Chapter 033: Uncovering Pei Xiaoque's Background
Pei Yue beckoned to Su Ran with a smile on her face, signaling her to hurry up and sit down, at this time Pei Yuncang was about to finish the round, Su Ran didn't dare to be stunned anymore, and rushed to the audience area, and the two sides simply greeted each other and sat down.
"Miss Su, the first performance of "Spring and Autumn Dream" today, the preparation was hasty, and the band is not complete, so you can bear more. Pei Yue's voice was a little apologetic.
"Dream of Spring and Autumn" is a ghost drama written by Pei Pai, which is based on "Du Lanxiang and Zhang Chuan", "Xianchao and the Goddess", "Ziyu Hanzhong" and "Dream of the Spirit Emperor" in "Sou Shen Ji", which belongs to the repertoire of secondary creation.
"Spring and Autumn Dream" tells the story of the goddess Du Lanxiang and the mortal Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang is honest and virtuous, and should be appointed by heaven as the emperor of the mortal world, the goddess Du Lanxiang was ordered to go down to help Zhang Lang, marry Zhang Lang's wife, give birth to children for him, put on armor and go into battle, kill adultery and eliminate evil, and assist Zhang Lang to ascend the throne of God!
However, after Zhang Lang sat on the throne, he separated from Du Lanxiang, not only recruited beauties, but also believed in Taoist priests, killed Du Lanxiang, took away her merits, sought a god position for himself, and proclaimed himself the Spirit Emperor!
After Du Lanxiang died, he returned to Heaven to complain to the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor was furious and allowed Du Lanxiang, who only had a soul body, to enter the Dream of the Spirit Emperor to take revenge.
Du Lanxiang killed him in the dream of the Spirit Emperor, regained his merits, returned to his own body, and replaced the Spirit Emperor as a generation of empresses!
The first scene of "Spring and Autumn Dream" is when Du Lanxiang is killed, so he cries out at the beginning.
"Whoa......
After Pei Yuncang finished the round, he opened the Spring and Autumn Fan, revealing to the audience the side with a white mandala flower, which matched the identity of the goddess of Dulan Xiang.
"Mother is in Lingyue, and she travels in the clouds.
The maids Yuyi did not go out of the palace.
The floating wheel sent me, and I was not ashamed of the dust.
From me and the blessing, I will be with the disaster!"
This paragraph is a rhythmic "rhyme white", taken from the original text in "Du Xianglan and Zhang Biography", the first three sentences name the identity of the goddess in the play, the tone is cold and arrogant, the latter sentence is for Zhang Lang to hear, the threat is angered, Pei Yuncang read it out in a rhythmic and musical way, the mood is in place between the tone and frustration, pleasant and expressive!
Su Ran couldn't help but shout!
Pei Xiaoque heard it and muttered in a low voice: "It's too late to scream this meeting." β
Su Ran was ashamed, indeed, it should have been Pei Yuancang who shouted when she appeared, but she, a person from another world, was very weak about ghosts and gods, and when she entered the door, she was confused by the scene in front of her, and she couldn't tell it at all!
"Bellβ"
When the gong sounded, Pei Yuncang turned his wrist and played with the fan, and after showing some fan skills, he turned the side painted with Manzhu Sawa to the audience, declaring his ghost identity, and began to angrily reprimand Zhang Lang for his unkindness and wolf-heartedness!
This paragraph belongs to the flowing water allegro, Pei Yuncang showed Du Xianglan's infatuated help before his death and his resentment after death to be extremely in place, bringing Su Ran into the play, and wanted to scold Zhang Lang with Pei Yuncang!
"Resentmentβmy Emperor!"
At the end of this sentence, the word "resentment" has a low voice, the word "ah" is suddenly raised, extremely poignant, and the last four words shout that the emperor who sent Du Xianglan down to earth, with grievances and grievances, people can't help but want to make a handful of bitter tears for Du Lan Xiang!
This is the Pei Pai ghost show!
