บท 18: The Old Saying
บรรณาธิการ: Henyee Translations
When Su Qing was an apprentice, he often had the opportunity to perform on stage, but most of the time, he served as a tea-serving waiter in the theater.
Although there were no official rewards during the apprenticeship period, some generous or interested actors would occasionally give him tips when he served them tea and water.
However, Su Bin didn't think much of Su Qing's tips. He held a disdainful view of actors in general.
"Fourth Brother, you should think carefully before entering the acting class and pursuing a career as an actor."
"A woman fears marrying the wrong man, and a man fears choosing the wrong profession."
Su Qing tried to explain, "Third Brother, I understand your perspective, but not everyone has the talent or means to pursue higher education. Besides, studying requires a significant amount of money."
Su Bin coldly reminded him, his expression hardened, "Actors are considered lower in status compared to other professions!"
In his eyes, actresses were on par with the courtesans of the Yihong Brothel.
He didn't want to witness his fourth brother's future being ruined.
Su Qing immediately retorted, "But I disagree! Moreover, I love singing opera! Father used to say that excellence can be achieved in any field. Why can't I pursue what I love in the theater?!"
Su Bin's anger flared. "You'll regret it!"
Su Qing firmly replied, "I will never regret it!"
Su Bin sneered, "It's your choice then!"
His expression seemed to convey to Su Qing that if he became an actor, he shouldn't address him as Third Brother anymore.
As tears welled up in Su Qing's eyes, he fought hard to hold them back, refusing to let them fall. Instead, he turned away from the study and made his way back to his room.
Su Ping followed him, attempting to offer comfort. Although he also had reservations about Ling pursuing opera, he lacked the means to provide a better alternative for him.
Meanwhile, Su Bin tightly clenched his fists, resisting the urge to strike the desk. He was enduring it all.
He had to secure a scholarship. He had to change the current circumstances at home.
Once he attained a high-ranking position and wielded power, his siblings would unquestioningly follow his lead. Only then could they live with dignity, free from scorn.
Su Bin opened a book and swiftly immersed himself in its contents, channeling his frustration into his studies.
It wasn't until Su Cheng arrived to call him for dinner that he emerged from the study. The enticing aroma of egg, vegetable, and pancakes greeted him.
Seeing a large platter of golden pancakes on the dining table, a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Ning'er's culinary skills had once again improved.
Of all his siblings, it was his little sister who provided him with the greatest solace and comfort.
He gazed at the egg pancakes, finding them particularly appetizing. His good mood, however, was dampened when he noticed that Qin Zhenzhen was seated at the same table as them. Hadn't they agreed that she would eat alone and not join them?
Although Su Bin didn't voice his displeasure, his previously uplifted spirits took a noticeable dip.
As everyone settled into their seats, Su Ning eagerly reached for a piece of the egg pancake and took a bite, her expression quickly transforming into one of disbelief.
How could these egg pancakes be so incredibly delicious?
It was a culinary delight she had never experienced before.
Despite lacking a meat filling, they surpassed any pancake she had ever tasted in terms of flavor.
If she hadn't witnessed it herself, she might have believed they were crafted by a master chef in the imperial palace.
Qin Zhenzhen remained silent, her understanding of the pancakes deepening after tasting them. The impact of the spirit water was undeniable.
Haha, her special ability truly worked wonders.
Even someone like her, who had savored countless delicacies, couldn't help but sigh in awe. These egg pancakes were truly extraordinary.
The expressions on the faces of the others mirrored Su Ning's astonishment.
They assumed Su Ning was the mastermind behind these delectable pancakes. Only Su Ning and Su Cheng were privy to the truth.
