Since Guo Jia returned to Yedu, he has only appeared twice in Han Zhan's state mansion, and then he stayed in his mansion, drinking and having fun every day. And Han Zhan himself was busy rehearsing Huangmei Opera, and he didn't call him.

I didn't see Han Zhan summoning him for a day or two, and Guo Jia didn't care too much. But for half a month, Han Zhan never sent anyone to his mansion, which surprised Guo Jia. In order to find out what was going on, he decided to visit him personally.

Guo Jia rode to the front of the state pastor's mansion, and Luo Bu, who was guarding the door, saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Little Luo Bu, I have seen the military division!" ”

Guo Jiale stopped his horse, leaned over and asked, "Rob, is the lord in the mansion?" ”

"Yes, yes!" When Luo Bu heard Guo Jia's question, he nodded vigorously and said in an affirmative tone: "In the past half a month, I have never left the mansion for half a step. ”

"Half a moon has never left the mansion?!" Guo Jia turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked, "What does the lord do in the mansion every day for recreation?" ”

Luo Bu stretched out his hand to take the reins of the horse from Guo Jia's hand, dragged the horse towards the door of the mansion, and said: "The lord leads a group of musicians in the mansion every day to rehearse his new Huangmei opera. ”

"Huangmei Opera?!" Hearing Rob say this, Guo Jia's face showed a blank expression, and he asked in surprise: "What is Huangmei Opera?" ”

"The lord said that Huangmei Opera is a new kind of opera......" As soon as Luo Bu said half of his words, he saw Guo Jia frowning, worried that he would not be able to speak clearly, so he smiled and said: "Military advisor, the little mouth is stupid, and I can't speak clearly for a while, you better go to the mansion and see it with your own eyes." One look at it, and you can understand what is going on. ”

Guo Jia nodded and walked towards the door of the mansion. The soldier standing at the door hurriedly bowed down and saluted Guo Jia, and then opened the door. Rob threw the reins of the horse to one of the soldiers, told him to lead the horse to the stable behind, and respectfully led Guo Jia into the house.

When he was still twenty or thirty steps away from the backyard, Guo Jia heard the singing voice coming from the courtyard, and couldn't help but stop, and said to Rob: "What is being sung inside, is it the Huangmei Opera you are talking about?" ”

"Exactly." Rob laughed and said, "The military advisor can go inside and listen to it, and make sure you listen to it." As he said this, he glanced at the absent-minded soldiers who were at the entrance to the backyard and added, "If you look at the door, they are attracted by the Huangmei Opera inside." The strange singing voice and the gaffe of the soldiers at the door made Guo Jia full of interest in the Huangmei Opera invented by Han Zhan.

Guo Jia walked into the courtyard quickly, and saw two young and beautiful women standing in the middle of the courtyard, babbling and singing the song she had just heard, and a group of women in the music workshop were playing for them with musical instruments. And his lord Han Zhan was leaning on a couch, shaking his head with his eyes closed and listening happily.

Seeing that Han Zhan was so attentive when he heard this, Guo Jia hurriedly walked two steps quickly, came to Han Zhan and bowed down: "Subordinates see the lord!" ”

Han Zhan, who was listening energetically, suddenly heard Guo Jia's voice and quickly opened his eyes. When he saw Guo Jia standing in front of him clearly, he quickly sat up straight, beckoned the other party and said, "It turns out that Feng Xiao is here, hurry up and sit down and listen to the music together." ”

Guo Jia was not so particular in front of Han Zhan, and when he saw him beckoning him to sit down, he sat down beside Han Zhan with a big grin, and asked curiously: "Lord, what are these women singing?" ”

"Huangmei Opera." After Han Zhan replied casually, he felt that he didn't say it in too much detail, and added: "It was Ben Hou who figured it out himself." Bonghyo, how is it, is it good? ”

"Not bad, not bad." Guo Jia felt that the singing of this song was strange, but it was indeed good, so he nodded and said, "Not only is the song good, but these two women also sing well." But I don't know what it's called? ”

They are singing "The Female Concubine", the woman on the left plays the princess in the story, and the woman on the right plays Feng Suzhen. ......In order to arouse Guo Jia's interest, Han Zhan deliberately told the entire story of "The Female Concubine" in detail, and finally said: "In the end, the emperor made the decision and released Li Zhaoting, who was unjustly imprisoned, and let him become a relative to Feng Suzhen, and the lovers eventually became married. ”

