Mr. Minguo's kitchen

After the luncheon, everyone's interest remained undiminished, and at the invitation of Prince Chun, they moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony not far away, where there was a good show carefully prepared for all the guests.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the stage set was set up early, and the figures behind the scenes hurriedly covered by the curtain.The erhu player on the side of the stage has already opened the erhu in one hand, and the gongs and drums are beeping softly, urging the actors of all parties to come on stage quickly.

Yuan Xiaolan has already changed into Mu Guiying's attire. She has an exquisite improved red girl's back, with colored balls and cloud shoulders, and light blue colored trousers underneath. Her hair is combed, and two long thread curtains hang down In front of him, the temples were attached to the gorgeous seven-star forehead, and the two long tails swayed slightly on his head with his movements. The charming and heroic makeup made him change his delicate and restrained appearance. He stood quietly There, she was wearing a heavy costume, her back was still as straight as a pine tree on a distant mountain, looking at the net corner who had already appeared outside, there was already drama in her eyes.

"The marshal sent the order, and Meng Liang stepped up the whip immediately..."

The two old gentlemen who played the dramatic roles of Meng Liang and Jiao Zan on the stage were all colleagues in the Liyuan invited by Yuan Xiaolan. Among them was the drama master Mr. Yuan Feng, and only he had the face to invite these people.Back then, when he first arrived in Fengtian, this old gentleman who had more than half a teacher's friendship with Yuan Xiaolan still called friends and made friends, and performed for three days at the Fengtian Grand Theater. Yuan Xiaolan, who is not familiar with the place, has greatly expanded her reputation in Fengtian.

These are already well-known actors, enjoying the blessings of their children and grandchildren at home, and not going out of the mountain easily, but now they are all gathered in this Hall of Supreme Harmony, once again playing supporting roles for the young offspring.If the people in the Liyuan line came to see this meeting, they would probably be surprised. This lineup, even the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals, are carefully selected from the most prestigious opera troupe in the capital, which is the Ruyi troupe where Yuan Xiaolan grew up. It can be said that they were selected because of painstaking efforts for this play for the emperor.

Mr. Yuan, who has also changed his clothes now, walked over with a big painted face while looking at his clothes, "Don't talk about Xiaolan, you changed this outfit, it's not only convenient to wear, but also looks more attractive." I feel refreshed, as if I have removed the decayed smell from my outfit. Even this makeup is particularly eye-catching, it’s a fearsome future..."

Yuan Xiaolan supported the old gentleman, not daring to take credit for it, "The teacher is too famous, you don't blame the students for changing the things of the ancestors."

Mr. Yuanfeng waved his hand and stopped his modest words, "Your thinking is right. Our generation is already old, and we can only act with the things left by our ancestors, but you young people don't Similarly, the brains of young people are very active. I think that as long as the soul of the play is there and the essence of tradition remains, it can’t be overstated. The times are changing, and the play has to change. The play must always look good. Change, otherwise, there will be fewer and fewer people watching this, and everyone will go to the civilized dramas of foreigners, and Beijing operas are not allowed? But I am a little curious, where did you get this idea from?"

"To tell you the truth, I improved these by referring to Fengtian's civilized operas and their new stage. I learned the lighting, make-up and costume design of the foreigners. I want to take their strengths and integrate them into Peking opera. I have to say, The dramas in the past are good enough, but not 'good-looking' enough, and the civilized dramas of foreigners are much better than Peking Opera."

"It makes sense, you are a very talented child, as expected..."

"This is also thanks to my friend Wei Rui's advice."

Mr. Yuan Lao thought about the young man who had a close relationship with Marshal Fengtian, and sighed with some awe: "That is also a powerful young man..."

Yuan Xiaolan deeply believed that, in his opinion, there was nothing Lin Weirui didn't understand. He heard that even the symphony that surprised the guests at the beginning was the result of discussions between him and Mr. He Sifu.

Yuanfeng patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it, listen to this tune, it's time for you to play, go, it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk to find out." Knowing whether he should treat himself as a mule or a horse, he could only nod and take the props handed over by the boy, flinging the corners of his clothes, swaying gracefully, making his debut amidst the accelerated erhu of the luthier.

On the gorgeous stage, a ray of light came from a distance with a handsome young lady on the stage. The young lady's surname was Mu and her name was Guiying. The village has a great reputation, and now there is nothing missing, except for a wishful gentleman!Mu Guiying went hunting with his entourage when he had nothing to do, and the action of riding a horse and shooting geese was done in one go, it can be said that a woman does not give up on her eyebrows!

Unexpectedly, on the way, he met a handsome boy with a white face. Mu Guiying fell in love with him and wanted to take him back to the village. The servant speaks up. Longmu's business is all up to me, you and I will go up the hillside together..."

