Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 93 The Secret
It was an old photo, although it was well preserved, but the corners and corners were already covered with yellow spots.

In the black and white photo, there are two young women in their prime.Looking at the clothes, it is obviously the style of the 40s and [-]s, and it is also the unique style of Shanghai women in that era.

Two women, one in a dress and the other in a cheongsam.Those who wear western clothes are petite and have beautiful faces; while those who wear cheongsams are gorgeous and bright, with a sense of grandeur between their brows.

Standing next to each other, the two women are both smiling, but the woman in the foreign dress is looking at the camera, but the corner of her eyes is looking at the woman in the cheongsam, her eyes are gentle, with a feeling of concentration, as if the corners of her mouth The smile is born because of the hearty laugh of the woman in cheongsam.

Because of Song Xiaoye's strangeness, Chang Fengjuan also looked over, and even stood up and walked this way after seeing clearly which photo Song Xiaoye was looking at.

"Ah, you have a good eye, and you saw this photo at a glance. Well, this photo was left by my master back then—little girl, do you know who my master is? Well, at your age, I probably don't know..."

Touching the photo, Chang Fengjuan wiped the photo on the glass frame with her hands, "Many people don't know my master now, but when I was in old Shanghai, everyone knew her name—not just in Shanghai, but in the whole Jiangnan. , as long as you listen to Yue opera, there is no one who does not know the 'Queen of Yue Opera'."

As if thinking of something interesting, Chang Fengjuan lowered her head and smiled, and then said: "Wang and Queen are not one word, but two words. Wang is the king of Yue opera, and queen is the queen of Yue opera. The Yue Opera Emperor' or the 'Yue Opera Queen' come, my master is both king and empress. At that time, apart from my master Ning Wenxiu, there was no one in the whole Yue Opera circle who could sing both raw and dan roles. ..."

Looking at Chang Fengjuan who was deeply moved, Song Xiaoye thought for a while, but still resisted the idea of ​​asking that Teacher Ning for news, and just said politely: "Mr. Chang is now the blue one..."

"The little girl can talk, but what is my ability? You haven't seen my master when he appeared on the stage in the big world. At that time, he was so majestic—it's a pity that later..."

Shaking her head, Chang Fengjuan said with a wry smile: "I'm really old, everyone talks about ancient times, what are you talking about with your child? Things about that era will sound absurd to you..."

Do you mean that special era?
Song Xiaoye blinked, although she knew there was such a period of history, she really didn't know.

After coughing, she whispered, "I don't know Master Ning, but the other person in the photo, she..."

"You mean Song Jiu?" Chang Fengjuan said something casually, but after only one sentence, she came to her senses, "You know Miss Song Jiu? How is it possible, you are so young..."

Raising her eyebrows, Chang Fengjuan looked at Song Xiaoye seriously, "Your surname is Song?"

Song Xiaoye nodded, and frankly admitted that her surname was Song, "Mr. Chang, I came to visit you today because of my grandmother Jiugu."

"Miss Song Jiu's matter, what does it have to do with me being an opera singer!"

Chang Fengjuan, who was smiling kindly at first, snorted coldly, looked at Song Xiaoye, and said with a smile: "I heard that your Song family is still a famous family in Hong Kong, what can be difficult for you! It is still necessary Find me..."

This attitude? !
Song Xiaoye was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Mr. Chang, I don't know what kind of grievances and grievances there are between Grandma Jiugu and Master Ning, and you. Although I am here today, it is for Grandma Jiugu, but it is completely My own idea has nothing to do with her old man..."

Seeing that Chang Fengjuan's face was slightly pale, but she still didn't speak, Song Xiaoye said again: "You may not be very happy now, but please give me this opportunity to explain things clearly—is that okay?"

Glancing at her, Chang Fengjuan didn't speak, but turned to sit on the sofa.

Song Xiaoye hurriedly put the teacup in her hand in front of her, walked over and dragged a chair to sit opposite her.

"Mr. Chang, since I was a child, I knew that my aunt loved to listen to Yue opera. Over the years, she often went back to the mainland to listen to Yue opera. It stands to reason that she should have heard many famous operas, but she still feels regretful—— - This regret is that she has never heard of your play, Mr. Chang."

Chang Fengjuan raised her eyebrows, and instead of looking at Song Xiaoye, she just snorted.

Seeing her expression like this, Song Xiaoye, although a little uncertain, still said: "This year, Grandma Jiugu will celebrate her [-]th birthday. Her health has not been very good, and I am very worried that she will not be able to fulfill this wish in the end. That's why I took the liberty to visit, hoping to invite Mr. Chang to go to Hong Kong—I know that an old artist like you can't easily perform on stage, but I..."

