Chapter 45: Watching the Drama (Part II)
The play "Scandium Scandium" opened the gong. sang the fourth fold "Looking for a Husband".
The mother-in-law and father-in-law passed away, and Zhao Wuniang begged all the way to Kyoto to find Cai Bojiao. When it snowed on the road, Zhao Wuniang held a broken bowl and trembled in a ruined temple, looking forward to a bright future of reunion with her husband.
Different from the tactful and introverted Yue Opera, Zhao Wuniang sings affectionately and boldly, and her singing voice is enthusiastic and unrestrained, that is, when she sings to her own predicament, although she is sad, she is not resentful...... This is the charm of different dramas!
Eleven Niang was very interested.
It is said that in addition to the Geyang dialect, Yanjing is also popular in Kunshan dialect and Yuhang dialect. I don't know what kind of situation is this Kunshan dialect and Yuhang dialect? Listening to the names of the three, they are all named after the place name, which should be related to the place of origin. Speaking of which, Kunshan and Yuhang both belong to the south of the Yangtze River, but when I was in the Luo family, I had never heard of an opera named after Yuhang...... Or, because the Luo family is in the filial piety period, they don't know......
She was thinking wildly, and a little maid ran in and said, "Mrs. Tai, the fourth lady is here." ”
The people in the room were all stunned, and the eldest lady was the first to stand up: "This kid is not in good health." What's the fun! He complained, but the man went outside.
Eleven Niang immediately got up and followed.
I saw Aunt Wen, Mother Tao and others walking over with a shoulder frame.
Mrs. Tai walked to the door of the wing: "Come in, come in." ”
The shoulders kept coming up.
Under the sun, Yuan Niang's face showed a cold yellow.
Mrs. Tai said angrily: "If there is something to make people have a word." Why did you come by yourself? ”
Several ladies behind her also agreed: "That's it, you toss like this, be careful and toss out of illness!" ”
Yuan Niang tilted her shoulders with a wistful expression, and struggled to show a smile: "Several ladies are here, I have to come to ask for peace." ”
"It's not an outsider." Mrs. Huang said quickly, "What are you doing with these false courtesies!" You just have to meditate and keep your body important. ”
On the stage, when they saw the commotion, they didn't know what was going on, so they all stopped singing.
The courtyard fell silent all at once.
"That's what it's for!" Mrs. Tai said angrily, "It's only right for you to take care of your illness." There are no outsiders in this house! Although the words are concerned, it is not like mentioning the second lady, the smile goes from the face to the depths of the eyes, and it is not like mentioning the fifth lady, with connivance and doting.
There wasn't a single fool in the room. Who can't tell the difference.
The eldest lady's face stiffened slightly, and the atmosphere was a little cold.
The fifth lady hurriedly smiled: "The weather is warm today, and the fourth sister-in-law can go out for a walk, so as not to be locked up at home every day, and she can get sick even if she is not sick."
"yes!" Yuan Niang smiled, "Danyang still knows my thoughts." "Calling the fifth lady's name is very intimate.
Everyone laughed a few words, turned sideways and gave way, let Yuan Niang's shoulder lift in, stopped next to the short couch on the left, and the daughter-in-law who raised her shoulder stepped back. Naturally, some people greeted and did not mention it.
Several grandmothers stepped forward to greet Yuan Niang, Yuan Niang reluctantly responded, everyone knew that she was not in good health, so naturally she would not be surprised. After a circle of entertainment, Yuan Niang's forehead was drenched in sweat. Aunt Wen hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it for her.
The fifth lady personally poured tea for Yuan Niang: "Fourth sister-in-law, I am singing to the fourth fold, and I am still in time." ”
Yuan Niang took the tea cup by Aunt Wen's hand - it seems that she doesn't even have the strength to serve tea.
"The fourth fold of "Looking for a Husband" ......" muttered, "As my brother and sister said, it's not too late for me to come. ”
Everyone laughed as if they were cheering.
Yuan Niang asked, "Why don't you see the other young ladies?" ”
The fifth lady smiled: "Miss Lin, Miss Qiao, Miss Tang and the fifth lady of the Luo family went to the second sister-in-law; The third miss of the Gan family, the seventh miss and the tenth miss of the Luo family went to the garden to fly a kite...... and pointed to the eleventh mother, "This one is the same as me, he likes to listen to operas!" ”
Yuan Niang smiled slightly, and did not show a strange look at Shi Niang's sudden appearance, which made Shi Niang guess that she had already known that Shi Niang was coming!
After telling a few jokes, everyone sat down, and the fifth lady called her mother to beckon the troupe to restart.
The eldest lady sat beside her daughter with a brocade pestle, and Eleven Niang had to stand behind them.
On the stage, Zhao Wuniang burst into tears: "...... Unfortunately, my hometown suffered from a drought, and there was a lack of grain and rice, and there was little food and clothing. In the first year, weaving and spinning ...... day and night"
Behind him, the Tang family's grandmother and Mrs. Qiao whispered.
The voice was high or low, but it was just enough for her to hear a few words: "...... It's not a good rest. In the past few years, the third lady has helped to run the house...... I don't want to be in the limelight in front of my relatives and old friends, and I don't want to think about the position of the third lady......"
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at Yuan Niang.
Yuan Niang was crooked on the silver-red colorful group halo pillow. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep.
I looked sideways at the eldest lady again.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his face was tense. Apparently overheard the conversation between the two.
Eleven Niang sighed secretly in her heart.
Those who become big things are not informal, and Yuan Niang is like this, which is indeed easy to give people a feeling of narrowness. However, this is not something you can say, it is better to stand here honestly and listen to the play.
With a twist of thought, she focused her attention on the stage.
