Si Nian is like a play

land

In the afternoon, the scorching sun gradually set in the west, and the temperature remained the same. There were far fewer people hanging out on the streets of Nanjing. Those young ladies with golden branches and jade leaves were afraid that the sun would burn their delicate skin.Although there were fewer people listening to the opera, the list of performances for that night was posted early at the gate of the Liyuan. Yun Zisu will not be on stage today.

But the background was a rare dignified atmosphere, the little actors who were busy practicing kung fu held their breath and dared not approach Yun Zisu's dressing room, and a few bold ones sneaked over to try to understand.Suddenly, the sound of the teacup being slammed on the ground caused them to retreat again and again, and a very stern scolding came from behind the door.

"Your Majesty!"

Ah Bao knelt down in response, with his head down, trembling and afraid to speak.Su Sinian became anxious, picked up another teacup and was about to throw it at his face, lifted it up in the air and put it down hard, smashing it on the table.

"How do I teach you on weekdays? Did I teach you to deliver goods to your door? You are really getting better and better."

When Zhou Moqin euphemistically mentioned what happened that night to him, Su Sinian obviously didn't believe it. In his heart, Abao was just a naughty kid, but Zhou Moqin's eyes didn't seem to be joking, and he wouldn't take this kind of Just kidding.So, he tentatively asked Ah Bao, but unexpectedly, he apologized repeatedly, saying that he knew he was wrong.

At that moment, Su Sinian's heart went cold.He dragged Abao back to his dressing room, closed the door, and slapped him hard. The corner of Abao's mouth was broken, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.Su Sinian looked at him, unable to say a word for a long time.The reason why he was so angry was not because the person Ah Bao provoked was Zhou Moqin, but because of his vanity that covets wealth and wealth and tries to reach the sky in one step.Before his death, the master handed over his only son to him. He has always loved him as his own younger brother, wishing to devote everything to teaching him how to sing and be a man. gas.

"Senior brother, don't be angry, I know I was wrong, and I will never go to see Young Master Zhou again." Ah Bao sobbed.

It seemed that he still didn't know what was wrong, Su Sinian suddenly didn't know how to scold him, his hot heart was poured with cold water, and white smoke was rising.He still remembers that in Jinan when he was a child, Abao, who was only three years old at that time, followed him forever like a little shadow. When he was practicing, he would babble and learn his tongue. When he was resting, he would pester him to climb trees. Picking wild fruits, when someone teased him that he looked like a little girl, the little Abao knew how to pick up stones to protect him.I never thought that the innocent child at that time would gradually become utilitarian after being ruthlessly crushed by the troubled times. He was only 13 years old.

"Did you think that if you climbed into those people's beds, you could reach the sky in one step?" Su Sinian asked.

A Bao hung his head and did not answer, Su Sinian sneered, "Who do you think they are, or have you forgotten who you are?"

"You are a person first, a man second, and an actor last. No matter what, you can't be a plaything."

"Then...Senior brother, why are you..." A Bao said hesitantly.

"Why me? When you get to my position, come and ask me why. Bao, you have the desire to climb up, so you might as well use it to practice more. If you think that the so-called big men can bring you glory and wealth, then that's too much." Ridiculous."

Ah Bao didn't speak, just lowered his head and listened.Seemingly tired, Su Sinian leaned back on the chair weakly, made a gesture of pushing hands towards Abao, and said, "Go, don't come to me again if you have nothing to do, and learn the principles of life from the old class leader." , I can't teach you anymore."

Ah Bao still wanted to explain something, but he didn't dare to say anything, and exited cautiously.Pairs of probing eyes outside the door immediately looked at him. He lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and ran out.

He understands his senior brother's temper. Although he is usually arrogant, he has never been so angry. Thinking about it this time, he really won't forgive himself. Then his life in this Liyuan may not be as good as before.He just couldn't figure out why he couldn't do what his senior brother could do.

