Guo Bing could see that Lin Jue was hesitant, he was very angry, but at the same time he admired Lin Jue a little. Among those people under his door, which one of them didn't sharpen his head and wanted to squeeze to his side, but this Lin Jue hesitated under his kind invitation. This also shows that Lin Jue is different from others. Although the palace showed the attitude of Corporal Lixian to everyone, it was actually contemptuous of those guests who had no temperament, Guo Bing and his son, in private. Lin Jue was the first person to show an indifferent attitude towards the invitation of the palace, which also made Guo Bing want him to use it for himself.

What you can't get is always good, and this sentence is the most suitable for Guo Bing at this moment. What's more, Lin Jue had already shown his ability, which was beyond the reach of the thousands of guests in the palace.

"Lord Wang. May I consider this matter, after all, if I enter the palace as a guest, I must also ask for the consent of my husband and the head of the house. I'm not good at making decisions. I am still a member of the Lin family, and according to etiquette, I have not yet reached the age of a weak crown, and I can't make my own decisions about many things. ”

Lin Jue decided to use procrastination to deal with this dilemma. In fact, just now, he had already thought that he would never enter the palace as a guest, and he would never do what he was unwilling to do in this life. Lin Bonian may really be in trouble, but that's his business. If he is impeached, it will also be the result of the Lin family's wrong decision-making. And Lin Bonian's matter will not endanger the lives of the Lin family, at most, Lin Bonian is unlucky, and the Lin family will be punished. But now he is attached to the palace, and he will not be able to act on his own in the future. Not to mention whether there will be disasters in the palace that implicate him, even if he uses the power of the palace to enter the office, he will just be a puppet of the palace in the future. That was by no means the future that Lin Jue wanted.

But Lin Jue couldn't refuse bluntly, because there was King Liang in front of him, and King Liang who could destroy the Lin family out of nothing when he was angry. Even if you don't want to be with him, you don't have to be stupid to offend him. Then procrastination is the best way to deal with it, and if it drags on for a long time, King Liang will also understand that this is a tactful refusal, and give them the greatest amount of face to save face, and it will not cause unnecessary hostility.

Guo Bing, the king of Liang, is not ignorant of Lin Jue's intentions, although he can forcefully oppress Lin Jue to comply, but there is a saying that 'a twisted melon is not sweet', and Guo Bing does not want to ruin his reputation as a corporal of Lixian. At the moment, he made up his mind not to be forced for the time being, and Rong Linjue thought about it. Maybe after a while he will come to himself.

"That's it, Lin Jue, since you have concerns, of course this king doesn't want to persecute you. This king just thinks that you are a good talent and a beautiful jade, and wants to give you a hand. I don't want you to think I'm having some bad intentions, isn't that a joke? In this way, if you want to take the imperial examination, you will give it a try, and it is naturally good to win the imperial examination, if you don't win, the door of my palace is still open to you, what do you think? ”

Lin Jue bowed and saluted: "Thank you Lord for your kindness, if the road of the imperial examination does not work, of course I must ask the prince to help." The prince's tolerance and generosity made Zai Xia feel deeply guilty. ”

"Hahaha, you don't have to say pretty things. From now on, you can come to the palace often, and when this king wants to see you, you can't refuse. Don't worry, I'm just chatting and talking, when I'm a guest in the palace, I don't want you to do anything for this king. Don't think about it. I know that you are wary of this king, and I am afraid that you are still angry about what this king wanted to do with you before. You have been with this king for a long time, and you will know what kind of person this king is. ”

Of course, Lin Jue can't be ignorant, it's not a bad thing to be able to enter and leave the palace, not everyone can come here. Although he knew that King Liang was still wooing himself, it was not a bad thing to be won over by the prince. I can't cut off this road, maybe I will ask King Liang in the future.

……

When it was dark, in a room on the second floor of the Moon Tower, Lin Jue sat at the window and drank tea slowly. Looking down from the window, you can just see the bustling crowd at the exit of the Jiangnan Grand Theater, which are all ordinary people watching the play.

After coming out of the palace for the banquet, Lin Jue came to the Moon Tower. The show was ongoing, and there was a burst of laughter and cheers in the theater. The silk and bamboo drum music rises and falls, and the repertoire on the stage of the Grand Theater is in full swing. This gave Lin Jue a hint of returning to the earth when he was a teenager. At that time, the video halls on the street were full of sound of fighting, killing and music dialogue from the stereo, which was very desirable.

Xie Danhong was overjoyed when she learned that Lin Jue had arrived. As if inviting a god, Lin Jue was invited to the second floor, and he had to inform Xie Yingying immediately. Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand to stop her. Because she knew that Xie Yingying was going to perform two performances in a row in the afternoon, she couldn't have time to come over and talk, so she could only wait after today's show.

Xie Danhong had to obey the order, served tea and snacks and talked with Lin Jue, and then brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone according to Lin Jue's instructions. Lin Jue began to refine the script of "The Legend of the West Chamber". In fact, the script has already been written, but it needs to be considered on the lighting lines and set props, and this is exactly what Xie Yingying needs.

