"Yue San'er, you change your clothes, let's go out now!"

Because Bai Liansheng said in the morning that he wanted to eat the mutton from Zhengyang Tower, Xu Yiliang called in advance to book a table, and he made a special trip to pick up Yu Yuesan this time.

"Where are you going!"

"Go to a restaurant, didn't we all agree in the morning? Go to greet Liansheng?"

Xu Yiliang took out the overcoat that Bai Liansheng gave him and put it on, while urging Yu Yuesan to change, "It's cold outside at night, you should wear something thicker."

"Hey!" Yu Yuesan agreed, and went back to her room to look through the suitcase but felt worried.This suitcase was sent by Xu Yiliang to the theater to help him get it back. It was an old wooden box that looked older than him.Inside are some old clothes for daily wear and a few silk flowers from opera hairpins. Although they haven't been torn to be patched, the whitish color and rough texture all reveal a sense of poverty and poverty.

Yu Yuesan's only decent long gown was on her body, but the second Ying Jing'er's dress was no longer found in the box.Mr. Xu told him to wear warm clothes. If he was shivering outside in the cold, wouldn't it be a blow to Mr. Xu's face.

Yu Yuesan took out a cotton-padded jacket from the box and changed it on his body. This was what he used to wear during the Chinese New Year.Yu Yuesan stood in front of the full-length mirror. He should be happy to wear this clothes because he seldom wore them once, but when he thought of the fashionable woolen coat that Bai Liansheng gave Mr. Xu, his eyes became moist unconsciously.The funny padded jacket I was wearing was like the suitcase in the corner of the room, it seemed out of place with everything rich and grand here.

"Yue San'er? Have you changed it yet? Why is it taking so long?" Xu Yiliang pushed the door open and came in, and saw Yu Yuesan standing in front of the mirror in a daze, wearing an old-fashioned padded jacket, holding the corners of the clothes tightly with both hands, The eyes were ignorant, but the heart became clear.

"Have you lost weight recently? This padded jacket looks a bit big and doesn't fit well?" Xu Yiliang looked at the mirror and smiled.

Yu Yuesan looked down at her toes and said, "I'd better not go..."

"It's all because I didn't think well. You are new here, so you must have a lot of things that you haven't brought with you. I'll ask someone to go to the troupe to pick them up for you tomorrow."

Yu Yuesan raised his head and glanced at Xu Yiliang in the mirror. He didn't bring everything together.Not to mention that all his belongings are in this broken box, even if there is anything, it has been stripped away by the class leader long ago, so there is nothing left for him.But he was grateful for Xu Yiliang's thoughtfulness and not saying anything, so he didn't want to open his mouth to brush off his kindness again.

Xu Yiliang went back to the house and asked Aunt Mei to find some clothes he wore to school in the past. It was a wool jacket and a gray robe. At that time, his figure was thinner than now, so Yu Yuesan would not be very fat in wearing it. Just slightly longer.Aunt Mei measured his size with a rope, and made some adjustments with scissors and needlework, and it fit a lot.

Xu Yiliang looked Yu Yuesan up and down and said with a smile, "It doesn't look like an opera singer, but like a silly son of a landlord's family!"

Xu Yiliang also smiled at himself in the mirror, and couldn't bear to let go of stroking the smooth material on the hem of the clothes. He had never worn such a good material in his life. Xiapei is even more magnificent.

After they finished dressing, they went to the courtyard next door to invite Bai Liansheng, but the housekeeper said that Boss Bai had gone out for a walk in the afternoon, maybe he went to the restaurant directly.The two of them didn't say much, got into Xu Yiliang's Ford car, and went to the front door.

Zhengyanglou is a mutton restaurant specializing in barbecue. As soon as winter comes, diners who eat mutton flock to Zhengyanglou. If you don't make a reservation in advance, you will have to wait for a long time.

In the courtyard of Zhengyang Building, there are several generous tables in the open air, with pine branches roasted on the table, and the diners sit around and chat while grilling, feasting.

Yu Yuesan had never seen such a scene, but felt that these well-dressed gentlemen and a few foreigners with curly hair and blue eyes were sitting here grilling meat, no different from the farmers they saw in the countryside when they were young.

When the two entered the door, a shop assistant greeted them and went to the elegant seat in the hall.The lobby was also full of seats, full of voices.Maybe it was a sideshow, several masters at the counter were cutting mutton under the watchful eyes of everyone.Dazzling for a while, the blades were flying, and the mutton cut into the plate was uniform in size and uniform in thickness, and many diners looked at it with relish.

Before entering the private seat, Bai Liansheng saw Xu Yiliang from a distance, just about to stand up and wave to him, but when he saw the people behind him, he raised his eyebrows and sat back down again.

Xu Yiliang led Bai Liansheng into the private room, so he was not too polite, picked a seat at random and sat down.As soon as the man served the tea, the roasted leg of lamb was served on the table. The man lit the pine branches in the baking tray with a match and asked Xu Yiliang,

"Would you like some wine, sir?"

Bai Liansheng laughed, "As long as he pours a glass of wine, what kind of wine is there?"

Xu Yiliang turned his head and asked Yu Yuesan, "Do you want to drink? How about some sweet wine, which is not good?"

Bai Liansheng sneered, "I don't think he can drink. If you insist on coaxing him to drink, don't you have other plans?"

Seeing that Yu Yuesan kept shaking his head, Xu Yiliang waved his hands and told the man to back out with a smile, "What are you talking about? I'm fine. I'm not born with such a blessing. Yue San'er should try it. Isn't such a good mutton just a piece of meat?" Wouldn't some wine be wasteful?"

