Dressed as an actor in the Qing Dynasty

Today, the weather is very good, a piece of clear and transparent, only a few wisps of thin clouds, a pillow of breeze, so clean that it is almost transparent.

The wheels of the carriage were running on the stone road, making a slight sound, the sound was so pure that there was no noise, it was very comfortable to listen to it.

This trip to the businessman's concert, Chunqin Garden hired three carriages back and forth, Su Qingchi and Su Bao'er were sitting in the front carriage, the other carriages in the middle were filled with other actors who sang and played together, and the last one was in the carriage. Pack clothes, helmets, miscellaneous items, and luggage.

After Su Qingchi became a character, he had his own private wardrobe, which he never mixed with others.

Su Qingchi half-closed his eyes, his body swayed slightly, as if he was taking a nap to refresh himself.

Su Baoer lay on the car window, looking around.

In the Qing Dynasty, opera gardens were generally concentrated in the south of the city.

There is an overpass between Zhengyangmen and Yongdingmen. To the east of this overpass is the Temple of Heaven, and to the west is the Temple of Xiannong. Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties passed this overpass every year when they went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices, and many people gathered around the bridge. Vendors form a small bustling market, where folk entertainers and jugglers also gather here.

But the rich merchants and merchants in the capital are in the east of the city.

From the south of the city to the east of the city, one must pass through a flower street and willow alley.

The hutongs in the old Beijing city can be said to be like stars, and the most famous ones in history are probably the "Eight Great Hutongs".

Bada Hutong, also known as "Badabu", is actually a Fengyue Street, where there are many prostitutes, red houses and green houses, dancing fans and singing shirts, and there are clouds of courtesans and prostitutes.

Wherever the carriage passed by, there was smoke and powder, and there were voices beckoning in one's ears.

In front of the window under the eaves by the street, green, fat, red and thin, flocks of warblers and swallows are waving champagne, or scratching their heads to make poses, saying "Master" and "Brother".

The coachman driving the carriage was almost dragged down by those Hongsu hands, the coachman is an honest man, he didn't care about these prostitutes, he just wished he could drive them away with a whip.

Su Baoer was lying on the window of the car. He had never been to Fengyue Street, and Su Qingchi never allowed him to get close to such places, so Su Baoer was very interested in watching, and suddenly stretched out a soft and greasy hand, "Oh, this little brother Son looks really handsome."

It immediately caused a burst of charming laughter.

Su Bao'er was so ashamed that she shrank her head back, "I was scared to death, and I thought I would be pinched off a piece of meat."

Su Qingchi ignored it and only squinted his eyes.

"Brother, these women are so coquettish, they just flirt with men in public, what are they like?"

Su Baoer has been with Su Qingchi for many years, and has seen these incidents of love between men and women. Even if he doesn't know the details, he probably knows about it, but he is still a half-grown child after all. His face was so familiar, he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeves.

"People who sell laughter, if you don't laugh, you can't cry." Su Qingchi's tone was light.

Su Baoer wiped one of her cheeks almost to the point of tearing, looked at the teasing people outside the window, and realized that she was touched by a prostitute, the shame on her face turned into anger, "Hmph, I see they are very happy. "

"Nowadays there are a lot of prostitutes and prostitutes, but there are even more people who play with actors. If one day I lose my innocence and break my innocence, what will happen to you when you treat me as me?" Su Qingchi's words contained no trace of anger, Su Baoer suddenly fell silent.

"They laugh and I sing, what's the difference?" Su Qingchi's mouth twitched, and he opened his eyes to look at Su Bao'er.

Su Baoer remained silent, looked down at her sleeve, and said after a long time, "Brother, I will support you from now on."

Su Qingchi gave him a sideways glance, "It's best to remember it well."

Su Baoer looked up at his brother, and saw that his face was still the same as before, so he hugged his brother's arm and smiled flatteringly.

"Go away, what's the matter with breastfeeding, what are you doing so close." Su Qingchi has always hated being close to people.

"Brother~" Su Baoer hugged Su Qingchi like a kitten, just rubbing against him.

