Chapter Forty-Eight: New Year's Party
On the eve of the New Year, heavy snow fell in the city of Jidu.
The entire ancient capital of thistle turned white under the heavy snow.
Han Fei and Ju Wu, who had just returned from Qidi, couldn't care about fatigue.
came to the Thistle Palace and reported to Ji Kang what the two of them had seen and heard in Qidi for a year.
The return of Han Fei and Ju Wu made the atmosphere in the Affinity Hall very cheerful.
"So, that woman won't dare to bully her daughter-in-law anymore?" Ji Kang asked the two.
Ju Wu stepped forward and said to Ji Kang with a smile:
"Your Majesty, isn't it! This matter is difficult to deal with, and my "Yan Law" has provisions on the punishment of daughter-in-law for abusing her in-laws, but it is true that there are no provisions on the punishment for mother-in-law abusing her daughter-in-law. ”
"But according to the relevant provisions of the law, Han Fei beat this woman's son Twenty Da Ban, saying that he did not manage his family well, and let his in-laws and daughter-in-law have a quarrel, and should be severely punished."
"You don't know, Your Majesty! The woman was still very arrogant, but when she saw that the government beat her son, she immediately knelt down and cried, saying that she would never abuse her daughter-in-law again. ”
Ji Kang looked at Han Fei with a smile and said:
"The law is dead, but Han Fei can use the law flexibly, and the widow is very pleased. The widow also heard the report of the doctor of the criminal department in Jidu, and knew your sentence in this case, and you handled it very well. ”
"In my Yan country, this kind of thing happens from time to time when my in-laws abuse their daughters-in-law. Han Fei's sentence on this case has been cited by the Criminal Department and issued in the form of an official document as a model for sentencing in such cases in the future. ”
Han Fei saw Ji Kang's happy expression, and he was also very happy in his heart, and bowed down to Ji Kang and said:
"The king's praise for the ministers, the ministers dare not take it."
Ji Kang waved his hand and said to the two:
"There's no praise, just facts. By the way, the two of you have just returned to Jidu, go down to rest and rest. In the evening, the New Year's party organized by Gao gradually and they will be held in the "Opera House" that has just been completed this year, and you two should bring your family to participate as well. ”
Han Fei and Ju Wu bowed together and said, "No." ”
Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and it is also what the people call the "small year".
The "Opera House", named after Ji Kang, was just completed this year, and it is on the opposite side of the Thistle Palace.
The opera house is modeled after the auditorium architecture of Xiangping College, and the interior adopts a circular echo pattern.
It is divided into two floors, and can accommodate three or four thousand people at the same time.
It was just dark, and there were still snowflakes in the sky.
In the Jidu Opera House, there are many people.
Many courtiers and gentry of Jidu came to the opera house in advance with their families.
"Oops! Doctor Wang, this is Ling Lang! Sure enough, the bearing is extraordinary! ”
"Where, where, it's not as good as Dr. Liu's son! I heard that your son has been serving as a major in the army this year! My family, but it's not as good as that! ”
"Doctor Su, this opera house is magnificent!"
"Well, I heard that it was proposed by the king, saying that it was to give the people of Jidu a chance to watch the performance of the art troupe."
"Doctor Gao, you are only half right, at that time, the king also said that this opera house is an important part of spreading my Chinese culture."
"Oh, oh, what Master Su said is very true, my Chinese culture has a long history, and it should be spread."
At this time, there was a noise at the door.
"It's a few ministers who are here with their families, I'll go and greet them!"
"Okay, okay, go together, go together."
Ji Kang in the Ji Palace was already dressed neatly, looking at the Queen Mother Ji Zhao and Queen Su Ya, and even Qingzhu and Qingmei were all dressed up.
The three children, Ji Hua, Ji Xia, and Ji Wu, were also dressed neatly.
Ji Kang bowed to the Queen Mother Ji Zhao and said, "Mother, let's go." ”
Before the words fell, Ji Wu, who had already learned to walk, pounced on Ji Kang, and said to Ji Kang in a slurred voice:
"Father, hug."
"Okay, okay." Ji Kang stepped forward and picked up Ji Sister-in-law and kissed his daughter's face.
