Chapter 62
Chapter 62
At the end of October, just before the monthly school exam, Jing Ruicheng felt that he was about to face another disaster when he saw his English score. He lay down on the desk and was depressed all afternoon. After school, he dared not go home , I had no choice but to follow Tang Shi to the Cao’s Liyuan to watch the opera in vain, who knew that the opera was not enjoyable. I met a group of rascals who came to smash the scene and yelled endlessly. Tell Zhou Mei what you saw today.
Jing Yuan was peeling apples in the living room of the Jing family mansion, when he saw Rui Cheng returning dejectedly, he hurried up to greet him, "Rui Cheng, you're back."
"Dad" Jing Ruicheng said hello, and was about to bypass him and go upstairs.
"Let's eat some fruit." Seeing that he was worried, Jing Yuan coaxed him gently, but because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he could only slowly follow behind him.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Jing Ruicheng had a flash of inspiration, and turned around immediately, with anticipation in his eyes, "Dad, can you help me with something?"
......
At night, the noble crystal chandelier reflected the bright yellow light. Jing Yuan had just finished taking a shower, and he was wiping his dripping hair. Seeing Zhou Mei sitting on the bed with his brows furrowed, he seemed to be thinking about something bothering him, so he took the initiative Concerned, "Go to bed early, don't you have to go to Xiushan for a meeting tomorrow?"
"Go to bed first, I'll take some medicine by myself later" The situation has been tense recently, Zhou Mei is under too much pressure, and it is true that she has not been able to sleep well for a few days.
"..." After Jing Yuan wiped his hair, he hesitated for a while, and tentatively said, "I'm going to find a private English teacher for Rui Cheng."
Zhou Mei was taken aback, and immediately turned to look directly at him, "I almost forgot his monthly exam, why, did he fail the exam again?"
"It's okay if you don't do well in the exam once or twice, it's over if you find someone to make up for it." Seeing that she was going to get angry, Jing Yuan hurriedly spoke out to ease it.
"Private tutor, what am I going to eat if I ask for a private tutor?!" Zhou Mei pointed to herself, got up and walked quickly towards Rui Cheng's room.
"Hey, Xiaomei!" Jing Yuan hurriedly picked up one crutch and followed.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Rui Cheng, who had already fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Mei standing in front of his bed with a cold face, directly overturning his body. Quilt "Get Up!"
"Mom..." Jing Rui was still in shock, her face turned pale with fright.
"Where are the rolls?"
Jing Ruicheng bit his lip, took out the exam paper from his schoolbag and handed it to Zhou Mei.
Zhou Mei quickly scanned the exam paper, and saw that it was full of red crosses, and next to the grade, Jing Yuan's famous name was signed.
"Xiao Mei, it's okay, it's nothing serious." Jing Yuan finally followed in, seeing Rui Cheng's face of despair, he quickly stood between their mother and child.
"With this score, you still have the nerve to sign it, isn't it embarrassing?" Zhou Mei shook the paper in her hand and said sharply.
"Rui Cheng didn't do well in the exam, so it doesn't mean that others will do well in the exam, maybe it's too difficult, right?" Jing Yuan smiled apologetically.
"Jing Ruicheng, let me ask you, how did you do in the Tang poetry exam?"
Rui Cheng hid behind Jing Yuan, weakly said, "Sister Shishi...full score"
As soon as this sentence was finished, Zhou Mei picked up Ruicheng's favorite toy gun and threw it behind Jing Yuan, Jing Yuan hurriedly pulled her, "Okay, okay, it's useless if you hit him, just try harder next time." !"
"With your education method, the Jing family will be defeated by him in the future!" Zhou Mei's eyes burst into flames, and her hair was about to stand on end. "Others can get full marks in the exam, but you can't even get half of them. Give it away, big fish and big meat, but what about others, who do you think you are worthy of, why can't you fight for it!"
"Mom, I was wrong." Rui Cheng burst into tears.
"What's the use of just admitting mistakes?" Zhou Mei slapped the paper on the desk beside him, "I haven't corrected the mistakes so far. You can correct them for me now. After correcting, memorize all the wrong questions. Tonight I'm looking at you, change it quickly!"
Rui Cheng took the exam paper with a snot and tears, and leaned on the table to correct the wrong questions. Zhou Mei sat on the edge of the bed beside him and looked at him. After he finished correcting once, Zhou Mei checked and found that there were still mistakes. After explaining the grammatical problem, he asked him to correct it again. In this way, he corrected it again and again. In the end, Zhou Mei didn't allow him to sleep until Ruicheng recited all the wrong sentences verbatim.
