Chapter 423: Shanghai Beach (I)

The sudden change in the situation on the battlefield in Hunan has brought about a major turning point in the situation of the entire country! OP

The surrender of more than 100,000 Beiyang troops not only greatly increased the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but also dealt the most serious blow to the military strength of the Beiyang government.

The war has already developed along the lines that had been laid down by the Nationalist Government beforehand.

In Hubei, with the end of the Battle of Hunan, Wu Peifu personally commanded his third division into Hubei, which caused great panic in the Hubei overseer Wang Zhanyuan.

In Shaanxi, after Wang Mingzhang and Bai Chongxi took control of Shaanxi, they began to prepare to use troops in Henan.

Henan overseer Zhao Qi was worried, the Northern Expeditionary Army was strong, and it was no longer something he could resist, especially since even Wu Peifu was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army in Hunan, and it was doubtful whether Henan Province could withstand the Northern Expeditionary Army.

From this moment on, Zhao Wei had already saved his mind to seek peace with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In Zhejiang, after the former Fujian overseer Li Houji was defeated and retreated to Zhejiang, he took advantage of the serious illness of Yang Shande, the overseer of Zhejiang, to seize the military and political power of Zhejiang, and to read the Zhejiang overseer to claim to be the overseer.

This move made Lu Yongxiang angry with the Songhu garrison, who had been spying on the position of the Xijiang overseer for a long time.

In Lu Yongxiang's opinion, this position has long been in his pocket, and all he has to do is wait for Yang Shande to die, and then ascend to this throne.

But what I didn't expect was that Li Houji would intervene at this time.

Annoyed and angry, Lu Hewei was preparing to use troops against Zhejiang, and at the same time secretly sent people to get in touch with the Northern Expeditionary Army, agreeing to jointly use troops against Zhejiang and forcing Li Houji to go into the wilderness.

This is exactly what Janssen wants to see.

Yang Sen agreed to most of Lu Yongxiang's requests, such as once Li Houji was forced to go into the wilderness, Lu Yongxiang would take over as the overseer of Zhejiang. And Lu Yongxiang, who got Yang Sen's promise, is naturally excited.

In his opinion, whether it is for the Beiyang government or for the national government, it is actually the same, and the premise is to keep their status and interests!

Everything else is fake!

Driven by such a mentality, Lu Yongxiang is ready to do it!

On August 30, the day after the end of the Battle of Hunan, Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu garrison, sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that from now on he would be loyal to the Nationalist Government and that he would do his best for the Nationalist Government.

In the telegram, he severely accused Li Houji, the overseer of Fujian, of taking advantage of Yang Shande's serious illness to seek the land of Zhejiang, and arbitrarily called the "overseer of Zhejiang" a national thief. Now he is willing to brave the hardships and dangers to crusade against Li Houji Yunyun.

Just when Lu Yongxiang was actively preparing to use troops against Zhejiang, his son Lu Xiaojia had something in Shanghai that seemed to Lu Yongxiang to be a big deal, but Lu Yongxiang at that time did not expect that it was the matter the size of a sesame mung bean in his eyes that changed the fate of his life, which began to happen to the female Peking Opera actor Lù Lanchun, who was praised by Gold.

This lù Lan Chun was originally an apprentice of Huang Jinrong, the adopted daughter of a translator named Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi wanted his daughter to find a backstage so that she would not be bullied in the theater, so he took her to worship Huang Jinrong.

lù Lanchun didn't come to the Huang Mansion for a few years, and when he came, he startled Huang Jinrong: What a peerless beauty! Two thin and curved eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes looking forward to the brilliance, the face is like a peach, the chún is like a zhu, the figure is slender, and the footwork is light: a pink and black-edged cheongsam, wrapped around the body of a girl who has just grown up, outlining the curves and demeanor of the mí people, the clothes are gorgeous, and the beauty is full of grace, and the tǐng is full of jiāonèn, just like a peony with lù and lotus out of the water.

lù Lanchun followed Master Zhang to Huang Jinrong and called out sweetly: "Hello father-in-law!" Lan Chun greets you for a long time! "The authentic Beijing accent is overwhelming.

At this time, Huang Jinrong's eyes were straight, and he didn't care about answering, so he turned his head to Master Zhang and said, "What a Master Zhang, you really have you!" Conditioning a daughter to be smart enough! ”

Huang Jinrong couldn't let go of this beauty anymore.

The proprietress Lin Guisheng and Huang Jinrong were not too young when they got married, but she was thoughtful, practiced and made suggestions for Huang Jinrong, and made great contributions to the status of the Huang Mansion, and has always been a master of affairs!

However, Huang Jinrong has been controlled by Lin Guisheng for too long, Lin Guisheng at this time has long been old, plus Huang Jinrong has become dominant, and he does not want to forge ahead, Lin Guisheng is no longer useful, so he is happy to kick her away, so that he can go to have fun freely. Huang Jinrong had lù Lanchun in his heart, and he thought about how to please her all day long in order to win the hearts of beauties. …,

Ma Xiangsheng, another apprentice of Huang Jinrong, was resourceful and good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and he saw Boss Huang's thoughts. One day, he offered advice to Huang Jinrong: "Master, our" nine acres of land is a good place, why not use it, Master? ”

"Isn't it our shop around there? Where and what is the use? ”

"Master, you didn't expect that it was a dilapidated old stage, if it was demolished and replaced with a new big stage, with that bustling and popular street, business would definitely not be wrong."

"What's so good about repairing the stage? It's expensive, it's hard, it's not interesting! Huang Jinrong didn't realize what Ma Xiangsheng meant, and said impatiently: "I don't think so." ”

"Master, at present, Miss Lù has no good place to go on stage, and it is far away and inconvenient to set up a temporary team from another family outside, so wouldn't it be more appropriate to let her sing on the stage of our house?

