Chapter 41 Investments
Two days later, Ah Xing took advantage of the carriage to rest in the theater, and told her father to walk around the theater, Li Runfu was already very familiar with the people in the theater, and knew that most of the people in the theater were of good character, so she didn't worry, just told her not to lose track of time.
Li Runfu's voice has improved a lot, but Ah Xing said to his father that he has to catch the car and greet guests alone, he will be too busy, and his voice can't stand it, if he is distracted when he is in the car, it will not be good if he encounters danger! It's better to let her accompany him to catch the car again.
Li Runfu didn't want his daughter to come out again, but what Ah Xing said was very reasonable, it was a bit difficult to be alone, and Ah Xing was very helpful, with her by her side to chat with herself, it was easy to pass the day. Besides, she pretended to be a kid, and she hadn't been discovered for so long, anyway, she was still young now, and she wasn't busy with the matter of marrying, so let her help for a few months, and when the business stabilized, he would invite someone else, and then let Ah Xing go home.
And he can also see that his daughter doesn't like to stay at home all day long!
So during this time, Ah Xing still followed her father to catch the car.
Ah Xing found Ling Zifeng in the backyard of the theater, and at this time he was sitting at the stone table in front of the pine forest, looking blankly ahead, his expression lonely and gloomy.
"Boss Ling." A-Xing walked up to him and called softly.
Ling Zifeng turned his head when he heard the voice, and looked at Ah Xing blankly, his eyes were empty, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Ah Xing looked at him, his whole person was just like Liu Guihua said, he lost more than a circle, his eyes were deeply sunken, his skin was dull, and his lips were bloodless. Ah Xing knew that it was all because he hadn't eaten well recently and was overthinking. Looking at him like this, a trace of pity rose in Ah Xing's heart, and she couldn't help but call softly again: "Boss Ling." ”
Ling Zifeng came to his senses at this time, he looked at Ah Xing, and smiled, when he laughed, there were deep wrinkles on both sides of his mouth, and he looked like he was ten years older.
"Little Brother Li...... Oh no, it should actually be Miss Li, Ling is right! ”
Ah Xing smiled and nodded: "Boss Ling has good eyesight!" My name is Li Xing, and Boss Ling will call me Ah Xing in the future! ”
Boss Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "Later?" There is no future, I am ready to leave here with the rest of the actors, form a mobile troupe, and go around begging for a living, and I can't afford the rent here. ”
He stood up, his body was rickety, his clothes hung loosely on his body, fluttering in the wind, his eyes were full of sadness, "I apprenticed at the age of five, debuted at the age of fifteen, and was already a famous actor at the age of twenty, and after five years, I was almost forgotten by the audience by the age of thirty, and naturally there was a rising star who took my place." In the past 20 years of life, the bitterness and pain are incomprehensible to ordinary people, so I have always wanted to create a stable environment where all the actors can live happily and smoothly even if they are forgotten by the audience. I want these dramas that are despised by the world to have a normal life. ”
"I took over the master's troupe, and it was thanks to everyone's efforts that I had the scale of today's Tingsong Theater, once, I thought I could do what I wanted to do, but now I have found out ......"
He lowered his head and slowly turned around to look at Ah Xing, his voice was full of bitterness, "The environment I have created is really vulnerable, and someone with a heart can make me lose three or two times!" I have no power or power to fight back......"
The status of the actor is extremely low, belonging to the level of untouchables, even if he becomes a famous actor one day and is sought after, but his status has not improved at all, and some famous actors will even become noble male favorites. These Ah Xing have seen these in books in his previous life, so he can understand Ling Zifeng's suffering more or less, and it is precisely because of this that he admires him even more, it is conceivable that for so many years, he has supported this theater alone, supported so many people, and put in a lot of effort during the period.