"It's still the same!" Chang Fengjuan snorted suddenly, looked at Song Xiaoye, and sneered: "Little girl, you still think this is the old society, as long as you have money, you can invite actors to come home and sing?! Ah , that’s right, even though it’s not called singing halls anymore, it’s the same as walking acupoints…”

This is not right, Song Xiaoye quickly waved her hands, "Mr. Chang, don't misunderstand. Although I want to invite you, I definitely don't mean to disrespect you. Besides, although my surname is Song, but—"

After hesitating for a while, Song Xiaoye decided to say straight: "I don't have much money, and for some reason, I..." Lowering her eyes, Song Xiaoye smiled wryly.

Family ugliness should not be publicized, but she still has to talk about her "ugliness" after all, right?She didn't say it herself, but someone else would.

"Maybe, this is the last time I celebrate Grandma Jiugu's birthday! Maybe it won't be long before I will break away from the Song family..."

Chang Fengjuan glanced at Song Xiaoye in surprise, thought about it, and asked, "What did you do? Little girl! Break away from the relationship? Are you still an adult?"

That's not the point, is it?

Song Xiaoye smiled, but decided to be more honest, "I want to be an actor, and I'm already doing it—although it's a trick!"

"Actor?" Chang Fengjuan was really shocked.Staring blankly at Song Xiaoye for a while, she suddenly burst out laughing: "The daughter of the Song family is also an 'actor'? What a big joke!"

"You really sound like my grandfather..." Song Xiaoye smiled wryly.

actor!actor!After all, they are all people from the old society.

Chang Fengjuan became silent, and after a while, she sighed softly: "Song Sangong! He was also a famous man in Shanghai back then!"

Shaking her head, she finally calmed down, she no longer had those cynicism, and just said lightly: "I'm old, I'm really old——time really doesn't show mercy..."

"That's not right, God always seems to be very kind to some people. You see, the Song family used to be very famous in Shanghai. Even if they collapsed, they can still flourish in Hong Kong. Besides, your grandfather and grandma Jiugu, both Live well. But my master——when she passed away, she was not yet fifty! Originally, she said she could sing for a few more years to make up for the lost time, but..."

Suddenly, Chang Fengjuan burst into tears. The 60-year-old man cried like a child.

Song Xiaoye was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only pass tissues beside her all the time.

It was not easy for Chang Fengjuan to stop her tears. Looking at Song Xiaoye, she suddenly laughed at herself, "Really, old child, old child, a person becomes a child as soon as he grows old, and let you little girl see lively……"

"Sit down! This time, let's have a good talk..." Patting the seat beside her, Chang Fengjuan turned sideways and looked at Song Xiaoye's face for a long time before laughing.

"If you look carefully, you can really see the appearance of the Song family. However, you are better-looking than Miss Song Jiu, um, yes, it's the temperament—the temperament of a lady."

Suddenly sighed, "At that time, what my master liked the most was Miss Song Jiu's temperament - she always said that she would never have Miss Song Jiu's temperament in her whole life - it was innate, long-term Deep down! But Master doesn't know, she herself is the most attractive..."

She didn't want Song Xiaoye to answer her, Chang Fengjuan just kept talking non-stop: "I still remember, I was only ten years old at that time. Master is already the most popular actor in Shanghai, and many people come to see her acting every day .Ah, at that time, the third son of the Song Dynasty was making a cutscene."

"But my master doesn't like such reserved guests. She likes a lot of people to watch her perform, and doesn't like just one or two sitting in the audience. Even if it's rich and famous, she thinks it's stupid! Miss Song Jiu knows me The master has a temper, so every time she comes to the theater, she is very low-key. She doesn't even go to the VIP seats upstairs, she just sits in the front row, like a female student. But no matter where she sits, my master You can see her at a glance..."

"My master always said that Miss Song Jiu is like another her. Although they look different and have different personalities, she just has that kind of strange feeling-so, when they married Jinlan, I felt a little bit None surprised."

The originally excited expression gradually dimmed, and Chang Fengjuan said in a low voice: "I still remember at that time, everyone said that Shanghai was going to war again! Many rich people were eager to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan. People from the Song family That's right, the boat tickets were really expensive at that time! You couldn't even take a lot of things with you..."

Turning to Song Xiaoye, Chang Fengjuan's eyes were a little dazed, as if she saw the woman from back then through Song Xiaoye again, "Miss Song Jiu came to see my master and asked me to go to Hong Kong with her. My master was very proud at that time. Ao, what is it to say that everything I have is in Shanghai, so what is it to go to Hong Kong? I remember very clearly that Miss Song Jiu told my master that her third brother has always liked my master and asked my master to marry Song Sangongzi Be a concubine! In that case, she will go to Hong Kong with her, and no one will say 'no' at all..."

Heart skipped a beat, Song Xiaoye stared blankly at Chang Fengjuan, and suddenly felt that she had vaguely understood why grandpa was so disgusted with celebrities.

I always talk about "actor" and "actor", is it because...
