Chapter 22 Amorous but Ruthless Annoyed

Little Caihong became an instant hit in Fengtian, and invitations poured in from all over the country.

The master Li Baiyin was overjoyed, so he waited for the first month to be sung, and then went to Peking and Shanghai to sing there.

During the period of the Republic of China, opera singers had the same status as prostitutes and beggars.

Li Baiyin is getting older, and he also wants to cultivate a successor: Xiao Caihong has excellent qualifications, and her voice, appearance, and comprehension conditions are even better than when she was young-light words, easy playback, good voice, and sound quality The low back is mellow, and the long lyrics are unforgettable.Just a little restless.

It's easy to become popular, but if you want to become the top figure of the "white school" who "brings voice with emotion", you have to work harder the day after tomorrow.

Besides, the social status of actors is low, if Xiao Caihong can be like herself, and she will be able to rely on a reliable influence, even if she can't stand up for a few years, it will be a good thing that makes people feel at ease.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar new year, she had just finished singing in the Daguan Tea Garden and was sitting in the background drinking tea for a break. A waiter came in to announce that a "young lady" wanted to see Xiao Caihong's boss.

Li Baiyin frowned, and thought about it for a while, thinking that since she is a young lady, and there is only "one", it does not seem to be a family dispute, because usually the first wife comes to demonstrate, and she has to bring a few relatives and friends Help out.

After all, when Xiao Caihong came to Fengtian from Tianjin, besides Fengtian’s money was easy to earn, it was also because she had a “dispute” in Tianjin as soon as she debuted last year. Boss Wang, a middle-aged man, has a big family and a big business. However, he didn't inquire clearly beforehand.

It has only been a few days since she arrived in Fengtian, and Li Baiyin has been watching her closely, at least before she caused any scandals.Li Baiyin went out to take a look first, and saw that the visitor was only fifteen or sixteen years old, extremely beautiful, full of student spirit, although he was surprised, he let Xiao Caihong go out with confidence.

When Xiao Caihong saw the person coming, her eyes lit up...

Feng Jiu also looked at Xiao Caihong in front of her: her figure is enchanting, her facial features are gorgeous and strong, she is a bit like her master, she is really a beauty, and in time, she will definitely become more attractive.

Feng Jiu didn't know how to address her, so Xiao Caihong said enthusiastically, "Miss, you can call me Caihong. I don't know why you are here..."

"Hello, Boss Caihong." Fengjiu put on airs, recalling the demeanor of the reserved ladies she met before, and put on a mature and dignified look, "It's like this, I'm a young man My friend, handsome and rich, I saw your performance a few days ago, fell in love with you at first sight, and dreamed of you, but I was too embarrassed to speak, so I volunteered to ask you out for tea on his behalf."

Xiao Caihong looked at Feng Jiu's expensive dress and full-bodied style, coupled with her extreme confidence in her appearance, her heart was half-believed, and her eyes couldn't help showing a little bit of eagerness .

Feng Jiu smiled inwardly: It is not in vain for her to go back and forth. After inquiring about several people, including her classmates and relatives in Tianjin, it was solidly confirmed that although Xiao Caihong only debuted in Tianjin for a year, she still has a good reputation. The reason for the bad...wasn't a perfect match for her slutty fiancé.

Xiao Caihong was happy in her heart, but she still had doubts, "I don't know your friend's name is..."

Feng Jiu casually grabbed the end of the braid behind her, and lightly fiddled with it in her hand, "His name is Ning Ruiqing, he has been abroad, and he is very tall." Watching Xiao Caihong look up and down with doubts about her, she continued her efforts He said: "Don't worry, we are all decent people. My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Fengjiu. If the two of you can form a marriage, don't forget my matchmaking money." After finishing speaking, she smiled sweetly.

.................................... ..
Ning Zheng suddenly received a post from Feng Jiu, asking him to meet at the "Yunlin" teahouse in the North Market at [-]:[-] p.m. on the ninth day of the ninth day.Ning Zheng was a little strange. Feng Jiu usually made appointments with her by phone, and they came out of the blue, so the possibility of her being unable to make the trip was greatly increased. Her narrow-mindedness made it easy to guess.

Ning Zheng recalled that she had just called the day before yesterday and asked about her itinerary, but she put down the phone without saying anything.I didn't expect a post to follow, what is it worth being so formal about?

