Chapter 32 The Thirty-first Chapter

When Mei Shuangxiu heard about a small word, she simply said to Yu Ruixiang: "Say it! Tell me! What's the problem?" Yu Ruixiang turned her head to one side, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Just say it, what are you afraid of?" Then he said to Li Dongqing: "It was also raining heavily one day, and Miss Mei couldn't go back, so I left her at my house, with us. Sleeping in one bed. Outside the window, the rain was dripping, and it sounded like the door was closed, so I lit the wine stove, boiled water to make tea, and grabbed some walnuts from the poplar, eating and gossiping. Ms. Mei talked about future words..." Li Dongqing laughed and said: "What is future words?" Yu Ruixiang also laughed, and said: "Future words are future words, do you understand?"

Then he said: "I said, it's good to keep celibacy. Many people are stubborn when they are in school. Once they form a family, they are always bullied by others. Otherwise, they will be stumbled by children. Mies Mei said again: "'I'm not afraid of being bullied'..." Mei Shuangxiu didn't wait for her to finish, then said: "Nonsense, when did I say that.Didn't you say that day, oh, there is a way, the other party asked him to be younger than me, let's be an older sister, and things will be easy'.Are you right? "Yu Ruixiang took out a handkerchief, held it in both hands, covered his face, and smiled in the handkerchief. After a while, he took off the handkerchief, pouted and said: "It's because of this sentence that you are so stubborn and keep saying The little son-in-law is gone. "Before finishing a sentence, Mrs. Yu Sanyi answered outside the door first: "Okay!Who wants a younger son-in-law?I'm here to match you. "Speaking and walking in, he said again: "Wow!You have been talking here all day, so it turns out that you are discussing about getting a younger son-in-law. "Mei Shuangxiu is used to quarreling with them. It doesn't matter. Li Dongqing is the most stable person. After hearing this, she blushed. Mrs. Yu Sanyi also felt that the words were too serious, so she said: "Let's go , let's sit over there, and the meal is ready. "

Speaking of which, Mrs. Yu Sanyi walked ahead and led them to a small living room.There is a small table in the middle of the living room with four sets of cups and chopsticks on it.There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a gray cloth jacket and trousers, with a narrow waist and short sleeves, who was carrying several dishes and putting them on the table.When she saw the guest coming in, she blushed with shame, forced herself to keep her voice low, and called out Misme.Mei Shuangxiu nodded with a smile and said, "I'll introduce you to a friend, this is Miss Li Dongqing." As he spoke, he pointed at Li Dongqing.The girl nodded to Li Dongqing.Mei Shuangxiu said to Li Dongqing again: "This is Miss Skellyn." Then Skellyn rubbed her hands together for a while, as if embarrassed, and said to Li Dongqing with a smile: "Please sit down. I have something to do, I can't accompany you." After finishing speaking, he left.

Li Dongqing was very strange in her heart, wondering who this person is, the lady is not like a lady, and the girl is not like a girl.Judging by his appearance, he must be from Yu Ruixiang's family.But Yu Ruixiang's family members are all extremely luxurious, why is she dressed so poorly?If it is not a relative, then it is not possible to live in Yu's house; if it is a relative, I saw her work with my own eyes, wouldn't it mean that I am in the company of a servant?There was this doubt in my heart, but there was no way to break it.After a meal, I didn't see Shi Kelian coming out, and I saw that Mei Shuangxiu didn't mention it, so of course it's inconvenient to ask.

At this time, Mrs. Yu San asked: "After dinner, shall we go to the dance? Or to the movies?" Li Dongqing said: "I don't know how to dance, so let's go to the movies." The woman came, wearing a black tweed cloak, her face was powdered white, and a string of pearl rings on her ears tremblingly stretched to her shoulders.Li Dongqing recognized that this was Yu's second concubine, and nodded her head in greeting.The third aunt Yu asked: "Boss, why are you wearing a cloak at home?" The second aunt Yu said: "Damn Tailor Li, he made this dress that doesn't fit my waist and is two or three points too big. I wear it for Look, isn't it shabby?" Li Dongqing smiled and said, "You can settle for two or three cents, but you can't tell." The second aunt Yu said: "You don't know, the salary is a special increase. Shouldn't he be doing well?" As she spoke, she gently and slowly took off the cloak from under Ruyi's head that was on her shoulders, and handed it to Mrs. Yu Sanyi with the collar.At this time, the inside of the cloak was flipped out, and the red light shone into the eyes, which was dazzling.Mei Shuangxiu said with a smile: "This is very beautiful, what kind of material is it?" Mrs. Yu San said: "This is also Shuangsige. But its color is new, and there is some golden yellow in the red. It is said that this is called Indian Red, it’s very fashionable now." Li Dongqing said: "How much did you make for this dress?" Second Aunt Yu shook her head slightly and said, "Not much, more than sixty yuan for the material, and twelve yuan for the material." Handmade." Li Dongqing said: "What? Such a clipped cloak costs twelve yuan to be handmade." Mrs. Yu Second Aunt said: "So!