"Boss Ling, is Fang Mozhu already gone?" A-Xing asked
"I left yesterday, not only him, except for Mei Xianghua, other slightly famous actors have all gone to the newly opened Qingyun Theater opposite. That theater will officially open at the end of the month. And we can't pay the rent, so we're moving out at the end of the month! He sat down opposite Ah Xing again, looked at Ah Xing and smiled lightly and said, "Let Ah Xing girl see it smile, Ling is really sad in his heart, but he can't show it in front of others, they are only afraid that they are more uneasy than me!" Please forgive Ling for being reckless, although the girl is not very old, she has a pair of eyes that see through the world, so Ling will pour out the bitterness in her heart in front of the girl, if there is anything rude, please forgive the girl. ”
Ah Xing shook her head with a smile and said, "Boss Ling is not polite, in fact, Ah Xing came to Boss Ling today because she has something to discuss with Boss Ling!" ”
Ling Zifeng was a little surprised, "Discuss with Ling?" He couldn't help but lean forward, "I wonder what happened to the girl?" ”
Ah Xing looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she asked Ling Zifeng in a low voice: "Boss Ling, if you want to stay here, how much will you have to pay for the rent?" ”
"It used to be 20 taels of silver per month, but now the landlord wants to increase the price, 10 taels more per month, and you have to pay half a year's rent at one time!" He sighed, "Don't hide it from the girl, Ling can't take out this silver now." ”
Ah Xing smiled at Ling Zifeng, her eyes were bright, and her smile was extremely bright, even if Ling Zifeng was in such a depressed mood, she couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw her smile, and at the same time sighed in her heart, it's a pity that her skin is darker, otherwise what kind of alluring posture it would be in a few years!
He watched her take out a stack of silver tickets from her arms, take out three of them, and then put the rest into her arms, and then handed the three silver tickets to him, her smile was as dazzling as the sun: "Boss Ling, here are three hundred taels of silver, you can take it to pay the rent, and the rest will be used as the cost of the theater." ”
Ling Zifeng took the silver ticket in surprise, and after a closer look, it was indeed three silver tickets of 100 taels! He was shocked, and quickly stood up, handed the silver ticket to Ah Xing, and said, "How can I ask for the girl's silver, the girl quickly take it back!" ”
300 taels of silver is not a small amount, and according to what I saw just now, Miss A Xing seems to be more than that, he has heard of the family background of the Li coachman, even if he makes some money by driving these days, the family will not have so much silver. Could it be that the daughter of their family who married into the Hu family gave it? Do they go and ask for money from their married daughters for their own sake? Now it seems that there is only this explanation, but why is it not Li Runfu who came to himself, but his daughter A Xing?
Ling Zifeng has been running a theater alone for so many years, so he is naturally a thoughtful person, and in an instant, he felt that Ah Xing's move was strange. And they have no relatives and no reason between them, why did their father and daughter come up with such a large sum of money to help themselves?
Ah Xing saw his doubts, and was not angry, his behavior was indeed a little clueless, no wonder he was suspicious, she smiled and said: "Boss Ling, don't be busy refusing first, and don't think about where Ah Xing's money comes from, these are not important, the important thing is that as long as Boss Ling accepts this silver, you and all your companions will not have to suffer from being displaced, you can continue to stay here to regain your strength and make a comeback!" Boss Ling, you haven't been in contact with our father and daughter for a day or two, so naturally you know that our father and daughter are not treacherous, and I definitely don't have any malice in doing this! ”
Ling Zifeng saw her sincerity, and the slightest doubt in his heart disappeared, but he ......
"How could Ling doubt the girl's kindness! It's just that almost all the pillars of our theater are gone, and it is impossible for me to cultivate another Fang Mozhu in a short period of time to support this theater. It's hard to take care of the long-term poverty, do you still need the girl to be generous when you pay the rent next time? No matter how thick-skinned Ling is, he can't do such a thing! ”
Ah Xing stood up, walked around the stone table with the silver ticket to Ling Zifeng's side, then stuffed the silver ticket into Ling Zifeng's hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Boss Ling, you are wrong, this money is not my generosity, but my investment!" ”
Ling Zifeng was stunned: "Investment? ”
Ah Xing smiled and nodded, "Boss Ling, I will contribute, you will contribute, and we will divide the money we earn equally!" She pulled her hands together and made a deuce gesture.
Although Ling Zifeng thought that the little girl in front of him was very cute, what she said sounded like a pastime for him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ah Xing girl, don't laugh, how can there be any money to be made in the theater now!" Have you ever seen a theater without pillars? Now the remaining dramas are okay, but the singing skills are not hot enough! Your money must have been hard to come by, and it was just a waste to give it to me, so let's take it back! As he spoke, he was about to stuff the silver ticket in his hand back into Ah Xing's hand.
Ah Xing shook her hand and took two steps back, her clear eyes shining in the sun.
She chuckled: "Boss Ling, who said that the drama has to be sung?" Whoever doesn't have good rap skills can't act! Boss Ling, there is a kind of play, even if you can't sing at all, you can still play it very well, and you can still make everyone happy to watch! ”
The previous chapter thirteen has been slightly changed, so I mind you taking a look at it again. I said earlier that a four-wheeled carriage cost 100 taels of silver, and 50 were built, and I actually wrote that I would earn 1,500 pieces of silver...... Khan, my arithmetic~~~ When I checked today, I broke out in a cold sweat......
