The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

Xie Yan arrived at the flower hall where Mr. Wen and his party were located a little later than Mr. Wen expected, and An Yujing, who was looking for someone, was nowhere to be found.

Mr. Wen looked at Xie Yan who came with the second young master of the Wen family, and was at a loss.

"Xie Xiaoyou, where did Miss An go? And Second Young Master Wen..."

Xie Yangang was with his sweetheart, and even kissed in broad daylight. At this time, his heart was tingling. Hearing Mr. Wen's question, he suddenly felt guilty. He didn't know how to explain it, for fear that the other party would see something.

"Miss An and my eldest brother left beforehand, and Ayan doesn't know the way, so I'll bring him over to find you." Wen Heng's expression was normal.

"Oh? Then you'll be troublesome." Old Mr. Wen knew a little about An Yujing and Wen Rui's affairs, so he laughed twice.

"Xie Xiaoyou, come with me quickly. I made a deal with them, saying that I met a junior who is astonishing as heaven, and this group of people is waiting to see you."

Mr. Wen warmly greeted Xie Yan to meet other people in the flower hall. Xie Yan took the time to glance at Wen Heng. Wen Heng gestured to him to see you in the evening. He smiled reassuringly and followed Mr. Wen to meet each other. people.

People in Mr. Wen's lineage are all his old friends or students. They have known each other for many years and have similar temperaments. Although Xie Yan seems to be soft-spoken, but with Mr. Wen's recommendation, no one despises him, but everyone is very curious.

Xie Yan's experience and knowledge are not representative of this teenage body. After talking with him, everyone secretly sighed in their hearts that Mr. Wen's words were really good. What's even more rare is that he has such knowledge at this age, but he doesn't show a trace of arrogance and impetuosity. Instead, he is calm and elegant, with a decent demeanor, which makes people feel like he is talking with a refined gentleman in his 30s .

In one afternoon, Xie Yan got to know Mr. Wen's social circle, made several friends, and made seven or eight dinner appointments. Some genuine gentlemen heard that his theater was about to open, and immediately offered to send a text Those who send texts, those who send paintings send paintings, and help him prop up the scene.

Of course, Xie Yan was happy to see the results, and soon made an appointment with three gentlemen who were good at articles. After the theater opened, they were asked to write a few promotional articles to publish in the newspapers to create momentum, and two old gentlemen who were good at painting were ordered to draw. .

Of course, Xie Yan would not just take gifts for nothing, he promised to reserve a box for these old gentlemen on the opening day of the theater and invite them to watch the play.

The value of the box for Bai Luoqiu's first play in Hankou is not measurable by money. It doesn't matter how many wealthy families can book it with a lot of silver tickets. These gentlemen love to listen to operas. See Xie Yan was so straightforward, she was even more happy, and said that after returning home, she could invite other friends to help the theater write promotional articles.

We in Huaxia have theaters for young people themselves, and we must support them!

Xie Yan also took advantage of the situation and said that as long as the box can seat, the old gentlemen can also bring their friends to watch the theater together - anyway, there is only such a box, and there are many people and small people are just watching the show.

Xie Yan chatted happily with the old gentlemen, and during the period, he also met an acquaintance, Gu Junzhi who often went to the teahouse to listen to books.

Xie Yan still remembers that Mr. Wen first knew about Hankou Romance because of Gu Junzhi. Mr. Wen attracted Mr. Wen to read the manuscript in An Yujing's hand and wrote the short commentary. Xie Yan may not be able to win Mr. Wen's favor.

To some extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Junzhi is Xie Yan's nobleman.

Xie Yan had some impressions of Gu Junzhi, but what he didn't expect was that Gu Junzhi also recognized him.

"Mr. Xie." Gu Junzhi is a middle-aged man wearing a silk mandarin jacket. "When I first saw you in Yunlai Teahouse, I thought you were not simple. As expected, you are now the big boss."

Gu Junzhi should have known from Mr. Wen that Xie Yan was the presenter, but he could see that Xie Yan still didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't say much.

"Mr. Gu was joking. Compared with my small business, what you do is the real blessing for all people. How can I take it easy for you?"

"Little Mr. Xie is too modest." Gu Junzhi patted Xie Yan's shoulder meaningfully. The Education Bureau is still waiting for "Mr. Present" to promote novels in adult schools.

Xie Yan smiled unconsciously, and then listened to Gu Junzhi, "By the way, have you been to Yunlai Tea House recently?"

"No, I'm too busy these days, what's wrong?"

"It's been a few days since I came to the teahouse, and there hasn't been a gentleman to tell a book, and the little girl who sang has never been here again." Gu Junzhi likes listening to books, and knows these things well, "It is said that the owner of the teahouse can't continue, and he wants to go to the teahouse. The teahouse is sold."

