Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 125

The mountains are green and the rivers are full of white, the rain is like smoke in the sound of the cuckoo, and there are few idlers in the countryside in April, so only the sericulture is planted and the fields are planted.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River has entered April, and the weather has gradually become hotter. The fields outside Runzhou City have already planted green seedlings, full of vitality.

The scholars and common people in the city continued to live a comfortable life of drunkenness and dreams.

From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, the whole society was filled with an apocalyptic sentiment.The romantic passion of the literati in the prosperous Tang Dynasty to make contributions has disappeared without a trace, and the sense of responsibility of the literati in the middle Tang Dynasty to worry about the country and the people has disappeared. The life ideals and aspirations of "the great harmony of the world" and "the unity of the prosperous age" have no support. Faced with the constant change of dynasties and regimes, and the constant fighting against each other, people are in the chaos of life and death. Faith is lost, the spirit has fallen, and life is short. Pursuit of instant gratification, the pursuit of flashy stimulation.

This is the portrayal of the life of the literati, dignitaries and gentry in Western Shu, Southern Tang and Qianyue.

Now, with the imminent performance of the drama "Romance of the West Chamber" in Xiangyun Pavilion, there has been a lot of discussion in Runzhou City.In addition to being curious, it is more of a mentality of watching the excitement, and is not optimistic, especially the Huadans and Qingguan people from Cuiwei Pavilion, Hongxiufang, Tongquelou, and Qingguan people, commenting that this is just Xiangyun Pavilion dying. , It's just a gimmick, so don't pay too much attention to it.

On this day, finally came the day of the Xiangyun Pavilion performance.

Even Han Xizai, Xu Qingwan and others were alarmed, because the Xiangyun Pavilion released news yesterday that this opera story was originally written by Su Yixuan, which once again caused a sensation and pushed the publicity effect to a high point.

After Lian Bai Susu heard about it, when she met Su Chen in the workshop in the morning, she specifically asked him, why did she choose to help Liu Mo Nong?

Su Chen thought for a while, and just replied lightly: "Maybe, because she is so pitiful and pitiful; maybe, it's because I have some fate with her."

"Then how about lending you tens of thousands of coins to redeem her from the Xiangyun Pavilion?" Bai Susu looked at him with a smile.

Su Chen thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's better... don't do it, I haven't gotten to know her that well yet, let's see the situation later, and I will borrow it from you when I need it!"

Bai Susu didn't talk to her, she was chewing a few dried broad beans, only to hear "crack" and "crack", although she still had a smile on her face, but for some reason, Su Chen felt a chill in his heart .

After only staying for a while, Su Chen offered to leave, because he felt standing next to an iceberg and felt chills from time to time.

Bai Susu looked at Su Chen's disappearing figure, and gave him a blank look, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Su Chen returned to his Su Mansion, Han Yunpeng had already rushed over to wait for him. Seeing him coming back, he held his arm and said excitedly: "The performance of Story of the West Chamber in Xiangyun Hall will start at noon. You should prepare a little bit earlier. In the past, Ms. Liu sent someone to send invitations and reserved a good front row seat for us."

Su Chen looked at his excited expression, and said speechlessly: "Didn't we watch the rehearsal a few days ago, is it worth your excitement?"

Han Yunpeng shook his head and said, "My brother, wow, can it be the same! This kind of stage play is the first time in Runzhou, and it is also the first in our Tang Dynasty. I heard that Xiangyun Hall sent out many invitations yesterday. There are prominent figures in Zhoucheng, high-ranking officials, merchants, gentry, gifted scholars and talented women, and even the head of the same flower house, all sent invitations. This is planning to become popular, and many important figures in Runzhou City will go! This time I saw it with my own eyes. Witness, do you think I can't be excited?"

"What does it have to do with you!" Su Chen still couldn't figure out why he was so excited.

"My son is also involved in this. The first two times, didn't I still give my opinions? For example, the villain in the play, who didn't act well, with exaggerated expressions, superficial, bad conservative, I personally gave instructions and demonstrations. Read it again..."

Su Chen nodded: "You are acting in your true colors, it is really difficult for others to learn the essence!"

"My brother, let's stop talking nonsense here, go over there quickly, if you go late, the good position will be taken away by others." Han Yunpeng couldn't wait to pull him out.

When the two were about to go out, they happened to meet Peng Qingqing, who was disguised as a man, walked in and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the brothel!" Han Yunpeng replied subconsciously.

"What!" Peng Qingqing raised her eyebrows and stared at the two of them.

Su Chen explained: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this time we have received invitations from the Xiangyun Hall, where there is an opera performance of "The Romance of the West Chamber". Currently, in Runzhou City, many famous and respected people will be invited, so let's go and join us Lively, let’s enjoy the performance of this novel opera.”

A literate person and an uneducated person say the same thing differently.

One said to go to a brothel, vulgar!

One said that it is an elegant thing to enjoy opera performances.

"Yes, go to the brothel to watch the show!" Han Yunpeng explained.

"..." Su Chen was speechless. He pinched Han Xiaopang next to him, and spat in his heart: Can you fucking stop meddling with it, it's getting darker and darker.

If you watch a show, you can just say watch a show. If you don’t add a brothel show, it’s easy to be misunderstood as something like a strip-twisting dance or a whip-throwing event.

Fortunately, Peng Qingqing had already understood, she didn't go any further, she nodded slightly and said: "It's just right, I'll go with you too, to join in the fun."

Su Chen hesitated and said: "The land of the brothel, is it not good for you to go there?"

Peng Qingqing waved her hand and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you see that this girl has changed into men's clothes? Besides, talented Xu and some rich and famous ladies can go, why can't I go?"

"Okay, then let's go there together!" Su Chen didn't stop him, anyway, he didn't have to treat guests by himself, they came in with invitations, but the meal fee was free.

The three of them set off and got into the carriage that Han Yunpeng brought from the mansion, saving themselves from walking on foot.

In the carriage, the three of them talked about the "Yunqingxuan" bookstore. Han Yunpeng said that the engraving and printing craftsmen are already making type models, and it is expected that the first batch of manuscripts will be printed in a few days.

Things are moving towards the good side. Su Chen is in a good mood. After coming to Nantang for nearly a month, he finally got rid of the predicament and discomfort, and has his own foundation and small business.The next step is to work steadily, strengthen cooperation with Bai Susu, and earn more money.

In less than a stick of incense, the carriage stopped outside the Xiangyun Pavilion.

Su Chen, Peng Qingqing, and Han Yunpeng got out of the car and saw a long queue at the door, checking tickets to enter. There were many onlookers outside who didn't buy tickets for the first game, but they still came to join in the fun. After watching it, you can have a count in your heart, and then decide whether to buy tickets for the performance at night.

Many brothels and Wazi sent people to watch and inquire about the news, so the entrance of Xiangyun Hall was very noisy and full of people.

Holding the invitation card, the three of Su Chen can enter through a special passage through another side door, so they don't have to queue up.

Stepping into the lobby, I found that the space on the first floor of Xiangyun Pavilion has also been temporarily remodeled. The stage is placed in the open space directly in front, and the curtain is drawn. There is a table near the stage area, which belongs to the VIP area. Some fruits and dried fruits are placed on it. , dried meat, wine, etc.

However, there are only ordinary wooden benches and chairs in the outer auditorium, and there are no tables for seats, so that more people can be accommodated.

Since the performance was about to begin, many people had already gathered in the lobby, sitting densely, just waiting for the good show to begin.
