Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Chapter 386: A man remains a boy until his death, and a girl’s big cigar!

Upon learning of the strong support from the two big bosses, Shu Qingchun and Zhang Henshui, Wu Youde was not only grateful but also felt that he had to express his support.

At the very least you have to go and say thank you and show your attitude.

Moreover, twenty days have passed, but I haven't shown up yet. This is a bit strange. I know that I just came back, but the other party doesn't know.

So, after breakfast, Wu Youde said that he was going to visit a friend today and would be back in the afternoon.

……

The last time I had dinner with Shu Qingchun, Zhang Henshui and others, before we parted, they left their addresses and invited Wu Youde to come over when he was free.

Therefore, Wu Youde knew both of their addresses, and when he left the house, he headed towards Houhai…

Shu Qingchun and Zhang Henshui were both great writers, and both of them were wealthy. So when living in Beijing, they naturally chose places with better environments, and Houhai Lake was undoubtedly the first choice.

More than half an hour later,

Wu Youde stopped at the gate of a building with two stone lions at the door, looked up, and of course there was no plaque with "Shu Mansion" on the door.

There was nothing above the doorway, with two lanterns hanging on either side.

The reddish-brown wooden door has a copper ring held by an animal head shining brightly, and there is a mailbox on the right wall. There is nothing else to note.

Wu Youde took a quick look around, confirmed the house number, then walked forward and knocked on the door with the copper ring in his hand.

After waiting for about two minutes, the door finally opened.

A woman in her forties looked at Wu Youde outside the door with a curious look on her face, "Who are you?"

Seeing that the other person was wearing a long blue cloth gown with his sleeves rolled up, Wu Youde guessed that she should be a cook or something like that, but of course he did not rule out the possibility that she might be a family member.

Wu Youde grinned and said loudly: "I am Wu Youde, I am here to visit Mr. Shu Qingchun today, please tell him."

"Wu Youde? Oh, okay, then wait a moment."

The woman wrote down the name, nodded to Wu Youde, and then closed the door again.

……

Shu Qingchun was watering the flowers in the yard.

Suddenly he heard the cook say that a man named Wu Youde was visiting outside the door. He paused with the clepsydra in his hand and asked in surprise, "Who are you talking about, Wu Youde?"

"Well, that's the name he said."

"Prepare tea, Da Hong Pao."

After giving instructions, Shu Qingchun put the clepsydra in his hand on the ground, turned around and strode towards the door.

The reaction was so great that he even asked me to make the best tea.

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then she silently memorized the name in her heart. This must be a distinguished guest, so she must remember it in the future.

……

Wu Youde was waiting when the door suddenly opened and a hearty laugh was heard.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I said, it's early in the morning, the magpie is chirping. Youde, please come in!"

When Shu Qingchun saw that it was indeed Wu Youde outside the door, he burst into laughter. He walked up to Wu Youde, grabbed his arm, and teased him with a smile.

"Your Excellency Qinglong has arrived, and my humble abode is honored. Hahahaha..."

"Brother Shu, your words are too kind. I don't deserve them!"

Wu Youde said with a smile, followed Shu Qingchun in, and looked around. This was a large courtyard with two entrances, divided into front and back yards.

Shu Qingchun invited Wu Youde to sit in the main hall in the front yard. The environment was very nice, with a sofa, coffee table, fruit plate, electric fan, and a carpet on the floor.

You can tell at first glance that the family is very wealthy!

"I should have come a long time ago, but I happened to be in eastern Shandong to collect folk songs some time ago. I was in a remote area and had no access to information."

Wu Youde smiled bitterly and said, "So I know nothing about Xiao Long Nu. Thank you, Brother Shu and Brother Zhang, for your righteous words. I am very grateful!
I just learned about this yesterday, so I am late, please forgive me..."

As he spoke, he placed the gifts he brought on the coffee table.

Two bottles of amber-colored Guilingji liquor in glass bottles, two boxes of chocolates, and two boxes of Cuban cigars.

This Cuban cigar is also produced by the system, the quality is excellent, Cohiba Behike cigar.

