The Mystery Chapter 14 Wang Cuiqiao's Past

"A miserable empty tomb, where will the jade people go? I made a virtual fluttering mattress and turned into dust, and there was nowhere to find the hard support of the hairpin box. The empty sachet is still in the soil, and I can't understand why, so I can't arouse the mountain god to ask the canal. On the stage, a half-foot-long beard is singing with a miserable cry, which is the love story of Tang Huang and Yang Yuhuan.

Since the Song Dynasty, with the further improvement of people's material life, the spiritual life has also made great progress, whether poetry or opera acrobatics, those poems that express the thoughts of the lover and the unswerving love of the aria are endless, in various categories, the word is the most common expression technique, because the word is not only short and concise, catchy, but also can show the literati's writing level, especially welcomed by the public, in addition, opera is also a very popular form of expression, whether the palace is inside, or the people's village, there are some people who babble all day long, but most of the people who sang at that time were men, and women were not allowed to go on the stage.

For the love story of Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Yuhuan, there are countless versions in this society, in the poems, Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" is the most famous, in the folk, it is the most common opera, generally large families, but whenever there is any red and white happy event, you have to invite the troupe to sing a few days of big plays, the people who watch the drama are often crowded, many people have never gone to school in their lives, but they can export chapters, know a lot of allusions, the reason is that they have watched more dramas, and the dramas have become their enlightenment education.

Chen Dong was wearing a short shirt, revealing his sturdy and dark chest, lying on a long bamboo chair, with a coffee table in his hand, a set of tea sets on it, and a snow-white towel.

To his left and right, there was a large group of fishermen, all of whom were also watching the performance on the stage intently, and when they saw the subtleties, they burst into applause from time to time.

This troupe was invited by Chen Dong, Chen Dong likes to listen to operas, and usually invites the troupe to sing at home for a few days during the New Year's holidays, this time they went to sea to do business and made a lot of money, plus although they met pirates, but there were no casualties, all the people and horses basically retreated, Chen Dong felt that this was the gods and Buddhas in heaven to bless himself, so he invited the troupe to come, so that many subordinates congratulated themselves.

Yun Qi sat beside Chen Dong, he also liked to watch plays, when he was a child, his family was in a remote village, and he had never seen a play, but he heard that there were a few old people in the village who often painted the scene of the so-called big drama to him, and then those old people would imitate a few words, but the singing was really ugly, Yun Qi wondered at that time, why such an ugly voice still had people like, and even so fascinated, it was really incomprehensible.

Later, when he really heard the real opera, he was immediately attracted by this art form, and Yun Qi was amazed by the beautiful singing, beautiful body and inner charm.

The play I watched today is about Yang Yuhuan was forced to die in Ma Weipo by the ministers, Tang Xuanzong has been unable to let go, day and night, and after he finally sat down in the country, he took some of his subordinates and came to the place where Yang Yuhuan was buried, ready to move the grave of the concubine who died that year, but he didn't expect that when his subordinates opened the old tomb, they found that it was an empty grave, even the wrapped brocade mattress and the burial of the golden hairpin, the box were all gone, only saw a sachet, Tang Xuanzong saw this, couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart, That's when the above lines were sung.

The actors on the stage are very hard-working, their voices are like crying and complaining, and they are frustrated, showing the appearance of a sad emperor vividly and vividly, which makes the audience in the audience also sad, especially on the other side of the stage, there are many crying voices faintly coming from a screen, which is a special area separated for the female dependents, and Chen Dong's wife and concubine are sitting in it.

After the old student Yiyi was finished, the curtain was closed, and a chubby old man walked up from behind the stage, he waved to the audience, and then said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the third scene, everyone will rest for a while, and please continue to enjoy the fourth scene after half an hour." ”

It turns out that this big opera, the so-called singing for three days, is not from morning to night, but is divided into several songs every day, and it is necessary to rest for a period of time after singing, otherwise no one will have such a good physical strength and voice, and I am afraid that my voice will be dumb after three days.

When everyone saw that the play had stopped, they stood up, some hurried to the toilet, some people reached out and bent over on the spot, moved their numb hands and feet, and more gathered together to discuss the story in the play.

"Yun Qi, do you think this Yang Yuhuan is really that beautiful? Let the Tang Emperor not forget his life and death? Chen Dong didn't get up on the recliner, picked up the teapot and took a sip directly to his mouth, turned his head to Yun Qi beside him and asked.

"Big brother, Yang Yuhuan must be very beautiful, otherwise how can he make Tang Huang fascinated like this, as for how beautiful, I haven't seen it, but it's ......"

Yun Qi's mind suddenly appeared Xu Hai's wife Sister Wang's appearance, I really don't know how beautiful this Yang Yuhuan is, but Sister Wang's beauty is undoubted, although he was still a child at the time, at first sight, he was also suspected of being a celestial, so surprised that he forgot everything, so far I think about it, Yun Qi has also seen many women, but none of them are so beautiful, but if Yun Qi wants to say Sister Wang's beauty, Yun Qi can't find a word to describe it, and even now he can't remember where Sister Wang's beauty is, as if everything is vague, There was only a slender figure left in the impression, and the shiny face, everything else was hidden in the night, and although the face was bright, it was like a sun, and no one could see her specific appearance.

