Yu'er and Shui'er really went to Jingzhao Mansion, and they ran away without permission behind their fathers and mothers; However, it was the carriage that Chen Jihuang's troupe rushed to Jingzhao Mansion, and the road was quite safe.

After Chen Jihuang's troupe arrived in Jingzhao Mansion, they rushed to perform, and Yu'er and Shui'er looked for the "Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop" that Chen Jihuang introduced to them.

Jingzhao Mansion was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which was called Chang'an at that time, and Chang'an was the largest city in the world; However, after Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he abandoned Chang'an and built Kyoto in Bianliang, planting the seeds of destruction.

Dozens of miles north of Bianliang City is the Yellow River, and there is no pass after the Yellow River; Yi Di will not take much effort to take down Bianjing in the Central Plains.

Zhao Kuangyin once thought about moving the capital to Chang'an, but his brother Zhao Guangyi and many ministers disagreed; Zhao Kuangyin, and the matter of moving the capital to the queen of heaven was put on hold forever until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, another reason why the Song Dynasty did not move the capital was that after Huangchao opposed the Tang Dynasty, it was destroyed by the long-term war of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty; Chang'an City has long lost its former glory.

In 907 AD, Zhu Wen took Tang Zhaozong and Baiguan hostage to Luoyang; Soon after he established himself, Liang became emperor.

Zhu Wen, a plague-like guy, is a sinner in history, in order to speed up the construction of the Luoyang Imperial Palace; He even ordered the army to demolish the palaces and houses in Chang'an, and the timber drifted down the Yellow River to Luoyang to be used again, causing devastating damage to the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties, which had already suffered catastrophe; It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Wen's dog thief has a thousand knives.

After Zhu Wen wreaked havoc on Chang'an, the Kuang Guojun stationed in Chang'an made Han Jian start to clean up a deserted street in Chang'an City.

After the war, the population of Chang'an City decreased sharply, and it was called "a million families without a single household, and wolves and ghosts sang everywhere"; The grand Chang'an City of the Sui and Tang dynasties was ruined and empty.

Han Jian abandoned the palace city and the outer Guo city in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and built a new city on the basis of the original imperial city; That is, Chang'an City from the Five Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Chang'an City was called Jingzhao Mansion in the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even more mean to call Xi'an Mansion in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and although the Jingzhao Mansion in the first year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty was not as brilliant as the Tang Dynasty, it still maintained a prosperous atmosphere.

Yu'er and Shui'er walked on the streets of Jingzhao Mansion, looking for the Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop.

The two entered an alley, but saw that many people were watching Ant Jiaowu.

The ant horn dance is an ant fight, bringing together two teams of ants, one yellow and one black; The yellow team uses a big yellow ant as a general, and the black team uses a big black ant as a marshal; Youling beat the drum next to him and commanded the battle.

Beat the first drum and the two teams of ants will line up.

Beat the second drum and the two teams of ants will start fighting.

The third drum is beaten, and the ants stop fighting; The yellow team stepped back a foot, and the black team stepped back a foot.

Beat the fourth drum, and the two teams of ants returned to their respective anthills under the leadership of the general.

The ants fought and Youling beat the drum to help the battle, and the people who beat the drum to help the battle were a few little girls who were the same age as Yu'er and Shui'er, and Yu'er and Shui'er looked worried, thinking that the people of Jingzhao Mansion were playing; It's too exciting to train ants to kill like an army!

I watched the ants fight, and the fish and the water watched another scene of seven treasures.

The so-called seven treasures refer to turtles, kings, carp, herring, loaches, crabs, and prawns.

The Lords put each of the seven animals into seven small tanks and began to shout; When the turtle is called, the turtle will crawl out of the tank and perform several antics acts.

When the carp is called, the carp will jump up in the tank, in short, no matter what kind of animal is called, the animal will echo with Youling very cleverly.

The turtles, kings, carps, herrings, loaches, crabs, and prawns in the seven tanks are displayed in turn, and a big show is performed vividly; Won the applause of the audience.

Yu'er and Shui'er continued to wander around the bustling streets of Jingzhao Mansion, and saw many entertainment venues on the road.

