The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

After Xie Yan bought some daily necessities, she stayed in the rented small apartment. When she got up early the next morning to go to the concession bank to withdraw money, she passed by the Yunlai Tea House and called Li Quan quietly before the others came. Come out and talk about yourself.

"Ayan, are you coming to the teahouse from now on?" Li Quan was a bit reluctant.

"It's not just me, you have to leave as soon as possible." Xie Yan was afraid that Li Quan's sudden resignation would arouse Mr. Li's suspicion, but he was a little worried, "Try to avoid Mr. Li these days, and don't go to places with few people. When others ask, they don’t know anything, and the Dechun troupe will arrive in Hankou in a few days, and you can live with the troupe by then.”

Xie Yan was afraid that Li Quan wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut, so he didn't tell him about Mr. Li and Xie Ji Mi Xing, but even so, Li Quan also noticed something from Xie Yan's serious and dignified expression, and nodded repeatedly, "I know, A Yan ,I will be careful."

"By the way, Ayan." After listening to Xie Yan's instructions, Li Quan suddenly remembered something, "Brother Kong Chang has already returned home. It is said that he has become a buddy of the Wen family because of a blessing in disguise. Uncle Mu is very happy. For two days, I plan to kill the head sheep and invite the artistes in Wicker Lane to have a meal, Xiao Wenliu invited us by the way when he came to the teahouse to sing at noon yesterday, are you going?"

After hearing what Li Quan said, Xie Yan remembered that she almost forgot about Mu Xiuxiu's affairs.

Although he didn't have much contact with Kong Chang, that dark-skinned and stubborn boy, he left a deep impression on him. In order to reassure Mu Xiuxiu, he was still at Wen's house and asked Wen Heng to meet him. He forgot to pay attention to the follow-up of the other party.

Knowing that Kong Chang's leg had healed and returned home safely, Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Mu took great care of us, and I should go there no matter what happens. It's been half a day off."

"That's good." Li Quan clapped his hands. "We were afraid that you would be too busy to disturb you. If we knew you could go, Wen Liu would be happy!"

"'We'? 'Wenliu'?" Xie Yan captured these two words keenly, "When did you and Xiaowenliu have such a good relationship?"

"Cough!" Li Quan rubbed his neck, "We are sisters and brothers, and we meet every day in the teahouse. We must be familiar these days. What are you thinking, Ayan?"

"Really?" Xie Yan was suspicious.

"Really!" Li Quan assured.

"as long as you are happy."

"..."

Xie Yan was still in a hurry to go back to work at the pier, and after explaining everything clearly, there was no time to stay, so he hurried back to the tram.

Time went by like this for a few days, Xie Yan went to Wen’s house to go to work to teach every day, and chatted with Wen Heng when she met Wen Heng. Qi Xiuji would also come to see him in his rented apartment to discuss some issues, and generally lived a full and peaceful life.

A few days later, finally came the day for Mu Xiuxiu to treat guests.

Xie Yan took leave of absence from Mrs. Wen in advance, and took the gift to Wen's car and came to Wicker Lane.

After getting out of the car and thanking the driver, Xie Yan looked at this familiar alley, feeling a little emotional in his heart, obviously he has not been in this era for a long time, but it seems that he has experienced a lot, and new events appear every day.

"Ayan!" Li Quan had already arrived at Wicker Lane, and greeted him from afar, "Why are you here in the Wen family's car again?"

"By the way." Xie Yan didn't know how to explain.

When Mrs. Wen first proposed to let the Wen family's car take him to Wicker Lane, Xie Yan wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Wen said that people in their family who often go out don't like to take a car. The money is useless, it's a waste if you think about it, it's better to let him send Xie Yan there, it will be useful anyway.

Xie Yan's relationship with Mrs. Wen has become much closer these days, and he has a deeper understanding of the heroine's character. He knew that if he did not agree, Mrs. Wen would definitely raise her eyebrows and throw down the truth, so he had no choice but to The desire to survive strongly accepted the other party's kindness.

"That's right." Mrs. Wen patted Xie Yan's shoulder with satisfaction, "You and Rui'er Heng'er are about the same age, I already treat you as half a nephew, don't be so polite in the future. Yes Now, what do you think your uncle is holding a banquet for? Do you want me to bring a backup gift with you, too?"

Xie Yan was almost taken aback when she heard this, "Master Mu just treats guests casually to celebrate, don't bother Madam."

Let him bring Mrs. Wen's gift to see Mu Xiuxiu?Xie Yan suspected that his uncle would tear him apart and study him from the inside out to see what kind of relationship he has with the Wen family now.

Seeing Xie Yan's refusal, Mrs. Wen had no choice but to press the matter and asked the driver to take Xie Yan there. Xie Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

The elder's care from Mrs. Wen was warm, but it was too existential, which made Xie Yan, who had been a man for two lifetimes, a little bit unbearable.

Xie Yan shook her head to end the memory, and looked at Li Quan again, "I'm a bit late, is everyone here?"

"There are still some artists who are active at noon, but Mr. Mu was waiting for you early in the morning." Li Quan didn't want to understand how Xie Yan said that the way was smooth, so he simply ignored it.

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Guess, it's good news anyway." Li Quan was mysterious.

"The Dechun class is going to Hankou soon?" Xie Yan said directly.

"Ayan, you are too smart." Li Quan bowed his head in frustration, and said honestly, "Uncle Mu received a letter from the class leader this morning, saying that they have left Lanzhou safely and came to Hankou, please ask the teacher Uncle, please keep an eye on the two of us, if you calculate the time Xin is on the way, the leader and the others will only spend a day or two in Hankou!"

