Republic of China small businessman

"White Ape Offers Longevity" became an instant hit!

First, he sang in Baifu for three consecutive days, and then he was invited by several other companies to go to the church. Because there were too many people, he finally booked a venue in the Qinghe County Theater and sang nine consecutive performances.

At the tenth round, Shang Yulou quit.

Xie Jing got the news and went to the theater. Boss Shang, who claimed that "the throat is broken and needs to rest for two days", is sitting in the dressing room with a cold face. I dare not say a word.

Xie Jing went over to say hello to him: "Boss Shang's throat is not good. I brought some autumn pear paste to nourish the lungs. I specially added some mangosteen fruit in it. Try it. If it works, I'll take it."

Shang Yulou sat there fanning the wind with a cardboard, and said with a sneer, "I'm sorry."

Xie Jing heard something in his words, so she just stood there and waited for him to speak.

There was a wink in Yucheng's class, who drove away a group of boys around him, and closed the door behind him when he went out.The fact that their boss can scold others doesn't mean they can listen here, let alone people from the White House!

Shang Yulou was in a fit of anger, and deliberately left Xie Jing alone for a while. After all, he was still thinking about the other party's good looks, so he raised his head and opened his mouth first: "I said, thank you, steward—"

"Just call me Xiaoxie."

"Okay, Xiao Xie," Shang Yulou took a deep breath, expressing all his dissatisfaction in one breath, "I cooperated with you in everything at the beginning, and followed your house, but you can't mess around, right! This scene begins That’s not what you told me before, good guy, you didn’t say hello when you came up, and you were throwing brocades and ‘Golden Monkey Offering Rui’. This is a dedication, what if it’s not? But the signboard of our Yucheng Club! I know this matter has nothing to do with you, you are just a messenger, and I am not angry at you, you call that person out, and I will distinguish him clearly!"

Xie Jing didn't understand: "Who?"

Shang Yulou slapped the cardboard on the table, turned his head and sneered and scolded: "I know there is an expert behind me, and that person is ruthless enough to attack. He dared to invite me from the provincial government all the way, just to let me To match a bunch of monkeys he raised?!"

Xie Jing touched the tip of his nose, he really couldn't hand it over to anyone.

He stood there deliberating his words, and tentatively said, "Boss Shang is worrying too much, in fact, there is really no superior person."

Shang Yulou is not such a soft-tempered person, that's all. When it comes to no one is more stubborn than him in the play, he immediately said without waiting for Xie Jing to say: "You don't want to talk politely to me here, I will fight you." I've asked, you don't understand drama, if you let the one behind you who understands come over, I'd like to ask him what his intentions are!"

Xie Jing: "Their former class leader died. I thought of the 'Golden Monkey Offering Rui' part. I asked a friend to help guide the movements. It took a month to finish. If you don't believe me, I can bring him to you Ask."

Shang Yulou was taken aback, looked at him for a long time, and dared not say anything: "You arranged?"

Xie Jing nodded: "I used to suffer for two years, begging for food everywhere, but it's just some bridge juggling methods added to the monkey show. It's the first time I used everyone to look at it. It's neither fish nor fowl, so Boss Shang made you laugh."

When he said this, Shang Yulou believed it a little bit. Although new-style dramas are popular nowadays, there is really no such combination with Peking Opera, as if it was done by a layman.But even so, Shang Yulou was not happy: "Then you never thought about it, what if you mess up?"

Xie Jing said with a smile: "That day was the Bai family hall meeting, and it was also a birthday banquet. Wouldn't it be said that those children were raised by the second young master? Even if they weren't, the Bai family still has a little bit of face in Qinghe, and no one will spread the word."

Shang Yulou took a cup of tea and took a lid to block the tea leaves, snorted coldly: "Yes, these boys are lucky, if something happens, someone will take care of it, I can't afford it."

Xie Jing shook her head: "Boss Shang, I am not here to apologize to you this time, but to give you away."

"Who?"

"The eleven children who sang "White Ape Offers Longevity" are all for you."

"Are you kidding me, aren't they raised by the second young master in the mansion?"

"The second young master has only been raised for a month. I haven't had time to tell you about the previous incident."

Xie Jing told Shang Yulou about the fire in the ruined temple, and when the lecture was over, Ban Master Cheng rectified the Fa on the spot, and the Bai family temporarily took in those children, Shang Yulou's expression became serious.

Xie Jing said: "This is a big case in Qinghe. If Boss Shang doesn't believe it, he can go out and ask someone casually. I dare not tell you a single word of lies. Ninth Master and Second Young Master are kind-hearted, but they only practice opera when they are young. That's all I can do, I can only help them as much as possible, that's why I made such a fuss on your stage." Xie Jing saluted him, bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Boss Shang, I was the one before Living."

