Chapter 809: Twisting Yangge and watching the big play
"Oh, Man'er, is this going to be sung!" Zhang Caiyun immediately said happily.
"It's not." Lian Man'er smiled and said, "This is the one who twisted Yangge." ”
"Twisting Yangge, that's also good-looking." Zhang Caiyun's interest has not diminished in the slightest, and it is even higher.
Walking on stilts and twisting Yangge is a representative and very popular form of entertainment and performance among the people of Liaodong Prefecture, especially in the countryside. One of its characteristics is that it is easy to learn with its simple steps, and of course, this only refers to the twisting of Yangge, not to the stilts.
Even Man'er can twist Yangge. It's not just her, it's their brothers and sisters. That's still learned from Zhang, a very simple cross step, or there are also called eight-character steps.
Yangge can be twisted on stilts, dressed up, or simply twisted on the ground, only need to tie a red or green silk around the waist, or hold a fan in his hand, you can twist decently and jubilantly.
Today, Lian Man'er's family not only invited the opera troupe and juggling team, but also invited a team of Yangge, which was used to warm up the scene before the opening of the banquet and the play.
"Man'er, listen to this, how lively, let's go and take a look." Zhang Caiyun discussed with Lian Man'er.
Even Man'er wanted to go out to see, but today she was the host, so she couldn't leave the guests behind and run out to play by herself no matter what. Therefore, even Man'er asked the little girls in the house if they wanted to go out to see Yangge.
"We don't have to go out, just in that cross-courtyard, the stands have been set up." Lian Man'er said with a smile.
Some of these little girls who came lived in the countryside, some lived in the city, but they were all at the age of playing and laughing, and they were more interested in this kind of rural flavor twisted Yangge than watching a play.
Lian Man'er saw that everyone was going. I was also happy, so I took the lead to come out, and a group of little girls, followed by the maiden and mother-in-law who were waiting, surrounded by each other, and went across the courtyard. On the east side, some young daughters-in-law also came out, talking and laughing. I also went to the stands to see Yangge.
The stands are set up in the courtyard, a few inches lower than the fence of the courtyard. From this stand, you can see the surrounding scenery at a glance, and you can even see the courtyard of the old house. Not to mention the open space in front of the archway in front. Tables and chairs had already been placed in the stands, and Lian Man'er and the others slowly went up to the stands along the ladder and sat down one after another, and a little girl brought a tray and sent fragrant tea and all kinds of snacks up.
The open space in front of the archway outside was already filled with people. There were also some people sitting on the seats specially set aside in front of them, the most conspicuous of which were the brothers of the Jin family.
Today, Lao Jin's family is here. However, only Lao Jin and his daughter-in-law came to the banquet, and several sons of the Jin family came to watch the show. The five brothers of the Jin family are extremely famous figures in Qingyang Town, and they will naturally not be absent from such a lively event.
There are many people coming today, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and Lian Man'er's family has arranged for people to maintain order outside. One of the most important is to look at it so that it does not stain or damage the archway of the Imperial Palace. The brothers of the Jin family arrived very early and were very active in helping to watch the scene and maintain order.
Lao Jin is famous, and the brothers of the Jin family are also known as the Five Tigers of the Jin family. They all obediently reined in their minions, and they didn't dare to fight any more ghost ideas.
So although there are many people sitting outside, talking and laughing, the order is very good, lively and not chaotic.
Because Lian Man'er is the master, unlike Zhang Caiyun, he sat down. Just stared at Yangge, and the first thing she paid attention to was the audience in front of the archway. Seeing that there were many people and good order, Lian Man'er was very satisfied. Then, naturally, his gaze fell on the Jin family brothers.
The brothers of the Jin family, as usual, were dressed very magnificently, the eldest of the Jin family to the fourth brother were all sitting there with golden knives, only Xibao was standing there, talking to the fourth brother of the Jin family with his head down.
I haven't seen him for a long time, Xibao seems to have grown taller and stronger, Xibao is wearing a dark silk robe, and a big red fur coat is draped over his shoulders.
Looking from the direction of Lian Man'er, I happened to see Xibao's side face. The tall nose with the characteristics of the Jin family and the full lips make the side face of this young man look particularly handsome.
There are men, women, and children who come today, and there are naturally many big girls and little daughters-in-law. Many shy, admiring eyes have been cast on the Jin brothers.
Among them, the fourth child of the Jin family attracted the most attention, and then, it was Xibao. The gaze projected on Xibao is different from the gaze projected on the fourth child of the Jin family.
The fourth child of the Jin family is the most handsome of Lao Jin's sons, but after all, he has already married a wife. And Xibao has reached the age when he should be married, but he has not yet been married.
The wealth of the Jin family, Xibao's own good looks and temperament, even Man'er has long known that Xibao is a young man who is very popular with little girls in ten miles and eight towns.
