life of a actress 沈从文 12032Words 2018-03-22
The heroine Luo is such a person.An orphan, he was raised by his grandmother when he was young, and then he followed an uncle to study in Beijing. He lived in a middle-class family and received a complete education.Because of the influence of the times when she was in Beijing, this woman, like many young women, developed the habit of acting in school. At the same time, because of her living environment, she has an independent spirit. At school, she is always surrounded by a group of young men. In order to adapt to the safety and convenience of this woman's life, and according to her selfish talent, this woman has learned to be alert.She knows a lot about everything, but she seems to be more aware of men's behavior.She has a bit of natural pride, which is blended into the sophistication due to the growth of wisdom, so people who usually come and go can't see it.Although she has a transparent reason, because this reason often can't help but despise everything, but the enthusiasm of a girl is not lacking.Since leaving Beijing school for Shanghai, she has lived in her uncle's house.My uncle just met the director Mr. Shiping, and soon she became a key player in the XX troupe, and lived with some young people acting in plays.

Chen Bai is a professor at the XX Drama School and a person whom director Shiping has worked with for many years.This man has learned a great deal of manners with women from theatrical experience, and a great deal of manliness from other things.He had known many women, but he chose among them, keeping the best close at hand, with all the prudence of a respectable man, and maintaining a kind of best friendship with those whom he did not quite like. kind.He himself thought that he could win the favor of many women in this way, but because of this, no woman became his only lover.After some days, I saw that some women had all gone from the passionate pursuit of others, and some new women replaced the former ones, and this handsome man was still in his original position. Live the days that don't feel decadent.He was always very satisfied with what he had done with himself, for he had not a little bit of talent, all the necessities of a handsome man.Because of this virtue, this person should be reserved and live happily in the new days with reason and pride.Seeing an acquaintance who has already made a contract with someone, when he comes to tell him, the man with strong self-confidence naturally suffers a little blow in his heart, feels a little bit disappointed, a kind of vanity loss, and has no respect for his usual behavior. Regret a little.However, after a while, he thought of an opportunity to laugh, "Such a woman is only worthy of living with such a man!" He laughed.He planned well for himself, and the pain would never occupy his heart for a long time. "She's still sensible, and she knows how to marry someone else if she knows how to love her. She's a good girl." He laughed at this girl for a while, and then went to chat with other girls and drink tea.

However, such a man is not to be blamed.This man still belongs to ××.He wants a revolution, and XX cannot refuse such a man to join, just as XX cannot refuse other women to join.He is capable of doing things, enthusiastic about acting, and is no more lazy at work than anyone else.He was also generous at times, spending some of his money on things that no one else could do, as long as it made him happy.He has a kind of chivalry, that is, he always does it when he sees something unreasonable.Although all actions are for a little selfishness and a little vanity, compared with some people who can't be aroused even with vanity, this person is much more lovable.

In Mr. Shiping's house, Chen Bai, who has a strong character and a youthful blood, meets the heroine Luo who also has a similar personality.When they met for the first time, both of them made a plan in their minds: "This is an opponent, be careful." Sure enough, the second time the two followed their plan and talked for a long time.When they talked about everything, they seemed to deliberately learn from each other to be young and fresh; very frank, open discussions, because according to the habit, it is frank, but at the same time, two people know some frank things, and they just say it. Makes people more confused.However, neither of them lacks an appearance that attracts each other, and both of them have to succumb to this appearance, so they met for the third time, talked and talked, and seemed to understand each other very well, and the two became best friends.

The appearance of the heroine Luo is easier to be recognized by all the young people in the XX troupe, because as usual, the eyes of young people are bright.Ever since the heroine Luo Yi joined the Dafang Theater Company, everyone is gone.The old girl lived her life with a little jealousy. They were not together before, but at this moment they suddenly became intimate.As for young men, everyone has a kind of ambition, and at the same time these people are ashamed of this ambition, hiding their desires under their clothes, and everyone disposes of it to themselves.These people usually pay attention to clothing, but later pay more attention to it because their ambition is hidden.

