Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 215

Although Guo Kang has no experience, but judging from the performance of these two people, he can guess the general situation.

"Is this where you learned your drama knowledge?" He didn't answer riddles with Li Xuanying, but asked directly.

"Yes." Li Xuanying showed a look of nostalgia: "Has it been a few years? I have been in contact with a lot, and I understand a lot myself."

Guo Kang had recovered from the accident, and continued to ask tentatively, "Is Miss Odosia a local?"

"My family was originally in Theronica." Eudocia probably understood what Guo Kang wanted to know, and said, "My father, John Karagiannis, was a playwright and the owner of the troupe at the time. But after his death , the uncles told my mother that the troupe is the property of the family and cannot be monopolized by us.”

"This is not a rare thing." Li Xuanying obviously knew about it a long time ago, turned to Guo Kang and said, "Look, it's like this all over the world."

"So we are really Song Yuyu." Guo Kang muttered.

"What?" Li Xuanying didn't understand.

"I'll just say something casually." Guo Kang waved his hand, dealt with him, and turned back to Odosia: "So you joined the theater troupe and worked for them?"

"It's more tortuous than this." Odosia shook her head and said, "They actually don't want us to stay here, because many members of the troupe sympathize with us, making it difficult for them to continue to manage the operation of the troupe. So the uncles have thought of many ways, hoping forced us to leave."

"However, my mother is a smart and determined woman. She got help from some other friends. The uncles could only give in and allow her to stay and take part in the management. At the request of my mother, I also joined the theater troupe."

Hearing her words, Guo Kang didn't hesitate to look at her, and looked at her seriously: "This is hard work."

"Yes." Eudocia noticed his gaze, but still smiled calmly: "They hope that I will start from the simplest but also the most tiring job like an ordinary apprentice. But the writer who contributes to the troupe Mr. Manikas said that I have a talent for literature and let me learn to create from him."

"But you also know that it is very difficult to be recognized for a work written by a little girl. The uncles don't think this is feasible, saying it is a waste of manpower."

"Mr. Mannicas then proposed another plan. He said that the young boys recruited by the troupe recently were too dull to play their own roles. But in his script, such roles are indispensable. So , he asked me to perform on stage."

"Did he convince everyone?" Guo Kang asked.

"The uncles thought it was too ridiculous, but Mr. Manikas explained that he visited the scene all the year round and found that among young children, little girls generally mature earlier than little boys. And I have already been exposed to drama creation, and I must be more mature than other people. It is easier to understand the work and performance requirements. And, let a little girl play the boy, the appearance is not a big problem, and it can even play longer than ordinary boys.”

"He succeeded in persuading his mother, and then threatened his uncles by severing cooperation. He was well-known at the time, created several successful works, and was the best contributor on our side. The uncles did not dare to offend him, so they had to agree. .”

"After that, I used the name of Odoses, and while studying art theory and drama creation with him, I played some supporting roles on stage. In this way, I have been working here until now."

"This gentleman must be a kind person, I hope Heavenly Father will bless him." Guo Kang praised.

Odosia was silent for a while, Li Xuanying said, "He passed away more than a year ago."

"Ah... sorry. May he rest in peace." Guo Kang said, crossing himself.

"You are too polite." Odosia stood up and thanked: "Xuanying said, you are the son of Warmaster Guo Dawusi, and you have a glorious identity, but I see that you are so generous and approachable." , This time I met with my own eyes, so I understand your virtue. Please accept my thanks. I am really grateful for caring about us little people."

"No need to do this. You are brother Xuanying's friend, so you are also my friend. Right?" Guo Kang waved his hand while looking at Li Xuanying.

"Yes - you sit down first, don't be so rude." Li Xuanying also beckoned her to sit down.

"This is not a battlefield, and you are not my soldier. We don't need to care about status. Besides, I'm just an advisor to the church now, not a serious official." Guo Kang said.

"We are all citizens of Rome, but I am the son of the commander and you are the daughter of the creator. But this should not bring about a difference in personality." He said, turning to Li Xuanying:

"Caesar's power comes from every legionary soldier, not the nobles and elders - on the contrary, the nobles just want to kill him. Since our family has the title of Zhu Kingdom, we should know what we rely on. Are you right? ?”