There are singers and maiko, storytellers, animal tamers, acrobats, magicians, sumo wrestling, sketches, martial arts, bows and arrows, kemari, puppet shows, shadow puppet shows, puppet shows, and puppet shows......

The fish and the water are full of joy, and a few women. Youling talks; They introduced Yu'er and Shui'er: "Jingzhaofu is just the tip of the iceberg, if it is Tokyo, in addition to performing songs and dances; You can also perform acrobatics, elephants, flags, and rope walks! ”

Fish, please look at it, a teenage woman. You Ling said very old-fashionedly: "Miscellaneous drama is a kind of drama, which has long and short, and the long is divided into many episodes, and it takes more than ten days to finish; The short ones are divided into several sections, each sung in a key! ”

Another female. Youling continued: "Xiangsheng is a variety of parody shows, imitating interesting scenes in daily life; For example, learning to talk about the country, learning to chant, Qiao Xie God, Qiao being a parent, Qiao Yingjiu, Qiao teaching, Qiao catching snakes, Qiao Jiao, Qiao selling medicine, Qiao family and so on! ”

The fish didn't understand, so could you talk about it more specifically?

Woman. You Ling laughed and said: "Xuexiang Tan is to imitate the dialects of various places, and Xueyin is to imitate all kinds of selling tunes of traders; Qiao Xie God imitates good men and women to repay their vows, and Qiao is to imitate marriage and marry daughters-in-law; Qiao Yingjiu imitates the noisy scene when the new wine is on the market, and Qiao teaches to imitate the lecture of Mr. Private School; Qiao catching snakes is an imitation of Hanako catching snakes, and Qiao Jiao is imitating selling sugar gourds; Qiao sells medicine to imitate charlatans to sell fake drugs, and Qiao's family is to imitate the dress of the wife and lady of a large family......"

Fish, water listen to girls. When You Ling said this, she clapped her hands excitedly; Ask the female. Can you take in the two sisters?

Woman. Youling stuck out her tongue and said, "Then you two have to ask our father!" ”

Woman. Youling said that her father is their boss, and the boss sees the fish and the water and his little Youling chattering together; Came over and asked.

The woman I just talked about. Youling told the reason why Yu'er and Shui'er wanted to join them, and the boss was older; Looking at the fish and the water, he said: "We are performing a pole, and the difficulty of the pole performance is very high; Artists need to climb a giant pole more than 30 meters high to make handstands, somersaults, dances, golden rooster independence and other actions on the top of the pole, and you two don't have much effort at all! ”

The boss raised his arm as he spoke, "Why don't you two just look at the next performance!" ”

The fish and the water stopped talking, and the pole performance began, and a woman sat on a chair with a pole several feet long, and the silk pattern did not move; and put a chair on the treetops, and the woman sat on the chair as if chanting a Buddha; Not afraid of falling off.

The fish and the water were so frightened that they covered their mouths, and the fish couldn't help but say to the boss: "Uncle, how dangerous it is!" The sister who performed would die if she fell! ”

The boss laughed and said, "This is a pole kung fu that I have practiced since I was a child, and I won't fall down!" ”

As the boss spoke, he let the fish and the water watch the rope, and a girl walked on the rope like a fly; After a while, he hung a golden hook upside down on the rope, and his skills were more agile than that of an ape.

Yu'er and Shui'er were watching the acting artists walk the tightrope with great interest, and a man who looked like a scholar stood in front of them and asked: "The two little sisters are having a lot of fun!" ”

Yu'er glanced back at the man and saw that he was emaciated; With a white face, he asked, "Big brother, do you know where the Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop is?" ”

The white-faced scholar is Diao San, Diao San's famous name Diao Shiwu; Listen to the fish ask; couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you two are looking for Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop?" Ah, yes, below is Diao Shiwu, the housekeeper of Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop! ”

Diao San said, asking where the fish and water come from? What are you doing with Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop?

Yu'er said that their sisters came from Yan'an Mansion and wanted to go to Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop to learn kabuki; Diao San clapped his hands and praised, saying that he had been running around the streets of Jingzhao Mansion in the past few days to beckon Xiao Youling in the fang.