Seeing these scenes, Chen Bai and the heroine Luo knew it all.But because Chen Bai knew about this, because of the jealousy of other men, to avenge the woman, for vanity, and for other reasons that are not far from vanity, this man pretended to be in love and became the heroine. Lo's friendship protector.The heroine Luo is very smart to notice other people, as well as Chen Bai's appearance and interesting conversation, so under the attention of everyone, she is also very natural to be Chen Bai's lover.But because everyone still has a prejudice in their hearts, this prejudice may be due to the lack of restraint in the conversation between the two.Because they are both too smart, when it comes to talking, they both want to confess, but they always feel that the other's confession is funny, and sometimes they think it is muddled, and they have to be equally muddled. maintain a kinder friendship.However, the two of them seemed to be deliberately getting closer because of others, so it was impossible not to admit their love.

Under the guidance of Mr. Shi Ping of the Dafang Theater Company, the two co-acted quite a few scripts, which were naturally fashionable, fresh and in line with the trend.Chen Bai achieved unprecedented success in the play, because of his beautiful body and beautiful voice, when it comes to his enthusiasm on issues, many young people think that Chen Bai is not bad, and he has the demeanor of a famous actor.As for the female protagonist Luo, she also achieved success, and because she is a female, she is more popular among young people.In Shanghai, everyone is tired of watching movies, and civilized dramas are disdainful. Everyone understands art and beauty. Young students have subscribed to "Liangyou" magazine, and thoughtful people have read many novels and new books. Therefore, the name of Lo, who is passionate and beautiful, soon became the slogan of schools everywhere.Everyone happily discussed who this woman should belong to, and everyone wondered whether one of the directors, Mr. Shi Ping and Chen Bai, was the lover of the heroine Luo.

Everyone is so based on the little facts they know, even if they are thoughtful young people who have nothing to do, they still bring this matter up for discussion.Because of the dullness of politics, young people are so boring and lonely, so they need to talk, and Luo has become the focus of this small group. To make the young people happy, they bought tickets from various places and came to the Guangming Theater to watch ××, in order to see the moving performance of the heroine Luo, and the heroine Luo knew it very well.So when the director, Mr. Shi Ping, got angry and said that the audience couldn't do it, she protested.In fact, Mr. Shi Ping, the director, knows more about this than the heroine Luo.He understands the power of the heroine, because this middle-aged man, every time he sees her showing a different kind of feminine demeanor under the dress, he will always be a little dazzled. The power of the heroine is in his own It had a little impact.However, this man is a gentleman, a person who knows too much about the world and has become a very cautious person. For the sake of safety, he settled down to himself under the situation of being an uncle, so from the side of the extremely sensitive heroine Luo It seems that Mr. Shiping did not expect that she would love her.

After the performance of ××, the next day, Luo was in the living room of her uncle's house, reading the report on yesterday's performance in the daily newspaper.This reporter, who is familiar with Shi Ping, wrote a moving article with extreme exaggeration, and recorded in detail the achievements of the ×× script, the protagonist, and the audience.The reporter also wrote in a supplementary title about the fact that the policeman confused the whole audience, saying, "The policeman actually jumped onto the stage and beat up the characters on stage!" Everything was nonsense, and everything was close to exaggeration To be honest, seeing this, she laughed and laughed, and finally got really angry.

But then I unfolded the pictorial with the photos of the protagonists of yesterday's famous XX drama, saw my own glamorous but still heroic figure, saw Mr. Shiping directing the situation, saw Chen Bai, Seeing the drama student who painted his face with red liquid, the chaos of yesterday reappeared in her eyes. She remembered the sound of applause from the audience, the thick air below the stage, and herself in the third place. During the scene, she squeezed the pistol and made a gesture towards the factory manager. When Chen Bai heard the sound of the gun coming, she laughed again. She saw her very beautiful and moving photo, looked at it for a long time, and did not leave.

