Chapter 15 Listening to the Drama and Commenting on the Three Kingdoms
They had to go down the street to find a shop that sold fishing gear, and wherever it was sold, there was also a short-term rental service for fishing gear.
Walking two streets to the north, they walked to the relatively lively Yongli Street, and the four of them looked left and right, and found that there was a big red wooden-framed signboard on the left side of the front that read "Fishing in small letters," and there were several fishing nets on the rope hanging from the tree at the door.
Before entering, they discussed at the door again, and rented a total of four, one for each of them, to see how much they could catch. Just walked under the tree, the four of them were about to go in, at this time there was a sound of intense drums in the distance, first playing the drum and then beating the gong, the gong sound was accompanied by the drum sound, the main and secondary were clear, and the rhythm was shocking.
Unexpectedly, many people in front of me began to walk briskly in the direction of the drums. Most of the people who walked over were men, and they looked dressed appropriately, and some even looked rich.
Chen Zui said: "Otherwise, let's go and see what's going on first?" ”
Leng Chuxian saw that they were all curious, and she herself wanted to see what was going on. "Then let's go check it out first."
Along the way, there were still people walking briskly beside me. Ben thought of going there to find out more, but there were three people walking by, and their steps were not as anxious as others.
I heard one of them say: "I heard that this play in the afternoon, the 'Red Flower Opera Troupe' is a troupe specially invited from Beijing, this troupe is very famous in Beijing, it is said that when Cixi was alive, they would be invited into the palace to sing for her every New Year's Festival." ”
It turned out that they were going to the theater.
Another person rejoiced, "Really? Then we have a good eye today. ”
"What's the name of this afternoon's play?"
"Nagasaka Slope"
"This track is wonderful, let's go get a good spot." They also picked up the pace.
Duan Shaoling also said: "It is the story of Zhao Zilong's Changbanpo saving Adou, and this is no less wonderful in the Three Kingdoms than the Battle of Chibi." ”
Chen Zui said again: "There will not be a troupe every day, but the river outside the city is there every day." Why don't we go to the theater today and fish together next weekend, so that we don't know where to go next weekend. Chu Xian, what do you think? Chen Zui knew that as long as Leng Chuxian agreed, Li Chengjing would not object.
Leng Chuxian smiled: "Okay, I haven't heard of the drama in the capital either, so many people go to see it, let's also go and see what kind of wonderful method it is." ”
"Then let's hurry up and go, lest we run out of good positions."
They followed others to the Honghua Opera Troupe, and before entering, they saw a sign standing at the door, which read: "Peking Opera "Changban Slope" opens at half past one in the afternoon.
The seat fee for tea is as follows: standing listening, 50 Wen per person, the last three rows of seats, 100 Wen per person, tea will be served; Three rows of seats in the middle, a table and a piece of ocean, send tea, melons and fruits; The first three rows of seats, one person and one ocean, send tea, melons and fruits.
Duan Shaoling said: "I'll invite everyone to watch this scene, let's sit in the front position." He walked ahead first.
The play hasn't started yet, and there are a lot of people coming. They thought that it would be uncomfortable to squeeze in the back to see it, and faintly felt that it was better to go fishing, so without saying a word, they followed Duan Shaoling forward. There is a bar in front of it, and there are still some empty spaces in the first three rows.
There were two people next to him, wearing the clothes of the troupe, and they looked like they were from the troupe. Duan Shaoling asked one of them, "Are these positions all optional?" ”
"There is a wooden table on the table that has been booked in a pre-booked position, and other positions can be sitting, but one person wants a piece of the ocean, and the sign at the door says, you should have seen it when you entered the door."
One of them didn't know if it was because he saw that they were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he didn't have obvious enthusiasm for them, and he was asking them if they could afford to pay so much money.
Duan Shaoling has a tolerant temperament, and he doesn't care about such trivial matters, so he casually took out four oceans and handed them to him, "We want a table." ”
When the man saw the money, his eyes lit up, and he said politely: "A few young ladies and young ladies, you can pick a good position." ”
Li Chengjing saw that most of the wooden table cards on the table were in one or two rows, which should have been set by some local people with great status. There's no need to huddle with them. looked at it and said, "It's in the middle of the third row, just the right distance from the stage." ”
"Okay, please take a seat, this play will start soon. Man, hurry up and prepare tea, water, melons and fruits for these young ladies and gentlemen. "The guy received the money, and his attitude changed three hundred and sixty degrees. This is how the world is like this, and they can only laugh at it.
The attitude has changed, even the hands and feet are fast, and the tea and melons are faster than the snail noodles just now. The first-class seat is different, four parts of green tea, four parts of melons and fruits, melon seeds, peanuts, almonds, and cashew nuts, and the amount is quite sufficient.
"Ladies and gentlemen, use it slowly, there are guys standing next to you at any time, if you need to greet at any time, you can add it for free after drinking tea, and it will cost twenty wen to add a plate of melons and fruits." After speaking, he stepped aside.
