Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Fourth "Qin Qiong Selling Horses" and "Jie Wa"(1/2)
Dongcheng, Yunqing Banyuan
The winter is short and the night is long. Just after the first minute of You, the sky is getting darker. Yan Changge and Ma Le agreed on the conditions, so he slowly walked into the Yunqing Banyuan with four big guards.
Although this Yunqing class sealed ticket is said to be a hundred people and it is hard to exchange for a thousand dollars, it is also a matter of who wants it.
As the eldest prince of the current emperor and Yan Changge, who is also very likely to become the prince in the future, wanted a few small Yunqing class sealed tickets, which was like taking a piece of food. Some of them were kneeling and delivered to him.
Not to mention bringing four guards, Yan Changge even took the whole audience, Mei Fang and others had to give him such face.
In a feudal dynasty, imperial power is more than anything else...
………
However, Ma Le did not understand the above sentence deeply. He had important ministers, princesses, uncles of the emperor, and grandmother of the empress dowager. It can be said that when facing imperial power, he was even more calm than ordinary princes.
Therefore, after "discussing" with Yan Changge how to deal with his parents, Master Ma, who had relieved his worries, was completely happy. As soon as he entered the gate of Yunqing Banyuan, he was running up and down like a fat pug that had just returned home, flipping around and touching around, not to mention that he was so disgusting.
It's okay just this, but the key is that this guy has finished picking and picking up his hand. When he returned to his seat, he actually called Yan Changge to pour tea for himself. His tone was not much worse than what he said at home to let the servants work.
Well, with Ma Le's intelligence on weekdays, it is obvious that this time he is deliberately looking for trouble, and he wants to find some things with his previous defeat.
But Ma Le forgot that Yan Changge is not the second prince Yan Changsong, and the fourth prince Yan Changning, the unlucky brothers, were beaten up by him and could not take revenge.
Yan Changge was trained by Yan Yi as his heir since he was a child. Although he is still young this year, he has certain abilities and means. This is praised by even Ma Jin. If Ma Le wants to challenge him, he still has to be very good at it, not to mention that he is still in the hands of Yan Chang singer...
………
Sure enough, in the face of Ma Le's "provocation", Yan Changge did not show any anger, but just called the guards on the side and explained with a smile.
"You go to the princess's mansion and tell me that cousin Ma Le is now listening to operas in Yunqing squad with me, so that they can't just see the slate and not see anyone, and they are worried."
"Yes, Palace... Young Master."
The guard didn't say much, nodded, turned around and was about to leave to report the news. When he moved, Ma Leke next to him became anxious. His arrogant look disappeared instantly. The fat face showed a slight flattery. He raised the fat arm and picked up the teapot to replenish the teacup beside Yan Changge.
"Cousin, be thirsty, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Yan Changge looked up at Ma Le. Seeing his obedient brother, he shook his head with a laugh, waved his hand and asked the guard to return to his original place first, then turned to look at Ma Le, who breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the guard had not left to report the news, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't make trouble later, watch the show."
As the saying goes, tofu is used to remove everything from the brine. It is not afraid of the world. Ma Le, who is extremely brave, was cured by Yan Changge for two words because he took care of Ma Jin and his wife. He was also taught a lesson by him.
Master Ma has never suffered such a big loss except in front of his parents.
If he had been following his usual temper, he would have rolled up his sleeves and swung his fists long ago. However, the situation is now pressing, so he had to temporarily bow his head with Yan Changge to try his best to have fun.
Well, there is another reason why Ma Le chose not to do it, that is, Master Ma felt that he had small arms and legs, so it was natural that he could beat Yan Changge, but he was probably a little uneasy when facing the four tall and big inner guards under his command.
……… Or it’s not a bit overwhelming, it’s impossible to beat…
………
Under power, Ma Le calmed down and Yan Changge had a few more quiet days. However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, Master Ma began to unable to suppress his "live" temperament and frequently asked Yan Changge questions.