My uncle is an old Japanese student studying abroad. He is already forty-four years old. Because he studied economics, he is now working as a clerk at the customs. At this time, he was about to go to work and went to the living room to pick up his leather bag. "Luo, how was your play yesterday?" "It failed. Mr. Shi Ping was sweating all over his face, and he couldn't calm the audience down." The woman deliberately said this in front of her uncle, and put the pictorial aside. The gentleman immediately left the living room, saying, "There are a lot of people then." "It's full. There will be another performance next Thursday. Uncle, can you go and see it again?" "I'm afraid to sit there for two o'clock. I think you must be better than the last time I saw you. You are so good at acting and so beautiful, have you appeared in three performances? " "But the third time I was shot, I was lifted up and paraded through the streets." "Why do you want to act like this?" When the heroine Luo heard this question, she thought that her uncle was challenging again as before, so she said, "There is nothing else to do except this play." "You and Mr. Shiping are together, and your thinking has become more and more different recently." "Is it not good, or is it good?" The woman looked at the gentleman with a delicate and serious look. The middle-aged gentleman smiled and didn't answer. Seeing that the newspaper had arrived, he took it out and read it. After reading the play records, he stood still at first, and then sat down on a sofa with a smile on his face. The heroine Luo has long been used to speaking in front of her uncle.When she saw her uncle's life, she felt a kind of hostility. If it wasn't for the repercussions caused by the orderly life of middle-aged people, she didn't know where it came from.She often deliberately came to make things difficult for this middle-aged gentleman, because she had such an uncle, so she felt that she was someone with new ideas.From some books and the new words and deeds she came into contact with, she found a moral standard for being a human being, and from her uncle, she found an object of debate and attack.Every time she argued with her uncle, she would mock and pity the middle-aged gentleman in her heart, always thinking that uncle was sympathetic.Sometimes she came to talk about literature, politics, and love with her uncle with a great ideal of saving the world and saving people. Seeing his uncle swaying his educated head and the smile formed by persistence made her even more excited. Aroused the desire to bring this gentleman back to life.The middle-aged uncle sometimes said a few conciliatory words for the sake of accommodating the proud and beautiful only niece. She could see that this was the intentional act of the uncle, but she still believed that this act was also the result of her own efforts. This achievement made him compromise. In order to arouse her desire to influence her uncle again, she thought for a while and found the beginning of her speech. She said, "Uncle, you still say you are an old revolutionary party, why do you just do that..." The middle-aged man moved the newspaper slightly. Open up a little, "You mean I'm too stubborn, don't you? . . . Do you see what's written in this paper? They say you're the only good one. I'm so happy when they say that about you." The woman felt aggrieved because the previous words were hewed by her uncle to another matter.Uncle is the one who likes to be cunning the most, although she is the one who likes to praise, it can't be done at this time!She wants to speak on the topic of revolution!Her heart is revolutionary, her blood is revolutionary.She raised her voice a little, "I said uncle can't do it. You can't do this." "How do I do it?" "What do you think you did when you were young?" "When you are young, you are a little confused and do stupid things." "Even if you are confused, you have to change it, you have to be young again, and you have to be a new man. Uncle knows it!" "Change! Change it tomorrow, change it the day after tomorrow, this is youth! Be a new man, do you want me to go on stage and play a supporting role for you, or do you want me to do something else?" "You should act according to your ability, so that the country can make progress. Isn't Mr. Shi Ping about the same age as you? You see how responsible and respectable he is. Uncle, I think your..." "It's new again, don't talk about it Mr. Shiping is a drama student, so he does his art movement, and my uncle studies economics, should he also direct a play?" "Studying economics can't lead to revolution." "What should I do? I'll