"Brother Shu, this is a health-care wine. It's a recipe passed down from my family. It's very effective in nourishing the body, especially for men...

You can try it, but don’t drink too much at once. Just drink half a sip at most each time. Do it gradually and don’t be greedy. "

Wu Youde pointed at the two bottles of Guilingji medicinal wine and said.

When Shu Qingchun heard this, he immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Oh! Is this a recipe passed down from your family? Haha, then I must try it."

Heirloom often means precious and effective.

After all, ancestors would not lie to their descendants, right?

Wu Youde pointed at the two boxes of cigars and said with a smile: "These are Cuban cigars. I asked someone to buy them from abroad. This kind of cigar has a mellow taste and rich aroma.

You can try this cigar for a change.”

At this point, Wu Youde raised a wicked smile and whispered, "I heard that these cigars... are all rolled one by one... on the thighs of young girls."

Ok? ? ?
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Shu Qingchun's smiling face, and then he stared at the two boxes of cigars without blinking.

A man is a boy until he dies!
This is always true!

Although Shu Qingchun is now in his seventies, he still remembers his original aspirations and his manly character.

This cigar was actually rolled on the girl’s thigh?
No matter what the production scene was like at the time, just listening to it is enough to trigger one's imagination and automatically draw beautiful pictures in one's mind.

This gift is hard to refuse...

Shu Qingchun sighed, smiled and nodded: "That's thoughtful, I'll have to savor it carefully, Youde, thank you!"

"Haha, this little thing is not worth anything, Brother Shu, don't take it to heart."

……

Here in Shu Qingchun,

Wu Youde stayed for more than two hours and wanted to leave. Shu Qingchun wanted to stay for dinner, but Wu Youde declined, saying that he still had to visit Zhang Henshui.

Shu Qingchun immediately understood his intention and immediately suggested going together.

Wu Youde readily agreed.

Zhang Henshui's house was not far from Shu Qingchun. The straight-line distance might be less than two miles, but the actual walking distance was far beyond that.

Zhang Henshui produced a lot and sold a lot, and his family became more prosperous.

A large mansion with three courtyards, all owned by the Zhang family.

The house is big, so there are naturally many people.

There are more than 30 people in the family, including 3 wives, 13 children, mother, and younger brothers and sisters.

This is what Wu Youde learned from Shu Qingchun, but after entering the Zhang family, he did meet quite a few people along the way.

The population is booming!

Wu Youde also saw Zhang Henshui's three wives in particular. After Zhang Henshui invited him and Shu Qingchun to sit down in the main hall, a middle-aged woman came in with tea.

Then two older women came in, carrying watermelons, candied fruits and other foods.

Shu Qingchun is a frequent visitor here, so he is naturally familiar with it.

I started by saying thank you to my sisters-in-law.

How could Wu Youde not know who these people are?

Hey!
The three wives appeared openly, which really made people envious...

Thinking about his own situation where he could only do things secretly, Wu Youde became even more envious. However, he could only envy them because it was his fault that he came here late.
Wouldn’t it be better if it was 1951 instead of 1953?
You can still live this upright life.

But then again,
Zhang Henshui’s situation is actually hard to point out, how can I put it…

Zhang Henshui's first and second wives are actually divorced, but they still live at home. They are divorced only in name, and they are still a family in reality.

However, if he takes his three wives out now and introduces them to others, he can only say that one of them is his wife and the other two are ex-wives.

It's impossible to say that she is his wife.

But everyone actually knows what really happened, and it is tacitly understood.

This practice is the current norm and can be considered a compromise.

The gifts Wu Youde gave to Zhang Henshui were the same as those given to Shu Qingchun, which were two bottles of Guilingji liquor, two boxes of chocolates, and two boxes of Cuban cigars.

Zhang Henshui was also a heavy smoker.

Whenever I am creating, I always have a cigarette in my hand. It not only refreshes me, but also stimulates my brain to generate inspiration.

In addition, he is also an old man who has not forgotten his original intention.

Otherwise, he would not have married a third wife.

Therefore, when he heard Wu Youde say that this cigar was rubbed on the girl's thigh, he immediately became very interested, opened the box directly, and expressed his desire to try it immediately.