I said he didn't do well. "Li Dongqing smiled and said:" I want to say something like a countryman, the weather is very warm, and there is no need for it to keep out the cold.If you say it looks good, it doesn't necessarily look good. "The second aunt Yu said with a smile: "Is everyone new to this kind of thing!I can't tell why. "Li Dongqing smiled and said:" I usually can't think of its benefits, so you are just the reason for the word "new". "Mrs. Yu San said:" Don't discuss it, let's go to the movies. "Yu Ruixiang said:" I haven't changed my clothes yet! "Speaking, he brushed his face with both hands, and glanced at Mrs. Yu Sanyi. Mrs. Yu Sanyi said: "Okay!Let's go together. "Turning back, he smiled at Mei Shuangxiu:" How about it? "Mei Shuangxiu said to Li Dongqing:" You go too. "Li Dongqing smiled and said:" I won't go, I won't go. "He said in a slightly low voice:" I am an old man, unlike other young people who love to groom. "

Mei Shuangxiu said: "Go and have a look, their dressing room here is very interesting." As she spoke, she took Li Dongqing's hand and followed Mrs. Yu Sanyi all the way. After walking through a few rooms, it was Mrs. Yu Sanyi's bedroom. There was a small full-length mirror on the side of the closet. Yu Ruixiang walked to the mirror and pressed on the frame. The mirror became active and pushed forward. It turned out to be a glass door.Inside the door is a small room, surrounded by white paint, with the same color of tiles on the ground.On the southeast, north, and south sides of the wall, there are three large mirrors, and under each mirror is a dressing table with white lacquer inlaid with magnetism.On a table, there are more than a dozen mirrors in a row, each as large as the other, and they are all silver holders.A table, long and short, large and small, square and round, displays many cosmetics.On a table, there was a pair of silver-bottomed enamel vases and boxes containing fragrant soap and the like.When a person enters this room and looks around, he really feels like a man.Next to the mirror, there are many silver hooks hanging in a row, some hanging clothes, some hanging hair brushes, and some hanging cloud brushes, just like opening a foreign goods store, displaying many odds and ends.There is a swivel sofa with screw buttons next to the table. People sitting on it can look at whatever mirror they like, which is very convenient.On the corner to the north, there is another small door half-opened, and a look inside is the bathroom.Li Dongqing said: "This room is well furnished, and it is very convenient to comb your hair." Mrs. Yu Sanyi said: "It doesn't cost much, but lay a few good tiles on the ready-made room, install a soda pipe, and spend a lot of money." It’s only a few hundred dollars. As for these things, they are indispensable.” While speaking, Mrs. Yu Sanyi first put the water pipe on the washbasin over there, put a basin of water and washed her face first.Then I picked out a few cosmetics on the table and used a little.Then Yu Ruixiang and Mei Shuangxiu all groomed themselves in the mirror.

