(two-in-one) Lin Jue lifted Erlang's legs and shook twice: "I can perform in the next few days of rehearsals and rehearsals." Tomorrow, I ordered people to prepare for a big hype, taking advantage of the recent excitement in the city, this time two new dramas will be staged at the same time, Dongcheng and Mochizuki Tower will be performed at the same time, and it is bound to be in the limelight, and the wealth will be rolling. By the way, our ticket prices should be mentioned again, I think we make too little. Everyone has worked so hard, and they are all thanks to the reward. I think we'll have to raise the price of the box. Scattered seats, a symbolic mention of ten cents will become, and the people's silver is not easy to come by. ”

This remark was exactly what Xie Danhong meant, she smiled and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what Childe said is very true, our ticket price." The price of a few taels of silver must be raised in the box. Our play is so good, and the service is so thoughtful, why should we take out more money from their pockets. Lin Gongzi, you said yes. ”

Lin Jue nodded with a smile and said, "I have a relationship in my heart, Sister Danhong is the same as I think." The rich don't earn their money, they don't earn it in vain. This time I signed my name on the poster, I, Lin Jue, am also a celebrity, and I should also increase my silver with my name. By the way, weren't there a lot of people who wanted to meet with me and asked me to sign the script? I used to refuse, but now I don't refuse anyone. Sister Danhong went to send the scripts of the previous plays to the book club to print hundreds of copies. Let's clearly mark the price, I signed 20 taels of silver, plus a full set of autographs of Miss Xie and all the performers, it will be 32 1. Don't be too expensive, those who are willing to buy it themselves, don't be verbose. ”

Xie Dan smiled with red eyebrows, patted his knees and shouted, "Oh, this is great." Childe let go early, how much more money do we have to earn. I don't know how many people want a signed notebook from Childe. Earlier, I was afraid of leaking secrets, and the son refused to do this, so I don't know how much money ran away. Since the son is relieved, this item will earn an extra few thousand taels of silver. By the way, there are still people who want to meet with Childe for tea, and they say that they will also give silver. Lin Gongzi, what do you think ......?"

"Yes. The same clearly marked price. If you want to drink tea and eat with me, a meal will cost you a hundred taels of silver. I can't do it with one less, and I don't want one more. But it's okay to say, I only eat and chat, but I don't sell my body. Lin Jue shook Erlang's legs and said.

Xie Danhong's body trembled with a smile covering her mouth, and she said continuously: "That's natural, we are the famous Lin Gongzi, in case that the daughter of the family admires the son, and spends money to see the son but plots against the son, wouldn't it be a big loss." Son...... Hehe, but if you don't sell your body, if you want to have a different idea, it will cost a lot of money, how can a hundred taels of silver be enough? At least a thousand taels of silver. ”

Lin Jue rolled his eyes and said in his heart: Fortunately, I explained it in advance, otherwise this woman is afraid that she will not be able to forget her old bustard's business, and she will really sell herself as a duck for silver? However, Lin Jue has already become a rich slave now, he wants to make money at all costs, although it is not to the point of selling his body, but he does not dislike these previous means of making money by relying on his fame now. On the contrary, I feel that the more the merrier, because I am now short of a large amount of silver to use on the people in Funiu Mountain, which is a life-saving thing.

Xie Yingying looked at the two people in front of her and was speechless, Xie Yingying was very smart and careful, she felt that Lin Gongzi was a little strange. In the past, Lin Jue didn't agree to use these means to make money, and he was also very cautious about raising the ticket price, always saying that if you have it, you can make it, and you don't need to be too greedy. But now it seems like a different person. Lin Gongzi would never do this to please his mother, could it be that Lin Gongzi has become a money addict now? Or is there a shortage of silver flowers?

