Rescue the Vicious Villain [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 74 Rebirth in the Flame
Mrs. Zhao is the wife of Director Zhao. She is a traditional woman who only wears a cheongsam and always wears a bun on her head. Early, even if it is released, she still has a pair of small feet, so she doesn't like to go out to socialize, but she likes to be lively, so she often holds parties at home.
Her hobbies are also very limited, but playing mahjong, you can hear some new things on the mahjong table, and she spends a lot of money, and the brand is good, so there are naturally many poker friends.
In order to get closer to Mrs. Zhao, Bai Meiru also changed into a cheongsam when she went out, but because her "hair was disheveled", she didn't wear a bun.
Perm is a female voice with less hair volume. No matter how much hair is permed into small curls, it will always appear more.
Sitting in the car, Meiru was still worrying: "I heard that Mrs. Zhao used to study women's education. I'm afraid that if I have nothing to say to her, I will offend her instead."
At this time, women's independent consciousness has just awakened, and even European women have just sprouted. Meiru is at the junction of traditional and new schools. On the one hand, she believes that men and women have their own division of labor, and on the other hand, women should have their own. Property, study and study, choose your own career.
Bai Yi comforted her: "Mrs. Zhao has dealt with people all the year round, she will never talk about this with you, don't worry."
Mrs. Zhao is the daughter of a big landlord family. She has learned to manage the family's property since she was a child—not to inherit the family, but to manage her husband's family after she gets married.
Speaking of which, Bai Yi felt that an arranged marriage was not like a marriage, but more like a workplace.
Taking care of the property, taking care of the family, worrying about the husband, and helping the husband take concubines when necessary, this is work.
Status, wealth, and children are wages.
And once in office, it is life tenure.
It is impossible to change jobs, and the benefits and benefits of the job depend entirely on the mood of the husband.
Therefore, after a ten-year daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, only when her husband dies and her son succeeds in becoming a boss can she change from a "manager" to a "boss".
If the means are right, you can "listen to politics behind the curtain". If you don't have the means, you will change from looking at your husband's face to looking at your son's face.
Mrs. Zhao has no sons or daughters. She is unable to bear children. Director Zhao has three concubines who have given birth to him four sons and two daughters. The daughter is married, and the son has arranged jobs.
Because she has no children, Mrs. Zhao's hands are very loose, and she often outputs hundreds of dollars in a single game of mahjong.
She also likes to give gifts, perfumes, lipsticks, etc. She doesn't like to use, and almost all the expensive things are given away.
So there are quite a few people who flatter her. Many young ladies and wives who have no money but have some status love to approach her and flatter her.
Bai Meiru doesn't like to deal with those ladies and wives. She complained: "They are all talking about the furniture of a certain family, and they just stand up and speak ill of others. If you know which rich young master doesn't have a girlfriend, you must You must try to get closer, before I went out, many young ladies asked me about you."
Bai Yi smiled, but they don't really blame them, they only know the profession of being a "wife", so naturally they want to find a good boss.
In modern times, many daughters of rich families want to hold their own property in their own hands. They don't think that getting married is the only way out, and they don't think that it would be difficult to spend their lives on a man's love or family responsibilities. How reliable.
Thoughts are different, behaviors are different, if there is a mistake, it is also the wrong time.
"Don't argue with them, and don't get angry." Bai Yi patted the back of Meiru's hand, "You are someone who has stayed abroad and seen the world, and they have been in SIPG from birth to growth."
Meiru muttered: "I'm just a little angry... It's not that I'm angry with them, hey! I don't understand myself!"
She was bored for a while before she said: "It looks better now than before. There is a women's college, and you can show your arms when you wear clothes, and no one talks about perming, but it is basically the same as before. The students in the women's college have finished reading. You’re not married, you’re a wife, you don’t work, so why should you study?”
Today's female students mostly go back to marry after graduation, and only a few write articles after graduation and live off the royalties.
Bai Yi: "It will get better."
Mrs. Zhao's house is not small, and the banquet had already started when they arrived. There were many people standing in the huge living room, all young and middle-aged. As the only daughter of the Bai family, Meiru came back from overseas, so she naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"I think after tonight is over, you will need more brothers-in-law." The person who spoke was surnamed Yang, and he was often called Yang Sanshao. With the right to speak, even his status has risen, and it is easy for no one to show him face.
Yang San changed the subject: "From the rumors, Second Master Bai has a good relationship with you?"
Bai Yi smiled and said, "But I can say a few words."
Yang San: "That's amazing, for a person like Bai Erye, if you can talk to him a few words, you can walk sideways in SIPG."
Bai Yi took a sip of tea: "Second Master is busy with things, I'm afraid I will be forgotten in a few days."
