Little Fujin

Qi Gege's marriage was quickly settled, and the wedding date was set at the end of the year.After all these years of expenses, there is not much left in the palace, and there is not much left for Qi Gege.Li Fangfujin gave Qi Gege all her dowry back then, and Zhan Xi didn't skimp on it, and added a lot to Qi Gege.

This is a considerable amount of wealth, enough for Qi Gege to live comfortably in the future.

At the same time, Wugege chose to study abroad.She left the palace with a decisive attitude and took care of everything.She took Fucha side Fujin out of the mental hospital, found another yard to watch her, arranged Fucha side Fujin's dowry when he came, and asked Zhanxi for a lot of money.

She said, Zhanxi will give her as much as he gave Qi Gege, and there will be a clean break in the future, and there will be nothing to do with it.

Looking at her, it seems that she doesn't plan to come back after this trip.

Zhan Xi did not refuse her, he was not stingy with giving people opportunities, after all, for him, this was an effortless task.

The weather is getting warmer, and sometimes at noon, people will have a thin layer of sweat on their bodies.Lin Ruan took the broken lilac and put it into a crystal ink bottle filled with water.

The phone rang suddenly, and Lin Ruan wiped her hands to answer the phone, and it was Meng Zhen's voice over there.

Meng Zhen sounded a little excited, and said, "Lin Ruan?"

"it's me."

"Are you free now? I invite you to the theater!"

Lin Ruan asked: "Why do you suddenly want to invite me to the theater?"

Meng Zhen suppressed his voice and said, "It's not watching a play, it's watching a play!"

"What do you mean?"

Meng Zhen slowed down and explained: "My cousin Bai Zhenzhu is getting married. Boss Song of the Immortal Tower sent my cousin a post after hearing about it, saying that he would give her a play. Do you remember? My cousin asked I sent something to Boss Song."

How can I forget this, Lin Ruan always feels a little uncomfortable when thinking about the Xianxian Tower, "I don't think you should go to the Xianxian Tower lightly, if you say to go to a theater, you might be watched by others."

Meng Zhen asked, "What is this saying?"

Lin Ruan said he didn't know, and said seriously: "Maybe the Tower of Immortals is unknown."

Meng Zhen was silent over there, and said: "Feudal superstition is a no-no, Lin Xiaoruan, you have a problem with your thinking!"

Before Lin Ruan said anything, Meng Zhen said, "Come on, let's not cause trouble this time!"

Lin Ruan hesitated for a moment, and agreed to Meng Zhen.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Ruan arrived at the gate of the Immortal Tower, and Meng Zhen was already waiting at the gate.He was wearing a light moon white gown and held a folding fan in his hand.

Seeing Lin Ruan, Meng Zhen came over, and the two walked to the door together.Lin Ruan took out a gold-sprinkling red post, which was given by Zhan Xi, which is equivalent to an identity certificate.

After entering the theater building, Lin Ruan Mengzhen was led upstairs by an usher.The Banxian Tower seems to have been renovated, and it looks more refined than when Lin Ruan came last time.

There are a lot of people today, and it's a bit stuffy as soon as you enter the theater.Lin Ruan looked around on the second floor, and it was almost full.

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen took their seats, and there was an embroidered screen in front of them. Lin Ruan looked carefully, and found that the embroidered picture was the Fu picture of Luoshen.Most of the boxes had their screens removed for the theatre, and only some of the female guests kept their screens behind.

"Today's play is "The Drunken Concubine," Meng Zhen said, "This is Boss Song's best play."

Meng Zhen seemed to have inquired about it, he peeled an orange for himself, and said: "The last time I came to deliver something to him, when I said that my cousin asked him to deliver it, his face immediately fell down. I At that time, I thought he hated my cousin very much."

Lin Ruan picked up the teacup and drank the tea. The tea in the cup was iced, and two red bayberries were placed in it, which neutralized the bitterness of the tea leaves and added a bit of sweet and sour taste, which is the way people in the south drink.

"My cousin and the Xu family have been married for more than a year, and the wedding will be held next month." Meng Zhen said: "And today is my cousin's birthday. Boss Song personally posted a post saying to give my cousin a play, you Wouldn't it be interesting to say?"

Lin Ruan thought for a while, and said: ""The Drunken Concubine" means that the concubine and her majesty agreed on a night banquet at the Baihua Pavilion. The concubine went from anticipation to disappointment to resentment. Is there any metaphor in this play?"

"I don't know." Meng Zhen suddenly patted Lin Ruan, and pointed him to a box opposite, "My cousin is here."

Lin Ruan nodded, looked at Meng Zhen, and asked, "Why are you so concerned about your cousin's affairs?"

