"The first turning of the ice wheel on the island"

"See the Jade Rabbit, the Jade Rabbit rises to the east again early"

"The ice wheel is off the island"

"The universe is extremely clear"

…

Tong Huimei was dressed in white and stood in the center of the flower hall, as beautiful as when Li Xuewu saw her.

It was also in this mansion and in this flower hall that the two met for the first time. As time goes by, things change and people change.

But the folk art is still the same, but Li Xuewu's skills are much higher.

When Ding Wanqiu insisted on dragging him to appreciate this elegant quintessence of Chinese art, he naturally laughed at it because he had no taste.

Yu Shifu's disciple, Tong Huimei's senior brother, and Mr. Zhu's son Shubao, sang the song "Silang Visits His Mother" so well that Li Xuewu couldn't tell which princess and consort he was singing.

Listening to Tong Huimei's "The Drunken Concubine" today is still foggy, but I feel that today Tong Huimei has the tenderness, euphemism and sadness of Yang Guifei.

Mai's father and Mai's mother, who were sitting nearby, looked at each other and saw surprise and excitement in each other's eyes.

When the song ended, there was no applause, no cheers, and no comments or rewards.

When the dream comes back to reality, this is still the deep mansion courtyard, in front of the flower hall.

Tong Huimei's bright eyes were gentle and her eyes were flowing, as if the imperial concubine was still drunk, and she looked forward with a smile.

When Jiaojiao handed the tea to her, Tong Huimei woke up, smiled slightly, blessed herself with the two teachers Mai, and then took the tea from her sister.

The breeze is gentle and the rain is drizzling, and the autumn sadness is lingering. The flower hall is the place where guests used to meet, and it was also the location of the old singing hall.

The window lattice is stuck with glass, which is hot inside and cold outside, and there is already fog on it.

The rainwater dripping from the eaves seems to be flowing through everyone's hearts, with a trace of ripples.

Father Mai glanced at Li Xuewu and said softly: "Just ask Miss Jin to sing a section."

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at Jin Jiaojiao, and signaled that she was ready to play.

Tong Huimei sat next to Li Xuewu, watching her sister walk in front of everyone, and gave her an encouraging smile.

Jin Jiaojiao also smiled slightly, glanced at her sister, and spoke:

"Being entangled suddenly reminded me of the scene when I was married. I had a few moments of tenderness back then."

"I will not avoid arranging quilts and embroidered pillows. I won't let him spend a moment of his precious spring night."

…

Li Xuewu has listened to it a lot, and Jin Jiaojiao always sings it at home.

"Chun Gui Meng" learned the singing style that their master got from Mr. Mei's Gaozu Yanqiu School. He is a young man with big ambitions, and he wants to learn all his skills in this school.

There are so many key points. If you imitate it more, you will understand the key points.

Li Xuewu's ears couldn't tolerate such elegant food, but the sounds of the play between the bed made him very intoxicated.

You have to say that he understands, what Tong Huimei sings is the same as what Jin Jiaojiao sings now, and he just thinks it's better than before.

But if you want him to confirm whether it is really better, or how much better, how can he understand this?

Maybe it’s because I love the house and the bird, and I’m just thinking about it.

However, judging from the facial expressions of the three Mai family members, their skills still have merit.

Jin Jiaojiao finished her song, stepped aside and sat next to Tong Huimei.

He glanced at Teacher Mai nervously, then glanced at Brother Wu and his sister in turn.

Tong Huimei was also worried. She held the little hand handed over by her sister and looked at Teacher Mai together.

"Can I have a stage name?"

These words were asked by Mai's mother after Mai's father looked at her. Since both of them were women and Li Xuewu was here, they had to be cautious about what they said.

Li Xuewu didn't know the difference between the stage names they mentioned and their real names. He had seen the household registration books of the two of them, which was their current names.

Later generations still understand this industry, but it was already a highly developed entertainment industry, and stage names and real names involved many rules and legal issues.

There seems to be no dispute over names at this time, right?

After all, this falls under the rules of patents or brands. Private companies don’t have them, so where do they come from?

Little did he know that there were many hidden rules and stories behind this stage name.

Tong Huimei pulled her sister to stand up together, and said respectfully: "Because I haven't started training yet, the master hasn't given me a name yet."

Mai's mother and Mai's father looked at each other, and then Mai's father looked at Li Xuewu and explained: "I inherited my stage name from my master, and it has a small character. My original name is Maitian."