Li Dongqing only picked up a bottle of cream, dug a little with the fingers of his right hand, and put it in the palm of his left hand, then stretched out two palms and rubbed it for a while, then rubbed it on the mirror with a pat.Yu Ruixiang took a powder box, lifted the lid, and brought it to Li Dongqing. Li Dongqing shook her hand and said, "No need." Yu Ruixiang smiled and said, "You are so young, why are you so honest?" Mei Shuangxiu said "I'm already a gentleman, so I have to put on a Taoist appearance." Just as Li Dongqing was about to argue, Mrs. Yu Sanyan pulled out the lower drawer of a glass cabinet, turned her head and said to Yu Ruixiang, "Come and see, I Which pair of shoes should I wear to go out?" When Li Dongqing stretched her head to look, she saw a drawer of deep red and light purple, colorful and colorful inside.Yu Ruixiang continued, "The light green Hunan embroidered ones are just fine." Mrs. Yu Sanyi said, "Okay! I'll just listen to you." While speaking, she took out a pair of light green high-heeled shoes with green thread on her head An embroidered hibiscus with flowers and butterflies on both sides.Li Dongqing said: "Nowadays, everything is new, everything is old-fashioned, and it has become the old saying, red embroidered shoes." Mrs. Yu Sanyi said: "It is different after all. The shoes in the past, how can there be such a big one? What about the flowers?" Li Dongqing said, "I embroidered these flower shoes by myself, did you buy them?"

The third aunt Yu said with a smile: "How can I embroider! Speaking of this account, it is also the province. It costs two to three hundred yuan a year for shoes." The third aunt Yu said while she was putting on her shoes.He and Yu Ruixiang changed their clothes again, and then they took a car with Mei Shuangxiu and Li Dongqing to the True Light Theater. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Ms. Skellian walking in with the help of an old lady.Yu Ruixiang called out first: "Coincidentally, grandma is here too." Only then did Li Dongqing realize that it was their grandmother, so she and Mei Shuangxiu went over to call out the old lady.The old lady said with a smile: "The movie flashes and flashes, foreigners come and foreigners go, I don't like to watch it." She patted Shi Kelian on the shoulder and said: "Our silly girl, she likes to watch it." This thing, I can’t come alone, so I dragged me all the way by using my old signboard. If I knew you were coming, I wouldn’t come.” Saying that, everyone walked upstairs.The waiter here recognized them as a family, and had already opened a box for them to sit in.Everyone sat down, Li Dongqing looked at Shi Kelian, and saw that it was still the same gray cloth jacket, only an extra black skirt was tied on.She sat next to the old lady, smiling from time to time, tucking her braids from her ribs to her chest, stroking her hair with both hands, without saying a word.I just feel that she is a little Wuyiren, cute and pitiful.Li Dongqing likes this kind of person the most, so he purposely sat down with Shi Kelian and talked to her, because he asked: "Which school does Miss Shi go to?" Just learn to write and write." Li Dongqing said: "Studying at home is not as orderly as going to school and easily distracted. I think it is better to go to school." Shi Kelian said: "Yes, I think so too." Having said that, he paused for a while, as if he had something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it.Li Dongqing didn't ask any further questions because she thought there might be some other reason.Then he changed his words and asked, "How long has Miss Shi been in Beijing?" Shi Kelian pointed to the old lady and said, "I came to Beijing with my grandmother, and it has been three years." Everyone watched the movie and stopped talking. After watching the movie, Li Dongqing clung to Shi Kelian's hand and said, "Whenever come to our place to have fun, the place is a little narrower." Shi Kelian said with a smile: "Definitely go." Saying that, they got up and walked out of the cinema.Mei Shuangxiu and Li Dongqing went home separately, but Mrs. Yu Sanyi and his wife went back in the same car.

Skellyn walked back to her room with her grandmother.After the old lady sat down, Shi Kelian went to take off her skirt, looked down, and saw a hole the size of a copper coin in the skirt, and said involuntarily, "Oh! How did you do this?" said the old lady "Is it torn?" Shi Kelian handed it to the old lady outside and said, "Look!" As he said, he threw the skirt on the old lady outside, and sat on the chair next to him, blushing and bulging. Mouth, eyelids lowered, silent.The old lady picked up her skirt, leaned under the electric light, looked at her eyes, and said, "This is a burning hole, it must be from a cigarette butt. I said, when I was watching a movie, I smelled a little bit of it." burnt..."

