The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 199

[Chapter 199 Something happened in the theater]

Fang Mansion.

As soon as Fang Xiu got out of the carriage, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the mansion and circling back and forth.

So, he asked, “Mr. Sun, what happened?”

Old man Sun turned around with an anxious look on his face. The moment he saw Fang Xiu, he calmed down a little.

He quickly walked up to Fang Xiu, let out a long breath, and said, “Master, you are finally back!”

Fang Xiu had a certain understanding of Old Man Sun when he first met him, and he loved him. Pretending is real, and being calm is also real.

It must be no small matter to make him so anxious at his age.

“Don’t be anxious. If the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up. If you have anything to do, go in and tell me slowly.”

Fang Xiu comforted him and walked into Fang Mansion.

After hearing Fang Xiu’s words, Old Man Sun felt much more at ease and followed him in.

On the stone bench in the backyard, Fang Xiu looked at Old Man Sun standing in front of him and asked, “But there is something wrong with the theater?”

Old Man Sun shook his head, as if he had thought of something, and a look of anger appeared on his old face. Said: “Not only the theater, but also Chunfeng Tower and Zhuxuanzhai, everything happened!”

Fang Xiu’s face instantly darkened when he heard this, and asked: “What happened? Sit down first and talk slowly.”

As he spoke, he handed him a cup of tea.

Old man Sun took the tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: “As usual today, I asked Zhang Cheng to open the door of the theater.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, a group of rogues rushed in. They smashed tables, chairs and tables.

Zhang Cheng was beaten by them when he tried to protect the table. He is still lying on the bed. The doctor said that it is difficult to get out of bed in less than half a month.”

At this point, Old Man Sun’s eyes became a little cloudy. He was a lot older, but he choked like a child: “It’s useless, little old man. I can’t protect the child when I see him being pushed to the ground and beaten.”

Fang Xiu heard this As he spoke, a pair of eyes seemed to burst out of fire. He stood up in a hurry, slammed the stone table, and cursed: “A dog-like thing dares to hit my people!”

This kid Zhang Cheng, he had seen before. However, he came to the capital after escaping from the Central Plains. He was a loyal and honest person, and he was also very diligent in his work.

Several times when I went to the theater with Zhao Yan, he was always waiting on me. I didn’t expect that he would be beaten by an outsider in his own territory.

Not to mention, no matter how good-tempered he was, he would be furious and furious when he heard the news!

“Do you know who did this?”

Fang Xiu looked at Old Man Sun with a gloomy face and asked.

Old man Sun shook his head and said: “They are all a bunch of ruffians. I have never seen them before

. They said they would come over in the afternoon and asked us to prepare money. From now on, we will give them a shelter fee of ten taels of silver every month.

Come here .”

On the way, I heard that they also went to Chunfeng Tower and Zhuxuan Zhai, but Mr. Bai happened to be in Gujing Street at that time, so they didn’t take action.”

Fang Xiu became even more angry when he heard this.

This group of short-sighted guys actually dare to play these tricks on their own territory.

If you don’t teach them a lesson, you will really think that you, Zuo Zhonglang, are easy to bully!

Fang Xiu’s eyes became sharp and he said loudly: “Bai Xiaochun, prepare the car!”

Ticket office of the Capital Grand Theater.

Several men dressed as literary men looked at the ticket sellers inside, with angry looks on their faces, and asked: “Yesterday’s notice clearly stated that there will be three performances of “Nie Xiaoqian” this afternoon. Why did

you stop it?

Jingshi Grand Theater, do you still have credit?”

The ticket salesperson explained: “The latest notice outside said that due to force majeure, all performances today are canceled and the theater is temporarily closed.

Customers who have pre-purchased tickets can choose to change. Date, or refund, in addition, each person can also receive a hundred cash compensation.”

After hearing this, several men’s expressions softened slightly and asked: “When will it reopen?”

“Not until further notice.”

The men received a hundred pence in compensation with their ticket stubs, and left the Capital Grand Theater without any further entanglement.

On the way, a few people chatted.

“What’s going on with those people? They can’t make money even if they have money.”

“Who knows, I haven’t explained what force majeure is.”

“Whatever, have you heard that there are also new theaters in the north, west and suburbs of the city.

Wait until those theaters Once it is completed, the theater here will finish “Nie Xiaoqian” and launch a new series.”

“A new series?”

“Yes, it should also be adapted from Zhu Xuanzhai’s storybook.”

“It would be great if this happens. , I want to watch “The Deer and the Cauldron”! “

“The Romance of the West Chamber” and “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” have not been adapted yet, which one will get “The Deer and the Cauldron”?”

Similar conversations were frequently performed in front of the Beijing Grand Theater, and countless people were full of expectations. I wanted to watch the new episode of “Nie Xiaoqian”, but I was told that it had to be postponed due to some force majeure factors.

People who wanted to watch the theater suddenly had nowhere to go, and after cursing a few words, they had no choice but to go home.

At this time, several stewards gathered together in the theater, frowning.

“Mr. Ma, it’s not an option for us to just close the door like this. These days are the premieres of the new episode of “Nie Xiaoqian”. If we don’t open the door for a day, the audience will feel even more resentful.

If things go on like this, even if the new drama we launch is no longer It’s attractive, but it can’t be as hot as it is now,”

a young actor said with a frown.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes were focused on the only old man in the room.

There is no doubt that Mr. Fang is the biggest in the theater, followed by Mr. Sun, who is usually in charge.

When Mr. Fang and Mr. Sun were both away from the theater, the only one who had the right to speak was Mr. Ma, whom Mr. Sun had invited back from Goulan in the north of the city.

Before Mr. Ma could speak, a young and energetic actor pounded the table and said angrily: “These shady beasts, we have only had enough to eat for a few days, and they have bad intentions. We

can’t hand over the script .”

, this is what Mr. Fang gave us. It is more important than life. If you want to buy it for just one tael of silver, what is the difference between this and robbing!

Anyway, without the theater, everyone will not have a good life. If you ask me, it is better to fight with them. It’s a fight to the death!”

“Don’t be impulsive,”

a female actor said, “Don’t forget, the theater belongs to Mr. Fang, and with Mr. Fang’s support, it

doesn’t matter if a group of ruffians take action .

One thing.”

The old man with a gray beard, known as Mr. Ma, nodded when he heard this and said: “Master Fang has the final say in everything. Let’s do our part. I believe Mr. Fang will find a way. “
