On the Grass in the Lili Garden [Peking Opera]

This year the Provincial Court has performed many out-of-town performances, one of which was in Jiangnan, Qian Ying's hometown.The promotional posters were put up in the performance theater early on. Of course, Qian Ying, who often performed Yue opera there, was not blind. She immediately called the provincial court to find Lin Weiran.

"I will definitely go to your show! On Saturday, May 26th, I have a show in the evening. Come and see me, and come find me backstage." Qian Ying sent out an invitation.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Weiran envied Qian Ying.They are all elementary school students, Qian Ying is the leading role in their troupe, and the task of acting is very heavy.As for myself, although he is also busy, he is mostly a supporting role.It was not easy to rehearse "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", but because of the current poor Peking Opera market, it is not possible to perform frequently.

This time I went to Jiangnan, Lin Weiran had two supporting roles, which were quite important roles.Fortunately, it wasn't a complete set, otherwise Qian Ying would be very embarrassed to watch the performance.It's not that Lin Weiran despises extras, but, who doesn't want their friends to come to a play, and he is the leading role.

In May, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and suitable. Because of the rain, it is not as hot as the provincial capital.Lin Weiran had never been to Jiangnan before, and He Jingxue's special performance was not arranged in Jiangnan the year before last.

Perhaps it was because the cultural center staff who were in charge of receiving them specially picked a beautiful route, or maybe it was because the south of the Yangtze River is full of beautiful scenery, Lin Weiran only saw clusters of flowers, green willows and blue waves along the way, which made people's hearts flutter.As a result, after inquiring, it was just an ordinary street park with little reputation.

Sure enough, as rumored, there are many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and women with beautiful facial features and slender figures can be seen on the streets from time to time.Qian Ying, a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, is so bright and handsome.If she also put on a cheongsam and held a silk folding fan like a passerby, I don't know what kind of scenery it will be.

After lunch, Lin Weiran and Chen Huan rested in the room.Chen Huan's old fried dough stick partner Zhao Jun lives in the same room with others, in order to spend more time on the lines.

"I said, is there anything to eat?" Chen Huan lay on the bed and hummed.

"Didn't I just eat it!" Lin Weiran despised.

"Tell yourself, which of the plates here is bigger than the palm of my hand? Just put three pocket pumpkin pies on one plate, grandpa and I will starve to death!" Chen Huanzheng has never eaten enough in the past few days .

Lin Weiran laughed, took out a bag of biscuits from her bag and threw it over.Indeed, the mountains and people in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, and the tableware is also beautiful.The tableware is not big, but according to the content of the ingredients, some orchid cherries are placed on the side. It looks good, but the serving size is not large.

Chen Huan gnawed on the biscuits while reading an English book.After returning from performing in France, he seemed to be a different person, holding a book of English vocabulary at any time, and even went to the university to find a teacher to teach him.

Seeing Chen Huan's enthusiasm for reading, Lin Weiran snatched his book.In addition to reciting vocabulary, he is also learning grammar recently, and the teacher is Reiko.Didn't Shen Qintian say that if you want to take him to the United States, regardless of whether it's for marriage or travel, it's always right to learn some English.He didn't want to call himself Sao Rui like Sun Rui did.

Opening his mouth wide to read, Lin Weiran found that he couldn't understand a few words in the whole text.

"Master Huan, you don't speak English!" Lin Weiran peeled off the paper wrapping the book and took a look, okay, three hundred sentences in French.Lin Weiran understood immediately. He heard that Chen Huan was chased by a woman in France, and she would send flowers to every performance.It seems that he himself is also interested!

Halfway through the torture on the tiger bench, Chen Huan recruited. Not only were they interested in each other, they were even talking about marriage.

"How do you communicate?" Just relying on your few sentences of introductory French?Lin Weiran couldn't figure it out, what appeared in his mind was the ancient and modern myths of himself and Shen Qintian.

"She asked foreign students to help her write letters, and she is also learning Chinese. She will come to China this year to meet my family. If my parents agree, then," Chen Huan paused, "then I plan to resign next year."

"why!"

"I have a badass face, and my stage career is very short. I basically lost my energy when I was in my thirties. I have long wanted to change careers. Last time in France, she said that she likes Chinese food very much. As for me, I am a foodie and like to cook, so We discussed opening a Chinese restaurant in France."

Lin Weiran stopped talking.Indeed, Wu Hualian's physical exertion is very high, and his career as an actor is short.Chen Huan is 28 this year, so it's time to make plans.

