Chapter 151 The Impermanence of Life

Chapter 151 The Impermanence of Life
Seeing Zhu Yueming who played Zhao Luhan and Zhao Xiyu who played Zhao Shouzhen slowly leave the stage accompanied by two extras, the audience applauded immediately.

"I really like Xue Xiangling and Zhao Shouzhen. Unfortunately, they haven't met, and I don't know what will happen next."

"Mei Xiang is also very cute."

"I don't know the character of their husbands and sons-in-law. I hope they can treat them kindly."

"Xue Xiangling is so kind and Zhao Shouzhen is so sensible, they will definitely live happily ever after."

……

The next two scenes respectively staged Xue Xiangling and her husband Zhou Tingxun paying homage to the hall, and her happy life after marriage.

The Zhou family is also a wealthy family in Dengzhou, and Zhou Tingxun is also handsome. The couple has a deep love for each other. After their marriage, Lin'er was born, who is now ten years old this year.

On this day, the wind was warm and the sun was shining, so Xue Xiangling thought about taking Mei Xiang and her son Zhou Daqi back to her parents' home.

Stepping onto the stage slowly, followed by Lin Xiaolin and a baby girl, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but sang a piece of Xipi Yuanban: "After getting married, I don't feel that the time flies like an arrow, and I'm still beautiful and beautiful when I'm young. Take a long street tour with your little girl all over."

Suddenly, the drums were beating wildly, and the four actors rushed towards the three of them. As they ran, they said to each other: "It's amazing, there's a flood!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Yuelou put on a frightened expression, and sang a piece of Xipi sanban in a hurry: "I heard the cry of the cry again, but why did all the people run away? Seeing this scene made me feel terrified and called The coachman changed his route and hurried back."

As soon as the words fell, the twelve actors came onto the stage from the upper stage door and the lower stage respectively, and directly engulfed the three people on the stage to get off the stage.

The huqin sounded, the curtain opened, and the timeline had already arrived half a month later.

Zhou Tingxun brought Zhou Daqi, Mei Xiang, and Xue's mother who came to hear the news, but Xue Xiangling was not there.

A flood washed away the wealth of Zhou and Xue's family, and they were all ruined.

"Such floods are unexpected, and Wan Guan's family wealth paid for Wang Yang."

Mrs. Xue, played by Lao Dan Sun Yuegui, sang a section of Xipi Shake Ban, and then cried: "Oh, my family's wealth has been washed away by the water, and my Xiangling daughter is alive or dead. Why don't you make me sad?"

After a few words of persuasion from the people next to him, they ended up together.

Seeing this cutscene that explained the plot, the audience couldn't help but worry for Xue Xiangling.

"Miss Xue is lost, what should I do?"

"I haven't found it in half a month. I'm afraid it will be more or less ominous. Is it going to be a tragedy?"

"Who will save our Miss Xue?"

"Flood, see flood again."

……

The curtain closed and opened again, the gongs played the long silk head tunes, Shen Yuelou changed into a poor attire, and stepped onto the stage through the entrance door.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

After a tearful cry, Shen Yuelou added a Xipi Sanban: "In an instant, I came to another world."

Looking around on the stage, he couldn't help calling Mei Xiang softly.

"My name is Mei Xiang, why doesn't she come?"

After softly singing a line of Xipi Sanban, Shen Yuelou murmured to himself: "Master, I'm hungry!"

After hearing this line and thinking about Xue Xiangling's life experiences, the audience couldn't help but feel sad.

"Our Miss Xue is so pitiful. She has never suffered anything in her life."

"Yeah, she doesn't know that both the Xue family and the Zhou family have fallen."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"Be content, this is already a special treatment. Think about Dou E, think about Du Shiniang, no matter how bad it is, think about Su San, who is no worse than Miss Xue."

"Uh, it seems to be true. Boss Shen is becoming more and more gentle now. Starting from "Dou E's Injustice", basically the tragic level of the plot has gradually decreased."

