Steel Dynasty - Chapter 289

[Chapter 289 Actor]

The snow in Qingzhou gradually melted, and a touch of warmth spread at noon.

In Dongshi, people watching the theater had gathered on three floors inside and three floors outside, and bursts of cheers could be heard from time to time under the stage.

When they saw the hatred coming out, the people gritted their teeth and wanted to rush onto the stage and beat Huang Shiren to death.

In this drama, they saw the shadow of their past. Once upon a time, they were bullied by the wealthy and had to sell their sons and daughters.

“Beat Huang Shiren to death, beat him to death!”

When the drama reached its climax, the people suddenly shouted, and the loud voice made Xiao Ming’s eardrums vibrate for a while.

Like the common people, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu’s expressions also change as the plot changes, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes angry.

When the drama ended and Huang Shiren was beaten to death, huge cheers finally sounded in Dongshi.

“It’s so relieved that Huang Shiren is finally dead.”

“Hey, it’s better for us in Qingzhou, otherwise who would dare to act in such a drama, and only our Highness can tolerate it.”

“No, this Huang Shiren is a powerful man. In the past Whoever dares to perform this in a busy city has to thank His Highness. If His Highness hadn’t driven away the wealthy families in these six states, we would be Yang Bailao now. ” “That’s

right

. This play is good and deserves a reward.”

, the common man took out three copper coins from his sleeves and threw them towards the stage.

As soon as the three coins were thrown, the coins fell on the stage like rain, which made the three actors on the stage stunned for a moment.

They had never performed in Qingzhou before, and never had so many people rewarded them with money. It was good to earn thirty copper coins every year.

But now, just for a moment, the ground was covered with copper coins. In a short time, there were thousands of copper coins.

The people in the front gave the reward and left. At this time, the people in the back stepped forward and threw coins on the stage. Many people shouted: “Well done, it is much better than the previous show.”

“Your Highness, Can I give them a reward?” Zhao Long said at this time.

Xiao Ming was startled, then recovered and nodded with a smile. Zhao Hu said teasingly: “You kid won’t fall in love with this little lady, but this little lady is quite pretty.”

Zhao Long said numbly. His face suddenly turned red, and he argued: “Don’t talk nonsense and ruin other people’s reputation.”

Zhao Hu said carelessly: “What kind of reputation can an actor have?”

Zhao Long glared at Zhao Hu, and Zhao Hu suddenly became confused. Dare to speak.

Xiao Ming watched the two brothers bickering with great interest. The young lady who played Xi’er was indeed very charming. It is common in modern times to fall in love with the heroine because she is fascinated by drama.

This Zhao Long seems to be Dayu’s version of a star-chasing group, but unlike modern times, the status of actors in Dayu is very low, even inferior to craftsmen.

Because of this, Zhao Hu would be rude.

Seeing Zhao Long put the copper coins on the stage and glanced shyly at the young lady, Xiao Ming and Zhao Hu laughed.

However, Xiao Ming felt that he needed to talk to this troupe, so he said: “Zhao Hu, let this troupe come to the palace to see me!”

“Yes.” Zhao Hu nodded.

Zhao Long came back, and the two sent Xiao Ming to the palace.

After that, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu left the palace and came to Dongshi again.

On the way, Zhao Long asked worriedly: “Why did Your Highness summon Chen Laoshi’s theater troupe? Did this play anger His Highness?”

“When did you become so stupid? This play was created by Your Highness, how could you anger Him?” “Angry to His Highness?”

“It was His Highness who created it, so it angered His Highness. They must not have acted well enough,” Zhao Long said.

Zhao Hu sighed, pinched his waist and said: “Erlang, you really don’t have a crush on that little lady, do you? What does it have to do with Chen Laoshi’s troupe? What does it have to do with you? Just carry out His Highness’s orders!”

Zhao Long was killed by Zhao Hu Reprimanded, he had to nod his head.

In Dongshi, the troupe was counting the money they had gained this time. The woman who played Xi’er had taken off her costume and put on a simple linen dress. She said to the thin middle-aged man who was happily counting the copper coins: ” Dad, how much is the total?”

The thin middle-aged man was Teacher Chen. He turned his face and narrowed his slender eyes. “Your name is Xi’er. The girl in this play is also called Xi’er. It seems that God has destined you to play this Xi’er. We have made a fortune this time, three thousand copper coins, which is three taels of silver.”

Everyone else in the troupe became excited. They made three taels of silver in one day, so wouldn’t this be enough in a month? To earn hundreds of taels of silver.

In the past, the troupe lived in the open, but now it has undergone a huge transformation.

“Thanks to Miss Zi Wan for all this. If she hadn’t taught me, our troupe wouldn’t be like this. Dad, why don’t I buy some things for Miss Zi Wan tonight and express my feelings.”

“Yeah, that’s right. We must repay our kindness.”

At this time, the middle-aged man who played Huang Shiren said: “Miss Ziyuan is from Prince Qi’s palace. Why is she short of things? Let’s not make fun of her. We should divide the money among ourselves.

“

Forget it, I don’t need anything.”

“Wu San, what you said is wrong. It’s Miss Ziyuan’s business. Whether or not to give it away is our own business. How can we not be honest?”

If you’re starving to death, why don’t you have any sense of shame? Let’s share the money quickly.” Wu San said with his triangular eyes open.

While the three of them were talking, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu walked behind the stage. Zhao Hu said, “Chen Laoshi, His Highness King Qi invites you!”

“His Royal Highness King Qi!” Chen Laoshi was surprised, “Who are you?”

Zhao Long said, “We are the close bodyguards of His Highness King Qi, please come with us.”

While speaking, Zhao Long looked at Chen Xi’er, His eyes flickered. He had just been amazed by Chen Xier’s performance. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional, as if the person in front of him was the person in the play.

Chen Laoshi’s face turned pale with fright. He trembled and grabbed a handful of copper coins and brought them over. “Two officials, why did His Highness summon us?”

Zhao Hu said, “You will know this after you go to the palace. You should take this money back.” Go ahead, our Prince Qi’s house doesn’t want to do this.”

“Dad, just listen to the two officials.” Chen Xi’er said calmly, “Sister Ziyuan is here, so she won’t make things difficult for us.”

Chen Laoshi looked a little bit. He was so pale that he could only nod his head, while Wu San was so frightened that his face turned pale.

“Please!”

Zhao Hu made a gesture of invitation and walked towards the palace. Chen Laoshi and others hurriedly packed their things and followed.

When they arrived at Prince Qi’s Mansion, Zhao Hu led a group of people to the main hall. Chen Laoshi was shocked when he saw the man sitting in the middle of the main hall.

He seemed to have seen this face in the crowd when he was performing just now.

At this time, I couldn’t help but feel even more worried.
