Chapter 445: Benefit

Mo Xiaobei is a child from the slums of Beicheng. At that time, Lin Zhaoxia wanted to find a few clever children to rehearse the show, and the shopkeeper of the North and South grocery stores recommended Mo Xiaobei.

Lin Zhaoxia wants to rehearse the flying dance, and he wants to find actors to play the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, and it is easy to find people in the music square, but at the age of seven or eight, he is clever and can look at his eyes, but it is difficult to find children who have the desire to perform.

The children of rich and noble families are clever and courageous, but they will not do such things as entertaining the public.

Most of the children of poor families are cowardly, have little knowledge, and can't let go in front of nobles. Lin Zhaoxia spent a lot of effort looking for a young actor at that time.

After looking around among the children of the servants of the palace and not finding a satisfactory one, I later went to the troupe to look around, only to find a child called Xiaoguozi who was sold to the troupe by his family since he was a child, and bought him.

The child is in charge of the water pot in the troupe, responsible for boiling water and handing water to the actors, handing handkerchiefs and bath beans, etc., which are such tasks as washing face, removing makeup, and running errands.

bought him, he didn't dare to look up at Lin Zhaoxia at all, and he couldn't let go of the play when he told him, he was very clever, and his hands and feet were also sharp, but he had a natural fear of nobles, and he was afraid to act, Lin Zhaoxia was a little dissatisfied.

After two days of rehearsals, Mo Xiaobei was recommended.

Mo Xiaobei's family background is not good, since he was a child, he has been looking for a job in the capital with his brothers and sisters, nodding at the nobles, flattering and saying good things, he is very good at looking at people's faces, and he is also timid. I heard that if he performed a show in the Huixian Building, he would be rewarded if he performed well, and half of it would be returned to him, and he couldn't wait to follow the rehearsal at twelve o'clock.

Eat well and live well in Yue Wangfu, there are pastries to eat from time to time, there is a salary, no one beats and scolds, there is no need to run around looking for work, Mo Xiaobei is very serious about learning.

also drove the small pots, and the two children competed to learn, and soon achieved results.

Lin Zhaoxia imitates the AB system used by the troupe, the main actors are generally rehearsed by two actors and rotated, but A is the main one, and when A can't play, or there are more performances, B is replaced to let A rest. AB rotates between the two.

First, in case A gets sick or can't play for some reason, having B to replace it can also ensure that the whole show can't be performed due to the absence of the main character.

"The Adventures of Little Stones" is based on Mo Xiaobei.

"If I didn't have a small pot, I would have gotten more silver!" Mo Xiaobei proudly showed his parents his achievements these days.

Mo Xiaobei's parents looked at the silver on the table, surprised and delighted. These silver coins, they have saved all their lives, may not be able to save. Mo Xiaobei's father carried a big bag outside, helped people carry goods, and his labor for a day was only twenty or thirty yuan.

His son's reward for three days was the silver he could not earn in his life.

Father Mo bent his fingers and flicked to the door of his youngest son's head, "There is no small pot, you have already laid down, can you still go on stage with this voice?" ”

Mo Xiaobei hoarsely voiced, "I'll just drink cold medicine." ”

"Good fart. delayed the matter of the prince and princess, see if you can still be used. ”

Mo Xiaobei hung his head and thought of Xiao Guozi, he was the same age as himself, although his family was poor, but his parents and brothers and sisters were by his side, but Xiao Guozi was sold by his family since he was a child, and he couldn't remember what his parents and relatives looked like now.

He went on more tables than the small pot, and got more reward than the small pot, he wanted to give some to the small pot, but the small pot was not wanted, so he only let him take it home and save it at home.

Mo Xiaobei felt that it was wrong for him to squeeze out the small pot in his selfish heart. Grabbed a grain of broken silver from the baggage, "I'll invite a small pot to eat our delicious North Lane tomorrow." ”

Mo Xiaobei's parents also felt sorry for the child named Xiao Guozi, and Mo's father stuffed two grains of silver into his arms, "In a few days, Xianlou will sell morning tea, you take Xiao Guozi to eat morning tea." ”

Mo Xiaobei's brother and sister stared at the silver on the table, their eyes longing, "We also want to eat." ”

"Eat a fart, can't the food at home satisfy you? Can't eat the steamed buns sold in North Lane? ”

Dream it all out. I also thought of the Huixian Mansion of the nobles everywhere to eat. He quickly put away the burden on the table and carried it into the house.

Huixian Building, the adventures of the little stone were performed for three days in a row, and the show was changed.

Throughout the New Year's Festival, there are several programs upstairs in Huixian, including song and dance dramas, melodramas, literary dramas, and martial arts. Some say that children are abducted, some say that noble daughters elope, some say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are related, and some say that they protect their families and defend the country.

Where have the people in Beijing seen such a show, although the storytelling has a story, but there is no character performance, although the troupe has a performance, there are dialogues, singing lyrics and stories, but not everyone can understand it, and not everyone likes to watch it.

Where is it like the show of Huixianlou, floating around, fighting in the air, there are stunts and stories, hooking people's emotions, and fascinating.

The threshold of the Huixian Building is large, and it has been repaired twice during the New Year.

The first time I went to Beijing to visit relatives and friends, I couldn't tell whether Huixian Tower was a theater garden or a place to eat.

On the fifth floor of the Huixian Building, in the private room exclusive to the owner, Jiang Li grinned and reported the situation to Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia these days.

