"Sister Lan, why are you here?" Backstage, Jiang Rou, who had left the stage, was about to take off her makeup when she saw Bai Yulan push the door open and walk in.
By virtue of her identity as a woman, she came backstage to take a look at Xiao Xiangning, so no one could stop her.
Although Bai Yulan is not in the "liyuan" business, romantic places and "folk arts" have always been inseparable.
The Ningxiang Pavilion is also a high-end romantic place, and many of the women working in the industry have their own skills, and they can play, play, and sing.
Even Bai Yulan won the reputation of the Queen of the Flower Kingdom with her song "Gongsun Da Niang Sword Dance". How could she be chosen based on her beauty alone and no talent?
In terms of dancing, Bai Yulan is not inferior to anyone, but her singing skills are not as good as others. This is innate and cannot be helped.
"I came here to see you and bring you some food by the way. It's from Lao Dingfeng, see if you like it." Bai Yulan borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.
Zhou Sen bought a lot of pastries yesterday, and she couldn't finish them all by herself. Today she came to see Jiang Rou, so she picked some and brought them over.
"Thank you, Sister Lan." Jiang Rou said happily. At least she still had someone who cared about her in Bingcheng.
"Why are you so polite? We are also a family after all." Bai Yulan smiled slightly. Based on Zhou Sen's relationship, she was right to say this.
"Sister Lan, let me take off my makeup. How about I treat you to dinner for a while?" Jiang Rou said, she couldn't just take what others had, she had to reciprocate.
"Okay."
Bai Yulan happily agreed, and she also had something to talk to Jiang Rou in detail. This dressing room is not secretive, and people come and go.
Removing makeup is quite time-consuming.
Half an hour later, Jiang Rou took off her clothes, changed her clothes, and put on her own clothes.
"Sister Lan, let's go."
"good."
"Xiaorou, are you going out?" Uncle Liu asked when he met the musician.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I won't eat in class." Xiaorou nodded and responded.
Sun Qingkui is not in the class, and Jiang Rou is relatively comfortable.
"Xiaorou, do you get along well with the people in the class?" Bai Yulan walked behind and asked in a low voice.
"Fortunately, they are pretty good to me." Jiang Rou nodded.
The two of them didn't go far and found a nice-looking restaurant not far from the new stage.
"Boss Bai, you are such a rare guest, please come in and invite us!" The hotel manager recognized Bai Yulan at a glance and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the guests.
"Sister Lan is very familiar with the boss?"
"I've been here for almost ten years, how can I not be familiar with it?" Bai Yulan chuckled, "The chicken stewed with mushrooms made in this shop is pretty good, you have to try it later."
"OK."
"Brother, let's have chicken stewed with mushrooms first, then three delicacies, stir-fried bacon with garlic moss..." Bai Yulan skillfully reported the names of four or five dishes.
"Sister Lan, can the three of us finish eating so many dishes?" Jiang Judao, Bai Yulan also brought Axiang.
"Don't worry, if you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it back."
Jiang Rou stopped talking.
"Xiaorou, there was a lot to say in the dressing room just now. How have you considered the matter I told you last time?" Bai Yulan asked.
"Sister Lan, I paid for the hotel I stayed in. If I move out now, the money I paid will be in vain. It's such a pity. I want to move after I finish staying, okay?" Jiang Rou hesitated. I was having a conflict with Sun Qingkui and I didn't want to take the matter to Ningxiang Pavilion.
By then, according to Zhou Sen's temper, he probably won't be polite to Sun Qingkui.
"a few more days?"
"Four or five days, maybe a week at most, I haven't calculated it carefully." Jiang Rou said with evasive eyes.
"It's only four or five days. We don't have much money. If you don't want to live here, you can let someone else live there. This shouldn't be a problem, right?" Bai Yulan said.
"this……"
"Your brother gave orders. I came here today to do this. Besides, it's a good day and everything goes well. If you don't move, I won't be able to explain to your brother when I go back." Bai Yulan couldn't tell that Jiang Rou has concerns.
This concern should be due to pressure from Sun Qingkui. Otherwise, what reason would she have for not moving?
Jiang Rou is a soft-hearted person, so she can't let Sun Qingkui manipulate her anymore. Otherwise, how will the rest of the matter proceed?
"this……"
"What's this? Let's eat first. After eating, we will move." Bai Yulan said, "Your brother is still at home waiting for news."
Jiang Rou took a look and realized that this family was probably going to move. If she found another reason, wouldn't she be letting down the good intentions of Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan?
"Boss Bai, here comes the dish. Chicken stewed with mushrooms. This is our signature dish. Try it. Is it still the same taste?" The shopkeeper served the dish himself.
"Okay, if the taste remains the same, I won't pay." Bai Yulan smiled slightly.
"If it weren't for the original taste, I would have paid for today's meal." The boss said proudly.
"Come on, Xiaorou, let's have a taste." Bai Yulan picked up the bowl and poured a bowl of chicken soup for Jiang Rou herself.
"Thank you, Sister Lan. I'll do it myself." Jiang Rou quickly reached out to take it, took a sip, and said, "It's really delicious. It's really delicious."
"Axiang, please have some too, such a big bowl..."
"Sister Lan, I'll do it myself." It seemed to Axiang that Bai Yulan brought her out today and had dinner with Jiang Rou just to take revenge on Zhou Sen.
The combined age of these two people is fifty years old, and they are still as childish as children...
"Xiaorou, eat more. Look at your thin face, there is no meat. This woman, don't treat yourself badly, especially when it comes to food and clothing." Bai Yulan picked up vegetables for Jiang Rou, While instilling in Jiang Rou his own way of life.
