Si Nian is like a play

eight

Years later, the pear garden was refurbished and expanded, and more people attended the opera.Su Sinian would appear on stage almost every day, but Zhou Moqin hadn't been here for a long time.Su Sinian heard the troupe master's words that seemed casual but had deep meaning, and said indifferently: "It's not surprising, he is so busy, so he comes to the opera every day when he is free. Besides, he doesn't like to listen to operas."

"How can I say this? If Young Marshal Zhou doesn't like to listen to operas, why did he come here so often before?"

"If you listen to it too much, you will naturally get tired of it. If you keep talking about it here, I won't be able to go on stage in time."

When Mr. Yun took the stage, there was still thunderous applause. He has been popular for so many years, but his momentum has not declined at all. There are still people in Nanjing who flock to him and spend a lot of money on him.

For example, Wang Jianbai, who is sitting in the audience now, hasn't come for a long time since he got bored that day.

The familiar private room on the second floor was still empty, and no one dared to sit in Zhou Moqin's absence.After Su Sinian sang, he turned and entered the backstage without a second thought. Rows of flower baskets were neatly placed at his door. For a moment, he thought he had returned to that day again.Wang Jianbai followed him into his dressing room. He didn't like this person coming in and out of his territory, but he just spent money on him, so he didn't feel comfortable chasing him away, so he chose to ignore it.

"Mr. Yun's voice is getting better and better." Wang Jianbai sat down on the wooden bench next to the mirror and stared at Su Sinian.Su Sinian didn't want to remove her makeup in front of him, so she said to Wang Jianbai with a pink face on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the flower basket."

A thank you, plain and without emotion.

Wang Jianbai was not annoyed, he picked up the headdress on his table with a smile and was about to take a closer look, Su Sinian reminded in a bad tone: "Please don't touch my things."

Wang Jianbai glanced at it, playing with taste, "I see that your other headgear is placed casually, but this one is neatly placed. If you care so much, is it a gift from Young Master Zhou?"

Su Sinian was silent, Wang Jianbai continued, his words were already a little frivolous, "At the beginning, I politely brought a gift money to invite Mr. Yun to my house for a concert, but Mr. Yun did not put on a high air and refused Go, why did you run off to be someone else's little white rabbit in a blink of an eye?"

The last sentence made Su Sinian ashamed and indignant. Fortunately, his face was covered with makeup, so he couldn't see anything unusual. He tried his best to calm down, and said coldly: "Mr. Wang's flower basket, Yun accepted it, thank you too , if Mr. Wang talks nonsense again, don't blame Yun for being rude."

"Don't be angry, I just said it casually. I have been listening to it in your Liyuan for several days, and I always feel that it is better to be happy in my own house. I will come again tomorrow to invite Mr. Yun to sing at the church. Please prepare Mr. Yun well." .”

After finishing speaking, he tugged at the hem of his clothes and walked out with his hands behind his back.

A long time after he left, Su Sinian still sat in front of the mirror without moving or taking off his makeup, just staring at the headgear in a daze.It was given to him by Zhou Moqin before the Spring Festival last year, a set of Concubine Yang's headgear, which was very valuable. At that time, he said that he liked seeing Su Sinian dressed as Concubine Yang the most, delicate but not soft, charming but not demonic.Su Sinian naturally liked it too, and after accepting it, in return, he sang a solo verse for him.Su Sinian did not ask him to confirm the conversation that he accidentally heard on New Year's Eve, as if everything was normal, but in the past half a month, Zhou Moqin hadn't set foot in the troupe, so it is inevitable that some people guessed that he, the little white rabbit, was abandoned up.

It seems that the marriage is really settled.Su Sinian thought about it, and pushed the headgear behind the mirror in a fit of anger, out of sight.

The next day, before Su Sinian took the stage, he glanced out from the opened curtain in the backstage. Wang Jianbai came again. When he looked back impatiently, he saw tea and snacks neatly placed on the table in the private room on the second floor. There are guards standing on either side of the table.Su Sinian's eyes lit up, and he finally came.

After taking the stage, he turned his eyes to the second floor as a habit, but this one glance made his feet go soft, and he lost his rhythm for the first time.He immediately withdrew his gaze, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and concentrated on singing, without looking upstairs again.

There are two people sitting in the private room that originally belonged to Zhou Moqin, Zhou Moqin and a woman. Of course, the woman is not Li Qingqing who is married, but a person Su Sinian has never seen before. She has an oval face, slightly curly hair, and is wearing a fashionable dress. , wearing a white hat and gloves, sat next to Zhou Moqin with a sweet smile. It looked like a man and woman, a pair of lovers.

After Su Sinian sang, regardless of the applause from the audience, he quickly turned back into the backstage, and before he could close the door, Wang Jianbai followed him in, blocked the door, and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Yun closing the door? Forgot our agreement yesterday?"

"Have you ever made an agreement with you?" Su Sinian said coldly.

Wang Jianbai didn't seem to care about his attitude, and said with a smile: "That woman is Mr. Wang Zhaoming's niece. The Wang family and the Zhou family are family friends. I'm afraid this marriage has been settled long ago. Why, didn't Young Master Zhou tell you?"

"Who is she has nothing to do with me, please get out."

