Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 178 Friends and Foes

   Pear Garden.

   The guests were ecstatic and intoxicated by Caiyi's beautiful voice, and did not hear that her voice was different from before, but the class leader and the actors of Lihuayuan still heard something different.

   A little girl said: "What's wrong with Sister Caiyi today, she actually missed a word in her singing just now. She is the one with the most rigorous singing skills among us."

  The class leader was still counting the prize money for this show, and said indifferently: "If you miss a song, you should miss it. Anyway, the guests came to her voice, and they didn't really listen to her lyrics."

  The little girl said, "Sister Caiyi is a famous actress. Of course, she has stricter requirements for herself. It's not like a class leader who only has money in her eyes. You can just get into the eyes of money."

The head teacher tapped her on the head and said angrily: "What's wrong with me, don't look at how old I am now, when I was young, I was also a famous actress, and my son-in-law, who liked me, also lined up from the theater to the street. At that time , your parents haven't given birth yet..."

   "Yoyoyo, I didn't expect the class teacher to have such an experience."

   "I really didn't see it!"

   "A generation of famous actors, how can they be in such a small theater now?"

  …

  The girls laughed one by one, and the backstage was full of joy.

   The immersed guests at the front desk did not notice that the two women stood in the corner and listened quietly. . .

   At this time, the theater was almost full, and they had no place. Caiyi stood on the stage and could see them at a glance.

   Her mind went blank, and she didn't even notice that she sang a few wrong words.

   Zhao Lingyin stood beside Zhao Lingjun and whispered, "Her voice is so nice."

   She actually wanted to say that her voice was as good as Lin Xiu's, but considering the strange relationship between the three of them, she still didn't say it.

   Zhao Lingjun smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."

   Zhao Lingyin said unexpectedly: "Is this gone?"

   Zhao Lingjun said: "There's not even a place here, do we have to stand and listen to it, we've been out for a long time today, and it's time to go back."

  I heard Lin Xiu talk about this girl from Lihuayuan more than once, and it happened that he mentioned the matter of taking a concubine again yesterday, which made her a little curious.

  I came here today to have a look, and found that she was born soft and her voice was so moving, I am afraid that few men would dislike her.

   It's just obvious that they took the liberty to appear here, and some disturbed her.

   When the two of them were about to leave here, several figures came in from outside.

  The young man with a somewhat feminine appearance, followed by a group of guards and followers, walked straight to the front of the stage, the frontmost position with the best viewing angle.

   One of the youth's entourage put a piece of silver on the table and said, "Excuse me, can I give this position to my son?"

   The one who was sitting there was also a young boy, and he invited a friend over to listen to the music today.

   Although this ingot is not small, he is not a person who is short of money. He usually clears other people's tables. In front of so many friends, when others clear the table, where does his face go?

   However, when he looked back and saw the young man standing behind him, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, he immediately stood up, and said in a trembling voice, "Third, Third Young Master, please sit down."

After   , he looked at his friends who were still stunned in their seats, and immediately said, "What are you still doing standing there? Why don't you make room for San Shao!"

   Soon, all the people at the table stood up, and the young man didn't dare to take the money, and ran out in despair.

   The young man sat there alone, ordered a pot of tea, and drank leisurely while listening to the music.

   And since he walked in here, many guests immediately changed color and left.

  The young man listened for a while, and asked his entourage to call the head of Lihuayuan, and said to her: "Let's make a price, I bought your troupe."

   After being stunned for a moment, the troupe shook his head and said, "This son, we are a little-known troupe, what are you buying us for..."

One of the attendants glared at the old woman and said angrily, "Why is there so much nonsense, it's a blessing for your troupe to see your troupe, no matter how many people look forward to it, you won't be able to come, and you will enjoy inexhaustible glory with your son in the future. Rich, not much better than you are now?"

   For ordinary actors and actresses, there is no guarantee of life. If you can enter the mansion of a powerful person or a big family and become a family actor, it is naturally excellent.

  The class leader said helplessly: "Young master misunderstood, although Lao Shen is the leader of Lihuayuan, but the girls in Lihuayuan are all freelancers, and Lao Shen can't be the master alone."

   The servant said: "Then go and ask them if they are willing to be the housekeepers of the Dingguo Gongfu, and the monthly money is indispensable for you."

  The head of the class said: "My lord, I'm really sorry, the girls are used to it here, and the business of the theater is very good, which can make them worry about food and clothing. I think they are not willing to invest elsewhere."

   The servant was about to get angry, but the young man waved his hand, looked at the woman who was singing on the stage, and asked, "What's that girl's name?"

  The class leader said: "She is called Caiyi, and she is the pillar of our pear garden."

  The young man said politely: "Her voice is very nice. Grandfather likes to listen to operas. Today I would like to invite her to the Guogong's mansion to sing a few stanzas for grandfather. As for the remuneration, it will definitely satisfy you."