Lin Jue noticed Xie Yingying's expression, turned back to her and smiled: "Miss Xie, don't be in a hurry to read the script, I will talk to you in detail later, so that you can better grasp the characters, and it is also convenient for you to guide others during rehearsals." ”

Xie Yingying said happily: "That's great, will the son stay for dinner?" Mom, then we have to prepare some food and drinks. ”

Xie Danhong was still quiet in joy, and when she heard this, she clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go and prepare, Yingying, you accompany Gongzi to talk, I'll go and prepare wine and good food." ”

……

In the small hall on the second floor, the candlelight is swaying, the table is full of dishes, and a jar of good wine sealed with mud exudes a rich fragrance. Lin Jue sat on the east mahogany chair, and next to him sat Xie Yingying, who had changed into a light-colored gown after bathing. Xie Yingying's hair bun was slightly wet, and her body exuded a faint fragrance after bathing.

"Young Master Lin, the slave family is a little rude to the son, and the slave family punishes himself with a cup to apologize." Xie Danhong picked up the wine glass and stood up, tilted his neck and drank it.

Lin Jue couldn't stop it, and said with a smile: "Sister Danhong doesn't have to be like this, you just counted right, but I have something inappropriate." However, will you give me some face next time Sister Danhong scolds? ”

Xie Danhong chuckled: "Don't scold the son anymore, the son is our benefactor of the Moon Tower, Danhong is a vulgar person, don't be surprised by the child." But then again, the slave family is indeed in a hurry, according to the instructions of the son, we have recently recruited a lot of manpower, in order to prepare for the opening of theater branches everywhere in the future. There are more than 200 people up and down, and so many people have to pay money, eat and dress, and the slave family feels pressure. That's why there is such a gaffe. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said: "I understand, but don't be short-sighted, now reserve manpower, train actors and miscellaneous craftsmen, this is to make it more convenient for future expansion." Next, I think we're going to have to get to the semicolon start-up. In the past, I wanted to expand in the surrounding cities, but now I think I should go directly to the capital to open a semicolon, if I can gain a firm foothold in the capital, it will be more conducive to radiating the north and south, and it will be more convenient to open a semicolon in the future. What do you say? ”

Xie Danhong said: "The slave family doesn't understand these big things very well, and this matter has to be done by the son." What the son says, what will the slave family do. However, to open a branch in the capital, I am afraid that the cost is not small. The price of land in the capital is very expensive, and if we want to build a big theater, we need at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. I'm afraid that all the money we earn will have to be invested in it, and this risk is too great. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "The investment is big, and the return is greater." The richest place in the capital will have a ticket price several times higher than that of Hangzhou in the future. I can't bear the child's wolf. However, this matter cannot be done for the time being, after all, the preliminary preparations have not been made. The market in the capital has not yet been investigated, and it is necessary to find out the situation before we can make preparations in all aspects. ”

"What Childe said is very true, Childe is afraid that he will have to take the time to go to the capital. These things are still done by the son, and it is not easy for us women to do it. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's natural, this matter is naturally up to me." ”

Xie Yingying said softly: "Mom, let's drink now, don't talk about those things." Lin Gongzi still hasn't eaten a mouthful of wine and food. ”

Xie Danhong slapped himself on the forehead and blamed: "Oh, I'm really sloppy." Come on, the slave family will give a cup to the son. ”

Xie Danhong drank all the wine in one gulp, Lin Jue smiled and raised his glass to drink, picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables. After Xie Danhong toasted another glass of wine, after three glasses of wine, his face was slightly red, and his body was a little swaying. It looks like he's going to get drunk.

"Mom, you don't drink a lot, don't drink like this, you'll get drunk later. Drink it slowly. Xie Yingying reminded in a low voice.

Xie Danhong said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't drink a few cups of Gongzi Lin, you still have something to talk about, I'm very eye-catching here, I am self-aware." ”

Xie Yingying glanced at Lin Jue with a red face, frowned and said in a low voice: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, are you drunk?" ”

Xie Danhong glared and said, "Drunk, why is there so little alcohol now, I'm dizzy." Well, I went back to my room to rest. Warbler, let me tell you......"

