"What is 'Fighting the Eight Immortals'?" asked Ma Lin curiously.

"This 'Eight Immortals' is a feature of theatrical performances in the Minzhou area, which can no longer be seen in the Grand Theater, but can still be seen in the countryside, which is very interesting, and you will know it later. Ye Rongrong said with a smile to Liu Jingqing and Ma Lin.

Although Liu Jingqing has been married to the countryside for almost two years, it is also the first time to watch a play in the countryside, after all, Taoyuan Village has not played for many years, and before Ye Rongrong became better, Liu Jingqing had never been out of Taoyuan Village, so she had not seen a play in the countryside, she was as particularly interested as Ma Lin.

"Yes, Sister Qinqing, Linlin, the first scene of the rural drama is 'Playing the Eight Immortals', which is particularly interesting, I was very fond of the rural drama when I was a child, especially the 'Playing the Eight Immortals', which will sprinkle sugar below, and the children like it very much, you see that there are many children around the stage, all of them are waiting for the Eight Immortals to send sugar, and I was also around there waiting for sugar when I was a child. ”

Ye Shuting said to Ma Lin and Liu Jingqing excitedly. The play in the village reminded Ye Shuting of interesting things when she was a child.

"Husband, did you gather around the stage when you were a child and wait for candy. Liu Jingqing looked at Ye Rongrong and asked with a smile.

"Yes, at that time, the village was still very poor, children rarely had candy to eat, it was rare to have such a good thing, everyone would definitely not let go, at that time, several nearby villages, as long as there was a play, the first scene 'Playing the Eight Immortals' Everyone was not late, and they would sprinkle sugar on the side of the stage early. Ye Rongrong nodded and said.

"Brother Glory, why don't we go grab candy too?" Marin suggested.

"Husband, let's go too, shall we?"

Liu Jingqing looked at Ye Rongrong and said. Liu Jingqing also wants to experience the fun of grabbing sugar.

"Go ahead and grab it, I'll just watch it here. ”

Ye Rongrong said. After all, Ye Rongrong is almost thirty years old now, and his face is much thinner than before, and now he is also the number one person in the village. This kind of embarrassing thing, Ye Rongrong is embarrassed to do it.

"Sister Qinqing, Ma Lin, let's just go, you see that there are many women in the village under the stage, and they also want to grab sugar. Everyone said that the sugar sprinkled by the eight immortals was lucky candy, and you could be lucky if you ate it. Ye Shuting said.

"Brother Glory, aren't you going?" Ma Lin looked at Ye Rongrong and asked.

"Just go. ”

Ye Rongrong shook his head and said. Ye Rongrong is very macho, this kind of humiliating thing, Ye Rongrong resolutely does not do.

"Let's go, husband, you can help us look at the location. ”

After Liu Jingqing stood up and explained to Ye Rongrong, he pulled Ma Lin and Ye Shuting and walked to the front of the stage.

At seven o'clock, it was completely dark, and the stage was full of people. The whole stage was very lively.

The first scene, "Fighting the Eight Immortals", is about the queen mother holding a peach event, and the queen mother feasting all kinds of immortals. The first to come out are the four gods of the four values of Gong Cao (value year, value month, value day, value time).

Then they came up one after another, such as the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Fu, Lu, and Shou Samsung. Send the son Niangniang, Kuixing. Small bangs, God of Wealth, Guan Gong and so on.

Then, after sitting on several very high chairs set up on the stage, they sang a piece of the play, and finished. The little bangs are here, played by a teenager, but this role is also quite hard, and you have to turn several times on the stage. After that, the gods from all walks of life returned the salute one by one and went behind the scenes.

Then a single man came up. First of all, Kui Xing appeared, Kui Xing is the god in charge of the imperial examination, wearing a mask, holding a brush in one hand and an ink fountain in the other, this one has to jump on the stage, and from time to time he has to hold a pen and write something in the air, which is also a desire for people to add officials to the examination to gain fame.

The next thing to come out should be Tianguan, who is also wearing a mask, the mask is white, and the face is smiling. The rhythm music behind each one is different and has a fixed one.

After the heavenly official came up, he bowed to several directions, and then picked up the words placed on the table and showed everyone, generally "five grains are abundant, and the rain is smooth" and so on. Then he put it back on the table, bowed again, and slowly walked behind the scenes.

The next two fairy girls came up, and it was not clear which fairy Ye Glory was playing, and they wanted to behave like grinding rice, weaving and other actions, and then another picked up the child, and the other held a champion hat.

Ye Rongrong didn't understand it very well, but he could probably estimate the meaning, that is, the meaning of sending children and taking the top prize, the ancients attached great importance to the inheritance of the ancestors and the title of the gold list.

Next, the music in the back became extremely high, and the God of Wealth with gold ingots in his hand came up, wearing a black robe and a mask.

It's very interesting, he will deliberately point to the audience and then stretch out his hand as if to say give him the ingots, and immediately take it back.

After a few trips back and forth like this, he will wave his hand to the people waiting on the side and call up, in the countryside "Playing the Eight Immortals" are all packed, and the bag can come up to get the ingot, and then he has to give the person who plays the god of wealth a red envelope in exchange for the ingot.

Then, the person who plays the god of wealth will open the red envelopes, take out the money one by one, count it for everyone to see, and then roll up the sleeves and go behind the scenes.

After all, in front of so many fathers and villagers, the money in this red envelope is to be counted for everyone to see, and there are no three or five thousand, and they are embarrassed to pack this "Eight Immortals".

Otherwise, it will be laughed at by people in several nearby villages, today the person who "played the eight immortals", Ye Rongrong also knew, it was Ye Rongkai, a very rich person in the village, he ran a factory outside, and his family property was heard to be tens of millions, and he had already bought a house in the city, and they all lived in the city.

For people who do business, they are particularly concerned about this kind of auspicious thing, judging from the amount of money counted by the "God of Wealth" just now, there are 8,000 yuan, which is not a small red envelope.

Next is the last project of the Eight Immortals, the worship hall, is two pairs of newcomers, wearing phoenix crowns and xia curtains, living palace flower gauze hats, red official clothes to the audience to worship the church, and then have already placed in front of the stage fruits, beer, sugar and other kinds of food to take away.

Of course, there are also red envelopes, which should also be opened and shown to the audience one by one, this red envelope is different from the red envelope just now, this red envelope is for the newcomers in the chapel, one red envelope has 800 yuan, and two red envelopes are 1,600 yuan, which is from the village old people's association.

Then there is a rather interesting link, that is, the sugar is divided, the sugar is to be dismantled here, and the two couples scatter the sugar to the audience below.

At this time, there are a lot of teenage children below, all of them jumping, and after sprinkling sugar on it, they are all happy, and there are many women who are also grabbing sugar, but there are no adult men to grab sugar, after all, men are good-looking.

Ye Rongrong paid attention to his wives and them, and saw that they were grabbing candy under the stage, and they were more active than those children.
