The Republic of China. A Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies

As soon as Fang Lian went out, she stuffed a big ocean into Mammy's hand, and said with a smile, "You wait for me at the teahouse in front, and I'll be back around nine o'clock."

The new nanny is in her forties. There are three children in the family and she needs money very much, so she will help the young lady even at the risk. She knows that Fang Lian must be looking for Mr. Yu, but there seems to be no meeting between the two of them. For that sake, it is probably just wishful thinking of the young lady.

Fang Lian got into a foreign car, and went directly to the yard where Zai Yu lived. A few years ago, in order to subsidize the family, Zai Yu rented out the backyard, and because of this, he had to sell the carriage and his beloved horse. She was so distressed that she couldn't sleep well for several nights. She loves Zaiyu not only because he is kind-hearted, but also because he has a sense of responsibility. She returned all the "employment issued by the small court" and told the young "emperor" that he can support himself , Let Long Live God use the money where it is more needed, but this has been strongly opposed by his wife Ulan.

In the past few years, Zai Yu has not been happy!

Fang Lian took a car to the gate of the courtyard where Zai Yu lived, just in time to see Zai Yan with a yellow face and muscles coming out of it.

"Isn't this little Furong, who came to look for my younger brother?" Zaiyan came out to hide, because the couple quarreled again, and every time they quarreled, Ulan would point fingers and scold Huai, always thinking of herself as the reason for "war".

"Well, please call him out, I won't go in." She had never entered Zai Yu's house because there was a tigress living there.

"I'm going out for a walk, I guess he will come out soon." He smiled shyly, and could see that the girl's thoughts were all on her younger brother, but his younger brother always pushed her away.

Fang Lian blinked her eyes and said, "Are you going to the smokehouse again?"

"Occasionally... I would take a couple of puffs." He showed his yellow teeth and walked past the girl with a hunchback. Now that he is old, he doesn't care about seeing beautiful women. .

Fang Lian shook her head, thinking that this person was very pathetic, like a "garbage" that had lost its use value and was kicked out by her family. Who else could take in such a person except Renyi's younger brother Zaiyu?

Sure enough, after a while, Zai Yu pushed open the courtyard door and came out, holding a cigarette in his hand, standing dejectedly under the pagoda tree beside the door, smoking. When he saw Fanglian standing at the entrance of the alley, he smiled and waved He waved his hand and walked towards her gracefully.

"Why come out so late, let's go, I'll treat you to tea." He said softly, and he and Fang Lian walked out of the alley to a teahouse near Xisi. The two sat down by the window, It's warmer next to the stove.

Fang Lian leaned over to warm herself by the fire and asked, "Have you quarreled with Madam again?"

"Can she stop without arguing?" He poured scented tea for Fang Lian, drank a few sips, and put out the cigarette before entering the door, so as not to smoke into the girl's house.

"What's the reason this time?" She asked, Ulan and Yu Gongye quarreled mostly because of money, or because of Zaiyan.

"When she saw that I had given money to my elder brother, she fired at me, saying that she asked my elder brother to smoke big cigarettes again, and then poured out all the old sesame seeds and rotten millet, which happened every time." He was annoyed. After seeing the current life, but he didn't have enough courage to call it quits, because ending all of this would require paying a heavy price. Divorce would cause him to lose half of his real estate, or even more. As for the fact that Ulan would not have children, I can't explain clearly, what if someone bites back and says that I am cold?

Fang Lian turned to look at him, was silent for a while, and then asked softly: "Then do you know why I came to you so late?"

He shook his head, but Fang Lian did seem to have something on her mind, her brows were furrowed.

"My father wants to match Pu Ying and me. Is he your nephew?" She asked tentatively, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

Zaiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Yes, Puying is a good young man. If you can be together, you will be very happy in the future. After all, you have reached the age of marriage." It's time to get married, but because I like to sing, I have been supporting it all the time. I'm afraid I can't drag it on now.

She lowered her head and said sullenly: "Don't you feel anything at all? Over the past few years, we have been getting along, and you always

Treat me like a child, I'm already a big girl, is it interesting to go on like this, don't you like me at all? "She felt that Zaiyu actually had a heart for her, but because of family affairs and couldn't let go of her past life Furong, she kept avoiding this relationship.

Zai Yu smiled bitterly: "Look at what you said, how dare I think about you, you are only 21, and I am almost 37, I can be your uncle, how is it possible..."

"Then what have I been waiting for all these years? Have you forgotten our agreement?" Fang Lian asked with tears in her eyes, and she planned to tell everything tonight.

Zai Yu stared at her dully, not knowing what to say.

"In the next life, I will be your wife and give birth to you. This is our agreement. Have you forgotten?" She shed tears after she finished speaking. When she took her last breath in the previous life, the only thing in her mind was With this man, the oath to be a husband and wife with them must be God's favor for her, which gave her a chance to be a new person, and came alive in Fang Lian's body.