However, it is really rare for the fiancée to take the initiative to invite her to drink tea at night instead of visiting the zoo or listening to shadow puppetry during the day.

Ning Zheng had no doubts about him—maybe it was because he was quite satisfied with listening to the play with him last time?The more Ning Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and couldn't help counting the days eagerly, and when the ninth day came, he happily went to the appointment.

But when he drank a pot full of tea, and it was already past the agreed time, Feng Jiu hadn't appeared yet.Ning Zheng was a little suspicious. Could it be that Feng Jiu finally decided to follow the example of the other ladies—it takes a while to date men at night before she appears reserved and worthy?It's not like her.Although Fengjiu is young, he is quite independent and does not want to be restricted by the rules and regulations of the world.

Finally, at two quarters past seven, the waiter finally led a lady to appear.

Ning Zheng stood up with a smile and looked up, ready to welcome his fiancée: If it is said that not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns, then they have not seen each other for fifteen autumns...

But when he saw the person's flamboyant white fox fur, the heavy makeup on his face, and the surprise and obsession on his face, his face sank immediately...

Feng Jiu was painting at home, and it snowed heavily in Fengtian yesterday. During the day, Ning Hongsi and several other high school classmates from the drama club called to ask her to go to the Lama Temple to see the snow scene.The Lama Temple is near the West Pagoda, one of the four major pagodas in Fengtian, not too close to her home.When my classmates go out, those who have a car at home agree not to take a car, but take the first motorcycle in the country that extends in all directions in Fengtian City.

Hongsi didn't alienate her because of his third uncle's engagement with Fengjiu. The contact was still in touch, and it was normal to meet each other. The same was true for other classmates, which made people feel warm.

Entering the boundary of the Lama Temple, the style of this building is obviously not from the Northeast - the moon gate with black tiles and white walls looks a bit like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River; a few wax mouths are parked on the dry branches beside it The sparrow is simply a ready-made meticulous ink painting.They had a great snowball fight for a long time, and on the way back, this scene still seemed to linger in front of her eyes, so as soon as she came back, she simply spread out the rice paper and began to draw.

The new ones on the wall are the "Mandarin Ducks with Dried Lotuses" and "Reeds and Cranes" that she has painted for a while, and they are all painted dozens of times before she is satisfied. I really feel that I am good at writing.In fact, she loves drawing birds the most, and Gongbi is especially suitable for depicting the delicate and rich colors and textures of bird feathers.

She couldn't help thinking, if the tiger head saw it, would it be said that she had benefited?

Do you want to take a photo with a camera and post it to him?Although it can only be a black and white photo, the tiger head should be able to see some tricks.

Feng Jiu studied under Mr. Li Daolin, a master of the Wumen School of Painting, and forced Hutou to accompany him. In fact, Fengjiu knew that Hutou liked painting very much, but he just didn't have the money to hire a master.

Hutou followed suit, but still insisted on using his own paints, rice paper and various brushes, so Feng Jiu had no choice but to let him.

On the contrary, Mr. Li is of high character, and he always treats the two students equally, and at the beginning he did not pretend to be polite. After getting along for a while, he was pleasantly surprised to find that these two students are good seedlings: Feng Jiu prefers freehand flowers and birds, with a clear and clean charm The style is elegant and elegant, which is quite Tang Yin's character; while Hutou is more fond of landscapes, with both thick and thin features. You can see the layered charm in the rough and simple, and you can see the childishness in the sophistication, which is full of Wen Zhengming's interest.

It is a pity that Hutou is too poor to afford the pigments needed to paint green landscapes, because these pigments need to use expensive ores such as ocher, malachite, azurite, and giant clam. Otherwise, with his line drawing The skill of color setting may not be able to draw the "Spring Scenery of River and Sky" left by an unknown Song Dynasty painter.

They studied for about three years. It was a wonderful time. The three teachers and students often chatted and laughed together, appreciating the calligraphy and paintings collected by the Tang family antique shop. Sometimes the teacher and the student collaborated on a painting , are all elegant things that make people always smile knowingly in retrospect.

Later, Mr. Li’s mother became seriously ill, so he had to resign from his teaching position and return to his hometown in Hangzhou to take care of his mother. His home address changed several times, and after a long time, he gradually lost all news. Father said, Mr. Li really misses the son and daughter of your mansion. He said that the two children of Fengtian Tang's family are rare talents.