Having said that, when I looked up, I saw Skellyn sitting on the side.Said: "Auntie! What's the matter with you?" Shi Kelian remained silent, stroking the checkered pattern on the chair circle with his hands.The old lady outside said with a smile: "That's strange, you burned your clothes and got angry with me." Shi Kelian said: "If you don't go to the movies today, there will be no such thing." The old lady outside said: "It's me Do you want to go?" Shi Kelian tilted his head and said, "Then, then, don't you know that you won't let me go?" The old lady stroked her head and said, "Is there such a reason in the world?"Shi Kelian couldn't help but also lowered his head and laughed.The old lady outside said: "Your child always has such a temper. I'll be here all day, and my old signboard will protect you. When I close my eyes, let's see what you do?" His mind was touched, and he bowed his head in silence.The old lady said: "It's not worth burning a skirt. I live in someone else's house, eat and drink other people's food, and often ask people to mend their clothes. How can I say this? I have to ask you to patch it up." It's worn." Shi Kelian said: "It doesn't matter if you have a patch, as long as you don't show your body." Speaking of this, Yu Ruixiang walked in, and said to Shi Kelian: "What do you mean you don't show your body?" Shi Kelian Said: "Look, a new skirt has another hole burned." He said and handed the skirt to Yu Ruixiang.Yu Ruixiang smiled and said: "I said something, and you will be angry again later. I have two skirts here, new and unworn, so you can pick one at will.It's fine if they don't ask, but if they ask, you just say that you bought it with the poker money you got last time, and it's over. "Skellyn said:" I'm not a young lady, it doesn't matter if I put a patch on my skirt.They beg for clothes like thieves, but they are uncomfortable to wear. "Yu Ruixiang said with a smile to the old lady: "Grandma, listen, I kindly gave her a skirt.She made some sarcastic remarks about me. "The old lady outside said: "This child is also, a dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know what to do.The more your cousin protects you, the more awkward you are with her. "Such words made Shi Kelian laugh too. Yu Ruixiang patted her on the shoulder and said: "Don't make a sound, let's go secretly tomorrow, let's book a room to listen to Yu Xuemei. "Skellyn said:" I don't like to listen to operas, so I won't go. "Yu Ruixiang said:" You don't know, Yu Xuemei will be on stage at Chunming Theater tomorrow, and I will send her a pair of flower baskets.Must go tomorrow.It's not good to sit in scattered seats, and it's boring to reserve a compartment for one person.I asked Ms. Mei and Ms. Lee to go together, why don't you go too? "Skellyn said: "Then, I won't go anymore.You are all rich ladies who hold horns, how can I climb up?Sitting in the box is also strangely shabby. "Yu Ruixiang said:" That's it! You go for one.Because of Mi Sime and her, even though they agreed casually, it was uncertain whether they would go or not.If you don't go, I will be alone. "Skellyn said with a smile:" Don't you have a group of people in the troupe?What are you doing to lure people outside the regiment? "Yu Ruixiang said:" They both send flower baskets and reserve boxes, how can they join me?You just go, if you think you don't have any clothes, I'll lend you any clothes. "Skellyn said:" I was dressed poorly, and no one stopped me from listening to the opera. What do you want to borrow clothes for? "Yu Ruixiang said:" This is over! "After all, Yu Ruixiang insisted on her going, and she had no choice but to agree. At one o'clock in the afternoon the next day, I had breakfast.At two o'clock, Yu Ruixiang and Shi Kelian came to Chunming Theater together.When I entered the theater, I still performed the first few pan operas.Mei Shuangxiu and Li Dongqing didn't come again.Yu Ruixiang sat in the box for a while, and was singing Nantianmen in Bangzi tune on the stage, which was very boring, so she said to Shi Kelian: "Sitting is boring, let's go to the backstage to play." Shi Kelian never After going to the backstage, I happily agreed to go. The two of them walked out through the emergency exit and went backstage.I saw a large group of girls chatting in the yard around an old man selling candied haws.Some of these girls wore long gowns, some wore double-breasted gowns, some wore net scarves on their heads, and their faces were flushed with rouge.The backstage door was ajar, Yu Ruixiang pushed the door in, and Shi Kelian followed.Out of thin air, a colorful and strange head