Wizard, I have a different world
Chapter 12: Concert Group Meeting
Jenny was angry and anxious.
She finally got her wish and was admitted to the Barrow Concert Company, gaining the qualifications to study and sing there.
The long hard work paid off.
I never thought that my mother would regret the rewards she promised.
Tonight's banquet is very important to her.
If he could get the seniors of the singing group to notice him, he would have a chance to perform on stage in advance.
"Only three pounds!"
Jenny sniffed and her eyes turned red:
"At worst, I'll pay you back when I earn the money. Do you want me to make a fool of myself at the first banquet?"
"Everyone else is dressed up beautifully, but your daughter is the only one who is laughed at by others for wearing ragged clothes?"
"This is three pounds, not a small amount." Mary also looked embarrassed:
"And joining the concert is just the beginning. There are still many places to spend money. Newcomers cannot make money in a short time."
"You are just an apprentice now, so there is no need to dress up so beautifully. A similar dress will do."
If it was one pound, or even two pounds, she might grit her teeth and agree.
But that’s three pounds!
How long will it take for you to earn three pounds?
If this money is used at home, how long can it support the expenses?
It was not that Mary was unwilling to buy a dress for her daughter, but the price of three pounds was indeed beyond her expectations.
I knew that things on this street were not cheap, but I never expected that a random dress would be so expensive.
Don't agree,
The daughter looked aggrieved.
promise,
The family will face financial difficulties.
For a moment, Mary was also struggling.
"What a coincidence."
At this time, a familiar voice sounded:
"Landlady, Jenny, you also come here to shop."
"Karl!"
"Baron Carl!"
The mother and daughter turned around when they heard the sound, and saw Karl in the inspector's uniform walking out.
"yes."
Mary smiled forcefully:
“I’ll bring Jenny over to have a look.”
"I heard that Jenny was admitted to the Barrow Music Group?" Karl said with a smile:
"Congratulations!"
"The Barrow Singers are qualified to sing gospel carols, and if Jenny can perform on stage, she will definitely be a guest of honor at many banquets."
Whether one can sing "gospel carols" or not is an important distinction in judging the status of a singing group.
Can't sing.
They can only hang out among civilians.
Many of the women in that kind of singing group even became prostitutes, and their reputations became worse and worse.
The opposite is different.
Singing gospel carols requires the singer to maintain physical purity, otherwise it will be judged as disrespectful to the gods.
Only this kind of singing group can reach the ‘hall of elegance’.
"Thanks."
Jenny lowered her head and covered her red eyes:
"I have just joined the singing group. I have to study for a long time. I don't know when I will be able to go on stage."
"Your voice is very distinctive. I believe you will be able to perform formally soon." Karl said politely, and then looked at the dress displayed aside:
"This dress is nice."
"yes."
Jenny's eyes lit up and she said hurriedly:
"I feel the same way. Mom is planning to buy it and give it to me."
As he said that, he pulled Mary's sleeve.
you……
Mary's eyes were panicked. She really didn't want to buy it, but it was not easy to refuse her daughter directly at this time.
Jenny also saw this, so she took the opportunity to use words to 'coerce' her.
"Yeah?"
Karl smiled and said:
"Jenny has been admitted to the singing group. I haven't given you a gift yet. Why don't you let me buy it for you."
"ah!"
Jenny's face was filled with ecstasy, and she covered her mouth with her hands:
"real?"
"Of course." Karl nodded and waved to the clerk:
"How much?"
"Three pounds!"
"good."
"No." Seeing Karl taking out his wallet to pay the bill, Mary finally came to her senses and said hurriedly:
"I'll just buy it."
"It doesn't matter." Karl shook his head:
"I'm worried about what gift to give."
"Jenny, you go try on the clothes first. If there's anything inappropriate, ask them to change it. They'll do it quickly."
"OK."
Jenny threw off Mary's arm, took the dress with a smile and walked to the changing room.
"I'm so sorry."