"Okay, then I hope that when the theater goes to perform in Europe next time, you will already be the owner of the restaurant!" Lin Weiran raised his fist and touched Chen Huan.Thinking about it, this is really good news. Chen Huan was once dumped by his girlfriend who hated the poor and loved the rich, and now he has a cross-border relationship, which is a good thing.

It seems that recently the boys in the provincial court have met peach blossoms, and the good things are not limited to Chen Huan.

Arriving at the entrance of the theater where Qian Ying was performing, Lin Weiran was shocked: There was nearly an hour before leaving the venue, and many spectators had already entered the venue one after another. Although most of them were middle-aged and elderly women, there were many young women who accompanied their elders. There are still people at the ticket window asking about the remaining seats in the field.This sales market seems to be better than Peking Opera.

He went around to the back door and walked backstage, just in time to meet Qian Ying who came out to wait for him.Because mobile phones were not popular at that time, it was inconvenient to contact her, so Qian Ying came out to wait for him in 10 minutes, and finally she did.

Classmate friendship, separated for several months, the two were very happy after meeting.

Qian Ying had already tied her head and finished applying primer on her face.She happily thumped Lin Weiran's shoulder, took his arm again, turned and walked inside.Today's starring actors are all young actors who have won awards at this Shaoxing Opera Festival, and Qian Ying is one of them.

Qian Ying asked Lin Weiran to wait for her, and she asked the group leader to get the ticket.She left Lin Weiran a ticket with a good seat.

Just now everyone saw that Lin Weiran was brought in by Qian Ying, and some actors also greeted him from time to time.But Lin Weiran still consciously stayed in the corner, not disturbing others.We are all actors, understanding and respect among peers is necessary.

"Are you Xiaoying's friend?" The person who spoke seemed to be an old student. He had already put on his beard, but it was only when he opened his mouth that he realized that it was a young woman.

"I'm her classmate in the Beijing Kunqu opera class." It's not that there are no old female students in Peking Opera, but Lin Weiran has never cooperated with old female students. At this moment, he thinks it's interesting for a person dressed as an old man to make a girl's voice.

"Yo, my colleagues, hello." The female old man nodded at him and continued to comb her beard.

Lin Weiran saw a piece of white cloth hanging on the clothes rack next to him, he picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was about one foot wide and three to four meters long.What is this, I have never seen this thing in the dressing room of the provincial hospital.Lin Weiran was wondering what the long sleeves were, but they were not, when she saw an actress walking up and snatching the white cloth away, with reproaches and smiles in her eyes.

The laughter of other actresses came to his ears, Lin Weiran thought about it carefully, his face flushed instantly, he was at a loss in embarrassment, and stood there for a while wiping his hands on his pants, who knew that the laughter around him became even louder.

Lin Weiran was very embarrassed, why didn't he think that this is for girls to wrap their breasts!I still hold it in my hand and watch it for a long time!Terrible!

"Hey, I'm calling you, Kunqu opera classmate, you're here to see our Xiaoying! There are so many people who like her, so we have to keep an eye on her!"

"Have you bought flowers? You can put a piece of chocolate in it, she likes it the most!"

"Take her to have a midnight snack after the performance. The grilled oysters at the food stall opposite the theater are the best. We will definitely not follow you and peek at you!"

In the backstage, apart from the band master, almost all the actors were women, laughing and laughing, Lin Weiran was very embarrassed, he couldn't stand anywhere to talk, and he couldn't if he didn't talk, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

Finally, Qian Ying appeared and gave Lin Weiran the ticket.Then push him and let him go out to play, and stop being bullied by these bad guys.It seems that she also heard what she said before.

Fifteen seats in five rows.Lin Weiran looked at the ticket and found that this seat is good.The former mother looked up and tired her neck, and the queen mother couldn't see the actor's face clearly.There is no ticket price printed, only the word "special invitation" is written, which seems to be an internal reservation.There are more than 40 minutes before leaving the field, and he is going to take a seat again later.This seat is in the middle, and it is annoying to go in and out after sitting down, so it's better to go there later.

Lin Weiran didn't know that Qian Ying reserved this seat for him, but there was actually a deeper meaning behind it.

At that time, Shen Qintian was in Beijing when he heard Qian Ying call Lin Weiran in that voice, and he was very angry. After attending Sun Rui's wedding and leaving the provincial capital, he and his classmates continued to go to Jiangnan to do market research. Their trip was not only a destination in Beijing.Don't forget, Shen's father and Shen's mother have a business in the coastal area.So they received their son and classmates well, cared about eating, drinking and driving them to visit the company.