Yang San disagreed: "You are the eldest son of the Bai family. The signboard of the Bai family is still on. How can it be so easy to forget? If you want me to say, you might as well start a business with me. My father won't let me do it, and your father will certainly not." You are allowed to do it, my dad wants me to join him in politics, and your dad must want you to be a literati like him."
"Fathers in the world are all the same. Wherever they eat, they want their children to go there too." Yang San took out his lighter and lit a cigarette. Smoking is a fashionable thing now. In the past, men smoked. After the cigarette boss saw the business opportunity of the woman, the picture on the cigarette box changed to a woman in a cheongsam with a long thin cigarette in her hand, looking elegant and noble.
So now indoors, there are more women smoking than men.
"You can talk to the second master, and if the second master leaks a little bit between his fingers, it is enough for us to make a fortune." Yang San narrowed his eyes, "If you want to say admiration, I admire the second master most, even more than us." Be small and have such a big family business”
"My dad, the one with the eyes on the top of his head, said that if I could have the skills of the second master, he called me dad."
Bai Yi was amused, Yang San: "Hey, what are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth."
"But my father said that the current situation is not good, and he is going to send me and my mother to Taiwan."
"When the situation stabilizes, bring us back."
At this time, many high-ranking officials sent their wives and children to Hong Kong or Taiwan, and some went abroad. However, most people could not adapt to foreign languages, so Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, which speak Mandarin, were the best options.
Yang San was still talking, when suddenly someone said: "The Bai family's car is here."
"Second master is coming?"
"I haven't heard of it? Besides, the second master never accepts banquets."
"It's still Director Zhao's face that matters."
The door that only opened on one side was opened on both sides at this time, everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses, and the hall that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound.
Driven by the atmosphere, even Bai Yi looked towards the door.
Today's Bai Er is wearing a black suit, he still looks sick, his lips and cheeks are bloodless, only a pair of eyes are shining, he doesn't have to speak, just stand there, everyone has to bow to him, It seems that SIPG's spirit gathered and only gave birth to such a person.
He doesn't need to give in, and he doesn't need to have a smile on his face. He will retaliate, but people say that he has a clear distinction between good and evil.
He is cruel and cruel, but people say that those who make big things don't care about small things.
Because of his status, his various shortcomings have become advantages.
Even Yang San, who had been eloquent all this time, shut up now.
Bai Er walked in, and people came back to their souls.
"What's the matter? I didn't make a sound when I came here. It sounds very lively outside." Bai Er smiled, but no one really dared to talk to himself like he said.
A young man in the crowd shouted: "I don't see Er Ye very often, and when I see him once in a while, I naturally have to put my whole body and mind on Er Ye."
These words are both flattering and joking, neither flattering nor contemptuous.
However, Bai Er had a clear goal, he didn't stop to chat with others, and walked straight to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi accompanied Bai Er all at once, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
"Second Master." Bai Yi put down his wine glass and cupped his hands.
But Bai Er said: "I heard that the West does not hand over, but only shakes hands."
Bai Er stretched out a pale but bony hand, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "I don't know if Bai Er has such an honor."
Bai Yi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Bai Er: "Second Master was joking, it is my honor to shake hands with Second Master."
"There is a play tonight." Bai Er said, "I originally wanted to invite the young master to watch it together, but I found out that the young master was here when I went to Bai's house. I invited the young master to the house, but the young master refused repeatedly. , Director Zhao came here as soon as he invited the young master, presumably I am not as good as Director Zhao when I grow up, or I am not as good as Director Zhao to please the young master?"
"That's because I didn't talk about it earlier." Bai Yi justly refuted Bai Er's words, "If it's a friend, I never refuse an invitation from a friend."
Bai Er smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the theater with me?"
Naturally, Bai Yi couldn't refuse, he smiled and said, "I dare not refuse the invitation of the second master."
Bai Er laughed, unable to distinguish between likes and dislikes: "I dare not..."
"Let's go."
Since it was Bai Er, there was no need to greet the owner here, and he led Bai Yi away from Zhao's house. When they left, the quiet hall was full of people again.
"It's said that Young Master Bai fell in love with the second master. The rumors are indeed true. Hey! I should have said a few more words to Young Master Bai just now."
"Although Young Master Bai is from a scholarly family, I don't think he is a sour literati. You don't know that it was really difficult for me to deal with an old gentleman."
Bai Yi and Bai Er got into the car, both of them sat in the back seat, the car was full of leather smell, it was really stuffy, Bai Yi opened the car window, the cool wind from outside came in, he took a few breaths, The chest that was smothered by the smell improved a lot.
