Chapter 17: The Second Man Who Smashes the Field
They were chatting, there was already a person standing at the gate of the theater, this person was wearing a burgundy gown, holding a wine jug in his hand, his face was a little red after not drinking much wine, he was a leper but he wanted to learn the appearance of Sven scum, with a pair of glasses on the tip of his nose, which made people look at a strong sense of contradiction, and the man shouted at them with an open voice: "Listen to the play, listen to the play, the master wants to listen to the play."
Manager Li heard that someone wanted to listen to the play again, so he hurriedly ran from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, could it be another guest who came to find fault?
As soon as Zhang Rao Shun saw that person, most of the smile on his face disappeared at once, and he gritted his silver teeth and said, "Jiang Yuan." Seeing that Jiang Yuan wanted to listen to the play, maybe he came to find Shen Yeling's stubble, he had seen a lot of such people in Beiping, and since he was here, he couldn't ignore it, so he asked Shen Yeling to go backstage first and meet Manager Li head-on.
Jiang Yuan saw through Zhang Raoshun at a glance in the crowd, playing leprosy, tilting his head to look over: "Yo, isn't this Zhang Zhenshou?" Did the fugitives get caught? Is it our little seventh master who did it"? Zhang Raoshun felt bored when he heard this person, when the former head of the Luo family was in charge, he also called our family to outsiders, and now when he is in charge of Luo Xiaoqi, he still licks his face and calls our little seventh master.
Zhang Raoshun let out of his nostrils and snorted: "It's not Mr. Jiang's turn to take care of this matter, although Mr. Jiang is a celebrity in front of the head of the Luo family, he can't help but stretch his hand too long."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, took a sip of wine and burped, which made the people around him disgusted to avoid the unpleasant smell of wine, but he still said happily regardless of it: "Yes, how can I have such idle time, I can't care about it."
Turning his head and instructing Manager Li, "Manager Li, I want to listen to the play, why don't you open the door to sing in the theater for a few days." Li Jingbao explained: "Aren't we preparing for Xiao Qiye, saying that we want to do our best, so the whole theater is not busy with this matter."
Zhang Raoshun was even more angry when he heard this, but Jiang Yuan was very satisfied when he heard it, touched his chin and said loudly: "Okay, when the singing is finished, I will write a play for the one who picks the class", Manager Li thanked him for Shen Yeling after hearing it, if he wrote another play and let Shen Yeling sing it, it might be more popular than the previous song "Drunken Red Mansion".
Zhang Raoshun watched Jiang Yuan come to the theater to disturb him to reminisce about the past, and he was even more angry, he looked at Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan wanted to annoy him in front of him, and pushed the hand holding the wine jug forward and said: "Then what do you want to sing Yang Guifei and bring me to meet, if you sing well, I will write a song for him now."
Jiang Yuan spoke a little frivolously, and Zhang Raoshun didn't want him to see Shen Yeling, so he also frowned: "Mr. Jiang didn't wake up from drinking, did he just come back from the brothel and came here, then he won't write anymore, because the drama he wrote is also full of fat powder, like something."
He Zhang Rao Shun didn't know that his previous famous song was written in a brothel, and it was well received when it was written, which was completely like words.
Jiang Yuan didn't care about these things with him, and continued to take another sip of wine, this time without hiccups: "What is Zhang Zhenshou jealous of, do you care that I have been to Fireworks Willow Lane and tasted the girl's mouth, but you don't."
"You 。。。。。" Zhang Rao Shun glared at Jiang Yuan viciously, his face was slightly red for some reason, and his eyes were blank.
These small movements happened to be captured by Jiang Yuan, he pointed at Zhang Raoshun with one hand, and tilted his head slightly to Manager Li's side as if he had discovered something big: "Ah, look at what I said, Zhang Zhenshou has never tasted the girl's mouth, so he is jealous that I often go to the brothel, and the beautiful girl is around me."
Zhang Raoshun was even more angry with him, his face was not blushing but being angry with this guy. He couldn't think of any words to go back and forth to this unserious person for a while, but Jiang Yuan directly hooked up with his shoulder, and said slightly provocatively: "It's okay, if Zhang Zhenshou follows me after he is inexperienced, I will take you to Fireworks Street to meet the girl."
