Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 194 Taking over the Liyuan Opera Troupe
There is nothing particularly attractive about Harbin at this time. It is like a small county town in the 1990s. The only thing that is interesting is that there are many old houses. They are not ancient buildings, but can only be regarded as old houses.

But it would disappear in a few decades, so Li Xiuzhu wanted to take a look, but he got tired of it after just one day of looking at it.

Early on the third day, Li Xiuzhu took Jiang Meiying on the train back.

Children, just take a look. If nothing happens, it's not worth keeping them for too long.

After another thirty-six hours of suffering, they finally returned to the capital.

The first thing they did when they returned to the capital was to catch up on their sleep. Coincidentally, it happened to be night.

However, after Jiang Meiying woke up, she was dragged to talk by Zhou Xue and Wang Fengxia.

Now that Zhou Xue has resigned as the personal manager of the garment factory, she has plenty of time to rest.

But Li Xiuzhu got into the car.

Zhou Xue told him when he came back yesterday that Tong Zhengnian was looking for him.

Tong Zhengnian asked with a surprised look on his face: "Don't you know, brother? Many people like Mr. Rabbit. In this troupe, he has a male-female look, which is no worse than that of a woman. Many people like him."

The art troupe is looking for performing talents, so they must be looking for people of the same type, and those who fit the status of Tong Zhengnian, the prince, seem to be the only ones from Liyuan.

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu glanced at the watch in his hand and said, "Why do you think it doesn't sound like a good thing, but rather like a hot thing?"

Li Xiuzhu said in a funny voice: "Why is it so urgent? I don't even have time for me to go to your palace to have tea."

"Could it be a man...?"

Now that Zhou Xue has quit as a private manager, although Chen Xueru is still a director, it is not easy to occupy so many cars.

"No, I have no choice but to find fault."

As Tong Zhengnian was speaking, the conversation suddenly changed and he continued to ask very abruptly: "Brother, can you collect something from me?"

"But public-private partnerships are mainly about supply and demand. Now it's all the workers who listen to the opera. Now the theater troupe's self-production is gone."

"You also know what's going on now."

"Brother, I will give you a good thing today, but you must keep it."

"They are all good people. Not only can they perform, but they are also delicious when put back to warm the bed. They are proficient in playing, playing and singing. They are proficient in everything and have a good foundation."

"No one else can take this thing, only you can take it."

Li Xiuzhu frowned and said, "What on earth is the art troupe targeting? Then I don't dare to take it."

But Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that Tong Zhengnian would come to pick him up in person, and he didn't even go to the palace.

"It's a person. Didn't I just say that I would send the person to the art troupe?"

what? Why is it related to the art troupe?

"After the public-private partnership, foreign movies were played, and those who sang ditties were also co-operated."

"Now that the public-private partnership of the theater troupe has ended, and we are facing a disaster year, we will no longer be able to survive, so we have no choice but to come to me."

After the New Year, in the second half of the year, I couldn’t keep this car.

Now there is only one car left in the family, and it is Chen Xueru's car.

Li Xiuzhu twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "What do you mean by being a man and a woman?"

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian said: "You can drink tea at any time. If you want to drink tea, you can just pack my tea and drink it back."

Li Xiuzhu had a flash of inspiration, a cultural troupe, a performer? people.

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian waved his hands and said, "I haven't targeted him yet, but some people have already given them away."

The last thing he wanted to do was tangle with those people.

The car belongs to Tong Zhengnian, and his family's cars are all under the name of the garment factory.

"But now the old things in our house are worthless and difficult to sell. I can only take care of my big family."

He also called back and said that he couldn't explain clearly on the phone and would talk to him in person today.

Tong Zhengnian was startled, and then said with a smile: "How about we have to do it with Brother Li? Just a little bit, it's the Liyuan, also called the troupe."

"Take care of the food, raise a salary, and this is your own back garden. How safe are you playing in it?"

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian sighed and said, "It was a really good thing before, but now, it's really a bit hot."

Tong Zhengnian smiled helplessly.

"Hey, you have no money at all?"

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that there were so many secret operations in Liyuan, and asked curiously: "It's so good, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"If you don't want it, then I can only send him to the art troupe."

"Fortunately, if I pay my salary at the beginning, I can barely survive."

"As long as I have money, I can't let go of this team. There are many wonderful people in it, both men and women."

Tong Zhengnian sighed and said, "I can't afford it anymore."

"From Liyuan?"

But it’s not a problem, there are several brand new cars in the space, even the models are new, and there are also motorcycles, which can be used if needed.

Li Xiuzhu felt numb, and his body, which had not been exposed to the cold and heat, suddenly trembled.

"I don't want this Mr. Rabbit, I'm disgusting."

"Then you agree to accept it?"

Li Xiuzhu was noncommittal.

