Chapter 54: Ascending to the Theater
Yue Qi said in a sullen voice while fiddling with the chess pieces: "People say that they can learn dragon slaying techniques, and the goods are with the emperor's family, have you ever seen it sold to the county commander's family?" I also said that it was redundant for Xiao Liuye to let the two of me follow, and it seemed that I was fortunate to follow. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info otherwise you can go out of Huodu, one village and one singing, one town and one singing! If Xiao Liuye knew that his baby Ming Opera team would be reduced to a grass stage team in the first scene, I am afraid that he would not vomit a mouthful of old blood? โ
Yue Lin said: "Okay, don't say it." I think she understands, so let's go back to my room and be quiet. โ
Shang Xuesleeve bit her lip lightly, but still respectfully saluted the two Yue masters, and returned to the house.
She exhaled heavily and sat down on the bed, looking at the swaying tassels.
When she set off from Huodu to the north, she had a dream on the first night on this ship, as if she had returned to the ship of the Peony Society, and Green Peony was sitting in her cramped room, but with a very proud look on her face, she said: "Only the top brand can have its own room!" "The room really only had room for a small bed and a small stool, and that was it, and it was the envy of the rest of the society, including herself.
When she woke up from her dream and saw the room she was in, she had mixed feelings.
Although Shang Xue's room is small, it is exquisitely arranged, the room is clean and warm by Qingxian and Qingpei, the long tassels of light gauze curtains are hooked on the bed, and the small mahogany table at the head of the bed rests the book she reads on weekdays. She opened the heavy curtains, and a splash of bright color immediately came through the carved mahogany window, in front of which was a long table, full of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a bottle of morning lotus stuck in the bottom of the wardrobe against the foot of the closet, which filled the dull process of sailing with some life.
While honing her skills, isn't Xiao Liuye slowly eliminating the traces of embarrassment and inferiority left on her body by having no fixed place, wandering around, and even being cornered?
And today, at the moment when she said to sing on stage, after Master Dayue spoke, she found that her embarrassment and inferiority complex had been lurking in her body, and they were about to pop up from time to time.
This shouldn't be, even the green peony back then, it was all high and confident!
Could it be that Ming drama is bad? Not really! In time, Ming Opera will really be as Xiao Liuye said, and eventually integrate and replace the southern and northern operas, and become popular all over the world!
Could it be that your skills are not enough? Nor is it ...... In the time that Xiao Yuan and Xinyin Club have been together, they have become more and more convinced of themselves.
Is it because they are worried that people who don't sing in the whole society will starve to death? Even the original Peony Club allowed her to save dozens of silver.
So what is she worried about all the time?
After being stunned for a while, Shang Xuesleeve got up and came to the table, poured some water into the inkstone, and slowly grinded the ink.
From getting the first Ming script to now, she has been busy pondering and studying things in the play.
She hadn't read any of the books on the side except for the playbook, and she hadn't ever painted anything other than drawing new styles of costumes.
She seems to have overlooked something very important.
Although the two Yue masters no longer taught her, if she continued like this, she would go backโshe would return to the previous woman who had narrow vision, short vision, and was only satisfied with one scene and two scenes.
Writing is the most calming for her, she wanted to look at the script and write some notes, but in the end she unfolded a piece of rice paper and slowly and seriously silently wrote a post, which was "Mencius? Wholeheartedly".
She looked at the sentence "Those who look at the sea are difficult to be water", Xiao Liuye and Ming Opera are not exactly the case for her? And if she wants the world to appreciate the infinite charm of this "sea", she should pass on her art confidently and proudly, rather than humbly and praying.
Shang Xuesleeve suddenly remembered that he didn't know when, Xiao Liuye had said that the song should not be sung lightly.
When the post was finished, she had already thought very thoroughly, so she took the letter again, and wrote it carefully, after three or four pages, she wrote very respectfully, "I hope that the sixth master will take care, and the time will teach", and finally, cautiously fell on the words "Shang Xue sleeve".
This disagreement, which no one else knew about, ended with Shang Xue's concession, and until she reached Sioux City, she did not say anything about where to stop the boat or where to sing.
Guan Tou'er once came to inquire, but the reply he got was also to ask him to discuss with the two Mr. Yue, as the head of the class, Shang Xuesleeve needed to concentrate and choose the first play.
Yue Qi and Yue Lin knew that Shang Xuechong had sent a letter back, and seeing that she was no longer a councilor, they only said that she had made an awkward trouble, and eighty percent wrote a letter to complain. But I couldn't think about it at the moment, so I had to take a sticker out and hand it to the head of the pipe and said: "This place in Sucheng was originally taken by the sixth master, and even the theater has already been thought of." Since Shang Xuesleeve listens to our full decision, then you go to the post to negotiate - it's just the same, the sixth master really values Miss Shang, although he doesn't give her any help on the surface, but he is really afraid that if she doesn't hit the first shot, it will have an impact on her ambition in the future, so he has already prepared a handwritten post, and once this post is handed over, it should be foolproof, just don't let Miss Shang know. โ
How did Shang Xuesleeve know that the three of them had misunderstood him, and his stomach was crooked?
Just don't care about this matter, there are still a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in the Xinyin Club, and the two brothers and sisters of Li Yufeng have to find a doctor to take a good look; Also, all the way up the river, the moisture on the water surface is too heavy, and the cage must be opened to see if there is any resurgence in the troupe; The drama should be more cautious, she and Ma Ziliu have been discussing for a few days, just waiting for Li Yufeng to adjust his state...... Anyway, she was already a little anxious, so she didn't have the leisure to enjoy the bustle of the Sioux City street market and the already slightly northern-style gardens.
Although Sucheng was originally small, but it was the first city that went to Beijing to the south and walked through the Anjiang Pass, Anjiang Pass is the pass, and there are heavy guards all the year round, and the general people who come and go from the south to the north are not willing to stay there, but would rather walk a little more to settle in Sucheng. Correspondingly, those who go north will also make a stop in Sioux City before entering the customs. Therefore, the most in Sioux City are inns and restaurants, one race is lively, and the locals basically rely on doing business for outsiders to make a living.
There are three slightly famous theaters in Sioux City, Rongsheng, Chunrong, and Manfu.
Among them, the scale of the Rongsheng Theater is the largest, and this is also the theater that Xiao Liuye thought of in advance.
