Republic of China

Shen Yuezhi handed him the chopsticks, and said patiently: "Eat first, food is the most important thing for the people, and eating is the biggest thing."

He just took the chopsticks, took a few mouthfuls of noodles, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Boss Shen, is your family very harmonious?"

Yue Zhi said while eating: "Fortunately, my father is a warrior who is not at home for a few days all the year round. He always leads soldiers to fight wars. My mother sings operas and grows flowers in her spare time. She lives leisurely and enjoys herself. My aunt takes care of the house. Now I help my elder brother to take care of his sister-in-law and niece, and my elder brother works as a consultant by my father's side, taking care of his daily life, so that I can sing in Beijing with peace of mind." He often greets his elder brother in letters, but It has been several years since he saw his eldest brother face to face. If he has the opportunity this year, he will definitely go back to Fengtian. It would be better if he could see his eldest brother, but it is only natural to be filial to his mother and aunt.

Tong Fulai envied him very much, and couldn't help smiling slightly: "You have been held in the palm of your family since you were a child, and everywhere you go, you shine brightly and attract attention. I am somewhat envious."

Shen Yuezhi put down his chopsticks and said with the corner of his mouth curled up: "Dear boy, how do you know my troubles, people live in this world, who doesn't have troubles, do you think I jumped out of the Three Realms and became a Buddha and a fairy?"

The coachman looked at him blankly and shook his head. He really couldn't think of any troubles for such a character.

Looking at the hazy sky outside the window, Yuezhi said leisurely: "At the beginning when I came to Beijing, my father flatly opposed it, but my aunt and mother both supported it. My father's rap and singing are low-level and he is looked down upon by others. His son must live a decent life." , ha ha... I fell out with him because of this, and ran away from home angrily. If my elder brother hadn't stopped my father, he would have tied me back to Fengtian long ago. Our relationship is still very close. Nervous."

"Oh, that's how it is." Fu Lai nodded. Boss Shen and his father were at odds, and he went to Beijing alone to make a living in order to sing an opera. He admired his courage. He should also be brave enough to face the road ahead, but the most important thing is It's because he still doesn't know which way to go in the future...

Biling's wedding drunk in the bridal chamber

After dinner in the evening, Tong Chunyan called her son to her side. After looking at the child for a long time, she grabbed his hand and said sadly: "Fulai, mother has thought a lot these days, but I still think it's better for you to go to Guangzhou and stay here." Pulling a car in Beijing is not a long-term solution after all.”

But he shook his head violently: "I have to stay with you, I will be where you are."

She caressed her son's rough palm, with loving emotions in her eyes, and gently persuaded: "A man should go out and wander around. What will happen if he guards his parents? Mother knows you are filial, but you have a bright future." It's important, how can mother rest assured that you go alone, mother will accompany you and take care of you."

Fulai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his mother say this, but he couldn't be happy in his heart, because he was about to leave Beijing, and it might be difficult for him to see his master, his wife and the dishonest Boss Shen in the future.

"If you really want me to go to Guangzhou, I'll go." But the smile on his face was a bit helpless, but it was the so-called mother's fate, and it seemed that he would have to stay by his father's side in the future.

Tong Chunyan knew her son's character well, so she asked kindly: "You don't want to part with Master He, teacher wife?"

He nodded silently: "Well...and Boss Shen, he took good care of us."

"Mr. Shen is a good man. He has been taking care of us during this time. You must not forget his kindness, and you must not be ungrateful." She naturally knew that Shen Yuezhi took good care of her son, and she had to ask him before going to Guangzhou. It is good for him to eat a hearty meal, and he will visit him when he returns to Beijing in the future.

Fulai said hastily: "I must not forget Boss Shen's kindness. In two days, I will find a decent place to invite him to drink and eat."

"Okay, mother has money here, you can take some." After speaking, Tong Chunyan took out a red cloth bag from her pillow, which contained dozens of oceans accumulated over the past few years, and she took ten I gave it to my son, and told me: "Have a few drinks with him, and thank you a lot. I will visit Mr. Shen when I come back here."

"Well, I will, don't worry." He carefully put the money into the coarse cloth purse and stuffed it into his pocket.What he was thinking about in his mind was how to say goodbye to Shen Yuezhi, but his heart felt uncomfortable as if he had been severely grabbed by someone, why at this juncture the most difficult thing for him to let go was the one he had just known for a few months Where's the famous actress?

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, Wu Biling's wedding was approaching, and all the friends from the Liyuan business came to attend. On the day of the wedding, the Wu family was more lively than the Chinese New Year, but the groom was in a bad mood. When he got on the green sedan chair to pick up the bride who lived at Caishikou, he didn't show a decent smile a few times.