"Thank you, Sister Lan. I've eaten a lot." Jiang Rou was really infected by Bai Yulan's enthusiasm. Such a good sister-in-law is really hard to find.
…
After the three of them had lunch, they went directly to the Dadi Hotel where Jiang Rou lived.
In the suite, Bai Yulan was very critical, saying that the place where Jiang Rou lived was useless, and urged Jiang Rou to pack her things quickly and move out immediately.
Jiang Rou was also helpless. Under this situation, she had no choice but to move.
She doesn't have many personal belongings. All her stage performance outfits are kept in the troupe. Here are just her daily changes of clothes and personal belongings.
Although it wasn't much, it was still filled with two heavy boxes, and some were carried in the hands.
"Xiaorou, I told the boss that the rent will not be refunded, but other members of the troupe can come and stay there until the end of the stay. Don't worry, it's not a waste."
"Thank you, Sister Lan!"
Jiang Rou has been staying in this Dadi Hotel for half a month, and she has found it quite comfortable. Before leaving, she couldn't help but stand at the door and take another look.
After getting on the carriage, Jiang Rou followed Bai Yulan to the Ningxiang Pavilion.
As soon as Jiang Rou left, Sun Qingkui hurried over. He had heard that Bai Yulan was looking for Jiang Rou.
The two also left the new stage together.
He had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he hurriedly came to the Dadi Hotel to find Jiang Rou, but the boss told her that Jiang Rou had packed up and moved out.
And it was Bai Yulan's carriage that boarded the Ningxiang Pavilion.
Sun Qingkui instantly fell to the ground, as if he were mourning for his heir.
Who is Bai Yulan of Ningxiang Pavilion? She picked up Jiang Rou. How could he trick Jiang Rou into going to Boss Tang's dinner?
Isn't this something that has ruined him?
Sun Qingkui was furious. Since he was feeding unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, he shouldn't blame himself for being rude.
Sun Qingkui gritted his teeth and decided to make a desperate move.
He returned to the new stage and went directly to Tang Peiyuan.
"What are you talking about? You sold the troupe to me, including the contract Xiao Xiangning signed with you?" Tang Peiyuan was surprised.
"Yes, Boss Tang, my return to Bingcheng this time is actually a return to my roots. I don't want to go out to run around anymore. Sooner or later, this theater troupe will have to be let go. It's better to sell it at a good price now. If you are willing, I will sell the theater troupe." Here you go, from now on, Xiao Xiangning will be yours, you can play whatever you want!" Sun Qingkui said.
Sun Qingkui's despicable character also opened Tang Peiyuan's eyes. There is such a person in the world: "Master Sun, this Xiao Xiangning is your adopted daughter, how can you bear to do this?"
"She will get married sooner or later. It is her blessing to meet such a noble man as Boss Tang, isn't it?"
"Okay, I don't care what your purpose is, how much do you want?" Tang Peiyuan asked.
"Fifty thousand dollars!"
Tang Peiyuan sneered: "You are crazy about money. Fifty thousand yuan, how dare you speak."
Sun Qingkui gritted his teeth and said: "At least 30,000 yuan. If Boss Tang doesn't want to buy it, there are many people who want to buy it."
Tang Peiyuan was stunned. Sun Qingkui was really willing to risk everything. However, he was really unwilling to spend 30,000 yuan to buy Sun Qingkui's troupe.
Even if there is a contract with Xiao Xiangning, it is not a contract of betrayal. Let alone 30,000 yuan, even 10,000 yuan would feel like a loss.
But he was also afraid that Sun Qingkui, an old boy, would act up, so he said: "Master Sun, it's a little difficult to come up with 30,000 yuan at once. How about you allow me two days to raise funds?"
“Boss Tang’s huge family fortune, can’t you even get thirty thousand dollars out of it?”
"It's not that I can't get it out, it's just that I don't have so much cash on hand, so I need to raise some money. You go back first. In just these two days, I promise to get all the money together for you!" Tang Peiyuan said.
"Okay, I'll give Boss Tang two days. After two days, the price won't be the same!" Sun Qingkui gritted his teeth and said.
…
"Master, do we really want to spend 30,000 ha to buy Sun Qingkui's troupe?" Tang Peiyuan's confidant asked.
"Do you think I am so stupid? This Sun Qingkui is too greedy." Tang Peiyuan said, "If you secretly spread the news that Sun Qingkui wants to sell the theater troupe to support his retirement, people in the troupe will definitely find trouble with him, and people will be scattered. , how much is his troupe worth?"
"Master, you are still smart, I will do it right away." The master nodded.
"Remember, be careful of this dog surnamed Sun jumping over the wall. Keep an eye on him and don't let him escape our sight." Tang Peiyuan chuckled and said, "No one can take away what I, Tang Peiyuan, like."
…
"Xiao Rou has moved here, it's a good thing, haha." Zhou Sen was very happy. Jiang Rou moved into the Ningxiang Pavilion, and his plan for the new stage officially entered the substantive stage.
"Xiaorou, you can live in this house. It's close and quiet..."
"Xiaorou has chosen a room a long time ago. She will live in Sister Yan's room. You don't need to worry about it!" Bai Yulan rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen.
How could she let Jiang Rou live in the same courtyard as them, and the courtyard next door was almost the same.
Is there any blood relationship between Zhou Sen and Jiang Rou this time? Jiang Rou is also young and beautiful. Why don't you take precautions in advance?
"Okay, haha, Xiaorou can live in that house if she wants. I have no objection." Zhou Sen smiled coquettishly.
