Chapter 137: The End of the Song Ends
Ling Yun sat on the second floor, watched the whole "Sifan", listened to the babbling words in his ears, and could only understand a few sentences occasionally, but fortunately, there was a mixture of reading in the middle, and his speech was clear, so that he probably understood the story told in this scene.
Ziruo listened to the drama obsessively next to her, she grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and she listened to no less than a hundred plays, and she could hear the good or bad singing at once, but she didn't expect that in a remote border place like Jingnan, she could also hear such a Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme play, and she couldn't help but be intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself, especially when she heard "The night is deep, lie alone, and when you get up, sit alone." Who is there who is lonely like me? Like this, why do you cut your hair?"
Ling Yun saw her strange expression, and hurriedly wiped her tears, and said, "Why are you still crying when you listen to the play?"
"I didn't ...... I'm fine, it's just that the play is well sung, and I hear it reminded me of some things from the past. Ziruo said.
"Do you remember that if you didn't listen to my advice and became a nun, and today you want to Sifan, crying on stage here in a pitiful place, and your heart is sad, so you shed tears?" Ling Yun smiled evilly.
Ziruo burst into tears, laughed, hammered him with his fist, and said: "If you become a nun, you can still Sifan, go down the mountain, wait until you fall asleep one day, let you be a eunuch, see if you dare to laugh at me!"
Ling Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth, scratched the tip of her nose, and said in a low voice: "That thing, cut off, maybe like a leek, but the longer it is cut, the longer it is, the longer it grows." ”
"Shameless!" Zi Ruo scolded angrily, seeing that his words were becoming more and more obscene, his face was blushing, and he turned around and ignored him, for fear that he would say more shameless words.
There are a few plays on the stage in turn, there are many dramas and dramas today, and there are few martial arts, followed by "Yutang Chun" and "Du Shi Niang" and other songs, which just implicitly coincide with the meaning of Oiran redemption, but Yutang Chun has a happy ending, the heroine is free from the wind and dust and Ruyi Langjun looks together, but Du Shi Niang is angry and sinks into the treasure chest, and the ending is tragic.
Fortunately, most of the people in the audience are full of poetry and books, listening to these literary dramas, they are not only patient, but also able to understand the meaning of lyrics and songs, and carefully touch the taste, even if there are some gentlemen, in order to be vassally and elegant, they will applaud on the surface when they feel bored in their hearts, and they will not applaud openly, but they will appear to be vulgar and uncultured.
For example, Wu Yicun, where is he used to hearing these literary dramas, if he usually sees a scene on the street or at a temple fair that does not turn his heels, or fights and kills, he has already coaxed the stage up, but unfortunately Shi Gui next to him is very involved and fascinated by watching the play, so his face shows an intoxicated look, in fact, he doesn't know what the words of the play are talking about.
At the end of the song, the drama is sung, the people leave, the prosperity is over, the stage is empty, and the spectators are confused.
Countless people in the audience closed their eyes, intoxicated by the famous singer's voice, "It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they are all paid with broken wells and ruins, and the beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, and the courtyard is happy." Flying towards the twilight roll, the clouds and clouds, the rain silk wind piece, the smoke wave painting boat, Jinping people look at this Shaoguang cheap", chewing the taste of the play, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and I can't come back to my senses for a long time.
This is a scene in Tang Xianzu's masterpiece "The Peony Pavilion", called "Dream", which is about a wealthy family as deep as the sea, and Du Liniang, the daughter of a rich family, saw that the garden was accompanied by a broken well and a broken wall, no one appreciated it, and the beautiful scenery of the good day passed by in the air, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic for my own experience, touching the scene, and sighing for the empty passing of Shaohua.
As soon as the old bustard appeared, it broke everyone's dream, and his voice was as sharp as a crow, and he laughed and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have spent a lot of money to buy an entrance seat here today, even if it is on the second floor, the price is one level lower than that of the first floor, originally it was just to watch the excitement, but now as long as you make up the difference, you can participate in the bidding of the Oiran lady for a while." ”
After a pause, the old bustard continued: "I don't need to introduce the Oiran lady Mei Niang, I'm afraid that many masters in the audience know better than me, on talent and learning, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, on appearance, sinking fish and geese and closing the moon and shy flowers, on virtuous women, red sleeves add incense to candle night reading, on kung fu, hehe, all of you who have fought in bed, which one doesn't know the taste of ecstasy, do you still need me to talk about it in detail?"
Wu Yicun sat in the audience and said loudly: "I haven't enjoyed it, can I try the goods now before buying?"
"What this official said is wrong, from a good day, it is the time to redo the Huanghua girl, since she is the Huanghua girl, she should marry all the courtesy, where is there a trial of goods?"
The old bustard glanced at the audience, with a smile on his face, and when he saw that no one came forward to make trouble, he said, "Bring the bride out!"
Qinglou has a good rule since ancient times, the so-called "go to the sea to tie the red line, from the good to break the green silk", that is, when falling into the dust, tie a red line on the body, which means to leave the last trace of dignity for yourself, and when you leave the sea of bitterness, you must cut off a lock of green silk, and from then on cut off all contact with the dirty Qinglou, and follow the beloved back to live a good life with peace of mind.
Behind the stage, two little maids held a phoenix crown and a bride dressed in red, all of them came to the stage, with very small steps, golden lotus and jade feet, hidden from time to time under the hem of the red skirt, wearing a red hijab, covering the gorgeous appearance.
The audience held their breath and concentrated, although many of them had intersected in the past, but they all knew that this Oiran lady had a cold personality, and it was extremely difficult to meet her, if you wanted to kiss Fangze, not only would it cost a lot, but also she must not be too ugly and vulgar, otherwise she would not be able to enter her eyes, others were choosing prostitutes, and she was choosing customers.
Therefore, many spectators who have tasted it are eager to try it, even if tens of thousands of taels marry her back, it is worth it, and the ecstasy night is endless.
The old bustard held Mei Niang's white jade hand and said: "Today's redemption is good, don't say the bid, just say how much gift money you pay, the girl is like a wandering duckweed, there is no mother's family, my Wanxian Lou is the girl's maiden family, if it is not good for her to marry back in the future, my mother's family can not agree, no matter how much today's gift money, it is all heart, you may wish to say how much gift money you have prepared to marry my girl." ”。
"10,000 taels!" shouted loudly in the audience, everyone thought that it would start with a few thousand taels, but they didn't expect that the old bustard did not set a minimum price, but there was a reckless man among the spectators, who suddenly raised the money to a height of 10,000 taels, and they were all shocked, and when they looked back, the person who shouted 10,000 taels was a stunned young man, and no one knew him.
In fact, this is just the old bustard's usual trick, if you set a minimum bid, but it seems that you have no confidence in the Oiran lady, the price will not be too high, if you install a person of your own in the crowd, pretend to be a spectator, as soon as you open your mouth to pay a high price, and then the price increase may not be less, this is a boastful trick.