Lin Jue finished this, and the second game in the afternoon had just ended, and it was already dark at this time. After calculating the duration, a play takes about an hour, plus the interval in the middle, for nearly three hours, Xie Yingying is acting. Lin Jue admired Xie Yingying very much, three hours a day is nothing, but this is not sitting for three hours, but performing a drama and singing on the stage with a wry smile and madness, which is extremely physically exhausting. What is even more rare is that it has been done every day for more than a month, which requires great enthusiasm and perseverance. Lin Jue asked himself, if he was in a different position, he would definitely not be able to do this.

There was a voice outside the house, it was Xie Yingying's voice: "What, Lin Gongzi came in the afternoon?" Mom, you're really, why didn't you tell me? Let Lin Gongzi sit here alone for an afternoon? ”

"Oh, my ancestor, he won't let you be disturbed. It's no wonder that what you say will affect your acting mood. Xie Danhong's voice came.

The door was pushed open, Lin Jue stood up with a smile, and saw Xie Yingying, who had not yet removed her makeup and was still wearing the ghost shape of Du Liniang in "The Peony Pavilion", appeared at the door. Seeing Lin Juezheng smiling at him, Xie Yingying's eyes lit up and she stepped forward quickly.

"Childe, you're back." Xie Yingying seemed to have a thousand words to say in her heart, but after all, she only said this sentence.

Lin Jue arched his hand and smiled: "I'm back, I haven't seen Miss Yingying for many days, are you okay?" ”

Xie Yingying had something sour in her nose, and there was a hot current in her eyes, she wanted to tell Lin Jue how much she missed Lin Jue in the past month or so. I have his shadow in my dreams every day. After leaving Hangzhou, Xie Yingying really felt his true emotions. And at this moment, this person is standing in front of him, so close, yet so far away.

Xie Yingying is a person who is good at controlling her emotions, and she calmed down.

"Thank you, Childe, I'm fine. Is Childe okay too? Xie Yingying bowed.

"I'm fine too. Good couldn't be better. Lin Jue laughed.

Xie Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart: You are naturally very good, but you don't know my suffering.

"Hmm...... The warbler girl has cleared a little. Twice a day, isn't it too tiring? How's the recruitment going? Otherwise, people will not be able to bear it. Lin Jue looked at Xie Yingying's slightly emaciated face and said.

"Lin Gongzi, don't worry, the people have almost been recruited. Miss Zhao Mengyue from Jiangning Mansion also joined. In the future, we can form two groups to perform. It's just that we still need to train and train more, and these little ladies are a little unaccustomed to the performance of our kind of repertoire. The warblers are teaching them these things at night. Xie Danhong said busily beside him.

Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's good, my mother has to worry more about these things, I can't help, and Miss Yingying can't be too tired, so my mother can only pay more attention to these things." Two shifts are definitely not enough. It is necessary to build a training base and select good seedlings to take over. In the future, this is a big troupe, and it will need at least a few hundred people, and more than ten sets of teams will be required to become a troupe. These things should be prepared for a rainy day, and it will be too late to find them in a hurry. ”

"So many people? Lin Gongzi, how big are we going to do, I think it's pretty good now. Xie Danhong smacked his tongue and said.

Lin Jue smiled: "Mother Xie, is she satisfied after making a little money?" It's all starting to divide the money, which is too petty. I brought the silver tickets with me, and I took them all back. ”

Xie Danhong hurriedly said: "Lin Gongzi, the silver is divided according to the agreement, and there is no less ...... one or two."

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant, I mean to take the silver back and find a new field to open a semicolon." A grand theater in Hangzhou is far from enough. I think it wasn't time to split the money. ”

"Open a semicolon?" Xie Danhong said dumbfounded.

Xie Yingying nodded beside her and said, "How?" I'm right, I'll just say that Lin Gongzi must open a semicolon, mom, you just don't listen. The semicolon is indeed going to be opened, but let's not open it, I'm afraid someone will take the lead. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It's very true, if we don't make this money, others will come to get a piece of the pie." We must occupy most of the market first, otherwise we will be overtaken by latecomers. Business is so hot that I don't believe that others are not tempted. ”

"Lin Gongzi, you are not in Hangzhou during this time, and you don't know the situation. Preparations for the theater are already underway. Wanhualou and Qunfang Pavilion are said to have begun to prepare for a piece of the pie. There are several more that are ready to enter the industry. Xie Yingying said.

Lin Jue shrugged and said, "Take a look." People are red-eyed. But in any industry that can make money, there will be people who sharpen their heads and drill into it. But don't be afraid, we have our advantages. This is not something that anyone can be popular, one relies on acting skills, the second relies on the novelty of the lighting set, and the third relies on ......"

"We have a repertoire written by Lin Gongzi, and they don't have any. This is our greatest strength. Xie Yingying said.

Lin Jue laughed and said, "You praise me so much, I can't stand it." But it's barely an advantage, after all, there is no good story and good script, and it can't attract the audience. The new theater wanted to start as soon as possible, so I looked for a place in the East Side. This is the West City, and then open a theater in the East City, and next year two more will be opened, two more in the north and south. The south, east, and west were occupied, and then they considered opening to other state capitals. For the time being, we can't expand too quickly, after all, manpower is the biggest limitation. Don't be stingy with silver, this time we will invest all the seven or eight thousand taels of silver in the three of us, the theater must be luxurious and atmospheric, not a tattered little family, I will give a design plan when I go back, thank you mother you go to find a place to rent according to my idea, and renovate it according to the pattern. If you want to be fast, you can open it after the year......"