At this moment, Qiu Sheng ran in in a hurry, twisted his hands uneasily, and whispered that Third Young Master Ning had come.

Feng Jiu's thoughts came back, and he paused: I'm a little sorry, according to the routine of a libertine, shouldn't I go to the hotel now...

Feng Jiu didn't care about it, he held his breath, and put his wrist on the little sparrow's eyes, adding another touch. In an instant, the little sparrow seemed to come alive, and the dark round eyes seemed to be able to speak. It sounds delicate and flexible, crafty but not hard, ground but not sweet.

In the corridor, the sound of footsteps like a gust of wind spread further and further, and then Ning Zheng, who was dressed in a lead gray suit, strode in, frowning, and saw that Feng Jiu was still standing quietly behind the desk, with his hand in his hand. Holding a wolf hair, he looked up at himself.

He walked over a few steps, supported the table with both hands, leaned forward, stared at Feng Jiu, and casually said to Qiu Sheng: "Go out and close the door."

Little Qiu Sheng was terrified, but she still stood aside bravely, refusing to let the young lady face this man who was clearly angry.

Feng Jiu looked as usual, and said softly, "Go, don't worry."

Qiu Sheng had no choice but to go out, closed the door gently, and then put his ears on the door panel and listened worriedly.

Feng Jiu looked back frankly.Ning Zheng's face was full of gloom, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth leisurely: "I don't know, so the upbringing in your house is like this - this is not married yet, just thinking of stuffing people in the husband's room, so virtuous to this I don’t know where I learned the rules.”

... This is too much Hey, the quarrel is not as bad as the ancestors, so why does it involve the upbringing of the Tang family?This is disrespect to his mother, and even more provocative to this motherless child.

Feng Jiu threw the brush onto the table with a "clack", and the splashed fresh ink was thrown into a series of ink marks, which instantly polluted the whole painting. Even though Ning Zheng was angry, he still didn't forget to take a look at the painting: the brushstrokes are quite Seeing his skills, he is wild and unrestrained, and his strokes are very stable. It seems that the painter is in a very good mood, and his deep and quiet eyes are instantly dimmed.

Looking up and looking at Feng Jiu, Ning Zheng realized that the whites of her usually blue eyes were stained with a few traces of scarlet, which made her, who was always elegant and beautiful, look a little strange and violent. He continued to stare at her calmly .

Feng Jiu stood up, walked around the desk and walked slowly step by step in front of him. Ning Zheng straightened up and stared at her.

Although Feng Jiu is tall, she does not have an advantage in front of Ning Zheng, but her momentum is definitely not lost by half.Feng Jiu straightened her back and stood with her hands behind her back. Because the earth dragon was burning in the inner room, she was only wearing a moon-white ramie robe, and her hair was always combed into a big braid of oily pine It was loose after taking a bath after coming back, and the long black hair has wavy curls at intervals, as if a piece of fine black crepe was draped over her body. The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, the beauty is so bright, Ning Zheng felt a sudden pain in his heart...

She looked up at him, and said word by word: "Indeed, my mother passed away early, and my father has always been neglectful of me. As I have said long ago, I am stupid, and I am really embarrassing for Mrs. , now, I will formally trouble you to hire another high school, you and I, from now on, we will dissolve the engagement."

When Ning Zheng heard this, the corners of his eyes shrank obviously, and a cold and stern look rushed towards his face. His hands were instantly clenched into fists, his nose rose and fell, and his eyes were filled with jet-black eyes like the dark clouds that were about to crush the city before the rainstorm. Feeling threatened, his emotions seemed to boil to the extreme in an instant.

This is the first time Feng Jiu has seen Ning Zheng have such a big emotional ups and downs: Since the two met, Ning Zheng spent most of the time talking and laughing at Yan Yan. Of course, there were also times when his face was cold. It can be said to be furious, hehe, it is also a kind of evolution.

But she, Tang Fengjiu, was not easy to get along with: it was originally a marriage contract that was reluctant to be put on the shelf, so don't whitewash the peace between the two, pretending to be a concubine.

Isn't it just that he found a beauty for him?If it were someone else's fiancé, maybe I would be so grateful for the kindness of my future wife; even if I didn't accept it with a smile, at least there should be a little touch of "everything is said".

