Chapter 55 The 54th Narrative Ceremony, Light Qiu for Flowers, Pray for Fate

But it is said that Yang Xingyuan came back from seeing off customers at Changxindian, riding a donkey, thinking about it on the donkey's back.One didn't pay attention, rolled off the donkey's back and fell on the grass.The donkey driver hurried forward to help him.Yang Xingyuan felt dizzy and dizzy, so he simply closed his eyes and slept on the ground.He shook his hand at the donkey driver and told him not to move.The donkey driver was also stunned, for some reason, he kept holding his thigh with both hands, and opened his eyes to watch. Yang Xingyuan rested on the ground for a while, her mind was settled, she stood up slowly, and dusted off the dust on her body.

After walking a few more steps, I felt nothing.The donkey driver said: "Sir, didn't you fall?" Yang Xingyuan said: "No fall. You see, the birds in the sky, one after another, flew over their heads with the sun on their backs." It's getting late, let's hurry up Let’s go.” Yang Xingyuan got on his donkey again and hurried northward.Along the way, no one spoke, only the brass bell on the donkey's neck and the clattering of hooves.The donkey drove into the city, and it wasn't very dark yet, so Yang Xingyuan hired a rubber cart and went home.When I got home, I was very tired. I just washed my face and didn't even drink a cup of tea, so I undressed and went to bed.

That night, I woke up in the middle of the night with a fever.Early the next morning, I couldn't get up.But when I fell asleep at eleven o'clock, I heard the servants murmuring privately outside the window, and thought to myself: "Could it be that they are laughing at me? Anyway, I must struggle today. If I am really sick, I will be sick again tomorrow." Thinking of this, he got up again.I didn't get up in the afternoon, I just held a book and lay on the bed with my clothes on to read.At three o'clock, I had rested for a long time and seemed to be in better spirits. I lost my book and was about to go for a walk in the yard.There was only a sound of footsteps, and two people walked in after talking.There was a man who said: "Mr. Yang has gone out, there is no one." Hearing that voice, it was Fu Jiaju's voice.While talking, the two people had already walked into the outside room.Yang Xingyuan wanted to go out, but she was afraid of something secret, so she deliberately hid behind to talk, if she broke through when she went out, everyone would be embarrassed.So he simply fell asleep, pulled the quilt, and covered half of his body.Of the two speakers next door, except one was Fu Jiaju, the voice of the other was also very familiar, as if he was someone who knew how to meet a few times.I only heard Fu Jiaju say: "How is this good? I spent too much money this month, and now I have to spend another four or five hundred. Where do I have it?"

Can you give me an idea? "That person said:" There are too many, I can't help it. "Fu Jiaju said: "Since everyone has nothing to do, let's call it a day, I'm quitting. "That said:" Hey!What are you talking about? How much people have sacrificed for you.At this time, if you say no, not only will you be too tolerant, but even I will have no face to face others. "Fu Jia Kui said:" What did he sacrifice for me? "The man said:" Think about it.If he doesn't praise him for you, he won't lose the show.If you don't leave the theater, you won't break with the backstage and stay at home for so long.Now that he is about to take the stage, he is only waiting for your outfit, but you have said it well, quit, this stumble will make him stumble! "After finishing speaking, it was quiet outside and there was no sound. After a pause, the man said again: "Speak, can it be solved without making a sound?" "

