Chapter 353: Where is the battle on the stage?

After talking with Isabella, Chen Mu's mood also became solemn.

Li Qingyu was brought out by him from Tanjia Water Village, and he promised to take care of her, but it was only because she had the talent to learn drama that he apprenticed to Qin Tang and left Chen Mu.

Since she is recognized as a righteous sister, Chen Muwan can't watch her jump into the fire pit.

The British are high above the ground and never look at the Chinese in their eyes, although they will also intermarry with the Chinese in order to be close to their homeland, but the requirements are extremely strict, many times for some kind of benefit.

Chen Mu already knew that the British had let the son of the Chief Superintendent marry Li Qingyu in order to subdue the New Territories, so he must not stand idly by!

Of course, this is only Isabella's words, although most of them are true, but Li Qingyu's personal opinion is the most important.

If Li Qingyu was unwilling, it would be impossible for Chen Mu to let this kind of thing happen in front of his eyes!

If you want to know Li Qingyu's wishes, you need to understand it face-to-face, but this is the Great Hall, an event hosted by the British, even if Chen Mu is sitting in the VIP area, it is also thanks to Fu Qingzhu, how to enter the backstage, this is a big problem.

"Can you take me backstage?" Don't bother the two masters, Isabella brought this news, and Chen Muzi couldn't make her easy.

Although she is French, she must have her way to be invited, and to be able to meet the young talents of the United Kingdom.

However, Isabella's interest was not very high, and she glanced at Chen Mu.

"Are you going to blackmail me for the rest of my life with those counterfeit banknotes, so that I will be your slave? Didn't you Qing people say that everything should be done in moderation? There is a limit to my patience! ”

Chen Mu didn't want to do this, but he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, and without Isabella, he couldn't enter the backstage on his own.

"Didn't you say you had a friendship with Lady Charlena? It should be normal to go backstage and explore the class, right? ”

Isabella frowned: "When I first came, it was the backstage that Lady Charlenna took me to, and now I go again, it's too evasive, right?" ”

Chen Mu also insisted to the end: "I have to go backstage to meet my sister, you help me this time!" ”

Isabella's tone was very sour: "You only care about your sister, I didn't see you so anxious when I was in trouble?" You are also a bit gentlemanly, and it would be too disrespectful to force one lady to approach another? ”

Chen Mu also knew that this was not fair to Isabella, even if they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, they had once become enemies, but after knowing each other for so long, the relationship between them has gone beyond the category of friends and enemies, and it is unclear for a while.

But Li Qingyu had to be seen, and Chen Mu was about to continue to persuade and fight, but a waiter came over, holding a large flower basket half a person high in his arms.

Fu Qingzhu followed closely and said to Chen Mu: "Let's go, follow me to the backstage to have a look." ”

No wonder Fu Qingzhu just sat down for a while and left the table, it turned out that he was going to prepare a flower basket, it seems that he already knew all this, and he had already planned to bring Chen Mu over today.

After experiencing Isabella's ruthless refusal, and then looking at Fu Qingzhu's fire in the snow, Chen Mu inevitably felt a warm current in his heart, and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you......"

Fu Qingzhu waved his hand: "Let's go in first." ”

Chen Mu no longer hesitated, followed Fu Qingzhu, left the VIP area, and walked to the backstage.

However, they had just reached the entrance of the backstage when they were stopped.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry that the backstage is off-limits."

After all, this is the City Hall, and in addition to Cantonese opera bigwigs such as Li Qingyu in the background, there are also many excellent actors of foreigners.

What's more, this time it was the Chief Superintendent's son who performed on stage in person, so no one could be disturbed by the backstage.

Chen Mu looked at Fu Qingzhu, and the latter explained to the guard: "I am the guest of honor invited by His Excellency the Chief Superintendent, Henry May will call me big brother when he sees me, I will go backstage to see how my nephew is, you can go in and ask." ”

Fu Qingzhu's entry and exit on this occasion had already surprised Chen Mu enough, and as soon as Fu Qingzhu's pure and authentic London accent came out, Chen Mu was even more surprised!

Fu Qingzhu had also spoken French earlier, and it was equally pure, and now that he could speak fluent English, how could Chen Mu not be surprised.

Fu Qingzhu once excused himself to go south and north, walk the streets and alleys, and wander around, even foreigners don't let go, so it's not strange that he can speak French.

But now it seems that this is by no means trained to deceive foreigners, I am afraid that he, like Huang Xing and others, has stayed in the ocean!

It's just that he is clearly a Taoist priest, and he is also very familiar with the Taoist system, which can't be pretended.

A Taoist priest goes abroad to stay abroad, this is fresh.

Of course, if you think about it, it is reasonable for a master of natural doors like Du Xingwu to stay in Japan, and a Taoist priest like Fu Qingzhu to stay in Europa.