Shang Yulou was a little bit regretful just now, but he was happy to hear Xie Jing say this: "You have been staring at me from the beginning, why are you trying to make me match them?"

Xie Jing said: "These children are young, if you don't accept them here, I will always make another plan for them."

Even if Shangyulou doesn't accept it, with the help of this golden monkey gift, this group of children can gain the fame of Shangyulou and the good luck of the Bai family, and they can make a way out in the future.

Putting it out like this, Shang Yulou didn't get angry anymore.

Boss Shang sighed: "No one is born with a good life. Everyone has never suffered. Since you are so upright, then I also apologize to you. I didn't know they had such encounters in the past."

Xie Jing stood there waiting for him to reply.

Shang Yulou said: "May I ask if this is the meaning of the ninth master or the second young master?"

Xie Jing said: "Master Jiu asked me to help them find a good place."

Shang Yulou pondered for a moment, put down his teacup and said, "Forget it, since Master Jiu promoted me, then I will make an exception and accept them, but the Yucheng class is not a place to enjoy happiness. I have two requests. It has nothing to do with the Bai family, so I can teach you with confidence, and second, I want you to promise me one thing."

Xie Jing said: "Boss Shang, it's okay to say, if it's within my ability, I will relieve your worries."

Shang Yulou was jealous of his voice and figure for a long time, but he was afraid of scaring people away, so he hesitated and refused to say it clearly, but said: "I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, if you write it down first, I will definitely not say it." Just let you do something excessive, and it has nothing to do with the Bai family, it's just our private friendship."

Xie Jing thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Shang Yulou is a generous person, so he immediately asked someone to take a pen and paper to write a deed, and wrote a letter, "Volunteer to study in Yucheng Society, after seven years, the money earned during the period will be collected by the master." Yunyun, Shang Yulou wrote Okay, handed it to Xie Jing, and said: "These kids have already laid the foundation, but it is not yet solid, and their 'Golden Monkey Offers Lucky' is indeed a bit of a lottery, so three years have been reduced. It’s only counted as seven years, if you think it’s worth it, let them come and sign it.”

Xie Jing thanked him, and called the children over to press their fingerprints.

The children are still young, knowing that they will learn from a famous master in the future, their eyes are full of light and hope.

Xie Jing waited for them all to press their fingerprints, and said to them: "Go, from today on, follow Master Shang, learn well, and don't slack off."

Xiao Tang stood at the front, and he took the lead to kowtow to Xie Jing, and the rest of the children followed suit, and ran away without waiting for Xie Jing to react.Manager Xie didn’t let them kowtow, at most they only bowed, but they felt it wasn’t enough—there was a rush of blood in their chests, it was the joy of finding a way to survive. They were grateful to Manager Xie, but now they had nothing to offer but Only in this way can it be expressed in case.

Shang Yulou smiled and said: "These little monkeys are sensible and considerate."

Xie Jing also laughed, turned to him and said, "Boss Shang, does he know that they also have a nickname in the White Mansion?"

"Oh, what's it called?"

"Five little blessings, six and six successes." Xie Jing compiled it for him solemnly, "Because the 11 of them turned bad luck into good luck, and many good things happened to those who came into contact with the White House, especially the "White Ape" two days ago. Presenting Longevity", presumably Boss Shang has also seen it."

Shang Yulou's eyes really lit up.

Xie Jing said in her heart, calm down.

Shang Yulou, a famous actor in the provincial government, has two hobbies in his life.

One is to be surprisingly stingy, and the other is to seek good luck.

It's not that kind of belief, but I like to observe incense candles and candle flowers, or copy blessing papers, and I also raise feng shui fish in the troupe. — It is a must to go, after all, the purpose of going out to pick up jobs is to make money.

Leaving Shang Yulou alone in the theater to ponder the good fortune of "Five Little Fortunes" and "Liu Liushun", Xie Jing returned to the East Courtyard.

East Court.

Huang Mingyou was holding the little stone tiger and was talking to Master Jiu, when he saw Xie Jing coming in, he hurriedly beckoned him to come: "Xiao Xie came just in time, come, come, I finally found the source of this stone tiger these two days! Look at this Does it look like a star?"

Xie Jing reached out to take it, put it on the palm of his hand and looked at the pattern Huang Mingyou was pointing at. The stone tiger was a bit rough. If Mr. Huang hadn't pointed it out, he would have thought it was the wear and tear in Little Buddha, "Sir, what is this?"

