The two went downstairs, and Ma Zili was about to come up.

"Are you leaving?" Ma Zili smiled and said, "You two will come often in the future." ”

Song Ning said: "Don't go, I'm curious about what the backstage looks like." ”

"There's just a kid with a monkey's face, and his eyes are very interesting, I have to take a look." Song Ning said with a smile.

"Cheng, Cheng!" Ma Zili bowed down and made a gesture of please, "There is a corner of the play at noon, and I will be putting on makeup backstage at this time." ”

"It's just a bit messy, the children are fighting, and the two adults don't have to dislike it."

Song Ning waved his hand: "No." This is the first time I've been backstage, and it's been an eye-opener for me. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Ma Zili flattered, led the two of them back, lifted a curtain and revealed a huge room full of people and things.

It's hard to describe this room.

Because it's really big, but it's crowded.

There is a long table vertically, there are many small square mirrors on the table, paints and brushes are piled on the table, the horns paint themselves, the children and apprentices paint each other, and there are special makeup masters who are running at both ends to paint the horns.

The painted apprentices are waiting on the side of the stage, and you are pushing me and waiting for me.

Leaning on the innermost and rightmost sides are two large rows of hangers full of all kinds of clothes.

On the other side were a number of boxes, stacked and open, looking disorganized, but they seemed to be arranged according to a certain pattern.

Another one, walking to the back, there are many phoenix crowns, long beards and other props hanging in the corner of the wall, and there are also a few fired clay figures of human height, wearing clothes and leaning against the corner of the wall wearing these outfits and costumes.

Song Ning glanced at this and stepped into the door.

There was an instant silence in the room.

Everyone looked at them. Strangers don't often come backstage, so two of them suddenly came, and they were two young people with extraordinary bearing, which attracted their attention.

"Hello everyone." Song Ning smiled slightly, "Let's listen to the play and visit your backstage by the way." ”

"You guys keep busy, let's take a walk."

The children saluted them, and even the corners, who were sitting and putting on their makeup, got up.

"Yuan Tian, everyone calls him Xiao Liuhong." Ma Zili introduced Song Ning, "He is currently the pillar of our family class. ”

"Da Tsing Yi."

Xiao Yanagi put on half of her makeup, hooked the powder on the eyeliner, and looked at it like this, her eyes were watery and tender.

Zhao Yi coughed.

Song Ning looked at him: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yi turned his face a little sideways, and the light fell right on his face.

Song Ning felt that in such a comparison, Zhao Yi was better-looking.

"It's okay, you continue." Zhao Yi said.

Song Ning didn't think much about it, and said to Yuan Tian: "It's nothing, you're busy with you." ”

"Yes." Yuan Tian should be, and sat back to put on makeup, Song Ning suddenly said, "Last year, Zhu Zhaogui invited him to sing at home, and it was Boss Yuan?" ”

Xiao Yanagihong's makeup hand was stunned, and he didn't answer, Ma Zili's words: "Yes." He sang home for three days in a row. ”

"What day is it?"

There was a kid over there who was kicking his legs and tendons, and he grinned and said, "It's May 16, 17, and 18. ”

An older martial artist said: "I remember that after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hot, and Xiaoyanagi's red makeup was spent. ”

"I also ate watermelon." The little Wu Xing with the monkey face said with a smile, "His little master also gave me grapes, and those grapes are really delicious when they are put in ice." ”

A few of the children thought about last summer and laughed together.

The topic of singing for three days was overshadowed by the sound of children enthusiastically discussing food.

Song Ning looked at Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tian was drawing his eyebrows, and Song Ning suddenly leaned in and asked, "Will this makeup also be spent?" ”

Yuan Tian was startled, his eyebrows slanted with a shake of his hand, his eyes were cold and returned to the same as before, he looked at Song Ning and said, "Lord Song doesn't know, we often sweat and wear makeup in summer." ”

"I see." Song Ning bowed slightly, watched Yuan Tian draw the wrong eyebrow, skillfully erased it, and then added a new piece, carefully tracing the eyebrows.

Zhao Yi was strolling around, stopping at the face of the boy with the monkey face, and the boy looked at him curiously.

"You sing martial arts?"

The little boy nodded, "Yes." ”

"Sing one and I'll listen to it."

The little boy looked at Ma Zili and asked for his opinion, and Ma Zili smiled and said, "Sing one for adults." ”

The little boy appeared and sang a few words.

The sound is good, and the seedlings are good.

"Not bad." Zhao Yi bowed slightly, and was about to leave, when Song Ning suddenly said, "Yuntai, isn't your family's troupe lacking a little martial artist?" ”

Zhao Yi looked at Song Ning.

He was glad that he understood Song Ning's meaning, and began to have a tacit understanding. Zhao Yi nodded and said, "There is indeed one missing." The words fell and looked at Ma Zili, not in a negotiated tone, "I want this little martial artist, just ask for it." ”

Ma Zili was stunned.

