Chapter 10: The Secret Hidden by Time (2)
Chang Lianyi has been missing for more than 40 years?
Yuwei and Su San were both taken aback, no wonder so many theaters and troupes didn't know about this person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoMore than 40 years ago, it was still the pre-Qing era.
The old man looked at Su San and then at Yu Wei, and saw that both of them were surprised, and he could see that these two people didn't seem to be running to have fun, so he said in a low voice: "Please come to the gatehouse." ā
The three of them sat down in the concierge, and the old man asked, "What the hell is going on, how can you have heard my senior brother sing, he was not long after he became famous, and he didn't have time to make a record, so you couldn't have heard it." ā
Yu Wei asked: "Old man, do you believe that ghosts are possessed." ā
Su San explained on the side: "It can't be said that it is possessed by a ghost, I think it is your senior brother Chang Lianyi's brain waves that still have remnants, which affect Mr. Dusk." ā
Yu Wei glanced at Su San and whispered, "Talking to this uncle about brain waves, do you want to scare him?" ā
The old man smiled: "Actually, I have also read books, read the hall of Beijing Normal University, and I have really heard these terms such as brain waves." āć
"Ah, it turns out that the old man has studied in the hall of Jingshi University, no wonder I heard you speak with a bit of a Dongcheng accent."
Yu Wei was a little puzzled again: "Then you, now...... How did it come to this? ā
After he said this, he was a little embarrassed and explained: "Old man, I am ......"
"No need to explain, hehe, young man, I understand what you mean, it would be incredible for anyone to see me like this today, but for me, watching the door here and listening to the drama for free every day is already the greatest happiness in life, I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions."
The old man said with a smile on his face, a satisfied and comfortable expression on his face, and it could be seen that he was really enjoying his current life.
"It all started when I became obsessed with singing."
The old man's memories brought Su San and Yu Wei back to more than 40 years ago, when Emperor Guangxu and Lafayette died, the whole capital was lifeless, there could be no singing and dancing entertainment, the old man was born in a family of eunuchs, was studying in the Beijing Normal University Hall, and liked to sing since he was a child, but at that time, the children of rich families, holding a play, it was normal to have nothing to do with a play, if you really go to sing, you will be spurned by the family, this is not allowed to be a folk entertainment order, the old man feels that the whole life has no taste.
Yu Wei nodded again and again when he heard this. Their family also likes to sing, the brothers and sisters are idle and have nothing to do at home, playing the huqin by the lake in the garden and banging on the bangzi can sing, outsiders will only say a word of elegance when they see it, it is really a cultural family is different, but his third brother really wanted to run to sing later, and was almost killed by his grandfather.
"The Seventh Master is still singing, so I can't?"
The third brother was still unconvinced after being whipped a few times, and he was stubborn.
"The Seventh Master is a ticket play, and the Seventh Master has only performed for the provinces, when do you think the Seventh Master will play for those ordinary people?"
The old grandfather's beard is upturned.
Yuwei told the old man about these past events, and the old man slapped his thigh: "Yes, you are still in the Republic of China era, and I am the former Qing Dynasty, and I look down on the drama." I was devoted to singing, but my family couldn't resist me, so they kicked me out of the house, claiming that from now on everything I had nothing to do with the family and that I would be left to my own devices. My family is very powerful in the north, and I can't stay in the north anymore, so I came to Nanjing and named myself Jade Qilin. ā
Su San looked at the emaciated old man in Li Hei, and thought to himself that his stage name in the past was Jade Qilin, this jade must be good looking, and the word Qilin is probably because he acted in martial arts?
Sure enough, the old man smiled: "The two of you may now think that the name of this jade unicorn is not suitable for me as an old man, more than forty years ago, I was very beautiful." Good looks, good martial arts skills, in Nanjing and Shanghai is very popular for a while, that is, at that time, I re-apprenticed to a famous team name, Chang Lianyi started earlier than me, and became my senior brother. ā
Senior brother and junior brother, one is Chang Danjiao, one is a martial artist, one is soft and one is heroic, and they have been together for a long time. Senior brother Chang Lianyi grew up in the troupe since he was a child, and he suffered a lot and envied the readers. The younger brother Yu Qilin has a superior family background since childhood, and is a scholar, because he is obsessed with singing and being kicked out of the house, Chang Lianyi has a good impression of this new junior brother, and takes care of it every day, at this time Chang Lianyi is already a famous Danjiao, and the jade unicorn has just started, usually the two cooperate, and thanks to this Chang Lianyi care, the reputation of the jade unicorn is becoming more and more obvious, and the feelings for the senior brother Chang Lianyi are getting deeper and deeper.
"You can't understand it, two men...... How could there be anything...... Children have a private relationship, but at that time I really liked my brother, and my brother liked me, and we were still living together at that time. ā
Su San and Yu Wei looked at each other, Su San nodded and said, "Old man, you go on, how did Chang Lianyi disappear?" ā
Su San used to read the novels of ancient literati notes, and knew that there were often such things in some theater troupes, and he didn't want to ask more about the stories at the moment, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the old man.
The old man sighed: "I remember very clearly, that day the senior brother went to the Li family to sing in the hall, oh, the Li family is the most famous salt merchant in this city, the family is rich, and the government has someone to take care of." Senior brother didn't want to go, he told me in private, that the master of the Li family likes to play with rabbits, we are plays, but we are not the kind of people who rely on making mixed rice for others, we rely on our own skills. ā
When the old man said this, his eyes lit up, and his dark and thin face also brightened.
"Senior brother also has some kung fu on his body, I wasn't very worried about him at the time, so I let him go, how did I think he would never go back, I went to the Li family to look for it, and was beaten out by the Li family, I was anxious and had no choice, to find the class master, but the class owner laughed at me and said that the senior brother disliked me for being poor, and was kicked out of the house without interest, I was afraid that I ran away with the powerful people. Later, I went to the government to accuse the Li family of murdering my senior brother, but the government refused to accept my petition. The old man said that tears flowed down, his face was full of fine and dense wrinkles, it was really old tears, where was there still the demeanor of the jade unicorn back then.
"I had no way to ask for help, and then it was recovered soon after, and there was chaos in various places, and there was no way to find out the whereabouts of my senior brother, and when the situation stabilized, I went to sue again, and the lord of the military government said that this was a case of the previous dynasty, and now I can't control it, I don't want to cause trouble for them. In this way, I could only ask around to find it, but I could not find the whereabouts of my senior brother, and I knew that he must have been killed by the Li family. ā
"What about the Li family? You didn't go to the Li family later? ā
"At that time, it was too chaotic, the Li family was rich and was targeted, and when the whole family returned to the countryside, they were robbed, the men were killed, and the women and children were robbed." The old man sighed and continued, "If it is really the Li family who killed the senior brother, then the Li family can be regarded as having received retribution. ā
Su San reported the address of the house in Dui Yunping and asked, "Old man, this house used to be the property of the Li family?" ā
The old man has been thinking about the Li family's killing of his senior brother for many years, and he has long been familiar with the Li family's industry, and when he heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, it is the Li family's house, and I heard that it is the marriage of the young grandmother of the Li family." ā
"That's right, my hair is small because I live there and am dressed by Chang Lian."
Yu Wei slapped the table: "Old man, your senior brother is not authentic, do you have to pull someone on your back when you suffered back then?" He can't torture me like that. ā
