Chapter 243 The People on the Ship in Scroll B

   "Not going? Why not?" Feng Ziying put away her big gun and asked in confusion.

  Over there, Yun Chang had already wiped the young master's sweat with a sweat towel.

   The fight with this Liu Xianglian really made him exhausted, and his whole body was almost soaked.

Only then did he realize that his knives with knives, axes, and spears might be fine in battle, but if he wants to compare with Liu Xianglian's martial arts, which is purely for the purpose of personal fighting, then it's really a delivery of food. It's up to you.

   "What are you going to do? To be looked down upon by others, or to beg for leftovers?" Liu Xianglian also put away the sword, tidying up the scabbard and sword in her hand.

"For so many years, these people's grandparents ate food from a pot in name. It's a life-and-death friendship, but when your family is in trouble, how have you ever helped you? If Uncle Feng didn't help my family, Brother Yu The orphan and widowed mother family are afraid that they will starve to death long ago. Since his mother passed away, brother Yu has looked away. He has lived a happy life in this life and does not want to be subject to any constraints. The master wants me to go back to Kongtong to inherit his career, but brother Yu refuses .”

  Wearing snow-white arrow-sleeve dress, the whole body looks extraordinarily elegant and handsome, endowing him with a heroic and handsome gentleman. Even Feng Ziying has to admit that Liu Xianglian's appearance is too lethal.

   "But now that you're back, you have to make a living. You can't just hang out like this?"

  Feng Ziying also knew that Brother Liu was not the seed for studying, and never expected him to be able to study, but if this good martial artist can serve in the army, it may not be impossible for him to be lucky.

   Besides, everyone is from the children of Wu Xun, so you can find some connections.

  Even if you think Yulin is too far away and too bitter, you can still find a job in Beijing Camp, Long Jinwei, or Xuanfu Town or Datong Town.

"Brother Yu thinks there's nothing wrong with it. If one person eats enough, the whole family won't be hungry." Liu Xianglian looked indifferent. Is it going to open again? I heard that Prince Zhongshun wanted to support Jiang Qiguan as the head, so he bought the Mingyue Tower and wanted to compare it with the Yanzi Tower in the South City and the Raoliang Pavilion in the East City. Now the Swallow Tower Lou and Raoliang Pavilion are both interested in recruiting troops to fight with Mingyue Tower."

  Feng Ziying frowned.

This brother Liu Shikong has good martial arts skills, but he liked singing since he was a child. Both his singing skills and his appearance are first-class. It seems that he has not changed his preferences after traveling abroad for so many years. Now that he is back, he actually wants to to sing.

  It’s no wonder that opera singing has always been the most popular activity in this capital city. There are dozens of small singing groups, and there are more than a dozen outstanding ones.

  When it comes to opera singers, they have to be classified, and they are polarized.

The professional opera singers are naturally opera actors, they can do all sorts of things, and the amateur ones are the so-called entertainers, and most of them are those with some status, just like the eldest son of Wang Ziteng Don't you just like playing roles on stage?

  Prince Zhongshun, as a prince, of course he won't play roles on stage, but he also has a large group of actors in the mansion. If he has nothing to do, he can play roles by himself and sing with a group of actors, and enjoy it.

  Jiang Qiguan is the most favored character in his house. He is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but it is said that he is deeply liked by Prince Zhongshun. Now Prince Zhongshun actually wants to buy a theater for him to sing.

  There are many people in the capital city who like to listen to and sing operas. Even Feng Ziying's mother and aunt would invite some troupes to the mansion to sing twice a year.

   "Brother Xianglian, it's okay to be a puppet singer, if you want to make a living from it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Feng Ziying tactfully persuaded with a frown.

   At any rate, he can be regarded as a child of an aristocratic family. It doesn't matter if he wants to play tickets. If he really wants to become a professional actor, it will really become a big joke.

Dazhou followed the Ming system, and had special household registrations for prostitutes, who belonged to untouchables. Even if you Liu Xianglian would not change your household registration because of singing, but you have been hanging around such occasions for a long time without a regular businessman, you will be punished. People ridicule and criticize.

  Liu Xianglian also knew that what Feng Ziying said was for his own sake, and he also knew that this was not a long-term solution, but Feng Ziying hoped that he could take the road of joining the army, but he could not accept it.

  Military discipline is emphasized in the army, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be killed. It is totally unacceptable for a lazy person like him.

"Ziying, Brother Yu knows that you are doing it for my own good, but that is not the life I want. As for what will happen in the future, Brother Yu has not thought about it for the time being, so let's just do it for now. If you have good luck in the future, don't forget Brother Yu is, maybe if you become an elder or governor, Brother Yu can be your aide, guard or something, so I must be able to do it too."

  Feng Ziying was also very helpless about what Liu Xianglian said.

  He also planned several places for Liu Xianglian.

One is to join the army. You can go to Yulin to find a family background with your father, but Liu Xianglian obviously doesn't want to go to those remote and difficult places. A variety of complex interpersonal relationships.

