To Save the Female Supporting Role As My Duty

On New Year's Eve, Song Lingshu was woken up early in the morning.

The phonograph downstairs was playing music, the servants were rushing in and out preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and the aunts and wives were also making arrangements in the courtyard, their voices were high-pitched, as if to let everyone hear that they would arrange affairs.

Because she stayed at Tong's house very late last night and came back, Song Lingshu was sleepy at the moment, covered with the quilt and shrunk back into the bed, and woke up after a long sleep.

Today's weather is cloudy, and I don't know if it will rain. The winter in Shanghai is always wet and cold, and there is only a little snow occasionally, so it is inconvenient to travel.

But the mansion was very lively, with grilles on the windows, especially the backyard, the old house was very festively decorated.

Song Lingshu dressed in a red cheongsam for the occasion, with a fur-collared shawl over it, and went downstairs in high heels, and met Yan Zhenggang.

Today, many people entrusted their servants to come to give presents. Yan Zheng just counted them and asked his servants to take them into the study. Gang's daughter was born really beautiful."

Song Lingshu suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and smelled a bit of conspiracy from his smile.

Sure enough, Yan Zhenggang said in the next moment: "There will be guests at home tonight. An old friend of mine, his son came back from studying abroad. He happened to come to Shanghai, so we got together. You have also stayed abroad, so you should be with him. That young man is very topical..."

Why can't I escape the blind date!

"Don't! I've been back to China for several years, so there must be nothing to talk about!" Song Lingshu turned around and slipped into the backyard, "I want to see you, I'm going to play mahjong with the wives!"

At noon, the family members came back one after another. The eldest brother and sister-in-law came early with their children, and even the third sister came back with their children, and did not dare to bring her husband.

The second aunt had been begging for love with Yan Zhenggang for a long time these days. After all, they were also flesh and blood. Yan Zhenggang kept a straight face and let the third sister in. But after seeing her wearing a rough cotton padded coat, she pointed at Sang Huai and said: "Xi Zhi, keep your eyes sharp tonight. Don't just choose a man to live with. This man has no ability, it's a crime! He will only drag the family to suffer!"

The third sister's face was pale, and she dared not make a sound while holding the child.

Song Lingshu took a sip of water quietly: "It only depends on what a man is good for, and a woman is capable, so you won't let me go."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about." Song Lingshu said with a smile.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Yan Zhenggang looked at her amusedly: "You are really getting bolder."

"Who made me your daughter?"

Yan Zhenggang laughed loudly and asked her to sit beside him to eat.

The concubines looked at it, and it seemed that Miss Si was the most favored at the moment, and the expressions on their faces were all wonderful. The fourth aunt rubbed her belly too much, and she didn't know if she could win a little bit of anger.

In the afternoon, just as Yan Zheng went to the study to deal with official business, the aunts and wives opened the poker table again, and the eldest brother, sister-in-law and third sister sat together to chat about their experiences in raising children.

Song Lingshu was drawing design drawings in his room when Yanxicheng suddenly came to him with a newspaper.

"What do you mean?" Yan Xicheng closed the door and pressed the newspaper on the table in front of her, "How did you find Zhu Yan?"

Song Lingshu stopped writing, looked at the interview about the nursery school, and said amusedly: "This interview is all from the previous issue, how did you find out?"

Yan Xicheng gritted his teeth: "What do you want her for?"

"It's just a matter of fact. She is working on a charity project. I will help her and talk about cooperation."

"Do you know that this will make her very hard?!"

"So? Didn't you like Tong August? Why do you feel sorry for Zhu Yan now?" Song Lingshu asked, "Why is your heart so big? There are so many people living in it, it can't be a community, right? ?”

Yan Xicheng was at a loss for words, and after a while he asked again: "You didn't say anything to her that you shouldn't say, did you?"

"To be honest, I'm too embarrassed to tell her that I'm your sister, it's too embarrassing for me." Song Lingshu said disgustedly, thinking that if it wasn't for the development of the main task, I would have exposed you as a scumbag to the public.

