Chapter 154: A Historic Performance

My mother, aunt and uncle and Xiao Wu rode in a carriage, and I, my uncle and sister-in-law rode on horses, followed by a bodyguard headed by Li Yuanfang, although only ten family soldiers were brought, plus my uncle's family soldiers, eighteen horses and a carriage galloped in the direction of Beishi.

"Is this true or false? So Li Yuan really wants to act on stage? "My uncle, who got the news from me, is still a little incredulous. I can't figure out how the dignified Tang Guogong actually went to the hotel to perform a stage play, although my uncle didn't quite understand what a stage play was, but after I explained, I roughly understood something.

"Not only Uncle Li, but also my aunt will also come to the stage, by the way, uncle, my brother and I will also come to the stage." The girl said very invitingly.

"Hehe, the old man really can't imagine it, so let's go with you today, and the old man will just watch the fun." The old man shook his head and smiled. It seems that I don't have much confidence in our acting skills and stage plays.

"Don't worry, uncle, this "Zhao's Orphan" will definitely be an instant hit, not only Luoyang City, I believe it won't be long before the entire Great Sui Dynasty will know what a stage play is." Ben Gongzi inhaled and sniffed out with confidence, with a look of confidence and pride.

Came to the Quanjude Hotel, I really saw a lot of acquaintances, are some of the noble children who often come to the hotel to eat and drink, and now, these have become the VIP customers of the hotel, and the noble children naturally recognize the hotel CEO, and they frequently greet them.

Many people simply came over, wanting to ask what kind of drama was going on tonight, and even one of the most shameless guys pulled me aside, asking me if I had seven or eight girls on the stage, the kind that wore very little, and then danced some very seductive dance steps.

"I said Brother Xian, don't you look at how many people are here, many of them are still ladies, do you really want to watch a group of girls twist their butts half-concealed on top in such a large public?" Taking a deep breath, he finally maintained the reserve of the CEO of a five-star hotel, but Ben Gongzi's words were completely squeezed out between his teeth.

"Uh, too, ah, hahaha, the little brother just asked, okay, the brother is at his own convenience, the little brother has to call a few friends to come over and cheer, by the way, the auxiliary brother, you must act a little more exciting." This thick-skinned dude slapped his ass and drilled into the crowd.

Damn, you have the ability, go and tell Mrs. Li Dou or Li Yaoguang in today's starring role in person, these two moody, fierce queens with deep knives and arrows don't tear you into spicy chicken shreds, what's the problem!

Finally got rid of these guys and sent the family to the front row of the ground floor. Well, everyone here is sitting facing the stage, and in front of each row of positions, there is a long table of desks, and if you want something, you can do it at your own convenience, just on the table in front of you.

The first row is closer to the stage, so you can enjoy the wonderful performances of the actors more clearly. Naturally, it is to be left to my family, as well as the family members of those shareholders or deacons and friends. And there are really a lot of girls here today, I asked my mother and uncle and the fifth child to stay here, and quickly pulled my sister into the backstage.

Unexpectedly, all the actors have already arrived, and they are still muttering their own lines, even Liu Hongji and Xue Wanche, the two brothers who are usually the most thick-skinned and solid-faced, are also serious about their lines at this moment.

Fortunately, no one is particularly nervous, just don't have stage fright, especially Liu and Xue, with their face thicker than the city wall, let alone standing on the platform in costumes, even if they are bare-assed, the two of them are definitely not in vain.

"Oh, Brother Xian, why did you come here at this time?" Yang Shidao, who was about to take advantage of the situation on the stage anyway, was the first to notice me and hurriedly greeted me.

"I said brother, it's still early, you guys are early." After I said hello to him, I said hello to the Li couple on the other side, and Li Yuan and Dou, who had already changed their clothes, greeted me with a smile, and continued to make the most important preparations in a nervous and orderly manner.

"Okay girl, you also change your clothes first. and the three ladies took advantage of this kung fu to play again. Li Yuanfang, Liu Yitian, the two of you bring people over, prepare the butter candles and light shields placed on the side of the prop house, take them out, and then light them when you see the gesture I gave you at the curtain. Remember, try to make the stage as bright as possible. After saying hello to everyone, Ben Gongzi quickly fulfilled his responsibilities as the chief director.

Not only the lights, but also the curtains, have also hung down from the second floor and hung on the stage, and at the front of the stage, there is a curtain blocking everyone's line, and with the transformation of the scene, the scenery of each plot will slowly reveal its true face, making people feel as if they have traveled to different scenes with these characters, to feel real.

The time is getting closer and closer, and the first floor of the theater is already crowded, many people are three or five people crowded in front of a desk, all of them are there whispering the introduction of the show and discussing there.

But today, when they entered the hotel, all the guests with VIP cards received one or several program performance lists, and the performance was naturally a drama: Zhao's orphans.

Most of the actors on the actor directory are shareholders of this hotel, and their fox friends are naturally very enthusiastic to come over to cheer.

The time finally arrived, with the gesture I gave from behind the curtain. The eight family soldiers who had already prepared for the ceremony instantly opened the lampshade of the butter candle that had been quietly lit to face the stage, and the stage in the theater, which had been a little dim, covered an area of nearly 100 square meters, suddenly lit up in the light noise of everyone.

Behind the thin curtain, several butter candles were also lit, and with the gestures of the son, the musician gently plucked the strings, and a soft and slightly sad piece of music began to play. And the noise in the hall couldn't help but be quiet.

Ben Gongzi stood behind the curtain and instructed dozens of soldiers in helmets and armor to start fighting silently under the reflection of the lights.

And the people sitting under the stage can see the figures of those who are fighting reflected on the curtain. Behind the curtain, I picked up a large brass horn and held the recitation in the other hand.

"This is a story that happened in the Spring and Autumn Period, about the Jin nobleman Zhao who was framed by the traitor Tu'an, and was tragically destroyed, and the surviving Zhao orphans, under the protection of a group of loyal and brave righteous people, finally grew up and avenged the family......" Through the amplification of the copper horn, the clear and powerful voice of this son entered the ears of every audience in the theater.

All of them were fascinated by this special way of interpretation. When those characters who appeared with a dignified ancient style, with their vivid and bright language and expressions, accompanied by the faint and almost inaudible music, the opening preface of the story of the Zhao orphan was narrated.

The ups and downs of the plot of the Zhao orphans, the tragic death of the Zhao patriarch Zhao Dun, the unwillingness of the eldest son Zhao Shuo, the unwillingness of Zhao Shuo's wife, Zhuang Ji, and the calmness of Gongsun Pestle, led to righteousness, pushing the plot of the whole play to the climax one after another.

In particular, Zhuang Ji's death was particularly shocking, when facing Tu Anjia, after all the guards around him had been killed, Zhuang Ji, who was powerless, held a sword and complained to Tu Anjia, and killed himself. Then the death of Cheng Ying's wife and parent, and the tragic slaughter scene pushed everyone's emotions to the climax.