Fu Jiaju said: "I'm not ignoring it. Think for me, where can I get this sum of money?" At this point, his voice became quieter.After chirping and chirping for a while, Fu Jiaju smiled and said: "The idea is useful. If the family finds out about this, what should I do?" .” There was only a bang, as if the clothes were being clapped with hands.Then Fu Jiaju said loudly: "Come on! I will do as you say." After finishing speaking, both of them went out. Yang Xingyuan was originally in a bad mood, but he didn't know what to do with this matter, so he didn't know what they were doing, so he didn't bother him.I got up slowly, still leaning against the window to read a book, and after a while, I heard someone singing loudly in the front yard: "Hate Yang Guang and kill the loyal and slanderous officials in power." Then I remembered.Fu Jiaju has a friend named Qian Zuoyi, who likes to sing "Nanyangguan" the most.Moreover, every sentence of his is backwards, and at the end he has the accent of the word "ah wah", which is something that others can't learn.It was Qian Zuoyi who heard the singing, and he must have been the one who spoke in this room just now.He and Fu Jiaju are the best friends, and all of Fu Jiaju's drama knowledge is also taught by him.When the two of them are together, it is naturally a matter of drama.No wonder you said just now that there are opera singers, and you have a style of clothing.At this time, Qian Zuoyi and Fu Jiaju were singing "Wujiapo" duet again, shouting loudly, so that people had no thoughts at all, so they had to throw away their books and sit quietly.He sat quietly until dinner and then went to the front to eat. The Fu brothers and the one surnamed Qian also sat at the same table.Although Yang Xingyuan was full of worries, he was afraid that his brothers would know, so he still talked and laughed freely.After eating, he went back to his room to wash his face, and Fu Jiaju followed.In the bag, he took out a manuscript, put his hands together and made a bow with Yang Xingyuan, said with a smile: "Mr. " Fu Jiaju said: "What is opera eulogy, isn't it!" , I will definitely not come to trouble in the future." Yang Xingyuan said: "I reported to the Deputy Zhang's drama review column, which was almost arranged by the people in your incense club. A few days ago, our manager protested against me because of this matter. I think I am also a member of Xiangshe, do you think I am wronged or not? I didn’t eat the mutton, and I made a mess. I am the matchmaker in the village. What are you trying to do?" Fu Jiaju smiled and said: "I introduce Mr. Yang and him Let's see each other, okay? If you can join our incense club, we welcome you. But the people here are all educated, Mr. Yang may not be willing to come." Yang Xingyuan smiled and said: "Who is he? You don't want to give me For these benefits, I am not Mr. Pianpian Zhuoshijia, and I am not worthy to do these romantic things. You stated that it is only this time, and I will board with you again." Fu Jiaju heard that he quickly handed the manuscript to Yang Xingyuan, and continued Made a few bows with him.He asked again: "Can I see the newspaper tomorrow?" Yang Xingyuan said: "Tomorrow is too late, the day after tomorrow." Fu Jiaju thanked repeatedly, and then walked out.

Qian Zuoyi had been poking his head outside several times already.At this time, he asked Fu Jiaju, "Have you agreed to board?" Fu Jiaju said: "The answer is yes, but it has already been explained, and this is not an example." Qian Zuoyi said: "I still have two poems here. I copied them out, and you simply give them to him to have a copy." Fu Jiaju said: " Forget it, that poem of yours was also learned by June Day, and it has been stored in the stomach for a long time, and it will smell a little bit when you take it out." Qian Zuoyi blushed and said: "You are always very harsh when you criticize others. Actually In any case, it's better than your second master's new poems." Fu Jiaju laughed and said, "Don't attack him either. For the first time, I sent your poems to Mr. Yang for publication. He said he would rather publish one more poem. Back to the opera review, this poem is nothing more. Do you think, is this what my second child said?" Qian Zuoyi said: "This is something you made up, I don't believe it. If he doesn't publish my opera review and poem, it doesn't count What, I can also find a major newspaper to publish." Fu Jiaju said: "Where do you send it to publish?" Qian Zuoyi said: "I will go to the great drama critic Chen Huangnei.

