The list given by White Horse Zongzheng is not long, only nine people, but everyone is quite large, and the worst is also a little famous - White Horse Zongzheng, as the abbot of a temple, is relatively respected, has a high social status, and makes "fox friends and dog friends" is quite good.

The next day, Chihara Rin took this group of people and set off with gifts, but unfortunately he visited the four on the list in a row one day, and he almost didn't gain anything - he was very busy at the end of the year, but these people received him well in the face of Hakuba Somasa, and also provided some "materials" according to his requirements, but unfortunately it was very interesting, but it was often a shining point in someone's life, and it was okay to make a short drama, but it was not possible to make a big river drama.

This is also normal, if this person really shines all the time, then he is a big celebrity in history, not at least a little famous, not even a person who helps write a book.

Maybe another detour......

Ning Zi didn't expect it to be so unpleasant, and said to Chihara Rin slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Chihara-kun, maybe this method is not suitable, not only did it not help, but it wasted your time." ”

Rin Chihara doesn't care, easy things generally don't get good grades, and trouble is normal. He has always been very good in this regard, and he can't say that he has never been discouraged, but he can usually adjust it quickly - the difficulties in the creative process are really nothing, and it is even more terrible to be scolded if he smashes it, and he can't do TV production without a big heart!

He smiled and said, "It's nothing, just sightseeing." ”

Kyoto is a traditional city with less than 1% of total industrial output, more than 2% of agriculture, and nearly 97% of the total service, and it accepts more than 50 million tourists a year. So, they ran around for a day, and they also played by the way.

There are no busy buildings and high-rise buildings like Tokyo, and there are quiet shrines and temples everywhere, as well as long stone steps, towering ancient trees, and occasionally you can see geisha passing by, and there are also long lines of monks wearing hats.

Moreover, the tourist-oriented city is very distinctive in terms of shopping, and it has caught up with the New Year's Festival, such as the merchants have basically launched a lucky bag activity - which is stuffed with a variety of different goods in the store, but the price of each bag is the same, it all depends on personal luck, and the lucky ones can get one or two discounts, and the bad ones are also eight or nine discounts, which is considered to be the year-end clearance of the shopping mall plus holiday promotions.

Konoe Hitomi and Aiko bought a lot of them, mainly Japanese sweets, snacks and the like, and Michiko bought a lot of small handicrafts, and now they are all carrying large bags and small bags in their hands - they are out to play, when Chihara Rin and Seiko went to look for materials together, Ningzi took them to shop nearby or visit shrines, museums, and even went to the small theater to watch a Kabuki, anyway, a few of their real "tourists" are not at a loss.

At the end of the day, there was no serious harvest, but it was good to be able to have fun, and the group of them went back to Hakuba's house, and Konoe Hitomi shouted "Look at the monkeys", took Aiko and Kirisha and ran away - they were going to soak in the hot springs and eat the snacks they bought today, and by the way, they also gave the monkeys a little.

Rin Chihara didn't have much interest in running to the mountainside to soak in the hot springs, he wasn't really a person who loved to enjoy, and he stayed in his room to sort out the materials he had collected today—it was useless, but he took the time to listen to it, and he sorted it out, and it might be useful in the future.

Ningzi and Shengzi stayed to help, and Michiko didn't go to play, and poured water and cut fruit next to her, very diligent but didn't talk much, Chihara Rin noticed it this time, looked at her carefully, and found that her little face was a little white - I thought she was unhappy before, so she had a little face, but now it seems to be worse.

Rin Chihara was a little unsure, and said distractedly: "Chihaya, are you feeling unwell?"

Mei Qianzi was stunned and smiled sweetly: "No, Master!"

"Is it really okay?" Rin Chihara must be concerned, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Nanbu Ryoko when he goes back - bring someone else's daughter out, how can he take care of it, even if Nanbu Ryoko doesn't dare to provoke him, he must be like this!

