Chapter Ninety-Nine: Shangyuan Festival

Sun Xiangfu didn't expect that his whim to make a lamp can also make the emperor make a fuss, and he was tossed until he couldn't rest in the middle of the night, so he swore in his heart that he would never play with these things that the ancients couldn't understand in the future, just like out-of-season vegetables, what he solved was not only the problem of yield, enriching food, getting more vitamins to supplement the body, people's mental outlook would be very different, but these things, Sun Xiangfu couldn't talk to anyone, and it felt very bad that no one understood.

Shangyuan Festival, the weather is fine, early, Li Chengqian came to the Sun Mansion, today he got the opportunity to take the stage, for no other reason, Chang'an City has been hummed the most recently by people, is the spring flower he sang, by the song Siren, the prince Li Chengqian's ability to sing and dance, and the image of being close to the people is so magically established, of course, there is a reason why Sun Xiangfu secretly operates, so the eldest grandson queen is no longer so disgusted with Li Chengqian learning music.

"Teacher, I've practiced all the songs, is there anything else I need to prepare?"

"Well, you just need to always remember that you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and you perform on stage to establish your image in the eyes of the people."

For music, Sun Xiangfu can teach him less and less, Sun Xiangfu himself has learned the guitar for two months, and almost all the knowledge points are now taught to Li Chengqian, the rest is practice, and then there is a drum set, which Sun Xiangfu has only taken eight free lessons, with Li Chengqian's super high comprehension, Sun Xiangfu will be able to teach what he has mastered in a few days, and then, Sun Xiangfu should announce that he is out of school, and in the future, maybe he will accidentally think of some repertoire in later generations, and he will write it out and give it to him to play and sing, It's basically up to him to figure it out on his own.

"I know, good, cute, laughing!" Li Chengqian snapped his fingers when he learned from Sun Xiangfu's usual finger snapping in class.

These three points are the three essentials for people to like a child, Sun Xiangfu repeatedly told Li Chengqian, and then, Li Chengqian applied it in reality, and the effect was really good, even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have been close to him recently, so he thinks that these three points that Sun Xiangfu said are wise words.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu entered the busy work again, a large-scale stage performance, it was not a star to be busy, until the diners were about to crowd the Wangjiang Tower, Sun Xiangfu hurriedly rushed to the backstage to put on makeup, ready for the performance of the White Snake.

Today, Wangjiang Building is really full, even the temporary addition can not be added, the first floor, the second floor, and even the third floor of the private room, are all under the deployment of the waiter, full of seats, but also for the first time let the people of this era enjoy the service of sharing meals.

In the royal box, Li Yuan's spirit was very good, and he didn't know what to be happy about, Li Shimin still looked like a filial son, personally serving him on the side, and after the people in their box were full of wine and food, the curtain of the stage was also opened.

The play to be staged today has a big change from the original version, focusing on the rampant corruption of the former Sui Dynasty and the suffering of the people, which was changed according to Li Shimin's intentions, of course, the main line has not changed, Liang Wangfu persecuted Xu Xian and put pressure on the Qing official Chen Lun, resulting in Chen Lun, an official with a conscience, being dismissed and replaced by a dog official of the Liang Dynasty, who wanted to kill Xu Xian, and finally, Bai Suzhen came to the rescue, but Liang Lian invited Fahai to deal with Bai Suzhen.

This play, straight to the water of the Jinshan Temple, only to end in the climax, two hours, nearly four hours of performance at the end of the curtain, people do not feel that half of the day has passed.

"Husband, the concubine has made several wrong lines." Backstage, Yu Xiu'er said with some annoyance.

"My husband is no less wrong than you, and I almost can't perform in the cold field, but fortunately, Yuan came back later, and I won't arrange such a long scene in the future."

Even if the script is created by themselves, but when they act, it is impossible to write it all down, this is four hours, although the performance scattered to them does not exceed half an hour, but how many words and actions a person has to say and do in half an hour, it is not a professional drama actor who has been trained for many years, who can play it, so it is normal to have mistakes and omissions, and it does not affect the whole, besides, what they are performing now is the original version, even if it is wrong, the audience will watch it right.

"After this Shangyuan Festival, the husband will go to work for spring ploughing, and the concubine can rest in the house and teach those children to read." Yu Xiu'er's physical strength was a little overrun, and she hammered her somewhat sore legs.

"You're teaching too slowly, how are you thinking about the Chinese pinyin I told you two days ago, with this thing, in a few months, the grooms and porters in the house will be able to recognize all the words." Sun Xiangfu thought about Yu Xiu'er's ten-word teaching progress a day, and couldn't help but say.

"Then you don't have to make up a textbook first, let's start working on it tomorrow!" Yu Xiu'er thought about it, but had to admit what Sun Xiangfu said, so she said.

"Well, after that, I will ask the village to send some chicken tail hair, and use a chicken quills pen to write small characters, which can save a lot of ink and paper, but let them practice."

