Chapter 3 Chapter two

The wind is cold and whistling, the snow is icy, and the willow branches are covered with velvet, and there are strips of ice hanging under the eaves. Just looking at it makes my heart feel cold. Someone, though, thought it was delicious. Empress, Bing Bing, Bing Bing, with big black eyes, small red mouth, and Xiao Ri's chubby fingers pointing to the strips of ice hangers outside the door and yelling.Xiao Ri'er wants to eat, Xiao Ri'er wants to eat! which ice?Man'er glanced casually.Oh that oh!OK, here you go!As she said that, the catkin that was putting on the padded jacket for him suddenly stretched into his neck.where!Is it tasty?

ah!Ma'am, it's so cold! Xiao Ri'er immediately ran away screaming and laughing, the padded jacket was half hung on his body as if a tail was tied, Man'er reached out and grabbed his tail and pulled it back. It was you who said you want to eat ice! Empress!Xiao Ri'er stared at her sadly with two big round eyes, she really looked like someone. Put on the cotton-padded jacket for him, smile and pinch the tip of his nose, then put on a tiger hat for him, take good care of him, the chestnut seller will come later, mother will buy you two cents for you to chew on, that's all right Bar?Finally, she kissed him hard on the apple-like cheek.

Well, Xiao Ri'er bit her finger and looked at the ice hanging under the eaves thinking for a long time.Well! Alright, let's go to the hall!Holding her chubby little body in her arms, Man'er couldn't help but gasped, and was almost crushed to death by him.God, why are you getting heavier and heavier! Xiao Ri'er smiled triumphantly.The uncle gave Xiaori'er candy to eat, the aunt also gave Xiaori'er candy to eat, and the uncle also gave Xiaori'er candy to eat. Man'er shook his head dumbfounded.Yes yes yes, you are amazing, okay?It's all because this little guy is so cute, everyone who has seen him can't wait to steal him home and hide him as their own treasure. Fortunately, she watched closely enough so that her son was not killed by a candied haws or a sugar noodle man. The son or something was abducted.

However, the son not only has facial features like his father's, but his head is as thievesy as his father's. If he has nothing to do, he will go around the inner courtyard and come back, and he will give her two or three pennies in his hand, saying who will give it to her. He bought sweets to eat, which made her wonder whether he was abducted or he abducted others. As soon as she walked out of the south room, Xiao Ri'er hugged her tightly around her neck. Will it be cold, little Ri'er? cold! Hurry up, girl. ah!Empress, Xiao Ri'er wants to eat that ice flower. Mother will give you this hot food!

There was a snap, followed by the pitiful cry of the little baby. Woo ming, ma'am, my butt hurts, this is not good! In the main room, all the members of the troupe gathered together, including Xiao Ri'er and a breastfeeding baby, but there were less than ten people, and all of them were dark-faced and dejected, and the joyful atmosphere of the New Year's Eve was not dyed red at all. their faces. It's too much, I didn't say it earlier when I wanted to leave, but just in time for this year's festival, I just yelled to leave with a smile, and walked with several corners, obviously just to make us look good Well!Tian Bin, who plays the old man, cursed angrily.

Okay, okay, everyone has his own ambitions!The head teacher still has that good tempered appearance.The problem now is that we have lost all our important roles, and we can't start the show at all, so he glanced at his wife, and he stopped with a wry smile. The head teacher's wife, Yun Niang, bravely puffed out her chest.It’s like this. There was a theater troupe in Yangzhou who wanted to come to Beijing to develop. We made an agreement with them. We have an appointment with the theater and the accommodation can be crowded, so we formed a troupe with them, and let the theater run anyway. It's a show, otherwise I will be too sorry for the owner of the theater.

Team up? Uh, in fact, it’s not exactly a team!Their old team will still stay in Yangzhou, but their team leader will ask his daughter to bring the missing roles from our side to fill in. Make up?But what about the supplementary role?Especially Zhengdan, if only a OK, that's great!Before Tian Bin finished speaking, the class leader blurted out his admiration.I also specially went to Yangzhou to listen to their drama, drink!That Danjiaoer is simply too good, whether it is appearance, singing or figure, he is the most perfect one I have ever seen, and he not only knows Kunqiang, but also Yiyang and Bangzi. No wonder it took less than three or four months He became so popular in the entire Yangzhou government, and those places in Suzhou and Yangzhou beat him to the stage!

