Chapter 4: Rehearsing a new play

Shopkeeper Hu took the 4,000 taels of silver given by Li Cunqiao and went to the pawnshop to redeem it. The pawnshop owner is very unhappy, how can the pawn rule is that as long as the pawn is redeemed on time, the pawnshop must let the pawnbroker get back the pawn ticket, and the business will be cleared.

Shopkeeper Hu returned to the theater, took out the contract that had already been written, and signed the theater share contract with Xue Ziang in front of Li Cunqiao. Shopkeeper Hu happily put away the contract and went to work on himself. Xue Ziang wanted to thank Li Cunmiao again, but was stopped by Li Cunmiao: "Master Xue, no matter how polite you are, you can see the outside, as long as you and the troupe can settle down, it will not be in vain for you to learn opera and sing for many years, and Yumei will be at ease after she gets married in the future." Yumei beside her was moved to quietly take Li Cunmiao's hand, and looked at the considerate Li Cunmiao affectionately, Li Cunmiao shook Yumei's hand slightly, and smiled at her. Xue Ziang looked at the two little couples with a smile and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go and prepare for the play." ”

Yumei didn't shy away from people at all at this time, so she sat in the audience and spoke tightly according to Li Cunqiao, and the two of them talked and laughed. Guo Congqian looked at this side in the distance, and a jealous look flashed in his eyes.

That night, after the opera garden ended, Xue Ziang was ready to rehearse a new play, and he asked the shopkeeper Hu and the other guys to rest, leaving only one janitor. Li Cunmiao wanted to accompany Xue Yumei more, so he also stayed, and sat in the audience and watched with interest.

Xue Ziang said to his disciples: "Before, "Changsaka Slope" only ranked the first and eleventh scenes, and from today onwards, let's line up those missing scenes. Guo Congqian, Chen Jun, pretending to be Chu Deyuan, Zhou Zai, and Jing Jin began to arrange the second scene. Let me tell you about this scene first:

Liu Bei appeared and sang: Xingwang hegemony into Yanhan, (four hands, Jian Yong, Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, the people, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, two coachmen, two horse boys, two flags lead Liu Bei to the same as above.) ）

Liu Bei sang: Who knows that today is not thorough. Busy urging people and horses to escape from the tiger's den and Longtan. Cough!

(Reading) worry about the country and the people, hate to kill the lonely sky.

Zhao Yun (Nian) really tired a lot,

Zhang Fei (Nian) suffered hardships on the road. (White) cough!

Liu Bei (white) Alas, why did the third brother sigh?

Zhang Fei (white) thinks of you and my brother, since Taoyuan, I have won a hundred battles, and today I take these people to block the left and right, and make a good battlefield scattered, how can I not make my old Zhang frightened! (Zhang Fei sighs.) ）

Liu Bei (Bai) third brother, the victory or defeat of the military family is the common sense of the ancients, why should you be so scared?

Zhao Yun (Bai) three generals, see that although Cao Bing has the power of Mount Tai, if you and I are shot in the crotch and kill into Cao Ying, we will kill him and not return!

Zhang Fei (Bai) The fourth brother said that, it was just the car of the two imperial sisters-in-law, and there was no one to protect it.

Zhao Yun (white) three generals, I Zhao Yun is not talented, I am willing to protect the mother's vehicle to go.

Zhang Fei (white) is so scared, the fourth brother protects the vehicle and goes, and waits for Mr. and the second brother to borrow troops to come, and then make plans. When my old Zhang shakes his majesty and enters Cao Ying, he will definitely kill him!

Liu Bei (white) coughed, ashamed to kill heroes.

Liu Bei immediately sighed to himself, the brothers were married in Taoyuan. Breaking the Yellow Turban Soldier Millions, he has not had a day of leisure, and he has left his new ambition to fight, and now he knows that it is difficult to regret it.

Zhao Yun: Ancestor Liu has already revealed the Yin Spirit,

Zhang Fei: It's easy to regret before thinking.

Liu Bei (white) Oops! Listen to the noise of the people,

(Zhang He, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu, and Le Jin were divided from both sides and copied down.) ）

Liu Bei: It's like a sword forest and a sword mountain. (White) cough, the fourth brother is scared! Hurry up and show your majesty.

Zhang Fei: Waiting for you in front of the Yang Bridge.

Zhao Yun (white) Bah! The coachman and I are busy moving forward, riding alone to break Cao's concealment!

(Zhang He, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu, and Le Jin are the same as above, and the fight starts, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu, and Le Jin are defeated together, and Zhang He and Zhao Yun are gunshots, and the same is the same.) Everyone was the same, and they started fighting, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu, and Le Jin were defeated, and Zhao Yun chased down. That's the end of this second show. ”

It was the first time for Li Cunqiao to watch Xue Ziang teach people to rehearse the play, and he felt that this closed disciple of Gongsun Auntie was indeed unusual. "Changban Slope" has a big scene, Xue Ziang asked his disciples to practice on stage, called Xue Yumei to the open space in front of the audience, and said to Yumei: "The fourth scene of "Farewell My Concubine" will be completed today, I will play Xiang Yu for Congqian first, this scene is like this:

Xiang Yu (white) concubine, most of the enemy troops are Chu people, it must be Liu Bang who has won the land of Chu, and he is alone.

Yu Ji (white) was chasing the Central Plains at this time, and it was common for the heroes to rise up and occasionally suffer disadvantages. After a while, waiting for the arrival of Jiangdong rescuers, and then fighting with the enemy, I don't know who will kill the deer!

