As a famous actor, Shang Xirui is naturally a famous actor, the better the relationship, the more he wants to use airs to tease boredom. Cheng Fengtai has witnessed the procedure of inviting a character to sing a concert many times, and Shang Xirui was in a mood, so he had to put aside his personal relationship for the time being, prepare a gift seriously, and go to invite a character in a proper manner, since they are so good at this To the point, going through the procedure like this is quite interesting.

There were no other actors in the backstage that day, Shang Xirui was trying a new makeup there, and several masters who combed hair, made up, and tailored clothes waited on him imperceptibly, listening to him give orders, pick and choose, he was also a famous actor The pomp it deserves. The clothes on her body are really fresh. The tulle shirt and embroidered tube top are a kind of ancient clothing that has been remodeled. Cheng Fengtai lifted up one of his large transparent sleeves, the material was so thin that he could see the flesh underneath without lifting it up, but he could see a bare arm when he lifted it up, he couldn't help thinking that this was too fucking revealing! Who are you going to provoke! He did not dare to express his dissatisfaction, but only asked: "Boss Shang, is there a new play?"

Shang Xirui looked at himself in the full-length mirror, couldn't bear to express his love: "New drama! "Zhao Feiyan"! Is it good?" The costume on him was copied by Du Qi from the Dunhuang murals, and it is different from ordinary dramas. The clothes are very different, thin and close-fitting, can run and jump, light and happy, I can't wait to do a few hollow somersaults at once when I wear them.

Cheng Fengtai smiled and said: "It will be cold when you get dressed up, so you won't be frozen to death when you go on stage?"

Shang Xirui said: "You've never been on a stage before, such a bright light bulb roasts people, it's like being in the sun on a June day, you won't be cold naked!"

Cheng Fengtai thought to himself that with your attire, it's no different from being naked. Everyone waited on him, Cheng Fengtai sat down on the low cabinet next to him, and said: "Boss Shang, I have something to discuss with you!" Shang Xirui nodded, and everyone knew it with winks back down. Shang Xirui's eyes are still fixed on the mirror, he looks at himself in circles, thinking that there is still a forehead flower missing, and the two eyebrows probably need to be changed according to the painting. Cheng Fengtai held the corner of his sleeve, shook it twice, and said coquettishly, "Boss Shang, give me a hand?" Shang Xirui immediately responded to the request and slapped Cheng Fengtai's palm , Clenched him tightly. Cheng Fengtai felt that the bones in his hands creaked and were about to break! Quickly took a breath of cold air to shake him off, and said: "Hey! Opera singer, catch me as a thief!" Shang Xirui was so indulging in this new outfit that he didn't reply, just caring about his beauty.

After a while, Cheng Fengtai picked up his hand again with trepidation, this time Shang Xirui's hand lay meekly in his palm, no offense. Cheng Fengtai squeezed that hand lovingly, turned it over and saw that his fingernails were all painted with bright red nail polish. This set of costumes is really meticulous, and even this kind of detail has been considered. Cheng Fengtai only felt a little weird. Such a slender and white hand, the fingertips were blood red, his lips were also blood red, his eye circles were covered with a layer of shiny silver powder, and with this attire, it was as if a dead child had just been dissected. The spirits and monsters that eat are full of evil spirits and take people's lives. At that time, I felt that this kind of moth was not good. Because according to Cheng Fengtai's observation, there are always some audiences and drama critics who will never accept his fluff, not to mention his attire, this time he is more demonic than any other time.

Cheng Fengtai shook his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Shang, if you go on stage like this, I'm afraid not only will you have the sun to bask in, but you will also have hot water to bathe in!" Shang Xirui didn't react at first, until he saw Cheng Fengtai's smile, He laughed so badly that he understood the joke. Withdrawing his hand suddenly from Cheng Fengtai, he made a charming gesture towards the mirror, and asked Cheng Fengtai: "My body—isn't it good? What's wrong?"

Cheng Fengtai said: "It's not bad, I think you are good wherever you are, even if you eat dead children. They don't think so!"

Shang Xirui threw the puppet and gently hit Cheng Fengtai's face: "They can't see it! There is no more dare to spill my water, I will not stop the background! I want to beat them in the background!"