hear your questions." "X is also a person who studies economics." "X write novels, yes, this is a genius, I think you all rely on a little genius in acting and sports." "You stepped aside and did this on purpose." "Then what do you want to say? Tell me how uncle can be a newcomer. I really want to be younger like you. Uncle is willing to learn." The heroine Luo thought for a while, then fell silent.Because usually I only think that my uncle is not as respectable as Mr. Shiping, but besides his patience in acting, what is there that Mr. Shiping is different from his uncle, it is difficult for her to say.If my uncle shouldn't live in such a house alone, then I shouldn't live here either, but this house seems to be much more convenient and quiet than other places.If it is said that uncle does not study, then there is no reason for this, because this middle-aged man is one of the few researchers in China on the tariff issue. (If it is said that my uncle should not have the manners of a gentleman, then this person does not seem to be any worse than a person who lacks gentleman manners.) All in all, what she is dissatisfied with is nothing but uncle's middle-aged man's orderly and rational life. The attitude is not commensurate with oneself.There is nothing else to say.Since she had nothing to say, she peeked at the face of the gentleman uncle, who was still reading the newspaper and waiting for an answer, calmly.Although this middle-aged man is a genuine gentleman, he does not have the restraint of a Chinese gentleman at all.Everything can be discussed with this niece, life and men and women, as long as the niece is happy, there is no taboo at all. This gentleman is really a rare gentleman. At this time, the heroine, who couldn't think of anything specific to say, was a little shy and angry, because even if there was nothing to say, the uncle's peaceful attitude always aroused a kind of disgust in the young people.When she saw her uncle was laughing again, her uncle took the pictorial, read it again and again, and found it very interesting to see her niece's appearance in worker's attire. Do you know how they abuse the female workers in the cotton mill?" Asking this question seemed to embarrass the middle-aged man, so after saying it, he felt happy, and when he saw that his uncle was silent, he said, "I'm ashamed for you, a gentleman scholar Shy, because I know a lot of books, but I don’t know what is beyond the books! Authority is in the hands of all respectable people, and no one has ever noticed those dirty human beings. I heard people say, how painful their lives are, how They don't look like human beings, they sit by the machine and do 16 o'clock labor, three cents a day, yellow face and thin face, everyone has a disease, lung disease died one after another...these people died after some miserable days , No one has ever said a word for them, no one has ever noticed them, I think this should be your humiliation! You can help to speak without speaking, I think your serenity is shameful!" The middle-aged man still maintained his status as an elder, gentle and calm, smiling slightly, nodding while listening.He was amused by this young man's simple reproach.The reason why he couldn't get angry was because he had a different opinion, and the second reason was that the person who said this was a daughter of his sister, who saw how beautiful and pure she was when she transformed from a child into an adult.He thought it was a very good opinion, just because it came from his niece, a woman at such an age who only knows a little about life can say such naive and righteous words, it is really touching .On the one hand, he was naturally a little surprised at times, because he never thought that his niece's self-confidence and enthusiasm would be cultivated from that cowardly and incompetent sister.He looked at the photos in the pictorial, and then at the look of his niece sitting there with a vigorous look, disturbed by a kind of youthful morning beauty, and seeing that look, he could guess that there are countless young people who still have countless ways to deal with this issue. If I wanted to say something, I took the attitude of a father towards a child, and said in surprise: "Where did you hear these things?" She didn't say where she came to know this, but instead asked the gentleman, "I just ask, should my uncle know this shameful thing for human beings?" The middle-aged man thought to himself, "Is this the only shameful thing about human beings?" But he answered very well, "I am also shy, because I know more than you. China, the world, I know a little bit, but the matter is a little