Chapter 454 Forced Buying and Selling
After the Yuefu Opera Club became popular in the capital, more actors were needed. Young actors are especially lacking.

Most of the people who engage in this "mean business", which is called "mean business" by wealthy people, are from poor families who cannot afford to eat, so they have to take the road of entertaining people. They are too poor to put food on the table, let alone send their children to study.

The young actors told them about the play, but they couldn't understand the script. This was not a big problem, but they had to be smart, understand the play, and know how to read the eyes.

However, most children from poor families rarely go out and have little experience. They dare not raise their eyes when meeting people or make eye contact with the audience. They look timid, often lower their heads, and their faces are not expressive enough. , the emotion is not full enough.

It's hard to find just one or two young actors like Mo Xiaobei from a thousand miles away. After cultivating Xiaoguozi for so long, he has only gotten better and is no longer dissatisfied with others.

Lin Zhaoxia then told her subordinates that if they saw any suitable children outside, they could invite them back. Lin Jing'an also received this order. But Lin Zhaoxia didn't know yet whether he had brought someone back.

Now that the manager of the theater club said that there was no such person as Wen Youliang, I felt that Wen Hongxing had made a mistake.

"It's unmistakable! I've inquired, and my brother was sent here! His family said so too!" Wen Hongxing looked excited. It took more than half a month to find the capital, but now he said that his brother is not here. , how willing she was.

Someone from the crowd of onlookers shouted: "This girl's brother is a good citizen. No matter how powerful the King of Yue is, he cannot do anything like buying and selling by force!"

"That's right, you can't buy or sell by force!"

There are also less intense ones, "If it's a misunderstanding, just give the person back, what's the point of covering it up like this?"

"Nonsense! Where are we covering up!"

When the steward saw someone slandering the princess and questioning the prince's reputation, he was very angry, "He is just a child, and we are still pointing fingers at him for making a fortune! Do we need to cover it up?"

It's not like he's a character on the cards. It's really ridiculous that the whole theater club is pointing at a child who can't make a living.

"If this person has been sent out a long time ago, will he perform a big show for you at this door for free? If Miss Wen doesn't believe it, you can go in and look for her. We won't stop you, and everyone can follow him."

The onlookers were whispering to each other and talking a lot.

Since someone among the onlookers was incited, Lin Zhaoxia stopped talking and just stood there and watched.

After seeing some movement, he paused for a moment and signaled with his eyes to the boy who was following him. He stared at the few who were making noises and followed them to see who they were.

When Wen Hongxing saw what the manager said, her legs felt weak. She finally found the capital with great difficulty, and the last copper coins she had were spent. Where would she go to find her brother? His legs fell to the ground softly, and tears rolled down his face.

Lin Zhaoxia felt a little uncomfortable in her heart when she saw that she was tired and worn out, her shoes were worn out, she wanted to find her younger brother and went to Beijing alone, and now she was lying on the ground crying silently, and she gently advised: "Miss Wen, if you don't mind, You can tell us what your brother looks like. There is a gentleman in our house who is good at painting and has drawn a portrait for you. I will ask some people to help you look for him. "

Then she remembered that it was Lin Jing'an who bought her brother, "Why don't you go to the house and sit down first, and I'll help you find Lin Jing'an and ask."

Wen Hongxing looked up at Lin Zhaoxia helplessly. When she heard her talking about Lin Jing'an, hope came into her eyes again, yes, Lin Jing'an! It was Lin Jing'an who bought his younger brother, he must know where his younger brother is!

"I went to look for him, but his family said he was not in the capital!"

"Don't worry, he may have gone on business elsewhere. Why don't you settle down in the house first and then ask him when he comes back."

Wen Hongxing was hesitating. She didn't want to wait helplessly. She was afraid that if it was one day late, her brother would be sold to someone unknown. Just as he was hesitating, he heard a voice: "Sister?"

Two guys came over with a boy of six or seven years old.

"Youliang!" "Sister!"

The two siblings hugged each other and cried, "Sister, how did you find yourself here?" Seeing that the woman's brother was really in their theater club, the manager didn't want the prince and princess to be tarnished, so he stepped forward and asked why, "You're not Is it called Xiaodouzi? Why is it called Youliang?"

A few days ago, it was said that a boy was sent over from outside, but the manager didn't ask who sent it. People who buy into a theater from outside will first stay with an acquaintance to help teach them the rules for a few days. They will also stay outside to see if they have any other problems and seek medical advice before being sent to the theater. society.

Therefore, no one knows about it.

"Uncle Lin helped me change my name. He said that since I have nothing to do with my family, I can't use my previous name."

"Your sister said that we bought you by force. Please tell everyone so that we, the prince and the princess, will not be wronged."

Wen Hongxing lowered her head, not daring to look at the steward and Lin Zhaoxia.

Wen Youliang waved his hands anxiously, "No, I volunteered. My aunt said that my sister was sick and the family had no money to treat her, so I voluntarily sold it to Uncle Lin."

He raised his head again and asked his sister, "Sister, have you recovered from your illness? Has your aunt treated you?"

Wen Hongxing cried again, tears falling down her face, and she nodded while holding her brother's hand, "Okay, everything is okay, go home with sister!"

Wen Youliang hesitated.

The two siblings were in a stalemate.

Lin Zhaoxia was a little confused, "Didn't you say that you were sold by your stepmother? Why is she an aunt again?"

Yes, this woman is talking to herself and lies to others! The onlookers all stared at Wen Hongxing. Seeing everyone's misunderstanding, Wen Hongxing was so anxious that she couldn't speak.

Wen Youliang waved his hands anxiously again, "The eldest aunt is my sister's stepmother, not my stepmother! My parents are gone, so I live with my eldest uncle and aunt."

That's why the eldest aunt disliked him as a dragster, and he knew it.

The eldest aunt said that his sister was sick and the family had no money to treat her. In that family, only his sister treated him well. He wanted to treat his sister, so he agreed to sell it to Uncle Lin.

Everyone sighed for a while.

Lin Zhaoxia looked at this child who was articulate and not afraid of others, and finally understood why Lin Jingan bought him. This cleverness, wit and understanding are not inferior to Mo Xiaobei's.

The onlookers were all sighing after hearing this. Both parents are dead, and the eldest uncle can't care about himself. The eldest aunt has no feelings for him, so why don't you treat him as a freeloader?

"I just said that the King of Yue and the Princess are not that kind of people. There is no such thing as buying and selling by force."

"That's right, it's much better for this kid to come to the theater than to stay at home. I heard that the kid who played Little Shitou used to live in a shanty town on North Street. I heard that now he buys a house near the West City Gate. ”

"I've also heard that his parents always praise how outstanding their children are when meeting people, which makes people in the street want to send their children over."

Then the clever person asked Lin Zhaoxia, "Princess, do you still need young actors in your theater company? I also have a child of seven or eight years old at home."

Several people responded immediately, and Lin Zhaoxia was instantly surrounded by enthusiastic people.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the few people who had just stirred up the crowd's emotions wanted to sneak away from the crowd. Lin Zhaoxia winked, and a boy followed secretly.

The little cards recording the plot are thrown away less and less, and it feels like it's coming to an end.
