Chapter 54: Unintentional Willow Insertion
I ignored it, grabbed her hand, and said slowly: "Sister Ping, you help Fangxin escape, is this the benefit she gave you?" ”
"I didn't! Master! Sister Ping turned her head to look at Bai Qianqing.
Bai Qianqing's face was cloudy, and he said: "There is only one bracelet for this Diansu Zhai, and there is no other semicolon." This bracelet was given to Fang Xin by the prince of Qiuzi that day, and it is Fang Xin's favorite jewelry on weekdays, how did it get into your hands? ”
I let go of Sister Ping'er's hand and said lightly: "Because women always love beauty, even if others can't see it, they have to enjoy themselves." Knowing that Lu Dao should wait for the limelight to pass before wearing it, but unfortunately this bracelet is so beautiful that Sister Ping couldn't help but just get it from Fang Xin, so she couldn't wait to put it on. ”
Bai Qianqing said angrily: "I can't imagine that our small song and dance troupe has given birth to so many rights and wrongs, this sin is not in others, but in the people in charge." I've always been silent, but I didn't know that you had become even worse, and I couldn't stop talking! ”
Bai Qianqing looked at me and said, "Mu Lan, you can rest assured to stay, if anyone embarrasses you in the future, tell me directly." ”
I was on the spot, and I was disappointed that if she drove me away, I would be able to go back to Whitewater. If I open my mouth to leave now, will I not be said to have absconded in fear of sin? At that moment, I had to thank Bai Qianqing for saluting.
Bai Qianqing looked at Sister Ping, her phoenix eyes were cold, and her expression was displeased.
Sister Ping felt bad immediately, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The villain is guilty!" The villain is guilty! I just took Fangxin's bracelet and let her go, but I never thought that this little slut would dare to steal the master's score! ”
Sure enough, Bai Qianqing said slowly: "Drag it down, and you will lose your legs." I don't need you to serve me here anymore, you can give me as far as I can immediately, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings! ”
Sister Ping'er's body trembled violently and fell to the ground crying.
Bai Qianqing turned to the eldest aunt again and said, "I think that you have been with me for so many years, and I will demote you to the deputy steward of Xiaoyan'er, and in the future, the matter of silver money will be handed over to Yu Niang, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." If you have any objections, leave me immediately! ”
The eldest aunt breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked her.
Bai Qianqing seems to be weak and weak, but she is shrewd and decisive in doing things, which is beyond my surprise. It's just that it's even more difficult for me to go back to Whitewater City now.
Bai Qianqing looked at everyone and said: "I will perform for Prince Wuchun in three days, and the others will be put aside in advance, and now there is no score, so I can only change the tune again." ”
The eldest aunt said, "Does the master still have a piece of music to prepare?" ”
Bai Qianqing shook her head and said, "No, Fang Xin stole all the three pieces I prepared, and now I can only rearrange them immediately, I hope it's still time." ”
She looked very distressed when she spoke, and it should not be easy to make up a tune right away. Sure enough, everyone was silent, and their expressions showed an impossible look.
Bai Qianqing glanced at everyone lightly and said, "It's imperative that I start arranging music immediately, but the time is pressing, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
She waved her hand, looked tired, stood up and said, "It's all gone!" ”
After this incident, I was able to stand on my feet in the song and dance troupe. Because of Bai Qianqing's care, no one dared to provoke me, or treat me disrespectfully in words, and the matter of supporting me to serve tea and pour water never happened again.
The eldest aunt and Sister Ping are both the stewards of the song and dance troupe, and they have been fighting openly and secretly, but this time they drove Sister Ping away, and the eldest aunt can be called a bright and dark rise in the song and dance troupe.
Although Bai Qianqing no longer handed over the matter of silver money to her, after all, she is now the oldest qualified manager of the song and dance troupe, and she is considered to be the dominant party, and this right may be transferred back to her hands when it will be transferred, so she is not in a hurry.
After dinner with everyone on this day, I went back to my room to rest. As soon as I entered the house, I heard a knock on the door, I went to open the door, and the eldest aunt came in.
"What, you haven't rested yet?"
"It's time to rest." I thought to myself, what is she looking for me?
The eldest aunt sat down unceremoniously and said, "I have seen your performance in the past few days, you are a good girl, and my status in this song and dance troupe is very different from before." "I thought to myself, sure enough, it came.
She glanced at me and continued, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were a talent. I didn't expect to be able to move forward and retreat freely in front of the eldest lady today, I am more and more optimistic about you, and I will treat you as my own person in the future! ”
"Yes!" I lowered my eyebrows in response.
The eldest aunt approached me and lowered her voice and said, "I have been observing you, seeing that you are honest and have a firm mouth, I will tell you a secret, this song and dance troupe will soon be disbanded." Those in the know are all looking for a way back for themselves. ”
"What?" Bai Qianqing's song and dance troupe is famous all over the world, and how many princes and nobles beat her up and want to be included in the house. It's just that she is beautiful and talented, and she is unwilling to become a noble concubine. Now that the song and dance troupe is going to be disbanded, could it be that she has found her own way back?
