Journey To the World of Film and Television

The wind is blowing, and the rain is like a torrential rain.

Before the dinner was over, the concierge saw someone running through the courtyard against the wind and rain, so he lifted the lantern and went to the eaves, looked up and down at Song Yinzhang, who was drenched in water, and frowned, "Who are you?"

Song Yinzhang was holding the pipa, with his wet hair sticking to his face, he looked embarrassed, but he was very angry.

"Hurry up and open the door for me!" Song Yinzhang raised his voice and said domineeringly: "My wife's pipa is broken, so let me get a new one, which will delay the performance at the dinner party, and watch Lin Jixiang peel your skin!!"

The tougher Song Yinzhang's attitude was, the more the porter didn't dare to be suspicious, and quickly opened the side door to let Song Yinzhang out.

Stepping out of the gate of the Lin Mansion step by step, until he walked out of the eaves, the cold rain splashed on his face again, and Song Yinzhang suddenly felt like he had escaped from the sky.

The violent wind and rain covered the singing and dancing in the banquet hall. Looking back at the brightly lit Lin Mansion, everything seemed like a dream.

Shrinking his body and trembling uncontrollably, Song Yinzhang tried his best, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and he looked around the road. There were no pedestrians passing by on both sides of the street.

Due to the haste of fleeing, she failed to notify the carriage to pick her up at the door in time. Just as she was standing in the rain, not knowing where to go, the rain that had slapped her face suddenly stopped.

There was a crackling sound above the head, and the fine rainwater flowed down in a string along the two extended umbrella ribs.

Song Yinzhang was startled, his unrelaxed nerves tightened up again, he subconsciously picked up the pipa and threw it behind him, but his hand was empty, and the force he swung was like a mud cow falling into the sea, and was easily vented by a soft force.

Song Yinzhang quickly took back the pipa and took a few steps back.

"Miss Yinzhang, don't be nervous, it's me."

A bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating the figure in front of him. Seeing the familiar smile on Zhou Ji's face, Song Yinzhang's heart beat suddenly faster, and an inexplicable sense of peace quietly emerged. Nerves that had been tense for a long time, finally relax.

"."

Song Yinzhang tried to raise the corners of his mouth to show a smile, but failed several times. He wanted to call out 'Young Master Zhou', but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, as long as he opened his mouth, he would burst into tears.

Did not speak.

Song Yinzhang just looked at Zhou Ji with tears in his eyes, his dripping hair stuck to his face, and he didn't know whether the rain or tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.

"finished?"

"Well, it's over." Song Yinzhang used a pipa to protect his chest, protecting the cut-off book that Shen Ruzhuo was forced to write, and nodded earnestly and vigorously, "Everything is over."

Through the few bolts of lightning that illuminated the quiet room, Zhou Ji had already seen how Song Yinzhang planned to kill the three of them.

It can only be said that it is extremely dangerous.

If it wasn't for the use of thunder and rain to cover up the sound, if it wasn't for the two maidservants being dealt with in advance, once Shen Ruzhuo or the people in the Lin family heard the movement, Song Yinzhang would have difficulty escaping on his own.

Zhou Ji sighed softly, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "I let the carriage stop at the leeward side, let's go to the carriage and change into clean clothes first."

After going through dangers tonight, my spirits are highly tense. Now I can relax, and it is difficult just to hold the pipa firmly.

Song Yinzhang held the pipa with difficulty, trying to free one hand to catch it, but found that his wrist was sore and trembling, and he couldn't take the handkerchief away after several attempts.

Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help teasing: "Where is the ability to hit people with a pipa just now?"

Lightning flashed, illuminating the night sky.

Looking at Song Yinzhang's eyes wet with rain, Zhou Ji subconsciously picked up a handkerchief and stretched it towards Song Yinzhang's pale side face covered with water marks.

Stretched halfway, thunder sounded.

Only then did Zhou Ji feel that his behavior was inappropriate, and in a panic, he stuffed the handkerchief into Song Yinzhang's hand, picked up her pipa and said, "Wipe it first, and I will help you get the pipa."

Song Yinzhang had his hands empty, looked down at the extra blue and white handkerchief in his hand, raised his eyes to Zhou Ji who was holding an umbrella in one hand and holding a pipa in the other, a look of disappointment flashed quietly in the depths of his eyes.

After simply wiping the rainwater and hair from his face, Song Yinzhang followed Zhou Ji to a leeward alley not far away. The carriage of Liyuan was parked beside it, and the driver was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Ji helped Song Yinzhang into the carriage, and said with a smile, "Si Teng has prepared some change of clothes and clean towels for you; Xiao Kui specially boiled hot water, and will go back later to take a bath and have a good sleep. "

Song Yinzhang looked back at Zhou Ji with a complicated expression, hesitant to speak several times.

