Chapter 515 Talented Seed

"Have you ever heard of shadow puppetry?"

"Shadow play? What is that? Is it fun?" Zhao Ranran was curious and confused.

"Well, shadow puppetry is also called shadow play. It is a silhouette of a character made of animal skin or cardboard to show the Xing family who performs the story."

"There are special entertainers manipulating the filmmakers behind the white curtain, telling stories with interesting tunes, and adding music to entertain people." Bai Jinli explained.

"It sounds a bit like the opera outside, but it's different. It sounds interesting." Zhao Ranran thought about the scene and couldn't help but speak.

"The cooperation I want to talk to you about is related to shadow puppetry."

According to historical records, shadow puppetry began in the Western Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. However, Daqi State was an empty dynasty, so there was no shadow puppetry at all.

Not to mention Daqi, even foreign countries have no news about shadow puppetry.

It was also because of this that Bai Jinli was able to think about doing the shadow play business so confidently and boldly.

"Cousin, tell me, how do you cooperate? What can I do?" Zhao Ranran asked her.

"Ran Ran, what do you think will happen if you use shadow puppets to perform Journey to the West and Dream of Red Mansions?"

"Journey to the West and Dream of Red Mansions are highly discussed among people in the capital now. If they can see other novel forms of presentation besides reading the stories in the storybook, they will definitely attract a lot of people!"

"However, I have never seen what a shadow puppet show looks like. I don't know how to do it. And how do shadow puppets work? How to act? These seem to be very important."

Hearing Zhao Ranran mention this, Bai Jinli glanced at her with some relief, and continued: "I have information on these, and I also know a little about the production of shadow puppets."

"It's just that the production of shadow puppets needs people, and the performance of shadow puppets also needs people. There are also the consumption in this process, the later publicity, etc. It is very complicated to think about it, so I especially need your help."

"No problem, I have money, and I'll invest for you. As for people, I'll help you find them!" Zhao Ranran said with great interest.

Compared with Bai Jinli and Shen Guan, she felt that she was really a fool who knew nothing.

Now that Bai Jinli took the initiative to give her the opportunity to express herself, how could she not seize it?
"How is your brother doing?"

"Ah? You said that Zhao Luomu, he made an old mistake again, and slipped out of the house while my father wasn't paying attention. Who knows where he went to fool around. Cousin, what do you ask him for?"

"Didn't your parents keep talking about ending the curtain and not doing business? I want to entrust you to do this with him." Bai Jinli said.

The reason why she said that was also after thinking and consideration.

This matter is highly maneuverable and easy to use. If Zhao Luomu and Zhao Ranran can do it, they will also feel a sense of self-satisfaction once they do it.

Zhao Luomu is righteous and not bad in his bones, but he has been beaten by preaching and grew up, without any confidence, and is in a rebellious period. If he can do this well and get praised, then maybe he can grow up too.

Anyway, she couldn't be too busy herself, so she had to find someone to help, so she might as well leave it to Zhao Ranran and Zhao Luomu.

"What? Let him do this with me? Cousin, are you sure? Just me?" Zhao Ranran couldn't help but exclaimed.

This cousin is also big-hearted!

Are you so relieved that she and Zhao Luomu are two people?

She is very clear about her own virtues, and she has no experience, but if she puts her heart into it, she should be able to do well with the guidance of others.

As for Zhao Luomu, well...

Thinking about it carefully, her younger brother was smart since he was a child, if he is really willing to put his heart into it, he should be able to do it well, right?

It's just that Zhao Luomu has been wasting time for so many years. He is idle every day and has never done a serious thing. Is it appropriate for her to partner with Zhao Luomu to do such an important thing?

It's not that she doesn't have confidence, it's that they...

cough.

"Well, sure. Ranran, Shen Guan and I have always been very optimistic about you, and think you are a talented seed."

"As for your brother Zhao Luomu, he's just rebellious and hasn't found a direction to work hard. I think it's okay to entrust this matter to you." Bai Jinli encouraged.

"What do you mean by gifted seeds?"

"It means that you belong to the kind of person who will become a blockbuster if you don't make a show. Although you don't make a move on weekdays, as long as you make a move and put your heart into it, things will definitely be done well, and you will have great luck in the future."

"Really...really?" Zhao Ranran was flattered by the praise, and her tone was full of disbelief.

So in the eyes of my cousin and Shen Guan, has she always been so outstanding?

Suddenly, she felt that she was inexplicably excited, tall, full of strength and hard work, what's the matter?

"Of course it's true, why should I lie to you?"

"Hey, cousin, I feel so good to know you, you are really a lucky star in my life."

"Did you know? You are the first person to praise me like that." Zhao Ranran couldn't help holding Bai Jinli's hand and said embarrassingly.