more serious than being shy, that is, this is the issue of the transformation of the entire economic organization, and this is also an issue that has been transferred to the international community. It is not enough to do charity relief, nor is it like you are acting, capitalists It will be like enlightenment and elimination in the play!" "If everyone gets up and talks, won't things get better slowly?" "Speak, yes! A writer, he can solve a problem based on a feeling, and a researcher of social issues, how can he be conscientious just by developing a little feeling?" "Then you think that feeling is nothing." "Not in vain. Neither literature nor drama is in vain. But they can only raise problems to attract the attention of the majority, and can do nothing else. And as a rule, solving problems is beyond the reach of the majority." "I am totally opposed to what my uncle said. Solving problems is a job for professionals, but I don't really believe that professionals who have been cultivated to consolidate the customary interests of the system can do anything for the masses!" "What is the reason for your skeptical spirit?" "I think uncle is one of their enemies!" "What about yourself?" These words made the heroine Luo dumb, she lowered her head in embarrassment.She wanted to say, "I'm gay," but couldn't.This lady of the purely small bourgeoisie, she was silent for a while, and then deliberately emphasized, "I will sacrifice for them." The gentleman smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "It is possible to be like this." All right. For being young, being young, all behavior is always lovely, and I'm not stubborn to think it's stupid, and I admit it's not bad. How do you sacrifice? Is it acting or something?" Acting headstrong, she said, "I will do what I think is good for them." "Acting is also good." "Yes, I want to act in many plays. I believe that good plays can become a kind of power, which can be placed in the hearts of young people and stir up those weak blood and weak souls." Gentleman thought: "This power is not drama, it is your youth." The heroine Luo didn't say anything, but also thought: "A stubborn person often uses plausible reason to protect himself." However, in addition, he had to think, "Uncle is right, people are middle-aged, rational Be transparent and always have a better explanation to justify your life in any situation." In discussion, like in other seasons, my uncle was victorious, but on the surface, it was still my uncle who expressed his surrender after he arrived, and said some optimistic words about literature reforming thinking like coaxing a child, so my uncle went to work.After the gentleman left, the heroine Luo picked up the pictorial again and looked at it for a while, feeling bored. She wanted to find a girlfriend at an acquaintance's house, and was about to make a phone call to ask when she could go. When she got to the phone, Ling Zi But it rang loudly. He took the earphones and asked, "Who are you looking for?" "..." I don't know what to say on the other side. "Who are you looking for? This is Wu Zhai. ... Yes, it is Wu Zhai. ... Yes, I am Luo!" "..." The people over there talked for a long time. "I'm going elsewhere." "..." "Alright, I'll wait for you." "..." "Why, why didn't you come again?" "..." "It's fine if I say it, but is it wrong?" "..." "It doesn't matter if you don't come. I won't force you to come if you don't like it. The weather has made you very bad-tempered. Maybe you have a fever. Did you sleep well yesterday? There is no class today, and Mr. Shiping is not at school anymore." I originally wanted to come to you and Mr. Shiping to have lunch with me. Since you are angry, don’t come here....Didn’t you read the newspaper? I’m here...why, who are you angry with? Okay, I can hear what you mean, forget it." It seemed that he was angry and didn't want to listen to the words from the other side, so he hung up the earphones, and after a while, he suddenly took it in his hand again, and after listening for a while, the line was broken, so he hung it up again. Standing stupidly by the phone for a while. Thinking of something, suddenly laughed again, still walked to the original place and sat down, still thinking about that kind of thing, originally planned to make a phone call for the other, but now he didn't want to go out again.I went to the window to look at the small meadow outside the Tun. It was early May, and the magnolia flowers at the four corners of the meadow had already passed away, and so had the white lilacs.A timid and slender pomegranate plant squeezed into the corner of the wall, with a red flower