It took a group of Chuichuidada an hour to arrive at the Sanyanjing Hutong in the north of the city from Nancheng. The guests had already arrived and crowded the not-so-small courtyard. A temporary tent was set up in the courtyard and a stove was burning. All the guests were eating, drinking and chatting in the shed. There were not more than a hundred people who came, and there were already ten people.

The chefs are specially invited from famous restaurants in the capital, and they cook Anhui cuisine, because the Wu family's ancestral home is from Huangshan, Anhui.

Among the guests, there were two young men standing, these were Shen Yuezhi and Tong Fulai, they still came to participate as customers and coachmen.

Seeing the newlyweds bow three times to Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu in the living room, Boss Shen and Fulai whispered to each other, "The bride is very beautiful."

"How do you know?" He didn't know the truth, showing a confused expression, he was obviously covered with a thick hijab.

Yuezhi put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Biling's daughter-in-law, Ms. Liu, is also the daughter of the Liyuan family. I haven't seen any beautiful girls in Liyuan in Beijing?" When he came to Beijing that year, he made a special visit The seniors of almost all the Liyuan families, by the way, admired the eldest daughter who has not left the court, oh, even the younger daughter-in-law, so he naturally knows which family has a beautiful and charming daughter.

Fu Lai looked at him inexplicably and blinked. This guy is indeed a swinger. If Ms. Liu and Boss Wu hadn't been engaged, he might have become the "target" of this person.

"Hehe, I don't mean anything else to her. Ms. Liu is not the kind I like." As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet began. peripheral position.

Boss Shen's theater club took up a table, and the steward Lao Wang, Xiaohui and other actors were talking and drinking, and when they saw the groom coming to toast, they all stood up to greet him.

Wu Biling smiled insincerely, and said to everyone: "Thank you to everyone who came to my wedding today, first of all, please pay respects to Boss Shen, come!" After drinking the glass, he drank the wedding wine in one gulp.

Shen Yuezhi understood his reluctance and reluctance, so he smiled softly, pinched his shoulder lightly and said: "After the joy of being admitted to the imperial examination, my virtuous brother will be a person with family affairs, and I will work with you for my brother in the future." , put on more good shows."

"Thank you, Boss Shen, for taking care of me." But he felt tormented in his heart, and he even raised his eyes to glance at the coachman standing beside him, it seemed that the two of them were having a hot fight, because Shen Yuezhi hadn't slept with him for a long time.He would rather leave the bride in the bridal chamber tonight and have a good time with this person, but that's not possible. He is the only son and has the obligation to continue the incense of the Wu family, otherwise he will be sorry for his parents and two married sisters.

"There's no need to be too polite, we're not outsiders." After Shen Yuezhi finished speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine, clinked glasses with Wu Biling, and drank it down in one gulp.

Tong Fulai looked at the two silently. He always felt that Boss Wu was not willing to get married, because his eyes were stained with a layer of loneliness and helplessness. Could it be that this man loved Boss Shen like a woman favoring a man? ?

After Liyuan Xiaosheng went to another table to toast, Shen Yuezhi sat down with everyone and continued to eat, but he couldn't help staring at Wu Biling's thin back for a long time.

As night fell, the guests dispersed one after another, and Wu Biling was also helped into the bridal chamber by the second sister. He had already drank so much that his feet were weak and he was dizzy.

Ms. Liu, Liu Qinglian hurriedly helped her husband and second sister onto the bed, lifted the hijab and said, "Sister, you go and rest, I'll do it."

Liu Qinglian has a pale complexion, a melon-seeded face, a pair of clear and bright eyes, crescent-like eyebrows, and a small cherry mouth, which has a bit of classical beauty, but her figure is slightly thin and not plump.Because of this, Mrs. Wu is actually not very satisfied with her, and a charming woman is easy to give birth to, but for the sake of the best friends of the two families, she avoided all the old rules of combining horoscopes, so she married Qinglian into her. the door.

The second sister saw that she was very sensible, so she helped her brother take off his shoes, and then said: "Okay, he drank so much today, I'm afraid I will trouble you to take care of him. We will be a family in the future. If there is any difficulty, just talk to the second sister." explain."

"Thank you, Second Sister." Qinglian smiled, covered Bi Ling and sent Second Sister to the door.

After closing the door, she simply took off the hijab, looked at the man lying on the bed and lowered his head shyly, but unexpectedly, she heard her husband mumbled indistinctly with his eyes closed: "Yue Zhi... Have a few more drinks with me, don't leave too early, we agreed..."

She returned to the bed and helped him take off his cotton jacket and outer pants. The smell of alcohol hit her nostrils. She frowned and turned her face away.