I don't know if I'm used to being secretly watched by such admiring eyes, Xibao doesn't seem to be aware of the gazes projected around him, and he still doesn't know what he's talking to the fourth child of the Jin family.
Lian Man'er was about to look away, when Xibao suddenly turned her head without warning. The big eyes and undisguised eyes looked straight at him like this.
Even Man'er still had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know if she should look away for a while. Over there, the fourth elder of the Jin family had already pulled Xibao to sit down.
In the noisy voices, the voice of the fourth child of the Jin family could be vaguely heard. I should have seen that the stands were all female dependents, and I thought it was rude for Xibao to look like that.
"Man'er, Man'er, look at ......" Zhang Caiyun next to him pulled the corner of Lian Man'er's clothes, and let her see the Yangge team that passed by the courtyard wall, two of them were dressed as stilts, and made an extremely difficult and beautiful somersault action, which won a round of applause.
Even Man'er's eyes and thoughts were attracted.
The Yangge team invited today is not a professional troupe and juggling troupe, but an amateur. Yangge is different from singing and juggling, singing and juggling are invited all year round, while Yangge is only available during the New Year's Festival, especially during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, in Liaodong Mansion, there are very few artists who specialize in twisting Yangge for a living.
The team invited today is the most common type of Yangge team in Liaodong Prefecture. Most of the people in this group are themselves who love Yangge, and they have twisted out the level of professional artists. Usually they have their own livelihoods, and they can do whatever they have to do, and only during the New Year's Festival will they get together to perform everywhere.
These people just love to twist Yangge, and they are happy when they twist it. Of course, it's not interesting to twist yourself, the more people you want to watch, the more people appreciate and admire, the happier they are. And while showing yourself, you can also earn some money to supplement your family, which is naturally excellent.
Lian Man'er knew that there were several in this Yangge team, and they were from the surrounding villages.
Twisting Yangge, pay attention to bright clothing, warm colors, and twist to be festive and lively. and twisted Yangge, which is also dressed up with a character similar to Shengdan Jingmo.
For example, the pair invited by Lian Man'er's family today, there are two people at the front, one is dressed as a scholar and plays Xu Xian, and the other is wearing a small jacket and skirt, with a bun, playing the role of a white lady. Generally, the leaders of the Yangge team are the best twisted.
Following behind Bai Niangniang and Xu Xian are a pair of eight people, dressed differently, which are taken from the eight immortals in folklore. After that, there was also a monk Jigong wearing a broken monk's robe, wearing a broken monk's hat, and holding a broken pu fan in his hand.
Behind him, there was a Tang monk wearing a big red robe with a dignified face, this Tang monk did not ride a horse, and he was followed by several apprentices. Wearing a golden hoop, painting a monkey face, holding a golden hoop stick, learning to walk as a monkey, and turning his head from time to time, it was Sun Wukong who won a round of applause, carrying a nail rake, flashing big ears that he didn't know what to do, with a big belly that could almost mess with it, it was Zhu Bajie, and there was a burden of luggage behind, it was Sha Monk.
After that, there was also a very skilled rowing boat in Yangge, and the Zhuang families in the thirty-mile camp also called it a dry car. This one is not on stilts, but a person is surrounded by a boat made of rolled paste, and while twisting, he has to hold the paddle made of rolled paste in his hand to make a rowing shape.
This is quite skillful because even if the ship is rolled from the lightest material, the lifting weight is not much lighter. It is not easy for an artist who rows a dry boat to carry this weight and twist while doing rowing movements.
The front and back of the rowing boat, generally followed by one or two accompanied, this does not need to step on stilts, today the left and right sides of the rowing boat are followed by two, looking like only ** years old, it is two fat babies with red rouge on their faces. Although he is young, he is very good-looking, and he circulates around the dry boat lively, attracting the attention of many audiences.
Speaking of dry boats, Lian Man'er also thought of another one that is very similar to rowing a dry boat, Zhu Bajie carries a daughter-in-law, that is actually a person, carrying a rolled daughter-in-law on his back, today in this Yangge team, Zhu Bajie carried a nail rake, followed the master and brothers, and there was no daughter-in-law.
After the dry boat, there are also two pairs of twos and twos, there are also single, and there are also several teams, playing all kinds of characters, whether it is in the legendary romance, in the opera, or in the lamp in the script, everyone is familiar with it, and you can guess what it is when you see it.
The Yangge team twisted in front of the building plaque, formed a line, and went to the village while twisting, and several children followed and entered the village.
This is what Lian Man'er requested, so that the Yangge team can perform once in the thirty-mile camp. In this way, even those villagers who can't come to see the building can see Yangge at the door of their own house. At the same time, this is also a letter to the villagers who have not yet come, the show is about to start, and if you don't go out, it will be too late. This team of Yangge will also deliberately make more stops at the door of the old mansion, which is requested by Lian Man'er's family, and specially twisted it to the old man Lian and Zhou, who can't come to the banquet and watch the play because of their health.
