Chapter 26: Dialogue with Kun Ling and Liu Xikui

Eight o'clock the next night.

Su Qingyue turned on the live broadcast on time.

[Ding, the system is ready, and the virtual studio is set up.] 】

[Ding, please select the character and time node that needs to be talked to!] 】

[Ding, the end of the selection, please get ready!] 】

"When...... Dangdang ......"

Accompanied by a burst of opera drums, the black curtain slowly pulls out from the middle, like the opening of an opera.

Su Qingyue walked in slowly on the red carpet, and the studio was covered with all kinds of faces and costumes, as well as a huge old-fashioned gramophone.

"Dialogue with women heroes and promote traditional culture! Hello audience, I'm the host Su Qingyue! ”

"This show is sponsored by Prince Gong's Mansion Grand Theater, and I am especially grateful to the Huaxia Art Research Institute for providing historical materials for this program! Welcome to Dialogue Past and Present! ”

……

"Dididi!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"See the gramophone? This is obviously a product of the Republic of China period! ”

"It turns out that this time the show is to take us back to the Republic of China!"

……

"Chinese opera culture has a long history, but for a long time, women were not allowed to perform on stage."

"During the Republic of China, the feudal system was overthrown, the mind was emancipated, and a large number of female opera actors appeared."

"Among these female opera actors, there is such a woman, she is not only as famous as Master Mei Lanfang, but also not afraid of the powerful and not greedy for wealth and nobility."

"After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, she performed everywhere to raise funds for the Anti-Japanese War!"

"After the War of Resistance against Flowers and Aid to High School began, she went to the battlefield at the age of 60 to perform for the volunteer soldiers!"

"She devoted herself to the cause of Chinese opera education and was the first modern opera actress in China!"

"She is evaluated as the pearl of the Chinese opera industry!"

"She's ...... Kun Ling King Liu Xikui! ”

……

"What! It's Liu Xikui! I guessed wrong! ”

"Hey, I guessed it! I guessed it! ”

"Bring it to you!"

"Liu Xikui! Liu Xikui! ”

……

Su Qingyue walked over to the giant gramophone and put an old record on it.

The melodious opera began to play, and the picture of the studio began to circulate, and finally came to the door of a theater building.

Su Qingyue hid her figure and began to speak in a narrator manner.

"It is now the 3rd year of the Republic of China, and Liu Xikui is performing a new fashion drama "New Camellia" from Bangzi, Hebei Province in this theater building."

"This play tells the story of an intellectual officer who defeats the invasion of foreign powers with the help of a lady of the Camellias, and it is a drama that promotes patriotic salvation!"

As the camera moved, the audience seemed to follow Su Qingyue's eyes and looked at the water sign outside the theater.

……

"Wow, this prop is too realistic, it feels like it's really coming to the Republic of China period."

"Wow! How rich is this program group, this degree of restoration is too detailed! ”

"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the host go to Liu Xikui for a conversation first? How to change the way this time. ”

"But it's good, like watching a movie!"

……

Su Qingyue walked into the theater, and the camera quickly zoomed in.

Liu Xikui on the stage was wearing a white European-style pleated skirt and a white wide-brimmed hat with flower arrangement, and his singing voice was graceful, and the audience listened to it fascinated.

At that moment, the camera pans to a group of uniformed students standing in the corner.

……

"These uniforms are so pretty......"

"Look, that person doesn't look like Premier Zhou!"

"Wow! It's really like Premier Zhou when he was young! So handsome! ”

……

"That's right! This young man is Premier Zhou! At this time, he was just 16 years old and was studying at Nankai Middle School. ”

After that, Su Qingyue waved her hand again, and the scene changed quickly, this was a wedding room, and Liu Xikui was wearing a red wedding dress and covering her head at this time.

……

"In the early days of the Republic of China, warlords fought each other, and the Beiyang government changed several presidents in a row."

"Without exception, these presidents like to invite opera masters to sing for them, and because of Liu Xikui's outstanding appearance, he is often harassed by these warlords."

"Even because of these things, she had to ruthlessly refuse Mr. Mei Lanfang's confession."

"Because she knows that once these warlords know that she and Mr. Mei Lanfang are together, they will definitely hurt him."

In a hurry, Liu Xikui finally chose to get married on a blind date, but this marriage changed Liu Xikui's life.

……

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a dark, short old man walked in, picked up the rod scale on the table and unveiled the red hijab.

"Ahhh Who are you? ”

"I'm Cui Chengchi!"

"You lie, Cui Chengchi is obviously a young man?"

"I confess, I lied to you, it was actually my guards who went on a blind date with you at the time...... But don't worry, I'll be good to you. ”

Liu Xikui burst into tears, sighed, and said, "Alas, this may be my life!" ”

……

"It's horrible! Isn't this just a cheating marriage? ”

"Alas, it's really sad that such a woman is in the Republic of China period!"

"This is not the Republic of China I imagined! This show is deceiving! Shouldn't warlords all be big handsome guys? How could it be an old man! ”

"Host, can you help her and help her change history!"

……

Su Qingyue looked at the barrage and did not speak, but waved her hand again, and the scene changed quickly.

I saw a large group of Japanese soldiers appear on the street, led by an officer, walked into an alley, knocked on a door, and a middle-aged woman opened the door.

The Japanese officer said: "Boss Liu, you are an excellent Peking Opera master in Huaxia, and our Great Japanese State wants to invite you to perform in the Japanese Kingdom!" ”

Liu Xikui said: "No need, I have already withdrawn from the pear orchard. ”

"Boss Liu, we are willing to pay a lot of money to invite, I promise, as long as you are willing to go to the Wa Kingdom to perform, your life will definitely be better than now."

"No need, you better go back."

"There is an old saying in Huaxia, called the person who knows the times is Junjie, Boss Liu, I will come again tomorrow."

The Japanese officer waved his hand and turned away with his men.

Liu Xikui closed the door with a "snap", hurriedly packed the gold and silver in the house into the package, painted himself a pockmarked makeup in front of the bronze mirror, and then took advantage of the darkness to walk out of the city.

The streets were full of Japanese soldiers, who wantonly beat and insulted the Chinese people, and Liu Xikui frowned.

"Stop! What your work is! ”

A Japanese soldier at the gate of the city stopped Liu Xikui.

Liu Xikui hurriedly coughed a few times and said, "Lord Wujun, I am a good citizen...... cough cough cough ...... I had leprosy and wanted to go back to the countryside and find a miracle doctor...... Ahem......"

The Japanese soldier looked at the pockmarks on Liu Xikui's face, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and scolded angrily: "Baga Yalu! Leprosy, hurry up and go! ”

Liu Xikui hurriedly walked out of the city gate and walked quickly into the distance.
