Red Paper Umbrella (II)

The boss drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, and then pulled his tie, obviously a little stuffy. Yes, it was a scorching summer day in June outside, and the air conditioning was not turned on inside the antique shop, so it was strange that it was not hot.

"How is it, don't you envy this way of meeting?" the boss looked at Gao Jia, who was a little fascinated by the story.

The latter nodded, "This...... This is indeed very enviable. ”

Fill the cup with tea again, "There are thousands of ways to meet in the world, and the most memorable thing is to be tempted by a glance." ”

After another cup of tea, the boss pursed his lips along the way.

Chen ...... Boss Chen...... When I came in, I saw you drinking...... Right now...... Why are you drinking tea again?" Gao Jia saw that the boss drank tea so happily, which was different from the image of holding a wine glass when he first saw it.

"I'm a person, I usually drink a little wine to relieve boredom when I don't have business, so now we are sitting here to talk about business, so naturally we want to drink some tea to refresh ourselves." Shaking the small teacup lightly, he looked at Gao Jia's delicate cheeks.

Gao Jia seemed to notice the boss's gaze, so he hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the tea in the cup. With a gentle shake, ripples are raised.

Chen ...... Boss Chen...... You continue. ”

The boss put down the teacup and exhaled a hot breath, "Don't worry, the story has just begun." ”

The famous singer Gao Xia sang a song of farewell to the overlord, and she was shocked by the south of the Yangtze River, but she was already the top brand of Fengyue Lou when she was eighteen years old. A thousand two waves laughed, ten thousand two songs were one, in the hearts of talented people on both sides of the Yangtze River, Gao Xia was no different from a fairy in the sky.

But a woman is a woman, if she is not forced by life, there is a woman who is willing to do this business of drinking and laughing.

Don't look at Gao Xia's current scenery, she also had a sad experience when she was a child.

When Gao Xia was a child, her father was addicted to gambling and lost all her property, and her mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, and finally died on the bed. But the mother's death not only did not make the father repent, but became more and more addicted, and finally owed a lot of debt. was really desperate, so his father put his mind on the young Gao Xia.

At that time, Gao Xia was only six or seven years old, but she was already a beautiful embryo. All major Qinglou art houses will train female singers from an early age, so that they can become a good money-making tool when they become adults.

So Gao Xia's father gritted his teeth and sold little Gao Xia to Fengyue Building. Since then, Xiao Gaoxia has been destined for the fate of this life.

And his bastard father never saw him again, but later I heard that because he owed a large sum of money, he was beaten to death in the east of the city, and by the time the time the body was found, it was already rotten.

Gao Xia was not only not sad when she heard the news, but there was a trace of joy in her heart.

Fengyuelou is very strict with the cultivation of little girls, Gao Xia was beaten, punished and starved, in order to even the ten fingers of the piano were scarred, and her voice was hoarse in order to practice. The day has finally come to the stage.

It was Gao Xia's first time on stage, and that night the Fengyue Tower was full, and dignitaries from all walks of life came to hear the news.

That night, Gao Xia took the stage to sing a song Farewell My Concubine, and it was this song that made Gao Xia and Fengyuelou successful.

In just one year, Fengyue Building has surpassed several floors and become a well-deserved first building in the south of the Yangtze River. And Gao Xia deservedly became the first person in Fengyue Tower.

became the master of the thousand taels of gold just to laugh and ten thousand taels of silver just to listen to a song.

In the eyes of others, this should be very beautiful, but who knows how much she has suffered behind her back, and how many whips she has received?

Today is the birthday of the famous silk merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, the son of the Zhao family, so the son of the Zhao family who spent a lot of money chartered the entire Fengyue Tower, just to listen to the song of the overlord Farewell Concubine of Ling Gaoxia.

There is a huge and luxurious stage in the center of Fengyue Tower, and under this stage is full of people, all dressed in brocade clothes. Sitting in the front row of the stage, there is a handsome boy, dressed in a golden brocade robe, showing the atmosphere of wealth. This is the master of tonight's birthday, the son-in-law of the Zhao family.

"Xiao Sun, can you go and see if the peach blossom umbrella made for Miss Gao Xia has been delivered?" said the son of the Zhao family as he greeted a subordinate beside him.

The man replied and withdrew.

Nine out of ten of the birthdays of the sons of the Zhao family are the sons of famous rich people or officials in the Jiangnan area, and his birthday can be placed in Fengyue Tower, which is enough to show the high status of Fengyue Tower, or the high status of the famous singer Gao Xia.

Chen Linjun was entrusted by the people of the Zhao family to make a peach blossom umbrella, saying that he wanted their son-in-law to give a gift to Gao Xia, the first person in Jiangnan.

Chen Linjun has never set foot in this land of wind and moon, first, he has no spare money, and second, he does not have this idle time. Today is purely to send an umbrella to the son of the Zhao family, so he set foot in this land of wind and moon.

"It's a luxurious place. Chen Linjun stood outside the door, looking at the pure gold signboard of Fengyue Tower, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he sighed, a person who looked like a man came out of the Fengyue Tower.

"Are you the one who came to deliver the peach blossom umbrella to Zhao Gongzi?" asked the next man.

"It's down there. Chen Linjun nodded and replied.

"Come in, my son-in-law is waiting. The servant beckoned to him and led him in.