"Let's take a look first."

"Okay, what about my things?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I'll choose two pieces when it's over. Don't think too much about it."

"The price of this thing will drop drastically in a few years. If I buy it now, I will lose money."

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian became even more numb.

"No, are you reliable?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Have you ever seen me as unreliable? And don't even think about transporting this thing out of the country. If you are discovered, your head will be lost."

Tong Zhengnian's mouth twitched, and then he became lost in thought.

This is really like a knife cutting into his aorta.

Soon we arrived at the place, which was a courtyard with three entrances.

It seemed that they had received the letter. As soon as Li Xiuzhu and others entered, they saw a bunch of people lining up to look over.

Then a middle-aged man walked over. Although he looked as bad as the men and women behind him, he was still somewhat dignified.

But when he saw the two of them, he trotted over with a smile on his face.

"My lord, this lord, you two are here, please come inside."

Li Xiuzhu took a look at these people. There were about forty or fifty people in the group. The team was quite large. Several young men and women among them were dressed particularly well. They were like phoenixes standing in the henhouse, standing out.

After just one glance, Li Xiuzhu's eyes lit up. Tong Zhengnian was right...

When they arrived at the main hall, three cups of tea were served, and Li Xiuzhu and Tong Zhengnian took the main seats.

Tong Zhengnian said directly: "Brother Ye, you also looked at it when you came in. Do people like it?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Those four brightly dressed women are indeed good."

Hearing this, Leader Sun on the side quickly said: "Two gentlemen, our troupe does not sell them separately."

Tong Zhengnian glared at the other party and said, "Don't my brother know? Do you have the right to interrupt?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said: "It is not difficult for me to raise a theater troupe, but again, I don't want Master Rabbit."

"Also, let those four women come in and wash their feet. I'll take a look first."

Hearing this, the two of them were stunned at the same time. This was the first time they had heard of foot washing.

Leader Sun did not refuse, knowing that the masters all have their own xp.

Tong Zhengnian asked with a smile: "Brother Li also likes to have his feet bound?"

When Li Xiuzhu thought of the deformed chicken feet, he immediately shook his head and said, "I like to see the feet are genuine, but I don't like those with bound feet."

"I like to look at girls' feet and legs, so I have to look at them before deciding whether to take them away."

Then he looked at Leader Sun and asked, "Are all the new branches here?"

Leader Sun heard this and said quickly: "They are all new branches."

"Okay, let's make arrangements."

Leader Sun soon came back. Although he had seen the four women who came in once, his eyes still lit up.

The four women sat calmly on the chairs nearby, put down the footbath, and began to take off their shoes and socks.

Soon four pairs of jade feet were exposed.

They are fair and fair, but don't have much flesh. They are all thin enough.

But the backbone of the feet is even more attractive.

There are no protruding foot bones like those who practice dancing, and there is no disability after wrapping the small feet.

It looks like she is about thirty-six or seven yards, and she is extremely charming.

Li Xiuzhu hesitated and looked at the two people around him and said, "You two, take a step back?"

Naturally, this step back was not really a step back. The two of them laughed and got up and went out.

As soon as he arrived outside, Tong Zhengnian said, "Master Sun, your theater troupe has been established."

"We still have to rely on the prince. Thank you for remembering our old friendship and helping us."

But Leader Sun said awkwardly: "But Caiyi..."

"Send it to my house. My brother has mysophobia. It's normal that he can't accept it."

At the same time, Li Xiuzhu in the room said calmly: "Pull your skirt down to your legs and let me take a look."

At this moment, a woman's hand holding the armrest suddenly clenched, and two other women pursed their lips and hesitated.

There was only one woman who pulled up her skirt and trouser legs with a dull expression.

Unlike ordinary people, these troupes wear pants under their skirts.

Just when Li Xiuzhu thought the remaining people were unwilling, the other three people also mentioned it.

"Stand up on tiptoes and let me take a look."

To be honest, Li Xiuzhu's attitude seemed to be about goods, and he might not even be able to bear it.

But the four women only hesitated for a moment before complying.

Li Xiuzhu took a look, stood up on tiptoes with his still undeformed calves, and nodded with satisfaction.

I have to say that this troupe owner is very capable.

"Okay, put it on."

After speaking, Li Xiuzhu paused and continued: "I don't like forcing others. You should all know that if the troupe follows me, you will end up."

"So, if you don't want to, you can just say it."

Hearing this, the four of them were startled and looked at each other. The woman who had clenched the handle before asked: "Are you willing to let us go? Then if we leave, do you still want the troupe?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head matter-of-factly and said, "I don't like opera. Naturally, it's because of you that I want the opera troupe. If it weren't for you, why would I want it?"

"This is a year of disaster. With dozens of people, I'm afraid the palace won't be able to afford your food."