Yan Xicheng pointed at her a few times, but left angrily without saying a word.

"What the hell." Song Lingshu muttered, and continued to immerse himself in drawing the design, then picked up the paper, looked at it carefully, and put it in the drawer with satisfaction.

Dinner started at six o'clock, and Yan Zhenggang's old friend's family of three also came. That old friend's son was indeed somewhat handsome, with handsome features, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his demeanor was elegant and generous, and he looked at Song Lingshu with gentle and decent eyes.

If Song Lingshu was a straight girl, maybe it would be a good relationship.

The adults arranged for the two of them to sit together, which happened to be very close to Yan Zhenggang's seat, so everyone could see what this meant.

Fortunately, the other party only chatted with her occasionally, and did not show any behavior that disgusted her, so the meal was quite enjoyable.

It took a long time for the New Year's Eve dinner to end. The elders saw that the two of them got along well, so Yan Zhenggang asked Song Lingshu to take him out for a walk to get familiar with the environment here.

Where are you going this big night?

But it happened to take the opportunity to go out, so as not to be talked about at home.

"Master Dai, where do you want to go?" Song Lingshu walked out of the door and turned to look at the blind date.

The man smiled: "Miss Yan seems to have no intentions of me?"

"You can see it so quickly?" Song Lingshu praised, "These glasses are not in vain."

The man smiled and pushed down his glasses: "Miss Yan, don't worry, I only agreed to come to this meal out of desperation, but during the dinner, I saw that you are humorous and have a good conversation. It is worth making friends. I wonder if I can make a friend." ?”

"It's natural."

"Then you don't have to call me Young Master Dai, just call me Dai Chen." Dai Chen extended his hand friendly.

Song Lingshu shook her hand: "Yan Xizhi."

"Then what shall we do next? Do we want to go back?" Dai Chen asked.

Song Lingshu: "I think I'll be interrogated again when I go back, why don't I find a place to relax?"

"That's exactly what I mean. But I just returned to China, and I'm not familiar with this area. I don't know where it's still open on New Year's Eve, so it's up to you to make up your mind."

Song Lingshu thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Are you listening to an opera?"

The theater is overcrowded, even on New Year's Eve, there are still fans who are willing to listen to the play here.

Tong Bayue sang twice in a row and got a lot of rewards. When she was about to step off the stage, someone upstairs shouted: "Miss Tong, my master is willing to pay 3,000 oceans, would you like to give him a face to have a drink with him? "

There was an uproar, and the audience looked curiously at the second floor, wanting to see who made such a big shot.

Tong Bayue smiled back and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, but it's too late today, and my family is still waiting for me to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, so I won't be with you."

The person upstairs shouted again: "Five thousand! Only one drink, Miss Tong can do as she pleases after drinking."

Someone in the audience couldn't help booing, urging Tong Bayue to make money.

At this time, another man came out from the second floor, and said with a polite smile: "In this case, my friend also wants to increase the price, 6000 oceans, please Miss Tong to go upstairs."

The servant next door glanced at him, turned around and entered the room, and after a while, came out and shouted: "We are eight thousand!"

"Nine thousand."

"Ten thousand!"

"Just in case."

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand."

The audience exploded with a bang, seething with excitement, and asked whether the price would be increased. The servant finally fainted, and went back to the room awkwardly.

"Miss Tong, please." The man invited.

Tong Bayue looked at him in embarrassment, but it was not easy to refute him in public. The second floor has always been the domain of the rich, and she can't afford to offend anyone.

When she stepped off the stage, she told Yufeng a few words.

At this time, the old man next door opened the door and angrily grabbed the man by the collar: "Who are you? How dare you rob me?"

The man had to bend down because of his height, and smiled softly: "I just returned to China and came to the theater with my friends, you just missed our elegance."

"I don't care where you come from. Whose family do you belong to?"

Worried that they would cause trouble, Tong Bayue hurriedly stepped up the stairs, and as soon as she reached the second floor, the person sitting in another private room finally came out.