"Sun Qi is on stage tonight, and I thought you knew him, so I asked you to watch." Bai Er sprinkled snuff salt powder on his finger, handed it to the tip of Bai Yi's nose, and told him to take a sip.
Bai Yi took a breath, and it really refreshed him.
Snuff has a long history. Good tobacco leaves are dried in the sun, ground into powder, sealed in the ground together with various precious medicinal materials, and can be used after one year.
However, the one used by Bai Er should be peppermint, which is refreshing and refreshing.
Bai Yi asked strangely: "Didn't you hire Mr. Sun? Did you ask him to come on stage?"
Bai Er: "I originally thought that I would spend my wallet on him, so that I could listen to some old favorites when I was bored, but it didn't taste right, so I might as well ask him to go back and sing opera."
When they got to the place, Bai Yi and Bai Er got out of the car, and Bai Yi stepped on the ground, only to realize that it was a bridge.
A wooden sign was erected beside the Huaque Bridge. I don't know when and who erected it. It is decayed and mottled for some years.
Bai Yi heard the people next to him who were also going to go to the theater chanting: "The heavy building spans the sky and the sound of rain is far away, and the house is full of people and less coquettish."
"It turned out to be Su Dongpo's words." Bai Yi sighed softly.
Bai Er: "In the early years, it was busier than it is now, and there were no cinemas at that time."
Opera is also gone now, and young people prefer to watch movies.
There are already many people sitting in the theater, and there are red lanterns hanging outside the courtyard. It doesn't look like a theater troupe, but more like a pretentious prostitute's garden.
I don't know what kind of incense I lighted, but now it's still far away, and Bai Yi can smell the vaguely sweet fragrance, and there is a couplet posted outside the yard, and Bai Yi glanced at it and turned his head away, They are all obscene words, which are unsightly.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Bai Er explained: "Nowadays, the theater doesn't do any business, so there must be more ways to get money."
Not only singing opera, but also selling spring is the way of survival for opera gardens today.
When Bai Er comes to the theater, of course he can't sit in the corner seat, the best seat in the middle is always the best seat, there is no cover, and everything on the stage can be seen clearly.
When they were seated, someone served a plate of peanuts and a pot of small wine. The wine was liqueur, mainly mellow and sweet, suitable for both men and women, and it was gentle in the throat, like a Jiangnan ditty, every bit of it was full of romance.
After staying for a while, someone reported the list of plays, and the first play was Romance of the West Chamber.
Bai Yi smiled and said, "I've seen this play."
Bai Er: "Tonight's show is about Zhang Sheng overcoming the wall and making a good deal with Cui Yingying. There are not many people here on weekdays, and they all come for this play."
In fact, it’s the same as the passionate scenes in movies. The things on the stage are not too out of the ordinary, but people just watch the movie for fun.
With the sound of a gong, the play began.
"Hungry eyes will see through, slander, saliva, and empty swallowing, emptying me to the bone with lovesickness, why should he look at him when he is about to leave. Xie Dao is a small student, even a man of iron and stone, and he also wants to attract love." As soon as the singing came to an end, Zhang Sheng's role came to an end.
Zhang Sheng is over, and Cui Yingying is about to appear.
Bai Yi asked in a low voice, "Mr. Sun sang Cui Yingying?"
Bai Er nodded.
In the play, it is written that Cui Yingying is a stunning beauty, even a man of iron and stone wants to attract love.How can a person who can be moved by stones be so beautiful?
Bai Yi thought of Sun Qi's appearance without makeup, he was a very ordinary young man.
Before Bai Yi could figure out what Sun Qi would look like with makeup on, he had already entered the stage.
Sun Qi covered his face and appeared on stage, dressed in lotus root pink theater gown, with flushed cheeks, flirtatious almond eyes, his cherry lips were slightly parted, his brows were affectionate, and his eyes were as charming as water.
Bai Yi was taken aback.
Bai Er laughed beside him and said, "Scared? I was also shocked when I first saw him taking off his makeup."
"It's no wonder that women love to make up. Even a three-point color can be turned into seven."
When the two talked, the scene was over.
Zhang Sheng is a white-faced young man who sings with the matchmaker on the top of the wall.
There was a roar of applause in the arena, and the spectators whispered to each other, just waiting for Zhang Sheng to climb over the wall.
Bai Yi remembers that in modern society, many people refer to the person who makes a match and make a marriage a matchmaker, but they don’t know that the matchmaker is from The West Chamber, that the matchmaker is the girl’s name, that the matchmaker loves Zhang Sheng, and that Zhang Sheng’s prototype is a heartless man. , I don't know that Cui Yingying's prototype may be a prostitute in a secret door.
Originally, Zhang Sheng was on good terms with Cui Yingying, and Cui Yingying loved him and gave him his own small clothes, but he took them out in front of everyone.
