After seeing off the guests, Lin Jue went directly to the backstage. The atmosphere in the backstage was extremely lively. Guo Caiwei and Green Dance had been having a heated discussion with a group of women for a long time. The performance was so successful that all the cast and crew were also encouraged.
Xie Danhong sat at a table like a rich man. The table was piled with silver, and there were bracelets and rings mixed in. It must have been that the audience had thrown away a lot of rings and bracelets on their fingers just now when they came on stage.
Consider it a reward. Like a miser, Xie Danhong listened to everyone talking while looking at the pile of money and smiled from ear to ear.
When Lin Jue came in, all the girls saluted. Lin Jue smiled and said, "Well done, this premiere couldn't be more successful. So far, I haven't heard a bad comment.
.Congratulations to you all, congratulations to you all.”
"I'm so happy, I'm so happy. If it weren't for Young Master's guidance and personal design, how could it have such an effect. Young Master's contribution should account for more than half of it." Qin Xiaoxiao laughed loudly.
"Yes, yes," the girls agreed.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. This is a big show, and everyone's efforts can achieve such an effect. I have to praise Miss Qin, who made her debut on stage, with superb and sophisticated acting skills. I was worried about going too far. After all,
There are some villains. I thought that for Miss Qin to gain a foothold in this theater, she should be given a positive role. But what I didn’t expect was that Miss Qin played the role just right and was amazing. This is what Hong Luan looks like in my mind.
He is both hateful and pitiful, hateful and innocent at the same time. He is just a victim of fate. Well, he acted well. Yingying's performance today was not as good as yours."
Xie Danhong said dissatisfiedly: "You don't need to support one and step on the other. Yingying's performance is very good, but if you want to support Miss Qin, her role is even more brilliant."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "That's right, that's right. Eh? Is this pile of silver the result of a reward?"
Xie Danhong smiled and said: "Yes, more than four thousand taels, I have already counted them. This is an extra reward."
Lin Jue said: "I have a suggestion."
When Xie Danhong saw that Lin Jue was staring at Yinzi in a wrong way, she suddenly panicked and said hurriedly: "Don't..."
But it was too late, Lin Jue had already spoken out: "We will divide these more than four thousand taels of silver equally. The protagonists, supporting actors, painters, musicians, sweepers, and miscellaneous people, each one will be counted as a big red envelope for the theater's good start today.
how?"
"Okay!" All the actors and women cheered. When the news spread outside, a group of musicians, painters, light and shadow servants outside also cheered.
Xie Danhong glared at Lin Jue with a bitter look on her face and said, "What are you doing? You are quite generous. Four thousand taels of silver are just gone like this?"
Xie Yingying smiled and said: "Mom, be more open-minded. If everyone is in a good mood and the performance is more successful, wouldn't it be possible to earn more reward money? Why is mom still so stingy? How about putting out a play and portraying mom as a miser?"
Lin Jue applauded: "The miser, the miser who lives without any money, this is a good idea. This character will definitely shine. Let Sister Danhong play her true character, and she will definitely become an instant hit."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Xie Danhong cursed: "A group of heartless people, if their money is left unguarded, it won't last long."
"I know, I know." Xie Yingying smiled.
The group of people were in a happy mood, chattering like water ducks in the hall. Lin Jue walked up to Qin Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, today's premiere was an instant hit. From now on, the theater in the east and second wings will be entrusted to you.
.”
Qin Xiaoxiao's excited face flushed, and she bowed her head and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. Xiaoxiao, thank you so much for taking me in. From now on, I will make the theater my home. I will work hard and live up to my expectations."
Qianqian shouted: "Tonight, we have to drink. Mr. Lin sent someone to fetch the bamboo leaves and greens from your house, so that we can all have a good drink."
When everyone heard the words drinking and bamboo leaf green, they all looked a little wrong. Lin Jue also looked embarrassed. When it came to drinking bamboo leaf green, insiders naturally thought of what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. Mr. Lin and Bai Bing drank
The embarrassing incident of being drunk and cuddling all night came to mind again.
Lu Wu rolled her eyes at Qianqian and said in a low voice: "Why don't you open a certain pot? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qianqian also remembered this matter, stuck out her tongue and pressed her mouth, saying: "Oh, I forgot. I can't talk about this matter. It calmed down so easily."
Lin Jue's face felt feverish, and he coughed quickly and said: "There are still guests in the box upstairs. I have to go and greet him. It's not good to keep him waiting for too long."
Guo Caiwei said angrily: "Aren't all the guests gone? Where are there any more guests?"
Lin Jue said: "I haven't left yet. Your cousin Huai Wang Guo Xuke is in the first box. He said he wants to wait for me to talk about something. I don't know what he wants to say. He can only come to see off the guests first and talk to you.
