Chapter Seventy-Four: Listening to the Play
The dragon boat race in the afternoon is a very ornamental program, and the Jinjing Pavilion is an excellent location, this pavilion stands on a high place, and the view of the water is unobstructed. There were seven dragon boats parked on the top of the www.biquge.info Haizi, and the strong man helmsman in red and color on it was ready to go, and the dragon boats seemed to be exactly the same, but Yongping and Gao Sui could distinguish between them, and pointed to one of them and said that this designation would take the lead.
However, as expected, this ship traveled fast, and in a short time it far surpassed other dragon ships and won the first place. There was a great roar of joy and the beating of drums, and there were twenty helmsmen on the ship, and each of them was rewarded with a pearl of gold.
It is very beautiful for the dragon boat to glide on the sea, especially the willow trees are planted in a row on the shore, the willow leaves at this time are a kind of old green, but the color is still pleasing to the eye, especially the branches hang on the sea surface with the wind, and the dragon boat is wearing flowers and willows when it travels, and this scenery is like a pattern in the painting.
After that, there was a big flower boat, the flower boat was two stories high, and it was really full of all kinds of flowers, Yong'an Cheng Xianning jumped up happily first, but Chang Ning, who had always been happy, was a little scared and didn't dare to sit on it. Zhang Zhaohuatuo took her on the boat, and the boat shook so much that she was so frightened that she even wanted to go down, but when the boat sailed into the sea, it was very comfortable.
In addition to "The Legend of the West Chamber", Wang Shifu is not suitable to listen to it, and other such as "The Story of the Broken Kiln", "Lichun Garden", "Tea Selling Boat", "Entering the Plum Blossom", "Yu Gong Gaomen" are all beautiful words and good intentions, and they are all four-fold plays, one is rhythmic, when the vomiting and dumb mocking, everyone listens to it happily; the other is that the people who sing the opera are all grandiose, separated by a pond, but the sound is very clear. The other is that the stage on the opposite side is very good, and the two sides of the stage are set with continuous lanterns, and the whole stage is brightly lit, and the audience watching on the opposite side is easy to be immersed in the scene, and the people in the opposite play are like people in a dream.
When he went back in the evening, Zhang Zhaohua was still repeating the lyrics in the play to Gao Chi: "Jide Shanmen Qing, Xie Shou is annoying Xiaojing sad - you listen to this singing, Wang Shifu rarely writes about the love of his children, this play "Donghai County Yugong Gaomen" is the meaning of expecting wealth and nobility! Who ordered it?"
"I don't know this," Gao Chi sat on the edge of the bed, and mixed a small packet of medicinal powder into the wooden barrel to soak his feet: "But I thought you liked to listen to "Lichun Hall" or "The Story of the Broken Kiln", Liu Yue'e and Lu Mengzheng's sad and joyful stories, aren't they moving?"
"The joys and sorrows are nothing more than the legend of the warbler," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Although the West Chamber is the champion in the world, the tragedy has been written into a comedy, where is there still a shocking feeling! ”
"Well," Gao Chi agreed, "do you like the song of Changting's farewell?"
"Changting is well written, comparable to Liu Yongci," Zhang Zhaohua sighed, and said: "But I think "Yue Tune Purple Flower Preface" is written more temperamentally - I don't learn Liu Ling's lotus gong, nor do I learn Qu Zi to throw himself into the river, and be a fan Ligui Lake. Around a beach of red knotweed, over the two sides of the river green pu. Fisherman, take my little boat over. Startled the rows of gulls and herons. If you forget your worries like this, you will return!"
"So you like this," Gao Chi said, "It's very different from Yong'an!"
"Hey, I think it's strange to say," Zhang Zhaohua took off the hairpin ring and said: "I was originally in the Jingshi Palace, and I accompanied Concubine Ning Niangniang to listen to "Bo Jiao", I looked at Niangniang's expression, and it was not like what I liked to hear, I think the emperor liked it, and the harem also liked it." On the excerpts of the opera in the palace, there are not a few northern songs, and they are not sung. ”
"Grandpa Huang loves this song alone," Gao Chi said: "I think it's a similar experience when I was diving." ”
"Anyway, I can't listen to the southern opera," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Wang Shifu, Guan Hanqing and Ma Zhiyuan's tunes, I came to our Beiping, I like it when I hear it, don't say it's me, my father and mother used to listen to such a song in the temple, and I didn't think it was any better, not long after I came to Beiping, I listened to it better than me, my mother listened to the West Chamber, my father listened to the single knife, and even Xiaobao could sing two sentences of Dou E!
"Wang Shifu and Guan Hanqing," Gao Chi said, "which one do you prefer?"
"Guan Hanqing. Zhang Zhaohua said without thinking: "Wang Shifu describes emotions, while Guan Hanqing carves people's hearts. Wang Shifu is far away from the wind god, and Guan Hanqing is deep and bone-like. ”
"Ouch," Gao Chi exclaimed, "You said it very incisively!"
