Chapter 150: On the Pear Orchard(1/2)

Before going to the opera house in the evening, Li Changzhou took a bath to get rid of the scent Li Biwei left on her body - she put on powder, and Yang Qinglan's perception was high again.

It was really unlucky. Li Changzhou didn't think it was an affair at all. To him, this was 120% a disaster.

Except for Yang Qinglan, he doesn't want to touch any woman.

And before that - just on the incoming train, he had made an appointment with Yang Qinglan. Even talking to the opposite sex had to be divided. The man was left to him and the woman was left to her. As a result, not long after he got there, the woman sat on his lap.

Already.

In reflection, the car quickly arrived at Liyuan.

The Liyuan receptionist's eyes had long been sharpened, and he could tell who it was just by looking at the car's license plate number. Before Li Changzhou's car stopped, he had already walked to the drop-off point to greet Li Changzhou with a smile on his face.

As soon as the car stopped, the receptionist was about to go up and open the door, but was pushed away by Liu De who got off the car first.

Twelve bodyguards got out of the three cars behind them and quickly guarded Li Changzhou's car. Their eyes were like wolves, and the safety of the Browning pistol in their hands was turned on.

The grand ostentation made the noisy entrance to the Liyuan quiet for a moment.

"Second Master, we're here." Liu De opened the car door respectfully and ducked out of the way.

Li Changzhou got out of the car, still dressed as a handsome young man in a suit, and the civilized stick in his hand was replaced by a "Spider Bee Tentacle Cane".

He didn't rush in and stood by the car and looked around.

In the dark, the streets are filled with all kinds of cars under the light of old-style electric lamps.

Women either wear cheongsam or Western-style skirts, red, yellow, blue and white, colorful and dazzling, completely without the sense of black and white in old movies.

There are also speculative vendors, carrying fruit burdens and sesame cake baskets, doing temporary business.

The rickshaws are even more like an assembly line, delivering neatly dressed customers one after another.

These rickshaws do not leave after delivering customers, but wait at the door, either chatting with other rickshaw drivers or hanging out in temporary stalls, waiting to do repeat business from customers.

Li Changzhou looked away, turned around and was about to walk into the opera garden.

"Boss Feng! Boss Feng! Please!"

"The children at home have been hungry for several days, and we really have no money!"

"Boss Feng, we don't want wages, just give us food! Just one meal of cornmeal or a piece of pot cake a day! Boss Feng, please show your kindness, we will kowtow to you!"

At the corner of the street, a group of ragged men were kneeling in front of a car.

After a while, an old man wearing a long gown and a black mandarin jacket with a calm demeanor got out of the car. The men's voices became louder, and Wu Yaya knelt there.

"Everyone, everyone!" the old man said angrily, "It's not that I, Mr. Feng, don't want to help you. You have no money, and I, Mr. Feng, don't have any money either! Three million worth of sea goods have not entered the port until today, and I am also dismantling them.

The east wall is trying to make up for the west wall, and I can’t protect myself. How can I help you?”

"Boss Feng, please! Please!" The men just kowtowed.

The old man said a few words and returned to the car. The bodyguards from Liyuan came forward and drove the group of men away.

Li Changzhou turned around and asked Liu De: "What's going on?"

"These people should be workers at the dock," Liu De watched from the side, "Not long ago, it was said that the port encountered a sea freeze that had not been seen in decades. Ships did not come in for a month. Without ships, there would be no goods. There would be no goods.

Of course, these dock workers don’t have money to take the goods, but these are what I’ve heard.”

Li Changzhou glanced at those men again.

They may be old or young, but they all have strong bodies made by hard work, and they look like they have a lot of strength. At this time, these old men burst into tears.

One of the men cried so much that he collapsed on the ground, like a child who couldn't get candy.

The people around them turned a blind eye to those rickshaw drivers and stall vendors. As long as they didn't get customers or sell anything for a few days, the fate of the dock porters in front of them would be their tomorrow.

If we talk about the difference, it's this: these dock workers still have a place to cry, while they, the self-employed, don't even have a place to cry.

"This is our fate, this is our fate!" an elderly worker sighed.

This is our destiny.

It is indeed their fate, and their fate has already been clearly written in history.

Li Changzhou looked away and walked into the pear garden with a tentacled cane, feeling melancholy in his heart.

He had read about those hard days in the early 20th century in books, and had long been mentally prepared for them. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't hide his sadness, and his internal organs seemed to be gripped by those cries and shouts.