Zhou Ji showed doubts, and then seemed to understand something, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, I will guard outside, and I won't go far."

"Not this." Song Yinzhang shook his head, lowered his head and said, "I want to say. Thank you and why are you so kind to me?"

"Does it need to be said? You are the fourth shareholder of our teahouse. If something goes wrong, the composition and soundtrack of the troupe will stop." Zhou Ji explained seriously, waved his hands after speaking, and couldn't help laughing Said: "Just kidding, just kidding, we have been together for so long, we are all friends, why should friends care about these things."

Song Yinzhang pursed his lips and thanked him again.

The door curtains were lowered, and the splashing rain slapped on the umbrella, but it couldn't hide the slight rustling sound inside the carriage.

Zhou Ji coughed lightly, glanced at the carriage, and took two steps towards the entrance of the alley, when he suddenly heard a voice of 'Oops! ’, quickly returned to the carriage, frowned and said, "Miss Yinzhang, what's wrong?"

"My son."

Song Yinzhang lifted the tulle that had slipped from his shoulders to cover his delicate and fair skin, leaned to the window, and said anxiously: "Sister Hao Hao is still in the banquet hall, the situation is too urgent just now, I can't notify you when I escape the Lin Mansion." Nice lady."

"This?" Zhou Ji smiled slightly and explained: "I have already asked Xiao Wu to sneak into Lin's mansion and tell the good girl that you are out of trouble. Miss Yinzhang doesn't have to worry."

Song Yinzhang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he inevitably felt a little depressed, and said in confusion: "I thought I could solve the trouble by myself, but in the end I still owe you favors again and again."

"Why did Miss Yinzhang say that?" Zhou Ji restrained his smile and said sincerely: "You have done enough to face Shen Ruzhuo and Lin Fu alone. I believe that even without the help of others, you can definitely rely on your own efforts. solve the current predicament”

"As friends, what Sito Xiaokui and I can do is to prepare a few clothes and boil a bucket of hot water. I'll take you home."

Zhou Ji put away his umbrella and leaned against the carriage, showing a faint smile.

"drive me home."

"go home."

Song Yinzhang looked blankly at the balance light hanging from the roof of the car, and unknowingly, he also sat down with his back against the car.

"Young master! The message has been sent."

A moment later, a black shadow flew across the night sky, flew down to the entrance of the alley, and walked quickly towards this side.

Song Yinzhang was awakened by the coachman's voice, only to realize that Mr. Zhou was still in the rain outside, so he quickly changed his clothes, lifted the curtain of the car and apologized to Zhou Ji.

When Zhou Ji got into the carriage, Song Yinzhang found that he was in a hurry to change his clothes just now, and all the used towels and wet clothes hadn't been cleaned up in time. The permeable obscene clothes were tidied up again in a frenzy, and finally shrunk shyly in the corner of the carriage, not even daring to look at Zhou Ji again.

The street at night is too deserted, the closed carriage keeps the crackling rain out, Zhou Ji sniffs the faint fragrance that has not dissipated from the carriage, sitting by the window seems to be able to feel the residual warmth coming from the cushion.

Seeing that it was getting quieter and quieter, Zhou Ji coughed lightly, and asked the coachman about Lin Fu.

Although Song Yinzhang was a little shy, he also raised his head, showing a hint of nervousness.

I learned from the coachman that just now he was ordered to sneak into the banquet hall of the Lin Mansion to look for Zhang Haohao, but it turned out that there was no one in the banquet hall at all, and all the guests, including Lin Sansi, went to a quiet room in the side yard.

Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle of the scene, he found Zhang Haohao and told her the news that Song Yinzhang had escaped from the Lin Mansion. When he came back, he moved to the front for a few more curious glances, and found that Shen Ruzhuo had had an affair with two maidservants in the Lin Mansion. Sansi blocked him.

Zhou Ji glanced at Song Yinzhang with a strange expression, Song Yinzhang's expression changed slightly, and he was about to explain something, but saw Zhou Ji gave her a thumbs up and praised: "Shen Ruzhuo is completely defeated by your move, let's not talk about Lin San Si will deal with him like this, and the Shen family alone will not protect him because of their family style and reputation."

"Young master, don't you think I'm doing something vicious?" Song Yinzhang asked worriedly.

"It's all about returning to the body in the same way as others. If you want to say that they are vicious, they are also vicious."

Zhou Ji smiled indifferently, then thought of something, and said with a straight face, "But this Shen Ruzhuo has suffered such a big loss, it's hard to guarantee that he won't jump the wall. In addition to teaching the troupe musicians on weekdays, you can learn some self-protection from the troupe's martial arts students." Even though there is no real energy in the inner family, just relying on physical skills is enough."

