pick up jade

Chapter 10

Western medicine seems to be the same way in treating diseases. In case of emergency, they just take medicine and hang salt water. After the emergency is over, they don't know what to do.Qin Meixiang didn't have the energy to speak, but Yu Dongrong knew he didn't like hospitals.So as soon as they saw each other, they sent him back to the Qin residence.The earth dragon was burning warmly, and Mama Xu took care of everything very well.Qin Meixiang leaned against the warm quilt, a smile finally appeared on her pale face.

A well-known doctor was invited to see it, and it was similar to what a foreign doctor said.I'm tired, my body is hurt, and I need to take a good rest.As for how long to rest, naturally the longer the better.

Yu Dongrong looked at his bloodless lips distressedly, and said with relief: "Just take a breather. You have been tired for so many years, and you haven't had a good rest yet."

Qin Meixiang was ill, and she sighed softly, "I have to take a leave of absence for the drama I was supposed to do before... This time, I'm afraid it will make it difficult for many colleagues..."

Young Master Yu Qi persuaded: "You, let's take care of yourself first. If you don't say anything else, just say that your seven-day high fever scared us all. Manager Cao almost went to prepare for your future. .Your master, Boss Yang, cried so hard. If you really pass, he can go and fight with that Qiu Ba. Just because of his love for you, you have to cherish yourself. Don’t do anything Think about it, relax your mind, and take care of your body before talking.”

Qin Meixiang was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry to Master Yang for making him worry about me because of his age. Just please don't speak too harshly outside. He is very angry, and he has not been in good health these years."

Yu Dongrong patted his chest: "Don't worry about this, you have already greeted the newspaper office. Don't worry too much about that bastard, just treat it as being bitten by a dog. In this world, a teacher, It’s not a big official. I’ll talk to Mr. Zou another day and let him blow the wind in front of Marshal Li. I don’t believe he can’t rule a bandit leader.”

Qin Meixiang shook her head: "It's absolutely impossible. What's in Fengyuechang, it's better to stay in Fengyuechang. If you drive him away like this today, what's wrong with Wang Bold and Zhang Bold if you can't keep them together tomorrow. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. " He said shyly: "In the final analysis, this is my own trouble. If I can't handle it well, no matter whether it is inside or outside the industry, it will be a joke."

Yu Dongrong knew the heavy rumors in their industry, but he still couldn't agree with them: "This person is different from those you used to, but he is unreasonable. If it is not for help, it will be difficult to settle."

"I know." Qin Meixiang sighed: "Let's take one step at a time."

Yu Dongrong knew that he was sensitive and thoughtful, so he didn't dare to go deep into it, so he had to divert the conversation, picked out many business fun, and told him as a joke.Speaking of Hechun Ban has gained a firm foothold in the city, Jiang Yuxiu needless to mention, Xiao Yurong and Xiao Yulin also attracted many fans to inquire.In the future, as long as you are good at singing, sooner or later you will have a big red day.He also brought over the lottery that Qin Meixiang didn't get that day, it was a string of east pearl chains, the beads were full and round, and each one was as big as a small fingernail.Although it is not considered the best quality, it is worth a lot if it can't stand such a large string.

Qin Meixiang caressed the cool beads with a gentle expression: "I remember... Mommy used to have such a string of beads, much bigger than this one. I used to play with it in my hand when I was young."

He is gifted and intelligent, and has a very early memory. In addition, he was already seven years old when he was abducted, so he always remembers the things of his childhood clearly.Entrusted by him, Yu Dongrong went to the Qin family to look for it, only to find out that there was a plague in that place many years ago, and the entire Qin family was gone.Qin Meixiang cried when she found out, and never mentioned it again.The world has always been like this, good and bad depend on each other, unpredictable and difficult to judge.

Now he took the initiative to mention it again, listening to Young Master Yu Qi's ears, he always felt a little world-weary and self-pitying.

Qin Meixiang put down the beads, and smiled at Yu Dongrong: "Thank you, Team Leader Zheng, for me, he has a heart."