Ji Hua and Ji Xia, seeing this, also pounced on Ji Kang.
"Father, hug."
"Okay, okay, father."
Ji Kang put Ji Wu down first, and then picked up Ji Hua and Ji Xia separately and kissed each other.
Seeing this, Queen Su Ya, Qingzhu and Qingmei hurriedly stepped forward.
They picked up their respective children and handed them to the maids waiting for the three princes and princesses in the back.
Ji Kang and the others came to the opera house and got out of the car.
Ji Kang and Queen Su Ya held the Queen Mother's arm left and right, and walked forward. Qingzhu and Qingmei followed closely behind, and the palace maids holding Ji Hua, Ji Xia, and Ji Wu were behind Qingzhu and Qingmei.
As soon as I entered the opera house, the whole opera house let out a tsunami-like shout:
"Meet the Queen Mother, the King, the Queen, and the two ladies."
Ji Kang looked at the Queen Mother Ji Zhao, smiled, and shouted:
"Get up! There is no need to be polite this time. ”
After everyone stood up, Ji Kang and the others came to the front row and took their seats in their respective seats.
On the stage in the front row, two men and women dressed elegantly came out, and announced together:
"The New Year's party has officially begun. Act I, Beauty Walk. ”
The entire opera house was silent, and everyone looked at the stage.
The curtain on the stage slowly opened.
At this time, on the stage, everyone only looked at the tall buns, and more than a dozen women turned their backs to everyone.
With the sound of a clear flute, a zither, and a drum, accompanied by a rhythmic chime.
In everyone's ears, it was as if they heard the sound of heaven.
This song is the tune of "Double-Faced Yanxun" that Ji Kang heard in his previous life when he came to this era.
Elegant, solemn and rhythmic.
More than a dozen dancers on the stage suddenly turned around together.
At the point of the tune, the arms swing and dance, slowly walking towards the center of the stage.
The temperament is so graceful, and the dancing posture is so elegant.
Waiting for more than a dozen dancers on the stage, a series of dance postures such as swinging arms, leaning back, swinging hips, and raising legs are completed.
Everyone in the entire opera house, except for Ji Kang, was completely stunned.
"Color." In the entire auditorium, thunderous applause suddenly rang out.
The people who can come to this opera house to participate in the New Year's party can also be said to be well-informed.
Where would you have thought that you would hear such a beautiful piece of music?
Who would have thought that under the accompaniment of this beautiful music, the dancers could actually show such a graceful and atmospheric dance posture?
This dance music is rigid and soft, soft and strong. A head up, a foot, its own rhythm.
This song "Beauty Walking", everyone looked at it, although on the surface, it was the daily dressing up of the women of Yan Kingdom. But inside, there is clearly a Yan country, at this time the whole country is thriving, and the sea is unique to all rivers.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help shouting in unison: "Cai." ”
Ji Kang found that the Queen Mother, the Queen, Qingzhu, and Qingmei all began to applaud, and his three sons and daughters were all staring at the dancers on the stage with big round eyes at the moment.
Gao gradually left the backstage and knew that the first New Year's party had been a complete success.
The king is really powerful! I know such a beautiful piece of music and such a moving dance.
I couldn't help but think of what Ji Kang said to himself:
"Drift away! Art comes from the people, and in the end, it must return to the people. In the final analysis, the culture and art created by our Yan Kingdom in the future will serve the broad masses of people in our Yan Kingdom. You have to remember this! ”
From the very beginning, with a dance song "Beauty Walk", the New Year's party completely fell into a climax.
The many dance songs and songs performed next, and even the "cross talk", "acrobatics", "sketches", etc., which were named by the king himself, made the entire opera house applaud and laugh continuously.
In the end, the New Year's party of this station was given a song and dance performance along the history of China.
Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created people, Kuafu chased the sun, Houyi shot the sun, the three emperors and five emperors, Dayu ruled the water, the establishment of Xia, Shang and Zhou, these stories in Chinese history were compiled into song and dance performances, so that everyone was even more fascinated.
At this time, everyone knew what was going on with the cultural spread that their own kings often talked about!
