Chapter 81 Ghost Show
On the first day of the lunar month, there was no wind, and it was so quiet outside that even the birds and animals huddled in their nests and became silent.
Lin Buxifan got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. He felt a chill on his back and the hairs on his hair exploded. He turned around suddenly, but saw nothing. He didn't dare to stay outside any longer. He went back to the house like an arrow and buried his head in the urinal.
Under the covers.
"Did you hear that too?"
The thin voice of Zhao Adi next to him reached his ears, and Lin Buxifan could feel that he was also trembling.
"What did you hear?"
"A ghost show, someone is singing a ghost show."
"Ghost show?"
When Lin Buxifan lifted the quilt, he was not afraid that he was singing an opera. The operas were all performed by people, not real ghosts.
"What are you singing?"
He became curious, after all, he had seen and heard nothing just now.
"It looks like "The Pavilion of Red Plum Blossoms"," Wang Xiaoqing, who was sleeping on the other side of Lin Buxifan, couldn't help but say, "It's the part where Li Huiniang throws herself into a lake and turns into a ghost."
Lin Buxifan had goosebumps all over his body, and he bared his teeth and said, "How do you know?"
Wang Xiaoqing couldn't help but lean closer to Lin Buxifan, trembling when he spoke.
"The day before yesterday, I went to the toilet at night and saw with my own eyes that a white shadow disappeared in a flash, leaving only a few lyrics floating in the air. I was so scared that I didn't urinate at night for three days in a row."
Before Wang Xiaoqing finished speaking, the tragic and tragic tone reached the ears of the three of them.
"The three souls faintly left the body, and the seven souls went to the underworld leisurely! An unjust complaint was made in front of the Lord of Hell..."
The voice was so clear and shrill that it seemed to appear in the ears of the three of them.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! There is a ghost! It's haunted!!!"
The three of them jumped off the kang like frightened birds, directly waking up the children who had already woken up, and the house immediately became a mess.
Song Youzhen happened to be busy today, so it was Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen's turn to stay on duty.
The two of them rushed over quickly and saw the students running around the room with their shirtless bodies wrapped in quilts, especially his disciple Lin Buxifan who screamed the most. He got angry and had a bad temper and ran away instantly.
Got up.
"You little bastards! If you stay up in the middle of the night, you don't want to go on stage tomorrow, right? If you don't go back and sleep well for a few days, get out and practice more!"
While he was talking, he had already stepped forward and pinched Lin Buxifan's ears, and carried him onto the kang.
Lin Buxifan had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, and had developed a pair of ears that could resist being teased. He broke away from his master a few times and said harshly: "It's really not our fault, Master. There is a ghost! This yard is haunted, Master!"
"Ghost? I think you look like that ghost! If you don't sleep well, I won't whip you!"
Su Yunqing didn't believe it at all, but Lin Buxifan felt aggrieved for a while.
"Everything I said is true! If you don't believe it, ask Adi and Xiaoqing, they all heard it!"
Su Yunqing looked at the two people, both of them nodded, but how could he believe it?
"Xiaofu, tell me, are what they said true?"
Ye Xisheng got married to Xiao Yonghua's only daughter the year before last. Now she has moved back to the Ye family and no longer lives in the theater. Several senior brothers have collapsed and can no longer sing. Now there is a new executioner brother in the theater, a man named Zhang Xikui.
's children.
But Su Yunqing liked that Tan Xiaofu was now famous, so she just let him speak at this time.
Tan Xiaofu actually had something on his mind, but he didn't want to say it. He simply lied and said that he was sleeping deeply and didn't hear anything.
Finally, Zhang Xikui stood up and said: "I did hear someone singing a ghost show, but it should be someone causing trouble, not a ghost."
"Singing a ghost show?"
Su Yunqing snorted lightly and immediately came to a conclusion.
"All the children in the theater troupe live here. If someone is really causing trouble, who else could it be besides her?"
With that said, he immediately called Zhang Xikui and Lin Buxifan and went straight to the house where Xibao lived alone.
Song Qiwen felt that something was wrong and advised him as he walked: "Yunqing, wouldn't it be too reckless to go directly to Xibao? After all, apart from Xibao, Xijun also lives alone. Why don't you doubt him?"
Although Ye Rongzhen explained Mei Zilan's identity to everyone last time, and the students were happy to accept Mei Zilan, Mei Zilan himself had some celiac disease, and he himself couldn't stand living in groups.
Therefore, Ye Rongzhen still asked him to live with him, so that he would practice Qigong from early in the morning to late at night without disturbing other students.