Shen Qintian went to several theater troupes around to inquire, and finally asked.The concierge of the Youth Yue Opera Troupe regarded him as a theater fan, and enthusiastically told him that Qian Ying had performed in a certain theater these few nights.

I want to see who dares to buy candied haws for Xiao Linlin to eat!Dashuai Shen rushed straight to the theater.

Yes, he was going to demonstrate.But he is also an actor, Shen Qintian will definitely not make a scene and affect the performance.He wanted to single out Qian Ying, not interfere with the audience.What should be done to maximize the effect, Shen Dashuai bowed his head outside the ticket window and pondered.

This theater has a long-standing reputation in the local area, and the Cultural Hall has specially allocated funds to renovate it. The floor tiles are very distinctive, and various geometric figures are superimposed, which is quite modern.

Shen Qintian jumped from a trapezoid to the adjacent triangle, and then jumped to the next circle.It was like playing a child's hopscotch game, and the female conductor at the box office covered her mouth and laughed.

Have!Shen Qintian, who was stepping on the center of the circle, raised his head and met the conductor's eyes, startling him, thinking that his mind had been seen through.

"Hi, I'll buy the ticket." Shen Qintian took out his wallet.

There is also a photo in his wallet, it is golden, it is not the group photo of four people in Lin Weiran's wallet, it is a group photo of him and Lin Weiran renting a dragon robe when they were traveling in the Summer Palace in Beijing a few months ago.

Originally, the costume manager said that if they were willing to leave a photo as an advertisement, they would not charge them money. I have never seen the emperor and the emperor take a photo together. The key is that he is so handsome!But Shen Qintian resolutely refused, preferring to pay.

After walking away, he said to Lin Weiran that if he wanted to invite Zhen and Zitong to attract customers, there was no way!

Lin Weiran laughed, pinched his face, and went to the canteen to buy ice cream.Seeing that Xiao Linlin did not refute, Dashuai Shen felt relieved: He admitted that he is the queen!hey hey hey hey~~~

Qian Ying was not the main character in the performance that day, it was just a supporting role.When she came on stage, she saw that there was an empty circle in the auditorium. The seat in the middle of the fifth row, that is, the fifth row and fifteen seats, was occupied. people.

It's normal for theaters to be dissatisfied, but it's rare to see such symmetrical empty seats.Qian Ying didn't care.

It turned out that it was still like this on the second and third day, which is a bit too coincidental.Especially the performance on the third day was a weekend show, the ticket sales situation was quite good, and the surrounding seats were full of people, but the seats in the middle were still empty.

Some colleagues in the group joked that it must be someone's suitor. In order to attract the idol's attention, they bought so many tickets on purpose and let themselves be the center of attention.From a distance, the audience is a man.

This is half correct, Shen Qintian wanted to attract Qian Ying's attention, not only not to be a suitor, but to warn her that someone has a suitor.

After the last performance, Shen Qintian came to the stage to present flowers.It's normal for movie fans to present flowers, but this movie fan went straight to the supporting role Qian Ying on stage, and the protagonist expressed a little surprise.Moreover, his eyes were provocative, and he stared at Qian Ying without saying a word.

After thinking about it, Qian Yingsi only felt that she had seen this flower presenter with outstanding facial features, even better than Lin Weiran.It wasn't until many days later, when she learned that Lin Weiran and his group were coming to perform, that she instantly remembered that the flower presenter was from the photo in Lin Weiran's wallet.

She immediately recalled that during the discussion, Lin Weiran said that the beauty of Liang Zhu lies in the fact that there are two small students on the stage at the same time, not once in a lifetime.

Is it? !

Qian Ying stood in front of the window for a long time before she came to her senses.

After returning from Beijing, although she was sad but still determined, she asked someone to inquire about Lin Weiran's stunning actress in the Peking Opera.The answer I got was that the most beautiful one was a teacher at an opera school and was about to get married.

Lin Weiran is getting married?Shocked, Qian Ying inquired about the details of this beautiful actress, and the answer was Wu Dan, who had won a national silver award a few years ago and was good at playing Sun Erniang and other short combat plays.Her fiancé is Wu Sheng, and they often act together.

Then it's on point.Lin Weiran said that that photo was taken after he participated in "Wu Song".No wonder three of them wore makeup in the photo and one didn't.Without makeup, this is a flower presenter.

It turns out... In this way, I am not as bad as I imagined, because he doesn't like women, not because I am too bad?Maybe.Qian Ying smiled, and wiped the thin floating dust on the edge of the frame of the graduation photo of the Kunqu opera training class with her hand.
