Chapter 49: Farewell My Concubine
"Third master, we can't endure it all the time, after so many years, even if we owe that kid a life, it's interesting for us to take care of him so much! Uncle Xu couldn't help it, and stood up after patting the table, but at this time, the weather-beaten old man was full of tears and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"If you owe them a life, you have to pay back this thing, and you can't make up for it with anything else. Wei San shook his head as he spoke.
"This unfilial son is going to kill you!" Uncle Xu burst into tears, seeing that the third master was still indifferent.
"Grandpa, what the hell is going on? You told us!" Wei Xiaoou listened to the words of Uncle Xu and Wei San, and her heart was full of energy, she was also anxious for her grandfather!
Wei Sanye smiled bitterly and said, "This is all my sin......! Alas, this has to start from the past!"
It was when Japan first arrived in Beiping, and Wei San was also living in Shanghai at that time, which coincided with a Peking Opera troupe at that time, which also performed in Shanghai. Most of these ticket holders belong to a box office, and they are all friends who love Peking Opera, so it is convenient for everyone to compete with each other. Second, from time to time, you can also invite one or two famous actors to play a few scenes, like that Shengdan Jingmo ugly, all kinds of cultural relics scenes, you can learn something, as for looking for some personal training, go home and teach you a few voices, then you have to talk about it. The ticket friends in the north called the ticket, the south called the ticket play, and the internal affairs office in the capital in the north at that time, in order to let those Eight Banner children do something serious and stay away from tobacco and alcohol, they also deliberately made the box office, and stamped it with a dragon pattern, and called this ticket a dragon ticket.
Wei San was a fan of opera at the time, so to what extent did he fan this Peking opera, let's put it this way, he set up a scene by himself, let others come to watch him sing, and he prepared cars and horses for everyone who came, not to mention tea, water, melons and fruits, sometimes, if anyone is able to speak well, taking advantage of Wei Sanye's mind, then Wei San is even more a part of others when he leaves. Over time, there are more people who come to see Wei Sanye watch the play, and there are more people who say good things, and there are not a few flattering people, this Wei San really thinks that he can compare with those famous drama actors.
But there are exceptions to everything, at that time, in the not-so-famous Peking Opera Troupe in Shanghai, Wei Sanye met a person who told the truth, that person was a Danjiao, one day Wei Sanye wanted to invite someone to accompany him to act, playing "Farewell My Concubine", then acting in this play at that time, the best actors were the famous Mei Lanfang and Yang Xiaolou. Although Wei San couldn't invite these famous actors to play with him at that time, it was still okay to invite a few people from the small troupe to play with him. So this Wei Sanye chose a Dan from the troupe, Wei Sansheng has a national character face, a wide face, and a hairy beard, and he is still a little powerful when he plays the overlord of Chu! As for the singing, don't mention it, it is all flattered by others.
At that time, he was singing in Wei San's house, and as soon as Yu Ji opened his mouth, he sang, "Since I, I have fought with the king in the east and west, and I have suffered from wind and frost and hard work, year after year. Hate only hated the unprincipled Qin to ruin the lives of the people, and only caused the people to suffer. "That voice, that tone, that is a serious Beijing accent, and that appearance is no worse than Mei Lanfang, every move really makes the audience applaud.
Wei Sanye was stunned when he stood up, and then this master followed unhurriedly, "The gun picked several generals in the Han camp, how can you beware of hiding on all sides, and the general ordered Hugh to send troops to return to the camp tent." "The two of you, you and I say a word, then Wei San sang happily, but this "Yu Ji" was uncomfortable, and finally finished singing this paragraph, this Wei Sanye went down to rest and drink tea, and he also got off the stage.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, this "Yu Ji" came over to criticize and advise, and said, "Third master, our Peking Opera pays attention to a correct tone, although your tone is good, your waist turns too much, and what you sing is a mouth full of inverted words and drifting sounds, which is not in accordance with the rules." At that time, this group of singers were all saying good things to Wei San, but this "Yu Ji" was serious. Just in time for this Wei Sanye to drink in a daze, without saying a word, raising his hand was a slap in the face to "Yu Ji", which slapped the "Yu Ji" down. (The inverted word drifting is a violation of the four-tone law of Peking Opera pronunciation, and the wrong word is called an inverted word.) )
"It also depends on that you are also a corner, you sing well today, Xiao Xu give him a share, let him get out of me!" Wei Sanye didn't think too much, at that time he drank more than half a catty of liquor, and he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad words, so he beat people indiscriminately.
