022 Dinner

What can happen in ten years?

Ten years can make the fine trees tower into the sky, ten years can make the heroes grow old, ten years can make a young boy famous in Beijing, and his skills are the best in the world. Ten years, spring and autumn, cold and heat, old friends turn into bones, and green hair turns into white hair.

Man, how many more decades are there?

The courtyard of Xifucheng's major was very lively. Ever since Su Qing and the others were born, many people in the capital had wanted to send their children in over the years, and the threshold for apprenticeship was almost broken.

In the evening.

The old master, who was missing a front tooth, smiled and walked quickly to Master Guan's side.

"Master Guan, someone is here to see you!"

"Ah? Who is it?"

Mr. Guan, whose beard and eyebrows were completely white, was now sitting tremblingly on the Grand Master's chair.

"Xiao Qing!"

Master Guan took a quick look and asked:

"Where is the person?"

The master pointed at the person coming in from the door.

"Where can I put it?"

Master Guan raised his eyes in an old-fashioned manner, looking a little laborious. When he saw Su Qing's face, he looked at it carefully for a few more times before saying, "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

When he met the master, Su Qing naturally didn't know how to wear Western things. He changed into a light blue gown, smiled, walked to the master, and was silent for a while.

"I encountered something, and I have to leave Peiping tomorrow. Come and let me know, otherwise I will always feel empty in my heart!"

"Is it because of your face?" The old man was stunned for a while. Although he was old, his heart was like a mirror. He asked again: "Where are you going? Are the two monkey cubs following you?"

Su Qing poured tea for the old man.

"I plan to go to Hong Kong. Things are getting more and more uneven in the south. Why don't you come with us?"

Master Guan said hoarsely. "It's alright. I'm leaving with you. Those monkeys might turn things upside down and ruin what I taught you. Besides, I've been here all my life. I'm going to leave with you."

In the end, the fallen leaves have to return to their roots, forget what I taught you - "

Su Qing laughed a little: "One has to stick to the end!"

The old man looked behind him again.

"Those two little bastards didn't even say they came to see me? Could it be that they have a grudge in their hearts?"

"Look what you said, they have to do something and they'll come right after they're done!"

In this way, Master Guan breathed a sigh of relief, fell back on the chair and closed his eyes.

"Oh, you, you have been successful and defeated by this face in your life. I passed on my things to you and became a favor, but I didn't save the face. I expected you to be promoted.

Our status as an actor, in the end, is nothing but joy!"

"Aren't our three brothers becoming horns after all?"

Su Qing smiled.

"How can it be the same? Let's not talk about it, but you are just your own person. Don't look at it on the surface and become a different person, but behind the scenes, those onlookers still think that we are low-ranking people. From now on, we will be different.

He is no different from a little leper. In the end, nothing will be left behind, just a bowl of loess to absorb the beautiful bones!"

Mentioning the little leper, the old master felt like he had a knot in his heart, like a knot that couldn't be untied. It had been tangled in his heart all these years. When Su Qing heard the name, his expression seemed very calm, and there was nothing strange about it.

After finishing speaking, the old man sighed: "Well, in these troubled times, life is not easy. What else can we hope for? Will you come back?"

Facing the old man's rather cloudy eyes, Su Qing's heart trembled inexplicably. After all, although this master was strict and cruel, what he could teach was not ambiguous, and he mostly abided by the rules passed down from generation to generation.

"Maybe he won't come back!"

The old master was silent for a while and nodded.

"You are the most stable among the three of you. The two of them have never seen anything else in the world except singing. You have to take care of me. However, I can rest assured that Peking Opera is on you. Don't miss out when you go out.

You ruined my things!"

Su Qing naturally answered them one by one, and he took out several land deeds and house deeds. "This is the deed of Longfeng Tower. I don't know when I will come back after leaving. I just want to keep you in mind, and I will also take it as a thought in the future."

Give the juniors in the troupe a place to eat!"

The old man didn't answer, but glanced at him and pushed his hand away. "You, why are you confused again at the end of the day? I'm almost dead. You gave them this thought. When I leave, you will

Maybe there will be trouble again. These days, half a piece of cake can kill someone. If they can survive starvation, take it back!"

"Hey, it's up to you!"

Su Qing thought about it and stopped forcing it. This was what he said.