Zaiyu was dumbfounded. He didn't remember telling Fanglian about his love history with Furong. Although he had mentioned before that an actor's confidant passed away many years ago to save himself after being attacked by thieves, he never told anyone about it. Live the thing of "being a husband and wife in the next life".

"After I died in your arms, I somehow became Fanglian. When I woke up, I was rescued from the river and turned into a little girl. I felt panic and joy because... I could Fulfilling my promise, I can marry you. Didn’t you also say that my singing voice and posture are very similar to Furong, and we were originally one person.” She said while crying, and finally finished speaking. Gu Deshang took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. She has been a daughter's family for more than ten years. She has forgotten that she was once a man, because she is no longer Sun Furong, but Wu Fanglian.

Zai Yu stared blankly at the beauty on the opposite side, completely speechless, and his mind was in a mess. He was assuming the possibility of such a thing, but the demeanor and singing of the two were exactly the same, even when he helped Fu Rong in the past. Fang Lian also learned the plays he had written only once. At that time, he just thought that the child had an amazing memory, but now he understands that she has never forgotten that she was able to sing Tsing Yi at the age of 16. At least, Fang Lian has become one of the best actresses by virtue of her extraordinary talent to the top of the Liyuan stage.

"Idiot, if I don't tell you, will you only be friends with me for the rest of your life?" She wiped away her tears and turned her head, trying to calm down the excitement. Although there were no other customers in the huge teahouse, the waiter was squatting at the counter far away. Looking at them from afar.

Zai Yu's hands trembled slightly. In order not to let her see it, he had to hide under the table and pinched his kneecap hard. He said flatly: "You must have sung too much, and you have already gotten into the drama. Let's do it again." It's not "Nie Xiaoqian", go back early and rest, don't you want to be on stage tomorrow?"

Now, Little Furong was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Mr. Yu to refute the words easily, saying that she was too involved in the drama. She was so disappointed that she shed tears again. After waiting for 14 years, she got With this kind of result, who can accept it?She closed the lotus root pink coat, got up and walked out of the teahouse quickly, just wanting to find a place to cry happily...

"I'll see you off!" Zai Yu hurriedly paid the tea money and chased him out.

The beauty ran in front, and he chased after him hard. He finally caught up with Fang Lian at the corner of the street, and said out of breath, "Take the rickshaw, I'll take you back, don't wander around in the middle of the night, the girl's house is not safe. "

"You can control it, even if I find a random man now, it has nothing to do with you, right?" She shook off Zai Yu's hand holding her arm, and wiped her tears angrily.

"It has nothing to do with me... But girls, you should pay attention to your reputation, otherwise how will you marry in the future?" He knew she was talking angry, but he was a man with no money, no power, no face, and no youth, There is also a wife, who can't bring Fanglian any benefits except trouble, and can't give her a good life.

Perhaps, Furong is Fanglian, but why should he fulfill this promise? Does he have the ability and qualifications?The fact is that Furong is no longer in this world, only Fanglian exists now, she is a 21-year-old young girl, she should have a good-looking man of the same age as a lifelong partner, instead of wasting her youthful years on this old man on the man.

"I'm a low-level actor, and no one cares about my chastity." She said self-destructively. Although the Republic of China and the status of actors have improved, they are still looked down upon by the world. Only this man really cares about his own feelings. He also fought a duel because of this, and almost died.

Zai Yu frowned and said, "I care!" But as soon as he said that, he regretted it, so what if he cared?

Fang Lian turned from sadness to joy, and immediately grabbed Zai Yu's arm and tipped her toes, and kissed her beloved man passionately just like before.

This way of kissing made Zai Yu immediately remember Furong. He was not shy, and the frank and passionate kiss was indeed Furong's feeling. He couldn't help closing his eyes, and hugged her into his arms. A way to comfort the pain of lovesickness over the years!

But when he opened his eyes, what he saw was a young girl, as lovely as a flower, who had never been defiled by any man, pure and beautiful!

Fang Lian hugged his neck and said delicately: "You smoke too much, I won't kiss next time."

Zaiyu asked with tears in his eyes: "It's really you who came back, Furong...I can't believe it, could it be that I'm still in a dream?" Although she couldn't accept Fanglian intellectually, the longing for her beloved Furong made her feel so sad. He couldn't help himself.

"You can touch me and hear my voice. It's really easy to tell the truth. I hope you don't let me down." She was still a little uneasy, because Zai Yu obviously didn't make up her mind to accept her new self.

"What can I give you? You are old, have no money, and have a wife. You are as beautiful as a flower, and you are young and beautiful. You should be a good match with a young man like Pu Ying." When he said this, his talent Gradually calm down and see the reality clearly.
