It was only seven o'clock at this time, and it was not yet time for entertainment, only a few sparse waiters were wiping the tables and chairs on the seats below, and only a few spotlights were slightly lit on the big stage.

Wan Chun and Jin Li sat in the box and chatted quietly for a while, glancing downstairs with their two eyes from time to time.

Jin Li is a very lively character, after sitting in the box for so long, she didn't see Tan Rulin coming, she couldn't help but feel bored, and she caught a glimpse of someone dancing in the glass dance room next door, so she smiled at Wan Chun: "Look here, they are dancing the Viennese waltz." ”

Wan Chun was also a little impatient, and turned her head away when she heard the words.

Sure enough, through the glass doors and windows, I saw two or three pairs of men and women in the small dance pool next door, beating with their waists and shoulders around.

Wan Chun glanced at it a few times, if it was in her previous life, she would only feel fresh, and she would feel that between men and women, she could also use this way to promote friendship. But in this life, she felt sick when she thought that behind this well-dressed man, it was possible that his wife at home was still waiting with the lights on. Then he turned his head, looked downstairs as usual and said, "It doesn't mean much, you can see for yourself, I'll see if my brother-in-law has come." ”

Jin Li was still looking at the glass room, because she knew that Wanchun was quiet or not, she said she wouldn't watch it, so she turned her head and smiled: "These people are probably new, and the dance is really awkward, so don't look at it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dance music on that side stopped, and only a burst of drums shook the sky like a rain shower, followed by a string of piano sounds, like arrows off the strings, flickering and disappearing. At this time, the lights downstairs have been completely turned on, and the entertainment hall is as bright as day, Wanchun leaned down through the guardrail in front of him, and saw two columns of infantry neatly stepping into the entrance.

He is really ruthless, the second sister Zhong Qingzhong is about to give birth, and he can't keep his mind in the end.

Jin Li also saw it clearly, and when she saw this style, she couldn't help patting the armrest of the small sofa chair sitting under her and said hatefully: "What a great majesty!" It's too much, just to cheer up a show, and pull the garrison here, look at me and say something nice. ”

Wanchun didn't think so, but the main event hadn't appeared yet, so she had to be patient, so she persuaded Jin Li: "Don't panic first, we have to wait for that woman to come out before we can act." ”

When she said this, a white face was facing the direction of the glass dance room, with a graceful face and a noble temperament. Don't be wary of someone next door hearing their voices, and hurriedly glanced at the box here, and when he saw who was sitting inside, the expression on his face changed a few times.

Wan Chun didn't know that he had attracted the attention of others, and looked back at Tan Rulin who had already sat in the first seat of the audience, and the man in the suit who was waiting next to him was probably the stage master of the entertainment hall, nodding his head, and he didn't know what to say, and he could hear his laughter upstairs and downstairs, as if he had encountered something extremely pleasant.

The more he was so forgetful, the more Wanchun and Jin Li upstairs were upstairs fighting for Zhong Qing, and finally held back their temper and sat for half an hour before they heard a master of ceremonies on the stage announce: "Today is the third anniversary of our Miss Li Yujun's performance on stage, so our town guard Tan Erye specially chartered the entertainment hall for celebration." Today, all the guests who consume here, no matter how much, are all out of our Tan Erye, and I hope everyone has fun and dances. ”

As soon as he said that, the upstairs and downstairs became a sea of cheers, full of cheers and whistles, Jin Li covered her ears, she couldn't get angry, and she didn't know how to speak, so she had to kick the floor under her feet with the pointed toes of her leather shoes.

Wan Chun had seen her childishness, but she didn't care, and watched with a cold face as the large rouge-colored curtain on the stage slowly rose, revealing a long golden cane, one end of which was held in the hand of the bewitching woman of Double Ten Grace. The woman was wearing a bright red dance dress, half covered with a smear of snow, her chest was as high as a hill, and below it were big red dancing shoes of the same color, and the heels were as high as if the entertainers were stepping on a seesaw under the overpass. The mouth smeared with the new 'mulberry red' grease from Paris, the scarlet with a slight black, opened and closed under the light, Wanchun couldn't hear what she was saying in the noise, and in her selfish heart she only felt that it was just a big mouth, busy praying before the meal, and it was difficult for Tan Rulin to face such a person, and he was willing to spend money.

Li Yujun is singing a new song today, inheriting the characteristics of all the glamorous sounds of this era, the lyrics and songs are extremely gorgeous, and the people in the audience probably applauded her because they didn't have to pay, and from time to time you can hear the voice calling 'Encore'.

Jin Li had already stomped on the soles of her forefeet, and she didn't have the strength to stomp anymore, so she turned her head and wrinkled her good-looking willow eyebrows and shouted to Wanchun: "Sister, look at ......"

As for what to see, she didn't say that Wanchun knew it, but her mind was far more mature than her age, so she nodded a little, but there was no response.

