Chapter Fifty-Eight: Kunqu Opera

Sun Dan and the others who were lying on the deck also laughed with Sun Hao's shout.

Among them, Jiang Ruoying's smile was even more crisp and beautiful. She stretched out her pink fist and slapped Sun Dan on the shoulder a few times: "I hate it, I said that I would come out and send my wishes, but it turned out to cause this kind of thing." If my aunt sees this scene today, she will have to be scolded to death. ”

Sun Dan punched her twice, and it didn't hurt, but when he saw her smiling like a flower, his heart was fluttering, and he almost couldn't help but reach over and hold her slender wrist.

After laughing for a long time, Sun Dan stood up and walked towards the cabin.

The person who put the springboard just now stopped Sun Dan with one hand: "You, you, what do you want to do?" ”

Sun Dan found out that this person was quite handsome, dressed very gorgeously, and his voice was very soft, there was a kind of yin qi that was compelling, and he had fair skin, if he hadn't seen the protruding Adam's apple under his throat, Sun Dan would have almost regarded him as a woman dressed as a man.

Sun Dan said: "I got the help of the gentleman in the cabin just now, and the kid is very grateful and wants to thank him in person." ”

The man stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and smiled, there was an indescribable charm, "People don't see guests, besides, this boat is hired by me, thank me if you want to thank me." ”

His appearance of not being a man or a woman made Sun Dan's heart chill, what a shemale.

After settling down, Sun Dancai said, "Thank you, and thank you to the gentleman in the cabin." ”

There was silence in the cabin, except for a few half-grown women poking their heads out.

Suddenly seeing a few young women, and thinking that this was a painting boat, Sun Gui came to the spirit, quietly touched it, dragged the man's cuffs, and whispered: "Dare to ask, this is a green building, and the son is also happy here?" ”

"I hate it, people don't go to that kind of place!" The guy stomped his foot, and his wonderful eyes fell on Sun Gui's face: "Didn't you say just now, we chartered this boat to have fun on the lake." ”

Sun Gui was glanced at by him, and his scalp was numb. Qiang smiled: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname, who is the guest on the ship." We are the children of the Hou Sun family of Huichang. ”

The man laughed coquettishly: "Of course I can't tell you who the distinguished guest on the ship is, but I might as well tell you the name and origin of the person." My name is Zhanbu, I am from the south, I am the boss of the Zhanjia class, you can call me Buguan, we are singing Kunqu Opera, from the capital. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a boat chartered by the troupe." Sun Gui was disappointed when he heard that it was not the Qinglou painting boat, and he was afraid of this actor called Buguan, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and didn't dare to approach again.

During the Ming Dynasty, Youling's status was underground, and Sun Gui was a scholar, so he looked down on this cloth official by three points in his heart.

Sun Dan didn't think that the drama was so low, after all, it was a subsistence business, and there was no distinction between high and low labor. Besides, in modern times, it is the artists of high status who sing.

Sun Dan arched his hand: "It turned out to be the boss of Zhan, fortunately." The boss of the exhibition is really an elegant person, boating on the lake late at night, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, you can enjoy the lake and mountains. ”

The cloth official laughed quietly: "The moon is dark and the scenery kills the night, it is pitch black, what scenery is there to see?" Today is the 50th birthday of King De, and we are invited by the palace to sing and entertain. ”

"It turned out to be King De's 50th birthday." Sun Dan suddenly remembered that Li Meiting had taken Sun Yue over to the banquet before, and it turned out that this was the case, "But when you go to the Dewang Mansion, why did you come on the boat?" In his memory, King De's Mansion was on the edge of Daming Lake, not a few steps away from here. This exhibitor class did not go to the palace, but took a boat to the lake, which made people feel so weird.

Zhanbu "giggled": "King De is an elegant person, and he doesn't want to make the scale of this birthday banquet too big, so he will panic." Besides, the prince's banquet was full of local officials and celebrities. The emphasis is on elegance and elegance. Therefore, the prince set up the banquet in the middle of the lake, made a painting boat, and sat down with a few literati and dignitaries to talk about the wind and the moon, and put the wine in the wind. ”

"I see." Sun Dan was stunned for a moment, and he was annoyed again. I knew that I was going to run into Mr. Li and Sun Yue on this boat, and I wouldn't have come up if I killed him. Everyone met and felt embarrassed.

The cloth official said a few words to Sun Dan, turned his head and shouted into the cabin: "A few top aunts and grandmothers, come out to perform a little, adjust the strings for me, and play my fingers hot, don't be embarrassed for my Zhanjia class at that time." This year is also my luck, I took over the business of King De, as long as the performance is good, I don't have to worry about food and clothing this year. ”

With a crisp sound, several warblers and Yanyan who were dressed in costumes ran out and warmed up on the spacious deck. The leg press of the leg, the waist of the waist, some people are tuning the pitch of the huqin and pipa, and some people are hanging their voices "Yiyiahhh

They were so busy, Sun Dan and the others were embarrassed to disturb, and they all sat on the side of the boat to watch the excitement.

