Chapter 55: Du Shi Niang

Meng Ya is a loyal fan of Shen Yuelou, starting from the debut of "Love" in the kicking hall competition, to the finals of "Ode to Pear Blossom", basically, she will listen to every song of Shen Yuelou many times.

After the end of the "Good Chinese Singer" program, she thought that Boss Shen would take advantage of the popularity to release a new album and hold a concert, but she never waited for relevant news, and for two months, Shen Yuelou seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Once, I accidentally learned from the fan circle that Boss Shen was going to perform Peking Opera at Jixiang Theater, and Meng Ya immediately asked her boyfriend to buy two tickets.

In fact, she doesn't usually listen to dramas, she just wants to see Shen Yuelou, so she should go to Boss Shen's fan meeting.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Spring and Autumn Drama Club performed at the Jixiang Theater, and Meng Ya and her boyfriend Li Yunfeng came to the theater early.

She glanced at the water sign at the door, and all the plays on it were all things she had never heard of.

There was no name of Boss Shen in the first few plays, and Shen Yuelou was written at the front in the last two scenes.

"It seems that it will take a lot of time, if I had known, I would not have come so early. ”

Meng Ya sat down in her seat and waited quietly for Boss Shen to appear.

Li Yunfeng quipped: "Otherwise, you can sleep first, and when Boss Shen comes out, I will call you." ”

This is a Peking Opera performance, and after a while, I will beat gongs and drums, are you sure I can sleep?

Meng Ya gave her boyfriend a blank look and ignored him.

A short time later, the performance began, and the theater host came up to the stage to read a thank-you speech, and immediately after that, a short fight scene began.

……

"Next, I invite Boss Shen, Boss Yu, Jiang Jiaqi, Wu Shengkui, Zhang Chunyan and others to bring you a new play "Du Shi Niang". ”

Meng Ya was drowsy in the first few plays, and when she heard that Boss Shen was going to appear, she immediately came to her senses.

The sound of Jinghu sounded, the curtain slowly opened, the first scene was the boat scene, Wang Jinyu sat on the big boat, dressed as a court official, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Next to him was a boatman with a penny, and four guards who looked like officials.

At the beginning, there were not many jokes, Wang Jinyu shook his sleeves to make a figure of using river water to clean his face, but because the wind and waves were too strong, he mistakenly dropped the copper basin into the water.

He ordered the boatman and the official to salvage the copper basin, but found that there was an extra box of priceless pearls in the basin.

At this point in the play, some fans who often listen to the play immediately noticed the difference.

"The structure of this play is very novel, generally the main characters in Peking Opera have to report to their homes after they appear, but you see here, the boatman and the official are considered dragon tricks, and they can have no names.

Boss Yu, as the protagonist, only learned from the mouth of the official that he was Lord Liu, and his life and specific identity were not introduced.

Moreover, it is very strange to fish out a box of pearls from the river, there must be some stories in it, and let's see how it will be played next. ”

Meng Ya was not familiar with the structure of Peking Opera, but she was also a little curious about the opening scene.

How did you pick up a box of pearls from the river?

Who is the owner of this jewel?

Meng Ya's doubts didn't last long, and the answer was soon revealed.

After rewarding the servants and the boatman, Lord Liu took the treasure box back to the cabin and placed it at the head of the bed.

In the middle of the night, the pearl in the box shone brightly, and a cloud of smoke rose on the river, and a woman in white stepped on.

The white gas generated by the dry ice overflowed, and Shen You hung a rope and flew down to the stage.

Seeing Boss Shen appear in this way, the audience immediately cheered in unison.

"Wow, Boss Shen's figure is too feminine. ”

"The smoke is like a fairy. ”

"Boss Shen is playing a lonely soul, right?

Following this clue, a well-informed fan began to speculate: "Lord Liu played by Boss Yu is obviously an official, while Boss Shen plays a lonely soul in the river, could it be that a woman took a boat and was killed by a strong man, and wanted to seek revenge from the official master?"

"Maybe it was the boatman who hurt her. ”

The statement of redress proposed by the fan was immediately agreed by several people next to him, and some people even made up the murderer for this mysterious case.

This argument is also reasonable.

It's a pity that the next drama on the stage completely deviated from the direction they expected.

Lord Liu and the lonely soul in Jiangzhong were old acquaintances, and what Boss Shen said in his jokes was not to avenge grievances, but to repay gratitude.

"In the past, the Chengjun family was generous, and he helped with one hundred and fifty gold, and after he wanted to rest his shoulders, Xu Tu repaid, but he didn't mean that there was no end.

However, every time I have a warm heart, I will not forget.

In the morning, I gave a box of pearls, talked about the heart, and never saw each other again. ”

After speaking, the woman in white drifted away.