When Xie Yan heard that Bai Luoqiu and his party were about to arrive in Hankou, she was happy to finally have the opportunity to inquire about the original owner's background, but then she couldn't help frowning when she thought about Mr. Li and his strange attitude towards Bai Luoqiu.

"Ayan? What's wrong with you, are you...unhappy?" Li Quan didn't know why.

"Nothing." Xie Yan shook his head.

After several long conversations, Mrs. Wen has already promised Mrs. Xie to help her find out the truth. With the power of the Wen family in Hankou, Xie Yan believes that everything about Mr. Li will come to light soon. Even if he and Bai Luo Qiu really has something dirty, so don't worry about it.

"Li Quan! The spices for making mutton soup are gone, go and buy them quickly—" Xie Yan was still thinking about something, when Xiao Wenliu, who hadn't seen him for a few days, suddenly ran out from the courtyard gate not far away, proficiently commanding Li Quan.

Seeing Xie Yan and Li Quan standing together, Xiao Wenliu's words stopped abruptly, and she pursed her lips in embarrassment, "Ayan, are you here? Come in and enjoy the fire, Master is waiting for you."

"Wen Liu, you can't treat her differently, why should A Yan go to warm up the fire and I'm going to buy spices?" Li Quan had a bitter face.

"I said I want to call you Senior Sister!" Xiao Wenliu walked over and slapped Li Quan on the neck, and couldn't help laughing in the next second, "A Yan is a distinguished guest whom I finally met once, how can you compare with him?"

"..." Li Quan puffed his face, pretending to lose his temper.

"Okay, I'll go buy spices with you, okay? It's so big." Xiao Wenliu had no choice but to push Li Quan, then turned to look at Xie Yan, "Ayan, go in by yourself first Come on, we'll be right back."

"..." Xie Yan looked at the backs of Li Quan and Xiao Wenliu fighting and leaving, and always felt that something was wrong.

——Wen Rui and An Yujing must have given him the illusion these past few days, so he just saw two people casually and felt that there was something strange between them.

Xie Yan shook her head, put all these inexplicable thoughts behind her, and walked into the yard.

Mu Xiuxiu was cooking with a few helping women around the big stove in the yard. Seeing Xie Yan come in, she picked up the white towel at hand to wipe her hands, and walked over with a smile.

"A Yan is here? I haven't seen her complexion today and finally healed." Mu Xiuxiu looked Xie Yan up and down, reached out and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Did Li Quan tell you? We are going to Hankou, and our life will be easier then."

Mu Xiuxiu's eyes were a little emotional, "When our master passed away, I was 13 years old and Aqiu was only eleven. The master was afraid that we would not be able to survive after his death, so he sent me to a generous family to be a maid. Aqiu became an apprentice to Huang Shaojin, a famous actor in the troupe next door, and in less than half a year, the family I worked for moved south to Hankou, and the connection between me and Aqiu was severed."

"Fifteen or sixteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. I really didn't expect that there will be a day when our seniors and brothers will meet again."

Mu Xiuxiu sighed, and then noticed her gaffe, and quickly blinked her eyes twice to change the subject, "Okay, okay, what are I talking about with you kids, I've made some money in Hankou these years, Your master is even more well-known in the capital, and our good days are ahead, so don't say anything depressing about the banquet today."

"Xiao Wenliu went shopping with Li Quan just now, you go to the house to sit with some junior sisters for a while, that girl Yangrui misses you very much."

After Mu Xiuxiu said these words, she went to cook again. Xie Yan couldn't help much, so she had to go into the room to chat and laugh with some little girls, telling some novel things to make them happy. After a while, Xiao Wenliu and Li Quan also came back, and several people set up the borrowed table in the yard together, and this small banquet started.

Mu Xiuxiu bought a fat and tender lamb a few days in advance and slaughtered it. After cleaning it, it was frozen in the kitchen. When she got up early this morning, she chopped the lamb into small pieces and put them in a cauldron half the height of a person, along with spices and spices. The radish vermicelli and other side dishes were put together and stewed for half a day.

After the banquet started, as soon as Mu Xiuxiu lifted the lid of the cauldron, the rich aroma of mutton spread all over the yard, and the gluttonous people couldn't help swallowing in the cold winter months.

Mu Xiuxiu brought dozens of large bowls to the side of the pot, and gave everyone a bowl full of mutton soup, sprinkled a lot of garlic sprouts, and served it with steamed white flour buns. .

Xie Yan has been a human being for two generations, and he has eaten countless delicacies from mountains and seas, but he has a special liking for such a big pot meal. He ate two bowls of mutton soup in one go next to the steaming big pot. rice bowl.

Sure enough, eating is an atmosphere.

Xie Yan got up and put the bowl into the sink, said hello to Mu Xiuxiu, and planned to leave the hospital for a quick snack, but just after leaving the hospital, she saw an unexpected figure.

"Miss An? Why are you here?" Xie Yan looked at An Yujing who looked around as if he was looking for a way, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

"Mr. Xie, I have found you." An Yujing patted his chest, and sighed happily, "The road here is winding and winding. I'm afraid I'll go the wrong way and find the wrong place."

"Is there anything you want from me?" Xie Yan was even more puzzled. He just finished talking about the script with An Yujing yesterday, so there's no need for the other party to make a special trip to find him today.

"The car is right outside, come with me, we'll talk as we walk." An Yujing shook his head, looking a little nervous, "It's the inspector Fang who wants to see you."

"Fang patrolling?" Xie Yan was taken aback, "Fang Qingming, Huguang patrolling?"

"It's him." An Yujing nodded, "Today, Mr. Wen brought me to meet Fang Xunxuan, and for some reason it came to Hankou Qiyuan. Mr. Wen recommended you to Fang Xunxuan. Fang Xunxuan was very grateful. If you are interested, please let me go over and have a chat with you after I find you."