After hearing this, the other party was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

"what about you."

The three women nodded one after another.

"So are we."

"The troupe is our home. We do it for everyone as well as for ourselves."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "In that case, let's introduce ourselves. No need to go to too much trouble, just say your name."

The woman who had always been calm after hearing this was the first to speak: "Liu Ruyan!"

Hiss, Emperor Ruyan? No wonder he looked indifferent.

"Ai Mengxi!"

This is hand-holding.

"Han Qimeng!"

"Han Qiyao!"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned and asked, "Are you sisters? Are you close?"

The two nodded and said, "Twins."

Okay, another achievement has been unlocked.

"No wonder they are somewhat similar."

After Li Xiuzhu asked, he went out.

As soon as he left the main hall, he said: "I support the troupe, whatever the conditions are."

Leader Sun glanced at Tong Zhengnian, who waved his hand and said: "You guys talk, I don't want to take three melons and two dates."

Hearing this, Leader Sun finally said: "Since the prince doesn't want the troupe's money, then I don't want it either."

"It's mainly food. Eight hundred kilograms of food a month is the minimum."

"Throw away the colorful clothes, there are a total of forty-six people in the yard, including thirty-six adults and ten children."

"If you want to continue training, you must have no less of these eight hundred kilograms of food."

"In addition, I hope you can get thirty kilograms of pork and three hundred kilograms of vegetables every month."

"As for wages, do you think it's okay if you give me five hundred a month?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this. The price was either too expensive or too cheap.

A person's salary is less than fifteen yuan, which is about ten yuan.

In other words, meat and grain are rare items.

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "I'll give you one thousand a month, fifty catties of pork, and five hundred catties of vegetables."

"But, since we have bought out your troupe, we will sign a labor contract."

"It can be regarded as a contract to sell oneself."

"Your salary will be increased every five years according to the market conditions at that time, and you will not suffer a big loss."

"The conditions are this. You can discuss it with the people in the troupe."

"Give you an hour."

Li Xiuzhu glanced at his watch and said to Tong Zhengnian, "Come in and sit down again?"

Tong Zhengnian said with a smile: "Brother, when there is a happy occasion, you don't have to sit around."

After the two entered the room, Li Xiuzhu said, "Ruyan, bring me two cups of tea."

Liu Ruyan bowed after hearing the sound and went out.

At this time, Tong Zhengnian hesitated and said, "Brother, I heard that you have a transportation channel? Is there any way you can help me transport the things at home?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled, then smiled and said, "Can't you survive?"

Tong Zhengnian patted his leg and said with a sad expression: "According to what you said, everything in my house will be worthless in the future, which makes me sad."

"So, it's time to go."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said: "This is only temporary. In a few decades, we will still have to look at China in the future."

"If you insist on leaving, I can help you."

"But I want 50% of your family property. As you know, this is a matter of losing your head. Most people don't have 70% of your wealth and I won't help them."

Tong Zhengnian didn't expect that Li Xiuzhu was so cunning, and he said it was 50%, but Li Xiuzhu was right, this was a fool's errand.

The most important thing is that Li Xiuzhu has mature channels. Others may ask for less money, but if he is caught, both people and money will be lost.

Tong Zhengnian only thought about it for half a minute and nodded fiercely.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go back tomorrow to sort out the family property."

Li Xiuzhu said speechlessly: "You haven't said where to send it to you yet."

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian suddenly realized and asked quickly: "Can it be delivered to Hong Kong Island? Bay Island is also fine."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said: "Hong Kong Island or Bay Island are both fine, but I still recommend you choose Hong Kong Island."

"In the next 30 to 40 years, Hong Kong Island will be better than Bay Island."

"Of course, it's up to you to choose where to go."

"Besides, don't bring too few people with you. There are many social elements there. It's safe and secure to bring more acquaintances."

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian nodded.

At this time, Liu Ruyan walked in with tea and Leader Sun.

Liu Ruyan began to serve tea without saying a word, and Team Leader Sun said: "Boss, we have agreed to sign the contract as the master said."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xiuzhu."

He took a sip of tea and continued: "Go and sign the contract. The things will be delivered tomorrow."

Li Xiuzhu dug into his pocket and took out a stack of Big Black Ten.

"This thousand is this month's salary. It will be advanced to you in advance."

As he said this, he dug out again, took out dozens of tickets, and handed them to Liu Ruyan with one hand.

"These industrial coupons and cloth coupons are benefits for the four of you. Arrange them however you want."

Liu Ruyan's indifferent face showed a bit of curiosity and agility in her eyes. She looked at Li Xiuzhu and reached out to take it.

"Ruyan thanks Boss Li."

"They call me Boss Li, so please stop calling me husband."

Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and said meekly.

"Thank you, husband."

