Chapter 52: The Golden Stone

Brother Duan'er approached, tugged at the young man's sleeve and said, "Senior brother, I just saw someone wearing an egret feather on his head and fragrant Fu Fan, I don't know which immortal he is pretending to be!

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhang Zhaohua with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Duan Ge'er suddenly looked like thousands of ants on his body, and the pores of his body were sweating, and he suddenly understood the meaning of "sitting on pins and needles" and "thorns in his back", he felt that he should have something to say, and there were grievances to complain about, after all, it was the girl in front of him who was unkind, and she abandoned the affection of her childhood in the past - but when he saw her today, he only had a quenching joy in his heart.

Today is Shangyuan Night, and it seems that all the beautiful stories of meeting on a moonlit night have gone around in his little brain.

"You, Sister Hua," he said, "you're also here to watch the lanterns?"

"I'm here to see the social drama! Zhang Zhaohua asked: "This little brother, is it your senior brother in the library school?

"Exactly," Brother Duan didn't think she could remember every word she said, and said in surprise, "Do you rememberβ€”"

"Brother Yang," Zhang Zhaohua asked, "Brother Duan said that you played the promotion map, and there was never a failure." Do you have any tricks, it must not be some luck to win every time?"

Zhang Zhaohua feels that there are all kinds of deception in the world, which are in the truth and in human feelings. The two armies can be used against each other, the six arts of the chessboard can be used, and the casino is a thousand skills. If you win the game with such a thousand means, you will be in the limelight for a while, but you will eventually be known for a long time. Or the person in front of him, just to raise money for his mother's treatment, and not take this as the right way, the latter is of course the best.

"Then what do you think," Senior Brother Yang squatted down and said with a smile, "How did I win?"

Zhang Zhaohua thought about it in his heart, and finally said tentatively: "I heard that there is a way to fill the dice with hands and feet, for example, to inject mercury into it-"

"Ah," Duan Ge'er was surprised: "There is such a way, inject mercury into the dice!"

"There is such a method in the casino, filling mercury and lead;" Senior Brother Yang said with a smile: "Because these two things are not easy to disperse, like a piece of paste, when rolling the dice, shake the dice first, so that the mercury or lead in the sieve to the side, so that the dice will be heavy in one direction." And the heavier side is definitely facing down on the table. Such a cheating method is very ingenious, but it is really rare to make no trace and not be seen through. The world has learned to be shrewd, and this kind of deception can't be fooled. ”

"Get out of the way, listen to the singing!" On the raised platform raised by seven or eight people behind, one person stood babbling and singing, because he was walking along with the social fire in front of him, so a large number of people watching each other singing and running followed.

Senior Brother Yang picked up Zhang Zhaohua, took a few steps back, and after the flow of people passed, Zhang Zhaohua said, "What are they singing?"

Just because this singing tone is very strange, Zhang Zhaohua, who had heard Peking Opera Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera Kunqu Opera in his previous life, had never heard such a singing method that was just a one-person cappella.

"This is Qingyin," Senior Brother Yang said: "It's a cappella, you haven't heard it before, this is the troupe from Jiujiang." ”

"This sounds really a bit weird," Duan Ge'er said: "Let's look at the five flowers in the back, or the northern song sounds like gold and stone!"

Now Zhang Zhaohua couldn't figure it out, it sounded like the opera of this era, there was a difference between the north and the south.

Duan Ge'er's eyes kept staring at her, and seeing that her little face showed a rare look of bewilderment, she couldn't help laughing, and talked to her carefully, saying that Beiqu was a popular northern miscellaneous opera in the Jin and Yuan dynasties of the previous dynasty, and it was divided into two forms: drama and sanqu. The opera is a one-fold play, which is rapped in the form of a stage performance, while the sanqu is a single-movement orb, which is sung in a cappella. But both of them are a fusion of northern folk tunes, impassioned, and vigorous, among which the "Single Knife Meeting" and "Dou E's Injustice" that have been handed down by Guan Hanqing in the Yuan Dynasty are representatives.

