Mingjun is not descended from the world

The word "family" was like a pair of sharp knives pierced straight into every joint of Yu Yuesan's body.

He laughed at himself, and said, "I know what Boss Bai thinks of me. Speaking of which, he is also an opera singer, but he does not go on stage or perform. He is raised at home, eats and wears well. Outsiders look , What kind of deeds did they do to tarnish the reputation of Liyuanxing for nothing."

Bai Liansheng's originally pure and proud expression also showed a little looseness, and Yu Yuesan was murmuring alone, his voice seemed to be weeping and complaining, it seemed that his face was dry, but there was no light in his eyes.

"But I also learned it through ten years of hard work, so why did I end up like..."

Yu Yuesan stopped talking at this point, he looked at Bai Liansheng with a slightly embarrassed expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, regretting that he had said too much, and spit out what was in his heart without paying attention.I had no choice but to change my words and said, "I know that I am not close to Boss Bai. Today, I am being promoted by Boss Bai, so I dare to say my sincere words. I have kept these words in my stomach for a long time, and I really feel uncomfortable. If it is abrupt, Boss Bai will just pretend that he has never heard of it, and it will come in with the left ear and go out with the right ear.

Now that Kunqu Opera is in decline, troupes have no operas to sing, and everyone says that I was born at the wrong time, not catching up with the age when Kunqu Opera flourished.But I do not regret entering the industry. Although I am young, I have loved Kunqu Opera and this stage all my life. I have never neglected every fold, every performance, a role, or a line of libretto.But looking at the situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to be on stage again from now on. I don't have any other extravagant demands, I just want to borrow your light, Boss, even if it's serving tea and water, it's good to stay here a little longer. "

Bai Liansheng stared at Yu Yuesan, as if he wanted to make a hole in his face.He was born in a family of banner origin, so to speak, he was also born in a famous family, and his family status destined him to be noble and comfortable in his life.But who knows that the world is changing, the family is in decline, and without the protection of his family, he was sold into an opera troupe at the age of six, and it took him ten years of hard work before he became a teacher, earning his way to where he is now step by step.

He hates theater and loves it, and it is for this reason that he has practiced his skills since he was a child, and he never stops during the cold winter and summer heat.I have suffered endlessly, and I have also suffered from the cruelty of the world.

But speaking of it, if Beijing Opera hadn't given him thousands of fans and a lot of wealth, so that he could climb to the qualification and status where he could see Xu Yiliang again, he wouldn't have the slightest love for this industry Woolen cloth.

Like, like the smokey soil that cannot live without it, but dies when it is close to it.

But Yu Yuesan, who had almost the same fate as him, had feelings and paranoia completely different from his.

"This cage, since you have jumped out, why do you need to enter it again?"

Bai Liansheng shook his head subconsciously, he couldn't understand what Yu Yuesan was thinking, but somehow wanted to drag him in, into this abyss of bitter sea where people could drown.

Xu Yiliang recently discovered that Yu Yuesan seemed to be obsessed with Bai Liansheng's plays, not only to watch every scene, but also to go backstage to accompany Bai Liansheng.

Xu Yiliang was puzzled, when did the two become so close.Surprisingly, the two of them didn't seem to have much contact with each other at home, and they didn't often move around across a wall.But when they entered the backstage, they were always in the same place, as if they were brothers.

That day Xu Yiliang was out on business and passed by Guangheju, only to remember that Bai Liansheng was having a show here today, and thinking that Yu Yue would also be staying with him, so he stopped the car on a sudden whim and walked backstage .

As soon as Xu Yiliang stepped into the backstage door, he saw Yu Yuesan and Bai Liansheng turned their heads and looked at him with different expressions.

Bai Liansheng was sitting in front of the mirror, his face was already drawn, with a silver ingot on his hair, he looked like a poor woman.

And Yu Yuesan stood behind Bai Liansheng, looking at Xu Yiliang with a little dodge in his eyes, as if someone had done something bad and was caught on the spot, his hand holding the silver tassel was hanging in the air, and he didn't know whether he should wear it or not. go up.