stretched forward, which startled Skellyn.Picking up that weird head, he started talking, saying, "Miss Yu, long time no see." Only then did Skellian remember that she was alone. When I looked at the person carefully again, he was wearing a short white calico jacket with a large collar and red trousers. He was a little fat man, wasn't he also a girl?Yu Ruixiang held hands with her, smiled, and led Shi Kelian in without saying anything. Shi Kelian saw that there were tall and large wooden boxes all around the house, and on the boxes were wooden shelves with many beards and hats hanging on them.The girls in the room were running around like shuttles.At a glance, she saw a girl of sixteen or seventeen, with only a single gown left. A man was holding a cotton waistcoat about an inch thick and putting it on for her. The girl stretched out her right hand, and the man was short , and tied the waistcoat straps under her ribs. After fastening, the girl stretched out her left hand, and the man turned to his left side to do so.After the waistcoat was put on, the man faced his mouth again, and squatted down to tie the girl's belt.Shi Kelian looked at it dumbfounded, thinking that their singers really don't care.When I was watching, someone shouted from behind: "Excuse me, excuse me." Turning around, I saw a clown riding a wooden stick forward.There was a young boy in costume standing on the road.The clown pushed him, flicked his sleeve, and said: "Get out of the way." The little boy leaned back and almost fell down.Standing still, he slapped the clown on the head and knocked the hat to the ground.He said in his mouth: "I will take revenge for that arrow!" The clown picked up his hat and cursed: "Forget you bastard, why did you beat me up?...your mother." Xiaosheng said: "You bastard, don't you Cursing,...fuck you." When he said that, a man came over and dragged the clown to the entrance. He said in his mouth: "Go to the field! Go to the field!" He was dragged and shoved out.Skellian took a closer look at the backstage, and found it to be a mess, which was very interesting.Yu Ruixiang said: "Let's go over there to find Yu Xuemei, it's very messy here." They walked to the east end of the stage and saw Wang Xuemei sitting at a horizontal table.There are many cosmetics on the table, such as rouge snowflake powder, and the table is set up.Yu Xuemei wore a small short jacket, supported her temples with both hands, and looked in the mirror with her head down.Behind her stood a man who was combing her hair.Yu Ruixiang walked behind her, she had already seen it in the mirror, she smiled and said, "Miss Yu is here, thank you. I'm playing a show, but I don't have time to entertain." Yu Ruixiang said: "It doesn't matter, you play your part." Yu Xuemei said with a smile: "Today's flower baskets are not too many, but about twenty. In addition to the flower baskets, there are also a few silver shields, which is troublesome , put it on the stage, you have to move another table to set it up. Miss Yu, have you seen that? There are curtains hanging on the railings of the box, and these are also gifts." Yu Ruixiang smiled and said, "That's the name of the actor. Let me ask you, Miss Liu invited you to dinner at home the day before yesterday, why didn't you go?" Yu Xuemei said: "I'm really sorry. I happened to catch up with the church meeting that day, and I was too busy to go. When there is no show one day, I must invite Miss Liu to play small cards at my house. Miss Liu will come today Is it already? If you come, please ask her to come backstage, I have a few words to say to her." Yu Ruixiang said: "Did you send her a photo?" Wang Xuemei said: "No, if you send it She must give you one." Wang Xuemei was talking, a palace dress with a coiled dragon high bun was combed up, and the man came out with a box of hairpins, rings, beads and flowers, and put them on for her one by one.After you wear it, put on your clothes.Finally, a red satin embroidered dragon dress is added.Yu Ruixiang thought about it, remembering Miss Liu once said that she made a yellow palace robe for Yu Xuemei, could it be this one?Take a look there, it's also Lingzi's. If you count the embroidery work, it may not cost more than a hundred yuan. No wonder she and Miss Liu are on better terms again.Yu Xuemei was acting while talking to Yu Ruixiang.A ten-year-old girl came running and jumping, followed by a young student in a costume.When Wang Xuemei saw it, she shouted to the little student in costume: "What are you chasing her for?" The little student said: "Your little Qiaoer, you are really naughty. I was hungry, so