Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

When the cargo ship was about to arrive at Jincheng Wharf, Nanchun went to find Jin Zirui.

"Young Master Jin, I have friends in Jincheng and I want to go see them. I will walk from Jincheng to Yangcheng by myself." Nanchun said.

"What? This...you go by yourself? How can this be possible?" Jin Zirui looked embarrassed.

"My friend travels between Jincheng and Yangcheng all year round. I can just go with him." Nanchun saw that he was hesitant and continued, "It would be much faster to ride a horse or take a car from Jincheng to Yangcheng. I want to see Bai Xun earlier, so..."

Jin Zirui was amused when he heard this and jokingly said, "So you want to see the Second Young Master sooner! Okay then, please be careful on the road."

Nanchun nodded and agreed.

Near noon, the cargo ship arrived at Jincheng Wharf. Jin Zirui personally sent Nanchun off the ship and watched him leave the wharf before returning.

Nanchun left Jin Zirui's sight, but did not go far.

He changed his clothes and wandered around the dock.

He had planned from the beginning to say goodbye to Jin Zirui in Jincheng.

He went to Yangcheng to secretly look for Fourth Master Sheng. If he went to Yangcheng with Jin Zirui, he would definitely send him to Bai Xun personally, and it would be difficult for him to act alone.

I heard from the boatman on the cargo ship that Mr. Sheng Si has a house in Jincheng and he occasionally comes to the dock to handle affairs.

Nanchun wanted to try his luck.

It would be great if we could find Fourth Master Sheng before going to Yangcheng.

At this time, Bai Xun might have received the news that he was going to Yangcheng. The Bai family has extensive connections in Yangcheng, and it is possible that people would know about him as soon as he entered the city.

Nanchun walked around the dock and saw an old man who was checking the goods and was sitting in the shade smoking a pipe, bored.

"Uncle, can I ask you something?" Nanchun squatted down beside him with a smile.

"You look unfamiliar, young man? Are you from another place?" The old man knocked the ashes from his pipe on the ground.

"Yes, I just arrived in Jincheng today. I heard that this wharf belongs to the Fourth Master of the Sheng family. I was thinking about whether I could meet the Fourth Master and find a job for him." Nanchun said as he took out a bag of dried meat from his bag and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn't hesitate and took one to eat.

"There are many young people like you who want to follow the Fourth Master, but only a few of them may catch his eye."

"Really? Then how could you catch the Fourth Master's eye? Please tell me about it." Nanchun asked.

The old man looked him over, shook his head, and said, "He's someone who can endure hardships, and he's loyal and righteous. You look delicate and tender, and you don't look like someone who can endure hardships. Although you're wearing coarse clothes, a closer look reveals that you're the pampered son of a wealthy family."

Nanchun smiled awkwardly. Ever since she entered the Bai family, she had indeed been pampered by Bai Xunjiao.

"Alas, Master, you don't know. My family has fallen on hard times... I'm really at my wit's end, so I'm thinking of seeking refuge with Fourth Master Sheng..." Nanchun said with a look of sorrow, "I just want to meet Fourth Master Sheng. I won't force it, but for the sake of my elderly grandfather and mother, I have to give it a try."

The old man sighed and said, "For your filial piety, I will tell you quietly."

Nanchun nodded and moved her head closer to him.

"It's not that easy to see the Fourth Master. Visiting cards from ordinary people are useless. Not to mention giving gifts and spending money, the Fourth Master is not short of money and won't fall for that. If you really want to see the Fourth Master, you can try to ask the actors from the Xiyan Troupe for help." The old man whispered.

"Xiyanban? But the famous Xiyanban in Yangcheng?" Nanchun looked at him in surprise.

The old man nodded and continued in a low voice, "Yes, the Fourth Master's greatest hobby is listening to opera. As you know, the Fourth Master has never married or taken a concubine. So in the past two years, there have been rumors that he has a romantic relationship with a leading actress from the Xiyan Troupe. Speaking of which, that actress is indeed very beautiful..."

"The star of Xiyan's troupe? Is he Mr. Chunxiao?" Nanchun asked hurriedly.

"Yes, that's him! Do you know him?"

“I was fortunate enough to hear his plays.”

What a coincidence!

After the scene between Bai Xun and him and Zheng Jiufu at the theater, the Xiyan Troupe's leader went to Bai's house before leaving to give him and Chunxiao a thank-you gift. He also said that Mr. Chunxiao was very grateful to them.

If we really find Mr. Chunxiao, he should be able to help with this.

"It's a good thing Yan Ban is in Yangcheng. If you want to find Mr. Chunxiao, you have to go to Yangcheng. I heard that the Fourth Master has been staying in Jincheng recently..."

The old man shook his head and said, "No, the Xiyan Troupe has been in Jincheng recently and has been performing for two days in a row. Fourth Master Sheng hired them to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his transportation company. You can try your luck at the East City Theater; you might see Fourth Master there."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir!" Nanchun took out two dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand.

"Oh, you are a sensible and interesting young man. You will become a great man in the future!" The old man smiled from ear to ear.

Nanchun clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your good wishes!"

After leaving the dock, Nanchun hurried into the city.

The streets are bustling with people, and on both sides of the streets are rows of quaint old houses with blue bricks and black tiles.

Nanchun asked someone about the location of the theater.

"Are you also going to see Mr. Chunxiao?"

Nanchun nodded and said, "I've had the pleasure of hearing his story of a drunken concubine before, and I can't forget it!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chunxiao's The Drunken Concubine is a work that only exists in heaven! However, you can't buy a ticket if you go there now."

"It's okay, I'll go over and take a look first."

The theater entrance was crowded with people. Nanchun tried to squeeze in, but was pushed out after taking two steps.

"Sir, do you have a ticket?" A young boy grinned at Nanchun.

Nanchun shook his head and said, "No."

"I can get the tickets, do you want them?" He looked away and said in a low voice.

Before Nanchun could say anything, a waiter-like man suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Hey, isn't that Hu Zi? Why are you here to join in the fun?"

The young man who had just chatted with him rolled his eyes, as if he didn't believe that they knew each other.

Nanchun smiled and said, "Hey, brother, are you free?"

The waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel around his neck, put his arm around his shoulders, and said, "Let's go to the store and talk."

After they walked for a while, the waiter whispered, "That man was a ticket scalper, and he was selling fake tickets. He knew you were from out of town, so he attacked you. If you trust him, come to my shop for a cup of tea and I'll tell you everything."

Nanchun looked at him doubtfully: "I don't have any money to cheat you out of!"

The waiter laughed heartily and said, "Look, that's my shop. I just want to make some money. The prices are clearly marked, and we're fair to everyone!"

Nanchun looked up and saw that the teahouse was just across the alley from him. He was really hungry and thirsty at the moment, so he nodded and followed him to the teahouse.
