Yangzhou City, East Sixth Lane. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Closing the door carefully, Xin Laowu, the head of the troupe, sighed, this world is not peaceful anywhere, and it is not easy to settle down, and now it is not peaceful. Xin Lao Wu coughed a few times, turned around and saw the apprentices who were sorting out the costumes and knives and sticks, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be busy, you can't play these days, clean up, don't get drenched in the snow." ”

Several apprentices raised their heads and looked at their master blankly.

"Alas......"

As the head of the Hui Opera team, Xin Lao Wu finally got the performance permit approved by the Yangzhou government in the past two days, but he didn't expect Yangzhou City to be under martial law today, which was really unlucky.

This performance permit is a unique proof in the Jiangbei area, and there is no other one in the world, especially in Yangzhou Prefecture, where the performance permit is a necessary proof for the performance of the opera. Because the Jiangbei region conducts detailed statistics on the people who come and go to Jiangbei, especially the Yangzhou Prefecture, the core of the Jiangbei region, the inventory of people who come and go to Yangzhou City can be said to be strict.

Among them, Yangzhou has the most two kinds of people, respectively, the businessman and the drama troupe, the Jiangbei region is much safer than the province under the notice of the national revolution or the Manchu government, and Yangzhou is the place where the salt merchants gather in the world, the business atmosphere is strong, and there are not a few people worth a million among the people, and there are businessmen from all over the country to settle down in Yangzhou, so that the population of Yangzhou Mansion has reached 500,000 in just a few years, and it has become another city with a population of more than 500,000 after Beijing, Jinmen, Shanghi, Nanjing and Chengdu.

The more people there are, the more businessmen love to get together, and the more people there are, there will naturally be rules, and businessmen like to talk about rules the most, which is why often rich places get richer, and poor places get poorer. There are more businessmen, the mobility of personnel is large, and the composition is complex, and the inventory of local businessmen is more strict. However, for businessmen, as long as they have enough proof of funds, plus a friend's introduction and guarantee, in the eyes of Yangzhou officials who support business development, they will turn a blind eye and pass.

But for the Hui opera team like Xin Laowu's Xin family class, the requirements of Yangzhou Government are relatively strict.

Since ancient times, Yangzhou has been the holy land of wind and snow, and now there is a revolution all over the country, and it is rare that no one in Jiangbei is peaceful, and Yangzhou is the core of Jiangbei, and the Qinglou Song Workshop is indispensable, and naturally the opera team of Xinjiaban is indispensable to set off the singing and dancing. The Qinglou Song Workshop is an excellent place to hide dirt and dirt, Yangzhou Government will implement a strict management system for the Song Fang Qinglou inside and outside the city, what should be a physical examination every six months, check whether the staff is dirty, what must not be simply a skin and meat business, must be matched with the corresponding song and dance performances.

So in order to meet the requirements of Yangzhou Mansion, the Qinglou Song Workshop had to pull in the troupe to help support the stage, and it was at this time that the Xin family class was invited to Yangzhou Mansion to sing for a relatively large restaurant. And because there are too few singing teams, the Xin family class suddenly became a hot bait and was scrambled by several families.

Later, people from the government came to check and fined the money, and the people in the Xin family class knew that they needed a performance permit to sing in Yangzhou Mansion, so they had to go to the government to report and register. If you want to get a performance permit, in addition to examining your personal identity and experience, you should also test your personal skills to teach and teach, so as not to make up for it.

Fortunately, everyone in the Xin family class has skills, there are no idle people and other fake among them, although Xin Lao Wu can't sing with a dumb voice, but the hard skills of a martial artist still get full applause, Xin Lao Wu's several apprentices have followed the master to learn art for many years, whether it is singing and doing or black and white faces, all the staff of the Xin family class have obtained performance permits, and after receiving a deposit from a few teahouses Fengyue Lou, Xin Lao Wu originally planned to perform in Yangzhou for a few years and live a good life.

"Alas...... Pack up. Xin Lao Wu shook his head and said, he didn't know if his wish could come true.

"Master, can we still accept the money from Liyue Tower?" The eldest apprentice Ji Baiming hurriedly asked, among the apprentices, Ji Baiming is the oldest and has followed the master for the longest time, but his talent is the worst. Xin Lao Wu intends to marry his only daughter to the eldest apprentice, so that Ji Baiming can inherit the Xin family class in the future, and Ji Baiming has liked his little junior sister since he was a child, and has long regarded the Xin family class as his own property and the little junior sister as his future daughter-in-law, so he is naturally loyal to his master Xin Lao Wu. Speaking of which, although there are only a dozen people in the Xin family class, they are still very famous in southern Anhui, but there are many bandits in southern Anhui, especially after the high heavenly king came, he fought all day long, and the Xin family class had to flee to Jiangbei to live.

"The money doesn't have to be returned, and martial law outside is not our responsibility, the next time I see Boss Li of Liyue Building, tell him that we will give him one more show and only apologize." Xin Lao Wu took a puff of dry cigarettes, shook his head and said: "In these years, the troupe is not suitable to live, and he Boss Li is not a person who kills everything, and the cooperation will last in the future." ”

The third apprentice, Guo Baishun, was the most lively, climbed down from the wall, and said with a grin: "Master, senior brother, do you say that Yangzhou is going to war?" ”

"How happy are you to fight in Yangzhou?" Ji Baiming said angrily, "You still have to think about how you can sing your play well." ”

Guo Baishun was unconvinced and said: "I can't sing well in my life, so I am a martial artist, how popular is my "Three Forks" with my seventh junior brother?" ”

"Humph!" Xin Lao Wu criticized, "You are you, Lao Qi is Lao Qi, do you think that if you are unwilling to practice singing more, Lao Qi is the same as you?" Lao Qi's achievements in the future will definitely be stronger than yours, at least people can sing "Mu Guiying" in addition to "Three Forks", what about you? If you can sing, I'll let you play Mu Guiying. ”

Guo Baishun grinned and said: "I can sing, but I don't look like it, where I look like Lao Qi, where is the skin and tender flesh like Lao Qi, I look like a girl, and I, at first glance, it's a time change - it's up to you to decide what this person looks like, Master, it's all because of my ruthless father, they don't look good, so I don't look good." Xin Lao Wu and Ji Baiming couldn't laugh or cry when they heard Guo Baishun's explanation, this child is also a hard life, his family was poor when he was a child, and he was abandoned by his parents, but fortunately he met Xin Lao Wu Ji Baiming's master and apprentice.

As he was talking, the second senior brother Zhou Baitong jumped over the wall and said excitedly: "The sky has changed, the sky has changed!" ”

"What's wrong, dick?" Ji Baiming asked hurriedly.

Zhou Baidao: "The new army has disarmed the patrol battalion, and I saw that all the new troops have begun to cut their braids, all of them have cut their braids, and they are piled up together to burn their braids." ”

"Huh?" The brothers were dumbfounded, and the cigarette pouch and pot in Xin Lao Wu's mouth also fell to the ground, he quickly picked it up, knocked it on the sole of his shoe, and asked, "What did you see with your own eyes?" ”

"Master, don't you believe me? My light body kung fu ......"

"Alright." Xin Lao Wu is obviously in a bad mood, the Qing Kingdom is going to end, Jiangbei is about to change, what should I do with my own drama team, what will I do with my future life, and what will I do without the emperor......