adorned on a branch at the top of the tree, and the other ten sister flowers on the wall were scattered and there were some remnants that hadn’t withered by the window. The potted Tianzhu was newly bought from the flower garden, and a servant is relocating it.It was only eight o'clock, and because the morning sun outside didn't seem too strong, Luo went out to the lawn to see the servants doing things. Although the sun has been out for a while, the grass in the morning still has some humidity.In some places, the dewdrops on the grass are still shining with five colors, and a small bird like a white swallow is hanging in the hut where the servant lives, chirping and chirping.Somewhere far away, the sound of a sparrow was also heard. Luo, who had been walking on the grass for a while, thought that she still needed to make a phone call, so she yelled at the aunt who was cleaning the windows on the second floor on the grass, saying 5884, XX school, and Mr. Chen Bai.Auntie stood by the door in a short while, speaking with a northern accent. "Mr. Chen is going out." "Call Zhang Mansion again, find Miss Fourth, and tell her that I will ask her when she can come to my place. I have nothing to do. If she is at home, or I will go to her place." Because the phone was connected, she said she could go, so Luo went upstairs to the bedroom to change her shoes. After changing her shoes, she took her wallet and was about to go out. When she got to the living room downstairs, she heard her aunt talking to someone at the back door. The voice is very familiar.The aunt came in with a business card, knew it was Chen Bai, and said please come in, and after a while, this beautiful man came to the living room. They didn't shake hands, didn't talk, and when the aunt went to get the tea, they looked at each other, and Chen Bai laughed and said, "You're angry with me!" Luo also smiled, "Who is angry? I am..." "It's a little more beautiful in the morning," the man guessed. Luo, who was sitting across from her, stood up again, and wanted to walk to Luo, but the aunt pushed a small rectangular coffee table with wheels by the door. side appeared.Chen Bai acted as if he wanted to report, took the newspaper and returned to his seat, looked at Luo and smiled. Today's Chen Bai is extremely decent in everything.The thin flannel suit is made of light gray, with the symbols of youth painted on his face. When he stands up, he is unpretentious, and when he sits down, he has a special and charming demeanor.Seeing Chen Bai's Luo, I was restrained by some things and had some disputes.She asked her aunt to call again, and asked Mr. Zhang to talk to Miss Fourth. The aunt didn't understand what she meant, so Luo went to the back of the living room by herself.Hearing the words on the phone, Chen Bai knew that she was going out, and also heard that there were guests coming or not, so he let go of all the problems that he had thought about when he was on the road just now.When Luo came back, he said to Luo in an attitude that was neither honest nor completely hypocritical: "Since we have an appointment with someone else, we can go out together, why did you say goodbye to others?" "You talk too much." "I really do think so." "You're here, what am I going to do?" Luo, who had talked like this, saw a kind of brilliance on Chen Bai's face, she understood how this man got what he said just now, and cultivated his self-confidence, and thought in her heart, "What do you use?" It's really clever to tell a lie to make yourself polite and sensible, and to listen to other people's lies to be happy." Chen Bai said, "I was only afraid that you would be angry, so I came here to plead guilty." As he spoke, he thought in his heart, "It must be hard to be angry." As if seeing Chen Bai's dishonesty clearly, Luo said, "Confession, or confession, is a man's—" "It's a man's hypocrisy, but there is no doubt that any woman can use it. Women don't have this Life is full of grief and indignation, with symptoms of hysteria," although Chen Bai said this, but he didn't say it.All he said was, "It was the only weapon the man had figured out after some planning!" Luo made a coquettish smile in denial.She said what she had to say. "It is the humility of a man, for humility is the single best thing a man can do to a woman." "It seems like that, but it's useless for someone like you." "I am not the kind of shallow person who needs the humility of a man as the food of life." "Why do you make an unfair assessment of yourself before others say it? I want to say that you will not suffer from this kind of favor because you are not ordinary. But you declare that