The second mistress was thinking about Zhao Yuanzhen the night before, but at noon the next day, Zhao Yuanzhen called without talking. Cheng Fengtai is very active in answering the phone now, even if the call is from the small mansion, be careful if the second grandma hears it. Hearing it was Zhao Yuanzhen's voice, Cheng Fengtai laughed before saying anything, and said in Shanghai dialect: "It's you! How are you doing recently? Is the medicine helpful?" After listening for a while, he smiled and said, "Are you a real person?" It's a bit heartless, and it's rare to find me once in a thousand years, just to use me!" It turned out that the western medicine she entrusted Cheng Fengtai to bring from abroad was stuck on some road, but now the internal and external situation is chaotic, and western medicine is a very sensitive thing. There were not a few bottles, all of which she kept for her own use, so she was anxious to wait.
Second Mistress walked out from the wing with her hair in a bun, Cheng Fengtai didn't have time to gossip with Zhao Yuanzhen, and hurriedly said: "I'll call later to ask, these two days you ask the servant to take care of the dog, wait for the door , I'll send someone to send it to you as soon as possible. Is there anything wrong? I'll hang up if nothing happens. Take care!"
Second Mistress heard Cheng Fengtai speak his hometown dialect, and then heard dogs, western medicine, body, and the faint female voice in the microphone, she knew who it was over there, she snatched it, stared at Cheng Fengtai, and must speak on the phone. Cheng Fengtai had no choice but to yell over there: "Wait a while, my wife will talk to you."
Second Mistress made some mental preparations before she cautiously smiled and said, "Hello, Ms. Zhao, I'm Mrs. Cheng. How are you doing? How's your health?" Anyone who knows Zhao Yuanzhen's health is an inevitable and natural opening line up. Zhao Yuanzhen was probably also stunned at the other end. Although there were conflicts between her and Second Mistress, she never turned face to face. Cheng Fengtai heard Zhao Yuanzhen change the tone of his voice through the receiver, extremely hypocritical, trying to express that he was turning the corner to safety. Second Mistress then had a cordial conversation with her, seeming to be rambling, but in fact she secretly inquired about her current life and financial situation. As she expected, Zhao Yuanzhen was exactly as it was ten years ago, and everything was about the same as when they left Shanghai. The same thing didn't improve, so he said softly: "It's not cold in Beiping now, if Ms. Zhao is comfortable, come to Beiping to have fun, it's very convenient to live in our house, let Fengtai accompany you to go shopping around, and relieve yourself." relieve boredom."
Cheng Fengtai looked at Second Mistress, who turned around not to look at him.
Zhao Yuanzhen's usual visit to the main road is a big project with medicine and water, and he will definitely not be invited to Beiping. Cheng Fengtai was tired of seeing her for more than ten years, and she was also very tired of seeing Cheng Fengtai. On the spot, she said that there might be a life-and-death test after the beginning of autumn. At this time, she needs to take care of her and prepare for the battle, so she should not take it lightly. Second Mistress said very kindly: "Okay, then you will take good care of it, and if you need any difficult medicine, just tell Fengtai. There are a few imperial doctors here in Beiping who are very good. Please send me the pulse report tomorrow, and I will find someone to get it." Go ask, and make a prescription to eat." Zhao Yuanzhen was there to thank him, and the two of them stayed polite for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Cheng Fengtai felt embarrassed when he saw that their cats gave the mouse a happy new year greeting. The second grandmother still had a slight smile on her lips, and said with satisfaction: "She is really knowledgeable and reasonable! She is polite like me, and she is very good at treating people." Her thinking changed, and her attitude towards people changed completely. Against the backdrop of Shang Xirui, a living monster, Zhao Yuanzhen is a living fairy! Zhao's family and Cheng's family are on the same level, neighbors have been doing it for several years, and it has been observed that Zhao Yuanzhen is also a peaceful person who does not go out of the door and does not step out of the door. People can see it! Moreover, it is difficult for Zhao Yuanzhen to have children. It seems that she is a bit reluctant to sleep with a man. But Second Mistress had great confidence in her, believed that she was different from her own knowledge, she was a modern-minded urban woman with extraordinary wisdom, she could tie Cheng Fengtai without relying on that kind of thing. Because when he was in Shanghai in the past, Cheng Fengtai and his wife and sister had no words to talk to each other, they just liked to listen to her advice and had long talks with her. The more Second Mistress thought about it, the more plausible it became. She even thought about how to persuade Zhao Yuanzhen's mother and how to arrange for Zhao Yuanzhen's big hunting dog. She really regretted why she used her temper to block the two of them at the beginning, but it was just to support one more person to talk with Cheng Fengtai, with her own means, couldn't she still control a concubine? The commotion is now an opportunity for bastards like Shang Xirui to take advantage of. Second Mistress thought about this, and said to Cheng Fengtai: "She is very pitiful as an orphan and widowed, and you can talk again, so you should care about her."
