Upon hearing that the troupe might have to rely on Xibao to sing fashionable children's operas to make a living in the future, the faces of the troupe leaders darkened.
Song Youzhen originally agreed with Wu Yuexian's proposal, but when he saw the atmosphere, he didn't dare to speak.
In the end, it was Ye Rongzhen who acted like a patriarch and said: "Xibao must go, of course. Now she has no chance in the capital, and going to Songjiang Mansion is just the way out. Since we accepted her back then, we
Think about her future.
As for other children, if they can work hard and find a way in Songjiang Prefecture, it will naturally be of great benefit to our Xilian Society."
When the president said this, everyone's heavy mood became better.
Ye Rongzhen then continued: "It's just in-laws. After all, I am still the president of Xilian Club. Although the situation in the club is not good now, it has not reached the point where I want you to smash the pot and sell iron. If you want to smash it, you must smash my family's pot first.
Let’s talk about the old rules of our troupe business: nothing ugly can make a show.
If I want to take my children to Songjiang Prefecture, I can do it without me, Ye Rongzhen, but how can I do it without you, Xiao Yonghua?
Why don't you work harder and lead Xibao, Xijun and Xifu to explore the way first.
I stayed with the children to wait for your good news."
Although Ye Rongzhen said it as if he had taken advantage of it, in fact everyone knew that those who stayed were the ones who suffered the most.
Those who broke out had no foundation outside, and had to rely on the help of those who stayed to sort out their financial burdens.
But the opportunities are all outside, and there are not many opportunities in the capital. Their life will begin to be very tight, and they will have to wait every day for people from Songjiang Prefecture to send money or bring good news back. There is nothing more painful than this kind of life.
.
But Ye Rongzhen's words are always so to the point that it is impossible to refute.
At this moment, even Xiao Yonghua couldn't say "no".
He had a wide network of contacts, strong connections, and was somewhat famous in Songjiang Mansion. He knew that it would be more appropriate for him to bring someone there than for Ye Rongzhen to go there.
"In-laws, what are you—"
The two old brothers looked at each other and burst into tears.
But everyone knows that separation is inevitable. If we stick to this mess, the outcome of the troupe will only be worse.
When Xibao learned that he was going to Songjiang Mansion, there was not much surprise.
Ever since she knew something had happened to Mr. Niu, she had guessed that this would be the outcome.
I just didn't expect that the class leaders would unanimously agree to take her first.
Besides that, she was a little worried.
"Master, now something happens to Mr. Niu's family, what do you think will happen to my master and senior brother?"
Song Youzhen knew that Xibao was asking about Liu Tielan and Shen Liangjun.
Over the years, every time Ye Rongzhen wrote to Niu Zaihe to report on the situation in the club, Xibao would always write a letter and beg to take it back with him.
When the Niu family comes back next year, they will bring a reply letter from Liu Tielan.
But no one from the Niu family came this year, and she didn't receive a reply. To this day, she still doesn't know what happened to them.
Thinking of what happened to his old friend, Song Youzhen was a little worried, but he couldn't bear to worry Xibao, who had finally recovered.
"Don't worry, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Mr. Niu is the richest man in the three eastern provinces. Even if he can't come up with any silver to help us, the troupe he raises will still be able to make ends meet."
What he didn't tell Xibao was that the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Japanese were bombing and plundering everywhere in the three eastern provinces, and many wealthy people's homes were looted.
Mr. Niu and his family were afraid that they would not be able to escape in time, so they probably wouldn't bring the rest of the family with them.
But buskers like Liu Tielan and Shen Liangjun, who have been in the world all their lives, should not be so easy to suffer.
Compared with going to Vladivostok with Liu Tielan and the others before, now going to Songjiang Prefecture with Song Youzhen, Xibao and the others have a new choice in terms of transportation.
Of course, it's still not a train.
Although there are already tens of thousands of kilometers of railways on China's land, most of them exist for the purpose of mining mineral resources. Each province builds its own railways, and even the standards of the railway tracks are different, and they are not connected to each other. Therefore,
It has not been popularized for civilian use.
There are many railways in the capital, but they were built for the convenience of ancestors when they went out to enjoy the scenery, and they could not be used by ordinary people.
Therefore, although Xibao has seen trains several times in Beijing, he has never ridden one.
When they go to Songjiang Prefecture this time, they must first go to Tianjinwei's pier, and then take a boat to Songjiang Prefecture.
Sitting on a boat is no stranger to Xibao, who has grown up in Tianjin Wei since she was a child, and her family also has a Navy Yamen branch officer. She has nothing new, let alone fear.
But Mei Zilan and Tan Xiaofu were a little nervous.
This time I went to Songjiang Mansion. In addition to the three of them, there were also Lin Buxifan and Wang Xiaoqing in the same sect. In addition, there was also Zhang Xikui, the current senior brother in charge of punishment, who studied Jingjiao opera.
Since you are going to explore Songjiang Mansion, you must at least bring everything with you.
In the class, there were Xiao Yonghua, Wu Yuexian, Song Youzhen and Tang Congshan. Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen stayed behind to accompany Ye Rongzhen and take care of the other children.
There were a total of ten people and one cart of luggage. Wu Yuexian and Song Youzhen took the children in the front, while Xiao Yonghua and Tang Congshan took the other cart to escort the luggage.
On the carriage heading to Tianjin Wei, Lin Buxifan started muttering.
"You disciples are here, and the master is also here. Why can't my master come with you?"
Since Song Youzhen and Su Yunqing reconciled, Su Yunqing's temper has improved a lot, and he has become much closer to Lin Buxifan. At first, Lin Buxifan was not used to it and would always run away from him when he saw him.
Later, as time passed, he couldn't leave her.
Now that other teachers are following him, he is alone, and his heart is unbalanced.
But Wang Xiaoqing blocked his mouth and said, "Why are you the only one? Didn't Xiaofu's master also follow him?"
"Can it be the same? His master is President Ye. If President Ye leaves, what will happen to the others?"
Lin Buxifan was not convinced.
It was Wu Yuexian who solved his doubts.
"It's not that your master doesn't want to accompany you, it's just that he doesn't dare to come to Songjiang Mansion."
After hearing this, Song Youzhen couldn't help but smile, and quickly said to Wu Yuexian, "Why are you telling the children this? It's better to save some face for Yun Qing."
Wu Yuexian then stopped talking, but the children's curiosity was aroused, and they surrounded Wu Yuexian and asked questions.
Only Tan Xiaofu and Mei Zilan kept crowding around Xibao, motionless.
Mei Zilan was used to being quiet, so Xibao didn't find it strange at all that he kept silent.
But it's strange that Tan Xiaofu is so quiet.
Xibao then turned his head to look at him and saw that his face was pale, his body was shaking constantly, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xibao asked him softly.
She didn't want to make any announcement until the matter was clear.
It was not easy to be selected to go to Songjiang Mansion, and she didn't want Tan Xiaofu to lose this opportunity.
As a result, Tan Xiaofu looked up at her as if he was frightened.
"Uh? What?"
Mei Zilan also turned her head to look at him and frowned after a while.
"Xifu, what are you afraid of?"
