The singer of the entertainment circle is not a human being

Chengdu in 1928

It is rumored that there are eight alleys in the capital where the whole night is full of fun, and this Rongcheng is also used as the four major flower streets for men to have fun. No matter how chaotic the outside world is, the nephrite jade and wine will never stop for a moment, and the blue sky is full of prostitution and play, which sets off the capital of brocade officials. It's not easy.

Speaking of Rongcheng Flower Street, one has to go to the jacquard archway area, the ten-mile long corridor, Jiaoer Luoqi, countless buildings where the moon and the wind are played every night, cuddling with fragrance and jade, and since the introduction of blessings into the city, some seven-foot men Playing tricks into a drunkard who only knows wine and meat.

In the Huapaifang, the pheasant hall and the three halls are scattered all over the place. The most worth mentioning is the Litang Garden in the east corner. It is not true that the girls in this garden are so beautiful, but here is the only Beijing opera in Chengdu. In the garden, the head of the opening troupe is even a famous actor who learned from a young age. In the evening, when he returns home, he will continue to pass on the mantle of the Liyuan team.

Although it is still a low-class place, dignitaries and dignitaries prefer to come here to drink tea and enjoy music, spying on the three-foot stage where Qingyi and Huadan are competing for beauty and playing tricks. Come to the solo hall in the house, enjoy the soft voice and kneel on your knees, it is really a joy in the world.

On this day, the Liyuan Hall was full of guests and guests, just as they heard that Xindan was going to make her debut on stage today, and even the townspeople gathered at the hall and stretched their necks to catch a glimpse of it.

"Young Master Xue, you are here. Please come inside quickly. The best seat is reserved for you."

"En." Xue Shaoqing was dressed in a Shu brocade robe, with a thousand layers of gold silk cloth shoes on his feet, and an emerald double fish ring buckle on his waist.After nodding slightly to the waiter, he strode into the center of the hall and walked straight to the first three rows of VIP seats.

When the nobleman was seated, the servant immediately served a cup of hot tea and said flatteringly: "Master, our family's new dancer is on stage today, singing exactly your favorite song "Peach Blossom Fan". Tune in, you can wait patiently for a while, and you will be able to see it in half a moment."

"Well, there are two servings of snacks in the old rules, and the flower basket will be sent backstage, as a pre-congratulations to the newcomer, hurry up." He casually waved his hand and told the waiter, Xue Shaoqing opened the ivory folding fan, and it swayed lightly on his chest, his expression was naturally suave.

"Come on, then you can have some tea and rest for a while, and I'll go to make some orders. If you have any other orders, I will send them at any time." After the young man bowed and responded, he immediately rushed to the backyard to prepare the ingredients.

All kinds of spectators stepped into the hall of the Litang Garden one after another. Those with sharp eyes saw the man in the front row, who was dressed in fine clothes, hurriedly walked over to greet him, and called out: "Master Xue".

Xue Shaoqing always had an elegant, gentle and handsome smile, no matter who greeted him, he waved his hands to signal, although he could never put on airs, he showed his elegance and extraordinary temperament.

Among the many miles of Rongcheng, if you talk about rich and powerful businessmen, Xue Mansion in the east of the city dares to be the second, and no one dares to be the first. In the downfall, the descendants of the Xue family were involved in everything from wine farming to farming. Even when talking about Jinguan Commercial Firm in the capital, they had to give the Xue mansion a little bit of disrespect.

In the tenth year of the Republic of China, the old man of the Xue family had a recurrence of lung disease and died violently in the house. There were few males under his knees. When he died, only Xue Shaoqing, a 15-year-old son, was left alone with his wife.

When the Xue family was in decline, who knew that the young master who was born in the first place was indeed a dragon and phoenix among the people. He was literate at the age of 3 and recited poems at the age of 5. At the age of 12, he had already mastered the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. I am afraid that it can also display its ambitions in the empire on which the sun never sets.