Young Master Yu Qi said disgustedly: "Come on, it can only be considered that he still has a bit of conscience. How much did he get? The last time Master Lin came backstage, he gave you such a big box of pearl powder. You are kind, He said he couldn’t eat it himself, so he wanted to save some for Xiao Yurong. The old guy actually dug up half of the box with a shy face. Xiao Yurong is a singer, so it’s right to use this thing to raise flesh and blood. His old face is as rough as Fu Wangfu’s. The old tree at the door looks like bark, which is kind of funny."

I don't know which dynasty the tree at the gate of Fuwang's Mansion is from. It is said to be 700 years old.Qin Meixiang burst out laughing when she heard the words: "Qi Ye, you are not so hurtful."

With such a smile, the gloom seemed to dissipate a lot.Qin Meixiang stroked her chest and coughed twice: "I haven't asked yet, where are the two children?"

He said he was a child, but in fact he was only in his twenties, only six or seven years older than others.But because of the affection of a half-master, I can't help caring about him like a real elder.

Yu Dongrong smiled and said: "Everyone is fine, busy singing for their troupe leader to make money. I know you are worried about Xiao Yurong, but with old man Zheng's shrewdness, he is absolutely unwilling to sell that good seedling at a low price. After these years, In the future, once the wings are hardened, the sky will let the birds fly. As for Xiao Yulin..." He clicked his tongue and didn't continue.

Qin Meixiang was made nervous by him: "What's wrong with Xiao Yulin?"

Yu Dongrong coughed uncomfortably: "That brat is really edible!"

Qin Meixiang blamed him a bit: "He... is with you. You think he can eat..."

Yu Dongrong was in a state of distress, and said aggrievedly: "You didn't see it. It's really a half-grown man who eats me to death." In fact, it's normal for young people to eat more when they grow up.Young Master Yu Qi was embarrassed to say something else.

Since Xiao Yulin slept in the same bed with Yu Dongrong several times, it seemed as if he had suddenly enlightened on something.Their martial arts students were originally physically stronger than ordinary people. With delicious food and drink, and the big tree of Young Master Yu Qi for shelter from the wind, it seemed that they became stronger in the blink of an eye.

He practiced and sang opera during the day, and climbed into Yu Dongrong's bed when he was out of the opera at night.Young Master Yu Qi is used to hanging out in the Fengyue Field, and he regards falling asleep with warm and fragrant nephrite as a kind of enjoyment, and it doesn't necessarily mean that he has to do that kind of thing.But Xiao Yulin is always restless.

In fact, it is not so much that Xiao Yulin is restless, it is better to say that Young Master Yu Qi can't control his beauty at the moment.Because Xiao Yulin just leaned over every time, opened his eyes, and asked him if he wanted to accompany him.After a time or two, the brat became more courageous.Darkly, he pulled Young Master Yu's hand from under the quilt, and pressed his head down.He knows the taste.

However, Yu Dongrong was stunned to see a trace of creepiness from here.Because he is gentle in every possible way, Xiao Yulin has always been indifferent to Nong's back.The demon boys and girls that Young Master Yu passed by were unknown, and they were considered to be good at romance.However, Xiao Yulin's eyes were always cold, without the slightest hint of intoxication.Only when Young Master Yu waited on him carefully, could he narrow his eyes and yell a few times sincerely.After yelling, she finally looked a little shy and covered herself with a quilt.Yu Dongrong dug him out and saw that his ears and cheeks were blushing, and he was shaking with his eyes closed.He actually rode on the quilt by himself and got up again.

On the one hand, he was incredibly bold, and on the other hand, he was instinctively shy.He stared at Young Master Yu Qi in a daze.After being stunned for a while, he became excited again and couldn't control himself.When I woke up the next day, my back was sore and my voice was hoarse, as if I had suffered from kidney deficiency at a young age.Looking at Xiao Yulin again, he ran to the yard and shouted as if nothing happened.The air in the middle was so loud that it made Young Master Yu Qi's ears hurt.

However, he was embarrassed to tell Qin Meixiang about these sufferings.Qin Meixiang also saw his concealment, and thoughtfully stopped asking.Having known each other for many years, he knew that Qi Ye was a measured person.

Mother Xu brought the medicine over.Qin Meixiang's hand holding the bowl trembled a little, he was indeed very weak now.Yu Dongrong hurriedly took the medicine bowl and fed him spoon by spoon.Qin Meixiang drank the medicine and said in a low voice, "Master Qi, thank you so much for these years."

