Chapter 10: Floating Like a Dream
Mr. Liu pointed at a series of 'he, he, he', although Shen Yeling said that he had a good temper, he couldn't let others say Jiang Yuan in front of him, besides, Jiang Yuan was kind to him ten years ago, so he twisted his two long eyebrows, showed a few hints of fierceness, and slapped it on the antique round wooden table next to him.
Shen Yeling's anger on the surface was far less than in his heart, but the expression in front of him was contrary to his usual gentle and easy-going temper, and after a stalemate, Manager Li knew that Shen Yeling was really aroused by Mr. Liu's words.
He usually said to Manager Li a few times that he admired Jiang Yuan's drama and wanted to meet Jiang Yuan, but he didn't know what Mr. Liu's way was. Now that he heard someone say this about Jiang Yuan, of course his righteous heart couldn't accept it.
Manager Li has a concept in his heart: whoever can earn money for him is his master. The uncle has to be served, and there is no room for negligence. Shen Yeling is not happy now, and Manager Li is about to change the law.
He glanced at Mr. Liu, the corners of his eyebrows furrowed, ready to open the knife for him. Who made Shen Yeling his master, but Mr. Liu is not.
So Manager Li first put on a straight face and stopped Mr. Liu: "Just give me a few words, you are drunk and talking nonsense, Boss Shen can forgive you, you go outside to see, can outsiders understand you, maybe dig a corner for you and sue you in front of the Luo family to never be able to live forever." You are the one who accumulated virtue in your previous life to meet Boss Shen who is so magnanimous and can't chew the root of your ears, why don't you kowtow to Boss Shen and thank him for his understanding."
Mr. Liu was scolded by Manager Li in a fog, and he was stunned for a long time at Shen Yeling, not knowing why he wanted to thank him, and finally Manager Li took advantage of his unpreparedness and kicked him in the crook of his leg.
Mr. Liu knelt down straight. He was drunk and his head sank, and he hit the ground with his head together.
This kowtow is a big gift, only an apprentice who learns from the master will give the master such a big gift, where does Shen Yeling still have the mind of evil fire, and hurriedly got up to support Mr. Liu, and said a few times "I can't stand it".
Shen Yeling really couldn't stand it, Mr. Liu was helped up by Shen Yeling, lost his center of gravity and took two steps, and was thrown out by Manager Li for unknown reasons without waiting to stand firmly.
This time, if Mr. Liu wants to say that Jiang Yuan is his business, as long as he doesn't say it in front of him and Shen Yeling in the house.
Manager Li had just kicked Mr. Liu out, and he was drunk and disheartened, and he didn't look at people's faces and speak, and he felt physically and mentally exhausted, but there was still a God of Wealth in the house, and he had to pretend to be a filial son and grandson.
So he forced out two drops of flattery from his helpless face, and with a smiling face, he went to greet Shen Yeling: "Boss Shen is really sorry, this Mr. Liu just doesn't have virtue on his lips to let you see jokes."
Shen Yeling didn't see Mr. Liu's joke, just seeing that he commented on Jiang Yuan with colored eyes.
But Shen Yeling has a good temper and is also steady, and the fierce appearance just now has disappeared on his face, and he continues to exude a smile that is respectful to everyone, raising his hand and saying lightly that it is okay.
Manager Li looked at Shen Yeling and coaxed, and also entered the topic of their discussion: "Mr. Shen, I said that you are a rich and noble life, and it has only been a few days since your play opened, and today a big boss has taken your venue down, guess who that person is?" ”
Manager Li always has a bit of skill in speaking, so he won't feel bored talking to him, he left a doubtful point, and announced the answer to the mystery in a few seconds, and didn't let people guess
"It's the Luo family with a head and a face in Xunyang, Mr. Shen, this is a good luck, the Luo family has your first game in Xunyang, and you won't be in this position here in the future."
Manager Li raised his hand horizontally and compared it to a height.