Cheng Fengtai knew that Second Mistress was serious this time, and would not let it go.
Second Mistress decided on her own to make Zhao Yuanzhen her own, and her heart was fixed accordingly, she no longer restricted Cheng Fengtai from going out. Cheng Fengtai jumped faster than a rabbit, and this time was the time to go to Shuiyun Tower to meet Mao, Cheng Fengtai was not happy, and when he saw Shang Xirui, he said: "Who came up with the bad idea to sing "War Wancheng"? You come here." How good is the Princess Heyang in "Shuang Tou Tang"?" He now knows a lot about two Beijing operas.
Shang Xirui sang Zou's this time, and he sang exactly to the level of his expectations. He dared to say that this part of the play was completely done by him, there is no one from the past, and there is no one to come. He could simply change his name to Zou Xirui to commemorate it. Just don't know how to be proud! Cheng Fengtai ran away for two days while watching the play, but unexpectedly came up with such a sentence! How dare you find fault with his play! Shang Xirui was furious and didn't ask carefully, he spat at him face to face: "Yeah!!! You know how to play a fart! Tell me what a fart! Get lost!" The two farts collapsed Cheng Fengtai When he broke out of the backstage, he almost fell into a big somersault.
Cheng Fengtai felt depressed, so he went to see Zeng Aiyu in the small mansion with a sad face, but Zeng Aiyu was not in a hurry, and when he saw him coming, he immediately became sicker and yelled to go to the hospital. Cheng Fengtai drove her to the hospital for a check-up, and helped her up and down. For some reason, since she was pregnant, she has been busy with Cheng Fengtai. She has become more and more arrogant every day. How kind she was in the past Understanding! Sending Zeng Aiyu home, Cheng Fengtai was so angry that he hung up a phone call to Fan Lian: "The old place at seven o'clock, don't talk nonsense, come out!" He wanted to use Zeng Aiyu's strength to find fault with Fan Lian.
Not in vain, Fan Lian even brought Chang Zhixin along. Cheng Fengtai hadn't arrived yet, the two of them had already drank a glass of wine happily, and didn't take Cheng Fengtai's unkindness on the phone at all. After all, Cheng Fengtai was still polite to Chang Zhixin, unlike Fan Lian who beat and scolded and spent as much as he wanted, and immediately suppressed his anger a lot, and it was inconvenient to talk about Zeng Aiyu's grievances, so he greeted him with a smile: "Brother brother, why did you come?" Okay, I have something to ask."
Chang Zhixin poured a glass of wine for Cheng Fengtai: "Brother-in-law, I'm ashamed to say it, but I also have something to ask you to do."
Fan Lian forgot that it was time for him to cry and beg for help, and gloated, "Okay! This is just right! You two have taken care of each other's affairs, and you don't have to owe each other favors!"
Cheng Fengtai sat next to Chang Zhixin, and embarrassedly told him about his second grandmother Biao's affair with Shang Xirui, and wanted to ask Jiang Mengping to persuade him: "Don't mention Shang Xirui, Shang Xirui and I are another matter Sister-in-law Ping can get rid of her idea of marrying the concubine. I can't talk to her, it doesn't make sense, and if I talk about it, I will quarrel. I think she has always been able to talk with sister-in-law Ping, only sister-in-law Ping She will listen."
Fan Lian interjected, "Who does Eldest Sister want to marry for you?"
Cheng Fengtai put down his chopsticks: "Zhao Yuanzhen who lives next door to me in Shanghai!"