Li Xuewu nodded clearly and understood what was going on. It meant that now, except for his family members, everyone would call him Mai Xiaotian.

I also call this when I go out to sing or make money, it is a kind of sign.

Maitian signaled to his lover again and said: "My lover is the same, I learned from Xiaotong, my real name is Huilan."

After speaking, he looked at Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao, nodded and said: "We know Teacher Yu, and we also know that he has many disciples, but we didn't expect..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Huimei and Tong Huimei had already lowered their heads.

"A son never speaks of his father's fault"

Tong Huimei took her sister's hand and said in a tone that seemed helpless and resolute: "We sisters have become abandoned disciples. Naturally, we dare not call ourselves masters anymore. We are considered as lonely ghosts."

"Alas~"

Wheatfield sighed leisurely and said: "It's fate and God's will that this will happen to our pear orchard."

After speaking, he nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and said seriously: "We already know the abilities and skills of the two girls. It is a thing of the past to talk about inheriting from the master."

"Now not only Peking Opera, but all the repertoire has entered the Xichuan Xishe, we have also entered the schools, which means it is widely known."

Maitian glanced at his lover first, and then said to Li Xuewu: "If you don't mind, we will try our best to take over the teaching job."

Tong Huimei and Tong Huimei looked at each other with expressions of surprise, especially Teacher Mai's humble attitude, which made their hanging hearts settle.

Although they were extremely happy, the two of them still looked at Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu had to make the decision for them in this matter.

Li Xuewu can bring them here because he naturally hopes that they can have a good learning environment and go further on the road of Peking Opera.

Seeing Li Xuewu nodding, Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao knelt on the ground to kowtow to the Maitian couple.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the traditional apprenticeship etiquette. Unlike Mai Qinglan, the two of them have no school status and still observe the old etiquette.

The meaning of what Mai Tian just said seemed to have the element of teaching in a school. I don’t know how the two of them understood it. Maybe they didn’t understand it, or they just wanted to learn more.

Seeing them like this, Mr. and Mrs. Maitian were a little caught off guard. They stood up and tried to help them, but this was not his original intention.

How could he take care of the people Li Xuewu brought with him? He just wanted to take a step back and have the title of teacher, and they would do their best to teach.

Now Tong Huimei and Tong Kneeling have directly reached the final step and become apprentices who will inherit the mantle. How does this work?

Since entering the new era, they have not accepted any more apprentices, and all they want to do is concentrate on teaching in school.

The status of a husband is always much more respected than that of a husband, one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

The new era brings them not only the current hardships, but also the equality and opportunities to become artists.

Things that were low-class in the past can now enter the house and become guests.

These people are more able to enter the campus and become teachers. Their status suddenly changes, and they gradually have the idea of ​​​​retirement.

Today's suffering is that I am living under someone else's roof and being entrusted by others, but I have no intention of opening the mountain gate again and accepting disciples.

But if you've already knelt down, it's completely different if you help him up again.

Li Xuewu also saw the embarrassment between the two of them, stood up with a smile and said to Maitian: "Uncle, we are all a family, and the skills of you and my aunt need to be passed down."

As he spoke, he gestured to the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "They are also sincerely asking for advice. I think it's the best of both worlds."

"this……"

Mai Tian and his lover looked at each other, then looked at Li Xuewu, and said: "You also know that now... now we don't have much status and fame. This... this is suspected of misleading others."

"If it's not a refusal, please don't be humble."

Li Xuewu said with a sincere face: "Since ancient times, art has been divided into fame and wealth, and masters and disciples have no distinction between high and low. The pain of today may not be the sweetness of tomorrow."

Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Maitian nodded, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, kid."

Mother Mai leaned over and helped the two of them up, without asking them to kowtow any more.

Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao were still a little worried after hearing Master Mai's refusal, but now they smiled again.

Hu Huilan held their hands and looked at their faces carefully, smiled and nodded, then looked at her lover and gave her a confirmation look.

Mai Tian also felt something in his heart. He knew what his wife meant, and he was prepared and confident when he spoke to the two of them.

After all, it was just as they guessed. The two girls in front of them were no longer "girls". No wonder they had such vivid expressions of understanding when they sang those two short verses.

How can a girl sing the euphemism of a woman? This is a natural obstacle. Is it because the girl and the others still can't hear it?

The person was brought here by Li Xuewu, and what he meant in his words was that he was raised by Li Xuewu. Who else could he be if he wasn't Li Xuewu's person?