Fifteen minutes before leaving, the hosts who had booked tables also arrived one after another. As they expected, the first few rows of people came from the stand, and they were really some big local bosses. Li Chengjing didn't know who she saw in the crowd, her eyes lit up, she pulled Leng Chuxian's sleeve, and motioned her to look over, Leng Chuxian looked at her eyes, and she was quite surprised.
Seeing them behave like this, "Do you know the owner of that table?" ”
Li Chengjing said softly: "I cut my hair with him in the morning." ”
Leng Chuxian also said: "That boss is quite enthusiastic about us and wants us to visit more often in the future." ”
At the same time, I don't know if the boss heard their voices, or if he happened to look around and saw that the two of them were also here, and there were two more handsome sons by his side. The three of them looked at each other, and they smiled and beckoned to the boss, who also smiled and nodded, as if to say that they were really destined.
"Bang dang! Bang dang! "The drums are beating louder and louder, and a good show is beginning. The first to appear were Cao Cao's generals, who gathered their men and horses outside the tent and entered the tent together to ask Cao Cao for instructions.
Anyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms knows that the situation at this time is that after Liu Bei burned Xinye, he took the people of Xinye out of Jiangling, and Cao Cao was preparing to take the generals and personally lead the army to hunt down and kill Liu Bei. Cao Cao in the play saw that the generals had arrived, so he asked everyone to receive a military order, and then the three armies set off, bound to cut Liu Bei to the roots.
After the first game was completed, after the corners were left on the field, the second scene opened, and the characters turned to Liu Bei's side. However, it was said that Liu Bei lost the war and lost Fancheng, but the people of Fancheng had long regarded Liu Bei as the master, and tens of thousands of people with their families had to follow Liu Bei across Jiangling.
Everyone advised him not to do this, otherwise the march would be slow and it would be easy to be chased by Cao's army, so it was better to feel Jiangling first, and then save the people from fire and water when he came back one day. But Liu Bei saw that the people were so attached to him, so the people were so popular, and he refused to abandon them and leave, so he wanted to take them slowly forward.
By the time they arrived at Dangyang Changbanpo, Cao Cao's army had already caught up, and the two sides would start a life-and-death battle here with a huge disparity in strength......
* It has not yet come, but every word and deed and demeanor of the characters in the play are well understood, and the background sound on the stage is also matched with different accompaniment music according to the different scenes, paving the way for the plot of the prelude as if the scene is recreated, and there is really a kind of tension and excitement that the war is about to break out.
"Good!" The hall clapped and praised, this Peking Opera is really worthy of its reputation, you can feast your eyes, and it is not in vain to spend some money, many people secretly regret that they should not save that money, and they should choose a higher position.
Li Chengjing took a sip of green tea and sighed: "The whole text of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" reflects Luo Guanzhong's respect for Liu and Cao, but I think Cao Cao is the only person who can be called a hero in the Three Kingdoms. ”
Duan Shaoling was curious: "Why does Cheng Jing have such a high opinion of Cao Cao?" You must know that Cao Cao is a traitor who usurps the Han in the eyes of the world. ”
Li Chengjing said: "Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes of all countries have not obeyed the orders of Zhou Tianzi, so aren't the heroes of the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period all traitors?" ”
Duan Shaoling didn't answer for a while, and Li Chengjing continued: "Emperor Han Xian is like the Son of Heaven in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he has no authority of the Son of Heaven at all, let alone the right to command the princes. In contrast, Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness are not appropriate regardless of the occasion.
Don't talk about the distance, let's just say that this Changban Slope, he is difficult to protect himself, and he has to flee with tens of thousands of people, Cao Cao never tortured and killed the people when he attacked the city, and I don't know how many casualties were caused by Liu Bei's displacement along the way?
He should preserve his strength and start over, but if he is unlucky this time, I am afraid that the history of the Three Kingdoms will come to an abrupt end here. And the events behind the Three Kingdoms have proved again and again that his benevolence and righteousness often backfire. ”
Duan Shaoling said with a smile: "Cheng Jing's insights are really incisive and unique. ”
"Do you prefer Liu Bei?" Li Chengjing asked.
Duan Shaoling shook his head, "In the Three Kingdoms, I admire Zhuge Liang more, not because he is resourceful and knows things like a god, what I value is his noble sentiment after he died for the sake of the Han Dynasty, even at the end of his life, it is a pity that the situation is not with him." ”
"Hahaha," Chen Zui suddenly laughed, "You see that the place where you are discussing here is even more exciting than the drama on stage." ”
Li Chengjing asked, "Chen Zui, what about you?" Which one do you admire the most in the Three Kingdoms? ”
Chen Zui thought for a while, "What I admire is not a person, but a type of person. ”
Li Chengjing was curious: "Which category?" ”
"Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or princes from all walks of life, benevolence and righteousness, traitorous males, which is not a selfish and ambitious person, only those brave generals with unparalleled loyalty and righteousness make me admire."
Li Chengjing asked again: "Chu Xian, have you ever learned about the Three Kingdoms, and what are your views on the characters in the Three Kingdoms?" ”
Leng Chuxian was about to speak, when the table in front of him was suspended and the people who had only entered the third session interrupted their conversation. If it was a coincidence that you met an acquaintance once, what about meeting an acquaintance several times in a row today?
