Rebirth of the Republic of China

Chapter 17 Redemption Money

Shao Xintang asked the owner of the tea house for a broken bamboo basket to buy vegetables, and threw the small bag of money into it.I bought another five or six white pears from the pear seller at the entrance of the tea house and spread them on top.

The white pears are big and translucent, as if just looking at them can make people feel refreshed.After taking a few extra money to the pear seller, Shao Xintang wanted to go back and put the pear in the well water to freeze it for a while, and Xiao Jian'an's mouth was watering if he didn't eat it!

Shao Xintang's physique is cool, and he is afraid of the cold but not the heat.But in such midsummer weather, the sun baked the ground into dust, and the ground turned upside down. Shao Xintang also had to roll up her wide sleeves to her shoulders, revealing two slender, white and tender arms.It looked like someone's newly-married young master came out to buy things.The outstanding appearance has attracted people's attention.

Carrying a basket covered with big white pears into the "Dahe Trading Company", Shao Xintang took out the ticket that Bai Dayang and Yu Zhannan gave him, but found that he couldn't change a note, Shao Xintang was very disappointed.I found a young guy in the business bank to learn about the current currency exchange, the situation, etc., and it was quite rewarding, and then I changed all the money into bills and kept it close to my body, and the rest was twenty oceans for emergencies .

After returning to the red ink, Shao Xintang asked Jian'an, who was tanned like a little Indian, to take white pears to the town, and hid in the shade of a tree to check the homework left for the children.

The teachers in Hongmoli all teach some singing skills and miscellaneous skills, and there is no one who can serve as an enlightenment education.Shao Xintang thinks that children must take cultural courses, even if they don't learn human geography, they must understand things such as worldly wisdom, morality, benevolence and righteousness.And there are so many children in Hongmo who are the size of Nie Jianan, who learn from their masters from morning to night, and even the two sons of the class leader Shen Caitian, because the country has abolished the "imperial examination system", people don't have "learning and excellence will lead to officials" In addition to the country's turmoil, Japanese devils are everywhere. Even children from wealthy families generally learn some cooking skills or go into business.

Although he has some money now, Shao Xintang knows that he must not send Nie Jian'an to school now, it is too eye-catching and different.He was busy planning to escape again, so why not let him go to study after finding a safe place to settle down later.

But enlightenment education cannot be left behind. Nie Jianan is already 11 years old, and he is almost in junior high school in modern times, but he doesn't even know a word.So about a dozen days ago, he asked the little guy from Hongmo to help him buy a copy of "Three Character Classics" and a copy of "The Analects of Confucius". While teaching the children to write, he explained some principles to him.Nie Jian'an is also an extremely obedient child, with a flexible mind and hard work, the two of them have achieved quite a lot in the past ten days or so.

Shao Xintang was enjoying the coolness under the old banyan tree, when he saw the class leader Shen Caitian came here with his back hunched and swaying, holding a cattail fan in one hand and his smoking gun that he had never let go of in the other.

Shao Xintang stood up from the wicker chair to meet him, but he pulled his arm and sat down again, only to hear Shen Caitian say very politely: "Don't dare, Mr. Shao, sit down."

Shao Xintang smiled and was not polite to him, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, and said, "Why is Leader Shen so idle today?"

"Where can I be free? I'm watching in Hongmo all day long. The new little opera singers are ignorant. They don't even talk about their bad performances. They always find trouble for me. They're all ignorant brats..." Shen Caitian He said with a frown, and felt that it was inappropriate to say this in front of Shao Xintang, so he quickly explained: "Look, I don't want to urge you to work, but the people below are too ignorant. Mr. Shao, you are not in good health , rest as long as you want."

Shao Xintang also knows his difficulties. This troupe is not only difficult to manage internally, but also has a very strong external competition. In Shenyang North Street alone, there are three troupes of the same size as Hongmo. Squeezed their brains to win customers.Although Shen Caitian was afraid of Yu Zhannan and didn't dare to force Shao Xintang to take the stage, but now he himself was in trouble.

It was also Shao Xintang who decided to give him a step up: "Mr. Shao, Mr. Shao, you are so strange. Leader Shen takes care of me like this, so don't let me be an outsider, just order him around."

"Then, I call you Brother Shao?"

When Shen Caitian heard that he had a connection, he didn't think much of Shao Xintang in his heart, thinking that he just had a good appearance and was favored by nobles.Hearing what he said at this time, I felt that he was very sensible, so I agreed generously.

"Okay, that sounds good to my ears. If Leader Shen doesn't mind, I'll call you Big Brother Shen too."

Shen Caitian practiced it himself and praised it.

Shao Xintang gave birth to an excellent skin, and everyone in the world is a visual animal, who likes beauty and dislikes ugliness. Now he is smiling and trying to please.It's so easy to be loved.Then he said something that made Shen Caitian's heart elated.

"Brother Shen is in such a difficult situation. Of course, younger brother can't just sit idly by and let people prepare for me to sing on stage tonight."

"This?" Shen Caitian was happy but he was a little uncertain about Zhan Nan's thoughts. He knew that some nobles didn't like the little things he raised in public, and he was afraid that he would accidentally offend the King of Hades, and he wouldn't know how he died.

"It's okay, as long as the commander's office sends someone, I won't delay. It's fine to sing a play or two on weekdays."

Shen Caitian responded with all his mouth, and he was very happy.At this moment, Shao Xintang changed the subject and showed embarrassment, Shen Caitian naturally eagerly asked him what was the matter.

"Little brother, there is one more thing I want to find out..."

"Brother Shao can ask whatever he wants, as long as brother knows, there is no reason not to tell."

"What I want to ask is, how much money do I need for my ransom now?"

After Shao Xintang finished speaking, she looked at Shen Caitian's face, and sure enough, her excited face just now turned cold, and she hesitated to speak after a long silence.

"Brother, I can't entertain you, brother Zhou Shao, just say, I will..."

"That's not it..." Shao Xintang didn't want to talk to him forever, and said patiently, "Brother Shen has already taken care of me. It's just that I can't sing for the rest of my life. One day, so I thought about making plans first."

If he really waited until the day when he was too old and depraved to be on stage, Shen Caitian would naturally not keep him, maybe he would be kicked out as well.But the problem is that Shao Xintang's time is really good now, and he spent a lot of money to buy it, so how can he let him go.He even discussed with his fourth aunt that Zhan Nan got tired of playing with him and sold him to another boss... Shao Xintang is really a cash cow for him.

Shao Xintang could also imagine the nasty thoughts in his heart, his face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the leader Shen not going to let you go no matter how much money you have? Or do you want Commander Yu to come and talk to you in person?"

Shen Caitian's face instantly turned pale with fright!