"His family has a troupe, and he won't treat the child badly." Song Ning smiled and said, "I see that you have several martial arts children, let one be given to him." ”

"He has money, so he can make any offer."

Zhao Yi bowed: "Give you three thousand taels." ”

A room full of people stood in place in horror, not expecting them to come to the troupe to buy people directly, and the price was so high.

The face of the little martial artist who was bought turned pale with fright.

"Adult, this, these children were raised in the class, this ...... This can't be a deal. Ma Zili said.

"Who didn't buy it? You were all born? Zhao Yi stared at Ma Zili, "You can find so many seedlings, how many people have you bought and sold?" ”

Ma Zili was dumbfounded.

"Five thousand taels." Zhao Yi said, "At this price, I can buy a room of children." ”

This time, even Song Ning was shocked, the prince is the prince, and he is so generous to buy anything.

"My lord, really, really can't be sold." Ma Zili said.

Song Ning asked Yuan Tian: "Tell me about your class master, it's just a small martial arts." ”

Yuan Tian and Song Ning said: "We can't do it without anyone in the family class. ”

Everyone nodded.

"It's really impressive." Song Ning was moved, and said to Zhao Yi, "I see, forget it." ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Yi pleadingly.

Zhao Yi glanced at Song Ning, and Song Ning's gaze naturally fell on Yuan Tian's head.

"Then ask him to sing it for me for a few days." Zhao Yi said, "The money is given according to the market price." ”

Ma Zili was stunned again, this time he didn't refuse, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, my lord, you want to think about it for a few days, which play do you choose?" ”

"Give me the script." Zhao Yi said.

Ma Zili held the script and waited.

Xiao Wuxing, who was almost bought, hid around his friends in fright, Song Ning walked up to the child, and said regretfully: "You have lost an opportunity to change the fate of your life." ”

"What fate?" Wu Xing looked at her.

Song Ning pointed at Zhao Yi: "Do you think this son's bearing can be shared by ordinary people?" ”

Xiao Wuxing shook his head.

Song Ning smiled meaningfully and asked, "How old are you this year, so clever." ”

Just now he brought up the topic of eating snacks, this kid is very shrewd.

"I'm eleven this year." Xiao Wu Xingdao.

Song Ning bowed slightly: "Eleven years old, it's a pity to sing all my life, I obviously had a chance just now." ”

Saying that, she didn't pay attention to the child anymore, and walked around the backstage with her hands behind her back to wait for Zhao Yi, she could feel that Yuan Tian's eyes had been following her, and she was not in a hurry, she stopped in front of the hanger, touched it here, and looked there.

In everyone's sight, she calmly looked at everything in the backstage.

Although Zhao Yi read the script once, he chose a play at random: "I'll tell you another day when I sing." ”

Ma Zili didn't dare to ask more at all, and he didn't dare to say that you would give some deposits.

Song Ning wandered to Yuan Tian's side again: "The topic just now was cut off, you sang in Zhufu for three days, what do you think of Zhu Zhaogui?" ”

"I wish you a good job. If he hadn't invited us to his house to sing, we might not have been able to stay in Jinan. Yuan Tian said, "He prepares food and snacks for us every day, and he is a good person." ”

Song Ning bowed slightly: "What do you think about Zhu Zhaogui's sudden disappearance?" ”

"After all, there is no one who cares for you very much."

An aunt gave him a red paint and put it where he could get it.

He continued to apply the paint and said, "We originally thought that they would come back soon, so we put the theater here, maybe we can still be praised by the officials." ”

"You know, we're in the business of people. The most famous person in Jinan Mansion is Zhu Guanren. ”

Yuan Tian said, sighed, and looked at Song Ning: "It's that I don't have this blessing anymore." ”

And did not express his opinion.

Song Ning didn't ask anymore, smiled lightly, and said, "You are already blessed." ”

As he spoke, he saw a small carved fan on the side of his table, and a blue thread weaving Yingluo on the fan pendant, wrapped in a round jadeite in the middle, "You jade, not bad." ”

Yuan Tian took the fan back and stuffed it in his sleeve: "It's not a good thing, it makes adults laugh." ”

Song Ning glanced around, and said to Zhao Yi: "I still have some things, let's go back first." ”

Ma Zili personally sent them out.

Song Ning and Zhao Yi walked along the alley of Zhufu, and when they walked far, Zhao Yi said loudly: "I cooperated just now, are you very satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, quite satisfied." Song Ning said.

"I think it's very tacit." Zhao Yi was very satisfied with himself, "I think there is a problem with Yuan Tian in the Chengjia class. ”

Song Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at him expectantly: "Tell me, what's the problem?" ”

"Because you've been staring at him and talking." Zhao Yi said.

Although he raised the suspicion of committing the crime by the troupe, after arriving at the Chengjia class, he really didn't see anything wrong.

After all, it was just a chat, not a murder scene, and with his experience, there was nothing to gain.

Song Ning smiled and said, "This trip was not in vain, I do think there is a problem." ”

"What's the problem, you tell me." Zhao Yi said.
