Chapter 23: The Intractable Situation (7)

He got up and went to pick it up.

Jing Yi passed by him when he went upstairs, and he could hear the laughter of the second young master of the Pu family in the microphone. Tao Xiao glanced at her, snorted, and obviously replied to Jing Yi who went upstairs. The soft cotton shoes on her feet stepped on the flat red carpet step by step, the brick-red face was hanging down with a beaded robe, the trousers with loose legs slowly swayed under the robe, and a pair of goldfish were embroidered on the trouser legs, as if they could swim...... He listened to Pu Xiutian say that they chartered the scene in the Jixiang Theater in the evening, and asked him to go to the theater to relax together, if he didn't come to listen to the theater, he would go to Dexiang Building to spend the night after the show.

He said yes.

When I put down the earpiece, I looked again, and the goldfish had already swam away...... When he turned around, he saw the maid tidying up the table and about to take away the newspapers, and he said that he would bring them to my study.

He didn't have any arrangements today, and Pu Xiutian asked him to go with his second brother in the evening. The play is sung by famous actors, but for some reason it is not so exciting. Looking at the generals on the stage, his mind was full of the ups and downs of the past year.

Tao Si saw him like this, asked him to go back earlier, and said, "I will replace you if there is something a year ago." There are also Zhongcheng and Dunhuang, both of whom are very capable people. It's rare to rest for a few days, and you accompany Jingyi at home. Your second sister-in-law said that Jingyi is always bored at home, so it is better to take her out for a walk when she is free. ”

Tao Xiang smiled and didn't make a sound.

The brow was slightly furrowed.

Jingyi, I'm afraid I may not be willing to go out with him......

Pu Xiutian smiled on the side: "Muzhi, you still have to frown, we don't want to spend this New Year." ”

Tao Xiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Second Brother Pu.

Pu Xiutian said with a smile: "You are really complacent this year, what else is there to be dissatisfied?" He said and asked the head of the class to come over. He pointed to Tao Xiang and explained to the class master, "Tao Qiye has to sing whatever he orders today, if he doesn't sing, he will be happy and won't give you money today, you have to find money!" ”

The class owner smiled and looked at Tao Xiang.

Tao Xiang waved him down, but Pu Xiutian didn't follow, so he had no choice but to order "Battle Taiping". When Pu Xiutian heard this, he smiled and said Lao Qi, you are really good at it, this new one is a big hit. The group laughed. Tao Xiang has not been in the opera garden for a long time, but he is also familiar with the temperament of these people, and he knows in his heart that the characters in this play have a bit of origin. Sure enough, when she appeared, she was an unusually delicate female actor.

"I'm only seventeen from Shanghai, and I'm already singing a little bit on the big stage." Pu Xiutian whispered to Tao Xiang, "Wait a while, Dexiang Building, I'll ask the class master to bring her." If you like it, take her away today. ”

Before Tao Xiao could speak, the folding fan in Tao Si's hand snapped on Pu Xiutian's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't do good things." ”

Pu Xiutian laughed.

Tao Xiang sat for a while, and Ma Xingjian came in and whispered a few words in his ear. He got up and went out. Several urgent telegrams were presented to him. He read it and dictated the reply. The pony is gone, and he smokes two cigarettes outside. A little upset, I wandered around the corridor twice. I vaguely heard someone arguing. He stood down and saw the head of the class coming out of the backstage in a rage. Seeing him, he was stunned, nodded and called Commander Tao.

He glanced at him faintly and went in as usual.

The play ended, and a group of people went to Dexiang Building.

Halfway through the wine, the troupe owner really brought someone here. The seventeen-year-old girl was arranged to sit next to Tao Xiang, called him Commander Tao, and said to pour wine for Commander Tao...... Tao Xiang looked at this girl coldly, her eyebrows and eyes were clear, her face was beautiful, and her beauty was really not the most beautiful, it was a pair of big eyes, revealing brilliance, which made people see that she was a bold and a little charming, which was the fresh taste of a girl at this age.

Tao Xiang drank a lot of wine, Tao Si saw that it was almost over, and he was about to leave, and he didn't necessarily pull Tao Xiang away. Tao Xiang also let the second brother go back first. Tao Si frowned, but didn't say anything, and left first.

As soon as Tao Si left, the others left one after another.

The girl didn't go.

Tao Xiang was drunk and hazy, looked at her, and pointed to the door.

He watched as the girl went and closed the door. Outside the door, Ma Xingjian and Li Dalong shouted when they saw this. He answered and said it was fine. There was no sound outside.

He leaned on the Luohan bed, watched the girl turn around and walk towards him, looked at him through the bamboo curtain, and said, "Come here." ”

The girl hesitated, but could not move for a long time. When he got closer, he looked at her and asked, "What's it called?" ”

"Dong'er. Meng Dong'er. She replied.

Tao Xiang smiled and said, "Good name." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold her, and almost instantly, Meng Dong'er fell into his arms. She twisted her hands and feet, leaned against him, and a faint smell of fat and alcohol burrowed into his nose.

He froze, and raised his hand to her collar.

"Commander Tao," Meng Dong'er lowered her head, grabbed her collar and didn't let go, "Commander Tao, don't ......"

Tao Xiang asked with a smile: "You came tonight, don't you know what to do?" ”

Meng Dong'er still lowered her head. Tao Xiang made a move, and the two buttons under the collar of Meng Dong'er's cheongsam collapsed. Tao Xiang saw that Meng Dong'er's face suddenly turned red. She is a woman with a martial arts background, she shook off Tao Xiang's hand in a flash, eagerly pulled out the hairpin in the middle of the hair, and put her hand against Tao Xiang's throat.

"Commander Tao, I said goodbye." She was small and flexible, and she spoke like this, low, not wanting to alarm the people outside. "I'm an artist, not a person. Whoever wants me, it has to be Ming Media Marrying. ”

"Oh?" Tao Xiang tilted his neck,