When Fan Lian heard that there was even a candidate, and it turned out to be Zhao Yuanzhen, he immediately felt that things were a little tricky. Because in his opinion, Zhao Yuanzhen, the young lady, has a poor family and is easily tempted by wealth to take this step. So once this question is formally brought up, there is no hope that the Zhao family will reject it. Second Mistress and the Zhao family have discussed it. Will Cheng Fengtai have to rush the ducks to the shelves
Chang Zhixin shook his head in his heart, hating Shang Xirui even more, thinking that this kid's chaos skills are second to none, where there is him, there will be no peace! But today he can't criticize this, which is what makes him ashamed: "This must be no problem, I will go back and tell Mengping, and Mengping will agree." Then he hesitated and stopped.
Cheng Fengtai said with a smile: "I've finished talking about my troubles, brother, if you need anything, just tell me." Chang Zhixin took a sip of his wine with a smile, but was still ashamed to speak.
Fan Lian looked at Chang Zhixin, poured wine for the two of them, and said, "Third Master Chang would slap him in the face if he wanted to say that. Let me speak for him! It's like this, the situation is tense recently , a boss of the third master came to Peiping. The old man is a die-hard fancier. He came to Peiping not to do business. Please come, this is only knowing one thing, not knowing the other! The third master found me and asked me to invite me, but how can I have such a big face? It's best for you to go! "
Chang Zhixin was extremely ashamed, lowered his head and shook his head: "It's not counted as being too busy at work, but I have to serve Shangfeng. Really, this is the way of the world."
Cheng Fengtai patted him on the shoulder, picked up the wine glass and clinked with him: "The servants in the yamen are like this, there is no one who doesn't buy a peak account." Chang Zhixin had a drink with him with a wry smile. Cheng Fengtai said: "I'll talk about it, but it's a little difficult." Chang Zhixin looked at him, and he said: "If I invite Shang Xirui, you and Sister-in-law Ping won't be able to show up on that day no matter what. , lest he go crazy, and you don't look good."
Chang Zhixin took it very seriously, he also didn't want to see Shang Xirui: "Okay, as long as I can invite him, I'll count it as a job." The two clinked glasses again.
The next day Cheng Fengtai went to the commercial house to look for Shang Xirui, and Du Qi was also there, sipping tea in a small cup in the small courtyard, turning a blind eye to Cheng Fengtai, not perfunctory, just sat and discussed with Shang Xirui: "This time Mrs. Zou praised you to the sky again! The singing is good enough, but don’t be too frightened. Mrs. Zou, as Zhang Ji’s wife, is by no means the only one who is flamboyant. Next time you perform, you have to Do more work on the elegant characters, this time the elegant flavor will fade."
Cheng Fengtai predicted that Shang Xirui would definitely jump up and curse at the street when he heard such critical words, even if he was in favor of Du Qi, he would have to snort twice to express his disdain. Unexpectedly, Shang Xirui bowed his head in thought for a moment, then nodded humbly: "You're right."
Du Qi pointed at him, and said: "Anyway, I dare say that no one in Liyuanxing can surpass you for these characters, just remember to surpass yourself one at a time, and you will be done." Shang Xirui was also thinking I thought so, and I kept nodding my head in agreement. Seeing Cheng Fengtai wandering around and smoking a cigarette, Du Qi said on purpose: "Little opera singers who have become popular at the age of seventeen or eighteen are nothing, they are far behind. Why are you looking at them? Look at them." They have good looks and figures! They are the same as fans. They are really good at singing, I think they must be at least 30, otherwise how can they know what a woman is! That little actor is like a monkey who has lost its hair. You can't even count people!" He said in a long and ambiguous voice: "When you marry a daughter-in-law another day, the acting will definitely be more sophisticated, do you believe me?" Shang Xirui still nodded in agreement , I don’t know if I’ve ever thought about it.
Cheng Fengtai spit out the cigarette end in his mouth and stamped it out on the ground, staring at Du Qi with wide eyes. Satisfied, Du Qi put down his teacup and stood up: "I have to go, there will be a class later! Don't forget to come to school tomorrow afternoon!" Still feeling uneasy after a word of advice, she turned her head and shouted, "Little Come! It's 3:30 tomorrow afternoon! Don't let him forget!" Xiao Lai ran out of the kitchen and agreed with a smile, sent Du Qi out of the door, and then packed away the tea set, also ignoring Cheng Fengtai.
