Chapter Thirty-Seven: Drama is Like Life
Xiang floated in and out of Meng's house, he knew the fifth lady Meng Siyi, and he mainly entertained in the front yard of Xiaofeng Building on weekdays, Meng Siyi used to be a frequent visitor, so he was naturally more familiar.
Although she is familiar, she has seen most of them under the stage in the front yard, but she is incomprehensible when she is here today.
Thinking about it, his sleeves tightened, it was Meng Siye who pulled him, he walked two steps with her, and in no one's place, he heard Meng Siyi whisper: "Brother Xiangjia, I'...... Don't say it. ”
Xiang Fuben didn't plan to say it, but he was curious at the moment, and couldn't help asking: "Fifth Miss, you want to learn drama, does the Meng family agree?"
"They don't know, that's why you can't say it. ”
Xiang Fu thought to himself: "You always have to go on stage, I can recognize it, can't the Meng family recognize it?"
Meng Si also expected this a long time ago, and said to him: "I pretend to be a flower face just to not be recognized, this face is not finished, and if I really go on stage, I will draw it unrecognizable." ”
"Then what are you trying to do?" Xiang Fu didn't understand, she was a little girl who pretended to be a clean horn, the reason was to make people unrecognizable, not to really like this business, then, since she didn't want people to know, she didn't want to come for fame and fortune.
It's not for love, not for fame and fortune, what is the purpose of her tossing?
pondering, seeing that her eyes kept drifting towards Xiao Qin as she spoke, she immediately understood.
She wants to "get the moon first near the water" and create an opportunity to contact Xiao Qin.
Originally, Meng Si also told him not to say it, he should have agreed, but remembering that she was still a little girl, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it was the time when the love was first opened, and Boss Xiao was a person who was used to seeing Fengyue Field, in case she was deceived, it would not be good.
In other words, even if Xiao Qin is a good person, Ah Tang also has a mind about Si, these three people are in the same garden, and I don't know what kind of farce there will be in the future.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Fu decided to inform Siqing, at least it would be easier for their sisters to talk to each other.
Siqing was also very shocked when she heard this, not that it was a vague emotional matter, but with her understanding, the Meng family would never agree to her doing this kind of business.
She didn't know Meng Si well, so she didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Xiang Fu was blindly worried because Ah Tang was also among them, so she thought about it and had to go to Xiaofeng Tower.
Xiaofenglou is the time of opening at this time, and the front of the stage, whether it is an elegant seat or an ordinary position, is full of people, all looking forward to the square stage.
Siqing looked at the bottom for a while, and saw that the stage had four corners, each with a column, the front two hung red couplets, and a pair of embroidered curtains were erected in the center of the stage, which should be used to separate the front and back of the stage.
Xiang Fu said to her: "This is the hall curtain, in fact, it is what they often call old-fashioned, here, the old-fashioned pattern of each corner is different, and the one hanging now is called 'Golden Jade Liangyuan', which is Xiao Qinxiao's boss, and he is about to appear." ”
As soon as the old-fashioned formula of this "golden and jade relationship" was hung up, the audience immediately cheered, and the people had already applauded before they appeared, Siqing decided to stay here for a while, and wait for Boss Xiao to appear, so as to have a glimpse of his demeanor.
While waiting, she looked to both sides again, but saw that there was a door on each side of the old guard, and the door curtain was hung, and the words were written on the door curtain, with "out of the general" on the left and "into the phase" on the right.
She asked Xiang Fu secretly: "Where did the people come from?"
Xiang Fu said, "Come out from the left." ”
It's the direction of "out of the general", she thought, then the "phase" on the right must be the direction of the end.
Looking at the stage again, there was only a table and a chair, all covered with red curtains, and nothing else.
She was curious again: "What can this table and chair perform?"
"There can only be tables and chairs on the stage, and all the other scenes that are needed are interpreted by the horns themselves with their body movements. Xiang Fu replied.
"How can you deduce that?"
"They're very good, they're so good, you'll see it later...... Listen, the introduction sounds, and the meeting will come up. ”
She looked in the direction of Xiang Fu's finger, and next to the door of the next stage, a group of accompanists were playing music, and Xiang Fu told her that this introduction was the melody to be played before the horn came on the field, and it was divided into martial arts and literary fields according to the guy who played.
The martial arts field is mainly a large gong, a small gong, a single skin drum, a few people are playing the rhythm at the moment, and the literary field is the flute, huqin, three strings, etc., and the martial arts field cooperates.
Siqing has read the book and knows that what she is singing today is "Yutang Chun", and Xiao Qin plays Wang Jinlong, who overturned the case for Su San.
At this time, a drum fell, and the noisy cheers from the audience came to an abrupt end.
But seeing that the curtain of the "general" was slowly lifted, a person wearing a black veil and a robe belt walked out slowly.
An arched top bore red set off the handsome face with a little more fortitude, and I saw the famous Boss Xiao raise his hands lightly and make the whole crown action, which was beautiful and elegant, which was amazing.
After the whole crown, I saw him holding a robe in one hand, holding a virtual handrail in the other, raising his feet and stepping, acting the act of going upstairs on the flat ground, that form, if there was no cover in front of him, so that people could see that his feet were flat, but I was afraid that he really thought that there was a staircase step by step.
