A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

The Grand Shanghai Ballroom is like a dream.

Hong Mudan's singing voice was soft and melodious, while Wencai sat in the audience smoking Beauty brand cigarettes.

The faint smell of cigarettes intoxicated him.

"Five bucks a glass. Oh my god, a glass of wine here costs five bucks. It's killing me."

A familiar voice sounded, Wencai turned his head and saw Du Fei screaming while holding the drink menu of the dance hall.

A glass of wine costs five yuan, and one glass costs a quarter of a worker's salary.

Du Fei worked as a reporter for the Xin Bao, earning about 40 yuan a month, which was considered middle class in Shanghai.

But a glass of wine costs one eighth of his salary, how can he afford it?

Moreover, Du Fei was not here for fun. He came with his colleagues to interview Qin Wuye, the boss of the Shanghai entertainment industry.

"Two glasses of wine, please!"

A magnetic and elegant male voice sounded, and Wencai looked at Du Fei and saw that the person sitting opposite him was none other than He Shuhuan, the male lead of Deep Love.

Unlike Chen Hanwen, He Shuhuan is intellectual and elegant. He wears a light gray suit and tie, and his eyes are extremely calm.

Judging from his temperament alone, Shuhuan is a nobleman from a prominent family. He is not ostentatious, but mature, stable and has emotional intelligence.

As soon as Wencai saw Shuhuan, the Thousand King's domineering aura that had accumulated over the past few days immediately faded a little.

"It's all my fault for making a typo, otherwise I would be Xu Wenqiang."

Shuhuan's temperament is so great that only Xu Wenqiang can rival him in Shanghai.

Both of them are extremely handsome, but Shuhuan is an elegant nobleman, while Xu Wenqiang is a handsome man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

But Wencai is rustic, with a toilet-like head and an old look...

Standing next to them, even Wencai, who was just their follower, stood out.

After all, the followers of these two handsome men are Du Fei and Ding Li.

"I'd better go back to Renjia Town and fight the stinking zombies with my master. That's where I'm going to be."

The bright lights and debauchery of Shanghai belonged to Xu Wenqiang and He Shuhuan, while Xu Wencai belonged to the charity cemetery, banana groves, mass graves and corpse-keeping grounds.

"The mist and rain are thicker and thicker, the mountains and rivers are thicker and thicker..."

Red Peony had finished singing, and it was Yiping's turn to go on stage. Her singing voice immediately attracted Shuhuan.

Shuhuan raised his head and looked through the crowd at the woman on the stage. She was wearing a red embroidered cheongsam and had tiny white feathers fluttering gently on her head.

Such a stunning and pure face should not appear in a place of entertainment like Shanghai. This woman should appear in an auditorium.

She has a charming and noble temperament with a bit of mischief and cuteness, like a rich lady.

This was the first time Shu Huan had heard this woman's singing. He came from a wealthy family and often went to dance halls.

He was tired of listening to songs like "Night in Shanghai" and "Rose Rose I Love You". This song was clear and melodious without a trace of cliché.

In the woman's singing, Shuhuan seemed to see a beautiful woman among the mountains and rivers, in the misty drizzle, quietly telling about her life's frustrations.

Shu Heng could no longer take his eyes off the woman on the stage. He didn't even hear Du Fei standing next to him, who kept saying that five dollars was not worth it and that it was such a rip-off.

Amidst the myriad lights, between heaven and earth, the only thing he could see was the woman singing on the stage.

Next to Wencai, he saw Shuhuan staring at Yiping in a daze and sighed softly.

Even if he ruined their first meeting on a rainy night, fate would still make them meet and fall in love.

When Yiping was singing, she would occasionally look down at the stage, usually to see if her bodyguard Wencai was there.

Wencai was there, and even though Yiping felt that there were guests with bad intentions and lustful looks all around her, she did not feel panicked at all.

Just like when a child performs, he won’t be stage frightened if there are parents in the audience.

Today, when Yiping was looking at Wencai, she suddenly noticed a young man in his twenties wearing a gray suit.

His eyes were not filled with lust or possessiveness like those of other guests, but only with pure appreciation and praise.

By chance, their eyes met, their hearts pounding.

