Chapter XXVII
Shen Yeling went out as usual, and without waiting for Xu Man to call him to eat with him, he left in a rickshaw, it was about to start snowing, Master Yu's kneeling in the snow was about to open, he didn't dare to stay in the house for too long, he was afraid of seeing his apprentices kneeling in front of him one by one, their legs stuck in the snow, holding the basin above their heads with both hands, and looking at him with blank eyes. He was afraid that he would not bear to plead with Master Yu again, and then be counted down by Master Yu as 'committing another kind of heart'.
In this way, he still went to the theater to teach those servants who twisted their bodies, and there seemed to be anecdotes about Luo Xiaoqi still on the street, which were nothing more than 'ruthless and crazy', he didn't hear anything about it before, but now it sounds very harsh.
He came to the theater with a calm expression, Chunhe Courtyard really came to the theater because of Luo Xiaoqi and Zhang Dashuai's trouble last time, but the theater is not open and there is no drama today, and they can only return in a huff, the reason is that the theater has been covered by a teenager, Shen Yeling glanced at the guests who had eaten the closed door, and entered the door of the theater with curiosity, and there was indeed a young man inside, sitting in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the stage with a Taishi chair, sitting straight with his back upright, his hands on his knees in a regular manner, and his feet were also tight. Is it not as rogue as a ruffian, or as bold as a local tyrant in the business world, Shen Yeling didn't dare to look at his back from a distance, he felt that he was a well-behaved teenager.
The young man looked at what kind of young master he had an identity, even Manager Li nodded and leaned his back, a mouthful of yellow teeth did not dare to get too close to him or too far, and began to tell him about the play at the level of his head, the young man obviously did not understand the play, pointed to the old Dan on the stage and said: "What is Manager Li doing."
Manager Li nodded and smiled, and explained, "Master Bai, that's going up the mountain."
"Oh, what about the mountain," the boy said ignorantly.
Manager Li spread his hand slightly: "Master Bai doesn't have a mountain, he just does a climbing posture, it's a person who thinks about a mountain."
The young man frowned slightly, but he didn't let Manager Li see his expression at the moment, this drama is really knowledgeable, there is no mountain and people want to figure it out, he has no imagination, he is realistic.
The young man pointed to the old man on the stage who was doing the opposite action just now, and asked, "Then is she going down the mountain?"
Manager Li smiled and clapped his palms, as if congratulating something: "Master Bai is so smart."
Through his boastful words again, after a while, the young man still did not have any joy, and he still watched the play quietly.
"Master Bai, it's really not simple, studying abroad to learn foreign knowledge, and now returning to China to learn the treasures of the ready-made ancestors, Master Bai will be great in the future, a combination of Chinese and Western." Manager Li said as he spoke, his hand following what he said, revealing a thumbs up.
The young man shrugged his shoulders slightly: "It's nothing, my sister likes drama recently."
He didn't know where his sister's interest came from, since she came back after the banquet for him here, she was discussing what kind of opera was good, Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, and she listened to it on the radio into the loudspeaker.
She listened carefully to the play, and smoked less opium*, which was a good thing for him to watch. also came to the theater to listen to some plays, but he was able to make him a fake foreigner in three years abroad, and he couldn't understand the mystery at all. When he was in England, he met an international student from Japan who was a kimono lady who could play marionettes, and when she performed at school, she performed this kind of play that pulled the string to make the puppet move to play a story, and the teenager saw her as a shadow puppet show performed in a teahouse, but the shadow puppet show was bigger than the knowledge she played, the scene was more beautiful, and the characters did not look weird.
The doll can scare her to death when she sees it, her eyes are big, her mouth is small, and everything that should be red and what should be white is too white. He thought about it, and the face of this powdered old man was the same as the doll, but it looked more pleasing to the eye than the doll, and there was no charm on the doll.
Manager Li also looked at Shen Yeling, lined up on the young man's shoulder, and said, "Master Bai, I am very amateurish, I will invite you a professional, the 'Yang Guifei' on your home field a few days ago."
The young man also looked back at Manager Li's gaze, and the two looked at Shen Yeling together, Shen Yeling politely raised his hand and bowed, giving the little guest enough face.
Manager Li then also ran to Shen Yeling, tilted his head sideways and said in his ear: "The godbrother of the little seventh master's family, Cheng Jiabai, known as 'Little Master Bai', is a blind actor, you can simply fool him into two sentences."
I don't know when Manager Li spoke to Shen Yeling, so he got up casually. Shen Yeling probably knew that it was the name of Luo Xiaoqi that ordinary people called Luo Xiaoqi positively.
