"Then I'll be embarrassed!"

Zhou Xiaobai handed the racket to Luo Yun, stood up, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to see if Brother Wu needs to refill his tea."

"What a terrible excuse!"

Luo Yun curled his lips, sat where Zhou Xiaobai had just been, and asked Li, "Brother Wu is busy today, isn't he?"

"Well, I'm quite busy——"

Yu Li wiped the sweat on her neck with a towel and said casually: "I have to go home soon."

"Hey! You are so bad!"

Luo Yun reached out and pushed her gently, and said angrily: "There's no need to go back with such revenge, it's too cruel!"

"What, what are you talking about?"

With a smile on her lips, Yu Li looked at Luo Yun and asked, "Why can't I understand what you are saying?"

Yes! Ginger is still spicy!

Luo Yun knew that Yu Li had long known that Zhou Xiaobai knew but pretended not to know, but she really didn't know.

The two of them were teasing each other, but she was the only one who was having fun!

------------------

Xue Pinggui: "Well, Su Long and Wei Hu are matchmakers, and Prime Minister Wang is my officiant!"

Wang Baochuan: "I don't know about others. Su Long and Wei Hu are relatives. You and I will enter the prime minister's house together. We will make it clear when the three of us face each other."

Xue Pinggui: "The three of them have a grudge against me. He will not admit it even if he bites the bullet."

…

"very nice--"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao enviously and clapped his hands.

It's a pity that she and Li Xuewu were the only audience members in the room, so the applause was not very warm.

In fact, she was the only one applauding.

Jin Jiaojiao, who sang Xue Pinggui, shook her beard, teased Zhou Xiaobai and asked, "Where is the best place?"

"Well - that's good -"

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were very clear and he praised: "Although I don't understand it, I really think it sounds good, it sounds really good!"

"Thank you, Miss Bai——"

Tong Huimei, who was wearing women's clothing to sing the role of Wang Baochuan, put her hand on Jin Jiaojiao's arm to signal her not to be naughty.

Now he came over with a smile and said hello: "We are still learning, so please forgive me if we don't sing well."

"Ah! You can't sing this well?"

Zhou Xiaobai said in surprise: "How good is it that you can sing well?"

"Hahaha--"

Jin Jiaojiao couldn't help covering her beard with her sleeves and laughed wantonly.

She is now pretending to be an old student, so it doesn't matter if she smiles, it just sounds too funny.

"It's really good, I can hear it."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and asked, "What kind of play is this?"

"It's "Wujia Slope", the story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan."

Tong Huimei hadn't seen him for a long time, and she seemed a little anxious now.

Li Xuewu just finished working in the management office and came to their side.

Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao were both very surprised. They happened to be practicing, so they used their outfits to perform for him.

"It's a short paragraph," she felt that her eagerness surprised Zhou Xiaobai who came in the middle, so she restrained herself a lot now.

"It tells the story of General Xue Pinggui returning home and meeting Wang Baochuan in front of Wujiapo. The couple had been separated for eighteen years, and the king no longer recognized Xue."

"Xue pretends to ask for directions to test his heart. Wang escapes back to the kiln. Xue rushes to tell the story of his name, his experience after separation, and the couple's recognition of each other."

She explained in detail, as if she wanted to express something, but her head lowered as she spoke, a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xiaobai was just curious about their costumes and outfits. This was her first time observing Peking Opera actors so closely.

She had heard before that there were opera students in the garden here, but she had never had much contact with them.

Even if they met in the restaurant, Jin Jiaojiao and Tong Huimei rarely talked to other people, so it was not until today that the two sides talked.

Jin Jiaojiao was very thoughtful and curious about Zhou Xiaobai, who lived in the same compound.

They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Like a little girl, Zhou Xiaobai only said a few words to her and could feel the simplicity of her.

So she felt that the other person was cute more and more, and took the initiative to make friends with him.

Tong Huimei is more mature and only has Li Xuewu in her eyes.

She didn't care about Li Xuewu's character of asking questions when he didn't understand anything, and his blunt statement that he didn't understand Peking Opera.

Even if the performance just now was watched and listened to by him who didn't understand, she felt satisfied.

He was so honest and frank, which she liked and admired.

So Li Xuewu praised them for singing well, and she was really happy because it must be the truth.

"Are you still learning opera from your husband?"

Li Xuewu looked at Tong Huimei and reached out to touch her little hand, not paying attention to Zhou Xiaobai's gaze.

But Tong Huimei felt a little embarrassed. She showed the cocoon in her hand and said, "Yes, I sharpened it while practicing sword."

Seeing that he was looking at this, Zhou Xiaobai stopped paying attention and started chirping with Jin Jiaojiao.

"I'm asking you, sir, if you can perform on stage now."

Li Xuewu took good care of their situation and did not make arbitrary decisions.

Seeing that Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao were looking over, they smiled and explained: "The Red Star Factory has been expanding recently and has acquired five theaters in the city for literary and artistic promotion work."

"If you can perform on stage, I will arrange for you to perform with the group on secondment."

He patted her hand gently and said, "You need to gain stage experience, right?"

"elder sister--"

Jin Jiaojiao's eyes were full of excitement and desire. She really wanted to perform on stage. This was her goal in learning opera.

"It won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

Tong Huimei asked cautiously: "After all, we are still young, it can be a few years later."

"It doesn't matter, just sing the prescribed repertoire."

Li Xuewu could see Jin Jiaojiao's anxiety and Tong Huimei's caution.

He comforted the two of them and said: "It's just a secondment, the organizational relationship is still here, I will help you make arrangements."

"Now you have to confirm with your husband whether it's time to go on stage and gain experience."

"I don't understand your business."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Don't do bad things with good intentions, as it will affect your artistic life."

"Thank you, thank you -"

Tong Huimei stood up, took Jin Jiaojiao's hand, and blessed Li Xuewu very formally.

Li Xuewu nodded politely and said, "Call me if you have any news and I will make arrangements."

"When the time comes, I will form a small team for you masters and apprentices to serve as our club's literary and artistic propaganda team."

These words were simply told to Tong Huimei and Tong Huimei. They don't need to worry about the specific process and how to complete the organizational structure.

There is only one purpose in forming this team, which is to facilitate the two of them to sing and accumulate stage experience.

If you can get the guidance of so many old gentlemen, as long as you persist under the protection of the Red Star Factory for a few years, you will definitely become a young gentleman and a little leader in the troupe.

After all, in this era, there are not many that can guarantee opportunities for stage performances, food and clothing, and teaching resources.

It’s very interesting to think about a folk music master in his twenties and a folk music master in his thirties.

When they grow old, they can proudly say that I have been a leader for thirty or forty years.

------------------

Thinking of Zhou Xiaobai's stunned expression and annoyed words when he left, Li Xuewu wanted to laugh a little.

When she sneaked in to listen to the play with her, she knew that she had been tricked by Yu Li.

And when he finished talking to Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao, walked out and went directly to the parking lot, Zhou Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded.