Cheng Fengtai grabbed the cloak: "Oh? You have thugs in the background, why did you ask me to be a hero to save the beauty in Huixian Tower?" Shang Xirui was unconvinced to say something, Cheng Fengtai dragged him by pulling the cloak Come to him and put his arms around his waist: "I won't argue with you, I'll talk to you about business. Boss Shang, you have to go to the meeting, okay?"

Shang Xirui immediately raised his airs, his chest straightened out: "No, don't you dislike my Zou family?"

Cheng Fengtai realized that he couldn't explain this clearly, and said with a wry smile: "I praised you for eight hundred good things, but you didn't take any of them seriously; if you say one bad thing, you're done. Du Qi is picking on you! "

Shang Xirui said that he was going to spit on him, and said angrily: "Du Qi is right! You are talking nonsense! My Zou family is much better than Princess Heyang!"

Cheng Fengtai said: "Yes, yes, I'm stupid. You don't remember villains, how about it?"

Shang Xirui looked down at him from the corner of his eyes for a while, raised his eyebrows contemptuously: "Young master is not free!"

Cheng Fengtai smiled, and took out a piece of red silk from his bosom: "Then don't blame me for being a bandit, I'm going to handcuff Boss Shang away!" He opened the red silk, took out a pair of bracelets, put it on Shang On Xirui's wrist. This bracelet is made of gold vine branches, with tourmaline gourds on it, emerald leaves hanging on it, and two starlight sea pearls at the opening are lustrous and lovely, priceless. Shang Xirui has a lot of jewelry from the palace, he often picks out one or two expensive pieces to wear in the play, some ladies don't understand the play and sometimes they just come to see him. He could see that this pair of bracelets was of great value, it fit Zhao Feiyan's status as a favorite concubine, and when dancing, the sleeves of her clothes fluttered, and the red, green and green gems and pearls appeared from the cuffs, it must be beautiful. Thinking of this, he twisted his body in the crook of Cheng Fengtai's arms, turned his sleeves up in front of the mirror, and nodded appreciatively to himself.

Cheng Fengtai patted his ass: "I accepted all the gifts, but I agreed!"

Shang Xirui didn't answer, and asked: "Whose church is that? Do you want to be a joke?"

Cheng Fengtai said: "It's the official surnamed Sun in Nanjing. Hey! I'll sit at the same table with my brother-in-law in the next year and listen to your box-opening show."

Shang Xirui thought for a long time, then remembered: "He doesn't know opera, the one named Han really knows opera that day."

Cheng Fengtai was very foolish when he heard this: "You sing your song, and when you finish singing, you can go home to eat after receiving the reward! You don't care if they understand opera or not!"

Shang Xirui was not happy anymore, felt that the words were ignorant and chaotic, not enough confidant, he supported Cheng Fengtai's shoulders, put him a little distance away, looked at him in a fuss and said: "The meeting is not a performance! Don't do this useless thing like a pair of cows playing the piano! I don't need money!"

Cheng Fengtai hugged him tightly: "I don't know much about acting either, didn't you come to my house back then?"

Shang Xirui thought it was because he had liked him a little since the first time he saw him in Huixian Tower, although not to the point of being in love, but he was rare to find him a funny person, willing to get as close as possible. He wouldn't tell Cheng Fengtai what he meant, and he yelled in Cheng Fengtai's arms, "I'm busy! I'm so busy! I don't have time to go!"

Cheng Fengtai gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Don't go? If not, take off the bracelet and return it to me!"

Shang Xirui belongs to Pixiu, there is absolutely no reason to return the belongings in his pockets, especially with his own people, he does not want to suffer, he puts his hands behind his back, facing Cheng Fengtai as he backs away, while shaking his head: "No more " Cheng Fengtai stretched out his legs and hooked his feet so that he couldn't move, hugged him and smiled, then bowed his head and kissed chaotically, kissing this ancient monster that has traveled through thousands of years: "Will you go? Eh? Go or not? Ah, Concubine Ai?" Shang Xirui hid his smile and gritted his teeth: "No! I won't go even if I'm beaten to death! I'm busy! Ai Qing mustn't be rude!"