"Yue San? Yue San?" Bai Liansheng turned his head and yelled at Yu Yuesan twice, Yu Yuesan just came back to his senses, and gave Bai Liansheng the thing in his hand to gently pin it on his hair.

"Who are you?" Xu Yiliang put his hands in his trouser pockets, somewhat unable to understand what tricks these two were playing.

Before Yu Yuesan could open his mouth, Bai Liansheng opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Yuesan has been away from stage skills for a long time, so he wanted to come to my backstage for a walk, to savor the aftertaste."

Xu Yiliang looked at Yu Yuesan, and couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, he saw Yu Yuesan slightly lowered his head and fiddled with Bai Liansheng's head, muttering in reply, but he didn't meet Xu Yiliang's eyes.

Xu Yiliang didn't say much, he just put down the shredded radish pancakes he bought at Zhimeizhai on the way, and then hurried back to the shop.

What Yu Yuesan was doing at Bai Liansheng's place recently was not difficult to find out.It's just that he feels that Yu Yuesan has nothing to do every day, so it's good to go out with Bai Liansheng to meet some scenes, socialize with people, and relieve boredom. Even if he combs Bai Liansheng's hair, it's not a shameful thing.

But he received monthly money from Bai Liansheng.

Xu Yiliang sat dully on the chair in the front hall of the main room. The door was wide open, and the thick cotton curtain hanging on the door couldn't help being shaken by the wind. When the wind was a little stronger, it got into the crack of the door and blew into the hall. .The wisps of white smoke from the big heating stove on the ground swayed crookedly with the cool wind.

Aunt Mei saw Yu Yuesan came back in the yard, she didn't dare to speak loudly, she just grabbed his hand, and made a push towards the house with her mouth flattened: Second master is angry.

Yu Yuesan was worried all the way, Xu Yiliang left without saying a word in the morning, maybe he was speculating about something, or inquiring about something.Looking at this scene now, I understand most of it in my heart, and it seems that I am really angry.

Yu Yuesan lifted the curtain and stepped into the room. The sunlight walked in along the gap and spread on the floor tiles.

Xu Yiliang was still sitting there, neither saying a word nor looking at him.

Yu Yuesan felt that the room was dark and dull, making it hard to breathe.He walked around the house, but felt that it was too cold to open the window, and it was too early to turn on the lights, so he sat on the chair opposite Xu Yiliang helplessly.

"Yue San," Xu Yiliang said after a long time, "What do you do in Bai Liansheng's backstage?"

The one who should come is still here, Yu Yuesan sat upright and said in a low voice, "Talk to him."

Xu Yihao seemed to laugh, "Is there a hair comb for the show?"

"..." Yu Yuesan hesitated for a while, and finally gave up on the detour, and said simply, "It's a combing of hair and a play."

Xu Yiliang was silent for a while, as if he was pondering his words, he turned and leaned on the table and said softly to Yu Yuesan, "Yuesan, did you misunderstand something, I brought you back, not to serve others , let alone serve Bai Liansheng. If he makes things difficult for you, you can come and tell me, and I will tell him that you don't have to go to him to do these things..."

"No, don't blame Boss Bai, I'm going to comb his hair."

Xu Yiliang looked at it inexplicably and said, "Are you feeling bored at home every day? Is it because I don't have time to accompany you?"

Yu Yuesan quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Mr. Xu is busy with business every day, and he has to find ways to help me with entertainment. I am very sorry. It is because I am attached to the stage and insist on relying on Boss Bai."

Xu Yiliang seemed to accept what Yu Yuesan said, but there was another fact that stuck in his throat. He somewhat suppressed the violent fluctuations in his tone, and said in a deep voice, "Then why do you want to receive Yueyin from Liansheng? Is there not enough money to spend? Or you have other difficulties, can you tell me?"

Yu Yuesan seemed to be having trouble opening his mouth, he murmured, "No, it's not because of this."

"Then why?" Xu Yiliang frowned and stood up from the chair, pacing back and forth in the room, with 1 thoughts running through his mind, but he didn't understand. Mingming Yu Yuesan only needs to open his mouth, how much will he pay? They can be taken out for him to use as he likes, but why does he choose to go far away and receive a pitiful ten silver dollars from Bai Liansheng every month.

