Beat Generation

Today is my daughter Bo Mei’s wedding day. Early in the morning, someone stuffed a newspaper through the door to show me. In fact, my eyes are not as good as before. One eye is farsighted and the other eye is nearsighted. It's hard work, I don't bother to wear the glasses that Rong gave me, if Rong is there, she will read the newspaper to me, but when she is not here, I can only read by myself.

To be honest, I never thought that I would live long enough to see my daughter get married.

The newspaper's headline was talking about Wu Ershan and my daughter...but the whole article was about Ershan, not my daughter.

From the reporter's description, I can roughly imagine what they looked like at the wedding.

Times have changed. In the past, two women who engaged in an improper relationship would be arrested and jailed. Now, in our southern country, we can actually get married in a serious manner, with legal protection and social approval. This is really thanks to my husband Bo Zhengtao at that time. There was a bit of rigging in the voting, and the same-sex marriage law passed unanimously.

I still remember that this incident caused an international sensation in that year, and at the same time, many homophobic people in China took to the streets. There were estimated to be more than 100 demonstrations, demonstrations, and demonstrations held nationwide, and the venues were full, but homosexuals Not to be outdone, they made more than 200 games and tours to overwhelm them.

I still don't know why my husband wants to legalize same-sex marriage. He is a straight man himself, and I am also a straight woman with a full beard. Fortunately, after the implementation of this unique marriage law, the effect is good. It has the support of many partisans.

Well, I don't want to think about my husband anymore. Fortunately, Rong is not here. If Rong is here, I will inevitably be unhappy again.

My surname is Zheng. On the day my mother gave birth to me, all the lotus flowers in the palace were in bloom. My father came back from the palace and saw me as a newborn. My face was as bright as a pond full of lotus flowers. The name is Lianhe.

Later, my mother always felt that my name was not good, and she wanted to change it again and again. The reason was that she thought the lotus flower was not very good. Why? It grows out of the smelly mud. My mother always likes to be clean, so naturally she doesn't like me getting a little dust.

She raised me as a fairy since she was a child, which indirectly led to when I raised my daughter, I also raised her as a fairy, and didn't show her the filth and filth of the world, and didn't even give her any fireworks. Qi, now that I think about it, my daughter's personality must have suffered a lot after our Bo family completely collapsed, and it's all my fault.

Our ancestors were opera singers. My grandfather’s grandfather became an official because of his good singing, and climbed to become a celebrity around the emperor. Later, my grandfather also inherited the title. When it was my father’s turn, the country had already Dangers loomed all over the place, and the royal family was in a state of panic all day long. As an official, he was always on tenterhooks, for fear that if something went wrong in a play, his head would be chopped off.

But at home, my father would always smile and hold a small purple clay pot, shake a folding fan, listen to me singing songs, watch me juggle knives, my family has sung operas for generations, and in my generation, there are no males, only me Girl, my mother doesn’t want to be born again, so my father felt that a unique skill cannot be broken, so he let me learn from a master, let me sing Huadan for a while, and play martial arts for a while, wishing that I could play the role alone on stage all roles.

Generally speaking, my childhood was very schizophrenic, thanks to my father, I learned all kinds of operas, and I worshiped all teachers. Since I was three years old, I practiced three nines in winter and three days in summer. If there is room When there is a new type of drama, my father will definitely take me to see it.

Because of this, my mother often chased my father with a feather duster to beat him. Every time my father suffered pain, he would say, our daughter of the Zheng family must not only be able to sing, but also understand opera, and be proficient in all operas. Otherwise, how can others convince you? !My mother would often twist my father's ears and say in dissatisfaction, I don't know whether others will obey my daughter in the future, but I will obey you anyway!Are you going to let her perform in the future!What is the use of learning so much!

Speaking of it, my father is a steward of the Royal Pear Garden Company. He is not a big official, and he lives on a little favor every year, but he is a very responsible person. He said that in the future, their singing business will definitely not be like it is now. He is a low-ranking person, and it may become a kind of culture. His wish is to let every opera singer live a decent life after taking off his makeup.

This really made him right. Not long after his death, the declining imperial power fell, and it didn’t take long for the melee to split up. After the establishment of the Southern Kingdom, as the only daughter of the Zheng family, my mother shivered. I recommended it to the uncles and aunts of the Ministry of Literature and Art, hoping they can help me find a position in the "Xin Yamen". From then on, I became the boss of the National Opera Association, in charge of the inheritance and development of the national opera industry. Ascension, I have only one goal, to fulfill my father's behest.

Alas, also because of being this corrupt official, I got to know Rong Lanzhi, the woman who ruined the rest of my life.

As I said before, I am a straight woman and have no extra feelings for women.