They had a lot of fun, ninety-nine outside pushed the door with a few little actors, stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and then pretended that they hadn't seen anything, it was these two young men I don't know how to be ashamed, the common place where people come and go in the backstage, is it for them to make out? Make out, open a hotel! She nodded and smiled at Cheng Fengtai, walked straight in, threw a small Kun bag in her hand on the sofa, and said loudly: "Hey class leader! There is big news in our Shuiyun Building! You don't even ask! "

Shang Xirui actually knew how to be shy, but when he heard the gossip, he couldn't care less about being shy, pushed Cheng Fengtai, leaned against Shijiu's makeup mirror and asked repeatedly: "What news? Whose news? Hurry up Tell me about it."

At 19 o'clock, I lit a cigarette and pouted to a little actor: "Quickly tell the troupe master!"

The little actor took a step forward, and said in a crisp and lively voice: "Master, you asked us to take turns visiting old man Li every week, and today it happened to be Li Qiaosong and I's turn. We received fifty yuan to subsidize him. Bought pasta and canned fruit—knowing that his old man is not in a good position these days, what he bought was puff pastry and canned lychee! No need to worry about it! They were all good! Who knew that when Li Bo saw Li Qiaosong, his eyes were straightened. The jaw is tight! Li Qiaosong yelled at him, and he passed by!"

Shang Xirui was taken aback: "He's dead?!"

The little opera boy was stunned, and hurriedly said: "No, he passed away. He was sent to the hospital for an examination. Well, he had a stroke again! The other half can't move anymore! I turned my head and went to Luogu Lane to call Miss Xiaolai. I went to the hospital to help, and then I will report back to you!"

Shang Xirui was still digesting this matter in a daze, Nineteen had already chatted with Cheng Fengtai, the two well-informed and unethical guys guessed several grievances and grievances between the Li family and his son. While talking, Li Qiaosong came back from the hospital. As soon as he entered the backstage, all the people who were talking lively just now fell silent, and just looked at him once in a while. Ordinarily, his father was seriously ill, so he shouldn't have left so early, nor should he look so calm. But he came back lightly like a normal person! Change clothes, put rosin on the strings, pour tea for yourself. Others watched him secretly, as if peeping into a secret. Shang Xirui, on the other hand, stared openly, with a dazed look on his face: "Hey! How are you... Uncle Li?"

Li Qiaosong struck the strings without raising his head: "I can't die!"

Shang Xirui said: "Then why are you back?"

Li Qiaosong looked up at him: "I don't have a show tonight? Anyway, there is a girl from Xiaolai in the hospital!"

Shang Xirui blurted out: "But you are him..." After saying that, he felt that gossip is gossip, after all one shouldn't ask about other people's affairs, asking people's faces.

Li Qiaosong didn't care, and said in a normal tone in front of everyone: "What's wrong with his son? When I was young, he didn't care to support me. When he is old, he wants me to honor him? Leader, how is this account calculated? ? This father is too cheap, right?"

Shang Xirui lives in a muddle by himself, let alone counting other people's accounts. Wuzi thought for a while, and felt that Li Qiaosong's reasoning was impeccable, and almost wanted to answer him. Li Qiaosong said again: "Besides, I don't care about him. If he is too poor to eat, I will take care of him. Thanks to your blessing, he is not poor." ah!"

Cheng Fengtai looked at Li Qiaosong, he didn't agree with his words, he wondered why Shuiyun Building produced some things that his relatives didn't recognize? It's still a good start from their team leader, one bad one and one bad one! Turned to look at Shang Xirui, to see what he was going to reason about. Shang Xirui has nothing to say at all, he is deeply numb and annoyed by the sophistication of people outside the play, Li Qiaosong's personality is also the type he can't get close to, silently staring at Li Qiaosong in a daze, his mind is actually It was blank, thinking that playing the huqin well is indeed hereditary!

Li Qiaosong rolled his eyelids, saw why Shang Xirui was still staring at him, and said: "Miss Xiao Lai asked me to tell the teacher that there is a class at Yanjing University at 3:30, don't forget."