Before he knew it, the carriage had already driven into the pear garden.

He didn't come back for many days, and although he could only see the hazy scene of the rain through the occasional flashes of lightning, Song Yinzhang still felt very familiar and friendly when he set foot in the garden.

It was already too late, and Song Yinzhang could be said to be physically and mentally exhausted and exhausted this day.

Jianjian greeted Si Teng Hongkui, and Hongkui advised her to take a bath and rest quickly, and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else.

Forced to soak in the overheated soup, Song Yinzhang went back to the room and fell asleep, holding her pipa tightly in his arms, as if only in this way could he gain a sense of security.

The wind and the rain are coming.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the earth, and Chi Yanei, led by He Si and other subordinates, are cleaning up the mud on the street dejectedly. Something that can still be used.

I am very fortunate.

Luckily, they scraped together and borrowed money from Wangyuelou, otherwise they would have lost their last bit of energy in staying in the capital if they were to suffer from this natural disaster.

It's just that the more important thing right now is to stabilize the landlord.

Don't let the landlord know that they have mortgaged the rented storefront to the pawnshop without knowing it.

Faced with such natural and man-made disasters, the landlord is actually very guilty. Hearing that Zhao Pan'er still intends to 'renew the lease', he is full of joy and cannot stop praising Mrs. Zhao for her righteousness!

After the landlord left, Zhao Pan'er signaled to Sun Sanniang not to pick up things in the ruins. The tea sets and furniture in the store were too damaged, even if they were repaired, they were not suitable for placing in the restaurant.

Sun Sanniang looked around with some distress. After all, this is the family property of the three sisters who worked hard.

I didn't go around looking for someone to borrow money, and I didn't violate the law or cheat. Now the sisters are separated and the teahouse is ruined.

Sun Sanniang inevitably felt a tinge of desolation in her heart.

"At least. At least clean it up, right? If it goes on like this, the landlord will inevitably become suspicious."

Zhao Paner opened his mouth and said quietly: "Okay, if you are too busy, you can call Zhaodi to help you. It rained so much last night, and many shops on the street were damaged. I will go to Wangyue Tower to have a look at it first. There's not much loss there."

yes! The final payment has been settled, and the contract has been established. Now Moon Tower is their property. If it turns into ruins like this place, then it will be lost!

Not caring about being sad, Sun Sanniang's face turned serious, and she said with a serious expression: "Well, Paner, you can go quickly, I will simply tidy up here and go to Wangyue Tower to find you."

Zhao Pan'er nodded, left the teahouse and walked towards Bianhe.

Along the way, there are silt overflowing from the bottom of the river and trees and grass sheds blown down by the strong wind.

Some shops were almost as damaged as their teahouses, while some were safe and sound in the wind and rain, such as the Tongfu Teahouse by the Bianhe River.

However, the main body of the teahouse is intact, but the leaves, sundries, and mud scattered around still need to be cleaned up.

Hearing that Zhou Ji was about to go to the teahouse to check the situation, Song Yinzhang woke up early in the morning and said that he would go back to Jiaofang to find Sister Haohao to report his safety, and by the way, he went back to see Sister Pan'er and Sanniang half-hidden.

Walking along the Bian River all the way, when the two passed a pier, they happened to see a group of soldiers in official uniforms with sabers blocking the pier aggressively, as if there was some dispute.

There are pedestrians all around, all looking in with their probes.

The pier was muddy, with sandbags on both sides.

"Remember that there is a wharf in the twelve lines managed by Chi Ya Nei? I reminded him last time, didn't he take it to heart?"

With a thought in mind, Zhou Ji stopped Song Yinzhang and called her to join in the fun.

When the two approached, Zhao Pan'er's righteous voice came from the innermost part of the crowd: "You talk about scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the cheapest are merchants. If you have the ability, don't drink the wine made by merchants, don't wear merchant's clothes, and don't eat merchants." Good luck!

What are you doing when they are trying to save the river, when they are cleaning up the silt? ! What are you doing while they are desperately trying to rebuild Tokyo? ! In my opinion, it's not people who are cheap, but your hearts that look down on people! "

(To emphasize again: The tea house on Maxing Street was rented by Zhao Paner, and the rent was 50 guan a month, which was mentioned more than once in the play.)

(I don’t know whether to pay a deposit for renting a facade in ancient times, and I don’t know if the rent is paid once a month, or if it’s three times a deposit, and Wubi means if. , you can get back the deposit of 150 guan; in the play, the tea house was mortgaged without telling the landlord, and only 100 guan was mortgaged by coercion.)