Diao San was polite with Yu'er and Shui'er for a while, and said very enthusiastically: "The two little sisters must have not eaten since they came from Yan'an Mansion, right?" Let's invite you two to a restaurant for dinner now! ”

Fish and water are not familiar with life, and when they meet someone as enthusiastic as Diao San, they have long been unguarded ideologically; Follow him to a restaurant called Banbianlou.

Diao ordered the eight big bowls in Guanzhong, and asked for a pot of wine, chatting with Yu'er and Shui'er while eating: "The two younger sisters rushed to Jingzhao Mansion to learn singing and dancing, and if you want to be Youling, you have chosen the right way, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous world; The Great Song Kingdom not only needed kabuki in the homes of the rich, but also in public entertainment venues in major cities; Do you know the Goolan Tile in Kaifeng, Tokyo? That's called a bustle! ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "When my sisters were at home, the two neighbors next door were scholars, and they had the newspaper "Fun of the Heavenly Dynasty", and we knew from the "Fun of the Heavenly Dynasty" that Tokyo's cultural and entertainment activities were very prosperous, so we had the idea of learning to sing and dance; Ran out behind my parents' back! ”

Diao San heard Yu'er say this, and he had already snickered in his heart; The heart said that it was really sleepy and met the pillow!

Diao San thought so in his heart, but it was not revealed on the surface, and he still talked with Yu'er and Shui'er about the glory of the entertainment industry in the Great Song Dynasty.

"There are more than a dozen large casinos in Kaifeng City, and this kind of large-scale entertainment venue is called Vashe, and a Vasher includes more than a dozen hooks; Do you know the tick? Even the place where the demonstration is performed is called a theater! A large Gokan in Tokyo can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, and Kabuki is not in sufficient supply; There is no guarantee that the Goolan Tile House will be open for business! ”

Diao San stretched his neck as he said and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Half of the seventy-two popular artists in Tokyo City are women, such as Li Ruishi, Xu Poxi, Feng Yinu, Wang Jingnu, An Niang, Qiao Zhier, Yang Zongxi, Zhou Shounu, Zhang Zhennu, Yang Wangjing, Zhu Po'er and Sixth Sister who perform miscellaneous dramas, Zhang Zhenmiao and Wen Nuge who perform puppet shows, and Wen Banniang, Wang Yanxi, and Gai Zhongbao who tell stories...... Know how much they earn? These people can earn 20 yuan a day! ”

"Earn 20 yuan a day!" Shui Er was surprised and said, "This is our family's living expenses for half a year!" ”

Diao San laughed loudly, and chattered while putting vegetables on the plate of fish and water: "There is still an hour to earn 20 yuan, there is a Kabuki surnamed Wu whose parents died when he was a child, and he was sent by his uncle to Wazi in Tokyo as an apprentice; Ten years later, she learned to compose new songs by herself, and her dance song "Full of Stars" was very popular with the audience; Seven or eight performances a day, the theater owner gave her a share, earning an average of more than 50 yuan a day......"

Wei seemed to listen to Yu'er and Shui'er talk about the endless process of the two of them being deceived; Raised his arm and said, "Don't talk about those things in Jingzhao Mansion, just talk about the situation here!" ”

Yu'er wiped her tears and said: "Diao San tricked the two of us into a carriage with rhetoric, saying that he was going to Weiyang Song and Dance Workshop; But it came to this place! ”

Shui Er said: "When our sisters came here, Diao San asked the sister named Shui Mi Tao to teach the skills of receiving guests, and we were having fun receiving the first guest; Those two guys knocked the guest unconscious and carried him away! Shui'er pointed to the mallet man and the axe man who were already dead on the ground: "Ah, these are these two bad seeds!" ”

Yu'er picked up Shui'er's words: "When we saw that this was a murderous demon cave, we were crying and leaving, and Diao San asked people to beat us severely; We were beaten so much that we couldn't get out of bed for half a month. Yu'er had to tell her sister to accept her fate, who let us run out behind our parents' backs to learn what Youling......"

"Two little sisters, as long as you two take the underground demon palace under the Juxian Building to investigate clearly, Wei seems to take you out......"

Before Wei seemed to finish speaking, the fish and the water hugged him tightly from left to right; This hug is not kinky. The embrace of evil is a kind of grateful and excited hug......