It can drive the audience's emotions anytime and anywhere, and make the audience cry for the people in the play and be angry for the people in the play!
"Okay!
Su Ran stood up and applauded Pei Yuncang, and all the audience applauded Pei Yuncang!
Pei Yuncang elegantly put away the Spring and Autumn Fan, saluted the audience, and stepped on the Pei faction's ghost steps to leave, so that Su Ran shouted that he had eyes!
"Does Miss Su still like it?" Pei Yue asked a little nervously.
Pei Pai's ghost show has not been performed in front of outsiders for more than ten years, this time the performance started in a hurry, the preparation was not sufficient, the band was not complete, there were not only wrong boards in the middle, but Jinghu's tone was not good enough, in Pei Yue's opinion, it was simply a performance that could be scored negatively, and she even began to regret not listening to Pei Yuncang, not the band, just singing a cappella!
"I like it!" Su Ran replied without thinking.
Pei Yue was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
"Really, it's even more exciting than I thought!"
Pei Yue still couldn't believe it.
Su Ran knew that Pei Yue was harsh in singing, and seeing Pei Yue like this, there must be something imperfect in Fang Cai's scene.
Su Ran continued: "You have prepared so many props, you must have been busy late last night, right? And Ah Cang, it will take a long time to put on makeup and change clothes, right? Did he get up before dawn to prepare? I knew that it would be such a grand scene, I really shouldn't have set the time this morning and let you stay up late to work." β
"Miss Su helped us find our great-grandfather's Spring and Autumn Fan, which deserves to be treated so ceremoniously. It's a pity that it's still in a hurry, next time, when Pei Pai's ghost show has the opportunity to sing the whole book on stage, I will definitely invite Miss Su to sit in the front row!" Pei Yue promised Su Ran very solemnly.
"Okay, I'll be there!" Su Ran said and looked at the direction of Pei Yuncang's exit, and asked, "When will Ah Cang come out?"
"He has to play before he can get out of the house. β
Su Ran knew that Pei Yuncang would play silently at the beginning of every scene, he was as serious about singing as Pei Yue, so there were imperfections, Pei Yuncang must be reviewing the whole scene now, finding something that could be improved, and avoiding the same mistake next time.
Su Ran thought for a while and asked, "Can I talk to you alone?"
"Is that what you said yesterday?" asked Pei Yue.
Su Ran nodded, and glanced at Pei Xiaoque, who was cleaning up the yard with the children, and looked at Pei Xiaoque inexplicably and uneasy.
"Please follow me. Pei Yue took Su Ran out of the lively second courtyard and went to the vegetable shed in the first courtyard.
Su Ran went straight to the point and said without concealment: "When I inquired about the news a few days ago, I asked where Pei Xiaoque's biological parents were, do you want to send her home?"
Pei Yue frowned, she never expected that Su Ran was going to say about this matter, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Su Ran continued to be more detailed: "Pei Xiaoque's father is called Han Qi, and his mother is called Wang Qing, Pei Xiaoque's family was very poor when she was born, and her grandmother was patriarchal, forcing Pei Xiaoque's father to lose her. Now the Han family is in business, and has opened several factories in Shunyi and Changping, and the economic conditions are very superior, and Pei Xiaoque also has two younger brothers. β
Pei Yue twisted her eyebrows and said: "I haven't seen the Han family looking for Xiao Que for so many years, it can be seen that they are still patriarchal, even if their family conditions have improved now, Xiao Que may not be able to enjoy preferential treatment when he returns home." β
"Pei Xiaoque's grandmother died eight years ago, and now the Han family is in charge of Pei Xiaoque's mother Wang Qing, they don't look for Pei Xiaoque, they probably didn't expect Pei Xiaoque to be alive. β
"It's also ......" Pei Yue recalled the past and whispered, "Xiao Que was born in December, her family left her on a frozen river, and it was a kind mother-in-law who was passing by who heard her cry and found her.
