Chapter 18 The Fairy Daughter
Chapter 18 Fairy Daughter
"Boss Li, what are you—?"
Liu Tielan couldn't believe her eyes. Li Jinshui, Boss Li, who was all-powerful back then and came to life as Cao Cao, was now in a wheelchair, with a white beard, white eyebrows, and white hair, turning into a shriveled old man.
It's that face, except that the facial features are still somewhat similar to those of the past, but it no longer has the temperament and expression it had when acting.
"Who are you--?"
Li Jinshui shifted his gaze from Liu Xi to Liu Tielan, unable to recognize the person for a while.
It has been several years since anyone called him Boss Li. At first glance, it even sounds a bit strange.
Liu Tielan hurriedly stepped forward and replied against the crack of the door: "I am Xiaolanzi, Shen Ronghua's apprentice. Back then you saw my play and praised me as a good seedling."
"Oh, I know Shen Ronghua. He and I sang together in opera troupes and played Mrs. Mi in "Chang Ban Slope". Are you the one--"
"Remember?" Liu Tielan guided her hard.
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and said hey, "I didn't think of it."
Liu Xi and Shen Liangjun looked at each other and thought, "Master is really funny. He doesn't even know the family well, yet he dares to visit him and ask him to give Liu Xi a doll to teach him opera?"
How big is your face?
Liu Tielan was quite embarrassed at the moment, and he was even more embarrassed to look back at the two apprentices behind him. Just as he was about to continue explaining his identity and recalling his memories to the old man, the old man suddenly raised a finger and pointed at him. While pulling.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the old man pulled at him several more times.
Finally, seeing that Liu Tielan really didn't understand what he meant, the old man became anxious.
"Oh, please go to the side, don't delay me from seeing the fairy daughter!"
"Fairy daughter?"
Liu Tielan was puzzled. After thinking for a long time, she turned back to look at Liu Xi and realized that the old man was talking about her.
At this moment, Liu Xi and Shen Liangjun were also pounding in their hearts, especially Shen Liangjun, who pulled Liu Xi closer, and the three masters and disciples began to murmur.
"Master, take a closer look. Is this really Boss Li? Why does it look so unreliable to me?"
Liu Xi was also a little frightened. She always felt that something was wrong with the way the old man looked at her. Although it was not considered vulgar, how could a serious person speak so frivolously when meeting someone for the first time?
Liu Tielan then turned back to look at the old man and saw that he was moving the wheel around the courtyard with both hands. His nose and eyes were clearly the same as those of Li Jinshui back then.
So he turned his head again, crouched down and whispered to his two disciples: "It's true that he was wrong, but my heart is pounding. Besides, with his legs like this, he can't teach Xi Yatou any tricks."
"Who wants to learn opera from me?"
Hearing the old man's voice again, Liu Xi and Shen Liangjun looked up together and saw that the door had been completely opened at some point.
The old man's head poked out from directly behind Liu Tielan and looked at Liu Xi with warm eyes: "Is she a fairy daughter?"
Liu Xi's face turned red all the way to her ears. If this old man hadn't been older than her grandfather and was in a wheelchair, she would have shouted "hooligan".
Liu Tielan was also frightened by the sudden curiosity of the other party, and jumped to the side like a cat, just in time to get out of Li Jinshui's field of vision, and asked him to take a good look at Liu Xi.
"Well, my appearance is really good, but I don't know what my voice is like."
Liu Xi looked at the other party with wide eyes. When she realized that the old man was studying her, she unexpectedly bowed to Li Jinshui as an elder.
"Hello Grandpa Li."
"Well, this little noise is for me to act in an opera. The female lead is gone."
Old Man Li was in a good mood and spoke cheerfully, but he soon became confused and said, "Why did you come to my door? I am a pretty girl."
This is it, he admitted it himself!
Liu Tielan knew that she was looking for the right place, so she felt relieved, walked forward and said, "That's right, this girl wants to learn the colorful face opera."
“How fresh?”
Old Man Li was a little unhappy and glared at Liu Tielan while blowing his beard.
"With such good conditions, how good is it to be a leading actress? To be a pretty girl? To exploit your weaknesses and avoid your strengths? How many detours do you have to go through to become famous? Who brought you up as your apprentice? Do you understand opera? Do you understand the hard work of an artist?
You are such a waste of natural resources and delaying good seedlings. Tell me the name of your master and let me see what kind of virtue he has..."
The old man cursed and cursed for a while, which made Liu Tielan sweat all over his head. Even Shen Liangjun and Liu Xi couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
Of all the things they had gone through, Liu Tielan had experienced a lot back then, and it might have been even worse.
Otherwise, why would the old man's training be so harsh and Liu Tielan not dare to say a word?
Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer and told his master's name again: "Shen Ronghua, my master is Shen Ronghua!"
The old man finally calmed down and said in retrospect: "Shen Ronghua? I know Shen Ronghua. He used to be my opera troupe and went to Mrs. Mi. Did he have an apprentice like you?"
Okay, I went around for a long time and came back again.
Liu Xi and Shen Liangjun looked at each other and shook their heads.
Boss Li is probably a bit old and confused.
Liu Xi felt really miserable when she looked at Liu Tielan. Besides, it was her own idea to learn the colorful face opera, and it had nothing to do with Liu Tielan.
So she puffed up her little breasts, and with the courage she didn't know where she came from, she rushed forward and stood in front of Liu Tielan.
Strangely enough, as soon as she stepped forward, Old Man Li's anger immediately dropped, his expression softened, he stopped swearing, and even smiled.
Liu Xi was a little afraid of him at first, but now she had the courage to speak.
"Grandpa Li must be unwilling to accept me, so we'd better not bother you. But even if I don't learn from you, I still want to sing Hua Lian Opera. I have never been taught opera since I was a child, so I am self-taught.
.”
As she said this, she pulled Liu Tielan away to rescue him.
"return!"
Li Jinshui immediately spoke and smiled at Liu Xi: "Who said we won't teach anymore? You have to ask clearly before you can teach."
Liu Xi turned around, looked at Li Jinshui in shock, and said, "But what I want to learn is Hua Mian Opera, not Hua Dan Opera."
"I know, if you want to learn Huadan opera, I don't know how to teach you." Li Jinshui smiled.
Liu Xi asked again: "Don't you mind that I'm a girl and I'm going out of my way to learn opera? Even if I succeed in learning, I won't be able to stand on stage or sing in an opera?"
Her words made Liu Tielan's face feel as hot as a soldering iron, and she silently took another step back.
But Li Jinshui laughed and said: "But you are a fairy daughter. If a fairy daughter wants to sing an opera, can we ordinary people stop her?"
Shen Liangjun already felt that Old Man Li was unreliable. After hearing this, he felt even more disgusted. He immediately came to Liu Xi and reminded her in a low voice: "Xi girl, you must think clearly. The old man may be holding something bad in his heart. You
Learn opera from him, or you will suffer big losses!"
