Chapter 311: Changting Teaches Sun
It doesn't matter what Lu Man does, there are many children who introduced their wives to their lone fathers or mothers in their previous lives. After she worked, she asked someone to introduce her wife to her mother, but unfortunately her mother had no feeling for men and was unwilling. It would have been nice if she had really found her other half at that time, and her mother would not have been so lonely and sad after her death.
But He Cheng couldn't do it, his face was red with shame, he was so contradictory that even beads of sweat were soaked on the tip of his nose. I feel that I am not filial piety by doing this, but I also feel that only by doing this is true filial piety.
Lu Man saw the twisted look and teased, "Look at your shame, it's like telling you about your daughter-in-law." Suddenly thinking of what Grandma Xie said yesterday, she said, "Sister Yang told me that there is a good girl in the Xie family. The girl is the granddaughter of the cousin of the old marquis Xie, she is fourteen years old this year, she has a gentle temperament, and she looks good, and her father is a five-rank military attaché......"
He Cheng hurriedly interrupted Lu Man's words and said, "Sister, my younger brother is still young, learn the skills first, and then talk about the rest." ”
Then, he got up and beckoned Bai Zhi in the yard to take the leg of mutton home.
As the news of the defeat of the enemy army by the Xie family army spread to the streets and alleys, the heroic deeds of Generalissimo Xie and General Jiang Xiao also spread among the people. The major opera troupes rushed to rehearse several of their big plays, and the storyteller also made up a joke about their heroic deeds.
The two troupes of the Changting Princess's Mansion also wrote a play overnight, and the protagonist is, of course, General Jiang Xiao, who is brave and invincible, overwhelmed, loved by everyone, and blooming in flowers.
After Jiang Zhankun heard the news, he went to the drama troupe and asked the troupe to add a play of "the eldest princess teaches her grandson". It is also specifically stated that the eldest princess should be portrayed as a righteous old lady.
The class owner was very interested, this is a good opportunity to pat on the back, he smiled brightly and thanked Jiang Zhankun, thank the fourth master for providing a good material for the troupe. He hurriedly gathered a few "writing heads" and discussed the trick to write out.
On the night of September 19, several masters of Donghui Temple, He's mother and son, were invited to Heming Hall for dinner, and they were accompanied by a play praising the battle hero Jiang Zhanwei and the eldest princess, the grandmother of Dayi. The whole play has not yet been discharged, but one of the excerpts has been released first, and the name of this scene is "The Teaching Sun of the Long Pavilion".
The lights in the Furong Hall are brilliant, and all the twelve glass palace lamps are lit. The masters did not eat at two tables, men and women, but two people and sat in three sides in the room. In front of them sat the eldest princess and the old horse, and the actors sang in the middle.
He also graced a few subordinate officials and a few decent subordinates, who also had a small brocade at the end and could sit and watch the play.
The content of the play is that when the wolf smoke rises at the border pass, and the people are wantonly bullied by the Tartars, the princess of Changting is anxious and can't sleep at night. After thinking about it, she encouraged her grandson to join the army, and also taught her grandson to "be loyal to the emperor and serve the country in the army", and asked Generalissimo Xie to put his grandson in the most difficult place. The grandson listened to her teachings, gave up a comfortable life, and joined the army to go to the border to kill the enemy......
There are only three people in this excerpt, that is, the famous Lao Dan Saiyue Xian who plays the princess of Changting, the famous Wusheng Jade Qilin who plays General Jiang Xiao, and the famous Lao Sheng Xinyutang who plays Generalissimo Xie. Although they were in a hurry, these three people had solid basic skills and performed really well. Plus the lines are well written, extremely sensational, and moving.
In particular, Sai Yuexian, who plays the eldest princess, sings high-pitched and excited, and vividly portrays the image of a heroic grandmother who understands the righteousness of the country, teaches her grandson in a good way, encourages her grandson to follow Rong, and teaches virtue to the fullest.
There are also those lines, which make people's blood boil after listening:
Zhan Weisun stood in front of the hall and listened to his grandmother say that a good man should be famous in the world. I want my grandmother to teach her grandchildren to grow up for more than ten years, but I hope that I will have great ambitions to help my family and help ......"
But Lu Man can't get into the play. Not only did she not like to listen to the play, but she also didn't understand it, but also because she thought of the fact that the eldest princess had begged Xie Dashuai again and again to transfer Jiang Zhanwei to the Chinese military camp......
Seeing that the eldest princess and other women were so moved that they wiped their tears with handkerchiefs from time to time, and several gentlemen applauded from time to time, Lu Man couldn't help but feel a little funny. This is the qualitative sublimation from life to art, and I shouldn't take myself too seriously.
After the play was sung, the eldest princess was overjoyed and praised her greatly, saying that the play was well written and the play was well acted. He also rewarded the opera troupe with one hundred taels of silver, the Saiyue Immortal with fifty taels of silver, the other two plays with twenty taels of silver each, and the "writing head" of the play with twenty taels of silver each. said that he would take them to Xie's house to sing tomorrow, and then let the opera troupe go to the palace to sing for the emperor in the future.
also specially took a piece of clothing that she had never worn and asked Sai Yuexian to wear and sing, and asked Lu Man to also take a new dress that Jiang Zhanwei had never worn for Jade Qilin to wear, so that it was real to look at.
The old lady had already heard that it was Jiang Zhankun who asked her to add this scene, so she called Jiang Zhankun to come to her again, took his hand and said with a smile, "You monkey, this palace has long seen that you are smart and can be a man." He also rewarded him with a set of Hetian Qingyu carved pen washes and pen holders from the previous dynasty.
Lu Man didn't have much contact with Jiang Zhankun before, but now he knows that he is actually a master of sycophancy, as sleek and shrewd as the third master and the third lady, and is likable.
The other masters all laughed and held the eldest princess, the three masters each rewarded the troupe and the drama with twenty taels of silver, and the others each rewarded five taels, and even Grandma Jiang Zhen, who was less than a year old, rewarded her with five taels. Since Jiang Zhanju and his grandmother were taught by Jiang Hou Ye and the eldest princess, they have been more people, and they love Jiang Zhen on the surface.
The old horse was also happy, and pointed to Saiyue Immortal and said, "You sing well, you have a little bit of the momentum of the long pavilion, and you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." ”
Happy to be blessed by the moon fairy.
He said to Xin Yutang again, "You can sing well, like a boy from the Xie family, and you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." ”
Xinyutang also hurried to be blessed.
In the end, he pointed to the jade unicorn and said, "You little white face, you can only embroider your legs with a few tricks, so you run here to embarrass and show your eyes, and you are as disgusting as Wei Wei, and you are worthless." ”
The jade unicorn is the top martial artist in the opera troupe, and the plays he plays are not only loved by the people of the eldest princess's mansion, but also won countless praises when he goes out to perform, and even the emperor and queen have rewarded him with silver. Although he knew that it was because the old horse didn't like the third master that he was implicated, the kung fu he had been practicing since he was five years old was said to be "flower fist embroidered legs", "humming chirping", "embarrassing", "worthless", he was still sad, and he was so angry that he shed tears.
The eldest princess felt that the jade unicorn was quite wronged, but she was unwilling to save face for a play. Other descendants think so, and it's not easy to squeak.
Lu Man was reluctant, everyone knew that it was Jiang Zhanwei who had affected the Jade Qilin, and others didn't speak, but she couldn't help but speak.
