Chapter 16: The First Man to Smash the Field

The time for Shen Yeling's opening scene is getting tighter and tighter, and Shen Yeling's troupe will rehearse as soon as possible, and those who will not act will help rehearse together.

Shen Yeling stretched out a few jade-like fingers, tanned into orchid fingers, gathered his water sleeves, stood at the stone table in the backyard of the theater, stepped step by step, kept up with the rhythm, walked to the old locust tree in the center of the courtyard, put aside the water sleeves and swung twice, looked back, stared with his cheeks, his eyes slightly opened, looked into the distance, and swam back to the closer.

His coherent movements were not practice, but the performance was appreciated by the 'audience', who applauded him, and secretly made up his mind that the coming year would be as wonderful as him.

The appreciative mood of the group of 'audience' was interrupted by Manager Li who was passing by, and pointed to those squirming figures and said: "Boss Shen came over to teach you so much, is it for you to watch like a spectator in the audience, and put on a robe for me to practice with."

Several people twisted their bodies, let out a coquettish snort from their mouths, and put on the robes on the stone table.

Manager Li turned around and thanked Shen Yeling, these days Shen Yeling not only has to teach his apprentices to sing, but also practice by himself, but also comes to the theater to go through the motions, basically running at both ends. There were already a few Tsing Yi Hua Dan in the theater, and they had to pester Shen Yeling to teach them a trick and a half. Shen Yeling, who was already busy, would not refuse, and nodded in agreement.

On the opening day of Shen Yeling, the Luo family chartered the venue, and also invited Zhang Dashuai from Tianjin, as well as his son Zhang Raoshun, the town guard, and the head of the Luo family will naturally attend I heard that she will not only bring a Jiang Yuan, but also bring her younger brother who has just returned from studying abroad.

The more he looked at Shen Yeling, the more he was a treasure, and as soon as he started acting, he caught up with every good time. Therefore, he treated Shen Yeling more and more carefully, he was simply afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of breaking it in his hand.

However, Luo Xiaoqi's younger brother is a rare big man, he is not the youngest son of Luo Zhengting, Luo Mingqi, but the hairy boy that Luo Xiaoqi picked up halfway, a person who has no blood relationship with him. Luo Xiaoqi took good care of her, but her cousins who were also overseas were still outside and didn't ask, so it's no wonder that she was acting weird and ruthless.

Recently, Xunyang's new discussion point is the role of Luo Xiaoqi's younger brother who returned from studying abroad, it seems that as long as Luo Xiaoqi has any action, they can be captured, and then praise it and talk about it, and then take it out and consider her personal character, ideology and morality. When you think about it, you will pour all the water on her.

Manager Li doesn't have the leisure time to listen to them talk about these things and what they don't have, business is to be done, Luo Xiaoqi's life is not kind, and some people don't care.

He caught a glimpse of a car parked at the doorway, and a soldier in uniform was stationed on either side of the doorway, and one soldier opened the back door of the car, and out came a young man in a tweed-gray coat.

The young man was tall and top-notch, with stiff and handsome facial features, and a straight waist, which seemed to be unyielding no matter how much he pressed, and the young man habitually unbuttoned the shirt sleeves in his tweed coat when he got out of the car, and raised his feet to step into the threshold.

When I walked in, Manager Li found that this was not Zhang Raoshun, the chief of the patrol room. When he came to power as the town guard, he also made a speech in the town square, and Manager Li came to see it at that time.

The town guard envoy came, and Manager Li hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Obviously, Zhang Raoshun couldn't get used to these pretended to please too much, so he sat in the center of the stage with his face pulled, flipped a few pages with the script handed over casually, and said to Manager Li behind him without looking back: "Which scene is posted at your door."

Manager Li thought about it, and what was hanging at the door was "The Drunken Concubine" that Shen Yeling was going to sing in a few days, which was the highlight of the show. Zhang Rao Shun snapped the notebook shut: "Okay, just order this one, tell you to put on makeup for the scene that was originally singing this scene, and go on the stage."

Manager Li shook his head in embarrassment, frowned, and said, "It's not that we don't arrange it for you, it's just that this play and this play are not sung in advance, and the bottom is not ready."

"Then tell them to prepare now", Zhang Raoshun didn't say a word, and he was a little irritable.

These days, he has been busy looking for the biting fugitive, and finally got a clue, saying that a prison history has seen the Luo family visit the night when the group of prisoners were about to enter the mine. I don't know exactly which prison he visited.

He has the heart to be a good Qing official, what it is like to be a Qing official is to not be afraid of the powerful, and besides, he used to be at home, and no one around his father really rejected him, and he has nothing to fear.

But when he even told Luo Xiaoqi about 'carrying the coffin in the middle of the night', he could never understand how that little girl, who sometimes looked like a child, made him afraid. Every time I think about her smiling at you, it makes my back chill. Maybe it's because of the cold weather, or maybe it's because her clothes are a little inexplicably weird.

At the end of their talk, Luo Xiaoqi slapped the table and said that he was here as the chief of the patrol house, and it was better to go back to his father to raise soldiers, which was better than this. He is a person who will not accept his fate, this time he interrogated Luo Xiaoqi to no avail, but she was sent to the army. The next day, his father Zhang Dashuai called and asked him to manage anyone in Xunyang, but don't provoke Luo Xiaoqi.

Even his father, who was far away in Tianjin, knew about this, his father had 3,000 elite soldiers, and he was a well-known generalissimo, and he really hadn't seen anyone he was afraid of, so he actually went to Xunyang to watch a play with Luo Xiaoqi for a business.

