Chapter 51 Confused
Chapter 51 The road ahead is unclear
Except for Song Youzhen, the rest of the class had families in the capital, so everyone went back to their homes at night, leaving Song Youzhen alone to look after the students in the troupe. However, there were too many students, and Ye Rongzhen was worried about leaving Song Youzhen alone.
As before, he abandoned his home and lived in the front yard. He checked on the students' houses twice every night to make sure that all the students were asleep before going back to the house to rest.
Sometimes Xiao Yonghua and Tang Congshan will be together.
Several class leaders really loved the students in the theater troupe as if they were their disciples.
In addition, Niu Zaihe has sent an accountant here. All revenue from the theater troupe is under the management of the accountant. The accountant is also responsible for hiring the cooks in the canteen and the handymen in the nursing home. Ye Rongzhen is responsible for supervision. If anyone is incompetent or cuts corners,
, to fool the students, he would talk to the accountant, or directly write a letter to inform Niu Zaihe.
Niu Zaihe occasionally came to the capital and would personally assess the students' academic performance. Those who did not meet the standards would have to ask an introducer to take them home.
Yesterday, when teaching Xibao and the others the rules, Wu Yuexian said that they had to pass the exam before they could officially join the theater class to learn opera. But in fact, from the second day, the class leaders had already started teaching them opera.
There were ten students who came in with Xibao this time, and six of them wanted to study for female roles, but she was the only one who chose Song Youzhen. Mei Zilan naturally went with Wu Yuexian, and the other two were taken away by Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen.
However, Su Yunqing injured his jaw yesterday. Although he found an old Chinese medicine doctor to take him back, the pain was severe when he opened his voice. For the time being, his disciples were led by Song Qiwen. Song Qiwen also taught martial arts students, so he was very busy.
Hit the back of the head.
Last night, Song Youzhen and the class leader came down from dinner late, and Xibao fell asleep before he could wait for him.
Song Youzhen also felt sorry for her because she was overworked. She had gone through many hardships and dangers at a young age, and now she was still being discriminated against when she joined a theater troupe to learn acting. She couldn't bear to disturb her to rest, so she didn't bother her.
He waited until 3:30 in the morning before he came to call Xibao's door. Unexpectedly, Xibao had gotten up early and the room was empty.
"Master?"
When Xibao saw Song Youzhen, he put down his sleeves and walked over excitedly, saying, "Why are you here so early?"
Song Youzhen looked at her posture and said happily: "Are you practicing Kung Fu?"
"Um."
Xibao nodded, had already put away his clothes, and said: "It's an old habit to get up at midnight to practice kung fu. Unfortunately, no one got up yet. I was afraid of disturbing others, so I didn't raise my voice and only practiced kung fu for a while."
When she said this, she began to look at Song Youzhen curiously, waiting for him to explain his purpose.
Song Youzhen was really pleased. Now Xibao was less than ten years old. A child as old as her came from a poor family. Who doesn't love to play and sleep, and needs to be woken up early?
At this point, even the older children in the theater troupe haven't gotten up yet.
Xibao, a little Jiao'e who comes from a wealthy family, has actually gotten up and practiced Kung Fu for three moments.
It’s true that God wants to feed you, and you can’t do it without eating.
For someone as talented and hard-working as Xibao, it would be unforgivable if she could not perform on stage!
"It's okay. I saw that you went to bed early last night, and I was afraid that you wouldn't know the rules of getting up to practice, so I came here to remind you. Now it seems that I am worrying too much."
As he spoke, he looked at Xibao's little face that had turned red due to practicing Kung Fu, and suddenly thought of something, turned around and brought a wooden basin over.
"This is what everyone in the troupe has, a wooden basin and two hand towels."
Xibao stared at the wooden basin and was a little surprised.
I have been studying drama for so long, and this is the first time I have experienced real troupe life.
She took the wooden basin, looked at Song Youzhen in a daze and asked, "I'm not a member of the Xilian Society, can I still take it?"
"certainly."
Song Youzhen smiled, "As long as you stay in Xilian Society, the troupe will be responsible for you. There is no doubt about this.
Originally, the students in the theater troupe were allowed to go to the Little Canglang Bathhouse to take a bath twice a week, but you are a girl and it is not convenient to go there. Why not boil water and take a bath in your room, and then become your teacher and help you out on the streets?
Empty a bathtub."
"Well, thank you Master."
Xibao suddenly giggled, and Song Youzhen looked a little surprised.
"Why are you giggling like that?"
"I was thinking that my stay in the troupe has not even been decided yet, and Master is already helping me think about my future." Xibao smiled even more happily. Although the road ahead was thrilling and confusing, Song Youzhen was waiting for it.
She is so good, so she is lucky.
Song Youzhen couldn't help but feel a layer of bitterness in his heart. The bottom line was that his fate was unlucky, and his apprentice was also despised. Naturally, he had to treat his apprentice twice as much.
"Don't think blindly, you have to believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to stay."
"Um."
Xibao nodded fiercely and said: "Yesterday, Team Leader Wu told us that the assessment period will be up to two months. Even if I can only stay here for two months, I will learn as much as possible and never do anything."
Let me live up to this opportunity that Master gave me."
I still think there is a possibility of failing the test.
Although Song Youzhen heard it, he was unable to refute it. He knew very well that no matter how good and outstanding Xibao was, as long as Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen united with other class leaders to oppose it, Xibao would not get high marks.
The future of their master and apprentice in Xilian Society is equally confused.
"Well, Master knows. After you wash up, go to eat first. Meet in my classroom at 2:00 a.m. to meet the other classmates."
Song Youzhen finished her explanation and left first, but Xibao felt a little guilty.
She thought of what Tan Xiaofu had said yesterday, telling everyone not to choose her class.
Although Song Youzhen joined the troupe earlier, he has been in Harbin all his life, and it is only today that he officially started taking classes and accepted apprentices. He had never had an apprentice in the troupe before.
With Tan Xiaofu's big mouth, I'm afraid all the students in the Xilian Society knew last night that Song Youzhen had accepted her as a female apprentice.
In Song Youzhen's classroom this morning, she was the only student. After all, she was the one who got the master into trouble.
When she thought about this, she felt gloomy even during her morning meal.
What made her even more frustrated was that after her conversation with Mei Zilan last night, Mei Zilan always took detours when he saw her this morning, ignored her and avoided her like a savage beast.
Virtue!
The friendship between children is always so fragile, you don't even know where you offended him.
But what surprised her was that when she arrived in front of Song Youzhen's classroom, there was already laughter and laughter inside. Apparently Song Youzhen was not the only one.
Xibao was a little excited and couldn't wait to step in, wanting to see who was so promising and knowledgeable enough to choose Song Youzhen as a good teacher at a glance. He saw four little carrots turning back to look at her.
As soon as they saw her, they swarmed up and said, "Sister Xibao, we meet again so soon."
Some of the rules in the theater troupe refer to the book "Forty Years of Stage Life: Memoirs of Mei Lanfang", and some adaptations have been made on the basis of it.
