MTL - To Save the Female Supporting Role As My Duty-Chapter 128v2 The miserable female supporting role who saved the Republic of China (4)
After putting on the cloth shoes, Tong Bayue remembered another thing: "Even if I don't go to the dance, I still have to go to the dinner party..."
Today is to celebrate Yan Zhenggang's birthday. After the performance, I have to say a few auspicious words to the protagonist.
"I'll go and tell them, you go back to your room to rest." Song Lingshu said.
Seeing her turn and leave, Tong Bayue looked at her back and suddenly called out: "Miss Si."
Song Lingshu stopped by the door and turned around.
"Thank you." Tong Bayue said.
Song Lingshu waved his hand indifferently, and then went back to the front hall.
The gramophone was playing music, and men and women danced in the hall. As soon as Song Lingshu walked to the door, Yan Xicheng came to her and looked behind her: "Where is August?"
"She's not feeling well, she's gone to rest."
"Where is it uncomfortable?" Yan Xicheng asked.
At this time, Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Second young master, fourth young miss, the master calls you over."
The two had to go to Yan Zhenggang to socialize first. Song Lingshu told about Xiatong August's discomfort, but Yan Zhenggang didn't mind too much. Instead, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Xicheng: "Wait for me in the study , I have something to ask you."
Yanxicheng nodded with little interest.
After a while, the eldest brother also came over, and the father took the three of them to meet friends and introduce each other.
As for the third sister, she is determined to marry the driver of the family. Her father has given up training her to take over. Of course, she will not allow this marriage, so the third sister broke with the family and moved out to make a private decision with the driver for life. , Today is such an important day and I didn't come back.
The focus of the introduction this time is still on the two elder brothers, but they were all absent-minded. Only Song Lingshu listened carefully, remembered every guest clearly, behaved gracefully, and quickly exchanged contact information with them , These are great resources.
On the way, she went out to go to the bathroom, and bumped into Yufeng on the side of the road, who was being stopped by a man, asking for her contact information, with a wretched smile on her face.
Due to the power of the other party, Yufeng dared not refuse to give it. After murmuring for a long time, the other party suddenly put his arms around her waist, her expression changed, and she looked at the face that was approaching her, and said anxiously: "Sir, please relax first." ..."
"What's loose?" the man asked with a smile, "Your name is Yufeng, right? I've noticed you a long time ago. Don't you feel sorry for being overwhelmed by Tong Bayue? Why don't you follow me, and you will have a happy life in the future , I'm—hey hey? Who is it?"
"Me." Song Lingshu clasped one of his arms and pulled it back.
"Miss Si, what do you want me to do?" The man let go of his hand awkwardly.
"Father is looking around for someone from the Ruyi class. I'll take her away first, please borrow."
Song Lingshu stared at him with a sinking face, his eyes were like tonight's night, dark and deep, as if danger could happen at any time.
The man was afraid of the Yan family behind her, so he could only get out of the way, and said with a smile: "Miss Si, please, let's have dinner together some other day."
Song Lingshu took two steps, looked back at Yufeng who was still in a daze, raised his eyebrows, Yufeng hesitated for a while, but still followed.
"Isn't this the way to find Master Yan?" Yufeng found that she had bypassed the front hall, passed the path next to it, leading to the backyard, and arrived at Tong Bayue's residence without knowing it.
"My dad doesn't have time to talk to you guys. After the performance, pack up your things and go to the door. I'll send a driver to take you back."
Yufeng looked at her incredulously: "Are you just... helping me?"
Song Lingshu pointed to the door: "Hurry up, I have other things to do."
"Oh, thank you, thank you." After Yufeng finished speaking, she hurried in to find Tong Augustue, "August, Master is still out drinking with others, so I'll go back first."
"What's wrong with you?" Tong Bayue found that her expression was wrong, and immediately held her trembling hand, "What happened?"
Yufeng paused, and suddenly threw the things heavily, with tears on her face: "I'm so tired, what should I do, I don't want to sing anymore! I can't sing well, and I can't catch up with you! And they People, I don’t care if I sing well or not at all, I just want to coax us into bed because of our figures!”
