pick up jade

When it was time to take the stage, the two cooperated unexpectedly.When she sang "The reunion is not yet in sight, I wonder how many friends there are in the world", Qin Meixiang's heart moved for some reason, as if he had sung with He Cuixian once, and there would really be no next time.There are so many corners in the troupe, and church meetings are often held.Those who have only acted once, there are as many as you want.This was a normal thing, nothing to be lamented about.But that kind of sadness is still lingering, Cui Jianyun's eyes make people can't bear to look at them, and they can't bear to look at them.At the end of the song, Qin Meixiang was in a daze.

He was still in a daze until he got off the stage.It wasn't until He Cuixian walked past him with a chuckle that he raised his head as if waking up from a dream.

The applause from the audience suddenly resounded.

Qin Meixiang looked back and saw Yu Dongrong talking to the same figure.His eyes gradually cleared up, and he was even a little surprised.Mr. Gu actually came.

He took off his clothes and went down to the stage to celebrate Mrs. Yao's birthday.It took a while in the group of female relatives to get out.Looking back, I saw Yu Dongrong and Mr. Gu looking over with a smile.A few years ago, Gu Tingan and Yu Dongrong praised him together, but later he went abroad because of government affairs.Qin Meixiang hasn't seen him for more than two years.When several people are together, they are not strangers, and they still have a lot to say.Mr. Gu praised: "I haven't seen it for more than two years, and Mei Xiang's kung fu has improved again."

Several people were talking, when they suddenly heard a dispute in their ears.Following the prestige, I saw Mr. Zheng standing humbly beside a 50-[-]-year-old man with narrow eyes and white face, begging for permission: "...the Dan Jiaoer in the class is much better...Yuyan, who is good at flute; Yuyan is good at flute; Su, can sing big drum scripts; Yuping, only fourteen, can sing well..."

"Money is easy to talk about."

"This...it's not about money. Think about it, how many children do I have to raise to raise such a singing one? He is not top-notch, and he has a stupid temper. He only knows how to sing. You are so arrogant , I have to keep him to take the lead for the team... Hey, hey... I thank you, thank you for your understanding..."

Leader Zheng left.The man was still touching his chin, his eyes fixed on the stage.Two men with guns, who looked like thugs, stood behind him like a mountain.

Yu Dongrong frowned and asked doubtfully, "That's it?"

"Lv Zhihe. It turned out to be one of Marshal Wu's subordinates. Although he is out of the field now, he still often has contacts with the government... I heard that his hands are not clean. This person is definitely not a kind person, it is better to stay away." Gu Tingan pointed out. He took a serious look at Qin Meixiang.

Several people sat for a while with their own thoughts.Qin Meixiang was thinking, they must be talking about Xiao Yurong.But the meaning in the words is that Zheng Banzhu refused.He chewed back and forth a few times what he had heard, and calmed down a little.

From time to time, acquaintances came to say hello, and Yu Dongrong and Mr. Gu walked away quickly.Qin Meixiang sat there alone, seeing that no one was paying attention, she began to eat quietly.Although the food is a bit cold, the taste is good, especially the tribute rice seafood porridge.He ate two bowls of shrimp siu mai and cloth bag chicken in one go.In the end, because I was too embarrassed to add more, I had to take some small snacks to eat silently.While eating, he raised his head subconsciously and saw the little warlord surnamed Lu looking over.

Qin Meixiang has been running the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and is extremely sensitive to people's emotions.The gaze of the warlord surnamed Lu made him very uncomfortable.Not the usual admiration or covetousness, but something else.It makes people feel cold.He nodded distantly.A guy behind the man leaned over and muttered something.Qin Meixiang's ears were particularly sensitive, and she seemed to hear the man say: "...People from Xu Pingshan..." Lu Zhihe's expression changed.He gave Qin Meixiang a gloomy and unwilling look, and turned his head away.

Qin Meixiang had encountered some people like this before.Due to the fact that there were people behind him, they all backed away tactfully in the end.So he didn't take it seriously, and continued to pick his favorite things on the table and eat them all.The servant girl came to change the dish that had gone cold, and he also ordered a small piece of creamy strawberry cake.Strawberries, split in half, were neatly arranged on top of the cream, with a chocolate chip in the middle.The taste is not too sweet, but surprisingly refreshing.