Lord Liu woke up suddenly, looking back at the scene in Fang Cai's dream, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turned out to be her, alas Shi Niang......"

Wang Jinyu picked up the pearl in the box, her eyes were distant, as if she was caught in a memory.

Hearing Boss Yu's joke, the fans in the audience were even more itchy, you know it well, we are still confused.

Who is Shi Niang? How does it start to repay the favor? What is the matter with one hundred and fifty gold? Why did she become a lonely soul in the river?

With these questions, Meng Ya, who didn't like to watch Peking Opera very much, took it very seriously.

Boss Yu remained still, the lights first dimmed, and after a while, the stage was lit up again.

When the stage was lit up again, Boss Yu had quietly changed into another set of clothes, and his makeup was younger than the previous one, wearing a cyan robe, a white jade ivory folding fan, long hair fluttering, handsome and graceful.

As soon as the gong sounded, Boss Yu reported to his home, and Liu Yuchun, a bachelor of Hanlin.

Wang Jinyu ran a round on the stage, shook the folding fan, cooperated with the Xipi loose board, and sang: "There is nothing to do in the Hanlin Courtyard, and I will drink and write poems in the end." ”

When Boss Yu sang this loose board, Lao Dan Zhang Chunyan quietly came to the stage from the bottom door.

Seeing Boss Yu from afar, Zhang Chunyan shook the scarf in his hand, stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Yo, isn't this Master Liu?" Come on, Master Liu, you can rest inside." ”

Zhang Chunyan is not very old, only twenty-one or twelve years old, but the Qinglou bustard she played was very good when she was a child, whether it was a white man, a look, and a figure.

The audience applauded.

Wang Jinyu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, there is something else to do today, come back another day." ”

Bustard stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yuchun's sleeve, and a burst of laughter came out of her mouth: "Yo, Master Liu, how can there be a reason to pass by?"

Come on, sit down less, have a cup of tea and go. ”

Liu Yuchun couldn't break free, so he smiled helplessly: "So, sit down for a while." ”

Following the bustard into Yichun Building, Liu Yuchun looked around and asked, "Mom, can Shi Niang be in the courtyard?"

Bustard laughed and said: "I guess you have to ask her, she asked Master Yang to make an appointment to Changchun Garden to have a drink, and then come back, Master Liu will ask for tea." ”

After drinking a cup of tea and waiting for Shi Niang not to come, Liu Yuchun said to Bustard: "It's not early, Shi Niang hasn't come back yet, I'm going to take the first step." ”

"Master Liu, you're leaving?"

Before Zhang Chunyan's voice fell, as soon as the gong sounded on the side of the stage, Shen You walked out of the door with Xiaohuadan Liang Wei.

I saw that he was dressed in red, with gorgeous makeup, but there was a trace of fatigue and sadness in his expression.

The curtain was removed, and the maid Mei Xiang helped Du Shi Niang down from the car.

I saw Du Siniang covering her sleeves and frowning lightly, with a forced smile on her face, and singing a piece of Xipi Sanban in her mouth: "The sorrow is still chaotic, and the face is strong every day to invite guests." Laughed at and despised by all the ridicule, even if there are tears, I dare not play. ”

Hearing Boss Shen sing for the first time, the fans in the audience immediately applauded in unison.

"Dressed in red, is this to compare with the lonely soul in white before?"

"The red clothes are also beautiful, I really feel sorry!"

"Boss Shen's work is getting better and better, and with just one frown, he interprets the charm and sorrow of a woman in a green building so well, with a smile and a smile, as if in front of him. ”

……

Du Shi Niang and Mei Xiang got off the bus outside Yichun Building, and happened to meet Bustard and Liu Yuchun, who were going out.

"Yo, isn't this Shi Niang back! Shi Niang, Master Liu has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Bustard took Liu Yuchun back to Du Shi Niang's attic, and quietly retreated.

Liu Yuchun sat opposite Du Shi Niang, and asked with a tender face, "Is Shi Niang tired recently?"

Du Siniang sighed: "Since Mr. came, the benefactors in the past, those who can refuse will refuse, and those who have to push will push, so they are still leisure." ”

Hearing Du Shi Niang's words that were almost directly showing the scars of his heart, Liu Yuchun was suddenly overjoyed: "When you are free, what kind of pastime do you do?"

Du Shi Niang's tone became a little resentful: "But the poetry and songs taught by Mr. Liu, and recently revisited the pen of Danqing, how can Mr. Nai not come for many days, and there is nowhere to ask for advice, so I have to review the old and learn the new." ”

Liu Yuchun showed an embarrassed smile: "Shi Niang is really a hardworking person." ”
