Section III
It is no accident that spring peony can become a mountain red.
Chun Shao's parents were loyal fans of the Beizhen opera troupe, at that time, within a radius of dozens of miles, as long as there was a performance of the Beizhen opera troupe, there would be Chun Shao's parents. They went crazy for the Beizhen opera troupe. At that time, Chun Peony was still young, so they carried Chun Peony to the north and south, and the wind, rain, thunder and lightning never delayed.
The little spring peony saw the magic of Jiao'er in the eyes of her parents, as long as they had a crush on the revered Jiao'er as soon as they appeared, they were fascinated by a pair of eyes and drunk with a heart. At the beginning, Chun Shao was still young, she didn't understand what was going on with the troupe, and she couldn't understand the lyrics, but she liked the atmosphere when she watched the play. Little Spring Peony, as long as her parents carried her to the stage, she would not cry or make trouble, and she would be immersed in the atmosphere of fascinated staring. Later, it grew up. She can also understand some of the words in the play, she began to pay more attention to the stage, the first thing that attracted her was the bright costume of the female character, she was deeply attracted by the costume of the female character, at that time, she looked forward to growing up quickly, and one day she could wear the same clothes as the female corner.
When he was eight years old, something happened in his family.
In between, the Chun Shao family has two acres and three points of land, although it is not rich, it is reasonable to live an ordinary people's life. The mistake is that the parents went crazy and became fans of the Beizhen opera troupe. At that time, within a radius of dozens of miles, no matter how big or small the family, as long as there is a red and white happy event, they have to invite the Beizhen opera troupe to come to help the fun, they can invite the Beizhen opera troupe as a very face-saving thing, so the troupe continues to perform in this area, as long as there is a performance, the parents can't do anything, crazy like running towards the place where the opera is singing, after a long time, the two acres and three points of land will be barren, the days of the Chun Peony family, there will be no ghosts.
The days when there is no food are the days of trouble, and the parents start to make trouble. Their life is manifested in quarrels, and the content of their quarrels is the same. Let's talk about eating first, and then talk about play.
The father said, "Mother Chun Shao, borrow a liter of rice."
Mother said: I won't go, I don't have the face to borrow again, I have borrowed it eight times.
Father: If you don't go, you're going to starve your family.
Mother: If you don't serve well, you deserve to starve to death.
Father: If you don't have a full stomach, why do you go to the backing mountain to watch a play at night?
Mother: If you don't watch the drama every day, how can you not eat or drink at home?
Father: I don't want to watch you, I see that the old crutches in the troupe are about to hook your eyes out.
Mother: Hello, when you look at the fat girl, your eyes are about to fly out, what can you do when you see it, let you touch it or let you smell it? It's not like starving dick.
The fat girl is a female character who sings against the old crutch, and her mother's words hit the nail on the head, hurting her father's sore spot, and her father made a "woo" sound, pounced and beat her mother, and the two seemed to be two red-eyed mice. At first, Chun Peony was always scared and cried, but later, gradually got used to it, when her father and mother bit each other, what should she do, she took out her flower clothes from the kang cabinet, and said while putting them on: Still fighting? After a while, the play will begin.
When her parents heard her words, they came to their senses. The desire to watch the play prevailed, and they gasped roughly. In the end, it was the mother who wiped her tears and went out, ran to the east and west, borrowed half a liter of rice, boiled a pot of gruel, and ate her stomach, and then the family of three ran into the night like a meteor, rushing towards their paradise on earth, the stage. As soon as the erhu sounded, the horn stood on the stage, and there was nothing.
On such days, after the first day of the new year, it is not more than fifteen. Poverty leads to change. At that time, Zhang Zuolin, a warlord in Fengtian City, had just made his fortune, he was recruiting troops everywhere, Chun Shao's father left the house in a fit of anger, and when he left, he said to Chun Shao's mother: Lao Tzu has had enough of these days, Lao Tzu wants to be a soldier, and there will be food, clothing and drama to watch in the future, you just wait at home, and wait for the old kidnapper to step down and come to you.
The mother thought that her father was talking angrily, but she didn't expect that her father didn't look back as soon as he left.