Hungry, Xue Xiangling walked into Laizhou Fucheng, and suddenly saw a benevolent family setting up a shed to give porridge.

She came forward to beg for a bowl of porridge. The servant who gave her porridge saw that she was pitiful and asked her if she would like to be a servant in the house and take care of the young master at home.

Thinking that he had nowhere to go, and that his son might have been buried in Bo Tao, Xue Xiangling agreed with tears.

The sound of Beijing Hu sounded, and Lu Shengchou played by Li Yuefang and Zhao Shouzhen played by Zhao Xiyu came on stage with their maids and servants.

"Fame and fame are free from poverty."

After Li Yuefang finished reading a sentence, Zhao Xiyu continued to read: "I will always be grateful to the person who gave me the bag."

The two worked together to make a combined figure, and Lu Shengchou looked at the servant serving the porridge and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to my husband and wife: Didn't you tell me to find an old lady to coax the young master? I have already found it."

After hearing this conversation and seeing Zhao Shouzhen's appearance, the audience shouted that Xiangling was saved.

"It turned out to be Zhao Shouzhen. Boss Shen's plot design is really good."

"It's true that kindness is rewarded with kindness. Xue Xiangling has been kind to Zhao Shouzhen. Now, seeing that Miss Xue is down and out, Zhao Shouzhen will definitely treat her kindly."

"That's right, the fate of life is really unpredictable. Zhao Shouzhen's husband and son-in-law made a comeback by studying in the exams, but the Xue family and the Zhou family were ruined by a flood. So, it's better to study."

……

The audience in the audience thought that Zhao Shouzhen would treat Xue Xiangling kindly, but the story on stage surprised them.

Zhao Shouzhen and Xue Xiangling did not recognize each other. When they met in Chunqiu Pavilion, they were both in the sedan chair and had never met each other. Zhao Shouzhen didn't even have time to ask for their names.

"It's confusing to care about it. We are substituting God's perspective, but we forget that Xue Xiangling and Zhao Shouzhen have never met."

"What should we do? How can we get them to recognize each other? It's really worrying."

"Suo Lin Nang, hahaha, this is a token and a clue. Boss Shen's play is wonderfully written."

"The props are also exquisitely used. The function of this lock bag is no less than that of the kite in "Kite Mistakes"."

……

When he really became a servant and faced Lu Tianlin’s unreasonable demands of paper-cutting, catching butterflies, and being a cow and horse, Xue Xiangling couldn’t help but sang the Erhuang Adagio in a mournful voice: “In an instant, all emotions have been exhausted, and I have reached the place of bitterness.” Tears wet the lapel."

After singing two full lines, and with the music becoming more and more urgent, Shen Yuelou immediately took over and sang a long section of Erhuang Kuai Sanyan: "I only know that iron, wealth and honor are forged in one's life, but who knows that misfortunes and fortunes will happen in an instant." It's clear; I think I used to dress up in clothes and brocades back then, but now I only have rags and old skirts.

This is also a lesson from God. He taught me to put away remaining hatred, avoid coquettish anger, and reform myself, change my love, stop falling in love with passing water, turn around in a sea of ​​bitterness, and realize Lan Yin early.

It is a pity that I am so poor, so poor, my son..."

Hearing this elegant and unique voice, the audience and judges were touched again.

Generally speaking, Peking Opera libretto is very regular, with seven-character lines or one cross-line line. However, in this section, Boss Shen boldly used long and short sentences for the first time in order to meet the needs of literary description and characters.

This is already a great innovation.

"Boss Shen is too powerful. This kind of rhythmic and rhythmic, rhythmic and short sentences, coupled with his sobbing and low-pitched new accent and exquisite figure, expressive expressions are also full of amazing beauty."

"The world is so cold, but with a bit of warmth and melancholy, this feeling is too subtle."

"The characters grow and change. Boss Shen portrayed Xue Xiangling's emotions so realistically."