He also wrote many eclectic little poems, describing all the things about himself and Cui Yingying in bed.
Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty wrote the Biography of Yingying based on himself, also known as Huizhen Ji. Later, Wang Shifu of the Yuan Dynasty adapted and beautified it, and there was Cui Yingying's Story of the West Chamber, referred to as The Story of the West Chamber.
People only know that Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying got married under the matchmaker's help.
I don't know that the real Cui Yingying has been waiting for Zhang Sheng for a lifetime.
And Zhang Sheng also has a wife, and Cui Yingying is just a wild flower he picked on the side of the road.
Thinking of this, Bai Yi felt that the lively scene in front of him suddenly became dull.
He didn't know what love was before, and he was not touched by watching such a play.
Now he feels that Cui Yingying is a poor person, but Zhang Sheng is a brazen hypocrisy.
"What's the matter?" Bai Er felt the change in Bai Yi's mood. He had seen the play and was not very interested.
Bai Yi shook his head and said, "I just don't think it's interesting."
Bai Er asked again: "Why are you bored?"
Seeing that Bai Er wanted to ask the end, Bai Yi said: "The matchmaker loves Zhang Sheng, thinking that when Cui Yingying got married, she was a dowry and could serve the young master. Cui Yingying only met Zhang Sheng once, and even if she had a good impression, if the matchmaker hadn't kept matching, She will never fall in love with Zhang Sheng."
"This play is about Zhang Sheng and Hong Niang working together to plot against a naive young lady who doesn't leave her home."
Bai Er sneered and said, "It's just a play, do you still take it seriously?"
Bai Yi looked at Bai Er: "What I watch and listen to, I always take it seriously."
Bai Er restrained his smile, and raised his teacup: "I was wrong. Young Master is a very affectionate and sexual person. I will make amends to Young Master by replacing wine with tea."
Bai Yi also picked up the teacup: "Second Lord, you are welcome."
"This Sun Qi was worthy of being a pillar in the past. He was a master at playing men and women. I traveled all over the world and saw a lot of this drama. But I have never seen such a beautiful 'Cui Yingying'. Listening to his delicate singing, I still feel like With three points of affection, compared to those who are not inferior." The old man with a deep voice talked eloquently, pointed out the country, and stroked his fingers proudly.
Bai Er and Bai Yi sat in front, blocked by others, no one knew that Bai Er was there.
So people here have no scruples when they speak.
"Then why didn't he sing before?"
"Who says not to sing? Just don't sing for us. He climbed a high branch and flew to the branch to become a phoenix!"
"What phoenix? Wasn't it sent back again? In my opinion, a pheasant is just a pheasant, and it can't be a phoenix for a lifetime."
Bai Yi thought that Bai Er would be angry, but found that Bai Er was sitting there, it seemed that what those people said didn't reach his ears.
Bai Er noticed that Bai Yi was looking at him, so he said: "Sun Qi is just an actor, I entrusted him only to listen to a few plays, I never touched him, never loved him, what do others think of him, what does it matter to me?"
"Master Bai thinks that I, Bai Er, like the new and dislike the old?" Bai Er held Bai Yi's hand under the table.
Bai Er's hands were cold, but he had great strength, Bai Yi couldn't break free.
Bai Er: "I am a person with shortcomings. If there are advantages, I will do what I say."
"At first, I thought that I had cheated the young master, so I had to accept the punishment." Bai Er, "I planned to sell the penicillin to the young master's friend at a low price, but I think it was not sincere enough."
Bai Er smiled softly, his eyebrows and eyes were tender; "So, how about I pay myself to Er Shao?"
Bai Yi: "...The conversation has already been said, the second master really doesn't need to..."
Bai Er: "I regret it."
Bai Er's tone was exceptionally gentle, like the calm before the storm: "I didn't know that young master is such an interesting person, but young master won't love me because of my powerful position, then I can only learn from those students and pursue How are you, young and old?"
Bai Yi said helplessly: "Second Master really doesn't need it, my father has already written a letter to an old friend, and he has already transcribed the article."
"This has nothing to do with Mr. Bai." There was a smile on Bai Er's sickly face. He usually smiled with a bit of gloom, but now he smiled, which made people feel like a spring breeze was blowing on his face.
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't know how to show kindness, it's just that he didn't have to show goodwill since he was sitting in the current seat.
Bai Yi: "How is Second Master going to pursue me? I'm a man, so I'm afraid sending flowers to the movies will be useless."
Bai Er said with a half-smile: "Young Master will know when the time comes, so please don't disappoint my affection."
Bai Yi: "Second Master, I've made it very clear before."
