Pioneering

Chapter 71
Although Surabaya City is only a medium-sized city, but because it is located in the main waterway of the south of the Yangtze River, it has a large population, freight traffic, and prosperous commerce.

As the largest pear garden in Surabaya City, Qingping Theater is the most attractive place to attract high-ranking officials, wealthy traveling merchants, and the children of gentry.

Li Qingyuan, as the top troupe that Qingping Theater has been touting recently, its novel script and unique singing style really caught the eyes of these high-rollers, saying that the trip was worthwhile.

With the rewards from the high-rollers, the plays performed by Li Qingyuan were performed again and again, and the applause in the theater building was loud and loud.

But no matter how lively the scene is, there are times when it dissipates.

The closed door drum in the streets has been beating and beating.

Although the watchmen and the night watchmen did not dare to barge in and ask questions, disturbing the elegant mood of these nobles, but the voices of the opera singers were so tired that they could no longer sing.
Team leader She got away after making repeated apologies and begging for forgiveness.

The high-rollers, who were addicted to the drama, looked at the sky and got up to leave.

They would never consider taking a carriage for the far ones, taking a sedan chair for the nearby ones, or walking for the next ones.

Just as the spectators were reminiscing about tonight's plot and slowly started to leave, there was a silver bell-like laughter in their ears.

"Hey hee hee~ Guest officers, stay here for a while, let the servants sing another song for you, shall we?"

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared on the stage. The visitor was dressed in a plain white shirt, with light makeup and bright eyes, looking graceful and graceful.

Immediately, all the spectators were attracted by the woman's grace and stopped in their tracks.

A rich gentleman frowned and said:

"Brother Zhao, what is Qingping Theater doing? Isn't this too unruly?"

A thin and tall staff member next to him said:
"Who knows? Maybe they want to support a new team?
But brother Zhang, why do you care so much?
Look at this little lady, she has a really good figure!

I just don't know how to sing. "

After all, the audience was attracted by the woman's beauty, and they took their seats in the bustling crowd.

From somewhere, Binbai’s vicissitudes singing:
"Thinking about the previous dynasty is like a dream, and the chaos is everywhere.

Demons entered the court and competed to eat people, and the eighteen anti-kings raised their poles to dominate Hengyu. "

The curtain in front of the stage was slowly opened.

The first act:
The shepherd boy in the south of the Yangtze River draws his sword angrily, and Tangquan Tianjie is a gentleman.

……

Act Two:
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, covered her face and wept:
"Have pity on my daughter of the royal family, and never harmed the common people.

Winter loose clothes and summer donate porridge to help neighbors every year.

Unexpected misfortune came and the family was destroyed, and parents, sisters and younger brothers were all in distress. "

……

Act Three:
The woman was dressed in red, sitting alone on the phoenix bed, and sang sadly:
"The Li family rebelled against the king and was greedy for beauty, and the petites offered the king's wife.

How can I be born with icy muscles and fine bones, cut water and autumn pupils, bright eyes and white teeth, and a waist like a string.

Unspeakable style, unspeakable beauty.

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

How can a filial daughter be willing to take it lightly with the enemy's family lying on the same bed?

Yingying's women seduce people's hearts, and the country's affairs are in ruins and the army is in decline. "

……

Epilogue:

The Yan army plundered the south bank of the Dijiang River, besieged on all sides.

Anti-Wang ascended the platform and said:
"Why don't my beloved concubine leave, it's hard for me to live tonight.

Knowing your hatred alone, I have been with you for more than ten years.

You can taste the grievances of your family and leave early.

Remarry the farmer, and grow old together. "

Wang Niang wiped away her tears and said:
"Looking westward at Chu Township, I saw this, a vast river blown by wind and water.

Out of sight, Wang Jiaerlang by the city of Surabaya.

I can't see it, but I dream about Nufulang.

It's not like going back, but drinking soup by the bridge.

We will meet again in the next life, and we will meet again at that time.

Then pillow mandarin duck embroidery. "

As she sang, tears of blood fell from the corners of the woman's eyes, "tick, tick~".

In the stands, the high rollers screamed in fright and ran away with their heads in their arms.

"The ice wheel in the deep palace turned for the first time, and saw the jade rabbit turn to the east again.

The ice wheel is away from the palace, and the universe is very clear.

When the bright moon is in the sky, it happens to be Chang'e Liyue Palace.

Infatuated men and women have many grievances and grievances, and the raging fire shines on Nangong. "

After the last line was sung, sparks burst out from the stands and the four corners of the singing stand, and the sparks turned into tongues of fire in an instant, rushing towards the big players in the stands.

"Ah~! Ghost, ghost!" The completely collapsed spectators ran outside desperately.

……

The theater backyard.

Team Leader She, who was full of joy, clapped his hands, and said to everyone who was removing makeup and packing props:

"Alright, alright, everyone has worked hard.

We sang four times in a row, everyone should go back early and rest.

The leading actors on stage tonight will each receive 100 silver dollars;

Opponents who join hands will receive 50 silver dollars each;

Each person from other departments in the backstage received 20 silver dollars. "

Everyone in the class was overjoyed when they heard the words:
"Okay, class master is very generous!"

"The head teacher is wise!"

"The head teacher is open!"

……

With a wave of his hand, class leader She gave away most of the four or five thousand silver dollars he earned tonight to the people in his class.

There's no other way, ever since Li Qingyuan's fame became popular, many troupes have poached him openly and secretly.

If the treatment is not better, maybe one day when I wake up, the "corner" I have raised with great difficulty will run away with others.

contract?

The contract was signed before becoming famous, so which famous theater troupe couldn't afford the liquidated damages?
Counting the time, She Zhun wondered:

"It's really strange, why hasn't Zhang Xiaowu come back yet?

Even if you leave, you should come back, right? "

Thinking about harvesting the moth's son, the distraught She Zhun pushed the door out to take a breather.

"Why haven't the lights in the front building gone out, huh?"

The sharp-eared She Zhun pricked up her ears, vaguely heard the singing from the stage, and said doubtfully:
"Why are people still singing?"

"Qingping Theater is not authentic. Could it be that I want to use my Li Qingyuan's name to promote a new troupe?"

As soon as She Zhun thought of this, she suddenly became angry and annoyed.

"Hey, everyone, stop and let go of what you're doing first.

The owner of the theatrical building wants to use our name to promote newcomers.

Listen, the front yard is still singing now.

I don't know if this will happen, do you agree? "

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, the theater troupe Li Qingyuan exploded immediately:

"What? And this."

"Isn't this too unreasonable?"

"No, absolutely no."

……

She Zhun pressed his hands, motioned for silence, and said:

"Since that's the case, how about we go and see this newcomer?
Be careful, don't be reckless, the owner behind Qingping Theater is not easy to mess with. "

Even though she was bullied, She Zhun didn't intend to break up with the owner of Qingping Theater.

Small people, small households, low-level actors, those who look up to you raise your hand and call you a role; those who look down on you call you a pariah, which is also reasonable.

Therefore, She Zhun just planned to take the people in the class to inquire about it, and by the way express dissatisfaction with the boss through this method.

Under the leadership of She Zhun, Li Qingyuan's group strode towards the front building of the Liyuan.
