'Come on, come on, come and see, come and see. In the corner of the theater of Shengming Temple, Xiaohu slammed the gong, knocked twice and shouted, "Come and see, see how a stone monkey makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, come and see." ''Stone monkeys? What stone monkeys? A man waiting outside the theater to watch the play asked.

'Come and see, come and see, I guarantee that you have never seen it in your life, come and see a stone monkey that jumped out of the stone, how to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, make trouble in the Sea Dragon Palace, and finally fight 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, come and see." Xiaohu didn't answer the man's question and continued to shout, but the content of his shouting had already answered the man's question just now.

'Mother, let's go see the stone monkeys, I want to see the stone monkeys. A little boy took his mother's hand and shouted, his mother couldn't twist him, although she didn't want to see any stone monkeys at all, she came to see the performance of a hundred operas, but she couldn't bear the child's trouble, so she had to bring the child over to watch.

Now the time is morning, early in the morning after breakfast, Li Chen took the three children, came to the Shengming Temple theater square, a few days ago they have paid the rent, rent for three days, rent a place in the theater, ready to start begging for life.

More and more people. Ah Xiang looked nervously at the front of the stage. They were the first to start the gong, and several other groups of artists were still preparing, but it was almost over, because it was the first day of opening, so Li Chen wanted to grab a head incense.

Don't be nervous, just like we did the other day, we've been practicing for many days, and we're going to get it. ''What if we don't do well?'' Ah Xiang is suffering from gains and losses, "No, come, you come." Li Chen was about to enlighten Ah Xiang, but Xiaohu just finished beating the gong and returned to the backstage, and Li Chen brought the three of them together.

For this day, we get up early and stay late. Desperately prepare, desperately practiced. Li Chen looked at the three children one by one, "The three of you are the best, you have to be confident, when we practiced well, didn't Xiaohong, Ah Yong, and Fu Bo enjoy watching it?" Definitely. ’

And even if you don't perform well, they can't understand it, and no one has performed this play before, and they will take your performance as such. Li Chen finally patted Sanxiao's shoulder and gave them encouragement, "Let's go, let's play, give them a good look, and let them be so surprised that their jaws dropped." ’

'Xiaohong, don't you walk around, okay?' I'm almost dizzy on your head. ''Lady, you, will they succeed?'' ''Who are they?'' ''Oh, people are dying of sorrow, and you still laugh at painting people.'' At Yang Er's house, Xiaohong walked around uneasily, making Yang Er's head dizzy when she was reading a book.

'It will succeed, don't worry, Li Jun is talented, and the story is very good, I have never heard such a wonderful story, they will succeed. After teasing her maid, Yang Erniang spoke, her voice was flat and cold, just like her.

'Lady, we haven't been out for many days, so let's just go out for a walk.' Xiaohong said to her master, "Yes, Sanxin, it's best to go to Shengming Temple for a walk, so that you can take advantage of your heart." "Oh, sister, you know me best, and I can't hide anything from you, okay, go." I can't let go of my experience Xiaohong, I want to take my own master to the scene together, that little bit of caution, I can't hide Yang Er, who grew up together since childhood and is like a sister.

"Eldest sister, you also said that Li Jun is very talented and has a good heart, but he has staked his net worth, let's go and give him a show." Because they grew up together, they are called Niangzi, and sometimes Xiaohong follows the Tang Dynasty's name, called Niangzi. Sometimes she is called the eldest sister.

'Alright, alright, let's go.' Yang Er was so angry that he tapped Xiaohong's forehead, "Don't go, sooner or later I will be annoyed by you." , to support Li Chen, in fact, Yang Er also wants to go, as Xiaohong said, Li Chen bet on all his net worth.

'Ah Yong, prepare the car. Erniang is going out. With the permission of the master, Xiaohong ran out of the room happily as if she had escaped the reins, and asked Ah Yong to set the horse.

'Master. The man's whereabouts are unknown, and now that his injuries are healed, the servant thinks it is better to tell him to move out. The Fauber didn't know that he had come out of that place again.

'Wufang, Li Jun is not a wicked person, a person who will protect his children, no matter how evil he is, there is a limit. Yang Er shook his head, Fu Bo didn't say anything more, bowed his head slightly, and retreated.

'Where are the people?' Soon, Ah Yong set the donkey, Xiaohong helped Yang Er into the car, and got into it himself, Ah Yong drove the car, and soon came to Shengming Temple, Xiaohong poked his head out of the car, and carefully looked for Li Chen's stall.

'How could you not find it?' Xiaohong was a little anxious, she looked at the whole square, and several of them were not showers. A little further away from the main stage, there are stalls on the left and right. On the left is a dancing orchid, surrounded by a few playing. On the right is a booth with a hundred plays. Several entertainers performed juggling. Obviously neither.