Tong Bayue looked at her quietly, then took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and asked, "Who bullied you?"
Yufeng cried so anxiously that she couldn't answer for a long time.
Only then did Tong Bayue notice a figure standing outside the door, and said, "Miss Si, did you bring Yufeng back?"
Song Lingshu leaned against the door and asked, "Do you often encounter this kind of thing?"
Tong Bayue lowered her eyes in silence, only Yufeng's crying answered her.
After a long time, Song Lingshu walked in, fumbled around, found a pocket watch with a small photo of himself inside, bent down and stuffed the pocket watch into Yufeng's hand: "Come to Yan Mansion to find me if you need anything. , this is a token, and all the servants know it."
Yufeng's crying stopped, and she raised her head in surprise: "Miss Si..."
"My name is Yan Xizhi." Song Lingshu smiled and stretched out his hand, "Don't call me Miss Si, how about we be friends?"
Yufeng pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and held her hand.
After the driver drove Yufeng away, Tong Bayue turned to look at her: "Thank you."
"You thanked me twice tonight." Song Lingshu said with a smile, "I'm really not used to it."
"I've always had a clear distinction between grievances and resentments. Thank you when you should be thanked, and scold you when you should be scolded." Tong Bayue said.
The path is quiet, and the moonlight shines through the branches, casting mottled moon shadows. The two walked unhurriedly on the road, behind them was a luxuriously decorated bungalow, with figures wandering on the dance floor revealed through the glass windows, and the phonograph played low-pitched music.
Tong Bayue listened to the exotic tunes over there, but hummed her own tunes in a low voice. She thought of something and smiled: "Do you know what I like about West City?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Tong Bayue ignored her indifference, and said to herself: "He understands opera, and he respects everyone in our theater. When he goes to listen to the opera, he remembers the names of everyone who helped him, and he will send rewards .”
"It's just that he has a lot of money." Song Lingshu said, "If you have money, you can naturally show kindness."
Tong Bayue choked up, and said again: "But he understands opera, he will cry when listening to opera, he can feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy from our music, he is the best audience."
"Then what if one day, you, the best audience, don't want you to sing an opera?"
"Why?" Tong Bayue frowned, "He said he loves to listen to my plays, why won't he let me sing?"
"Look at her." Song Lingshu raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction.
Tong Bayue followed the line of sight and saw that the fourth aunt was chatting with a few friends, touching her plump belly, she was about to give birth, her hands and feet were swollen, and the maids fed the grapes to her mouth herself, which can be described as caring extreme.
"What's up with her?"
"Do you envy her life?"
"Does her life concern me?"
"She is only twenty-two years old, not much different from us. She is living a life without worrying about food and clothing. If she is pregnant with a son, it will be even better, and she can directly grab another piece of the family property. She sees It looks so glamorous, even though her husband is just sixty today, she still has to share her husband with several other women. If it’s yours, would you like it?”
Tong August frowned slightly.
"She used to play the guzheng very well, and was sent to Shanghai by her family's high hopes to become a prominent figure. She had just made a name for herself in Shanghai, and she was spotted by my dad." Song Lingshu said, "Of course, my dad didn't force her. It's all yours. My father's only request is that she is not allowed to go out to show her face after marriage. The guzheng has already collected dust and I don't know where to throw it. The hands also found new fun on the poker table. "
"Xicheng is different from your father." Tong Bayue glanced at her, not knowing whether to refute her or to comfort herself.
"It's just that he's not married yet and hasn't grown old." Song Lingshu sneered, "You've met so many men, and you still believe in what men say naively?"
Tong Bayue turned her head to look at her, then quickened her pace, not wanting to listen to her nagging.
However, Song Lingshu chased after him relentlessly, and said sarcastic words: "Have you ever thought that after Yan Xicheng married you, you will no longer be allowed to sing for others?" You have to give up what you love for him. something? "
Tong Bayue stopped at the door, took a deep breath, and said, "I will not give up what I love, but I believe Xicheng will not let me make this choice."
