Chapter 497: Regardless of previous suspicions
With the arrival of Zishuang, the girls in the manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou City suddenly felt pressured. Tian Lai Xiao said. β
There is no doubt that among all the girls in the manor, Zining, Youlan and Cuckoo, who have won the three tripod armors of the Oiran Conference, are the best among them, and if there is no accident, they will take over three of the four protagonists of "The Female Concubine".
In other words, the rest of the girls can only compete for the remaining one, and Zishuang is the Qingqi person who almost replaced Zining on stage at the Oiran Conference, and her strength should not be underestimated, becoming a strong competitor.
Zishuang had a lot to say after seeing Zi Ning, but when it came to her mouth, she couldn't say it, the two hugged their heads and cried, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and the knot in their hearts for many years disappeared.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he turned to leave, he had completed his task, and the next thing would be handed over to Zi Ning and Zi Shuang, the two of them must have a lot of intimate words to say to each other.
"Brother Sheng, it seems that things are going well."
Yang Li'er quickly caught up with Li Hongyu, and said with a smile, she was not worried that Li Hongyu would return empty-handed, Drunken Moon Pavilion owed Li Hongyu a favor, coupled with Li Hongyu's special status, so she would never refuse Li Hongyu.
"Although the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion doesn't want anything, I can't ask people for nothing, so I left him a painting and a new song, which can be regarded as two clear."
Li Hongyu frowned slightly, and then smiled at Yang Li'er and said, "You don't have a headache how to manage those girls in the manor, and when Hongxia comes, this problem will be solved." β
"Brother Sheng, do you really want to use Hongxia? She has done things that harm the interests of the Drunken Moon Pavilion! Yang Li'er frowned slightly when she heard this, and said to Li Hongyu worriedly, her opinion of Hongxia is not very good, and in ancient times, people despised the most people who betrayed the person who sought glory.
"There is a saying among the people, called 'people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves', although Hongxia has done something wrong, it does not mean that she cannot be trusted, we have to look at the mistakes she made according to the situation at the time."
Li Hongyu knew that Yang Li'er couldn't trust Hongxia, so he explained with a smile, "Actually, the reason why Hongxia made this mistake is because of the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, if it weren't for his indulgence, how would Hongxia dare to try to bring down Boss Liu by any means." β
Yang Li'er nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, Hongxia's behavior could not be more appropriate to describe as "pampered and arrogant", the owner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion did have to pay a very big responsibility in this matter.
"Hongxia can compete with Boss Liu, forcing Boss Liu to almost go to a dead end, it can be seen that he still has some ability, the important thing is that we need an experienced manager to manage those girls, from the current point of view, Hongxia is undoubtedly the best choice."
Li Hongyu saw that Yang Li'er agreed with his statement, so he smiled as he walked, "Actually, Zining has done us a great favor this time, if Hongxia is here in the future, we can be the shopkeeper, we don't have to worry about Zining's food, clothing, housing and other affairs, everything has its own Hongxia cuisine." β
"But, will Hongxia stay?" Yang Li'er frowned again when she heard this, and then asked with a slight frown, you must know that Hongxia had harmed Zining before.
"She'll definitely stay."
Li Hongyu smiled and replied without thinking, "Hongxia is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, she wants to make a career, she can't marry someone and teach her children at home, but who else dares to use her except us?" β
"Besides, she stayed to atone for her sins and help Zining perform the upcoming "Female Horse".
Saying that, Li Hongyu shook his head and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The world is unpredictable, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Hongxia would be imprisoned from the second master of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and she would be saved by Zi Ning, who she had tried to put to death before. β
"Zi Ning is kind at heart, this is why I met you, a nobleman, otherwise she will never come out." Yang Li'er replied with a smile, if it weren't for Li Hongyu, Zi Ning and Liu Hongmei would have been calculated by Hongxia this time.
"I'm just an adult beauty."
Li Hongyu waved his hand and said disappreciatively, speaking of which, Liu Hongmei is Zining's nobleman, if Liu Hongmei hadn't found him, then Zining's fate would have changed dramatically, and he would not be able to become a famous Oiran in Jiangnan.
In the evening, Li Hongyu gathered Youlan, Zining and others together, and officially briefed them on the origin of "The Female Concubine" and how to sing and perform.
"The Female Concubine" is naturally the classic repertoire of Huangmei Opera, as for the origin of Huangmei Opera can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest, according to historical records, there were tea picking songs in Huangmei County, Hubei during the Tang Dynasty, through the Song Dynasty folk song exhibition and the influence of the Yuan Dynasty miscellaneous opera, gradually formed the prototype of Huangmei Opera, at that time it was called tea picking, picking children or Huangmei tunes, etc., belonging to folk leisure and entertainment.
According to relevant historical data, the Huangmei opera known to later generations was formed in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and spread in the vast area of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Speaking of which, Huangmei Opera can spread is also quite helpless, Huangmei County is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, because most of the terrain is lower than the river bank, there is a saying that "the river is on the house, the people are in the middle of the park", so natural disasters are frequent, and floods are more prominent.
