Chapter 354: Reunion after a long absence provokes jealousy
The stage is like a battlefield without gunsmoke, and they are all making their own positions.
The son of the chief superintendent used "Taming the Shrew" to express his hope that Li Qingyu would become the subjugated Catherina, but Li Qingyu hoped that he would be a female general of the Yang Sect, expressing his unyielding.
After reading it, Chen Mu didn't go backstage to find Li Qingyu, and she already knew how opposed she was to this family business.
The applause from the audience was very warm, after all, this kind of exchange activity is rare, especially the British.
They think that the social status of Qing women is low, and it is impossible to take the stage, which is indeed an inherent impression.
Youling prostitutes, in ancient times, the social status was indeed not high, but even so, women were not allowed to perform on stage, and it is needless to say how low the social status of women is.
But after the influx of new ideas, women began to awaken and began to pursue their rights, they went to girls' schools, and they moved around in order to fight for more human rights for women.
From this point of view, Li Qingyu should be grateful to Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang, because it is easy for her daughter's family to learn Western opera, because it is a new thing from outside.
But the rules handed down from ancient times to the present day in the pear orchard are that women cannot be accepted to sing, but Liang Xuesong and his wife still accept her as an apprentice.
Maybe this is also related to Qin Tang, she is a woman, but she also sang her own piece of the world, and has been recognized and respected by both inside and outside the industry, the reason why she accepted Li Qingyu may also hope to continue this unyielding struggle, and want Li Qingyu to become the next herself.
The drama on the stage has ended, and Chen Mu was about to enter the backstage to find Li Qingyu, but was pulled back by Fu Qingzhu.
"We have gone to the wrong backstage just now, it has already aroused suspicion, it is not appropriate to act at this time, go out and wait."
I have to admit that Fu Qingzhu is still a little spicy, and Chen Mudang walked out of the Great Hall with him.
After the performance, there was a celebration dinner, to put it bluntly, a social dinner, and there were many elites from all walks of life in the audience, so they wanted to take this opportunity to get to know each other.
Fu Qingzhu was mixed in, so he also needs to be cautious, and this kind of excitement will no longer make do.
After waiting for a long time, Li Qingyu and Liang Xuesong finally walked out.
After removing the makeup, Liang Xuesong and his wife looked worried, Li Qingyu was also listless, Liang Xuesong and his wife went to the dinner, but Li Qingyu walked out of the Great Hall alone.
"Herring!"
Chen Mu couldn't wait to lean out half of his body from the shadows, and Li Qingyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Mu.
The voice that he thought about that day and night was combined with the face that often appeared in his dreams, and Li Qingyu suddenly burst into tears.
"Brother!"
She walked over quickly and threw herself into Chen Mu's arms.
The street lights were very dim, and Chen Mu's figure was hidden in the dark alley, looking like Li Qingyu hugging his shadow.
This little girl who came out of the saltwater village has grown up.
Xu is the reason for learning and practicing, she is even taller, on par with Chen Mu, and her figure is graceful and fit, she is no longer the thin firewood girl she used to be, she has a plump figure and a variety of gestures.
Chen Mu didn't have too many distracting thoughts, but he could feel Li Qingyu's warm and throbbing chest, and he gently pushed Li Qingyu away.
They are no longer the teenagers they used to be, and their behavior should be moderate.
"How did you come!" Li Qingyu couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, wiped away his tears, and asked Chen Mu.
Fu Qingzhu couldn't bear to disturb, but he still walked out of it.
"Find a place to sit down and talk."
Chen Mu thought that Fu Qingzhu would scare Li Qingyu, but he didn't know that the latter was surprised: "Why is Dao Ye here!" ”
Chen Mu turned his head abruptly, but saw Fu Qingzhu's kind smile on his face.
"Didn't I bring Chen Mu to you, it can be regarded as talking, right?"
"You asked him to bring me here?" Chen Mu didn't expect it to be Li Qingyu's idea.
"Well, I saw my brother in the newspaper earlier, and I thought about going to my brother, but Henry Wilson's manor couldn't get in, so I had to ask Dao Ye for help."
Chen Mu was also stunned, but he was also surprised in his heart.
This Fu Qingzhu seems to have penetrated into every corner of his life, and there is no one he Fu Qingzhu doesn't know.
"How did you meet?" Chen Mu asked Fu Qingzhu, but the latter smiled and said nothing, but Li Qingyu opened his mouth to answer.
"Earlier, the two masters were going north, and they met Dao Ye halfway, thanks to Dao Ye's guidance, let us go south in the opposite way, otherwise we will be in trouble if there is a war in the north, and after going south, the road will go smoothly, and the troupe is also prosperous, all of which are the work of Dao Ye's guidance......"
Chen Mu was also stunned, but he questioned it in his heart.
"How does this Fu Qingzhu know that there is going to be a war in the north?" Chen Mu didn't believe that this old Taoist priest could really predict the prophet, judging from Huang Xing's trust in him, this old Taoist was afraid that he had a secret intelligence channel.
