Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 233
"Wow, this sound is so beautiful. It's crisp and melodious, full of charm. Is this a Chinese opera?"

"In order to let us better understand the plot, the drama exchange group also specially prepared text prompts, which is really considerate."

"I heard that the people who came here this time are all famous actors with extraordinary strength in the Chinese opera world. We are really blessed."

……

Today, more than half of the audience who come to see a play at the Jingdu Theater are people from the literary and artistic circles in Yingzhou——actors, writers, painters, designers, etc.

A small number of them are proficient in Chinese, and some even have a deep understanding of Chinese opera.

As soon as they heard Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen singing with such proficiency, they all applauded and cheered.

The curtain slowly opened, and amidst the melodious sound of the guqin, a cute and cute little book boy walked onto the stage slowly carrying a bookcase.

As soon as the gongs, drums and flute sounded, Liang Shanbo played by Shen Yuelou and Zhu Yingtai played by Han Zaifen also came up from both sides of the stage.

Shen Yuelou was dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, with a handsome face and imposing manner, while Han Zaifen was dressed in a white Confucian shirt, with picturesque features, handsome and unrestrained.

The two stood on the stage like a couple, and immediately attracted the attention of all the audience in the audience.

"It's really good-looking. The one in the blue clothes is handsome and handsome, and the one in the white clothes has picturesque features. Their skin and bones are so good-looking."

"Are all Chinese opera actors so beautiful?"

"What a handsome man, I suddenly became interested in Huaxia opera."

Shen Ruyi was sitting in the front row of the Jingdu Theater. As soon as she saw Shen Yuelou appearing, she immediately turned her head excitedly and said to Pan Xiaonan, "It's brother Xiaoyou, brother Xiaoyou has appeared."

Not far from Shen Ruyi's seat, Sakamoto Ichiro and Sakadong Yusaburo also began to mobilize more than a dozen friends beside them to applaud Shen Yuelou.

……

Seeing that the audience in Yingzhou was so supportive, the actors of the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Troupe suddenly became more confident and performed harder.

"I, Liang Shanbo, walked out of the ravine."

"I walked out of Zhu Yingtai from Xiulou."

Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen sang a duet on the stage, and their respective servants followed behind them carrying burdens.

Amidst the jubilant music, Shen Yuelou sang in Huangmei's niche tune: "I went to Hangzhou to seek a famous teacher to study. How could I have seen this vast world on the back of a bull? How can a small mountain stream compare to Qiantang's tidal head and thousands of horses galloping like never before?" Seeing so many students stepping forward."

After Shen Yuelou finished singing, Han Zaifen immediately sang in Huadan tune: "The bird in the cage flies out freely. Only when you leave the boudoir can you appreciate the openness of the fields. How can a small garden be compared to the vast mountains and rivers to open your heart. The flowers on the roadside greeted the guests and made their cheeks blush. "

After singing this passage, the music stopped, and Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen walked together to smooth things over. Their school boy Sijiu and Yin Xin also quarreled for a piece of bluestone shade under the willow tree by the roadside.

"Hey, get out of the way! I came first!"

"Get out of the way! I'm here first!"

Seeing the two book boys pushing each other, the hosts Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai immediately shouted to stop Yin Xin and Si Jiu, and went to apologize to each other in person.

"This man, the family boy is rude,..."

"If you offend me, this side will make amends!"

Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen bowed their heads at the same time, and couldn't help touching their heads together.

Seeing such a funny scene, not only Yin Xin and Sijiu on stage were overjoyed, but the audience in Yingzhou couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I seem to understand a little bit. Is this drama a love drama?"

"It turns out that the white-clothed scholar is a woman disguised as a man."

"These two actors on stage are really good-looking, and they acted very well."

"Their singing is so charming, even better than Kabuki singing."

……

The drama on the stage was still going on, and after the meeting ceremony, the two began to report their families and the purpose of their trip.

Knowing that the other party is also going to Lin'an to study, the two couldn't help but burst into joy, and each expressed their ambition to study.

"I have no big ambitions and am ashamed to speak out, and I have been farming and rolling mountains since I was a child.

Just because I love poetry, books and rituals, my kind school teacher advised me to seek my teacher in Hangzhou.

I just want to be a scholar and go back to my hometown to teach the country boys, and I love to hear the sound of the books.

Earn enough to learn to serve the old mother, and buy two more cows in ten acres of Susukida. "

Hearing Liang Shanbo's ambition, Zhu Yingtai and maid Yin Xin couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh lightly.

Seeing the two laughing, Liang Shanbo, played by Shen Yuelou, didn't care, and couldn't help asking about Zhu Yingtai's ambitions.

Han Zaifen flicked his sleeves, and sang sonorously: "There are so many ancient sages who are always encouraged in their hearts, and those who admire them are Gao Zhiyuan who made great achievements."

Hearing that Zhu Yingtai had lofty ideals, Liang Shanbo immediately became sworn brothers.

So, under the shade of willows, the two rubbed earth into a furnace, planted willows for incense, and became brothers of the opposite sex.

"Today we become brothers, and the classmates read together and depend on each other.

Gougou hands to swear, if anyone changes his mind..., he will turn into a yellow dog eating mud. "

Hearing Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's sworn vows, some audience members who could understand Chinese couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft, turned into a yellow dog eating mud, hahaha, this drama is so interesting."

"Yes, the lyrics are full of rural slang, and the singing is also full of earthy fragrance. This is a real opera with artistic vitality."

"When the word "change of heart" is mentioned, it is not like sworn brothers, but rather like an oath between husband and wife."

……

The curtain fell slowly, and Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen left the stage together with the other two actors.

Behind the stage curtain, Shen Yuelou and Han Zaifen started a duet in Huangmeidan: "Brotherhood grows with time, and now it is sweet-scented osmanthus yellow. Unexpectedly, the teacher and mother have problems, how can this pair of brothers live in the same room?" How can this pair of brothers live in the same room (angangang~~)?"

As soon as the narration of the plot is sung, it shows that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai have been in Lin'an Academy for some time.

There were more and more students in the academy, and there were not enough dormitories. The teacher in charge of allocating dormitories assigned Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who were very close friends, into one room.

The curtain opened again, and Liang Shanbo played by Shen Yuelou immediately looked at Zhu Yingtai played by Han Zaifen with joy on his face and said, "My dear brother, it's really great that you moved in with me today."

Han Zaifen glanced at him lightly, and couldn't help asking with a melancholy expression, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to ask you for advice, I'm begging for your advice."

Shen Yuelou circled around Han Zaifen for two times, and while doing the posture of writing with a pen, she couldn't help but sing softly to the brisk music: "Your composition is as happy as a fast horse chasing the wind, but I am as happy as I am with the pen." It is difficult for the old cow to climb uphill to work. From now on, I beg you to give more guidance under the lamp, and make me, sesame seeds emit some oil to give out some fragrance."

Han Zaifen slightly avoided him, and sang softly: "He doesn't know the truth and likes to live in the same room, it's hard to break Yingtai's heart. Although he is simple and honest, he is the elder brother, because of him and me, he still has to hide his real body."
