New Year's Eve!
Xishan is extremely noisy.
In each of the large auditoriums, people were beating gongs and drums and singing.
On the stage in front of the auditorium, the actors sang classic plays that have been passed down through the ages, such as The Love of Butterfly Lovers, The Poor Scholar's High School Champion Fighting the Landlord Bully, The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, etc. The workers in the audience kept cheering.
It turns out that today is the New Year's Eve, and many theater troupes will not go to work, but choose to go home to reunite with their relatives.
However, Mr. Su from Xishan Coal Industry Group really gave too much!
Starting from the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, he directly booked all the theater troupes around Beiping City and invited them to come and sing operas for the Xishan Coal Industry workers. The salary was too high to refuse!
So they chose to follow their heart and immediately rushed to Xishan with the guy in charge.
In the auditorium, the workers in Xishan watched intently. From time to time, bursts of applause erupted when the song was wonderful, and some even threw one or two copper plates on it as a reward.
There is no way, now that the workers in Xishan are rich, their pockets are bulging, and when they are happy, they can't help but spend a lot of money to enjoy the pleasure of a gentleman!
In this era of lack of entertainment projects, singing opera is definitely a program not to be missed.
Even Su Yang, who has always been reluctant to see the end of a dragon, was sitting in the front row with his young wife, watching with gusto.
Especially the little girl Zhu Wanqiu, carrying a small bamboo basket in her hand, which contained piles of copper coins.
If the troupe sang a highlight, the little girl would immediately grab a handful of coins and throw them on the stage.
This bright handwriting stimulated the troupe to work even harder, wanting to use all their skills!
Su Yang smiled and said nothing when he saw this. As long as his wife is happy and everyone has a happy New Year, this little money is nothing.
In fact, it didn't cost much to invite these troupes over.
Asking a troupe to sing for a day only costs one tael of silver, and only the best troupe in Beiping City can pay this price. If an ordinary troupe doesn't cost one tael of silver, it only costs seven or eight cents at most.
The five or six troupes put together, even if they sing for three consecutive days, only cost a few dozen taels of silver at most, but they can make the whole Xishan Mountain full of laughter and make the little daughter-in-law happy. This deal is simply a big deal for Su Yang. Don’t take it too seriously!
Moreover, a theater troupe was invited to sing during the Chinese New Year this year, which gave Xishan workers a sense of belonging to Xishan. They will naturally gradually regard Xishan as their home, truly integrate into Xishan Coal Group, and become a part of Xishan Coal!
In addition, Su Yang invited all the theater troupes in Beiping City to sing operas specifically for the Xishan workers. Presumably the people in Peiping will be envious of the Xishan workers' generous treatment after hearing this news. If Xishan recruits workers again after the spring, then Much easier!
Spending a small amount of money to do big things, how could Su Yang suffer a loss?
"good!"
"Singing so well!"
Just as Su Yang was deep in thought, the little girl's cheers suddenly came from beside him.
At this moment, the scene was coming to an end, and the little girl was throwing money directly onto the stage one after another. This generosity shocked everyone in the theater troupe.
This was the first time they had seen such a generous and generous employer during their travels.
The previous resentment for not being able to go home for the New Year also disappeared without a trace at this time.
Well, it’s not that I have no spine, it’s just that they gave me too much!
Following the little girl's generous reward, some workers in front also threw copper plates on the stage. One copper plate or two copper plates were all their hard-earned money from working for a year.
Although one person could not give much, the number of people in the entire auditorium was overwhelming. For a moment, it felt as if it was raining on the stage, and in the blink of an eye it covered the entire stage.
When the troupe leader saw this, he was immediately moved to tears.
He looked at Su Yang with some embarrassment and said sincerely: "Master Su, this money... is too much!"
"What's too much? You deserve this!"
Su Yang comforted him with a smile: "You have brought us happiness with opera, and these coins are your hard-earned money, so don't worry about anything, you deserve it!"
"By the way, your performance was also wonderful. It is no exaggeration to say that this opera is the quintessence of my Chinese nation. I hope you can continue to pass it on, bring joy to the world, and deliver positive energy to the world!"
Hearing Su Yang's sincere words, the eyes of everyone in the troupe turned red instantly.
They don't understand what "positive energy" is.
They are all just a group of actors, and actors belong to three religions and nine schools in this era, and they are the most despised and looked down upon.
On weekdays, I suffer from being slighted and humiliated by others, but I dare not speak out in anger.
But now, they feel respect from Su Yang that they have never experienced before!
This kind of respect brought tears to their eyes!
The pillar on the stage was a pretty woman with good looks. She looked at Su Yang with tears in her eyes, and called out with emotion: "Su Lang~"
As soon as he heard this, Su Yang's scalp suddenly went numb.
Seeing the little girl puffing up her cheeks, Su Yang immediately took his wife and left.
Damn it, why do you still pledge yourself to me?
The little girl glared at the pillar angrily, and then turned back to look at Su Yang.
"Ms. sir, are you interested in that woman?"
Su Yang was stunned and shook his head hastily.
"Xiaowan, what are you thinking about?"
"My husband only has you in his heart. All other women are just pink skulls to my husband!"
Hearing this, Zhu Wanqiu suddenly smiled sweetly.
However, a joking voice suddenly came from behind.
"Brother Su is Brother Su. I admire your ability to flirt with girls!"
"Brother Su is awesome!"
Su Yang knew it was Guo You and Lu Xiong without turning his head.
After Guo You figured out the story, he officially became Su Yang's disciple and became Su Yang's younger brother.
Well, as for Lu Xiong, it’s just incidental.
"Where are you two boys going?"
"Go home for the New Year!"
Guo You asked back: "Brother Su, won't you go to Yan... Master's house to celebrate the New Year?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang suddenly slapped his forehead.
In the past few days, he had been busy celebrating the New Year for Xishan workers and arranging New Year surprises. He almost forgot that he had promised his father-in-law to take Xiaowan home for the New Year!
"If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten it!"
"Then let's go to Beiping City together!"
The four of them hit the road together.
But Su Yang didn't notice at all, his little wife's expression was very strange.
Zhu Wanqiu was a little excited and a little scared.
After all, there's a showdown!
At the same time, Prince Yan’s Palace!
Zhang Xin hid under Princess Yan's carriage, successfully avoided Xie Gui's secret sentry, and sneaked into Prince Yan's mansion.
After Xu Miaoyun heard what Zhang's mother said, she immediately ordered her mother to go home and find Zhang Xin. Then she hid under the carriage and returned to Prince Yan's Mansion with Xu Miaoyun.
After entering Prince Yan's Mansion, Xu Miaoyun first went to see Zhu Di and informed him of the matter.
Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, but it was a secret imperial edict, so he couldn't help but ignore it.
Monk Daoyan and Chang Shi Jinzhong got the news and hurried over.
After a brief discussion, the three decided to meet Zhang Xin.
No matter what Zhang Xin's purpose is, this cannot be a conspiracy of the imperial court!
After all, Zhang Xin is famous for his filial piety. There is no way he would involve his mother in this matter for the sake of the court!
Moreover, that was a secret edict from the imperial court!
What order did Zhu Yunwen issue?
Prince Yan’s Mansion must know this!
Otherwise, it will definitely affect Prince Yan’s plan to raise troops!
"Zhang Xin, go in, the prince is waiting for you inside!"
After hearing Ma Sanbao's message, Zhang Xin took a deep breath.
Prosperity and wealth are now!
