Chapter 161 - Moving to Song Manor
“This slipper orchid is well taken care of,” Master Song’s attention was attracted by the flower that Li Xiangling gave him.
“I raised it myself. It’s not worthy of Uncle Song’s praise,” Li Xiangling replied humbly.
She had kept it for a few years. She left it with a friend who knew how to take care of it back in Beijing. Yesterday, she went out of her way to take it back.
Yun Xiangxiang felt a twinge of pain as she looked at the pot of orchids. Slipper orchids may not be as valuable as ghost orchids, but it is still a rare species.
Li Xiangling was worried that Yun Xiangxiang was feigning perfections. After all, there was a great gap between her background and Song Mian’s background.
She was concerned that Yun Xiangxiang ignored the Song Family’s harshness toward her because of how great Song Mian was. That was why she needed to see it for herself.
She could never tell her parents that she was dating at this age. Xiangling was worried that she might be over compromising.
This pot of slipper orchid was raised when she was in high school. She even brought it along with her when she moved to Beijing from her home when she furthered her studies. Her love for it was undeniable.
Yun Xiangxiang dared not to ask this person to coach her. She only had these few days where she could come in on time. Every session after that would have some hiatus between them.
She was worried that Sir Yuan would think that she was doing this for fun, instead of truly learning Shaoxing opera.
For a master of Shaoxing opera whose life is Shaoxing opera, that would be a sacrilege to his legacy.
“I have the most spare time in the opera institution,” Yuan Pingqiu chuckled.
He did not lie to Yun Xiangxiang. With his climbing age, he could not appear on the stage anymore. He had handed the opera institution’s operations to his son.
He was now a retired man who lived a leisure life of playing with his grandchildren.
“Don’t be nervous. I know your difficulties,” Yuan Pingqiu had seen everything at his age. “Just tell me when you have time.”
When he had already insisted, Yun Xiangxiang could only bite the bullet, “I need to shoot tomorrow. School will start after that.”
She could only learn while she studied.
“That’s easy to take care of. Just move to the Song Manor and live here.” Master Song turned around to say to Yuan Pingqiu, “Aren’t you lucky?”
