Little Fujin

"Sorry, it's a performance right now, so you can't enter the backstage." The receptionist looked at the two of them, both of them were still wearing school uniforms, and Meng Zhen carried a bag with the box in it.

"You two can sit first." The receptionist said again.

The two of them don't have tickets, so they don't have seats.Meng Zhen felt guilty and glanced at Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan straightened up, glanced at the receptionist lightly, and said: "You are not needed here, you can go about your business."

The receptionist paused, as if he was intimidated by Lin Ruan's behavior, his eyes wandered between the two for a moment, then he bowed slightly and left.

Meng Zhen patted Lin Ruan on the shoulder, "Yes, you!"

"Okay, okay," Lin Ruan said in a second, "Hurry up and go."

Meng Zhen followed Lin Ruan downstairs, turned around the corridor, and accidentally bumped into someone.Meng Zhen hastily apologized, but the man took a step and stopped them both.

From what Lin Ruan saw, he was a young man in a suit and a bright red bow tie, followed by three servants, with a dandy atmosphere all over his body.

"Isn't this the young master of the Meng family?" The man looked at Meng Zhen.

Meng Zhen took a step back, "So it's Young Master Qian."

Lin Ruan asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Meng Zhen replied angrily, "I have grudges."

Young Master Qian looked at Meng Zhen's appearance as a student, and sneered, "Master Meng also came to listen to the opera? Dressed like this, could it be brought by the teacher?"

The three servants behind him laughed in unison.

The father of this young master Qian was in the Secretariat of the Executive Yuan. He came out and opened two shops by himself, buying and selling foreign fabrics.Not long ago, all the foreign fabrics that Zhanxi brought back were sold to the Meng family, so he held a grudge and made the Meng family a lot of trouble.

Meng Zhen didn't intend to say more, but just smiled, "I still have something to do, so I won't disturb Young Master Qian's performance."

Speaking of Meng Zhen and Lin Ruan were about to leave, a servant behind Young Master Qian came out to pull Meng Zhen.Meng Zhen raised his hand to shake him away, but he didn't want to throw away the bag he was carrying, and the box inside fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Meng Zhen gasped, quickly picked up the schoolbag, and opened the box to check.Fortunately, he had learned from the past, and carefully wrapped the jade bracelet with a soft cloth, so it didn't break all of a sudden.

The jewels in the box showed a corner, and Young Master Qian frowned when he saw something.

"What did you take?"

Meng Zhen glanced at him, "What's none of your business?"

Lin Ruan stood beside Meng Zhen, watching the four masters and servants vigilantly.They were in the corner of the corridor on the second floor, the lights were dim, and only the applause of the spectators came like a tide.

As soon as Young Master Qian waved his hand, the three people beside him snatched Meng Zhen's box away without any explanation.

"You are unreasonable, you will steal my things in public!"

Young Master Qian took out the topaz ring, looked at it, and said with a sneer, "I robbed you, I think you stole from me! The ring I gave to Miss Bai, why is it with you?"

Meng Zhen was taken aback, Lin Ruan didn't expect such a coincidence.Lin Ruan quietly approached Meng Zhen, and said, "Your cousin has a wide range of friends."

Meng Zhen nodded in agreement, and taking advantage of Young Master Qian's unpreparedness, he snatched the thing back and said, "This thing was given to me by someone else, and we didn't steal it. Don't be unreasonable!"

"Given by someone else?" Young Master Qian looked Meng Zhen up and down, and said, "Could it be that you are the little boy raised by Baizhu?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Meng Zhen glared at Young Master Qian, eager to get rid of him.

The servant behind Young Master Qian stopped them, "Bai Zhenzhu uses my things to support the handsome boy, how can it be so cheap!"

Meng Zhen Lin Ruan was stopped, unable to advance or retreat, Meng Zhen had no choice but to say: "I'm not some bad boy, Bai Zhu is my cousin, there's nothing wrong with her giving me something!"

Young Master Qian was dubious, he knew that Meng Zhen was unlikely to be a bad boy, but why did Bai Zhenzhu give him something?

Downstairs another play started, probably the highlight, and the applause almost knocked the roof off.Young Master Qian looked downstairs, and suddenly thought of something, "I see, the things are not for you, but Bai Zhuzhu used them to reward these singers."

Meng Zhen was startled, he didn't expect him to guess so right.

What Meng Zhen and Lin Ruan didn't know was that this was not an uncommon event in Young Master Qian's circle, and the matter of Bai Zhenzhu and the famous actor of Banxianlou had always been a shadow, so he guessed it all at once.

Young Master Qian looked at the costumed actors in the stands, then at Meng Zhen, with a sneer on his face, "A bitch and an actor are really a perfect match."

Before he could finish laughing, Meng Zhen went up and punched Young Master Qian.This punch went straight to the face, and Young Master Qian's face was instantly bruised.

Meng Zhen's face turned livid, "Can you try saying something again?"

"What's the matter if I just said it?" Young Master Qian snorted, but before he could finish speaking, he was punched by Meng Zhen again.

Those little servants came to their senses at this moment, and gathered around to make a move.Lin Ruan went up to help Meng Zhen, the two of them must not be able to beat the four on the opposite side, and they fell short in a while.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Ruan kicked Young Master Qian twice, and then dragged Meng Zhen to run away.

They ran down from the second floor, and the movement was slightly louder, and everyone in the hall heard it.Lin Ruan and the others ran towards the crowded place, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it behind them.