Bai Er: "What I do is my business, you don't have to worry about it, I, Bai Er, have always been able to take it and let it go, if you are still so cruel after seeing the gift, I will not bother you anymore."
Bai Er said it lightly, but Bai Yi didn't listen lightly.
He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what attracted Bai Er to him. Isn't he not enough to stand out from everyone?
Does he have any strange traits here?
Bai Er's affection for him is like water without roots, and he can't find the slightest source.
It's also possible... Bai Er is Zhang Li?
Bai Yi chuckled lightly.
impossible.
No matter which world Zhang Li is, he will never grow up like this.
They are all uniformly tall, with lean and beautiful muscles, but Bai Er is a sick man.
Personality is also different.
There are many nonsense in Baibai, and the others are basically cherishing words like gold.
In terms of similarities, only Meng Ao is the most similar, but although Meng Ao has a bad temper and talks a lot, he is not as calm and gentle as Bai Er.
Bai Yi even felt that this Bai Er was a replica of himself.
It's just that after sitting in a high position, I don't have so many worries.
"Then I'll wait for the second master's gift." Bai Yi took a sip of hot tea.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the white mist floats upwards, graceful and graceful. ....,,
Her hobbies are also very limited, but playing mahjong, you can hear some new things on the mahjong table, and she spends a lot of money, and the brand is good, so there are naturally many poker friends.
In order to get closer to Mrs. Zhao, Bai Meiru also changed into a cheongsam when she went out, but because her "hair was disheveled", she didn't wear a bun.
Perm is a female voice with less hair volume. No matter how much hair is permed into small curls, it will always appear more.
Sitting in the car, Meiru was still worrying: "I heard that Mrs. Zhao used to study women's education. I'm afraid that if I have nothing to say to her, I will offend her instead."
At this time, women's independent consciousness has just awakened, and even European women have just sprouted. Meiru is at the junction of traditional and new schools. On the one hand, she believes that men and women have their own division of labor, and on the other hand, women should have their own. Property, study and study, choose your own career.
Bai Yi comforted her: "Mrs. Zhao has dealt with people all the year round, she will never talk about this with you, don't worry."
Mrs. Zhao is the daughter of a big landlord family. She has learned to manage the family's property since she was a child—not to inherit the family, but to manage her husband's family after she gets married.
Speaking of which, Bai Yi felt that an arranged marriage was not like a marriage, but more like a workplace.
Taking care of the property, taking care of the family, worrying about the husband, and helping the husband take concubines when necessary, this is work.
Status, wealth, and children are wages.
And once in office, it is life tenure.
It is impossible to change jobs, and the benefits and benefits of the job depend entirely on the mood of the husband.
Therefore, after a ten-year daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, only when her husband dies and her son succeeds in becoming a boss can she change from a "manager" to a "boss".
If the means are right, you can "listen to politics behind the curtain". If you don't have the means, you will change from looking at your husband's face to looking at your son's face.
Mrs. Zhao has no sons or daughters. She is unable to bear children. Director Zhao has three concubines who have given birth to him four sons and two daughters. The daughter is married, and the son has arranged jobs.
Because she has no children, Mrs. Zhao's hands are very loose, and she often outputs hundreds of dollars in a single game of mahjong.
She also likes to give gifts, perfumes, lipsticks, etc. She doesn't like to use, and almost all the expensive things are given away.
So there are quite a few people who flatter her. Many young ladies and wives who have no money but have some status love to approach her and flatter her.
Bai Meiru doesn't like to deal with those ladies and wives. She complained: "They are all talking about the furniture of a certain family, and they just stand up and speak ill of others. If you know which rich young master doesn't have a girlfriend, you must You must try to get closer, before I went out, many young ladies asked me about you."

Thoughts are different, behaviors are different, if there is a mistake, it is also the wrong time.
"Don't argue with them, and don't get angry." Bai Yi patted the back of Meiru's hand, "You are someone who has stayed abroad and seen the world, and they have been in SIPG from birth to growth."
Meiru muttered: "I'm just a little angry... It's not that I'm angry with them, hey! I don't understand myself!"
She was bored for a while before she said: "It looks better now than before. There is a women's college, and you can show your arms when you wear clothes, and no one talks about perming, but it is basically the same as before. The students in the women's college have finished reading. You’re not married, you’re a wife, you don’t work, so why should you study?”
Today's female students mostly go back to marry after graduation, and only a few write articles after graduation and live off the royalties.
Bai Yi: "It will get better."
Mrs. Zhao's house is not small, and the banquet had already started when they arrived. There were many people standing in the huge living room, all young and middle-aged. As the only daughter of the Bai family, Meiru came back from overseas, so she naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Bai Yi smiled and said, "But I can say a few words."
