Chapter 101: The Dissipating Past
At this time, Shang Xuesleeve stood under the tree, looking at a stage from a distance, and his face under the hat showed a mixture of joy and sorrow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She didn't know how she had hired the carriage so calmly and let it pull her here.
The stage has been mottled, faintly on one side of the pillar to reveal the three big characters "Celebrate the harvest", there is not even a curtain behind the stage, let alone the curtain of "out of the general" and "into the phase", only the broken and crumbling earthen wall behind the red brick color, if you carefully identify, it has been painted with brightly colored paint to draw a majestic picture of the gods - but the gods have long been blurred.
There are no tables and chairs under the stage, this is just a social drama stage in the village, I don't know how many stages like this there are in the world, but there is only this one place in Shang Xuesleeve's memory.
There is actually a very small grass stage team singing a big drama on it.
The peasant pawns at the bottom of the stage stood in a dense row, and beside them were a number of peasant women, who commented on the characters in a rough voice.
Oh, and the little ones, who don't pay attention to what they're singing on stage, just frolicking around the small business vendors to buy candy to eat – just like the Xiu'er and Zhu'er in their memories.
Xiu'er nine years ago used to be a little girl who played around the stage and didn't know sorrow as long as she was full.
At that time, she never imagined that one day she would form an indissoluble bond with the stage - but she had lost so much, so much.
Yes, she has long forgotten the face of Zhu'er, and even almost forgot Zhu'er's name, she stood under the tree, unconsciously stretched out her hand, as if Zhu'er was beside her, she patted the soft hair on the small round face, bought him candy to eat, let him play obediently under the tree, don't move, and go home to find her father and mother when the play is over.
Shang Xuesleeve was standing under the tree, not even daring to look back, on the other side of the stage, it was Xiao Shanghe.
In the year that Daddy Hu went, she listened to Daddy Hu's words on his deathbed and returned here. At that time, she asked everywhere and asked everywhere, but now, she doesn't even have the courage to look backwards.
The side of the Xiaoshang River has long since changed.
She felt a little tightness on her face, and she didn't know when the wind picked up and dried the tears on her face, so she covered her face with her hands, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
Everything about the past has been lost.
A familiar tune came over, and Shang Xuesleeve blinked his slightly uncomfortable eyes, only to notice that a fold of "The Pipa Story" was actually being played on this stage, and it was still a Ming opera! The vocal cavity is not very authentic, and there are a few places where I sing wrong, and the skills are not exquisite. Although I also imitated the water sleeves of the new music club, I just don't know what kind of fabric the water sleeves are, and they are not smooth at all, but they are a little like rags.
Even so, it aroused bursts of applause from the audience.
The singing voice was almost covered by the applause, and a trace of it came into Shang Xue's ears, she thought it was so beautiful, Ming Opera, just like the spring flowers all over the mountains in spring, with the spring breeze passing through, it opened all the way from south to north.
It wasn't until the evening that Shang Xuesleeve returned to his residence, which made Qinghuan anxious, served dinner, and kept counting in his mouth: "Where will the girl go in the future, you have to ask someone to follow, what if something happens, your heart is too big, how dare you walk blindly in this unfamiliar place?" ”
Shang Xuesleeve listened with a smile, her heart was actually not big, except for the Ming drama, there was only a little place to pretend to be the past; It's not that she is unfamiliar here, or that she was familiar a long time ago, but now, it's really strange.
After dinner, Shang Xuesleeve invited the head of the pipe over and said, "Inquire about it, there is a theater here, let's perform here for two days." ”
The head of the pipe was puzzled: "This place ...... It's too small. ”
Shang Xuesleeve said: "It's okay, I don't plan to let the corners take the stage in person, the small place is just for the children to practice their hands, and the seat money can be discussed." ”
The head of the pipe agreed, and said, "That's fine." Many of the characters appeared on stage at the age of seven or eight, and some of them were talented and became popular at the age of nine or ten. ”
"yes." Shang Xuesleeve said a little melancholy: "You are right. ”
It is rare for Zhu Zhen to have any decent troupe to perform, and there is no decent theater, only an open-air stage in the center of the town, and no one manages it.
In the past, they all came to the team, staged on stage, and then beat the gong to collect money, anyway, it wasn't the horns who ended up by themselves, and the head of the pipe didn't think there was anything wrong.
These children started from the beginning in the Xinyin Club, and if they are not careful, they are easy to become arrogant, which is a big problem, and they can practice here, so that they can experience the difficulties of ordinary troupes.
The three girls in Shang Xue's cuff gave her names: Chunfeng, Chunyu, Chunhua, now she calls it that, and when she becomes famous in the future, she can add her surname, which is a serious stage name.
This group of children is the first batch of disciples accepted by the Xinyin Society, because they are the teachers who worship when they go south in the spring, so even if they are the spring generation, the other children are named like this, although these children know that no one has learned drama with the masters of the Xinyin Society before them, but when Master Liang and the master of the business class announced that they were the first generation of apprentices, and gave them names, all of them were excited and their little faces turned red - for the poor who could not afford to raise themselves and had to come out to become apprentices, this is a craft, I'm going to eat with this in the future!
Although Chunyu Chunhua and Shang Xuesleeve's time was slightly shorter, they brought it for a while, which could be regarded as a small improvement, so they let the three of them discuss it with other junior brothers.
For the first time, more than a dozen children decided what play to play on their own, and wanted to use the play to make money, and they all forgot their difficulties when they were excited, chattering non-stop, and finally rehearsed several plays such as "Female Solution" and "Visiting Mother", and in two nights, everyone had a share.
The eldest *** Mao, who sang with a flower face, came over and respectfully reported to Shang Xuesleeve and said: "It is divided into two nights, the first day of the performance, the others will help make the trick, and the second day of the performance, the first day of the person will help." It's just that I have to trouble the masters to help put on makeup, and I'm afraid that the size of the costume is not appropriate, so I don't know what to do. ”
Shang Xuesleeve said: "It's okay to do this, there are some discarded clothes, just change it." ”
Chunmao said again: "We also made a bet to see if there was more money the first night or the next night." ”
Shang Xuesleeve laughed and said, "Okay, then I will also beckon the masters to watch the play below, and whoever plays well will be rewarded more!" ”
Chunmao Fang's little face flushed. (To be continued.) )