Mother's days are also over, she doesn't have the heart, she doesn't have the strength to run crazy anymore to go to the play, her mother sits on the bare kang all day and cries all day, gradually, her mother cries all her strength, she knows that she is dying. She called the eight-year-old Chun Shao, and the eight-year-old Chun Peony was already very sensible.
Mother said: Chun Shao, Mom is dying, Mom will send you to someone's home.
Chun Shao looked at her mother, stared at a pair of dark and bright eyes, and said: Send it, if you want to send you, send me to the troupe, I want to sing.
Chun Peony said seriously and seriously.
When the mother heard Chun Shao's words, she cried again with a "wow". Chun Shao's words touched on her mother's sadness, and the defeat of this family was lost in the play. After thinking about it, her mother couldn't think of a better way out for Chun Shao. Early that morning, my mother went on the road with a burning stick and a spring peony in the other hand. It is not difficult to find the Beizhen opera troupe, where there are gongs and drums, there is the troupe.
Mother saw Lao Gui, this is the lighthouse like Lao Gui in her mind, she used to only watch Lao Gui under the stage, this time, she knelt in front of Lao Gui for her daughter.
The mother said, "Take my daughter, and I will die."
The life of the troupe is not easy, looking at the face of the owner. It's hard for people outside to know the sourness of the troupe. They know that the people in the troupe are just on the stage, dressed in colorful clothes, talking, laughing and happy. Many people want to send their children to the troupe, looking forward to becoming a corner in the future, talking and laughing, and living a beautiful life. As for the troupe, one more person will have one more person to eat, so they don't accept people easily.
Without exception, Chun Shao and her mother were stubbornly rejected by Lao Guan and others. The mother had no way out, she knelt at the door of the troupe's station with a burning stick, knelt for a day, and then knelt for another night, and finally she made Chun Shao kneel too. Chun Shao looked up with a lovely little face, let the tears flow, and shouted with a small mouth: Uncle, aunt, you just accept me.
There is no way to do it.
Lao Guan and the others came out, and Chong Chunshao's mother and daughter said: You guys get up, we have to test this little girl's voice, if it doesn't work, we can't do it.
Chun Shao stood in the middle of the crowd without blushing and heartbeat, and sang half of "Mu Guiying's Expedition to the West", before the song was finished, Lao Guan and the others were surprised, and then said: Let's stay first.
The troupe accepted the spring peony, and the mother's hand holding the burning stick was released, and she used up the last bit of strength in her life, and finally she fell down with the burning stick, and never got up again after falling.
After eight years of waiting, Chun Peony finally turned herself into a mountain red.
In the past eight years, she has long been familiar with all the reserved jokes of the troupe. Every time they perform, Jiao'er plays at the front desk, and they can only wait in the back, pour tea, twist towels, and wait for Jiao'er to go backstage to take a breath after singing this play. At that time, when she was doing all this, her heart remained on the stage, and every time Jiao'er raised her hand and moved, she was holding her heart, including Jiao'er's eyes, she was familiar with it. There were many times when she looked at and thought about it, and felt that it was not the corner that was acting at this moment, but herself, and just like that, she played all the plays in her heart over and over again, and finally, she waited for this day.
The Xie family compound is an auspicious place that she can't forget.
On the day he left the Xie family's compound, Xie Bomin, the young owner, set up a few tables for a banquet to invite the Beizhen opera troupe. This is a hospitality that the troupe has never encountered before.
During the banquet, the young owner's eyes did not leave the left and right of the mountain red, and he was fascinated by the sixteen-year-old mountain red. Sixteen-year-old Shan Li Hong first set foot in this way, her shyness, not pretentious at all, first blushed, and finally drunk a pair of eyes, those eyes were watery and shy, in short, all the beauty of the girl made Shan Li Hong overflowing at this moment.
The well-informed young owner has seen everything, when he was studying in Fengtian City, he held the horns in the opera garden, so that the horns are not only delicate and dusty, compared with the red in the mountains at this moment, it is really a world of difference. Shanlihong's innocent shyness made the heart of the young owner Xie Bomin numb again and again.
Lao Guan can see all this clearly, his heart is steady, and with the red in the mountains, the troupe will not be afraid of anything in the future.
