Not The Sideburns I Know Chapter 136

Ervin had not been at ease for a few days after returning to Peking, when something went wrong in Shuiyun Building. First, when Li Qiaosong was accompanying Ervin in the opening scene, the huqin was out of tune, which was a mistake that should not have happened. Ervin came down from the stage and slammed the table and stomped his feet to complain to Li Qiaosong. After all, he was recommended by Henry, so he had to save face for him. Moreover, the huqin was very important in Peking opera, and the troupe always respected the huqin master. The next day, Zhou Xiangyun was singing well on the stage, and it was not a workmanship play. Suddenly, her legs went soft and she knelt down, which caused the fans in the audience to boo and shout. They threw peanut shells all over Zhou Xiangyun's face and shouted at him: "Get up, my dear son, the New Year has passed, and Dad has no New Year's money to give you!" Ervin was half-made up, and he went on stage to apologize to everyone with a fan covering his face, and then the storm was calmed down.

Zhou Xiangyun was not scared when she fell on the stage, but she felt very embarrassed. When Ervin came on stage, Zhou Xiangyun was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She looked up tremblingly and saw Ervin's hand clenched into a fist behind his back. Zhou Xiangyun's heart seemed to be clenched in Ervin's fist at this moment, and the blood was squeezed out of it, and there was no warmth at all. Ervin was indulgent to the actors below, but not tolerant. That means that he didn't care about the actors' open and secret struggles and moral corruption. He was also at ease with the bad atmosphere of Shuiyun Tower. But if anyone ruined the show and happened to fall under Ervin's nose, Ervin would beat them one by one. He was very ruthless and all the young actors had been beaten by him. Not to mention the prostitutes, even if their senior brothers and sisters had a loss of voice when working with Ervin, they would rather hide in the street with their stage makeup on than go backstage to face an angry donkey.

Zhou Xiangyun was helped to the backstage to rest, Ervin came off the stage to continue to put on makeup, without blaming him, but the backstage was very quiet, everyone looked at Zhou Xiangyun with pity or gloating from time to time, knowing that he was about to suffer. Ervin sang the Shuangyang Princess tonight, and after he went on stage, Yang Baoli leaned close to Zhou Xiangyun's ear and said, "Why don't you run away too! We'll cover it for you and say that you are very sick and went to see a doctor."

Zhou Xiangyun shook her head tiredly. Li Qiaosong glanced at him from the side.

The tormenting moment passed so quickly. Ervin finished singing, but he hadn't come out of the play yet. He straightened his back, held his head high, and had a proud look on his peach-shaped face. His red cape fluttered, and he hadn't put down the thick-tasseled horse whip in his hand, as if he was ready to mount the horse at any time. Ervin walked in front of Zhou Xiangyun, who quickly stood up. Ervin spoke with the female voice in the play: "Take off your costume for me!"
