Not The Sideburns I Know Chapter 49

Ervin's "Hidden Dragon" was performed for three consecutive days, and the performance was closed on time for the New Year three days later. However, Peking could not have a peaceful Spring Festival. "Hidden Dragon" was as expected, with polarized reviews and mixed praises. The body, eyes, steps, singing, reciting, acting and fighting were naturally impeccable. Ervin and Yu Qing could carry a big show alone, let alone a strong combination. At that time, several well-known seniors and famous tickets were tasting in the audience, saying that Ervin had made great progress compared to when he first arrived in Peking a few years ago, so that they dared not recognize him. If Henry was here, he would also be amazed and relieved that he had not paid the wrong effort. Especially Ervin's sword dance, which can be regarded as a unique one in the opera world, and his art is unparalleled. I didn't expect that after listening to the operas over the years, Ervin still has such an unknown skill. I don't know if he had it in Pingyang or practiced it after coming to Peking. How can it not be surprising?

Whether people in the city listen to opera or not, their interest in Ervin has been increasing year by year with his fame. By this time, his reputation has reached a peak, which is also a height that actors have never dared to hope for since ancient times. Everyone talked about Ervin, Shuiyun Tower, and many unverified gossips. Any news that was related to Ervin could make people chew for a long time. It was like the enthusiasm of Westerners for movie stars on the other side of the ocean at that time. Those who admired him wanted to kneel down and k!ss the tip of his shoes. Some of the bracelets and fans used by Ervin left in the backstage were stolen by the chores and sold at a high price. Ervin was still alive, but his life was interpreted into seven or eight fictitious versions, which were published in newspapers of all sizes. As soon as "The Hidden Dragon" was performed, it exploded the next day, and it goes without saying that people were studying the secret history of the Qing Palace. It goes without saying that people scolded Ervin for being a yellow-haired child full of nonsense. It is said that a tabloid wrote such a gossip, saying that Ervin is actually the descendant of the illegitimate son left by the emperor in the play, otherwise how could he know such a secret so clearly? A few days after this news was published, another insider revealed that this "Hidden Dragon" was originally a story told by Henry, so Henry should be the illegitimate son, and Ervin is Henry's illegitimate son. It also includes the calculation of Henry and Ervin's age and life experience. It also said that the reason why the opera industry has such a real dragon vein is that it can prosper unprecedentedly.

Because Ervin is young, excellent, and used to being praised since childhood, and because his life is colorful and lively, he has the kind of arrogance that young talents usually have. On stage, he is so obsessed with the play that he doesn't know what year it is or where he is. After leaving the stage, every bit of honor and disgrace is in his heart. He probably knows that collecting reviews is a shameful thing, so he never does it blatantly. However, there are people around him who flatter him and spread rumors to him. Ervin feels happy after hearing the nice words, and naturally he will respond to any request. It is a clever thing to ask for ten times the same. No one dares to tell him the criticism of him, so he can only find it by himself. Ervin taught Xiaolai to buy all the newspapers that gossip about him, and read them one by one behind closed doors. When he encounters compliments, he often reads them again, so that he can experience the happiness again happily. When he encounters criticisms or rumors, he looks at Xiaolai with wide eyes and says: They are talking nonsense again! I am not like that! Xiaolai folded the newspaper and put it away, and agreed: Of course, Boss Shang is not like that.

Ervin was a little overjoyed by the recent gossip in the newspapers. Usually, those reporters would write about his several outdated romantic anecdotes and make up rumors about his grievances and hatreds with his peers. Ervin was gossiped about by them, but he just communicated with a few senior sisters in Shuiyun Tower. Later, Ryan appeared. Ryan knew very little about the rumors in the theater world, and he always told Ryan about them, letting Ryan hear a lot of stories about the male thieves and female prostitutes of their actors. This time, it was not easy to catch Yu Qing. Ervin and Yu Qing hit it off at first sight, and after a few plays, they became familiar with each other. Yu Qing had been to more places than him, had a wide range of social contacts, and had deep knowledge. The two of them chattered at the newspapers and were overjoyed. Sometimes they talked about the secrets of the emperor's palace, and sometimes they said that the reporter was bribed to throw dirty water on others, and their statements were inconsistent. One can't help but feel that gossip has nothing to do with the level of education or the difference between men and women. It only depends on whether the other person treats you as their own and whether they put on airs in front of you.

Ervin slapped the table and laughed, "According to their calculation, Henry had already met Prince Qi when he gave birth to me. If Prince Qi knew that Henry had a child with a woman...wow! That would be a huge uproar!"