Isn't the owner of the teahouse transported to Li Tianwei?

Xie Yan heard from Shopkeeper Liu that the Yunlai Teahouse is Li Tianwei's private property and does not belong to the Li family. Li Tianwei is still locked up by them. Who wants to sell the Yunlai Teahouse?

Is it because Li Tianwei's wife and children are struggling, or is it that Li Tianwei's brothers are going to attack his things?

Either way, it proves that the Li family is in chaos, which is exactly what Xie Yan and the others want to see.

Several thoughts flashed through Xie Yan's mind, but on the surface he remained calm, "Is that so? What about shopkeeper Liu? Have you found a new home? I'll go and have a look when I have time, shopkeeper Liu has been kind to me after all. "

"That's what I meant when I told you that." Gu Junzhi knew that Xie Yan had understood his hint, "Opening a theater in a place like Furong Street won't be possible without some old-timers. I have been working on Furong Street for more than ten years, and I am familiar with all the things. Anyway, the teahouse will be gone when I bring it. Isn’t it ready-made for you to invite him to help?”

Xie Yan and Gu Junzhi thanked them, kept this matter in their hearts, and planned to go and have a look tomorrow.

Xie Yan chatted with other people in the flower hall for a long time, and even played two games of chess. It was getting dark early in winter, and the light outside dimmed before they knew it. The butler of the patrol mansion came to invite them to the east building for a banquet , the play of the Dechun class is about to begin.

Xie Yan had the honor of being on both sides of Mr. Wen and Wen's family, and the seat was arranged on the second floor of the East Building by the window, which was one of the best places to watch the show.

Although the lights were turned on in the east building, and there was light from the gasoline lamps on the stage outside the window, the lights of this era must not be compared with modern ones, and the interior was much darker than during the day.

As soon as Xie Yan was brought to a seat by the window, a person followed him and sat next to him.

Xie Yan turned her head and saw the figure of the person who had just parted at noon, her eyes lit up unconsciously, and she was about to say something, but the other party quietly pressed the hand under the table and made a silent gesture.

Only then did Xie Yan see Mrs. Wen not far behind them, and she was frightened for a while. Fortunately, he didn't say anything serious just now, otherwise Mrs. Wen would catch him on the spot and he would be finished.

Although he is already with Wen Heng, Xie Yan still hasn't figured out how to face Wen Heng's family with the current relationship.

With the thinking of this era and Mrs. Wen's temper, he might be kicked out of the Wen family... If he changed his gender, it would really become an eight o'clock drama for future generations.

Wen Heng looked at Xie Yan's profile in the dim light, knowing from his own understanding that his lover must be thinking about something wildly again.

He really wanted to tell Xie Yan directly, don't worry, our whole family already knew about us, but he was afraid that Xie Yan would become angry, and secondly, he didn't say much in the end, he just squeezed the other person's hand under the table .

Sometimes it is also very interesting to watch the clever and unparalleled lover occasionally fall into the wrong place.

Xie Yan didn't know what Wen Heng was thinking, he was afraid that someone would see the hand they were holding under the table, so he took it out calmly and patted Wen Heng, but just as he put his hand back on his lap, Wen Heng Heng held it lightly.

Do elementary school students fall in love?Hold hands quietly!

Xie Yan complained in her heart, looked up and looked around, they were located in an inconspicuous corner by the window, the attention of other people in the building was attracted by the scene that was about to start outside the window, no one noticed that the light was not shining The bright spot shows a nervous couple holding hands under a table.

Xie Yan pursed her lips, didn't look at Wen Heng, and quietly held the other's palm.

……

Fang Xunxuan, as the protagonist of the birthday banquet, appeared late, and after saying hello to everyone in the building, he sat in the middle. At the same time, the sound of the opening gong sounded outside the building. The common people cheered, and the guests sitting on the east tower were also shocked.

The good show started, and today Bai Luoqiu sang the traditional old play "Magu Xianshou".

Everyone knows that Bai Luoqiu's best play is "Prosperity and Hate", which he created himself. It's a pity that he didn't see it, but it's understandable.One is that Shangguan Wan'er died in the execution ground at the end of "Prosperity and Hate". Better pressure?

However, although "Magu Xianshou" is an old play that all troupes know, Bai Luoqiu, a famous actor of this level, still sang his own unique artistic style, which made the audience mesmerized and felt that today was not in vain.

Xie Yan was half a fan of Peking opera in his previous life, and he was very interested in it. This is the first time he has really watched Bai Luoqiu sing an opera since he came to this world. Watching the performance on stage.