It wasn't until the next morning that I thought about it and felt that I had done something wrong, this Wei Sanye was really guilty about the Danjiao yesterday, and he pondered in his heart, and he also knew that what people said was right! That night, he asked people to prepare a car to go to the troupe to apologize to others, Wei Sanye went in to take a look, and dared to love the woman who sang with him yesterday, and found that the person he beat yesterday was a woman, this Wei Sanye felt uncomfortable, and he was embarrassed! At that time, there were very few women in the Peking Opera of the Republic of China, and even the Danjiao were mostly men, that is, the four most famous Dan Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun, and Xun Huisheng at that time, none of them were women, if Wei San knew that the person who came to sing with him yesterday was a woman, even if he drank too much, he would not beat others.
This Wei San saw the woman for the first time, the woman was hanging her throat, and she didn't wear makeup, she looked very delicate, and when she inquired with the troupe master, she knew that this girl was only twenty this year, and she was really a pear blossom woman, delicate and dignified. Wei San blushed and went over to apologize, originally prepared some light gifts, but Wei San knew that this was a woman and gave the jade pendant he was carrying.
"Third master, the slave family is just a play, the third master doesn't have to care. The little woman said shyly, although the words are round, but she is born to be a horn, and she often sings "Farewell My Concubine" with a little sadness in her voice, which Wei San thought that people were wronged. So as long as this woman has a scene, Wei San will go to support her.
After a long time, the two of them often play together, and this Feng Yinglian is naturally a considerate master, this Wei Sanye really likes this Feng Yinglian, but because there is already a wife and two aunts in this family, I am embarrassed to talk to this yellow flower girl. At that time, it happened that Du Yuesheng, the boss of Shanghai, was also in love with Meng Xiaodong, the emperor of that winter, and this Wei Sanye felt that the person in his picture was no worse than that Meng Xiaodong, so he came like Boss Du, how Du Yuesheng praised Meng Xiaodong's field, he praised this Feng Yinglian, although the scene was not so big, but this Feng Yinglian also just debuted, but it was in line with the rules.
But from the time the Japanese fought to Beiping, to the end of the Anti-Japanese War, although these two people said that Lang had the intention of being a concubine, they were embarrassed to speak, and then this was another time when Wei San drank too much, in front of a group of people, he hugged Feng Yinglian, and he had to act with her in the Beijing opera "The Legend of the White Snake" in the "Worship Hall" paragraph, this Wei San would not sing this Legend of the White Snake at all, this is the addiction of drinking too much to get married.
So the matter of these two people became the wife of Wei San's third aunt, and it was a good thing to get to the point, but the bad was bad for the other two aunts' wives, at that time Wei San's main house died early, these two aunts and wives were all beautiful women, one was a banner man of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other was a wealthy businessman in Jinxi, both of whom looked down on Feng Yinglian.
Feng Yinglian has not been able to sing in public since she married into the Wei family, and these two "sisters" look down on her as a drama background, and she herself is also aggrieved, at that time, this Wei Sanye bought big cigarettes, so this Feng Yinglian became addicted to smoking later. Within a few years, the civil war started again, and Jiang Ming told Wei San a fortune, and then told Wei San clearly, saying that although he had done a lot for the prime minister, he should take his family to Hong Kong now and come back in thirty years. This Wei San believed Jiang Ming at that time, firstly because Jiang Ming had great ability, and secondly because both of them were from Yanjing City, and the two of them were brothers who played from childhood to adulthood.