Yu Yuesan said from the side, "It's not that I don't want to drink. In the past, every time I drank alcohol, I developed a rash on my body. At first I thought it was the wind, but later I realized it was because of the alcohol, so I didn't dare to drink anymore."

After hearing this, Xu Yiliang nodded, then passed chopsticks to the two, and he took the knife to cut the mutton in the lead, and distributed it to the plates of the two, and then he picked up a few slices and ate it freely.

When Yu Yuesan was eating his mouthful and satisfied, when he looked up, he saw Bai Liansheng sitting there drinking Pu'er tea leisurely. He only ate three or two slices of mutton on the plate, and he said strangely, "Boss Bai, what are you doing?" Why don't you eat it?"

Bai Liansheng put down the teacup and said, "I'm just greedy, three or two slices are enough to quench my thirst. Recently, there was a play rehearsal, and I dare not eat more mutton, because if I eat too much, I will get angry."

Xu Yiliang put some more slices of mutton on Yu Yuesan's plate and said, "Eat yours, don't worry about him. He is a big star with red horns, and he will lose his shape if he eats too much. Therefore, he would rather starve to death than eat too much .”

Yu Yuesan looked at Bai Liansheng's indifferent expression with some surprise, and thought that such good mutton, even if he ate two catties, he would not be able to satisfy his hunger.Some people can resist not to eat.With such delicious food in front of you, how much self-control does it take to hold back your chopsticks?

If it is for the play, then everything can be willing.Yu Yuesan secretly looked at Bai Liansheng with her eyes, and she felt a little approving in her heart.

Yu Yuesan dipped a piece of mutton into his mouth and chewed it, letting out a contented sigh.Silently thinking in my heart, if I still sing opera now, with such a delicacy in front of my eyes, can I still control my hand holding the chopsticks.

But then I thought about it again, when I was in the theater troupe, I couldn't get enough to eat every day, so I couldn't even think about restraint or not.

After Xu Yiliang ate some, his chopsticks slowed down, and he chatted with Bai Liansheng while eating.Bai Liansheng went to Shanghai for two months this time, so he naturally shared a lot of knowledge with him. The two of them talked to each other, and said something Yu Yuesan didn't understand, but Yu Yuesan didn't interrupt, just buried his head in his mouth. .

"Yiliang, I want to buy a small car to drive, do you think I should buy a Chevrolet or a Buick?"

"What do you do when you buy a car? Take my Ford and drive it casually."

"Then I drove yours, what are you driving?"

"Hey, anyway, I'm not far from work, so riding a bicycle is good, and I can also exercise."

Bai Liansheng shook his head and said, "Winter is coming soon, it's too cold to ride a bicycle, you'd better take your bicycle."

While the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door of the private seat, and then a tall and burly man pushed the door and walked in.

Xu Yiliang and Bai Liansheng were stunned for a moment, then got up one after another and welcomed the man in.Although Yu Yuesan didn't understand why, seeing this scene, she also put down her chopsticks, stood up and stepped aside.

The visitor was wearing a splendid gown with broad shoulders and a straight back of the neck. He was born with a clothes hanger.His hair was combed neatly, his brows were sharp, and his eyes were slender. He looked like a gentle businessman.

Bai Liansheng had eaten a few slices of mutton, but he was roasted by this stove for a long time, and his whole body was already warm.But the man's thin eyelids glanced at him inadvertently, but it seemed to bring a gust of icy wind, sending him into an ice cave.

Bai Liansheng knew this person very well, this person was Qi Weiming, the brigade commander of the [-]th Mixed Brigade of the Guard Army.

With Bai Liansheng's popularity in Pingjin, he would not dare to show his face casually in the streets and alleys of this city on weekdays. It would inevitably cause commotion among the crowd, and he booked a private room just to guard against this.

But he can't guard against anyone who can enter the private room, not to mention that it is not difficult to find a reason to seal up the restaurant because of this person's happiness.

Bai Liansheng frowned secretly, he could meet him at any restaurant when he went out to eat, how could it be such a coincidence.I'm afraid that just after returning from Shanghai, people will be watching.

In the past year, whenever Bai Liansheng played, the army commander would go to support him. He was sitting in the box on the second floor drinking tea, and the soldiers and guards under him all had their guns behind their backs. Standing in the theater with an expressionless expression, all the fans who came to listen to the show were scared to death.There are those good-natured people who have read too many legendary dramas, and based on this, they acted out a bloody drama in which the military commander in power occupies the popular celebrity, and the insinuating pseudonym was serialized in the lace tabloids, and it continued to spread in the market. The "Bai Lian Sect" hated this army commander for no reason, and everyone who saw him rolled up their sleeves to act like a hero to save the beauty.

The army commander later listened to a lot of dramas, and got acquainted with Bai Liansheng a lot.He spent a lot of money, invited him to dinner a few times, and invited him to two parties, and treated Bai Liansheng like a gentleman.Later, Bai Liansheng told him about the soldiers and guards, and the army commander also followed suit, put away his defenses, and no longer wore military uniforms when he came to the theater, just sitting quietly like an ordinary bureaucrat and wealthy businessman. Appreciate it there.When encountering a place where Bai Liansheng sang very well, he didn't applaud aloud, but applauded lightly, but more money was thrown away.

If it were someone else, if they met such a benefactor, they would have to be thankful, and they would have to use all their means to subdue him.

It's just that Bai Liansheng is always a little more in awe of this army commander who doesn't show any emotions, and he can't see him as soon as he can. He always feels that he has other plans, and it's too late to hide, let alone cause him to hook up.

When the army commander entered this gate, he toasted lightly, said that the meal money had been paid for them, and left after drinking.
