Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 244 On the Peony Pavilion
After Tang Xianzu, played by Shen Yuelou, left the stage in a cool way, in the second scene, Du Liniang's parents came on stage to reveal their identity, and then called Miss Du out.

In fact, the general rehearsal of Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion" starts directly from "You Garden".

However, Shen Yuelou played Tang Xianzu first, and after returning to the backstage, she had to redress Cheng Du Liniang.

Therefore, he needs to let Du's father and Du's mother play for a while to give him enough time to change clothes.

Du's father and Du's mother sang a few words on the stage, and asked the family courtyard to call Du Liniang out.

"Miss, please come out."

Hearing the call from the stage, Du Liniang, played by Shen Yuelou, and Jian Xiaolan, who played the maid Chunxiang, came onto the stage with a wine tray.

Jian Xiaolan was originally a famous Kunqu Opera master, and she was in the same school as Guimen Dan and Tie Dan. In this play, Shen Yuelou played Du Liniang, so she could only settle for the next best job and Tie Dan Chunxiang.

The two walked together on the stage, matching their heights, and made a face to the audience.

I saw him wearing a pink silk shirt, his face was painted with the elegant makeup of a boudoir, and he was wearing a shiny and delicate head. He looked dignified and beautiful, unparalleled in beauty.

Standing next to her was a lively and pretty little maid wearing a red waistcoat, which brought out the lady's elegant temperament even more.

Seeing Shen Yuelou on the stage with such a beautiful image, all the audience in Yingzhou were stunned.

"Beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, how can it be so beautiful? It's so beautiful."

"Ahhhhh, where did this fairy come from? My soul is about to be taken away."

"This appearance, in comparison, completely outshines Mr. Bandou."

……

"Jiao Ying wants to talk, seeing the spring like this.

How can a heart like an inch of grass be rewarded with spring sunshine? "

After singing around the pool, Shen Yuelou bowed to the actors who played Du's father and Du's mother: "Blessings, father and mother."

"That's it."

Seeing that his daughter was so smart and polite, Du's father preached a few words, and he decided to find a teacher for her to teach her to read.

Du's father invited a Mr. Chen to teach Du Liniang, and Chunxiang, the maidservant, also accompanied her in the school.

Mr. Chen is highly educated and treats Du Liniang and Chunxiang very harshly.

Ms. Du has a gentle and generous temperament, and is diligent and studious, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

It's just that Chunxiang has a distasteful personality and doesn't know what to do with reading. When she goes to the study, she just jokes and plays, and she is unscrupulous in front of Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen took out a ruler to discipline Chunxiang, but she snatched it and threw it on the ground.

Chunxiang's actions directly made Mr. Chen so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and he packed up his bedding and was about to leave the library and go home.

In desperation, Du Liniang had no choice but to reprimand Chunxiang and ordered Chunxiang to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. Mr. Chen then calmed down and stopped worrying.

This part of Chunxiang's troubled school was quite interesting, and the audience also enjoyed watching it very happily, and gave warm applause one after another.

"Chunxiang is so cute, bold and naughty, and very interesting to talk about."

"Mr. Chen is so pitiful. It looks like he is about to cry from anger."

"Hahaha, if it wasn't for Mr. Chen being too old, it would be nice to make a happy couple with Chunxiang."

……

After some twists and turns in Chunxiang's school troubles, seeing that the spring day is just right, Ms. Du started her trip to the garden.

The melodious sound of the flute sounded, and Shen Yuelou walked onto the stage lightly with lotus steps.

"Dreaming back to the warbler, the years are full of chaos. People set up small courtyards and deep courtyards."

Accompanied by her graceful figure, after Shen Yuelou sang a section of swimming around the pond, the little girl Chunxiang sang: "The smoke is exhausted, and the embroidery thread is thrown away. Is this spring as good as last year?"

Sitting on the seat in the center of the stage, Shen Yuelou read softly: "Dawn came to look at the Meiguan, and the make-up is incomplete."