Su Yunqing said without thinking: "Nonsense! Xijun is such an honest boy, how could he have such bad thoughts? Besides, he lives with the president, if there is any trouble, does the president not know about it?"
The implication is that Xibao is restless and someone who can do such a thing.
Lin Buxifan felt a little aggrieved for Xibao and said subconsciously: "But President Ye took Team Leader Xiao Song and several senior brothers to sing together tonight. There is no one else in Xijun's room."
Su Yunqing handed over the knife and gritted his teeth and said: "How can you interrupt when I'm talking to my teacher? Hurry up and catch that girl in her act, otherwise the day lily will get cold!"
Several people came to Xibao Gate in a hurry and turned off the lights.
Song Qiwen continued to persuade: "Should we wait until Youzhen comes back? Xibao is a girl after all. It's not appropriate for us to do this so late at night."
"What's inappropriate? She is allowed to do such scandalous things, but we are not allowed to clean up the troupe and act according to the rules?"
Su Yunqing went up and knocked on the door in person without saying a word.
"You damn girl, stop hiding! Come out and admit your mistake before I get angry, so that we can be punished lightly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
After calling for a long time, no one answered, and even Song Qiwen began to wonder, "Xibao is the most diligent in practicing. Don't go anywhere else to practice. If you're not there, I think we should go back first and wait until Youzhen comes back."
"snort!"
Su Yunqing was even more proud, "If she is really not inside, doesn't it mean that she was responsible for the ghost show? Today I have to make her show her true form!"
As he spoke, he pushed open Xibao's door and barged in.
Unexpectedly, a lamp was suddenly lit inside, and then there was a sound of footsteps. Xibao opened the door from the inside and took a candle in his hand to shine outside. I don't know if it was intentional or not. It almost burned Su Yunqing before he could take it back.
Go sleeves.
"I'm going to die! I don't even look at anyone when I shine!"
Su Yunqing quickly retreated to avoid the fire, and Xibao just happened to see the person coming.
"Team leader Su? Team leader Da Song? Senior brother Zhang?"
Xibao said, and looked behind them again. He did not count the heads again, but asked without knowing why, "Why are you here at this hour?"
Everyone looked at Xibao's body carefully.
Although he was wearing a long gown, his underwear and trousers were still exposed, and the shoes on his feet were stepped on in a hurry, and he had not even had time to put on his socks.
Looking at her face again, all the makeup and powder had been washed away, and she looked a little sleepy. It looked like she had fallen asleep for a while and was suddenly woken up by several people knocking on the door.
Song Qiwen saw something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Su Yunqing and said: "Forget it, Yunqing, I think it's a misunderstanding. I'd better go back to the children and ask for clarification."
Su Yunqing threw him away and took the time to take a look at Xibao House. Unfortunately, the candlelight was dim and he couldn't see anything clearly.
This time it was Xibao who was unhappy, so she simply put out the candles and closed the door behind her.
"Bantou Su couldn't help but bring so many people to break into the house of a girl of mine late at night. What's the point of forcing their way in now? Even my master has never entered my house!"
There is another version of "Hongmei Pavilion" called "Li Huiniang", which is a classic play of the Xun School.
It tells the story of Sidao, a powerful traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty who retired from his job and went home. He wanted to take a concubine, so he ordered Liao Yingzhong, the prefect of Hangzhou, to interview him on his behalf.
Li Huiniang has an outstanding appearance and has been married to the scholar Pei Shunqing, but has not yet passed the exam.
Ying Zhongqiang recommended Huiniang to Jia's house. Huiniang was depressed all day long and missed Pei Sheng.
One day, Huiniang accompanied Jia Sidao to visit the West Lake. They met Pei Sheng by chance, and received a poem and presented him with a handkerchief. The boy saw the incident, and in return, Sidao planned to put Huiniang to death. After hearing this, Huiniang committed suicide.
Shi Dao also lured Shun Qing into the palace and imprisoned him in the study. The ghost of Hui Niang met him at night. Shi Dao sent his slave Miao Yun to kill Pei Sheng. Hui Niang's soul entered the netherworld and complained about her injustice. Lord Yan took pity on her innocence and gave her yin and yang.
The precious fan was used to save Pei Sheng from danger. The story of Queen Hui’s return to the sun and resurrection.
There are many versions that can be seen now, but most of them are derived and adapted from Teacher Li Yuru’s video in 1960. What’s amazing is that Teacher Li Yuru studied under Cheng Yanqiu and is considered a successor of the Cheng School.
The earlier version starring Mr. Xun Huisheng is already very rare to see.