The first time I saw her, I felt that this woman was full of evil spirits. She was indistinguishable from male and female, and she was so beautiful that both men and women loved her. Her romantic affairs were more dazzling than her own. In our era, this kind of person She was about to be arrested for an examination (covering her mouth) At that time, I really wanted to encourage Bo, who was not my husband, to read her book with me, and send Rong in for an examination, so that she could be an upright person.

Of course, Bo disagreed, because he felt that Rong Lanzhi was not a treacherous person. You see, Rong had already cultivated to the top when she was very young, and even Bo didn't know her real body and let her go. Ten thousand years of harming people.

Rong Lanzhi's grandfather said in detail that she has some connections with our Zheng family's ancestors. Her grandfather's grandfather was also a singer, and he had some friendship with my grandfather's grandfather. But later, her grandfather chopped off one of her hands with a big knife. Instead, he went into business, relying on a little contact with the royal family, and made a fortune in a muffled voice.

When I first met her, she vividly talked about the murder scene after her great-grandfather cut off one of her hands, which made everyone laugh, including me.But it may be that I laughed a little late, I laughed after everyone else finished laughing, and when I smiled, she looked at me with her evil eyes.

At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of that look, so I could only politely say sorry and claim that I sympathized with her grandfather's grandfather very much. (Cover your mouth, after all, there are almost no people who can cut off their own hands...)

Later, we met again three or four times, all of which were gatherings of friends from the opera industry. Sometimes she organized a group, and sometimes I formed a group. In order to liven up the atmosphere, she often ridiculed all kinds of bizarre deeds after her family became an upstart. Why do you have to rinse your mouth with bird’s nest in the morning, you must take a rickshaw when you go out, and you must wear the best Hetian jade around your waist... At that time, I admired her self-deprecation very much, and she was also very impressed by her broad-minded self-deprecation. I soon had many friends and gained a firm foothold in the capital.

Later, for some reason, she didn’t call me when she got organized. Instead, she often drove her conspicuous convertible car secretly and waited at my door, got out of the car suddenly, and said she wanted to invite me. I went to eat ice cream. Once my mother saw it, she taught me a lesson, saying that girls are afraid of the cold at home, and things are too cold to eat every day.

After that time, Rong Lanzhi invited me to the tea house instead. For a while, we got together very frequently, mainly because Bo and I got into an inevitable quarrel. We decided to get married, but we each had a lot of problems. Things were not handled well, so a lot of small conflicts evolved, and Rong just listened to me talking about those things, sometimes expressing opinions, and sometimes being silent shocked me.

If I had been more sensitive back then, I should have known, Rong Lanzhi probably fell in love with me?

It's a pity that I was young and frivolous, my head was not good, and I didn't see the problem at all, so that I didn't know the root of the trouble. I should be more sensible at that time, and I should avoid looking for her, so as to avoid giving her an excuse decades later, I don't know who it is, clinging to me every day, talking to me to distract me, using me as a mistress, but not giving me any benefits of the mistress.

By the way, there was no mistress in our time, we all said—the third party.

The first person who saw something was wrong was definitely not me who is now in prison, but my husband, Bo became very sensitive for a while,

When I looked in the mirror and put on my tie for a while, I asked:

Bo: Ah He, why do you go to Rong Lanzhi's house every day when I'm not around?

Me: Go play mahjong and listen to an opera.

When you go out for a while, ask me:

Bo: Ah He, apart from playing mahjong and listening to opera, does Rong Lanzhi do anything else with you?

Me: Of course!

Bo: what? ? ? ! ! !

Me: You can also swim in the lake and listen to operas. The cakes on the boat recently are excellent.

Thin:…………

Called me while on a business trip and asked:

Bo: Ah He, did Rong Lanzhi ever say the following to you:

Me: Well, what do you think?

Bo: Ah He, I really like being with you.If only we could be together like this every day.

Me: This is her mantra.Say it every time you meet.

Bo: Ah He, don't go back tonight, your husband is not at home anyway.

Me: Well, she seems to have said it several times.

Bo: How many times have you said that?

Me: Not many, about ten times.I'm all back though, because I'm coming back to feed my cats.

After asking questions like this a few times, one day, Rong Lanzhi was arrested and interrogated, and another day, Rong Lanzhi was sent back to his hometown.

From then on, until I gave birth to my daughter and son, I didn't see her again for more than ten years, and she didn't call me again. She came to the capital after the same-sex marriage law came into effect, and Just a quick greeting at the banquet, she passed me by like a stranger.

My husband is also strange, he never explained to me the real reason why Rong Lanzhi was sent back to his hometown, every time I mentioned Rong Lanzhi, he would always angrily say, am I not good enough?Am I not handsome and considerate enough?Do you want to keep thinking about that third party with bad intentions?I... could only be speechless, and after being shocked by Bo's injured expression wearing a cuckold a few times, I stopped asking.

I was thinking idiotically, time will always give me the answer.

As a result, time only gave me a blow to the head.