Lin Ruan yelled while running, "Help, murder! They have guns!"

As soon as they heard that there was a gun, the hall became chaotic in an instant. The well-dressed people looked around blankly. Once they saw a person move, the rest of the people followed.

The people on the second floor also came out. They didn't know why, they only heard guns and immediately became uneasy.Where there are guns, there is bound to be great chaos. They feel that their lives are precious, and they don't want to explore the truth, and they are going out in a hurry.In an instant, the upstairs and downstairs were in chaos.

In such a mess, the opera has not stopped. The luthier who pulls the strings is very calm.

The same goes for the librarians on the stage, this one is "Wujiapo", Wang Baochuan on the stage is pointing at Xue Pinggui in disguise and scolding,

"I don't want this ingot of silver. I will make money for a family with your mother. Buy silk, make clothes, buy white paper, paste white flags, make jewelry, make bead curtains, and become a dutiful son in the world."

Even if she was fleeing for her life, Lin Ruan was amazed by the clear and beautiful voice.He sneaked a glance at the stage.This Wang Baochuan is a person who is still calm except for the piano master. No matter how chaotic the audience is, he will not be affected in any way.

Once the play begins, it must be sung to an end.

It took a long time for the turmoil down there to calm down. All the guests had left, and it was the theater troupe who came out to maintain order.Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen did not run away, but were caught by the troupe, and they stood in a messy hall.

The embarrassed Young Master Qian stood on the other side, looking like he was going to make a move, but he was stopped by the troupe.Even so, he was still viciously threatening, "I will definitely not let you go."

Lin Ruan turned around and brushed the melon seeds off the chair, Shi Shiran sat down, crossed her legs, and looked at Young Master Qian casually, "You won't let us go? I can't spare you yet."

Meng Zhen glanced at Lin Ruan in surprise, seeing that his demeanor had become completely different between these few actions, and even seemed a bit like Zhanxi.

Lin Ruan pinched Meng Zhen quietly, and Meng Zhen immediately restrained his expression.

"Do you know who I am?" Lin Ruan raised her chin slightly and put her palms on her knees.

Seeing him acting like this, Young Master Qian hesitated.After all, this is the Forty-Nine City, one brick hits ten people, and nine of them have backgrounds.

"You... who are you?" Young Master Qian said, "I've never seen you at a banquet."

Lin Ruan sneered, "You deserve it."

Young Master Qian looked at Lin Ruan and hesitated even more, but he thought, Lin Ruan was with Meng Zhen, so he could be some kind of big shot.

He straightened his tie and said, still a little unconfident, "My father works for the Secretariat of the Executive Yuan."

"Secretariat of the Executive Yuan?" Lin Ruan glanced at Young Master Qian, "How high an official is he? Then why didn't I see you at the Gu family's ball?"

"The Gu family's dance?" Young Master Qian asked in surprise, "Which Gu family?"

Lin Ruan looked at him, raised her eyebrows slowly, "Which Gu family are you talking about?"

Young Master Qian was already sweating in his heart at the moment, the Gu family held a dance not long ago, the scale was not big, and all the people who were acquainted were invited.If Lin Ruan was an ordinary person, she really shouldn't know.

Young Master Qian looked at Lin Ruan and then at Meng Zhen. Although he didn't fully believe it, he believed it eighty percent.He forced himself to say harsh words, "Just wait, I will never let you go."

After all, he led the people there, and there were still two footprints on his trouser legs.

Seeing him leaving, Meng Zhen was overjoyed, and went to see Lin Ruan, only to find that Lin Ruan still maintained that appearance.Just as he was about to ask, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked up to the two of them.

He is the class leader of the Immortal Tower.

The class leader looked at Lin Ruan, first cupped his hands, and then said: "Young master, you don't need to pretend in front of us. In terms of acting, any child here has been acting longer than you."

Lin Ruan paused, looked at the class leader, then at Meng Zhen, the aura disappeared in an instant.

He stood up and nodded to the head teacher, "We didn't do it on purpose."

"Is it intentional? My drama of Banxianlou was also ruined by the two of you."

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen looked at each other and said with difficulty: "We will pay."

"Compensation?" The class leader snorted, "Do you know that for today's play, I invited the most powerful luthier in Forty-Nine City, just to play "Wujiapo" with Boss Song. You know how hard it is for him to hire ?"

The head teacher said: "This master is a banner man with a noble status, so he doesn't touch these things easily. According to the old rules, playing at home by yourself is considered boring. But if you can't get it on the stage, it will really be a low-level one." gone."

The more he talked about Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen, the more they lowered their heads. The class leader sighed, "I messed up this time, and I don't know when I can catch up with the third master again. I am in a good mood and I am willing to show my face."

Lin Ruan raised his head suddenly, "Third Master? Which Third Master?"

"Which third master is there in Sijiu City?" The class leader gave Lin Ruan a look.

Lin Ruan looked at the stage in disbelief, and Shining came out from the side of the stage, smiling a little helplessly, "Mr. Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while, you made a lot of noise."

Lin Ruan didn't dare to speak, Zhan Xi was on the side of the stage, blocked by the red curtain.At this moment, he put away the piano and stood up slowly.

The class leader hurried forward, "Third Master, you have worked hard."

Zhan Xi was wearing a light white gown, and glanced at Lin Ruan lightly.

Lin Ruan almost stopped breathing in fright.

Zhan Xi: Are you moved to see me at this time?

Lin Ruan: Don't dare to move, don't dare to move.