This group of female actors is not very old, they are all twelve or thirteen years old, but their appearance is ordinary, but it is rare that they have soft waists, and a few difficult splits are down, seeing Sun Gui and Sun Hao dumbfounded.

Sun Dan himself is not interested in drama, he is bored to watch, he looks everywhere, trying to find a hiding place, so as not to meet Sun Yue when the time comes.

That Jiang Ruoying was originally from Suzhou, and Kunqu Opera was a southern opera, which was right to her appetite, and she could hear her eyebrows fluttering.

At this time, there was a little martial artist who hung his throat for a long time, and suddenly sang such a sentence: "The cool night of autumn, the cool night, the accommodation will knock on his door." Looking at the waning moon in the distance, the darkness is heavy, running around the wilderness, my body is not ......"

It is one of the Kunqu opera "The Legend of the Sword".

At the beginning, that little martial artist still sang sonorously and powerfully, but it is estimated that he inhaled too much cold wind on the lake, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he couldn't catch his breath.

Sun smiled lightly, this repertoire is no stranger to him, "The Legend of the Sword" is a track in the Kunqu Opera of the Ming Dynasty, which is based on the Chinese vernacular novel "Water Margin" and has been changed. Lin Chong participated in Gao Yu and was framed by Gao, stabbed Cangzhou, and finally forced to Liangshan.

When he was in the county office, he once received a group of Kunqu opera troupes who came to Zouping for tourism with the people of Wenweikou, and mingled with them for a week, and from that time on, he also became interested in this ancient form of drama. Kunqu opera is also called Kun dialect, originated in Kunshan, Jiangsu, began at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, spread widely in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, to Wanli, it has been "the song of the four directions, must be the Wumen". Subsequently, on the basis of Kunqu opera singing, many types of opera were also derived, which was the originator of Peking Opera in later generations. It has also been designated as an intangible heritage by UNESCO.

Now it is the end of Zhengde and the beginning of Jiajing, and it is the time for Kunqu Opera to carry forward its popularity.

At that time, the Kunqu Opera Troupe also gave me Sun Dan a CD of the famous Kunqu Opera section, Sun Dan felt that this thing sounded noisy, and after listening to it a few times, he copied it into the computer, among which was the play "Lin Chong Running at Night" in "The Legend of the Sword".

Xiao Wusheng's voice was hoarse, which made Sun Hao, Jiang Ruoying and the others laugh when they heard it.

The boss named Buguan's face changed, and he opened his mouth and scolded in a coquettish voice: "What are you singing, Mr. Yang is on the boat, if you sing his tune like this, aren't you afraid that Mr. will be angry?" ”

"That's it, don't scold her." In the cabin, the Sichuan man who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke. What he will change to a beautiful Beijing film: "I haven't written this track for a few days, and I happened to write this paragraph, and I haven't thought about how to write it later." So, I didn't think about what to use. Perhaps, the tone of this brand is a little higher, and it is not suitable for use here. ”

Buguan smiled softly and raised two orchid fingers: "Mr. Yang is right, but seeing them spoil your song so much, the slave family is sad." ”

Seeing his charming appearance, Sun Hao and the others' cold hairs stood up.

But Sun Hao's heart was shocked, and he almost jumped up. He is no stranger to the play "The Legend of the Sword", and has vaguely guessed who Mr. Yang is in the cabin.

The book says that "The Legend of the Sword" is the most famous piece of Kunqu opera in the Ming Dynasty, which was completed in the fifteenth year of Jiajing and composed by Li Kaixian, a jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing. Li Kaixian was a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty and had profound attainments in the creation of opera. Together with Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Shichun and others, he is known as the eight talents in the early years of Jiajing.

Although he was not famous in later generations, the first "Lin Chong Running at Night" was a classic in the major genres.

Although the author of "The Legend of the Sword" is Li Kaixian, when Sun Dan checked the information of this play, he accidentally found that some of the lyrics were created by Yang Shen. It was Yang Shen who first thought of putting the image of Lin Chong in "Water Margin" on the stage.

It's just that Yang Shen was also playing with tickets at the beginning, and after writing a few plays, he didn't get inspiration, so he put down his pen and stopped writing. Li Kaixian removed the chaff on the basis of Yang Shen's original work and expanded the length, which led to the famous drama "The Legend of the Sword".

Just now, the cloth official called Mr. Yang, the person in the cabin, and said that this singing was his handwriting, and then thought of Mr. Yang's thick Sichuan accent, and said that he was a Xindu people, Sun Dan's heart was excited, and it was known that this person was one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, the son of Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the current cabinet, and Yang Shen, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.