Really?Hu Yuechai, who was in charge of cleaning the corners, looked suspicious.How does that compare to Hua Yanqiu? Well, the head teacher stroked his chin and thought about it seriously.Strictly speaking, Hua Yanqiu is at least 70% of that boss Jin!In fact, I personally think that there is no one in the capital who can match him. Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be astonished. Is that all right? Yes there is such a line. That being the case, what are the conditions of the other party? The class leader and his wife glanced at each other, then retreated, and Yunniang had no choice but to stand up again to solve the predicament for her husband.

It's simple, we have to listen to them. What?That's too Then you say, do we have another way to go? This question made everyone dumbfounded. After listening to it for a long time, Man'er asked nervously: "Then what should we do?" Don't worry, don't worry, Yunniang said hurriedly.The people on our side will remain as they are, and no one will be changed, except that the back room will be used by their boss Jin, the upper room and the east room will be used by other members of their troupe, and we will live in the west room and The South Room, although it is a bit crowded, can still make do with it, right?

Man'er breathed a sigh of relief.I don't care!There is a kang for me to sleep in, and a steamed bun to eat, that's enough.As long as she doesn't let her wander outside with the child in the snow, it's fine. OK, so what's the problem? when are they coming They have rushed over as soon as possible, and they will arrive in about two days. oh!Na Man'er got up and took his son's hand.Let's tidy up the room first, Xiao Taoyu, do you want to come and sleep with us? Ga?Ah, good! Xiao Taoyu and Man'er left together, the leader and Yunniang watched the others silently, and the others looked at me and you for a long time, and finally went back to their rooms in silence to sort out their things , the leader and Yunniang sighed at each other.