'Will it be on the stage?' Xiaohong looked at the middle winner's stage, which was a semi-enclosed theater building, enclosed on three sides, with a terrace in front of it, with a total of two floors. The bottom is empty, and the main thing is to raise the theater so that people from a distance can see it. At present, there are three people on the stage, and they are performing a miscellaneous play.

In fact, thousands of years of Chinese history, how did the Song Dynasty have a place for entertainment, according to the archaeological results in recent years, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a theater.

A pottery opera building in the Eastern Han Dynasty was unearthed, which advanced the history of Chinese drama to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also broke the closed stage, which came from the Western point of view. Pottery opera building, red fetal quality, glazed green, a total of four floors, the bottom should be a place for people to enter and exit. The second floor is the performance stage, and the middle is empty, which is mainly a performance venue. One floor above is the Drum Tower. It's just that there are no famous dramas in the Eastern Han Dynasty that are enough to circulate to this day.

Actually, it's good to watch a variety show, I don't like that monkey, how can a monkey burst out of a rock. "What a monkey, that's a spirit monkey, that's not an ordinary stone, it's a female snail mending heavenly stone." Xiaohong turned around and glared at him.

The so-called miscellaneous drama is not a modern drama, but an evolution of military drama, which was very popular from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. There are a lot of performances and characters. There were only three people on stage, which was considered a few. fixed items. It's slowly similar to the drama of the future, but it's not yet.

In the north, it became a meta-miscellaneous drama. The south, about the Southern Song Dynasty, spread to the south, and slowly developed and integrated with local folk opera, becoming southern opera. This became the prototype of Chinese opera.

Did Li Jun say where they would set up their stalls? Without waiting for the two to evolve from bickering to quarreling, Yang Er spoke.

'It's like.... Xiaohong thought for a moment and looked at a place, "That's right, it's there." She pointed to a corner of the square in front of the theater under the shade of a tree.

'Haha, you can see that there is no one anymore. Ah Yong laughed, Xiaohong ignored him, showing a worried look, anyway, she had already found the place, she turned her head and said to Yang Er, "Sister, let's get over quickly." Seeing Yang Er nodding, she hurriedly got out of the car, helped Yang Er get out of the car, and drove Ah Yong to park.

Li Chen saw the two of them coming from a distance, and he didn't see it clearly, but he was too lazy to move, and now he was basking in the sun and was comfortable, so he lazily pushed Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, there are guests coming, go and greet you." ’

It will summon people. Xiaohu muttered, still went, and hurriedly ran back after a while, "It's Yang Erniang and Sister Xiaohong who are here." ''Little Red is here. When Li Chen heard this, he jumped up and hurried to greet him.

'Xiaohong, Yang Erniang, thank you for coming. 'It's the eldest lady who wants to come, and Ah Yong and I are just accompanying her.' If you want to thank you, thank you, auntie. Isn't it Yang Er? How did Yang become bigger, Li Chen was a little confused.

'Sit first, sit first, have you had lunch, if not, I'll let the puppy buy some.' We've just finished eating. As usual, there are business opportunities where there are crowds, and there will be vendors when there are business opportunities, and the four of them just bought something casually and dealt with lunch.

'You still buy it, don't you know how to save some money?' Xiao Hong's waist glared, he knew that in order to prepare for this stall, Li Chen had borrowed a lot of money from his eldest mother, and he had it several times. This money is not only for talking, but also for Li Chen's living expenses in the future.

'It's okay to buy a little, we're making a lot of money. Li Chen smiled and said, being scolded by Xiaohong, he was not angry at all, knowing that it was for his good, he explained, "After we came in the morning, the audience was quite popular, and we also earned a few hundred wen in the morning, and the business should be better in the afternoon." ’

'Erniang, Sister Xiaohong, stay in the afternoon to watch us perform. Ah Xiang pounced, grabbed Xiaohong's hand, looked at Yang Er and Xiaohong, she was still in awe of Yang Er, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous, otherwise according to her character, she should have held Yang Er's hand.

'Business is good?' Yang Er spoke, her voice was flat and cold, she was wearing a plain dress today, light white clothes. Xiaohong is dressed like a man for the convenience of her activities, with a robe and pants.

Of course, if it weren't for the noon break, no one would have seen the stalls. The puppy said proudly, 'We've got a lot of things to prepare, and it's unreasonable to be unpopular.' ’

It's not that you prepared, it's all the credit of Uncle Thirteen. "I also help, this is what Uncle Thirteen said, there is no merit and hard work." Ah Xiang and the puppy began to quarrel again, Li Chen smiled and stopped them, "You better go and rest again, it's about to start." ’

It's just a puppet show, what's so rare. Seeing that Li Chen invited Xiaohong and Yang Er to be the first, Xiaohong's mouth said that he would follow the master, but in fact, he looked elated and hummed unconvinced.
