Hearing Li Yifei's name, Zhang Lan, who had been numb like a piece of wood, finally reacted and asked in disbelief: "Is it really Brother Yifei?" ”

Seeing Zhang Lan's reaction, Hong Cheng slapped her angrily and scolded angrily: "You slut, you are really still thinking about him in your heart!" Now that he's a big deal, aren't you happy? But you don't want to think about it, now that you are my wife, he Li Yifei is useless no matter how rich he is! ”

Hong Cheng's words made Zhang Lan's eyes that had a hint of brilliance just now dim again, and the whole person returned to that wooden state again.

"But if you're obedient, it's not like I can't fulfill you, but it depends on whether your Brother Yifei still has you in his heart!" Hong Cheng smiled evilly, and then told Zhang Lan about his plan.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Lan shook her head desperately and refused: "Hong Cheng, no matter what, I am your wife, you actually let me do such a disgusting thing, are you still a man?" ”

"Bah, are you embarrassed to say that you are my wife? How have you been like a wife for the past six months? It's like a piece of wood all day long, and now I'll give you a chance to get you back to your Yifei brother, and you'll put up a shelf for me! I'll be honest with you, if you can't handle this matter, see if I don't kill you! As he spoke, Hong Cheng slapped Zhang Lan again.

"But、But what if Brother Yifei is not fooled?" Zhang Lan asked crying.

Hong Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I don't believe that there are still non-fishy cats in this world!" Besides, I remember that you both made a private agreement for life before? ”

Just when Hong Cheng was persecuting Zhang Lan, Tang Ning continued to stay in Hongfu Building for a banquet, but this time it was not in the lobby, but in a very elegant private room, and the banquet was an old friend of the master who was also eating open food, Uncle Zhang, a string calligrapher. (Xianzishu is the prototype of storytelling, and it was renamed Pingshu after Guangxu.) ）

As soon as the old man saw Tang Ning, he said to him excitedly: "Oh, child, you are back!" I thought you would never go back to the capital again! ”

Tang Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, to be honest, Uncle Zhang, I really didn't want to go back to the capital when I left at the beginning, but now I'm not bad in Jiangnan, so I always want to come back and see, after all, there are too many people and things here that I worry about!" ”

The old man patted Tang Ning's hand and said, "I can see it, I can see it, Yifei, you are now a big boss, this is good, this is good, if your master can see it, he will definitely be very happy." It's a pity that my old brother can't see it! As he spoke, two lines of muddy old tears flowed.

After Tang Ning comforted the old man for a long time, he asked: "Uncle Zhang, during the time I left, my senior brother seems to have developed well in the capital?" ”

The old man snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, it's not just that the development is good, it's that the development is quite good, and the good ones don't take us old things seriously!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Tang Ning asked curiously.

"Yifei, you haven't been in the capital for a while, don't you know, now your senior brother's eyes can't wait to grow on the top of his brain, relying on always performing for those high-ranking officials and rich businessmen, and he is rampant and bullying in the circle!"

"Then why would my high-ranking officials and rich businessmen protect him?" Downing asked.

"It's not because of his good skills. Speaking of which, we have to admit that the play next door to him is really good, and the most amazing thing is that every performance is almost exactly the same, without a trace of flaws, so people can't find fault! It can be seen that Zhang Bo is a very practical person, although he hates Hong Cheng very much, but he praises his skills a lot, and does not slander people because of personal enmity.

"Uncle Zhang, now my master and his old man are gone, so I have to ask you about some things, if you say anything that shouldn't be said, don't be angry with me!" Tang Ning said cautiously.

Uncle Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Hey, Yifei, what are you careful with me, you kid I grew up watching, can I still pick on you?" ”

Hearing the old man say this, Tang Ning immediately asked with confidence: "That's good, Uncle Zhang, you also know that my skills were a little higher than my senior brother's at the beginning, but why did my senior brother suddenly become so powerful?" ”

Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said to Tang Ning: "Actually, before your master left, when our elder brothers were drinking, he also asked me, but at that time, no matter how we analyzed it, we didn't understand it.

It is said that your craft is the most time-consuming and hard-working, not to mention a month, even if it is a year, it is impossible for the skill to progress by leaps and bounds, not to mention that your senior brother has now reached a point where even your master dare not imagine, so there must be a problem here.

Your master knew that I was familiar with the head catchers in the yamen, so he asked me to help him investigate this matter, but before he could find out the clue, he left......" At this, the old man began to wipe away tears.

Tang Ning hurriedly comforted again, and only after the old man's mood stabilized did he continue to ask: "Uncle Zhang, do you have any clue now?" ”

Uncle Zhang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "I didn't find anything useful, because during that time, although your senior brother often went out, he never left the scope of the capital at all, at most, he went to the countryside below, but I haven't heard of anything special happening!" ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words: "But there is one thing that seems to have something to do with it!" ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Tang Ning hurriedly asked.

"Your brother's most popular joke now is the one about the fire, have you heard it?" The old man asked without answering.

Tang Ning nodded and replied: "Of course I have heard of it, it was because of this joke that I was defeated on the spot, left the division, and left Jiangnan!" ”

"And if I say it happened, would you believe it?" The old man stared at Tang Ning and asked word by word.

"Did it really happen? What does that mean? Tang Ning asked puzzled.

"That is to say, the ventriloquist plot performed by your senior brother was not made up by him, but there was really such a fire in reality, and he just performed the actual situation that happened at that time!" Uncle Zhang patiently explained.

"Huh?! Uncle Zhang, do you mean that the senior brother deliberately went to set a fire for this performance, and then wrote down everything that happened at that time and then came back to perform? ”
