Chapter 102: The Circle Returns (Addition 2)
The palace wants to start a play, and let the troupe under Zhu Hao's name come to perform, which sounds like a discussion, but Zhu Hao always feels that this seems to be an ultimatum to himself, and there is no room for negotiation.
But this did not exceed Zhu Hao's expectations, originally he felt that the palace would not let Zhu Houxi go out to hang out again, and invite the troupe in, although this troupe may be mixed with assassins, fine works, etc., but as long as you are careful, the possibility of chaos is very small.
After all, it's a performance on the palace's own turf!
Zhu Hao said: "Yes, but it must be on the schedule...... That is, I have to plan the singing time, and then I have to go out in advance to arrange. ”
"Hmm."
Yuan Zonggao had a smile on his face, and he praised Zhu Hao a little more in his expression, "You can leave the palace at any time, and discuss it with your people, as long as Lu Dianzhan accompanies you." ”
Zhu Hao's gaze fell on Lu Song.
Lu Song had known about this for a long time, but the big guy was not qualified to intervene at present, so he kept his face calm and tilted his head sideways, as if he was disdainful of Zhu Hao.
Jiang Lun smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a vision at a young age, the troupe ...... In the past two days, it has caused a sensation in the city, and a movie ticket has been made, and you have to have a ticket to enter the theater, and the price of a movie ticket has even been pushed up to 100 yuan...... It's not necessarily a top position, it's full of tricks. ”
This sounds like a compliment to Zhu Hao, but it is actually a reminder to Yuan Zonggao that this scene can't be offered at a low price, otherwise the palace will really take advantage of Zhu Hao.
Yuan Zonggao originally wanted to leave, but when he heard Jiang Lun's words, he couldn't help but ask: "The opera sung by the troupe, is it they originally knew it, or are you ......?"
Zhu Hao said: "It was written by Mr. Lu before, I just taught them." ”
"I see."
Yuan Zonggao heard that it was Tang Yin's masterpiece, so he didn't ask again.
Jiang Lun asked curiously: "This Mr. Lu has such great ability, I don't know which immortal it is?" ”
A warden next to him seemed to have heard Yuan Zonggao say that he was in the joint, and whispered to Jiang Lun: "Little uncle, that Mr. Lu is the famous Tang Bohu!" ”
Jiang Lun laughed: "It's actually Tang Yin?" No wonder ......"
Don't you know that knowing smile on your face?
deliberately asked it and asked people to answer, just to emphasize it in front of Yuan Zonggao, so that Yuan Zonggao would know that Zhu Hao was Tang Yin's disciple......
Zhu Hao saw Jiang Lun knocking on the side like this, all of them were helping him, so he felt that this person was very righteous, although I don't know if this guy had any other thoughts, but with Zhu Hao's previous meetings with Jiang Lun and his observation and understanding, I felt that this person had a bold personality and was worth befriending.
……
……
Yuan Zonggao led people away.
Lu Song followed behind him, and when those wardens parted ways, Lu Song asked nervously: "Yuan Changshi, will you rashly find an opera troupe from outside to come into the palace to sing...... Something is wrong? ”
Yuan Zonggao smiled: "Isn't it Zhu Hao's troupe?" What's the problem? ”
Lu Song said: "It is precisely because it is his drama troupe that there is a risk...... He's just a kid, how can he be able to support a troupe? It must be behind the Zhu family's stealth, or there are others to help...... If there are villains hiding in that troupe......"
Before he finished his words, he was stopped by Yuan Zonggao from raising his hand to continue.
"You're wary of people outside, and you're right, but this time you're too worried...... In fact, the old man has asked people to investigate clearly in advance, and there is no problem with the origin of this troupe, and Zhu Hao's use to buy the troupe, regardless of whether it was given by his mother or not, but it must not be a gift from the Zhu family, and it is good that the Zhu family did not take the silver from his mother......"
Yuan Zonggao is cautious, but in fact, he doesn't need to be reminded by Lu Song at all.
Lu Song suddenly realized that about the secret of Zhu Hao's body, Yuan Zonggao could not use him alone to investigate, what was his status in the palace?
It's just one of many people who have done it!
Just because he usually gets close to Zhu Hao, he thought that Yuan Zonggao would tell him everything about Zhu Hao?
Lu Song suddenly felt a sadness in his heart, thinking that his colleagues had been estranged from him in the past two years, all because he was stained with his wife's light, and he was always looked at differently by his boss and arranged important things.
But it seems that he is the one who betrays the palace...... Now he actually took the initiative to help the palace correct some mistakes? Is this the right thing to do?
Yuan Zonggao saw that Lu Song's expression was uncertain, and thought that his tone was serious, so he said in a gentle tone: "Tomorrow, you accompany Zhu Hao to go out for a trip, finalize the matter, and observe the situation of the troupe by the way." On the day of the opening of the palace, you let people keep an eye on it, and the old man will entrust you with the responsibility of guarding, and you have to do things carefully, after all, the relatives of the palace will go to watch the play collectively. ”
This can be regarded as a kind of trust in Lu Song.
Lu Song hurriedly clenched his fists: "The humble duty must not disgrace the mission." ”
Yuan Zonggao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too serious, just invite the troupe to sing in the palace, which year has it not?" It's Zhu Hao's side...... Hehe, although he is a young man, he has a lot of thoughts and habits that do not belong to his age, you should pay more attention. ”
Lu Song heard Yuan Zonggao's wariness of Zhu Hao.