Wang Jianbai wanted to say more, but he felt someone approaching behind him, and suddenly felt oppressed. Zhou Moqin stood behind him alone, walked past him silently and walked to Su Sinian's side, pretending to be surprised: "What a coincidence, how can I be there every time?" Meet the prince here?"

"Young Marshal doesn't go to accompany the beauty, but instead jokes with Wang. Aren't you afraid that the beauty will be angry?"

"Hasn't Concubine Yang already left the stage? What a beauty." Zhou Moqin laughed.

Before Wang Jianbai had time to argue, Su Sinian said coldly: "If you want to quarrel, please get out, and don't stay crowded in my small broken room."

"What Mr. Yun said is that Mr. Wang is going out now. I think you have a lot to argue with Young Marshal Zhou." Wang Jian had no idea that Su Sinian would attack Zhou Moqin, so he was busy making room for them, thinking that it would be better if he turned his face completely. .

After Wang Jianbai went out, Zhou Moqin was about to walk up to Su Sinian, but Su Sinian said: "Young Commander Zhou, please go out too, Yun is going to take off his makeup."

When Zhou Moqin heard that he called Young Marshal Zhou, he knew something was wrong, so he took a few steps and explained: "That's Uncle Wang's niece. I just went abroad to pick her up, and she insisted on coming with me to listen to your opera." He As he spoke, he was about to reach out to help Su Sinian take off the headdress, but Su Sinian turned his head slightly to avoid him, without even looking at him, and said calmly, "Young Master Zhou, if you don't want to leave, then I'll go." Putting the headgear on the table, she went out without changing her costume.

In the next few days, Zhou Moqin saw no one. He went to the Su Mansion to look for him, but was told by the maid that he was in the Liyuan. When he went to the Liyuan, he was told to go out. Finally, he was able to see him on stage. There was no one in the background.In the end, Zhou Shaoshuai took over the place in Liyuan in a fit of anger.

Su Sinian looked at the empty garden where only one person was sitting, and sang on the stage without changing his face. Three steps and two steps to the stage to stop him.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape today, Su Sinian thought it would be good to explain it clearly to him, so he replied: "I'm an opera singer, and I don't want to cause you unnecessary trouble before you get married. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want to give you trouble I got myself into trouble, so it's better for us to distance ourselves."

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense, I'm not getting married." Zhou Moqin hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, you are going to get married sooner or later." Su Sinian smiled, "From the day I chose to believe in you, I have already prepared to face this kind of thing. We were all happy in the previous days But, it's worth it. You can prepare for the marriage with peace of mind, and I will never pester you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Moqin pressed the back of his head and kissed him.Su Sinian still had makeup on his face, and it was all on Zhou Moqin's face at this moment. Zhou Moqin licked the powder on his mouth with his tongue, swallowed it regardless of whether it was edible, and then sucked his lips hard. valve.Su Sinian accepted the kiss quietly, with fog in her eyes.Zhou Moqin hugged him, leaned close to his ear and said, "You don't pester me, but I want to pester you."

"Father Marshal made an appointment for me, the girl you saw that day, but I refused. Miss Wang has been studying abroad for many years, and now she is not happy to be told that she is engaged when she returns home, so I told her About our business, she was clamoring to see you, so I brought her here. Si Nian, when we first met, I never thought that I would like you so much, but gradually I feel that I can't do without you more and more , Maybe we can't get married, but I will definitely not marry someone else, we will be together like this for the rest of our lives, okay?"

"If you say something like this twice in your life, it won't be credible." Suss smiled young, looked him in the eyes, and paused, "But if you say it, I will believe it."

The news that Zhou Moqin was entangled with the actor again soon reached the ears of Marshal Zhou. He was so angry that he slapped those small newspapers on the table, his eyes were wide open, and his beard was blown up.

"Housekeeper! Tell someone to bring that stinky boy back to me! It's against him!"

He used to choose to turn a blind eye to it, just thinking that he was such a son, and he would let him play if he wanted to, as long as it wasn't too extreme.But now, he has messed up such an important marriage for him, how can he not be angry.

"You bastard, you are really getting stronger and stronger. You don't listen to what I say?"

Zhou Da handsomely scolded his son who was sitting opposite, while Zhou Moqin always maintained a sitting posture like a bell, accepted his father's scolding, and showed the fact that he was a bastard with a correct attitude.

"Do you know how long I've been discussing with your Uncle Wang about this marriage? It's not that you don't know his status, so you just act like that! What is that actor! He's still a man! Can he compare with Miss Wang?"

"Father, please don't speak of him in a disparaging tone, he is my lover."

"Lover? Hahahaha!" Dashuai Zhou seemed to have heard something funny, "I'll give you two choices, either break up with that actor and marry Ms. Wang properly, or get the hell out of here in Shanghai!"

Everyone knows the current situation in Shanghai, but only Zhou Moqin knows what Zhou Dashuai has in mind.In fact, Marshal Zhou had long wanted to let Zhou Moqin go to Shanghai. He needed someone in Shanghai to keep in touch with the Japanese and keep abreast of their movements.Just thinking that he is the only son, this dangerous job is not afraid of [-], just in case, and now he is impatient to make such a choice.

"I'm going to Shanghai." Zhou Moqin said without hesitation.

"You!" Zhou Dashuai was so angry, "Okay, you go! Don't expect me to arrange anything for you!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves and beard.