you are not Shallow person, I am in trouble for your statement." "Are you in trouble? I don't think you will be in trouble in anything." This is also a mockery and the truth, meaning the opposite is, "Only a woman whose tenderness has to take care of everything will be in trouble." Chen Bai understood this meaningful.Because this is an indirect compliment for him, as a man, he should be a little humble in front of women, so that he is in line with his status, so he chooses the most appropriate words to say. He said it, but she still planned to continue talking, her speaking attitude was a little different from last night's acting.Both of them felt that because of these words, they were brought into a new realm. The two are a little more polite today because they both know very well that if they are not hypocritical, the rift in their friendship last night will not be healed.When the two arrived, they both realized that they were safe, so they were relieved, and then they talked about everything, literature, old age and youth.When it came to acting, I took the pictorial of the Times as the theme, and continued talking for a long time, because the photos of the two were published on it. After Chen Bai left, Luo felt much happier today than before.It felt empty again, and felt like I was still acting.The weather was a little stuffy, so people have so many fantasies. In order to prevent the expansion of this emotion, she played the piano for a while, read a book for a while, and wrote a letter for a friend in Beijing. When my uncle came home for lunch, he brought Mr. Shiping with him.As soon as Mr. Shiping saw Luo, he asked, "Have you seen the report in the newspaper?" "Not only seeing, but also getting angry when seeing!" "Why is that?" "Too ridiculous to lie." "It is legal for a reporter to lie. And when it comes to your achievements, it is also recognized by everyone." "I know, it's because I'm a woman. Those men's words to women, I don't understand what else to say besides compliments?" "But it's not necessarily true. X is also so beautiful, but she has been scolded by others." "That must be her disappointment to the man." "Have you ever had the opposite?" "It's always a bit embarrassing to praise me like this." "Be humble!" "Why is it modest? Because I am a woman, and I know what men feel about women!" "Is that the reason? That's not enough!" Mr. Shiping came today, and it seemed that he was about to challenge. Luo saw the long and thin director silent with a strange look, and thought to herself, "I haven't seen any other reasons." But she didn't want to go on, because As soon as he said these things, he became an empty stubbornness again, and he himself was obviously about to fail. Uncle is silent.When I see that Luo is silent, I will talk to Mr. Shiping about the recent political disputes, and Luo has nothing to do with this.But one is my uncle, and the other is such an acquainted elder, her words are not too tired, and she puts forward many opinions, which are bold and clever opinions with little basis, which make Mr. Shiping feel the same way. Both uncle and uncle saw her smiling.She didn't stop talking for this reason, she said everything she wanted to say.She laughs at all officials, despises all politicians, insults all power, and she very seriously criticizes some of the social situations she knows and sees.She hated the war, and used many moving words to add fuel to her speaking on the subject.She knew it was not much, but said not little. Her behavior was a little self-willed, and this kind of situation would not happen if she was only with Mr. Shiping, because she had to be more polite.At this time, no one argued with her, and the more she talked about the topic, the more excited she was, and the uncle's elder demeanor annoyed this little soul even more. "Uncle, what do you think?" "I think you're right. It's a nice word, and a good reason, and I agree with you." "That's what you said to me like a child." "I really agree! Even if you think you are an adult, I don't object." "I don't want your approval! You never agree with me, and I see it clearly." "Why do you have to say this? Ask Mr. Shi Ping, is it true? When I speak, you think I'm trying to show for the ruler. When I'm silent, you think I'm belittling you. But I'm telling you, you What you know is too little. You only know the facts of the crime, but you don’t know the reason for the crime. Your opinions are all based on your own experience. When you stand on another point of view, you may be afraid You haven't easily admitted your own ideas like uncle did!" "You're saying I'm totally messing around!" "It's