Chapter 156: Plank Drum, Unexpected People

Strictly speaking, Zhan Bu is also a rich official in the capital, but Su Gong has been singing Kunshan dialect since he was four years old, and when he was eleven years old, he entered Beijing with his master, and at the age of sixteen, he became the most popular actor in the capital because of his soft and beautiful singing voice. When he was twenty-three years old, he caught a cold. When his voice fell, he withdrew from the stage and became the boss of the troupe.

After many years of hard work, today's Zhanjia class is already the largest team in Beijing, and several actors in the troupe are even more popular, which has also brought a lot of money to Zhanbu. Among them. Yueguan and Jiguan are the most effective cadres under him, and the "Huansha Ji" sung by these two is the finale of the Zhanjia class, and the classic singing passages are even more popular. From the ministers to the peddlers and pawns, they can hum a few words. Today's Buguan has a big mansion under his name, and a large-scale theater club, and he is also a successful person in the capital.

In ancient times, the status of the opera was as humble as a prostitute, and it was very popular in the capital, which had a lot to do with this guy's long-sleeved and good dancing. Heard. Zhan Bu has an ambiguous relationship with several ministers of the DPRK and China. Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a clause in the court law: incumbent officials cannot engage in prostitution.

Moreover, officials are not allowed to bring their families with them when they take up their posts in local areas.

This is also the social basis for scholars to like to play concubines in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Sun Dan had no interest in Bi Zuo's morality and sexual orientation, and in his opinion, Zhanbu was also a friend of his own, but a gentleman's friend. He is also a modern person, he is open-minded and open-minded when he sees people and things, so much so that he does not despise Zhanbu because he is an actor.

Although, the feminine and coquettish aura on Zhanbu's body made him a little uncomfortable.

came out of the drunken Chang'an restaurant and hired a carriage. Not a piece of the party arrived at the house of Zhanfu.

The Zhanjia class only performs in the evening, and the actors eat and live in Zhanbu's house. These twelve or thirteen girls go to bed late at night, usually sleep lazily in the morning, and do not get up lazily until noon. After dinner, the afternoon was their rehearsal time.

After Sun Dan entered the courtyard, he could still hear the sound of the group of girls hanging their throats, which was very noisy.

It was cold, the girls were rehearsing in their rooms, and Zhanbu was sitting by the fire, wearing a white foxtail collar and a bronze hand stove in his hand, and his face was so ruddy that it seemed to be dripping.

As soon as he saw Sun Dan, Zhan Bujiao stood up in disgust, "It's Brother Dan'er who is here, you, you haven't come to see the slave family for so long." People still think you've forgotten me, and you've really made the slave family distracted. ”

An orchid finger poked again.

Sun Dan was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged away and asked, "Boss Zhan." Where is Yueguan, why didn't you see her? ”

As soon as he heard Sun Dan mention Yueguan, Zhanbu looked a little jealous, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, if you are in front of other girls in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?" ”

Sun Dan was covered with goosebumps, and he was also depressed in his heart: "The spread is becoming more and more abnormal." If you can come to this place less in the future, you will come less often. ”

He made a straight face: "Boss Zhan, where is the moon official, don't make trouble, I have something to do with her." ”

Zhan Bu replied with some disappointment: "Yueguan is practicing music in the house now, her room is in the third room on the left hand side of the backyard, and there are clusters of bamboos at the door." There is a ticket friend who is with her, hmph, if you don't come to me, people are angry. ”

Sun Dan was also familiar with the road in the house of the Zhan family class, and he didn't want anyone to lead the way, so he walked straight to the backyard. When the net entered the courtyard, I heard the voices of two people inside, singing one by one: "The weeping willows and green leaves reflect the clear waves, although the scenery is good." Poisonous spring can be helped. Slowly pass by the side of the stream, leaning on the stone raccoon sara on the stream. ”

One of the voices is naturally Yueguan's, she is only thirteen years old this year, but her voice is clean and pure. Like oil returning to a stream. But the other female voice is high-pitched and clear, piercing clouds and cracking stones, with an explosive power, although the connection between the lyrics and the lyrics is a little stiff, and the exhalation is not professional enough, but it also makes people feel refreshed and can't help but shout hello.