In the era of two pieces of paper and two money, and one ink pill eighty texts, the twenty children studying in Happy Village have become the biggest expense of Sun Fu, even if he has money, Sun Xiangfu doesn't want to waste it so much.

"Quill brush? Husband got a new gadget again? Yu Xiu'er asked in surprise.

"Sort of! In a few days, a toothbrush made of pig hair will be delivered, which will clean the mouth much better than willow branches. Sun Xiangfu nodded and said.

"Pig hair? Put it in your mouth? Yu Xiu'er felt disgusted when she thought about it.

Sun Xiangfu looked very expectant and said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

After resting for more than half an hour, I started to eat, and when dinner was over, the sky outside gradually darkened, and the sky lantern was put up again, there was no curfew in Chang'an tonight, and the city was full of lights, Sun Xiangfu simply let the waiters who were guarding the door withdraw, except for the upstairs, as many people as many people could enter on the first floor, and a little space was separated by tables and chairs to prevent crowding and trampling.

In a short time, many people of Chang'an who came to see the lights were blessed to be able to enter the building for free to watch the party of the Shangyuan Festival.

On the stage, after the curtain opened, it also started with the children's singing and dancing, and then Feitian and Thousand-armed Guanyin appeared one after another, allowing all the audience to see the miracle again, and the cross talk also won a full house, but the audience who was far away from the stage didn't know what was said on the stage, just followed the crowd and had fun.

The highlight is still a sketch, as soon as Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, and Yu Chi Baolin came to power, all the literati spontaneously squeezed forward, and after half a month, the next link of the smoke lock pond willow is finally about to unveil the mystery.

"This eldest sister, I have just come out of this couplet today, I don't know if Miss Liu is still willing to see me and wait." After the opening remarks, the eldest grandson rushed to the maid of Lichun Courtyard and arched his hand.

"Tell me about your next link." The maid replied.

The eldest grandson swept the stage and saw a pair of expectant eyes looking at him, which felt very good, and put on a pose that he thought was very handsome, and said, "The next link is: Taoran Jinjiang Embankment." ”

"Good ······"

Many scholars who had been holding back for half a month suddenly couldn't suppress their emotions and let go of their voices and shouted.

"This couplet is more meaningful than the few couplets that I have pondered in the next few days." In a private room, a scholar said.

"What did you figure out?" Another scholar in the same room asked.

"Uh, this ······" The scholar was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"If you don't match, you can't match, why pretend to be in front of us!" The scholar who asked him said with a hint of mockery.

"Hmph, the right one in the next place is Shenzhen teppanyaki." The scholar was ridiculed, and he didn't care about any artistic conception, so he snorted angrily.

"Shenzhen teppanyaki? What the heck? When the scholars heard this, they were overwhelmed.

This is a digression, on the stage, the plot is still continuing, not to mention, Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo also made a couplet respectively, respectively "Flame Modal Maple" and "Candle Guidi Spring". Needless to say, everyone knows that this is the role of money.

The maid truthfully told Liu Ruyan behind the screen all the triptych, and after a while, a graceful woman walked out from behind the screen, but when everyone saw her face, there was another exclamation, because she was wearing a tight veil.

"Take off the veil, take off the veil, take off the veil······"

I don't know who started it, and the whole restaurant shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

After everyone shouted more than a dozen times and vented their emotions, Changsun Chong raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "If you want to take off Miss Liu's veil, I'm afraid you have to rely on your ability!" ”

"That's right, the little woman has a couplet here, I don't know if the son can be right." As soon as the veil Liu Ruyan opened her voice, the audience suddenly felt that this voice was somewhat familiar.

The eldest grandson Chong, who had expected it, arched his hand and said, "Miss Liu, please." ”

At this time, the maid put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, and Liu Ruyan took the pen and wrote, "Chaochaochao." ”

"Hey, what kind of coupling is this?"

The maid showed out a few large characters written by Liu Ruyan, and the audience immediately theorized.

"It seems that there is a new way to play this couplet." On the third floor, Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Can Erlang see the doorway?" Li Yuan frowned and thought for a moment before asking.

"This couplet should be read, towards the tide, towards the tide." During this period, being able to break sentences was also a kind of literary skill, and Li Shimin saw the ingenuity of this couplet at a glance, so he said.

"Well, it turns out that rhyme and sentence breaks have been added to it, which is really mysterious."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he saw the eldest grandson Chong on the stage writing a few big characters, and another maid showed it.

"Long, long, long, long."

The audience in the audience was confused, and the two supporting roles of Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin were about to play a role at this time, and jumped out and pointed at Changsun Chong, "What kind of couplet is this?" If you can't get out, go home quickly! ”

The eldest grandson Chong ignored the two second goods, and said to Liu Ruyan, "How do you read Miss Liu's Shanglian?" ”

Liu Ruyan replied politely, "Towards the tide, towards the tide." ”

Changsun Chong said with a smile, "Then in the lower link, it reads: long rise, long rise and long disappear." ”

"Good ······"

The literati in the audience are not stupid, and as soon as they heard it, they understood the subtlety of these two couplets, which was really amazing.
