Chapter 227(1/3)
: Lantern Festival, Xiangling carries her concubine
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lantern Festival.
Feng's mansion is full of joy, and all the yards are full of beautiful lights.
Feng Yibo had already ordered someone to set up the stage and specially ordered several Kunqu operas.
The show was ready, and a few more tables were placed.
Li Meng brought Baochai and You Lao'an's table.
Miaoyu and the Youshi sisters are at a table.
The other servants with good looks, such as Aunt Meng, the maids in each room, etc.
They all have their own seats.
The whole family gathered to have a drink and listen to the opera.
Very comfortable.
In the past few days, many Li Shouzhong's subordinates are about to break through the threshold.
The New Year gifts were given to fill the warehouses of the old couple's courtyard.
Li Shouzhong and Feng Yibo were also tired of entertaining, and they ate one New Year's wine one after another.
Today's festival, the two of you are just off.
They didn't come to listen to the opera with the girls.
They won't be uncomfortable.
The father and the other two were just talking in the study and talking about poetry and knowledge.
Use this to cultivate one's body and mind.
On the stage, I just finished singing the first-hand "The Story of the White Snake".
What we are singing now is "Listening to the Piano".
What a silly is exactly what happened in "South West Chamber".
It is interesting to say that men do not read "Water Margin" and women do not read "West Chamber".
Both books are classified by the Confucian school as robbers and stolen things.
Especially "The West Chamber", it has always been a forbidden book in ancient boudoirs.
But when listening to the opera, the song "The West Chamber" is suitable for both young and old, and there is no need to pay attention to it.
Even after being adapted, there are few details of "lewdness" in the opera.
But the plot direction is generally the same.
The core contained in it is nothing more than praising love.
It is inevitable that people feel a bit double-standard.
At this time, all the girls were all immersed in their ears.
Li Mengshi and You both smiled and narrowed their eyes, obviously immersed in the song.
A look of taste.
Baochai also smiled, but her mind was not on the play.
Instead, he observed everyone calmly.
I saw Miaoyu had no sorrow or joy, and it seemed that everything had nothing to do with her.
The feelings between Zhang Sheng and Yingying could not touch her at all.
You Erjie'er was shy and timid, and seemed very nervous.
It can be seen that this is a scene that is being sweated for the two on the stage.
You Sanjie'er's lips were slightly pursed, and she seemed a little annoyed.
Maybe he looked down on Yingying and looked worthless.
Going further to the other side, all the girls in each room were immersed in it.
Even Xiangling, who was a little dazed in the past, had a little confused eyes at this moment.
I don't know if I thought of something.
Seeing Xiangling, Baochai's heart moved slightly.
But seeing Li Meng's eyes squint, she didn't rush to disturb her.
At this moment, the play was finished.
Li Meng opened her eyes and commented with a smile:
"This kind of accent that looks authentic, is it from Jiangnan?"
My grandmother You also had the same expression and nodded and echoed:
"I can't help it, it's because the old man has put some effort into it."
Although everyone here is not an expert in Kunqu opera, they all come from Jiangnan.
Listening to the local accent, it also makes a different taste.
When Li Meng heard Mrs. You said, she immediately smiled:
"Yibo's child is pure filial piety. I know that we women don't have much ink, so it's the most comfortable to listen to some plays."
"reward!"
Seeing that Li Meng was smiling happily, Baochai said the word "reward".
There were servants who had already put a few scoops in front of them and were waiting aside.
I heard that I wanted to give it to you, one of them carried a basket of copper coins and went up to the stage and said:
"Old lady, madam, Lao An, I reward you for buying fruits!"
As he said that, he threw the money on the stage.
I only heard the "ding ding dangdang" and the money was ringing all over the platform.
"Thank you for the reward of the old lady!"
"Thank you for your reward, my wife!"
"Thank you Lao An for the reward!"
People in the opera troupe know the rules when they travel around the world.
While holding the money, I smiled and thanked me one by one.
Li Meng smiled and said to Baochai:
"You asked Lao Anren and I to order it first. Now that both plays have been sung, you should order what you like."
Although Baochai respects the elderly, she is the hostess of the Feng family after all.
If she doesn't order, it will be better for others.
At that moment, Baochai smiled and said:
"I see that the old lady is happy, so why not click "Fat Aunt Learns Tongue" again."
"Pang Gu Learns Tongue" is a one-fold change in "Journey to the West".
This "Journey to the West" is not the book that learned the scriptures, but the "Journey to the West" in "Four Travels".
This turn is not a martial arts drama to fight the fairy, but a lively comedy.
When Li Meng heard this, he naturally knew that Baochai wanted to follow her wishes.
He shook his head and said angrily:
"This child is thoughtful and thoughtful, but he doesn't have to always think about it. He must order what you like."
Baochai felt a little warm when she heard this, but she still smiled and said:
"When the old lady said, I am still young and don't understand opera. I think I can listen to opera in my family, but I just listen to the excitement, and then I just click the atmosphere casually. If I want to think of something I like, it will be true for a while.
Can't think of anything."
"You!"
Seeing her like this, Li Meng had to give up.
At this time, Baochai looked at the table in the concubine again and said:
"You guys should order a discount each."
Miaoyu doesn’t like these, so she shakes her head and doesn’t light up.
You Erjie ordered a discount on "Piano Pick", which comes from "The Jade Hairpin".
