Zhao Wenye touched the match and shook his hands to help the rotten foal light the cigarette. His breathing seemed to be heavy with the moment the match struck. He didn''t know what to say.


    "You''re Secretary song''s cousin, and you''re also an initial brother. You have difficulties at home and have made contributions to the guild. It''s right to take a boat around the harbor. I heard that you''re going to have dinner at Secretary song''s house in the evening. I didn''t want to disturb you, but you''ve got a raise today. I''ll help you celebrate. When you have dinner, you might as well go to Taibai seafood restaurant to drink. If Secretary song has time, I''ll ask him out "Lan Mingju repeated what Chen A10 had told him to Zhao Wenye.


    Let him take the initiative to say such words to Zhao Wenye with a double flower red stick. He couldn''t speak them out. All these words were told to him by Chen A-shi.


    Zhao Wenye was stunned for a moment. He was equivalent to the disciple of rotten life Ju. There was no rule for Lao Ding to invite the disciple, so he had to refuse. However, seeing the eager eyes of rotten life Ju, he thought of his last sentence. With the clear sea breeze blowing, Zhao Wenye seemed to have an opening in his head.


    If brother Yao didn''t become secretary song, I''m afraid the rotten horse wouldn''t think of himself, let alone promote himself to go with the boat. After all, it''s clear that he wants to ask his cousin out for a drink at night.


    "I must tell brother Yao about it," Zhao Wenye said to rotten life Ju.


    The rotten foal patted him on the shoulder: "if you do it with your heart, you will soon come out."


    After meeting Zhao Wenye, LAN Mingju went to a wharf gambling stall opened by his club and entered the interior through the noisy crowd outside. LAN Mingju saw that the big man Chen A-shi was counting gambling money. He sat in a seat with a cigarette and said to Chen A-shi, who was counting money


    "Brother 10, I''ve passed on your words to the boy. Do you want to exaggerate? Ah Bao robbed the community of territory at tai''ao wharf some time ago and was stabbed four times. According to the rules, he should lead the team to follow the ship. Even if he is the cousin of secretary song, don''t be so direct? If the next brother is dissatisfied..."


    Chen a Shi didn''t respond, but ordered the stack of money first, tied it with a rubber band and threw it to the rotten foal.


    "That''s 2000 yuan. Didn''t you say that song TIANYAO gave you and ah Kun 500 yuan each last night? This is what he gave back. If ah Ye doesn''t move song TIANYAO, you just come to the door on the pretext of paying back the money."


    Rotten foal twisted the stack of banknotes with his hand: "Wow, double the interest overnight? Usury doesn''t have such an algorithm, boss. I''ve heard people say that song TIANYAO started talking to Chu Xiaoxin last night. It''s hard to say whether he can stay with him all the time. You''re giving money and helping his cousin and Lao Dou settle down. It''s too anxious. In case that guy will be driven away by Chu Xiaoxin in a few days..."


    "Just drive him away. I''ll let you catch up with him to get back as much as he takes, and I''ll charge interest. The most difficult thing is that Chu Xiaoxin didn''t drive him away. You saw it last night. Xinshao blames us for standing up too slowly. Now you know how many Chaozhou prefixes want to climb up to the Chu family. Take care of secretary song and ask him to help say something good, otherwise Xinshao will stop the tide "What''s as like as two peas in the night? Drink the northwest wind." look at what kind of banquet the Secretary of the song had done in Taibai seafood restaurant last night. Tonight, we''ll follow the same order as the last night''s dish and find out the woman who accompanied him last night to buy the clock. "Chen ten said to the rotten life soldier." "You think the guild is what you think. You''ll be fine if you fight, kill, rob and rob the wharf? If you offend these rich people, you''ll starve to death if you can fight again."


    "I see, brother ten." seeing what Chen A-shi said solemnly, rotten life Ju jumped down from the table and stood up and said to Chen A-shi, "I will try my best to do this well."


    ……


    It''s still the window box that I sat in yesterday, the guy who helped cook tea yesterday, and the little girl who played the lute yesterday. Song TIANYAO sat in the seat and watched the guy cook tea, while the little girl sat quietly in the corner of the box and looked at Song TIANYAO.


    When the waiter finished cooking tea and withdrew from the box, the little girl stood up and asked song TIANYAO. Her voice was still as soft as yesterday: "Sir, do you want to listen to long tune or short tune today?"


    "How much do you have to give your master at least one day to eat?" song TIANYAO didn''t answer the girl''s words, but turned his face, looked at each other and asked with a smile.


    When he chatted with Wu Jinliang yesterday, he already knew that most of the young singers in the teahouse were orphans bought by the old zither player or the old singer. They were raised around as disciples to teach their skills. When they reached the age of 10, they would be put in the teahouse to experience their human and worldly skills. When they were 15 or 16, they would be put on various seafood boats to accompany the guests and even be bought out of the street.


    "Three yuan." the little girl didn''t know why song TIANYAO asked how much he had to pay the master every day, but she said truthfully.


    It''s a pity that most of the guests who come to the teahouse drink tea and chat with their friends. It''s OK to listen to a short song occasionally. Because the repertoire of a teahouse is different, it lasts for an hour or two. No guest can afford to listen to a long tune in the teahouse for such a long time. What''s more, it''s better to listen directly to the Cantonese Opera Club for two yuan Afternoon. So this little singer makes more money by singing short songs. If he is lucky, he can earn four or five yuan a day. If he is not lucky, it is often that he can''t earn one yuan.


    "Don''t sing. Play a cool and quiet song. When you''re tired, rest and take tea yourself." song TIANYAO leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and said softly.


    The little girl looked at Song TIANYAO quietly. After song TIANYAO''s three long breathing ups and downs, she gently fiddled with the string with her finger wearing Yijia, and the pipa sounded in the quiet box.


    Perhaps the question asked by song TIANYAO reminded the little girl of her life experience. She closed her eyes in the corner and played a classic song of Chongming Pipa lunzhi, "Autumn Moon in Han Palace".


    In the box, a man and a woman, the man closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The girl hung her head and played. She didn''t hear the voice of people. Only the cold and sad sound of Pipa kept circling in the box.


    In this sweet ancient song, song TIANYAO leaned on the mahogany armchair and fell asleep. I don''t know how long later, Wu Jinliang''s voice sounded outside. Then, the box door was pushed open. Song TIANYAO opened his eyes and looked at it. Chu Xiaoxin walked in proudly, followed by Yan Xiong who couldn''t hide his anger and Ah Wei, Yan Xiong''s man last night. Song TIANYAO looked at them At the waist, the gun representing plainclothes identity has disappeared.