Xiang Yu (white) concubine, how do you know, the former heroes from all walks of life go their own way, the lonely family can extinguish a pool and fight a pool, and now all walks of life come together to attack, this is a small army and food is exhausted, it is impossible to defend. Even though the 8,000 soldiers were brave and strong, how could they be outnumbered and difficult to win. Lone sent troops this time to fight with that guy, and victory or defeat was uncertain. Ah, concubine!

Yu Ji (white) King!

Xiang Yu (white) It seems that today is the day when you and I are separated...... Finish!

Xiang Yu (singing) has been in love with each other for more than ten years, and I see that I am lonely and you are about to be separated.

(White) overheard the neighing of the war horse...... Squire, bring the horses to the tent!

Xiang Yu (white) Wuhu...... Woo! I want you to follow the lonely family to fight in the east and west, win all battles, and now you are besieged, even you, there is no place for it!

(Singing) The black horse knows that the general situation is going, so you rustle and hose under the hedge......

Yu Ji (white) King, King! King.

Yu Ji (white) Fortunately, in this place, the high rock is not easy to enter, waiting for the opportunity, and it is not too late to break the siege and ask for help...... Prepare the wine, and drink a few glasses with the king.

Xiang Yu (white) is so, the wine comes

King Yu Ji (white), please

Yu Ji (white) King please!

Xiang Yu (white) concubine, please!

Xiang Yu (white) wants me Xiang Yuhu!

(Singing) pull out the mountain and cover the world, the times are not good, the skulls do not pass away, what can be helped, what can be done?

King Yu Ji (white) sang generously and sadly, making people cry. When the concubine sings and dances, how about chatting to relieve her worries?

Xiang Yu (white) is so laborious!

Yu Ji (white) is so ugly!

Yu Ji (dancing and singing) persuaded the king to drink and listen to Yu songs, and relieved the king's sorrow and dance. Win Qin has no way to break the country, and the heroes are fighting in all directions. Since ancient times, as the saying goes, don't deceive me, the rise and fall of success or failure, and sit in the treasure tent with a relaxed heart.

Xiang Yu (white) has a concubine.

The close attendant (urgent, white) started to play the king, and the enemy army attacked from all sides, and he came to report it.

Xiang Yu (white) ordered the generals to meet the enemy on all sides!

The attendant (white) obeys.

The eight thousand disciples of the king of Qiqi have all been dispersed!

Xiang Yu (white) is so much!

Close servant B (white) obeys!

Xiang Yu (turned to Yu Ji, white) concubine, hurry up and fight with Gu to get out of the encirclement!

King Yu Ji (Bai), if you can break out of the encirclement this time, please retreat to Jiangdong, and then try to revive the Chu State and save the Li people. If the concubines are together, won't they involve the king to kill the enemy? That's it! Let the sword at the king's waist be before the king.

Xiang Yu (anxiously asked) What!

Yu Ji (white) saves you from worrying.

Xiang Yu (anxious white) Concubine, you, you, you, don't look for this short-sightedness!

Yu Ji (white) King!

(Singing) The Han soldiers have swept the land, embattled with singing, the king is exhausted, and the concubine is alive.

Xiang Yu (white) Wow! Concubine, don't look for such a short sight!

(Yu Ji wants to snatch the sword from his waist, but Xiang Yu turns around to avoid it)

Xiang Yu (white) can't find this short-sightedness!

(Yu Ji asked for the sword again, and Xiang Yu avoided it again)

Xiang Yu (white) concubine, you, don't look for this short-sightedness!

(Yu Ji asked for the sword for the third time, but Xiang Yu avoided it again)

Concubine Xiang Yu (white), don't look for this short-sightedness!

Yu Ji (pointing to the tent door, white) Han soldiers, he, he, he, he killed in!

Xiang Yu (I don't know if it's fake, I turned around to look, white) looked at the lonely ......

(As soon as he turned around, Yu Ji pulled out the sword from his waist...... Before long, Xiang Yu realized that he had been deceived, and suddenly lowered his head, and was surprised to see the sword scabbard that was empty from his waist)

Xiang Yu (turned back to Yu Ji and exclaimed) Ah! This--

(Before the words came out, Yu Ji had already seen herself in front of her, and Xiang Yu was stunned)

Xiang Yu (remorse, sigh) Oops!

This scene is the heaviest and most important part of "Farewell My Concubine", you have to practice hard, this part of sword dancing, you can ask Shizi to give you some guidance, he is an expert in sword dancing. ”

"Yes, Daddy, I'll ask for advice." Xue Yumei said, walked up to Li Cunmiao, playfully said Wanfu, and said with a smile: "Please Master Li teach Yumei to dance the sword." Xue Ziang and Li Cunmiao were amused and laughed. Xue Ziang smiled and said, "You Nizi, how can you ask someone for advice like this." Li Cunmiao also smiled and said: "Yumei is really naughty today, and I will teach you well as a teacher." As he spoke, he took the double swords in Yumei's hand and danced, only to see the sword flowers flying, which was very good-looking. Yumei waited for Li Cunqiao to close her momentum, and her jade hands applauded: "The prince dances so well!" Li Cunqiao said: "It's okay for me to kill the enemy with these tricks, but it's not beautiful for you to dance like this on stage, so it's better for you to learn a few tricks to pull the sword flower, and it may be better to add it to the sword dance." Xue Ziang and Xue Yumei expressed their approval at the same time.

Xue Ziang said again: "Yumei, you practice hard, I will teach you to play "The Drunken Concubine" in a few days." Li Cunmiao was interested when he heard it: "That's great! Yumei plays Yang Guifei, I'm really looking forward to it! ”
