Ye Zhenzhen had never heard the name of this troupe when she first came here, but all the ladies and ladies present were excited and full of anticipation, thinking that this troupe was very famous in Mingzhou.
Although Ye Zhenzhen doesn't really like listening to operas, she has to say that singing and listening to operas is very suitable for such a lively occasion. Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing for a group of people to sit together and chat in a dry manner.
So he said: "Mrs. Yang, since we have invited them, let them go on stage to sing a few times, so that I can see the difference between Mingzhou opera and Beijing opera."
Mrs. Yang quickly ordered people to invite the troupe to come on stage.
Mrs. Lu twisted a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Madam, you have to watch it carefully. It's hard to get a ticket for the Yan Qing troupe, especially Xi Niang's high accent."
She is extremely outstanding, and many ladies in Mingzhou are fans of her drama."
Not long after, the actors in costumes appeared on stage, and the opera started. The gongs and drums were beating loudly. Suddenly, a clear voice came out, and a graceful actress made a stunning appearance. The audience burst into cheers instantly. You don’t have to guess.
, this should be the Xi Niang mentioned by the Lu family.
Although Ye Zhenzhen is not keen on listening to opera, she still has a certain level of appreciation. The level of opera at this time has not yet reached the peak of later generations, but each genre has its own unique characteristics, freshness and artistic sense. It is worth calming down and listening to it.
listen.
Ye Zhenzhen gradually immersed herself in it.
This is a very traditional drama about an infatuated woman betraying her husband. Under the superb artistic rendering of the actors, all the ladies and ladies at the table were involved in the play. Many of them burst into tears and wiped their tears with handkerchiefs.
Ye Zhenzhen was bombarded by such plot routines, with only pure appreciation on her face. Compared with the ladies whose eyes were red from crying, she seemed a bit different.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her: "Madam, you are indeed different. Xi Niang's "Yun Niang's Lover" has been widely praised. Every time she performs, she brings a lot of tears. My eyes were swollen from crying when I watched it for the first time.
, and then watched it several times, and now I can barely resist it so as not to be too sentimental. I didn’t expect Madam to be able to remain calm when watching it for the first time, which is really incomparable."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Zhenzhen always felt that this Mr. Lu always had something to say, but his attitude towards her was also very warm, so she couldn't tell for a while whether the other person couldn't speak, or whether he was really insinuating.
Ye Zhenzhen decided to remain unchanged in response to all changes: "Such dramas are really common, regardless of opera performances, they are also mentioned in some novels and miscellaneous books. I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, and I am used to seeing such routines, so I don't care.
What do you think?"
"Oh, Madam, you still like reading?"
"It's just some miscellaneous books that are not elegant enough."
Ye Zhenzhen responded lightly and said nothing more. She quietly watched the performance on the stage. Soon the song ended and the whole hall cheered.
Ye Zhenzhen took the lead in applauding and said: "If you sing well, you will be rewarded."
Yuxiu immediately took the reward money and asked the maids who ran errands to deliver the reward money. The theater troupe immediately sang: "Thank you, Mrs. Ningguo, for the reward of ten taels!"
All the actors in the Yan Qing troupe thanked him on stage.
After Ye Zhenzhen gave the reward, the other ladies also gave rewards one after another, three or four taels or five or six taels, all with silver as the base. They did not dare to outdo Mrs. Ning Guo's limelight - of course, this silver reward was already very high.
, the actors in the Yan Qing troupe were almost bursting with joy, and the voices of thanking each other became louder and louder, and the scene was extremely lively.
In the end, Mrs. Lu unexpectedly rewarded her with ten taels of gold, and at the same time explained to Ye Zhenzhen: "I am an old theater fan of the Yan Qing class. I have been busy in the inner house recently and haven't gone to the theater for a long time. Today I asked Mrs.
Fucai had the opportunity to feast his ears and barely get through the drama, so I took this opportunity to make up for all the missed rewards."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Jin has a kind heart and is an elegant person."
"No, it's just a hobby that can't be put on the stage."
Mrs. Lu covered her mouth and smiled, beckoning for Xi Niang to come down, and said: "Madam, Xi Niang is also good at singing ditties. Let her sing a little tune for you. You can taste it and listen to it.
Listen to how she sings."
This enthusiasm for Amway is very similar to that of the star-chasing girls of later generations.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded very proudly.
Soon, Xi Niang walked down swayingly. Hua Dan's body and expression were all beautiful. She stood aside and bowed again, as graceful and graceful as a blooming peony.
Every movement is beautiful.
The most important thing is that this Xi Niang has an outstanding face. Even under the heavy make-up, her excellent facial features can be seen. It can be seen that she is a great beauty who can always wear light and heavy make-up.
As she walked from the stage to the audience, countless ladies and ladies were eclipsed by her bright light. Her body seemed to have taken away all the light, and she was so gorgeous.
Ye Zhenzhen was used to seeing beauties and loved beauties. She was not displeased by her eyes. Instead, she carefully admired the beauty's grace. It must be said that her eyes were delighted.
She is indeed a womanizer.
Xi Niang is not only beautiful, but also has a very beautiful voice. Her voice is like an oriole's, and her voice is even more charming when she bows to Ying Ying, which makes people's hearts melt.
No wonder Mingzhou is so famous for such a gorgeous beauty.
Ye Zhenzhen's voice softened unconsciously: "Xi Niang, there is no need to be polite. I heard that you are good at singing little songs. Please sing a few songs for us to listen to."
Xi Niang quickly raised her head and took a closer look. Mrs. Ning Guo looked even more elegant and graceful. Her eyes were full of appreciation and curiosity, which was very different from those ladies who pretended to love her even though they clearly hated and despised her.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head: "Thanks to the love of the ladies, I have composed a new song "Sauvignon Blanc", which I haven't sung yet. If the madam doesn't mind it, I will be bold enough to sing it."
"Oh, which song is "Sauvignon Blanc"?" Ye Zhenzhen asked curiously.
Xiniang said: "It's "Sauvignon Blanc" that the magistrate newly composed in Mingzhou last year."
Ye Zhenzhen blushed.
This poem was very familiar to her. It was the love poem Cui Weizhen wrote to her during the disaster relief work in Mingzhou. She thought it was just a private message between the two of them, but she never expected that it would become known to everyone.
It's too shameful to have a love letter written to music and played and sung.
However, before she calmed down, Mrs. Lu next to her suddenly let out a sigh and asked curiously: "I have never heard of Master Cui's new composition "Sauvignon Blanc". How did Xi Niang know about it? It's a pity that we waited.
It’s a good opportunity to appreciate it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over with very subtle expressions.
