Chapter 29: A song of sorrow for the world
"The north wind blows...the snowflakes flutter..."
The tune of the famous song written by Yun Zhao in Beijing Mandarin Kou Bai sang slowly from the door, and the classic woman in red appeared vividly on the stage.
This is an extremely novel cultural activity, especially the colloquial lyrics, which can be understood even by illiterate people.
Although the family is poor, the tenderness between Xi'er and her father Yang Bailao still touches many people. For those who are a little older, it easily reminds them of their parents.
When Mu Renzhi appeared, all the music became gloomy. This no-suspense design made Xu Yuanshou and other gentlemen who were watching the performance frown slightly.
However, this only happened for a moment, and soon Mu Renzhi's ferocity made them quickly enter the plot.
When the scene where Yang Bailao was forced to drink brine in large gulps appeared, Xu Yuanshou’s hands clenched the armrests of the chair.
Some people in the venue were even shouting - don’t drink, it’s poisonous!
If Yang Bailao's death reminds people of his parents who worked hard all their lives but had nothing, Xi'er, who lost his father's protection, is just a weakling in the eyes of Huang Shiren, Mu Renzhi and a group of accomplices. The lamb...
When Xi'er was lifted up by the accomplices, some scholars who felt the same way actually jumped up and shouted that they wanted to kill Huang Shiren.
If the Xi'er who just appeared was so beautiful, then the Xi'er who entered Huang Shiren's home was so miserable... Destroying beautiful things and exposing the wounds nakedly in broad daylight is a tragedy. One of the meanings is that this feeling often causes heartbreaking pain.
This is why tragedies tend to be more meaningful.
The tears in the corners of Xu Yuanshou’s eyes slowly dried up when he saw this.
He had jumped out of the plot and began to observe the ordinary people watching the show in the theater with a serious face.
At this time, the small theater has long become a sea of sadness.
Zhang Xianliang, who was watching the play together, said in Xu Yuanshou’s ear: “This is no less than an army.”
Xu Yuanshou said softly: “If I had treated Yun Zhao before, could I have done it? If you have a stable position and still have some doubts, after this thing comes out, the world should belong to Yun Zhao."
Zhang Xianliang looked at the drama that was almost unplayable by the public, and said again. Xu Yuanshou said: "This is a truly shocking method.
I heard that your disciples are planning to use this thing to destroy all the brothels, and come to settle those prostitutes by the way?"
Xu Yuanshou He wanted to laugh, but suddenly realized that this was not the occasion for laughter, so he whispered: "He is also your disciple."
Zhang Xianliang shook his head and said: "Boar spirit, such fantastic ideas are inhuman. "
Xu Yuanshou nodded and said: "He himself is.It was a wild boar spirit. From the first moment I saw him, I knew he was a stranger.
Since ancient times, people who have made great achievements have had visions. The ancients did not deceive me. "
When Zhang Xianliang saw the dancers on the stage being hit by people below the stage with fruits, pastries, plates, and chairs, he stood up and said, "Let's go, there is no such thing as this scene today. See the method. "
Xu Yuanshou also stood up and left with the other gentlemen.
Gu Hengbo stood on the outside of the stage, watching helplessly as his companions on the stage were beaten to death. To her surprise, she didn't feel angry, and she still had a smile on her face.
Kou Baimen, dressed in red, approached Gu Hengbo and said, "Sister, what should we do? There is no way this play can be performed. "
Gu Hengbo looked at the curvaceous Kou Baimen wrapped in red clothes, couldn't help but hugged her and said: "Silly woman, our sisters can finally leave prostitution cleanly. "
"How to say? ”
“Yun Zhao’s ability to win over the people of the world is unparalleled in the world. Compared with this "White-Haired Girl", the flowers of the Jiangnan scholars in front of and under the moon, the flowers in the jade tree and the backyard, and the grievances and hatreds of talented men and beauties. It seems so mean.
Don’t worry, Yun Zhao always does things carefully. If he wants to use us sisters to do things, he must first clear our identities as prostitutes.
Otherwise, letting a group of prostitutes show up to do such a thing will undermine the effectiveness of doing this.
We have seventeen sisters, there are seventeen Xier, there are seventeen gangs, this is already obvious.
We will not only perform in Chang'an, but also in Lantian and Guanzhong. We sisters will probably go all over Lantian and tell the story of "The White-Haired Girl" to everyone over and over again. People of the world.
The book given by Yun Zhao made it very clear. What he wanted to achieve was to let the people all over the world know that the old Ming Dynasty was full of corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, powerful landlords, and The rogue bandits have turned the people of the world into ghosts!
Only Lan Tian is the savior of the world, and only Lan Tian can turn ghosts into humans.
Under this general premise, aren’t we sisters also living a ghostly life?
I want to imitate this "White-Haired Girl" and write a play. "
Kou Baimen exclaimed: "Sister also wants to write a play? "
Gu Hengbo smiled and said: "I can still do it without using fancy words and using words that can be understood by the common people. "
"What do you want to write, sister? "
""Du Shiniang"! "
"Huh? Wu Xia San and Feng Zhong's "Warning Words" by Feng Menglong? No, sister, if you do this, you will get into big trouble.