"Yes." Li Xuanying nodded, and then said to Odosia: "Look, I said he must be a master of speech."

"I just like reading." Guo Kang shook his head.

Li Xuanying and Eudocia smiled at each other.

Although he didn't do it on purpose, for the Greeks, his habit of modesty did help create an image of "wisdom".For people in other European regions, it is also a manifestation of "powerful".

Of course, this kind of cognition did not exist from the beginning. Speaking of it, it should belong to the habit of being beaten by his ancestors.

Although the ancestor Guo Gai was once famous for his chivalry, he was actually a very educated person, and he always maintained a modest and cautious style of conversation.

In contrast, educated Greeks prefer this.Seeing his actual performance, you will feel that his modest words, like Socrates' famous saying "The only thing I know is that I know nothing", are the result of a wise man's sober cognition of himself.

It's a pity that the aboriginal nobles in many other places seem to lack understanding of this. They probably really took Guo Gai's polite words seriously, thinking that he is weak and stupid.After the fight was over and they found out that they were the ones who were weak and stupid, many people became angry again, thinking that Guo Gai was cunning and cruel, and he was not considered a good man by pretending to be weak and weak to deceive others.

However, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to accept the reality if you get beaten too much.So over time, this habit has gradually been accepted.

After introducing Guo Kang, Li Xuanying specifically asked: "Let's know what's going on here, don't tell it. This is her secret. Except for the troupe managers, only a few senior actors know about it. The newcomers in the past few years don’t know.”

"Odosia is also quite famous now, so everyone tacitly doesn't mention it. After all, you also know that if the audience suddenly learns that the goddess they are pursuing is actually a lady, many people will not accept it."

Although this may sound awkward, it is true today.

Of course, Guo Kang still felt that Li Xuanying was unnecessary.According to the performance of the two in the past, his words reminded him that they were pretty much the same.

But when he saw Odosia next to him, he realized again - Li Xuanying might not have said this to himself, but to Odosia.I don't know if it's to show that I care about the other party, and I've already thought about it for her; or it's just to reassure her, to show that I will tell Guo Kang what I have to say.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Xuanying brought him to the theater was a bit blunt.In the end, before he even got down to business, he ran here in a daze.It is estimated that he did it on purpose.

Li Xuanying will devise a strategy, theoretically it is something to be happy about.But the level of his strategy is really beyond praise.Moreover, Guo Kang was very suspicious, not only himself, but Miss Odocia had already seen through Li Xuanying's thoughts.In this case, the method he thought of with all his heart may become a joke.

Thinking of this, Guo Kang said directly: "I just came to ask someone about the situation, and I want to find out some questions about the blacksmith. Don't worry, these things have nothing to do with your identity, and you don't need to take risks."

Eudocia nodded to him to express her thanks, and then said softly, "Since you are Xuanying's friend, I will try my best to help you if you need anything. But why do you come here to ask about the blacksmith?" "

"I thought about that incident and found that it might not be just a conflict between the blacksmiths." Guo Kang explained: "Behind the incident, it should be the activities of those Ross people's groups. Therefore, I want to find out and solve it. this problem."

"But, you also know that you are the son of the Warmaster. Our positions are different after all." Eudocia calmly described the situation she understood: "No matter how rampant the Ross gang is, it is only the power of the bottom of the people. Possibly against the Khan Court."

"You only need to ask someone to issue a few orders to complete the work, why do you have to come here and check the news?" She asked: "With all due respect-I don't think this is a good choice, nor does it meet the requirements of the government. As far as I know, the habits of superiors. Unless you have other plans, or, mainly hope to get fresh fun from it?"

"Although it has nothing to do with me, I can still try my best to help." Before Guo Kang could answer, she continued to explain her purpose: "If you don't care, can you tell me the reason?"

"Although this is not something to be proud of, I know the situation here better than you and Xuanying. If you can tell me, I can do my best to help you where you need it most."

"No problem, this is not something worth keeping secret." Guo Kang still said truthfully: "I believe that human society is composed of various orders superimposed on each other. In this city, there are two types of orders at the same time. One is what you said, the order imposed from the top down; the other is the order formed spontaneously by the lower layers."

"The problem this time obviously comes from the latter, so I also hope to find out the problem and solve it directly within this order." He said: "I believe this change will benefit everyone. How? Let your friends Come to help?"
