Chapter 198: Six Rites and Restraints

Time: 10 a.m. the next morning.

Location: A small courtyard somewhere in Quang Tien Province.

"Peking Opera art originated in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a long history, due to the influence of feudal etiquette, men and women were never allowed to perform on the same stage, until the early years of the Republic of China, if men and women were on the same stage, it would be a major event of 'demorescence', not only by the people's spurning, but also by the interference of the authorities. Therefore, the 'Danjiao' who plays the female figure on the stage is basically a male actor."

"As for how to make an actor play a good role, in addition to his voice, what he pays attention to is a soft word, every move must appear soft, no matter from which angle you look at, you must do these two words"

"Gentleness is mainly presented from the movements, of course, the sound is also indispensable" Mei Bixue, who was wearing white casual clothes, explained to a handsome young man standing in front of her, speaking very slowly, but very seriously, and the explanation was very detailed, I was afraid that the other party would not understand.

Su Zimo listened to the detailed explanations in his ears, combined with the thoughts that popped up in his heart from time to time, asked questions, and got explanations one by one, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

As for Su Xi'er and Yang Leling, they sat on the chairs on the side, looking at the figures flashing on the TV for a while, and looking at Su Zimo who looked like teachers and students for a while, the former was still young and couldn't understand these complicated words, as for the latter, maybe it was fun, watching Su Zimo gesture with certain movements from time to time, and he learned it, although the movements were a little clumsy, but in a short time, it was much smoother.

"Knock knock" At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

"I'll open the door" Yang Leling jumped down from the chair and ran towards the door with messy small steps.

Mei Bixue also stopped in the explanation, and looked out of the door with puzzled eyes, not thinking that anyone would come to find her at this time, after all, if there was nothing to do, she didn't step out of the door, so she was not very familiar with the surrounding tenants.

Su Zimo also followed the other party's gaze.

After a while, there was a burst of messy footsteps, in addition to Yang Leling, there were two figures beside him, one with a vicissitudes of life, and a middle-aged man with a calm face.

The other is a young man in his twenties, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people the feeling of femininity.

"Hmm, what are you doing here?" Mei Bixue frowned slightly when she saw someone coming, and said softly.

"Hmm, why don't you welcome me?" the middle-aged man walked to the table of eight immortals in the middle of the hall and sat down, while the feminine young man stood behind him, like a bodyguard.

Mei Bixue felt a little helpless, and said to Su Zimo, "This is my brother, Mei Biquan"

When Su Zimo heard this, he smiled and nodded at the two of them.

"This little young man and two little girls are? Have you forgotten your ancestral teachings? If you are not from your own family, you are not allowed to enter the ancestral house" Mei Biquan said calmly, with no expression on her face, and she did not look angry and arrogant.

Su Zimo keenly captured the word 'renting a house', and then thought of the surnames of the two of them, and an idea came to his heart, which quietly emerged.

Mei Bixue said helplessly, "Big brother, your temperament is still so stubborn and so conformist"

"The ancestral training is the ancestral training, and it cannot be violated," Liu Biquan shook his head, and said in a very flat tone.

"Big brother, do you know! My second brother and I just couldn't stand your temperament, so we withdrew from your troupe" Mei Bixue sighed and told the truth.

When Mei Biquan heard this, he was rarely silent for a while, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I don't care about it this time, let them go, since it is the ancestral teaching, we have to follow it."

Although Su Zimo felt very helpless, everyone said so, and just wanted to raise his feet and walk to Su Xi'er's side, but he heard a sound next to him, like a bombshell, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Even Zhang Biquan, who was sitting firmly on the high platform, paused when he heard this, obviously surprised.

The feminine young man looked at Su Zimo who was standing in place with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Zimo, are you interested? When I am a student, join my Mei faction and study hard," Mei Bixue said slowly to Su Zimo after careful consideration.

Su Zimo naturally did not refuse, when he did not come into contact with this line, he thought it was quite simple, when he came into contact with this line, he knew how deep the water of this line was, and one after another ideas kept popping up, after this period of training and attempts, his singing skills have been rarely improved, although it is only very little, but it is based on his original advanced singing skills.

"Xiaoxue, are you sure? I hope you're not joking, don't mistake yourself and others, after all, ten years ago, ......" Mei Biquan said calmly.

"That's enough, I know what happened ten years ago, you don't need to say it anymore, and this is my last apprentice, I naturally try my best to teach" Mei Bixue said softly, looking a little annoyed in the first two sentences.

"Okay" Mei Biquan nodded, didn't say anything more, just stood aside and watched calmly.

"Zimo, you come with me, do our business, the apprentice naturally has to have an apprenticeship" Mei Bixue said to Su Zimo, and then led the other party to the place where a spirit card was placed in the subject.

"First of all, the first step is to worship the ancestor, and our 'Mei faction' ancestor is Mei Lanfang" Mei Bixue picked up the incense on the table, took out three of them, found the lighter, and handed it to Su Zimo.

Although there was some speculation in my heart, I was still surprised and excited to know it from the other party's mouth, after all, this is a great folk artist in modern times, and since the nineties, I know that there are still good stories about each other.

After Su Zimo took it, he covered the incense with both hands, worshiped a few times reverently, and inserted it on the incense burner in front of the spirit card.

Mei Biquan, who was sitting next to her, nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Su Zimo's behavior.

Mei Bixue also nodded with a smile, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals and sat down.

Seeing this, Su Zimo naturally walked to the coffee table without being reminded by others, poured a bowl of hot and fragrant tea, picked it up, walked quickly to Mei Bixue, and handed it out, "Teacher, please drink tea"

Mei Bixue nodded, stretched out her white hands, took the fragrant tea, blew it gently, took a sip, and then put it back on the table, the whole action was smooth, without a hint of pause, and revealed an elegant atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Due to the hurry, there is no time to prepare, so everything is simple, and the link of the six rites and bundles will be omitted" I don't know if I was saying to Su Zimo or Mei Biquan.

The so-called six rites are the six kinds of gifts given to the master by the disciples during the ancient worship ceremony, which are:

Celery (meaning diligent and studious, good at diligence)

Lotus Seed (lotus seed heart bitter, meaning painstaking education)

Red beans (meaning red luck)

Red dates (meaning early and high school)

Longan (meaning merit is complete)

Dried lean pork strips (to express the disciple's heart)

After drinking tea, it represents the master-apprentice relationship between the two, and at this moment, it has been concluded.
