Chapter 26
In the next few days, the two got along as usual, but there was more tacit understanding and less communication than before.
While Zhou Mei was recovering from his injuries, Mrs. Jing, Shi Liu, and Zhao Sihai also visited in person, and they were all surprised when they saw Bai Yuan taking care of her. Zhou Mei declined the Jing family's request to send a Filipino maid Her own kindness, even more so when she showed courtesy to Shi Liu intentionally or unintentionally, but at the same time did not respond. That appearance reminded Bai Yuan of how she was when she first met her, and she was as inhuman as a thousand years of ice.
Bai Yuan didn't say much during Zhou Mei's polite greetings, and even served tea and water in a decent manner. She also secretly speculated Zhou Mei's thoughts from the eyes of others, thinking that this woman didn't want to be quiet this time, anyway. There are enough rumors about her, and she doesn't care if the people in Shancheng make up another story for her.
Both of them have a normal temper, and they are so happy that others hum and chirp.
Bai Yuan may not understand Zhou Mei's thoughts, but Bai Yuan's thoughts are very simple. She just wants to follow Zhou Mei's words and take care of her until she is well. Luo is here, at first he wanted to stop him, but considering the recent situation, he also felt that only the actor Bai was the best person to protect Zhou Mei, and she cared for Zhou Mei, so he had to acquiesce, and came down a few times, Actor Bai got a lot of news from Zhou Mei, one of which really surprised her...
Zhang Huaizhao committed suicide in prison by taking advantage of the unpreparedness, completely cutting off the clue that the military commander finally caught.
Now that Jian Rong was rescued again, since it was God's will, she has less worries about the future. Regarding Dai Li's side, the actor Bai really did what Zhou Mei said, and found a reason to push him away. What kind of person was rescued, and where did she go, but she can be sure that as long as she is willing, she can be at ease from now on, as a carefree Mrs. Tang, and Jian Rong left her, There will be a better start. She is still young and has a long way to go. For her, this is just a missed opportunity.
At the beginning of April, when spring was in full bloom, Tang Xiangwan, who had just been discharged from the hospital, received a phone call, and his originally happy mood suddenly sank again.
He had to attend the Secret Meeting of the National Army in Shanghai, not to mention that he had to bring Bai Yuan with him, the chairman said, Master Mei moved to Shanghai from Beijing, appointed Xiao Bai, and had fun on the same stage.
This news is definitely not good news for Tang Xiangwan, but it is great news for Bai Yuan, who has not seen Master Mei for many years. The two are old friends. At the mansion, they hit it off, chatted at night with candles behind the stage, drank and played together until dawn. Master Nai Hemei was already a famous actor at that time, and the young and talented Bai Yuan was just a canary imprisoned in the mansion. Today, it has been a full seven years No, Mei once said to her friends, if Xizibai had not been controlled and had never been displaced, how could she not be among the names of the four major Kundans today?
So when Zhou Mei, who had just recovered from her injuries, had just returned to the spotless doze taken care of by Awang, and before she had time to sit down and have a sip of hot tea, the shiny classic car of the Tang family drove by, and the actor Bai put on Putting on the Bai Zhi cheongsam, her hair grew a little behind her ears, and she strode into the doze with bright eyes, with an unconcealable joy on her face, as if the spring breeze outside the door was also coming in.
There are still colorful colors in the doze, but there are only a few pieces of finished clothes left on the shelves.
"Here, let's drink tea." Zhou Mei seemed to be infected by her, and she was a little happy in her heart, without showing it on her face, she motioned to Awang to show Bai Yuan some tea, and added the green plums she just bought on the street to the tea bowl.
"I'm going to Shanghai!" Bai Yuan unceremoniously picked up the tea, and Awang on the side had already heard some rumors in the street, and seeing that the two seemed to be much closer than before, she didn't make a fuss. Noise, silently doing what at hand.
Zhou Mei was taken aback for a moment, but immediately returned to her original demeanor. She lowered her eyes and reached out to grope for the shelf beside her. Bai Yuan followed her movements to look. Not surprisingly, Zhou Mei found out from a basket of sundries. A pack of cigarettes, just as he was taking one out to put it in his mouth, was snatched away by Xie Zibai.
Bai Yuan frowned, "What are you doing, did you get hurt quickly?"
"Let me smoke one, I'm going to die" who knows that instead of being angry this time, Zhou Mei begged with watery eyes and a soft voice.
When the smell of smoke entered Bai Yuan's nostrils, she finally recovered from Zhou Mei's gaze just now, she blinked, a little regretful for being stunned.
"How long have you been going..." Zhou Mei took a long puff of cigarette, as if wanting to fill his empty chest, and then blew out a long string of smoke rings, "Are you coming back?"
"Of course I'll be back." The actor Bai returned to his previous excitement, "Do you know what I'm going to do? Brother Mei Lanfang wants me to sing on the same stage with him!"
"Mei Heming?" Zhou Mei's eyes lit up.
"That's right!!" The actor's white smile almost disappeared, "I haven't seen him in seven or eight years, and he was already a big brother at that time!"
"His appearance and voice are truly astonishing." Zhou Mei heaved a sigh of relief, and even laughed, "Since when did you have friendship with him?"