If the period of the Republic of China was the golden age of Peking Opera, then Bai Luoqiu was the top figure in the golden period. It was not by luck that he came to this era. Xie Yan would never have seen such a wonderful Peking Opera performance in his life.

Xie Yan's attention was all focused on the stage, but Wen Heng was not that interested in Peking Opera, but he had a more beautiful scenery in front of him.

It was the first time that he could look at Xie Yan in an open and aboveboard manner without fear of being discovered. Wen Heng didn't want to waste a second, everyone looked at Bai Luoqiu on the stage, only Wen Heng, whose eyes never left the young man beside him.

The dim light turned into dancing light and shadows on Xie Yan's face, his dark eyes revealed focused and bright joy, and the colorful shadows on the stage in the distance kept flickering in his pupils, like a vivid and harmonious oil painting of light and shadow .

And Wen Heng was the only one watching the painting.

He imprinted all the good things of his youth into his mind, and he will never forget them year after year, and treasure them into every chapter of the rest of his life.

"Yao Chi received the Holy Mother's training,

Turn around and take a bottle of wine.

Go forward and pay respect to Xiangu,

Pour the golden pot of jade liquid carefully.

Drinking a cup can increase happiness,

Drinking a cup can prolong life.

May the immortal master celebrate the ten thousand year anniversary,

May the immortal master live longer than the Antarctic star.

In an instant the wine is all drunk,

May you live forever like this every year. "

……

The drama on the stage reached its climax, when Magu, played by Bai Luoqiu, sang this birthday speech, Shi Shiran waved Bichen in the direction where the patrolling party was, symbolizing Magu's blessing.

Fang Xunxuan laughed a few times, got up and went to the window, and waved to the people to distribute the prepared rewards to the theater troupe and the elderly and children watching the theater outside. People in the east building also got up one after another, saying something Speaking of auspicious words.

Xie Yan and Wen Heng got up following Daliu, and were squeezed into the dark place behind the window. Seeing that they would definitely not be able to get out at this time, they simply stood together with peace of mind, and unconsciously pulled their hands together.

Wen Heng looked down at Xie Yan and said something to him, but the indoor environment was too noisy to hear clearly.

Xie Yan raised her head with wide eyes, and was about to ask loudly what the other party said, but Wen Heng lowered her head and kissed him the next second.

"..."

This kiss was sudden and insipid, neither of them dared to kiss for too long in public, and they separated almost as soon as they touched each other.

They looked at each other and smiled amidst the fireworks and cheers, Xie Yan didn't blame Wen Heng for his abruptness anymore, instead, he reached out and gently wrapped his arms around his shoulders, rubbing his chin on it.

"What-what-?" Wen Heng mouthed Xie Yanbi.

Xie Yan smiled, but did not answer.

He recalled many lonely times in his previous life, recalled the sleepless nights in the prosperous past, recalled his stubbornness and sadness...

It's good to have you, Xie Yan took Wen Heng's hand and said silently in his heart.

……

The birthday banquet at the Xunxuan Mansion lasted until close to the early morning, and many guests who came from outside lived in the vacated guest rooms of the mansion, while Xie Yan went back by the Wen family's car.

In the second half of the birthday banquet, Xie Yan was affected by the atmosphere and couldn't help drinking a few glasses of beer wine. Originally, these wines were nothing to him, but he obviously overestimated the alcohol capacity of this body, and he drank a few small glasses of white wine Started to feel dizzy.

Wen Heng worriedly helped Xie Yan into the car, asked him to sit by the window, closed his eyes to rest, and sat down himself.

Except for Wen Yanhui, the other four members of the Wen family came to today's birthday banquet, but after Wen Jiulou's birthday banquet, Fang Xunxuan left him to talk about the matter, and Wen Rui went to send An Yujing home, so the way to the Wen family Only Xie Yan, Wen Heng, Mrs. Wen and the driver were sitting in the car in the compound.

After the driver and the others were all seated, they started the car. The road in front of the patrol mansion was not very smooth. Xie Yan was stunned and knocked his head on the car door.

Seeing this, Wen Heng felt a little distressed, so he could only quickly take Xie Yan into his arms and let him lean on his shoulder.Xie Yan got up very early today, and was already sleepy by now, and fell asleep as soon as her head sank and her lips sank.

Mrs. Wen, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help turning her head when she heard the movement behind her. Seeing the rather romantic scene in front of her, she couldn't help laughing.

"Finally caught up?" she asked.

"Yeah." Wen Heng nodded without any embarrassment.

"When will you get married?" Mrs. Wen directly asked her most concerned question.

Wen Heng was a little speechless, "I'll discuss it with Ayan later, don't worry."

