Chapter 65: Blending into the Theater
Since I promised Yan Yi to help him kill the king of Cangnan and avenge the Yan clan, I must do it. However, I am not without selfishness, Cangnan and Wuchun and other departments are listed as the four great kings of Yuexi.
Now that the Akatsuki vitality in the Four King Kongs is seriously injured, and Queen Wuchun is seriously injured by her eldest son Xia Lieyang, these two are no longer enough to trouble. If I can take the opportunity to destroy Cangnan, of course I am happy to see it happen.
The plan in my heart is to take advantage of the delicate relationship between the king of Cangnan and the prince to make a fuss. King Cangnan was lustful, and after marrying the side concubine Anya Yu, he became increasingly cold to the queen and the prince's mother and son. In addition, Anya Yu has just given birth to a little prince for King Cangnan, and the prince's position is even more precarious.
But how to do it to the prince is a problem, when Yan Yi's family had an accident and was wiped out by King Cangnan, their three brothers and sisters were still young and were rescued by the servants who risked their lives. Therefore, the Cangnan royal family didn't know Yan Yi.
My idea is to let Yan Yi go to the prince, but how to enter the prince's mansion is a worrying problem. In order to find this breakthrough, I have been bored with Yan Yi in the theater garden for several days.
Yan Yi said: "Will the prince come here?" ”
I sat in the second floor in the house, looked down at the play that was being played below, and said, "I heard that the prince likes to watch plays, and he often comes here. ”
I watched the babbling and singing in the audience and felt quite bored. The ancient drama came and went to tell the story of loyalty and filial piety, not like the children's love played in modern TV. Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed through me, and I suddenly had a bold idea.
I turned to Yan Yi and said, "You go and call the owner of the garden, I have something to tell him." ”
Yan Yi was puzzled: "Do you want to ask the owner of the garden, when will the prince come?" ”
I shook my head: "I want to wait for the rabbit!" ”
After the boss came, the attitude was quite deferential, we watched the play in this garden every day for the past few days, and the reward was quite generous, and the boss seemed to treat us as a distinguished guest.
The boss lowered his head and said, "I don't know what your guests have to say?" ”
I said, "Boss, how is your garden business?" ”
The boss said: "The left and right are just mixed meals, and they all rely on the rewards of the guests on weekdays, but there are a lot of actors in the garden, and it is not easy to feed so many mouths!" ”
I said, "Boss, what do you think if I show you a clear path and make your garden the most famous troupe in Cangnan?" ”
The boss looked up and said in surprise, "What does this mean?" ”
I took out a piece of gold and put it on the table, which was actually all my belongings. I pretended to be mysterious and said, "Do you know who is the most famous dancing girl in the west of the road?" ”
The boss stared at the gold and said without thinking: "Naturally it's Bai Qianqing, could it be you?" ”
I smiled, I didn't mix in Bai Qianqing's dance troupe for a few days, and now I even used her signature fox fake tiger to become powerful. I said: "I am an old acquaintance with Bai Qianqing, and you naturally know how she dances." I've been observing your theater for a few days, and I think your team is a good material. ”
The boss looked at me, then at the ingot of gold on the table, and suddenly gave me a long salute: "Thank you, girl, for lifting up!" ”
The boss led me into the backyard of the theater and summoned all the girls in the theater to cast me. I paced among a dozen girls, and it didn't seem like I could pick the right lead.
I have seen the most beautiful women in this era, the first three is Empress Wei, if she really wishes with the mysterious Bailiang Temple, and the women in this garden are not as beautiful as Er'er, not even one-tenth of the above three. I sighed, "Is this the only person in the boss?" ”
The boss nodded: "All the people in this team are here, are you satisfied?" ”
I shook my head, the stunning woman is naturally not so easy to find, but I can't just give up, it's better to get out the show first, and then see if there is anything to be made among these people.
After making up my mind, I told my boss about the play I wanted to rehearse. When the boss heard this, he first looked confused, then opened his mouth wide, and finally bowed to me again and again to express his admiration.
In order to facilitate the rehearsal, I decided to stay in the garden here. Yan Yi asked, "What exactly is the play you told the boss to rehearse?" How come you've never heard this story before? ”
I rehearsed the ancient Greek myth "Iocasta", who was the mother of King Odipus in ancient Greek mythology, who was cursed by fate and was abandoned by his father because he was rumored to marry his mother and bring disaster.
Later, Oedipus was adopted, killed his father without his knowledge, and by solving the mystery of the Sphinx, he replaced his father as king and married Iokasda, his mother.
God condemned the kingdom ruled by Oedipus for this crime, and later Oedipus sought the truth from the oracle and went into exile blindly, and his mother Iokasda committed suicide.
The reason why I chose such a story is to test the prince with a play like a son's father's revenge. This mythical tale of ancient Greece has been reinvented by me into a story of a prince who is robbed of his beloved by his father and then killed his father.
