choking in his arms, shivering slightly.

When the two of them went down to eat, everyone had already moved their chopsticks. Fan Lian reserved two seats next to each other for them at the chairman's table. When everyone saw them, they naturally exchanged greetings and compliments. It's just that Shang Xirui's spirit completely drooped, he forced a smile to everyone sullenly, turned around and saw Fan Jinling laughing, and stared at her angrily. Cheng Fengtai smacked his lips, bumped his arm, pushed him to the chair and sat down, scooped up a bowl of shark fin soup for him to drink, hoping that he would put aside his hatred for the sake of delicious food.

The two of them came late, and there were others who were later than them. Du Qi came late in a personable manner, with a long attendant behind him holding a gift, entered the hall, snapped his fingers and pointed to one side, the long follower handed the gift to the housekeeper in the direction, took off his hat, and the corner of his mouth Yiqiao: "I'm sorry Erye Fan, I'm late."

Fan Lian didn't like Du Qi very much in his heart. It is forgivable that the actors are a bit aggressive, but Du Qi, a scholar and a professor in a university hall, is as aggressive as the actors, which is a low character. Such a ruthless literati with a heart as fine as a needle's eye is not worthy of close friendship, he thinks a man with a broad heart like Chang Zhixin Cheng Fengtai is cuter. But after all, Fan Lian is very good at dealing with the situation. Usually when we meet each other, he still talks and laughs happily. He is a good friend. The seat on the chair here is full, Fan Lian hastily called for an extra seat, Xue Qianshan moved the chair, and said, "Seventh Young Master can sit here."

Du Qi ignored it, pointed to Shang Xirui's side, and said to the servant who moved the chair: "Put it here."

Cheng Fengtai moved the chair and dishes without looking good. Shang Xirui was a little happy to see Du Qi: "Master Seven! You're here! How are you doing?" Du Qi was used to frivolity, sat down and saw a drop of soup on the corner of Shang Xirui's mouth, stretched out his hand to scrape it with his thumb , put it into his own mouth and sucked it, and said with a smile: "Very good! My boss Shang."

Cheng Fengtai gets bored looking at him!

For a while, the guests and the host had a good time. Everyone stood up and toasted to wish Fan Lian a happy life every year. Fan Lian glanced at Cheng Fengtai and Shang Xirui, thinking that it would be embarrassing to have these two mixed up on this birthday. After drinking a glass and was about to sit down, Xue Qianshan said loudly: "Everyone, sit down slowly! Fill up, fill up!"

Everyone looked at his rosy face, as if he had something happy to announce. Sure enough, Xue Qianshan said: "Taking advantage of Second Master Fan's good day today, I will be honored! Let everyone know that Xue is going to marry his concubine on the eighteenth of this month! If you are free, you will be honored Come have a glass of wedding wine!"

Fan Lian had talked with him about Wuche just now, but he hadn't heard him mention it, and the rest of the people didn't know about it. Xue Qianshan is no better than Cheng Fengtai and Fan Lian leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. He is diligent in doing business and takes care of everything by himself. He hardly stays at home in Peiping often, so there is very little gossip about him in Peiping. Just look at him marrying nine concubines one after another, he is even more arrogant than Commander Cao, including the current one, it just makes up the whole number.

Immediately someone asked: "Second Master Xue, which family is the new wife from?"

"I always saw you marrying a wife so quietly! Xue Er! Don't be someone who robs people's daughters by force!"

Everyone joked with Xue Qianshan with great interest and made fun of him. Although it is common for them to have three wives and four concubines, rich people only guard one wife to keep themselves clean, secretly always arouse all kinds of speculation and attention from everyone, either making up people's fear of internal affairs, or making up people's hidden diseases, hypocrites. But Xue Qianshan seems to be a little too diligent in marrying, which has become another kind of joke.

Cheng Fengtai and Fan Lian looked at each other, with a little disdain in their eyes, thinking that to get a concubine, they need to be announced at other people's birthday parties, which is too embarrassing. Shang Xirui faintly felt that he was in a delicate mood, not because he liked Xue Qianshan or something. Since entering Beiping City, Xue Qianshan has always expressed his loyalty to his unilateral alliance, and pursued him very enthusiastically. Shang Xirui is also used to being chased like this, so he doesn't take it very seriously, he only sees him as an ordinary fancier with a lot of money. But seeing him happy and having a new love today, I still feel a little bit damaged in self-esteem and charm, which is really an unspeakable emotion. If Cheng Fengtai judged this, he would definitely say: Vanity! This is the vanity of an actor!

Everyone was still waiting for Xue Qianshan to talk about the new wife, but Du Qi had already picked up his chopsticks and was expressionlessly drinking and eating meat. Xue Qianshan glanced at Du Qi with a smile, stopped on Shang Xirui, filled Shang Xirui's glass of wine himself, and said, "Where's my new wife, that's—hey! Boss Shang, come here, raise the glass !"

Everyone couldn't understand, why did he marry his concubine and Boss Shang? Could this mean marrying Boss Shang as a male concubine

Shang Xirui raised his glass in confusion and stood up, blushing a little shyly under such unanimous attention. Cheng Fengtai cursed inwardly: You are fucking ashamed of him!

Xue Qianshan said: "I respect Boss Shang for this cup! Thanks to Boss Shang's conditioning of Er Yuehong for so many years! Boss Shang, come, I'll do it first!"

