Chapter 20

Because of Qin Meixiang and Wu Lianrui, Lianxiban has been very popular since its listing.There are many old supporting roles in the class, it's not that they don't have enough skills, it's just that they haven't been successful in recent years.Once given the opportunity, each of them showed their faces in front of the audience.The leading role and the supporting role can complement each other, and everyone works together, which quickly makes the team famous.

Qin Meixiang came back this time, and her prestige was even better than before, so the invitations to the church increased.Anyone who can afford him is a person of high status, and there is no way to push him up.There is no way, often one game is rushing to another, making a posture of being exhausted.It is unavoidable to miss the seat once in a while, and sometimes make the audience lose their temper.

He is so eye-catching, and there are more and more entertainments on him.There are many people who are popular, such a famous actor with both sex and art is not only the darling of the nobles, but also the job of tabloid reporters.Wherever he went, he was followed by people, and he was startled by flashing lights at every turn.Today, I talked and joked a little more with others, and tomorrow the newspaper will swear that he has a relationship with someone.At first, it was just discussing the facts, but later it developed into speculation or even something out of nothing.

Yu Dongrong said hello to his friends in the newspaper industry, but there are also small newspapers besides the big newspapers, and it is impossible to completely ban rumors.People are always interested in the private lives of celebrities and talk about them.The people's gossip never stops, and there will always be people who rely on it to make a living.

Qin Meixiang calmed down soon.Just say it, anyway, there are several kinds of news a day.Say this here, say that there, it's not accurate.It has become more, and people may not believe it even if they read it.

But occasionally it's a bit of a hassle.For example, when he went to a reception, he accidentally spilled wine on a committee member, so he wiped it anxiously.In a hurry, he was photographed.As soon as the photo was posted, he had a smile on his face, and the bald committee member was holding his hand, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.This is so full of mouth that I can't speak clearly.

Xu Pingshan was teasing and complaining at first, but later he got angry and asked Qin Meixiang to push away the entertainment.But how can it be so easy?Those who praise him are all emotional and reasonable, so it's not easy to touch people's face.Blindly aloof, will be said to be ignorant of flattery.In the final analysis, even if he is popular, he cannot do without these dignitaries.Even an entertainer like He Cuixian with eyes on the top of his head still has to deal with it with a forced smile.

What's more, there are some people here who sincerely make friends with him, and don't treat him as a plaything.People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.This is etiquette, etiquette must not be missed.But Xu Pingshan didn't seem to be able to explain these things, so I mentioned it a little bit, and it didn't take much effort.

Xu Pingshan couldn't stand him like this.No temper tantrum, no bad words, just don't talk, and occasionally smile.Obedience is incredible, but there is only obedience left.Qin Meixiang has a good appearance and is good in bed, she never caresses him face to face.But Xu Pingshan just felt stuffy and had nowhere to vent his anger.What's more, it's useless to send it out. His great thunder, when it came to Qin Meixiang, it seemed to be just a drizzle.Shaking clothes, nothing left.

Finally one day he couldn't bear it anymore, and he asked Qin Meixiang if your heart was made of stone.

Qin Meixiang was making tea, holding the pot to carefully draw water, pour tea, filter tea, and divide tea.Just like him on the stage, he flows smoothly and smoothly.After serving the tea, he slowly shook the porcelain cup, put it on a small saucer and handed it to Xu Pingshan.The fragrance of tea curls up, the color is clear green, and the entrance is sweet and quiet.It is obviously the same tea, but the taste is totally different from Xu Pingshan's usual tea mug.

It was interrupted like this, as if the fuse of the firecracker was wet, and it couldn't blow up a single sound.He drank the tea in one gulp and frowned: "Ask you."

Qin Meixiang shook her cup and took a sip: "The general was joking."

The more he looked like this, the more Xu Pingshan couldn't be reconciled.

Those who came here from the mountains of swords and seas of fire, until now, the most indispensable thing is the person on the bed.But ever since he met Qin Meixiang, Xu Pingshan has seen everyone as a vulgar fan, with flowers and plants, and no one can catch his eyes.I don't know whether it was a blessing or a sin in his previous life that he met such a ruthless and lustless stunner.

