Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ju Yiya
After the rehearsal, Ning Xiang offered to perform a stage play in Dengxian Tower, Wang Xiang was naturally twelve points in favor, and when Degui learned the news, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and immediately asked people to post a notice outside Dengxian Tower to set up a stage.
Although the white fox is classic, it can't stand watching it every day, and the visitors in Chang'an City have long lost their original freshness. Even if there are clever people looking for someone to write a new stage play, most of them are just imitations of the green fox, and they are far from the original classics.
There are many talented people in Chang'an City, it's not that there are no talented people, but the stage play has just appeared, and it is indeed not easy to make a script comparable to the white fox in a short period of time.
However, I heard that Dengxian Tower is going to perform a new stage play today, which still attracts a large number of spectators, because the white fox is from Dengxian Tower.
There is a more important reason, the notice posted in Dengxian Tower makes it very clear that the new stage play will be performed by Ning Xiang, Xiaoyun, Qing'er and Xiaobei from Yicui Building.
Hearing the news, even the diners who were eating in Dengxian Tower didn't care about eating, and they ran out one after another, waiting downstairs to occupy a seat, waiting to watch the performance.
Before Ning Xiang and the four of them went downstairs, they heard someone downstairs chanting their names, and the voices were getting louder and louder.
Outside the crowd, a woman with a face towel rode by, heard the call, and turned around curiously to ask a maid what to do, seeing that the clothes of the two of them were not from the Tang Dynasty.
"Aqinu, what are these Han people doing?" The woman with a face towel has black and bright hair, and the upper layer of hair is braided into several slender braids and scattered on the head, which has a unique charm, the woman speaks not the Central Plains language, the pronunciation is very fast, but the voice is crisp and smart, like a wind chime, it is good.
"Princess Juyiya, they set up a red cloth platform as if they were going to perform a dance."
"Dance!" The woman's eyes lit up, and she jumped down from her horse, her movements light and nimble, "Let's go and see." ”
In the cheers of everyone, Ning Xiang and Xiaoyun smiled out, Xiaobei was the thinnest, although it was not the first time he had faced so many people, and his little face was still red when he came to the stage.
Wang Xiang also stood in the crowd and waited with great interest to watch the performance, of course it was not what they had rehearsed before, it was just Ning Xiang deliberately teasing him.
The story of A Chinese Ghost Story is much more exciting than that of the White Fox, and people who watch it are fascinated unconsciously, and Ju Yiya, who saw the stage play for the first time, has her eyes shining brightly, although she doesn't really understand what the story of the performance is, after all, she doesn't know much about the Central Plains language.
At the end of the script, a dance by Ning Xiang ended, and Xianyun's elegant dance immediately won everyone's applause.
Ju Yiya in the crowd saw the rise and wanted to show her hand on stage, she was the best girl in equestrian and the best girl in dancing in Gaochang.
In the end, it was Akinu who whispered something in her ear before she gave up her plan to perform on stage, but just by looking at the eager eyes, she knew that she actually wanted to go up very much.
In Ju Yiya's opinion, the woman in white dancing on the stage was the best-looking one she had ever seen dancing, but it was still inferior to herself.
"Akinu, what did they do before?" Ju Yiya asked curiously.
Aqinu is her maid and is proficient in the Central Plains language, and she only took Aqinu alone to the Tang Dynasty this time.
"Princess Juyiya, they are acting out the story of a scholar and a female ghost."
"The story of a scholar and a female ghost?"
Although Ju Yiya is very intelligent, she is not familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, so she said curiously: "Tell me about it." "The first time she came to Datang, she was full of curiosity about everything.
Although Akinu is just a maid, it is not simple, just after watching the performance, she can tell the story of A Chinese Ghost Story completely, and after listening to the story, Ju Yiya couldn't help but ask: "Is this story true?" ”
Akinu smiled: "Princess, this story must be made up with such twists and turns, but the Central Plains is originally a place full of magical stories, maybe there is such a story." ”
Ju Yiya sighed softly: "I have heard that the Central Plains is not only rich and prosperous, but also the culture is broad and profound, but I didn't expect to see a story on the road that is more interesting than the story of Princess Loulan that we circulated in Gaochang, no wonder my father is so interested in the culture of the Central Plains, I don't know who made up this story." ”
After the incense performance on the stage ended, he smiled slightly and owed everyone to Xiaoyun and then retreated into Dengxian Tower.
"One more time!"
"One more time!"
Looking at the emotional crowd, Wang Xiang hurriedly came to the stage, today there is no Cheng Chuliang with a group of brothers to help him maintain order, and it will not be good if there is chaos.
"Everyone, don't be impatient." Wang Xiang waved his hand and said: "Performing a stage play is not as good as singing, it's still very tiring to perform a performance, I don't think you want Miss Ning Xiang to be tired, everyone can rest assured, there will be more wonderful stage plays for everyone to see in the future." But now, everyone must be hungry after watching the performance for so long, and all the wine and food in Dengxian Tower are half price today! ”
"Prince Wang, is today's story also from you?" A young genius couldn't help but ask, these days he has also been invited to write some stories, but compared with the white fox and a Chinese ghost story, I don't know how much worse, the literati are always unconvinced, especially the prince in front of him was still a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it a few months ago.
Wang Xiang smiled modestly and said, "It's a clumsy work." ”
When the young genius heard Wang Xiang's admission, he sighed and said: "Wang Gongzi's talent is really admirable, I don't know if there is a chance to ask Wang Gongzi for advice." ”
"Well said, well said." Wang Xiang was polite.
After speaking, he said mysteriously to everyone: "Although it is impossible for Dengxian Tower to invite Miss Ning Xiang to perform stage plays often, the guests who eat on the third floor of Dengxian Tower can see more wonderful stories in another way, which is also a rare enjoyment." ”
After Wang Xiang's persuasion, everyone no longer gathers outside the Dengxian Building to make noise, some people disperse, some people enter the Dengxian Building to eat, all the wine and food are half price, it is a rare opportunity, many people have long wanted to taste the self-service hot pot of Dengxian Building, but because of the shyness in the pocket, they have not had the opportunity to try, and now they are a little impatient, but the third floor is not the scope of their consideration, although the wonderful story told by Wang Xiang is very tempting, but the minimum of one hundred taels of silver is not for everyone to eat.
Ju Yiya also followed the crowd into the Dengxian Tower, but she was not just for eating, he was more interested in the wonderful stories told by Wang Xiang.