But at that time, this was just in time for Feng Yinglian to be pregnant with a child, but this Feng Yinglian smoked a lot, and she didn't show her body if she had a child in her belly, and when everyone was about to withdraw to Hong Kong, Wei San's two aunts and wives knew that Feng Yinglian was pregnant with a child, and when everyone got on the plane, they let people lock this Feng Yinglian in Yanjing's house, and since then, the fate of Feng Kui and Feng Yinglian has come to an end. Later, when Feng Yinglian's fans ran to Hong Kong, they told Wei San that Wei San's third aunt was too likely to be pregnant with a child.
At that time, this Wei San wanted to return to Yanjing City immediately, but the whole country had not been liberated at that time, and Lao Jiang still had a glimmer of life.
Until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this Wei San was the first batch to return to this Yanjing City, when the country also helped this Wei San do a lot of publicity, at that time did not catch up with the mess of ten years, but the chairman also personally met with him, saying that he was a capitalist with a conscience and devoted himself to the motherland. But in fact, he came back to find Feng Yinglian and the child in her womb, and this child was that Feng Kui. So no matter how this Feng Kui offended this Wei San, Wei San was just fighting on the surface, but behind the scenes, he let this Feng Kui take over his own power little by little.
"It turns out that I still have an uncle, I only knew that there was still a tablet for the fourth grandmother at home, but I didn't know that I also had an uncle. Wei Xiaoou listened to his grandfather's sour narration, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"What your second and third grandmothers did back then was too much, even if Xiaolian gave birth to a child, I wouldn't forget the two of them!" This Wei San's second and third aunts are too addicted to smoking, and they don't want Feng Yinglian to smoke for a short time, and the two wives take a few puffs whenever they are free, and they didn't leave a son and a half daughter for the old man, but this Feng Yinglian gave birth to a child for the old man.
After this Feng Yinglian gave birth to this Feng Kui, her body did not cultivate well, which fell to the root of the disease, coupled with a big smoking addiction, when Feng Kui was six years old, this Feng Yinglian died, and Feng Kui was entrusted to a senior brother who had a good relationship with her at that time, and the senior brother was a martial arts student, and he knew some martial arts. And this senior brother has actually always been in love with his junior sister, but why didn't he wait for him to speak, this senior sister has already married a wife, and after this senior brother saw his junior sister follow this Feng Kui, he not only became addicted to smoking, but his voice became more and more unhelpful, and finally he was abandoned.
The hatred for Wei San in his heart was all on his lips, and it was also because of this that Feng Kui inherited his adoptive father's hatred for his biological father, and he also remembered that when his mother was seriously ill, he hummed the sentence in "Farewell My Concubine" on the sickbed: persuade the king to drink and listen to Yu songs, and relieve 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. Feng Yinglian sang while gesturing with Yu Ji taking the sword from the Chu Overlord San, until she was so angry that she couldn't catch it, then she slowly closed her eyes.
Although Feng Kui's mother often told Feng Kui about Wei Sanye's deeds back then, saying that although Wei San did not sing like the overlord of Chu, he was the most similar in temperament. After his mother died, Feng Kui thought in his heart that "Yu Ji" was dead, but the "overlord" was still alive in the world after Yu Ji's death, which should not be, so Feng Kui's killing intent towards Wei Sanye never decreased.
The clip of Yu Ji asking the overlord of Chu for a sword to kill herself
Xiang Yu (turned to Yu Ji, white) - concubine, hurry up and get out of the encirclement with Lone!
Yu Ji (white) - O king, if you can break out of the siege this time, please retreat to Jiangdong, and then try to revive the Chu State and save the Li people. If the concubines were to go together, wouldn't they involve the king in killing the enemy?
Xiang Yu (anxious question) - What!
Yu Ji (white) - I don't want you to worry.
Xiang Yu (anxious white) - concubine, you, you, you, you can't find such a short sight!
Yu Ji (white) - O 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 find this 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 sight!
(Yu Ji asked for the sword again, and Xiang Yu avoided it again)
Xiang Yu (white) - Concubine, don't find this short-sightedness!
(Yu Ji asked for the sword for the third time, but Xiang Yu avoided it again)
Xiang Yu (white) - concubine, 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, turn around and look, white) - wait for Gu to see......
(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!
(Before the words came out, Yu Ji had already seen herself in front of her, and Xiang Yu was stunned)
Xiang Yu (repentant, sighing) - oops!
