Chapter Ninety-Eight: Liang Zhu's Love
"I don't like it! What kind of fragrant dumpling do you think your gyokuro is? Everyone is like you, do you have to love her to die and live? Ruxu rolled her eyes.
"Who died and came back to life?" Hua Yulou said to her, holding her chin depressedly.
"Isn't that you?" If you strike while the iron is hot, "I put it in my heart and press it under the big stone, if it is not for others to observe and look carefully, I can't see that you like her." β
"Brother Yulou, if you like someone, you have to show it bravely. Whether she accepts it or not, you don't have to hide that you like her. Otherwise, sooner or later, I'll get sick. Ruxu said, patted him on the shoulder, got up and left.
Hua Yulou lowered his head and pondered.
Then Ruxu went back home, and as soon as he returned home, he heard the sound of mahjong.
Well? Ruxu strode in and saw Jin Feng, Lop Ear, Su Rong, and Yulu rubbing mahjong, and Jin Se was standing behind Yulu to give her instructions.
"Huh! Mahjong was only delivered last night, and you guys are addicted to playing it? You started playing before I and Yulu came out, it's been two hours, and it hasn't stopped? Ruxu looked at their serious looks, and felt funny.
She walked over to take a look and saw a card studded with golden chili peppers, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, she asked Yu Yu to create a pair of mahjong for her, and she also specially replaced the chicken inside with chili peppers, so that it would ......
"Chili!" Jin Feng roared.
"Kong!" Su Rong quickly picked up the cards.
If Xu is relieved, look, this has achieved the purpose of publicity, and mahjong will enter the homes of ordinary people in the future, and every time you rub mahjong, you will see a chili pepper, and you will have to touch the "chili pepper" countless times.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Ru Xu slapped Su Rong's shoulder three times in a row, "You guys aren't eating?" β
"I've lost badly! No, I'm not convinced! Su Rong said angrily.
"If you're here? Hurry up and rub the sharp air of your lops, this little girl! Won two of us! Jin Feng said with a shake of his legs.
The four people in front of the mahjong table, the most good at playing is the lop ear, this little girl looks very well-behaved on weekdays, but she is a game king, and the other three people have been losing to her, but Jin Se won a few games against her.
But Jin Se is going to the poison hall now, and she has to go to develop an antidote for Bei Xiao.
"I can't come, I have to go to dinner, you guys play, try to win the money back." As she spoke, she patted Jinse's arm and dragged her to the dining room.
After the two finished eating, Ruxu ordered to send food to the people at the mahjong table, and then went to meet the singers and musicians herself, she didn't forget the director.
There are only five days, so the script of Ru Xu Xuan is "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" that all the servants have sung and performed, and the selected chapter is "Yingtai Fighting the Tomb", that is, in the end, Zhu Yingtai was forced to marry, and then ran away from the marriage and went to the grave, and finally went away with Liang Shanbo.
Several people held a brief meeting in Xikun Yiding, and everyone talked about their understanding of the characters and discussed the plot. If you have set the role, let the actor go back and prepare.
Then she chose the repertoire with the musicians and discussed with a few people where to add music, where music should be mournful, and where it should be magnificent.
Early the next morning, all the people who played mahjong last night were killed, and when they played almost the same time, they were still sleeping in bed unconscious. Ruxu got up early in the morning and led a group of musicians to Xikun's courtyard to rehearse.
She had participated in competitions in the drama club and directed the group before, so there were no major problems. The actors were not used to this kind of performance at first, and they were about to sing when they said their lines, but they were shouted to stop again.
Slowly, everyone started to get involved. In order to make the ancients better acceptable, Ruxu still added a singing song to the plot, which was sung sadly in front of the tombstone when Yingtai pounced on the tombstone.
The actor who played Zhu Yingtai finished singing, and the next lines were choked up and couldn't go on, because in the depths of love, only tears flowed down his face, and tears flowed.
This is not allowed in opera, and in drama, the more real and close to people's real emotions, the more touching it can be.
Some disciples from the house passed by and heard it, and they all ran over to watch one by one. This scene is played for two quarters, and everyone is fully engaged and emotional. The courtyard of Yiding is full of people, but everyone is silent, because the lyrics are deeply touching and fascinating.
Before the end of the rehearsal that day, Ruxu asked the actors to add new movements according to the live scene, and added some music to the musicians to match the actors' movements.
Then it is to let the idle people in the house help make props, such as Liang Shanbo's tomb, and the gusts of wind need to be artificially made.
Five days later, Hua Yulou came, but what he didn't expect was that he actually brought Yu Yu, who was sick, with him. On this day, Xi Mingxian and Qin Huan were also invited to the house by Ruxu, and it was in the evening that everyone had dinner and came to Xikun Yiding to enjoy Ruxu's new play.
Several people moved stools and sat in the courtyard.
