Chapter 44: The Stage
When Gong Jue sent someone, I had already unknowingly sat at the end of the swing and fell asleep...... As soon as I saw Gong Lao lying on my side, I immediately jumped off the swing.
Pity me, I guess I'm too sleepy, and when I saw the sleeping palace elder, the sleepy worm was immediately hooked out. However, there was no other place for people to rest here, and finally the old man of the palace curled his legs and moved a seat from his feet, and my head went up.
Fortunately, when I woke up, the old man was still asleep. But Gong Jun and Gong Yue were missing.
The little maid came to communicate: "Miss, the sixth prince Xuan, and the third prince of Jue ordered the slave maid to come and inform me that the stage has been set up and you can go to the green field of the Pingdian Palace." ”
Heiden? Green Field? But the temple over there? Turf for flowing water mats?
I thought that Gong Lao was still asleep, and just as I was about to respond, I heard him say: "This little king will arrive later, you go down first." ”
"Yes." The little maid bowed and bowed, leaving me alone to face him in this great sea of willow-leaved verbena flowers.
I just heard him say: "What are you doing watching this little king do?" Could it be that you have discovered the excellence of this little king? ”
One sentence was revealed, I turned his back directly and replied to him: "Little Prince Xuan, don't think too much, Nai Yi just wants to ask why I don't see the fourth prince and the fifth prince of Yue?" ”
It was rare that he didn't have a string to go to the end, and answered: "It should be arranged by the third brother to go elsewhere." After saying that, I called Xuan Xing out, and the strangest thing for me was where this Xuan Xing came from. Suddenly appeared in front of the old man of this palace, behind me.
I deserved to have my back to Gong Lao Mi just now, and I didn't even see Xuanxing's way of appearance.
He was still dressed in black, and he was polite to the palace elder, and said, "It was indeed brought by the third prince Jue, when you and Miss Naiyi took a nap on the swing of the master." ”
When I landed, I thought that this Xuan Xing was also an eight woman? Time, place, event, the two sentences are described decisively and clearly.
Sure enough, the old man beckoned him to retreat. Then he looked at me, and there was only one sentence in his eyes, and I saw how you explained it!
I closed my eyes in despair and told the truth, "That's right, Naichi was just too tired, and then I sat on your feet and slept for a while." Little Prince Xuan, don't get me wrong. ”
The guy turned to smile: "Ben Xiaowang didn't misunderstand anything. Do you want Ben Xiaowang to misunderstand something? ”
I think these ancient individuals had a very fatal problem, that is, they always liked to ask others rhetorically. Then, inexplicably, the person who wants to explain will paint the truth darker and darker, which is very unfavorable for peeling off the truth.
I know that there is absolutely no chance of winning the duel with this palace master. He disarmed and surrendered first: "This is very good. Little Prince Xuan, can we go? ”
The guy raised an eyebrow and nodded, jumped off the swing, and came beside me. He said to me, "It's time to go." However, this Xiao Wang can tell you in advance that the mother concubine may let you play the piano on stage in a while, so don't panic. ”
What does this mean?
"Why?"
He was particularly embarrassed to "smack" and said, "Blame me too." A few days ago, Japan wanted to make things difficult for you in front of your mother, so she made such an unreasonable request to your mother. But you never thought about it...... Anyway, I'll ask my mother to let us play together in a while, which can be regarded as reparation for your sins. ”
I suddenly remembered that when Little Peach went to prepare a gift for the princess, she came back and told me that the eldest prince said that the princess would ask me for something. It turned out to be this. But how did the eldest prince know?
Deng Shi felt that the water committee of this palace was really not ordinarily deep, and each was inexplicable and impure.
Gong Lao Yu thought I was angry, so he said: "Actually, it's because I hated you before, the day you stroked the qin, I went back to invite my mother, thinking that you would definitely only have that one song, so I wanted you to make a fool of yourself today." The reason why I tell you now is because the gentleman sits upright, and I don't want to feel guilty about you. ”
I silently said in my heart, I'm afraid that it wasn't you who just felt that you had no love for me before, so you wanted to disgrace me and die. I didn't think about it, but I was conquered by my charm in just a few days, so I regretted it in my heart, afraid that after I knew the truth, I would hate you, so right?
He suddenly blocked my way, twisted my shoulder, and asked me to look up at him, "Do you think this little king is despicable?" Don't want to pay attention to me? ”
I sighed and said to him very seriously: "Little Prince Xuan, you are too careful. Naichi just thinks that no one is perfect, and whether you hate me or not is just a thought. I can't like everyone myself, so why should I blame you. ”
He was stunned for a moment at my reply. I slid down from his arm and walked around.
