Chapter 25: Door-to-door urging
It was indeed not the right time for Du Fu to come, but since everyone had already come, Li Bai could only greet him at the gate of the villa in person.
"Du Zimei, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I told you, I texted you last night, and you didn't receive it?"
Li Bai was stunned for a moment, his mobile phone was out of battery last night by Du Fu, and he went to Zhang Yi to "settle accounts" when he got up early this morning, but he didn't have time to charge, who knows that Du Fu will send him a text message?
"Let's go, you're just in time, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, let's talk while drinking!"
Li Bai accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, but in fact he wanted to pull Du Fu to drink.
Du Fu shook his head with a serious face and said, "I ate breakfast on the way here, and I quit drinking." ”
"What did you say?"
Li Bai turned his head in surprise, looking at Du Fu's eyes as if he were looking at an alien.
Du Fu explained with a wry smile: "Some time ago, I was not feeling well, and I was forced by my wife to go to the hospital for an examination, and then I was found to have an alcoholic liver, and my wife has not allowed me to drink anymore. ”
Du Fu is afraid of guilt, which is why he is well-known in the circle, but as Du Fu's close friend, Li Bai knows that Du Fu actually loves his wife too much and tolerates everywhere, so he has a reputation of "strict wife control".
On this issue, Li Bai not only did not sympathize with Du Fu, but was very envious.
Because Du Fu is a typical old cow eating tender grass, his wife is fifteen years younger than him, the old husband and young wife are generally more powerful, plus Du Fu's wife is really powerful, after marrying Du Fu, he will take care of his work in an orderly manner, when he got married at the age of forty, Du Fu could only be regarded as a second-tier director at best, and he was the kind that ranked very low, but since marrying his wife, his career has immediately advanced by leaps and bounds, and in just a few years, he has become a first-line director in Datang, and Li Bai is called "Li Du".
Of course, there is the accumulation of Du Fu's accumulation, but it has a lot to do with Mrs. Du Fu's shrewd skills.
In addition, the other party is a big beauty, typical with chest and brains, and after marriage, he gave birth to two big fat boys to Du Fu one after another, and took care of Du Fu comfortably in life and work, if there is such a wife, Li Bai is also willing to be a wife and be strict.
"Okay, since my sister-in-law doesn't let me drink, then I won't drink it, this Jinghu Villa has a unique scenery, since you are here, you might as well stay for a few more days, anyway, His Royal Highness (Li Xian) is also a hospitable person, and I will definitely be very happy to learn that you are coming." ”
"I have already greeted His Royal Highness before I came, and I will have to stay here for a few days. ”
Du Fu is a very cautious person, there must always be a reason to come to Jinghu Villa, originally he wanted to tell Li Xian that he was here to urge Zhang Yi to hurry up and write "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he couldn't wait to read it, but Mrs. Du felt that it was inappropriate and asked him to change the reason, so it became the best excuse to come to Li Bai.
Li Bai didn't know that he was used by Du Fu as a cover, and when he learned that Du Fu could stay here for a few more days, he immediately grabbed Du Fu's arm happily and said: "That's good, but my sister-in-law doesn't mind staying alone in the empty room, you and I can live here for a long time, and enjoy poetry and wine every day, indulging in mountains and rivers, isn't it happy?"
"Taibai, I heard that His Royal Highness's beloved daughter, Princess Anle's concubine also lives in the villa, yesterday I watched the half of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you sent me, and I was really itchy about the later text, if it is convenient, I want to meet this concubine now. ”
Du Fu is an upright character, he can't hide things in his heart, and he told Li Bai about his intentions straight to the point.
Under normal circumstances, Li Bai should have taken Du Fu directly to see Zhang Yi, but he had just touched a soft nail at Zhang Yi's place before, and at this time, let him go to Zhang Yi again, he couldn't put aside this face.
"There's no hurry, Zimei, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, usually you're busy making movies and don't have time, take advantage of this time you have time, let's have a good chat, I'll tell you......"
Before Li Bai could shift the topic, he was directly interrupted by Du Fu.
"Taibai, you can talk about the old later, I still want to see the horse master first. ”
Du Fu's uprightness has always been something Li Bai admires, but this time he was a little speechless.
Big brother, your head is too tendony, right? I didn't hear that my so-called reminiscence was just a pretext, and the real reason was that I didn't want to see Zhang Yi at this time.
Du Fu is not stupid, when he saw Li Bai like this, he immediately reacted, and the relationship between Li Bai and Zhang Yi did not seem to be as good as he imagined.
Of course, Du Fu will have such a misjudgment, mainly due to the influence of stereotyped thinking, because King Li Xian is a person who likes to make friends with celebrities, whether it is a famous writer, musician, director or even actor, they are all his guests.
Now it seems that things are very different from what he thought.
Because of this world's celebrities, the reputation can beat them "Li Du" and the two can be counted with two hands, no matter where he and Li Bai go on weekdays, they are carefully offered, so that Li Bai can touch a nose of ash, this horse master seems to be really different from what he imagined!
The more this is the case, the stronger Du Fu's desire to see Zhang Yi becomes.
To be honest, it has been a long time since anyone has been so interested in Du Fu, not to mention that there is also a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that has already made him a god after only half of it.
"If Taibai is inconvenient, then I will have someone officially send a greeting to the horse, so that you should be able to see him in person, right?"
Du Fu said this, Li Bai couldn't care about those Xu faces, in fact, he really asked Du Fu to hand over a letter to ask to see Zhang Yi, for him, it was a real loss of face to his grandmother's house.
I can't even figure out a little pony, where will Li Bai's face go?
Although Du Fu is not the kind of person with a big mouth, Li Bai can't afford to lose that person.
"It's okay, I just met with the colt, he's having breakfast, he should have finished eating by now, let's go to the study to find him, usually he will practice calligraphy over there." ”
"You didn't just have a fight with the colt, did you?"
Li Bai, who was about to turn around and lead the way, stumbled on his feet and almost didn't stand firm.
Big brother, can we not speak so upright?
Why did I quarrel with Zhang Yi, it wasn't to help you urge Zhang Yi to change, but now it's good, I've become the one who is not a person inside and out.
If it were someone else, Li Bai would have walked away a long time ago, but he really had nothing to do with Du Fu, because he knew that Du Fu was such a straightforward person, if he hadn't married a shrewd wife, let alone become a great director with his emotional intelligence, just saying the wrong thing and offending people would have enough for him to drink several pots.