I said to Yan Yi: "I deliberately used such a show to test the prince, if I succeeded, I would definitely be able to sneak into the prince's mansion smoothly." It's a pity that I haven't been able to choose a suitable protagonist until now! ”
Yan Yi sighed: "I didn't expect you to know Bai Qianqing, who is famous all over the world, if someone is selected from her dance troupe, she will definitely be able to take on this great responsibility." ”
Thinking of Bai Qianqing, who was like a dancing elf, I don't know who she went to take refuge in as soon as she said goodbye to Wuchun?
As I was talking, I caught a glimpse of a figure in the garden looking at me with a ghostly head, and I glanced at Yan Yi, who immediately understood, stood up suddenly, and pulled out the person hiding behind the bushes. Seeing this person, Yan Yi and I were both taken aback: "Xiaolian? ”
Yan Xiaolian looked at us with a hippie smile: "Brother, Sister Mulan, I am looking for you so hard!" ”
I looked Yan Xiaolian up and down, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, cherry mouths a little bit, willow thin waist pen tube, speaking swallow warbler voice. It's like a good seedling!
Yan Xiaolian was furious by me, and said puzzledly: "Sister Mulan, my face is dirty?" With that, he wiped his face with his hand.
I took her hand and asked, "Xiaolian, why are you here?" Didn't I tell Yan Xun to take a good look at you? ”
Yan Xiaolian said: "Second brother is stupid, how can you look at me?" ”
Yan Yi immediately thought of what I was thinking, he shook his head and said, "Xiaolian can't!" ”
It's not that I don't know that Yan Xiaolian can't, she is such a cute and beautiful girl, no one will bear to push her into danger. There are only three brothers and sisters left in the Yan family, and if they want to take revenge and take another sister, Yan Yi will never want to.
I sighed and said, "Xiaolian, your eldest brother and I have important things to do, you hurry home!" You sneaked out like this, how worried your second brother should be! ”
Yan Xiaolian pouted and said, "I just came out because I was afraid of your danger, but I just saw you teaching the girls in the garden to act, I saw it fun, I won't go back!" ”
Yan Yi has been baby this sister since she was a child, and there is no way for her to be coquettish, let's take a look, as long as we keep an eye on her, it will be fine if we don't let her join this show!
But I didn't think that everything is about cause and effect. Everything in the world is predestined, and the origin and extinction are all destined. Who can stop fate? Who can resist what is meant to happen?
After the repertoire was written, it was a great success. Within a few days, the entire Cangnan ran to tell each other. If you want to see this play, you have to book it in advance, and you don't have the money to see it.
I set a price for my boss to sell tickets at a high price, and I only received ten guests a day. Those who do not have a reservation will not be accommodated, regardless of how much money you pay. For a while, this play was so hyped that everyone who watched it applauded, while those who couldn't book a position were annoyed.
And the two protagonists who starred in this play have also become the hottest dramas in Cangnan, and their worth has increased dozens of times compared with the original. The boss was more polite and deferential to me, lest I no longer help him rehearse the play, so I took the opportunity to propose to take the Yan brothers and sisters who had been living in the post station into the garden to live, and the boss agreed.
On this day, the boss came to me sweating profusely: "Girl, it's not good, Shi Niang ran away!" ”
I was taken aback: "What? "Shi Niang is the protagonist I selected, and she is the pillar of this troupe. Unexpectedly, she just became famous through this play, so she didn't say goodbye.
The boss stomped his feet and said: "This Shi Niang, her heart is higher than the sky, and she always wants to climb high branches." used to be a humble person, but now that she is popular, she has become a concubine. Ay! How can this be born? ”
I said, "In that case, choose another one to be the protagonist." ”
The boss hurriedly said: "It's too late, the prince's mansion sent someone to spread the word, and the prince is going to come to see the play today!" ”
I almost knocked over the teacup in my hand, I didn't expect that Prince Cangnan, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, would pick this time to come to the door!
At this time, Yan Xiaolian, who was standing beside me, stood up with a red face and said, "Sister Mulan, do you think I can do it?" ”
I turned my head in surprise to look at her, who had been with me for the past few days, and who I had never shied away from when I was rehearsing, because I had made up my mind not to let her participate in the play.
Yan Xiaolian cleared her throat and opened her mouth to sing a paragraph: "The gentleman is old together, and the deputy is Liujia." The commission is like a mountain and a river. Elephant clothing is appropriate. The son is not ladylike, what is the cloud? ”
My body was shocked, Yan Xiaolian sang much better than the original Shi Niang. After singing, she blushed and lowered her head, and asked me softly, "Sister Mulan, I have learned everything they sing, can I go up and try it?" ”
I bit my lip and didn't speak, the boss looked at Yan Xiaolian as if he was looking at the baby, and said excitedly: "Miss Yan sings so well, you can be the pillar of my troupe!" ”