It's almost enough when you're full.What follows is the martial arts performance of Hechun Class, and Jiang Yuxiu is the leader.Qin Meixiang was not very interested in Jiang Yuxiu's play, so she thought about going back early.It just so happened that Mr. Gu came back at this time, seeing that he was about to leave, he hesitated and said, "I don't know if Mei Xiang is free. Last time I came back, I only came to watch half of the show. There are many things in the play that I didn't have time to talk to You said. This time too, I will go back to Jinling in a few days..."

I haven't seen the old man for a long time, so I naturally have a lot to talk about.When Gu Tingan was not in the government in his early years, he wrote many playbooks for him.Later, although he was busy with affairs and had no time to write, he was still very insightful in the play.Qin Meixiang has benefited a lot from her association with him.He smiled when he heard the words: "Of course I'm free."

So he sent someone to say hello to Young Master Yu Qi, and left first.

When the car drove west to the hotel, Gu Tingan looked back: "It seems that there is a car following?"

Qin Meixiang turned her head, the street was full of traffic, she didn't see anything.Knowing that Gu Tingan's identity is sensitive and he is particularly nervous about certain things, he said in relief, "I think it's on the way, don't worry too much." Having said that, he still told the driver to make a few detours.

Gu Tingan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally entered the hotel room.Qin Meixiang looked at him and felt that Gu Ting'an had grown old after not seeing him in the past two years.This person was originally only in his early thirties, but now that he took a quick look, he seemed to be in his forties.

The two of them didn't talk about current affairs, they only talked about Qin Meixiang's drama.Gu Tingan said his thoughts one by one, and finally said: "In the last scene of Green Pearl, you cried when you sang, in my opinion, it's over. First, it's easy to smudge makeup, it's not beautiful; second, our drama is freehand. Your movements and voice have already expressed Luzhu’s sadness and crying. Crying at this time is actually superfluous. It’s better to use tearful eyes. The last jump that fell from the building is certainly wonderful It's beautiful, but it's too dangerous. When you sing, you often put too much effort into it. I watched from the audience, and I really sweated for you. Did you practice hard later?"

Qin Meixiang nodded: "Sir, you have good eyesight. Every sentence is in my heart. With your words, I will have a bottom line when I change the play next time. It's just the last jump, I'm afraid I can't help it." I changed it again. I can only continue to practice, and try to master my kung fu as soon as possible."

Gu Ting'an said quietly: "The red is also red, and we still fight like this. I haven't seen you for more than two years. Now you call me Mr., but you have a birth share with me."

Qin Meixiang followed Gu Tingan in her early years.It is the kind that is clear in both strokes and the boundaries are clearly drawn.The background of the Gu family is there. To Gu Tingan, the pear garden is just a dream.At the final parting, Qin Meixiang just felt lost.Gu Ting'an was particularly sad, because he knew very well that once he let go, he would never go back.

Qin Meixiang heard the meaning of Gu Tingan's words and sighed.Even if the mandarin dream is revisited now, it is just a dew.The past is the past.He said softly: "The flowers will be better next year. Who do you know?" This cut off half a sentence to persuade the other party to look forward.

Looking at him, Gu Tingan remembered those good times in the past.He said shyly, "You can sing another song with me, that "Full Moon"."

The old friendship is still there, so it is hard to refuse such a request anyway.And the next time we meet, I don't know what year and month it will be.Qin Meixiang moistened her throat, and began to sing the ancient song: "A branch of cinnamon gives birth to jade, and when it disappears, you can call Qingqing. Slowly singing the golden thread, tapping on the elephant board, it will overwhelm the country and the city. When will I see you? Leisurely feelings. Thinking should be the same as before, the mountains in spring are bleak, and the water in autumn is full..."

Gu Tingan went around behind Qin Meixiang and hugged him.Qin Meixiang stopped singing, and sighed, "Young Master Gu, why are you doing this? If so, we won't have to meet again next time."

"I know……"

Before he could finish speaking, the door was kicked open.Qin Meixiang was startled, and looked up to see Xu Pingshan standing at the door with a terrifying expression, behind him was a group of soldiers.

Gu Tingan let go of him in embarrassment: "Are you?"

Before the words fell, someone rushed towards Gu Tingan behind him.Qin Meixiang stood up and stood in front of Gu Tingan: "If you have something to say, don't do it."

