Pastoral Trifles: The Poor Girl Turns Over

Chapter 335 Su Zhen Watching a Theater 4
Although the status of opera singers is not high, but because drama is not something ordinary people can afford, the general troupe charges at least 200 Wen per person.

But I didn't expect that the price of Cheng's class was lowered by half, and if there were only two of them in the whole hall, it wouldn't even be enough for the basic daily expenses!
The two were hesitating when a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out from behind the stage. He had a beard on his face, big eyes with double eyelids, a high nose bridge, slightly curled purple lips, and was dressed in gray-brown civilian clothes. The ravine between the brows is deep, full of vicissitudes of experience.

Ben has a serious face, but his expression is also polite and friendly.

When he came out, he smiled and said to Xiao Linzi: "Forget it, no money will be charged."

"Master!" Xiao Linzi froze for a moment, Zixia followed her words, "Master, let's..."

She hesitated to speak, but it made the man's face even more serious, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes very quickly.

Song Fanhua asked suspiciously: "I don't know the name of Master, but what difficulties did you encounter?"

"My lord, my surname is Cheng, and I'm the owner of this troupe. What's the problem? Hey! Since last month, the troupe has fewer and fewer customers. There are no customers in the store, so it can't continue! But don't worry, my lord. Today is our last performance, and we will definitely do our best!"

Boss Cheng smiled, his voice hoarse, as if he had been smoked.

Cheng Huan said: "We were introduced by the shopkeeper of the inn, saying that you once went to the capital to perform, why are you in this situation now?"

Boss Cheng looked sideways at Cheng Huan, but was suddenly stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with waves, seeing Cheng Huan looking over inquiringly again, he hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover up his uneasiness.

"It's a long story. We were the number one theater in Su Town at the beginning, but since my daughter passed away two months ago, the team has lost its mainstay, and it has started to go downhill. Last month, the capital came. A Jinghua class, our theater sang well, so we left with them. To support the theater, it would take ten people no matter what, and the cost is too high. With the current situation, it is really impossible to continue."

Boss Cheng shook his head helplessly, and his heart ached even more when he thought of his former glory.

Song Fanhua looked around, frowned and said, "Listen to what Boss Cheng said, since he was the top card at the beginning, he naturally made money, so why not hire a few good singers, then the theater can be brought back to life ?"

Boss Cheng said: "The leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain. I can only say that the life of the old man was miserable. My daughter was burned to death in the fire, and my throat was also destroyed by the smoke. I lost all my belongings. Now only my apprentice is left. The money we paid when we left, this hall will be rented out soon, so it doesn’t matter whether we make money or not today!”

"Then what's the boss's plan?" Song Fanhua asked again, thinking that Boss Cheng has only been two months since he was brilliant.
Lost her daughter, ruined her voice, and the apprentices who depended on each other left one after another. The old man in front of him is really pitiful.

"I can get some silver when the shop changes hands, and I will share it with these apprentices at that time, and I will go back to my hometown to farm!" Boss Cheng said helplessly, looking around, with deep reluctance in his heart.

"Master, woo woo!" Xiao Linzi was the first to cry. He was originally an orphan, and he followed his master since he was a child.
