Inside the backstage of Yiyuan.

As soon as Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, and Yao Yuying took off their makeup, the owner of the theater troupe walked in, followed by a man in a suit.

The theater owner placed the two gold bars that Duan Zhigui had rewarded in front of Xiao Lanying.

"Boss, what are you doing?"Xiao Lanying said doubtfully; because usually the entire troupe has to share the money and gifts given by guests.

Although the actor is the protagonist, it is impossible for all the reward money to be given to you.

The troupe members keep their share. Salary is called"drama money".

Ten vacancies are combined into one share, usually three vacancies are used as the starting point. Those with less than three vacancies receive a fixed daily salary, commonly known as"dead money".

How much drama share money you enjoy is determined by the class leader. Your profession, skills and reputation are determined by your negotiation. There is no need for"democratic review" or signing of a contract. It is completely a"gentleman's agreement". The class leader can fire you at any time, and you can also resign to the class leader at any time. Both parties have full freedom.

The economic system of the theater troupe is based on the daily income from the theater, which is deducted first from the fixed percentage of the troupe leader's investment in building a theater cage, costumes, the total amount of"dead money" personnel, the day's food expenses and the payable theater fee. Donate (belonging to taxes, miscellaneous taxes and donations began to be collected at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China), and the remaining part is calculated based on the total number of shares in the whole class.

How much is it worth? It would be good to divide the bounty into three parts.

The troupe owner gave so much all at once, which made her a little confused. It was completely against the rules, and she had a bad feeling in her heart for no reason.

"Take it, this is what Duan Dudu has given to you, so just take it with confidence," the troupe owner said with a somewhat unnatural expression;

"This is against the rules, I can't take it." Xiao Lanying shook her head firmly; once she split such a large sum of money, other people would definitely have objections.

By then, it would make people no longer human inside and outside.

Besides, Xiao Lan Ying had already noticed something was wrong, but she didn't know the identity of the man in the suit.

The man in the suit said calmly:"Take it as long as you are told. Quickly take off your makeup and change into nice-looking clothes. Don't let my family The master and distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time, otherwise I will let you look good.

You communicate with them, I'll be waiting outside."

""Yes, Butler Hou," the man in a suit said, turned around and walked out.

Xiao Lanying noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and looked at the troupe owner in confusion.

"Class leader, what do you mean?"

The troupe owner smiled bitterly and said:"What can I mean? You should understand if I don't say anything about this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Xiao Lanying was stunned for a moment and understood what the boss said.

Someone has taken a fancy to her.

For this kind of thing, Xiao Lanying was a little surprised by the incident, but she quickly adapted to it and had no resistance at all.

After all, she was already married and had two daughters, so she was not as resistant as the little girl.

"Boss, do you mean Governor Duan?"

"Yes, that was Governor Duan's butler just now," said the troupe boss; after saying that, the boss lowered his head and looked a little guilty.

On the contrary, Xiao Lanying felt a little happy.

She was already at the level of a widow, and she could be seen by the governor of a province. Yes, I don't feel any resentment in my heart.

"Boss, I agreed to this."

The theater owner smiled bitterly and said:"She wants not only you, but also your two daughters, Yao Yulan and Yao Yuying."

As soon as these words came out, the entire theater backstage could hear the needle drop.

Yao Yulan The faces of the two sisters Yao Yuying and Yao Yuying were pale, and their eyes were a little frightened.

The two girls were only 15 years old, and they had never experienced such a thing.

The thought of serving the big warlord Duan Zhigui made them panic.

I had only heard of forced marriage before. But when it really happened to me, I realized how scared I was.

Xiao Lanying was a little happy at first, but at this moment, it completely disappeared.

She didn't care, but her daughter couldn't.

Besides, what she wanted was not her daughter, but them. Three, this is even more difficult to accept.

"Boss, I really can't accept this. I can't have this gold bar."

The troupe owner shook his head and said,"I can't make the decision in this matter, and I'm not qualified at all. Do you have the right to choose?"

A young boy who admired Xiao Lanying couldn't help but He was convinced and said:"This is the Republic of China with the Three People's Principles. We want to talk about democracy. Why can he be so domineering? At worst, he won't be performing here anymore." The troupe owner glared at the others and said,"Did I talk about democracy to you?

Confused, only officials are qualified to talk about democracy, understand?"

"I'm not convinced"

"If you don't accept it, you can just wait and be shot. Duan Du will kill you like a dog. Do you think you are qualified?"The theater owner said; then he looked at Xiao Lanying and said again:"You think about it first, and I'll talk to them later. I don't know if it will work. I can't help you, so don't blame me.

