Chapter 51 Deliberately Finding Fault
Mo Ke squatted curiously in a large wooden box and looked at the various phoenix crowns inside, his face was full of curiosity, Zheng Jingjing also squatted on the side and looked at the colorful clothes made of satin, thinking that they were also very good-looking.

The costumes of Yue Opera are different from the exaggerated and rich form of Peking Opera, because the repertoire of Yue Opera is mostly the love story of talented and beautiful people, so the costumes are more life-oriented, not too fancy, and the materials are all made of Jiangnan satin, the texture is very good, plus embroidery, simple with a hint of gorgeousness.
Glancing at Wang Yao, Mo Ke leaned into Zheng Jingjing's ear and smiled, "You see he's quite shy." ā
Zheng Jingjing put down the water sleeve in her hand, glanced at Wang Yao, who was smiling with a shrunken neck surrounded by a group of beautiful sisters, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, thinking that he was not shy, just pretending to be obedient.
However, looking at the ratio of men and women in the backstage lounge, Zheng Jingjing couldn't help frowning, there were too many girls.
"You must look good in this dress. Mo Ke touched a light blue silk robe and said with a sigh.
Zheng Jingjing retracted her gaze and glanced at this costume, "It looks a little bloated." ā
"Silk brocade has a drape, especially after wearing, there will be different patterns with the movement, and with the stage lighting, it is very beautiful. Mo Ke said with a smile.
"Why don't you follow me to learn drama, I can see that Mr. Mao likes you a lot. Zheng Jingjing said suddenly.
"I can't keep my voice up. Mo Ke shook his head, "You also know that I sing out of tune." ā
"That's right. Zheng Jingjing nodded seriously.
"Stinky girl, you don't comfort me!" Mo Ke hugged Zheng Jingjing angrily and took a bite.
When the two were fighting, the actors of the troupe who had finished flirting with Wang Yao had already followed Mao Weitao to the stage to rehearse.
Wang Yao let out a long breath, the smell of rouge on those sisters just now almost suffocated him, and walked to Zheng Jingjing's side and took a deep breath unconsciously.
Wang Yao's inhaling voice made Zheng Jingjing glance at him with some dissatisfaction.
"Go to the front and watch the rehearsal. Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Go ahead, I'll watch her and don't break things. Zheng Jingjing shook her head and looked at Mo Ke, who was admiring in the various wooden boxes.
Wang Yao's gaze stopped for a second on Mo Ke's extraordinarily sensual long legs when he squatted, then quickly shifted his gaze and nodded, and walked towards the front of the stage.
Mao Weitao and the others acted in a play adapted from a passage in "Dream of Red Mansions", called Daguanyuan.
This is a short repertoire, with nine performances and seven classic lyrics: flaw detection, frightening dreams, sad spring, sad autumn, hidden sorrow, leaving the soul, and crying blood.
is mostly an entanglement between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, interspersed with the love and hate of other characters.
Although the repertoire is not long, it is the most essential repertoire, this Mao Weitao has been singing since thirteen years ago, and it is also with this play that he has officially established the prestige of 'Little Overlord' in the Yue Opera industry.
Because Mao Weitao's master Yin Guifang was the emperor of Yue Opera, Mao Weitao, who was only twenty-five years old at the time, was named "Little Overlord" in the industry, which shows that his skills are average.
As one of the four masterpieces of classical literature, "Dream of Red Mansions" has a comprehensive testimony of the rise and fall of an era and a profound theory of human nature, and has been respected by the literary world until now.
But most people's concept of this book is that this is a romance novel, and it is also a big harem novel, which is also the enlightenment interest of many male readers, and it just so happens that Wang Yao was also 'enlightened' a few days ago.
This 120W word novel, Wang Yao hasn't finished reading it for so many days, with the speed at which he reads books, it is indeed a magical thing, but Wang Yao is not in a hurry at all, because this book is not fast.
Wang Yao also knows this repertoire very well.
"Grand View Garden" wrote that the concubine Jia Yuanchun was provincial, and the provincial villa was named Daguan Garden, and Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichun sisters entered the garden to live, and for a while, they gathered to enjoy the spring flowers and autumn moon.
However, the good times do not last long, there are more and more accidents, in the prosperity and decline of the Grand View Garden, it shows the tragedy of love and marriage between Bao, Dai and Hairpin, and the various misfortunes and tragic endings of young women.
The play is divided into nine scenes, followed by "Yuanchun Province", "Qunfang Troubled Spring", "Jin Chuan Jumping into the Well", "Sending Medicine and Giving Pa", "Night Rain and Dream", "Baoyu Sadness and Autumn", "Baochai Hidden Worries", "Daiyu Broken Soul", and "Really Clean".
This play strives to embody the spirit of Cao Xueqin's original work of "ten thousand people share sorrow, and a thousand reds cry".
It not only depicts the tragic pain of many women, but also depicts the tragic pain of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Qingwen and other rebellions against feudal etiquette, and the misfortune of Xue Baochai who became a victim because of obedience to feudal etiquette;
Jia Baoyu played by Mao Weitao is undoubtedly the protagonist of the protagonists, from the rush of wandering among the heroines in the first act, to the heartfelt sadness and despair at the end, it must be vividly displayed through the stage.
Because he didn't change into costumes, the stage was full of actors wearing modern costumes, and there would be some plays, but the singing of the leading actors easily infected the audience with everyone's emotions and expressions.
Wang Yao turned his head a little impatiently, and a large group of people pushed and shoved into the backstage, and Wang Yao, who was in the lead, saw that it was one of the group of Dongying people who had just visited Young Master Mei in the banquet hall, but this person's expression was not so contemptuous at that time.
The rehearsal at the front desk continued, Wang Yao lowered the curtain and walked over to block the way of the group of people, and arched his hand, "A few people are quiet, the front is rehearsing." ā
The only two men in the Mao Weitao troupe stood behind Wang Yao, staring vigilantly at the Dongying people opposite.
Wang Yao looked at the leading Dongying man, and after muttering a few words to a man who seemed to be an interpreter, the translator came over and said, "Where is your leader?"
"The head of the regiment rehearsed at the front. The man from the troupe said.
"This is the head of Mr. Yamamoto's drama club, and I want to requisition the next venue for rehearsal, so you go and talk to your head of the troupe. The translator said with a smile.
Wang Yao frowned, although he had never rehearsed, but he knew how long it would take for this repertoire, even if it was a simple rehearsal, it would take more than two hours to go through it roughly, and it was only less than half an hour, how could someone grab the land?
Wang Yao estimated it in his heart, and felt that the other side was probably deliberately looking for fault.