"Lord and Princess, should we open another drama garden? Our shows are too lively and prosperous, but they cover our serious eating business. We have a good show, a good tea, and a master who is good at doing white cases, and then we open a drama garden, sell tea and pastries, and make a lot of money. ”

Lin Zhaoxia's hand flipping through the ledger paused, and glanced at Zhao Guangyuan.

Zhao Guangyuan raised his eyelids from the script, gave her a look back, and his gaze fell on the script again.

Lin Zhaoxia said to Jiang Li: "Forget it, we are eye-catching enough, let's keep a low profile." There's no end to the money. ”

A Huixian Lou let the major restaurants come to accuse them of not being a person, and then open a drama garden, and grab food with those tricksters, Lin Zhaoxia was a little unbearable.

Neither he nor Zhao Guangyuan's purpose is to make money from suppressing their peers.

Their purpose isn't to make more money either. Huixian Tower is just a means and process for them to achieve their ends.

Jiang Li was a little pity, "Yes, I listen to the prince and princess." ”

Lin Zhaoxia saw that he looked regretful, so he explained two sentences, "After all, your prince is a royal man, and it is not good for him to compete with the people for profit. At the beginning, the meeting was held because everyone said that he was poor, and the palace was dilapidated and had no money to repair, so this restaurant was opened. ”

"Yes, it's a little superficial." Jiang Li's face burned.

"Don't be presumptuous, since the opening of the Huixian Building, you have worked hard to run the Huixian Building into what it is today, I and the prince both see it in our eyes, the prince doesn't say it, but he remembers your credit in his heart."

"Princess......" Jiang Li choked up, there is nothing more exciting than making efforts to be recognized.

"You've worked hard. If you start late this year, you will get less dividends, and next year, I will give you more points. ”

"No, no, no, the small ones have taken enough this year, and the shopkeeper of the Yingbin Building of Wanfu Building has not taken much smaller ones in a year."

Jiang Li took a thousand taels of silver dividends at the end of the year, his hands were trembling with excitement at that time, Huixian Mansion had only been open for just four months, and he could get so many dividends, he couldn't think of it in the past. He has been doing things for so many years, and it is the first time he has received so many dividends.

"You run the Huixian Mansion well, that's what you deserve. Keep up the good work this year, and don't disappoint me and the princess to live up to the expectations I expect from you. Zhao Guangyuan said.

"Yes! A small one tries hard by all means! "He will live up to the expectations of the prince and princess for him!

Seeing Jiang Xiang leave excitedly, Lin Zhaoxia withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Guangyuan with a smile, he now has a good grasp of people's hearts, and his subordinates and stewards are eager to dig out their hearts and lungs for him.

Yang raised the account book in his hand, "It's been ten days and a half months, and the money earned is already eye-catching, and your palace will definitely be able to be repaired this year." ”

"My palace?"

"Our palace." Lin Zhaoxia laughed. "Do you want to go to the Dongsheng pawnshop again with great fanfare and return the borrowed silver?"

"The repair of the mansion is bound to be repaired this year, how to say that my Yue Wangfu used to be the most prosperous and the most extensive in the capital, and its reputation cannot be ruined. Pay back the silver, and don't pay it back first, how long will the fairy building be opened, not only to repair the king's mansion, but also to repay the silver, less than a year to earn 300,000 taels, to be jealous. ”

It's better not to be too public.

"Then continue to make money quietly. These days, several programs are invited by many people to perform at home, and they can collect hundreds of taels a day. ”

I didn't expect it to be quite profitable. If you can't set up a theater garden, you can make a lot of money by setting up a performance team and letting them perform at the homes of officials and nobles.

Zhao Guangyuan remembered that she was writing scripts and watching people rehearse, and she had to do everything herself, "Don't be too tired, the money we earn, the grandchildren can't eat it while lying down." ”

"I'm just looking for something to do."

The affairs of the palace and the social interactions outside have kept her busy, but she doesn't want to lose her job. After all, it was her livelihood.

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at her deeply, "Okay, it's good if you're happy." ”

raised the notebook in his hand, and his eyes fell on the stack of notebooks on the table again, "I have collected so many books, which is enough for you to rehearse." ”

Lin Zhaoxia smiled, "They were luckier than me, I handed someone else a notebook at the time, and I didn't even say anything if I couldn't get the money, and I didn't even respond." ”

She gave money for these books, regardless of whether she would rehearse in the end, and if she took it to rehearsal in the end, she would give a sum of money.

"I know that you are collecting books now, and the students in the library are no longer drawing, and they are rewriting scripts."

"I also collect paintings, the comic strips we put in the building, the paintings with a complete story, are very popular with children, and a book sells for more than three or five taels of silver."

Students who can write books are not necessarily Danqing, and it is extremely difficult for the village to provide a reader to come out. Picture books are also sold much more expensive than word books.

Placed in the Huixian Building, it is most liked by the youngest children. Diners who come to eat, when they see picture books, will also pay money to buy one or two for the children at home.

"Your ideas have benefited many students a lot. In private, I remember Princess Yue's love. ”

Lin Zhaoxia raised his eyebrows at him, a little proud. Seeing her look the same as her appearance, Zhao Guangyuan laughed.

Thinking of his son, "What about the elder solstice?" ”

I owe a thousand, and I will make it up tomorrow
