Shang Xiu'er finally met the large number of people hired by Xiao Liuye in the outer house, there are more than 20 men and women in various professions, and the five lamps are inside, Shang Xiu'er often sees him at Master Liang on weekdays, although she feels a little apprehensive to let such a superb martial artist play for her, but she finally has an acquaintance.

There are also the masters of the band, Shang Xiuer has also met once, that is, those people who auditioned on Guanyin Stage, and the chief leader of the band team is Gu Jusheng, the middle-aged drum master who once mentioned her, and also undertakes the task of making music in Ming Opera.
A master with two apprentices is responsible for the outfit, clothing and props, Shang Xiu'er only knows that everyone is very respectful to call him "Master Cheng", it is said to be a family heirloom, although he is old, but his heart and eyes are very flexible, and the things he makes are beautiful, delicate and sturdy, even Xiao Liuye is extremely polite to him.
The whole team in charge of things happens to be surnamed Guan, known as "Guan Touer", who has followed many drama troupes, and is extremely experienced in handling mundane affairs and dealing with people, and Shang Xiuer also met the courtesy.
What made Shang Xiu'er happiest was that Master Gu and Master Liang were also there, and what surprised her the most was that the two Master Yue were also there!
By the time Xiao Liuye finished introducing Shang Xiu'er one by one, more than an hour had passed, and this was actually a complete and meticulous drama team!
Shang Xiu'er has stayed in the Peony Society, and compared with the lineup prepared by Xiao Liuye, it is really the difference between heaven and earth!
Xiao Liuye was quite proud, looked at Shang Xiu'er's dumbfounded appearance, and said, "Such a team is only formed by me in the whole world." ”
Yes, who would have the courage to invite two calligraphers and painters to sit in a troupe?
Shang Xiu'er was sincerely happy for Xiao Liuye.
This set of teams is not made up temporarily, some of them have been following Xiao Liuye, and some of them were taken into his pocket by Shang Xiu'er soon after he entered Xiao Yuan, how lucky he is to have such a group of like-minded people!
Shang Xiuer thought that she was also lucky to have such a team that was specially composed for the promotion of Ming Opera.
However, luck alone is not enough.
Shang Xiu'er could keenly feel that when Xiao Liuye introduced her to them as the head of the class, most of the people just nodded calmly, and they all had scrutinizing eyes in their eyes, and even when they looked at Xiao Liuye, they all had doubts.
As if asking, "Who is she?" Is she okay? ”
Shang Xiu'er can fully understand the thoughts of these people, after all, she was originally a little-known little girl, not to mention that she has lived in Xiao Yuan for the past two years, and she has long stopped acting, let alone has no reputation.
But perhaps because of Xiao Liuye's insistence from beginning to end, and his leisurely attitude in everyone's whispered discussions, Shang Xiu'er was not worried at all, if Xiao Liuye thought she could, then she would definitely be able to!
After that introduction, Shang Xiu'er finally got a new book from Xiao Liuye, such a thick one, and she could finally open her voice and practice singing.
She felt the weight of her hand, and suddenly felt like crying.
Shang Xiu'er raised his eyes to look at Xiao Liuye, he leaned back on the chair he sat on weekdays, and a charcoal basin with red copper was placed next to him, surrounded by a warm jacket, and his expression was slightly haggard.
She swept over the lamps on the table that had not yet had time to be replaced, and the candles were long gone, only a pile of candle tears spread out on the lamp plate, and the brush on the pen holder had dried up.
She couldn't help but open the play book in her hand, each page was covered with dense ink, new and old, and the last few pages were slightly damp.
Obviously, before handing over this book to her this morning, Xiao Liuye was still revising it.
Shang Xiu'er took a step forward, brought the milk simmering next to the smoker to the table, filled it with charcoal, and said, "Sixth Master, I will do it well." You...... You don't have to work too hard. ”
Xiao Liuye smiled, kneaded his eyebrows with his hand, and said, "You always have to be cautious in the first play. Go back and get ready. ”
Shang Xiu'er heard that his voice was already nasal, and she also hoped that he would take care of his body and make up for sleep later, but she still asked one more question: "Sixth Master, what else do you have to teach me?" ”
Xiao Liuye closed his eyes and said, "There is nothing to teach you, you just need to remember that you are the class leader." ”
Shang Xiu'er nodded solemnly and retreated gently.
Sheng'er was waiting there outside the door, and when he saw Shang Xiu'er coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, Shang Xiu'er looked back at the house, and said softly: "Things are not in a hurry to clean up, milk to help you sleep, wait for the sixth master to drink and lie down for a while, explain that you will make something to nourish your spirit and satisfy your hunger, and wait for the sixth master to wake up and eat." ”
Sheng'er entered the house, and saw Xiao Qian slumped on the chair, and he didn't drink milk, and his dozing neck was crooked into a weird look, as if he was going to sleep to death, and he didn't care about letting him drink, so he helped him to get into bed, took off his boots, and covered the quilt, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "When did we, our pampered master, have been so tired?" ”
Shang Xiu'er returned to Yingyuan, holding the play book like a treasure in her hand, and as soon as she entered the house, she couldn't even take off her coat, so she hurriedly looked at it, and Master Gu said angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry?" I changed my clothes first, and the room was warm, so I was careful of sweating and getting cold. ”
Shang Xiu'er suddenly remembered something, looked at Master Gu with a pair of eyes, and said eagerly, "Master Gu, can I sing now?" Can you? ”
Master Gu laughed and said, "Yes, since Sixth Master Xiao has spoken, what am I not allowed to do?" It's just that you have to be familiar with the tune as I said, and it's okay to hum it gently, but if you want to sing it, you have to open your voice first. ”
"Yes, yes." Shang Xiu'er nodded busily in response, and Ren Qingyu, like a marionette, took off her coat, but her eyes never left the book.
There are four very beautiful big characters on the playbook, "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang".
This is an auspicious sentence, and the name of this play sounds very festive, Shang Xiuer watched it, but it was a small drama called "Liu Bei Recruiting Relatives" that was sung by the generation in Wu County.
Although the story is familiar, Shang Xiuer still read it carefully word by word, the notes in the book are extremely detailed, and there are many characters, each with its own characteristics, but it is not redundant; The lyrics are good, but they are not so elegant that the people can't appreciate them.
It's just that when the sky is already dark, Shang Xiu'er hasn't even read Sun Shangxiang's appearance, and can't help but be a little anxious, Master Gu has already urged dinner a few times, and Shang Xiu'er had to hastily turn a few pages back to see Sun Shangxiang's recitation and lyrics.
Shang Xiu'er almost immediately became obsessed with such a tune!