Gu Hengbo pinched Kou Baimen’s pretty face and said, “Do you think Yun Zhao cares about the Feng family in Wuxia?” "
Kou Baimen shook his head and said: "No. ”
Gu Hengbo laughed loudly and said: “I not only want to write, but I also want to revise, even if it is to reviseFeng Menglong could only hold his nose and admit it. Sister, don’t think that our sisters are still the kind of prostitutes who can be bullied and ravaged before.
With Lantian as our backer, no one can do anything to us! ”
After Gu Hengbo finished speaking, he made a grand chest-expanding movement, as if he had broken free of all the shackles tied to his body in an instant.
Kou Baimen watched. The sad theatergoers left reluctantly, with a sense of confidence they had never seen before.
"The White-Haired Girl" had to stop after only half a show, and was disappointed. , plates, chairs and other things were smashed to the head, and the female steward of Mingyue Tower angrily told the stewards of Mingyue Tower.
From now on, the chairs in the Mingyue Tower theater will be fixed and hot towels will no longer be provided. , fruits, cakes, and plates are not allowed. Guests are not allowed to bring weapons. Judging from today's scene, if someone comes in with crossbows, muskets, grenades, etc.
Performance. Mu Renzhi and Huang Shiren's sisters had no chance of survival.
The play only lasted for half a show—the names Huang Shiren, Mu Renzhi, Xi'er, and Yang Bailao were already famous in Guanzhong. .
Soon there were many mean guys named Huang Shiren and Mu Renzhi, and once people named these two names, they would basically become rats crossing the street.
Qian Duoduo is Huang Shiren!
This is what Yun Niang said!
Yun Chun and Yun Hua share the name Mu Renzhi! >
This is what Yun Niang said.
Ever since watching the complete "White-Haired Girl", Yun Niang has disliked everyone. For many years, Yun Niang has basically not cried. One scene almost made Yun Niang’s eyes go blind from tears.
“I won’t watch that scene again. I’ll be heartbroken for days after watching it. What do you think? daughter in law? "
When Yun Niang was having dinner with her two grandsons, she seemed to want to go to the theater again.
Qian Duoduo pouted and said, "Your wife has turned into Huang Shiren. I'm not in the mood to watch a show.
Yun Niang smiled and said: "Of all the people in this yard, you are the most like Huang Shiren. Just look at the way you treat those merchants. You want to peel off their skins."
Yunchun, Yunhua is your two henchmen, could it be that you made a mistake? "
"I didn't steal someone else's daughter! ”
“But you are robbing someone else’s goods, what is the difference between this and robbing a girl.” "
When Qian Duoduo heard what Yun Niang said, his eyebrows stood up, and he quickly said: "That's because people are bullying our family and seeking profits from their capital. They think our family doesn't care about the three melons and two melons." Those who have dates will work together to deceive the family.
None of those merchants are good, and they all want to take advantage of our family. If this limelight is not stopped, bigger things will happen in the future if we become bolder. When Azhao comes forward to solve the problem, , someone is about to lose his head. ”
Yunniang smiled and served her two grandsons after they finished their meal.He said a little embarrassedly: "How about we go to the theater again?"
Qian Duoduo shook his head and said: "No, it hurts my heart for a long time after watching it once, and my eyes can't stand it. You lost all your clothes last time." I'm so wet from crying that I shed tears because of my sadness. If there's something wrong with your body, I won't be able to explain it to you after Azhao comes back."
"I like the singing in that, you. Listen, my mother can sing a few lines...the north wind blows...the snowflakes flutter."
"Okay, okay, the one who came to Yushan City to sing today is Gu Hengbo. I heard that she is. She's not famous for her singing, but her dancing skills."
Yunniang said quickly: "Then let's go, the show will start after dark."
Money is enough. She said jealously: "When my daughter-in-law is free one day, she will also put on a red dress and play the role of Xi'er for you."
Yunniang slapped Qian Duoduo on the arm and said, "Jing Nonsense, is this something you can do?”
Qian Duoduo has long been used to Yun Niang’s double-standard attitude towards others.
Who should be best remembered for the name Huang Shiren?
Actually, it was Yun Niang... She was not only a harsh landowner's wife, but also a brutal bandit leader!
Yun Zhang, Yun Xian doesn’t like to watch this kind of thing as usual. Any martial arts scenes without somersaults in operas are unattractive to them.
Similarly, such operas are even less worth mentioning to Han Lingshan, Zhang Guozhu, Qian Shaoshao and others - they have seen more tragic things!
"Seventeen performance teams are far from enough. I don't suggest that they set off now. The theater troupe in Guanzhong has received instructions and they are all learning this play. In less than a month, we will be able to perform " The troupe of "The White-Haired Girl" will be no less than two hundred.
At that time, let them start from Lantian and perform all the way out, so as to achieve good results. ”
As soon as Zhang Guozhu finished speaking, Han Lingshan said: "Order those self-proclaimed romantic bastards in Yushan Academy to write some other plays. One play is too monotonous, and it would be best to have a few more variations.
What do you think?”
Qian Shaoshao raised his head and yelled angrily: “Get out!”