"Master Li, I, Yan Xizhi, spent the money. Just let me know if you have anything to do. You'd better not inquire about this young master's family background." Song Lingshu stepped forward, looking at The short and fat middle-aged man patted his hand away, turned his head and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Dai Chen straightened his tie.

"Is there anything I can't find out? I'm afraid that you two unweaned brats will fail?" Master Li said angrily.

Song Lingshu smiled, bent down and whispered in his ear: "His grandfather is a handsome man from the north."

Master Li's pupils trembled, he looked at Dai Chen in horror, and then looked at Song Lingshu with trembling hands: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Song Lingshu compared a gun with his hand, pressed it against his head, and said in a low voice, "How dare I lie to you about this kind of thing?"

Master Li was dripping with cold sweat, he quickly apologized to Dai Chen, then made excuses and left in a hurry.

Seeing his flustered back, Tong Bayue went over and asked, "Why are you?"

"You're not welcome?" Song Lingshu turned to look at her, "I spent a full 20,000 yuan to meet you. It's not easy, Miss Tong."

"Go first." There were many spectators downstairs, and Tong Bayue brought them into the house and closed the doorway, "Okay, I will definitely not accept this money. Why did you come here on New Year's Eve?" ? This one again?"

"Hello Miss Tong, my name is Dai Chen. On the way here just now, Xi Zhi had already introduced you to me. After hearing your play, I realized that she wasn't bragging." Dai Chen glanced at Song Lingshu with a smile.

"I'm just saying I'm not bragging, she sang really well." Song Lingshu said proudly.

Xizhi?

Tong Bayue looked at them. Although this man had never met, he was very kind. He should be a good friend, right?

"Okay, hurry up and remove your makeup, don't you have to go back to watch Xiuxiu?" Song Lingshu asked.

"Yes, then I'll go first."

When Tong Bayue returned to the backstage, Yufeng immediately came in and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"No, it's Yansi and his friends."

"It scared me to death. Then Master Li specifically inquired about your performance last time. I heard that his fifth aunt passed away and he plans to continue the show recently." Yufeng patted her chest, "Fortunately, the fourth lady is here, otherwise this bad old man will point you Maybe I want to take advantage of you, hehe!"

"Don't worry, I'm not just being taken advantage of casually." Tong August began to remove her makeup.

Yufeng was a little worried, so she sat down beside her, took off her make-up together, and said, "You said... In the future, when we marry, don't we have to marry a rich man? Otherwise, we will always be bullied. Okay. We are just superficial. In fact, everyone has to laugh when we see it. Those who bought tickets are their parents, and no one can afford to provoke them. Since the fourth lady has such a big right to speak, is Yanxi City even more powerful? ? Is it really impossible for you and him? By the way, why did you break up?"

Tong Bayue silently looked at the mirror after removing her makeup: "I'll go back first, Xiuxiu is alone at home."

"Okay, you pay attention to safety."

When Tong Bayue walked out of the theater, snowflakes fell on her head.

Snowing.

She reached out her hand to catch a few snowflakes, and saw Song Lingshu standing not far away, holding an oil-paper umbrella.

The red clothes and white snow are truly beautiful.

"Why haven't you left yet?" She stepped forward and asked.

"It's snowing, I guess you didn't bring an umbrella." Song Lingshu put the umbrella on her head and sent her back.

"Where is Mr. Dai?"

"He heard that there was a bookstore open here, so he went there. We made an appointment to meet at twelve o'clock and go back together."

Tong Bayue said blankly, "Go back together?"

"Well, their family is visiting and staying at our house temporarily." Song Lingshu said helplessly.

Tong Bayue pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "So you are on a blind date?"

"It's almost like that..."

"He looks like a man of talent."

"really."

"There is still knowledge."

"Harvard graduates, can they have no knowledge?"

Tong Bayue glanced at her in surprise, then looked at her cheek for a moment, lowered her eyes and said, "That suits you quite well."

"Does it match?"

"Not worthy?"

"Where does it match?"

"Looks, knowledge, and character are not bad, let alone the matchmaker made by your family, the family background must be not bad."