Xu Pingshan's face was terrible, he approached Qin and Xu step by step, and stopped a foot away: "No introduction?"

There was a commotion at the door for a while, and several bodyguards rushed in to protect Gu Tingan.

Qin Meixiang breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Counselor for Foreign Affairs, Gu Ting'an." Then he said to Gu Ting'an: "General Xu Pingshan." He nodded to Gu Ting'an: "Then I'll go back first. Mr. Gu, how much do you want?" Take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Pingshan and walked straight out.

When she reached the entrance of the restaurant, Qin Meixiang paused.He knew that Xu Pingshan was not a good person today, so he followed him back, fearing that there would be another thunderstorm.But things have come to this point, many are involuntary.He Cuixian is right, he has never had real freedom.

Seeing him hesitate in front of the car, Xu Pingshan unceremoniously pushed Qin Meixiang in from behind.

Qin Meixiang's slight wavering disappeared immediately.He and Xu Pingshan are neither lovers nor husband and wife.Why do you treat yourself like a rape.But his face was still calm, and when Xu Pingshan got in the car to clamp his chin, he looked back not to be outdone.

For a moment he thought his fist was about to drop.But no, Xu Pingshan finally let go, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you a chance to explain."

Qin Meixiang said without reservation.He originally walked with Gu Ting'an, but he never had any thoughts other than talking about drama.Gu Tingan and him were not lovers in the early years.When they parted in the past, they tacitly agreed to each other: goodbye is just an old friend.Who would have thought that Gu Ting'an was so weak and unreliable.Perhaps this is also a common problem among literati, always nostalgic for the romance of the past.Not everyone can be a gentleman.

It's a pity that Xu Pingshan is a rough person, and he can't understand the subtle emotions and differences here.In his eyes, Gu Ting'an is Qin Meixiang's old lover.A private meeting with an old lover at night, if not adultery, what else could it be?Even a man can't stand this.After Qin Meixiang finished speaking, instead of calming down, he became even more angry.The knuckles were pinched and crackling, as if the rain was about to come.

Qin Meixiang understood the thoughts of men.Self-esteem, possessiveness, stuff like that.But when he saw Xu Pingshan like this, he had no fear, only deep tiredness.Ever since we met, he and this person have never been able to make sense of a single thing.Their current relationship, if one insists on comparing it, it can only be said to be like a prostitute and a benefactor.Don't say that he didn't do anything, even if he really did something, Xu Pingshan is not qualified to take care of it.Xu Pingshan was not the only one holding him.This person has occupied him by himself, and it has been very out of order to hold him for such a long time.

After getting out of the car, Xu Pingshan dragged him out and carried him upstairs.After entering the door, he threw the person heavily on the bed, and then began to untie the belt.

Qin Meixiang couldn't stand him like this the most, she still couldn't explain clearly, why did she only think about this stuff all day long?He sat up and rubbed his sore arm: "General, I have something to say to you."

Xu Pingshan's eyes were gloomy, and he sneered: "What? You've already slept with your ex-lover, so why don't you sleep with me?"

Qin Meixiang frowned: "The general is thinking about it. I have already said that it is just a joke with Mr. Gu."

"Hug and talk?" Xu Pingshan had already tossed off his clothes, stepped onto the bed, and looked at him condescendingly: "If I come a little later, you may just talk on the kang. Bear with you, let you go , you really think that I am a bastard. Boss Qin is very good at playing as a whore and setting up a memorial archway."

Even though there are thousands of mistakes, Qin Meixiang never gave birth to only this thought.He was innocent to Gu Tingan, and he would be humiliated like this in the end.No matter how popular he is, how good he is, how docile and obedient he is, in Xu Pingshan's eyes, he cannot be regarded as an upright person.The word "bitch" was like a knife, piercing into Qin Meixiang's heart.

In an instant, it seemed that he had returned to the night when he first came to Xu Mansion.Or go back to those forced nights many years ago.They overlapped and pressed down on him together.

He had a thousand words, but couldn't utter a single word.

Xu Pingshan was furious, seeing that Qin Meixiang didn't respond, he felt violent.Involuntarily came up to pick off his clothes.It was only yesterday that I was tossed for half the night, and today my mind was shaken again and again.The long-term forced depression accumulated in one place, and Qin Meixiang felt sad from it, and finally couldn't bear it any longer.He grabbed his collar and pushed away the opponent's hand.