If it is normal for Ma Le to ask questions, Yan Changge is not unable to be the close brother and solve his cousin's questions, but the problem is that this guy is asking some questions that are not irrelevant, which makes him really not sure where to start.
For example, Ma Le actually asked him who was better at fighting the lion dogs raised by Concubine Ru and Concubine Ya in the palace?
How could he know how to go by himself!
He either studied in the Eastern Palace all day long or went to the imperial study room to wait for his father's guidance. He would go to his mother's harem to sit in his harem when he had free time, and had no time to inquire about Rufei Yafei.
What's more, he has some contact with Ru and Ya. He probably also focuses on the people and things. How could he pay attention to the two lion dogs? Let's compare who is fighting?
In just half a stick of incense, Yan Changge was troubled by Ma Le's various strange and strange problems, and he almost got up and left. Fortunately, at this time, the official start of the Yunqing class's sealed performance. Ma Le's attention was suddenly transferred to the stage, which greatly made Yan Changge breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, His Highness the eldest prince calmed down again, and like Ma Le, he turned his gaze and attention to the stage.
………
On stage.
The Yunqing class's box-sealing performance did not have any fancy processes. First, Mei Fang and Zhu Yunfeng, the big boss of the opera troupe, went on stage and said a few words, briefly summarizing the Yunqing class in the first year of Taikang, and imagined the better life next year.
After the chicken soup was poured, the two of them also paid homage to the audience on stage on behalf of everyone in the Yunqing class, and then hurried down. Following the sound of a gong, the box-sealing performance officially began tonight.
First of all, the first show, "Qin Qiong Sells Horses".
The prototype of this drama "Qin Qiong Sells Horses" is taken from the plot of Qin Shubao's invasion in "Sui and Tang Dynasties" by Ma Jin. Later, after the screenwriter adapted the playbook, Yun Qingban and others wrote the song and put lyrics on it, and it was repeatedly refined. It is a specialty show that drama fans welcomed.
The original play was a long time. From the appearance of Qin Shubao to the end of his separation from Shan Xiongxiong, the whole book was about two hours short of singing, so this box-closed performance was just a short excerpt, and it was also one of the explosion points of the entire play.
A penny stumped the hero. Because he had no money to live in a hotel, Qin Qiong was helpless in the face of the inn shopkeepers who kept pressuring debts. First, he became his two maces, but the money was still not enough, so he had to drag his sick body to the market to sell his beloved Huang Pima.
On the way to the horse market, Qin Qiong told his yellow horse that he had only one skill, but he had no way to serve the country. Now he was forced to sell his mount to pay off his debts by mere silver and money. It was really sad and lamentable.
Because this monologue of Qin Qiong is a long singing style, and the lyrics are exquisite. When you listen carefully, you feel a sense of sadness and choking in heroes, which makes people feel regretful.
Therefore, this scene has always been the climax of "Qin Qiong Selling Horses". In addition, Chen Yu, who plays Qin Qiong, is the martial artist who is now ranked No. 1 in Beijing. He added three points to this scene, otherwise he would not have been moved to the box-sealed performance by Yun Qingban, and he specially asked him to be the opening.
………
"Oh, a hero sells a horse, I, Uncle Qin, is really ashamed~~~"
The gongs and drums were singing loudly, and in just two incense sticks flashed by. "Qin Shubao" on the stage used several postures one after another, then closed his opera and stepped down from the stage.
The audience who knew the story behind the stage understood that this paragraph was finished, so they took the lead in applause. The rest of the people also roughly understood the reason. The applause was thunderous. A moment later, several actors who performed "Qin Qiong Selling Horses" returned to the stage with their makeup and bowed to the audience below to show their hand.
After this, the atmosphere in Yunqing's garden was obviously much more active and enthusiastic, and the purpose of the opening performance was also achieved.