"It's just that I have better eyesight." Bai Jinli smiled lightly and continued.

"Ran Ran, you have to believe in yourself. Look at you now, you are tall, beautiful and temperamental, and you will invest and make money. In the future, you will have a happy future."

"Yeah!" Zhao Ranran nodded excitedly.

She has suffered from low self-esteem for so many years because of being fat, and also blamed herself for a long time because of Liuzhou's incident.

Fortunately, she has always been accompanied by her cousin. She has come out completely now, and there is a huge difference from before.

In the future, she will definitely work hard, have great fortune, and be happy as her cousin said.
Zhao Ranran forced herself to calm down and said to the people outside: "Come here, go and find out where Zhao Luomu has gone?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Forget it, wait. Cousin, why don't we go directly to Zhao Luomu's yard and ask his servant?"

Seeing the maid in her yard walking out, Zhao Ranran couldn't help but make her stop.

According to her understanding of Zhao Luomu, Zhao Luomu's way of sneaking away can be described as strange and strange, with various excuses and methods.

The only one who is close to him in the whole family is the boy named Mu Mu in his yard.

It is a bit embarrassing for others to inquire about Zhao Luomu's whereabouts.

If you inquire in the mansion, you will definitely not be able to find out anything. Many times Zhao Luomu sneaked out and came back, and no one in the mansion knew.

If people go outside to inquire, they will have to wait for a long, long time.

With this waiting time, she might as well take her cousin and go directly to Zhao Luomu's yard to inquire.

"Okay, just to visit your yard." Bai Jinli got up.

The yard where Zhao Luomu lived was not too far from Zhao Ranran's yard, but it still took a lot of time to walk.

And the two people's yards look very different.

The courtyard where Zhao Ranran lived was obviously in a good environment, with a large area, and elegant and comfortable decorations. There were flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the colors were soft and warm.

When I came to Zhao Luomu's yard, I found that his yard gave people a cold feeling.

The yard is not as big as Zhao Ranran's. The gate of the hall is gray and black marble, with bamboo planted beside it.

The decoration is very simple, and the structure of the entire courtyard is also very clear at a glance. The study is a study, and the bedroom is a bedroom. Even the frame of the entire courtyard seems to be somewhat silent.

The Zhao family really dote on their daughter and be strict with their son.

Zhao Ranran led the way. She took Bai Jinli to Zhao Luomu's study very easily, and pushed the door of the study open and walked in. Bai Jinli followed closely behind.

"Miss, why are you here?"

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, a young servant ran out from nowhere and followed behind them, bowing his head respectfully to greet them.

"Well, I'm here to find Zhao Luomu. Tsk, did you change to a new style today?"

Seeing the clothed dummy in front of the desk in the study room in the back room staring down at the shape of the book on the desk, Zhao Ranran couldn't help but click her tongue.

It seems that because he heard someone talking, the starling in the birdcage hanging next to him began to memorize the Analects of Confucius, as if he had been opened up to Ren Du's two veins.

The speed was not slow and the tone was clear, which really shocked Bai Jinli.

This starling is so clever that he can recite so many sentences in one breath.

It seems that although Zhao Luomu likes to walk the birds for fun, he still has some things to do in raising starlings.

And that dummy, tsk tsk, it really looks like that.

If you look through the window from the outside of the house, you will only find that the person sitting at the desk in the house seems to be working hard.

It's okay, it's very good!

After hearing Zhao Ranran's voice, the boy named Mu Mu suddenly frowned and spoke in embarrassment.

"Miss, this...it's not a small matter, it's the young master...you don't even know about it."

"You are the person next to Zhao Luomu. How can you not know what he does?" Zhao Ranran asked back.

"Miss Mingjian, the little one really doesn't know. You also know that the young master is very clever. When he goes out on weekdays, he doesn't let the little one follow him. Even if the little one wants to follow, he can't keep up."

Well, it seems that Zhao Luomu, a dude, also has a lot of experience and ideas on the road of running away. This can be regarded as an advantage, write it down.

"How did that dummy come about?" Bai Jinli asked, pointing at the dummy in front of the desk.

"The young master did that by himself. Before the young master asked the young one to help, the young one went to help. But the young master later despised the young one's clumsiness and refused to let the young one intervene."

Bai Jinli approached and looked at the sitting posture and size of the dummy, then at the lamp beside the table, and continued pointing to the lamp and asking.

"This lamp, did Zhao Luomu tell you to turn it on in the afternoon?"

"How do you know?" Hearing Bai Jinli's question, the boy raised his head to look at Bai Jinli in surprise, then quickly lowered his head.

"Guess."

Seeing the boy's appearance, Bai Jinli put another label on Zhao Luomu, who was a bit clever and paid more attention to small details.