Xie Yingying instinctively felt that it was going to be bad, and she was busy trying to stop it, but Xie Danhong had already spoken: "I'll tell you, you have to seize the opportunity, if you don't seize it, I'm afraid you will have a lifelong grudge." You are thin-skinned, it is impossible to count on him to take the initiative, if you like Lin Gongzi, tell him, hold back and don't say it, torture yourself, in the end, you will be old, and you will have no chance. Don't blame mom for being verbose, you have to be proactive. Xie Danhong said.

Xie Yingying's face was blood-red, and she didn't drink a sip of wine, but at the moment, she seemed to have drunk wine. It was too rude to complain in my heart that Xie Danhong was sitting here, how could Lin Jue say these words. I was so ashamed that I wanted to go to the ground.

Lin Jue was also a little embarrassed, he heard it clearly and knew what Xie Danhong was talking about. Although I didn't name myself, it was clear. In desperation, I had to pretend to eat vegetables and pretend not to know.

Xie Danhong is actually not drunk, a person from the party, three glasses and five glasses are not a problem at all, and the current state is just her deliberate disguise. She just disguised herself by being drunk, and then said these words to pierce the window paper. It seems to be said to Xie Yingying, but it is actually said to Lin Jue. She wanted Lin Jue to know Yingying's affection for him and help Yingying's future, otherwise this matter would never be in trouble.

Having said these words, Xie Danhong didn't want to stay for long. So he got up and held his forehead and said: "The slave family is already dizzy, the slave family is rude, and the slave family retreats." Yingying accompanied Lin Gongzi to drink a few more glasses. ”

Without waiting for Lin Jue to speak, he was blessed, got up and went quickly.

Lin Jue and Xie Yingying were left sitting in the room, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. After a while, Lin Jue broke the embarrassment and said with a smile: "Is Sister Danhong's amount of wine so small?" I've only drunk three glasses of wine, and I'm already talking nonsense? ”

Xie Yingying blushed and whispered, "Childe is not strange. Mom is drunk and talking nonsense, don't be angry. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "If drunk words are not true, I won't be angry." Come on, come on, let's have a drink. ”

Xie Yingying felt slightly disappointed in her heart, on the one hand, she hoped that Lin Jue didn't care about her mother's nonsense just now, and on the other hand, Lin Jue really showed that she didn't care, but she felt empty in her heart. Didn't he understand? Or is it deliberately pretending not to understand? Either way, if he is so calm, that's ...... It's not merciless to me. Maybe Mom was right, it was impossible for me and him to do it.

Lin Jue didn't notice Xie Yingying's self-pity, and had already diverted the topic to the script. Xie Yingying cheered up and discussed the singing passages and plots in the two plays with Lin Jue, but for some reason she couldn't calm down.

After the repertoire was over, the two had already drunk a lot, and a small jar of wine had bottomed out. Xie Yingying screamed, and a young girl outside came in with a jar of wine and placed it on the table, the jar had been carefully opened, and the wine was fragrant inside.

Lin Jue drank it with a feeling, this wine is a good wine, Lin Jue hasn't drunk for many days, and at this moment he is accompanied by beautiful women, talk about it, and his mood is very relaxed. picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Xie Yingying, and the two drank two more glasses in an instant.

"Good wine, good wine. This jar seems to taste better, is Sister Danhong a big break today? Have you brought out your treasure of good sake? Lin Jue said with a smile.

Xie Yingying's face flushed when she also drank, and she smiled: "It's rare for my mother to be so generous, my mother has a small wine cellar, which is full of treasured good wine." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Secretly give her a drink another day." This wine is a little hot, can I take off my robe? It's not rude. ”

Xie Yingying pursed her lips and smiled: "What kind of faux pas is this, you are the owner here, you can do whatever you want." ”

Lin Jue did have some heat on his body, so he got up with a smile and took off his burqa outside. Xie Yingying hurriedly got up and hung the burqa on the coat hook for Lin Jue, and when she turned around, Lin Jue had another drink, and she was enjoying the aftertaste.

Xie Yingying poured a glass of wine for Lin Jue, and laughed softly: "By the way, I haven't asked how the son's big exam is?" ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I haven't posted a list yet, who can know." ”

"Needless to say, Childe will definitely go to high school. If you are a good learner of character, if you don't win, then God really has no eyes. Xie Yingying smiled.