When Sun Dan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, it turned out that the other woman who sang was Jiang Ruoying in the third room of the Sun Mansion. He had heard Zhan Bu say that Yueguan was staying with a ticket holder, and he thought it was a man. If a drama wants to be famous and popular, it needs to be praised, and it is understandable that he has an inexplicable relationship with some powerful men.

But Sun Dan never expected that Jiang Ruoying would actually come over to find Yueguan. However, it is understandable to think about it. Jiang Ruoying already has a good voice. has a very high talent in singing. After meeting the same exhibition class in Daming Lake last time, I became very interested in singing and playing tickets. Yueguan is the top name of the Zhanjia class, and it is understandable that Jiang Ruoying came over to learn from her.

Sun Dan laughed: "Good song and good voice." Miss Jiang also came.

"Ah, it's Brother Tan here." A tender yellow figure flashed, and Jiang Ruoying moved from the dimple. It looks innocent and cute.

Sun Dan was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly opened her arm. smiled: "I'll talk about the story later." Why did you come here, and you weren't afraid of being hit. Was scolded by your aunt when you got home? ”

"Whatever, I sneaked out. You don't go to sue. Who else would know? Jiang Ruoying playfully stuck out her tongue: "Jiajia runs outside the mansion all day long, and Aunt Jing doesn't care." It's so enviable! By the way, what are you doing here? ”

Only then did Sun Dan remember the purpose of his coming here: "I came to find Yueguan." ”

"Then come in, Sister Hee Hee Yueguan's singing skills are so good, I've been studying here for several days, and I haven't learned it." Jiang Ruoying spoke, and suddenly stared at Sun Dan with some suspicion: "You won't come here to hold the moon official, right?" ”

Sun Dan smiled bitterly and said in his heart: I, Sun Dan, hate traditional dramas the most, I get dizzy when I hear it, and I don't have much interest in this kind of thing. It seems that Jiang Ruoying suspects that she has a wrong idea of Yueguan.

Sun Dan remembered that Yueguan was a thin girl, with no breasts and no ass, and she looked very boring, belonging to the type he hated the most. Jiang Ruoying asked this, she was simply doubting her aesthetic taste.

"Sister Yueguan, Sun Dan has come to see you." Jiang Ruoying dragged Sun Dan into the house.

The room was a little messy, not quite like a girl's room, with clothes and dresses thrown on the bed and table in a mess, and a handful of sanxian and a four-hu thrown in the corner. Sun, lightly frowned. But this is also understandable, the girls in the canbu leave their parents at what age to go to the cloth pattern, no one cares, and the strength of the child is extremely low. Don't talk about needlework women, I'm afraid that it will be an impossible task for them to cook a meal to eat.

Yueguan is not tall, and his skin is also a little dark. Thin and has nothing to do with the word pretty. is such an ugly duckling-like little girl, who has become popular in the entire capital in the past six months with a good voice and excellent stage skills.

She was practicing, and when she saw Sun Dan coming in, she was busy: "It turned out to be Mr. Sun, the official was still talking about asking you to help him write a paragraph a few days ago, why did he have time to come over today?" ”

Sun Dan: "I came here to look for you today." ”

"Looking for me?" The moon official frowned slightly. He asked softly, "I don't know what Mr. Sun is looking for a slave?" ”

Sun Dan said: "Yueguan, let me ask you, do you know a person named Guo Zeng?" ”

"There is this person." Yueguan replied, "It can be regarded as a guest who often comes to abandon me to sing." ”

"Really, it's as simple as that, nothing else?" Sun asked with a smile. Yueguan's slightly dark face suddenly turned red: "In my opinion, this is the relationship, but as for what people think, it has nothing to do with the uncle's family." This man looked a little silly, and he brought over a bottle of rose dew last night. He said some crazy things again, which was really annoying, but fortunately, the owner of the exhibition class kicked him out. ”

After speaking, Yueguan pointed to the dresser. There is a red vial on it, which is estimated to be left by Guo Zeng.

