Chapter 14 One piece of good news, two pieces of bad news
Shen Liangjun couldn't sit still anymore, so he immediately got down and knelt down beside Liu Tielan, vowing: "Master, don't worry, I have grown up with my master. Without my master, there would be no me. I will never set up my own business in my life, and I will stay with you all my life."
I will learn opera from you."
Liu Tielan looked at his eldest apprentice, thinking that if you want to start your own business, you must have the ability.
Throughout the ages, Liu Yunqing has always been the clown to play the leading role, but if someone wants fame, money, status, and status, what do you have?
Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to beat when he needed to.
Liu Xi has been sitting at the table without moving. It's not that she also wants to go out and start her own business, but she is different from Shen Liangjun.
She carries a blood feud with her whole family. It is unrealistic to say that she will never leave Xi Rongsheng for the rest of her life.
But in order to make Liu Tielan feel relieved, she was happy to tell this lie and kneel down together.
So she waited for Shen Liangjun to finish speaking and when she and Liu Tielan looked over, she also made a gesture to stand up.
But Liu Tielan directly used words to hold her down.
"Hey girl, you don't have to kneel down."
"Master?"
Shen Liangjun and Liu Xi both looked at him in surprise.
Especially Liu Xi. On the way back from the theater, Liu Tielan clearly promised to teach her how to sing. He couldn't be in a bad mood and regret it again, right?
Liu Tielan waved his hand towards her and said: "When I saw you on stage for the first time, I knew that you were definitely not a creature in the pool. If I really want you to stay in my happy life for the rest of your life, it would be a shame on my part. But don't worry,
Since I have agreed to teach you how to sing, I, Liu Tielan, will never break my promise, but please allow me to think about it for two days and think about how to teach you the best way."
After he said this, he no longer thought of eating, stood up and went back to the house.
Shen Liangjun looked surprised and looked back at Liu Xi and said, "Hey girl, has Master promised to teach you opera?"
Liu Xi smiled slightly, nodded and said "Yeah".
Shen Liangjun was also happy. After all, someone shared Liu Tielan's firepower, and he could be scolded less.
The ancestor's birthday banquet was held for three days and three nights, and the famous actors in the capital sang in the palace for three days.
That day, Liu Xi went to the street to buy cotton with the money given by Wen Zhongjun. He happened to see a row of rickshaws coming from one direction. The people sitting on them were all in high spirits and very beautiful.
The young man at the front was wearing a large emerald ring that was quite eye-catching. He looked like an ordinary man at first glance. He also had a bit of arrogance in his appearance. He was sitting leaning against the carriage with half-squinted eyes. He looked extremely noble.
Liu Xi wondered about the identities of these people and couldn't help but ask a newsboy: "Hey? Who are these people? They are so impressive."
"You don't even know them?" The newsboy continued with contempt in his eyes: "This is an offering from the inner court of the Shengping Department. I just came out to celebrate the birthday of my ancestor, and I heard that I received a lot of reward money."
When Liu Xi heard this, he subconsciously looked at those people again, thinking that he had to perform in the capital. How decent is this?
I heard the two people next to me pointing at the young man wearing the finger ring and talking: "Did you see that? That is the martial arts student Yang Xiaolong who sang famously in front of our ancestors the day before yesterday!"
"I guess that's the case. Didn't you see the big ring on his hand? I heard that the ancestor personally rewarded it."
"What did you personally reward? I heard that he personally took it from the ancestors."
"You can say this? He is an actor, how dare he do this? After all, the eunuch changed hands."
Liu Xi didn't like the expressions on those people's faces when they talked about this. Jiao'er must have his own ability to become famous, especially if he can become famous in front of his ancestors.
They don't care about this person's abilities, they only care about these private matters, which is boring.
But she was finally sure of one thing. Liu Tielan was not lying. Her ancestors really doted on opera singers. As long as she studied opera well and became famous as a singer like them, it might be possible to avenge the whole family.
While she was thinking about this, the newsboy who had been tugging at the corner of her clothes became unhappy.
"Do you want to buy the newspaper, sister? If you don't buy it, don't delay me from selling it to others!"
Liu Xi was a little embarrassed, so he took out a copper plate from his sleeve pocket, bought a newspaper, and stared at it all the way back to Pocket End Alley.
It's not that she is very interested in reading the newspaper, it's just that the headlines on the front page of the newspaper are really relevant to her.
"The merits of Yuwen Shike's offering of treasures will make up for his shortcomings. Our ancestors allowed him to return to his hometown to visit relatives."
This completely shied away the responsibility for the defeat of the naval battle. It was clear that he was climbing up the ladder by stepping on the flesh and blood of her family!
Liu Xi stared at the news as she walked. When she entered the house, she found two holes in the newspaper in her hand.
Shen Liangjun saw her in the courtyard and asked angrily: "Why does it take so long to go out to buy something? If it were a little later, there would be no time to make dinner."
As he spoke, he grabbed the newspaper in Liu Xi's hand and habitually turned to the section at the back where news about Peking Opera artists was often published. After taking a glance, he was shocked.
"Xi girl, please read to me quickly what is written here?"
Shen Liangjun handed the newspaper back to Liu Xi.
There was nothing he could do, as the opera singers were not very literate, so he only saw the photos of Shen Mengjun and Wen Zhongjun, but could not understand what was written on them.
Liu Xi had just been staring at the news about Yuwen Shike and didn't notice it. Now she saw it and was a little surprised. But she remembered that Wen Zhongjun said that Mr. Jin would ask the newspaper to write a review and praise him. She thought it should be
Those are some good words.
So she didn't think much and started reading to Shen Liangjun. Shen Mengjun's new master was very famous, so his news was on it, so Liu Xi started reading to him.
The photo published in the newspaper was a photo of Shen Mengjun and Boss Sun, and there was nothing unusual about it. It was just that Boss Sun had accepted Shen Mengjun as his disciple and published it in the newspaper to tell the world.
Liu Xi finished reading this and was about to read on when she suddenly heard a cry from beside her. She looked up and saw Shen Liangjun wiping away his tears.
"This is a good thing, senior brother, why are you still crying?"
"Don't worry about me, I'm happy for the second child. Just read on and see how the third child is doing."
Shen Liangjun wiped away a few tears and followed Liu Xi to look down.
Liu Xi then continued to read: "Hua Dan Rookie——"
Liu Xi frowned, then looked back carefully, and after confirming that he had read correctly, he continued reading: "Jin Xiangyu, a new female actor, sang three times in a row at the Jixiang Grand Theater, and the venues were full, making her famous in the capital...
"
"Jin Xiangyu?"
Shen Liangjun grabbed the newspaper and read the report about Wen Zhongjun several times. Although he could not read well, he still recognized the three characters "Wen Zhongjun".
But he looked from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, but he never found the words "Wen Zhongjun".
"Here, this is the photo of the third child. Why is he Jin Xiangyu? He should be Wen Zhongjun."