Lin Jue laughed and said: "God is sometimes blind, so it's not okay to blame God." It's okay if you hit it, and if you don't hit it. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, you will definitely win. Does Childe know? On the day of the autumn exam, the slave family went to the entrance of Gongyuan Street, and they saw Gongzi and Green Dancing Little Tiger. I was afraid of disturbing my son, so I didn't talk to my son. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "You also went, why didn't you meet me?" So what's the bother? Is it to send Ruyi Langjun to the exam? ”

Xie Yingying blushed and said angrily: "Childe said that he laughed, how can Yingying have any wishful thinking?" Xie Yingying was wronged, and thought: I went to see you on purpose, but you said such things.

Lin Jue smiled: "Naturally, it's a joke, Miss Yingying is there to send me, right?" ”

Xie Yingying's heart was pounding, and she nodded: "Yes, for such a big thing as the Autumn Exam, the slave family naturally wants to do their part." I brought some food that day, and I wanted to give it to Childe. But then I heard that all food had to be cut and checked, and I brought pastries, and everything was broken when it was opened, and Childe was going to laugh at it, so I just thought about it. Little Sister Green Dance must be very well prepared, but I don't have to worry too much. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Yes, it is indeed very strict. Green Dance branded me a sugar cake, and it was cut into pieces, and the sugar hearts inside flowed out, which was a real mess. The small snack is even more unbearable, you are right, I can't eat it if you give it to me. ”

Xie Yingying nodded, and asked again, "How is Gongzi Qiuyu's exam?" Hey, I'm asking too much. With the talent of the child, he will naturally know how to go to high school. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "How can it be so easy. You're looking too highly of me, too. But I still have confidence in myself, if I can't do it, wouldn't it be an insult to Mr. Fang's name. ”

Xie Yingying nodded and said, "Childe is naturally in the meeting, and next year's spring festival will also be successful." After that, I will be an official. Childe will leave Hangzhou after becoming an official, and maybe we will never see each other again. ”

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What is this, you can still see it if you want to see nature, but it is just separated by mountains and rivers." Besides, who can say for sure about the imperial examination? Even if I have confidence, I still need the court's appreciation. ”

Xie Yingying said in a low voice: "Childe will definitely be in middle and high school, Yingying is very sure." Childe will have a good future, and Yingying is very happy. I salute my son's cup, and I wish my son a smooth sailing in autumn and spring, and he will soar in the future and be admired by the world. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

The two drank wine, and Xie Yingying's eyes were misty and said, "Will the son still remember Yingying by then?" I don't know where it will be. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "What? Will Miss YingYing miss me? ”

Xie Yingying lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. As soon as Lin Jue's words came out, he felt a little regretful in his heart. Since he didn't want to provoke Xie Yingying, why did he say such things to tease him. glanced at Xie Yingying, and suddenly for some reason, I felt that Xie Yingying was particularly beautiful today. A red face, a slender neck, a well-proportioned and feminine figure, and misty eyes after drinking. No matter which standard you measure, she is a stunning beauty.

Lin Jue suddenly thought: I shouldn't have escaped like this, such a beautiful girl, if she was delayed for life by herself, it would not be good. Or, I should make it clear to her.

"Miss Yingying, don't misunderstand, I mean, you and I are good friends, no matter where we are in the future, we will naturally think of each other."

Xie Yingying lowered her head and said softly: "The slave family understands that no matter where the son is in the future, Yingying ...... Yingying will never forget Childe. Yingying also hopes that Childe can remember me, so she will be satisfied. ”

Lin Jue sighed lightly and turned his head silently.

Xie Yingying glanced at Lin Jue and asked softly, "What's wrong with Gongzi Lin?" Did the warbler say the wrong thing? ”

Lin Jue shook his head, looked at Xie Yingying's red face, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Xie, actually...... I know your mind. I am not a plant and tree, how can I not know the girl's affection for me? Sister Shicai Danhong said those words, I know they were all said to me. Miss Xie is virtuous, beautiful, and has a good character, and Lin Jue also has a good impression of the girl. Every time he came to see the girl, Lin Jue felt like a spring breeze. In front of the girl, I felt very comfortable and comfortable. ”

Xie Yingying's eyes lit up, her eyes were full of joy, and her heart was full of thoughts. This was the first time Lin Jue took the initiative to say these words. He finally faced this problem, and he also admitted that he had a good impression of himself, so ...... He...... What will he do to me?