"Then you can ask him what he thinks."
"If you want me to ask, I'll just ask?" Tong Bayue closed the door, "Walk slowly."
Song Lingshu shrugged, hey, it's too difficult to persuade a woman who is in love to turn around.
The banquet gradually dissipated, Yan Xicheng finally escaped from his father, immediately found Tong Bayue, took out a watch from his arms, and said it was a gift for her.
Looking at the watch, Tong Bayue somehow thought of the pocket watch Yufeng received.
She touched the dial, smiled, then took out a bracelet from the drawer, and pushed it together: "These gifts are too expensive, I can't take them, you take them back."
"It's not expensive at all, just accept it, I just think they are suitable for you."
"Then is this bracelet suitable for me?" Tong Bayue asked.
Yanxi City was dumbfounded.
"Xicheng, what are we doing now?" Tong Bayue sat sideways on the chair, and she could see the cloth shoes on her feet when she lowered her head. Compared with the environment here, it was so out of date, but it made her the most comfortable shoes, she whispered, "There are already rumors that you are going to marry me, but only we know that you didn't even give me... an official identity."
"I like you, you know it." Yan Xicheng said, "I also know that you like me, we love each other, you and I know it well, isn't that enough? Why do you have to say it? "
Tong Bayue raised her eyes: "Then will you marry me?"
Yan Xicheng was taken aback for a moment, showing a hesitant expression.
"If you marry me, will you marry someone else?"
Yan Xicheng felt even more guilty immediately, and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at her: "August, isn't it too early to talk about this now?"
"Then when do you want to talk? Wait until everyone thinks we are together, even I think we are together, and then you tell me that we are just an ambiguous relationship that we know well?" Tong Bayue gripped her hands slowly He raised his fist, took a deep breath, and asked, "Let me ask you one last question. If we are together in the future, will you stop me from continuing to sing?"
Yan Xicheng: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"Just ask, you haven't given me an answer yet."
Yan Xicheng murmured: "If you insist on going out to sing an opera, of course I won't stop you."
"If I have to?" Tong Bayue closed his eyes, and the words Song Lingshu said before leaving came to mind -
"Then you can ask him what he thinks, but you must first understand that this is your own business, and you have the right to decide what you do. If he says words like permission and approval, it means that I have already regarded you as an appendage."
"August, listen to me, I—"
"Okay, you don't need to talk about it." Tong Bayue opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile, "I think we all need to calm down for a while and think about our relationship."
"No, what's wrong with you, weren't you fine before?" Seeing that her eyes were full of politeness and alienation, Yan Xicheng couldn't help feeling a little flustered, "Why are you packing up? You want to leave?"
"This is not my home. I was only invited to celebrate Master Yan's birthday. Now that the birthday party is over, I should naturally go back to my residence." Tong Bayue didn't bring many things. After packing up, she was carrying a small bag, and when she reached the door, she was stopped by Yan Xicheng.
"You can treat this place as your home. My family members also like you very much...except for the careless fourth sister, but as long as you ignore her, the servants will also Take good care of you." Yan Xicheng insisted.
"Not suitable." Tong Bayue said, "If I stay here any longer, my reputation will be completely ruined. Xicheng, I want to sing opera, I want to sing opera for the rest of my life, do you understand?"
"I understand. I didn't say I wouldn't let you sing. I was just afraid that you were working too hard. If you are with me, you don't have to work so hard, let alone compromise to please others."
"To please others?" Tong Bayue looked at him in surprise, "Even you think I am trying to please others by singing?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that, I just had a quick talk..."
"Get out of the way." Tong Bayue pushed him away and ran outside. The cloth shoes were very light, but they were too tight. They stepped on countless gravels and stumbled to the gate. There were several cars parked outside. , Yanxi City chased after him.
She took a deep breath and walked quickly, trying to find out if there was a rickshaw nearby, when a black car stopped beside her.
