Rebirth of the Republic of China

Shao Xintang felt that it was a big headache. An unknown amount of huge debts was already very annoying, but now he was still favored by a warlord. It was simply unlucky.

Closed doors will inevitably lead to perdition, and people must live in society.So after struggling all night, Shao Xintang decided to go out to seek her own way of liberation.

The location of the "Red Ink" theater troupe is a bit off. In an old one-story house in an alley on Shenyang North Street, several courtyards occupying a large area were bought by the troupe owner to connect them into a small half-day street.

The sun is sunny, the blue sky is as bright and clear as if it has been washed by water, the breeze in early summer blows the wicker gently, in the yard several children in the troupe are training various skills, and there is a master holding a bamboo ruler Tap it from time to time.

When Shao Xintang came out of her small yard, she saw such a lively scene. The worries and doubts she had had for the past few days dissipated a lot unconsciously, and she walked over involuntarily.

Lu Hai was teaching a disciple. He saw the disciple winking at him constantly. When he looked back, he saw Shao Xintang standing in the shadow of the tree. His facial features under the mottled leaves were extremely delicate and beautiful. He was watching the child practicing kung fu attentively.

"Mr. Shao." Lu Hai hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Shao Xintang: "Are you feeling better?"

When Shao Xintang heard the voice, she turned her head and saw Lu Hai, who was five or sixty years old and had a white beard on his chin, but was in good spirits. He didn't know how to address him, so he nodded slightly and said, "It's much better."

Shao Xintang thought it was impolite to speak without his name, but he didn't know that in the eyes of others, he was already extremely eager today.

Shao Xintang was favored by Commander Yu, who didn't know that he hung himself from the beam the night before he went to Commander's Mansion, now that he died once, and came out again, he probably figured it out a bit.And just because of Shao Xintang's attractive appearance, he might become someone's darling one day, and of course everyone wants to curry favor now.

Thinking that he just happened to be in a good mood, how could Lu Hai not take this opportunity to chat a little more, to communicate with this young man who doesn't know his future...

Lu Hai turned his mind around, chose the most conservative topic, and said with a smile: "When will Mr. Shao come on stage, theater fans must be crazy to listen to your drama these days."

When it comes to singing, it is definitely Shao Xintang's favorite.This is not only Shao Xintang's career, but also his life value.

In his previous life, he was born in a famous family. His father is an expert in Chinese drama research, and his mother is a well-known drama actor. The parents' expectations are placed on their three sons, but only Nie Shuyang is interested in drama. The two older brothers in the family are at a sensible age. Later, they all refused to continue studying drama.The eldest brother later became a brain doctor, and the second brother opened a foreign trade company, both of which were considered minor achievements.Shao Xintang was the only one who insisted on studying drama, and finally succeeded, but he really didn't know anything except drama.Therefore, for him, drama represents not only a profession, but also his pride.Hearing Lu Hai's words, he couldn't help thinking of the movie fans in his previous life, feeling very disappointed, and replied casually, "I don't know yet."

"Mr. Shao is not well enough to be on the stage, but he can listen to the opera. Tonight, Yuegui will play The Story of the Hairpin in the theater. Would Mr. Shao be interested?"

In fact, after saying this, Lu Hai felt a little regretful, secretly thinking that he had forgotten what kind of person Shao Xintang was in a moment of excitement.When he was regretting, Shao Xintang unexpectedly nodded and said, "Okay!"

Before going in the evening, Shao Xintang asked Goudan to tell the situation of those people around him again, and took Goudan to the appointment together.

The theater building is two streets away and has two floors.On the right is a restaurant with a thriving business, and on the left is a tea shop.A bronzing black wooden plaque hangs high on the railing between the first and second floors, with the words "Red Ink Theater Building" written on it, which looks quite grand.

Shao Xintang saw the singing skills of a woman named Yuegui, and she was quite good, but the stage was set up relatively low, and there was no modern advanced lighting.

Shao Xintang was very disappointed after watching it, and even more wanted to redeem herself quickly.At this time, Lu Hai who was sitting on the side suddenly said with emotion: "Yuegui sings tonight, at least it will cost two or thirty yuan."

"Didn't she sell herself to 'Red Mo'?"

Shao Xintang asked inadvertently, watching the dog sitting next to him like a little mouse grabbing food from the fruit plate and stuffing it into his mouth.

Lu Hai gave him a weird look, thinking that this master not only looks like a non-human being, but also doesn't care about "human" things.Said: "Of course she is not, she is a casual opera singer. But she sold her body, or if you hire such an opera singer, you will need half a dollar!"

Shao Xintang, who was pouring tea for Goudan, was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "Return the money if you sell yourself?"

Immediately after seeing Lu Hai's puzzled eyes, he reacted and said in a different tone: "I mean it's too little, it's nothing!"

"That's true." Lu Hai agreed.

After that, the two watched the play quietly again, but Shao Xintang was very excited.I didn't expect to sell my body and sing an opera to get back the money.In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to make money, but he has no idea at all. In his previous life, besides singing, he was always singing. Everything around him was already taken care of by that man, so he never thought about money.Now that the only technology he owns can make money, he is still very encouraged.

When I went back at night, I happened to meet Shen Caitian, the leader of the class.He first complained that the business was getting worse and worse these days, and then told him in a roundabout way that there was a play tomorrow night and asked if he could be in it.Shao Xintang readily agreed, which made Shen Caitian heave a sigh of relief.

The fame in his previous life was not something for nothing. There is not a single piece of Shao Xintang's operas from ancient times to the present that he could not recite and practiced many times, and he is best at Southern opera. Thinking of the ones sung by Yuegui tonight, it is very important to him. It's really a piece of cake.

When sleeping at night, Goudan squatted beside his bed and insisted on picking off his shoes to wash his feet, but Shao Xintang resolutely refused. Goudan is really a good boy, well-behaved and sensible, and he goes around like a small spinning top every day. Turn by yourself, very discerning.Goudan's life experience is also miserable, his parents died when he was very young, and he lived in his uncle's house until he was sold to Hongmo. His aunt was a mean woman and had many children. She sold him here last year. If you can learn some skills, you will be on your own in the future.After Goudan recognized himself as a godfather, even though Shao Xintang treated him badly before, he also knew that he was his only hope, and determined to be filial to his godfather and take care of him in the old age.

Shao Xintang knew the pain in his heart, and felt sorry for him.Knowing that this child is also one of my responsibilities, I also thought about planning a good future for him.But singing is obviously useless at this time. Shao Xintang wants to send him to study, but this is a long-term plan. He is a newcomer, and if he can't do it for a while, he will plan first.

Tossing and turning all night, but trying to come up with a name for the child, it's not a problem to always bark "dog egg" and "dog egg".

After being in a daze for half the night, Shao Xintang gradually fell asleep until dawn...