Cheng Fengtai walked up to Shang Xirui, bent down with a half smile: "Boss Shang, do you want to marry a wife and sing in a big show?"
Shang Xirui looked up at him and said solemnly: "No?"
Cheng Fengtai was stunned immediately: "You still want to marry a wife? Just like you still want to marry a wife?"
Shang Xirui stiffened his neck: "What's wrong with me! I'm handsome and rich, and I have a lot of parts, so many girls want to marry me!" It's a fact. Because of his fame, Shang Xirui is very popular with women. As long as he wants, he can hook up with a rich lady like Du Liniang and Wang Baochuan to elope with him at any time. As for whether he can't live a good life after being with him, whether he can be a long-term couple is another matter.
Cheng Fengtai got serious, pulled a chair over and sat opposite him, and began to discuss with him: "Do you think it's so easy to marry a wife? Just leave it at home and give me some money to support her? You think it's like raising a cat." What about a dog! Even if you have a cat and a dog, you still have to stroke it from time to time and lead it around, not to mention a big living person! If things don’t go your way, let’s see if she doesn’t make trouble for you!”
Shang Xirui was so gentle to Du Qi just now, but stubborn and smelly to Cheng Fengtai: "Then why did you marry!"
Cheng Fengtai sighed: "So I came here, I advise you!"
Shang Xirui raised his face, purely to argue: "No, if you marry, I have to marry too." After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Did Second Mistress mess with you? What did she say about me when I got home the other day?" ?”
He wholeheartedly thought that even if Second Grandma didn't really praise him, she wouldn't hate him after seeing him perform so well. Cheng Fengtai couldn't tell the truth to him, and didn't want to fool him, so he smiled helplessly: "Second Grandma didn't say anything about you, she just asked me what kind of thing you were conceived by."
Shang Xirui really couldn't hear a good word, nodded: "Boss Shang, fairy fetus!"
Cheng Fengtai laughed twice: "Okay, Immortal. If you don't want to go to the theater tonight, let's go to the movies and eat steak!" He patted his thigh with one hand: "I brought you two cans of Cadbury in the car."
Shang Xirui heard that there was eating and playing, so he left, holding the chocolate pot along the way and chewing so much that his stomach became sweet and his spittle tasted like cocoa. Cheng Fengtai was still thinking about his marriage, so he said at this moment: "If you marry a daughter-in-law, you won't be able to be so comfortable in the future. Now, if she wants to eat chocolate, you have to let her go, and you have to take her to the movies."
Shang Xirui licked his teeth and mumbled: "Daughter-in-law, if you dare to control me, slap me to death!" Suddenly he asked strangely: "Who said you're going to marry a wife? I won't!"
Cheng Fengtai said "Hey" in a strange voice, "Then what did you say just now?"
Shang Xirui smacked the chocolate: "I said it casually, why do you always remember, you are so narrow-minded!"
Cheng Fengtai has become narrow-minded.
The two of them ate, drank, had fun and did a full set in Beiping City. On the way home, Shang Xirui was still reminiscing about the plot in the movie, saying repeatedly: "This story is so good, I've watched it for the fourth time. Changed it to a Beijing opera." It must be beautiful, and the name is "A Dream on the Blue Bridge"! I will talk to Du Qi next week."
Cheng Fengtai thought about it, and thought it would be funny to change it to a Beijing opera: "If you change a movie into a drama, you won't have fans scolding you?"
Shang Xirui said: "'Water Margin', 'Three Kingdoms' and 'Liaozhai' have all been changed, and there are no book fans to scold us, why can't foreigners touch things?"
Cheng Fengtai didn't understand the rules of their theater world, so he couldn't say much, so he said with a smile: "The heroine's last death is quite like your Beijing opera."
Shang Xirui pondered for a while, and said: "No, it's the style of our Peking Opera that she dies for love as soon as she hears that a man died in battle. It's not good to live on and destroy your chastity. You have to teach Du Qi when you change the play Change this paragraph."
Cheng Fengtai knows that Shang Xirui is a very feudal person, but sometimes, he can deviate from the doctrine and not be afraid of what others say, he dares to come up with any weird ideas that are cast aside, and he doesn't shy away from it. Generally speaking, it is a double standard for others and for oneself, men and women, deliberately teasing him: "Oh, if it were you, the scandal between us would be exposed, and the troupe would not want you..."