I bought some buns to eat, and she asked me Yes. I said it was stuffed with mutton, you don’t want to eat it. After hearing this, she snatched my whole plate of buns without asking any questions, and poured them into the slop bucket.” Wang Xuemei clapped her hands Touching Xiaoqiao'er's head and laughing: "You child, you are so naughty. It doesn't matter if you feed it to the dog upside down. What do you have to do with it in the slop bucket?" How about it, do you want her to pay? She is a child, and you are making trouble like him." The boy raised his big sleeve and wiped his nose, then stood there dumbfounded without saying a word.That Xiaoqiaoer walked over, kicked the little boy's feet, and said, "Fuck you, kid!" Wang Xuemei just smiled and didn't say a word.The little student was kicked by Xiao Qiaoer a few times, he only dodged left and right, but didn't make a sound. When she was about to speak, Wang Xuemei was behind her and pushed her with her hand. The young boy was wearing high-soled boots, and accidentally fell forward, fell to the ground, and hit his head on the theater box with a thud.When Yu Xuemei saw it, she burst out laughing. The little student stood up, raised his hands, wiped his head, wept, and walked away slowly.At this time, the opera had already sung to the third example, so Yu Ruixiang took Shi Kelian to the front desk to watch the opera.Shi Kelian asked: "Yu Xuemei hit that girl who pretended to be a niche just now. I was not convinced when I saw it. Why didn't you persuade me?" If they don't hit anyone someday, can we persuade her every day?" The two were talking, and then went to the box again, only to see Li Dongqing and Mei Shuangxiu already sitting there.Mei Shuangxiu said: "We've been here for a long time. I saw tea being made and fruit plates placed here, so I guessed that you're here. You must have gone backstage." Li Dongqing said, "Can you introduce me? Meet Yu Xuemei?" Yu Ruixiang said: "It's an easy thing, what can't be done? Now she's putting on a show, so she doesn't have time. When she takes off her pretense, we go to her house to play together. "Li Dongqing said: "Where is her home..." Before she finished speaking, Shi Kelian sat beside her, knocked Li Dongqing's rib twice with her hand abductor, and then looked at Li Dongqing with her eyes.At this time Yu Ruixiang was looking at the stage, but didn't see it.Li Dongqing understood and didn't continue, and Yu Ruixiang didn't pay attention either.After a while, there was a layer of flower baskets on the entrance of the stage, and five tables were placed behind the flower baskets. There were several glass boxes on the tables, and there were silver shields inside.Yu Xuemei was dressed in an ancient costume, surrounded by several actresses, bowed first to the front of the stage, and then bowed to the left and right sides.The applause from under the stage sounded like a machine gun firing, accompanied by shouts like thunder.Yu Xuemei saluted and went in.Li Dongqing asked Yu Ruixiang, "What kind of show is this? Why did a fairy come out and salute the people under the stage." Yu Ruixiang smiled and said, "Fool! Don't talk about it, this is someone who came out to welcome the guests and gave them flower baskets Thank you, how can there be such a play?" After a while, Yu Xuemei officially came out to act.There were seven or eight people sitting in front of that stage. Ever since Yu Xuemei came out on stage, they kept applauding. Of course they would say hello to Yu Xuemei when she sang, but they would also say hello to Yu Xuemei when she said a confession.In the middle, Wang Xuemei raised her sleeves to cover her face, turned her head and spit, and they also applauded.And after the applause, three or four people raised their hands higher than their heads and applauded there.Li Dongqing frowned and said: "It's really noisy. It's so annoying, I don't want to listen to it." Shi Kelian said: "This group of people is so poor, I can't sit still, let's go together." Li Dongqing said: "Shexia is not far from here, you can come and sit at my house." Shi Kelian said with a smile: "Very good." Yu Ruixiang said: "A good show has just come out, why do you have to leave?" Shi Kelian said: "Listening to a play, I heard strange voices applauding for a while. "Speaking, stand up and leave.Seeing her standing up, Li Dongqing also stood up and said, "Miss Mei, please stay for a while, and Miss Shi and I will go first." Happy thing, where is Kenyi.Mei Shuangxiu said: "You just let them go. It's like that Dagu book, you always felt that it was tasteless and you had to go. Isn't that the