It was almost half past two, Shang Xirui hurriedly jumped up to take off his clothes and make-up, he was also a little bit offended by Du Qi's tantrum, he would not dare to delay the class. He was so busy here, Cheng Fengtai stepped forward and raised his chin at him: "Hey, Boss Shang, you are free to go to Du Qi's class! There is no time for the meeting! Tell me! Promise me early, I'll be fine." Prepare early."

The hair comber removed Shang Xirui's hair, Shang Xirui said irritably: "I'm not going to attend class, I'm going to class! Hey! I won't tell you, you don't understand about cultural people!"

Cheng Fengtai was about to laugh, Shang Xirui only knew a lot of Chinese characters, and memorized two lines of operas, he seemed to understand cultural people! "If you don't agree to me, when the old grandson comes to Beiping, I will post a post for you, don't you still have to go?"

Shang Xirui said: "I just said that I want to prepare for Lao Hou's birthday, I need to raise my voice! How dare Lao Sun compare with Lao Hou!" He paused, as if Lao Hou was the heaviest among the heavy burdens on his shoulders I can't bear to think about it, and I get tired after thinking about it, and said with a sad face: "I have to rehearse a new play, have a public performance, and sing Laohou's play. It's all things. I'm so busy, Second Master! I'm tired of work dead!"

He was complaining to Cheng Fengtai and acting coquettishly, Cheng Fengtai is such a considerate Shanghai man, how could he stand up to his sweetheart complaining to him, his heart was filled with pity, he smacked his lips regretfully, and wrinkled slightly Eyebrows, looking at Shang Xirui with pain in his eyes, he thought he was really tired, he would either not go on stage, sing and dance for two or three hours, and change clothes when he came down, the water clothes must be sweating Get wet! Cheng Fengtai didn't know how to sing, if he could sing, he wished he could work for Shang Xirui twice, he was silent for a while, then softened his voice and said: "Forget it, you're so tired, just rest."

Shang Xirui pushed back and forth, just to show off with Naqiao, asking Cheng Fengtai to insist on him like inviting the emperor to court, begging again and again - beg two or three more times, and he will be rewarded. Unexpectedly, Cheng Fengtai withdrew his troops because he didn't have enough airs! Cheng Fengtai's conscientiousness and love are regarded as insincere to him, he frowned, and put his hand on the bracelet and turned it around: "You gave me the bracelet for nothing?" Cheng Fengtai understood the wrong meaning, He smiled and said: "Let's keep it for fun, can your second master really ask you for it back? Whether you sing or not, it's up to you." Shang Xirui had nothing to say for a while, feeling awkward, and then Feeling a little warm, I thought about finding a step later and giving him a face casually. At this time, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Yang Baoli walked in, pulling Zhou Xiangyun in. Both of them had bruises on their faces. Yang Baoli was very angry, as if he was about to yell at him, he immediately died down the moment he saw Shang Xirui, threw away Zhou Xiangyun, and put his face in front of Shang Xirui pitifully: "Team leader, look! It's all about Xiao Zhouzi's fault! How are you going to play at night!"

Shang Xirui looked at him left and right, furious, and immediately scolded: "What's wrong! What's wrong with you two! You two have nothing to do when you're full, just slap each other for fun?!"

The actors around all laughed "poof", afraid of hitting the muzzle of the gun, they dared not make a sound. Cheng Fengtai was not afraid of their class leader, he laughed heartily.

Zhou Xiangyun moved her lips with red eyelids, but she didn't say a word. Yang Baoli had already babbled a lot, and was more aggrieved than anyone else: "Anbeile praised our play, and after listening to the afternoon show, let us brother Have a drink with you, just drink a drink! What a big deal! Zhou Xiangyun quit, turning her head to hide! Give me a shameless thing! You angered Lord Baylor, and you got fed up!" He rubbed his face: "It made me suffer two mouths!"

This kind of drama is nothing new, which handsome actor can't have a few times at the wine table? Even if Shang Xirui goes out to sing an opera now and meets a dignitary who pours wine for him, he still knows how to respect him first. Shang Xirui was too lazy to listen, he glanced at Zhou Xiangyun while removing makeup: "Why don't you drink?"