When Yu Dongrong saw him today, he always felt that there was nothing in his words that made people panic.He put down the medicine bowl, and said with relief: "It's good to rest, don't think about anything. Now it's not the same as before, even if you don't sing opera, you are still a rich young master. To tell you the truth, the savings you have entrusted to me for so many years, Now we have this number." He gestured to Qin Meixiang.

Qin Meixiang was surprised: "So many..."

Yu Dongrong sighed: "If you borrowed less money from others, you would have already exceeded this number. My good Xiangguan, you are a cornucopia yourself, why are you foolishly acting as a cash cow for others."

Qin Meixiang made him feel guilty, and knew that he was not good at calculating all these years, which made Yu Dongrong troubled: "Qi Ye, I really don't know...how should I thank you."

Yu Dongrong chuckled: "Don't thank me, money begets money, but I took [-]% of it."

Qin Meixiang also smiled: "It's all what it should be. Without you, I wouldn't have gained so much."

Seeing that he was tired and weak, Yu Dongrong helped him to lie down, and tucked the quilt with him.Just when she was thinking of coaxing him to sleep and leaving, Mother Xu ran in with a panicked expression: "A few soldiers came outside and said they were... to deliver something to Young Master Xiang."

Young Master Yu Qi's face darkened slightly: "Don't panic, since it's a gift, just let them leave the things and leave."

Mother Xu didn't say anything, but there was a sound of footsteps outside.This group of people broke in just like that.

Yu Dongrong was so angry that he had to be so ignorant of the rules to do such a thing.

The soldier in the lead glanced at Yu Dongrong, and saluted Qin Meixiang: "The teacher said, I'm sorry for what happened a few days ago. This pair of jade fingers should be regarded as an apology to Boss Qin." Said He opened the box in his hand.

Yu Dongrong has been doing business with Ms. Yao San all year round, and has always had a keen eye for things like curiosities.The fingers of Wen system are already delicate, but what is even more rare is that the white jade is full of water and heavy in oiliness.In all likelihood, it is made of suet jade.Kunlun's jade material has been exhausted in recent years, such a good thing, I'm afraid it came out of the palace.

Qin Meixiang struggled to get up from the bed, and said in a weak voice, "Thank you general for me. Just say that I have already accepted a gun from him, so I don't want this thing."

The soldier was very embarrassed: "If you don't accept it, we won't be able to do business when we go back."

Qin Meixiang shook her head: "Please tell General Xu that Mei Xiang can't be regarded as his great love. I accept it with kindness. General, please take care of yourself." He spoke in a hurry, and when he coughed, he seemed to be out of breath.Yu Dongrong and Xu Ma immediately got together in a panic.

The soldier hesitated.Young Master Yu said angrily: "Come on, haven't you seen everyone like this? Go back and tell your generals like this. Let's go."

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and went away holding the box like a gust of wind.

Qin Meixiang took a breath and lay down heavily on the bed.Yu Dongrong wiped the sweat from his forehead for him, and sighed.

There was something soothing in the medicine, and Qin Meixiang fell asleep quickly.Yu Dongrong frowned and thought for a while, but he always felt that this matter was not so easy to finish.He really had to figure it out.

Using the pretext of discussing the engagement ceremony with the Zou family, Yu Dongrong went to Zou's residence.Although General Yu has resigned, Yu Dongrong's eldest brother, Commander Xiao Yu is now in the limelight in Jinling.This marriage, to be honest, is considered to have benefited the Zou family more.But Young Master Yu Qi looked at his future second sister-in-law, and felt somewhat regretful.Ms. Zou is a rather gentle and delicate girl, with the dignity of an old lady.This is the route that Commander Yu likes, because his original wife is such a young lady.But based on Yu Dongrong's understanding of his second brother, this wife will most likely not have a happy life after marrying.

Regarding this matter, as a brother-in-law, he can't talk too much.So I said a lot of courteous words and gave a lot of greeting gifts.Miss Zou declined and accepted it, and asked how Master Yu was doing shyly.Yu Dongrong had no choice but to say vaguely that he was busy with his father's work, and felt quite ashamed in his heart.The atmosphere of the Zou family is not so open yet, unmarried girls are bound by many rules, so Ms. Zou just sat down for a while and went upstairs.