Shen Yeling also understood Manager Li's words, that is, the singing that made him move in, he must make the Luo family happy, Shen Yeling generally does not exaggerate any guarantees, but just nodded slightly: "I must be careful."
But why was it the Luo family who came to charter him, but Shen Yeling didn't want to have any entanglement with the Luo family with the experience of living in Xunyang in the previous three years.
Luo Yunsheng's news is also not going to go to Luo's house to find out, and he seeks to find out about his relationship.
In Xunyang's inquiry about Luo Yunsheng's news, what Shen Yeling wanted to find most was Jiang Yuan. No one knew that the first position Jiang Yuan could do to enter the Luo family was to be a teacher for Miss Luo, so even if Luo Yunsheng disappeared out of thin air in the Luo family, Jiang Yuan knew something more or less.
However, Jiang Yuan has been rooted in a brothel all the year round, and Shen Yeling can't go. But he never thought that when the Luo family came to listen to the play, Jiang Yuan would also be there. Manager Li also misunderstood what he meant by wanting to see Jiang Yuan, and told him that if you can be taken by Jiang Yuan and be in a good mood to write a script for you, you will be able to become popular.
Shen Yeling doesn't want to be popular now, because he is already popular in Beiping, and now he just wants to ask Jiang Yuan where Luo Yunsheng is.
He went home in a huff, and thoughtfully remembered that the pots of residual chrysanthemums in the courtyard had not yet been watered. People have to find them, they have to eat food, they have to water their flowers, and the potted plants in the courtyard are still left by his brother Zhang Changxin.
His brother left three things behind before he died. The same is the last words that asked him to leave Beiping before he died, the same is Zhang Shangzhi, and the same is these potted plants.
Now that he has done it, leaving Beiping, Zhang Shangzhi treats it as his own, and even these potted plants are carefully cared for, watered and built every day, so that it can receive enough sunlight.
Shen Yeling had just come to the small courtyard where the plants were placed, ready to baptize these small plants with another layer of baptism, but saw that these dark green beings were already covered with dew and accepted the sun.
And Xu Man had already helped him finish the costumes and water the plants, and he continued to bask in the sun on the Taishi chair by himself.
She squinted, Shen Yeling thought she was asleep, and lightly finished reading the flowers and preparing to leave.
But Xu Man didn't sleep, she saw Shen Yeling wandering around her, and her weak breath came out along her trachea: "Erlang, just now Manager Li's wife came to see me with her child."
When Shen Yeling went to Manager Li just now, she heard Liu say that she would come over to see Xu Man, thinking that she was joking and saying a few jokes. I didn't expect Liu to really bring the child over.
He nodded in response, "I know about it."
Although Xu Man squinted, there was a smile on his face, and he was still recalling the picture of himself holding the child: "Manager Li's child is so cute, that nose, that eye."
She couldn't find the words, she just waved her hand in the air, reminiscing with Shen Yeling little by little.
Xu Man no longer looked at him on her back, facing the dazzling sunlight, she stretched out her hand to block her face, her eyes opened, as if she had woken up, and her spirit was shocked: "I remembered, I also had children."
It was a long time ago, Shen Yeling thought that Xu Man would gradually be relieved in sadness, but he didn't know that he would be remembered in this memory, and hurriedly grabbed the hand that fell on her lap. Holding her hands firmly and placing them on her cheeks, as a comfort to her: "It's okay, it's all over, it's all over."
Xu Man let out a few rapid breaths, gradually calmed down, and stopped speaking steadily. Shen Yeling picked her up from the comfortable Taishi chair, took her to her bedroom, and put her on her hospital bed. I also sat on the edge of the bed, waiting every step of the way like a filial son in front of the bed for a long time.
After dinner, Xu Man drank the medicine, but couldn't eat, and fell asleep on the bed early, Shen Yeling didn't want to disturb anymore, so she turned off the lights in her room, let her sleep well, went back to the study next door to read, and listened to Xu Man's movements together.
Xu Man slept very deeply this night, there was no breathless cough, and he was not uncomfortable, just like a normal person, he got rid of the torture of the nightmare and was comfortable.