Shen Yeling smiled politely at him, he smiled very sincerely, and he smiled very sincerely at the people around Luo Xiaoqi. Cheng Jiabai looked at him and knew that it was his child who smashed Zhang Dashuai's car that day, and in the final analysis, he was also the culprit, Cheng Jiabai was not present in that incident, and he didn't know how Luo Xiaoqi solved it, but I heard that Luo Xiaoqi offended Zhang Dashuai because of this incident.
Cheng Jiabai didn't respond, his physical and mental reaction was to keep his expression unchanged, just move his throat slightly and make a 'hmm', he said enough today, it is not appropriate to say more, he made a pause gesture to Shen Yeling, and spit out two words: "Let's talk again."
Shen Yeling also bowed his head slightly, making way for him, after the young man left, the drama on the stage also ended early, and now it has become a stage that has not been performed, and no one is watching the stage, he sits alone on the Taishi chair that Cheng Jiabai has just done, touching his throat and sighing, The joys and sorrows of this world are all staged on this washing stage, playing the servants on the stage, and acting with true feelings. The performance came and used in exchange for the audience's tears of gratitude, and the tears turned around and passed, who still remembers who sang on the stage.
A familiar car stopped in front of the theater, Chunheyuan has been really lively recently, walked one after another, Zhang Zhenshou came to the theater for the third time, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Yeling sitting on the Taishi chair, and when he saw him, he didn't wait for him to speak, took his hand and said excitedly: "Go, I have good things to show you."
Seeing that Shen Yeling seemed to be shocked inexplicably by his rude actions, Zhang Raoshun added: "Don't worry, my father has no one, go back to Tianjin."
This means that you don't have to feel embarrassed, his father is gone, and he smashed his father's glass a while ago, and he is angry that his father has nothing to do with him. Shen Yeling was still sent to the car by Zhang Raoshun for no reason, and he didn't even say hello to the theater, making it clear that he was robbing people.
Shen Yeling in the car was about to apologize to him for the incident last time, but Zhang Rao Shun was more open-minded than when he first met, and pushed: "Ye Ling, it's really okay, that car was driven by my father to the town, and I wanted him to change the window glass a long time ago, but the old man refused, this time it saved me a lot of trouble."
Shen Yeling had no choice but to laugh with him, and the car drove to his door, unlike the Luo family, Zhang Raoshun's house was a Western-style building, and a few red flowers and green leaves decorated these two towering white buildings.
The two iron railings opened automatically, as if to welcome their arrival, this is the western-style building that Zhang Dashuai personally bought for Zhang Raoshun in Xunyang, and hired a few quick domestic servants for him, and the housekeeper who took care of affairs, the housekeeper wore a black short coat and long jacket, bent over to greet his young master, and the distinguished guests who came from afar.
The two got out of the car, Zhang Raoshun grabbed Shen Yeling and entered the building non-stop, there was a piano in the center of the living room, occupying half of the living room, and the patterns on the floor reflected the translucent floor, illuminating her whole appearance, and the surroundings were also cleaned to a layer Otherwise, looking at Zhang Raoshun's usual wear is either a suit and shirt, or a British coat and trousers. This is dressed up to match this room.
Shen Yeling looked at himself, the long coat that had been like a day for ten years, looked like a teacher and a progressive youth, but it was incompatible with this house, Zhang Raoshun pushed him to the sofa, and said with a look of joy that he wanted to show him something, he kept talking about it since he got in the car, and only now did he take out the baby.
Zhang Raoshun ran away for a while and came back, he was still grinning to the end, but there was an extra black box in his hand, and he asked Shen Yeling to open it and take a look.
It can be regarded as a gift for Shen Yeling, Shen Yeling calculated that if this thing is valuable, he will resolutely not accept it, so he opened the lid of the black box, and what was contained in it was actually all kinds of rhinestone headdresses.
Zhang Raoshun let go of the excitement just now, touched the back of his head and confessed: "When I watched you acting a while ago, I found that the hair ornament on your head was not bright enough, obviously a little old, I found someone to make a few for you, see if you like it or not", before Shen Yeling put down the box and answered his words, he added: "Don't say no, this thing really doesn't cost me much, I said that if you don't want me to send anyone, the little girl doesn't like to wear one."
This made Shen Yeling a little embarrassed, this Rao Shun's words have been clear enough, he has a reason why he can't refuse gifts, so he must accept this black box.
Looking at Zhang Raoshun's eyes glowing and begging Shen Yeling to answer, if his father saw it, he would definitely beat this unlucky little cub ruthlessly.
Shen Yeling nodded, closed the lid, still calm, and thanked Zhang Raoshun for his kindness without hurry: "Then I will thank you."
Zhang Rao Shun watched Shen Yeling accept his kindness, and he was a little excited to want to dance, he tried his best to restrain his emotions, and the intention of asking him to come to the house as a guest was also half completed.
