13: Tick bar
The term Golan Washer should be divided into two halves. First there is the vasher, and then there is the hook bar. The tick bar is contained in the vasher. So, what is Vasher?
The so-called Washe, also known as Wazi or Washi, takes its meaning of "falling together when coming and disintegrating when leaving", and it is easy to gather and disperse. To put it simply, it is a large area of land, collectively known as Vasher. There are dancing pavilions, wine houses, fortune tellers, medicine sellers, head shaving, and so on, and connoisseurs from all walks of life will solicit business in Vashe.
In the Vashe, there are a number of "tents" dedicated to performances, which are called "hook bars". There is a stage, a backstage, and an auditorium. What's the show? Everything. Storytelling, singing, acrobatics, shadow puppetry, loose music, dance, sumo, acrobatics, and much more. And because the hook bar is roofed. Therefore, there are various performances here regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, there are various performances every day.
In a big city like Bai Yujing, there is certainly more than one Vasher. In fact, there are about twenty of all the tiles in the city. What old door tile, Sangjia tile, Liujiaqiao tile, Xizhou tile, Kangding gate tile, Beizhou tile and so on. These tiles range in size to size. The big foot has more than a dozen hook railings. The small ones also contain about four or five hook railings. Inside all night long, drums and singing and laughing, it is really a peaceful and prosperous scene of flowers and brocade and cooking oil on fire.
Xiao Jianshi led the way and led Cheng Li to the largest Sangjia Washe in Baiyujing. When you enter the Vashe, you can see that the hook bar is in the shape of plum blossom petals, and the interval is very even. This is to prevent the performance in one tick bar from disturbing the audience in the other tick bar.
Outside the gate of Vasher, there is a "sign" hanging on the sheet, indicating what actors will be there today, what program will be performed, and when it will start. It's all clear and clear at a glance. In front of the door, there are strings to block idle people from indiscriminately. Someone is selling tickets next to it.
In fact, it is not a ticket, but a small piece of bamboo. The words "A-1", "A-2", "B-1", "B-2" and so on are written on it. After the audience pays and gets the bamboo slice in their hands, they can enter the venue, and then find their seat according to the words on the bamboo slice.
Among these seats, the best one is the golden chair facing the middle of the stage. But the golden chair is reserved for the Son of Heaven to sit on. Even if the Son of Heaven may not come into this fence in his life, it is customary to leave this seat, and no one else is allowed to sit on it. The second is the "green dragon head" near the door on the left side of the stage, and the "white tiger head" near the door of the actor on the right side of the stage, which are the best positions. It is also the most expensive.
However, even the green dragon head or white tiger head in the hook bar is still nothing to Xiao Jianshi and Cheng Li. The two walked to the gate of one of the hook railings, but saw that this hook railing was a place for performing drama and dancing. On the colorful "move", the performer is indicated as Huo Fengxian.
Xiao Jianshi said with a smile: "Cheng Shao, this Huo Fengxian Huo girl, is the most famous and popular Xingyuan (drama actor) in the Sang family's Vashe, which can be called a double masterpiece of color and art. Let's just go in and take a look.
Cheng Li naturally didn't have any opinions, so he responded immediately. Xiao Jianshi then bought tickets and entered the venue with Cheng Li. It was the first-class seat on the green dragon's head.
At this time, the auditorium was not yet full. Therefore, the stage is playing a warm-up burlesque. Several clowns with makeup gag each other and taunt each other for fun. The audience who were already seated also watched with relish. The applause and applause are also one after another.
Cheng Li and Xiao Jianshi took their seats one after another. I watched the burlesque for a while. In a few moments, the audience entered one after another, and the seats were full. So a gong sounded, and the harlequins withdrew one after another. But a woman in her forties, still charming, came up with a fan in her hand, and said with a smile: "The old Bai Yujing person, Huo Wanniang's is." Now that he is old, he only relies on his daughter Fengxian to sing and dance and serve the officials. ”
Then the gong sounded again, and I saw a beautiful girl wearing a lake green shirt, apricot face and peach cheeks, and a cherry mouth and willow waist, walking on the stage to pay homage to the Quartet. Then he picked up the gong and moved, took a picture of the boundary, and read out four seven-character poems, and said: "Today's Fengxian signboard clearly writes this script, which is a romantic style, called 'The White Lady Gets Out of Trouble Leifeng Tower, and the Black Devil Embraces the Beauty and Wonderland'." Please, everybody. ”
Cheng Li couldn't help but be stunned when these two sentences came out, and asked Xiao Jianshi in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, what's going on?"
Xiao Jianshi said with a smile: "If the scripts performed by Goolan Washeri are all the same old stories, how boring would it be?
The White Lady overthrew Leifeng Pagoda to get out of trouble, and Cheng Shao got the glazed treasure, which is the hottest topic at the moment, and everyone likes to see it. It's not too surprising that this Huo Fengxian wants to perform a new script, right?"
