Chapter 127: Bai Qiuju enters the art garden
As soon as Guo Yu and Wang Zhaoxiang walked into the living room, they saw several large works of Suzhou embroidery with mahogany brackets in the middle of the living room. These works are beautifully patterned, ingeniously conceived, meticulously embroidered, lively stitching, and elegant colors. The local characteristics are strong, the style is unique, and these Suzhou embroideries are embroidered on both sides, so both sides are viewing, which is even more rare. The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the dragon and phoenix on both sides are actually different colors, the peony brocade chicken picture, the color is gorgeous, bright and moving. Several koi fish of different colors in the koi fish picture sway slightly under the reflection of the light, as if they are alive.
Wang Zhaoxiang took out a scroll from a brocade box, opened the bundled ribbon, and let the guards take it and spread it out slowly, Guo Yu's eyes actually appeared in Qiu Ying's "Qingming Riverside Picture Handscroll", but Guo Yu took a closer look, it turned out to be the "Qingming Riverside Picture Handscroll" embroidered by Suzhou, this is a long scroll with a width of 30 centimeters and a length of nearly four meters. However, the appearance of such a boutique Suzhou embroidery gives people a really shocking feeling.
Guo Yu stepped forward and gently touched the picture with his hand, not daring to use too much force, even if it damages a silk thread, it is a crime, Wang Zhaoxiang told Guo Yu about the history of Suzhou embroidery and the famous embroidery girls in Suzhou, Wu Mu, Xue, Liu Banyue, Zhao Huijun, Cheng Jingfeng, Chen Yun, etc., it seems that no matter which line, it can be remembered by future generations if it is done to the extreme.
After chatting about Su Xiu, Wang Zhaoxiang said, "My lord, the people of the Xie family class are waiting outside the garden now, if the adults don't want to see them, I will ask someone to send them back." ”
"Since you're here, let's come in and see you, after all, people have good intentions." Guo Yu has not yet reached the point where he does not see outsiders.
Guo Yu and Wang Zhaoxiang were drinking tea and chatting in the living room, but Xie Baoyuan was anxious in the carriage outside, seeing that President Wang had been in for more than an hour, why hadn't anyone come out to call him in. He came to see Guo Yuyi today to thank Guo Yu for his reward a few days ago, mainly thinking about playing the path of Guo Yu, a high-ranking and powerful person, of course, he is not for any promotion to make a fortune, Xie Baoyuan is also a person with a small family, after falling in love with Kunqu Opera in his early years, he wanted to carry forward Kunqu Opera again, and now Kunqu Opera has gradually declined, if it is not saved, I am afraid that there is a danger of breaking the generation. Now that there is such a big man as Guo Yu, who has a lot of power and likes Kunqu Opera, Xie Baoyuan thought that he had seen an opportunity, so he repeatedly asked Wang Zhaoxiang to intercede, and begged Wang Zhaoxiang to introduce him on his behalf.
Kunqu opera appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and quickly became the most popular opera at that time, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty dominated the Chinese opera scene for nearly 300 years, the Ming Dynasty's southern officials, literati's leisurely life and the pursuit of the ethereal realm, endowed Kunqu opera with a soothing rhythm and graceful artistic conception. However, by the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Kunqu opera gradually declined, and the soothing and melancholy style was obviously incompatible with the preferences of the people at that time, and it gradually declined. Later generations recorded that when the country was first established in 49 years, there was no professional Kunqu opera troupe in the whole country, which shows how it has declined, and Kunqu opera during the Republic of China period has been on the verge of disappearing.
"Class master, don't be anxious, since this Lord Guo likes Kunqu Opera, I think he will meet us, isn't there still Master Wang talking about it inside." A sweet female voice comforted Xie Baoyuan.
"Qiu Ju, now this Guo Zhen guard is our perfect opportunity, if we miss it, I really don't know what will happen in the future, so this time I want to seize this opportunity, if it succeeds, our Kunqu Opera, our team can be retained, not like now, not hungry and hungry, many people will have a problem supporting their families." Xie Baoyuan's words were a bit bleak.
"Then what if this Lord Guo is just a whim, what should we do?" The woman also said with some concern.
"That, that, that" Xie Baoyuan said a few times, but finally didn't say anything.
"Class master, what's wrong, what do you say?" The female voice asked anxiously.
Xie Baoyuan was ruthless, and finally said, "Then it depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice or not, aren't you inspired to dedicate yourself to Kunqu Opera and don't care about it, maybe this time it's really, hey." At the end, there was only a sigh.
The woman didn't make a sound, but at this time her mind was surging, is this the last way out for the play, I learned opera at the age of three, debuted on stage at the age of six, and was famous in Suzhou City at the age of fifteen, but it stopped there, after all, people nowadays, there are really few people who want to enjoy the lingering and sympathetic and small bridge and flowing water artistic conception opera of Kunqu Opera, I love Kunqu Opera deeply, and I wake up crying because of the decline of Kunqu Opera in my dreams.
One of the guards knocked on the wheel and said, "Several, our lords have an invitation, please come with me." ”
Xie Baoyuan hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, then stretched out his hand to pick up the woman, the two followed the guard into the art garden, the two followed the guard through the garden to the door of the living room, the guard knocked on the door, and then opened the door and let the two in.