They don't want to do this either!But the environment is not in control at all, so what can they do? As soon as they saw the arrogant Qian Rushi who came first to check whether everything was ready, the daughter of the head of the troupe in Yangzhou, the people in the troupe here had a premonition that the days ahead would definitely not be too easy, look at her That defiant look, as if she is the famous actor who is so popular in Yangzhou Prefecture, but in fact, she is just doing odd jobs for that famous actor. The cover room is not clean enough, go clean it again!Qian Rushi said arrogantly.Also, who of you can make sweet-scented osmanthus porridge and melon ginger shredded fish? Huh?Such a familiar dish name! Man'er raised her hand suspiciously.I can. Why don't you hurry up and get ready. During the intermission later, Boss Jin's daughter wants to drink porridge, and Boss Jin wants to eat fish. Eh?Need to eat during intermission? Upon hearing this, Man'er hurriedly turned around and ran away.Can you still buy melon and ginger? Boss Jin really wants to act as soon as he arrives here?The head teacher hurriedly asked. The disdainful eyes slanted over, how many days have you been out of the show?Qian Rushi's tone was even more contemptuous. Uh, the class leader smiled bitterly in embarrassment.It's been seven days. Isn't this the end?For the sake of the reputation of your theater troupe, why don't you hurry up and start the show?Speaking of which, have you asked Xiyuanzi to do publicity? Done!Done!Made this two days ago! two days ago?Qian Rushi frowned, and immediately unfolded.Well, as long as Boss Jinyanzhujin plays for a day, someone will promote him for him. Soon, the Yangzhou theater troupe finally arrived in time, and they went directly to the theater garden. They all put on their makeup and costumes on the carriage, and jumped onto the stage as soon as they got off the carriage, without even having time to catch their breath. Jumped just a little bit and couldn't catch up. Hearing what the troupe master said was great, the people in the troupe naturally wanted to verify it, so all of a sudden, no matter if there was a play or not, all the people in the courtyard left, and even Xiao Rier was taken away by the troupe master, leaving only Xia Man'er fought tirelessly with Gu Jiang Yusi. Xiaoman, are you ready? it is done!it is done! Then send it over quickly!Yun Niang, who brought her daughter back to breastfeed, urged.By the way, let's take a look at that Boss Jin's play, it's really, really, nothing to say! Hearing this, Man'er was even more curious. When she arrived at the opera garden and handed over the porridge and fish to Qian Rushi, she immediately ran to the front to watch the opera with the troupe master and the others. In all honesty, she didn't know anything about opera at all, but after all, she had lived in an opera troupe for several months before she got to know a little bit.But even a half-baked half-baby like her can't help but admit that the golden inkstone on the stage is really not bad, Hua Yanqiu is indeed far behind. Look at his beautiful appearance, noble, dignified and hidden, and his mellow and delicate voice than a real woman, as well as his smooth and elegant articulation, teasing and singing rhyme, not to mention his soft and graceful work , a Magnolia hand, a Liuyun swinging his sleeves, really extremely soft and beautiful, almost made Cui Yingying play and sing alive, and it is even more unbelievable that he is a big man except for his too tall figure . [Mixed River Dragon] The pond is dreamy, the blue butterfly powder is lightly stained with flying catkins and snow, and the fragrance of swallow mud provokes the falling flowers and dust. The spring mood is short and the willow silk is long. Sanchu spirit good!good! Well! Hearing the applause from the hostess and the guests, Man'er turned his eyes to the seats in front of the stage, and found that there were not many guests today, probably because the other theaters were full, so he had no choice but to come here to have a look. To be honest, she knows more about the guests than Xiquer. Just seeing the amazed, appreciative and focused expressions on their faces, she knows that not only will they come back tomorrow, but they will also bring more people to come. , within two days, this theater must be full! [Yue Tiao.Quail Fighting] Clouds gather in the clear sky, the ice wheel suddenly surges and the wind sweeps away the red, and the incense ranks surge chaotically. Well, well, that's great!The head teacher's tears almost fell down.Not to mention that his poignant singing voice fully expresses Cui Yingying's resentful thoughts, just by watching his eye movements, sad expression and body work, one can strongly feel how helpless Cui Yingying is, and Hua Yanqiu can't help it make it happen.Um!I can assure you, it won't take a month, no, ten days will be enough, within ten days he will be popular in the entire capital! Really so powerful? Man'er glanced at the class master, and then looked at the stage. At this moment, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Cui Yingying on the stage seemed to be looking at her from the far side. At the same time, I heard the muttering of the head teacher. However, I heard that his temper is not very good after the show, his personality is very cold, he is not easy to serve, not easy to please, I hope there will be no problems. Didn't the boss talk to him? No, I was talking to