Based on his advocacy, it may not be ten times stronger than other newspapers. "Fu Jiaju said:" How do you know him? "Qian Zuoyi said: "I didn't recognize him at first.I have a friend who often contributes to him, and I know him well.My friend said that as long as I treat him to a meal, it will be easy. "Fu Jiakui smiled and said: "That's good, if I can exercise, I'd rather come out to treat guests.It's just that there is one layer, and I'm afraid he won't come. "Qian Zuoyi said: "With my friends exercising inside, it's not impossible not to come.Besides, I heard my friend say that Chen Huangnei loves to take advantage of others.Ask him to eat for free, drink for free, listen to operas for free, and watch movies for free.However, Mr. Yang will not publish your drama reviews because of his face, so why do you need to find someone else? "Fu Jiaju said:" No way!If you submit an article with him, if you promote a little bit, he will change it, and it will be nothing.And it is a great favor to send three articles to one article.This is one of them.Second, when he publishes drama reviews in newspapers, he always scolds a lot. If you give him a compliment, if there are scolding submissions in two days, he will publish them as well.Now if we can exercise Chen Huangnei, let's exercise thoroughly.To make an appointment with him, in his newspaper, only praise is allowed, no scolding is allowed. "Qian Zuoyi said:" I'm afraid it won't be easy. "Fu Jia Kui said:" As long as there is an introduction from an acquaintance, you can always exercise.Apart from my treats, just ask Tuberose to give him some presents directly. "Qian Zuoyi said: "If you do that, you may have some hope.Otherwise, tell Wan Xiangyu to beg him to be my godfather, and he will definitely praise her. "Fu Jiaju said:" I object to this. "

Qian Zuoyi smiled and said, "Look at how jealous you are." Fu Jiaju said, "It's not that I'm jealous, it's not because of relatives, but who would do that if I ask someone to be my father? We should compare our hearts, and we shouldn't let Tuberose Do this kind of thing." Seeing him like this, Qian Zuoyi didn't insist on his idea.At that time, I bid farewell to go back, and made an appointment to meet that friend tomorrow, and wrote back in the evening. Qian Zuoyi's friend is Ming Qiugu, a bannerman, who doesn't have any job, but eats tiles.That day Qian Zuoyi came to look for him, and saw him standing at the gate, leaning on the light pole, holding a pigeon in his right hand, slapping his left hand, raising his eyebrows, blocking the sun, looking into the air, unable to look around.In the sky, a group of pigeons with ringing bells are flying around in circles.Qian Zuoyi stepped forward, and was about to answer him, when he raised his right hand, and there was a slap, and the pigeon in his hand had already flown into the air and joined the group.Suddenly a shadow flew straight in front of his eyes, which scared Qian Zuoyi into a big jump. When he looked at Ming Qiugu, he covered his shirt sleeves, looked up at the sky, and couldn't stop smiling.Qian Zuoyi said: "Brother Qiugu, what a joy." Ming Qiugu looked back and saw that it was Qian Zuoyi, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Please sit at home, please sit at home." Qian Zuoyi said: "I heard that you Raising pigeons costs dozens of dollars, just throwing them away for this?" Ming Qiugu said with a smile: "What am I doing, I have forty or fifty pairs at home, and they are not worth the money of a pair." When he said that, let him sit in the living room at home.Qian Zuoyi talked some gossip first, and then he talked about Chen Huangnei's drama reviews.Ming Qiugu said with a smile: "His opera reviews are not the same thing. Those of us who know a little about opera, are they worth watching?" Qian Zuoyi came to campaign against them, so of course he couldn't attack them.Then he said with a smile: "His drama criticism is in his own class, and he intends to appeal to both the refined and the vulgar, so it's no wonder he did that.

