Li Ruofan didn't expect that he would have to fight against Tian Khan and Guo Moruo's drama just after he arrived in Beiping!

Chinese drama in 1925 was still in the ascendant stage of exploration, that is, everyone still did not know what the real Chinese drama was. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Basically, during this period, I first studied Western dramas, and then I began to try them like vernacular novels.

What Chunliu Society, Xinmin Society, Nankai Society, and Beiping Renyi are all drama clubs that have emerged one after another.

Tian Khan used to be an important member of the Creation Society, whose main achievement was drama, and later he also formed the Nanguo Society, and the lyrics of the national song "Volunteers-Brave-Army March" were created by him.

Li Ruofan met such a Tian Khan, who is known as the founder of Chinese drama, can he win?

When you arrive in Beiping, you naturally live first. Li Ruofan didn't expect that Meng Xiaodong's enlightened master Qiu Yuexiang had already come over first, and lived in the Chunlai Inn in Dongtangzi Hutong in Dongcheng.

It's also a coincidence, just when the carriage passed by, Fang Shuirou's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was a courtyard house for sale, and when he asked, the asking price was eight hundred oceans.

During the Republic of China, the gold bar was commonly known as yellow croaker, which was actually divided into large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker, with large yellow croaker about 350 grams and small yellow croaker about 35 grams. In the early days of the Republic of China, an ounce of gold was about 16-17 US dollars, a pound was about 4 US dollars, and a silver dollar was exchanged for 2.4 dollars for one dollar.

Although there are many large transactions in gold, most people still like to use silver dollars, that is, Yuan Datou.

Li Ruofan simply bought it, anyway, if this price is put in the future generations, it is no different from giving it away for free. Then he invited Meng Xiaodong, Sun Laoyuan and Qiu Yuexiang to live over.

Originally, Meng Xiaodong wanted to postpone it, but Li Ruofan said with a smile: "Originally, this was given to you, and it can be regarded as an apprenticeship ceremony." I was in a hurry today, so I will take a look at it in the next two days, and then buy another one for Master Sun. I know that Master Sun's son-in-law is not in Beiping, but this side is not close, and it is convenient for Meng Xiaodong to raise his voice, isn't it?"

Sun Laoyuan's son-in-law is Zhang Rongkui, who sang Wenwu Laosheng, and after leaving the school, he assisted Tan Xinpei and Yang Xiaolou to perform. Sun Laoyuan in Beiping has no place to stay, Li Ruofan is a windfall that flew in anyway, so he naturally wants to solve Master Sun's worries.

Master Sun said with a smile: "Although this courtyard is not big, there are few of us, but it is enough to live." ”

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "After a long journey, you, rest for a few days, I'm still waiting for you to introduce a good hand to make two huqins, and I can learn two sections from you if it's okay." You don't have to worry about this house. If you hire a maid in the house, it will be crowded. ”

Qiu Yuexiang saw that there was one more man and one woman beside Meng Xiaodong, but he didn't expect that he was still a rich young master, although he was familiar, he didn't know his name. But he doesn't sing anymore, it's naturally good to have a place to live, and he doesn't have to spend his own money.

In fact, Li Ruofan almost broke off relations because of the later affairs of Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang, Qiu Yuexiang tried his best to oppose them, and returned to Shanghai alone, without financial resources, and the evening scene was very bleak.

I saw the newcomer laughing, and the old man crying, so Li Ruofan wanted to keep Qiu Yuexiang, at least he was an excellent teacher.

Soon Li Ruofan bought two more courtyard houses in Dongcheng, one for himself and one for Sun Laoyuan. Seeing that Li Ruofan was so respectful, Sun Laoyuan was also very attentive to teaching.

In fact, there is a secret that Huqin Sun Laoyuan can become the only holy hand now. In the beginning, the huqin was played with a soft bow, and it was extremely laborious to pull. If the wrist strength is a little weak, it is difficult to use it freely, it is too difficult.

Therefore, Jia Xiangrui is very powerful, and he uses a hard bow in a unique way, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the huqin, which means that you can practice it even if you have weak wrist strength! This is a major reform.