Mrs. Wen stared at his arms around Xie Yan's waist for a second, then suddenly asked, "Are you going to sleep together tonight or—"

"Mother!" Wen Heng interrupted the disrespectful question, "You are not afraid that Ayan will leave tomorrow."

"That's true." Mrs. Wen felt a little regretful, "Anyway, I'm sure about this daughter-in-law. A Yan is not an ordinary child. You have a certain idea in mind to settle the matter earlier, otherwise I will feel a little uneasy."

"I know, don't worry." Wen Heng looked down at the small half of Xie Yan's face in his arms, and said softly.

……

On the car leading to Wen's compound, Xie Yan had already fallen asleep with joy and satisfaction, but in the Li's house in Hankou, the atmosphere was far less warm than here.

Mrs. Li had passed away a few years ago. The old lady of the Li family sat in the ancestral hall with her two sons and three daughters-in-law, their faces solemn and silent.

"Is it true that there is no news from the boss?" Mrs. Li asked in a hoarse voice.

"I've searched all over Hankou City, but there's nothing there. People seem to have disappeared suddenly." The second child of the Li family wiped his face.

"Did he say anything the day he left? Did he go to find someone?" Mrs. Li turned her head, "Boss wife?"

The woman who had been named held her head crossed, and quickly lowered her head when she heard the words, "The head of the family didn't tell me anything, just..."

"What is it?"

"Did he go to look for Bai Luoqiu?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall became much colder in an instant.

"Bai Luoqiu, hum, Bai Luoqiu." Mrs. Li said the name a few times, with a bad tone.

This Bai Luoqiu really thought she was a joke, and when she arrived in Hankou, she dared to send people to make trouble in front of their Li family's gate, saying that she would pay back the money a hundred times, but her two unworthy sons were greedy for money and accepted the money. Gaining the prestige of an actor, throwing it into the face of the ancestors of the Li family!

Bai Luoqiu didn't even think about what she was like ten years ago. If she hadn't shown kindness back then, she would have let someone kill this little bitch back then!

"It can't be Bai Luoqiu. He's just an actor for others to play with. How could he hurt the boss? I think we have to ask the foreigners about this." After a long silence, Mrs. Li said, "Second and third , you go quietly to the Japanese consulate tomorrow to ask Mr. Kaoru Tanaka, remember to bring some gifts, don’t be rude.”

The second child and the third child of the Li family looked at each other, and they could see a bit of excitement from each other's eyes.

Li Tianwei was in charge of everything in the Li family before, the old lady valued him, and the other brothers couldn't do it if they wanted to get involved.If you want them to say, what is so great about Li Tianwei, isn't it just that he got into a foreigner's car and secretly worked for them?Wouldn't it be okay to replace them? !

Before they accidentally learned that the foreigner wanted Li Tianwei to deal with Bai Luoqiu, the two brothers discussed it and decided to go to Bai Luoqiu's house to make trouble. Dayton training.

Li Tianwei is so anxious, isn't it because he is afraid that his brothers will also catch up with foreigners? !

This time when Li Tianwei disappeared, Mrs. Li relented. They finally had a chance to show their strength. Of course foreigners wanted to see them, but Li Tianwei—it was better not to come back.

"Mom, let's go to Mr. Tanaka Kaoru. He will definitely not like ordinary gifts. You see, our brothers don't have much money..." The second son of the Li family rolled his eyes a few times and said deliberately.

"Then what do you want to do?" Mrs. Li asked.

"I remember that elder brother still has a teahouse." Li Laosan chimed in, "I went to the teahouse to look around a few days ago, and found that the business inside is fragmented and unsatisfactory. It is important to save elder brother right now. Why don't we take care of it first? Is this teahouse sold for some money?"

The business brought to the teahouse is not fragmented at all, Li Laosan is just talking nonsense with his eyes open for money, but how does the old lady Li, who has lived in the deep house for a long time, know this?

"Feng He, what do you think?" She asked her eldest daughter-in-law again.

"...Mmm, um." Wang Fenghe's lips trembled a few times, and she uttered a voice, "It's all up to mother and brothers to decide."

"Okay, the second and third, you can do it according to your own needs." Mrs. Li yawned, "It's too late today, I'm going to bed first, Feng He, take good care of Brother Qi, don't let the child run around. "

"Brother Qi is already asleep, mother, you should go to rest too." Wang Fenghe quickly stood up and said.

However, what they didn't know was that outside the ancestral hall, a seven or eight-year-old boy was lying on the door and listening to something, his eyes rolled around, and when he was mentioned by the last few people in the room, he backed away unwillingly. Stepping forward, he spit in the direction of the house, and left quietly.