"But Miss Xie, I won't tell you, I already owe a debt to another person, and I don't dare to think about it anymore. So, I can't deceive you, and I can't give you anything. Lin Jue's deep voice continued to sound.

Xie Yingying's heart was shocked, and she raised her head and said, "Is it the little county lord of Liang Wangfu?" ”

Lin Jue was stunned and said in surprise: "How could you think of her?" ”

Xie Yingying said softly: "Yingying naturally knows, you and the little county lord have come here many times, although you deliberately keep your distance, but Yingying can see it." As a woman, you don't understand the sensitivity of these things. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand the intuition of a terrible woman. That's it, I won't hide it from you, I and the little county lord do ...... The two love each other, but our identities are very different, and we may not be able to be together. But I can't let her down, she's very good to me, and I don't want to be a bad person. ”

Xie Yingying frowned and said, "What does the matter between you and the little county lord have to do with Yingying?" Yingying didn't have the luxury of being the only woman by your side. Like Lin Gongzi's character, there are many women who love you, in fact...... It's also quite normal. Yingying does not want to be jealous, and Yingying does not expect one person to monopolize your heart, but only to ...... I just want to be able to serve my son's side, and I have a lifelong dependence. ”

Xie Yingying plucked up the courage to say these straightforward words, she felt that she had to show her attitude, maybe Lin Jue thought that she wanted to be the main house, so she didn't dare to accept her, and where did she have such extravagant expectations? If you don't say it clearly, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.

Lin Jue was a little moved, Xie Yingying frankly wanted to be his side room, which was naturally Lin Jue's dream. The more beautiful wives and concubines around, the better, this is every man's dream. Lin Jue didn't want to hypocritically say that he didn't want to, but Lin Jue was a person who crossed over, and he still couldn't feel at ease in his heart, and he always felt that it was a loss to do so. Unless he was truly willing, Lin Jue would not agree immediately.

"Miss Xie, Lin Jue is naturally very happy to be favored by the girl, but in this case, wouldn't it be unfair to you. With the girl's appearance and character, you can find a talented person to rely on, and it will be the identity of the main house, why do you need to do a side room. You should know that the status of the two is very different. Lin Jue said.

"Does Childe dislike Yingying's origin? Although Yingying was born in the dust, Yingying was clean and self-conscious, and never dared to defile herself. If Childe doesn't believe me, I'll ...... I ......" Xie Yingying's face turned red, her eyes glared at the boss, and she spoke incoherently.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "No, no, Miss Xie misunderstood, I didn't mean that." I know that the girl is clean and clean, and that she will not be stained by the mud, and I really think that the girl will have a better home. ”

Xie Yingying shook her head and said: "Childe doesn't need to explain, Childe said to me unintentionally, Yingying will not entangle, and she will not hate Childe." Childe Yingying's life-saving benefactor, from the day Childe saved Yingying's life, Yingying has already decided to serve Childe only in this life. For more than a year, Yingying has been very satisfied with being able to get acquainted with Childe and often listen to Childe's teachings. Childe wants me to marry someone else, which is absolutely impossible. I admit that there are many good men in this world, but who of them can be better than Lin Gongzi? After getting to know Gongzi, even though he was only eight years tall and looked like Pan An, he was no longer attractive in the eyes of Yingying. It's not that no one wants to marry Yingying, and in the past year, how many men have been willing to marry Yingying and give me the position of wife, but so what? If she is married to something she doesn't love, Yingying would rather not marry. ”

Lin Jue looked at Xie Yingying in a daze, he didn't expect that he had fallen in love with Xie Yingying to such a point in his heart, which made Lin Jue feel both vanity and helplessness in his heart.