At this time, not only Sun Dan nodded secretly, thinking that this was the case, and he finally didn't come in vain. Even Na Jiang Ruoying was excited: "Ha! With a sound, he teased the Yueguan: "Yueguan, you little guy has acted." Tell me, aren't you? ”

"What's not?" Yueguan was ashamed and annoyed: "It's just a fool who lacks heart." ”

Sun Dan laughed: "Why is he lacking heart." ”

For a girl, being loved is a very happy thing. But. If you are liked by a fool, you feel a little ashamed. Yueguan is just a thirteen-year-old girl, no matter how precocious she is, she is just a child. Among the girls in the troupe, they often talk about who they are liked, and they may not have the intention of comparing in private. Being liked by such a fool as Guo Zeng is simply an insult to Yueguan.

Thirteen years old is an age for dreaming. I don't know what true love is, this is true in ancient times, and it is also true in modern times.

Yueguan said with some annoyance: "That Guo Zeng said that what is the little young master of the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion, but in fact, he is very down, and he still says that he wants to praise me, just rely on him?" So shabby, only to say stupid things. Yesterday, a bottle of rose dew was sent over, saying that it came from the Western Regions, which is amazing. In fact, it's only worth one or two taels of silver, and I've used it much better than this on weekdays. ”

Sun Dan frowned when she heard this, this is just a greedy and vain little woman, but Sun Dan has no heart to judge the morality of others. He only said: "Guo Zeng wants to come to support you, so let him hold it." ”

Yueguan was surprised: "Mr. Sun, do you really want him to hold it?" ”

Sun Dan didn't know what to say, so he nodded solemnly: "Yes, let him hold you." ”

Jiang Ruoying couldn't understand what they were talking about. Curiously asked, "What is not popular?" ”

Sun Dan looked at Yueguan deeply and didn't speak. It can be seen that Yueguan is a very shrewd girl, and she should know what she is talking about.

Yueguan thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Isn't Mr. Sun embarrassed the slave family?" "She is not interested in having a relationship with Guo Zeng, this person is boring, stupid and poor, how can he be put in the eyes of Yueguan.

Sun Dan: "What? "It's a very bad feeling to be rejected and it's very frustrating. It seems that it will take some effort to convince the moon official.

I was about to say something more.

Yueguan didn't mention this anymore, and said softly: "Mr. Sun, you're here anyway, just help Yueguan and me write a paragraph." It's boring to always sing those old songs.

"Yes, yes, Sun Dan, don't shirk either. Write another little paragraph and I want to sing it too. ”

Sun Dan had no choice, he could not give Yueguan's face, but Jiang Ruoying was his friend, but he couldn't help but agree. I had to say, "Just write a little song with a few crosses." He pointed to the three strings and one in the corner. Small drum: "Which of you can play the shamisen?" ”

"I will, I will." Jiang Ruoying happily picked up the three strings and plucked a chord.

Sun Dan lifted the drum hammer and beat a rhythm, raised his voice and sang: "Thousands of miles of sword light and shadow, hatred burns nine cities, people do not return on the night of the full moon, and there is no peace in the land of flowers" is the theme song of the TV series "Four Worlds in the Same Hall" "Reorganize the rivers and mountains for future generations". This song is one of the classic repertoire of Jingyun drums, sung by Mr. Swan Yusheng, and sung by pop singer Han Hong, with a sonorous and powerful tune. Sun Dan used to like it very much. In between hastiness. He didn't do it, he didn't write a new drama joke, and he didn't have that mind, so he just made such a scene.

His voice has never been good, and as soon as the net sings out, Jiang Ruoying giggles.

While laughing, he adjusted the key of the three strings.

At the beginning of the official website, she still wanted to laugh, but she also knew that Sun Dan was a good hand at words, and his "Lin Chong Running at Night" was widely sung in the capital and was a famous segment of the Zhanjia class.

After listening to a few words, the more Yueguan listened, the more surprised he became. Although the tone of this piece is strange, it has a long charm, and in terms of beauty, it is far from the same accent.