their class leader, and I haven't seen Boss Jin's appearance after the show, but he must be good looking. That's right, otherwise, how could she be so beautiful with just makeup. Huh?What about Xiaori? Asleep, I asked Tian Bin to carry him back to Yunniang. oh!After hesitating for a while, Man'er still couldn't match her strong curiosity, and decided to stay with everyone to see the real face of that Boss Jin, and experience his bad temper.Can I stay? The head teacher smiled.sure!Anyway, Yunniang wants to put the child to sleep, so she can't come again, so it doesn't matter if you stay.I think everyone is the same, and I can see you when I go back at one o'clock tomorrow night, but I just want to quickly see what kind of man that Boss Jin is. Man'er shrugged.As long as Hua Yanqiu is mad enough to kill her. The boss laughed again.You don't talk, I thought you weren't angry! Rolling his eyes upwards, Man'er let out a sneer.It's impossible not to be angry, he usually loses two to five to eighty thousand yuan, and everyone is still enduring it, but I didn't expect him to jump to another team, but at this time, if possible, really I really hope to let him taste the taste of the arrogant must lose. Looking back on the stage, he will, he will, the class leader said slowly.As long as this Boss Jin is around, Hua Yanqiu will definitely feel regretful! After Jin Yanzhu played, everyone immediately flocked to the backstage theater room, including the guests watching the theater, the troupe here, and the owner of the theater garden. Jin Yanzhu, who had lost his hair and loosened his hair, was blocked from the theater by the arrogant Qian Rushi. I'm sorry, everyone, Boss Jin doesn't like being harassed, please restrain yourself! After finishing speaking, she ordered two people to stand guard at the door of the theatre, while she came to Jin Yanzhu boldly, bowed her head and spoke to him intimately, as if deliberately showing others. Brother Jin, they won't quarrel with you now, what can you do?Why?Didn't you always think that I can do it for you by yourself? She suddenly took two steps back with a slight change in her expression.Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry, whatever you say is what you say, I'll call her, I'll call her! Then, she turned her head unwillingly and stared at Man'er.You made the melon ginger fish shreds, right?Seeing Man'er nodding, she waved.Come here, Boss Jin wants you to remove his makeup for him! Eh?I?Man'er pointed to her nose in astonishment. Yes, it's you, hurry up!Ganqing intends to vent all her grievances on Man'er, but Qian Rushi's tone is obviously getting worse and worse.Don't forget that you all depend on him for food, even if he wants you to kneel down and lick his feet, you have to obey, understand? Danfeng narrowed her eyes, before Man'er had time to react, the leader put her hand on her shoulder, looked back, the leader's face was full of apology; she suddenly smiled, and winked at the leader, and then went straight to Jin Yanzhu Report by your side. Boss Jin, would you like to remove your makeup first, or lick your feet first? The people here almost laughed, but Qian Rushi's face changed into a rage, but she saw that Jin Yanzhu had already put the makeup remover cloth into Man'er's hands, and then slowly turned to her, his eyes were closed. Man'er shrugged and began to remove his makeup. Yuan was a little careless, only curious about his true face?But as she unloaded, her phoenix eyes opened wider and wider, her pupils gradually filled with an expression of disbelief, and she rubbed her hands faster and more rudely. In the end, she looked like She wiped it vigorously like wiping the table, and then she froze. Jin Yanzhu slowly opened his eyes, his round and big pupils seemed innocent and indifferent. She gasped and took a step back, almost passing out.As soon as you blurted out a word, she suddenly stood back, hurriedly picked up the white powder and rouge on the dresser, and planned to wipe the makeup back again. Everyone froze for a moment, Jin Yanzhu had already grabbed her hand. what do you want to do Man'er froze again, then grinned dumbly and stupidly.I help you put on makeup? I just put on my makeup. Yeah?Well, then she swallowed, I can go!After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to escape. Still want to escape?Jin Yanzhu quickly got up and hugged her waist intimately, and whispered in her ear, don't you want your daughter? Turning around, Jin Yanzhu happened to be facing all the people. The Yangzhou troupe had known his true face for a long time, but they were surprised that he suddenly hugged a woman inexplicably.However, the people in the troupe here were instantly dumbfounded, and some even cried out. Eh?Little day? Big one's little day. The difference is that Xiao Ri'er always smiles so cutely that Mimi is so cute, but the older Xiao Ri'er in front of him has an extremely indifferent and gloomy expression on his face. If he goes out the door, his face will be the first to freeze. face. Huh?Mel?Man'er exclaimed, unable to move her body, she could only forcefully twist her head back.But hasn't she been There, Jin Yanzhu turned her around and pushed her to a small bed by the wall, on which a little girl with pink make-up and jade was sleeping.After coaxing her for several months, now I give her back to you, go cry yourself! He knew Man'er very well, as soon as he saw the girl, she rushed over and hugged the little girl, her sweetheart, and