Chapter 15: Go
Xu is Chen Li made it clear that he was leaving, and after the next day, there was still no competition with Chen Li.
It may be that Chen Hedi wanted Chen Li to stay in Yuezhou for a while longer, and arranged for him to be on the last day.
Chen Li, who was idle, didn't want to watch the competition in the square anymore, it was too boring for children to play at home.
Wandering on the street, I was going to call Wang Bing, but when I went to her room, I found that this little girl had already packed her luggage and left.
"Maybe you're mad at me. Chen Li thought so.
After all, he was really too ruthless yesterday, if Chen Li could keep it, Wang Bing might stay for two more days.
Returning home is a kind of torment for Wang Bing.
Walking out into the street, Chen Li looked at the pedestrians and vendors on the street boredly.
Walking into an alley, I suddenly heard a burst of Yiyi's singing, like the big drama that the Ou family sang yesterday.
I followed the sound, and sure enough, the sound came from a theater building.
This is the industry of the Ou family, and there are many people in Yuezhou City who come here to drink tea and listen to operas, which is a good place to spend time.
Chen Li walked in, there were not many people in the theater today, and most of them went to the square to watch the four major families compete.
After all, watching people fight is much more exciting than singing.
What is singing on the stage is a Tsing Yi and an old student playing against each other, talking about the daughter and her father having a disagreement in order to get married.
This is a bit like Wang Bing's story, and this kind of thing seems to have happened in ancient times.
Chen Li walked up to the second floor, and unconsciously when it was time for lunch, he ordered to go to the theater instead of tasting tea, but to eat, which may be the first encounter in this theater.
But it's hard to say anything, after all, Chen Li loves to carry a snake gun wherever he goes.
Listening to the opera, Chen Li ate the last bite of noodles, drank the noodle soup, and burped in satisfaction. Ignoring the sideways glances of the crowd, Chen Li listened attentively to the play.
In his previous life, what he hated most was Yiyi's opera, but it sounds very interesting now.
After singing a play, Chen Li felt that it was not interesting enough to hear, but the shopkeeper of the theater came out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it coincides with the grand event of the four major families in Yuezhou, and the store closes early today, and the small ones also have to rush to see the heroic appearance of the young heroes in Yuezhou. ”
The shopkeeper saluted everyone and began to drive away customers with a smile.
There are not many guests in the theater, although they were defeated, but they all obediently began to leave, this is the Ou family's industry, and no one in Yuezhou dares to make trouble here.
Just after everyone in the theater was dispersed, the shopkeeper saw Chen Li, who was still sitting on the second floor, smiled gently, and made a gesture of please.
"Guest officer, if you haven't heard enough, please come back tomorrow, you can't get tired of eating delicious food at one time. ”
Chen Li smiled at the shopkeeper, picked up the gun, and was about to go out.
At this time, a man named Hanako walked in from outside the door of the theater, wearing a robe full of alcohol.
Far away, Chen Li smelled a smell of wine, a very familiar smell of wine, and his hand holding the gun tightened.
"The shopkeeper sings two more songs, and I will take this bite. ”
The person who came was Chen Dongsheng, who had disappeared for several days, and walked in staggeringly.
glanced at the theater and found that there was no one left, only Chen Li was seen on the second floor.
After looking at Chen Li for a while, Chen Dongsheng laughed wildly, "It turned out to be Chen Li, just right, accompany me to watch the play, please watch a good play, your mother's favorite." ”
After saying that, he staggered to find a place to sit on the first floor.
was carrying Chen Li on his back, and if Chen Li wanted to kill him at this time, he only had to jump down from the building and shoot a shot.
After struggling in his heart for a while, Chen Li still put down the gun and sat down, I don't know why, maybe he also wanted to see his mother's favorite play when she was alive.
"I just want to beat him in the open. Chen Li said in his heart. This reason doesn't even make sense to him.
Chen Li didn't need to say anything more about Chen Dongsheng's hatred.
But every time he saw Chen Dongsheng who was drunk and dreaming of death, Chen Li couldn't do it, and he always felt that there were a lot of hidden secrets about his mother.
"Young Master Dongsheng, the shop has closed, if you want to listen to the play, let's come back tomorrow!"
The shopkeeper knew Chen Dongsheng, after all, after Chen Dongsheng returned to the city that day, there was a lot of movement.
He is dressed in a way that everyone in Yuezhou City is familiar with.
Chen Dongsheng waved his hand and said vaguely: "Don't talk nonsense, haven't you heard? I want to invite someone to watch the play, hurry up and prepare." ”
"This ......" The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and looked at Chen Li on the second floor. Chen Li didn't look at the shopkeeper, just stared at Chen Dongsheng's back, wanting to see through to see what Chen Dongsheng's heart looked like.