Su Sinian locked himself in the room and didn't make a sound for a long time, and didn't turn on the lights when night fell. He looked at the delicate face in the mirror, savoring the taste of betrayal.From the beginning when he came to Nanjing with his master, the word "betrayal" was always with him. When he was not famous, he was squeezed out and targeted by the seniors of Liyuan. He dealt with all these one by one, became a celebrity sought after by thousands of people, and used all means to torture their perpetrators to death.Every time I think about that time, it still terrifies me.After going through a lot of changes, the people left in Liyuan now dare not lay hands on him.It's just that he didn't expect that in the end, his favorite junior would betray him.

So far, he has no close relatives around him, and this kind of loneliness makes the arrogant him taste the frustration for the first time.

Zhou Moqin came under the moonlight, and before he could change out of his military uniform, he pushed open the door, saw his lover sitting alone in front of the mirror, couldn't help feeling distressed, walked over and gently took his hand, and said softly, "Let's go, let's go home."

"Zhou Moqin, I have no friends, and now I don't even have a younger brother." In the dark, Su Sinian said flatly.

Zhou Moqin held his hand tightly, "You still have me."

"How long can a person's heart be pure, you may not know, my hands are also covered with blood." The scenes of him taking revenge on those people flashed one by one. He changed from a simple person to a vengeful person. People change.

"I know, with me here, I will never let you get any more blood."

Su Sinian didn't speak, and leaned his head lightly on Zhou Moqin's shoulder, feeling the temperature of his body through time. The cotton and linen military uniform caressed his forehead roughly, so reassuring.For some reason, he is always willing to believe in him, as if with him, those once hopeless things become hopeful.

"Zhou Moqin, can you promise that I will not deceive each other in my life?"

"I promise you that you will not deceive each other in your life."

late summer.Miss Li's wedding was grandly held in Ouyang Mansion.

Su Sinian put on a well-groomed gown, hailed a car, and went to congratulate him alone. Zhou Moqin drove behind him and entered the wedding banquet hall. Many people had already arrived. As far as the eye could see, they were all dressed in western clothes, with noble status.Su Sinian was not timid in the slightest. He took a glass of wine and took a table with few people. Zhou Moqin wanted to come and accompany him, but he was entangled by several nobles and couldn't get away. Some rich ladies recognized Su Sinian, He leaned close to him and greeted him.

Su Sinian had his own way of dealing with girls. The gentleman was elegant and not frivolous. The girls were so teased that they laughed coquettishly. Zhou Moqin looked in the direction of Su Sinian while chatting with others. The brows were almost knotted, it was simply too indecent.

After the ceremony, the banquet turned into a reception. Susnian was about to go back first, but the bride in a gown walked up to him gracefully and thanked him.Seeing her inauthentic smile, Su Sinian waited quietly for her next words. Sure enough, Li Qingqing pointed to a few people in suits and leather shoes not far away and said, "That's Uncle Wang, that's Uncle Zhou, and that The one next to him is Japanese. Mr. Yun, the Zhou family has a complicated relationship, and Mo Qin is not that simple. I want to advise you not to take some things too seriously, so as not to be able to escape unscathed in the end."

Su Sinian raised his wine glass with a smile and raised it to her, "Thank you, Miss Li, for your concern. I wish you a happy wedding."

As soon as the words were finished, a wine glass reached out to touch Li Qingqing's, Zhou Moqin stood behind Si Nian, and said with a smile: "The little girl who always loved to follow me in the past got married in a blink of an eye, you need to be more restrained in the future , if that boy Ouyang bullies you, just tell me, and I will send troops to arrest him."

Li Qingqing lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness in his eyes, took a sip of wine sullenly, and said, "Forget it, I just hope you won't regret it."

On the way back to the car, Su Sinian was a little drunk. He leaned against the back seat of the car, and the person beside him held his hand and stroked his palm. Looking at the receding scenery outside the window in a more comfortable posture, he asked, "Will there be war in Nanjing...?"

Shaking his hand vigorously as if being comforted, Zhou Moqin replied, "Don't worry."

Su Sinian didn't ask any more questions, leaned on the seat, and gradually fell asleep.

Outside the car window, the moon is rising, the cool breeze is coming, and Bai Lu is born.