Young Master Yu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and talked about Qin Meixiang's predicament to Mr. Zou.

Because Zou Zhanyuan just raised the price of the dowry from Yu Dongrong, he was very kind to this junior.He first made some bold and vicious statements to Young Master Yu Qi, and then patted his chest to promise that he would take the opportunity to persuade him.However, there is a but here, there is no guarantee that persuasion will work.Because Marshal Li values ​​this fierce general very much.No matter how popular Qin Meixiang is, no matter how good he is, no matter how much he is loved by his colleagues in Liyuan and theater fans, it will not change his status as an actor.For people like them, actors are just playthings after all.

Yu Dongrong actually knew this very well in his heart.But he is always unwilling and does not understand.The world is really strange.Everyone loves opera singers, holds them in high esteem, and treats them as the moon in the sky, mountains of gold and silver are sent to them.But once actors are bullied, people will change their faces, saying that they are low-class, playthings, and should not be treated as human beings.

He felt sorry for Qin Meixiang.

Having said that, I can't go any further.Yu Dongrong chatted a few more words about current affairs with Mr. Zou, pretended to have a good conversation, and left.

Several of Qin Meixiang's patrons got together for a light meal.Everyone contributed to the matter of praising Boss Qin, but after all, no one has the ability to drive Xu Pingshan away with a single word.And they now face another pressing matter.

Qin Meixiang took out the Zuixianlou, which had not been performed for many years, and re-enacted it. Although it was criticized by the apostles, it aroused the addiction of the fans in the market.After seven consecutive performances, Boss Qin fell ill, which was in line with the wishes of many small troupes.These theater troupes don't have much pursuit of the theater itself, and they only focus on making money.It's hard to say, it's hard to say, and it's not flattering to follow the trend of acting.Because there are righteous masters for comparison, the result is often that Dongshi imitates and makes people laugh.But now that the Lord is not here, it just gave them a chance.Many theater fans who failed to catch up with Boss Qin's performance and were really curious about the play helped these small troupes.

For a time, this drama was being played everywhere in the market.It's a pity that the kung fu is not good enough, just using the unspeakable plots as a gimmick, can only turn a romance into an obscenity.An actor without a name would have no reputation at all, so all the accounts were placed on Qin Meixiang's head.Although the matter between Xu Pingshan and Qin Meixiang was suppressed, the newspaper had no way of managing the discussion.Without these discussions, who would the newspapers be sold to?

It is common for fans of famous actors to write articles in newspapers to fight, and among them, Dan Xing is the most severe.Now the opponents coincided with each other and took advantage of the opportunity to tear down Qin Meixiang's platform.The literati of the Qin Party were overwhelmed by this kind of siege, and they were very anxious.Fortunately, the opponents were not pleasing to each other, and this kind of cooperation did not last long.Boss Qin was silent, and many dan actors imitated his acting style to play his good white lady and Luofu girl. Although they only got two or three points of charm, it was enough to make a living.As a result, quite a few new dan roles took advantage of this gap to become popular.It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old.After all, for most people, watching a movie is just to have fun.They don't understand the difference here, and even if they understand, they don't care.

Yu Dongrong didn't dare to tell Boss Qin about these things.Although Qin Meixiang was discharged from the hospital, she was very haggard physically and mentally.The breath he had held on for many years seemed to be gone because of this illness.Singing opera is the foundation for an actor to live and work. Boss Qin's appearance made some die-hard opera fans very disappointed.The Qin residence gradually became cold.

Young Master Yu Qi loves his plays very much, but he loves this person even more.When Xiang Guan'er was on stage, he was willing to spend a lot of money to support him; Xiang Guan'er couldn't sing anymore, so he treated him like a friend and a younger brother.Qin Meixiang knew it all in her heart, so she had to tell Yu Dongrong the truth of the flowers blooming and withering, the moon full and the moon waning.

The two wise men consoled each other pretending to be ignorant with understanding, and the relief later became a little bit of joy in bitterness.Qin Meixiang didn't hear anything outside the window, and picked up her old interest in painting again, and gave Yu Dongrong a picture of ninety-nine plum blossoms drawn by herself to dispel the cold.