Jin Li waited for a while, seeing that she didn't speak, and was about to open her mouth again, when she suddenly heard a slight curtain behind her, and a female voice smiled lowly: "Two, is it convenient to come in?" ”

Wan Chun and Jin Li hurriedly turned around, only to see a woman wearing a purple electric silk dress open the curtain, revealing most of her body outside the door, with a plain face, clear eyebrows, like a portrait of ink and blue, it was the sweet song queen hanging on the billboard of the entertainment hall - Mei Ruolan.

Jin Liyin is a frequent visitor to the entertainment hall, and she is familiar with several top brands in the entertainment hall, so she stood up with a smile and said, "Why are you, Miss Mei?" Come in, do you have a field today? ”

Mei Ruolan walked in with a smile, Wanchun saw that she couldn't stop looking at herself, so she stood up and bowed her head slightly to say hello.

Mei Ruolan first said to Jin Li: "I am not ready to go on stage today, but I have been working with Yujun for a long time, and I still want to give her a face and come to support the stage." But you, I haven't seen you for many days, how can I have time to come here today? ”

Jin Li thought that the ugliness of her family should not be publicized, so she pulled Wanchun over and said with a smile: "I came today to accompany my sister." ”

"Your sister?"

Mei Ruolan didn't know why, she suddenly looked surprised, so she glanced at Wanchun twice, and then smiled and said, "You really look like an old man." ”

Old friend? Wan Chun's heart jumped, and she asked Mei Ruolan with an embarrassed smile: "I don't know who that old man is?" How fortunate I am to be like her. ”

Mei Ruolan's eyes were like autumn waves, Ying Ying was tactful, and after a while, she said with a slight sigh: "You don't know her, she was the wife of Lu Ti of the Ministry of Taxation, and she was the same year as me, once she and her husband came to us to dance with Secretary General Song and his wife, which was my companion with Yujun." Now that I think about it, she was really a poor person, Lu Ti was finally promoted to deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, but she was not blessed, the last time I saw it, there was only a coffin, and a portrait painting was placed there. ”

"Really?" Wan Chun's face turned pale, and he reluctantly smiled.

No wonder Lu Jianhao willingly returned to Shanghai from the old capital, it turned out that he had already been promoted to an official position. From the tax department to the finance department, he also jumped to the second minister, if there was no one behind him, he would definitely not have climbed so fast. She couldn't be clearer about everything about the Lu family, there was absolutely no such noble person among the relatives who could help Lu Jianhao, otherwise he wouldn't have been in Shanghai for so many years before he got a promotion.

Wanchun inadvertently tightened her brows, now that she thinks about it, the anonymous letter she sent at the beginning was not replied to, probably because of the person behind Lu Jianhao, right? When the new official took office, there was such a thing that went against the principles of heaven and humanity, even if they didn't cover it up for Lu Jianhao, they had to take care of the backer's face.

But who will be behind him to help him?

She thought hard, but Mei Ruolan smiled and said: "Since you are here to support Yujun, she has the task of taking the stage today, as the host, it is not possible to entertain the two, so I will reluctantly make it difficult for her, if the two of you have any play you want to hear, I will also report to the backstage and ask them to prepare." ”

Jin Li saw that she really wanted to entertain herself and Wanchun, so she smiled and waved her hand and said, "Don't be polite to me, let's just do it at will, you can be busy with your go." ”

Mei Ruolan smiled and said a few more words to Jin Li, and when she was about to leave, she seemed to suddenly remember, and asked Wanchun: "I don't know what this young lady is called?" ”

Jin Li said quickly: "My sister is the fourth lady of the family of the director of the military science department of the Navy Department in the old Beijing, you can call her Miss Li." ”

"The Admiralty of the Old Beijing?" Mei Ruolanden was stunned for a moment, and only came back to her senses after a while, and covered her mouth with the white Hangzhou silk handkerchief and said with a light smile, "It's a pleasure to meet such a young lady, but it's a pity that there is no play for me today, otherwise I will definitely sing for you." ”

Wan Chun hurriedly thanked her for her kindness, Mei Ruolan stretched out her hand and shook her hand, and then lifted the green silk curtain with a smile and went out.

Wanchun sat on the sofa chair, uneasy by Mei Ruolan's words, and her mind was full of Lu Jianhao's promotion, but she forgot the purpose of coming today. Fortunately, Jin Li's eyes were strong, and when Mei Ruolan left, she looked downstairs, and just saw Tan Rulin taking Li Yujun's hand to the back lounge, so she quickly pushed Wanchun and said, "Let's go down quickly, just in time to catch them." ”

Wanchun came to her senses at this time, stood up with Jin Li, came out of the green silk curtains, and walked straight to the backstage along the spiraling stairs.

Seeing that it was a regular customer, the messenger in charge of guarding the backstage stepped forward with a smile and asked An Cai, "Miss, who are you looking for, I'll give you a report when you go in." ”