"Today is the birthday of our Zhao Gongzi, and our Fengyue Building is also here, I wish our Zhao Gongzi wealth and wealth every year, and wealth every year. "The shopkeeper of Fengyue Building is a bloated woman with a very shrewd brain, who knows who everyone in the audience is here for, and after a few simple polite words, she will no longer talk nonsense.

"Next, let's invite our Gao Xia girl!"

The lights gradually dimmed, leaving only a beam of light on the stage. Everyone held their breath, waiting for something to appear.

In a flash of light, a beautiful woman holding a red paper umbrella fell from the sky, like a fairy appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone in the audience was stunned, and the son of the Zhao family just picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but the movements in his hands stopped and did not move.

The beautiful woman is dressed in white, with the bright red paper umbrella is very outstanding, a song and singing are heartfelt, and a dance is fascinating.

"Such a woman, has it ever existed in the world?" The son of the Zhao family couldn't help but exclaim, as if something had been caught in his heart.

And in the dark audience, mixed with the stunned eyes, Chen Linjun was also fascinated.

The beautiful woman, the red paper umbrella, the sudden rain, one by one appeared in my mind, and I couldn't calm down in my heart for a long time.

After a dance, the lights under the stage were lit up, and the beautiful woman stood on the stage and thanked everyone in the audience, in exchange for a round of applause and admiration.

Chen Linjun was stunned in place, if it weren't for the Zhao family's subordinates who pushed him, he might not be able to come back to his senses.

He looked down at the peach blossom umbrella he had made in his hand, and walked towards the Zhao family's son.

Gao Xia stepped down from the stage and toasted to the Zhao family's son, after all, he was the master of tonight.

"Miss Gao's song Farewell My Concubine is so intoxicated. The son of the Zhao family picked up the wine glass and praised it endlessly.

Gao Xia smiled slightly, and drank all the wine in the cup, "Zhao Gongzi can come to my Fengyue Tower today, it is my honor to Fengyue Tower, and it is an honor for a little woman to be able to enjoy the little girl's play and dance." ”

"Hahaha, Miss Gao's words are too much, you must know how many people are fighting for their heads just to see Miss Gao's face. Today is the honor of my son, to be able to see such an amazing dance. It's a great blessing in life, a great blessing. The son of the Zhao family laughed heartily, and the people around him also laughed.

At this time, Chen Linjun approached the son of the Zhao family with a peach blossom umbrella, he was dressed in plain clothes, which was in stark contrast to everyone around him, which also made him feel a sense of inferiority.

"Childe, your umbrella. When Chen Linjun handed over the umbrella, he looked at Gao Xia, who looked like a fairy, with his spare eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Gao Xia glanced at Chen Linjun and laughed instead.

I don't know how many people present were fascinated by this laughter.

The son of the Zhao family, who took the umbrella, smiled at Gao Xia, handed over the wrapped peach blossom umbrella, and said with a smile: "Miss Gao, this is for you." ”

Gao Xia was stunned for a while, but didn't reach out to take it, "Today's Zhao Gongzi's birthday, why does the little girl still have a gift?"

The son of the Zhao family laughed when he heard this, "The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze." This is a peach blossom umbrella that I specially ordered with a famous umbrella maker in the south of the Yangtze River, lined with a song of farewell concubine by the high girl, isn't it wonderful?"

After hearing this, Gao Xia first saluted slightly, and then shook her head with a smile.

"Zhao Gongzi has a heart, but I think this peach blossom umbrella is no better than the little woman's red paper umbrella. In addition, today is Zhao Gongzi's birthday, and the little woman must not accept this gift. ”

"Oh, is it?" As soon as these words came out, the son of the Zhao family looked a little embarrassed, and some broken words were also spread from the people around him.

"This woman really doesn't know what to do, and she even dares not to accept Zhao Gongzi's gift. ”

"Yes, you must know that Zhao Gongzi is a well-known figure in our Jiangnan area, and a drama dares to be so bold. ”

The smile on the face of the Zhao family gradually disappeared, and he waved his hand to signal the surroundings not to make any more undeserved sounds. So the people around him closed their mouths very interestingly.

Chen Linjun heard what Gao Xia said, and his heart trembled, as if something was pouring out, and his cheeks were slightly red.

"Since Miss Gao doesn't like it, forget it. The son of the Zhao family casually threw the peach blossom umbrella in his hand to a subordinate.

Gao Xia smiled apologetically, "The little woman bears Zhao Gongzi's intentions, and she should be punished." She picked up a jug of wine from the table, "The little woman punished herself with three glasses to make amends." After that, Gao Xia drank three glasses of wine in a row.

"Okay, Miss Gao has a lot of alcohol. Seeing Gao Xia drinking so happily, the son of the Zhao family couldn't help but applaud, and everyone around him also echoed.

Gao Xia poured wine into the cup again, "This cup of wine, I salute this umbrella craftsman." The little woman's red paper umbrella is very similar to the craftsmanship of this umbrella maker. ”

This made Chen Linjun suddenly at a loss, so he could only pick up a glass of wine from the table in a panic.

"Oh, there are still people who are not inferior to this Chen umbrella craftsman? You must know that this Chen umbrella craftsman inherits his father's business, but he is a well-known umbrella master in the south of the Yangtze River. Hearing this, the son of the Zhao family asked with some curiosity.

Gao Xia drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, collided with Chen Linjun's gaze, and looked at each other.

"It's like the autumn rain blowing paper umbrellas, and everyone in the world is warm. The peach blossom umbrella is beautiful, but it can't compare to the tenderness in the heart of the red paper umbrella. ”
