Tang Qianyan

Tang Qianyan didn't know why she would safely lead a stranger into the house, probably because his eyes were so clear that he could see to the bottom, and his undisguised posture was different from many people he had seen.

Tang Qianyan took a sip of tea with a cup, and looked up with some doubts. The person in front of him was clearly dressed as a servant, but his demeanor was calm. He was obviously very hungry, but his food was not vulgar at all.

"What's your name?" Tang Qianyan put down the teacup and asked.

Li Shunming swallowed the food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and then replied: "Li... Ergou"

...but the name is vulgar.

"Ergou... what kind of work are you doing now?"

Li Shunming thought that the profession of being a dandy should not be mentioned, so he answered honestly: "I am not doing work."

Tang Qianyan nodded, no wonder there was no money to eat, she pondered, hesitating whether she should help or not.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Li Shunming held his chopsticks and bowed his head to eat again. The two of them were speechless. In the silence, they suddenly heard a bluff outside the door. ..." Seeing Li Shunming, he hurriedly stopped talking and stared at him.

Li Shunming looked at his bald head a little amused, since the Republic of China, the braid cutting order has been issued for a long time, this man may have just cut the braids and thought the yin and yang heads were too strange, so he shaved all of them.Tang Qianyan said, "It's okay, Rong Fu, you can continue talking."

Rong Fu has been with Tang Qianyan for almost two years, but he has never seen Li Shunming so hot, so he had to look twice before handing a stack of invitations to Tang Qianyan: "Here are the invitations from the wives. , and Boss Zhao asked me to ask if you would like to form a team with him."

Tang Qianyan casually glanced at the invitation, put it on the table and ignored it, and said casually, "I've been idle for a long time..."

Rong Fu thought that he was going to refuse again, and was about to speak persuasively, but unexpectedly heard Tang Qianyan say again: "This time we should."

Rong Fu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly responded: "Hey! Then tell Boss Zhao right now?"

Tang Qianyan nodded: "I'm just a guy, just ask him when he's free."

Rong Fu responded, made a bow, and left, taking an extra glance at Li Shunming before going out.

Adhering to the golden principle of eating more and talking less, Li Shunming ate a full belly while the master and servant were talking, and put down his chopsticks contentedly.

Seeing him like this, Tang Qianyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and asked him: "Ergou, if I go on stage, there will be a shortage of manpower around me, do you want to work by my side?"

Li Shunming was slightly stunned, and replied: "The family probably disagrees..."

If his father found out, he might spend money to buy the whole troupe just to destroy it.

Tang Qian Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that he disliked her humble status as an actor, so she stopped talking.

Li Shunming saw that he was cold and silent again, so he also said wisely: "It's getting late, I have to go back, thank you for your hospitality, if you have the opportunity, you will return it."

Tang Qianyan didn't have much expression on her face, she nodded and didn't get up, she called out to Mama Zhang, who had lit the fire and did the laundry, to take Li Shunming out.

After Li Shunming walked a few steps, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Tang Qianyan. The sky was getting dark, and the light and shadow made him unable to see Tang Qianyan's face clearly.

Li Shunming stepped out of the house and stepped into the courtyard. He was in a daze for a moment. He was in a panic when he came, so he didn't notice that the courtyard was still the same as before.

It's just that things have changed.

Vaguely, he seemed to see someone calling softly under the sycamore tree: "Ming'er." When he looked up again, it seemed that he had traveled through thousands of years, and then returned to the yard, someone came to him from afar. In front of you, sing a wonderful opera and pick up an emerald green jade bracelet.

Li Shunming turned his head for the second time, walked straight to the front of the house and said to Tang Qianyan, "I will repay you."

Tang Qianyan raised her eyes in surprise, and saw the people outside the house against the light, smiling brightly at him like a thousand suns, and said to him: "You wait for me."

After finishing speaking, Li Shunming turned around and walked out of the yard quickly without waiting for Tang Qianyan to speak to him.

Liu Ma looked at the sky uneasily, thinking why the young master hadn't returned, and then heard a soft call: "Liu Ma."

Liu Ma turned her head and saw her young master coming in from the gate of the mansion, she hurriedly went to greet him: "Young master, why did you come back, the master has been waiting in the house for a long time."

"Shh, Mama Liu, please keep your voice down," Li Shunming made a gesture of silence: "I'm going to change clothes, please tell my father that I'll be back."

Zhang Ma, who was already a little old and dazed, paid attention to his attire, sighed a few times, and was about to say a few words to him, but turned to: "Master, you... have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Li Shunming helped her to calm down, said a few words of comfort, and slipped back into the house lightly.

As soon as he put on his cotton robe, Old Zhang, the gatekeeper, came over and called him to the main hall.

"Master is waiting, young master, come with me." Lao Zhang said.

Li Shunming agreed, and followed him through the west wing to the main hall in the north.

The sun near the west outside the courtyard tried to flow into the main hall, but it was blocked by the eaves. The light and shadow were neatly cut into two flat halves, and the half of the room was bright, generally dark.Li Shaoheng was sitting in the dark half, he had a face similar to Li Shunming's, but more powerful, the crushed time whitened his temples with the vicissitudes of life, and wrinkled the corners of his eyes.

"Come here," Li Shaoheng called out, and put a pen into Li Shunming's hand: "See if you like it?"

The pen in his hand has a black body with gold rim and is engraved with complicated German characters. At first glance, he feels that it is very valuable. Li Shunming said pleasantly: "I like it."

Li Shaoheng nodded, and then asked if the money was enough, but he needed to buy more clothes and other trivial matters.

But he didn't ask Li Shunming where he went.

Because Li Shaoheng didn't think it was necessary, his love for Li Shunming had no bottom line, he tried to meet all Li Shunming's demands, and he didn't even care about the criticism of not marrying a wife and taking concubines.Li Shaoheng, who is all-powerful in the business world, worked hard to create a sufficiently prosperous and prosperous environment, and made Li Shunming's promise to live a life of worry-free life.

But Li Shunming has always demanded restraint and has not become a villain. This is probably related to the fact that the woman who accompanied him when he was young was always educated, gentle and elegant.Or maybe it has something to do with Li Shaoheng having no bad habits and being like everyone else.

Fang chatted for a few more words, and Li Shaoheng said: "Just now your uncle asked someone to bring the news that Shun Yu will have a coming-of-age ceremony in a few days, and invited you to his mansion as a guest, will you go?"

"Go." Li Shunming replied.

Li Shaoheng nodded, and the answer was expected: "I will order someone to help you prepare the gift."

"Father, are you going?" Li Shunming asked.

Li Shaoheng shook his head firmly, this reaction was also expected by Li Shunming.

Although the uncle loves him very much, there seems to be an insoluble gap between him and his father.

The uncle often reprimanded Li Shaoheng for being unfilial, and when he mentioned it, his face became sullen; and his own father often scolded Li Shaoheng for being pedantic.The two never had any contact, and even refused to appear on the same occasion.

After so many years, Li Shunming is no stranger to it.