Helping Rui Cheng cover the quilt, Zhou Mei sat beside him, she stroked Rui Cheng's hair, saw that he was sleepy, already sleepy, Zhou Mei whispered, "Son, it's not that mother forced you, but you said, others If you can do it, why can’t you do it? Our country has been bullied for so many years because the Qing government was satisfied with the status quo and didn’t want to make progress. But the world is too big, everyone is making progress, but you stay where you are , I can only be beaten in the future, I don’t want you to be the one who gets beaten, do you understand?”
Rui Cheng squinted his eyes halfway, and nodded, but he seemed to have suddenly remembered something, before he went to see Duke Zhou, he quickly grabbed Zhou Mei's hand, and said anxiously, "Mom, I'm going to Cao's Pear Garden today, just in time I ran into someone smashing Aunt Xiaobai's place, and heard from the people below, it's not a day or two."
"After passing the exam like this, I am so excited to go to the playground!" Zhou Mei nodded his head helplessly, "Mom understands, go to sleep."
At this moment, it was already two o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night, and of course Jing Yuan didn't sleep. He was sitting in the study, smoking a cigarette and reading a book. Junming.
"Dad, why aren't you sleeping?" Jing Yuan put down the book with a look of surprise.
"It's such a big commotion, your mother and I woke up early." Jing Junming sat on the sofa beside him and sighed softly, "Children, you should suffer a little. If you can't understand what you can do in the future, what can you do on weekdays?" Li, don't pamper him too much."
"Got it, Dad"
"Yeah..." Jing Junming got up slowly, "It's over, you tell Xiaomei to go to bed early, she is not in good health."
"it is good"
Three days later, on an unusual evening, with the red lanterns rising slowly under the eaves, the Cao’s Pear Garden was full of seats as always, and there was a long queue in front of the ticket counter, which was extremely crowded. Solicit customers at the corner and sell the tickets for double the price. Even so, there are still many people who come here to pay for it.
On the water sign at the entrance of the theater, there are four big golden characters printed: Farewell My Concubine.
Although the front stage is lively, they don't know that the backstage is even more lively. Today's play is Xi Zibai's home, but some people are dissatisfied that in recent years, the major theaters in Chongqing are always occupied by Xi Zibai, and they come directly to make trouble, and this troublemaker The protagonist, of course, is Qiu Chufeng, who was popular in the past few years, plus a few of his followers.
In fact, they were the ones who made troubles in the past few times, but they made troubles and saw no one to answer them, so they came directly to the backstage today.
The two fully-dressed Danjiao pointed at each other, cursing vigorously. The one on the left in black pleated Tsing Yi pointed at the sword-horse female Dan in armor and said in a strange way, "My concubine Yu followed Chu in her early 20s." Overlord is gone, you are a woman in her 30s, you still have the nerve to pretend to be Concubine Yu, bah~"
In fact, Concubine Yu was originally dressed in ordinary Tsing Yi, but after the gradual development of the new play, actor Bai felt that Concubine Yu had been with Xiang Yu for many years, and she should be a martial girl, so she created the costume of Concubine Yu on a Sword Horse.
"Hey, I'm an old man, but no matter what, I'm a woman, right? You're already in your thirties. You put on makeup every day, pretend to be a pretty boy, and you're unshaven. Don't scare me into being the overlord of Chu. "
"you!"
"Screw your hands! These little bastards are worthless!" The actor Bai picked up the silver gun next to him, and pushed away a few of his apprentices who were trying to fight him. You'll never have to shave again"
"The surname is Bai, just wait and see." Qiu Chufeng hurriedly hid behind Cao Hongye in fright. It's back!"
"Boss Qiu" Cao Hongye hurriedly turned around and covered his mouth, "It's very unkind of you to make trouble over and over again, you can't let Liu Ye hear this."
Yes, although actors in all theaters in Chongqing have the final say, but now, Shi Liu has the final say. He has shares in almost every theater, and he is the president of the Chongqing Opera Association. Give him a three-point thin noodle, seeing that the time has come, the drums outside have been beating in vain, thinking that Master Liu came to the scene in person to hear this play today, Cao Hongye dared not delay, and quickly apologized to the actor, "Boss Bai, you The adults don’t remember the mistakes of the villains, let’s go to the stage first~”
"Bah, Bai is not a good guy. He always picks up Gao Zhifei. Didn't you see that not long after Tang Xiangwan died, she turned around and ran to be the old man Shi Laoliu's concubine. I'm ashamed!"
