1980 My literary era

Lin Weimin stopped in front of the broken bridge. Zhang Qiang was puzzled, but he still stopped.

By the way, if I step forward at this time, will I meet a white snake who has been practicing for thousands of years?

It would be best to give away a house and land, and also help write a novel.

Xu Xian is truly a man’s ultimate dream!

It's not a problem to be reckless, but craftsmen are popular.

After a short errand, Lin Weimin walked onto the broken bridge.

As he was walking, Wu Nong suddenly heard a soft word from behind him.

"Hurry up! It's time for the teacher to tell us if we go back too late."

Before Lin Weimin reached the center of the broken bridge, a young and beautiful figure ran towards him. She had a graceful figure, bright eyes and white teeth, which seemed like a pool of spring water, causing ripples in Lin Weimin's heart.

"Coming!"

The graceful woman who looked like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River said yes to her companion, and ran quickly past Lin Weimin, bringing with her the fragrance of the peach blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River.

As he passed by, the woman had a smile on her face, her eyes intertwined, and her eyes were filled with autumn water.

The dancing figure flashed through Lin Weimin's mind like a giant, and he stood there, stunned for a long time.

"Teacher Lin!" Lin Weimin didn't come back to his senses until he heard Zhang Qiang calling him.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Qiang asked with concern.

Lin Weimin's expression returned to calm, "It's nothing."

While speaking, his eyes inadvertently looked in the direction he came from. The beautiful figure had disappeared from his field of vision, and Lin Weimin felt a little regretful in his heart.

He turned back to look at the high point of the broken bridge. He hadn't reached the center yet, so naturally he couldn't meet the White Snake.

There was quite a sense of waning interest in my heart, "It's not interesting, go back."

After a half-day tour of the West Lake, Lin Weimin treated Zhang Qiang to lunch and then returned to the guest house.

Occasionally, a stunning face flashed through his mind. He had traveled through time in later generations, so he naturally knew this face, but what was she doing at this time?

This miss is not easy to find.

After worrying for a long time, it was useless to think about it. Lin Weimin could only focus on writing temporarily. Even the next day when Zhang Qiang came to him to visit Hangzhou, he was not interested.

After two days of waiting in the guest house, Zhang Qiang came.

"Seeing that you are not in a good mood, I won't go out to play today. How about we go to the theater?"

Zhang Qiang is a conscientious chaperone. The leader of the troupe said that his biggest task in the past half month is to accompany Teacher Lin well.

Taking Teacher Lin to play, doesn't it mean that he is also eating, drinking and having fun? All expenses will be reimbursed by the troupe. Where can I find such a good thing? Zhang Qiang is eager to do so.

"Watching a play? Going to your theater company?"

"No, it's our local Yue opera from Zhijiang."

Lin Weimin only became interested after hearing this, "This is quite good."

Zhang Qiang said happily: "You are a cultural person, I knew you would be interested."

Zhang Qiang took Lin Weimin to the Victory Theater in Hangzhou, and he had already bought the tickets.

Yan|'an Road, where the Victory Theater is located, is one of the busiest commercial streets in Hangzhou today. There are many pedestrians coming and going on the street, and there are also police officers patrolling the road on three-wheeled motorcycles from time to time.

There are many shopping malls, shops, and restaurants on both sides of Yan'an Road. Victory Theater is the most iconic building on Yan'an Road.

The two entered the theater and found their seats. Zhang Qiang asked: "Teacher Lin, do you know that there is an opera called Little Baihua in Zhijiang?"

"Some impression."

Zhang Qiang said with a bit of pride in his eyebrows: "This year's opera Little Hundred Flowers Performance, our Zhijiang Province has more than 2,000 opera students participating in the selection, and more than 200 rookies have won awards. This batch of opera students in the province Opera actors attach great importance to it. They specially selected all the emerging Yue opera performers who have participated in more than two performances from more than 70 Yue opera troupes across the province to establish the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe.

They were brought together to the Zhijiang Art School for rigorous training. The actors who came to teach these actors were all famous actors in our country's Yue, Jing, Kun, Wu and other dramas. "

“Not only that, in order to cultivate this group of actors, our province has also invited famous playwrights in the province to specially write innovative plays, organized excellent directors, composers, stage designers and band personnel to work together to carefully rehearse new plays, and of course traditional plays. .”

"The play we watched today is the result of this training. These are 28 actors selected from more than 2,000 Yue opera actors. You may not know that this performance is actually the performance of Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe to go to Hong Kong It’s a preview of the performance. It will only be performed for a week, and today is the first performance. You are here to catch up. "

Zhang Qiang kept introducing the performance, and Lin Weimin's heart moved as he listened.

Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe?

Such a familiar name, he immediately thought of that stunning figure.

Only then did he remember that later generations had seen boring self-media reviews of beauties, and Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe was a big producer of beauties.

The woman he had been thinking about in the past two days happened to be among them.

Thinking of this incident, Lin Weimin suddenly became excited and kept looking at the platform.

"What's the play to be performed today?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Five girls wish you a happy birthday."

Lin Weimin tried hard to recall, and the impression became clearer and clearer. The little white flower he missed was among them.

The Victory Theater was very lively today. As the first performance since the establishment of Xiaobaihua Troupe, it was also a warm-up before going to Hong Kong. Many leaders of Zhijiang's cultural departments and people from the cultural circles came to support it, as well as theater fans who came to support it. More.

While Lin Weimin was looking towards the stage, gongs and drums sounded, and the performance of "Five Women's Birthday Wishes" was about to begin.

This play was written just this year by Mr. Gu Xidong.

It tells the story of Yang Jikang, the Minister of Household Affairs during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. His five daughters and sons-in-law came to celebrate his birthday. Because their adopted daughter Sanchun and her son-in-law Zou Yinglong were poor and lowly, Mrs. Yang kicked them out of the house.

Later, Yang Jikang was dismissed from his post because he offended Yan Song. None of the girls could be relied on, and only Sanchun took them in. Later, Zou Yinglong won the first prize and overthrew Yan Song, and Yang Jikang avenged his injustice.

Yue Opera is one of the more widely spread local operas in China, otherwise Zhijiang Province would not have spent so much effort building the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe to promote Yue Opera.

Yue Opera originated in Shengzhou, Zhijiang, and was founded in Shanghai. It has absorbed the advantages of Kun Opera, Shao Opera and other special operas, and has experienced the transformation from men's Yue Opera to women's Yue Opera. Now it has gradually become a tradition for female actors to sing the leading roles on stage.

Lin Weimin was not familiar with Yue opera, and actors performed on stage one after another. He only felt that the singing was beautiful and graceful, and had the spirit of Jiangnan.

Of course, he focused more on finding the little white flower in his heart.

But he watched for a long time. The actors on the stage were wearing costumes and makeup on their faces. He couldn't tell which one was which.

He could only target the actor who played the fifth daughter Yang Wufeng based on his feelings. He had a feeling that she should be the person he was looking for.

After waiting for a long time, when it was almost over, Lin Weimin asked Zhang Qiang: "Can we go backstage?"

"Teacher Lin, do you want to express your condolences to the actors?"

Lin Weimin didn't want to explain any more and nodded.

Zhang Qiang looked at a group of leaders in the front row who were getting up, "I'm afraid it's not possible? There seem to be provincial leaders here."

After the performance ended and the actors took their bow, the leaders in the front row went to the backstage to express condolences to the actors. The audience in the theater began to leave one after another. Lin Weimin had no choice but to follow the large group and exit the theater first.

When he came out of the theater and walked to the entrance of the theater, Lin Weimin stopped moving.

"Teacher Lin, what's wrong?"

"Do you still have the tickets for this show?"

Zhang Qiang was surprised. Teacher Lin was fascinated by the show? Do you have to meet the actors? I really chose this project well.

"You still want to see it? Then I'll go and find out for you."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Lin Weimin rejected Zhang Qiang's kindness and came to the ticket office at the entrance of the theater.

"Comrade, I would like to buy some tickets for the performance of the Xiao Baihua Yue Opera Troupe."

The conductor said: "You are late, the tickets are all sold out."

Lin Weimin was a little surprised that theater tickets were so popular?

Zhang Qiang said: "Teacher Lin, how about I help you ask?"

Lin Weimin shook his head. Zhang Qiang must have used his relationship with their troupe to find tickets. There was no need to take advantage of this favor. After sending Zhang Qiang away, he said to the conductor: "Comrade, if you are bothered, please help me ask around and see if there are any more." I don’t have time to look at the tickets, but if you are willing to sell them, I am willing to pay double the price to buy them.”

The conductor glanced at Lin Weimin unexpectedly, "Do you really want to buy a ticket?"

"Yes, we need tickets from tomorrow to the end of the show. The price is negotiable, sorry to bother you." Lin Weimin said politely.

The conductor said: "Well, come back tomorrow. I'll tell you if I have tickets."

"Sorry to trouble you." Lin Weimin didn't say anything, but handed in a five-pound national food stamp through the ticket window.