I know you and him are very good, and I also have a draft of a play review, please introduce Deng Deng, okay? "Ming Qiugu said:" Yes, it's not a problem, you can handle it. "Qian Zuoyi said:" It's not just a one-time thing.I hope that in the future, there will be manuscripts sent to Duben. "Ming Qiugu said:" That's impossible.You think, he is not a fool, why would he support you for the newspaper he runs. "Qian Zuoyi said:" I naturally want to show a little affection for him, I can't let Bai Deng, I treat him to dinner, and I invite you to accompany me. "Ming Qiugu said:" I'm fine, let me introduce, it's nothing.But if you want him to praise you a lot, just eating a meal is not enough.I have been friends with him for many years, and I know his temper very well.Whenever he is invited to a meal, he will send a drama review and a chrysanthemum news as usual.If you don't publish drama reviews, you can get three times as a gift if you only publish Juxun.After this rule, he doesn't care. "Qian Zuoyi said: "If you want him to be a master, what conditions do you want? "Ming Qiugu smiled and said:" Why do you need to ask this? "Qian Zuoyi said: "If you want to give some gifts, you can do it, as long as he cooperates. "Ming Qiugu said:" What kind of gift is it, you can just give him the money. "Qian Zuoyi said:" How much do you think you want to send? "Ming Qiugu said: "The money comes from you, so it's not convenient for me to say that. "Qian Zuoyi said: "I am also someone else's business, how can I be the master?

I think this matter should be done openly, please ask him, how much is he willing to do? "Ming Qiugu said: "You can ask.You'd better bring some cash first, and let me take it to talk to him. "Qian Zuoyi said:" I don't know that people need to bring cash for favors. Where can I have money on my body? "Ming Qiugu said: "It's a pity you don't have cash.If I had cash, I would say a lot less. "Qian Zuoyi said:" What does that mean? "Ming Qiugu said:" You don't know something.Chen Huangnei's facial features, there is no place where he is not suffering from gluttony.As long as you draw things out to his gluttons, and then ask for his conditions, it's easy to get in tune. "Qian Zuoyi said: "If according to your method, if it is really effective, you might as well go and say it tomorrow, I will get some money today and let you take it. "Ming Qiugu said:" That's the best. "Qian Zuoyi said:" How much money do you think you need to bring? "Ming Qiugu thought about it for a while and said: "The banknotes are not even worth it, so you bring thirty yuan in cash, and I will make a very satisfactory result with you. "Qian Zuoyi said:" Take thirty as soon as you make a move, do you want more in the future? "Ming Qiugu said:" Since the transaction is done in cash, of course it must be explained clearly at once, and there should be no procrastination.Without this amount, we can't do it. "Qian Zuoyi saw that Ming Qiugu seemed to be very confident in what he said, so he agreed without hesitation.

That night, I found Fu Jiaju and told me everything.He said it was best to take out fifty yuan in cash and knock him down.Fu Jiaju said: "It's true that Chen Huangnei can cooperate with us, but this amount is not too much. But I have to take it out tomorrow, and I really can't do it. "Qian Zuoyi said:" Have you forgotten?Next week will be the day when their Zhushe Yeshe and Jinzhujun Qiuyexiang will present their titles. Our Xiangshe is not in the limelight, but if we want to be in the limelight, we should spend a lot of money this week.Next week, we can also give titles to Tuberose to compare with them.Then, the sports newspaper, is it urgent? "Fu Jiaju said:" You are right.But I can't afford much at the moment, what should I do? "Qian Zuoyi said: "Yesterday I saw that your squirrel fur robe is very good.Now the squirrel is the most valuable, why don't you pawn it.After a few days, if you have money, you can take it back, and it's okay. "Fu Jiaju said:" This is impossible.If I want to pawn it myself, I have never been in a pawn shop.I'm ashamed to say that I'm going to ask a servant to do it. "Qian Zuoyi said: "Let's do it like this.You give me the leather robe to pawn it for you.Tomorrow I will give you the money, and you can redeem it yourself.what do you think? "Fu Jiaju said:" If you can't be, how can I redeem