It's just that the news obtained through this channel must be extremely precious, why did he help Li Qingyu and the others and let them go south? Could it be that he has even calculated the situation today?
Chen Muzheng hesitated to ask Fu Qingzhu clearly, but this old Taoist had already taken the lead in speaking: "Let's go, let's leave here first." ”
Before these words fell, Li Qingyu suddenly grabbed Chen Mu's hand and subconsciously pulled Chen Mu behind him.
Chen Mu looked at it, and a group of people walked out of the Great Hall and were hurrying towards this side!
"Is it ...... exposed?"
Seeing these Indian guards, Chen Mu also thought that he and Fu Qingzhu were exposed, but when he got closer, he finally saw clearly that the person in charge was actually the son of Chief Superintendent Mei Hanli!
"Li Qingyu, you actually had a private meeting with a man behind my back!"
He walked over angrily, and after seeing Chen Mu clearly, he was even more surprised.
"It's you! So you went backstage just for this woman! There is no shame in it! You're my fiancée! ”
He began to take charge of Chen Mu, and the guards accompanying him all showed angry faces, because the son of the chief superintendent was cuckolded, which is not an easy thing to do!
Li Qingyu's face was full of shame: "Dukemei, don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Mu thought that Li Qingyu would explain that he was her brother, so it would be common for them to hug at the right time.
But the focus of Li Qingyu's rebuttal was not this.
"I didn't promise you terms, and I'm not your fiancée!"
When Du Kemei heard this, he was even more furious: "You don't have the right to choose at all, if you don't marry me, the fleet will shell Tai Po, and the war is about to break out, you won't not understand!" ”
Chen Mu was also inexplicably distressed, Li Qingyu was just singing, but she was burdened with such benevolence and righteousness, how could she not be sad if she sacrificed herself for this?
However, Li Qingyu had a righteous face: "You British are insatiable, this incident is just a joke!" ”
"The people of Tai Po, as well as the compatriots of Hong Kong as a whole, will not give in! If you want to exchange a woman like me for dignity, what kind of dignity is this! ”
"So you've decided to oppose it to the end and not accept our proposal?" Dukeme asked with a gloomy face.
Li Qingyu was not afraid at all: "Long before I came, my compatriots had already expressed their posture, they asked me not to bow to you, but to tell you that even if you have strong ships and cannons, we are not afraid at all, even if women and children are in battle, we will never give in!" ”
"I understand, so the Yang Sect female general you played is not trying to tell me that you will not yield to me, but to tell me that all of you will not submit to Her Majesty!"
"Exactly! You'd better die of this heart! Even if you can take possession of our land, you will not be able to subdue our hearts! ”
Li Qingyu replied with his head held high, righteous and awe-inspiring!
Chen Mu was shocked, and he didn't know what Li Qingyu had experienced these times, from the little girl who cowered at the beginning, to such a strong heroine, at this time, she was even more heroic than Qin Tang!
Du Kemei trembled with anger, pointed at Li Qingyu and Chen Mu and scolded angrily: "I can afford you and let you perform, just to tell everyone that you are already my woman, and now you have a tryst with this man and let me be humiliated, I will not let you go!" ”
As soon as Dukeme said this, the guards rushed up!
These Indian guards were also tall, with dark faces, beards, and turbans, and looked like demons.
However, in Chen Mu's eyes, these people are not enough to see at all!
Although Li Qingyu tried her best to pull Chen Mu behind her back, Chen Mu still patted the back of her hand and walked to the front.
"Although you are the son of the chief superintendent, but the affairs of men and women are barely coming, if you do this again, you are robbing the people's daughters, do you plan to smear the face of your old man?"
Chen Mu had asked Isabella earlier, and the chief superintendent Mei Hanli was also a good person, and he had handled several big cases during his tenure.
Among them was a major event that shook the whole of Hong Kong.
At that time, there was a bigwig who opened a gambling stall and bribed many officials to act as a protective umbrella, and even the director could buy it.
In the end, the gang was defeated by Mei Hanli, and there were many British officials, Hong Kong government officials, Indian police and Chinese police detectives who were dismissed, involving dozens of officials, which can be described as very happy.
Chen Mu didn't dare to make a move, he just didn't want to make a big deal out of it, because he could hide in the walled city, but Liang Xuesong and his wife were still attending the dinner, and it would not be good if they were affected.
Besides, they are all big bosses, and it is easy for the British to find them.
Du Kemei was furious, but no man could endure such humiliation, where could he remain calm, and immediately pointed at Chen Mu and ordered the guards.
"Break one of his legs first!"
The guards were also a little sober-minded, and they knew that Chen Mu's words also made sense, so they hesitated.
Dukeme was furious: "Don't do it yet!" I'm responsible for what happened, so do it for me! ”
Only then did the guards rush towards Chen Mu!
Chen Mu could only shake his head and smile bitterly, although these people were tall and big, how could they be his opponents!