She didn't know that the Jingyun drum originated from the wooden plank drum, and after it was introduced to Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty, it absorbed the characteristics of Peking Opera, and Kun Dialect was the ancestor of Peking Opera. Speaking of which, the Jingyun drum and Kunqu opera are originally inherited in the same vein, and the skills such as flat cavity, high cavity, falling cavity, throwing cavity, and undulating cavity are much better than the current Kunqu cavity.

Yueguan closed his eyes as he listened, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was pondering something.

At the end of the song, when Sun Dan finished speaking, she took the drum hammer from Sun Dan's hand and beat the rhythm. Signaling the three strings in Jiang Ruoying's hand not to stop, his chest rose and fell, and he suddenly spit out the words: "There is no peace on the night of the full moon, and there is no peace in the land of flowers." Silent blood, thousands of motherly love"

This voice is sung pure and delicate, and it is long. Full of Beijing flavor, so beautiful that it makes people's hearts tremble.

is worthy of being the first actor in the capital, and the same singing voice is in her mouth, compared to Sun Danlai, a heaven. An underground.

When this voice was sung, Jiang Ruoying's hair stood up with shock, and there were ripples in her eyes.

"Good!" A man's cheers could also be heard in the courtyard.

Then came the panicked shout of the cloth official: "Lord Huo." You can't get into this courtyard. Yueguan is uncomfortable this month. Can't be you, obituary, forgiveness, "Listen to his tone, what is the curse of Sichuan tattoo, Lord Huo is very afraid.

"Get up, a drama is actually big in front of me?" That Master Huo has a southern accent, which makes people sound very difficult, and I don't know whether I speak Cantonese or Hakka: "I, Huo Tao, am the ninth year of Zhengde, Jinshi and the first, and now I am the head of the military department, a dignified six-rank official, what is your identity, you dare to stop me." It's a joke, a play, some people praise it and push it out? ”

The name "Huo Tao" is so familiar! Sun Dan groaned. Hui Yuan is the first place in the test, and this person actually won the first place in the test, and he can be regarded as a character. With such an exam result, he should have entered the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't expect that now he has only done a small military director. Seemingly. There should be other reasons.

The cloth official still kept begging for mercy: "My lord, my lord." You really can't go in, Yueguan is only thirteen this year, and he's still a child. ”

Huo Tao's southern accent sounded again: "What's the matter at the age of thirteen, it's her blessing that I fell in love with her."

Lord Huo, I came today with sincerity. Even the Chinese people have been found. Don't talk nonsense, today you have to promise if you promise, and you have to agree if you don't promise. I have to accept the moon official. ”

Sun Dan sighed and shook his head again and again. Sure enough, this is the kind of thing. Thinking about it, Huo Tao fell in love with Yueguan and wanted to ask her to be his little old man Unfortunately, Yueguan is the pillar of the Zhanjia class, how could he be poached like this.

After looking back at Yueguan, the little girl was also annoyed, and she didn't want to be her whispered: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Sun, you go from behind." Yueguan has some trouble here...... Offended. ”

Jiang Ruoying knew that Yueguan was in trouble, and asked, "It doesn't matter, right?" ”

"It's nothing, Miss Jiang, let's go."

"Okay, then we'll take our leave." Jiang Ruoying hurriedly pulled Sun Dan.

Sun Dan: "You go first, I'll come back later." ”

"Ahem, then I'll go first." After all, Jiang Ruoying is everyone's best girl, so naturally she will not stay in this kind of place of right and wrong, and she saw Sun Dan standing still. I had to stomp my foot and rush away.

A few people outside were still entangled. The cloth official naturally kept pleading, but Huo Tao just didn't follow.

