[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r096

Mei Tess stopped at the entrance of the Argentine Theater.

They were recruiting actors, and a part of her didn't give up on her original dream.

At this time, eunuchs are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, and the real tenor voice has not yet developed.It can be said that this era is the spring of actresses, and it is also a rare opportunity for her.

However, when thinking of the scene she saw at the Marseille Theater, Mei Tess hesitated.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed boss saw her and enthusiastically invited her into the theater.

The well-organized backstage of the theater quickly dispelled Mei Tess's doubts. Unlike the theater in Marseille, audiences were not allowed to come and go at will, and actors were fully respected.

However, during the audition, Mei Tess disappointed the boss.

When she was studying at the Florent School of Drama, although she had experience in stage plays, operas are popular in this era, which requires not only good singing skills, but also cadenzas that require dazzling skills. Color Tess is not available.

Therefore, although the boss was impressed by her beauty and amazed by her beautiful voice, he still couldn't arrange her to be the leading actor in the opera.

He decided to keep Plum Tess, though, and found a suitable role for her.

Italian operas are handled very appropriately, and there is a song and dance between every two acts, so the closing time is very short.When the singers of the main play are resting and changing their costumes, the dancers will perform refreshing dance steps.Plum Tess could just start as an interlude dancer.

This is relatively simple for her, after all, there are many temporarily recruited dancers here, and they all come on stage after intensive training.

Although she failed to become a main actor, Mei Tess still felt satisfied.After all, at least she was able to return to the stage, and to some extent she had realized her original dream.

Relying on her outstanding performance, she gradually became a leading dancer and got a fixed income. More importantly, she did not give up her opera practice. All this was seen by the theater owner.

Because the work of the troupe was mostly at night, during the day, Mei Tess began to act as Haidee's teacher as agreed, teaching her how to use a gun.

Although Plum Tess is not a good teacher, it has to be said that Little Haidai is an excellent student.In fact, in Yanina back then, if Haiidee hadn't been too young, the recoil when firing the gun would have hurt her. Governor Ali had already taught her how to use a gun.

After figuring out the launch principle, Little Haidai hid under the eaves of the window, trying to aim at all the moving things outside the window, or the flying pigeons, or the cat jumping on the opposite roof.But once, when Little Haidee quietly took aim at a bearded Turk downstairs, Mei Tess gave her a stern warning.

"Haidee, don't point the gun at anyone!" she said, taking the gun from little Haiidee's hands. "If you do this again, I'll throw it into the river."

"But there's no buckshot in it!" Little Haidai argued.

"That can't be done either!"

This is perhaps the first time Plum Tess has treated Haidee so harshly.Tears of grievance filled the eyes of the little princess, but she made a promise obediently. She knew that Plum Tess was for her own good.

But not long after that, to little Haidee's surprise, Plum Tess got from somewhere a powder clip, a powder cartridge, and a whole load of buckshot.

She took little Haidee to a desolate wood outside Rome.

"Haidee, now you can practice to your heart's content."

Little Haidai had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but when she really aimed at the small animals in the woods, she found that she couldn't do it at all.

Plum Tess asked her with a questioning look.

"Plum Tess, I can't do it..." Haidee shook her head, "Those little animals also have parents, brothers and sisters. If I hurt them, they will be so sad."

Plum Tess is pleased with Haidee's kindness.She thought of a way and commissioned a carpenter to make frisbees and darts, and used them as targets for Haidee to practice marksmanship.

Under the arduous training, Haiide's marksmanship improved quickly.

But Mei Tess knows that this is far from enough. Maybe what she learned from the slave trader is enough for Haidee to be a qualified lady. Now she teaches her how to use a gun, but Mei Tess sincerely hopes that Haidee can Get an education worthy of a princess.

After hesitating for a few days, she decided to turn to Henry, the director of the troupe.Through long contact, she found that the young Italian could not help but be kind and warm, and he was a trustworthy person.

And Henry agreed to her request simply as Mei Tess expected.

From then on, she dressed little Haidee as a boy every day, and let Henry take her into the library.

However, Mei Tess's "brother" has a bit of a headache for Henry because of his taste in books.When Haidee was obsessed with Greek mythology, Henry was worried about leading her badly, and warmly recommended to her the fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm.But as soon as he turned around, Haidee would hold up the Greek mythology again, and Henry didn't know how to explain to Mei Tess for a while.

But gradually, he found that his worries were unnecessary, because Haidee began to be interested in some history and geography books again, and such books would never involve any inappropriate content.

But Henry's headache was far from over, because when little Haidee came to ask him questions with a book in his hand, he found that he couldn't answer most of them.

Henry is not a studious person, but he prefers literature and art, and he is probably not interested in those obscure books.Finally he found a good solution to the dilemma.He recommended some thought-provoking books to Haidee, and when she indulged in those theories, she would not bother him again.

This gave him time to finally settle down and write operas. Yes, this young man who graduated from the Bolognese Academy of Music is not content to be a director, but dreams of becoming a playwright, just like his predecessor Rossini like that.But first, although he has a lot of talent for composing, he still needs a story that can move people.

And his unintentional move also opened the door to another world for Xiao Haidai.When watching "Utopia", Haiide discovered for the first time that Greece more than 2000 years ago had a more advanced concept of governing the country than Nina, and the monographs of Machiavelli and those representatives of the Enlightenment made her even more addicted to it .

Because of this, Mei Tess is very grateful to Henry.Therefore, when he casually complained to her about his predicament, Mei Tess secretly decided to help him.

She knew that Henry wanted a powerful story, and she knew that Haidee was bent on revenge.Maybe there is a way to fulfill them.If the story of Yanina can be brought to the stage, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Plum Tess consulted Haidee first.

"But will that work?" Haide asked with some doubts.

"I can't guarantee that," Plum Tess pondered for a moment, "but I know that besides guns, there is another thing that can kill people. It is even more powerful than guns, and it can kill people invisible. That is public opinion."

Haidee lowered her head, contemplated for a few minutes, and finally raised her head, her gaze sharpened.

"Plum Tess, I have decided," she said firmly, "One day, I will let people know that this story happened for real, and I am the lost princess!"