Zhang Rao Shun frowned when he boarded, and he directly wanted to drag Jiang Yuan out and beat him, but if he offended Jiang Yuan, could Luo Xiaoqi spare him, and his father would have to come from Tianjin at that time. He still has to endure this, and if he can't bear it, he will leave.
He was so angry that he had no temper, snorted coldly, as if he had a habit of cleanliness, slapped a few times on the quilt coat that was touched by Jiang Yuan, and led the soldiers behind him to drive away.
Angry to leave Zhang Raoshun, Jiang Yuan even touched his nose and smiled, laughing innocently, as if Zhang Raoshun was angry and didn't care about his business, he didn't stay in the theater, let alone really let Manager Li call Shen Yeling over, he ordered a few times to perform well in a few days and left.
Originally, the people who came in one by one to find fault left, and Manager Li was relieved, but who expected Shen Yeling to chase him out, and for a while three people walked in his theater.
Shen Yeling took a step and chased in the direction Jiang Yuan left, and shouted at Jiang Yuan's back, "Does Mr. Jiang still want to listen to the play?"
Jiang Yuan was stopped by this unfamiliar voice and turned around, and he was picked up in large numbers. He looked at this man very familiarly, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Sir, do you still remember me, he took me to write and named me back then", Shen Yeling said eagerly without waiting for Jiang Yuan to answer.
Jiang Yuan's heart trembled, and the appearance of his slippery head disappeared in an instant, and he said vaguely: "What."
Shen Yeling continued: "Take us all over Xunyang, watch the sunrise and sunset, and say that he will take us all over the famous mountains and rivers in the future, this is what you said, sir."
Shen Yeling gave examples one by one, these were all kinds of things that Jiang Yuan experienced with them when he was taught by Jiang Yuan in the Luo family. Jiang Yuan was a little speechless, and tears appeared in his eyes for some reason: "Huai'an", he shouted out the two words with a trembling voice, his tone was a little surprised, and some suddenly realized like waking up from a dream.
Jiang Yuan rushed over excitedly and hugged him, the wine jug in his hand didn't press the lid, and he didn't care if the wine was half spilled, he just hugged Shen Yeling tightly for fear that he would run away. After being happy, he gradually let go of him, and touched his throat suspiciously, but no one else paid attention to it, but he noticed it, and he saw that Shen Yeling had an inconspicuous scar on his neck.
Puzzled: "What's the matter, where have you been all these years?" How can your voice get better"?
Shen Yeling smiled and slowly explained: "When I left Xunyang with my senior brother, I went to Beiping, and changed my name to Shen Yeling, there is an old doctor in Beiping who can cure my poisoned and dumb voice, so I stayed in Beiping for a few years, cured my throat, and by the way, I opened an opera troupe to sing with my brother, and now I have come back." I like to sing, I wanted to sing to Ah Sheng when I was in Xunyang, I couldn't at the time, but now I can, by the way, Ah Sheng, where is Ah Sheng now."
He said that he finally had the opportunity to find out Luo Yunsheng's whereabouts.
But Jiang Yuan was originally excited, and was dosqueezed by Shen Yeling's question about Luo Yunsheng, he pulled Shen Yeling's shoulder with a calm face and reminded: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's find one in Huai'an, and I'll tell you everything."
'Everything', he didn't know what had happened to the Luo family in the past ten years, he only knew that when he left, Luo Yun, the head of the Luo family, was alive and dead, and everyone who coveted the Luo family's meat was trying to fight, he wanted to take Luo Yunsheng with him, but at that time, he was dragged by his senior brother and taken to the carriage and walked on the road to Beiping, and then later, and then he didn't know anything.
The two came to a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and sat in the inner room through the screen, and Shen Yeling first picked out the best ones he had experienced in Beiping and told Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea, and then began to talk about Luo Yunsheng's news, but he sold it first: "Huai'an, do you remember the little white wolf that I raised at home back then."
Shen Yeling was a little vague about whether there was a little white wolf or not, and who the little white wolf was, so he nodded as if he pretended to know.
"You all liked that wolf back then, in fact, he had a name called Xiao Qi, I gave it, everyone looked at Ah Sheng as redundant on the day the Luo family changed, Shi Ji crossed out her name on the family tree, and from then on she didn't use the name Luo Yunsheng, but stole the name from the little wolf, called Xiao Qi."