not nonsense, it's young, too pure, too..." "It must be too simple. I understand what my uncle is going to say. I understand it if you don't say it. You said it in other words, and I also understand it." I still hear the meaning. Uncle, I don’t want to argue with you, so I’m leaving.” She had said enough, and feigning anger, she left the drawing-room, but did not leave the warm little nest, and went upstairs to her own bedroom, and did not come down to eat until the lunch was arranged. After Luo went upstairs, the two middle-aged men talked about the girl's future.The gentleman only knew a little about how he and Chen Bai got along in the play, but he didn't fully understand the content.After Shi Ping fully explained their relationship and their usual quarrels and hobbies, the gentleman who heard the news shook his noble head. "This must be interesting. This kid just said in the morning that I'm old, I can't do it, and I need to be young again. Then, if I also come to learn the foolish and innocent love of young people, can I be considered a human being? In this little brain, I don’t know where she got so many insights. She really quarreled with me for a while on the point of trying to make me young. Haha, this era is an interesting era. There are such women! Shiping, we can’t catch up with this It's time." The director was a little dissatisfied when he heard the word "we", and said as if to correct him, "Why do you say that about us? If you want to catch up, you can't catch up!" "Then you can catch up, I wish my old friend everything..." "I can't be a hero because of you." "It's not bad even for your old friend." "You see." "I'm waiting, I still want to know the direction." "Slowly and naturally you will know." In the end, the two laughed ecstatically, and because of this laughter, Luo who was upstairs came downstairs again. "What are you talking about? I heard you laughing!" Luo looked at Mr. Shiping, but asked her uncle to answer. The gentleman said, "It's not laughing, it's arguing." "I thought young people would argue with old people." "Really quarreling, only two people of the same age will have it." "Uncle's words actually imply that everything is not worth discussing in front of me." "Haven't I argued with you too?" "That's because my uncle said something wrong first." The gentleman raised his eyebrows, making a playful look, and stuck out his tongue a little, "Hey, you are really good. This speaking ability is not small, uncle will really run away from now on." When Luo saw this situation, she smiled wantonly, as if she had completely won, and her uncle's demeanor made her feel happy.In order to show her humble attitude in front of Mr. Shiping, she said, "It is because of my uncle that I have learned to be so presumptuous, and it is also because of Mr. Shiping that I have learned such eloquence." 士平先生笑着把手摇动,也有点儿滑稽,他说,“我是不会使你学到同家庭作战的,老朋友他信得过我。” 绅士说,“我相信士平告她一定是另外一些的,就是告给她打我。” 说过这笑话,接着就一面按桌上的叫人铃,一面喊人把饭摆出来,且望到士平先生那瘦瘦的马脸,觉得老朋友非常有趣。 吃过饭,绅士问士平先生,怎么过这个下午。没有什么可说的,士平先生意思,若果是主人不赶客,就留到这里不动。绅士问萝要不要出去,萝说天气热不想出去,不让士平先生走去,留他在这里谈戏剧问题也好。 “我可要办公去了,你不要出去,士平不要走,我回来三个人再过兆丰花园去玩玩。” “舅父你办公去,仍然坐到你那写字台边做半天事好了,士平先生不会告我怎么样反对你的,请你放心。” “我倒不怎么不放心。我预备敌你们两个!” 这绅士,到时就又机器一样的坐了自己小牛牌小汽车走了。看到舅父走后,站到廊下的萝,才叹了一口气,走回客厅里来。他为这绅士的准确守时,象这样叹息机会太多了。她有点儿莫名其妙的忧郁,当到舅父面前时,还可象一个小孩子一样,肆无忌惮的来同舅父有所争持,但另一时却想到舅父是寂寞的人了。 当夜里,那绅士正在三楼小书房吃烟时,萝来了。萝与舅父谈话,说到士平先生。舅父问她和士平先生说了些什么话。萝说:“他似乎也很寂寞,这个人今天同我说到许多的话。” 舅父听到这个微微的吃了点惊,象是想起了什么事情,有所憬悟,稍过了一会,忽然问萝:“我听说那个陈白爱你,你是不是也爱他?” “舅父为什么要问这个?” “这是我关心你的事,难道这些事就不能让舅父知道吗?” “舅父自然得知道的,只是问得不好。应当说,你们爱到怎么样了呢?因为舅父是原本知道这件事情的。” “就照你这样问,同我说说也好。我愿意明白你在你自己这件事情上,有了些什么好计划。我还不大同你谈到这些事,你说你的见解给舅父听!” “他愿意我嫁他。” “这没有什么不合理。” “可是这是他的意见,这个人爱我是为了他自己。” “这也是自然的事!” “自然,爱都应当为自己,可是,我看他却为虚荣才爱我!” “…”舅父要说什么,似乎认为不说还好,所以又咽下去了。 萝心想,“舅父对这件事总是奇怪,因为他不明白年青男子,更不明白年青女人。” 舅父忽然又说,“萝,你愿不愿意嫁他?” “这样爱我的人我还不愿意吗?” “我听人说你同陈白很要好,虽然这是个人的私事,我不应当搀加多少意见,不过我多知道一点,是很高兴的,所以我要你告诉我。” “舅父,现在我让你知道了吧,我不会同陈白结婚,因为好象大家都爱我。” “你若是爱陈白,那么大家爱你,这一点理由也不会使你拒绝结婚,因为大家爱你决不是拒绝另一个人的理由!” “舅父,我倒以为这是唯一理由。我应当让每个人都可以在我身上有一种不相当的欲望,都不缺少一点野心,因这样大家才能努力使世界变好一点。” “怪思想!” “一点都不奇怪!我不能尽一个为虚荣而爱我的人把我占有,因为我是人,我应当为多数而生存,不能成为独自一个人供养与快乐的东西!” “我不同你说了,你学的是诡辩。恐怕你是会在这诡辩上吃亏的。自然你也可以用这个,把自己永远安置在顺利情形中,可是我真奇怪你为什么会这样打算。” “我说我爱陈白,舅父一定就快乐了,也原谅我诡辩了。 我知道,陈白是那么使年老人欢喜,又如何使年青人佩服的,为什么?因为他是一个戏子!他演戏太多,又天生一个动人的相貌,所以许多有女儿的,为了自私计算,总愿意自己做这人的亲戚。女人呢,又极容易为陈白的外貌所诱,没有不愿意…可是我不欢喜他,我太明白这个男子了。他爱我的方法用错了,他以为女人全是那么愚蠢。 " “你的议论太多了。” “因为在舅父面前,我学习一切。” “可是舅父是沉默的。” “是!是!虽然沉默,舅父是比别人能够听我的道理的。” “唉,你的道理真多,今天舅父也听够了,你去了吧。” 走到门边,萝忽然又回身转来,站到门边不动了。 "why?" “舅父,我告你,若是士平先生问到我爱谁,你说我爱陈白。” 舅父笑了起来,“我不懂这意思!说明白点,你先不是说过,不能让一人独占吗?为什么又使一些人知道你是被人独占?” “我要舅父这样说总不会错。”说完,走去了。 听到匆匆的下楼梯脚步的声音,绅士想起来了,“士平先生一定要学年青人做呆事,为这有纤细神经的少女隐约觉到了。”这想象使绅士生出了一点忧愁,然而当计算到这里时,他却笑了又笑的。