This made the Huangmei people have to learn to sing Huangmei Opera in the disaster year, singing to escape the famine and beg, and the flow of disaster victims has promoted the development of Huangmei Opera from the mountainous areas to the rivers and lakes plains, and to the radiation to the adjacent areas.
It is worth mentioning that later, Huangmei Opera spread to the Anqing area of Anhui Province, and was called "Huai Tone" or "Huai Tune", which was improved in the Anqing area, and then became the well-known Huangmei Opera in later generations.
Compared with Peking Opera and Henan Opera, Li Hongyu prefers Huangmei Opera, which is beautifully sung and performed by young and beautiful women.
In order to make Youlan and others have a more vivid and profound understanding of Huangmei Opera, Li Hongyu specially invited several Huangmei women who can sing tea tunes to sing live singing.
When the Huangmei women spoke, Youlan and Zining and the others immediately felt a fresh and sweet feeling, refreshing and refreshing, and the songs they had sung before were two completely different ways of singing and feeling, and they loved this kind of beautiful opera.
Since Youlan and the others like Huangmei Opera, then the next thing is much simpler, the rehearsal officially kicked off, and he is in control of the overall situation, and the dance and movements let Youlan and the others discuss and decide, in terms of singing and dancing, they are connoisseurs who are better than Li Hongyu, a layman, I don't know how many times.
Facing these young and beautiful warblers in front of him, Li Hongyu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, his mind was not on these dazzling girls, so he had no evil thoughts about them, and he never set foot in the courtyard where the girls lived, which made Zining and Du Juan and others more and more in awe of him.
Despite this, Li Hongyu is a man after all, and many things are inconvenient, so Yang Li'er helped a lot at this time.
It is no secret that Yang Li'er, who is dressed in men's clothes, is also a daughter, so she can freely enter and exit the boudoir of Youlan and Zining and others, plus she is of the same age, so she can communicate and communicate well.
Two days later, Li Hongyu finally waited for Hongxia, and his face was much haggard after not seeing Hongxia for a few days, and the whole person looked a little sluggish.
The so-called grief is nothing more than the death of the heart, for an arrogant woman like Hongxia who wants to make a career, what can hit her more than not being able to go back to the Qinglou to do things? What can she do without Qinglou?
However, when Hongxia saw Youlan and Zining and others who were gathering in the courtyard to practice Huangmei's opera singing, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and her eyes showed a look of surprise, she realized that Youlan and the others were not singing ordinary tunes, as if they were a local minority.
Zishuang was overjoyed when she saw Hongxia, and hurriedly greeted Hongxia and greeted her warmly, Hongxia took very good care of her in the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and she couldn't forget this affection.
After receiving her deed of sale from Zishuang's hand, Hongxia's face showed a complicated look, her hands trembled and she held it, and the corners of her eyes were filled with crystal tears.
"Childe's great kindness, Hongxia is toothless and unforgettable, and in the future, I will be a cow and a horse to repay Childe's kindness!"
Knowing that Li Hongyu intended to solicit, Hongxia hesitated for a moment and went to find Li Hongyu, and after meeting, she knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Li Hongyu three times.
Li Hongyu is a rare talent in the field of lyrics, music, calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, and now he is preparing to set up a drama club to promote drama, Hongxia naturally can't ask for help, this is an opportunity to get ahead.
Hongxia can even manage such a big stall as Zuiyue Pavilion, forcing Liu Hongmei to almost go to a dead end, not to mention a newly established drama club, she is not well organized.
"We will be a family in the future, Sister Xia doesn't need to be polite." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he saw this, and stepped forward to help Hongxia up.
With Hongxia's help, the rehearsal of "The Female Concubine" will undoubtedly be smoother, after all, Hongxia has been a flower explorer at the Oiran Conference, and has rich experience in singing and dancing, so she will be able to make up more suitable details.
At the end of September, "The Female Horse" held a public performance at the Drunken Moon Pavilion.
In order to prepare for this performance, Liu Hongmei deliberately built a stage with a curtain in the hall of the welcome attic, so that the scene on the stage could be changed, which had never been done before.
Prior to this, in order to promote "The Female Concubine", Liu Hongmei had released the news in advance, revealing to the outside world that this was a drama written by Li Hongyu, telling the story of a strange woman who bravely rescued her fiancΓ©, and at that time, Ran Concubines would come to watch it in person, which caused a lot of sensation in Yangzhou City.
In fact, the three words "female concubine" alone are full of gimmicks, coupled with the reputation of Li Hongyu, who is in the limelight, makes the outside world full of interest in this so-called "drama" "Female Concubine".
Therefore, the tickets on the scene were sold out early by the dignitaries and nobles of Yangzhou City, and everyone wanted to see what this drama performed by the Oiran Conference Sanding Jia was.