same?" Yu Ruixiang softened herself after hearing her analogy, and said Let her go both. They hadn't walked much before they met Yang Xingyuan. He had a book under his left arm and was standing on the side of the road. He took off his hat with his right hand and nodded.Li Dongqing stopped, and nodded with a smile, but her eyes were fixed on the book in his folder.The inscription on the book is "Excellent Good Ci". When she saw this, she suddenly remembered the few poems Yang Xingyuan sent yesterday, but she couldn't think of anything to say about it. She just smiled, and then suddenly asked One: "What book did Mr. Yang buy?" Yang Xingyuan said: "It's not a book. Because I took a walk in the park in the afternoon, I brought a book to read." Li Dongqing smiled, and then said: "Oh!" After that, he smiled again. They looked very pleasant to each other and stood silently for a while.Li Dongqing nodded her head and said, "Goodbye." Then she and Shi Kelian walked away.When Li Dongqing was talking to Yang Xingyuan, Shi Kelian walked aside and stood under the glass window of a shop, looking at the shoes displayed in the window. At this time, she and Li Dongqing were walking and talking all the way. Wei Wei said: "Just now, Mr. Yang is very knowledgeable, but he is a scholar. I didn't know him, because I often met him in the place where I was teaching, so I knew him." Shi Kelian didn't ask her, He didn't pay attention, and when he spoke, he didn't feel that he had arrived at Li Dongqing's house in a while. Li Dongqing first led Shi Kelian to meet her mother, and then led Shi Kelian to sit in her room.Shi Kelian looked at her room, the beds, tables and chairs were all made of rattan and bamboo.Near the window, there is a row of clay flower pots, several pots of asparagus, and several pots of four seasons crabapple, all of which are green and lush, making the room more quiet.Shi Kelian said with a smile: "Although we only met twice, we are very speculative. If I'm not flattering people in person, I admire people like Miss Li the most." Li Dongqing said: "I also feel very speculative. I I remembered something. Just now I told Miss Yu that I was going to Wang Xuemei's house, why did Miss Shi stop me?" Shi Kelian was holding a cup of tea to drink, she put her mouth on the teacup with a smile, and put her head almost Go low to your arms.Li Dongqing said: "What is Miss Shi laughing at? Could it be that I shouldn't have said this when I said that I would go to Wang Xuemei's house." Shi Kelian said: "That's not true. I thought that this actress's family is not an ordinary family. , it is inevitable that dubious people will come and go. Although we are here for fun, it is easy to cause trouble. Besides, the word that women play roles is spread. It is always a news in the society. People know it, and it is meaningless. You Didn’t you see that Yu Xuemei had those flower baskets on the stage today? Nine out of ten of those flower baskets were given by men. They knew Yu Xuemei as well as we did, of course, we can go to Wang Xuemei’s house, they Can't we go? If we meet them when we go, don't you think it's very inappropriate? So when I heard Ms. Lee was going, I touched you with my hand to stop you from going. "After finishing speaking, Shi Kelian took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, exposed a blush on his cheeks, struck up a conversation and held the hem of his clothes, and then said with a smile: "I can be a little presumptuous here. "Li Dongqing found out in the past two days. She has no father and no mother. She lives with her grandmother at Yu Ruixiang's house. Yu Ruixiang's mother is her aunt. Now that her aunt has passed away, Yu Ruixiang's housework is A wife of Xu Xian is in charge of everything. She eats at the uncle's table and is under the control of her step-aunt. When Li Dongqing thinks that he is a person without a mother and a father, and a person who hides a painful history in his heart, and Wen Kelian is exactly the same. I used to think that she was just a little bird and pitiful, but now I listen to her words, she is very knowledgeable and likes it even more. She said: "What Miss Shi said is very reasonable, it was my carelessness ,did not think of.You make my cousin, but she is a lively person and likes to play, in fact..." Li Dongqing couldn't continue talking, so she poured tea for Shi Kelian, and stopped for a while. Shi Kelian continued: "I also advised her to play less.Just play, sometimes.Reluctantly agreed at the time, turned around and forgot. "Li Dongqing has always been reluctant to talk about people. When I got to this