Ningzi also turned her head to look at Michiko, and reached out to test the temperature of her forehead. Mei Qianzi reacted very sensitively, and immediately shook her head and directly shook off Ningzi's hand, but immediately realized that something was wrong, and her smile was even sweeter: "It's really okay, Sister Ningzi." ”

Ning Zi smiled gently, his eyes narrowed into slits and didn't say anything, Chihara Rin hesitated for a moment, and directly reached out and put it on Mei Qianzi's forehead, and after a while, it seemed that there was no problem, so he smiled: "It's okay." ”

Maybe it's just that teenage girls have a lot of things on their minds, or are they about to reach puberty? When does puberty begin in general? Is it possible in middle school?

He thought about it for a moment and felt a little troublesome, and couldn't help but glance at the second holy son before the "new assistant", in fact, this is also quite troublesome, and he just found out - this honest man is too honest, he almost didn't say anything today, so he followed him for fear of any rudeness, and it seemed that he automatically entered the "apprentice" mode.

This Chihara Rin also didn't know whether it was good or bad, and theoretically he felt that the Holy Son should be counted as one of his little friends.

The Holy Son sat on his knees with a straight waist, his long black hair did not move at all, he copied very seriously, one stroke at a time as if he was practicing calligraphy, he gently pursed his lips and his expression was very serious, and at first glance he was a cold eldest lady - seriously, just in terms of appearance, she was more like the heir of a traditional big family than Ning Zi.

She quickly noticed Chihara's gaze, and suddenly her cold appearance shattered, and she asked with some trepidation, "Chihara-sensei, did I do something wrong?"

"No, you're doing a great job. Rin Chihara hurriedly smiled: "Just don't be so restrained, let's get along like before." ”

"Yes...... Yes, I see, Chihara-sensei. "Seiko is still very respectful, she has always wanted to learn from Chihara Rinto, and she knows that she is stupid, so she is very careful.

Rin Chihara smiled and nodded, and sighed in his stomach - it's okay, it's always good to be serious about work!

However, he still likes Konoe's big grinning personality, and the guy is bold enough to think of what to say, and working together is more to his liking.

............

There was no word all night, and the next day was December 31 of 97, which was the "Chinese New Year's Eve" that Motomo had reformed, and Rin Chihara continued to visit the remaining five on the list - all started, and it was always time to try to the end, not to mention that there was a nominal task to congratulate the New Year for Hakuba Somasa.

However, judging from yesterday's experience, it is difficult to say what will be gained, and it is estimated that this road will not work, or it may seek a "not very famous" historical figure to make a big river drama, which is a bit problematic in itself.

There is a certain possibility that I will have to overturn it again, but I can only say that creating this kind of thing, especially wanting to create a work that can satisfy you, is really a torment!

The screenwriter's line is really difficult, persuading people to study medicine and thundering and splitting, so persuading people to be screenwriters may not be so serious, but at least they should be divided into five horses - this line of work is "picking cakes on the road", sometimes you can't even find the road, let alone picking out a "cake" out of thin air.

They set off early in the morning and met with two "erudite and interesting" people in succession, the old face of Hakuba Somasa was good, and the other party was very cooperative, and asked Chihara Rin to recall the historical stories that he thought were interesting or wonderful, but the result was not much use. Subsequently, Rin Chihara simply let go of his heart and took these children's friends and girlfriends to a big meal - come out to play, eating is also one of the key points, at least it can account for three percent of the portion!

Of course, he is not familiar with Kyoto, so he only cares about the money, which is the way pointed out by Ning Zi. Kyoto here is the kaiseki pie, even the sushi restaurant is about to be crowded, too light, it's okay to eat a funny, in fact, it's not suitable for the taste of young people, she led this group of people to eat duck steamed buns.

She is still very fun by nature, and led the gang around to a small shop called "Eleven Duck House", and when she heard it, she thought it was a place to sell ducks, but it was mainly a place to sell ducks - it seems to be quite colorful, but real ducks, not that kind of club ducks.

Duck steamed buns are called steamed buns, but they are fried and then shelled and then steamed in a bowl with soup, but the dumplings made by mixing minced duck meat, fish meat, lily roots, etc., are soaked in the soup like a big white and fat steamed bun, which may be named for this.

