Tang Qianyan

On a certain day in April, there was a lot of people outside the Chengyin Theater. At this time, Zhao Yuhua's troupe was already well-known in the huge Beijing, and today's performance was "The Drunken Concubine".

In 1915, during the First World War, the national industry was developing rapidly. Li Shaoheng saw the opportunity for the rise, so he naturally started to transform. He raised funds to set up a textile factory.

Li Shunming would come to the theater building if he had nothing to do after leaving school. He was used to sitting in the front row, and the noise of the surrounding people did not affect him at all to open the new issue of the magazine.

New country, new world, new era, these words often make Li Shunming feel uneasy, but feel far away.

Changes are undoubtedly changing with each passing day, but if you are really in it, it is easy to become numb.

There are also constants.

Li Shunming closed the book, waiting for the show to begin.

Just like Tang Qianyan’s every frown and smile on the stage, every step and every form will probably be permanently fixed in this ancient theater building, let the spectators come and go, let the time pass like a white horse, let the play The building became dilapidated under the obliteration of wind and rain, and those lingering dramas will never change.

But will be forgotten.

When the last person who remembers all of this dies, these are completely gone, but they remain eternal in the disappearance.

Li Shunling was sitting in the private room on the second floor, and she had a panoramic view of the scene below the stage. When she saw Li Shunming, she was a little surprised, so she ordered the servant to go down and ask Shunming to come up.

The boy went downstairs and came to Li Shunming and said a few words, Li Shunming looked up to the second floor, smiled when he saw Shunling, turned around and said a few words to the boy, and the boy went up alone again upstairs.

"Back to Madam, the second master doesn't want to come up." The boy said.

When Li Shunming was in his uncle's house, he ranked third among Shun's peers, so he was often called the third young master, but outside, because Li Shaoheng was called the second master Li, he was often called the second master.

Shun Ling asked, "Why didn't you come up?"

The boy said: "Young Master didn't say anything, but he did say that he would come to see his wife after the show is over."

Shun Ling nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, the play began.Tang Qianyan came out to greet the curtain, and immediately looked for Li Shunming. Only when he saw someone sitting in the front row did he feel at ease, and this scene sang very well.

Li Shunming listened carefully in the audience, he never asked Tang Qianyan if he wanted to become a famous actor, because the answer was already obvious.

With such a figure and such an appearance, if he didn't make a horn, he would feel sorry for it.

Sometimes he doesn't understand why he wants to befriend Tang Qianyan so much, he is still concealing his identity as the young master even now.

He should be in admiration of Tang Qianyan's appearance, Li Shunming looked at Tang Qianyan dressed up as the graceful and luxurious Yang Yuhuan on the stage, looked back and smiled at Bai Meisheng, so beautiful that Liugong Fendai had no color.

He is different from all his other friends, he has not been stained with the color of the new era, no democracy, no republic, no western system seems to have anything to do with him, he is just standing on the stage, singing Ancient operas, performing ancient stories.

Li Shunming felt that Tang Qianyan was something that he couldn't get, although he was within reach.

He didn't understand why he wanted him.

The play was over, and Tang Qianyan thanked the audience three times before leaving. Zhao Yuhua greeted her and said, "Qianyan, you performed quite well today."

Tang Qianyan smiled, but didn't answer, and went to the mirror to remove the paint.

Zhao Yuhua said again: "Now I finally know which master of the Li family is supporting you. You can see him in the last few scenes."

Tang Qianyan asked casually, "Which one?"

"Why do you still ask me, didn't you see you talking a few words before?" Zhao Yuhua was a little puzzled: "Li Shunming, the second master of the Li family."

Tang Qianyan was almost completely unfamiliar with this name: "Why don't I have any impression?"

"Hey, that's the one sitting at three tables in a row today." Zhao Yuhua said.

Tang Qianyan's hand trembled almost imperceptibly, and she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

That's where the second dog sits.

If he is really the young master of the Li family, then everything makes sense.

But why did he hide it from himself?

When Li Shunling stepped down slowly to the second floor of the theater building, Li Shunming was waiting for her at the stairs. The crowd had not completely subsided, and people walked past Li Shunming from time to time.

"Second Sister." Li Shunming smiled lightly.

Li Shunling nodded reservedly, her makeup concealed a little tiredness, she married a woman early, and she didn't have much contact with Shunming, and her boudoir's reservedness made her only understand the old-fashioned husband and child, and she didn't know how to behave in the world, and she didn't understand romance. So much so that now she didn't know how to ask Li Shunming if he was chasing actors.

Thinking of this, Li Shunling couldn't help but sighed, Qi Zhuchun just said to Li Shunming: "Give uncle my regards."

Seeing Li Shunming nodded, Li Shunling said again: "Since we've finished listening to the play, you can go to the restaurant with me for dinner."

"Don't bother Second Sister, I have an appointment." Li Shunming replied.

"Well, who is the date?" Li Shunling asked, her eyes flickering slightly, for fear that Shunming was talking about a low-level person that she didn't want to hear.

"Student," Li Shunming continued to smile, "We need to discuss some school activities."

Li Shunling breathed a sigh of relief: "You go, I'll go back first."

"Okay," Li Shunming said, "see you later."

Li Shunling nodded and turned to leave. Li Shunming watched her leave.

The crowd gradually faded away, Li Shunming turned around and saw Tang Qianyan standing not far away.

Tang Qianyan's forehead hair was wet, it should be the make-up on his face just after washing, water droplets slowly slipped from the tip of his hair along his fair face.

"Who was that person just now?" Tang Qianyan asked.

Li Shunming greeted him and replied, "That's my second sister."

Is it really so, Tang Qianyan felt a little lonely.

He thought that the person he fell in love with was a young man who was working for a living, and he could empathize with him in the same class, but now, he couldn't understand him anymore.

"If the second miss of the Li family is your second sister, then what should I call you?" Tang Qianyan asked softly and slowly, "Third young master? Or young second master?"

Li Shunming stopped walking only three steps away from Tangqianyan, his eyes were full of complex expressions.

It was only such a short distance of three steps, but Tang Qianyan's heart tightened. He slowly clenched his hands and pursed his lips.

Then there was an unbearable silence.

Tang Qianyan waited for a long time, then spoke again with almost difficulty: "Aren't you even going to give an explanation?"

Li Shunming looked at him and said, "What do you want me to explain, I am indeed just a playboy..."

Is he playing with himself?Tang Qianyan lowered her eyes, turned around and left.

Li Shunming suddenly called out: "Tangqianyan."

Tang Qianyan's heart tightened, and he stopped. This was the first time he heard Li Shunming call his full name.

"Are you concerned about my identity?" Li Shunming asked, "Or do you mind that I deceived you?"

"I..." Tang Qianyan paused and said, "I don't understand either."

Li Shunming didn't speak any more, Tang Qianyan walked away.

Li Shunming watched Tang Qianyan go away, he was a little annoyed by the deserted back, he rubbed his forehead, turned around, and stepped out of the theater building.

Tang Qianyan turned around at this moment, and as far as her eyes could see, only the back of Li Shunming stepped out of the theater building.