Cheng Lishu smiled: "Yes." Okay, I'll listen carefully to see what this Huo Fengxian will perform. ”
Between the two whispering in a low voice, the performance on stage had already begun. I saw this Huo Fengxian talking and singing, singing and talking, talking and dancing. Her singing voice is like a turn, her dancing posture is staggering, and with this appearance and this figure, she is really beautiful and artistic. won the applause of the audience.
But Cheng Li was surprised and funny when he heard it, and even a little embarrassed. It's just because this set of words that Huo Fengxian said has nothing to do with the matter between Cheng Li and Xue Yanxia. It's purely borrowing the names of the two people, and creating a different story based on imagination alone.
If that's all there is to it, that's okay. However, in order to attract the audience, many fragrant plots were deliberately added to the script.
What black god king and Xiaoqing fell in love at first sight. How the two are entangled. How did the Black Evil Divine Monarch agree to Xiaoqing's request to explore the Leifeng Tower at night, and how did he talk to the suppressed White Lady. And then how to fight with all kinds of gods and monsters to rescue the White Lady. After the White Lady got out of trouble, how did she and the two sisters Xiaoqing wait for the Black Evil God Monarch to repay, what kind of paradise in the world is in the fairyland...... And so on and so forth.
The depictions are not only glamorous, but also explicit. Rapping to the tight place, that Huo Fengxian went into battle even more personally. Sometimes he plays the role of the Black Demon God Monarch and says all kinds of bastard meats. sometimes plays the role of the White Lady or Xiaoqing, tactfully and coquettishly. Wandering gasp. It makes people's blood run high. The applause became louder and louder, and the roof of the hook fence was almost torn off.
knew that it was a trick that people relied on to support their families, so although this was absurd, Cheng Li was not very angry. It's just that the more I listen to it, the more boring it becomes, it's true.
Huo Fengxian performed a while, and when he was talking wonderfully, he suddenly stopped. But according to the rules of the hook column, you want to ask the audience for rewards. She picked up the plate and walked to the audience, smiling as she handed it out. Suddenly, he was stunned. It's not because of anything else, it's just because he happened to be on the opposite side of Cheng Li.
Suddenly, even though she had always been proud of her appearance, in front of Cheng Li, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. But she is a performer, and her psychological quality is good. In the blink of an eye, it has been adjusted. Xiang Chengli said with a smile: "The door of wealth is up, the land is profitable, the auspicious land is over, the prosperous land is up, the hand is in front of you, and the rest of the religion is empty." Guest, please. ”
Cheng Li also smiled, took out another piece of money and put it on the plate. The audience sitting next to them didn't know what was going on, and after a cursory look, they thought that there was really only one copper coin, and they all felt that Cheng Li was stingy, and couldn't help but let out bursts of boos.
Huo Fengxian himself noticed that the weight of this money was unusual, and after a glance, he had already seen the truth. couldn't help but smile, bowed slightly to Cheng Li, and thanked him solemnly.
Cheng Li didn't care, nodded slightly, and waved his hand to let Huo Fengxian go to the next place to ask for a reward. Huo Fengxian was about to walk in front of Xiao Jianshi, when suddenly, on the head of the white tiger on the other side of the audience, a person stood up. He was gorgeously dressed, wearing a purple and gold crown with tied hair, a brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and cowhide fast boots on his feet, dressed like a rich and noble son.
The rich and noble man pointed at Cheng Li and scolded: "Where did you come from, do you know the rules? Miss Huo asked for a reward when she came out, and you only gave a copper coin? Who is this insulting? You are still sitting on the head of the green dragon, you are so angry." ”
When this scolding came out, Cheng Li and Xiao Jianshi were stunned, and they couldn't help but laugh. Huo Fengxian was very embarrassed, and stomped his feet and said, "Third son, what are you doing here? No matter how much you reward, it's all a thought, and the slave family will never dare to argue. Don't mess around, sit down. ”
The rich man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "I helped you ask for a reward, but how can you speak for him in turn? Ah, I know." You are a good parent. Damn, this kid is oily and powdery, and at a glance, he knows that he is relying on rhetoric to deceive his daughter's family into eating soft rice, and he is definitely not a good person. Fengxian, don't be fooled. ”
The more he said these words, the more outrageous they became, and although Cheng Li was not angry, he couldn't sit still anymore. At that moment, he hummed softly, got up and was about to go out. Seeing this, the rich and noble boy was even more angry, and shouted, "What are you leaving? Stop, come back!"
Of course, Cheng Li didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person. Ignore the moment and walk on your own. Unexpectedly, I had just taken two or three steps, and suddenly the wind sounded in my ears. A figure had already flashed over like a ghost, blocking Cheng Li's face, making him unable to move forward.
Dressed in a samurai suit, with a hawk's nose and deep eyes, and a gloomy expression, this man did not seem to be a good person. He sneered and shouted, "Childe asked you to go back." Didn't you hear?" couldn't help but say, the shot was like Cheng Li's wrist grabbing.
This shot is fast, and the momentum is strong and powerful. It is a ruthless method of dividing the muscles and bones. Once he grabbed it, his wrist would immediately be twisted and dislocated, and even his tendons could be twisted and turned into a lifelong disability. It's the most powerful.
