Chapter 2 The Theater
Chen stared at the young man in a daze, and opened his eyes wide after a while.

"You are Mr. Liang's younger brother."

The young man smiled and said, "Mother Chen has a really good memory, come in quickly."

Chen happily followed the young man in, and Gu Heng hurried to follow.

The theater is not big, and there are children practicing kung fu everywhere. There are a few children who look quite upright, and they do the splits with their waists down.

Gu Heng was immediately fascinated by it. Mrs. Chen took Gu Heng's arm and cursed Gu Heng for not seeing the world.

The young man brought the two of them to the main hall, and he said, "My senior sister is currently singing at the old lady Zhang's mansion."

Mrs. Chen echoed: "The class leader is famous for being a good singer, so it's only natural that I'm busy, but now I'm in some difficulties, so I have to ask the class leader for help."

The young man looked at the attires of the two, and then asked, "What's wrong with Chen's mother?"

Mrs. Chen was not polite to him either.

"My son went to Beijing for the exam the year before last. He said that he found an errand in Beijing and let my daughter and I go to Beijing. I took my daughter on the way to the capital. Unfortunately, I ran out of money, so I wanted to find some in Nanjing. Work, collect enough travel expenses, and then go to Beijing to reunite."

The young man's face was flat, and he continued to ask: "I see."

Mrs. Chen continued: "It's not easy to live in Nanjing, so I want to borrow precious land to live for a few days. I have my own business in my hands, and I will leave when I make enough money."

Seeing that the young man was silent, Chen took Gu Heng's arm and said.

"Although my youngest daughter is not bright, she is very hard-working. These days, having her serve tea and water in the troupe is worth the room fee."

Hearing this, the young man smiled and said, "If it's Mama Chen, you can stay here, after all, you are the savior of the senior sister."

The young man shouted to the outside: "Xiaotao, arrange for Mother Chen and the others to stay."

I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl coming in outside. She looked pretty, but her complexion was not very good. She said in a low voice, "Okay, our theater troupe is kind."

Chen Shi was not angry at all, and left with Xiaotao after saying goodbye to the young man.

Xiaotao led them to a side room. The room was not big, but there was a bed anyway.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Miss Xiaotao, my girl's name is Ah Heng, what kind of work will the theater troupe have in the future, even if she is asked to do it, we can't live and live for free, right?"

Xiaotao was very unhappy, so she said, "We just live and don't care about food, your daughter is as skinny as a kitten, what kind of work can she do?"

Gu Heng, who was named, felt a little helpless.

Chen still smiled.

"My daughter is quite capable. I go out all day to look for work, and I don't eat in the theater. My daughter is thin and can't eat much. Ah Heng, quickly call sister Xiaotao. From now on in this theater, what's the matter with you?" I'm looking for your little sister Tao."

Xiao Tao was speechless when she heard this.

Gu Heng called out in a low voice: "Sister Xiaotao."

Xiao Tao sighed helplessly, and she said to Gu Heng: "You come with me, you must be obedient."

Gu Heng hurriedly nodded and followed Xiaotao.

Xiaotao took her to the front hall and to the kitchen. At this moment, they should be cooking dinner. Three master cooks in the kitchen were cooking. One of the cooks with a kind face smiled and said to Xiaotao: "This skinny one is as tall as bean sprouts. Where did you find the same girl, she shouldn't be able to sing because of her figure?"

Xiaotao said helplessly: "My friend who came to join the class leader, the little girl has been helping in the kitchen these few days."

The kind-faced cook touched Gu Heng's head.

"Okay, Xiaotao, don't worry."

There were three people in the kitchen, all of them were elderly actors, and the food they cooked was naturally not very tasty, so Gu Heng was washing the vegetables and serving the dishes in the kitchen.

She took five or six small dishes to the front hall and put them on the table. There were several beautiful young girls sitting beside the table. These should be actors kept by the theater troupe.

Strictly speaking, ancient theater troupes were not serious places.

Many concubines of rich and noble families bought their concubines from opera troupes. Firstly, opera singers were usually good-looking, and secondly, it didn’t cost much money to marry one with low status.

And the troupe leader of the Chunxi Opera Troupe is a woman named Liang Hongyu, who is a very famous actress by the Qinhuai River.

It's just that now in his 30s, it's not as good as before.

And Chunxi troupe didn't seem to have any famous actors again, seeing that the troupe was getting more and more depressed, their mother and daughter defected at this time, they didn't have a good face, naturally they should.

After Gu Heng's work was done, the people in the kitchen left her some leftovers, she ate some, and they sent her back.

After Gu Heng went back, the Chen family hadn't returned yet.

It should be evening at this moment, and Mrs. Chen probably went to the street. In fact, Gu Heng really wanted to go and have a look. After all, the ancient Qinhuai River must be extremely lively.

Gu Heng thought about it and decided not to go, after all, she is now under the fence, so she still has to be careful.

She closed her eyes and prepared to sleep, but who would have thought that there would be a few singing voices suddenly in the darkness.

Gu Heng was a little curious, she got up from the bed, went outside, and saw two almost identical people at the end of the corridor, both of them were wearing white clothes, and their hair was loose, it was even more strange in this dark night.

Gu Heng didn't dare to make a sound, only saw one of them singing: "It's hard to think about this lovesickness..."

Another person went on to sing: "It's so twisted..."

These two people walked towards Gu Heng, seeing the shadows of the two of them, they thought it wasn't a ghost, when they walked in, Gu Heng was stunned.

This appearance is really first-class and outstanding, and they are two women.The appearance is exactly the same, but the eyes are a little dull.

At this moment, Xiaotao's voice came from a distance.

"Ah Qing, Ah Ming, come back now, if the troupe master finds out that you are secretly singing..."

Those two hurriedly left, leaving Gu Heng and Xiao Tao with a helpless face.

"Hurry up and go to sleep, the night here is not peaceful, and drunk people often come knocking on the door."

Gu Heng hurried back to the house.

These two are the two idiots born to Liang Hongyu. These two have such outstanding appearances that Liang Hongyu must be extremely beautiful.

Gu Heng fell asleep with extremely complicated emotions, but was woken up by Chen Shi the next morning.

I only heard the Chen family say: "You lazy bastard, follow me to see the class leader."

After packing up, Gu Heng followed his mother to the main hall, only to see a very beautiful woman in her 30s sitting in the hall, and that woman was holding Mrs. Chen's hand.

The two talked for a while.

"Leader, don't say that. If I could come earlier, I would..."

Liang Hongyu sighed slightly, as if she didn't want to mention this moment, her eyes looked at Gu Heng.