Along with the music, three lamps were lit in the darkness, and then a palanquin draped in red cloth circled the field a few times, and then the narrator introduced the general background of the scene. Then the sedan chair was withdrawn, and Zhu Yingtai came out from behind the sedan chair, sat under one of the lamps, and began to speak a monologue.
It is probably the meaning of missing Shanbo and hating to die together. Immediately afterwards, the lights on the field suddenly turned on, and Zhu Yingtai rushed out of the sedan chair, looked around, and shouted Liang Shanbo's name loudly. At this time, the wind was blowing, and it was the little guys in the dark who desperately fanned the big fan.
Then the lamp on the right was half extinguished, and Liang Shanbo's grave was pushed out. Zhu Yingtai came to the tomb, already in tears. She had taken off the crown of her head, and took off the wedding robe she wore outside, revealing the mourning dress she wore inside. Because of the strong wind, her hair was crooked, and her description was messy.
Immediately afterwards, the numbing music sounded, this is the heroic version of Liang Zhu that the musicians were asked to adapt.
Zhu Yingtai sang in front of the tomb of Liang Shanbo, "I have been with you for several years, I know each other and fall in love with each other, and now I am not in the building, life and death, heaven and earth, I don't see each other!" This love is as high as a mountain, and this hatred is as deep as the sea! β
After the song was finished, Zhu Yingtai shouted to the sky with a crying voice, "Shanboββ! Why don't you take me with you, and leave me alone to do anything in this world! β
The people around him cried in a low voice, and Ru Xu's tears also filled his eyes.
It's probably the difference in her shoes, she is an indifferent working machine in modern times. She has no relatives, few friends, and almost no warmth in her life. But when she crossed over, there were always some bonds that could not be let go.
She knew that in this day and age, if she was separated from her friends, she would probably not see each other for several years. Because of the long distance and treacherous landscapes, the two in the middle had very little correspondence and could only rely on letters to maintain their relationship. After many years of separation, how many friends died in other places, but I only learned about it after a few years.
Therefore, depending on other affections, perhaps modern people cannot understand it. But she's been living here for eight years, and she can always understand why they're crying.
This kind of desolation and sorrow of "goodbye to you in Huangquan" has rarely been felt, and very few people will be moved by Liang Zhu's story and shed tears for this tragic and poignant affection.
The drama ended, and the actor who played Zhu Yingtai still couldn't cry, and "Liang Shanbo" helped her over to give everyone a curtain call.
Everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they were all immersed in the short drama.
At this time, Ruxu walked up to Hua Yulou and asked, "How?" β
Hua Yulou came back to his senses, and Mu Ne paused and said, "Very good." β
"I'm so impressed...... Qin Huan wiped his tears and said, "I've never heard Brother Yulou praise others, Brother Yulou, will you still praise people?" β
Jin Feng and Xi Mingxian over there originally had tears in their eyes, but they couldn't help laughing when they heard Qin Huan's two words.
Su Rong knocked on Qin Huan's head with a fan and said, "Don't speak." β
"But you need to find someone to direct." Ruxu looked at Hua Yulou, shook off the fan and smiled.
"I'll come to the first scene myself, and I'll definitely invite you to watch it when the time comes." Hua Yulou said with a serious expression.
Ruxu noticed that when Hua Yulou said this, Yulu was looking at him deeply. Then she lowered her head and smiled at the fan, feeling that she was very happy today, and asked everyone, "Happy today, do you want to drink?" β
"I'm not going, I'm going to play mahjong." Su Rong took Qin Huan to play mahjong together, and Yulu followed Jin Feng to go with him.
"Brother Yulou, why don't you go and play mahjong too?" Ruxu said with a smile, "Brother Yu, Brother Xi and I went to drink together." β
Hua Yulou knew that Ruxu wanted him and Yulu to spend more time together. So he gave her a grateful smile and nodded and followed Gyokuro.
In the first round, the three of them played with lop ears, Jin Feng instructed him on Qin Huan's side, Hua Yulou was a little helpless for the first time, and lost several games in a row.
"You're a game black hole, Brother Yulou!" Su Rong said with a smile, and then explained the meaning of the game's black hole.
"This ......" Hua Yulou looked at the mahjong in his hand in distress.
"It's stupid!" Yulu watched him play several rounds and felt that he was too stupid, so she scolded in a low voice, walked over and said, "I'll teach you." β
Hua Yulou's left palm was sweating, he pretended not to understand, and lost several games in a row, just to get Yulu to say a few words to him.
Yulu sat beside him, helping him adjust the position of the cards from time to time, and it was inevitable to bump into him when his hand was far away. Hua Yulou couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and looked at her deeply.
Everyone knows the relationship between the two of them, and they are reluctant to break such a good atmosphere, so they retracted their gaze and played mahjong in their hands seriously.
"Look at what, look!" Gyokuro said coldly.
"You're good-looking." Hua Yulou replied, and when he said this, his own face turned red.