So, the next play "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", also called "Longzhong Pair". The general plot is about Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang talking about the princes and proposed a three-point plan. During this period, except for a few simple sentences, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and a book boy who have always been the background board, most of the other lines and singing were completed by Liu Bei and Zhuge.
The actors who played both of them were both called "The Best" in Beijing. They are very powerful. In addition, "Three Kingdoms" has a wide audience and many fans, so after singing this episode of "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", the audience in the audience also applauded and applauded thunderously.
………
After two scenes, it was rare that the stage did not continue to replace the person directly, but instead came up with a beautiful and smiling girl.
An old audience familiar with Yunqing's class knew that this was Boss Mei's junior sister Lin Zhi. She originally played Xiaoqing with Mei Fang in "The Legend of White Snake". Later, after she got married, she might not go on stage to perform for her reputation and family reasons. She occasionally performed it as a guest stage play. Most of the time, her position was the host of Yunqing's class's report.
As expected, Linzhi started working as an emcee as soon as she came on stage. She first said some clichés about the previous two plays, interacted with the audience in the audience, set off the already lively atmosphere for a while, and then announced it neatly.
"The next program, crosstalk "Revealing the Watt", performers Guo Tong and Yan Qian."
After Lin Zhi finished speaking, he stepped down, and Guo Tong and Yan Qian, who had been waiting in the backstage, listened to her words, shook off a black-patterned coat and walked to the stage with a smile.
………
"good!"
"Smack it..."
If you talk about Guo Tong's popularity among the audience now, it's really not a big deal. He just chases Boss Mei Fangmei, and even has a vague trend of running side by side.
As soon as he and Yan Qian appeared on the stage, the audience applauded, nearly twice as loud as the previous two scenes. Some people were so excited that they even made their hands red, but they had no feeling at all. They looked at the little black fat man on the stage with a fanatical look and shouted loudly.
His frenzy posture made Ma Le, who had seen such a scene for the first time in the audience, was secretly shocked, and his eyes were full of incredible.
The second senior brother who was kicked by his father every day actually had such a glorious side. Just as he showed up, he could make people so popular. Ma Le felt that he should re-estimate this second senior brother...
…………
Ma Le was shocked by Guo Tong's popularity, and Yan Changge's side was much better. After all, he was also half a drama fan. From time to time, he would come over to listen to two passages when he had time. Sometimes he would catch up with Mei Fang's performance. The scene was even more lively than it is now.
Therefore, Yan Changge was not surprised by this. He just felt a little moved by the identity of Guo Tong as a disciple of Ma Jin.
After all, as Ma Jin's identity, I won't... a few storytellers are just...
Yan Changge, who has received the royal elite education, really doesn't know how to evaluate his uncle's behavior, whether it is a waste of time and energy; or whether it is a world of embrace all rivers and has no distinction between education.
He couldn't find the answer if it was a criticism or a praise.
………
Aside from Ma Le, Yan Changge's psychological fluctuations, Guo Tong and Yan Qian on the stage also began to make crosstalk after the audience gradually stopped applause.
"First of all. Thank you for your warm applause. Guo Tong is really frightened and very grateful."
In the first sentence, Guo Tong solemnly thanked the audience in the same audience, and Yan Qian next to him was the same, and the audience in the audience also gave warm responses.
After he stopped, Guo Tong said with a smile on his face: "I am very honored to be able to stand on this stage today and participate in the Yunqing Class's sealed performance."
"yes."
"There are some of the people here who know me, but they don't know me."
"right."
“Introduce yourself.”
"Tell me."
"My name is Guo Tong, and my stage name is Guo Degang, and I am a crosstalk artist."
"oh."
"And the one around me is amazing. He is a true descendant of the royal family and the founding eight branches of the kingdom. He is the direct lineage of the King of Meng Hai."
"Hi, low-key, low-key."
Yan Qian said he was low-key, but his face looked like he was humble and proud, which made the audience burst into laughter.