Zhang Zhaohua bared his teeth proudly, stood up and untied his skirt, took off his shoes and socks, and stuffed his feet into the wooden barrel of high soaking feet. Gao Chi was startled and said, "This is the medicine powder that was put in, what are you soaking in!"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "Anyway, it's to ward off the cold, and it's suitable for me to soak." Not only did she not put her feet away, but she stepped on Gao Chi's feet and trampled on them.
"Look at your feet," Zhang Zhaohua looked down at the two pairs of feet in the water, and said, "It's about the same size as mine, have you ever wrapped your feet before!" She was right, not only because Gao Chi's feet were small, but also because the foot shape was very slender, and looking at his ankle bones, it seemed to be thick, I don't know why he was born to his feet, so he was reduced by one size.
"It's wrapped, indeed. Gao Chi was not very taboo: "In fact, because I was born with bent foot bones, in order to straighten it, I used a foot wrap, which I wore from childhood to the age of seven. ”
Zhang Zhaohua didn't expect that Gao Chi was born deformed, and a pair of feet were actually wrapped out of the day after tomorrow, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Breaking the bones straightened, doesn't it hurt so much," Zhang Zhaohua said: "And the day you were sensible, you knew that you were wearing a woman's footcloth, how did you feel in your heart?"
"It's just to cure the disease, if you have a disease, you have to be cured, and now there is nothing wrong with the bones," Gao Chi said with a smile: "Actually, when I was a child, I was still very envious of others who could run, jump and ride horses, but I was about to fall down after walking a few steps." ”
"It's not your feet that I'm worried about now, it's your fat," Zhang Zhaohua made a worried look and said, "Today, Gao Xu shot the willow successfully, I see that my father is very happy, and he doesn't just want to give a bow." ”
"That's because Gao Xu originally had a horn bow," Gao Chi said, "and there is no need for a second one." ”
At this time, Hanshuang walked in from the outside, and her mouth seemed to be singing something in a low voice, and when she heard it carefully, it was actually the words and phrases sung by the husband and wife when they met in "The Story of the Broken Kiln".
"Come here with frost!" Zhang Zhaohua suddenly said: "Let me ask you, which is better, the play you watched today or the "Pipa Story" you watched in the palace?"
"It's all good-looking," Hanshuang said: "They are all loyal and filial, and they can see the moon when the clouds open!"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "After Cai Bojiao and Lu Mengzheng made their careers, one was unfortunate and the other was suspicious, so they all tried to find a wife who was unswervingly in love, poor Zhao Wuniang's hemp skirt and soil to eat chaff vegetables, Liu Yue'e cold kiln alone in the miserable wind and rain, but such a husband, is it deserved?"
"One horse is not worthy of two saddles, how can a single ox have two carts driving side by side?" Hanshuang asked her in turn: "But all women want to find a man who is kind, kind, gentle, ambitious, and good at writing, but how can there be such a creation! ”
"Look at Hanshuang like this," Gao Chi couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems like a trick has been figured out!"
Zhang Zhaohua shook his head and said: "I think she is too poisoned! You men, by nature, are a person who likes the new and hates the old, and it is the norm for the love to turn hot and cold, and he is the same character as Cai Bojiao and Lu Qiuhu, but he wants a woman not to learn to buy a courtier's wife or be a Zhuo woman, there is no reason for this! I saw that Zhao Wuniang and Liu Yue'e were loyal to each other, so that the husband and wife were happy and happy, and they had a happy ending! If Liu Yue'e responds to the matchmaker's family affairs, even if she keeps it for ten years, she will give up her previous achievements, as the so-called disloyalty is not used a hundred times, you can justifiably give up!"
The more Zhang Zhaohua spoke, the more angry he became, and he pointed at Hanshuang and said: "Hanshuang, Hanshuang, if you really believe in the things written in this play, wouldn't this life be ruined! I also said a few days ago that Ji Shansuo had a pedantic Yu Fengchen, but I didn't expect that there was also a person around me who was stunned by watching the play! This is not good, who is the excerpt of this play! I think it is a green forest miscellaneous drama, and it is much stronger than this!"
"The Green Forest Miscellaneous Drama is unplayable now," Gao Chi said: "It turns out that at the banquet, it must be performed, and there is nothing that I don't like to hear." ”
The Green Forest Miscellaneous Drama is the Water Margin Opera, Zhang Zhaohua saw several plays on the excerpts, such as "Double Dedication", "Wang Dwarf Tiger Havoc in Dongping Mansion" or "Song Gongming Pai Jiugong Bagua Array", but tonight I didn't order these plays, it seems that it is still a bit taboo, although the heroes of Liangshan were finally recruited, but they still started as a rebellion, and now Haiqing Heyan's Taiping Mountains and Rivers have no more to instigate.
"Forget it," Zhang Zhaohua wiped his feet indiscriminately and said, "Hurry up and sleep, I still have something to do tomorrow." ”