"Okay, what play does Young Master Dongsheng want to hear, I'll ask the backstage to prepare. The shopkeeper asked. Ostentatiously turned around and smiled at Chen Li, as if to say, look, I will say that this play can be seen. "The old rule is to ask Tan Qingniang to sing "Plum Garden". ”
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, and said to Chen Dongsheng: "The young lady is married far away, and she has long stopped singing, Chen Dongsheng was also stunned, "When will you get married?"
"Four years ago, the young master also knew that it was not easy to find Ruyi Langjun when he was a play, and the young lady only found such a one in six out of twenty, although she was a pillar, I couldn't bear to hinder her from being happy. The shopkeeper bowed and said.
poured another sip of wine into his mouth, Chen Dongsheng raised his hand and waved, and said, "Go, find a Tsing Yi who sings well, don't sing this "You Plum Garden", otherwise I will only ask you." ”
The shopkeeper said yes and retreated backstage.
"This "Plum Garden" is your mother's favorite song, and Tan Qingniang, who sings, and your mother were the two pillars of this theater back then. Chen Dongsheng said.
In ancient times, the female actors in the theater and the artists in the flower building were all called the Qing people in the Qinglou, and when they entered the Qinglou, they were all considered to have fallen into the dust.
"How did my mother die?"
"I don't know, I was already gone at that time, I don't know the hidden secret, four years ago, I received a letter from Tan Qingniang, and I knew that your mother was gone. ”
The two people sitting in the theater building, across the floor, just asked and answered, Chen Li looked at Chen Dongsheng's back, and Chen Dongsheng looked at the stage.
"You know it's because of you that my mother is depressed. ”
Chen Dongsheng poured a sip of wine vigorously, and the gongs and drums on the stage had already sounded.
"There are some things you don't know and you don't need to know, just remember that there is no good person in the Chen family, including me. ”
A small servant served tea to the two, Chen Dongsheng pushed the tea away with a smile and poured wine into the cup.
Throwing it back, the teacup containing the wine was falling right in front of Chen Li, and not a drop of the wine inside was spilled.
"How can you drink tea when you watch a play, you can enjoy it when you eat wine, and drink it with confidence, it's not poisonous wine. Chen Dongsheng raised the gourd and took a sip first, which was to respect Chen Li.
Chen Li also picked up the teacup and shook it, the crystal wine dangling inside.
A sip, the throat is hot, Chen Li didn't drink in his previous life, this is the first time he tasted the taste of wine, Tsing Yi and the old students on the stage sang happily, and there were two men sitting in the audience with their own hearts.
A man with a gun and a man with a sword on his back.
The atmosphere in the theater was a little deserted, and the two men didn't talk much.
In the eyes of outsiders, the only thing is that the drama in the theater is not so fascinating. Until someone wants to go into the theater to listen to the play and see what kind of play it will be with only two guests.
was stopped by the little guy outside the door, and it turned out that the two guests had cleared the scene.
But sitting on the first floor is a raggedly dressed man named Hanako, who doesn't look like a person with a lot of money.
is the one on the second floor, dressed in brocade, and is a child of the four major families.
"The wine in autumn is particularly sweet, you have to learn to taste it, everyone in the Chen family is like the wine in autumn, you have to taste it carefully. Chen Dong's eyes were a little confused.
The scene on the stage has also changed, it is the rich son who came to propose marriage, and his family rushed to hear the news and vowed to stop the marriage.
"She is a cold kiln girl, how can she be worthy of you, don't miss your own recuperation, break the rules of the ancients, and make people laugh. The man dressed as the mother of a rich boy sang like this.
And the rich boy didn't agree.
It's not about sending the bride price in.
The father of the cold kiln girl also couldn't do anything, and he couldn't see that the entanglement of this infatuated man and woman made people feel distressed, so he had to say that his daughter was already married and couldn't marry a rich son. "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't care what the Chen family thinks, this family competition, no matter whether I can kill you or not, I will leave here. ”
There are no Chen Dongsheng and these people, and they have such a great sense of belonging to the family.
"It's very simple, your surname is Chen, you have traveled all over the world, you are all members of the Chen family, and you have the imprint of the Chen family" Before you came back, I told Chen Hedi that my mother's surname was Li. Chen Li picked up the teacup and drank all the wine inside. "Give me some more. ”
Hearing Chen Li ask him for wine, Chen Dongsheng laughed, "This thing is enough, don't look at my small gourd, I can pretend to be a lot, before you kill me, I can only invite you to watch the play, eat and drink, you have to enjoy it, otherwise maybe one day it will become a card, and you won't be able to eat this good thing at that time." ”
Looking at Chen Dongsheng's back, Chen Li didn't know if he really said it from the heart, or if he was pretending to be chic.
