Chapter 171 Generals of the Republic of China × Young Students 3
Gu Xiyan changed into her gown, took off the makeup on her face, and went to a private room in the Liyuan alone.
"Are you the actress who plays 'Yu Ji'?"
The soldier guarding the door looked at Gu Xiyan, his expression and tone seemed to reveal some surprise.
Didn't you say she was a woman? How did you become a man? ? ?
Although it is not uncommon for men to sing, their general came here because of Xu Yanwei's fame. This...
Gu Xiyan nodded, although he didn't know why these people had strange eyes.
Forget it, no matter who he is, if the general says he wants to see him, then he will see him.
"General Pei has feelings."
The soldier on Gu Xiyan's right knocked on the door and opened the door with Pei Chuyao's "come in".
Gu Xiyan walked in without being humble or overbearing.
Naturally, I am very familiar with my own home.
As soon as Gu Xiyan entered the door, he saw a man wearing a black suit and with neat short hair.
At this time, the man was holding a book of poetry in his hand and flipping through it. He put down the book when he heard Gu Xiyan coming in.
Is this the General Pei they call him? It's a little different from what I thought...
Gu Xiyan silently looked away from the poetry collection.
In fact, this collection of poems belongs to Gu Xiyan, because he bought too many books, and often took a book with him while walking. He would often sit in a room and read for a whole day on a whim, and then leave the book behind. In the room, it depends on fate whether you will watch it again next time.
Seeing a young man wearing a long gown coming in, Pei Chuyao was stunned for only a moment before putting on a relatively gentle expression.
"Sit down. What should I call this... young gentleman?"
"My surname is Gu, my given name is Xiyan, and my courtesy name is Xingzhi. I am just an ordinary person. I cannot afford to say 'sir' to you, general." Gu Xiyan sat down opposite Pei Chuyao very calmly.
"I'm more interested in opera, but I don't know much about it." Pei Chuyao looked at Gu Xiyan and said, "After listening to Mr. Gu's play today, I felt very involved and very moved. It doesn't matter how other people think it, but in this case Here, you can certainly bear the word 'Sir'."
Uh-huh? Just say yes, as long as you are happy.
Gu Xiyan was not stubborn with him, but he still had to be polite.
"The general is serious."
"Mr. Gu has never looked away from this book of poems since he entered the door. Could it be that this is yours?"
Pei Chuyao flipped through the book of poems that he had written down and remembered that the pages were densely packed and warped. Many of the ideas written down in it were very innovative.
"Yes, if the general likes it and doesn't dislike it, you can give it to the general." Gu Xiyan said.
"Sir, do you also like reading?"
"Yes."
"Looking at how young your husband is, he's not a student, is he?" Pei Chuyao asked half-jokingly.
"Yes, I am studying at Peking University."
Gu Xiyan nodded.
Pei Chuyao was a little surprised. In this world, it is not easy for a theater to support a student or a college student.
It is a luxury for the poor to have enough to eat, let alone to spare money for their children to study.
"What a coincidence, my little sister is also studying at Peking University." Pei Chuyao continued, "I wonder what department your husband is studying?"
"literature."
Pei Chuyao nodded, feeling as expected.
"My little sister is also from the literature department. I think she might be a classmate of my husband."
Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded, so he came to me for a long time just to chat?
Pei Chuyao rambled a few more words, and then talked about the play just now.
Doesn’t this make Gu Xiyan a professional?
The two of them got more and more excited as they chatted. They introduced the lines from the background of "Farewell My Concubine" and grasped the personal feelings of singing and singing. They talked about the development history of Peking Opera, Peking Opera genres and the forms of Peking Opera. Finally, they got out of hand and talked about the history of literature and ancient times. Famous literary works today.
Most of the time, Pei Chuyao listened with great support and expressed his own opinions from time to time.
However, Gu Xiyan did not dare to discuss some politically sensitive topics in front of Pei Chuyao.
When I looked up again, the sun had already set, leaving only a faint red light on the horizon.
"Is it so late?" Gu Xiyan said with some unfinished meaning.
It was finally possible to talk it out quickly. If it weren't for being hungry, he would still be able to talk!
"It's time to go back." Pei Chuyao stood up, "I hope Mr. Gu can invite me to his next scene."
"sure."
Gu Xiyan smiled and said perfunctorily, "That's not the case."
"I quite appreciate Mr. Gu. We'll chat next time if we have a chance. Say goodbye."
After that, Pei Chuyao left with his people.
Gu Xiyan moved his hands and feet to send the person away.
Except for the injured senior sister, Gu Jiali and others stood at the door and politely watched Pei Chuyao get into the car and leave.
"Phew, we're gone." Xie Shangyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior brother, please keep your voice down." Gu Xiyan used his elbow to hit Xie Shang Yu and whispered.
Oh, yes, yes, we haven’t gone far yet!
Xie Shangyu turned off the microphone urgently.
After seeing that there was no trace of the butt of the car, everyone went back to eat.
"I'm just waiting for you, little junior brother. If it hadn't been for that Chief Pei not leaving, you couldn't get away, and I wouldn't have had to starve for so long."
Xie Shangyu touched his poor hungry belly and said quietly to Gu Xiyan: "Master has people keeping hot dishes waiting for you. Chief Pei doesn't like our small dishes. Master asked everyone to I'm just waiting because I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat hot food when you come out, little junior brother. He's just shy and doesn't want to tell you..."
Gu Xiyan looked at Gu Jiali's back, feeling warm in his heart.
"What are you doing? You were hungry just now, why are you so inactive now that you have eaten?"
Gu Jiali glared at Xie Shangyu. This guy's eyes were sly, and he didn't know what he was saying to Xi Yan. He must have nothing nice to say!
Xie Shangyu: ...Have you finally dumped this shocking cauldron on me? (???e???)
