The three of them don't look at it less, but they can all be used, Zhiwen himself doesn't have to say, climb high and low and give up who else, Song Xiance, the ability to imitate other people's handwriting, this trip is very useful, as for Ma Er, he naturally acts as an eye and ear, without him, it will be a lot more difficult to do things in Datong City.

"Childe, the script." The little guy came back quickly and handed Zhiwen a beautiful handscroll, "You take your time, if you like it, it's okay to take it." After speaking, he nodded with a smile and quietly retreated.

Zhiwen took the handscroll, shook his hand and opened it, only to find that it was a folded long scroll, the cover has words and paintings, and there are words inside.

Zhiwen was amazed, but Song Xiance next to him ignored it, his mind was on the stage, although his background was not very rich, but he had also seen these things, so he would not make such a fuss as Zhiwen.

"Ming Feng Ji", the cover is from top to bottom, and there are three large characters in the body.

It's "remembering" again, Zhiwen lamented in his heart, is it another story of an infatuated man and a woman?

In fact, at the beginning, Zhiwen was not so unbearable when he watched the play, the play in the Peony Pavilion, he was the same as everyone else, and he watched it with taste, although he didn't understand much, but it did not prevent him from immersing himself in the atmosphere of the play.

However, this kind of performance is nothing more than feeling fresh at the beginning, and the great fame of the Peony Pavilion, and as soon as the freshness passes, Zhiwen can't stand this babbling singing, so the sound like fairy music in other people's ears has become his lullaby.

According to Zhiwen's observation, there are not many people who can really understand and completely indulge in these plays, most of them are similar to him, half understand them, and some are even inferior to him, but when they watch the plays, they are more invested than him, and they can watch them with relish even if they don't know why.

The reason for this is that everyone likes this kind of atmosphere, this lively atmosphere, with rapping, singing and accompaniment.

If you can read a few words, you can still read books, but after all, you are more illiterate, you can't read books, and you can have fun, except for listening to books, you can watch plays.

As a result, this opera, which has both sound and shape, has become the most popular program, even people like Song Xiance who have read books are no exception, even if they have watched these plays several times, it does not prevent them from watching them again with relish.

When Zhiwen's curiosity was still there, he still wanted to compare what kind of music these operas he sang in later generations, and in his impression, the so-called quintessence of Peking Opera was only available in the Qing Dynasty, so what was it that was rehearsed in front of his eyes?

On this question, Zhiwen asked Song Xiance, Song Xiance didn't know how to answer at all, only said that drama is drama, how can there be these famous halls, in desperation, Zhiwen can only analyze according to his own poor opera common sense, this should be the Kunqu opera known as the "ancestor of a hundred operas" in later generations.

"Huh!" pressed the character to look at the script of the play, but found that although this "Song of the Phoenix" is called "Ji", and the name of the play "Ming Feng" sounds like a routine of talented and beautiful people, it is not about the love of children at all.

There are a total of forty-one plays in the whole play, and it is estimated that it will take two to three days to complete the performance from beginning to end, which is completely a big play compared to the plays watched in these two days.

"The Legend of the Ming Phoenix" tells the story of the battle between the father and son of Yan Song and Yan Shifan during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, led by Xia Yan, and the story of the struggle between the father and son of Yan Song and Yan Shifan.

In particular, the plays "Eating Tea", "Writing Books", "Impeachment", and "Beheading Yang" describe the righteousness and awe-inspiring spirit of Yang Jisheng, who died due to the impeachment of Yan Song in history, and the face-to-face struggle with Yan Dang between life and death.

"Interesting." Zhiwen couldn't help but whisper, and continued to look down with interest.

In the forty-one plays, the plays of Sheng (Yang Jisheng) and Dan (Zhang's) ended in the fifteenth play, and then the original No. 2 person, Xia Yan, became the protagonist.

The reason why it is called Ming Feng Ji is to refer to Xia Yan and other ten ministers who opposed Yan Song as "Shuangzhong and Eight Righteousness", and the spirit of their fight with Yan Song is likened to "Chaoyang Danfeng singing together".

"It's finally your wait." After reading the script in general, Zhiwen said with a smile, and finally shocked Song Xiance, who was addicted to Shengdan's singing.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhi."

"Here, you can see." Zhiwen handed over the playbook and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow in this play, the emperor will finally appear." ”

Song Xiance took it, and as soon as he saw the title of the play, he said, "It turned out to be this play, but it's rare, this kind of tome is not easy to see, yes, there is indeed the emperor's play, or the play of Shizong of this dynasty (Emperor Jiajing's temple number)." ”

"Yo, listen to your tone, I'm very familiar with this play." Zhiwen said.

"Mingfengji, I can't watch it twice in the past year, and I don't dare to be familiar with the singing tunes, but the plot synopsis is still clear to me." Song Xiance said very confidently.

"This play has been there for a long time?" Zhiwen asked, looking at Song Xiance's appearance, Ming Fengji doesn't look like a play that just came out.

"It's been a good time." Song Xiance replied, "According to my teacher, it probably came out during the Longqing period. Well, Longqing is the era name of Mu Zong, after Jiajing. ”

Afraid that Zhiwen didn't know much about the history of this dynasty, Song Xiance also made a special explanation.

Zhiwen was a little confused, Ming Fengji was talking about the Jiajing Dynasty, it is said that this kind of thing involving the government and politics is made into a story and opera, how can it be separated for a long time, especially in the play, there is still some disrespect for Emperor Jiajing, as soon as Jiajing collapsed, someone jumped out and pointed at his nose and scolded?

Da Ming's thoughts, as well as his remarks, seem to be really relaxed.

Shaking his head, Zhiwen put these thoughts behind him, these things had little to do with him.

"Mr. Song, since you have watched this play, when will this emperor be able to appear?" Zhiwen asked.

They came to Datong here, and after listening to the drama here for a few days, they were not idle and had nothing to do, but they came specifically for the drama with the role of the emperor, and tomorrow's play finally made their waiting come to fruition.

"I have to watch the troupe." Song Xiance explained that in the same play, each troupe is not exactly the same, and will add or subtract some scenes according to their own conditions, "However, as soon as tomorrow night, at noon the slowest day after tomorrow, how can you see the emperor appear." ”