But Jia Xiangrui passed away early, so those who wanted to learn Huqin all voted to Jia Xiangrui's two disciples, Mei Yutian (Mei Lanfang's uncle) and Sun Laoyuan. And the master who pulls the soft bow gradually becomes unpopular.

Li Ruofan settled down and explained a few words to Fang Shuirou, so he naturally went to visit Mr. Song Ping'an, vice president of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce, who might become his father-in-law, Taishan.

Song Ping'an is actually not worried that his daughter Song Yunting can't get married, a Peking socialite, a Yanjing student, and the pursuer is only afraid that he can be ranked outside Shanhaiguan.

But this daughter is rebellious when she reads, and she has to marry the person she likes.

Of course, it is also a good choice if you can marry the Lin family in Jinling, the Song family does any business in Beiping, black and white, warlord foreigners, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and is at ease.

After seeing more, I naturally understand that the Beiyang government in Beiping is afraid that it will not last long. But businessmen don't care about this, no matter whether you sit in the Forbidden City Cixi or the president, in fact, it's not all the same.

The Song family's business plate is big, the road is wide, and naturally there are many shady businesses, and the Lin family in Jinling is in an alliance, and there are banks tossing back and forth, and many silver that cannot be put on the table will naturally be laundered. And it is naturally better to put more baskets of eggs.

originally thought that the young master of the Lin family was just a scholar who had drunk foreign ink, but when he saw the whole tiger skin given by Li Ruofan, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Ruofan smiled slightly, saying that he traveled all the way to Beijing this time, but he met a group of bandits, and he cleaned it up, and this tiger skin was one of the trophies, and it was just right to give it to his uncle.

Song Ping'an said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew was both civil and military. ”

Although seeing what Li Ruofan said, Song Ping'an didn't fully believe it, but he kept quiet.

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "Uncle praise, hey, in fact, I touched the gun when I was abroad, and I also brought a box gun back to China, this time thanks to it, I made the first move to restrain the bandit." I didn't want to get a lot of gains, so I also seized a few boxes of tobacco and a dozen Hanyang-made and countless bullets. The younger generation has just arrived in Beiping, and they don't know how to send this hot potato out. Please also ask my uncle to teach me. ”

Song Ping'an laughed: "Okay, good, good, good nephew, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, young people just have to have this courage! Some of the uncle's fields just need some scenes of Hanyang to build towns, and I will ask the housekeeper to bring a box of small yellow croakers over later." ”

During the Republic of China, the hard currency was made in Hanyang, tobacco, yellow croaker and silver dollars. The most valuable thing is made in Hanyang, which is a must-have for large families.

Li Ruofan hurriedly got up and thanked: "This is the younger generation's filial piety to the uncle, since he should let the subordinates send it to the house, how dare he let the housekeeper bring any little yellow croaker over." Why didn't you see Song Yunting's sister?"

Song Ping'an was slightly embarrassed: "This girl, I can't control her! She said that she was going to join the Nanguo Society to rehearse what new play, and it was all behind the back of that kid from the Shi family! You have to help me persuade her when I turn around! Don't talk about this, you, if your uncle takes your things for nothing, you won't have the face to go to Jinling to see Lin Weng!"

Li Ruofan smiled and asked, "Who is this historian?"

Song Ping'an said: "The youngest son of Shi Wenwu, the chairman of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce, hugged Zhang Dashuai's thigh, and he is a gentleman! However, his brother is a talent, and he stood alone at the Bank of East Asia at a young age! I have always wanted to set up a bank, but there is a shortage of talents! Fortunately, a virtuous nephew came to help. ”

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, drama is also a new thing now, it is estimated that Song Yunting's sister is a few days fresh, and it just so happens that my sister is also studying in Yanjing." Just go and take a look. ”

Song Ping'an smiled: "I'm optimistic about you." But my daughter is too assertive, and I don't want to interfere too much. Now it's all about the freedom of love. I can't keep up with the times. ”