In this world, beautiful women have no freedom."

Everyone looked at Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, and Yao Yuying, mother and daughter, with sympathy.

"Are these people too overbearing and don't care about our life or death?"

"Is there no royal law?"

"Isn't there anyone who can take care of this bullying of men and women?"

"Lanying, mother and daughter are so pitiful, it makes me feel bad"

"Yes, no one expected to suffer such an unreasonable disaster"

""Mom, why don't we three run away?" said her younger sister Yao Yuying.

The theater troupe, which had some sympathy for Xiao Lanying's mother and daughter, heard this sentence, and their hearts trembled.

Suddenly, the sympathy in their eyes disappeared, and instead became Be vigilant and nervous. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Look at Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, Yao Yuying, mother and daughter as if they were fugitives.

They are not fools, if Xiao Lan (bdcd) If Eizo and his daughter run away, they will have to bear the consequences.

The consequences are too heavy and they cannot bear it.

Everyone will suffer the same consequences.

"You can't run away. If you three, mother and daughter, run away, we will all be shot.

You can't be so selfish"

"Yeah"

"Isn’t it just marrying Duan Dudu? Whoever you marry is not marrying."

"That is, if you marry Duan Duan, at least you can be popular and drink spicy food in the future, and no one will dare to bully you, and we can also get some benefits."

"It is better to be bullied by one person than to be bullied by countless people."

"You must not think about running away, you are just going to kill us."

Everyone said something to each other, leaving Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, and Yao Yuying speechless.

The two sisters Yao Yulan and Yao Yuying were a little incredible.

Before Why were the uncles and aunts who cared so much about them so indifferent?

The two women were so frightened that tears filled their eyes, and they were a little at a loss.

Xiao Lanying took a deep breath, lowered her head and remained silent, her eyes were extremely complicated, and her heart was filled with confusion. Weighing the pros and cons.

Without a backer, they couldn't withstand the wind and rain.

After the troupe owner went out, he found the housekeeper.

"You see, Xiao Lanying is our pillar, and her two daughters, Yao Yulan and Yao Yuying, are still on the rise in their careers. It will not be a problem to become famous actors in the future.

I have no plans to get married yet.

Look, how about I go and talk to Governor Duan in person?

Give them some time."

The butler said coldly:"It's just to convince an actor, but you still want Governor Duan to act in person?

I personally came to ventilate her, but I was always looking up to that woman.

Don't be ignorant, tell her you can ask for more money, but the work of accompanying the guests must be completed today.

This is what Governor Duan promised. If you can't do it, you have to weigh the consequences yourself.

I am here to inform you, not to discuss with you.

Don’t you have any idea why Governor Duan kept you here?"

After saying that, the housekeeper ignored the pale troupe owner and went up to the second floor.

When Wang Keqin saw the housekeeper's face when he came back, he knew that the matter was not going well. With a thought in his heart, he guessed that the matter must not have been completed.

Also He thought of a way to escape.

So he said to the three of them:"Captain Duan, Governor Shen, Mr. Yuan, let me go backstage to have a look first."

Yuan Kewen said,"Well, this is natural."

After Wang Keqin came to the backstage, he asked everyone to go out. Only three mothers and daughters, Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, and Yao Yuying, were left.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Keqin said:"Do you know who the nobleman Duan Zhigui asked you to accompany?"

The mother and daughter Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, and Yao Yuying shook their heads.

""It's Shen Hao, the governor of Guangdong."

Hearing this, the three women were stunned for a moment, a little surprised. They had always thought that Duan Zhigui had taken a liking to them, but they didn't expect that he was treating them as companions.

If they were accepted as concubines, it would still be okay. Isn't this escort a prostitute?

Even Xiao Lanying's face was pale and she was crying with grievances.

"He is looking for a woman, and there are many in the brothels. We are just actors, not prostitutes, so why force us?"

Wang Keqin said:"If you take the path of an actor, you are destined to encounter such a thing.

That famous actor didn’t become famous by marrying a rich and powerful person. Ordinary people don’t dare to marry us. If we can’t support them, it will also bring disaster.

Just like today.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a strong backer to avoid similar things happening in the future."

Xiao Lanying said:"I don't care, but Yulan and Yuying are still young, and I don't want them to become caged birds so early.

Besides, you still need me to accompany you. How can I raise my head in front of the two of them?"

Suddenly, Wang Keqin whispered a few words in Xiao Lanying's ear.

I don't know what he said, but Xiao Lanying's face looked much better. , hesitantly said:"Is this good? What if something happens?"

"Don’t worry, I’m here and nothing will happen."