"Miss, you are wearing a Yichun bun on your side."

Asking the maid Chunxiang to bring the makeup mirror, Shen Yuelou couldn't help but sing a little step by step to the sound of the music: "The silk of Qingqing blows to the courtyard, and the spring is like a thread.

Stop for a while, and make flowers.

No water chestnut flower, stealing half of someone's face, and the colorful clouds that are meandering and funny.

How could Bu Xianggui show her whole body?

[Drunk Fugui] Your green dress is full of flowers, and the flower hairpins are filled with eight treasures. You can know that my love is nature all my life.

No one sees the benefits of just three springs.

If you don't be wary of the noise of the sinking fish, geese and birds, you will be afraid of the shy flowers closing the moon and trembling. "

As soon as Shen Yuelou sang this soft, waxy and delicate "Shuimo Tune", most of the audience in the audience were immediately confused.

This, this, this... is beyond the outline!

Although a large part of the audience in the audience are well-educated people from Yingzhou, they understand Chinese language, and even have a certain understanding of the tunes of different operas, but Shen Yuelou's Kunqu opera is sung in Zhongzhou rhyme, which is different from Huaxia's current Mandarin, and even if they can understand Zhongzhou rhyme, it's useless, they still need to understand classical Chinese.

This is also the reason why Kunqu opera has always been considered to have a high threshold. Even in China, there are many people who can't understand the quaint operas in it, let alone this group of Yingzhou people.

Ichiro Sakamoto and Tamasaburo Sakadong looked at each other in dismay, but they didn't understand the meaning of the line.

However, although they did not understand the meaning of the opera words, they had a deeper understanding of the beauty of Shen Yuelou's singing, rhyme and figure.

Ichiro Sakamoto applauded vigorously, while Tamasaburo Bandou shook his head and sighed, full of admiration for Shen Yuelou's artistic achievements.

Gestures, movements and even the expression and mouth shape when singing are all beautiful and beautiful.

In fact, the translation of Du Liniang's words is also very simple-wow, I am so beautiful, today is another beautiful day.

Therefore, what the audience saw and felt was correct.

Flicking sleeves, opening and closing folding fans, and coordinating with Jian Xiaolan to make a series of beautiful combined figures, Shen Yuelou's face can't help showing narcissism and boudoir resentment longing for love.

"This is already the gate of the garden, please come in, miss."

Following Jian Xiaolan into the garden, Shen Yuelou couldn't help saying a few words to Su Bai: "Come into the garden and see the gallery's golden powder."

Entering the garden, Jian Xiaolan bent her knees and waved her hand, pointing forward: "Miss, this is the goldfish pond."

"Goldfish pond, the moss in the pond hall is green."

Seeing the moss in front of the pavilion by the goldfish pond, Du Liniang couldn't help but want to go deep into the garden.

Chunxiang persuaded, "Treading grass is afraid of mud and new embroidered socks, cherishing flowers hurts little Jinling."

The "mud" here is used as a verb, and there is also an allusion to the little golden bell in the second half of the sentence. The bell is tied to the flower.

Every time a bird landed on the flower, the guards would pull the rope to scare the bird away.

Later generations used the "Golden Bell" as an allusion to cherishing flowers.

Here at Chunxiang, one is afraid that the mud on the grass will stain the lady's new embroidered socks, and the other is that the lady will trample on the gorgeous spring flowers in the garden.

Hearing Jian Xiaolan's words, Shen Yuelou shook her head and said, "Chunxiang, if you don't come to the garden, how do you know what spring looks like?"

Jian Xiaolan pinched the round fan, stretched her body, and said in a long voice: "That's it."

The sound of Qudi and Sanxian sounded, Shen Yuelou held the folding fan horizontally, Jian Xiaolan held the round fan vertically, the two bodies faced each other, and they cooperated to form a well-organized figure.

While doing the combination figure, Shen Yuelou still did not forget to sing the ancient famous Duan Zaoluo Robe on Earth.