Yu Dongrong wrapped the small hand stove filled with charcoal into a satin cover, and put it in Qin Meixiang's hand to warm it.Because her body was hurt too much when she was young, Qin Meixiang suffered from cold hands and feet as soon as she calmed down. This year, due to a serious illness, this symptom has become more serious.Although this disease is not serious, it has another kind of torture when it breaks out in winter.His ten finger joints were red and stiff, and the pain felt like a broken bone.Western medicine has no solution for this disease, but Chinese medicine has a solution, but it has to be treated slowly.It won't get better in a while, and I still have to suffer.

Young Master Yu Qi rubbed his hands for him distressedly: "Lie down, it will be warmer on the kang. You are good to rest, I will go back now."

The two of them were saying their goodbyes when the old crow's rough voice startled: "Where's Boss Qin? I'll come and see him."

Young Master Yu Qi was so angry that his teeth grew old: "Why is he here again? Is this going to step on the threshold?"

Qin Meixiang said lightly: "Let him go, just don't torment me." She smiled at Yu Dongrong and said, "Mother Xu made candy rolls. You can take some back and eat with Xiao Yulin."

Xu Pingshan sent Qin Meixiang a gift after he was discharged from the hospital, but after being rejected, he came to the door himself and forced things over.The Qin family usually only had two mothers, and Qin Meixiang was a patient, so they couldn't move.After coming and going, the bandit commander ran smoothly, and would come over every now and then to sit down.Qin Meixiang didn't have the energy to deal with him, and she couldn't tear herself away to chase him away, so she just let him be so lukewarm.

Fortunately, the Qin residence is empty now, and no one knows about it.Yu Dongrong jumped for a while, seeing that Qin Meixiang was acquiescing, he couldn't say anything more.Zou Zhanyuan's wind must have blown, Xu Pingshan kept a low profile a lot, but he still stayed here, meaning to take root in the capital.

Seventh Young Master Yu Qian donkey is so poor, he still hates it in his heart, but he can only complain.

Xu Pingshan raised the curtain and came in, and at a glance he saw the hands of Yu and Qin who were holding each other.He squinted his eyes: "Yo, coincidentally, Young Master Yu is also here."

Yu Dongrong patted the back of Qin Meixiang's hand reassuringly, with a frank expression: "Let's go now." He lowered his head, and put the clothes on Qin Meixiang's body together: "A new batch of silver bone charcoal arrived from Xishan, I will send it to you tomorrow." Come here soon."

Qin Meixiang nodded, and watched Young Master Yu Qi leave.

Xu Pingshan picked up the leftover tea left by Young Master Yu, took a big sip, and said with a sneer, "Young Master."

Qin Meixiang didn't bother to deal with him, but manners seemed to be innate, so he still greeted outside feebly: "Mother Xu, make another pot of tea for General Xu."

This time Xu Pingshan had smile lines at the corners of his eyes: "I'll just drink this, it's good." He shook off the overcoat wrapped in wind and snow, and opened the box he brought over.Qin Meixiang looked at him inexplicably, only to see that he took out a huge roll of tiger skin from the box and spread it on the bed.

Seeing Qin Meixiang's shocked expression, Xu Pingshan smiled triumphantly: "It was beaten in the mountains before. It just turned out to make a mattress for you."

Qin Meixiang couldn't tell what it was like in her heart: "There is an earth dragon in the house, so I don't need this. The general should take it back."

Xu Pingshan flicked his big leather boots on his own, took off his coat and trousers, and stepped onto the bed with his long legs: "You earth dragon, why are your hands still green?" He patted the Mattress: "Come here."

Qin Meixiang sat on the other side of the bed, not moving.

Xu Pingshan clicked his tongue: "What's the matter, you want me to hug you?"

Sighing lightly, Qin Meixiang said, "General..."

"I really passed."

Qin Meixiang crawled over with her clothes on, and before she could get close, she was knocked down on the tiger skin mattress by the bandit.Xu Pingshan pulled the quilt over to cover both of them, and touched his hand holding the stove under the quilt, and covered them: "That's good."

The orderly outside knocked lightly on the window: "Master, are you going back today?"

"Not coming back." Xu Pingshan yawned: "Rest here."

