In the small hall, Lin Jue, Xie Yingying and Xie Danhong sat across from each other and drank tea. The topic naturally revolved around Lin Jue's first place in Qiuwei. While talking, Xie Danhong's expression was quite reserved and respectful, because she finally realized that she
The identity of Mr. Lin in front of him is already extraordinary.
Although Lin Jue was the third son of the Lin family in the past, after all, Lin Jue was not only a common man but also an ordinary citizen, so the sense of identity gap was not strong. However, now Lin Jue is already Duke Jie Yuan.
, after the Spring Examination at the end of March next year, he may become a superior person. Naturally, Xie Danhong would not dare to treat Mr. Lin like before.
However, she was also a little lucky that she finally clarified the relationship between Yingying and Lin Jue before that. Now that the relationship between the two is harmonious, Lin Jue also promised to marry Yingying as his concubine. No matter what happens to Lin Jue in the future, her mother can still
Fortunately, Yingying is very good to me. With her here, I will still have someone to rely on when I grow old.
After chatting for a while, Lin Jue got to the point.
"Yingying, there is something I want to tell you in advance. I will leave Hangzhou for the capital in two days. Therefore, we may be apart for several months, and I won't be able to see you often."
"Lang Lang wants to go to the capital? Why do you want to go at this time? It's still early in spring next year, and it's too late to go in February after the new year. Why is it so urgent?" Xie Yingying asked in surprise with her eyes wide open.
"It's like this. My teacher, Mr. Fang, has gone to the capital in September. My teacher and his wife are old and have no children. As a disciple, I have never fulfilled my filial piety. This time I won the prize in Qiu Wei, and both
The teacher taught me well. Anyway, the Spring Festival is held in the capital, and I have to go early and late, so I simply went early. On the one hand, I can serve my husband and my wife in their daily lives, and do my best to be a disciple. On the other hand,
The Spring Examination is more important than the Autumn Examination. If you stay by your side, you can also receive Master's guidance, which will be more conducive to the Spring Examination."
Lin Jue explained softly, but in fact he couldn't tell Xie Yingying the real reason. He was indeed leaving Hangzhou in a few days. But he was not going to the capital, but to attend to a major event that had been planned for so many days.
The royal palace's convoy transporting the equipment was due to leave in five days. He had to leave in advance to make complete preparations to get the equipment. Naturally, these things could not be discussed explicitly with Xie Yingying.
Xie Yingying looked a little sad when she heard this. During this time, she and Lin Jue were having a passionate affair. Lin Jue also came to stay with Xie Yingying almost every day or two. Suddenly Lin Jue had to leave Hangzhou.
In the capital city, I suddenly felt empty in my heart.
"So that's it. It's the right thing to serve your teacher and mistress, and it's also the right thing to prepare for next spring. I understand. But after the young master leaves, I'm afraid it will be a long time before we can see each other again." Xie Yingying said sadly.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "From now to the end of spring, well... it is indeed quite long, I guess it will take a little half a year. Everything will probably be settled in April next year."
Xie Yingying frowned for a while and sighed: "It's almost November now, and it will be half a year until April next year. It's so long."
Lin Jue comforted him: "Six months will pass soon. As soon as spring starts next year and the peach blossoms bloom, we can meet again."
Xie Yingying was stunned and speechless, her eye circles a little red.
Xie Danhong couldn't hold it in any longer and interjected: "Why don't we take Yingying with us? I just happen to be serving Mr. Lin too. Six months is too long, why do you have to suffer for such a long time? The Grand Theater doesn't need it.
Worry, our main actors are already about the same, so it’s time for them to come out and show their faces. Anyway, Yingying will marry Mr. Lin sooner or later, so why should she show up and act in public all day long to look down on others? We might as well just follow Mr. Lin this time."
Xie Yingying's eyes lit up and she glanced at Lin Jue inquiringly. However, she found that Lin Jue's brows were furrowed. She immediately felt a pain in her heart and whispered: "Mom, don't say anything. The young master is on business.
What's the point of taking me with you? I'm not his person now."
Lin Jue wanted to reject the proposal outright, but after hearing Xie Yingying's words, he felt a little pity. However, it was impossible to take her with him. This time he was not really going to the capital.
"Yingying, I understand what you are thinking. I don't want to be separated from you for so long, but it is really inconvenient to take you there. It is already the severe winter season and the waterway is blocked. I have to go to the capital by land. It is windy and cold and I have to sleep in the open air.
, even a grown man can’t bear it, let alone you? Even I, riding a horse and walking overland, took advantage of the heavy snow in the north that has not yet fallen, so I have to rush to the capital to get there. I have to take a big car with you.
There is still a lot of luggage, and I am afraid that it will be blocked by the heavy snow in the Jianghuai area, and it will be far away. Who can afford to spend a month or more on the road?"
"Yingying... understand. Yingying won't go, mom is just talking." Xie Yingying whispered.
Lin Jue reached out and held her warm hand and said: "Let's do this. I will go to the capital first before the new year. If you miss me, you can go to the capital to reunite with me as soon as the waterway opens after the new year. I will also be in the capital.