screamed non-stop. , I think I have already gotten used to this noisy environment. And Jin Yanzhu went back to the dressing table as if nothing had happened and took off the hair cover by himself, while everyone looked at him in a daze. Brother Jin, after all, Qian Rushi is even more jealous and hateful on her face.What the hell does this happen? ! go out. Huh?But Brother Jin, she go out! But, Brother Jin, you can hear how unconvinced and unwilling Qian Rushi is.You always have to tell me first, she is go out! ! !Jin Yanzhu suddenly turned around and roared.You all get out of here! There was a sudden earth-shattering roar, matched with his ferocious expression, without needing to say another word, everyone was screaming and scrambling to escape, only Man'er was left holding her daughter and secretly watching him change clothes. After a long while, she mustered up the courage to ask: Why did you come out to sing?Did the emperor give you any job yet?Think about it, that emperor is so great that he can actually let him do this kind of thing that she thought she would not do even if she killed him. Jin Yanzhu stopped changing clothes and stared at her coldly for a long while. Have you forgotten what you said yourself? Ga?Man'er looked bewildered. At the end of July last year, in the kitchen of the courtyard house where you lived, you told that little Taoyu. Well?Still at a loss. Seeing that she had completely forgotten about her, Jin Yanzhu's eyes began to cloud over again, as if he could faintly hear the rumble of thunder.Tell me, if I want you to come back to me, I have to be a more famous actress than Hua Yanqiu.He gritted his teeth and squeezed out words one by one from between his teeth. Man'er was stunned, and then yelled, Huh?how do you know?Immediately afterwards, I added a lot of superfluous words, but I was just talking casually at that time! His pupils turned cold, what are you talking about?Jin Yanzhu asked in a gloomy tone. Ga?ah!No, no, seeing his unkind expression, Man'er hastily made amends.I didn't just talk about it casually, but I was very serious, yes, very serious!Yes, yes, yes, that's it! The coldness disappeared, Jin Yanzhu nodded and continued to change clothes. Within two months, I will have everyone in the capital come to my play Huh?Why?Man'er blurted out to ask again, but when he saw him glaring at him again, he quickly changed his words: Ah!Yes, yes, everyone in the capital must come to your play, yes, it must be like this, it must be like this!but Why does it have to be this way? Damn it!What else had she said then? But why?Why are you doing this?Didn't he change his mind and think she was in the way? Jin Yanzhu stopped dressing again, but this time he didn't look at her, but stared at the jacket in his hand. end of April last year Um? I'm not in Beijing anymore Eh? ! ! I didn't come back from Xining until mid-July. After being dumbfounded for a while, and finally digesting these words completely, Man'er suddenly jumped up. You mean you mean it was all the fault of that bastard emperor? Jin Yanzhu didn't say a word, he put on his mandarin jacket and sat down to change his boots. Damn, it caused me to shed several buckets of salt water in vain!Man'er gritted her teeth, cursed and cursed, and, it's also your fault, why didn't you inform me when you went to Xining? Jin Yanzhu still didn't say a word, after putting on his boots, he got up silently and came to her, and stared at her quietly for a moment. Do you think it is not enough for everyone in the capital to watch my play? Man'er froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that he would never apologize to her directly, this was his alternative way of apologizing. Uh, it should be enough. In fact, until now, she still can't remember why he had to let everyone in the capital watch his play?That surprised me, I didn't expect you to be able to sing. Huang Kao liked to listen to operas, and Jin Yanzhu took the initiative to carry his daughter from her arms, which surprised Man'er for a long time.Therefore, each of our brothers has more or less learned opera. In other words, you have already played the role of a woman? No, the eunuchs are in charge of the danjiaoer. Eh?But you play really well! Jin Yanzhu didn't speak, and walked out, Man'er hurriedly followed. how do you know i'm here Xiaoqier. Oh, yes!How could she have forgotten Xiao Qi'er's overpass snake! Does anyone know that you are singing now? No, but soon everyone will know. But the dignified Prince Zhuang is a famous actress, is that plausible?You really want to do this? This is what you want. What she wants? But that was already half a year ago, except for a few special words, such as asking him to pretend to be a woman and sing in an opera, she has long forgotten what she said at that time! She sighed secretly, but even at this time, she still couldn't suppress the woman's stingy attitude. If the emperor also asks you to play a female role, will you agree? Jin Yanzhu snorted coldly.Unless I die! is that so?A smug and satisfied smile quietly bloomed on Man'er's lips. Enough, that's enough!That I miss you uh, you don't have to sing anymore, I will go back with you.Come on, come on, be grateful! Unexpectedly, Jin Yanzhu was not only ungrateful, but even glanced at her strangely, and then replied her lightly, no. Man'er was stunned.Well?Why?Does he like singing so much? Because of what you said. It's what she said again! Damn, what the hell did she say?