At this time, a steady voice sounded: "Boss Zhan, what Master Huo said is also an official of the imperial court." Yueguan is thirteen years old this year. How many more years can I sing with you? A woman's family must always find a home. Master Huo is a member of the Nanhai Wang clan, and he is a talented person, and it is a beautiful thing for the Yueguan to follow him. Why don't you stop and refuse, the money you spent to buy the moon official, Lord Huo will definitely return it to you ten times and a hundred times. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll give you five hundred taels." Huo Tao shouted loudly: "Why, you still don't agree." Don't you just want to keep the Moon Officer in your team to sing for you for a few more years and earn a little more? I, Huo Tao, lack everything, but I don't lack money. ”

Sun Dan listened to it funny: How can this Huo Tao say that he is also from a Jinshi, and he also got a huiyuan, why is it so unbearable to sweep the floor when he talks about women? Besides, the moon official is so ugly, this Lord Huo's eyes really dare not compliment.

Looking at the Yueguan again, he was so angry that his face was so black that he was about to drip water, and when he used his hand, the knuckles of the knuckles of the drum hammer were also a little white.

Outside, Zhanbu was still pleading: "Master Huo, this kind of thing has to pay attention to your affection and my willingness, and the Yueguan is unwilling to follow you, what can I do?" Probably really embarrassed, Zhanbu said to another man: "Xia Xingren Lord Xia." You are also from reading moral articles, you say, isn't it difficult for Master Huo to do this? ”

"I'm just going to be you, how about it?" Huo Tao was still shouting.

Sun Dan's heart was shocked: Xia Xingren. Isn't it Xia Yan? This guy should still be an official in the pedestrian division now.

Xia Yan was a powerful figure in the Jiajing Dynasty, and later served as a cabinet assistant, and was one of the influential figures in the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Sun Dan has long been famous for Xia Yan, but he didn't have the opportunity to get to know him, but he didn't want to meet him on such an occasion.

Sun Dan's heart moved, and he turned to Yueguan and said, "I can help you get through this difficulty, but." You have to promise me what I said before. ”

Yueguan gritted his teeth: "Mr. Sun, as long as I can get rid of that disgusting thing outside, I will do whatever you say?" ”

"It's not for you to do anything bad. Let you entertain Guo Zeng. Sun Dan smiled. As he was talking, the curtain moved, and a young man with a black and thin mushy face burst in.

This person should be Huo Tao.

He is not tall, has dark skin, and has thick lips. With high cheekbones and a typical South Asian face, it is really ugly.

As soon as he saw his appearance, Sun Dan immediately understood what was going on: it turned out that this Yueguan thought Huo Tao was ugly!

It's funny to say, the moon official is not good-looking. But there is no problem with aesthetics, and naturally I won't like this kind of man who is like the same name. It's that Huo Tao likes Yueguan, which makes people feel incomprehensible, according to him. Master Huo is also an official, and his family has money, what kind of beautiful girl can't buy it, but he is obsessed with this dark and thin little girl. There is also that Guo Zeng, who was also confused by Yueguan. In this way, there is only one reason that can be explained: Huo Tao and Guo Zeng are both fans of Yueguan, and there is no reason for fans to worship idols.

Although the ancient drama was of humble status. But in the eyes of the ancients, it is still a kind of existence like a big star, and it is also sought after.

Merely. Guo Zeng's approach was to stalk him. blindly entangled, and Huo Tao simply came to the overlord and forced the bow. As soon as Huo Tao entered the house, he saw that there was another man in the Yueguan room, and immediately screamed, grabbed Sun Dan's sleeve, and shouted angrily: "Who are you, and who are you?" Yueguan, in vain I Huo Tao is so obsessed with you, throwing in so much silver to hold you, that's how you treat me? ”

Sun Dan was angry and funny: "Lord Huo, pay attention to your identity, what kind of body do you look like now?" ”

Huo Tao was stunned.

At this time, Zhanbu and another man also entered the house, and saw Sun Dan being pulled by Huo Tao's sleeve. also came forward to persuade them, and finally separated the two.

Another strange man should be Xia Yan, Sun Dan glanced at him and applauded in his heart: What a beautiful man with a good demeanor! The bridge of the nose is straight, the eyebrows are sparse, and the long hair reaches the chest, which is worthy of being a big celebrity in the Jiajing Dynasty.

In comparison, that Huo Tao looked really obscene. No wonder he's a dignified. But he only became a petty officer of the military department, and did not enter the Hanlin Academy as usual. To be an official, you still need to have a good skin.
