Chapter 185: The Star of the Theater (I)
The Swan headed west along the Chishui River, and May stood at the bow of the ship, her eyes looking straight ahead. She wasn't here to enjoy the scenery, she just wanted to see the docks in the border town earlier.
"How long do we have to get to our destination?" she asked impatiently.
"It's almost there, Miss May. It's sun-drenched here, so you'd better go back to the cabin and rest. Gate, who was behind him, said. You don't have to look to know that he must have a flattering smile on his face at the moment.
Looking back, Maye found that it was indeed the case, "When you told me before, it was already fast, and now it is still fast?
"Uh......" he was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally scratched his head, "I was last here ten years ago. ”
"You can make Changge Fortress change its owner in a year, let alone ten years?" Maye said angrily, "But there are exceptions, I don't think you have changed much, ten years are like a day, and you have never been able to get on the stage." ”
Seeing the other party retreat with a stiff smile, she finally felt a little more comfortable. If it weren't for Erin's news, she really didn't want to go to the border town on the same boat with this group of miscellaneous actors.
As the star actress of the Fortress Theater, she is quite famous throughout the West, and this time she was invited by the Tower Theater to perform "The Prince Seeking Love" in the Gray Castle Royal Capital. The performance was so successful that even the master of the theater, Mr. Caquin Fez, praised her for playing the role of the martyred princess, although she did not play the heroine, but she left no more impression than the heroine.
But when she rushed back to the Changge Fortress in high spirits, she found that the place had changed drastically. Duke Ryan was defeated and killed, and the fortress fell to the fourth prince, Roland Wimbledon, and is currently in the custody of Perro Hermont of the Honeysuckle family...... Less than a year after he left, the West Frontier became unfamiliar.
Fortunately, the political turmoil at the top had little impact on the theater, and if it was just like this, it would only add a little after-dinner conversation for Mei and the sisters, but the news that the first knight of the Western Frontier was captured by Dawn Dawn suddenly made her heart tug at her.
Mei immediately rushed to the theater to ask Erin about the situation, only to find out that she had also gone to the border town half a month earlier, probably to reunite with her husband. The news made Mei feel disappointed and mixed with a little envy.
Also working in the theater, she is a well-deserved top brand, Erin is a newcomer who has not yet emerged, the title of Tomorrow's Flower is just from the mutual praise of that group of miscellaneous actors; in terms of appearance, she has the confidence that she will never lose to the other party; in terms of family background, although she is from a civilian background, but Erin is just an orphan adopted by the theater, no matter how you look at it, she is much better than the other party.
However, what made Mei difficult to let go of was that Dawn Morning Filmin Hilter fell in love with the innocent-looking Irene, and then even gave up the inheritance of the family in order to marry her.
"Look, farmland," someone shouted, "we're not far from the border town." ”
Mei looked to the left of the side of the boat and saw rows of knee-high wheat stalks swaying in the wind, and farmers wearing straw hats busy in the fields, as if they were in the middle of a turquoise ocean. The wheat fields stretch to the west with the sparkling water of the river, and there is no end in sight.
"This view is so beautiful, Miss May," Roxia nodded as she walked over to her, "I didn't expect to see a vast farmland in this remote place that is not inferior to the fortress of Changge. ”
"It's nothing compared to the royal capital," said May, disapprovingly, "and there, the wheat fields can even connect the two cities, and it's tiresome to see all the way except wheat and wheat." ”
"Yes," she smiled awkwardly, "I've never been that far. ”
Well, this is the reaction that ordinary people should have, Mei thought, if Erin heard this, I am afraid that she would only show a look of envy and ask herself to tell more. "Don't worry, you'll have a chance to go later. ”
"I hope so," Roxia patted her chest, "thank you for your encouragement." ”
I mean you can take a caravan ride to the royal capital for only a few silver wolves, not that you can also go to the royal capital to perform a play, Mei Yi rolled her eyes in her heart. But after all, the other party is Erin's friend, and Mei is too lazy to say all these words.
Roxia joined the theater earlier than her, and was the same age as herself, but due to her mediocre appearance and poor memory, she never got the opportunity to perform on the stage. Aside from Erin, there were few people in the theater willing to take care of her.
"Does Erin know we're here today?" Maye asked.
"I wrote back to her with a date and she should be at the dock to meet us. ”
"That's good," she nodded, "I don't want to be alone looking for a hotel to stay in a strange town. ”
"May I ask you?" Miss May," Roxia hesitated, "why did you go to town with us, and secretly conceal it from the theater? Erin's letter says that there may be a chance to appear here, but you don't lack a chance. ”
"If you're honest, do you think the theater will let me come to this hellish place?" Maye pouted, "as for why I'm here...... I just want to see how my theater mates are doing. ”
She didn't know why she had made this impulsive decision, the Changge Fortress Theater had a major play to perform in the next two days, and now that she was gone, I was afraid that the theater owner would have a headache. Although there are still a few reserve female characters, without her, the nobles probably won't buy it, and if it's serious, they will protest to the theater.
To be honest, this is not a wise choice, and Mei knows this in her heart, no matter how famous she is, she has to rely on the theater to exist. If she annoyed the theater owner, she simply refrigerated her and re-promoted a new female character, she couldn't do anything. Either you have to compromise and admit your mistakes, or you have to leave the place and compete with the pillars of other theaters.
Otherwise...... After seeing Film, take the boat back to the fortress, right?, Maye thought.
"I see," Roxia nodded, "Irene's going to be very surprised to see you." ”
The scenery along the riverbank gradually became richer, and there were more tents and wooden houses on this side of the Desperate Mountains. It was close to noon, and the peasant women were busy making porridge and stew, smoke rising from the living quarters, and Mei could still occasionally smell the smell of wheat. The children gathered by the river to play, and the better ones stripped themselves and plunged into the river to the cheers of their companions, and then climbed ashore triumphantly.
Maye finally saw the long-awaited dock.
After the Swan docked, Gates and Sam volunteered to take care of all the ladies' luggage. As soon as the group stepped off the trestle, Roxia was already excitedly shouting, "Irene!"
Mei Yi followed the other man's shouts and saw a woman in a white dress waving vigorously at them by the dock, and a tall man standing beside her, even from a long distance, could tell from his tall and muscular posture that he was heroic.
Dawn and morning light, Philin Hilter.
May's memory became clear again. (To be continued.) )