He paused, observed the expression on Shen Yeling's face, and said with a calm face: "You should know who I'm talking about."
He didn't believe that with Luo Xiaoqi's momentum in Xunyang, Shen Yeling would not know who Luo Xiaoqi was.
Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, Shen Yeling looked at him with a panicked expression, Luo Xiaoqi, the current head of the Luo family, Luo Xiaoqi, the child with a crooked mouth and a smiling smile he saw through the crack in the door the night when he carried the coffin late at night.
Luo Xiaoqi and Shen Yeling's image of Luo Yunsheng in their hearts were very different, but they followed Jiang Yuan's confirmation and asked him to piece together the child he saw under the moon that night and the girl who gave him an uncle ten years ago.
His imagination is strong, but his adaptability is weak, and it will take some time to accept Luo Yunsheng as Luo Xiaoqi's identity.
But Jiang Yuan insisted on pinching off this time, and he wanted Shen Yeling to accept it.
He also knew that Luo Xiaoqi didn't want to appear in front of Shen Yeling in this capacity, if Shen Yeling couldn't accept it for a while, Luo Xiaoqi would only be more sad, so he started to provoke him with words: "It's also painful for you to treat your illness in Beiping, after all, the knife was cut from your neck, but Ah Sheng is not more painful than you." Others thought that she was semi-paralyzed when she couldn't think of drinking Hedinghong when she was a child, but in fact, she was beaten like this with wooden sticks by a few arrogant stewards of the Luo family, who stood up to speak for her at that time, there was no father and mother, and a group of heart relatives waiting for her to die, isn't it just a broken leg, and it's not a human life."
When Shen Yeling heard this, he gasped, and his heart seemed to be pressed by something, and he couldn't breathe and breathe. I heard that Luo Yunsheng was not regarded as a lively person, or died coldly. He felt comfortable and smooth, but when he heard that she still had a half-dead experience, his heart couldn't be stopped.
"She was just elected as the head of the Luo family, Luo Zhengting, thrown into the backyard of the deserted house, paralyzed legs and no one cared, when I went to see her, I saw her holding the child who was picked up from nowhere, saying that she wanted to raise. The child is not a few years younger than her, she herself is a semi-paralyzed and needs to be taken care of, why does she still have such a big heart to take care of people. But she didn't care, she said the kid laughed like you."
Jiang Yuan said, his tearful eyes turned to Shen Yeling, as if he was determining something. Shen Ye's heart had been hurting for a long time, and tears hung in his eyes and couldn't fall. That girl, the girl he swore to protect as a child, the one who once gave him all the warmth in his darkest moments, but at another moment he himself fell into the abyss and no one cared about it.
Jiang Yuan recovered his mentality, wiped two handfuls of tears, and looked at Shen Yeling's reaction, his seedling-boosting method had already worked, so he began to carry out the next step: "But now it's okay, she has endured it in her deserted house for ten years, and she finally has a bright future." Huai'an, you may not be able to imagine why Ah Sheng became like this, but I have seen it step by step, even if the people in Xunyang say that she is vicious and criticize her. You can't say it, I can't say it, you say it and it hurts her more than tens of millions of people slandering her in front of her, you know. ”
Shen Yeling's clothes had been scratched by him since when, his fingers were almost embedded in the flesh, it hurt, but he was still clenching, he sighed for a long time, the sweat on his head had been cold, and the tears in his eyes flowed back, but he still didn't shed tears.
There was nothing he could do, the only reaction he could do was this, he raised his head, his lips turned white at some point, and nodded in humiliation.
Jiang Yuan smiled calmly, very good, the formula for this step also has a complexion, but the next step should be to arrange for them to meet, but the two uncles and nephews who have not seen each other for ten years, even if they do not have the slightest blood relationship on the umbilical cord, still remember each other, to say that suddenly arranging an unprepared meeting, it is inevitable that there is some sincere fear.
So he chose left and right, and when Shen Yeling sang the day, he was arranging a reunion between the two, and this countermeasure was quite perfect, so he said to Shen Yeling again: "Huai'an, if you wait for me, I will be able to take you to see Ah Sheng immediately."