In the audience, Yu Zuotang was the first to applaud: "The eyes are beautiful! Pretty and not sloppy, worthy of being the empress of Liyuan Lan!" "Good!"

This is not polite flattery, and the gentlemen in the audience applauded. Some senior fans even subconsciously touched their hands and found that there were no peanuts.

They really didn't expect that this Danjiao can play like this?In the past, among the four major actors in Liyuan, except for a few songs, the role of "Dan" has never been the protagonist of a big drama, and it has not received much attention. The beautiful play is all on other characters.They usually stand on the stage, babbling and singing lyrics, and occasionally there are one or two small movements, all of which are subtle movements of swinging their sleeves.The actors focus on singing skills, which led to fanciers going to Liyuan, where they usually ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts, leaned back on a chair under the stage, and closed their eyes to listen to the play.Old people often say that they listen to operas instead of watching them, and this is the reason.That's why Yuan Xiaolan said just now that the previous plays were good, but not good enough.

The reason why the fledgling Yuan Xiaolan became famous is not only because of his good singing and unique voice, but also because of his good face and body. The beauties on the stage frown and stare with drama in their eyes, and everyone loves it when they listen to it. To see him.I never expected that today's scene was not only performed on the corners of the eyes and brows, but after the whole scene, the delicate little lady's hands were not sloppy at all, with all kinds of beautiful eyes.Even the movements of the young generals and maids beside them seemed to be dancing, neat and pleasing to the eye without losing their original charm.According to the memories of later people, if the previous play was static, holding it up, even if it moved, it was the movement of a marionette, then since Mr. Yuan, this play has become a swimming koi in ink painting, flexible and friendly .

This was the first time Yuan Xiaolan sang a martial arts show, but his movements were not artificial at all, but crisp and neat. Even the gesture of molesting the gentleman was lifelike, not showing any lewdness, which made people clap their hands and applaud.

The young man he liked didn't follow, so the little lady Mu Guiying simply grabbed it. The two armies faced each other, and the drums and gongs shook the sky. When I got down, the corners of my clothes fluttered, my eyes were dazzled, and I was refreshed and excited to see it.The audience burst into applause again.

At this time, basically people with a little connection with the cultural world like to listen to dramas, even those who were born in warlords are also good at it, so they can basically hear the famous operas.

This is undoubtedly a unique feast of food and art.A banquet made everyone remember Youfeng Laiju, Liang Zhu and Yuan Xiaolan.The guests came back in high spirits, and the host had a bright face, so everyone was really happy.

After the curtain closed, Yuan Xiaolan sent off several old gentlemen in person. Before leaving, the elder called him to a place where no one was around, hesitating a bit, "Xiaolan, tell Master honestly, what kind of relationship are you with that Lu Liuye?" relation?"

Yuan Xiaolan didn't know, so, "This... should be regarded as a friend. He helped me a lot." Whether it was in Fengtian or Beiping.

The old gentleman suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So it is like this, Xiaolan, I have something about my teacher, which has troubled me for a long time. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should tell you."

Yuan Xiaolan's heart jumped suddenly, and she felt that this matter had something to do with that person, "Teacher, please tell me, students listen."

"It's not a big deal, but I think you still remember that when you first arrived in Fengtian, my teacher was afraid that you wouldn't get used to it, so I brought someone to play for you."

"Naturally remember, the teacher's kindness, the students will never forget it."

The old man waved his hand, "No, Xiaolan. I didn't actually receive an invitation from Youfeng to live in that day, but a young brother who claimed to be Lu Liuye's subordinate came to my house one day. Come on, say that you are willing to pay a lot of money, and ask me to go north to Fengtian to help you."

Yuan Xiaolan was completely stunned, never expecting that there would be a turning point in the middle, and it would be Lu Liuye who secretly helped her again.

The old man stroked his fake beard, "You are my student. I thought you should be able to make a difference even in Fengtian, which you are not familiar with. But even outsiders care about you more than me as a master, and want to I really look down on me for using money. As soon as my violent temper came up, I scolded people. After I calmed down, I felt a little scared. After all, this soldier can crush us to death with one finger. , I didn’t expect that the next day, the famous Lu Liuye would come to talk to me in person. After that, it was he who paid a lot of money to hire those friends who still had a bit of prestige, so that the Fengtian Grand Theater came out. By the way, The theater owner is also Lu Liuye's subordinate."

After two bombs were dropped in a row, Yuan Xiaolan's eyes widened. The self-proclaimed violent Mr. Yuan didn't feel it at all. He was still gratified that his lover had made an excellent friend. , people in the Jianghu are extremely afraid of him, but I didn't expect him to treat you very well. It seems that he is a friend worth entrusting. It doesn't matter if you didn't know about this before. Now that you know this, you will repay him in the future. Don't let him down killed him."