it? "Qian Zuoyi said:" That's fine, as long as you pay for it, I'll pawn and redeem it for you. "When Fu Jiaju thought about it, there was no other way, so he had to do it. He immediately took out the brand-new squirrel fur robe from the box, handed it to Qian Zuoyi and said with a smile: "I haven't got on yet, It's time to advance to the pawn shop. "Qian Zuoyi said: "What's the matter? When it's inconvenient, I always do it. "Fu Jiaju took a few newspapers and wrapped them in the leather robe. He planted another piece of paper and wrote a line of words, "Brother Li Meixuan, Please Shunwen". Glue it with paste and paste it on the newspaper." Qian Zuoyi said : "You left it to me, why did you tell me to leave it to Li Meixuan. "Fu Jiaju said:" I don't want you to hand it over to him, I'm afraid they will ask if they see it.Just say that Li Meixuan wants to borrow this leather robe from me to make a sample. There is an existing note on it, and the evidence is solid, so people will not suspect that I am lying casually. "Qian Zuoyi smiled and said: "You are really thoughtful, don't look at your honesty, you handle things in regular meetings. "Speaking, I took the burden and went out. In the morning of the next day, I pawned fifty-two yuan at the pawn shop. I asked for twenty yuan in cash, and the rest were banknotes, which I kept in my coat pocket. Now Yang wrapped it in a piece of paper, held it in his hand, and then came to see Ming Qiugu. He made a bow as soon as they met, and said: "The matter can be done.Unfortunately, I met a friend and took me to a small restaurant. I didn't have any money with me, so I spent two yuan on the whole amount.I really didn't mean it. If I wanted to, I would be a beast. "When he said it, he held twenty-eight yuan in his hand and asked: "Do you think it will work?Please bring your achievements.If it doesn't work, I can take it back, make it up and send it back. "Ming Qiugu saw that he had already taken the money in his hand, and he said such things again. Then, he used two yuan, which may be true. Then he said: "In this case, you give it to me, the thirty A dollar is not a price, so there is nothing missing.But it will look better if you give them a whole number.Let's talk about it at that time, if you really want to add it, I will add it for you. "Speaking, he took the money. Qian Zuoyi said: "I will leave too, and I will hear your reply tomorrow. "Ming Qiugu said:" At this time, Chen Huangnei has not yet reported to the newspaper office, and I just rushed to his house.Let's go out together. "He also found a mandarin jacket to put on, and walked out with Qian Zuoyi. Qian Zuoyi went to listen to the opera by himself, but Ming Qiugu came to Chen Huangnei's house. Although this Chen Huangnei is an ordinary journalist, he has some ostentation.There is a sign at the door that reads "Zhengyang Daily Reporter Residence".Next to the door of the concierge, there was a sign of "Communication Office".A small quadrangle courtyard is only more than ten feet square, but he marked all the east, west, south, north and south houses with signs.The living room, study room, and inner room are clearly distinguished.As soon as Ming Qiugu entered the door, he was about to close it in, when a servant ran out from the porter's room and stopped him.Said: "Mr. Ming, please give me a business card, let me go in and answer." Ming Qiugu said: "Come on, I didn't bring my business card this trip, so don't be too pretentious." The little boy said: "I didn't bring any It doesn't matter the business card, you just stay here for a while. You don't know, if I don't go in and say something first, the master will scold me later." Seeing what he said, Ming Qiugu was afraid that he would be scolded, so he had to stand in the door opening and let him go in to report.After going there for a while, he came out and asked Ming Qiugu to sit in the small living room, and then Chen Huangnei came out.As soon as he met, he nodded deeply and said: "Please sit down, please sit down." Then he shouted in almost 90% of his official dialect: "Come on, pour tea." Ming Qiugu and his friends for many years I know that he has a deep habit of officialdom, the more polite he is, the more polite he is.He said: "I can only sit for a while, I have to leave. I have something to discuss with you now." Chen Huangnei said: "What's