"Dou E's injustice," hearing the familiar term, Zhang Zhaohua became excited, and said, "I know this, is there a performance tonight?"

"Don't let you act," Senior Brother Yang gently covered her mouth with his hand, and said: "The emperor is not allowed to dress up as the concubines of the past dynasties, loyal ministers and martyrs, and statues of the saints and sages. ”

"Oh," Zhang Zhaohua nodded, and asked again: "Then what is Southern Opera, is it all sung like that?"

"Of course, the southern opera arose in the south," Senior Brother Yang said: "The northern opera is called the Northern Opera Miscellaneous Opera, and the southern opera is the Southern Opera Opera." ”

Southern opera arose in the last years of the Song Dynasty, is a form of theatrical expression with song and dance stories as the main body, and has multiple titles in the Ming Dynasty, such as: legendary, Wenzhou miscellaneous opera, Yongjia miscellaneous opera, etc. It is sung in the southern dialect, with loose rhythm, soft and tactful, and the northern opera string music is different from the southern opera like to use wind music, which is suitable for singing affectionate stories. The more famous repertoire of Southern Opera includes "The Story of the Pipa", "The Story of the Jing Hai" and so on.

"I'll sing "The Pipa Story" tonight," Senior Brother Yang said: "The Pipa Story is "Bo Jiao", and the protagonist in it is Cai Bo Jiao. ”

"I've never heard of this," Zhang Zhaohua said truthfully, "Is it good-looking?"

"Cai Bojiao, who is loyal and filial, and Zhao Wuniang, who is chaste and fierce, this play is naturally good-looking," how to listen to Senior Brother Yang's words have a little special meaning, "The emperor in the palace likes it very much." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the crowd in front of him cheering: "Wu Niang!

"Isn't this Zhao Wuniang," Senior Brother Yang pointed to the woman in white clothes and singing on the stage, and said, "This is exactly the one where Zhao Wuniang carried the pipa on her back, played and sang along the road and begged to find her husband in the capital." ”

Zhang Zhaohua listened carefully for a long time, and said: "It seems that the language is the same as the Qingyin just now, but the tone is very different. ”

"It's all from Jiangxi, and the language is naturally Gan dialect," Senior Brother Yang nodded: "This "Pipa Ji" is sung in Yiyang dialect, the tone can be changed, and it is easy to absorb other tunes, so after it is transmitted to various places, it can be integrated with local folk music to form a new tone, so it spreads the fastest." ”

"Is there an Anhui dialect when it comes to Anhui, and there are some Anhui accents?" Zhang Zhaohua said: "That's why the emperor in the palace likes to listen to this?"

"Of course, if you listen carefully, you can hear the flower cavity of Anhui Huangmei tea song in it," Senior Brother Yang said: "There are several kinds of cavities, and there are different types, but Yiyang cavity adopts the strengths of others, which can be described as the master of southern opera." ”

According to him, Emperor Zhu was very fond of "The Pipa Record" and once said to his subordinates: "The "Five Classics and Four Books", cloth, silk, and corn are also available in every family; "This piece is often played in the palace.

"I always feel it," Zhang Zhaohua muttered, "this southern sound is like a beautiful sound." ”

"Do you know what the sound is?" Senior Brother Yang, who was holding him, showed a look of surprise.

"That's the feeling," Zhang Zhaohua said, "I think that the atmosphere of the founding of the country should not be like this." ”

Senior Brother Yang, who said this sentence, was silent for a while, and said: "What you said, there are also courtiers who have said that every time this is played in the palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs are not very accustomed to it, so the emperor ordered the teaching workshop to try to change it, re-change the singing tone, and use the zhenglu, but in the end it is the southern sound, and the wind of the garlic cheese in the north is less." ”

In other words, in this era, the main singing tone is still Beiqu? This is the difference between the sound of gold and stone and the sound of the flute and drum.