The old master leaned up and murmured:

"I have only done two glorious things in my life. One was when I was singing opera, I showed up at the "Dragon and Phoenix Tower", which was only half a step away from the corner. The second one,

You are the one of the three characters in my "Happiness", but you are the only one with unparalleled reputation and unparalleled elegance. You actually changed the expression "listening to a play" to "begging for a play", which makes you blush, okay!"

The more he spoke, the louder he sounded, as if he was singing, and a flush appeared on his face. He looked full of energy and his face was flushed, but the muscles and bones in his neck were exposed, and half of his body was raised straight up, as if he was struggling to get up.

Su Qing's eyes changed, and she hurriedly stroked the old man's chest and said: "Master, please be gentle, be gentle!"

Follow his strength.

"Uh-huh-"

Then he heard Master Guan let out a long, low breath as if a bellows had been opened in his throat. Only then did the flush on his face subside, and he sat back down heavily.

"Ouch, what's going on?"

Outside the door, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou came in. Seeing that the old man's face turned pale, they hurried over and knelt down in front of the old man with a plop.

After taking a few breaths, the old man calmed down. This old man was most afraid of being overjoyed or sad. He was afraid that when he saw the three apprentices he had taught him, he was about to leave. He felt so angry that he almost couldn't swallow his breath.

Su Qing also lifted up her clothes and knelt on the ground.

"Okay, everyone is here!"

The old master raised his eyes and looked at the three people. He turned his eyes and looked at the large family following the three people. There was also a woman here, wearing a blue and white cheongsam and carrying a luggage.

Duan Xiaolou said he wanted to pack his things, so he actually went to Bada Hutong to redeem the person.

The three brothers kowtowed three times to the old man.

Master Guan waved his hand: "Hey, that's enough, I'm too big now, let's go!"

The old man's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. When they looked up again, they saw that the old man was leaning on the back of his chair with his eyes closed. He was about to fall asleep. He probably spent a lot of energy just now.

"How much did the compound get pawned?"

Duan Xiaolou said: "Six hundred yuan!"

Su Qing nodded.

"Leave a hundred yuan, I still have some savings, it's enough!"

Seven years of study and three years of service. Logically, this would not be completed until winter. However, Duan Xiaolou started early, and Su Qing and Cheng Dieyi started late. At this time, they were a bit behind, so they left one hundred yuan as their right.

Effective money.

After bidding farewell to Master Guan, the group of people went out, and their worries were gone.

He saw two carriages parked outside the alley. Su Qing glanced at the men in the street who were looking this way. He didn't hide them. He spoke very softly and calmly.

"There's no need to wait for tomorrow. You can leave the city later. There is a forest in the south. I bought a yard there a few years ago. You go and wait there. If I don't come back by dawn, you go first and go to Tianjin. I'll be there when I'm done.

Go south!”

"Brother, if you want to leave, let's go together!"

Cheng Dieyi was shocked.

Su Qing just smiled sadly. He looked at Tian Xiao'e and the others again, and finally laid his eyes on Duan Xiaolou.

"Stop being so angry. I have to go to a Hongmen Banquet today. If you stay, I won't be able to do anything about it!"

As he was talking, some rough-and-tumble men in black shirts and jackets gathered around him. The leader, a black-faced man, raised his hands and said with a smile: "Boss Su, Fourth Master Yuan asked me to pick you up. When do you think we are leaving?"

Fourth Master Yuan must be determined to let him go tonight. He has already guessed this and has ordered people to wait. If he doesn't go, this group of people may not be able to leave.

Su Qing sneered in his heart and glanced at the fiery sunset on the horizon. "What's the rush? The sun hasn't set yet? I'll just go there when they leave the city, okay?"

"Look what you said, as long as you are here, I can say anything!"

The black-faced man waved his hand.

"Come on, get out of the way and let people pass!"

"Okay, let's go quickly, remember what I said!"

Su Qing took the sword box from the carriage and took off the gray cloth package. She watched with her own eyes as Duan Xiaolou dragged Cheng Dieyi onto the carriage. She felt relieved when she saw them all leaving the city.

He chuckled lightly, carrying the package on his back, holding the sword box, and turned around to look at the people waiting in front of him, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

"Okay, after so many years of singing and singing, it seems that I have to pretend to be the overlord now. Let's see how capable this House of Flying Daggers is."

"Boss Su is so proud!"

"Let's go!"

Everyone left, and under the flaming sunset, the figures were stretched and slender. The sunset glow was like blood, and the people's faces were hot when reflected.
Chapter completed!