the matter? As long as I can do it. "Ming Qiugu said:" That's natural, I don't have to say anything if it's impossible. "Smiled again while talking. Then said: "Now there are two friends who want to hold tuberose, please help me a little bit. "Chen Huangne ​​shook his head like a windmill, and said: "No way!Some of my friends, no matter who they are, also say she is Shanghai style.Fortunately, you have played with tickets, how can you praise her. "Ming Qiugu said:" It's just helpless.My friend said that within a day or two, I will treat you to dinner. "Chen Huangnei said:" That's not necessary. "Ming Qiugu said:" Not only invite you to dinner, but also give you something. "Chen Huangnei said with a smile:" Then I dare not do it.What, does he want a photo? "Ming Qiugu said:" He doesn't care about it.I hope you can often help him. He sent the manuscripts, and all of them will be published in the original version. "Chen Huangne ​​shook his head and said:" This is difficult.The newspaper office made a mistake in the name of a supporting role, so don't worry about it, what's the relationship between me and Tuberose, it's not crazy to praise her like that.What's more, when her character was half red and half black, she couldn't stand the hype.If I praise her, people will really call me Chen Huangnei blind. "Ming Qiugu saw that he was so tight-lipped, so he took out twenty yuan of cash from his body, folded them up and put them on the table. Chen Huangne ​​saw him put out a stack of cash, looked at him, and asked : "What is this for? "Ming Qiugu said:" I knew you were a noble person, so I didn't dare to give you such a small sum of money.But that friend of mine insisted that I bring it, saying that it was for you to buy some tea for you to drink.I have received great trust from that side, and I don't have your words, so I dare not refuse on your behalf.Brought it, it's up to you to do what you want. "Chen Huangnei was wearing a short suit, and his hands were all exposed. So he slapped and rubbed each other non-stop, and said to Ming Qiugu with a smile: "Your friend is too...so what. " Ming Qiugu said: "He also knows that it's rude to send money directly. But he has his own idea, thinking that if you send money, you can buy things yourself, and you can choose what you like." Chen Huangnei said: "That's absolutely It doesn't matter, the money for sending things is the same. It's just me..." As he spoke, he kept rubbing his hands together.Ming Qiugu said: "Since he is sincere, you can accept it. Just when he invites you to dinner, you don't go. Isn't he spending the money for the banquet?" Chen Huangnei said: "I rely on your brother Is it possible to reject people thousands of miles away because of his face? It’s just that his conditions are more stringent. You think, if you come to the manuscript, you can publish it, isn’t that not unlimited?” Ming Qiugu said: “Of course it’s only for the sake of praise. Fragrant jade is the limit, other than that, it's up to you whether you can get in or not." Chen Huangne ​​scratched his head with his hands, then smiled and said, "It's really cheap." Ming Qiugu heard his accent nine times already willing.I was arranged for twenty-eight yuan, and if I make an extra one, I will earn one less, so I can't let it go.He held the foreign money with his hand, pinched the top few pieces, and just turned it.He said in his mouth: "This is not my money. As long as the future is willing to pay, I have nothing to say." Speaking of this, Ming Qiugu touched the handful of money and was about to put it on him. Chen Huangnei was shocked. , hurriedly pressed his hand, and spoke in a very affectionate manner.Said: "Your brother's kindness, I am not grateful." When he said, he held Ming Qiugu's hand, shook it a few times, and said, "That's how it is. I don't know Lingyou's name yet." Ming Qiu Gu said: "Speaking of which, you should also know this person. He is Mr. Fu Jiaju who often contributes to various newspapers. His signature is 'Drunken Jade Youth'." Chen Huangnei said: "I know! His writing is very good. If it is published in our newspaper, we are extremely welcome." As he spoke, his eyes could not stop looking at the pile of foreign money, thinking what to do To get it?Ming Qiugu's eyes were more powerful than his, but he couldn't help peeking into his eyes, just when the servant