"I'm curious," Meng Zhen said, "I thought it was strange when I saw Song Shuangqi last time, but my brother didn't let me ask any more questions. For my cousin, my sister-in-law thought that my brother and my cousin had something, so she paid close attention to me." About my cousin, entrust me to take a look."

Lin Ruan nodded, Meng Zhen saw that he was not in high spirits, and said, "Don't worry, we won't leave this box today, there must be nothing else."

Lin Ruan couldn't say it well, but she didn't want to spoil Meng Zhenxing.

The downstairs play started, and Song Shuangqi's Concubine Yang Gui was graceful and luxurious, with a graceful figure, and her eyebrows and eyes with makeup showed three points of nobility and coldness, but after drinking wine, she became seven points of spring, and she was all over the country.

There was constant applause from upstairs and downstairs, and many people threw things on the stage, silver bracelets, gold rings, some directly threw silver dollars, and some threw banknotes, making a lot of noise.

Meng Zhen and Lin Ruan simply removed the screen and leaned on the railing to watch the novelty.

"As expected of a famous actor." Lin Ruan sighed.

On the second floor, there are special receptions. No matter how many things the guests in that box give, they will be picked up on trays and then shouted out by the staff.In this way, the guests in each box are competing to give money, which brings some meaning of comparison.

Seeing that Lin Ruan's box was about to arrive, Meng Zhen asked, "Should we also give it? Is it inappropriate not to give it?"

Lin Ruan took out some money from his pocket, in bills of tens of dollars.Meng Zhen did bring money with him, he had just given out pocket money, and he planned to go to eat and buy things after the play.

Two people pooled 100 yuan and gave it to others.

Meng Zhen watched helplessly as the waiter took the money away, and said: "You are right, Banxian Tower is really ominous, last time I was beaten, this time I lost my money, I will never come here again."

Lin Ruan was lying on the railing to listen to the opera. He has some basics, he can understand and can tell good or bad.Meng Zhen walked up to Lin Ruan and stood beside Lin Ruan for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you feel that others are looking at us?"

Lin Ruan was taken aback, and looked around, as if those people in the box on the second floor were really looking this way.Lin Ruan stood up straight, a little dazed.

Meng Zhen approached Lin Ruan and said, "Is it because the money we gave is too little?"

Lin Ruan whispered, "I don't think so."

Lin Ruan took a breath quietly, raised his posture and looked back at these people, and glanced calmly for a week. These people did not meet his gaze, and most of them looked away.Lin Ruan ordered someone to put the screen back.

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief as the screen blocked other people's sight.Meng Zhen took a sip of tea, looked at the guy beside him, and asked directly, "Why do they all look at us?"

The waiter poured tea and said, "Those guests are probably curious about who is sitting in this box."

Lin Ruan understood that there is a way to know the number of seats in the Pear Garden.He asked the man, "Is this box of ours special?"

"Of course." The man said, "Our box is No. [-], because it is facing the stage, which is the best position in the whole theater building." The man pointed to the screen, "That's why only the screen in our box It is embroidered with Luoshen."

There is no shortage of powerful people in the Liyuan Bank, and it doesn't matter if they take a few thousand yuan and throw it down, but even if they haven't got the seat of the No. [-] box, it is obvious that the owner of the No. [-] box is more powerful than them. Powerful existence.

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen looked at each other and said, "Otherwise, let's go first."

Meng Zhen nodded. Although he had never seen Song Shuangqi and Bai Zhenzhu contact each other, he was afraid that something would happen if he stayed any longer.The two gave the man two two-dollar bills, and the man thanked him repeatedly.Before the two of them could go out, there was a knock on the door of the box. The man went to look, and went back to tell the two of them, "It's the guest in box No. [-]. They say it's Manager Hu from Swedbank, and they want to pay a visit to the two masters."

Meng Zhen asked Lin Ruan, "Does he regard us as some big shot?"

"It should be." Lin Ruan looked at the buddy and said, "Please help us back."

The man went, and there was a middle-aged man in a suit standing outside the box door, and a young man stood beside him, who looked like father and son.

The clerk said that there were no customers inside, so the middle-aged man took out his pocket and took out a handful of silver dollars.Compared with banknotes, cash is obviously more attractive.

"Please inform again." The middle-aged man said.

The clerk happily took the money and went. The young man was a little impatient and asked, "Dad, why do you have to come to see the guests in this box?"

The middle-aged man glanced at his son and said, "You are still young. Is the theater only for you to watch? , what kind of person is he? But he just knows a lot of big people."