"Interesting, indeed interesting." After Guo Jia listened to Han Zhan tell the story of the whole female concubine, he looked at the two beautiful women singing in front of him, and couldn't help nodding and saying, "This Huangmei opera that the lord has figured out is really extraordinary. If it spreads, it will soon be popular in Beijing. ”

"Ben Hou plans to take these women into the palace in a few days and sing the Huangmei Opera to the current saints." Han Zhan said with a smile: "He has been in the palace all day, and he doesn't think about going out for a walk, so he always has to find something to relieve his boredom." ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but be silent for a long time, he originally thought that Han Zhan tossed this thing for his own amusement, but he didn't expect it to be for today's saint. Don't look at him as Han Zhan's military advisor, but during this time, there were rumors in the Beijing division that Han Zhan wanted to stand on behalf of Han, although he didn't believe in this rumor, but he had some mustard in his heart. At this moment, when he saw the pastime that Han Zhan prepared for Emperor Han Xian, he felt that his lord would not have any rebellious heart at all, otherwise he would not have bothered to prepare these things for Emperor Han Xian.

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Guo Jia would definitely express his opinion in the future, who knew that after waiting for a long time, but he didn't hear a sound, he turned his head and found that Guo Jia was staring at the woman singing in a daze, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and asked: "Fengxiao, seeing that you look preoccupied, what are you thinking?" ”

Guo Jia woke up from his contemplation, he smiled at Han Zhan, and said casually: "Lord, my subordinates are thinking that just one "Female Concubine", let Your Majesty listen to it twice, I'm afraid he will get bored." If there were a few more Huangmei operas, it might be better. ”

"Don't worry about Bong-hyo." Han Zhan thought that Guo Jia was thinking about this matter just now, so he waved his hand and said with a big grin: "How can Ben Hou only prepare a "Female Concubine"? The rehearsed Huangmei Opera also has a "Tianxian Pei", and after this one is sung, let them sing it to you again. In addition, Ben Hou also has two parts, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing the Fish", which are now being handed over to Zhao Ji for polishing, and after they finish writing, they can officially rehearse. ”

Although there are many operas that Han Zhan can remember in his mind, if he is asked to write them one by one, it will be a time-consuming and laborious thing. So he came up with a compromise solution, which was to gather Cai Yan and others and tell them the stories he knew. When they're done, let them sort out the stories.

""Tianxian Pei"?!" When Han Zhan told "The Female Concubine" just now, Guo Jia was amazed, and at this moment he heard that there was another "Tianxian Pei", so he hurriedly asked: "I don't know what story is being told?" ”

Seeing that Guo Jia was interested in "Tianxian Pei", Han Zhan coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began to introduce the drama to him: "Scholar Dong Yong sold himself to the Fu family as a slave, buried his father with the money he earned, and was filial to the sky. The Seven Fairies have the meaning of Sifan, and the Jade Emperor ordered the Seven Fairies to go down to earth and cooperate with Dong Yong for a hundred days. On the day of his work, Dong Yong married the Seven Fairies under the Huaiyin tree. After the seven fairies weaved ten brocade silk in one night, Fu Yuanwai changed the three-year long work to a hundred old; He also accepted Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies as righteous sons and righteous daughters. At the end of the 100th day, the husband and wife quit their jobs and went home, on the way the seven fairies told Dong Yong the truth, and gave Luo skirt and white fan treasure, and agreed to send their children to meet on February 15 of the next year, and return to heaven under the acacia tree...... "Although the Tianxian match told by Han Zhan is very different from the Huangmei opera that everyone is familiar with in later generations, it still makes Guo Jia listen to it with relish.

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Guo Jia was still unsatisfied, and asked repeatedly: "Lord, this "Tianxian Pei" is really exciting, but I don't know what is going on with "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing the Fish"? ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing Guo Jia's impatient look, Sokov couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Fengxiao, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing the Fish" may take some time, you better listen to "Tianxian Pei" with peace of mind first." After speaking, Han Zhan stood up, raised his hand to interrupt the women who were singing, and instructed them, "The Female Concubine" will be sung here first, and now sing "Tianxian Pei" to Fengxiao." ”

The two women who were singing agreed and turned around and returned to the wing room not far away, ready to change into new costumes, and then come over to sing "Tianxian Pei" for Han Zhan and Guo Jia.
