After sending Xun Yu and Fu Zhu away, Han Zhan got up and came to the backyard.

The eighth aunt, who was guiding the rehearsals of the women, saw Han Zhan walking into the backyard, and hurriedly asked everyone to stop singing, and only stepped forward to greet them: "The concubine is the Marquis of Anyang!" ”

"Excuse me!" Han Zhan waved his hand at the eighth aunt, signaling that the other party didn't have to be so polite, and then asked, "Eighth aunt, Ben Hou wants to ask you, if you are given five days, how many plays can you rehearse?" ”

After thinking about it in her heart, the eighth aunt stretched out a finger and said, "If you go back to the Hou Ye, the concubine feels that she can only rehearse a new play at most." If there are more, I am afraid that the level of the girls will be greatly reduced. ”

Han Zhan originally planned to use these five days, in addition to letting the girls of the music workshop rehearse the two plays "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing the Fish", he also tried to write two or three new plays. With six or seven dramas as the foundation, after they enter the palace to sing, they can also let Emperor Han Xian listen to it over and over again for a few more days, if there are only two, I am afraid that they will get tired of listening to it for two days.

"No, there are too few." Han Zhan felt that even if he couldn't rehearse five new plays in five days, then at least "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing the Fish", which had been completed now, should be rehearsed. He shook his head and said, "Eighth aunt, Benhou has given you five days to rehearse at least two new plays." If it can be completed, Benhou will be rewarded. ”

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Han Zhan said that there will be a heavy reward after the matter is completed, which makes the eighth aunt very moved. After rethinking it in her heart, she finally nodded, and said stubbornly: "Since the Hou Ye said so, even if the concubine fights for this old life, she will have to rehearse two new plays within five days." ”

"Also," just as the eighth aunt got up and was about to leave, Han Zhan stopped her again and said, "I think it's always called Le Fang, Le Fang, it seems inappropriate, and it should be changed to a suitable name." ”

In fact, don't say that Han Zhan thinks it's not good to use the name of Le Fang, even the eighth aunt thinks so in her heart. But because these women are basically from Le Fang, they have no right to change their names at all. Hearing Han Zhan mention this matter at this moment, the eighth aunt hurriedly asked, "I don't know what name the lord plans to change?" ”

"From today onwards, we will no longer use the name of the Orchestra, but will be renamed the Theatre Troupe." Han Zhan looked at the eighth aunt and said, "According to Benhou's opinion, you might as well call the eighth aunt opera troupe." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Hearing Han Zhan say this, the eighth aunt knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a loud voice: "These girls are basically from the music workshop, how can the concubine be virtuous, and dare to use the name of the concubine to name the troupe." ”

"Ben Hou said yes, naturally can." Seeing that the eighth aunt looked sincerely frightened, Han Zhan waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "This matter is so decided, if anyone dares to embarrass you, you just have to tell Ben Hou, and Ben Hou will definitely be the master for you." ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, the eighth aunt's heart suddenly became much more steady, and she hurriedly kowtowed to Han Zhan to thank her: "The concubine has thanked the lord for his grace." ”

"Uncle Zhi," Han Zhan thought that Huangmei Opera should not only be sung to Emperor Han Xian and hundreds of civil and military officials, but also to ordinary people. And for the people to listen to the opera, there must be a ready-made venue, so he called Chen Zhi over and instructed him: "Benhou will give you five hundred tiger guards and give you ten days to build a theater garden in the open space near the state pastor's mansion." ”

"Drama Garden?" When Chen Zhi heard Han Zhan say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the lord, what is this opera garden, and the last general has heard of it for the first time." ”

"The opera garden, as the name suggests, is a place to listen to operas." Han Zhan thought that in today's era, there must be no theater, so he pulled a blank piece of paper, drew a sketch on it with a brush, and explained to Chen Zhi how to build a theater garden: "The whole theater garden should be hollow-shaped, the stage is set up in the direction of due north, and the other three sides are the location of the play, which is divided into two layers......

Han Zhan is an out-and-out layman about architecture, but fortunately, he has seen the opera garden left over from ancient times with his own eyes, so he only needs to draw the architectural structure he remembers and explain it clearly, so that Chen Zhi can understand how to repair it.

After Chen Zhi waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he said cautiously: "My lord, there will be a reluctant invitation at the end. ”

"Say."

"I don't know if I can ask the frustrated prison army to help with the construction." Chen Zhi said to Han Zhan: "Now the palace in the city is personally supervised by the Fu Jian Army, if you have his help, you must be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort." ”

Regarding Chen Dao's proposal, Han Zhan did not object. However, he thought about it, he had just asked Fu Zhi to inquire about the sweet potato, and the other party had just left, and he followed him and ordered him to help supervise the construction of the opera garden, I am afraid that the other party will feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, he said to Chen Zhi: "Shuzhi, you first transfer the manpower, as for whether to let the frustrated prison army participate in this matter, Ben Hou has to think about it again." ”

"The last general obeys!" Chen Zhi said respectfully to Han Zhan: "The last general will arrange manpower." ”

"Eighth Aunt," after Chen Zhi left, Han Zhan said to Eighth Aunt, "If there is nothing to do, the girls of the opera troupe will be summoned to prepare for the rehearsal of the new play." In a few days, they will enter the palace to sing for His Majesty. ”

"What, we're going to attack and sing for Your Majesty in a few days?" As soon as the eighth aunt heard Han Zhan say this, she was immediately frightened and her legs went weak, if it wasn't for Rob who stepped forward to support her in time, it is estimated that she would have fallen directly to the ground. Her lips trembled violently, and she asked Han Zhan with a nervous expression: "Lord, do you really plan to let these girls enter the palace to sing for Your Majesty?" ”

"That's right, the reason why I asked you to rush out two new plays is to enter the palace to perform." Han Zhan said to the eighth aunt: "By the way, when you have time, invite someone to teach these girls the court etiquette, don't lose the face of the state pastor's mansion." ”

Knowing that she was about to take the girls from this troupe into the palace to sing for today, the eighth aunt was really overjoyed, and hurriedly replied without saying a word: "Please rest assured, even if the concubine fights for this life, she will definitely rehearse and perform two new plays within five days." As for the etiquette of the court, please don't worry about it, they are basically from the music room and know a lot about these etiquettes. ”

The things that should be explained have been explained, Han Zhan yawned and walked towards his room. In order to send Chen Gong today, he got up a little too early, and he planned to go back and get some sleep. But before he took two steps, he suddenly remembered that he had asked his civil and military officials to send singers over to learn Huangmei Opera, and he didn't know if they came. stopped and asked: "Eighth aunt, I don't know if the officials in Jizhou have sent singers to come to the middle school to sing Huangmei opera?" ”

"Yes, yes," the eighth aunt hurriedly nodded and said, "The two singers from Guo Junshi's family came over at the time of Chen, and now they are learning to sing with Xiang'er in the wing room." ”

Han Zhan listened attentively, there was indeed someone singing in the nearby wing, it should be Guo Jia's singer who was learning from Xiang'er. He nodded and said to the eighth aunt: "Eighth aunt, when the singers of the other adult families also arrive, you can pick one of them to see if there are any outstanding ones, temporarily incorporate them into your drama troupe, and then go to the palace to perform to Your Majesty." ”

"The concubine understands." The eighth aunt replied respectfully, "The concubine will pay special attention to it." ”