The young man was obviously used to hearing this set of words, he leaned against a pillar on one side, standing still.

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen really didn't want to see anyone, and didn't want to stay longer, so they got up and wanted to leave.The door was pushed open, and the father and son were still waiting in front of the door, looking very determined.

Seeing Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen coming out, the middle-aged man hurried over and handed over his business card, "My surname is Hu, the manager of the Bank of Sweden. He stopped Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen and greeted them, "You two are so young, they are really young talents. "

He was very enthusiastic, and the more enthusiastic he was, the more embarrassed Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen would be. Manager Hu was justified and couldn't make sense, so he almost dragged Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen back to sit down and drink tea.

The young man beside him kept looking at Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen, and finally remembered who they were.He tugged at his father and said, "They are not big people."

Manager Hu stopped and looked at his son.

The young man looked at Lin Ruan, with sarcasm flashing in his eyes, "He is from the same school as me, and he works as a male concubine for rich people."

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen were stunned for a moment, and Manager Hu was also stunned, but he reacted quickly and let go of Lin Ruan all of a sudden, as if he had touched something unclean.

"I thought it was someone important, really..." Manager Hu took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, feeling unlucky in his heart.It's not very respectable for him to visit the guests in the No. [-] box. If they are really important people, and the benefits are greater than the loss of face, then forget it.It turned out to be a male concubine, what's the use of a male concubine?Manager Hu felt that it was not worth it, not to mention that there were so many people coming and going, how many people were watching his jokes.

Lin Ruan's complexion was not good. He is a person who doesn't know how to quarrel with others. Unless he has simulated it in his heart, he really doesn't know how to respond to unexpected situations.Meng Zhen was different, he sneered and said, "Hey, aren't you a young talent now?"

Manager Hu glanced at them, and reprimanded them in a posture: "I don't know what I am? I don't even see if this is the place you should come to!"

Meng Zhen immediately wanted to retort, when suddenly a deep voice came.

"Why don't you know? Where is not the place to come."

Lin Ruan paused and followed her gaze.The sound of the leather heels hitting the wooden floor is very pleasant, one after another, it seems to be stepping on people's hearts.

Zhan Xi came over, followed by Shi Ning.

As soon as Manager Hu saw Zhan Xi, his expression immediately became flattering, "Master Zhan!"

Zhan Xi glanced at him, "Isn't this the Deputy Manager Hu of Swedbank?"

"Master Zhan recognizes me?" Manager Hu said with a smile, "It's my honor."

Zhan Xi smiled inexplicably.

Manager Hu tried his best to talk to him, "A man like Mr. Zhan who manages a lot of things every day, he has time to come to the theater."

"I didn't come to listen to the play." Zhan Xi turned and looked over there.Manager Hu didn't know why, so Lin Ruan walked up to Zhanxi and called "Sir."

Manager Hu's complexion changed slightly, Zhan Xi looked at Manager Hu, and said, "This is Lin Ruan, my wife Fujin. He came here to watch a play today, and I'll take him home."

Manager Hu couldn't hold back his smile now. Zhan Xi looked at Manager Hu and asked, "I heard what Deputy Manager Hu was saying just now, but I didn't hear it clearly. Please repeat it."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Manager Hu's forehead. His son stood beside him and called him a little uneasy, "Dad."

Manager Hu turned around and gave his son a slap, and said, "I told you to talk nonsense here, and you don't even look at yourself. Is this the place you should come to?"

His son was caught off guard and slapped. Before he could understand, Manager Hu smiled apologetically to Zhan Xi: "I'm teaching my son a lesson, and the third master laughed."

Zhan Xi looked at Manager Hu casually, "According to me, educating children should be taught by precept and example. Manager Hu knows what he is, and his son will naturally know himself."

"What the third master said is true, what he said is true."

Shining took a step forward and said, "Deputy Manager Hu, please."

Manager Hu dragged his bewildered son away in a disheveled manner.There were also people watching this side quietly all around, Zhan Xi didn't care if they looked or not, and pulled Lin Ruan into the box.

Meng Zhen is very afraid of people like Zhan Xi, which reminds him of his old man, who has the temperament of a feudal patriarch.

So Meng Zhen quietly gestured to Lin Ruan twice, and said goodbye in a polite manner.

Zhan Xi pinched the back of Lin Ruan's neck, "Young master, why are you so stupid, don't you know how to talk back when someone scolds you?"

Lin Ruan was a little embarrassed, "He scolded too suddenly, give me some time and I'll know how to reply."

"Should I let you replay it in your heart?" Zhan Xi laughed and said, "Does it mean that people have to wait for you to get ready when they quarrel with you?"
