Chapter 258: A Good Show

Wen Jin saw that the county lord of Yujie was still very angry, so he comforted her and said, "Niangniang saw it, right?" Some people don't want to hear my good, let's act, but with my heart, I mind them too much, and I can't live my life. ”

The county lord of Yujie took the handkerchief and dipped the corner of his eyes, and smiled helplessly: "You have a big heart." ”

As he was talking, there was a sound of gongs and drums on the stage. This is called the opening gong, which urges the actors to hurry up and get in place, and the audience is ready to take their seats.

Sure enough, the women who were playing and chatting on the side hurriedly came over. Entertainment in this era is particularly poor, especially opera is not so popular, the family opera troupe, generally sing a one-act play, or have a little song, like today's four-act drama, it is still rare, no matter whether the impression of Wen Jin is good or bad, no one wants to get along with themselves, everyone flocked over, and the chairs under the small drama stage were immediately full.

After the gong sounded twice, a clown came out, with a few children, somersaulting and whipping, which was afraid that the audience would be impatient and waiting, and came out to comfort everyone.

Wen Jin took a plate of preserved peaches on the table and gave it to Lord Yujie: "Niangniang try it, this is made by my shop." ”

Lord Yujie raised his eyebrows in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

"The color of other people's dried peaches is black, but only my family's color is so bright."

Lord Yujie's thoughts were transferred, and he chatted with Wen Jin about eating, and his face was much better.

The gongs and drums sounded, the actors came on the stage, and the first act began, Zhou Danniang was still a six-year-old girl at the time, her mother died, her father remarried, and a year later, her father also died, and her stepmother sold her to the kiln.

Lord Yujie was completely attracted by this sad and indignant plot and watched the play with full attention. Wen Jin quietly observed the expressions of the audience, and saw that their faces were sometimes compassionate, sometimes indignant, and those with low tears had begun to wipe their eyes frequently. The exchange of words and small talk all stopped, and Wen Jin couldn't help but smile when he saw that the effect was very good.

In the second act, Zhou Danniang practiced hard in the kiln, she was naïve and naïve, thinking that she could rely on her skills, gain people's respect, and make money for the bustard, so she could let herself go.

"This stupid man, how can there be such a kind old bustard." The lord of Yujie is upset for Zhou Danniang.

Like the county lord of Yujie, the voice of discussion is louder at the moment, fortunately, Wen Jin has been prepared, and on the side of the stage, the subtitles of the line words are typed, so that people will not be confused about the plot.

At this moment, the plot suddenly took a sharp turn, Zhou Danniang became a famous prostitute and made enough money for the bustard, but she was still plotted, and in the case of being drugged, she was defiled, she was in pain, and she almost wanted to die.

Lord Yujie couldn't help it anymore, and tears flowed: "This poor woman, her father and mother know how sad she should be under the spring." ”

"Yes, it's not that she has a bad background, it's not that she doesn't want to work hard, when she meets such a ruthless stepmother and such a vicious old bustard, she just wants to be alone, and it's impossible."

In the third act, Zhou Chengkun came out, he didn't care about Zhou Danniang's background, he only admired her talent, moved her character, went bankrupt, and ransomed Zhou Danniang, but Zhou's parents were angry and drove them out of the house. As a last resort, she had the courage to apply for a job with Wen Jin, and she was given the opportunity to give it a try.

In the fourth act, Zhou Danniang worked day and night to design jewelry patterns, painting and doing, Ao was red-eyed, and finally made a set of products, she happily went to the owner's place, and it was a great success.

At this time, under the stage, the audience's expression was already more joy than sadness, laughter more than indignation, and the next plot catered to the audience's mentality, Zhou Danniang not only made money, but also won the respect of her husband, the understanding of her in-laws, and her children, and lived a very happy life.

At the end of the opera, the audience couldn't help but applaud, and the county lord of Yujie suddenly had an idea and asked Wen Jin: "This Zhou Danniang, but the Zhou Danniang who is good friends with you?" ”

A lot of eyes swept over suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears.

"Yes, Niangniang, I am the owner, you know that I am a soft-hearted person, Zhou Danniang found me at the time, I have no reason to refuse her, such a hard-working person, I will pull her, this is the world has one more elegant female shopkeeper, I push her, maybe, this world will have a pair of lovers who died unjustly."

"Child, you did the right thing, I figured it out, do things by yourself but with a conscience, whoever wants to say something, let her say it."

"Niangniang, Jin'er knows that you are the best."

Although there are still some people who cast dissatisfied eyes on Wen Jin, most people are still moved by the plot, and their impression of Wen Jin has changed greatly.

Wen Jin didn't expect that the drama "Dan Niang", because the tune is melodious, the words are clear and easy to understand, the plot is ups and downs, and it has caused a boom in the capital, and it's not good to make money, so I have to suppress myself.

From this play, Zhou Chengkun summed up a few experiences, if a drama wants to become popular, there must be several conditions, one is to have singing skills, but also to bring some martial arts, talented and beautiful, first bitter and then sweet, bitter to the extreme, make people cry, the flowers behind are good and the moon is full, it will seem very difficult, cherished, and make the audience excited.

He followed this pattern and began to write a new drama, Danniang couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw her husband suddenly mature and sophisticated, and the temporarily rented yard was filled with laughter every day.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Prince Ren went to the Taichang Princess's Mansion to walk around, and was pulled by the boss of his generation, the Taichang Princess, to watch the play together, and then he knew what the troupe in his son's courtyard had made up, to be honest, he was also very moved by Zhou Danniang's single-mindedness and self-improvement. The eldest princess asked Prince Ren: "Have you watched this play several times?" Today, the old sister pulled you to watch it again, aren't you annoyed? Prince Ren didn't dare to say that he hadn't seen it before, so he just shook his head and said, "It's not annoying, how can I be annoying?" How good this drama is. ”