That's great, as a famous playboy with a lot of bad deeds, he became angry from embarrassment and even accused himself, what's the matter, can he do it or not?

In fact, a child whose mother died early is likely to have a deep inferiority complex in his heart, and is extremely sensitive to such criticism. If the accusation comes from someone who does not want to see it, it will be even more sinful wait.

Why should he suffer such poisonous gas after his mother passed away.

How could Ning Zheng think that Feng Jiu would think of her dead mother when he was accused of "no tutoring"?Her father, Tang Du, is the big boss, isn't he?So this is probably a crime of wanting to add.

Feng Jiu didn't dodge or evade, she looked straight at Ning Zheng, her graceful shoulders straightened up, she couldn't care less about the safety of her eldest sister and even the entire Tang Mansion, and vowed to break with him at this moment.

Ning Zheng pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, and suddenly turned around, Feng Jiu could only see slightly undulating shoulders and a stiff and straight body from behind him.

Feng Jiu waited for a while, "Nothing to say? Very good, I'll just..." She was determined to do what she said, and she vowed not to act like a twirling little woman.

While talking, she turned around and walked towards the door. After a few steps, a tall and hard body was pressed against her back, and her body was also hooped into a wide and warm embrace.

Ning Zheng hugged her, his head fell heavily on her left shoulder, his arms were like iron, crossed in front of her belly, and tightened again.

"Are you really not afraid of driving me to death?" Ning Zheng's voice sounded muffled, and the fierce momentum just now disappeared.He buried his face in Feng Jiufengze's long hair, and smelled the fragrance of her hair again: I don't know what to wash her hair with, it has a cold fragrance, just like her, she can't even cover it...

Feng Jiu really wanted to answer "um", but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.

The mouth is happy, and maybe he will suffer other crimes: now that he has posted it, what if he kisses her forcibly again?Can't fall into the truth.

"You little girl, you are really cruel, but..." But, who made me fall in love with you?The voice gradually decreased until it became silent.

Feng Jiu suddenly understood, was a little sad, and even a little soft-hearted, but she still started to break his hand, trying to get out of his control, but it was only in vain for him to hold him tighter.

Suddenly, Ning Zheng's voice sounded again, but the tone changed, becoming hoarse and gloomy, with a hint of chill: "Tang Fengjiu, put away your little thoughts, as long as I'm still alive, in your life, you'll be the only one. It can only be my wife, Ning Zheng..."

You are the obsession I never had.

The love doesn't know where it started, and it goes deep——

Fengjiu's eyes suddenly lost focus and became foggy, revealing the confusion in her heart. She couldn't understand this kind of emotion. Even if Hutou left, she was just the heartache of losing a friend, a kind of emptiness. Unaccustomed to wandering, a kind of inexplicable sense of loss.

Then what is this inexplicable feeling between her and Ning Zheng?

Feng Jiumei didn't send it out, and complained all over.Apart from disgusting Ning Zheng for a while, there is nothing else to gain, and somehow his father found out again, it was a disaster for no reason.

Father came back very late that day, but he still rushed to her yard on purpose, and rarely reprimanded her severely.

Not much has happened yet, Feng Jiu's mouth was pouted enough to hold a bottle of oil, his face was gloomy, and a few small tears rolled out of his eyes.

Facing the second daughter who was born in poor health, Tang Du, who had never dared to speak out loud, was quickly defeated and could only clumsily take out his handkerchief to wipe his daughter's tears.Feng Jiu laughed "hehehe" in his heart at that time.

This is what Feng Jiu and Xiaobu learned hard, and it is indeed easy to make people feel compassionate, and then they are punished lightly, and in the end, big things turn into small things, and small things turn into nothing.

However, how did father know? Could it be... Can't you see that the dignified Marshal Ning is still suing like others?How nice.

Tang Du rolled his eyes at Feng Jiu angrily, "Don't be foolish, it's not Ning Zheng's complaint, it's...that little Caihong felt something was wrong, so she went back and told her master; her master... ...just happened to know an old friend of mine, and told me so obliquely."

In fact, Li Baiyin has an old friend from Fengtian who happens to be Tang Du's business partner. Now everyone in Fengtian City doesn't know about the marriage between Ning and Tang; His photos began to appear frequently in the newspapers, so Xiao Caihong recognized him at a glance.