At first I thought it was just to spend some money, and it was also a bit of a joke in it.Unexpectedly, the later it became, the more uncontrollable it became, it was like a demonic obstacle.He has always been straightforward, and now that he has figured it out, he is not stingy with Qin Meixiang.Spend money and effort to support people.The monthly salary is [-], almost all of which is paid on Qin Meixiang.Occasionally it is not enough, and some private income is needed.But Qin Meixiang was not happy about taking his money, she was simply reluctant.Occasionally, if there is an opportunity, the share will be sent back.Xu Pingshan could see clearly that it was simply that he didn't intend to have a long-term relationship with him.Qin Meixiang didn't owe him anything, so he could only owe Qin Meixiang.

He spent money, worked hard, and sincerely supported it, but in the end he still owed people.The twists and turns here are so boring that people's anger goes straight to their foreheads.

He smiled and said, "It's just a rock, so it should be warmed up." His expression slowly became gloomy, staring at Qin Meixiang's drooping eyebrows and eyes: "What's the matter, there is someone in your heart?"

Qin Meixiang paused, put down her cup, and said softly, "The general is joking again."

Not only did Xu Pingshan's suspicion not go away, but it became more and more serious.He literally gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Meixiang: "Yes or no!"

Qin Meixiang glanced at him, and her voice became cold: "No." He gently put down his cup and got up: "Today, Yao's family has a meeting, so please forgive Meixiang. Please stay, General." After speaking, he got up and left.

Xu Pingshan didn't have time to say a word, and watched him walk out like a breeze.Half a cup of tea was left on the table, green waves rippling slightly.Xu Pingshan took the leftover tea and drank it out of nowhere, after a moment of silence, he suddenly dropped the cup.

For Mrs. Yao's birthday banquet, the troupe was Hechun Troupe, and many famous actors were invited.It is said that the birthday star likes to watch martial arts, but in fact it is the result of fighting among the female family members of the Yao family.Although Miss Yao San said she was displeased, she really didn't care about it.Yao Ji's jewelry business is busy developing the market in Xiangjiang, and she really has no extra energy.

The head of the family's daughter was not there, but the birthday banquet was still very grand.Miss Jiu seems to be determined to show in front of people that she is by no means inferior to her sister.

Yu Dongrong looked at the menu and frowned quietly, thinking that Miss Jiu was really ignorant.For a family like them, it's fine to spend some money, but it's not a good thing to show off too much.When Marshal Li entered the city, the dishes on the welcome banquet were not so extravagant.What's more, more than half of the income of the Yao family is earned by Yao Yueying's hard work over the years.It doesn't matter if the family can't help, why are they still rushing to waste money?But these words can only be thought about, and the determination cannot be exported.

Master Yao also seemed to be quite critical.It's just that because of the old mother's face, it's hard to say anything directly.Having said that, it seems that he, a son, is mean to his mother.

So in order to divert attention, he chatted with Young Master Yu Qi who was beside him.What they are talking about is nothing more than the business under their name, and the current situation.

The Yu family was far away in Jinling, and occasionally wrote letters, seldom mentioning military affairs and government affairs, and only asked Yu Dongrong to transfer the business from the north to the southwest as soon as possible.The southwest is located in a remote place, and the Yu family has always had little influence there.Except for some shops and small factories in central Sichuan, there is nothing left.Since the letter said so, even though he had doubts, he still planned to do it one by one.Yu Dongrong has always respected and trusted his eldest brother.Unlike him, the youngest Yu Chunrong is the only person in this family who can be responsible.Thanks to the young master, the Yu family did not lose their military power.Commander Yu was able to live comfortably after he left the field, largely because of having this son as his backer.

In contrast, Young Master Yu Qi, who relies on the background of his father and brother to do some business to support his family, seems to be a bit hopeless.

But Yu Dongrong never took this at ease.One person has one's own way of life.While he was talking to Master Yao, he was thinking, whether he should transfer his business to Xiangjiang like Yao Yueying?It's just that it's easier to think than it is to do, and he has to start getting tired again.

Thinking of the troubles ahead, Yu Dongrong suddenly felt that the food was not good, and the wine was not good.He wilted a little.

Over there, Young Master Yu Qi was full of worries in the audience, while Qin Meixiang was also full of worries behind the stage.

He was invited to sing at Yao's house, and originally wanted to bring the Lianxi troupe along, but who knew that the troupe had already been set up as the Hechun troupe.He has always avoided He Cuixian, and now he cannot avoid acting on the same stage, which is always a bit embarrassing.He Cuixian has always been aggressive, he really doesn't want to touch this bad luck.

