Chapter 38: Competitors

Ling Zifeng saw Ah Xing, looked at Guo Lin and asked, "This is ......" Rong Zheng, who was beside him, looked at Ah Xing for a while, rolled his eyes, and then showed a knowing smile. Ah Xing knew that this kid must have recognized himself. looked at him at the moment and smiled slightly. Rong Zheng saw her smiling at herself, revealing a look of surprise, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.

Guo Lin introduced Ah Xing to Ling Zifeng: "This is Brother Li's nephew, who came with Brother Li today." When I saw him coming for the first time, I showed him around. ”

Ling Zifeng naturally knew that the "Big Brother Li" in Guo Lin's mouth was Li Runfu, and when he heard his name, he looked at Ah Xing carefully, thought for a while, and then understood it. He didn't break it, pointed to the stone bench next to him, and said to the two: "Brother Guo, this ...... Little brother, please be seated. ”

When Ah Xing saw his expression, she knew that he had recognized herself, but when she saw him silent, she also had a good feeling in her heart. She and Guo Lin sat down on two stone benches.

Ling Zifeng's expression was gloomy, he sighed and said: "Brother Guo doesn't know, this time it seems that the person who came to dig up our theater drama is someone who has something to do with Lord Fucheng, he came prepared, even if he is afraid of it, it will be useless." And not only Fang Mozhu, but also Mei Xianghua and a few slightly famous actors were all co-opted by the other party. I'm afraid this person's ultimate goal is to crush our theater! ”

Lord Fucheng is an official sent by the imperial court to the fiefdom, although his status is not as noble as that of the prince, but he still has certain rights in the city.

Ah Xing understood Ling Zifeng's suffering, the other party had such a big hand, unless he could give the same conditions to the play, he was afraid that he would not be able to dispel these people's intentions. It's just that if the treatment of the actors is really improved, the theater will definitely not be able to bear this additional expense.

Guo Lin slammed his fist into the stone table and said angrily: "It's all some ungrateful!" I don't want to think about how they would have achieved today if it weren't for Boss Ling's countless efforts to support this theater over the years, and if it weren't for Boss Ling's painstaking efforts to tailor the script for them according to their characteristics, how would they have today's achievements! It's a well-known thing, but they only have silver in their eyes now, and they don't remember any of it! Rong Zheng on the side also had an indignant expression.

Ling Zifeng was afraid to pat Guo Lin on the shoulder, and said softly: "Brother Guo, don't be angry, it's normal for people to go to a high place, the status of the drama is low, and the only thing they can rely on for a lifetime is money and silver, and it is understandable that they want to make more money, I can understand." And what Mo Zhu said just now is not unreasonable, listening to the Song Theater today is by no means the credit of my Ling Zifeng alone! It's just that there are a lot of big families who have booked Mozhu's play, and I have accepted the silver, and as soon as he leaves, I don't say that Song Theater has lost its reputation, but I'm afraid that I will have to lose a lot of silver! Ben wanted to keep him for a while longer, and the theater would lose less......"

Hearing this, Ah Xing couldn't help but feel a trace of appreciation for Boss Ling, being forced to such a point, but he could still put himself in the shoes of others, without saying a word to vent his anger and insults, and he could still remember the benefits of others' past, this person can be regarded as a gentleman.

Rong Zheng showed a look of remorse, knelt down in front of the master, and kowtowed in various ways, "It's all the disciples, it's the disciples who are too reckless and said things that shouldn't be said!" The disciple went to apologize to Boss Fang, let him punish him, and let him dissipate his anger! ”

Guo Lin shook his head, sighed again and again, and looked unwilling, "I'm afraid that this will fuel his arrogance even more!" ”

Boss Ling helped Rong Zheng up, the latter was so anxious that tears fell out, Boss Ling smiled gently and said: "I don't blame you for this, Mozhu has already made up his mind, even if he barely stays with him for a while, he is not at ease, making everyone uncomfortable, let him be!" If he breaches the contract and leaves, he always has to pay some silver taels, which should be enough to pay the compensation of the guests! ”

Rong Zheng wiped his tears with his sleeve and stood beside the master with his head down.

Boss Ling stood up, his hands behind his back, he raised his head, looked at the lush pine forest in front of him, and his eyes became resolute: "I, Ling Zifeng, have also gone through a lot of storms and waves, every time it is full of dangers, and this time the predicament will not be difficult for me!" ”

Guo Lin also stood up with a "ho", looked at Ling Zifeng and said loudly: "Boss Ling, if it weren't for you, I, Guo Lin, might have died a long time ago, how can I have a stable meal now, although I Guo Lin is talentless, I am by no means ungrateful!" Boss Ling, what's the use of me, just command! ”

Ling Zifeng patted him on the shoulder, with a touched look in his eyes, "Good brother!" ”

Ah Xing was sighing at the scene in front of her, and suddenly there was a crisp high-five in her ears, and several people followed the voice, but saw Li Runfu waving to Ah Xing not far behind him.

Ah Xing turned around and said, "I'm sorry, my little brother is leaving, and I have to go to catch the car with my uncle!" ”

Guo Lin showed an apologetic look on his face, touched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about you!" ”

Ah Xing smiled and shook her head, said goodbye to them and turned back to her father.

Although Ah Xing is very sympathetic to Boss Ling's current predicament, she has no understanding of the opera industry, and she can't help if she wants to, so she can only pray for him sincerely in her heart, hoping that he can tide over the difficulties smoothly.

Ah Xing and her father returned to the stable, and Liu Guihua was no longer there. She was very curious about what kind of interaction her father had with Liu Guihua just now, but when she saw her father's calm expression, she knew that Sister Guihua's actions had basically made no progress. I couldn't help but sigh again.

The two men lassoed the carriage and drove it to the East Street. When they got there, they found that their usual solicitation position was occupied by a small two-wheeled carriage. The coachman in the carriage saw that they did not see them, and still shouted loudly: "Go to the west of the city for 5 dollars!" 4 seats on a first-come, first-served basis! ”

When Li Runfu saw the scene in front of him, his brows immediately furrowed, and he couldn't help but stand up from the carriage, his eyes staring at the competitor in front of him for a moment.

Ah Xing had already expected that sooner or later there would be competitors, how could someone with a heart let go of such a financial road that everyone could see? It's just that the price of four-wheeled carriages is high, and not ordinary people can afford it, and those who can afford it are large families, so how can they use horse-drawn carriages to solicit customers for business? That's why Ah Xing didn't take this matter to heart. But she didn't expect that someone would use a small two-wheeled carriage to solicit customers, didn't the owner know that it was a dangerous thing for a small two-wheeled carriage to be overloaded?
