"Ladies and elders of Suzhou, today's knives, guns and sticks are just a drop in the bucket for us, if you want to watch more exciting programs, on the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a special performance of our 'Xilairen' troupe in the Goolan Washe, and we sincerely invite you to come and watch!"

Gong Lingzhi accepted the knife and thanked the guests, and then took the gong and begged for the reward one by one:

"One or two is not too much, one is not too little, thank you folks!"

The performance is really good, and the audience is willing to enjoy a penny or a picture.

Lingzhi lowered his posture very low, and every penny he received, he would bow and thank him.

"Good work, reward."

Ten taels of silver were put into the gong, which was the largest stroke in the audience.

Lingzhi's eyes widened, and she looked up to thank her, but a big hand grabbed her wrist fiercely, and said coldly:

"Do you know that the laws in Suzhou are strict, and you are not allowed to perform on the street?"

It is He Qiu who is in control, destined to be lonely for a lifetime.

It was Song Che who rewarded the money, and he deserved a group of wives and concubines.

"This official ...... Brother Song! ”

The official is a polite name, and Brother Song is a surprise call.

Lingzhi didn't have time to be happy, she twitched her hand, the "official" grabbed it very tightly, she could only apologize first: "Go south and north, first time in your land, I don't know the rules, please forgive me!" ”

Song Che whispered next to He Qiu's ear: "People are girls, you should be gentle." ”

He Qiu hurriedly let go of his hand and snorted lightly: "There will be no next time." With that, he turned and walked out of the crowd.

Xu Xiao shook his head, took out a few pennies and threw them into the gong, smiled at Lingzhi, and left with He Qiu.

Lingzhi rubbed his wrist that was scratched red, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Song, who is he?" ”

Song Che smiled and secretly informed, "He's the 'head snake' in Suzhou City, and even I have to avoid him for three points." ”

Lingzhi scoffed, "Dressed like a dog, but he is a hard stone heart, no wonder it's not likable." ”

Song Che pointed to the crowd on the street that had not yet dispersed, and said with a smile: "Your performance is too exciting, and the spectators have blocked the main road, which is not good after all." ”

"We're going to close the stall right away! Those who do what we do just don't know the rules, otherwise they will definitely obey them! ”

Lingzhi and Erlang and Sanlang, who participated in the performance together, quickly loaded the sticks and instruments onto the little donkey cart, thanked the crowd repeatedly, and dismissed them.

Then she was invited into Song Che's carriage, and Erlang and Saburo followed behind with the donkey cart.

Lingzhi's mouth was very sweet, and she called her sister one by one, and everyone in the carriage was very pleased with her, except for He Qiu.

"Lingzhi, aren't you Xilai people a big opera troupe? Why did you become a street juggler? Lin Yue asked.

Lingzhi lowered his head, and his words were a little lonely, "It's not a big opera troupe anymore, since my father died, the work of the Xilai people has plummeted, and many members have left the team to find another way to make a living, and now half of them are gone......"

Shen Wenjun said: "Then you should also go to Goolan Washe, where thousands of people are received every day, and tickets and rewards are always better than street performances." ”

Lingzhi shook his head, "The rent in the hook bar is too expensive, it costs money to circle a piece of vacant land in Vasheli, and the rent will be doubled on the three days of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rest of the troupe's money is not much, if you rent the stage on weekdays, there will not be enough money to rent it on holidays, so we went to the street to perform, planning to save some loose money,"

Speaking of this, she glanced at He Qiu and complained in a complaining tone: "Who knew that street performance is not allowed in Suzhou City, I have been to so many places, and it is the first time I have seen such absurd rules......

Song Che also squinted at He Qiu and added: "Yes, I don't even let the stalls be placed." ”

He Qiu's head was tilted out of the window, but his eyes were tilted into the car, and he said coldly: "It's just nonsense-

Vasher has always been free and open to the public, and it is exclusively for buskers to earn a living. The big opera troupe will be invited into the box, how can they ask for rent?

During the New Year's holidays, the government will also give the troupe performance fees, and all the ticket money will be obtained by the troupe, and the government will only collect taxes normally. ”

"I'm a little curious, have you ever been to the checkbar?" Gong Lingzhi asked.

He Qiu snorted lightly: "I don't disdain to go to that kind of place, and I'm not interested in your acrobatic operas." ”

"And what qualifications do you have?"

Gong Lingzhi said: "Vashe is only open to guests for free, for the sellers, the circle has to charge 20 wen rent, and a small stage in the hook bar has to charge 500 wen to the same money, all tickets are sold by the government instead, no matter how much money is sold, you have to draw 30% to the government, 10% to the audience, and 10% to pay taxes, and what really falls into the hands of the troupe, at most 50%. ”

He Qiu couldn't help but be moved, "Is that really the case?" ”

"If you don't believe it, go to Goolan Washeri and ask around, just find a showman, and you can tell you how dark it is here."

Gong Lingzhi said: "I have traveled to so many places, and there are the most corrupt officials in Suzhou City, trying their best to deduct their hard-earned money, and they also use their hands and feet against women......"

Lord He's ears were soft, and he couldn't hear the word "corrupt official" the most, and his face became more and more ugly.

Song Che squinted and smiled: "Lingzhi, you can't say that, our Suzhou prefect is a well-known Qing official, a scholar and a first, young and promising, with great ambitions. ”

"Not really!"

Gong Lingzhi scolded: "If you want me to say, the biggest corrupt official in Suzhou is your prefect, he issued a decree not to allow street performances, but he changed his methods to collect money in Vashe, and his appearance is simply ugly than a dog!" ”

Lord He not only has soft ears, but his face is as thin as cicada wings, he pressed his nails hard against the car window, and his old face was red with anger.

"When are you going to perform on stage?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Naturally, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival night on August 15," Lingzhi snorted lightly, rubbing his wrist that was still a little uncomfortable, "Don't you look down on us jugglers, and ask what you do during the show, do you still want to come?" I'm not necessarily going to welcome you. ”

He Qiu squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Wait for me." Jumping out of the carriage in a rage.

When He Qiu walked away, a carload of people finally couldn't hold back, and they covered their stomachs and laughed.

Lingzhi's big eyes were full of doubts, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Song Che waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just hope that the Mid-Autumn Festival will come soon, and that night will be very exciting and lively." ”

"When the time comes, my brothers and sisters must bring more people to cheer up, hehe......"

"Definitely, definitely."

I made an agreement with Ganoderma lucidum, and when I got to the intersection, we parted ways.

"Hey, husband, have you noticed that Lingzhi and Lord He are quite compatible." Shen Wenjun asked with a smile.

Song Che said with a smile: "People like He Qiu, if you flatter him, he doesn't want to see you, just to find a bad enemy to frustrate his arrogance." ”

"The moon is full on August 15 this year, and I hope it can also lead to a good marriage."

"Hehehe......"
