But even though it was so difficult, Mei Zilan never forgot to encourage Xibao.

At this moment, Tan Xiaofu saw Xibao being so sad, and suddenly he clenched a letter hidden behind his back.

He usually disliked the whispers between Xibao and Mei Zilan, but now that Mei Zilan actually asked him to hand over this letter, he was really unwilling to do so.

But now that Xibao was so sad, he couldn't bear it again. After much hesitation, he took out the letter and handed it to Xibao.

"He asked me to give it to you. He said he hoped you would cheer up after reading the letter."

…

Although he was extremely reluctant to part with him, Xibao could not return to the capital.

Mei Zilan, the big moneymaker, is gone. If she also returns to Beijing, the life of Xilianshe will only become more difficult.

The theater troupe didn't mind that she was a woman, they provided her with food and clothing, and asked her to study opera for so many years. Wasn't it just that she could give back to the theater troupe this day?

If she gave up everything for her own selfish desires, not even Song Youzhen's spirit in heaven would forgive her.

Just like this, spring passed and autumn came, with flowers in summer and snow in winter. Unknowingly, Xibao spent three years in Songjiang Mansion with Shangya Class. During this period, he also saw off Xiao Yonghua and Tan who were returning to Beijing to sing operas due to the end of their filial piety period.

Xiaofu and the others.

She was supposed to go back together, but Tian Wuji wrote to Ye Rongzhen, stating that Xibao's achievements in Beijing opera were extraordinary and should not be buried in the capital. Song Youzhen was no longer here. He asked Ye Rongzhen to consider carefully and let Xibao pass the exam in advance.

Officially joined his Shangya class.

Xibao has made a lot of money for Xilianshe in the past two years, and has already paid off her expenses for the year.

Ye Rongzhen was not a stubborn person. Of course he knew that Xibao would have a way out if he continued to stay with Tian Wuji in Songjiang Mansion, so he immediately agreed.

But Xibao did not agree. Although she moved to Hetian Wuji and the others, she insisted on retaining her identity as a student of Xilian Society, and still divided most of the money she earned and sent it back to Ye Rongzhen.

But Ye Rongzhen was a man of his own words and would not accept the offer even if the conditions were difficult, not to mention that now that the troupe was singing, there was no shortage of money, so he returned all the money.

Xibao had no choice but to say that it was a financial aid, and agreed that after seven years of admission, all the money he earned would be given to the troupe. If he had to pay for the full seven years, any minute or second he missed would be considered a breach of contract.

Because Xibao has always been stubborn in his heart.

She knew that she had never really integrated into Xilianshe. The only connection between her and Xilianshe was Song Youzhen. As long as she still maintained this connection, it would be as if Song Youzhen was still alive.

She felt that Song Youzhen would also want her to do this.

A while ago, there were overwhelming gunshots, as if there was a war everywhere. Tang Manru had taken her to a foreign concession early to take refuge, and barely escaped.

That day, she stood in front of the window and read the fresh newspapers, and realized that the world had changed.

The emperor is no longer called emperor, he is called president instead.

The new government issued many edicts. The new capital city was established in Jinling City. Beijing was no longer the capital city. Songjiang Prefecture was also changed to Shanghai. From now on, there will be no prefecture and that prefecture will be called a province or a city.

What makes Xibao and other female actors most happy is that men and women are equal and women can also sing on stage.

They also gave the Mao'er Opera a new name, called Kun Opera, and the actress who sang Mao'er Opera was called Kun Jiao'er.

Kun play?

Kun Jiaoer?

Xibao recited these two words silently in his heart a hundred times, and still felt very good.

"Senior brother," Xibao turned around and looked at Wen Zhongjun who opened the door and walked in, "it's time to go back to Beijing."

"Ah? What?"

Wen Zhongjun had a look of astonishment on his face. He was holding a box of newly made Diancui Tou noodles in his hand, which Xibao wanted to give to Mei Zilan.

Mei Zilan was lucky. After returning to the capital for more than a year to recuperate, she was able to sing opera again.

But Wu Yuexian was not so lucky. Ever since he was too busy rehearsing for Mei Zilan, which caused him to liquidate his position prematurely, he had been talking about it all day long. He often secretly helped Mei Zilan to turn down his job, and did not ask him to take over the theater troupe.

He was worried that his voice would be damaged by fatigue again.

Ye Rongzhen talked to him several times and asked him not to affect Mei Zilan's reputation, but he just couldn't make sense.

Later, Ye Rongzhen had no choice but to find someone else to take care of Mei Zilan, so that Wu Yuexian would no longer be involved in Mei Zilan's affairs.

Wu Yuexian fell into despair and returned to the dull, silent person that Xibao first met. To be precise, he was even more miserable than he was then.

He was completely lifeless.

Of course this is not Mei Zilan's fault, but it is ultimately because of him.

So the students in the theater troupe always make irresponsible remarks about this.

In the long run, Mei Zilan will indeed not be able to stay in Xilianshe.

This year he just graduated from college, and a well-known fan named Feng Er came to him and said that he wanted to be his manager and make him a real famous actor, so he decided not to work and followed Feng Er.

The fifteenth day of next month is a good day, and Mei Zilan will sing his first performance after being discharged from the hospital.

The set of Cuitou Noodles in Wen Zhongjun's hands was specially prepared by Xibao to give him a show-off.

"Are you kidding me, boss! We performed well in Shanghai, but we didn't make enough money, or we didn't make enough friends with the powerful, so we have to go back to Beijing and start from scratch?"

Wen Zhongjun really doesn't want to go back to Beijing. He has too many bad memories there.

And although Beijing is no longer the capital of the country, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the former dignitaries have not yet moved away.

It's different over there than in Shanghai. Here in Shanghai, if you have money, you are considered an uncle, but over there, you pay more attention to who your ancestors are for three generations.

As Liu Xibao's manager, Wen Zhongjun is now at home in Shanghai. How many upper-class people want to call him "Boss Wen" and call him brother-in-law when they see him?

But if he returns to the capital, he will be nothing.

Xibao didn't care what he was thinking, she was already packing her things at the moment.

"I don't care. You said you would be a cow and a horse for me in this life. Now I want to go back, won't you come with me?"

Wen Zhongjun was really dumbfounded this time.

"Do you really want to go back?"

"Well, if we go back and leave now, we can still catch up with Xijun on stage. Do you think I will take this face backstage in person, will he be shocked?"

Wen Zhongjun was not happy, so he threw the noodles in his hand on the table, leaned against the table and coldly snorted: "I knew you were doing it for this kid! Please save it, I'm not called Xijun now, but Wan instead."

Excuse me. He doesn't even want the word "Xi" in your Xizhike family. It's clear that he doesn't want anything to do with old people like you.

Besides, you haven’t seen each other for three years, so he might have even forgotten what you look like."

"Don't be a villain! Wanqing is Zilan's name, and I came up with the word Wan in the middle for him. Besides, even if he has any grudges with Xilian Society, it's because someone in the theater troupe betrayed him.

He has never failed a troupe."

Xibao just packed his things and didn't care what Wen Zhongjun said.

Her saying that she wanted to go back and give gifts to Mei Zilan was just an excuse.

What she really wants to see is for Yuwen Shike to fall from the altar.

Now that there is no emperor and no court, he, the emperor's favorite, should be useless.
