Chapter 33: The Immortal Troupe (5)
The operas of the Xia Kingdom are not different according to the local operas, and Aunt Qin's Changsheng class sings Qing opera, which is characterized by smooth and bright singing, large melody fluctuations, and the main accompaniment instrument is the huqin. A person who writes a script does not have to be very good at singing, but he must know a variety of tones, and playing the huqin well is the most basic requirement.
In addition to learning to play the huqin, Qin Yu wrote three more burlesques, and in just ten days, the business of Yiwen Teahouse increased tenfold, and words such as "You think I don't know you if you wear a vest" and "Uncle Qin is very angry, and the consequences are very serious" began to become popular.
The proprietor of Yiwen Teahouse once again visited Aunt Qin in person, and invited Aunt Qin and Mr. Huang to Tingyuxuan, the most famous restaurant in Shengjing, to have dinner.
Aunt Qin asked Qin Yu to go with her, but Qin Yu refused: "I still have to write a new play, so I won't go." ”
Aunt Qin thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay, you're not suitable to come forward." ”
Qin Yu hurried up to write a new play, called "Xiaocui", a story about a fox who repaid his kindness.
Kou'er knew that she didn't have to be given to Mr. Wu because of Qin Yu's relationship, and she was very grateful to her, so she had to wait for her to wash Qin Yu's clothes and pour footwater, Qin Yu couldn't get rid of it, so she had to let her go. After Qin Yu began to write a new play, he found that writing a play was not a simple thing, especially the scene and singing lyrics, which were very skillful, and he often began to scratch his head while writing, and when he saw this, he walked with his hands and feet, for fear of making a noise to Qin Yu, and he didn't dare to talk to Qin Yu anymore, he often sat on the bed and looked at Qin Yu blankly, just hoping that she would drink tea or take something, and he would wait for her again.
Qin Yu lowered her head to write for a long time, her back was in pain, and when she looked up, she saw Kou'er looking at her with blank eyes, and outside the window was a beautiful scenery of sunny and green trees, and said with a smile: "Kou'er, do you want to go out for a walk." ”
Buckle was overjoyed: "Okay, good." Let's call Sister Qiongxiu to go together, she invited us to tea last time, this time we invited her to tea, I still have two pennies in my hand. ”
The three of them went out together again, and walked around the east gate, Qin Yu paid for a windmill for Gu'er, and a peach hairpin for Qiongxiu, and they found the Hou tea shed to drink tea. Because it was afternoon, the tea shed was full of people, and the three of them were hesitating whether to wait or not. The boss had sharp eyes, immediately recognized them, came out with a bench, and beckoned them to sit down with a smile: "Sit down for a while, why don't you have three bowls of tea like last time?" ”
Qin Yu took out three pennies and handed it to the boss: "Thank you boss, we brought enough money this time." ”
The boss didn't take the money, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while, you see......"
Qin Yu felt that this boss was particularly good at doing business, and said with a smile: "It's okay for us to wait." ”
The boss took the money and went to Zhang Luo, because there was no table, so he first served them a bag of fried sunflower seeds, and Guan'er and Qiongxiu ate it with relish, but Qin Yu only tasted it slightly.
The three of them sat at the intersection and looked at the lines and cars coming and going, discussing the style of this year's spring clothes and the dress of the rich and noble. Qin Yu found that there were actually a lot of women who went out, but most of them were married, and girls who were not married seemed to be rarely seen. Qin Yu looked around boredly. She found that there was a table not far from them, and there were seven or eight men sitting on them, all of them tall and introverted, wearing the green coats worn by the foot force, but they were all clean and refreshing, compared to those who sat next to them and seemed to be depressed for life, they were much more energetic.
Qin Yu couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The more you look at it, the more strange it becomes.
Those who went to the tea shed to drink tea together, which one did not get together or greet each other, or brag and ridicule together, but those few people sat silently, and occasionally someone picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and none of the things on the table moved.
Just when Qin Yu looked at them, there was a table on the table next to him to settle the bill, and the boss saw that he was about to lead them over to sit down, but a middle-aged man in a cotton robe sat down on the table quickly, threw a piece of broken silver on the table, and said, "Come to a bowl of tea, you don't need to look for money!" ”
The boss was stunned and said, "This master, look at this son......"
Qin Yu was very kind to this boss, and knew that the tea shed was doing hard business, so he hurriedly pulled the boss's sleeve: "It doesn't matter, let's wait." ”
The boss's face suddenly swelled red, and he was about to speak, Qin Yu said softly: "Uncle, we are also out to beg for a living, just like a family, don't say anything, and remember to give my sister an extra pack of fried sunflower seeds later." ”
The boss looked at Qin Yu gratefully, feeling that the purple-red birthmark on Qin Yu's face had become less dazzling.
The middle-aged man in the long shirt seemed to be worried, and he didn't pay much attention to their actions, and said hurriedly: "Boss, don't serve tea yet." ”
Qin Yu nodded at the boss understandingly, and the boss also smiled and shouted, "Xiao Jia, quickly serve tea to the guests." ”
They are also from a bitter background, so naturally there will be no dissent. The boss saw that the three girls were well-behaved and very impressed, so he turned around and took a plate of Shancha cakes for them to eat.
Qin Yu had already been attracted by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man in the long shirt looked like he was in his early thirties, of medium height, very thin, very dark skin, with a Chinese face, and a pair of eyes that were shiny and full of spirit. Qin Yu saw that when he sat down, he gently lifted his robe, in the robe was a white Hangzhou silk trousers, wearing black court boots on his feet, he asked for a bowl of tea but did not drink it, and sat there calmly.
After a while, a young man came, twenty-one or two years old, quite tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose and thin lips, wearing a very ordinary dark blue coarse cloth with narrow sleeves and a round neck placket.
