Chapter 107: Qingliban
"We can sing operas, we are the famous Qingliban, haven't you heard that the opera in the imperial capital is very popular now? The queen mother listens to the opera herself, what do you mean by being so doggy and looking down on people!" A white-bearded old man in the troupe stood up and said these words menacingly.
Hua Wu raised her eyebrows and looked at the other people on the table, just said that the troupe, this is the troupe.
The shopkeeper still didn't buy their account, and said angrily: "Okay, I don't care what Qingliban you are, you will each pay ten taels of silver, and I will give you a night's stay." ”
The shopkeeper's voice fell, and the group of people wilted.
"Old master, let's find another one, and it's still full today. A middle-aged man in a gray robe came over and whispered.
The old head of the white-bearded squad was also silent.
Hua Wu knew that they could only receive 20 taels of silver for a play, and those who had so many mouths to eat and live and travel would definitely not be rich.
"Go, go, don't stick here if you don't have any money. The shopkeeper unceremoniously drove people away.
The group walked out of the lobby silently, and for a moment there was a lot of whispering in the lobby.
It's nothing more than the state of the world and something like that.
Hua Li sighed: "It's really hard to go anywhere without money. ”
After a few people quickly finished their meal and went to check the room where Hua Li lived, Hua Wu retreated.
She wanted to stand up for those Qingliban people just now, but she didn't know if it was a trap, so she just waited, and at this time, Hua Li and Hua Huo were discussing their cultivation, and she decided to go to the town to have a look.
If what the troupe said was right, she could consider taking these people in.
It seems that the queen's troupe strategy still has a good rumor spreading, if there are more troupes that can widely spread the prince's affairs, doesn't that mean that there is no need to be the queen?
After thinking about this, she decided to come out and take a look, and Meng Er followed suit.
Luoshui Town is indeed very prosperous, the last time I came was in the middle of the night, and the time I left was in the early morning.
This time, I took a close walk and found that it was very similar to the characteristic town in the south of the Yangtze River, with meandering water and willows.
The shops on the side of the road also look very old.
Hua Wu thinks that the shops here should not be cheaper than the imperial capital, on the contrary, they must be very expensive.
After asking a few restaurants, sure enough, it was more than ten times more expensive than the teahouse and restaurant she bought.
As soon as she came out of a pharmacy, she saw that the people from the Qingliban had been coaxed out of an inn again.
A group of people stood in the street looking extremely depressed.
The old man's face was decadent, and the eyes of several young people were full of hesitation and helplessness.
"Hey, old man, haven't you found a place to live yet?" said Hua Wu with a smile and walked up to greet her.
The white-bearded old man glanced at Hua Wu, a beautiful girl with a smile, who didn't look like a bad person, so he said twice: "Yes, I didn't expect the hotels in the imperial capital to be so expensive!"
The old man didn't explain much, but his tone was sad.
"How long has the old man's troupe been singing?" Hua Wu said as she glanced at a few young people in the group.
I have to say that the posture is good, a few little girls look beautiful and dusty, although the posture is not open, but it is definitely good to be able to foresee the future, and the younger men also look tall and handsome.
"Hehe, my Lao Bai has been singing for more than 50 years, and all the people in this team are my Lao Bai's family, not that I said, we have almost walked through all the cities in the whole continent. The old man spoke of his great achievements, and his eyes flashed with pride.
Hua Wu smiled and bowed her head.
"That's it, old man, I'll subsidize you with some silver taels, if you have completed the paperwork of going to the imperial capital to sing opera, go to the imperial capital to find me. ”
Hua Wu said to the old man with a smile, she still has a lot of temptation in her heart, who is not a little vigilant when she meets in this kind of water?
"No, no, we have no merit, how can we accept the girl's silver taels, even if we set up a camping outside today, we can't accept the girl's money, thank you for the girl's kindness." ”
"Can't you sing a play in this town, and you should be able to receive silver taels by the afternoon!" suggested Hua Wu with a smile.
"There's no place! The teahouse won't be entered, the stage can't be built, and we won't be able to make it to the imperial capital overnight. The old man casually recounted his difficulties, mainly because he thought the girl seemed to be very kind.
"Old man, listen to me, I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, you stay first, and come to me tomorrow after entering the imperial capital, I also opened a teahouse, you can sing there, how about the income from singing can be used to pay back my five hundred taels?" Hua Wu gave them a step in a roundabout way.
The old man hesitated when he heard this, and the gray-robed middle-aged man came over again.
"Father, this girl's suggestion is very good, anyway, we can still return her after singing. The middle-aged man said as he smiled sincerely at Hua Wu.
The old man finally nodded hesitantly.
Hua Wu casually took out five hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to the old man.
"Old man, remember to go to me, my teahouse is called Huajian Yin. Hua Wu told them the address again, and then turned to leave.
Lao Bai chased after him and asked, "How do you call the girl!"
"Oh, my name is Flower Dance, Flower of Flowers, Dance of Dance. Hua Wu smiled and walked away, and Meng Er hurriedly followed.
The crown princess is really kind, and she saved a wave of people casually.
Not to mention Meng Er's careful thinking, the Qingliban people in the back felt that they were very confused.
"Father, this girl is really a kind person. ”
"There are still good people!" the old man sighed.
"She's not going to be a liar. A young man came up and said.
"The silver tickets are all given to you, what are you lying about, stupid!" Lao Bai scolded with a cold face, and the young man whispered: "How long are we going to sing for the five hundred taels of silver?"
"The imperial capital is our chance to make a fortune this time, you guys need a few fewer rooms and save some. The old man waved his hand and walked back to the inn.
Hua Wu walked out from behind a large tree not far away.
Meng Er followed up and said, "Isn't the princess afraid that they will cheat the money away?"
"I'm afraid! If they cheat the five hundred taels away today, and let me meet them another day, I won't have any bones left to make them vomit. ”
"Uh" Meng Er didn't dare to refute, just now he thought she was kind, how could he think she was very ruthless?
The two of them returned to the inn where they had left before.
Everyone chattered and talked all afternoon, and Hua Wu specially taught the three of them how to use flying pigeons to pass the book, and finally in the evening, Hua Wu took the fireworks back to the city.
Hua Li also decided to rest for one night and return to Jinyang tomorrow.
If he can fly pigeons and pass on books, it will be convenient for him to contact them.
After all, the city near Jinyang is still at war, and he won't be at ease if he doesn't go back.
According to Hua Wu, he must cultivate his own power as soon as possible, and the money he earns will be used to buy more people.
Although he doesn't know much about the practice of flower dance, why he wants to build his own network, it is imperative to have someone who can use him.
This continent will always be the law of the jungle, and the power of the Yuwen family in Jinyang is also made big by money and power.
The rise of every family depends on a little bit of accumulation.
Even if you can't live a glorious life, at least you can live in peace.
