Chapter 18 Audition
Shang Zirui looked at it carefully for a while, and then he was muttering something, only to hear him whispering: "It's interesting, you girl has a talent for making up stories, but it's a pity that the words and sentences are too poor."

Gu Heng looked at Shang Zirui, and she timidly asked: "Ever since I heard Mr. Liang Hongyuliang's play in Nanjing, I will never forget it, but I have no talent, can't be on stage, can't sing in the play, but I think that if I can It is also good to write plays for these famous actors."

Shang Zirui was surprised when he heard Gu Heng's words.

Although some famous opera actors are quite sought after by the upper class, they are low-class things after all. Women from ordinary families, let alone singing opera, will be gossiped even if they are contaminated.

But Gu Heng, this girl, got involved with Xia Jiuliu.

Shang Zirui couldn't help looking at Chen Shi, Chen Shi sighed helplessly.

"Old gentleman, don't look at me. My daughter still wants to learn from me the tricks of gynecology. She just wants to dig in because she has a hard way. I've said it many times but I don't listen."

When Shang Zirui heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Children are still young, it is inevitable to be curious about these things, but since she is an innocent girl, she likes to listen to operas on weekdays, so don't be contaminated, or else your mother You still have to worry about your marriage."

When Gu Heng heard this, the boss was immediately reluctant, and she said: "I don't think so, my mother supported the three of us brothers and sisters with this medical skill, and the old man also relied on his own ability to eat, so it's not good. Is it? And the main thing is to write plays with others to make money, who can’t live with money these days.”

Shang Zirui smiled and said nothing.

Gu Heng felt a little anxious.

"Relying on mountains and rivers is worse than relying on others, after all, it is better to rely on yourself."

Shang Zirui laughed, he stroked his beard, and said, "You're an interesting girl, so I'll teach you on the way to the capital, but what I'll teach you is just the structure of opera, but You have to figure out the specific plot and libretto yourself."

Shang Zirui took out a book from his package.

"This is a book of lyrics and music written by everyone in the Yuan Dynasty. You can recite it vividly, so don't be lazy."

Gu Heng hurriedly nodded, with a small face smiling like a flower.

Seeing Gu Heng like this, Mrs. Chen sighed helplessly. Fortunately, she still has a daughter. If she really only had such an unworthy daughter, she would be very angry to death.

Along the way, Gu Heng has been reciting that book of lyrics and music. The ancient operas are all spoken in authentic Mandarin, so Gu Heng will make mistakes every time he recites them. Shang Zirui corrects her pronunciation very severely.

Gu Heng barely enjoyed it.

It took Shang Zirui a few days to write a play about Gu Heng's story. Gu Heng just saw the play and felt that the words were beautiful.

After Gu Heng begged in every possible way, Shang Zirui finally spoke when they settled down for dinner.

The ancient people had very few entertainment methods, so when they heard someone singing, they naturally surrounded them.

Shang Zirui sang that Chen Shimei went to the exam alone, won the first prize in the exam, but was given a marriage by the emperor, Chen Shimei's choice for the poor wife and the noble princess in the family.

Although Shang Zirui didn't wear a costume, and Shang Zirui's movements were random, but this libretto combined with the charm, almost portrayed the image of Chen Shimei as a hypocritical and vicious scholar.

Just one song, everyone applauded.

I only saw a man who looked like a nobleman bowing his hands to Shang Zirui.

"If you go to the capital to find a few well-known troupes to sing this play, it will be a disaster. I don't know what this play is called, but I have never heard of it?"

Shang Zirui said with a smile: "This is a new work made by me and this little friend, it's called "The Case of Guillotine Beauty""

The noble young master's eyes fell on Gu Heng.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The girl is Brother Li's family?"

Gu Heng felt embarrassed, but in order to save trouble, he had no choice but to say, "That's right."

The young master smiled slightly, and suddenly unfolded his expensive fan.

"Brother Li is really a wonderful person."

After the young master finished speaking, he turned and left, Chen couldn't help asking: "Who is this person?"

Others replied: "Lin Chen, the young master of the Xingrong Chamber of Commerce."

The Xingrong Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Beizhili, and it is said that it has some friendship with the nobles in the palace, so it is a very big backer.

At this moment, Gu Heng feels more and more that Li Wei is not a simple person. To be praised by a young master of a chamber of commerce is definitely not a simple street gangster.

At this time, Li Wei happened to come to deliver food to them.

In the past few days, he seemed to be darker, still smiling, and sent meat pies to Gu Heng and the others, this time there was also hot soup and rice.

"The people in my roommate said that Xiaodouzi is as skinny as a cat. I am afraid that he will not grow taller in the future, so he asks for more food."

Li Wei stroked Xiaodouzi's head, and Xiaodouzi said gratefully, "Brother Li, you are so kind to me."

Li Wei hugged Xiaodouzi's neck.

"That's right, you call me big brother, so I must treat you as a younger brother. My brother tells you, the most important thing to do in this arena is loyalty. Look at people who talk about loyalty. This friend Many, you Brother Li, the reason why I can bring you out is also because I have many friends."

What Li Wei said was nonsense, but Xiaodouzi took it seriously.

Gu Heng rolled his eyes helplessly, if Li Wei went to sing in an opera, he must be the first one, and he would speak in a different way.

Li Wei said to Xiaodouzi again: "However, you, sister Ah Heng, can't do it. Always rolling your eyes will drive away good luck."

Gu Heng looked at Li Wei, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.

Xiaodouzi tightly held the hem of his clothes.

"Brother Li, I'm actually a little scared. I'm afraid that when I go to the capital, after seeing my father, he will kill me like those people."

Xiaodouzi cried after saying this.

He hasn't spoken much in the past few days. After all, he is still a child, no matter how brave he is, he can't stand up to the betrayal of his closest relatives.

The originally joyous atmosphere instantly became gloomy.

Gu Heng reached out and touched Xiaodouzi's head, she said in a low voice: "If he wants to kill you, you can kneel in front of the yamen, cry and call your father to kill you, the emperor will definitely put him in prison .”

Li Wei rubbed Xiaodouzi's head vigorously.

"Yes, even if the official does not punish him, your mother will not spare him at night."

Finally Xiaodouzi couldn't bear it anymore, he cried and said, "But my mother is already dead..."

Li Wei grabbed Xiaodouzi's hand and placed it on his small chest.

"That person can turn into a ghost after death."

The topic gradually develops in a strange direction...

In the early morning of the second day, Shang Zirui suddenly found Gu Heng and said to Gu Heng, "Master Lin wants to buy that play, are you willing to sell it?"

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment, she thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I have a merciless request here."