brought tea, Chen Huangnei moved the foreign money in front of Ming Qiugu, and then put the teacup on the other side. Inside the pile of foreign money.Said: "You take this money away? If I collect the money first, it seems to be rude to Mr. Fu." Ming Qiugu said: "It doesn't matter, this is what he wants." Ming Qiugu said, the money is still the same on the table.Chen Huangnei moved the money again, and said with a smile: "In that case, I have no choice but to accept it." Then he moved the foreign money to his side. Ming Qiugu said: "Mr. Qian said that within a day, he will definitely invite you to dinner and listen to a play. Sometimes he comes to write a manuscript, and you have to help." Chen Huangnei said: "As long as you are an acquaintance, it will not be successful. Question, why do you have to invite me to dinner." Ming Qiugu said: "This is nothing more than what everyone said. It can't be said to be an invitation." Chen Huangnei said: "Since you say that, I must be here. As soon as you Speaking of this, I remembered something. I want to ask you something, I heard that their bamboo club will treat guests tomorrow and campaign for election votes, do you know?" Ming Qiugu said: "Is there such a thing? I didn't pay attention. "Chen Huang Nie said: "It's so disgusting, didn't they invite you? "Ming Qiugu said: "Their leader is Yuan Youzhu, who has a different opinion from us, because we are against King Jinzhu holding Qiuyexiang. " Chen Huangnei patted the table, slapped the foreign money and said: "Okay, I will help you by holding Qiuyexiang and opposing Jin Zhujun." Ming Qiugu said with a smile: "That's good, I invite you to sit in the box tomorrow. "Chen Huangne ​​held foreign money in his hand, looked back and shrank, and looked into his pocket by the way.Then he stretched out his hand, clenching his fist and pounding on the table, he said: "Mr. Jin Zhu's play is very common, it's unreasonable for them to praise her, I must come out and scold her." The two were talking happily, and the servant sent four Five letters came, and they were handed over to Chen Huangnei.When he looked at the envelopes, two of them were Western-style, unsealed, and seemed to be invitations.First take out one to look at, it is indeed an invitation, it is the name of all the members of the bamboo club, and the date is tomorrow.Open that one again, even better, it was invited by Jin Zhujun himself.It was the day after tomorrow, and it was still Western food.Chen Huangnei read this and then the letter, and put them aside.Ming Qiugu continued to oppose Zhushe. Said: "If you want to curse, I can provide you with materials." Chen Huangnei said: "Just now I was just a joke. One of you is holding bamboo and the other is holding leaves, why should we help one to beat the other.What's more, Mr. Jinzhu... "Ming Qiugu immediately changed his attitude when he saw Chen Huangnei. I don't know why. He said: "I know most of the people in Yeshe.Just within two or three days, they have a kind of dinner party, and I will introduce you to comeo. "Chen Huang Nie said: "Where have I ever been on stage, are you kidding me? "Ming Qiugu said:" I don't want you to come on stage.When they have a dinner, they only invite party members who hold autumn leaves, and they don't bring outside guests.I asked them to post your post and invite you to dinner, wouldn't it be a cameo? "Chen Huangnei heard this, stroked his beard and smiled, "I've always been in favor of Qiu Yexiang.They won't invite me, and I won't scold them either. "Ming Qiugu heard that his tone had changed a bit, so he simply explained, and said: "The date is the day after tomorrow, you must come.I'll call them later. "Chen Huangnei thinks that there is already one meal the day after tomorrow. It is not economical to eat two meals in one day. One morning and one afternoon, that's fine. If it's the same time, I have to count as one meal, which is even more unreasonable. : "I have an appointment, you guys are a day late, can you make it? "Ming Qiugu said:" They originally planned to decide the date tonight, so when they say so, they will postpone it for one day. "Chen Huangnei took twenty yuan and invited him to dinner again. He was very happy. Ming Qiugu got up to leave, but left him to sit for ten minutes before sending him out. From the next day, he ate for three consecutive