The more Zhu Hao behaves like an adult, the more the palace will pay attention and be on guard, isn't this exactly what he expected?
……
……
Early the next morning.
As soon as Zhu San and Zhu Si saw Zhu Hao, they excitedly asked about the upcoming drama in the palace.
“…… Zhu Hao, invite your troupe to the palace to perform in the hall, Mr. Yuan told you, right? This is the mother concubine specially asked for her father, and the mother said that there has not been a play in the palace this year, and the father hesitated again and again before agreeing...... Hey, hey, let you make money, shouldn't you thank us? ”
Zhu San came up and invited credit.
Jing Hong looked at it curiously, he didn't understand what the opening of the palace had to do with Zhu Hao's money, he only realized that the bookstore was opened by Zhu Hao, and by the way, someone was singing on the stage.
Now I hear that Zhu Hao can make money because of this...... Isn't Zhu Hao a little rich?
Zhu Si also realized this problem, and asked curiously: "Zhu Hao, isn't your mother sick, she doesn't even have money to see a doctor, and she came out to sell rabbits, how can she have the money to hire an opera troupe?" ”
Zhu Hao said angrily: "As far as you have a lot of questions, do you know the situation of my family?" ”
Zhu Si shook his head honestly.
Zhu Hao said: "After my father died, my mother worked hard to pull me to grow up, but my grandmother and second uncle bullied our orphans and widows, originally my family's business was very good, but they found people from the government to close my shop, and the source of income was cut off......
"Do you think I'm willing to come out at a young age to earn money to support my family? If I hadn't been bullied so badly, why would I have waited until I met Mr. Lu before someone enlightened me? It was Mr. Lu who gave me advice, so I came out to do business by myself, and my life gradually improved. ”
Not to mention Zhu San and Zhu Si, even Jing Hong and Lu Bing looked at Zhu Hao with story-like eyes, completely forgetting what they were doing.
"And then?"
Zhu San couldn't help but ask.
"Later, I found a man named Yu San, who used to work as a long-term worker in my house, and I co-opened a bookstore with him, he was usually responsible for taking care of the livelihood, and I was responsible for writing the storybook...... Isn't that just money?
"Mr. Lu said that as long as the money I earn is not known to the clan, they will not continue to exploit our orphans and widows, so that I will have money to study in the future, and my mother will have money to be treated when she is sick."
A story is always a story.
Although there were some discrepancies with the actual situation, Zhu Hao finally got the lie back, so that a few children couldn't find fault.
Even if Zhu San and Zhu Si get to the bottom of it and ask outsiders, the people in the palace probably know so many clues, only Zhu Niang's previous illness is not easy to make up, but the problem is ...... Who can verify whether Zhu Niang is really sick? At that time, he was suppressed and bullied by the Zhu family, and his business could not continue, so he couldn't think about tea and dinner, and then he couldn't afford to bed...... Makes sense.
Zhu San looked at Zhu Hao with adoring eyes and said, "Zhu Hao, I didn't see it before, you have to come out to make money to support your family at a young age, but ...... I think you worship Mr. Lu as your teacher...... No, it's to worship that Mr. Tang as a teacher, it's really your creation, and he has taught you a lot of things. ”
Zhu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, I also think he is my benefactor." ”
said this on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart, Tang Yin, Tang Yin, how big a top hat did I put on you?
looked at Zhu Si next to him, his face was leisurely and fascinated, and in his young heart, he planted the impression that "Mr. Tang is omnipotent".
……
……
Noon on the same day.
Zhu Hao, accompanied by Lu Song, left the palace and went to the bookstore to find Yu Sanhe and the opera troupe to discuss the matter of entering the palace to sing.
Yu San was very excited when he saw Zhu Hao, almost crying with joy, and said, "Little owner, don't you know, these days...... Our show really drove the whole city crazy! So many people came to see ...... Shuchang said that "The Legend of the White Snake" has been going on for a while, but I didn't expect it...... The effect of the arrangement is so good. ”
Zhu Hao said: "I asked the bookstore to say that "The Legend of the White Snake" is a warm-up, so that people can know the synopsis of the story and prepare for today's box office hit. ”
Although Yu San didn't understand, he became excited and only regarded Zhu Hao's words as a golden rule.
Next to him, Lu Song looked at the two in front of him with stupid eyes.
"Little third brother, let me tell you, there is going to be a church meeting in the palace, invite our drama troupe, and give ten taels of silver...... The time is set on the second day of the lunar month, from the afternoon to the evening, and then there will be a few more plays to sing and sing, you arrange the time first. ”
Zhu Hao immediately made arrangements.
Yu San asked, "Ten taels of silver......
Lu Song asked with a dark face: "Too little?" ”
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Yu San secretly said to himself, even if the business has been good recently, it is said that a movie ticket can be sold for 100 yuan, but it is artificially stirred, and the price of the real theater ticket is only 30 or 40 yuan, and there are not many private rooms and front positions, so it is good to earn two taels of silver after a play.
If you can really earn ten taels a day...... Isn't it three hundred taels a month?
It's exciting to think about.
"Okay, I've been notified of the matter, you have arranged it, I'll go back to the palace first, and I will continue to have classes in the afternoon." Zhu Hao said.
Yu San hurriedly stayed: "Little owner, don't be in a hurry to leave, there are still things waiting for you to deal with in the troupe, and then ...... The dragon class master who performed on our stage before asked me to give you a little word, and he said if you want...... I can sell his troupe to you...... You see......"