If he really stayed in England and France, then Huang Xing and others trusted him unconditionally, and it might make sense.

Chen Mu was still thinking about it, and the guard had already turned around and entered the backstage.

"Follow me!" Fu Qingzhu took advantage of this opportunity and pulled Chen Mu to go backstage, Chen Mu saw that he was ghostly, and he was inevitably a little puzzled.

"Didn't you say that Chief Superintendent Mei Hanli invited you here, why are you so cowering?"

Fu Qingzhu smiled: "I know him, he doesn't know me......"

Chen Mu was also stunned: "So you brought me in?" That...... And where did the VIP invitation come from? ”

Fu Qingzhu replied embarrassedly: "Walking the rivers and lakes, there are always one or two things to do, right?" It's easy to make a copy of this invitation, besides, on such an occasion, where do ordinary people dare to pretend, but as long as you are bolder, raise your head, straighten your waist, and have sharp eyes, you will walk in, who will dare to stop you? ”

Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, he saw Fu Qingzhu's posture earlier, and he really thought he knew some big person, but he didn't expect that he was just pretending from beginning to end!

Of course, this does not rule out other possibilities, after all, Isabella knows this old way, he used to mingle in the foreign circle, and he is still in high society, which should always be true.

After all, if he is just a veteran of the rivers and lakes, he will never be able to pretend to be a Western gentleman.

When Chen Mu was still hesitating, Fu Qingzhu had already pulled him into the backstage, Chen Mu was holding the flower basket, looking around, but it was full of foreigners!

"Suffered! Gone backstage wrong! ”

This backstage is divided into two sides, one side is for foreigners, Li Qingyu and others are on the other side, separated by a partition in the middle, I didn't expect Fu Qingzhu to bring himself to the backstage of foreigners.

There are not so many scruples and rules of foreigners, men and women are changing costumes, one or two are only wearing underwear, and their figures are undoubtedly revealed, looking at the past.

But they are busy, they look very professional, and their eyes never stay on the body of the opposite sex, and even if they speak, they are nervously facing the script.

The flower basket that Fu Qingzhu bought was very large, and it was really eye-catching, and after the two of them came in, everyone's eyes were focused!

The guard turned his head to look, but didn't chase away, just whispered a few words to one of the men who was pouring powder in the face.

There is no need to guess that this person should be the son of the chief superintendent.

Chen Mu took a closer look, although this person was wearing * and blush, covering his entire face, but his foundation was very good, and he could even be said to be very handsome, and his eyebrows were full of heroism.

Standing up at this time, he was even taller than Chen Mu, with slender hands and feet, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Just this appearance, if he and Li Qingyuguo are in love, he is also a good candidate, but this person who knows people and faces does not know his heart, and there are many people who are bright on the outside and ugly on the inside, Chen Mu can't judge people by their appearance.

However, I have to admit that this person is smiling and kind-eyed, very affinity, and gives people a very good impression and impression.

"The two gentlemen are the guests of honor invited by my father? I'm really sorry, I don't have much time left on stage, I'm going to put on makeup first, why don't you sit next to me first, and talk about it later? ”

Unexpectedly, he really regarded Fu Qingzhu as a distinguished guest, and he didn't even ask his name and origin, thinking that many people came to visit him on weekdays, and he was used to it.

"Okay, you go get busy first, we'll wait here." As soon as Fu Qingzhu's pure London English spoke, the young man had no doubts.

As soon as the young man left, Fu Qingzhu hurriedly took Chen Mu out, and the guard stopped him and asked, "Where are the two gentlemen going?" ”

Fu Qingzhu replied remarkably: "There are ladies changing clothes backstage, and it is not a gentleman for us to wait inside, it is better to go to the audience to enjoy the performance, this is respect." ”

Fu Qingzhu's answer was not leaky, and the guard didn't dare to stop it anymore.

Returning to the VIP seat, Fu Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Mu: "Watch the performance first, and then find your sister-in-law later." ”

Chen Mu glanced at it, although the guard let it go, he was still paying attention to their every move secretly, and if he wanted to go to the other backstage at this moment, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he could only watch the play patiently first.

The Taming of the Shrew is not quite as good as Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, but it is also one of the most profound plays Shakespeare has ever written.

Chen Mu was worried about Li Qingyu in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to the performance on stage, so he only watched carelessly.

The so-called Taming of the Shrunk, this Shrunk is the Haunt of a Wife, which tells how a man tame a spicy wife, making her unassertive and obedient to men, and the theme is not very friendly.

However, the female audience present didn't care, only Isabella showed a look of disdain.

Chen Mu didn't quite understand why the son of the chief superintendent would choose such a drama on such a major occasion.

It wasn't until the Cantonese opera team came on stage and saw Li Qingyu's appearance that he finally woke up and finally understood Li Qingyu's attitude on this matter.

Because she is playing "Yang Men Female General" today!