Zhang Raoshun hadn't been so wronged at that time, at least his father spoiled him, and he hadn't asked him not to touch anyone, but now it's better for him to be restrained. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he deliberately found Chunheyuan, and asked Xiyuanzi to sing him the day's play in advance, at least this would make him feel better.

Manager Li felt that this Zhang Raoshun was also a difficult lord to serve, so he couldn't say anything, and he was in a dilemma and wanted to persuade him to change the scene again, but Zhang Raoshun changed his mind and said: "You really have Shen Yeling in the theater."

"Yo, didn't you read it just now, the big drama newspaper at the door has the name 'Shen Yeling' written on Boss Shen, can there be anything wrong", Manager Li pointed out the door.

Zhang Raoshun was not blind, but asked with a little uncertainty in his heart: "Is it really from Beiping"?

Manager Li glared and swallowed his saliva, nodded, this whole Xunyang has spread, and Shen Yeling, a popular singer in Beiping, wants to sing "The Drunken Concubine" in Chunhe Courtyard, doesn't Zhang Raoshun know this news yet.

After getting confirmed, Zhang Raoshun lazily leaned on the Taishi chair, stretched out his finger and pointed at the stage, and ordered: "Go, call Boss Shen over." This Rao Shun doesn't listen to the play now, but wants to call people.

Manager Li couldn't see through his thoughts, but he just felt that this town guard history was menacing, and Boss Shen must be difficult to deal with for a while, how could Boss Shen be so thin and weak that he could withstand the destruction of Zhang Zhenshou's uncertain character.

But he still couldn't resist the oppression and called Shen Yeling over, and then hid outside the curtain behind the stage to peep, and sweated for Shen Yeling without heavily.

Who knew that as soon as the two met, Zhang Raoshun, who had originally pulled a long face, suddenly brightened his face, and stood up directly from the long-sitting Taishi chair, and said excitedly: "Ye Ling, it's really you", said and walked over and pulled Shen Yeling's hand up, and said again without waiting for Shen Yeling to react: "They said that Shen Yeling, a famous singer in Beiping, came here to sing and I didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it when I see you and something impossible." You said that you stayed in Beiping and came here to sing and do something."

Shen Yeling also smiled, not as anxious and excited as Zhang Raoshun. Slowly explained: "Last time you listened to me sing in the teahouse with Dashuai, I still remember my appreciation, but I had a little change in Beiping, so I wanted to go back to my hometown to find a sober place to sing again, but I didn't expect Young Master Zhang to be a town guard here, it's really fate."

Zhang Rao Shun grinned, casually put his arm on his shoulder and turned into a concerned face: "I have heard about your little thing in Beiping, is there anyone bullying you, you can rest assured that my father has a little power in Beiping, who bullies you, you tell me, I will take someone to find them."

Shen Yeling hurriedly waved his hand, and even shook his head, looking embarrassed.

Manager Li, who was hiding behind the scenes, looked even more puzzled, this originally seemed to be looking for Zhang Raoshun, how could he see Shen Yeling like a friend who had reunited after a long absence, and looked at Zhang Raoshun with an enthusiastic face towards Shen Yeling, who was tied in place, and knew that the two of them must have something famous.

In fact, Zhang Raoshun once came to Beiping with his father to do business in the early years, and his father took her to the teahouse to listen to the play on a whim, and it happened that the stage performance was a scene in "Dream in the Garden", and Shen Yeling played Du Liniang. He was originally a man and a woman, and no one could recognize him as a man with makeup, and he was like Du Liniang who came out of the script, and he was even more beautiful when he stood on the stage.

This scene straightened Zhang Raoshun's eyes, and he mistakenly thought that Shen Yeling was a yellow flower girl who sang opera, and praised Shen Yeling on the stage with the father next to him. His father also thought that Shen Yeling was a daughter, and the true color of a boy was up, and he also missed that Shen Yeling was in good shape. After singing this play, it directly made Master Zhang's mind revolve around Shen Yeling and couldn't sleep for several days, so he made up his mind to listen to Shen Yeling sing again, and after the play, Zhang Rao Shun went directly to the backstage and waited for Shen Yeling to come back.

When I saw him, I told him about the spring heart he had a crush on. "If you can, you don't have to sing and sell art anymore, follow him back to Tianjin to be an aunt's wife, he has never married and his own son is clean." This sincere statement was directly rejected by Shen Yeling, on the grounds that he was a man, and he was by no means a broken sleeve.

But Zhang Rao Shun is not, he just made a joke about the wrong gender, this is the first time he has said such a bold confession to someone, but he didn't expect the result to be so ridiculous, he wants to go back to Tianjin first to reflect on it, and then confess when he sees his heartbeat, but he has to see whether it is a big girl or a beautiful man.

When he was about to leave for Tianjin, but he got a blow from his father, and his father was angry and said: What you like is not good, you have to like lowly plays.

At that time, he did not know why the actors were low, and why his father compared them to prostitutes who sold meat. He just felt that they sang so well that it touched his heart, but he hadn't made it clear to Shen Yeling that day that he actually liked his singing very much, and if he left like this, he didn't know when he would be able to come to Beiping again. He ran to the theater overnight, and said to Shen Yeling, who stepped down with some hesitation: I really like the drama sung by Boss Shen, and I hope to become a confidant with Boss Shen in the future.

This time they said that they wanted to be husband and wife, and the second time they met, they became confidants, and anyone would think that this little young master had a problem with his brain, but Shen Yeling accepted him as a confidant regardless of his previous suspicions, which made him feel at ease to return to Tianjin.

After this incident, Shen Yeling also met many officials who came to curry favor, but he was unforgettable to Zhang Raoshun.

So that now that they are reunited, the two are still talking happily, Zhang Raoshun is still not married, but Shen Yeling has been taking care of his long-ailing wife for a few years.