"I'll go, which eye of yours sees me being Liu Ye's concubine?" The actor Bai laughed angrily.
"It's not his little wife, does he need to hold you up for so many years, you bastard?"
"Crack" a paper fan slapped Qiu Chufeng's face directly, the sound was extremely ear-piercing.
"Oh, who the hell dares to hit me?"
Qiu Chufeng turned his head and saw that Shi Liu had lifted the curtain from the front and walked to the backstage at some point. Behind him were several distinguished guests, including a woman with a petite figure and a lukewarm face. Wearing a dark green high-necked cheongsam, with pure gold hollow bracelets on both hands, and a shining diamond on the left ear, it can be seen that the family is rich. Behind her is a man with a beard on his upper lip, wearing a straight dress A dark suit with a pair of black glasses on his face.
The actor Bai was taken aback, isn't this Wen Song, why did he come to Chongqing.
"Mr. Huo, you are too arrogant." Shi Liu lit the pipe in his hand and said slowly, "I have a distinguished guest here today, and I don't want to waste time with you. If you are sensible, you can go on your own. You are not welcome in the theater."
Knowing that Shi Liu was here, Qiu Chufeng would definitely not get any benefit, so he flung his sleeves and fled in despair with a few followers.
"Xiaobai, I'm shocked, please." Shi Liu gestured for her to come on stage.
The actor Bai raised his eyebrows. She put on the headgear and was about to go on stage. She passed by Zhou Mei's side without thinking too much about it. Who would have thought that the woman dressed like a human would slap her ass, scaring her. She almost dropped the weapon in her hand.
The opera singer touched her chest, she glared at Zhou Mei, then at Wen Song with a complicated face beside Zhou Mei, and appeared on stage angrily.
When Shi Liu led the two of them up the stairs to the elegant seat on the second floor, his eyes were displeased, as if he didn't want to let Qiu Chufeng off like this, so he left first, and planned to arrange someone to teach Qiu Chufeng a lesson, or leave them alone.
Wen Song grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and kowtowed while watching the play, "Are they still there?"
Zhou Mei squinted at him and didn't bother to reply.
"It's been more than ten years, and it's strange. I can't see that you are quite interesting."
"Have you said enough?"
"Hahaha" Wen Song patted the melon seeds on his hands, and said with a smile, "You, your temper is still the same as before."
"To each other," Zhou Mei sneered, "You're still so self-righteous"
Wen Song grabbed Zhou Mei's hand, "Aren't you tired all these years? Some things should be given up. After this task is completed, come to Hong Kong, and I will take care of you in the future."
"You were so presumptuous just after Miss Sheng died, she died really wronged~" Zhou Mei shook off Wen Song's hand and said coldly.
"Could it be that you are still reluctant to leave, and promise to give to the Jing family for the rest of your life?"
"What I have paid for the Jing family is far more than you can imagine. You can use the property of the Sheng family to continue your life of debauchery, but I am not willing to give away my ten years of hard work like this!"
"Is more than ten years of hard work more important than your life? Your own life is going to be involved, do you know that!"
"I have the final say on my life, and it's not your turn to tell me what to do"
"Are you reluctant to part with the Jing family, or her?" Wen Song pointed at Yu Ji who was about to kill herself with a sword on the stage, very annoyed. He felt that Zhou Mei's current temperament had changed too much compared to the past, and the one who obeyed him The young girl seems to have gone with the wind.
"I can't even bear it." Zhou Mei squeezed the armrest of the chair tightly with her hand, "I have been in Jing's house all these years, the old man and the old lady treat me like their own daughter, and it is only natural for me to serve them in their old age. Xiaobai has been with me for so long, I can't marry her, but I will take care of her for the rest of my life"
Wen Song put his hands between his eyebrows, "Do you think you still have these chances after getting the money? Dai Li has been following you for a long time, and a task force has been set up. If you make a move, you will be arrested immediately." , How many underground parties have been locked up in Zhazidong and Bai Mansion, do you want to be with them?"
For most Chinese, the biggest enemy is often not outsiders, but their own people. Zhou Mei still doesn't know why.
"Isn't it your specialty to abandon the car to protect the handsome guy? Don't tell me, after all these years, I still don't deserve to be that handsome guy." Zhou Mei looked over coldly, with a chilling smile on her lips.
"You are really..." Wen Song was completely at a loss.