point, I didn't go any further. I just talked about things about everyone's hometown with Shi Kelian. Shi Kelian has never met someone who can talk with her so freely. Today we talk about She was very happy and kept talking about going back at six o'clock. Li Dongqing originally wanted to keep her for dinner, but Shi Kelian insisted on refusing. Li Dongqing thought that maybe she had other difficulties, so she let her go. After Shi Kelian left, Li Dongqing thought of her background and was more pitiful than himself, but looking at her, he treated her calmly, feeling that he was not as free and easy as others.I also thought that she had missed two sentences in the book and complained in confusion. If she could write lyrics and compose poems, she might even lose her life.From this point of view, it is really good that words are a medium for worries.Thinking of this, I recalled a few poems sent by Yang Xingyuan, and out of thin air, I had such thoughts: "I met a haggard Yang Xingyuan, and I also met a wandering Shi Kelian. It can also be seen that things are gathered together." The more I thought about it, the more restless I became, and I sat sideways on a chair beside the table, propping my chin with my left hand, and twisting the corner of the skirt with my right hand, I was in a daze.Suddenly Wang Ma shouted outside: "Miss, it's time to eat. Why isn't the light on in the room, are you asleep?" One sentence reminded Li Dongqing, and when she looked up, the room was dark.There is a piece of white snow on the top of the table. Looking outside, it turns out that it is a half moon, shining into the room from the corner of the room. The pots of asparagus bamboo and crabapple in four seasons on the table cast their shadows on the table.Li Dongqing thought it was very interesting, so she simply remained silent and sat under the moon window.After a while, Mrs. Li shouted again: "What's the matter, is Dongqing asleep?" Li Dongqing laughed and said, "I didn't sleep. I'm sitting here." Mrs. Li said, "Why don't you light the lamp?" "You are not an idiot, what are you doing sitting in the dark room? Come out to eat." Li Dongqing said: "I am lazy to eat, I am not very comfortable, wait for me to have a good rest." Mrs. Li said: " You don't eat, but sit with a lamp." Li Dongqing said: "Mom, too, you can just eat." Mrs. Li said: "Look, she's tired of asking me about this." After finishing speaking, he didn't make a sound.Li Dongqing sat alone under the moon shadow by the window, resting her chin on her hands, and sat quietly for several hours until the moon shadow was oblique, then she lit the lamp, read a book for a while, and then went to sleep.I went to bed early at night and woke up early the next day. When I opened the door, I didn't wake up.But I felt that the air was very fresh, so I couldn't help walking into the yard along my steps.Looking up at the sky, it was clean and there was no cloud at all. Behind the yard and the tall trees next door, they were all green and glistening with half red and half yellow sunlight.Probably the sun was still just out.There are several pots of pomegranate trees and oleanders in the yard, and there are still very fine dew drops on the leaves and flowers of the trees. After standing in the yard for a while, I felt very energetic, so I found a broom and cleaned the yard.She thought to herself: "From now on, I will be like this every day. First, I get up early to get some fresh air. Second, I can use this to work." After she finished sweeping the floor, Wang Ma woke up.She came out to have a look, and said, "Ah! Miss got up so early! How do you wear this little clothes? "Li Dongqing looked down and saw that she was only wearing a single coat and a waistcoat. Then she felt a little chilly on her body, so she went into the room to add clothes. As soon as she entered the room, she couldn't help feeling sick and threw up all over the floor. Wang Ma hurried over to look at it, and said, "What's the matter? "Li Dongqing said:" It doesn't matter, I'm a little dizzy, maybe I got wind just now. "Wang Ma said:" It's early!Just sleep for a while. “李冬青觉得有些撑持不住，便扶着床睡了下去，一直睡到上午十点钟还不能起来。小学里的书是不能去教了。何太太那里补习功课也不能去了。勉强爬了起来，写了两封信告假。她写给何太太的信是：今天起了一个早，想运动运动，不料我这没出息的人，反而中了寒，生了病了。今天不能来，你自己写两张字罢。 草草写了几行字，一张八行，还没写完。然后又在纸尾附了两行道：“何先生均此致意，杨先生来时，代为问候。”写完，找了一个信封，写了地点，注名何太太慕莲启。原来这个名字，也是李冬青代她取的，含着有出于污泥而不染的意思。 信写好了，便叫王妈送到邮政局里寄了。 信到何家的时候，恰好杨杏园在那闲坐。原来这一个多月，和何剑尘校订一部诗集，天天要来的。何太太看了信，便递给何剑尘道：“李先生病了，还附笔问候你们呢。”何剑尘看了，又特意送给杨杏园看。杨杏园道：“这人虽然是个女学生，完全是个旧式女子，一年到头，总是多愁多病的温柔样子，太不解放了。”何剑尘笑道：“这种人，和你很对劲，怎么你倒批评她不好起来？”杨杏园道：“我是一个落伍的青年，哪个人和我对劲，正是社会上所不取的。”何剑尘笑道：“其辞若有憾焉，其实乃深喜之。”杨杏园也就笑了。
