In the busy city of Yangzhou, the sun is bright in the morning, which brings some warmth to the cold winter of the twelfth month.
An open street was surrounded by a guardrail, which was crowded everywhere, with three floors inside and three floors outside. A huge stage was set up in the middle of the crowd, on which a group of actors were performing the popular opera Peony Pavilion.
Obviously, the head is surging, but there is no one here to speak. Even coughing, he covers his mouth and keeps the volume down as much as possible, for fear that the noisy voice will affect the beautiful performance.
The troupe of this performance is not ordinary. It is the famous "Huasui garden". Normal opera performances are usually performed in the troupe''s garden, but this is a tour of Huasui garden. Naturally, they will not come out with the garden. Therefore, the local government will contact them to help build a temporary platform.
It''s a big event for Huasui garden to perform in Yangzhou!
Yangzhou is close to Nanjing, and it is also a gathering place for literati. Huasui garden is a unique opera team. If you miss it, you can hardly lift your head in the elegant circle.
Therefore, the magistrate also made a great deal of this matter, gave a considerable space, set up a particularly spacious platform, and allocated a group of Yamen servants to the scene to maintain order. If you want to enter the fence to see the play, you have to buy tickets, otherwise you can only listen from a distance outside the fence. People outside the fence don''t want to look carefully.
The tickets have long been robbed. The supply is short of demand. You can''t buy them if you want to.
There are also high and low scores for buying tickets. You have to stand outside for standing tickets. There are dozens of rows of elegant seats in front of the platform, which is the ticket seat. These people who can get tickets to sit and listen are even the most famous people near Hangzhou.
Why is it near Hangzhou rather than within Hangzhou?
The performance of Huasui garden is so big. Don''t the big people in the nearby city of Hangzhou move at the news! People''s tour time is uncertain. When will we wait if we don''t listen to it near this time?
People who came to the scene were glad to have come. Everyone knows that Feng Junzhi, the leader of Huasui garden, has the best singing skills, and no one can surpass him. In the literary and art circle, he jokingly called him "Feng Yiqu, no regrets for death", which means that he can listen to him sing a song and really die without regrets.
These people who came here today really died without regret... Feng Junzhi actually took the stage in person and sang a leading role!
As soon as he opened his voice, even the laymen who didn''t know what to do but came to join the fun closed their mouths and were intoxicated with the opera.
The play Peony Pavilion describes the story that Du Liniang, the daughter of the government, fell in love with Liu Mengmei, the scholar in her dream, but died of injury, turned into a soul, looked for a lover in reality, fell in love with people and ghosts, finally came back from the dead, and finally got married with Liu Mengmei. Feng Junzhi played the leading role, scholar Liu Mengmei.
He has a refined temperament and acts as a scholar. He is really like a scholar who studies hard and wants to get fame.
However, other roles are not simple, solid singing skills, make people bright. Of course, if only one Feng Junzhi in Huasui garden sings well, then only Feng Junzhi is famous, not Huasui garden.
One of the most eye-catching is to play against Feng Junzhi, playing the role of the heroine Du Liniang. He is a young man, but he doesn''t lose the beauty of a woman with Dan makeup. He plays Miss Qianjin vividly, and there is no defect in singing a female voice.
The two men really saw the audience''s soul and dream, and almost forgot to blink.
In the corner of the front row under the stage, there were two men and women with very simple clothes compared with other dignitaries.
At this time, the stage is playing until the scholar has finished the exam and comes to Du Liniang''s home to meet Du Liniang''s father. Governor Du says he is his son-in-law. Governor Du blames him for his nonsense, digs his daughter''s grave and orders him to be locked up and hanged for trial. However, scholar Liu Chumei didn''t regret at all. He wanted to tell governor du that he was going to marry his daughter. His heart was sincere.
This plot is the most soul stirring and touching.
The man in the corner frowned and drew another piece of straw paper from his arms to the girl next to him. The girl was also polite. She stared at the performance on the stage, took the papyrus and sipped her nose and tears without saying a word.
"You''re running out of straw paper I''ve hidden. I want to go to the hut later. There''s no paper. Can you save some?"
The girl seemed to hear the whispering beside her. She turned back and stared at him with her golden sand pink eyes: "after reading it later, my subordinates will help you get a stack of papyrus back, which will never affect the master''s toilet, so can you stop talking?"
"OK, OK, I''m sorry. I''m sorry. I''m wrong. I''ll shut up and you continue... You''re welcome. There''s another one here." the man skillfully took another piece of straw paper and handed it to him.
The natural audience here are Mei qianxiao and Cao Ling.
When they got off the boat in Hangzhou, they smiled mysteriously and brought Cao ling here to watch the tour of Huasui garden.
Look at this attitude. Who is the boss and who is the subordinate? When he was on board, he also said that he could repay it with salt and sweetness, but now he was more fierce than his mother.
He put his attention back on the stage. Feng Junzhi''s singing is really first-class... But he is not as fascinated as others. Maybe it is because he has heard it several times and is not so amazing. When the goods were drinking with the master, sometimes the interest came or the master asked him to help. He was happy to sing a few words.
Until the end of the performance, there was heartfelt warm applause on the venue for a long time. Feng Junzhi had to take everyone to the stage several times. It was very difficult, but he was also very grateful.
Cao Ling naturally clapped her hands red. She even wondered if she was excited to use her internal power when clapping her hands. He was so close that his ears were almost ringing.
"The performance of Huasui garden was great! The praise of leader Feng was like immortal sound into the world, and the lead was spotless!" Cao Ling said happily when no one came out for a curtain call on the stage.
The white jade like little face is cold and gorgeous, and his face is red, because he was very happy about the final perfect ending of the Peony Pavilion. He completely forgot that even his immediate boss dared to be fierce when he was at a low ebb... Oh, woman.
"Yes, it''s very good." Meiqian smiled and clapped his hands hard to avoid being out of tune with the excited crowd around him. "I didn''t expect Feng Junzhi to sing on the stage. I lost a lot. I knew this ticket would turn over... Cough, of course not. It''s a shame to be a scalper!"
He pulled the ticket rebate with Feng Yiqu, the sacred and inviolable song in Cao Ling''s mind. He immediately saw a sudden change in Cao Ling''s expression and experienced what a woman turns her face faster than a book.
"Thank you for teaching me... Brother Mei brought me here. Why did brother Mei want to listen to the opera on a whim?" Cao Ling asked curiously.
"The tickets given by others suddenly remind me of ''Sheng''. They say you like Feng Junzhi''s opera. The time and place happen to be appropriate. I''ll show you."
In fact, at first, meiqianxiao didn''t plan to come at all. They almost forgot the two tickets. But in the heartless Island, in addition to the demons, some things have seen through a lot, and the mood is not as urgent as it was at first, so I remember it.
"I didn''t expect brother Mei to remember his subordinates. Thank you very much." Cao Ling bowed her head and thanked him.
She really likes Feng Junzhi very much, but things are busy. She doesn''t have time to go to Huasui garden to listen to a good song. Occasionally, Huasui garden toured nearby. Most of her didn''t have time. Even if she had time, she couldn''t get tickets.
The tickets in the first row are very expensive. There is no market for them. Ordinary people can''t get them. Besides, Feng Junzhi finished the whole play on stage today, which is worth more than a thousand gold.
Fortunately, Cao Ling didn''t tell meiqianxiao the real value of the ticket, otherwise meiqianxiao regretted that she couldn''t sleep well this month.