The blue satin baina coat half-covered the powder, the wonderful eyes turned, and Qi Wan was sad. Zhao Wusissy said in a high-pitched tone: "The neighbors in the east and west have all borrowed everything, sold the spinning wheel and sold the clothes......"
"Eleventh sister," the person in front of her suddenly called her, his voice weak but flexible, "when you are at home, where do you live?" ”
Eleven Niang was slightly stunned, and it took a moment to come back to her senses - Yuan Niang was talking to her.
"Back to the eldest sister." She said respectfully, "I live in the Green Tower. ”
"Green Tower?" Yuan Niang has opened her eyes. She looked at the stage, her eyes calm and clear, "Where is it?" Where is Jiao Yuan? ”
"In the back garden." Shi Niang explained to her as clearly as possible, "From the back door of the Zhiyun Pavilion, there is a roll shed to the east, and there is a corridor to the north out of the roll shed, and under the corridor, there is a boxwood forest, and the green tower is built on the west side of the forest. ”
"West!" Yuan Niang recalled, "I remember that there was a warm pavilion there. How? Demolished the warm pavilion and rebuilt the green building? ”
"Not demolished!" Eleven Niang smiled, "It's not far in front of that warm pavilion." ”
Yuan Niang nodded.
After drinking a scene on the stage, the gong suddenly fell silent.
She didn't notice it, and still chatted with Eleven Niang: "When I was young, I used to read books in the warm pavilion, what is the warm pavilion doing now?" ”
Her voice was heard by a room full of people.
Eleven Niang lowered her voice: "It's snowing in winter. Mother would have people light a fire, and we sisters would do needlework there. It's bright and warm. ”
Yuan Niang laughed, turned her head to the ladies sitting on the side and said, "I'm not in good spirits, so I'll accompany you to listen to this half-fold." It's my heart. ”
The maids lightly changed the tea for everyone.
Everyone said, "That's it, go and rest!" ”
Yuan Niang said with a smile: "I heard that there will be fireworks at night, I'll see the excitement later." ”
Both the lady and the eldest lady looked hesitant. But Mrs. Tai is a mother-in-law after all, and there are some things that are difficult to say. The eldest lady was more direct and asked, "Can you hold up your bones?" ”
Yuan Niang looked at the fifth lady: "As Danyang said, I am always locked up at home, and if I am not sick, I have to get sick, not to mention that I am sick and I am more active." ”
The fifth lady smiled and nodded again and again.
What else did the eldest lady say, Yuan Niang had already smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will rest in the courtyard next door, if I can do it, I will come out to accompany everyone, if not, I will take a look in the yard...... When the time comes, don't blame me for being rude. ”
Everyone should say "yes".
Mrs. Tai called Mother Du, who had just gone to open a library for Miss Gan and Shi Niang to get kites: "You take a few people to clean up, and then stay by your side to serve." The fourth lady asked for tea and water, and there was also a messenger. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Yuan Niang politely refused, "I have Aunt Wen and Mother Tao by my side." You can't be short of people around you. As he spoke, he paused and looked at Eleven Niang. My sister will also come and talk to me. He looked at Mrs. Tai again, "If I have something, it's not too late to call Mother Du again." ”
"It's good!" The eldest lady helped Yuan Niang tuck the thin quilt on her body, "Eleven Niang has always been calm, and I am relieved to have her by your side!" ”
Mrs. Tai saw it, so she didn't want to say more, so she nodded.
The fifth lady sent Yuan Niang over, and when she got out of the side room, she was persuaded by Yuan Niang to go back: "...... The room is full of people, and I came to make trouble. I want to see this excitement again. My younger brother and sister helped me to be filial in front of my mother. ”
The gongs and drums were already playing over there.
The fifth lady looked at the eleventh mother, Aunt Wen, Mother Tao and the big and small maids and daughters-in-law who surrounded Yuan Niang, and nodded with a smile. When it was delivered to the door of the hall, it was folded back.
After entering the hall, Yuan Niang signaled to let go of her shoulders: "Let Eleven Niang help me walk." Just rest here. ”
"How can that work?" Tao's mother immediately objected.
Yuan Niang waved her hand, her face resolute.
Everyone was silent.
Aunt Wen smiled and said, "Why don't I go and help you clean up the house?" There has always been no one living there, and although it is cleaned every day, the floating dust is indispensable......"
"No, you don't." Yuan Niang smiled, "I'm just looking for a place to talk to Sister Eleven." ”
She refused again, so everyone stayed in the hall.
Eleven Niang half-carried Yuan Niang out of the hall and slowly entered the small courtyard.
The Taishi Lake is higher than the eaves, blocking the view of entering the door, facing the swaying green bamboo, and the lively sound of gongs behind it is faintly transmitted, making the environment of the small courtyard more quiet.
"I used to take medicine every day, and I was as fat as a pig." She laughed self-deprecatingly, but her voice was cold, "Now even you can help me!" ”
Yuan Niang is half a head taller than Eleven Niang.
"I used to be fat!" Eleven Niang's voice was gentle, "After stopping the medicine, I will naturally lose weight." ”
Yuan Niang stopped and glanced at Eleven Niang: "You are quite good at comforting people!" The corners of her eyebrows were raised, and there was a fierce air.
Eleven Niang smiled slightly.
But I secretly thought in my heart, when she was not sick, I am afraid she was a very sharp person!
She looks calm and calm.
Yuan Niang couldn't help but pass a trace of surprise in her eyes when she saw it, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she lowered her head and walked forward.
People who have been sick for a long time will always have a bit of a strange temper that others can't understand, no matter why Yuan Niang is surprised, as long as she is sincere, there will be no big mess in the future!
Eleven Niang smiled and set up Yuan Niang, bypassing Taihu Lake Stone and heading towards the main house.
