Miss Mu and the Canary

In the spring of 1912, after three months of struggle, the Beijing government's "Fighting Immortals" finally settled, and the Yuan family won a complete victory.Since then, various places have finally changed from the bleak atmosphere of gunpowder and gunfire in previous years, and gradually emerged the scene of spring.

In contrast, Wenjiang, which was not at the center of the war, naturally became more lively.

On this vernal equinox, it coincided with the birthday of Gao Tang, the young prince of the former dynasty who is now the most popular inspector of Fucha in front of the Yuan family. There was a big banquet at the governor's mansion, which was full of gongs and drums, and it was very lively.In addition, the Three Heavens Party was held in the garden, where Mr. Feng from Laijiang Opera Garden was invited to play a play, and there was also a play by the new female senior, Miss Feng's family who was only 16 years old.

Therefore, at [-] o'clock in the evening, there was a big banquet in the front hall of the Governor's Mansion, and there were people coming and going at the entrance of the back garden.Quite a few people presented congratulatory gifts but didn't attend the banquet, but just went to the stage, and they came purely for the Feng family troupe!

At the entrance of the front hall, after accepting an expensive congratulatory gift, the account manager smiled at the man in front of him and said, "Dare to ask your honorable name, so that you can easily register."

The young man was wearing a long gown and a soft cap with the brim pressed down very low, looking around.Hearing this, he looked to the side again, then bent down to get in front of the manager, and whispered: "Mu family, Mu Xue."

Seeing the nervous appearance of the man, the account manager was still a little strange. At this time, he was shocked and said: "Miss Mu?! How do you dress up like this... Your father and all the halls are at the table, hurry up, send someone to invite the lady ..."

Mu Lingxue hurriedly stopped the account manager: "Sir, please don't say anything! I have visited the old lady yesterday, and this time I just came to watch a play, so don't alarm the family."

Organizing hair-cutting parades, investing in women's public bathrooms, publicly displaying body portraits at art exhibitions... Although Miss Mu's family is only [-] years old, her reputation as a deviant has long been spread throughout Wenjiang, and account management has also heard of it. He also submissively closed his voice.

After writing down the congratulatory gifts, the account manager arranged for someone to send Mu Lingxue into the garden: "Miss, there are some high-class seats reserved in the house, please let someone take you there."

Mu Lingxue waved her hand: "No need, I'd better leave the upper class seats to my father and the others. My maid has just gone in to occupy a seat." After finishing speaking, she pressed down on the brim of her hat and mixed into the crowd to go into the garden .

Although the garden of the Governor's Mansion is large, there are too many people who come here admiringly. Mu Lingxue searched for a long time before finding her maid in the corner.

There were many people in the garden, and Jing Ye, who was also disguised as a man, took a hat to fan Mu Xuexue and asked, "Little... why do you want to sit in the corner seat? When I came in to occupy a seat, there was still What a good location! It's slanted and slanted here, what can you see?"

Mu Nexue pointed to the exit of the stage where the two were facing each other: "Did you see the 'Outgoing General' on the top? After a while, Miss Feng's family will come out from here, and I will be the first to see her."

Jing Ye curled her lips: "What's the use of the young master seeing her, and she doesn't know us, so it's useless to look at her."

Mu Lingxue stared, and gave Jing Ye a headache: "You're the only one who talks too much!"

Jing Ye suffered from pain, and said with a wrinkled face: "This is the truth! Besides, young master, you have only heard her play a few times, and you don't even know what kind of temperament she is, so you just step on the spot to find her, what is it like? look!"

Not knowing what kind of mind was touched, Mu Negxue lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled to herself: "I don't need to touch her, just listen to her song, and I will know what kind of person she is."

Before I could speak again, the gongs and drums on the stage sounded, indicating that the play had already begun, and it was Feng Yingtian's famous play "Empty City Strategies".After a door step, Feng Yingtian appeared on the left side of the stage. As soon as he appeared, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience.

"it is good!"

Mu Lingxue was close, and even though the lights were dazzling, she still had a good look at the people on the stage.Look at her appearance, look at her figure, look at that ink-heavy face, look at those bright and affectionate eyes...

The applause was endless, and the chic and elegant accent was even more shocking in the just-right accompaniment, hitting Lingxue's heart piece by piece.The lights and shadows were dazzling, and the hot and dull air floated in front of his eyes like a fog, covering all the people in the audience and blocking the noise in his ears... Only she could be seen, and he only wanted to see her.

The music stopped abruptly, and the cheers flooded the garden like a wave. When Mu Lingxue came back to his senses, the actors on the stage had long since disappeared.

"People, where are people?" She asked in a daze.

Jing Ye said: "It's time to end, Miss Feng only has this scene today, the next scene is... Hey Miss? Miss!"

Getting up hastily, Mu Lingxue pushed through the crowd and ran backstage, but was stopped outside the door.

"Have you seen this sign? Idlers are not allowed to enter, please come back, my lord."

Mu Yingxue said urgently: "I just want to say a word to Miss Feng, just say a word!"

Anbao has long been familiar with this situation, and said: "It's not like this to hold horns, young master, next time you give more money, our horns will definitely meet you. Of course, today you are rich but not destined, we The girl has something to hurry to leave!"

