Chapter 168 Stop pretending

Losing money is a major event that male actors are bound to encounter in their lives. They start learning opera at a very young age. A large number of them, like Mei Zilan, became popular in their teens, but within two years they went through a period of voice change, and their voices became

It's low, rough and hoarse, and I can't even sing accurately.

Many people, without timely treatment and self-cultivation, have never recovered and can no longer sing.

There are also some people who, through unremitting efforts, can continue to sing opera after a few years, but it is difficult to regain their former glory.

People like Chen Youlin, who have worked hard for seven years and are late bloomers, are rare in the pear garden industry.

Mei Zilan has only been popular for half a year, but no one can bear it when it goes out of business so quickly.

"Your-throat?"

Two blows in a short period of time made Xibao almost incoherent.

However, Mei Zilan shook her head at her and tried her best to speak: "I don't know yet whether it was a liquidation of positions, or maybe I caught a cold——"

Before he could finish his words, Xibao came up and covered his mouth. Her eyes were filled with tears, which made anyone who saw her feel pitiful.

"Don't talk. Don't say a word from now on. Just keep your voice good. I'll ask someone to make pear juice for you when I get back. No, I'll make it for you myself. You will be fine. Do you understand?"

His master passed away, but Xibao still had to take care of Mei Zilan's emotions. I am afraid that Mei Zilan was the only one left in the world who understood her hard work.

So he didn't cry, didn't complain, and wasn't afraid.

He only showed Xibao a pair of smiling eyes and nodded to her gently.

Song Youzhen's funeral will be held five days later.

Transportation was inconvenient, news was poor, and Song Youzhen's popularity in the industry was not good. Apart from Tian Wuji and a few other acquaintances in Songjiang Prefecture, there were only a few relatives and friends who came from Tianjin Wei, and then there were the Ye Rongzhen faction.

Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen came to help the spirit return to Beijing, and the rest of the people who came to express condolences were all here for Xibao's sake.

Xibao has not eaten, drank or slept in the past few days, and has lost a lot of weight. When people come to meet him, he is almost unrecognizable.

Many people expressed regret over this, especially Yi Wenshun.

"Oh, dear mother, how could this happen?"

Xibao cannot stand up on his own, so he has to rely on others to help him when he salutes the mourners.

Yi Wen didn't ask her to get up, but knelt on the ground and talked to her.

"Mom, you have to express your condolences. If something happens to you, we theater fans won't be able to survive."

As he spoke, he looked at Xibao and saw that although she was so thin that her cheekbones were prominent and her eye sockets were sunken, she still had a somewhat sickly appearance. He felt that she must be a person with good bones to be called such a person.

What a beauty.

When he looked at Xibao, his eyes always seemed to be glued to her. Tan Xiaofu couldn't stand it, so he came forward and pulled him away, and even took the opportunity to pull off two of his beards.

Tang Manru came in person early in the morning.

Her status was special and it was not convenient for her to spend more time with her. She only left a few maids for Xibao to take care of her food and daily life. Fortunately, these few people were here, otherwise the Xibao you saw today would have been even more pitiful.

Ai Lingzhi and Li Xiangjun were the last to arrive, and they did not come at the same time. Ai Lingzhi saw Xibao's half-dead look and scolded her.

"Your master has passed away. It's right for you to be sad, but who are you right by putting yourself in this state? Meng Lizhu didn't drag us here to match you in the first place just to see you so worthless.

of!"

After scolding her, she left without even saying a word of rebuttal to the people at Xilianshe.

Li Xiangjun was coming even later. When she came, even the people in Xilianshe had gone to rest, leaving only Xibao still guarding the coffin.

She wore a pair of leather slip-on shoes that made a clicking sound when she walked, making it difficult not to attract Xibao's attention.

"Hey, you are so pitiful. If your master saw you like this, he would be heartbroken to death."

Although Xibao didn't like her, the visitor was a guest, so as the host of the funeral, she still had to get up and salute.

However, Li Xiangjun stepped forward and held her down.

"No, I'm not familiar with your master, so I came here specifically to see you."

As she spoke, she suddenly knelt down and smiled.

"Now that I see you half dead, I can't say how happy I am."

Xibao looked at her expressionlessly, and after a while, she smiled too.

Li Xiangjun was so embarrassed by her laughter.

"You are such an unfilial child, how can you still laugh after your master passed away?"

Xibao then turned away and stopped looking at her.

"It's you I'm laughing at."

"Laughing at me? What's so funny about me?"

"I'm laughing at you. You finally stopped pretending. How nice is that?"

Li Xiangjun smiled heartily, "You are right, I really don't plan to pretend anymore, because there is no need."

As she spoke, she circled around Song Youzhen's coffin, unable to suppress the joy in her heart.

"I really like your master. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get the powder company's advertisement so easily. And now that you can't sing, my original theater has turned to renew my contract. I

I also took this opportunity to increase my net worth significantly.”

As she spoke, she suddenly curled her lips with regret and said, "After all, your master is my lucky star. It's such a pity that he died so early."

Li Xiangjun deliberately wanted to make Xibao angry. She knew she would be her nemesis from the first time she saw her acting.

Before there was Xibao, she was the most popular actress in Songjiang Prefecture. Whatever good things other actresses in Songjiang Prefecture had, she would definitely have them early.

After Ke Xibao became popular, this situation changed instantly. Everyone called Liu Xibao's name all day long, and no one called her.

When the fragrance powder company wanted to find actresses to make advertising boxes, she had been fighting for it since early in the morning, but in the end, they actually agreed with her on Xibao.

How can she not be angry about this?

Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly, and the theater she cooperated with also came to find a job for her, saying that the boss had taken a liking to Xibao and wanted to invite her to sing at matinees.

Everyone has been there before, and no one knows that this is just an excuse. As she keeps singing, the matinee show will turn into a night show, and one day she will be squeezed in too.

How could she tolerate this? She could only use her influence to force the theater owner to give in, otherwise she would threaten to change theaters. Unexpectedly, she got the owner's wish and directly invited Xibao to sing at the nightclub.

How could she let it go, so she decided to make a time lag and go to Wu Feng Teahouse to force Xibao and the others away? The theater owner couldn't find anyone, so naturally he wanted to use her.

But she, Liu Xibao, actually came up with the idea of ​​singing "Man Jiang Hong" at Mr. Futai's birthday party, which really made her famous.

She actually became the number one actress in Songjiang Prefecture.

If Song Youzhen hadn't died so coincidentally on the day when the perfume company was making perfume boxes, this good thing wouldn't have happened to her.

And what a coincidence, her contract with the theater also expires today.

Now, because of Song Youzhen's funeral, Xibao couldn't even sing in the play at Wufeng Teahouse.

How could the theater afford it? So I had to beg her again and renew the contract for another year.

She is Li Xiangjun, a famous little fairy in Songjiang Mansion.

As long as she is willing to work hard to seize this opportunity, even if Xibao only remains silent for a few months, she will still have a way to call him by this name, and no such person will be found in Songjiang Mansion from now on...