"Big brother, Yang Yuhuan must be very beautiful, since ancient times in China, there have been hundreds of millions of women, but only Yang Yuhuan and the other four can be called the four beauties, it can be seen that their beauty is not what we imagined." Yun Qi thought for a moment and replied to Chen Dong.

"How beautiful is this woman? It's not that people are regarded as trouble, I once heard the great monk say 'pink skeleton', appearance is just a person's skin, after a person dies, everything returns to dust, the big husband is alive, he can't affect the great cause because of beauty, right? Chen Dongdao.

Yun Qi understands Chen Dong, if this sentence is said by an outsider, Yun Qi will definitely suspect his duplicity, and from Chen Dong's mouth, Yun Qi does not doubt it at all, Chen Dong is a very upright person, without many delicate thoughts, and has a Jianghu atmosphere on his body, for him, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, this is the golden rule, he will never lose himself in beauty.

"Big brother, I once saw Xu Hai's wife, known as Sister Wang, she is very beautiful, and she is also very smart, I don't know if my eldest brother has seen it?" Yun Qi asked with a smile.

"The woman." Chen Dong pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully.

"Although I haven't seen her, I believe that she is indeed very beautiful, but a woman who stands out in everything and overpowers Xu Hai in the limelight is not a good woman."

"Huh?" Yun Qi didn't expect Chen Dong to comment like this.

"Do you know where this woman came from?" Chen Dong looked at Yun Qi with some mystery.

"I don't know!" Yun Qi shook his head honestly.

"This woman turned out to be the Oiran of Jinling, do you know what the Oiran is? That is the most beautiful courtesan selected every two years in Jinling, her name is Wang Cuiqiao, it turned out to be after the eunuch, but the father because of the crime, so the whole family was confiscated, this Wang Cuiqiao also became a courtesan, because she was beautiful, and later became the Oiran of Jinling, so that countless rich businessmen flocked to come, I heard that there were several gentlemen who fought for him, and made a fuss, at that time in Jinling, many people were proud to see Wang Cuiqiao. ”

"Countless rich people want to redeem Wang Cuiqiao, and then return to Xiangge, but this woman is really strange, rich and noble sons don't want it, young talents don't want it, but in the end they chose Xu Hai, who is nothing, and no one can figure out what the reason is. After marrying Xu Hai, he came to Fujian and has been helping Xu Hai with family affairs, many people in the outside world say that she is smarter than Xu Hai, but in my opinion, this is Xu Hai is too fortunate for her, let her do everything, Xu Hai I know, I have dealt with it a few times, this guy, if he sticks to the hair, he is more shrewd than a monkey. ”

"I also heard that that Sister Wang is smarter than Xu Hai." Yun Qi remembered his previous experience in Xu Hai's mansion.

"Boy, this biting dog doesn't bark, and the dog that barks doesn't necessarily bite, although I haven't seen the woman surnamed Wang, but this Xu Hai is definitely one of the smartest people in the world, this woman can be obtained by Xu Hai, which also shows Xu Hai's means, but Xu Hai is good at forbearance, not as flamboyant as Wang Cuiqiao." Chen Dongdao.

"I have always wondered, why did Xu Hai, such a smart person, agree to be a hostage of the Japanese? Isn't he afraid that his uncle's business will really lose money, and he will never come back? Yun Qi thought about it, and still asked the question he had been thinking about for a few days.

"Hehe, of course Xu Hai is afraid, but now Xu Qianxue has something else to mortgage? Everything that can be exchanged for money has been taken out, and now there are only people left, so you can't take Wang Cuiqiao to mortgage, it is estimated that the Japanese are willing, and Xu Hai does not agree...... Haha......" Chen Dong laughed.

Yun Qi grinned, this Brother Chen really dared to think.

After Chen Dong laughed, he said to Yun Qi again: "This Xu Hai, I just said, he is an extremely smart person, since he dares to be a hostage, he has a certain amount of confidence, I am sure that even if his uncle goes bankrupt this time and can't afford to pay back the money, the Japanese will not kill Xu Hai, maybe he will call Xu Hai a brother after a while." ”

Yun Qi shook his head in disbelief, how could this be possible, if there was really that day, Xu Hai would definitely be cut into meat sauce by the angry Japanese at the first time, how could he still survive.

"You don't believe me?" Chen Dong smiled and nodded Yunqi with his fingers, and said in a joking tone: "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet, if I lose, I will promise you a request, if you lose, how about you put on the costume on stage and sing me a big play?" ”

Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, this bet was really unexpected, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Big brother, aren't you embarrassed?" Where can I sing, if I lose, how about inviting Big Brother to a meal? ”

"Who rarely eats your stuff?" Chen Dong pouted, "If you win, I still have to promise you a request, in case your request is to be the boss of our fleet, do I agree or not?" If you want to gamble, you have to afford to lose, you see that Xu Hai is atmospheric, although I don't like him, but he dares to gamble his life, I still admire him. ”

"Okay, I'll bet." Yun Qi gritted his teeth, in case he really won, then he could justifiably let Chen Dong borrow some of his own men and horses, go to take revenge in a dignified manner, and find Xu Hai to destroy all the people who killed his entire village.

"High fives for vows."

"Papapa" two palms struck in the air, and made an oath, for the fishermen who begged for a living at sea, they swore that they would definitely abide by it, and there was no possibility of breaking the contract.