As a result, the follow-up development was unexpected. As soon as Ning Zheng found out that it was not Feng Jiu, he was so disappointed that he naturally wanted to ask Xiao Caihong for clarification. Go, but Xiao Caihong was terrified when she found out that she was Marshal Ning Jun and imagined how many good things would happen from now on.

She thought, this is Young Marshal Ning, did she stab someone without knowing it?She immediately went back to the theater and told the master in a secretive way.

Li Baiyin slapped his hands after listening, sweating from fear: that beautiful lady came to talk to Xiao Caihong that day, and she also asked after she left, and learned that she was just an ordinary rich lady who expressed her gratitude to her apprentice Her appreciation, this kind of thing is common, she just let it go after hearing it, and didn't take it to heart.

In the end, I didn't expect Xiao Caihong to say half and half, this girl said that she would go out that night, but instead of going to stay at her aunt's house in Fengtian, she went to meet some friend of this young lady in private?
Ordinary men were fine, but it happened to be Ning Zheng.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is still something that Li Baiyin doesn't understand: that lady must have been narrow-minded, messed up the mandarin ducks, and played a prank, which is the way young and vigorous ladies do things.

She pressed Xiao Caihong again to see if there was any useful information in the secret?At this time, Xiao Caihong didn't dare to hide any more, she hurriedly resorted to all tricks—the lady even said her name was Tang Fengjiu.

For a person from Tianjin, who knows which green onion she Fengtian Tang Fengjiu is?

Boss Tang Du Tang is the richest man in the north. However, it should not be such a coincidence. Does it have anything to do with this Miss Tang?

Besides, it seems that Miss Tang has an extraordinary relationship with Young Marshal Ning, that's why she dared to make such a joke.

But no matter what, the young commander of the Ning family slammed the door and left. This...

In Fengtian, she was unfamiliar with the place of life in other places, and her eyes were darkened, so she quickly shook the phone to find an old friend to find a way. In case Marshal Ning was impatient, it would not be a matter of time to sweep them out of Fengtian or even the three eastern provinces. ?
The old man heard it well, and he also had a headache, but when he heard that the lady was called Tang Fengjiu, he immediately came up with an idea.

Just in the evening, he and Tang Du met at a game held by a common old friend. The gold master of Li Baiyin quickly pulled Tang Du aside, and explained the cause and effect in detail, hoping that Tang Du could get along with Ning Du. Zheng begged for mercy, and as soon as the words fell, he watched Tang Du, who was always known for his elegance and fairness, gradually become the same color as a pig's liver...

"..." That's it, Feng Jiu couldn't help being speechless, no wonder some people in the West said that even two strangers at the two poles of the world can get in touch with each other through at most six acquaintances.

Tang Du saw that his daughter's focus was completely off track, and he knocked on the table again angrily to warn her to restrain herself: My fiancé has already come to Men Xingshi to ask him about his crimes, so why do such stupid things in the future?
"What about Xiao Caihong?" Feng Jiu didn't expect Xiao Caihong to be so frightened, and felt apologetic, secretly making up his mind to buy more VIP tickets for her performances to talk about compensation.

Tang Du could only report to her, saying that he had told Li Baiyin's benefactor, that it was nothing serious, and he was going to go there with his son-in-law, and he would go to comfort him.

Feng Jiu felt that it was not easy to appease Ning Zheng: next time he asked her out, just go.

Tang Du looked at Feng Jiu's disapproval, and could only sigh with his hands on his forehead, and persuaded earnestly: "Feng Jiu, you don't understand men, and you are not married yet, how can you do such a slap in the face? Ning Zheng It’s also about saving face.”

Feng Jiu seemed to understand but not understood, and looked at him with a pair of scissors and eyes without blinking, exactly the same as his dead wife...

Tang Du's heart trembled, he suddenly lost his strength and couldn't say anything.

The marriage with Ning Zheng has no room for change, and Harvard is doomed to fail, Fengjiu laughed at herself to her friend Ge Luoli who came to visit her: "George Bernard Shaw once said that there are two major tragedies in life - one is not getting To get what you want, one is to get what you don’t want. I’m fine, I’ve got it all.”

Ge Luoli has been in China for half a year, and she has gradually learned about the great influence of Chinese parents on their children's marriage. She has nothing to say, and her emerald eyes are also saddened by it.