The conductor didn't say anything and accepted the call in a tacit understanding.

After coming out of the Victory Theater, Lin Weimin ordered a bowl of noodle soup from a nearby restaurant. It tasted very good. After eating, he used the restaurant table to draw on paper for a long time before returning to the guest house.

The next day, Zhang Qiang came to the guest house to find Lin Weimin early in the morning. Lin Weimin declined his company, and Zhang Qiang returned to the troupe disappointed.

Lin Weimin walked out of the guest house and went straight to the Victory Theater on Yan'an Road.

"Comrade, do you have a ticket?" Lin Weimin asked while leaning at the ticket window, holding a basket of things in his hand.

The conductor recognized him at a glance and said with a smile, "Tickets are available."

The ticket price for Xiao Baihua Yue Opera Troupe's performances ranges from 4 cents to 1 yuan and 2 cents, depending on the location. The conductor found Lin Weimin two tickets for today and tomorrow, both of which are in the middle of the theater. The original ticket price was 1.6 yuan, but Lin Weimin paid 3.2 yuan.

"If there are tickets for the next few days, I'll want them, preferably in the front row." Lin Weimin said to the conductor before entering the venue.

The conductor agreed happily.

"Five Daughters Birthday Wishes" was staged again. This time Lin Weimin came alone. The atmosphere in the theater was similar to yesterday. It seemed that the market for drama performances was not small these days.

On the stage, the five female actors from the Yang family appeared one after another. Lin Weimin was still blindly guessing the little white flower that belonged to him until the end of the performance.

Standing up without finishing his thoughts, Lin Weimin found the conductor again.

"Excuse me, I would like to give these fruits to the actors performing today."

In midsummer, there are a lot of fruits in Hangzhou, and it is not uncommon for drama fans to give away fruits after watching the show.

The conductor was fine at the moment and delivered Lin Weimin's basket of fruit to the backstage of the performance. At this time, the actors of Xiaobaihua Theater Company were taking off their makeup. They heard someone delivering fruit, but no one paid attention.

Although today it is not like the performances in theaters and gardens before the founding of the People's Republic of China where valuables such as silver dollars, gold, jewelry, etc. were given, the tradition of giving gifts has still been preserved. They are usually in kind and the value is not expensive.

He Saifei plays the fifth daughter Yang Wufeng today. She has just taken off her makeup. She has a very cheerful character and can't stop wandering around backstage.

Seeing the fruit brought by the conductor, she opened it to reveal the various fruits inside.

Yo, this guy really has a heart.

He Saifei counted and found that there were basically all kinds of fruits on the market, and the weight was quite large, at least more than ten kilograms.

She picked a few lychees casually, and her sharp eyes spotted the small note in the fruit basket.

There is a situation!

She picked up the note and unfolded it carefully with some expectation in her heart.

"How to make you meet me

in my best moments

for this

I have prayed before the Buddha for five hundred years."

Just a few short words, divided into four lines, you can read it in one glance.

After He Saifei finished reading, she stood firmly in place.

What a beautiful artistic conception!

She was immersed in the tenderness and romance of the words, and her face showed the unique shyness of a girl.

"What is Concubine Sai looking at?"

At this time, Mao Weitao, who had just finished taking off his makeup, noticed He Saifei's actions. She had a man's name, sang as a niche, and had a tomboy personality. She found the small note in He Saifei's hand and snatched it away. come over.

It took only a few seconds to read the few lines. She immediately caught the strong romantic atmosphere on the note and read it out loud naughtily.

"How to make you meet me

in my best moments

for this

I have prayed before the Buddha for five hundred years."

Some poems you know are vulgar, but they are indeed beautiful to read, especially when used in specific situations.

The few lines of poetry Lin Weimin wrote on the note were excerpted from "A Blossoming Tree" by Xi Murong. There is no such poet in this world, so Lin Weimin felt no pressure to copy it.

Not to mention the whole poem, just these few sentences are full of lethality for the young girl.

Mao Weitao has very strong opera skills, and after reading these lines, he immediately caused a sensation backstage.

The actors who were taking off their makeup all looked at her with attention.

The average age of the main actors in the play "Five Girls Wish Birthday" was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Several young and curious girls rushed to Mao Weitao's side.

"What is this? Let me see."

"let us see."

Mao Weitao handed the note to the booing sisters and looked at Concubine He Sai with a gossipy face.

"Concubine Sai, tell me, did you do something shameful without telling us sisters?"

Concubine He Sai's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
