Chapter 9 The End of an Era
The shrimps are crystal clear and tender like white jade. The Longjing tea leaves dotted with upper parts are elegant in color and fragrant.
When the shrimps are in the mouth, the tender touch is swaying towards the tip of the tongue. The swelling shrimps collide with their teeth. A fragrance from the Mingqian Longjing spreads throughout the mouth. It makes you eat it and you will enjoy the appetite and feel endless aftertaste.
After a storm, the entire table was left with a mess. After eating and drinking, the three of them looked at each other and realized that they were all fellow practitioners, and foodies all over the world were all family.
"Where will we go next?"
Wu Xuan leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes blank. At this time, his head was empty. The only consciousness in his mind made him feel that as a fake tour guide, he should be responsible for today's itinerary. This was the last stubbornness of the fake tour guide Wu Xuan.
"Let's go, eat and drink well. Now let's go to West Lake and walk around the shore to digest food."
"Haole, I have long wanted to go to see West Lake. Sister Su, please lead the way."
After walking out of the restaurant gate, Xu Wenruo realized something and seemed to have forgotten to check out.
"Did we forget to check out?"
"Uh...it seems to be true."
"Then how did we get out and why didn't the waiter stop us."
Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan were talking to him and planned to go back to check the bill. They did not intend to escape the order, but their brains were short-circuited for a while. Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan turned around and were stopped by Su Jing.
"Okay, you guys have just realized that I had already gone to the front desk to borrow the bill when I ordered the food. Don't worry."
"Ah, we didn't notice it just now. By the way, we'll transfer it to you."
"Yes, it's better to go out to play AA. We can't take advantage of Sister Su, you should."
As he said that, Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan took out their cell phones from their pockets and prepared to transfer money to Su Jing, but Sister Su was not grateful and waved her hands at the two of them, and then walked in front with a free and easy expression.
"Okay, don't be polite. After all, you call me Sister Su, and I still have the money to treat you to a meal. Okay, meeting is fate. This little thing will not happen. In addition, Xu Wenruo, this is also my apology to you on behalf of Xiaowen."
Seeing this, Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan looked at each other. Wu Xuan wanted to say something, but Xu Wenruo shook his head at him.
Since Su Jing has said that, everyone is a child of the world, there is no need to be so petty. I will just invite Sister Su to have a meal if I have the chance. There is no need to share it so clearly, otherwise it may hurt my relationship.
Su Jing, who was gradually moving away, turned around and saw that the two of them were still moving behind him, so she waved to them. Seeing this, Xu Wenruo and the others quickly chased after him.
The beautiful scenery of West Lake in early summer is charming.
The rain is accumulated and the green stream is rising. I occasionally look for the place I walk alone.
After the green shade and yellow birds return in spring, red flowers and green moss are sparsely traced.
Walking on the path by the lake is different from other scenic spots. West Lake is an open scenic spot, and you can stroll around the lake shore.
Except for the large number of people in popular places such as the Ten Views of West Lake, there are not many pedestrians in other places, and there is no feeling of crowding.
Xu Wenruo and his friends started walking from Sudi, passing by Yuewang Temple in the middle, and the end was about to reach the Broken Bridge.
I walked along the way, chatting and laughing while walking, but I didn’t feel tired. The breeze in the early summer was slightly drunk, and I didn’t feel hot when I walked in the shadow of the street trees.
During the chat, Xu Wenruo also learned a lot of past events in Sister Su.
Su Jing, who grew up in Lin'an, grew up with her grandparents. Since her grandparents were both older generation opera actors, Su Jing also developed a great interest in opera.
So under their arrangement, Su Jing became the master of the famous Peking Opera actor Shi Lan, and Su Jing did not disappoint everyone's expectations. In a few years, he learned the true teachings of his master and soon became famous in the capital.
But the subsequent scene was not satisfactory, and it can even be said that it was very cruel to Su Jing.
The operas sung by the Wanjia family gradually declined, especially when it came to Su Jing's generation, basically no one listened to them.
Even though she has a crisp and moving voice of the ancestors, no matter how beautiful she is, she cannot impress the empty space in the audience.
Su Jing's master Shi Lan has gone through strong winds and waves. The decline of drama does not happen suddenly every day, but gradually declines with gradual decline.
As the older generation of famous actor Shi Lan had no choice but to watch the chronic death of opera she loved and devoted her life to.
Shi Lan, who almost witnessed the end of an era, also had the idea of saving opera when she was young and took action.
Let me ask, how can an artist with great talent watch the opera he loves fall day by day, and how can he give up the opportunity to turn the tide and revive the opera world?
To this day, the fate of the decline of opera seems to be destined, and Shi Lan's heart is full of despair. What she can do now is to let her apprentice leave this industry that has entered the coffin.
She didn't want her beloved disciple to live in despair in the future like herself. Even though Su Jing's talent was excellent and not inferior to her when she was young, Shi Lan didn't want Su Jing to repeat the same mistakes.
If someone chooses to be buried with the opera, Shi Lan must hope that this person is himself, not his beloved disciple Su Jing.
Later, before Su Jing returned to Lin'an, she had time to think about her future, she was brought to participate in "Idol Training Camp" by her friend Zhou Xinwen.
It just so happened that Su Jing also wanted to try a new life. Perhaps becoming a female idol who can sing and dance on the stage is also a good choice. Su Jing had originally planned to transform, but now she hit it off and Su Jing planned to try it.
On the shore of Xizi Lake, Sister Su talked to Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan about why she came to participate in "Idol Training Camp" like an outsider. Her tone was calm and she could not see any melancholy at all. Her expression seemed to be relieved.
"I didn't expect Sister Su to have such a tortuous life experience."
Wu Xuan was very moved when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the young and generous girl in front of him would have such a tragic past, but he immediately changed his mind and restored his optimist nature.
"It's different like me. I just come to have fun while I'm free during the summer vacation."
"Hey, what about you, Xu Wenruo, why do you want to participate in "Idol Training Camp"?"
Wu Xuan set his eyes on Xu Wenruo and made an expression of intending to listen to the story.
"I?"
Xu Wenruo stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the green West Lake in the distance with a deep look.
"Of course I am determined to become an idol that everyone admires and change people's perception of idols."
"Tsk! I knew your dog couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth."
Xu Wenruo turned around and looked at Wu Xuan, with a disdainful expression on his face, snorted lightly, and then said:
"How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan!"
"Okay! Xu Wenruo, I must distinguish you from you today and see how you want to do it!"
"You, a three-legged cat, dare to compete with me? I can settle you with one hand!"
Su Jing quietly looked at the two young men who were fighting and making trouble. She looked like a mature person who was not of this age, and her eyes were filled with a hint of envy. The boy didn't know the taste of sorrow. It was so good.