But he also knew that he couldn't do anything for these people, and their lives had ended long ago.

When you walk into the theater, you will see the stage and a stand connected on three sides built around the stage.

There are rows of chairs under the stands, and even the aisles are packed.

"The first concert in my life." Li Changzhou sighed, forgetting what happened just now, changed his mood, and was led into the box.

The box contained soft drinks, dried fruits, cakes, and some side dishes, including both meat and vegetables, served on plates. There were also two bottles of wine, one each of wine and brandy.

No matter how poor and unable to eat outside, it is always lively and luxurious here, making people wonder, is this really a world?

Feeling depressed and prone to wandering thoughts when idle, Li Changzhou asked Liu De to tell him a story.

"Second Master, today we are on Sun Xiaoyun's team."

"Who is Sun Xiaoyun?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Second Master, you have lived abroad for a long time and don't understand the country anymore!" Liu De smiled.

"Compared with you, Second Master, Sun Xiaoyun is nothing, but in Peking Opera, he is a well-known figure! When he sang on the stage, he was a famous Huadan. It can be said that he was famous all over the world, and ordinary warlords and tycoons were

Give her some thin noodles."

Finally, he flattered her again: "But if I offend you, Second Master, and you are charged with being a spy, Liu De, I will bring her head to you."

"Why do I need her head?" Li Changzhou smiled and said, "Go on."

"Okay." Liu De poured him a glass of wine first, then quickly put the bowl on the table, "After Sun Xiaoyun stopped taking the stage, her reputation not only did not weaken, but became even more popular because she taught many famous actors, and Chunhuang was the most outstanding among them.

one."

Li Changzhou took two bites of shrimp and listened with one ear.

Liu De added: "This Sun family class has another special feature. Second Master, what do you think it is?"

"What?"

"The cast is full of female actors." Liu De said with a smile, "The male characters such as Sheng and Jing are also played by female actors. Chun Huang is the most famous for Xu Sheng."

He couldn't help but admire: "I don't know where this Sun Xiaoyun has the vision to be able to pick out so many talented and beautiful women."

"You are quite capable." Li Changzhou nodded.

Yang Qinglan is doing odd jobs under her (this word is very important and must not be replaced by 'learning to sing'), how could she not have the ability?

"Second Master, you don't know that many wealthy men enjoy marrying their actresses."

"I will also marry one today." Li Changzhou smiled.

"Based on your appearance and identity, Second Master, pack it up!" Liu De gave a thumbs up, "Go to the Marshal's Mansion!"

The master and the servant laughed.

"I'm so happy."

As soon as the voice rang out, Liu De was startled, anger and wariness surged up at the same time.

I was angry because the twelve subordinates outside let people in without authorization, and I was on guard because I was worried that someone would assassinate me.

But when he saw the person coming, he immediately showed an ambiguous smile and left without saying a word.

"Sit." Li Changzhou pointed to the soft table opposite the small table filled with snacks and wine.

Zhong Yingru put down the gauze scarf draped around her wrists and asked nonchalantly: "What made my second uncle laugh so happily?"

"It's nothing, Liu De made a joke." Li Changzhou poured her a glass of wine, thinking about how to deal with her.

Is it the Pao Fist (a serious punch), the Hunyuan Thunder Palm (listen to the thunder in a silent place), or the powerful Bull Demon Fist.

During this time, Zhong Yingru kept looking at him.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" Li Changzhou asked.

Zhong Yingru pursed her lips: "It's nothing."

She saw that Li Changzhou had taken a shower.

Taking a sip of wine, her body warmed up and her legs rubbed against each other lightly.

But it's not possible now, the show hasn't started yet, maybe someone will come.

The best time is to wait until the Spring Emperor comes on stage and everyone is focused on watching the show.

Li Changzhou had the same idea. He waited for everyone to focus on watching the show, knocked her out with one palm, then waited for the assassin to come to the door. After dealing with the assassin, he went to find his Miss Yang.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still. He didn't see Miss Yang for two whole days!

He picks mugwort, and if he is not seen for a day, he will feel like he is three years old. He has not been seen for six years. If he delays it any longer, he will get sick.

Seeing his impatient look, Zhong Yingru pursed her lips tighter.

She was lying on a soft chair. Her apricot cheongsam was particularly slim. The curves of her breasts, slender waist, and slender legs were placed there like a dish with all the color, flavor, and flavor.