"At that time, the Marshal's mansion got married, and in order to please the old man, Young Marshal Zhang went to Beiping to invite Brother Mei to come and sing. It was also a predestined relationship. The drunken imperial concubine was originally sung for me, but Brother Mei was already familiar with the play. Obsessed with magic, Gu Ziyi forgot that he was originally here to sing the song of Cailou, and he and I made our appearances at the same time, stepping left and right, and the two living concubines joined together, and the whole hall was quiet, No one dared to make a fuss, they were all scared to death!"
"Then what?" Zhou Mei pinched her cigarette, and suddenly became excited.
"Then I got anxious, thinking to myself, if it spreads out in the future, the Shuai Mansion will make a big joke, but Brother Mei is not in a hurry, he just listened to the reciting and started singing. With my wink, I pretended to be Concubine Mei, who had never appeared on stage before. The two of you fought each other, and you broke down the words one by one. I made up a lot of words on the spot. But the one who sang it was refreshing, and he sang himself into it, and when the play was over, the audience was full of applause."
"I believe in your ability to talk nonsense." Seeing her vivid words, Zhou Mei also listened with joy.
"So, when I got backstage, Big Brother Mei came towards me just after he took off his tiara. Guess what he said~" Bai Yuan raised her eyebrows.
"Say you are the natural Tsing Yi," Zhou Mei blurted out.
"..." Bai Yuan opened her mouth in surprise.
"Who made you a blessed daughter?" Zhou Mei took a sip of tea, as if recalling something. "Actually, the first time I saw you, I thought you looked like a person. Unfortunately, she has passed away."
"kindness?"
"Xue Yueqiu"
"Pfft..." Bai Yuan almost spit out a sip of tea, "Beimei Nanju, do you think so highly of me?"
In fact, Xi Zibai also knows how the common people in Chongqing think of her. She is just like that. Apart from her messy private life, she has not been criticized by anyone when it comes to singing. Some people even said that she is Xu Wen's reincarnation. She just laughed it off and just did what she was supposed to do. She really loved singing from the bottom of her heart.
"When it's not messy, it's okay." Zhou Mei was afraid that she would get too complacent, so she hurriedly stopped talking, "It's also a coincidence that you left, and I just happened to go to Guangdong to buy materials."
"He Shiliu?!" Bai Yuan was startled, and put down the tea bowl with a bang, which made Awang tremble.
"Um"
"You are just recovering from a serious illness, so you are not suitable for running around!"
"Are you trying to make my store close down on purpose?" Zhou Mei went to the counter and took out the account book, and shook it at Bai Yuan, "I can only go in and out for two consecutive months. What will I eat in the future? You will wear it in a smug way." What?"
"..." Bai Yuan choked, and wanted to say something to help her, but she was afraid that the heat would annoy Zhou Mei, "That's not true, but why do you always hang out with that bastard?"
"When I arrive in Guangdong, I have a special person to guide the way. I can eat and drink for free, and I have someone to protect me. I won't go with that bastard. How can I go to Shanghai with you, a bastard?"
"Okay! You can go to Shanghai with me, a bastard. When we come back, I will accompany you to Guangdong!" Seeing that Zhou Mei had been gentle and patient with herself after leaving the hospital, she couldn't help but start to push forward.
"I won't go to Shanghai anywhere." Zhou Mei's eyes suddenly became a little confused, and she said calmly, "Okay, stop arguing, and don't let me drive you out again."
As expected, Xie Zibai fell silent. She suppressed her anger and sat quietly for a while, then smoothed her hair around her ears, got up and walked outside.
"stop"
"What are you doing?" Bai Yuan turned her head angrily.
"What do you want?" Zhou Mei didn't know when she lit another cigarette, and while puffing, she asked faintly, it didn't seem like she was asking opera actor Bai.
"I want you to be safe." The actor Bai raised her eyebrows, stepped on her high heels, and disappeared into the doze.
Seeing that Zhou Mei beside him was stupefied with a cigarette in his mouth, Awang was busy with the work in hand, but he didn't think that the people around him ran towards the door like the wind, Awang was shocked and said, "Master, what do you do?" What!! You are hurt!!"
Lao Cheng had just started the car and was not far away when he saw Zhou Mei chasing this way in the rearview mirror, and stepped on the brake.
"Ma'am, Miss Zhou..."
"Huh?" Bai Yuan had closed her eyes and was about to take a nap, but she rolled down the car window unexpectedly, and saw Zhou Mei, who was wearing a green silk scarf around her neck, approaching her in the ancient alley, and she had a momentary illusion.
Does she think those impossible things will never be possible?Bai Yuan asked herself in the bottom of her heart.
"I just asked you, what clothes do you want?"
Zhou Mei wanted to approach her, but for some reason, she stopped in a timely manner. The two of them kept a suitable distance, they could look at each other and hear each other.
Xi Zibai, who was still in his own thoughts, hesitated for a while, bit his lower lip suddenly, and then said with a playful smile, "Wedding dress!"
"..." Zhou Mei had no choice but to "stop making trouble"
"I've been married twice." The actor Bai laughed at himself, "I haven't worn a wedding dress once."
Zhou Mei touched her temple with her finger, sighed softly, turned her head and left.
Bai Yuan poked her head out of the car window until Zhou Mei's figure approached Fake Sleep again, and sighed "drive"
During the doze, the bowl of tea that Xi Zibai drank was still in place, the tea in it was empty, only a green plum was left, Zhou Mei sat back where Xi Zibai had sat, looked at the plum, for a moment, He couldn't help but put his hand against his temple again.
She must be crazy.
Otherwise, why would you want to see her a few more times before parting.