Soon after, I heard him catch up. Silently following me, as if to recall what I had just said, I felt that he was no longer as vexatious as he had just met, and that since he had affection for me, he would not embarrass me. It's good to tell me to play the piano, not anything else, otherwise I would really be embarrassed and thrown to my grandmother's house. Presumably, this Xiao Nai also loved this rhythm very much in her life, otherwise she would have learned so many things, why did she only remember the art of stroking the qin.
We walked through the lobby and bypassed the blue bead barrier, and I saw that there was really an inscription on the courtyard here, and it was indeed the word "Ping Dian". Walking all the way, you can soon see the crowd on the green field.
The women have a lot of promises, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many warblers and swallows.
The venue is still surrounded by a circle of tables and fruit plates, but the flowing table in the center is gone, replaced by a large platform with a width of ten meters, which is huge, and it is still a small second floor. There are already a lot of people sitting around the first floor, and the stage is covered with a festive red cloth, so you can't see the inside clearly, but what you can see on the stage on the second floor is just a few tables and chairs, and there are red folding cloths at the back end, and the top of the stage is sealed with a roll canopy.
The wisdom and ability of the ancients are really quite good.
As I approached, Gong Lao Yu took out my arm and said to me, "Close your eyes." ”
And when I was still confused and didn't know what to mean, he suddenly stopped me and flew into the air. Fortunately, the crowd at the bottom was just chatting and watching, and no one noticed us. Straddling in the air, I didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of being discovered or using improper force, and I was accidentally thrown down.
I saw that he took me directly to the middle of the stage, and I thought that the top of this stage should also be sealed by the roof of the canopy, but because of my preconceived thoughts, I was dumbfounded.
This top turned out to be hollow!
And the flowing water table that disappeared just now has also been surrounded by this stage. It became a retaining wall on the right side, and in the middle of the stage was a large vat with a diameter of about three meters, and the vat was surrounded by a square countertop, which was blocked by red folded cloth on all sides. Looking at the second floor, there are tables and chairs all around, what we just saw is just one side, who would have thought that this is actually a stage, and look at this spectacular. This second floor should be a place for guests to watch.
In order to avoid being observed by the crowd, Gong Lao Yu flew directly into this stage, fortunately, the buildings on both sides were covered with red folding cloths, and only the lively whispers outside could be heard, but the two of us were not found to be in it.
I was amazed by the large vat in the middle of the stage, so I studied this thing as soon as I got to the ground.
Is it for performance? What kind of performance can use this vat.
Seeing that I had been circling in the vat, Gong Lao said to me, "You don't know what this is?" ”
Although I am a bit unreasonable, I have one advantage, that is, I am eager to learn. If you don't understand something, you will definitely ask others, so I replied to him: "Does the little prince know it?" ”
Hearing me say this, I saw that his eyes suddenly overflowed with pity, and he thought for a long time: "I heard my mother say when I was very young, some people are extremely pitiful, and many things have not been knocked, and now it seems that Naiyi, you are so pitiful, and your aunt has never taken you to see the opera?" ”
I'm speechless, what does that mean? Isn't it just a big vat? Is there something that everyone should know? I don't remember any opera where you could use it.
I wanted to tell him if I could explain it, but I didn't open my mouth. I heard him say again: "This is the resonance tank on the stage, which is used to gather sounds, but you are almost ten years old now, but you have never even seen anything that ordinary children know." Looks like I'm going to have to say it to my aunt. ”
When I heard this, it dawned on me. This ancient stage did not have microphones and sounds, so naturally it could not transmit sound. In the past, it was only said that the sound of the ancients singing was really loud, and it was all spread by the sound of the chest, but now that I understand it, it turns out that they have also used this external force to spread. Sure enough, both ancient and modern, they all have their own ways of coping with difficulties. Although the props are different, they have the same function.
But what did the old man of this palace just say? Thought I was abused by his aunt? Are you going to tell me about it?
I hurriedly retorted to him before he said anything more embarrassing to me: "It's not my mother's fault. As Naichi said before, he forgot some things because of a serious illness, so he naturally has these basic common sense. Let the little prince smile when he sees it. ”
He nodded: "No, it's fine." Otherwise, Ben Xiaowang really thought that his aunt was abusing you. By the way, we'll just sit there in a moment. ”
I followed the direction of his finger, and behind the red folded cloth should be the location on the second floor directly above the long flowing water table, which belongs to the south. It's good there, presumably there are still a lot of rules in ancient times, and it should be the East as the main position. In this case, today's birthday star and her sisters should be sitting on the east side......
We sat in the south position, which was also avoided. So he smiled at the palace elder and said, "Little Prince Lao Xuan is bothered." ”
He seemed to be very pleased with my well-behavedness, so he sat down along the jar and said to me, "Sit down and rest for a while, and then you can enter in later, and then this little king will take you up." ”