He was also very generous. He cut the cigar, lit it and gave it to Wu Youde first.

Wu Youde declined, saying that he didn't smoke, and that smoking would make his brain dull and he would not be able to generate any inspiration.

Zhang Henshui and Shu Qingchun were amazed by what they heard. They both said that inspiration only came from smoking, which was exactly the opposite of Wu Youde.

Wu Youde laughed and casually said that he might be an outlier.

The Xue Jue was given to Shu Qingchun, and Zhang Henshui cut another one for himself, lit it and inhaled it with great pleasure, his face gradually becoming intoxicated.

"It tastes good, with a rich, mellow and fragrant aroma!" said Zhang Henshui.

Wu Youde teased, "Does it have the fragrance of a young girl?"

Zhang Henshui took another sip, closed his eyes and savored it for a moment, then nodded slightly and said with certainty, "Yes!"

There was silence in the main room at first, and then suddenly... "Hahahahahaha..."

The three of them laughed out loud, extremely happy.

……

At noon, Wu Youde and Shu Qingchun had lunch at Zhang's house.

The meal was very rich, with eight hot and eight cold dishes, and a full selection of chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef and mutton, of extremely high standard.

Meal room,

Zhang Henshui and Shu Qingchun had an in-depth discussion with Wu Youde on the plot of "Dragon Rider", even though they both openly spoke for Qinglong in the newspapers.

But in fact, there are still some regrets in their hearts.

They both agreed that the character of "Little Dragon Girl" was portrayed very successfully, very perfect, holy and flawless, pure as ice and jade.

But when the plot of "Dragon Knight" came out, this perfect image was shattered to pieces, which was heartbreaking.

Wu Youde laughed out loud and said bluntly: "You are so crazy, you don't act like writers at all."

Zhang Henshui and Shu Qingchun looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"Yes, that's absolutely right."

"Yeah, I'm addicted. Being able to make everyone addicted is undoubtedly a success. I'm going to try your writing style next time, Youde, hahahaha..."

Eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere is relaxed and lively.

The three of them are from the same circle, so they have a lot of common topics and there is no need to worry about a dull occasion.

Shu Qingchun asked Wu Youde about his field trip to eastern Shandong, and asked him if he had found any inspiration.

Why do you look for inspiration?
What problems occurred in the creation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" which are currently being created?
Hearing this, Zhang Henshui also looked over, his eyes full of concern.

As they are all writers, they are not unfamiliar with field research. On the contrary, they can empathize with each other. Everyone has experienced the situation of running out of inspiration and reaching a bottleneck in creation.

In this situation,
You need to go out for a walk, take a look, collect some ideas, and look for collisions of thoughts to generate inspiration...

Zhang Henshui said, "Why don't you tell me? We are all reading your two books. We can help you think about it and perhaps give you some inspiration."

Wu Youde laughed and shook his head, saying, "Thank you, brothers, but I'm not out collecting materials for these two novels this time."

"Oh?"

Shu Qingchun was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "That's... Are you planning to write a new book again? Are you preparing for a new book this time?"

He thought Wu Youde was going to open it three times, and he was immediately impressed.

To be honest, he admires the two books "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" very much, and thinks they are very well written, whether it is the character creation or the twists and turns of the plot, all are remarkable.

Sometimes, it's even a little surprising.

But if you want to write a work that is outstanding, you will undoubtedly have to invest a lot of energy, there is no doubt about that!
But now Wu Youde actually still has the energy to open three, that's really amazing...

Shu Qingchun glanced at Zhang Henshui opposite him and sighed silently in his heart. This was also a monster, and this monster was even more perverted.

He opened with seven!

Seeing the amazement on Shu Qingchun's face, Wu Youde found it a little funny and thought that it was time to reveal his other identity.

I'm not trying to show off, I'm just trying to clear up a misunderstanding.

Wu Youde smiled and shook his head, explaining: "Brother Shu, you misunderstood. I went out this time not to find inspiration for the novel, but for the song."

Ok?
Ok? ? ?
Shu Qingchun and Zhang Henshui were both stunned. They looked at each other and found question marks on each other's faces. Then they looked at Wu Youde together.