Yang San: "That's amazing, for a person like Bai Erye, if you can talk to him a few words, you can walk sideways in SIPG."
Bai Yi took a sip of tea: "Second Master is busy with things, I'm afraid I will be forgotten in a few days."

You are allowed to do it, my dad wants me to join him in politics, and your dad must want you to be a literati like him."
"Fathers in the world are all the same. Wherever they eat, they want their children to go there too." Yang San took out his lighter and lit a cigarette. Smoking is a fashionable thing now.

"My dad, the one with the eyes on the top of his head, said that if I could have the skills of the second master, he called me dad."
Bai Yi was amused, Yang San: "Hey, what are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth."
"But my father said that the current situation is not good, and he is going to send me and my mother to Taiwan."
"When the situation stabilizes, bring us back."
At this time, many high-ranking officials sent their wives and children to Hong Kong or Taiwan, and some went abroad. However, most people could not adapt to foreign languages, so Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, which speak Mandarin, were the best options.
Yang San was still talking, when suddenly someone said: "The Bai family's car is here."
"Second master is coming?"
"I haven't heard of it? Besides, the second master never accepts banquets."
"It's still Director Zhao's face that matters."
The door that only opened on one side was opened on both sides at this time, everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses, and the hall that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound.

He is cruel and cruel, but people say that those who make big things don't care about small things.
Because of his status, his various shortcomings have become advantages.
Even Yang San, who had been eloquent all this time, shut up now.
Bai Er walked in, and people came back to their souls.
"What's the matter? I didn't make a sound when I came here. It sounds very lively outside." Bai Er smiled, but no one really dared to talk to himself like he said.

However, Bai Er had a clear goal, he didn't stop to chat with others, and walked straight to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi accompanied Bai Er all at once, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
"Second Master." Bai Yi put down his wine glass and cupped his hands.
But Bai Er said: "I heard that the West does not hand over, but only shakes hands."
Bai Er stretched out a pale but bony hand, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "I don't know if Bai Er has such an honor."
Bai Yi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Bai Er: "Second Master was joking, it is my honor to shake hands with Second Master."
"There is a play tonight." Bai Er said, "I originally wanted to invite the young master to watch it together, but I found out that the young master was here when I went to Bai's house. I invited the young master to the house, but the young master refused repeatedly. , Director Zhao came here as soon as he invited the young master, presumably I am not as good as Director Zhao when I grow up, or I am not as good as Director Zhao to please the young master?"
"That's because I didn't talk about it earlier." Bai Yi justly refuted Bai Er's words, "If it's a friend, I never refuse an invitation from a friend."
Bai Er smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the theater with me?"
Naturally, Bai Yi couldn't refuse, he smiled and said, "I dare not refuse the invitation of the second master."
Bai Er laughed, unable to distinguish between likes and dislikes: "I dare not..."
"Let's go."
Since it was Bai Er, there was no need to greet the owner here, and he led Bai Yi away from Zhao's house. When they left, the quiet hall was full of people again.
"It's said that Young Master Bai fell in love with the second master. The rumors are indeed true. Hey! I should have said a few more words to Young Master Bai just now."
"Although Young Master Bai is from a scholarly family, I don't think he is a sour literati. You don't know that it was really difficult for me to deal with an old gentleman."
Bai Yi and Bai Er got into the car, both of them sat in the back seat, the car was full of leather smell, it was really stuffy, Bai Yi opened the car window, the cool wind from outside came in, he took a few breaths, The chest that was smothered by the smell improved a lot.
"Sun Qi is on stage tonight, and I thought you knew him, so I asked you to watch." Bai Er sprinkled snuff salt powder on his finger, handed it to the tip of Bai Yi's nose, and told him to take a sip.
Bai Yi took a breath, and it really refreshed him.
Snuff has a long history. Good tobacco leaves are dried in the sun, ground into powder, sealed in the ground together with various precious medicinal materials, and can be used after one year.
However, the one used by Bai Er should be peppermint, which is refreshing and refreshing.
Bai Yi asked strangely: "Didn't you hire Mr. Sun? Did you ask him to come on stage?"
Bai Er: "I originally thought that I would spend my wallet on him, so that I could listen to some old favorites when I was bored, but it didn't taste right, so I might as well ask him to go back and sing opera."
When they got to the place, Bai Yi and Bai Er got out of the car, and Bai Yi stepped on the ground, only to realize that it was a bridge.
A wooden sign was erected beside the Huaque Bridge. I don't know when and who erected it. It is decayed and mottled for some years.
Bai Yi heard the people next to him who were also going to go to the theater chanting: "The heavy building spans the sky and the sound of rain is far away, and the house is full of people and less coquettish."