Seeing that things have come to this, Mary can only apologize:
"It cost you money."
Karl waved his hand.
He just heard the quarrel between mother and daughter, and since he really planned to give a gift, he simply paid for it.
Three pounds was nothing to him. It was already a large sum for an ordinary family. Even though a carriage ride cost three or five pence, in fact, a carriage ride was no longer a consumption item for ordinary families.
Mary counted every penny carefully.
"Baron Carl."
Walking out of the dressing room in a gorgeous dress, Jenny made an invitation:
"Tonight the seniors at the concert held a banquet for the newcomers. Can you attend with me?"
"May I?"
"sure!"
Jenny looked enthusiastic:
"It is our honor to have a nobleman attend the banquet."
Mary on the side opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. She originally said that she would accompany her to the banquet.
"That's good."
Karl nodded:
"I will definitely go then."

"Your uncle's neighbor has a carriage. He will take you to the party. Remember to be polite."
in the room.
Mary helped her daughter organize her clothes:
"Karl won't go until after work, I don't know when he will arrive. If he doesn't go, don't blame him. After all, the inspector has a lot of things to do."
"I know."
Jenny shook her sleeves and said impatiently:
"I'm leaving."
"Take the money." Mary stuffed the prepared wallet into her hand:
"You're grown up now, you can't go out alone without money."
"Thank you, Mom."
Jenny smiled and kissed Mary on the cheek, waved, and walked out with her skirt in her hands.
This was her first time to officially attend a banquet after she became an adult, and it was also a banquet for the singing group. She was already a little impatient.
Arrived at the banquet venue.
There were already many people waiting.
"Noscan!"
"Prey!"
"Jenny!"
"..."
Several newcomers greeted each other, praised each other's dress, and waited for the arrival of the seniors.
Not long after.
"Senior Percy!"
"Senior Oberon!"
"..."
Several seniors from the singing group arrived one after another.
Compared to the green newcomers, these people are not much older than them, but their behavior is more mature.
Banquet.
It is very rare for newcomers.
It is common for them.
However, only the relatively marginal members of the team came. The real core members did not participate in this banquet. I think it is because the status of the newcomers is not high enough.
"Jenny, the clothes are nice." Percy, the backup lead singer of the team, came to Jenny and asked with a smile:
"It shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"It's okay." Jenny was a little reserved:
"Three gold pounds."
"Oh!" Percy raised his eyebrows:
"I remember that your family's conditions are not very good."
"Yes." Jenny blushed:
"A friend gave it to me."
"Friend?" Percy frowned subconsciously:
"Male friend?"
"..." Jenny lowered her head:
"Yes."
"He is willing to spend so much money on you, it seems that he has a heart." Percy sighed and continued:
"But I remind you that if you want to be the lead singer of the team in the future, you can't touch the affairs of men and women."
"Without a pure body, many programs can't be performed."
...
Jenny's face changed slightly.
"Who is Percy!"
Just as the two were talking, a loud voice sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a team of men in police uniforms walking over, aggressively.
"That's me."
Percy raised his hand hurriedly:
"What's up?"
"Yes." The leading police officer nodded:
"There's a case that may be related to you, come back with us to investigate."
"Ah!"
Percy's face changed drastically:
"At this time? Can I not go?"
"What do you think?" The police officer frowned and said impatiently:
"I know you are members of the Barrow Singing Group. If there is no problem, you can go back tomorrow."
"But..." Percy turned back, his eyes full of help.
But everyone else had different expressions, even a few good members, their eyes were evasive at this time, obviously not intending to help and say a few words.
"What's wrong?"
Carl just got off the car and saw this scene:
"Ham, long time no see."
"Baron Karl."
The police officer named Ham had a stern face and a dignified manner. When he saw Karl, he immediately smiled:
"What a coincidence, you are also attending the banquet?"
"Yes."
Carl nodded:
"What are you doing?"
"This..." Ham hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"It's just a little thing."