"song?"

"What song?"

"Yeah, how can this be used to find inspiration for a song? What does it have to do with the song?"

"I don't understand, Youde, what exactly is the song you are talking about?"

Seeing that both of them looked puzzled, Wu Youde chuckled and said, "It's like this. Some time ago, some soldiers from the Anti-Japanese War returned home. I went to the scene to watch the welcoming ceremony that day.

I was shocked and my heart was filled with emotions!
So I decided to write a song for these most lovely people, these greatest heroes, so that everyone can praise them and let them be remembered forever. "

"Forehead……"

"……Um?"

Shu Qingchun turned around and looked at Zhang Henshui, and found that he was also looking at him.

Shu Qingchun asked: "Lao Zhang, do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

Zhang Henshui said: "I understand it, but it seems I don't understand it. How about you?"

"Me too." Shu Qingchun said.

immediately,

He frowned and looked at Wu Youde, wondering: "Youde, I understand why you have this idea, and I completely accept it.

But how do you come up with the idea of ​​composing a song?

Aren't you supposed to be writing a novel?

Writing those stories and creating those characters that are worthy of praise, admiration, that's the right thing to do, isn't it, Lao Zhang?"

Zhang Henshui nodded repeatedly and said in a deep voice: "That's right, it has nothing to do with songs, we make a living by writing, we specialize in writing stories.

It doesn't match the tune of those songs at all?!"

"You two brothers are right. I think so too."

After saying that, Wu Youde changed the subject and said with a smile: "But I think I can give it a try."

"This……"

"..."

Don't you want to listen to advice?

Young people are ambitious.

Zhang Henshui and Shu Qingchun looked at each other again, and both understood what the other meant.

Well, I can’t persuade you anymore.

If you keep persuading people, they will become annoying.

The two of them thought so and tried to change the subject, but Wu Youde smiled and said, "Brothers, I am not overestimating my own abilities...

I really think I can give it a try!

I won’t hide it from you. Besides writing, I have another hobby, which is writing lyrics and composing music. So far, I have made some achievements.”

Eh? ? ?
Shu Qingchun and Zhang Henshui both opened their eyes wide, and this time they understood.

Wu Youde can also write songs.

However, although I understood it, it was still a little unbelievable!
You can write novels and songs?

Literature and art? ?
How is this possible!
I have never heard of such a person. It’s not that it can’t be done, but it’s extremely, extremely, extremely difficult!
"Youde, are you serious?" After a moment of silence, Shu Qingchun asked first.

Wu Youde nodded and said with a frank smile: "Of course, how can I lie in front of you two?"

After a pause,
He added: "My Motherland", "Liuyang River", "Socialism is Good", "We Are the Successors of Communism", and "Let Us Row the Boat Together".

Well, not much has been written, just these five songs.

I wonder if you two have heard of it? I'm sorry to make you laugh at my humble work. "

"..."

"..."

Shu Qingchun and Zhang Henshui fell into silence again.

After hearing what Wu Youde said, their CPUs almost burned out.

After a long while, the two men suddenly woke up as if from a dream, suddenly realized what had happened, and were extremely shocked. They all looked at Wu Youde with horror.

“You just said you wrote all five songs???”

"Did you write the song 'My Motherland'? Youde, are you kidding me? And that, that...

You also wrote "Liuyang River"? ? "

"Did you write the song 'Let's Row the Boat'? My little granddaughter sings it every day and my ears are almost callused."

"Youde, how come you can write songs? Don't you write novels?"

Faced with the two people's intensive and urgent questions,

Wu Youde smiled and said calmly: "It's just a hobby. Actually, I started writing songs first. After I wrote the two songs "My Motherland" and "Liuyang River", I started writing novels.

Huh..."

He spread his hands, smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that I have some talent for writing songs."

Shu Qingchun and Zhang Henshui looked at each other again, and then... they were numb! !

evildoer!

genius!

Wonderful!

Alternative!

Awesome!
These words intertwined in the two people's minds, making their thoughts fly and their hearts surge...

When they looked at Wu Youde again, their eyes had changed.