The taste is very strong, salty and salty, and this shop also provides salt-roasted duck head, roast duck and other dishes, which are not very chewy or irritable when you bite into it, which is very suitable for the taste of Chihara Rin - he has been here for so long, and the only daily dish that he thinks has a suitable taste is ramen, and he can eat anything else, he is not a very particular person, but ......

It's too bland, it's boring, the Japanese chef, you let him put more salt and oil as if he was going to kill him, it's not that he doesn't care about the indiscriminate use of spices, he really dares to stuff anything into the dish, it's super annoying!

A group of them ate a mouthful of oil in this small shop, and Hitomi Konoe and Nishino Lingsha especially liked it, and they also bought "air-dried duck legs" to chew and play, and then set off under the leadership of Ningzi to find the third material provider today.

Konoe Hitomi was born in the sea, and she was the first wild girl, so she didn't care about the ladylike manners such as walking and not eating, and laughing and not showing her teeth, while tearing the duck leg hard, she asked with concern: "Sister Ningzi, Master is going to collect materials, what are we playing?"

Ningzi looked at the address on the envelope, thought for a while, and smiled: "We're going to Chitose-in, which is close to the center of the house, and there are museums and theaters...... There is a museum that seems interesting to take a look at, and there is a small theater that has only performed one play since it opened, and it is famous, so you may like it. ”

The pickled thing is pickles, and Konoe Hitomi is not interested at all, and he is not very interested in watching stage plays, but he asks curiously, "What is Chitose-in Temple, a temple?"

Ning Zi smiled and said, "No, it's the Jiano Theater." ”

"Noh drama!?" Konoe's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Then can't we go to watch Noh drama?"

She is a real soil bun, and she really hasn't seen Noh opera, but of course she has heard of it, and she feels that it is an elegant enjoyment - Noh opera originated from the hundred operas of the Tang Dynasty, and when it came here, it was originally called "ape music opera", which was similar to acrobatics, and then after nearly a thousand years of development and improvement, it became a traditional drama called the book, similar to the nature of Chinese Peking Opera.

Kabuki is a differentiation from Noh play, but Kabuki has a history of only more than 300 years, and it is only more popular in the Kanto Edo (Tokyo) area, and the audience is ordinary people, and Noh has been the exclusive use of ministers and nobles since the beginning, and the performers have been passed down from father to son, and there are not many people who can perform - the base camp of Noh is in Kyoto, and the ministers used to live here, and the actors who raised them are basically concentrated here, so you can only wait for the tour to change places, and it is difficult to find a serious Noh theater.

Konoe Hitomi is usually very interested in the things that she can brag about back in the village, and watching Noh dramas is that she can't enjoy elegant things in her small fishing village, so she wants to go, but Ningzi smiled helplessly: "You may not like it, but you can watch it once...... Aiko-chan, Kiri-sa-chan, and Michiko-chan, do you want to see it?"

Michiko doesn't care, she hasn't actually seen it, but she's not very curious. Both Kirisa and Aiko were curious, and immediately nodded and said, "I want to see it!"

Ning Zi was very talkative, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's watch Noh drama." ”

Rin Chihara smiled and said nothing, he hadn't seen it either, but he knew what it was, and he also knew what the effect was after watching it - the same effect as modern children listening to Peking Opera, he was not a ticket holder, and he probably wanted to run away after sitting for less than thirty minutes.

These people were looking for "suffering", but he didn't care, and he went all the way to Chitose Temple. Ningzi went to buy a ticket, but the best position was booked, and he only got the seat on the left rear side of the "suspension bridge", but Konoe Hitomi didn't understand these people and didn't care, and then Ningzi accompanied Chihara Rin and the holy son to find someone - Morikawa Meimori.

The staff said that Morikawa Meimori didn't have time, and the performance was busy recently, so he didn't accept visitors, but fortunately, the old face of Munemasa Hakuba was used on the ground in Kyoto, and after asking the staff to hand over the letter from Munemasa Hakuba, the staff took them directly to the backstage.