days.It's also because of his good luck, and it's the fourth day of writing, which is another day for the Xiyanglu Poetry Club.Chen Huangnei was not a famous old man, but he could write two kinds of poems, so he recommended himself to join this poetry club.Although he doesn't pay the society fee, fortunately, the people in the society are all famous and wealthy officials, who can afford the money, so if he comes for nothing, it won't have any influence.There are twenty or thirty poet friends in this club, and they may or may not all come to each meeting, but there are always about ten of them.On this day, Lin Xuelou Taishi was in charge, Zhao Chunshui, Zhou Qiufang, Yang Xiafeng, Ge Dongxue, Zhou Xipo, Meng Xiaolu, Liang Jiaomeng and a dozen others arrived.Chen Huangnei was among them.Everyone first collected the news from the newspapers and talked for a while.Later, when we slowly talked about listening to operas, Ge Dongxue smiled and said to Lin Xuelou: "I heard that you haven't been to the Tianqiao Luozi Pavilion for a long time." It's gone." Lin Xuelou smiled and said, "The head of the bed is all gold, and the strong man has no color." Over there, Zhao Chunshui said with a smile: "I have a couplet of poems, which is 'The lotus flower is behind the gold and the green is green, and the autumn leaves are fragrant when the guest goes upstairs'." So everyone laughed.There are also one or two people in the seat who don't understand.Then he said: "The last couplet is about love, so I know it. What does the next couplet mean?" Lin Xuelou smiled and said, "This is also a joke for me. Because these days, I always go to see Qiu Yexiang's play .When she is about to come out, I go upstairs to the box. Isn’t this the guest of Qiu Yexiang going upstairs?” Seeing that he confessed, everyone burst into laughter for the second time.Lin Xuelou was smiling, while wiping away tears with his left hand by the sleeve of his right shirt.Said: "This child's play can't be said to be bad. No one can cover her in the current Kunling flower dresses." Zhou Qiufang said: "Is this true?" Lin Xuelou said: "You have seen her too. Play, you can honestly say, who can be better than her?" Zhou Qiufang said: "I thought Mr. Jin Zhu was better than her." Lin Xuelou said: "Is Kong Shuo better than her? You have to judge carefully from the point of view of sex, then it counts." Zhou Qiufang said: "Don't be impatient, I will tell you slowly." Lin Xuelou closed her eyes He squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "I can't believe it, let me just say it." Zhou Qiufang said, "In terms of work, Qiu Yexiang is more than ups and downs, but not dignified enough. In terms of singing, the force is too hard, but the circle is not enough. Not so with Mr. Jinzhu. Playing Tsing Yi is Tsing Yi, and playing Huashan is Huashan." Lin Xuelou didn't wait for him to look down and say, already pouted his beard and shook his head endlessly.Just as Chen Huangnei was attacking, he turned around and asked Chen Huangnei: "You are a great critic of operas, tell me, which one is better between Qiu Yexiang and Jin Zhujun?" Mr. Ye Xiang and Jinzhu have invited me to dinner, so they are finally acquaintances.Here Lin Xuelou is helping Qiu Yexiang, he is a Taishi.Over there, Zhou Qiufang was helping Mr. Jin Zhu, and he was also the president, so he had to help.Then he laughed and said, "Each has its own advantages." Zhao Chunshui said, "Although each has its own advantages, we can't have two people's sex skills. They are equally divided. One is better and the other is worse. Some." Chen Huangnei ate Jin Zhujun's two meals, and he wanted to show his respect.But he knew very well that today's host, Lin Taishi, is the most enthusiastic about holding leaves. If he wants to say that the fragrance of autumn leaves is not as good as Mr. Jinzhu, he is afraid that his host will be unhappy.Then he laughed and said: "The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. There is no way to make a judgment." Zhao Chunshui said: "No wonder you critics have so many white plays to watch. It turns out that you don't want to offend even one." Lin Xuelou said: " Don't quarrel, I have a fairest way to judge A and B." After hearing this, everyone stopped the argument and listened to his way.If you want to know what method he said, I will explain it next time.