Yuan Xiaolan nodded absent-mindedly, thanked all the old gentlemen for their help and praise, and sent the teacher to the car.The car drove away, and the surroundings became quiet, even Xiaodie, who used to be chattering, stopped talking.At this moment, a light snow fell in the sky suddenly, and the wind blew up. Yuan Xiaolan took off her gloves, stretched out her hand to hold a snowflake, it melted in the warm palm, and it was slightly cool.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see someone.

As if feeling something, a thick overcoat covered his shoulders from behind. Yuan Xiaolan suddenly turned her head and found that the person she wanted to see was behind her. Xue, looking at him at this moment, felt embarrassed, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I'll take you home."

Yuan Xiaolan's eyes suddenly turned red. Although he sang a lot of bitter scenes, he didn't like to cry very much.In his whole life, when he was young, he lived by people's faces and was in a difficult situation, but when he was a teenager, he was happy and happy, and the only time he couldn't stop crying was when he questioned Chen Jingyou.But now, looking at the man in front of him, he suddenly felt wronged.

Seeing him crying, Lu Yuduo was in a state of chaos, his composure completely collapsed, he was at a loss, and subconsciously held him in his arms and patted him gently, "What's wrong, who made you angry, don't be sad, tell me, okay?" I ruined his whole family.

"Lu Yuduo, do you want me?"

The people around were guarded by Lu Yuduo, even Liu Xiaodie was not in the way, and it was snowing, so the world was very quiet, so this low question became very clear.In an instant, Lu Yuduo felt as if he had been tapped by Yuan Daxia, the top martial arts expert, and his movements completely stopped. He just stared blankly at the person in his arms. He really suspected that he had heard wrong just now, or I'm dreaming, a dream I don't want to wake up from.

However, he obviously didn't know that dreams could be more beautiful.Yuan Xiaolan saw that Lu Liuye, who was usually able to stop Fengtian's children crying at night, suddenly became so stupid, and the heart that was beating rapidly in his chest to fight everything calmed down a little. He sucked his nose and repeated: "Lu Yu Duo, if you want me to..."

"No ifs!" Lu Yuduo, who had successfully solved the acupoint, interrupted him hastily, and he repeated clumsily, "No ifs, I want you, and I only want you!"

The corners of the young man's eyes were red, his lips were slightly parted, and he looked at him shyly and dependently, the thread in Lu Yuduo's mind suddenly broke——

The domineering sixth master finally came online at this moment, he leaned over, embraced him forcefully and kissed him, the coat that was originally draped over Yuan Xiaolan's shoulders was lifted off, covering his head, separating the space between the two of them into another A beautiful world.

The soldiers not far away——

"The Sixth Master finally got the hang of it. When chasing a wife, you have to be thick-skinned. If you hug him, you are a real man! It seems that we can drink the Sixth Master's wedding wine tonight."

"Secretly guarding him for several years is of any use? They don't know!"

"So I have to thank Mr. Yuan Lao..."

"I also want to thank that person surnamed Chen, who didn't cherish people well, and it was a waste of money, Mr. Liu hehehe!"

"What does it mean to be cheap, Mr. Liu! Can't speak! He was originally Mr. Liu, but he was snatched away by that surnamed Chen halfway. Now he is returned to the original owner!"

----------------

The next day, the newspapers in the streets and alleys of Beijing are full of reports about this palace banquet. Don’t underestimate the power of the tabloid reporters at the foot of the imperial city, whether it’s the guests at the banquet, the food and wine that conquered everyone, or Liyuan Lan. Houyuan Xiaolan joined hands with Mr. Yuanfeng to perform the new version of "Mu Kezhai", and even the stunning beauty who appeared next to Fengtian Jiang Kun was picked up by the reporters. The news that the Japanese people were moved on the border was suppressed.

The Fenglaiju Hotel in the eastern suburbs of the capital became very popular before it even opened, and became a favorite among the upper class and even the common people.And those gentlemen who sent people to order wine after returning home knew how much sought after and in short supply this immortal wine was, and it was almost hard to find.Just tasted the best wine in the world, but was told, want to drink again?Wait, then.But this is the practice of ordinary people. The powerful and powerful are greedy, and it is not a new thing to find a relationship to buy wine through the back door.

Needless to say, things are rare and expensive, although this wine is rare, but these bigwigs who usually want wind and rain are happy with it, and even faintly proud of drinking this wine, in Lin Weirui's view, It is a virtue to drink Moutai with the high-level executives in the 90s.

Also profiting is Yuan Xiaolan, who was well-known in the theater circle. Knowing that he has not signed contracts with other theater troupes, the major theaters in Shanghai and Tianjin handed over olive branches one after another, and offered sky-high prices one after another. Invite this famous Buddha to his own temple, sing for three days and three nights, and become famous all over the country.But before the letter arrived, the person was abducted.Knowing who the abductor is, the bosses, you look at me, I look at you, all of them hurried to the lair, and it's okay to mess with Lu Liuye!