The eldest aunt snorted lightly and said, "This performance in Wuchun is her last performance, and then she will go to her sweetheart..."
The eldest aunt suddenly stopped, as if she had said something that should not be said.
I pretended not to hear it, and said, "I see, everyone doesn't say it openly, but secretly they all know about it, so some people run away from time to time to plan for their future." ”
The eldest aunt looked at me deeply and said movingly, "I have been in this song and dance troupe for most of my life, and the eldest lady came to talk to me before, saying that she would give me a severance pay in the future." But this is my home, where can I go to retire! ”
"What does the eldest aunt mean?" I asked quietly, with no expression on my face.
"The eldest lady promised me severance pay because I have been with her for many years, and I have helped her make a lot of money over the years. But it was not so good for the others, who were either disbanded on the spot or became concubines of the nobles, and even more miserably lived on the streets and became prostitutes. ”
The eldest aunt continued, "I have thought about it, and when the eldest lady leaves, I will take this song and dance troupe next." In the future, you will follow me to ensure your glory and wealth! ”
It turned out that I was going to be her henchman, and I smiled dumbly, I really looked up to me. I nodded and said, "It's all up to my aunt!" ”
My aunt was overjoyed, patted me on the shoulder and said, "I know that you are a lovely person!" ”
There are only three days left until the day of the show. Bai Qianqing had been worrying about the arrangement behind closed doors yesterday, but when she had a thought on this day, she gathered everyone and demonstrated the repertoire she had arranged.
Because the original score of this "Phoenix Song" was stolen, Bai Qianqing rearranged it according to his memory, and it has been greatly changed from the original. The song and dance is prosperous, the phoenix comes to the dynasty, and the immortals come to the world.
For the first time, I saw ancient songs and dances, and there were thousands of changes on the field. And I myself am still playing a trick in it, and I am a little happy in my heart.
After watching Bai Qianqing's singing and dancing, I realized that Lu Dao, musical scores, songs, and dances are all one. In the past, when I watched dance, I only saw the protagonist who was in the limelight, but now I can enjoy it in an immersive way.
Yu Niang, one of the three stewards, led twenty women, and used some instruments such as chimes, tambourine, and brass drums that I can't name.
These ancient musical instruments make a harmonious, gentle and gentle sound under the hands of the women, and will never make people feel noisy.
Yu Niang's posture of striking the bell is even more dazzling and graceful, no wonder Bai Qianqing attaches great importance to her. Even if she is not old and has insufficient qualifications, he will leave the matter of managing the money to her.
Thirty-nine dancers, including me, danced to the music, and the eldest aunt accompanied Bai Qianqing to watch the "Phoenix Song", and exchanged views with Bai Qianqing from time to time. People who don't know the way of the road see it in their eyes, but they will never think that the eldest aunt wants to take over this song and dance troupe behind her back.
It's just that no matter how to rehearse Bai Qianqing, she felt that it was not as good as the previous dance music, and everyone practiced all morning under her command, and they were so tired that their backs and legs hurt, their faces were red and sweaty, but they didn't dare to speak.
Everyone was working hard to rehearse, and Bai Qianqing, who had been watching from above, suddenly threw a handful of incense fans in his hand to the ground, and said angrily, "Don't jump!" Don't jump! ”
Everyone stood still, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. It's no wonder that this dance is like a soul without a score. Bai Qianqing couldn't find the feeling no matter how she lined up, no wonder she was about to lose her temper.
I thought to myself, of course it's not good for you to act like this, there is no story, no plot, no tension, if I play "Romeo and Juliet", love is the eternal theme that everyone loves! Thinking like this, I don't notice that I'm wandering outside, and I'm absent-minded.
The eldest aunt stepped forward and bent down to pick up the fan, handed it to Bai Qianqing, and said, "What does the eldest lady think is wrong?" ”
Bai Qianqing didn't take the fan, her phoenix eyes swept over everyone present one by one, and when she swept in front of me, she raised her jade finger and said with a sullen face, "Mulan, what are you thinking!" What do you think of this dance? ”
Suddenly I was stunned for a moment when my name was called, and it was a bit of a reproach to me when I was asked to say this. I also couldn't tell her I was thinking about Romeo and Juliet.
I had to reply, "I'm thinking about ......" and said, "Why don't you make up the lyrics for each dance to express a different plot." The climax is brought by the main song at the end, and a complete story is synthesized? ”
Bai Qianqing's delicate body trembled uncontrollably, a pair of beautiful eyes were brilliant, and the apricot eyes that couldn't believe it looked at me.
I felt different, and when I saw her expression, I was embarrassed and said, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it to heart." ”
Bai Qianqing still couldn't make a sound.
This time it was my turn to shake my heart. Suddenly realized.
For people in the 21st century, it is not uncommon for people to express a certain plot or story through song and dance, which is a common technique in all operas.