If nothing else, he was always submissive in bed.This move undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and the two of them were tearing up on the bed in no time.It's a pity that Xu Pingshan's strength is amazing, even if Qin Meixiang has some kung fu, he is still no match for him.Because he resisted so fiercely, Xu Pingshan couldn't help but lose his sense of control. Qin Meixiang was elbowed in the chest, and immediately vented all her strength, she curled up.Xu Pingshan's eyes were terribly red, he folded his legs upwards, and wanted to force him.Qin Meixiang was in pain and angry, she took a moment to relax, and kicked Xu Pingshan's face hard.

Even though Xu Pingshan reacted quickly, the forearm that raised his hand to protect him could not bear the force of the volley.He lost his balance for a moment and rolled off the bed.

Qin Meixiang was out of breath, and shook her hands to fasten the button, but she couldn't do it no matter what—how could she do it.He stumbled down from the bed, and before he could run a few steps, he was thrown down by Xu Pingshan.

Still can't escape in the end.He also has no strength.

Xu Pingshan played fiercely on him for a long time, and when he had recovered his breath, he turned him over, only to see Qin Meixiang staring blankly at the ceiling, her face was empty, without any expression.

Xu Pingshan has never experienced this in his life.He has always been a happy person, but ever since he met Qin Meixiang, nothing has been right.The anger gradually subsided, leaving only an indescribable sense of powerlessness.He said solemnly: "You are trying to drive me crazy."

Qin Meixiang finally focused her eyes on him, her voice was so hoarse that she could barely hear her: "General, let me go. We... are not the same people..."

The tenderness on Xu Pingshan's face was gone. He looked at Qin Meixiang from above, and suddenly showed a cruel smile: "Don't think about it. You are my man in life, and my ghost in death."

Qin Meixiang broke free from under him bit by bit, slowly crawled to the side of the bed, and sat up leaning against the bed post.His limbs were slender, and his sweaty skin was warm and moist under the lamp, shimmering like white jade.Even so naked and embarrassed, there is still a strange beauty.

Xu Pingshan stared at him dazedly.The room was silent, only the sound of breathing getting longer and longer.

Qin Meixiang originally lowered her eyes, but suddenly smiled strangely: "General, you said that after death, can you really turn into a ghost?"

When Xu Pingshan came back to his senses, he realized that he had already held a gun in his hand.His cold sweat came down all of a sudden.It was thrown on the ground with the clothes just now.

Qin Meixiang fiddled with the murder weapon clumsily like a child, and quickly figured it out.He slowly opened the safety, held the gun against his temple, and looked at Xu Pingshan quietly: "I don't really believe it. I want to try."

Xu Pingshan rushed over quickly when he saw the gun in his hand, but it was still a step too late.He stared at Qin Meixiang's finger on the trigger, and said word by word: "I will promise you whatever you want."

Qin Meixiang looked at him, blinked her eyes, and a tear fell down her cheek: "What do you mean?"

"One word from a gentleman, one quick whip."

When the word "junzi" came out of his mouth, Qin Meixiang thought it was funny.Because I thought it was funny, I actually laughed.After laughing, he shook his head: "I don't believe it."

At this stall, Xu Pingshan rushed up and pressed his hand on the carpet.

The gun went off.The chandelier in the bedroom swung.

Xu Pingshan grabbed the gun and quickly unloaded the magazine with one hand.Qin Meixiang lay under him, her face blank.

It wasn't until the person on her body left that Qin Meixiang sat up slowly and looked up at the chandelier.

Xu Pingshan turned his back suddenly, and swept everything on the coffee table to the ground: "Satisfied? Get lost!"

Qin Meixiang stood up with limp hands and feet, and silently put on her clothes.Walking out with a limp, there was the frightened face of the orderly at the door.There was no more sound behind him.

He endured it, but still couldn't help turning his head back, only to see Xu Pingshan sitting on the side of the coffee table with his head in his arms, like a silent statue.

It was dark outside, and he walked slowly along the road to his home.There is no moon in the sky, only a few stars.He wanted to smile because he was free at last.But Xu Pingshan is always in front of him with his head in his arms.Then there was the sound of gunshots, in my heart, one after another.Every time there was a sound, he couldn't help shivering.

Walking like this, before I knew it, my face was getting wet.