Zhou Xiangyun's face was flushed red, she was extremely ashamed, after being tortured for a long time, Shang Xirui was so anxious to curse, he said in a very low voice: "He wants me to use my mouth..."

Shang Xirui understood as soon as he heard it, and Cheng Fengtai understood it as soon as he heard it, this game is not new, the two of them are old-fashioned. But for Zhou Xiangyun, a shy child, it was obviously too exciting and humiliating. Shang Xirui shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of! Use your mouth with your mouth, take your mouthful of wine and spit it into his mouth!" The shout was heard by everyone, with expressions on their faces, Zhou Xiangyun burst into tears in shame. Cheng Fengtai stared at Shang Xirui, thinking that you seem to understand it very well! You don't care that much? I feel sour in my heart. Shang Xirui put a towel on his shoulders to wash his face, lathered his face with soap, suddenly turned his head and said to Shijiu: "Anbeile is getting more and more despicable, if you want to play, can you go to a brothel? Come to my Shuiyun Tower to make trouble! Beating people! No friendship at all!"

Nineteen smiled: "I can't blame Amber for being obsessed with sex, who made Xiao Zhouzi's "Yutangchun" and you be carved out of the same mold!" Saying this, he glanced at Cheng Fengtai.

Shang Xirui opened his mouth to retort, the soap foam slipped into his mouth, it was so bitter, he spit it out a few times, lowered his head and washed his face, and when he finished washing his face, he forgot what to say.

Yang Baoli said: "Leader! Tell me about Xiao Zhouzi! There will be a meeting in Prince An's Mansion next week. If he offends people like this again, we will have to follow suit! I don't even dare to play with him, class leader!"

Shang Xirui smoothed his hair with clean water, put on his long gown with his back to the crowd, and said impatiently: "If you want to play with Amber, play with him; if you don't want to play with him, beat him away. This It doesn't matter!" Amber was as cheap as a dog in front of him, and it didn't matter how he treated people. But Zhou Yang, the two little actors, how dare they show their teeth, they have to be bullied alive!

Nineteen objected: "Don't listen to the leader of the class! The leader of the class likes to talk nonsense! I think if Anbeler really likes Xiao Zhouzi, Xiao Zhouzi will follow him! Don't use airs to make people anxious. Suffering!" She looked at Zhou Xiangyun's face with a smile: "With such a pretty appearance, I'm afraid I can hide past the first day of junior high school, and I won't be able to escape the fifteenth day, anyway, it's a matter of time, let's admit it!"

The two words made Zhou Xiangyun terrified, she took a step back in shock, and shouted hoarsely and desperately: "Master!" Timid and timid, whenever a strange man approaches him, he feels afraid. But Shang Xirui is stupid and bold, unable to understand Zhou Xiangyun's fear, Amber is generous and not ugly, why is he so afraid of being "raised" by him? How can an actor who has not made his debut and has no background not be "raised" by others, what's the matter! This is not a problem! Looking at Zhou Xiangyun's terrified face, a sense of maturity and vicissitudes of climbing a height suddenly appeared in my heart, thinking that this child is really too tender, when I was his age... no, when I was younger than him, what After everything has passed, I don't have to worry about anything, and I am already the boss of Shangda!

Shang Xirui sighed old-fashionedly, and wanted to make a couple of persuasive remarks. Cheng Fengtai has had enough, this Shuiyun Tower is simply a den of bustards who force women into prostitution, why do they have to let their children sell themselves as artisans, don't force people to die! He changed his mind, slapped his thigh, and said with a bright smile: "It's also a concert, Xiao Zhouzi, why don't you come with me for your class leader! Don't be afraid of Amberle, I'll talk about it! How about it?"

Zhou Xiangyun couldn't ask for more, she looked at Shang Xirui and waited for his reply. Shang Xirui was stunned for a moment, then said dumbly: "Oh, whatever you want, I don't care, I'm going to be late." Then he went to class. Cheng Fengtai grabbed his coat and followed him, chasing him and shouting: "I'll drive you there! Nails! You haven't polished your nails yet!"

Shang Xirui immediately brought his fingers to his mouth to nibble on the nail polish.