Yao's house has a very large venue, and a row of rooms has been set aside for the troupe to prepare for it.Apart from the grandparents of the Dou family, Qin Meixiang didn't bring any scenes around her. After exchanging greetings with everyone, she combed her hair alone in the corner.

There was a little trouble during the period.A maid from the Yao family who was helping in the background was tired and secretly leaned on the theater box to avoid laziness, and was spotted by the old student Gao Baoying.Gao Baoying was the most respectful of rules, and immediately flew into a rage, thinking that the Yao family's move was deliberately contemptuous.Everyone was not very happy, because Liyuan did have such and such rules, and outsiders were not allowed to enter the backstage at will during the performance.Although Miss Yao Jiu sent someone to help, although it was a good intention, it turned out to be a mess in the end.Seeing that something was wrong, the maid ran away without saying a word.This is even more annoying.

It's just that the play still needs to be performed, so everyone tried to persuade him.Gao Baoying's temperament has always been like this, because she relies on her status and needs others to coax her.He couldn't bring his team over, and he had resentment in his heart. The original [-]-[-]% anger would explode to [-]-[-]%.Although Banzhu Zheng is narrow-minded and greedy, he has always followed suit.Gao Baoying was unwilling and did not dare to offend a character of such weight.So he pretended not to know why, and stepped forward to appease him carefully.

Qin Meixiang felt that Miss Yao Jiu was really a genius.The class of He Chun had a quarrel with Yu Dongrong, so the class invited He Chun to be the team.His own master, Yang Qinghan, had old grievances with Gao Baoying, yet he had to stay with Gao Baoying at the same place.The pear orchard is so big, who can invite it?

He sighed.Suddenly he heard a very small voice calling him: "Boss Qin...Boss Qin..."

Qin Meixiang followed the prestige and saw Xiao Yulin standing behind the door, looking at him with two eyes.Qin Meixiang looked around, all busy around Gao Baoying.So she got up quietly and went out with Xiao Yurong: "It's been a while since I've seen you, how are you?"

Xiao Yurong was wearing a water jacket, her face was already painted, she was a charming and bright beauty.He hissed, nodded, and took out a bag of clothes from behind: "Boss Qin, please return this to Senior Sister Wu for me. I have washed it all...Thank her for me. And... last time she The medicine sent over is very useful...I'm all well, let her not forget..."

Qin Meixiang is so exquisite, looking at Xiao Yurong's expression, hesitantly said: "When will Zhiying..."

Xiao Yurong's expression was coy, but also kind of sweet: "The last time I sang at the Wang family, she came to help out and borrowed a robe from me..."

Wu Zhiying liked to play in the opera troupe since childhood, and was taught by the famous student Cheng Wenyue.Qin Meixiang heard from her colleagues that she sang very well.It's just that I have never heard her speak with my own ears.Wu Lianrui refused to let her enter the industry, and would throw a tantrum when his daughter sang an opera.Qin Meixiang understood his painstaking efforts, and because she knew the many darkness in this business, she was reluctant to let the only daughter go to sea.Unexpectedly, Wu Zhiying was still singing secretly.He thought for a while, then suddenly said: "That Xiao Yuntian who is very popular recently, can't it be her?"

Xiao Yurong's eyes widened: "How do you know..." Then she became anxious again: "Don't tell Boss Wu! If he knows, Senior Sister won't be able to come out to sing opera..."

Qin Meixiang looked at him for a while, then said in a low voice: "Do you know that Boss Wu has promised her to Han Lichuan, the steward of Sanhe Class?"

Through the makeup, I could see Xiao Yurong's complexion turned gray all of a sudden, and he murmured: "Has she promised someone?"

Qin Meixiang was also very sad as she hugged the bag of clothes.But he didn't want Xiao Yurong to be confused.The reputation of the daughter's family and Xiao Yurong's future are not things that can be taken for risk.

Someone in the room shouted: "Bai Yurong! Bai Yurong!"

Xiao Yurong came back to her senses, and hastily agreed: "Here we are!" He looked back at Qin Meixiang, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, turned his head and ran away cruelly.

Qin Meixiang stood at the door for a while, until Xiao Douzi came to find him, he came back to his senses, told him to put away his things, and went back to the house with a heavy heart.

In the play that Yao's ordered, there was a Nanqu song called Lianxiang Companion, which he sang together with He Cuixian.Because she had never acted together before, Qin Meixiang's makeup was almost done, so she wanted to play with He Cuixian.After searching several rooms, he heard He Cuixian's voice in a distant room.

He knocked on the door: "Brother He..."

