Chapter 14 Mid-Autumn Festival
Facing the 'Xuan Sheng' at this moment, Professor Lin and Lao Gu were a little dumbfounded.
It took a long time for Lao Gu to ask, "Is it really Tong Xiaoqiu?" ”
'Xuan Sheng' puffed up and said, "Nong, this is asking knowingly!" ”
I pinched my eyebrows vigorously and asked Lao Gu, "Who is Tong Xiaoqiu?" ”
"Tong Xiaoqiu is a famous actor in Suzhou, Lin Fu said that the house is hers." Lao Gu let out a 'grunt' sound in his throat, "As far as I know, Tong Xiaoqiu was born during the Guangxu period. ”
"During the Guangxu period?" Lin Tong's eyes widened.
Professor Lin waved his hand vigorously again and again, "Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Xu Qiu, although I believe it, don't tell me that the current Xuan Sheng is a female ghost from more than a hundred years ago! ”
"What the hell is it? Nong is a red guy, it's a ghost! "'Xuan Sheng' said angrily.
"Enough! Even if you are not a human being, you should accumulate some virtue! Professor Lin was furious.
Chilao is a dialect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and although it is not as insulting as 'Qi San', it is not a good thing to say.
Xuan Sheng himself was only about forty years old, and the woman's voice sounded even younger, Professor Lin and Lao Gu were both too old, and they were naturally angry when he shouted 'red guy' one by one.
I thought about it secretly and motioned to Professor Lin and the others not to say anything more.
Thinking of the singing I heard when I first entered the door, I asked 'Xuan Sheng', "Did you sing 'Qin Huaijing' before?" ”
"Yes."
I nodded, "It's so nice to sing, by the way, will you sing "Laughing Karma"?" ”
'Xuan Sheng' was stunned, looked up at me and asked, "How can I not hear this?" ”
Professor Lin's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lao Guheng.
I naturally know what he wants to say, although "Laughing Karma" is a famous paragraph, it is a modern repertoire, if Tong Xiaoqiu knows, then she is definitely not a female ghost of the Qing Dynasty.
I deliberately tried this way, but it was really helpless. If it was in front of others, I could have let go of my hands and feet and go straight in. In front of the old teacher, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
And, my gut tells me that it really needs to be something clear first, otherwise this thing will be difficult to solve.
I asked 'Xuan Sheng': "I said that I saw the Nanzhu stolen by Lin Fu with my own eyes, where was it at that time?" ”
"I was in the alley of the house!" "As soon as I heard someone coming in, I immediately hid in the bed!" ”
"Inside the bed?"
'Xuan Sheng' nodded, his face suddenly reddened.
Lao Gu sighed, "No wonder it is said that there are more than four beds." ”
Lin Tong asked me in a low voice: "Those who are blocked by 'ghost blinding', there are still two entrances?" ”
I looked at 'Xuan Sheng's face, and also whispered: "The four-step bed is already very luxurious, if there is a fifth, it should be after the master's couch, and there is one more." It's usually a toilet, or a secret like a treasure cabinet. ”
Lin Tong pursed her mouth, "Judging by her reaction, the fifth entrance should be the toilet, otherwise she wouldn't blush." ”
I didn't respond to her, but I felt that it was getting more and more bizarre.
Seeing that Lao Gu and Professor Lin were speechless for a while, I suddenly thought of a person, hurriedly took out my mobile phone, and made a gesture to everyone to wait.
The phone was dialed, and Ji Yayun's voice came from the receiver: "Hey, Xu Xu." ”
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at Suzhou High-speed Railway Station now, I just got on the train, and I'm about to go back, but I haven't left yet."
I asked, "Can you tell me Sang Lan's dad's mobile phone number?" ”
Ji Yayun said: "Brother-in-law and Sister Ru are with me, do you have something to do with them?" ”
"Trouble, let Sang Lan and his dad answer the phone."
"Wait."
Soon, Sang Lan's father's deep baritone voice sounded on the phone: "Hey, Xu Xuan, is there something wrong with me?" ”
I glanced at 'Xuan Sheng' and Professor Lin and the others, walked to the door, and whispered into the phone:
"Uncle Sang, do you know that there was once a famous actor in Suzhou, called Tong Xiaoqiu?"
The reason why I thought of Sang Lan's father was because in my previous limited contact, I had learned that this native of Suzhou had a fanatical hobby of commenting on bullets.
"Tong Xiaoqiu?" Sang Lan's father was a little surprised, "I know this person, she is indeed a famous critic, but she is not a modern person." How did it come to you to ask about her? ”
I held the microphone and told him about the situation I was experiencing.
After listening, it took half a minute before he asked, "You mean, you met Boss Tong Xiaoqiutong?" ”
"Now I'm not sure if it's her who I'm seeing, I just want to ask you, as far as you know, what is unique about her, so that people can determine her identity at once."
Sang Lan's father pondered for a moment and said, "If you can, let her sing a piece of "Enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival" in "The Legend of the White Snake" to me!" ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't hang up yet." ”
Turning back to the house, he said to 'Xuan Sheng', "I heard what we said before, so we should know that there was some misunderstanding between us. Now, I'm going to identify the identity first,...... Can you sing a piece of "Enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival" to listen to it? ”
"Nong is really strange, but he suspects me!"
'Xuan Sheng' said dissatisfiedly, and then suddenly raised his voice and said: "Go to the mountain pond to Bai Xiang (play), Xu Xian is happy!" ”
His voice startled everyone present.
Because, his pronunciation is actually a man's voice!
"Shhh...... Turn on hands-free, I'll listen to it. Sang Lan's father said urgently on the other end of the phone.
For the next period of time, everyone on both ends of the phone can be said to be wide open-minded......
The story of the White Snake is familiar to most people, and the passage of "Enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival" is about the loving scene of Xu Xian and the White Lady in the Mid-Autumn Festival parade in Suzhou Shantang.
This lyric is mainly a duet between Xu Xian and the White Lady. Although I learned some Suzhou dialects through the Internet, I still couldn't understand most of the lyrics and dialogues.
However, before the singing was finished, I was already dumbfounded.
The lyrics were all performed by 'Xuan Sheng' alone, without accompaniment, however, during this period, he actually made three different voices, two men and one woman.
Xu Xian's male voice is soft and soft, and the female voice of the White Lady is charming, and the key is interspersed with another man's recitation from time to time, which is equivalent to the voiceover in most operas and dramas, that is, the commentary that connects the plot......
At the end of the song, I was still stunned on the spot, and Sang Lan's father's excited voice came from the earpiece:
"That's her! She is Tong Xiaoqiu! Where is she now? We'll be there in the evening, can you let me meet Boss Tong? ”