Facing life and death so indifferently is not the mind that this kind of desire to get carried away and specialize in burning, killing and looting can have.
"On the day I kill you, I will definitely prepare the best wine in the world, and you will invite me to eat and watch a play today. ”
"That's a good dare! Say invite me to eat and drink, you are the first, isn't it that you are also the kind of person whose head is so stupid that you sweat, this is good, the Chen family has two of us, we have to not let the Chen family lose the face of the hundreds of years earned in this Tang Dynasty, and see if they will go out in the future and give it to the shelf. ”
"I said, I'm not the Chen family!
"It's the same, it's the same, anyway, I love to do things that disgrace them."
Xu is also disgusted with the Chen family, or thinks that Chen Dongsheng's speech is also very interesting, Chen Li also raised his head and laughed, but there was no expression on his face for a few days, and the muscles on his face were painful and a little stiff when he laughed.
"What makes the two Chen brothers laugh so happily, if you come and listen to me, let me be happy and happy. ”
The person who came was a scholar in a green shirt with a folding fan, and his speech was tangled, Chen Li listened a little awkwardly, like a little lady, twisting and twisting.
In addition, the book grew white and beardless, and at first glance it was not a serious son, Chen Li also loved to ignore it, and took a sip of Chen Dongsheng's full wine, and did not reply.
Chen Dongsheng is the same, listening to that tone, he is also a member of the four major families, but he can't remember where he has seen this person, he is familiar with the young children of the four major families, to say that in this border realm, there are many rude martial artists, quiet and quiet, and there are not many children who study.
There is one counts as one, it is rare in Yuezhou Chen Li and the two of them did not answer their own words, the scholar did not feel that his face could not collapse, he still smiled, and introduced himself: "I am a child of the Zhang family, ranking third, everyone calls me Zhang San, just because I like to write poetry, I was sent to the Central Plains by my family to study since I was a child, and when the family is compared, don't rush back, the two Chen brothers don't know me, it's normal." ”
Hearing that it was someone from the Zhang family, Chen Dongsheng remembered that the Zhang family was such a number one person, and he went to the Central Plains since he was a child, and he had never even seen the appearance of the Zhang family's own children, so it was no wonder that his face was tight.
"It's the third brother Zhang, the third brother came in and sat down, the play hasn't finished singing yet, you can just come and listen to the play together, eat and drink, the four families are in the same breath, don't be cautious, just treat it as your own brother. ”
Chen Dongsheng greeted him with a smile, and with a little drunkenness, he led Zhang San to the same table and sat down.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Chen Li secretly said in his heart: I just said how I couldn't see the Chen family, and now I claim to be the identity of the Chen family, so I really am a child of a family who can't leave home.
He straightened his clothes, watched the play to himself, and didn't take his eyes to look at it, the behavior of the children of the two families, except for those kind words, was almost, I really don't know what to talk about.
"The scene when Brother Dongsheng entered the city spread in Yuezhou, and many people from the Chen family greeted you at the city gate, and I heard that the old lady of the Chen family had gone, but he was scolded by you, but it became a legend on people's lips. ”
Zhang San held Chen Dongsheng's hand intimately, not caring about the oil stains on Chen Dongsheng's body, staining his clothes black, and when he spoke, he was mostly ridiculing, a picture of many years of friendship.
"Hugh wants to say me, your Zhang San's reputation in the Zhang family is not good, you haven't learned martial arts since you were a child, so angry that Ling Zun stomped his feet, forced you to learn martial arts, forced you to kill yourself with a sword, this is a last resort to send you to the Central Plains to study, and I want to mention that I am not. ”
was ridiculed, Chen Dongsheng didn't blush, he had heard of this Zhang San, when he was learning martial arts, he was only five years old and the Zhang family had a lot of trouble in the city, and the old lady of the Zhang family was angry, if you want to talk about the legend, he is the real legend of Yuezhou.
Chen Li, who heard one ear on the second floor, showed a sudden look, no wonder the two seemed to have been friends for many years, it turned out that they had the same smell, and they were both deviant and problematic young people in the family.
may be dissatisfied with the Chen family, Chen Li is also curious about this Zhang San, and listens to the conversation between the two with his ears sideways.
"I don't know that Brother Dongsheng Yujian had a lot of meaning when he entered the city, and I didn't have anything else in my heart.
But that man didn't recognize anything except wine, and if he wanted to talk about a fight, he didn't know who would lose or win, which made the emperor stomp his feet in anger and helpless.
And even worse than them are the older generation of the Zhang family and the Chen family in Yuezhou, and there are only a few people who are presiding over the family competition today, all of them have a pair of panda eyes, and they only say that they didn't sleep well last night.
And the crutch that the old lady of the Chen family has never left his hand all year round has been replaced with a brand new one.