Li Xiuzhu smiled. Liu Ruyan's temperament was a little dull. He didn't fight or grab. He was a little ashamed of the name Liu Ruyan, but he was a bit similar to Zeng Li.

Li Xiuzhu didn't stay with Tong Zhengnian for long, and rushed to the palace after leaving the door.

"Tell me, what do you want to sell?"

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian said: "Of course, the more, the better, but I think you don't like most of them."

"Come on, go take a look around my treasure house and take whatever you like."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, but he still followed.

Tong Zhengnian's treasure pavilion is in the secret door of his main house. It has a clever mechanism and is hidden in a shelf, so it is really hard to find.

As soon as he entered, Tong Zhengnian lit a match and threw it aside. The next second, a line of fire quickly ran around the room, and then bright light illuminated the room.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he saw it.

"Good guy, how can you compete with the mechanisms in tomb robbing novels?"

"Why did this oil lamp go out?"

Tong Zhengnian didn't expect that Li Xiuzhu didn't care about his treasure at all. Instead, he turned up the oil lamp out of curiosity. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Can you respect my treasures?"

"Also, the storybook of the tomb robbing novel? Do you have this storybook?"

Li Xiuzhu was speechless for a moment, forgetting that Ba Chang and his third uncle were probably not born yet.

"Well, yes, I forgot which storybook it was."

"What happened to your oil lamp?"

Tong Zhengnian said: "This one is burned with dragon oil. I don't know exactly what it is. Anyway, it was obtained when it was built."

"It's been burning for decades and it hasn't dried out. I don't know where my father's generation got it."

"As for the principle of fire extinguishing, it is also very simple. After the fire is ignited, a layer of shielding material will float up due to the increase in temperature, blocking the air vent."

"When the fire is out, the temperature drops, the shelter comes down, and the vents will be ventilated again."

"It's roughly that simple. Fortunately, I asked my father at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to answer your question."

Tong Zhengnian continued: "Stop studying that oil lamp, come and take a look at my treasure."

Li Xiuzhu then followed Tong Zhengnian's gaze and looked over.

The display in the house is a series of racks, and wooden boxes are placed on the racks. Everything is obviously in the boxes.

"What a good thing, made so detailed?"

Tong Zhengnian smiled and said: "These are all good things, so of course they have to be put away."

Li Xiuzhu picked up a box and immediately smelled a strange fragrance.

"Good guy, golden nanmu?"

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian said proudly: "That's necessary. If a mouse, termite or something comes in and takes a bite, I will cry to death."

"In order to get more boxes, I bought a whole golden nanmu tree. Now I still have thirty or forty empty boxes. Do you want me to give you a few?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "You just bought one tree, I have bought several."

When the public-private partnership first started, top-quality timber was priced at a bargain price, so he bought a lot.

"Okay, what should I tell you, a rich man?"

As he spoke, Tong Zhengnian stepped forward and opened the lids of each box, revealing the contents.

It was obvious that he really wanted to sell something.

Li Xiuzhu naturally doesn't just look at the appearance when choosing something. If he only looks at the appearance, it also depends on whose quality it is.

The next second, his eyes gained a lot of color.

Purple, bits of gold and some white.

However, I have to say that the quality of Tong Zhengnian's collection is still high, and there are actually fewer white items than purple ones.

Li Xiuzhu walked to a few golden items and took them out.

There are four pieces in total, a jade ring, a painting, a jade seal and a chamber pot.

"Is this a jade seal?"

Tong Zhengnian nodded and said, "It belongs to Puyi. I picked it up when they were taken out of the capital."

Good guy, you really know how to pick it up.

"What about this?"

"Emperor Qianlong's chamber pot. It is said that my grandfather's grandfather was highly regarded by Emperor Qianlong. At a palace banquet, the two of them went out together. Emperor Qianlong asked my grandfather's grandfather to come with him. Afterwards, he gave me the chamber pot that they used. Grandpa’s grandpa.”

The scene just now flashed through Li Xiuzhu's mind quickly, as if he had never encountered such a strange thing, but was carrying a wooden box.

Li Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and took a slight step to the side.

It doesn't mean anything, it's just a response.

It turns out that either the golden light is a good thing, or it could just be a chamber pot.

"Then what is this?"

Tong Zhengnian opened it and took a look. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Brother, you have good taste. The ones you choose are all from the royal family."

Li Xiuzhu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Which emperor's calligraphy?"

Hearing this, Tong Zhengnian shook his head and said, "Although this thing comes from the palace, it really is not the emperor's calligraphy treasure."

Li Xiuzhu was a little numb, but Tong Zhengnian didn't show off and continued: "This is a hundred-year-old picture written by hundreds of officials for Lafayette."

"This was written by a hundred senior officials and collected by Lafayette. This is absolutely a good thing."

Gan, it turns out it was given to the old witch, which is bad luck.