When Su Qingchi saw that Su Baoer was a rascal, he ignored him and continued to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Although most of what he said was to lure Su Baoer's soft spot in his heart, so that he would always remember to support him in the future, but Su Qingchi also knew that if one day he really did what he said, his fate would never be worse than that of Su Baoer. Those whores are good friends.

In the Qing Dynasty, prostitution was banned and dramas were banned, which made the masculinity very popular for a while. They are also flocking to each other.

Therefore, in order to cater to the preferences of the world, this actor in Beijing sings operas during the day and enjoys the prostitution with Lao Dou (prostitute) at night.

Such an atmosphere is really embarrassing.

The carriage slowly passed the rouge powder market, without the harassment of the powder, the surrounding air became extremely fresh.

Su Baoer tugged at Su Qingchi's sleeve and said, "Brother, I heard that the merchant held a birthday party, and Jiangnan Qiu's family also came to celebrate his birthday. It's very grand."

The Qiu family in Su Baoer's mouth is a well-known wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also inextricably linked with the imperial court.

"You don't care what he does." Su Qingchi glanced at him.

"Am I curious? I heard that the three sons of that merchant are all very handsome. They are famous handsome men in the capital. I really want to see them."

"I'm not enough, you see?" Su Qingchi glanced at him, lifted the curtains, and glanced outside, "Here we are."

Su Baoer stuck out her tongue, and when she heard it, she clamored to see it, "I'll see it, I'll see it."

Su Baoer stretched out his head, and sure enough, he saw two mansions of a mansion with stone lions standing at the door not far away. There was a black-bottomed plaque hanging on the door, with two large gold-lacquered characters on it: Shangfu.

The golden nails of the wealthy family and the majestic stone lions are already extraordinary outside the mansion.

After entering the gate, Su Baoer felt his eyes flicker, and almost thought he had entered the Royal Forest Garden, so he took a deep breath, "Mother."

The rolling shed-style ingot ridge is closed with bricks and colored glaze at the hollow part of the mountain flower on the roof, and the mountain flower is decorated with brick carvings, which looks cumbersome and grand.

The kiss made of several pieces of pottery, the animal is vivid and lifelike, which is really amazing.

Passing through layers of flower walls and pavilions, the scene inside is even more staggering.

Marble screen walls, natural stone Ruyi stepping steps, bright pillars carved with lion plinths at bridge railings, and fancy railings with large-scale carved lattices. Such a scene of Danying carvings, not to mention Su Baoer, even Su Qingchi Not surprised.

I'm afraid that the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions" can't compare to such exquisite and gorgeous.

The merchant had its own theater building, and the servants led Su Qingchi and others through the Jiuqu Eighteen Corridors, through the pavilions, and went to the wing room behind the theater building to rest.

The theater building sits facing east and west, with a single eaves rolling roof, and the eaves are light and flying. The roof ridges and railings are decorated with exquisite carvings, which are meticulous and elegant everywhere.There is a corridor in front of the stage, and a green pool behind the gallery. On the pool is a water pavilion with cornices and corners.Behind the stage, there are acting rooms and flower halls.

There are four bright pillars at the corner of the stage, and a low fence around the edge of the stage. There is a caisson on the ceiling, and there are bucket arches between the layers of the caisson, which are exquisitely carved.

At this moment, Su Qingchi was sitting on the stone bench in the Liubiting Pavilion, sipping tea with a fan, with a leisurely demeanor, as if he was the owner of this wonderful scenery.

Su Baoer sat on one side, her eyes never resting, holding the pastel bowl with golden blessings and longevity patterns in her hand, caressing it carefully, but she was reluctant to let it go, "Brother, this bowl alone is enough for us to eat and drink for a year."

Su Qingchi tilted the lid of the cup leisurely, blew on the hot tea, lowered his head and took a sip, then narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

The servant girl served the pastries, then stepped back, and a housekeeper came to greet her shortly afterwards, "Boss Su, I'm sorry, there are too many guests today, and the master is too busy for a while."