The last few words made Huang Jinrong smile.

Although he suffered extremely heavy losses in the previous "Shanghai Gold Scam", he couldn't stop his sè heart and made some planning... After that, Huang Jinrong gritted his teeth and took a sum of money to build a common stage on the "nine acres of land" at the junction of China and France.

At this time, it was not very common for men and women to perform together on the stage of the drama, and the name "common stage" means that it is a theater where men and women perform "together".

Under the constant urging of Huang Jinrong, several teams worked overtime day and night, and soon, the co-stage was built, and Boss Huang began to be courteous to lù Lanchun, and he let lù Lanchun appear on the co-stage, hang the first card, and try his best to support her debut. lù Lanchun sang on stage, and Huang Jinrong personally went down to the theater to set up the scene for her, and brought a group of people to cheer for her.

lù Lanchun is superb in learning and art, singing, reading, doing and playing are all unique, beautiful people, and handsome appearance, and immediately sang and became popular overnight, and his reputation resounded all over the French Concession and even Shanghai Tang.

The stage was full from then on, business was booming, and people rushed to see the style of Lù Lanchun. Huang Jinrong was even more proud, he sent people to the major newspapers to walk around, asking them to praise Lù Lanchun.

Under the care of Boss Huang, each issue of the newspaper advertisement for lù Lan Chundeng's play was placed in the most eye-catching position: "lù Lan Chun" three words, each the size of a duck's egg. lù Lanchun has become a first-class red star, and his value has doubled.

At the same time, Huang Jinrong was very attentive to her. lù Lanchun went to the theater, and Huang Jinrong sent a car and bodyguards to escort and escort him. Lù Lanchun rested, and Huang Jinrong built a lounge for her on the side of the common stage. A small courtyard with a unique door, decorated like a palace.

Lù Lanchun was helpless at this time. Dafan Hongling can't escape the fate of being toyed with, not to mention that she is made popular by Huang Jinrong? And Huang Jinrong is the famous hegemon of the party. lù Lanchun half-pushed and half-pushed, and made the outer room of the boss of Huang Jinrong.

And Lin Guisheng was also very unhappy at this time, letting her be majestic and resourceful, Huang Jinrong was on the lù Lanchun, but she had no choice but to swallow the bitter water silently in her stomach.

Huang Jinrong has a romantic stunner like lù Lanchun, and his wife can't care about it, it is when the spring breeze is proud, he accompanies the beauty day and night, the front is also a beauty, and the back is also a beauty, as if lù Lanchun is his heart's meat, without her, he Huang Jinrong can't live......

However, within a few days, he didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway, and as a result, he set off a love scene in Shanghai.

Biren is Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu garrison.

Lu Gongzi is young and vigorous, suave and graceful, and he is also a handsome son. Dressed in a white silk shirt, he took two of his followers in and out of wine shops, theaters, dance halls and other venues all day long.

Lu Xiaojian has a wide range of contacts. He has lived in Shanghai for a long time and knows the local celebrities well. As soon as Lù Lanchun sang popular, various newspapers reported it one after another, which naturally provoked many bees and butterflies. Lu Xiaojia is one of them. Lu Xiaojia likes to listen to operas the most, and as soon as he heard that the newspaper praised Lù Lanchun, he immediately drove lightly and made a special trip to the stage of the Lao Gong.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, this boy and brother come to see the play, but in fact, they come to see people. Lu Xiaojia went to the Gong stage to watch a few plays and took a fancy to Lù Lanchun. Although lù Lanchun sings raw horns, it is amorous, and every chant and singing has a kind of charming jiāo softness. Lu Xiaojia listened to Lù Lanchun's play for the first time, and as soon as Lù Lanchun appeared, a flying eye made Lu Xiaojia fly into a heart. Since then, Lu Gongzi has been keeping an eye on Lù Lanchun, up and down the stage, sending huā and dating, and launched a fierce offensive!

On this morning, after Lu Xiaojia had finished washing up, he instructed the servant to bring breakfast. The one who served Lu Xiaojia early was a 20-year-old offspring named Ngawang, who was born shrewdly and cleverly, and was the best at figuring out the thoughts of his master. He put it on Lu Xiaojia's desk early, and deliberately pressed a "morning newspaper" underneath to report on the scandalous stories in the upper class and entertainment circles for the pastime of some people from the leisure class.

Lu Xiaojia picked up the fruit first, and at the same time glanced at the newspaper underneath. It happened that the newspaper was folded on the top page, and the report of Lù Lanchun starring in "Luoma Lake" was published, and the three words "Lù Lanchun" the size of a goose egg came into his eyes, and he felt affection in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Ah Biao Awang with his hands down, and smiled: "Young master, there is a play with Miss Lù Lanchun today!" "lù Lan Chun, lù Lan Chun, you don't know how to come up with an idea?" Lu Bijia pondered for a moment, muttered, and then asked, "Ah Wang, you have always had a lot of ideas, tell me, how can you win Miss Lù's heart?" ”

"Young master, forgive me for being too talkative," Ngawang said while secretly looking at Lu Xiaojia's face, "What woman doesn't love gold, silver, and jewelry?" What's more, a pear orchard actor like her, if she gives more small favors, she will definitely be tempted. But ......"

Ngawang deliberately sold a pass and stopped talking.

"But what?" Lu Xiaojia turned to stare at Ngawang, "What is there to swallow." ”

"Young master, this Miss Lanchun is Boss Huang's favorite person!"

So, Ngawang told about Lù Lanchun's life experience, his relationship with the Huang Mansion, and how Huang Jinrong took a fancy to Lù Lanchun, was interested in pleasing the beauties, and promoted her one by one!。
