Chapter 4 Who Says Actors Are Fierce
"It's not necessary." Li Jingxing pulled him to sit down, "It's like this anyway, even if you beat him up, his voice won't get better. In the Lige Troupe, he is the only one with the best singing skills. If he also falls down, the troupe I'm afraid I won't be able to make a living.
The troupe is full of brothers and sisters who have shared weal and woe, and I don't want to watch them go hungry.In the worst case, I will give up the position of troupe leader to Wang Yan. At least in this way, the troupe can continue to operate. "
"You are kind, no wonder you suffered so much." Qiu Jing said flatly.
"It's okay, don't I still have some money on me?" Li Jingxing said with a smile, "It's a big deal for me to start a small business, let's just muddle through."
"En." Qiu Jing took a sip of tea and said, "Do you want to go back to the troupe?"
"That's right." Li Jingxing nodded, but his words were somewhat bitter, "To hand over the class leader, I need to come forward in person. I'm afraid everyone won't accept Wang Yan's one-sided words."
"I'll see you off." Qiu Jing said.
"Don't bother, I can walk the rest of the way by myself." Li Jingxing got up, took out a few copper coins from his bag and put them on the table, "Thank you for your help, General Qiu, for today's matter. If the general has difficulties in the future, I can help you as well." If the general can help you, I will definitely help you."
Qiu Jing could tell that what Li Jingxing said was polite, as a second-rank official like him, he didn't need the help of ordinary people.However, in order not to hurt Li Jingxing's face, he still responded, "Yes."
Leaving Heyun Tea House, the smile on Li Jingxing's face disappeared instantly.Without this way of making money, Li Jingxing scolded the eighteen generations of Wang Yan's ancestors one by one.As he said, although he loves money, he will not ruin the future of the entire troupe for revenge.
Although these people are just appendages of this world to him.But growing up in an orphanage, he more or less sympathized with those who had similar experiences to him.Anyway, during these days of getting along, he also misappropriated a lot of money, so I will leave the Lige troupe to Wang Yan to play by himself.
Li Jingxing returned to the troupe and gathered everyone in the troupe.After announcing that he would give Wang Yan the position of class leader, Wang Yan burst into tears and cried so hard that he was heart-piercing.But the words were all about things like making a living in the theater troupe, and they didn't have any intention of keeping Li Jingxing back.
Now that the team leader has been replaced by Wang Yan, the others have to follow Wang Yan's words.If he gets in the way at this juncture, when Li Jing is gone, I'm afraid he will have to pack up and leave.
Everyone knew a thing or two about sending Li Jingxing to those rich people.Although everyone had strongly opposed it, but with Wang Yan's generous remuneration, everyone agreed with it tacitly.Taking one person's sacrifice can be exchanged for silver taels to fill one's stomach, no matter how you think about it, it is a steady profit.
Li Jingxing simply packed his luggage and left the troupe alone.From now on, he is no longer the leader and pillar of the Lige Opera Troupe, but an ordinary commoner who cannot be more ordinary.
As soon as he passed the corner of the street, Li Jingxing saw Qiu Jing leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
"Will you see me off?" Li Jing walked up to Qiu Jing and asked him with a smile.
"Where are you going?"
"The sky is big and the earth is big, the whole world is home, so it's up to you wherever you go." Li Jingxing replied.
"You can think about it." Qiu Jing looked at Li Jingxing with some worry in his eyes.Today's matter was restrained because of his presence, but if he was not by Li Jingxing's side in the future, wouldn't it be true that someone would...
"Why are you frowning? I should be the one who is frowning." Li Jingxing raised his hand and patted Qiu Jing's shoulder. "General Qiu, I have to go. Take care." My own burden is drifting away.
Qiu Jing realized later, and shouted at Li Jingxing's back: "Li Jingxing, take care!"
…………
In August, the autumn in the south is high and crisp, and it is the autumn harvest.
Qiu Jing defeated the enemy in the frontier and returned triumphantly.On the day when he returned to Huanyang City, Qiu Jing heard from Lin Ze that a new opera troupe had recently arrived.For Lin Ze, as long as it is singing, he likes it.And Li Jingxing's play is just one of his daily pastimes, it is not irreplaceable.
After Li Jingxing left the theater troupe, he fell in love with other people's operas again.Qiu Jing also went to listen to a song with Lin Ze, but there was still a babbling sound on the stage, and he couldn't figure out why.
Lin Ze didn't laugh at Qiu Jing for his lack of interest.After all, for Qiu Jing to accompany him to the theater, it was considered a favor for him.After listening to half of the music patiently, Qiu Jing said to Lin Ze and left.
When he came out of the theater, the babbling voices still seemed to be echoing in his ears.After leaving the theater, he went to Heyun Tea Shop, and he didn't know where to go in Huanyang City, so he had to go there for a while.
On the way to Heyun Tea Shop, he saw a seller of candied haws beside the stall.He paused, and bought a bunch by accident.Sitting in the Heyun Tea House, he unwrapped the glutinous rice paper from the candied haws and took a bite of a candied haws. It tasted sour and sweet, and it was not bad.