"It turned out to be Su Dongpo's words." Bai Yi sighed softly.
Bai Er: "In the early years, it was busier than it is now, and there were no cinemas at that time."
Opera is also gone now, and young people prefer to watch movies.
There are already many people sitting in the theater, and there are red lanterns hanging outside the courtyard. It doesn't look like a theater troupe, but more like a pretentious prostitute's garden.
I don't know what kind of incense I lighted, but now it's still far away, and Bai Yi can smell the vaguely sweet fragrance, and there is a couplet posted outside the yard, and Bai Yi glanced at it and turned his head away, They are all obscene words, which are unsightly.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Bai Er explained: "Nowadays, the theater doesn't do any business, so there must be more ways to get money."
Not only singing opera, but also selling spring is the way of survival for opera gardens today.
When Bai Er comes to the theater, of course he can't sit in the corner seat, the best seat in the middle is always the best seat, there is no cover, and everything on the stage can be seen clearly.
When they were seated, someone served a plate of peanuts and a pot of small wine. The wine was liqueur, mainly mellow and sweet, suitable for both men and women, and it was gentle in the throat, like a Jiangnan ditty, every bit of it was full of romance.
After staying for a while, someone reported the list of plays, and the first play was Romance of the West Chamber.
Bai Yi smiled and said, "I've seen this play."
Bai Er: "Tonight's show is about Zhang Sheng overcoming the wall and making a good deal with Cui Yingying. There are not many people here on weekdays, and they all come for this play."
In fact, it’s the same as the passionate scenes in movies. The things on the stage are not too out of the ordinary, but people just watch the movie for fun.
With the sound of a gong, the play began.
"Hungry eyes will see through, slander, saliva, and empty swallowing, emptying me to the bone with lovesickness, why should he look at him when he is about to leave. Xie Dao is a small student, even a man of iron and stone, and he also wants to attract love." As soon as the singing came to an end, Zhang Sheng's role came to an end.
Zhang Sheng is over, and Cui Yingying is about to appear.
Bai Yi asked in a low voice, "Mr. Sun sang Cui Yingying?"
Bai Er nodded.
In the play, it is written that Cui Yingying is a stunning beauty, even a man of iron and stone wants to attract love.How can a person who can be moved by stones be so beautiful?
Bai Yi thought of Sun Qi's appearance without makeup, he was a very ordinary young man.
Before Bai Yi could figure out what Sun Qi would look like with makeup on, he had already entered the stage.
Sun Qi covered his face and appeared on stage, dressed in lotus root pink theater gown, with flushed cheeks, flirtatious almond eyes, his cherry lips were slightly parted, his brows were affectionate, and his eyes were as charming as water.
Bai Yi was taken aback.
Bai Er laughed beside him and said, "Scared? I was also shocked when I first saw him taking off his makeup."
"It's no wonder that women love to make up. Even a three-point color can be turned into seven."
When the two talked, the scene was over.
Zhang Sheng is a white-faced young man who sings with the matchmaker on the top of the wall.
There was a roar of applause in the arena, and the spectators whispered to each other, just waiting for Zhang Sheng to climb over the wall.
Bai Yi remembers that in modern society, many people refer to the person who makes a match and make a marriage a matchmaker, but they don’t know that the matchmaker is from The West Chamber, that the matchmaker is the girl’s name, that the matchmaker loves Zhang Sheng, and that Zhang Sheng’s prototype is a heartless man. , I don't know that Cui Yingying's prototype may be a prostitute in a secret door.
Originally, Zhang Sheng was on good terms with Cui Yingying, and Cui Yingying loved him and gave him his own small clothes, but he took them out in front of everyone.
He also wrote many eclectic little poems, describing all the things about himself and Cui Yingying in bed.
Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty wrote the Biography of Yingying based on himself, also known as Huizhen Ji. Later, Wang Shifu of the Yuan Dynasty adapted and beautified it, and there was Cui Yingying's Story of the West Chamber, referred to as The Story of the West Chamber.
People only know that Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying got married under the matchmaker's help.
I don't know that the real Cui Yingying has been waiting for Zhang Sheng for a lifetime.
And Zhang Sheng also has a wife, and Cui Yingying is just a wild flower he picked on the side of the road.
Thinking of this, Bai Yi felt that the lively scene in front of him suddenly became dull.
He didn't know what love was before, and he was not touched by watching such a play.
Now he feels that Cui Yingying is a poor person, but Zhang Sheng is a brazen hypocrisy.
"What's the matter?" Bai Er felt the change in Bai Yi's mood. He had seen the play and was not very interested.
Bai Yi shook his head and said, "I just don't think it's interesting."
Bai Er asked again: "Why are you bored?"
