Singing Hall

The master and the apprentice were scolding each other fiercely, but the master and apprentice Liu Xi looked very happy on the other side.

Li Jinshui even spat loudly and said: "Bah! You two are just bad guys who don't want to save you. Do you deserve to listen to a cow singing to the sky? Stop being lazy and quickly take it on and go to the market on the street!"

The market is open in the county, and it takes an hour's walk from Shouwang Village where Old Man Li is.

This event only happens at the end of every month, and this big event is the last one of the year. In a few days, the New Year will be coming, and everyone has to rest. If you want to buy anything, you have to wait until the end of February.

Being bored on the road, Liu Tielan chatted with Li Jinshui and asked about his experience.

"Boss Li, I heard that after you stopped singing, you went to the countryside to buy property and buy a cow to make a living. How did you manage to come to Vladivostok? Still - still -"

"If you want to ask about my legs, just ask. There's no need to be so frightened."

Li Jinshui put his hands into his pocket, closed his eyes and let Liu Xi push him.

Liu Tielan followed his words and asked: "What about your legs -"

The old man raised his eyebrows, but he didn't hide it anymore. He curled his lips and sneered, and said nonchalantly: "If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, just ask someone to beat you."

Liu Tielan hesitated for a while, thinking that this incident must not have happened in the capital, otherwise there would be no news about such a big event in Liyuanxing.

So he asked again: "But I heard that you are married and have a daughter. Why don't you see them now?"

As soon as he finished asking this question, the old man narrowed his eyes and immediately looked bad. He said casually: "If the female college student didn't get admitted, I don't know where she would have died! Do you still expect her to take care of me? As for my old woman, her life is not good.

, died early, and now I am alone."

When Liu Xi heard this, he felt that Li Jinshui was very pitiful. He couldn't help but tighten Li Jinshui's scarf and comforted him: "Master, don't be sad, you will have me in the future."

Li Jinshui opened his eyes, looked at Liu Xi lovingly, and patted her hand.

"Good boy, learn the opera well from the master. The master will not treat you badly. When Mr. Gao's family in the county wants to listen to the opera on the first day of the new year, the master will take you to the singing hall."

Several people were walking well, and when they heard this, they were all shocked.

Shen Liangjun couldn't believe it.

"The first day of the Lunar New Year? Isn't it about ten days away? After just a few days of studying opera, can I go on stage?"

"Then what's wrong? I can't sing the main character, so go to Song Xing'er in "Cinnabar Well"!"

The old man said casually, and Liu Xi became a little concerned.

"Song Xing'er? Isn't that a baby boy? Master, don't you want to teach me how to sing a flower-faced opera?"

"nature."

Li Jinshui then comforted Liu Xi and said: "There is a painted face opera "Cinnabar Well", but Liu Biao is tall and tall, so it is not suitable for you to act. If you want to learn opera, our master and apprentice will have a long life in the future. Master is slow

I'm just going to teach you slowly. It's just that the rich man's family in the first year of junior high school is short of a baby boy. Aren't you just the right one? Why don't you do this favor for Master first and let you enjoy the drama?"

Liu Xi was naturally happy to be able to perform on stage.

Besides, Song Xing'er didn't have many scenes and no arias. They were all read by Jing Bai, so she could handle it.

After all, she is just a girl, and if she goes on stage to sing in such a grand manner, isn't Li Jinshui afraid that someone will report her to the government?

Liu Xi felt uneasy and couldn't help but look at Liu Tielan beside him.

Liu Tielan also muttered the same, and asked the old man on behalf of Liu Xi: "Master, have you forgotten that Xi Yatou is a girl, so let her go on stage to sing in an opera, just in case the government finds out——"

"It doesn't matter, it's not a female doll. The rich man doesn't want it."

"What?"

Liu Tielan and the other three said in unison.

Li Jinshui quickly changed his words and said: "You just came here and you don't know the customs here. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away in this damn place. Besides, it has not been the boundary of the imperial court since the past two years. The Rakshasa Kingdom does not care about any boys or girls.

Yes, how can there be such a rule? As long as you can sing well and make the rich man happy, that is the most important thing."

After hearing what he said, the three of them felt relieved.

Isn’t that what happened?

Since it is no longer under the control of the imperial court, how can there be any rule that women cannot perform on stage and sing in operas?

After settling the matter of Liu Xi's performance on stage, Liu Tielan also took action, came up to Li Jinshui, and asked tentatively: "Boss Li, look at the hall meeting on the first day of the new year, there is still a shortage of people."

What? We, the master and the apprentice, one is an old lady and the other is a colorful lady, so they just happen to go to the Queen Mother and Liu's matchmaker."

When I heard that I had the opportunity to sing in an opera, and it was a big opera like "Cinnabar Well", and it was performed for a wealthy man, I would definitely get a lot of rewards.

Shen Liangjun's eyes also became sharp, staring straight at Li Jinshui.

Li Jinshui didn't choke this time, and nodded: "Of course, what else do you think I'm doing by leaving you here?"

After hearing this, the three masters and disciples were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Li Jinshui.

Even Shen Liangjun had no complaints against him at all.

However, within half an hour, his gratitude to the old man had completely disappeared.

At this moment, he was holding two sets of bedding in his hands, holding the empty Niu Jingtian on his back, and stood in front of a firecracker shop with Liu Xi and Liu Tielan for a while and complained.

"If you don't ask this old cow to pull something, why do you have to pull it out? Isn't this just torturing people?"

Liu Xi felt sorry and wanted to pick up a set of bedding and share it with Shen Liangjun.

"Elder brother, please stop complaining. Master said that Niu Mingtian is his favored cow and cannot do such rough work. He brought it out specifically to let it take a walk. If you are tired, just hold it for me and rest first.

Later."

Unexpectedly, Shen Liangjun refused to give it.

"No, no, no, no, you are now Mr. Li Jinshui's apprentice. I can't afford to be your senior brother."

As he spoke, he glared at Niu Jingtian, who was munching weeds on the roadside with his head bent over the snow, and hummed softly: "Where is your dear senior brother!"

As soon as he complained like this, he started chattering non-stop.

"It's really comfortable to say that you are a master. After learning the opera, you can't do chores, hurt your hands, or tire yourself out. He is even afraid that your face will freeze, so he will give you a new leather hat along with it.

A set of clothes was made, and even the singing outfit was tailor-made.

There's just a little Song Xing'er, which theater troupe doesn't have any of his outfits in their suitcase, yet they still have to tailor-make them for you?

To me, it doesn’t look like I’m sending my apprentice off to perform on stage for the first time, it looks like I’m marrying off my daughter!”

"Okay!"

After Liu Tielan got over her addiction to smoking, she came back and took over a set of bedding from Shen Liangjun.

"Don't bite Lu Dongbin like the dog here. Boss Li kindly took us in and gave us a chance to sing. He was worried that we would get cold in the west wing and spent a lot of money to buy us new bedding. What else are you dissatisfied with?

I think you are blaming Sang and Huai, blaming me as a useless master for not being able to give you such good treatment, right?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood Master, how could I think so?"

Shen Liangjun knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he quickly changed the subject, looked at the firecracker shop and said: "But you said that Boss Li has been in there for so long, what are you discussing? When I was just cleaning up Xi'er's room, I went to his room to borrow a rag.

But after taking a quick look, I saw that the firecrackers in his house are enough to last until next year, so why did he come to buy them again?"