We have to go and see him face to face. He is the prince and we cannot afford to offend him."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Guo Caiwei frowned and said: "It's strange. You don't have any friendship with him. It's very strange that he came to congratulate you today. Is there any intention?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "You are too suspicious. What can you have? I am powerless, what can I have? Don't think too much, I will come as soon as I go. If you stay, please talk to Yingying and the others.
, if you want to go home first, just go back with Lu Wu first, you don’t have to wait for me.”
Lin Jue walked out from behind and went up to the second floor of the theater. In the first box, Huai Wang Guo Xu was sitting quietly drinking tea. Lu Tianci seemed to be unable to sit still and was twisting around on the stool. When he saw Lin Jue
When they came up, Lu Tianci stood up and shouted: "Hey, you Lin Jue, you are too ungrateful to keep us here for so long without coming. That's all I want, my prince, are you so negligent?"
Lin Jue hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "You are right to scold me, you are right to scold me. It is indeed rude. Your Highness, Prince Huai, will forgive me."
Prince Huai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Have all the guests left?"
Lin Jue said: "They are all gone."
Prince Huai nodded and said: "It seems that your grand theater is running a great business. Just now I heard bursts of cheers and applause from outside. I must be very happy."
Lin Jue answered truthfully: "I just distributed the money I got from today's reward to everyone in the theater, so they cheered. They are ordinary people, so they are naturally happy to get money, which made your highness laugh."
Guo Xu chuckled and said: "I see, you are a good boss. The people below you must love you very much."
"Everywhere, we still have to rely on their efforts. Naturally, we have to maintain a good relationship and not be too harsh on them. They are also real people. Treat them well and they will do well. This is all mutual." Lin Juexiao.
road.
Guo Xu nodded and said: "That's the truth. People's lives are simple. They only give money to do things and don't think too much. Lin Jue, I am quite envious of you. Be a small official and open a small business.
, be a small business owner. Earn some money and spend it however you want, go wherever you fall in love, be carefree and happy."
Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be ridiculous. What is there to envy me like this? I have no future. Your Highness will be a person who will do great things in the future, serve the country and the people, and have the world in mind. That is the place for heroes."
Why? We are just ordinary people who are content with themselves and take shelter under the edifice of my great Zhou Dynasty. At a young age, we are hopeless, at a long time, we are useless people with no ambitions and only know about food and clothing.
That’s all.”
Guo Xu laughed loudly and said: "It's funny, it's funny. I didn't expect you to evaluate yourself like this. The top scholar actually said such a thing. You know, most of the people who have won the imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty are generals."
He became a prime minister and became a pillar of the imperial court. You, the champion, look down on yourself so much."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "How dare you compare with the predecessors and sages, I don't have such high talents. I don't want to become a pillar of the imperial court, but whenever the imperial court has an errand, it must live up to its mission."
Guo Xu smiled and nodded: "If you say this, I believe it even more. Many people have great ambitions and want to eat a fat man in one bite. The imperial court uses him, but he has no real talent and learning. The imperial court does not use him, and he talks weird things.
, saying that he has no talent. What this person fears most is that he cannot be down-to-earth. Lin Jue, you are undoubtedly a down-to-earth person. And I also know that you are not a person without real talents and learning. That day in the palace of my second uncle, I
I told you that I have gotten to know you before and I know what you are capable of."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Highness has embarrassed me. I can't bear it."
Guo Xu leaned back on the chair and waved his hand towards the back. Several guards immediately turned around and left. Lu Tianci sat motionless like a piece of meat. Guo Xu frowned and said, "Uncle, please step aside."
Lu Tianci was surprised and said, "Should I avoid it too?"
Guo Xu frowned and said, "Yes, didn't you hear me clearly?"
Lu Tianci had no choice but to mutter a few words, get up and go out.
Guo Xu turned back, looked at Lin Jue and smiled bitterly: "As an uncle, if I could learn even 10% of my grandfather's talents, he wouldn't be like this now. It's a pity that my grandfather is wise and wise, but his son is so miserable.
He is really a father of a tiger and a son of a dog, and he doesn’t know what to teach others.”
Lin Jue did not dare to say anything. Guo Xu actually spoke so highly of his uncle, which was beyond Lin Jue's expectation. So far, Lin Jue's evaluation of Guo Xu has been very high. Maybe he is a wealthy man.
Although he is a person, he is indeed a person with his own thoughts, and his demeanor is calm and calm, without the slightest bit of domineering arrogance. All this gave Lin Jue a good impression.
However, what Lin Jue cares about most now is not what kind of person Guo Xu really is, but what he wants to say to him. At present, it seems that the purpose of his coming today is not to watch the show and congratulate him. At this moment, everyone retreated, and it seemed that he had
It looked like he was telling a secret. This made Lin Jue feel a little anxious, not knowing what was going to happen.