The second is to find a way to become the Forbidden Captain of the Dragon. With Liu Xianglian's level of martial arts, being a Forbidden Dragon is more than enough. Whether it is spying on the outside world or controlling secret investigations internally, Liu Xianglian is completely competent, and this kind of life will not It's too hard, but Liu Xianglian is unwilling to do this kind of dirty and dark business that inevitably involves a lot of contact.

   If there is any more, I can only do some work for myself, but unless it is a last resort, Feng Ziying is unwilling to arrange for him. The original good friends may gradually become sour because of these livelihoods, and even lose such a friend.

  Since he wants to have fun playing tickets and singing opera now, it can only be up to him.

"Okay, Ziying, go and do your own business, leave me alone, I know how to do it myself." Liu Xianglian waved her hand, "If you want to improve your martial arts, I will I can practice hard with you, um, within a year, you can make a lot of progress, but if you want to improve, I'm afraid you need to practice hard for a long time, but I don't think you need to do this,..."

  Feng Ziying really has no plans in this regard.

Improving the level of martial arts is not achieved overnight, and he doesn't have so much time and energy to spend on it. With the current level, as Liu Xianglian said, generally three or five people can't hurt him, but when he really meets a professional Assassins and masters, it is useless to practice for another three to five years.

   It’s just that Feng Ziying was very disappointed that Liu Xianglian had no intention of joining the army and Captain Long.

  Feng Ziying found it incredible that Liu Xianglian in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" had nothing to do, and finally became a monk or became a strong beam.

   Of course, no one can tell whether this will be the case in this life, but the other party is obviously a bit of a maverick, unwilling to follow the path set for him by others, which also makes Feng Ziying a little helpless.

  A family friend, who also thinks that the other party is good in all aspects, would rather play tickets and sing operas, but is unwilling to find a real business. It can only be said that this person prefers the non-mainstream life of this era.

  But you can’t say that this kind of non-mainstream life is not good.

In the era and environment I lived in in my previous life, this kind of non-mainstream life might be more comfortable than 99% of ordinary people. The actors and actresses of that era were really stylish. up.

  Since the idea of ​​trying to change Liu Xianglian’s fate has failed, Feng Ziying will not force her. Everyone has their own way and destiny, some people can change, and some people are not willing to change.

  Feng Ziying's Zhongju celebration banquet was finally arranged in Feng's residence.

  A total of six tables of guests were reached.

  These days, restaurant banquets are generally relatively ordinary banquets, or most of them are casual meals. For real wealthy families, few banquets are held in restaurants.

   At this time, it can be seen that the current scale of the Feng Mansion is slightly smaller. Fortunately, it can barely accommodate it after a little squeeze.

   Duan couldn't refuse Wang Ziteng's suggestion. In fact, Feng Ziying finally gave her mother a final opinion of acceptance.

  He has "a kind intention", you have no reason to refuse.

  The guest list was drafted by Wang Ziteng. It turned out that most of the four kings, eight lords, twelve lords and a large number of other descendants of Wu Xun who followed the Taizu to conquer the world were all included.

  Of course, after 70 or 80 years, there are still many people who have fallen to the point where no one cares about them. Those who can step into Feng's residence to participate in such a celebration banquet still have some status.

   People like Liu Xianglian were naturally excluded. Of course, this was not included in Wang Ziteng's list, and it was another matter for Feng Ziying to invite Liu Xianglian.

In addition to drafting the list, Wang Ziteng also helped to contact some guests. Of course, Feng Ziying would personally deliver the invitations to the door, but if Wang Ziteng hadn't come to say hello, these people might not accept the invitation just because a martial arts disciple won the election , or accept it and only send an insignificant character to attend.

   "Come on, Ziying, let me introduce you to the guests." When the guests began to arrive one after another, Wang Ziteng introduced the guests to Feng Ziying one by one, as if he was an elder of Feng Ziying's family.

   "Dongping County King Mu Tanmu, my lord, long time no see, this one is the best of our Wu Xun disciples, Feng Zitang's son, Feng Ziying, a member of the current branch of Shuntian Qiuwei!..."

   This is Mu Tan, the king of Dongping County, the head of the four kings? Mu Tan, the grandson of Mu Shi, the inscriber of the couplet in Jia's mansion?

  The slightly skinny cheeks look gloomy, the cheekbones are high, and the momentum is full, but there is a little more aura, which makes people reluctant to touch.

   "My nephew has met the prince." Feng Ziying was still a little surprised that this one would attend in person.

   Is it because Wang Ziteng has enough face, or is there another reason? Feng Ziying didn't believe that she would attract so much attention from the opponent. Besides, the four kings were now in a state of decline, but a dead camel was bigger than a horse. Over the years, the four kings still made friends with many important officials and veterans in the army.

"Excuse me, it really is my martial arts talent. Since Tang has this son, I should be satisfied." With a half-smile grinning, the Dongping County King looked Feng Ziying up and down. There was a little complexity in his eyes, which seemed to hide What, but Feng Ziying couldn't tell what it tasted like.

  Dongping County King just entered, but another big man arrived.

   This person even knew Feng Ziying, the Beijing Camp Jiedu envoy, hereditary first-class Bo Niu Jizong, and Wang Ziteng's successor, he also came in person.