Didi—
She turned her head and looked over. Song Lingshu leaned his head on the window and said with a smile: "It's a good night tonight. I decided to be a driver for free. I don't know if I have the honor. How about inviting Ms. Tong to the car?"
Tong Bayue opened the car door, got in the car, saw Yanxi City chasing him out, and said, "Hurry up."
Song Lingshu immediately turned around, and proudly exhaled in front of Yanxi City: "Go back and wash up early, my dear second brother."
Yan Xicheng stomped his feet anxiously.
"Where are you going?" Song Lingshu asked.
Tong Bayue was worried that Yanxi City would find her home, and said, "Let's go to Yufeng, I'm also a little worried about her."
"Okay, don't worry about being sad for now, just show me the way."
Hearing this, Tong Bayue had no choice but to cheer up and point out the way for her earnestly. After a long time, she couldn't help but said, "Can you drive? You said go east."
"You can't say front, back, left, right, that would be a mistake." Song Lingshu backed up the car sadly and angrily.
"It's a pity that you have stayed abroad, and you can't even tell the east from the west." Tong Bayue said bitterly.
"It has nothing to do with studying abroad."
"It has something to do with IQ."
"......snort."
It was rare that Tong Bayue gained the upper hand, seeing her deflated, couldn't help but smile, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little.
Song Lingshu glanced at her, saw her smile, and was relieved.
Yufeng lived in an alley, and the car couldn't drive in. The two got out of the car and walked in the dark all the way.
"Here we are." Tong Bayue buckled the door lock, and after a while, Yufeng with red eyes opened the door and looked at them in surprise: "Why did you appear here together?"
"Are you okay?" Tong Bayue touched her eyes, she saw that she had cried a few times after coming back, "Did you put the veil on?"
Yufeng shook her head: "I was interrupted by you before I finished crying..."
"How about that, apply it first, so as not to be swollen tomorrow and affect the performance." Tong Bayue walked into the yard, picked up a small bucket, fetched some cold water from the well, twisted the wet veil, and put it on her eyes , "Press it yourself."
Yufeng pressed the handkerchief, and asked again: "You haven't answered me yet, why did you come here together?"
Tong Bayue pretended not to hear, and went into the house to pour water, but Song Lingshu shook it off for her.
"We broke up with Yanxi City."
"..." Tong Bayue poured out the water in the glass when he went out, talking so much, he deserved to die of thirst.
"Really?" Yufeng immediately took off the towel and asked with two red eyes, "Why did they break up all of a sudden? Could it be because of me?"
"What's the matter with you, hurry up and apply it." Song Lingshu said with a smile, "It should be because of me."
"What's the matter with you!" Tong Bayue said.
Song Lingshu couldn't help laughing twice: "Yufeng, is there any wine at home?"
"Yes, there is, that is..."
"where?"
"Kitchen, for cooking."
Ten minutes later, the three of them were sitting at the table in the yard, Yufeng stared at the wine bowl on the table, and asked in surprise, "Do you really want to drink?"
"The only way to relieve my worries is—"
Tong Bayue: "We don't drink, it affects the throat."
"Oh. Then I'll do one first." Song Lingshu took a sip, "Bah, bah, it's so spicy!"
Yufeng laughed loudly: "This rate is really high."
Tong Bayue held back her smile, and put the water glass over: "If you don't know how to drink, don't drink it, what a hero you are."
"Forget it, let's drink Coke." Song Lingshu went into the kitchen and looked for a bowl again. He was just about to exchange it with the system when he remembered that the system had asked for leave and hadn't come back yet.
Embarrassed.
"Where's Coke?" Yufeng and Tong Bayue walked in, "I heard that this foreign soda tastes very special, let us open our eyes."
"It's in my refrigerator."
Two people: "..."
Seeing their disappointed expressions, Song Lingshu raised two fingers, pushed them to the cheeks, and made a smiley expression: "Coke?"
The two looked at her in silence, and then looked at each other.
"It's so cool hahaha!" Yufeng burst out laughing.
Tong Bayue also pursed her lips and her shoulders trembled, almost breaking the bowl in her hand.