At this time, he was preparing to open, and there was a chaos in the background, and when Chihara Rin and others entered Morikawa Meimori's lounge, Morikawa Meimori was wearing a wig and changing clothes with the help of others, but he didn't wear makeup - Noh performances are without makeup, Kabuki only needs them, so if you look at who has the whitest face on stage, you can know who is more important in the play and has a higher status.

Because the requirement of Noh drama is that the costumes should be super cumbersome and gorgeous, he couldn't stand still, so he could only tilt his head slightly to express his welcome: "Chihara-sensei, I've admired the name for a long time, welcome to Chitose Temple, it's really rude to not be able to welcome you from afar, please don't mind." ”

"Where, it's our presumptuousness, it's really a lot of disturbance, please forgive me. Chihara Rin replied with a smile, this is all general polite words, both of them are not involved in work and socialization, Morikawa Meishou is not an ordinary person, the so-called "long-admired daimyo" is estimated to have heard the name of Chihara Rinren, and Chihara Rin didn't even know that there was a person Morikawa Plum Shou before this - interlaced like a mountain!

The two sides knew each other politely, after all, there was a White Horse Sect in the middle of the introduction, and White Horse Ningzi smiled and gave a souvenir: "Morikawa, father asked us to wish you a happy New Year on his behalf." ”

There are not many audiences of Noh actors, but they are considered artists themselves, and Morikawa Meimori is old enough, so Ningzi uses the title "like". These people have been passed down from generation to generation, most of them have ancient official positions, there is a kind of aristocracy in the drama world, and most people will be honorific, and Morikawa Meishou glanced at Ning Zi and said with a smile: "Is Ling Zun okay? I haven't had tea with him for a long time." ”

"He's all right, and you care. ”

"It's so gratifying to hear that, and I hope to see him in the future. ”

"Yes, I will convey your good intentions to my father. ”

Ning Zi coped very decently, and when he got here, the polite process was over. Morikawa Meishou couldn't move himself, but he invited them to sit down, and then let someone serve tea, and then he got down to business: "I already know the intention of Chihara-sensei's intention, is it planning to collect creative materials for Taiga drama?"

"Yes, Mr. Hakuba recommends you, thinking you may know some interesting historical figures and anecdotes. Rin Chihara also got to the point, "Can you tell me the most impressive or interesting story?"

He was like an interview, and before the second one, Seiko quickly took out the record book and began to help record the main points, to be a good assistant, and Morikawa Meimori groaned: "Has Chihara-sensei been to Okuru?

"Sorry, no. ”

"Ryohime is a person from the Warring States Period, and is known in Okulu as 'Treasure of Okuru' and 'Okuru's No. 1 Mihime'. Morikawa Meimori smiled as he finished dressing, "Also known as ...... Woe to Mihime!"

"Oh, can you elaborate on that?" Rin Chihara became interested.

"Of course, I also heard it from a senior when I was very young, and I was very impressed, and I went to the Olympians to verify that there is indeed this person, and his life is very exciting, of course it doesn't matter if you want to listen, but I have to finish the performance first, can you wait a while?"

Rin Chihara was a little helpless, but there was no way, this was someone else's job, so he could only smile and say, "Yes, I look forward to your wonderful performance." ”

Morikawa Meimori was already dressed, smiled and didn't say anything, his face became solemn, and he personally took out a wooden box, and when he opened it, there were rows of masks inside-Noh script acting as the protagonist must wear a mask to act, and the mask has a special status, and the Noh actor will ask others to help with the dress, but never let others help wear the mask, and even usually take it out for others to see.

He carefully took out a mask and whispered to the mask, "I'm going to play you!"

After finishing speaking, he put on the mask with his own hands, turned his head and said to Chihara Rinto: "The master is sluggish, please don't mind, you can watch the performance backstage." Then he left the break room with the group and went to the stage.

Chihara Rin raised his eyebrows, the tone and tone of his voice and tone of voice changed when he wore a mask, but he didn't care, he followed behind with Ningzi and Shengzi, and his mind was mostly on "Ryohime".

It's a bit interesting, I hope it won't disappoint!