"Well, you have considered it very well, but you forgot one of the most important factors."

"What?" Tong August looked sideways.

"My mind, my mind."

Tong Bayue smiled: "Don't you like him? He looks very good."

"Do I have to like excellent people? Then how many people do I have to like?"

"That's true." Tong Bayue pursed her lips and smiled, inexplicably relaxed.

The two stood at the door, and Song Lingshu looked at the time.

"How long until we leave?" Tong Bayue asked while opening the door.

"32 minutes."

"Then you can have a cup of tea before leaving."

"good."

Xiuxiu couldn't wait and fell asleep on the bed. Tong Bayue went to the bedroom to take a look before returning to the living room, and poured her a cup of hot tea lightly.

"Have you had dinner?" Song Lingshu asked.

"I ate it at the theater."

"What did you eat?"

"Same as usual."

Song Lingshu took a sip of hot tea, saw two bottles of dried chrysanthemums and roses on the cabinet, walked over with a teacup, and threw a few petals into it.

Tong Bayue supported her head and looked at her, watching her half leaning against the cabinet door, the cheongsam outlined her exquisite figure, her slender legs were slightly bent, the cheongsam swept the ground, sprinkled petals into the cup , Standing up straight again, put the bottle on the top of the cabinet.

"You put it so high, is it easy to hold?" Song Lingshu asked.

Tong Bayue stood behind her, took the bottle from her hand, and put it on the cabinet.

"Why, showing off your height?" Song Lingshu turned around helplessly, leaning his back on the cabinet, crossing his arms around his chest.

Tong Bayue lowered her eyes, and without taking back one hand, she simply supported the top of the cabinet and said with a smile: "Yes, who made you a stunted girl."

"That was in the past. I've grown up now." Song Lingshu suddenly raised his head and chest, and accidentally rubbed against her.

Tong Bayue looked down, turned around in embarrassment, returned to the table, and asked, "How long is it?"

Song Lingshu glanced at the time: "Six minutes."

"What can I do in six minutes?"

"I can let you make a wish." Song Lingshu picked up a candle, picked up a box of matches from the stove, stroked it twice, and the flame ignited.

When the candle was placed in front of him, Tong Bayue said confusedly: "What is this for?"

"Close your eyes, make a wish, and blow out the candles."

"..."

"hurry up."

Tong Bayue closed her eyes, made a wish in her heart, and then blew out the candles.

"I promise-um."

Song Lingshu covered her mouth: "Shh, don't talk about it, you won't be able to work if you talk about it!"

Tong Bayue nodded, and the other party let go of her hand, allowing her to regain her freedom.

"How long is it now?"

Song Lingshu looked at the time and said dejectedly, "One minute."

Not knowing what came to mind, Tong Bayue rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find something.

Song Lingshu seized the time and drank a big mouthful of hot tea.

"You can take this bag of candy back and eat it. I have bought too much for the New Year, and Xiuxiu and I can't finish it." Tong Bayue took out a large bag of candy from the cabinet.

"Thanks."

The two hurried to the gate and stood at the gate without saying goodbye first.

"It's the first time I've seen you wearing a cheongsam." Tong Bayue smiled.

"Really? Is it good-looking?" Song Lingshu asked.

"nice."

"That's why I don't look good in what I wear."

"You must be beautiful."

Song Lingshu smiled: "Then... I'm leaving."

"Um."

Song Lingshu turned to leave, and Tong Bayue closed the door.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside, Tong Bayue turned around, and immediately opened the door, Song Lingshu's knocking hand stopped in mid-air.

Song Lingshu smiled coyly: "I suddenly felt that Dai Chen shouldn't be angry with me. He is so smart, he must have a way to deal with it."

Tong Bayue smiled, and patted the snowflakes on her head: "Isn't it cold outside?"

"It's so cold!" Song Lingshu rubbed her arms and walked in. There was the umbrella behind the door. She opened the umbrella, stepped forward and held it on Tong Bayue's head, and walked into the inner room together.