"In my opinion, this is a star map, or maybe half of it. The stone tiger should be paired with the other one to see the whole picture." Huang Mingyou tapped the little stone tiger in his palm, and took the pattern on its back. The imprint was likened to a star, and it was read a few times, but Xie Jing didn't understand it, and looked at a loss.

Bai Rongjiu opened his mouth and explained: "Mr. is talking about the western stars, and the azimuth refers to Rongcheng."

Xie Jing: "Rongcheng?"

Huang Mingyou laughed: "Yes, it is Rongcheng! I said that this stone tiger looks familiar, so it is it!" He stroked the long and thin beard on his lips, and read: "Stone dragon to stone tiger, gold and silver are ten thousand dollars!" Wan Wu, whoever can see through, buy Rongcheng Mansion."

Xie Jing didn't understand: "Sir, this is?"

"It's the 'Looking for Silver'."

Huang Mingyou was satisfied, as if he had solved a mystery, and said with a smile: "It's normal if you don't know it. This is a nursery rhyme that has been passed down for hundreds of years in Pengshan. It is about Zhang Xianzhong and Shen Yin. This person led troops to break into the The land of Shu robbed countless treasures. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in a fierce battle at the mouth of the Pengshan River. He fled back to Rongcheng Mansion with some officers and soldiers, but the ship full of gold and silver sank in the river due to the chaos of the war. Some people said that he wanted to sink treasure and cast the gold and silver of the Shu Mansion. The cake is hidden in the belly of the river. If someone can solve the mystery of the stone dragon and stone tiger, they can get the treasure. If it weren’t for the part sung at the birthday banquet, I couldn’t remember it. Coincidentally, it happened to be Xi Chuan who sang that day. Back then Zhang Xianzhong changed Rongcheng to Xijing, it was God's will..."

Xie Jing looked at the ugly little stone tiger in her palm, and didn't quite believe it: "Sir, are you saying that the star map on it is the treasure map?"

This treasure map is also too simple and unconvincing.

Huang Mingyou said: "There are treasures in the Minjiang River. It is true. The "Pengshan County Chronicle" records that 'in the 59th year of Qianlong's reign, the local officials played a performance, and the fishermen got a scabbard'. That's too much, there are so many folk treasure maps, and there are still no traces of people who can find them!"

He sat down and drank a cup of tea, feeling extremely at ease. Seeing that Xie Jing was still looking at the stone tiger, he persuaded him a few words: "Xiao Xie, don't be like those people, looking for some precious treasures, I'll tell you Said, the Minjiang River has high winds and strong waves, and the water is deep. Unless you ask the heavenly soldiers to cut off the river flow and hollow out the river silt, you can find it. The Minjiang River is so long, and the silt in the river channel has been thick for more than 200 years? We don’t want to do that. What a fool."

Xie Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I won't go."

He was satisfied by staying with Master Jiu, no matter how much money he had, he couldn't buy these things.

Lord Jiu beckoned Xie Jing to come over, and asked, "Jing'er, is there anyone else in your family in Rongcheng? Maybe it was passed down to you by the elders of the clan, I don't know."

Xie Jing thought for a moment, then shook her head hesitantly: "I don't know, grandma never told me."

Master Jiu: "Do you want to look for it?"

Xie Jing shook her head.

Grandma Kou said that he has no relatives anymore, since no one cares about him, it is meaningless to search for the past.

Master Jiu withdrew a string of red blood coral beads from his hand, put them on his hand, raised his hand and rubbed Xie Jing's head: "Take it and play with it, those children's affairs are handled well, and I will reward you."

Xie Jing's wrist was thin, and after three or four wraps, there was still a loose part. Huang Mingyou, who was beside him, was greedy, and asked, "Xiao Xie, is it too big for you? Let me change it for you. Take off a few of them, which are just right for you to wear." !"

Xie Jing covered it with her hand, pushed it up and hid it in her cuff, without showing Mr. Huang, and ran out to make tea.

Mr. Huang stood there with his hips akimbo and yelled: "You little money fanatic, I don't want much, I just take you one or two coral beads...Xiao Xie, you are going to hunt for treasure in the Minjiang River, the star on the back of your stone tiger Do you want me to look at the picture for you?"

Xie Jingquan pretended not to hear, and ran even faster.

The coral bracelets on her wrists collided and shattered, and Xie Jing's mood also improved, her eyes slightly bent.

Forget about the ones in the Minjiang River, he has a small box, and the "treasures" in it are almost full - those are all given to him by Lord Jiu on weekdays, not to mention the star map, which is worthless.