Guo Yu only saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing a robe at the door, and a pair of eyes, and after the middle-aged man avoided the door, Guo Yu felt that the world in front of him appeared a piece of color, black hair without any jewelry, but the makeup was extraordinarily beautiful, a few strands of sideburns hung down, with that slightly sad face, giving people an urge to hold it in his arms and take care of it, isn't this a living Lin Daiyu, Guo Yu didn't know what Lin Daiyu looked like, but although the person in front of him didn't speak, But that's how it feels to Guo Yu.
"My lord, the villain is Xie Baoyuan, the head of the Kunqu Opera Troupe of the Xie family, and I came here this time to thank you for your generous gifts." Guo Yu knew that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, he would invite the opera troupe to sing in the hall or something, and he would go to the house to thank him after the reward, but he didn't hear that the Republic of China also had such a saying, maybe this is a tradition left behind.
"You don't have to go out of your way to thank you, it's normal to watch the show and vote for rewards." Guo Yu said it a little smoothly, and even the words of later generations popped out.
"By the way, this young lady hasn't been introduced yet." Guo Yu asked seemingly casually.
"The little girl Bai Qiuju, the actor of the Xie family's class." Bai Qiuju's voice is beautiful and sweet, but Guo Yu feels that there is a bit of a long-term meaning in it, it won't be that the singing is too deep into the play, and the usual life has also brought it out, it is really possible, many artists who are devoted to it have some expressions in this regard.
"My lord, Qiu Ju is the Dan corner of Miss Peony Pavilion that day, and it is the pillar of our Xie family's class." Xie Baoyuan introduced on the side.
"Please sit down, don't be restrained, guard, serve tea to you." Guo Yu said.
Due to the addition of Xie Baoyuan and Bai Qiuju, several people naturally chatted about Kunqu Opera, Xie Baoyuan is also a person with a flexible mouth, and he expressed his meaning in a roundabout way, that is, he is ready to take refuge in Guo Yu, whether it is a private theater troupe, or Guo Yu's financial support, anyway, I just want Guo Yu to care about this little flower that is about to wither, although it is not extremely miserable, but it is also unbearable to refuse, especially Bai Qiuju's somewhat sad eyes glanced at Guo Yu from time to time, making Guo Yu unable to speak. Anyway, we don't lack these little money, so let's agree.
Guo Yu's nod was so happy that Xie Baoyuan was happy, but Bai Qiuju's expression was indeed mixed. Now there are a total of twenty-five people in the Xie family class, who originally lived in the garden behind the stage of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, but now it has become Guo Yu's private troupe, and it is about to move to the art garden to live, the art garden is said to be a garden, but it is not too big, Guo Yu doesn't want these people to babble all day long to disturb his clean life, so let the guards buy a large house about a kilometer away from the back, which is also a Suzhou architectural pattern with blue tiles and white walls, but it lacks the scenery carved by the garden, just a quiet alley house. However, Xie Baoyuan is very satisfied with being able to live here, there are many rooms enough for these people to live, and the large courtyard is very good for practicing opera, and Guo Yu usually gives money, Guo Yu gives the title of excavation, sorting and protection of Kunqu Opera art, and requires Xie Baoyuan to organize people to keep a complete record of all the Kunqu Opera repertoire that can be found now, which can be regarded as a contribution to Kunqu Opera art.
In the end, Xie Baoyuan said that Bai Qiuju could move to live in the art garden, Guo Yu loves Kunqu Opera, and Bai Qiuju can perform a few parts for Guo Yu at any time.
Guo Yu was also a little tempted after listening to Xie Baoyuan's words, he can listen to music at any time when he is usually fine, and he often goes out, Sun Yaoqin is also very lonely and lonely at home alone, and it is good to chat with multiple people. Of course, such a beautiful woman staying in her own home is more pleasing to the eye.
Bai Qiuju seemed to have been mentally prepared, and took her sister Bai Dongmei to live in the art garden that day.
Seeing that it is about to enter May, Guo Yu is ready to go back to modern times, and he has been here for more than a month, and Guo Yu is afraid that his family will worry. After talking to Chen Yougong, Wu Erzhu, Zhou Wu, Mu Sheng and others, Guo Yu disappeared in the time and space of the Republic of China.
Guo Yu, who returned home, was at home for a few days, and Huang Wenjing was also like glue, after dealing with the affairs of several companies and some miscellaneous matters, Guo Yu contacted Nev, he was ready to buy a batch of weapons, his troops in the Republic of China time and space are getting stronger and stronger, and the development speed has entered the fast lane because of the solution of the population problem, and his weapon production has not yet entered the right track, so there is a shortage of weapons.
"Guo, you finally contacted me, I thought I was about to forget about my friend, how is it, how are you doing?" Nev still spoke so bluntly.
"Nev, I have business I want to talk to you about, are you in Ukraine, I need to go over and talk to you in detail this time." Guo Yu said.
"I'm in Israel now, if you have time, you might as well come here to have fun, I will entertain you well, I have a lot of friends in Israel, I can introduce them to you, they are also big sellers of weapons, how about it." Nev said.
This is a good opportunity to open up his own channels for purchasing weapons, Guo Yu immediately agreed, and went to Israel to find Nirvana.