   The class leader showed hesitation, and said, "This... I'm afraid I have to ask Caiyi's meaning."

One of the servants behind the young man's face sank and said, "The Duke's Mansion invites you to sing, do you still have to refuse, the young master has even arranged the stage in the mansion, do you know how many big people are waiting for you? "

   The guests around who had not had time to leave were also shocked when they heard the words.

  Who is Duke Ding, one of the powerhouses of the Daxia rank, the father of the Empress, who controls the most powerful family in Daxia, and being appreciated by his old man is a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes.

  The son of the Zhang family came to invite him in person, which can be said to be sincere.

   No troupe can nor dare to deny him face.

   If you don't give him face, you don't give face to the mansion, and don't give face to the old man. Even His Majesty respects the old man. Who would dare to give him in the capital?

   Even from the standpoint of a bystander, the head of the class of Lihuayuan is a little too ignorant to lift things up.

   Caiyi had finished singing at this time, and quickly walked off the stage and asked, "Class teacher, what's the matter?"

  The class leader looked at her and said hesitantly, "The son of Dingguo Gongfu, I want to invite you to the house and sing to the old man."

   "Dingguo Gongfu..."

   Caiyi was shocked when she heard these words.

   This is the top wealthy family in Daxia. It is an existence that can't help but be shocked as long as you hear it on weekdays.

   Zhang Jing looked at Caiyi and said in an unquestionable tone: "Miss Caiyi, come with me, grandfather and the others are still waiting, it's not good to keep them waiting for a long time."

  The two female detectives sat in the corner, looked at each other, but did not move.

   When other powerful children harass her, they can stop her.

   But if Duke Ding wants to listen to the music, who dares to stop him?

   Even if His Majesty is here, she will not stop her from going to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

   They dare not.

   Caiyi's expression was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to go to Dingguo Gongfu. She didn't have any affection for the powerful sons except Lin Xiu, and she never sang songs outside Lihuayuan.

   But that's Zhang's house.

  The most powerful Zhang family in the capital.

   Offending the Zhang family will not only bring disaster to Lihuayuan, but even Lin Xiu will be in great trouble.

   She was in a turmoil at the moment, and she didn't know what to do.

She looked at the class leader with a look of help. The class leader of Lihuayuan sighed and said to Zhang Jing: "Master Zhang, Caiyi has been singing for a long time today, and she is very tired. It is disrespectful to the old man to go to Dingguo Gonggong now..."

   Zhang Jing smiled and said, "It's okay, her voice has a unique charm. I asked her to sing for my grandfather, and I didn't listen to those lyrics."

   His voice fell, and the Pear Flower Garden fell into a dead silence.

  Caiyi's fist tucked into her sleeve clenched tightly, her face was pale, she didn't want to go to Zhang Mansion, she knew very well that when she stepped into that mansion, her fate would no longer be under her control.

   Zhang Jing always smiled and waited patiently.

Before   , he would directly take the actor away, but his father didn't let him trouble Lin Xiu, so he didn't bother Lin Xiu.

   He just heard that the actor has a good voice and invited her to go home and sing for his grandfather.

  Grandfather likes to listen to opera very much, maybe he will leave her at home and call in to sing in his spare time, even if he doesn't want to, he will suggest that.

   If you have the ability, then Lin Xiu will take someone to Duke Dingguo's mansion to **** her back.

   At that time, even the emperor did not dare to protect him.

   If Lin Xiu dared to do this, he would respect him as a man.

   Zhang Jing's plan is very good. He didn't use any conspiracy or violence.

   A woman came from the corner without looking at Zhang Jing, and said, "Dingguo Gongfu, she won't go."

   Caiyi stared at Zhao Lingjun in a daze, her thinking stagnant for a while.

   Zhang Jing never expected that Zhao Lingjun would be here, not to mention that she would help this actor.

   She is Lin Xiu's wife, this actor is a woman who Lin Xiu keeps outside, shouldn't they be enemies?

  He is helping her!

   How can this woman not distinguish between friend and foe?

   Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Lingjun and asked, "It was my grandfather who asked her to sing a song. If Miss Zhao wants to stop her, I'm afraid she has to give me a reason."

   Zhao Lingjun said lightly: "If you want to stop it, then stop it, what reason do you need?"

   Zhang Jing's lips moved, but he was speechless.

   Over the years, he has acted recklessly and without scruples. People say that he is the most arrogant person in the capital.

   But he wanted to take this woman back, and after thinking about it all night, he came up with a wonderful reason, at least on the bright side, this reason makes sense.

   The title of the most arrogant person in the capital, Zhang Jing felt that he was unworthy.

  In terms of arrogance, is he more arrogant than Zhao Lingjun?