Shang Xirui cut him off categorically: "Impossible! No one will listen to my opera, that girl didn't have a role in her dance, that's why she's so easy to have nothing to eat! I'm already a role! What's more We are confidants, how could it be a scandal?"
Cheng Fengtai knew that he was wrong. Shang Xirui has always had an extraordinary sense of honor for his talents, he threatened to draw a circle on the bridge, and he would be able to eat pork and rice as soon as he stood in the circle and opened his mouth. And he and Cheng Fengtai's true love, high mountains and flowing waters, one for fame and fortune, and two for money and sex, it couldn't be more clean and noble, why is it so ugly
Cheng Fengtai shook his head straight, and said seriously: "Boss Shang is right, we are definitely not ugly."
Shang Xirui twisted his head arrogantly: "That's it!" After twisting, he twisted back: "If it were me, I waited so hard to get you back, why should I die? What other people like to say gossip, just gossip. Let them talk, just say enough! Women are soft-tempered, so they will be crushed to death by their tongues; men and men, are you still afraid of this? As long as you don't dislike me, we can be together!" He is living in rumors and scandals People in this area are the most open-minded and have the most willpower. If one day no one speaks ill of his privacy, it will be too bad. But he also understands that gossip is a thing that kills two birds with one stone, he suddenly looked at Cheng Fengtai seriously, his black eyes fixed: "Hey... Second Master, if I lose my voice and fall into the hall, you still have to me?"
Hearing this, Cheng Fengtai's heart felt sore and hot, his internal organs were all crispy and hot, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Apart from the fact that Shang Xirui acted sweeter and softer when we first got acquainted, later on he looked like a little animal with hooves and horns, it was rare to hear such a soft tone, and before he had time to express his opinion, Shang Xirui had already changed his tone , automatically answered for Cheng Fengtai: "You lied to death and tricked my young master, and you still dare to despise my young master when you are alive. My young master will serve you with a dog's head, and Chen Shimei cut your dog's head like that!" On Cheng Fengtai's neck, although the palm was strong, when it fell, it stopped its strength in time, and slashed lightly on his neck, but after it was cut off, it rubbed repeatedly, just a gesture of sharpening a knife. Cheng Fengtai almost slipped the steering wheel, turned his face away to avoid his dog's head, and said: "Just kidding! Qin Xianglian like you, do you need a dog's head? Unscrewed Chen Shimei's head with one hand! You are Lu Zhishen, you Yes!" He said again: "This is all nonsense. I worked my life in the deep mountains and old forests in exchange for this little wealth, and now I have such a brilliant actor to sleep with me, can I go to the army? I don't even want to be a commander Do it! I will guard you."
Shang Xirui said contemptuously: "You didn't do it like a man!"
Cheng Fengtai sneered and said: "I can't even keep my wives, they've become green-haired turtles, what a man!"
Shang Xirui doesn't have a big problem with Cheng Fengtai's cowardice, because between the two of them, only one husband is enough!
At the entrance of the commercial house, Shang Xirui patted Cheng Fengtai on the head as a farewell, jumped out of the car with another unopened can of chocolates in his arms. Cheng Fengtai thought of what Chang Zhixin entrusted him with, so he poked his head out and said, "Boss Shang, give me some free time next month to sing a performance for a stinky official? I'm trying to curry favor with others, give me a reward." Face."
Shang Xirui snorted: "No, you have no face."
Cheng Fengtai smiled and said: "Where did I offend you again? I sincerely invite you."
Shang Xirui said: "I won't go. Yesterday you picked on me, Mrs. Zou, and today you said we are a scandal."
Cheng Fengtai was surprised and said: "Why do you remember it all? Such a small belly! I didn't mean that!"
Shang Xirui frowned, and added an account: "Okay, you still say I have a small belly!" Turned around and left. Cheng Fengtai saw that he slammed the door violently to wake up the neighbors, so he didn't chase after him, and started the car with a smile and left. Shang Xirui's original intention of finding fault and not cooperating was to cause him to pester him, so he stayed overnight, but he didn't expect him to actually leave, hearing the car driving away, he felt really unhappy!