You have just settled down, so you don’t have to worry about it. In the two months at the end of the year, you can also train the people who are training successors at the Grand Theater so that they can take charge of their own business. Sister Dan Hong is right, you always
We have to get away. We can’t become my wife of the Lin family in the future and have to perform on stage in the theater for people to watch, right? We can’t ignore the Grand Theater, we still have to carry it forward. We have made arrangements for you to come to the capital after the new year and
I am reunited, and we can also discuss the matter of opening a theater in the capital. Everything can be done smoothly, what do you think?"
Xie Yingying thought for a while and smiled: "You're right, I really can't just throw away my hands and leave. Those key trainees in our theater are not yet able to take charge of their own affairs, and they have been doing some training in secret in the past few months. Lang Jun is still considerate in handling things.
, everything has been thought of. Then I will go to the capital in the spring next year, and you don’t have to rush back. After the spring, we will open a semicolon in the capital anyway, so we will simply live there. If Lang Jun is in Chunwei High School, he will also be in the capital.
Those who become officials cannot come back. This is the best of both worlds."
Xie Danhong also smiled and said: "Young master Lin is still thoughtful. The slave family just talked nonsense. Don't take offense."
Lin Jue waved his hands and said with a smile: "If you see anything weird, it doesn't matter."
Xie Danhong thought for a while and suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted: "Oh, I'm afraid it won't work."
"What?" Lin Jue and Xie Yingying were both stunned by her surprise.
"What will happen to our Grand Theater when the young master leaves?" Xie Danhong said with a sad face.
"We are here, what are you afraid of?" Xie Yingying asked in confusion.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Sister Danhong means that after I leave, no one will write new plays, and future business will be affected. Is that what you mean?"
Xie Danhong nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right. The young master is gone. I can still deal with it in the past two months. After all, the two new dramas can last until the end of the year. But what should I do after that? Do we have to repeat the previous drama? Don't.
I forgot, the young master has sold so many storybooks this time, and some theaters have already started to perform our plays. If we go back to the past, I'm afraid no one will come to see them. It won't be fresh anymore."
When Xie Yingying heard this, she also realized that this was a problem and cast a questioning look at Lin Jue.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sister Danhong, I will naturally arrange these things. First of all, I have taken the time to write two plays a few days ago. I will give them to you to polish them before I leave."
"That's great. It turns out that the young master has made preparations a long time ago, so the slave family is worried for nothing. Just saying, how could the young master just throw away and leave without caring about the Grand Theater? Hahaha." Xie Danhong was overjoyed when he heard this and took a photo.
He slapped his hands and smiled.
Xie Yingying also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Jue with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "It's my own business, why bother talking about it? However, what I want to tell you is that these two new plays should be the last scripts I write for the Grand Theater, and I will not write again after that.
."
"What? Master, you don't want to write any more? Then what will we act in from now on?" Xie Danhong exclaimed in astonishment.
Lin Juedao: "Listen, I'm not very interested in writing scripts. I did it reluctantly in order to keep the Jiangnan Grand Theater in business. Now that the theater is on the right track, the creation of scripts should also be on the right track.
The right track is the way to go. You can’t just rely on me to write the script. Since we want to develop and expand the scale of the Grand Theater, we must have a standardized process. For example, the script cannot be done without me.
Acting, this is not normal. Besides, as for me, I probably don’t have much thought or time to spend on it. I think you can understand what I say.”
Xie Danhong smacked her lips with a grimace, while Xie Yingying frowned and thought for a while and nodded: "I think Lin Lang is right. If Lin Lang becomes an official in the future, will he still write scripts for us? I don't know how many big things he will be busy with in the future.
Do we still have to force him to take time to write scripts for us? In the future, if the Grand Theater has branches all over the country and dozens of plays are performed every day, then Lin Lang will spend all his time doing these things.
?This is obviously not possible."
"Yingying, your back hurts when you stand and talk. If Mr. Lin doesn't write, what are we going to do?" Xie Danhong smacked her lips.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you before I leave. The reason why our grand theater is prosperous is that the scripts are the same, the lighting and shadow methods of the slides are the same, and the other is the skills of our performers.
Although the script is important, it is only one part of it. And scripts are actually not difficult to write. It is just about writing stories that people like to read. So I think that if we want to have a steady stream of scripts, we must establish a dedicated
The team that wrote the script came out.
"Team?" Xie Yingying asked with a frown.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, just like the current internal division of labor in our Grand Theater. Those who specialize in performances, those who specialize in making scenery and props, those who specialize in slides and shadows are responsible for their affairs. Those who sell tickets, tea and wait for people clean the venue.
The gatekeepers, etc., all perform their duties, so that our grand theater can proceed in an orderly manner. Everything has procedures, which is the fundamental reason why there are no mistakes and the business is booming. Establish a team dedicated to writing scripts
The team, their job is to write scripts for our grand theater and polish them into good scripts, so that there will be a steady stream of scripts coming out at any time, and there will never be a situation where there is no play to perform."
Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying looked at Lin Jue blankly, with some doubts in their hearts.