He still remembered that when Li Jingxing was in Huanyang City, he also gave him a bunch, but at that time he felt that eating candied haws was too childish, so he didn't eat it.Later, all the bunches of candied haws went into Li Jingxing's stomach.
Thinking of this, the corners of Qiu Jing's lips raised a slight arc unconsciously.
However, he was afraid that he would never see Li Jingxing again?Although this Li Jingxing said that he was a bit fond of money, he was not like that.On the contrary, he was always sold out and returned the money.
He also asked Lin Ze to find out what happened to the Lige troupe.After Wang Yan took over the theatrical troupe, the troupe changed completely. All the good-looking women were tricked by Wang Yan to go to Hualou, and the remaining good-looking men were forced to give face to the rich.The remaining ugly ones are thrown away to fend for themselves.
And Wang Yan became a rich man by selling the money from those people.It's said that he even got a big financial backer by relying on his appearance.
After hearing these things, Qiu Jing felt unwilling to Li Jingxing. If Li Jingxing was around, the troupe would definitely not end up like this.But thinking of those people who chose to sacrifice Li Jingxing alone for their own sake, he felt that this was retribution.
"Hey, General Qiu? Don't come here without any problems~"
Qiu Jing's thoughts were pulled back by a familiar voice, he suddenly raised his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw Li Jingxing in a brocade robe with indigo crane patterns walking towards him slowly.
I haven't seen it for a year, but it seems like the next day.
Li Jingxing still had that smiling appearance, his light-colored eyes clearly reflected his figure.Li Jingxing took a seat opposite Qiu Jing, propped his chin with both hands, and said with a smile, "General Qiu, do you miss me after a year?"
"I don't want to." Qiu Jing said immediately.
Li Jingxing didn't believe it: "The answer is so fast, but General Qiu is guilty?"
"Not at all." Qiu Jing avoided Li Jingxing's gaze, picked up tea to cover up the smile on his lips.
"Then General Qiu, are the candied haws delicious?"
"Delicious." Qiu Jing subconsciously replied.After realizing some gaffes, he hurriedly changed his words, "Actually, it's just like that, and the taste is average."
"Then how about I treat the general to some delicious food?" Li Jingxing said with a smile, "I opened a small pastry shop, and the business is pretty good. It would be great if it suits your taste."
Qiu Jing thought for a while, then said: "Then try it."
After leaving Heyun Tea House with Li Jingxing, Qiu Jing felt a little unreal in front of him.Li Jingxing brought Qiu Jing to a pastry shop on Chengdong Street, Yunjing Pastry.
At this time, the outside of the store was surrounded by people who came to buy pastries.Qiu Jing was a little surprised. How delicious are the pastries here to attract so many people to buy them?
Thinking of this, he also became interested in the pastry that Li Jingxing mentioned.For a person like him who stays on the battlefield all year round to kill the enemy, there are only two kinds of food: edible and inedible.But in his spare time, he will also learn to savor carefully like Lin Ze, although he can't tell the difference between delicious food and bad food.
Li Jingxing led Qiu Jing in through the small door in the backyard, and led him into a small room.There are all kinds of exquisite pastries on the table, not to mention their taste, just looking at the color matching of the pastries is very comforting.
"Come and sit." Li Jingxing pushed Qiu Jing's back to let him sit down, and purposely took an extra wooden stool beside him so that he could use it to put his sword.Li Jingxing made him a cup of tea, and then poured himself a cup.
"General Qiu, let's use tea instead of wine to reminisce about the past." Li Jingxing touched the cup in Qiu Jing's hand while holding the teacup, and then he did it with his head up.
"It seems you're doing well." Qiu Jing took a sip of tea, but didn't mention anything about the Lige troupe.Bringing up these irrelevant things at this time will inevitably spoil the atmosphere.
"It's all auspicious words for the general, so my small shop can open smoothly." Li Jingxing said with a smile, "I planned to go to the capital after parting with the general. But thinking that the general is here, the general will be in trouble in the future. If you need my help, the far water can't save the near fire, so after careful consideration, I decided to stay here."
"Really." Qiu Jing didn't dampen his interest. Although he didn't know why, he became more and more excited when he learned that Li Jingxing was staying in Huanyang City.Even if he defeated the enemy army and received a generous reward from the emperor, he had never felt like this before.
But now, it's for this person in front of him, a man.
"What happened to General Qiu?" Li Jingxing asked.
Qiu Jing shook his head, "It's nothing." After saying that, he picked up the pastry and took a bite.
When it was getting late, Qiu Jing came out from Li Jingxing's place, holding two packs of pastries that Li Jingxing had given him in his hand.Qiu Jing didn't refuse, and carefully carried the cakes towards his house.
After watching Qiu Jing leave, Li Jingxing couldn't hide the smile on his face.According to his plan, as long as Qiu Jing brings the cakes to Shizi to taste, Shizi will definitely like it, so Yunjing Pastry will be famous in Huanyang City.
Those dignitaries who want to curry favor with the prince will also buy pastries for the prince.At that time, he will naturally increase the price of pastries, and the money will go into his pocket, isn't it a matter of time?
The author has something to say:
Qiu Jing: The cakes given by Jing Xing should be hidden and not eaten by others
Lin Ze: EXM?Meow meow meow?