She opened her eyes strangely, and found that there was no change in her surroundings, except that the red window was open, and there was a pot of white chrysanthemums hanging on the windowsill.
The sky was dark, only the moon that broke the black sky sprinkled the light, and the crystal clear dew on the petals flashed in the dark background - it was a pot of residual chrysanthemums that she poured for Shen Yeling during the day.
The remnant chrysanthemum was owned by Shen Yeling's senior brother Zhang Changxin, who was previously raised by Zhang Changxin's wife Zhou Lin, and now this pot of remnant chrysanthemum fell into the hands of Shen Yeling, and was raised by Xu Man, who has the name of husband and wife and has no husband and wife.
Seeing this, she sighed helplessly: After a few twists and turns, the number of people's lives is still less than a pot of flowers!
At this time, the door was gradually pushed open, Xu Man felt refreshed, and she could sit up effortlessly to greet the person who pushed the door, she thought it was Shen Yeling who came to check on her night, and she was about to tell him the good news that her body had improved.
I saw that the room was not lit by a single candlelight, and it was dim, and Xu Man gradually recognized the man's face by the moonlight projected outside the window.
Her pupils widened, her face turned pale with fright, but she didn't have the ability to scream, her mouth opened and closed and she couldn't make a sound, and the person who came was actually Zhang Changxin's wife Zhou Lin - didn't she leave with Zhang Changxin.
As early as a month ago, Zhang Changxin died on the stage, and when Shen Yeling reacted from it, he rushed to Zhang Changxin's house, Zhang Shangzhi was almost asleep at the door, obviously not knowing that Zhou Lin in the house had hanged herself and buried her husband.
Shen Yeling looked at the dazed Zhang Shangzhi, licking his fingers on his mouth and blinking innocent eyes, not knowing that his parents were gone. Shen Yeling sighed, took Zhang Shangzhi home, and buried Zhang Changxin and his wife.
And Xu Man saw with his own eyes that Zhou Lin was out of breath, lying straight in the coffin and sent into the soil.
Now he was wearing the shroud of the funeral, pushing the door and sitting on the round stool in front of the bed, his face and lips could not find a little ruddy, and it was as white as a piece of paper without ink.
Zhou Lin calmly ignored Xu Man's surprise, and said in a miserable voice: "Sister, I've been down there for a long time and miss you, so I came to take a look."
Xu Man was almost frightened by her flickering tone, and the three souls and seven spirits followed her directly: "Big, big, sister-in-law, aren't you dead."
Zhou Lin nodded: "It's deserted below, Changxin is dead and unwilling, so I specially asked me to come up and see you, and take you down to be a companion, do you say it's okay."
At this time, Zhou Lin was no longer the warm-hearted sister-in-law in her heart, her temperament was terrifyingly cold, and she said that she wanted to take Xu Man away. He directly stretched out his fingers and pinched Xu Man's neck tightly.
Her face glared angrily, she gritted her silver teeth, with a fierce energy, and her voice came from her teeth: "You go to die." One by one, with the oppressive feeling of the curse, Xu Man was powerless to struggle.
Her face was pinched and flushed, and the sense of fear rushed into her brain, and she resisted Zhou Ling's hand, and her feet subconsciously resisted, kicking over the tightly wrapped quilt as the last arm.
She sent a distress signal that overflowed from her throat: "Don't, don't".
She doesn't want to die yet, she still wants to accompany her Erlang well.
The pressure on her neck gradually disappeared, and her head was so frightened that a layer of hot sweat broke out, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already a scene of dawn in the east.
She felt so heavy that she couldn't move her body, and the pain came one after another, spreading all over her body, and this feeling was real, and suddenly a cloud of air rushed up her throat in her lungs, making her cough red and prickly.
There is no remnant chrysanthemum in her red window, even the window is hidden and dare not open, the surroundings are still the same, her sister-in-law Zhou Lin has never come, nor has she pinched his neck and taken her down.
It's all her dream.