"This should be the interpretation of the scene with the body. Siqing remembered Xiang Fu's words just now, and sighed: "It's really amazing!"
In admiration, I saw that Xiao Qin had already come upstairs.
First of all, it is read white, it is rhyme, listen to about a few hundred words, the voice is clear, in one go, to the back, the more you read it faster, the tone is getting higher and higher, and the rhythm of the gongs and drums is matched, only so that people can listen to it vividly.
After the recitation, the singing is a mixture of true and false voices, the true voice is wide and full, the small voice is thin and bright, constantly changing and progressing, with the ups and downs of the melody, relaxed and moderate, and the tone is touching.
Siqing stood under the stage, as if she had been brought into it, and she felt like a drama like life in a trance.
She had to marvel that this Boss Xiao was indeed exceptional.
After a while, I saw that others were on the stage one after another, and a good show was even better.
I didn't see Meng Siyi.
Xiang Fu told her that Si Yi was not qualified to take the stage now.
She had to float to the back yard with Xiangxiang.
Meng Si also saw her, and immediately guessed that it was Xiang Fu who had taken the news, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xiang Fu, and pulled her to a hidden place with annoyance, and he was not polite, and said bluntly: "Fourth sister, your brother is not trustworthy, do you want to be like this, you just go back and say it, why come here?"
Siqing waited for her to calm down a little before saying, "If I want to go back and complain, I won't come." ”
"And what are you doing here?"
Siqing saw that she was still painting her face, I don't know if she was fully painted today, although she couldn't see it at a glance, but if she looked closely, if she was in her own family, she could still recognize it, not to mention not only the face, but also the body shape and walking style, familiar people could also see it.
She said, "You can't hide it like this." ”
"Who said that, I'm learning my body, and outsiders may not even be able to see that I'm a woman. ”
"Do you really like opera, or do you have another purpose?" Si Qing simply said.
"I ......" Meng Siyi also hesitated, raised his eyebrows and said, "I like opera, and I also like Xiao Qin, I'm not young, can't I like individuals?"
"Yes, yes, but you can't just look at the looks, you need to understand the origin of his temperament, and besides, the school hasn't been closed yet, are you here without skipping class?"
"Why are you so verbose like my mother?" Meng Si was also impatient, "Of course I understand, he is a good person, you don't care if I go to school or not, if you really treat me as a sister, don't talk too much when you go back to Meng's house, go quickly." As he spoke, he pushed Siqing out.
Siqing sighed helplessly: "Then I have a request, if you don't agree, I'll poke this thing out when I go back." ”
"What?" Meng Si also stopped, staring at her.
She turned around and said: "The girl's family must be self-respecting, no matter how much you like Boss Xiao, don't be stupid, unless he is married, you know?"
Meng Si also understood what she meant, but sneered: "I only said that the fourth sister, you have read, and you are the first woman to enter the art fair, you should be enlightened, but you don't want to, like the eldest lady, they are all antiques!"
Siqing sighed: "It has nothing to do with whether you are civilized or not, this kind of thing, in the end, it is always a woman who is hurt, although it is not fair, but it is so, if you don't agree, I will go back and tell my father, you know his temper, you will not be able to stay here for a day, and if he is really angry and makes trouble here, it will not be very good for Boss Xiao's reputation, right?"
Meng Siyi was disdainful at first, but when he heard the last sentence, his face changed slightly, and he said unconvinced: "I promise, you can leave quickly." ”
Siqing was relieved to leave.
walked out of the courtyard gate and met Ah Tang.
Ah Tang had actually been here for a while, and when he saw the two of them talking, he didn't go in, but he heard some of the two talking, and he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, just because the edge of the courtyard wall was a hollow pattern, which really couldn't block the sound.
He held two sugar gourds in his hands, moved them for a while, and handed one to Siqing, Siqing saw his regretful look, felt funny and sad, shook his head and said, "Don't feel distressed, I won't eat it." ”
Ah Tang didn't push much, took it back, looked inside, suddenly stood up straight, and said solemnly: "Fourth Miss, don't worry, I will protect her." ”
Siqing looked at him thoughtfully.
"Don't you believe it, you've seen it before, just Boss Xiao's weak appearance, I can knock him down with my fingers. ”
"Okay, then please. Siqing nodded.
But the matter of feelings, fragility is terrible, and tenacity is terrible, if force can solve it, it would be good, she didn't want to dispel this person's confidence, so she didn't say anything more and said goodbye to him.
She walked forward, and Ah Tang also went in with a sugar gourd.
Before she had taken two steps, she heard a scolding behind her, accompanied by the slight sound of things rolling down, she turned around, but saw two sugar gourds lying straight on the ground, rolling dust, and becoming dirty.
And Ah Tang walked out with a red face, bowed his head and went from the other side.
She sighed, turned around and left Xiaofeng Tower, heading in the direction of the kiln.
In the evening, I returned to Meng's house with Huai'an, and before I got closer, I saw a few people just coming out of it, and their footsteps were hurried.
It was dark, and it was impossible to see who those people were.