Conscience of heaven and earth, today is the birthday of the warlord Gao Tang, who would dare to replace him and reward him with money?

No time to argue, Mu Lingxue chopped off her feet and ran out.However, at the end of a wonderful show, the next show was another boring singing show. Many guests got up and left the show, shoulder to shoulder, pushing and jostling. There was no room for Mu Lingxue to escape.When she finally ran out of the garden and found the corner gate for the theater troupe to enter and exit, she saw a rickshaw drifting away.

Looking at the rickshaw, Mu Lingxue was extremely tired and couldn't catch up anymore.She simply leaned against the whitewashed wall, gasping for breath and wanting to laugh for no reason.

She was panting, when suddenly the corner door opened with a creak, and two people came out.The two of them were talking, but they didn't expect that there was someone beside them, so they were startled.

Protecting Feng Yingtian behind her, the servant girl reprimanded: "Who are you?!"

Never expecting to meet again, Mu Nexue was already in a daze, just staring at Feng Yingtian in a daze, speechless.

Seeing her staring at him all the time, Feng Yingtian thought it was another frivolous child, and felt displeased, so he said: "Leave him alone, let's go."

When Feng Yingtian moved, Mu Nexue realized it, and she hurriedly said, "Miss Feng!"

Feng Yingtian never liked to be in contact with playboys, let alone being blocked in the door, he didn't want to talk to others, just walked forward.

Unexpectedly, Mu Lingxue did not relax, and followed up a few steps: "Girl, girl! How about listening to me?"

Frowning slightly, Feng Yingtian stood still, turned around with a cold face, and said, "Just say it."

Mu Nexue looked at her and said word by word: "Girl, you are like a jug."

I have never heard of people being so unreasonable to my own girl, and the maid immediately raised her eyebrows: "You are so brave!"

Stretching out his hand to stop the servant girl, Feng Yingtian looked at Mu Yingxue with a cold gaze: "I see that Your Excellency is half a bowl of mud, with limited skills and unbearable stink."

After that, she turned to leave, but Mu Lingxue didn't stop her, but said loudly: "You look like an invulnerable iron pot, but inside you hold a handful of spring, I want to smash your shell Son, take a peek at the flowers inside."

Feng Yingtian stopped again.

Mu Nexue looked at her back and smiled.

After a while, turning his face slightly, Feng Yingtian said: "If you can get the invitation letter of Miss Mu Yuan Xuexue's art exhibition, you will have the opportunity to knock on it."

The night wind suddenly tightened, and Jing Ye finally found her own lady on the road, and hurried over to put the cloak on the lady: "Miss! Why are you running so fast, there are so many people, what happened...Small, miss, what are you laughing at? There is no one else without you, so don't be enchanted..."

Reaching out and flicking Jing Ye's head, Mu Lingxue smiled and said: "You talk too much, let's go! There are big things to do next!"

Jing Ye pouted and covered her forehead: "What's the big deal?"

Looking up at the deep moonlight, Mu Lingxue smiled softly: "An art exhibition - the kind that is only open to one person."

(Finish)

Yingtian My Wife:

Seeing letters is like meeting.

I returned to Tonghua last night, and it is a quarter past three in the morning, and I am writing to you at my desk.

I told you in my last letter that I have returned to China.At first I thought that after I returned to my country, I wouldn’t have to suffer from the inspection anymore, but things were not going my way, and I went to various hospitals again, where I either had blood drawn or X-rays every day (do you remember that you said that this inspection really corrupts human relations? ), the inspection is cumbersome, and the medicine is difficult to swallow.Finally, a few days ago, the hospital issued a critical illness notice to me. Ah Xuan cried bitterly on my lap, but she didn't know how happy I was.

I got up early this morning, and I drew a picture for you. It didn’t take long as I imagined, but unexpectedly, I have been inking since morning until night.When I put down the pen, my hands were as swollen as the wheat-flavored bread from Shilin Coffee Shop (I had to eat another one the day before yesterday, thanks to Ah Xuan), but it was not as bright and full as the bread, which would only turn people off.

I'm old.I'm finally acknowledging the fact to myself that I'm getting old too.If someone told me ten years ago that one day I would lose all my vitality and youth and start to age completely mentally, I'm afraid I would have thrown him into the Wen River, and even you couldn't stop it.But today, I am willing to admit that I am old.

From the moment I lost you, everything about me is aging and annihilated, just to be reunited with you one day.

After returning to Wenjiang, I asked Jingye to inquire about the news of Feng's family. They are all fine, and Feng Yilou has finally become a character.Being able to no longer exist as "Feng Yingtian's younger brother", I don't know whether he will feel happy or sad.

At least I am very happy.How could the person who sent you to the ancestral hall with his own hands that day deserve your name as a prefix?

You see, I have never let go of it for so many years, so I also hope that no one can let it go, and everyone should accompany me and fall into hell together.You often say that I am fussy, but in this matter, you allow me to haggle for a while.

...

It's almost dawn.

Yingtian, goodbye for six years, please wait for me on the bridge of Naihe.

At that time, I call you, and you turn around.