"No problem." Su Qingchi waved his hand, "When will the show start?"

"Master said, the play will start on time at Youshi." The housekeeper spoke neither fast nor slow, but did not show a slight slack.

Su Qingchi nodded. After the housekeeper left, he didn't sit for a while, and then went to the acting room.

Su Baoer has always been in charge of makeup. At this time, he gently picked up Su Qingchi's chin with one finger, and carefully painted Su Qingchi's eyebrows.

The headgear for acting is naturally complicated, and Su Qingchi's personal outfit is full of flattery and fawning things for the rich and wealthy. Su Qingchi never liked to carry so many heavy things on his head, and only carried simple accessories with him. Although the box of things was small, everything was exquisite.

The thin pastels gradually covered up Su Qingchi's original appearance, and gradually revealed a different kind of obsequiousness.

Hanging phoenix eyes, thin lips, and delicate contours, even the light color on the face can't hide this picturesque appearance at all.

As naive as Su Bao'er, she couldn't help but have a dry mouth.

The last touch, a little cinnabar between the eyebrows.

This stroke unexpectedly hooked the otherworldly painting Zhongjiao into the mortal world.

Su Baoer and the rest of the acting room took a breath unconsciously, and only then did they realize why so many people spent a lot of money just to make this person laugh.

"Not promising." Su Qingchi rolled his eyes.

Su Bao'er felt even more dizzy and dazed for a long time. After waking up, his brother had long since disappeared. Outside the curtain, flute, sanxian, and pipa were already playing endlessly in his ears, and the sound was sad.

"The spring is full of thousands of flowers, and the scenery of three springs has never been seen before. The jade swallows are circling the Cuixuan, the butterflies are flying and dancing, and the flowers are competing for beauty. The green willows are delicate and tender, leaning against the poolside and blown by the wind, worrying about the changes of the years, Once the glamor melts into smoke, I sigh that the spring is fleeting and I am deeply saddened. Look at the flowers beside the peony pavilion, and wait for me to swing on the east wall to call for the return of spring."

"The spring scenery makes people want to be intoxicated, and they sleep with flowers beside the Peony Pavilion." This sound is like gossamer, euphemistic and delicate, and the listener only feels numb and rippling.

Su Baoer secretly opened a corner of the curtain, only to see a charming girl with a soft figure and affectionate eyebrows dancing gracefully under the peony flowers.

Not to mention Su Bao'er, even the little student who played with Su Qingchi was in a daze, his eyes were frozen.

On the pavilion, there is a cool breeze, and the water surface is crystal clear.

A group of goldfish is surrounding a pavilion, playing in the water and competing for food. On the pavilion, one is sitting and the other is standing, one is blue and the other is gray, and there are two men.

"Eldest young master, the master asked you to go and listen to the opera." The young servant in the gray coat hugged the elegant man in the blue robe.

The man glanced at his forehead with the folding fan in his hand, "Lu Qing, I think it's because you feel itchy in your heart, you want to go to the theater."

"Hey." The servant named Lu Qing scratched his head in embarrassment, "I heard that this time, Boss Su Qingchi from Chunqin Garden was invited. It is said that Boss Su has a handsome appearance and a soft and soft voice. I don't think so. Do you want to go and see this famous showman in the capital?"

The man shook his fan and threw some fish food into the lake, "You know I don't like to listen to operas, you are going, just go by yourself."

Lu Qing looked anxiously at the stage in the distance, then at the man, and finally sighed cruelly, "Young master won't go, and neither will Lu Qing."

The man smiled, the smile disappeared in an instant, he turned around, "What did you call that actor just now?"

"Su Qingchi, Boss Su, he is a well-known actor in the capital, only you, young master, don't know about it." Lu Qing said with a hint of resentment in his tone.

The man said the name silently, then closed his fan suddenly, with a smile on his face, "Let's go and have a look."

"Hey, master." Before Lu Qing could react, the man had already walked away.

Lu Qing scratched his head and couldn't figure out what was going on. He only knew that he could listen to the show, so he quickly followed, "Master."