He held Qin Meixiang's hand and touched it for a while, then forcibly picked out that delicate little hand stove and threw it aside.Then he wrapped Qin Meixiang's hands with his rough and dry hands: "That thing is not as good as two sips of shochu."

Qin Meixiang didn't speak, she had nothing to say.Xu Pingshan rubbed his calf against his cold feet, and after a while, he became restless.I also know that when it snows, I ran all the way here just to sleep in bed with a man.I don't believe it.

He closed his eyes and let the man touch it.While Xu Pingshan touched it, he kept muttering, "It's so slippery."

Qin Meixiang's flesh ached from his touch.This man's hands don't know why they are so rough, like sandpaper, it almost makes his skin bleed.He ducked, but it was impossible to hide.Xu Pingshan turned him face-to-face, grabbed Qin Meixiang's cold hand, and lowered his head.

After warming for a long time, my hands were still cold.Xu Pingshan mumbled a few times in a haha, but didn't stop.It was quite warm there.The dantian is where the true yang of a man is located.Qin Meixiang's hands felt warmer, the pain didn't hurt so much, and her mood also improved.If he was willing to be gentle, Xu Pingshan was even more presumptuous.A pair of big hands rubbed all the way to the secret place.It's a pity that Qin Meixiang was originally indifferent to this aspect, and became weak after illness, and even more sober.Xu Pingshan rubbed for a long time, only making himself impatient.

He reached out and pulled Qin Meixiang's pants down.Qin Meixiang suddenly pulled her hand away.At this juncture, it was almost fatal.Xu Pingshan kissed him hard, and coaxed him: "Hey, I'll come gently."

Qin Meixiang turned cold.He is also a man, and he understands that he cannot believe a single word that a man says at such a time.

He turned his face away: "The general wants me to die, so just come."

Xu Pingshan had nothing to do with him.After choking for a moment, he said impatiently: "Yes, please, don't mess with it, hurry up, and put out a fire for me." He lifted the quilt and lay down flattened.

Qin Meixiang pulled a handkerchief, and her ten warmed fingers were soft and slender, like rubbing silk or stroking a flute.The people below were panting more and more fiercely, so he pulled up the veil.After a while, Xu Pingshan let out a long sigh of relief.Qin Meixiang withdrew her hand, and casually threw the handkerchief under the bed.

Xu Pingshan hugged him from behind, played with his fingers, and sighed: "You little paw, why are you so long?"

Most of the danjiao'er's hands are very beautiful, because they have to perform fingering on stage, and the master will pay special attention when selecting apprentices.Qin Meixiang's hands and skeleton were extraordinarily slender and beautiful.In addition, his natural complexion is fair, and those hands are called jade hands, which is appropriate.

away from the warmth.Those hands went cold again.Qin Meixiang curled her stiff fingers, sighed, and said to herself: "It may not be possible to keep it."

He was talking about his illness.This defect may seem minor, but it was fatal to him.When he sings Dan, besides his figure, voice and face, his hands are also very important.Everything is ready, once the show is made, a pair of chicken feet that can't be stretched straight, how can the audience buy it?

Xu Pingshan heard his worry, and said indifferently: "If you can't sing, then don't sing, follow me, and you won't be hungry."

"General...don't understand." He closed his eyes.

Xu Pingshan turned him over and hugged him: "All right, all right, I don't understand. I'll cover it for you again." As he spoke, he grabbed his hand and pressed it against his chest.

It was sweaty and full of hair.Qin Meixiang struggled a few times, but gave up when she didn't break free.

The sound of even and long breathing soon sounded in the ears.

Qin Meixiang was stunned for a while, feeling a little sore in her heart.But once it softened, it hardened again.Without this person, there would be no disaster.He is still singing well on the stage.

Drama is his life.After leaving the show, he is a lonely ghost, not to mention that others don't regard him as a human being, he himself feels that he is not a human being.

The pain and suffering here, not to mention the bandit leader next to him, even Qi Ye, even his colleagues in the Liyuan, may not understand it.

Every time he thinks of this, he can't wait to cry.This is his life, and he has no choice.

Xu Pingshan fell into a coma and hugged him again.His arms seemed to be made of iron, and Qin Meixiang was trapped inside, unable to go anywhere.Feeling tired, he let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