The door opened by itself.He Cuixian, who has already dressed up, is lying on the bed, smoking a big cigarette.Next to it, a 27-year-old coquettish woman waited on her.Both Jiang Yuxiu and Wang Guichang who sang Xiaosheng were there.The room was filled with smoke.

Qin Meixiang was stunned for a moment, but still walked in the door calmly: "I'm going to be on stage later, I want to play against Senior Brother He."

He Cuixian glanced at him, and said lazily: "What's the matter? You sang with Boss Yang ten times if not a hundred times; I sang with other people as well. The opera scripts are all handed down from Master Wang. Just sing along. Your Cao Yuhua, my Cui Jianyun, haven’t they already decided?”

Yang Qinghan is a free-spirited person, and he likes to add opera words when he sings happily. Qin Meixiang has to adapt to the situation in order to adapt to him.He Cuixian is self-confident about his talents, and he also has a tendency to do so.Qin Meixiang came to him in order to hint him euphemistically that it was the first time for the two of them to play together, and they were not familiar with each other's ways, so she asked him to pay attention to these.He Cuixian is also a smart person, so he doesn't know Qin Meixiang's reason for coming.

With these words, Qin Meixiang felt at ease.He was about to find an opportunity to say goodbye, but he heard Jiang Yuxiu calling him: "Boss Qin, don't you want to have a bite? This is a tin bar from Xiangjiang. Today, Boss He still has the honor."

Although Qin Meixiang didn't smoke it, she knew about it because smoking opium was so common.The kind that He Cuixian smoked were precious goods worth twelve or three yuan and one tael, and smoking them was like burning money, and the rich and the wealthy couldn't afford it.Some people also say that being able to smoke big cigarettes is the sign of becoming a character.He wasn't sure if He Cuixian got into it because of this kind of comparison, but he thought he shouldn't be so confused.Gandan sings with a small voice, and Bi Shengxing has higher requirements for voice maintenance.Picking up this is like smashing your own job.

Although he doesn't like He Cuixian, he has always respected his plays.They are all experts, and when they talk and show off their bodies, they can see each other's foundations very closely.To be as popular as they are, which kind of kung fu has not been practiced through hard work.It's a pity to see it destroyed like this.

Greeting the show outside, Jiang Yuxiu and Wang Guichang reluctantly left.

Qin Meixiang was silent for a while, but she still couldn't help but say, "This thing ruins your throat, it's better to smoke less."

He Cuixian waved all the people below back, and smiled sarcastically: "Do you need to say that?"

They were all taught by Wang Leyao in the early years, and they are considered brothers in terms of seniority.Knowing that it was useless, Qin Meixiang reminded him in vain, because she also cared about this little fellowship.

After He Cuixian laughed, his voice became very resentful: "You must be thinking in your heart that people like me probably got into this because of the ostentation of the role they are going to put on, don't you?"

Qin Meixiang shook her head: "Brother's ostentation is sung, not supported by it."

He Cuixian didn't look at him, but closed his eyes, as if asking him, or talking to himself: "You said we were singing opera with all our might, what is it for? When I was young, I always thought that I would be happy when I became popular. But it’s not happy to be popular, in the end it’s not as good as this smoke..."

He turned to Qin Meixiang, his eyes blurred: "I know, you are not happy. Let this one grab it today, and let that one grab it tomorrow. You are not happy in your heart, and there is nothing you can do. Why do you ask me to sing Daiyu? Singing Green Pearl? Because Daiyu is me, and Green Pearl is you!"

These words were like a stab in the chest, piercing into Qin Meixiang's heart.He twisted in his heart: "Brother, stop talking."

He Cuixian turned the bong to him: "Have a taste?"

Qin Meixiang didn't move.

He Cuixian looked at him with a bit of pity: "Master Yang is in charge of your play, Qiye Yu is in charge of money, and Xu is in charge of people... You can't be your own master... I thought you were You can't help yourself, now it seems that you are just a wimp."

Qin Meixiang looked at his almost crazy eyes, and slowly calmed down: "Senior brother, you don't need to provoke me, you should figure out your own affairs first." He got up, and said coldly: "You smoke again." , I will never be as popular as Boss Ye in this life." He raised the corner of his mouth: "Even Yang Yinxian is not as popular as him."

When going out, I heard He Cuixian laughing from behind: "Actually, you want to say that I am not as popular as you?"

Qin Meixiang didn't speak.Then there was the sound of something falling to the ground.