Everyone was in an uproar. Xue Qianshan took a fancy to the actress from Shuiyun Tower, which was unexpected and reasonable. There are many girls in Shuiyunlou, and they are very famous. The general destination of opera girls is to marry a rich man and become concubines after becoming famous. Therefore, Shuiyun Tower was ridiculed as the birthplace of concubines and concubines in Peiping. But this Er Yuehong has just made her debut in recent years, and she sings so well in the boudoir, it can be seen that Shang Xirui is determined to praise the role, and she hasn't sung well yet, she's about to wash her hands and get married ? How could Shang Xirui be reconciled!

Of course Shang Xirui was not reconciled, he held up the wine glass in a daze, wondering if he should drink it or not. Xue Qianshan happily did it all, and flashed the bottom of the cup at Shang Xirui. Shang Xirui didn't have any subtle emotions left at this moment, his heart was filled with the shock of being robbed in public, he thought that Er Yuehong and Xue Qianshan got married... I raised her for so long! How come you don't know!

Du Qi snatched Shang Xirui's wine glass and slapped it on the table, the action was so rough that the wine spilled out, then he pulled Shang Xirui's sleeve to sit on the seat, not saving Xue Qianshan any face. Shang Xirui was still in a daze, Cheng Fengtai looked at him and smiled, and scooped him another bowl of shark's fin soup, already thinking about it.

Xue Qianshan pondered Shang Xirui's expression, and said: "Boss Shang, don't blame me for poaching. I'm away all year round, so I can't honor my mother. My mother prefers to listen to Er Yuehong's voice. I have to make this kind of relationship just for the sake of filial piety." .”

Xue Qianshan tried to marry all the women he had had sex with at home and give them a title to support him. Honoring his mother is not a lie. Announcing the marriage in public shows determination, Shang Xirui will not necessarily tear himself apart for a powerful businessman like Er Yuehong and Xue Qianshan. Shang Xirui was very unhappy, he was in a hurry to ask Yuan Lan Nineteen and the others after dinner. Cheng Fengtai naturally had to accompany him around, Fan Lian originally wanted to keep them playing mahjong twice, Cheng Fengtai pouted at the dejected Shang Xirui: "Apart from sleeping with me today, he was a little refreshed, nothing else happened to him. Don't keep him, you won't have any fun if you stay, and if someone turns back and gives him a wink, he will offend your guest again."

Fan Lian thought of Shang Xirui and his affairs, and quickly got up to send them out. Du Qi held a cigarette crookedly in his mouth, walked ahead with his arms around Shang Xirui's shoulders, and said as he saw him off: "That girl Er Yuehong is not bad - she is not bad! Come in with the batch The actors are not bad for her, so don't feel sorry for her. Anyway, the girl won't be able to sing for a few years and she still has to get married, and you're all Yu Qing!"

Shang Xirui opened his mouth to argue. Du Qi said: "I know, you feel that the painstaking efforts you've put into her for the past two years have been wasted, you haven't worked hard enough, and you can't be angry. Xue Qianshan is a bastard, with so many theater troupes in Peking, he must have his eyes on you." I can't be angry either! Don't worry, I'll help you kill him!"

Shang Xirui nodded obediently under the protection of the splash, believing that Du Qi would definitely be able to kill Xue Qianshan.

Along the way, Shang Xirui was also unhappy, and Chacha'er was also unhappy, so there was nothing to say along the way. Cheng Fengtai sent Shang Xirui to the place first, and gave a few instructions. Then he went home with Chachaer and apologized to Second Mistress. The second grandmother was so angry that she wiped her tears, Chacha'er begged in every possible way, the aunt and sister-in-law were hypocritical for a long time, and even the fourth aunt came to persuade her to make peace. The atmosphere at home was so tense, so of course it was inconvenient to go out at night, so I checked the homework of the two eldest sons, hugged the third young master, and finally brought up the old matter of Chacha'er going to school with the second grandmother.

The two of them had huge and irreconcilable differences on the education of their children. In order not to make the second grandmother angry, Cheng Fengtai did not dare to take too much care of the three sons' basic necessities of life. When the Second Mistress was unhappy with him, she had made it clear that although the child was obtained through their joint efforts, she was the main credit for being pregnant in October. Cheng Fengtai is only entitled to second-class rights, he is only allowed to care, not to interfere. She has a set of standard feudal ideas from beginning to end, and she is very advanced in thinking about children alone, and dares to challenge the tradition. However, Cha Cha'er is not her child after all, no matter how deep her affection for her sister-in-law is, she has no right to control her. As she spoke, she threw the scissors in her hands into the basket in a fit of anger, and said, "I have never refused to let you go." Chacha’er is studying, I don’t want her to go to school! How messy it is outside now! If a boy learns badly and then corrects it, it’s called a prodigal son who won’t change his money! If a girl makes a mistake, her life will be over !"

Cheng Fengtai felt that the second grandma was absolutely alarmist, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about that, when Chachaer enters the school, I asked Lao Ge's daughter to keep an eye on her. I asked, the upper grade and the lower grade are only one floor apart. And It’s a girls’ school with few male teachers, so what’s so scary about it?”

This matter dragged on for several years, Second Mistress saw that Cheng Fengtai had made up his mind this time, and could not change it. Cheng Fengtai ignored him, hugged the child and coaxed him.

Cheng Fengtai said: "The third child is over two years old, so there is no need to hold him all the time. You are not in good health, so take it to the nanny."

The second grandma ignored her. Once she was really angry, she held her head high with half-closed eyelids, especially a kind of arrogance and coldness. No matter how good Cheng Fengtai says, it won't work, and he won't soften until he forgets about it after a long time. Cheng Fengtai would rather have a quarrel in full swing than to be so cold, so that his heart is not at ease, and he dare not take a breath. The acquaintance went to bed early that day.