My mother-in-law didn't know where to send her, so she took her to the Immeasurable Temple, and that day I happened to take Ah Cang to the Immeasurable Temple to pray for blessings, and Ah Cang liked her very much, so he took her home and raised her. β
When Pei Yue said this, her eyes gradually turned red, and she gestured with her hand and said: "Xiao Que just cut the umbilical cord at that time, she was only so big, thin and small, not yet five pounds, I was afraid that I would not be able to support her, so I went out every day to borrow breast milk for her to drink, and in a blink of an eye, she was a big girl." β
"She has followed you all these years without suffering. Su Ran comforted Pei Yue and said.
"There are many children in the yard, and she doesn't enjoy any blessings. β
"What about you...... Will you tell her about her biological parents?" asked Su Ran tentatively.
Pei Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I will tell Xiao Que and let her make her own choice." β
Su Ran immediately showed a comfortable smile.
......
Su Ran didn't wait for Pei Yuncang to play, nor did she have lunch in the courtyard of Pei's house, she was afraid that she would show her stuff because she couldn't suppress her joy!
Su Ran found a restaurant for lunch and went to Shichahai in advance, Fang Lan's photographer's residence was easy to find, and it was separated from Prince Gong's mansion by three courtyards.
Fang Lan is worthy of being Song Hui's old buddy, the layout of the house is almost the same as Song Hui's house, and it is also divided into two studios, and even the storage in the clothing room is almost the same!
Su Ran arrived early, the stylist hadn't arrived yet, Su Ran showed that he could do makeup, and he didn't need to wait for the stylist to arrive.
Fang Lan was very relieved of Song Hui's recommendation, and he didn't take the school exam for Su Ran, so he directly timed Su Ran in advance, yes, Su Ran finished his work an hour earlier than other models.
At this time, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Ran made a call to Zhen Zhihua in the phone booth in Shichahai.
Zhen Zhihua didn't have a phone at home, and Su Ran had to wait for the other party to call Zhen Zhihua to answer, and the process took 20 minutes.
On the phone, Zhen Zhihua said very apologetically: "Xiao Su has kept you waiting for a long time, I just finished the afternoon shooting and sent all the models away." β
"I didn't think it through, I didn't think about it. β
Simply polite, Su Ran asked, "Teacher Zhen, when do you have time to shoot the set you said last time?"
"I'll be free the morning after tomorrow, how about you?"
"I'm free, so that's it?"
"Okay!" Zhen Zhihua then said, "I have washed out and voted out the wall calendar we took last time, and only two publishing houses have given a reply, you have selected 5, and I will tell you when other publishing houses and calendar manufacturers have all replied." β
Su Ran didn't expect Zhen Zhihua to be very fast, but when he thought about his extreme lack of money, he understood why he was so fast.
Su Ran asked, "How many votes have you cast in total?"
"Yours has 47 tickets and voted 23 places. β
Su Ran is confident in her films, and this number is within her expected range, but she didn't expect Zhen Zhihua's connections to be quite wide, and she has invested in so many publishing houses and calendar manufacturers.
"I await your good news. β
After hanging up the phone, Su Ran entered a shopping mall near Shichahai, and used the newly earned money to buy some cosmetics with safe ingredients that do not hurt the skin, and then took a ride home.
The swaying bus was very sleep-inducing, and everyone else on the bus was shaken out of sleepiness, and Su Ran also closed her eyes, but her mind was full of "Du Lanxiang".
pride, anger, grievance, unwillingness, grievance......
"Boss Cang's stunning, the original book is honest and doesn't deceive me!" Su Ran muttered.
"Didi-"
The driver honked his horn in front: "Little girl, what are you muttering? Songzhuang has arrived, can't you get off?"
"Huh?"
Su Ran glanced out the car window, wasn't it Songzhuang?
The boring drive on weekdays, today because she only cares about recalling the wonderful "Spring and Autumn Dream" in the morning, it passed all of a sudden!
Su Ran hurriedly got out of the car with his bag and went straight to Lao Litou's commissary.
When Lao Li saw her, he shouted: "Oh, Xiao Ran is back, go home and take a look, your parents are fighting!"