Seeing that Bai Er wanted to ask the end, Bai Yi said: "The matchmaker loves Zhang Sheng, thinking that when Cui Yingying got married, she was a dowry and could serve the young master. Cui Yingying only met Zhang Sheng once, and even if she had a good impression, if the matchmaker hadn't kept matching, She will never fall in love with Zhang Sheng."
"This play is about Zhang Sheng and Hong Niang working together to plot against a naive young lady who doesn't leave her home."
Bai Er sneered and said, "It's just a play, do you still take it seriously?"
Bai Yi looked at Bai Er: "What I watch and listen to, I always take it seriously."
Bai Er restrained his smile, and raised his teacup: "I was wrong. Young Master is a very affectionate and sexual person. I will make amends to Young Master by replacing wine with tea."
Bai Yi also picked up the teacup: "Second Lord, you are welcome."
"This Sun Qi was worthy of being a pillar in the past. He was a master at playing men and women. I traveled all over the world and saw a lot of this drama. But I have never seen such a beautiful 'Cui Yingying'. Listening to his delicate singing, I still feel like With three points of affection, compared to those who are not inferior." The old man with a deep voice talked eloquently, pointed out the country, and stroked his fingers proudly.
Bai Er and Bai Yi sat in front, blocked by others, no one knew that Bai Er was there.
So people here have no scruples when they speak.
"Then why didn't he sing before?"
"Who says not to sing? Just don't sing for us. He climbed a high branch and flew to the branch to become a phoenix!"
"What phoenix? Wasn't it sent back again? In my opinion, a pheasant is just a pheasant, and it can't be a phoenix for a lifetime."
Bai Yi thought that Bai Er would be angry, but found that Bai Er was sitting there, it seemed that what those people said didn't reach his ears.
Bai Er noticed that Bai Yi was looking at him, so he said: "Sun Qi is just an actor, I entrusted him only to listen to a few plays, I never touched him, never loved him, what do others think of him, what does it matter to me?"
"Master Bai thinks that I, Bai Er, like the new and dislike the old?" Bai Er held Bai Yi's hand under the table.
Bai Er's hands were cold, but he had great strength, Bai Yi couldn't break free.
Bai Er: "I am a person with shortcomings. If there are advantages, I will do what I say."
"At first, I thought that I had cheated the young master, so I had to accept the punishment." Bai Er, "I planned to sell the penicillin to the young master's friend at a low price, but I think it was not sincere enough."
Bai Er smiled softly, his eyebrows and eyes were tender; "So, how about I pay myself to Er Shao?"
Bai Yi: "...The conversation has already been said, the second master really doesn't need to..."
Bai Er: "I regret it."
Bai Er's tone was exceptionally gentle, like the calm before the storm: "I didn't know that young master is such an interesting person, but young master won't love me because of my powerful position, then I can only learn from those students and pursue How are you, young and old?"
Bai Yi said helplessly: "Second Master really doesn't need it, my father has already written a letter to an old friend, and he has already transcribed the article."
"This has nothing to do with Mr. Bai." There was a smile on Bai Er's sickly face. He usually smiled with a bit of gloom, but now he smiled, which made people feel like a spring breeze was blowing on his face.
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't know how to show kindness, it's just that he didn't have to show goodwill since he was sitting in the current seat.
Bai Yi: "How is Second Master going to pursue me? I'm a man, so I'm afraid sending flowers to the movies will be useless."
Bai Er said with a half-smile: "Young Master will know when the time comes, so please don't disappoint my affection."
Bai Yi: "Second Master, I've made it very clear before."
Bai Er: "What I do is my business, you don't have to worry about it, I, Bai Er, have always been able to take it and let it go, if you are still so cruel after seeing the gift, I will not bother you anymore."
Bai Er said it lightly, but Bai Yi didn't listen lightly.
He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what attracted Bai Er to him. Isn't he not enough to stand out from everyone?
Does he have any strange traits here?
Bai Er's affection for him is like water without roots, and he can't find the slightest source.
It's also possible... Bai Er is Zhang Li?
Bai Yi chuckled lightly.
impossible.
No matter which world Zhang Li is, he will never grow up like this.
They are all uniformly tall, with lean and beautiful muscles, but Bai Er is a sick man.
Personality is also different.
There are many nonsense in Baibai, and the others are basically cherishing words like gold.
In terms of similarities, only Meng Ao is the most similar, but although Meng Ao has a bad temper and talks a lot, he is not as calm and gentle as Bai Er.
Bai Yi even felt that this Bai Er was a replica of himself.
It's just that after sitting in a high position, I don't have so many worries.
"Then I'll wait for the second master's gift." Bai Yi took a sip of hot tea.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the white mist floats upwards, graceful and graceful. ....,,