Wencai also noticed that the two were looking at each other, and his mood became extremely bitter. He took the red wine glass and poured it into his throat.

This glass of red wine was worth five dollars. Du Fei said he wanted to drink the red wine slowly over the night, so he drank it in one gulp without leaving a drop.

For example, Yiping and Shuhuan missed the rainy night. Even though they occasionally looked at each other on and off the stage, they had no chance to touch each other.

After singing, Yiping went to the back door to change her clothes, and then went out with Wencai.

The two of them went out, and Wencai opened the car door for Yiping. As Yiping was getting into the car, she happened to meet Shuhuan and Dufei who also came out.

When Shuhuan saw the woman on the stage being pulled into the car by a rustic-looking old man, he felt a pain in his heart and felt extremely lost.

Such a beautiful woman, fallen into prostitution...

"Hey, Master Qin Wu didn't come today. Let's come back tomorrow. Don't order this wine tomorrow. I found a cheaper one. Hey, what are you looking at?"

Du Fei was chattering non-stop with Shu Huan, and he noticed that he was absent-minded, staring blankly ahead.

He also looked in Shuhuan's direction, but due to the angle, he didn't see Wencai's face. He only saw an old man and a beautiful woman getting into the car together affectionately.

"Oh, the top white rose in Shanghai, next to her must be her godfather. Shuhuan, you are always in charge of the war section, and I am more in charge of the entertainment section. These singing girls are all socialites, and their lives are very messy. Each of them has seven or eight or dozens of godfathers. Guess what I saw once, Paramount Fang Yanyun and a few..."

Every word Du Fei said made Shu Huan feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Godfather….”

Under Du Fei's reasonable misleading, Shu Huan misunderstood.

To be honest, when Wencai is holding hands with a beautiful woman, no one would doubt that they are truly in love.

A rich man from the countryside came to Shanghai to support a mistress.

And Yiping was also a singer at that time.

What kind of love can there be between a rich old man and a prostitute? It's just a simple transaction of money and sex.

.........

The alley outside the Shimenku yard was very narrow and there was no way to park the car. Wencai parked the car outside the alley and returned to the yard with Yiping.

Just as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Fu Wenpei suddenly went out. Seeing the two of them going home together in the evening, he frowned deeply.

She knew that Wencai only looked old but was actually a young man, but the more so, the more worried she became.

My daughter is so outstanding. She is a college student at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

She is still so beautiful. If she hadn’t failed to take good care of Xinping, Yiping would still be the eldest daughter of the Lu family and live a life like a princess.

But now, she really couldn't stand being with an old man.

"Yiping, go home!"

No matter how high Fu Wenpei's emotional intelligence is, she still has a stern face.

Yiping smiled at Wencai and said, "Brother Wencai, I'm going home now. See you tomorrow."

Back in the house, Fu Wenpei's face looked terribly gloomy.

The way her daughter called him "Brother Wencai" just now made her want to die.

"Yiping, Mr. Xu doesn't look like a good person. We haven't known him for long. Shanghai is very complicated. You are not allowed to associate with such people in the future."

"Mom, Brother Wencai is a good man. Didn't he save Sister Ke Yun?"

"The more this happens, the scarier it is. This person knows some evil magic, maybe he wants to become a fairy."

Fu Wenpei comes from Northeast China, where people all believe in the Five Immortals.

In the past, Lu Zhenhua’s fifth concubine told the other concubines that Aunt Xue was a Hu fairy.

What he said was well-reasoned and he also talked about many things about Hu Xianjing.

The fifth concubine also said that Lu Zhenhua once led his troops to fight and killed a couple named Hu Xian.

The woman was reincarnated as Aunt Xue, but no one knows where the man is yet.

Fu Wenpei had a good relationship with her daughter, and immediately told Yiping about her idea.

Yiping burst out laughing: "Brother Wencai is Hu Xian, Hu Xian is a fox spirit, fox spirits are very beautiful and handsome, do you think he looks like one?"

"That's true."

Fu Wenpei thought about it and felt that what Yiping said made some sense.

If Wencai knew what the mother and daughter said about him, he would be so angry that he would die.

His face is not even fit to be a vixen that harms people.
