Chapter 357: Reordering (7)
Xiao Ding'er's growth is by leaps and bounds.
In fact, his aunt didn't teach him much skill, but his comprehension is very high, and he can learn everything at a point.
And then he likes to read books when he has nothing to do on weekdays, so he also taught himself a lot of ancient book allusions.
When he took the stage again, he was already very calm and skilled.
As a result, he won a big victory on the first stage, and it became a fire directly.
This time, the owner of the stage singing was a large family in the village.
The family has money and food, and there are no other entertainment activities on weekdays, so they love to watch the troupe sing.
This time, the old mother of the family celebrated her sixtieth birthday, so she accidentally invited Xiao Ding'er and their group of drama troupes.
But I didn't expect Xiao Ding'er's performance to be so amazing, and the old lady of the owner was fascinated at once.
I had to keep them for another three days.
Xiao Ding'er's aunt naturally can't ask for it, and she can make more money by performing one more show, so why not do it. What's more, it's not her who is tired, she just sits and collects money.
It's also thanks to Xiao Ding'er's young people at that time, and he wasn't afraid of getting tired. And now that I am playing the leading role, it is an extremely proud honor, so I am willing to seize this opportunity. Hone your acting skills through performances on stage.
So he acted seriously for three days, which made the old lady of the owner very happy.
Once you've made a name for yourself, the rest is much simpler.
His aunt received more and more invitations, and Xiao Ding'er's appearance price also rose.
After singing in the township for half a year, my aunt was not satisfied with this environment.
She didn't think she could make much money by acting for some hillbillies.
It is naturally no problem for this silver to be used for living and three meals a day, but if you want to buy land, buy a house, add a family and employ people, it is far from enough.
So Xiao Ding'er's aunt started to think crookedly, she first wanted to sell Xiao Ding'er directly to the Qinglou, anyway, someone wanted a beautiful man like Xiao Ding'er.
And there has already been an old bustard who has come to her again and again, saying that the male customers who have come to patronize her recently are very fond of little men dressed as women, and asked her to simply sell her nephew to her Qinglou.
This kind of thing, Xiao Ding'er's aunt naturally thought about it again and again, and the reason why she didn't negotiate in the end was not that she still had a little conscience about being a person, but that she was too little to get the price code given by the bustard.
Just a hundred taels of silver and want to dig up my cash cow? Hmph, no way!
This one thing didn't work out, and my aunt began to think about another thing.
That is to take Xiao Ding'er to Beijing to perform.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven is full of gold.
A stone was thrown over and hit ten people, at least three or four of them were high-ranking officials in Beijing, three or four were wealthy businessmen, and the remaining one or two were definitely noble sons with solid family backgrounds.
So in such a place, are you still afraid that Xiao Ding'er's skills will not be able to be displayed?
So my aunt and uncle put it together, and without Xiao Ding'er's consent, they drove the carriage and carried the troupe into Beijing overnight to develop.
Life in the capital is not as easy as they imagined.
There are too many famous names gathered here, and the type like Xiao Ding'er can only win with freshness at best.
So after singing a few times, it gradually became cold.
No one came to invite him to sing anymore, and the entire troupe lost its income.
"Alas, I told you a long time ago, the capital is not a place for people like us." The uncle smoked a dry cigarette and complained vigorously.
Recently, he fell in love with visiting Fengyue places, so he also spent a lot of the money he earned.
"Oh, you still have the face to say that mine is not."
My aunt put her hand on her waist and posed like a tigress.
Pointing at his uncle's nose and scolding: "Don't think I don't know where you went behind my back!" Let me tell you, all the money you spend now is earned by Xiao Ding'er, if you don't let Xiao Ding'er develop well in the capital, you can go back to the countryside for me to drink the northwest wind immediately! Don't you know the group of hillbillies in the countryside, how much silver can you get? Wouldn't it be better for them to give you the eggs laid by the old hen and the bread baked by his wife? I'd like to see how you go to the kiln with these things! Phew, shameless thing! β
In this family, my aunt has always been in charge.
When my uncle heard this, his attitude immediately softened.
He took two puffs of dry tobacco and sat down with a lewd smile to please his aunt.
"Lady, don't be so angry, beware of being angry."
"What does it matter if I'm angry and bad, it's not exactly what you want. Hello to ask for another room lady. β
"Oh, you've wronged me. I've never thought of it that way. β
Aunt glanced at him, "I don't care if you have such thoughts, anyway, as long as I am here, I have the final say in this family." β
Uncle nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, of course." β
"Or, so be it." Uncle suddenly had an idea.
"Recently, I met a noble son, his father likes to listen to dramas, especially to listen to the drama of men playing against women. I heard from the aristocratic son that a few days ago his father went around looking for the kind of boy who specializes in male disguise and female clothing to raise at home. β
"Whewβ" My aunt felt goosebumps all over her body.
Busy asked, "Is this really the case?" I don't believe it, where can a person like you get acquainted with some aristocratic son. β
"It's true, I met him in Rouge Building."
"Oh...... I see! Okay! You really go to that kind of place to play money behind my back, see if I don't clean you up today! β
"Ouch, lady, don't fight, don't fight."
Xiao Ding'er's uncle was rolling on the kang like a coward, and his aunt was whipping his uncle with a horse whip, a prop used for singing.
As he played, his aunt suddenly laughed.
"My man, don't say it, this is really a good way. If you send Xiao Ding'er to the noble son's house, you can not only get a good reward, but also get money on a monthly basis. If he wants to do something else to our little Ding'er, then he has to calculate the money separately. β
"yes, I'll just say it's a good idea. You're still beating me......"
"I didn't beat you because of this incident, but because you have learned badly since you came to the capital. Those places, you are not allowed to go to the old lady in the future, do you hear? β
"I heard it, I heard it, and I will never go again."
"Hmph, that's right."
"Alas, it's up to you to say that our family, take pity on my little nephew."
"Pathetic? , you're less merciful here. If you don't, where will you get the money to spend? β
"Just do it, do it like this, and I didn't say I didn't agree."
So, under the combination of his uncle and aunt, Xiao Ding'er was sent to the mansion of the aristocratic brother, and since then he has become a plaything of the father's father.