After taking over the family business, Xue Shaoqing has perfected all the textiles and spices in the rice fields. Within two years, he doubled his business revenue and expanded overseas foreign goods into Chengdu for monopoly sales.This act made the elders of the clan who had bullied the young feel inferior, and sincerely convinced Xue Shaoqing to be the master with all the heavy responsibilities.

But in today's world, whose son has never been a fan of the wind, flowers, snow, moon, paper and gold, Huapaifang Street is also indispensable to the rumors of Xue Dashao, who doesn't want to be favored by Goulan girls for a night, if Sansheng is lucky enough to serve her comfortably and unforgettablely, if it is not good, you can enter Xue The mansion is the aunt in the backyard.

But Xue Shaoqing is quite clear, there is not a single leaf in the flowers, and she is over 22 years old, but she has not yet married a wife and a half concubine.

In the middle of winter, the drums on the stage were beating, and the young stars of Huadan appeared on the stage. The "Peach Blossom Fan" kicked off with a loud and loud scene, and the audience in Litang Garden immediately applauded. The whole picture of the new character.

I saw Huadan dressed up as Li Xiangjun, wearing elegant and colorful embroidered moonlight camellia scattered branch women's pleats, stepping on colorful silk embroidered shoes, swaying and drooping in small steps, and the silver tassels on both sides of the head are also dancing alone, Although it is covered with heavy makeup, it can be vaguely seen that its face is like a peach blossom, with a head and moth eyebrows, and a pair of narrow and watery eyes are very attractive.

The vermilion lips of the Danjiao are lightly opened, and the voice is melodious and melodious, like a gurgling mountain stream that slowly enters the mind, and the words are melancholy and melancholy, and the words are intoxicated: "It turns out that there are so many purples and reds in bloom, and it seems like this. Homeyard."

For a moment, the hall was silent, and the three thousand spectators in the audience seemed to have been tempted to lose their souls. The melodious sounds of the three-foot stage lingered on the beams, and there were bursts of sorrow like Daiyu watching the moon and mourning, burying flowers and falling tears.

Xue Shaoqing folded his fan leisurely in front of his chest, his eyes slightly closed as if entering a fairyland, and he waited for a long time until the end of the song, as if returning to the mundane world, lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "It really is a peerless beauty, with unparalleled beauty." When the Jinling fan in his hand was closed, he Tilting his head to the little boy, he said: "It's reasonable to reward, but we just sent a flower basket to the backstage. It would seem cliché to send the ocean now. Why don't you send the new pair of ice jadeite jade bangles, beautiful jade and beautiful women are suitable. .”

The little boy was shocked after hearing this, and quickly leaned over to dissuade him: "Young master, that bracelet is a rare treasure. The shopkeeper of the jewelry store at home spent a lot of effort to find such a piece this time. This actor is not a character, even if it is Well, he might not be able to bear this thing."

The entourage's words were vulgar, but Xue Shaoqing waved his hands indifferently as if it didn't affect him, sipped his tea and said, "It's okay, money is something external to you, since you have met the right owner, giving it is also considered fate."

The little boy grumbled distressedly, but he didn't refute the young master's face any more. After responding, he hurried to Xue's jewelry store to take out the imperial concubine bracelet and send it to Litangyuan.

The class leader took the brocade box, his hands trembling uncomfortably, and tremblingly asked Master Xue several times if he had any other orders. Ladies, from now on, the new actors are good at singing, don't disappoint my young master's kindness."

"Zi Shi, Zi Shi." The class leader buried his head very low, nodded his head as if smashing garlic, rolled up his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, bowed several times, and sent the Xue family boy away tremblingly.

Heaving a sigh of relief, the head teacher turned around and looked at Xin Huadan who was taking off her make-up with complicated eyes, frowned and sighed helplessly: "Wash up and dress dignifiedly, follow me to Xue's mansion at night."

The young man wiped off the heavy makeup on his face, revealing a pair of narrow and bright eyes. He stared at the old class leader in doubt, his heart turned a thousand times, but finally his red lips trembled slightly and he said: "Yes, Master."