The middle-aged man nodded at the young man, and the two of them talked in a low voice.
After a while, the young man got up and left, and the man at the next table also left intermittently, and the boss hurriedly arranged for them to sit at the table where the man was sitting.
Qin Yu and the others had just sat down, and the middle-aged man also got up to leave.
Qin Yu took the time to grab the boss and asked, "It turns out that the person sitting at this table is doing?" Everyone is tall and big? ”
The boss thought about it sideways and said, "They are the newly recruited dart masters of the nearby Mighty Dart Bureau, and they often come here to drink tea." ”
In fact, Qin Yu didn't know what he wanted to know, but he just felt that it was a bit strange for such two people with excellent temperament to appear here. Hearing what the boss said, I didn't know how to continue, but when it came to the boss, he said with a smile: "Somehow during this time, a lot of strangers have come, and the rent in our area has doubled." ”
Qin Yu smiled and entertained the boss: "It's the scholars who went to Beijing to catch up with the capital, right?" ”
The boss smiled: "If you want to say that it is a scholar to enter the exam, you should live in the Gongsheng Post House or the inn, rent a house in our area, there are many people, the mouth is miscellaneous, there is a good place to study......
As he was talking, someone called the boss to settle the bill, and the boss stopped the topic and went to greet the guests.
Qin Yu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any clue, the three of them sat there for a while, ate some snacks, and talked some gossip, and then everyone happily returned to the immortal class.
After dinner, Aunt Qin and Mr. Huang came back.
Mr. Huang was a strict master, and he called Qin Yu to make up for the lessons he didn't have today.
Qin Yu was sweating profusely, and he couldn't find the difference between Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu that the master said, and Mr. Huang was also sweating profusely, shaking his head.
In the end, Qin Yu proposed: "Mr. Huang, I don't think it's as good as this, I am responsible for writing the script, you are responsible for the lyrics and composing the music, you can change how to change it...... The name is written on Mr. Huang, what do you think? ”
Mr. Huang was stunned: "How can it work, it's obviously a new play written by you......"
Qin Yu said with a smile: "I'm a girl's family, what do you want to do with these false names." A good drama is not only a good script, but also a beautiful singing voice, which cannot be done without decades of hard work. ”
Mr. Huang pondered for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's inconvenient for you, so be it!" ”
Qin Yu smiled: "Then this Huqin ......"
Mr. Huang laughed: "You still have to learn." You have the skills to be around! ”
Qin Yu thought about it, too. Laugh along.
"What's the matter? So funny? Aunt Qin pushed the door in and asked with a smile, "Tell me too." ”
Mr. Huang smiled and told Qin Yu about learning art, and Aunt Qin said: "This learning art is not something that can be achieved overnight, Mr. still has to spend more time." ”
A few people gossiped for a while, Aunt Qin took her leave, Mr. Huang continued to teach Qin Yu to learn the huqin, finally Qin Yu touched the door, studied seriously over there, looked up, but saw Mr. Huang looking at the purlin on the house in a daze, Qin Yu smiled, continued to practice, but Mr. Huang suddenly said faintly on the side: "These days, it should be listed!" ”
"What?" Qin Yu didn't hear clearly.
Mr. Huang smiled and said again: "In the past few days, the results of the spring festival should come out!" ”
"Oh!" Qin Yu responded, "I didn't pay attention. ”
Mr. Huang smiled and didn't speak again, and Qin Yu continued to practice her homework.
When Qin Yu went to Dongshi again, he happened to meet the release list, and everyone was discussing, saying that this year's Huiyuan was Fang Shaochang, the nineteenth grandson of the Marquis Fang, and their family had a champion last year, and this year, eight or nine out of ten champions will fall into the Fang family...... Someone actually instigated to go to the Hou Mansion to ask for a reward: "Last year, the twelve people of the Fang family won the champion Hou Ye's family and threw money in front of the door, but unfortunately I didn't know at the time, why don't we go and ask for a ......reward this year."
The forest is so big that there are everyone, and in less than a while, there is a large group of people who are rushing to Yongxinfang, where Fang Houye's house lives, and Qin Yu also went to see the excitement with the buckle.
When I arrived at the Hou Mansion, someone really took a lot of copper and sprinkled it there, and for a while, people were crowded, people stepped on people, and it was more lively than Dongshi.
Qin Yu dragged the buckle and ran to the alley next to the Marquis of Tangbo's mansion, and the buckle asked puzzledly: "Sister Yu, what are you doing here?" ”
Qin Yu smiled: "You're not afraid of death!" ”
Thinking of the scene just now, Kou'er stuck out her tongue.
The two of them squatted at the corner gate of the Tangbo Mansion for a while, and then they saw the two women come out with the blue zi, and said as they walked: "The nineteenth young master can fight for the nine rooms, you don't see the ninth grandmother like that, you don't need to look at people......"
Another woman said, "This is really feng shui in turns. Liufang has always been shrewd, but he gave birth to a son who doesn't come to things, you see him like that, every day he is in the room and the young grandmother paints his eyebrows, treats a woman as if he is glass, he is afraid of falling in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, where is the person who does great things......"
"Didn't the seventh girl in the sixth room enter the palace?" The woman who spoke earlier said, "Whether the position of the head of the house falls on the body of the sixth room or the body of the ninth room, I still have a ......."
The two walked past Qin Yu and the others as they spoke.
Qin Yu pulled the button: "Let's go, we should also go to Yiwen Teahouse to see the performance of today's guests, always play those three plays, no matter how good it is, it will be visually fatigued!" ”
While walking with Qin Yu, Kou'er asked puzzledly, "What is visual fatigue?" Sister Yu Jing said something I didn't understand. ”