Yu Yuesan muttered in three mouths, unable to say why for a long time.The fire in the stove was about to go out, but Yu Yuesan was sweating profusely.Even he felt bored in his heart, like a fire burning ragingly.After much deliberation, he gave Yu Yuesan an absurd look. Could it be that he fell in love with Bai Liansheng?

When he thought of this, it was as if a bowl of oil was poured on the flame, and there was only a puff, and the flame shot up high, as if it wanted to lick the ceiling clean.

That good patience was also burnt out, he stood still in front of Yu Yuesan, clasped his upper arms with both hands, and said indiscriminately, "So why are you short of money, why don't you ask me for it? Can't I afford you? Is the money given to you not enough for you to spend?"

Yu Yuesan suddenly raised his head, and stared at Xu Yiliang in horror, his eyes were full of unbelievable characters.Suddenly, a look of sadness, self-mockery and even disappointment appeared on his pale face.He lowered his head and said with some self-deprecation, "I was afraid that it would be so, and it really is..."

Xu Yiliang looked at Yu Yuesan with some annoyance, and unconsciously increased his strength, "Speak clearly, what are you afraid of, and what about me?"

Yu Yuesan raised his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and seemed to have a smile on his face, he said softly, "Second Lord, in your eyes, who am I?"

Xu Yiliang's heart skipped a beat. Yu Yuesan had always called him Mr. Xu. Before, he thought it was too generic and asked him to change his name, but he stubbornly refused.Xu Yiliang only thought that he was shy and didn't force it.But I never heard him call him the second master like those housekeepers and maids.

Before Xu Yiliang opened his mouth, he saw a glint of water flashing towards him, "Is it a gentleman who serves others? An actor who entertains others? Or is it a concubine of Jinwu Zangjiao?"

When Xu Yiliang heard this, it was like a bolt of lightning flashing across his head.The Western-style education he received since he was a child maintains the concept of freedom and equality in marriage and love.Ever since he met Yu Yuesan, he first loved his lingering and mellow drama, and then fell in love with his calm personality. He has always maintained an attitude of being close and loving, so he also follows the measure of respect and distance when getting along.He was always afraid of Chao Yue making mistakes, and he never thought about what Yu Yuesan said.

Xu Yiliang couldn't speak for a while, so he subconsciously shook his head.Seeing his expression, Yu Yuesan was a little discouraged and said, "It's great to be rich. You can buy someone to put in your home, and it will become your property, your appendage, and your property. His wealth and fate are all in your hands." It looks like a cat or dog in his hands. When he is happy, he buys some more noble clothes to dress him up, tease him, and make himself happy and seductive. But no one knows that such a cat or dog will fall out of favor one day It's nothing more than waiting for old age and fading, and then being abandoned like a wretch and living on the streets."

Hearing this, Xu Yiliang's heart became cold, and then his sorrow and grievance also permeated. Although he looked like a dude in his family background, he never did anything provocative emotionally.If you like someone, you can't wait to give him all the good things you can find, what's wrong?Could it be that because of his good family background, it is the original sin to be willing to spend money, and if he has money, he is not worthy of having sincerity?

Xu Yiliang looked at Yu Yuesan as if he was looking at someone he didn't know, "You don't have to think so much. The way I treat you is not treating you like a good actor. I treat you well because you are worthy of me. Treat you like this. And I spend money for you just because I have it in my hand. "

Yu Yuesan sighed and said, "I know you treat me sincerely, but the more I spend your money, the more unhappy I feel. Back then, I was plotted against and fell into prostitution, and I couldn't complain. My life is cheap. But who knows how pitiful God is, fortunately the second master rescued me from the sea of ​​suffering. I have no way to repay this kindness, and how can I enjoy the glory and wealth you give me with peace of mind. Since I am an independent person I can’t rely on people to live. Even if it’s a thin dog’s tail grass, it’s better than being a vine that clings to a big tree. I owe so much kindness to the second master, and I can pay back some of the ransom money on my own. , I feel at ease."

After Xu Yiliang heard this, although most of the fire in his heart was extinguished, he still shook his head and said, "Then what do you do? After paying back my money, will you break with me?"
