If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

With the opening of Lan Kwai Fong, I believe the entire Nanhai district will be immersed in sweetness this Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhou Wu and the theater staff had already boarded a ship bound for the capital.

They traveled smoothly all the way to the capital.

The theatergoers, led by Wu Tianji, exclaimed that the capital city, which they had left behind, was still as prosperous as ever.

"There are so many people down there."

A large crowd had gathered at the Beijing dock. Everyone was thinking about this, but then someone actually put up several banners.

Welcome to all the actors of the Nanhai Theater

Welcome to the famous actress Bai Suzhen (White Snake) and Wu Tianji.

"Hehe, I've met a true fan."

Zhou Wu immediately understood. It turned out that he had encountered fans at the airport. He never expected that such a situation would occur in this era, nor did he expect that Wu Tianji had become so popular.

"What do you mean by 'true fan'?"

"It doesn't matter, they seem to be here to pick you up."

As expected, as soon as they disembarked, these enthusiastic fans surrounded them, far exceeding expectations, and even alarming the dock guards.

"Make way, all of you."

Because Zhou Wu was there, and the theater had received an invitation from the palace, these guards naturally took on the security duties, arranging for people to escort them all the way to their lodgings.

Zhou Wu led the theater staff directly to his residence in the capital, and Wu Tianji hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Actually, we should just stay in a guesthouse."

"While you're in the capital, please stay at my house for now. It's not convenient to go out in the current situation."

Before coming, Zhou Wu hadn't deliberately thought about where to stay, but after seeing the scene at the dock, he brought everyone back directly, since his own home was much safer.

. . . . . . .

Just as Zhou Wu was about to take a rest, his maid arrived.

"My lord, the Ninth Princess has arrived."

"Xixue? Are you that well-informed?"

Zhou Wu thought Li Xixue had come specifically to see him, but Li Xixue's first words made Zhou Wu lose his confidence.

Where is Lady White Snake?

Li Xixue looked around, trying to figure out what the White Snake Lady in her mind really looked like.

"Weren't you looking for me?"

"Looking for you? I'm looking for Lady White Snake. Where is she?"

Although the Legend of the White Snake was only performed at the Nanhai Theater, many mainland tourists came to Nanhai District specifically to see it, and its fame had already spread back to the mainland. Coupled with the best-selling nature of its storybooks, this is why the Legend of the White Snake became so popular in the mainland, but the extent of its popularity exceeded everyone's expectations.

"They should practice in the backyard."

"Take me to see her quickly. Hurry, hurry!"

Li Xixue used her charm to get Zhou Wu to obey, and he led Li Xixue to the backyard.

When the group rehearsing saw Zhou Wu appear with a little girl by his side, they all stopped what they were doing.

"Let me introduce you all, this is the Ninth Princess."

It turned out to be Her Highness the Princess, and everyone bowed in greeting.

Li Xixue told everyone to dispense with formalities and then went directly to Wu Tianji.

"You must be Lady White Snake."

"The commoner Wu Tianji is indeed the actress who played Bai Suzhen."

"That's wonderful! So you really are Lady White Snake! I knew I wouldn't mistake you. It's great that I've met the real Lady White Snake."

Zhou Wu was sweating profusely as he listened. What did he mean by "the living White Snake"?

"Your Highness is too kind. It's all thanks to Lord Zhou's excellent teaching."

Wu Tianji, having spent most of her time in the capital, was naturally adept at handling interpersonal relationships. Given their different social statuses, in order to avoid future troubles, she attributed all the credit to Zhou Wu.

"What? Zhou Wu taught him? Zhou Wu can teach people to act?"

Now it was Li Xixue's turn to be surprised. He had always thought Zhou Wu was a martial artist with literary talent, but he never expected that the other party would actually teach people to act.

"Zhou Wu, can you teach me too? I also want to play the White Snake."

"You can not."

Zhou Wu refused without even thinking, and Li Xixue immediately questioned him angrily.

"why."

“You’re not suitable. Every role has its own personality and physical characteristics. Bai Suzhen is a thousand-year-old snake demon. You’re just a little girl. Do you think you can portray that kind of feeling?”

"What kind of roles can I play?"

Zhou Wu simply wanted to avoid trouble, but little did he know that Li Xixue would press him for an answer.

"Uh~~~"

Zhou Wu actually wanted to say that Li Xixue was not suitable for anything, but it was obvious that this answer would anger her.

"Guo Bilian, yes, Guo Bilian is you, and you're about the same age."

"What! I don't want to play Guo Bilian, I don't like her."

Guo Bilian, the wife of Bai Suzhen's son Xu Shilin. To be honest, when Zhou Wu was looking at Bai Suzhen, he probably didn't like his first wife, Guo Bilian, because of Mei Niang's wishes.

"Then there's nothing we can do. You're too young. Only Guo Bilian is the right age for you."

Zhou Wu was very impressed with himself; his reason was both legitimate and reasonable, and Li Xixue had no way to refute it.

"Then I won't act anymore, hmph."

Li Xixue watched their rehearsal with great interest, while Zhou Wu also had a moment of peace and rested well for the afternoon.

It was almost evening, and Li Xixue was still unwilling to leave. Zhou Wu then found her and persuaded her for a long time before she finally agreed to return to the palace.

If word got out that an unmarried princess had stayed at a minister's house until dark, it would definitely cause Zhou Wu a lot of trouble.

"The little ancestor has finally left."

After seeing Li Xixue off, he let out a long sigh.

"You and the Ninth Princess are very close?"

Suddenly, Wu Tianji, who was standing to the side, asked a question out of the blue.

"Yes."

Zhou Wu didn't think much of it and answered truthfully. However, after hearing Zhou Wu's answer, Wu Tianji seemed to be deep in thought.

"By the way, there are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't overwork yourselves. Take a break when you need to. It's good to balance work and rest."

At noon, I watched as the people at the theater, after getting off the boat, rested briefly before starting rehearsals. I felt a little sorry for them and tried to persuade them to stop.

"That won't do. This is a performance for His Majesty and the Empress in the palace. We can't afford to be careless. You don't need to worry about us. Just go about your business."

As the person in charge of the theater and the lead actress in "The Legend of the White Snake," Wu Tianji simply waved her hand, indicating to Zhou Wu that he didn't need to worry about it.

Originally, she just wanted to open a teahouse to pass the time while being lazy, but now that she's on Zhou Wu's pirate ship and doing a great job, Wu Tianji naturally has to take it seriously and make sure there are no problems with any of her performances.

Because in Wu Tianji's heart, this not only affected herself and the theater, but she was even more afraid of implicating the South China Sea and Zhou Wu.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Zhou Wu could only shake his head and leave.

Although he was not often in the capital, he had many friends. Zhou Wu rarely returned to the capital, so he took the opportunity to visit them one by one and brought them some special products from the South China Sea so that they would not become estranged.

They returned with a full load. Those who could befriend Zhou Wu were naturally birds of a feather; there were no hidden agendas, and everyone was perfectly agreeable.
