Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 44 The Master of Peking Opera
The theater is called Hailan Garden, which is not small in scale.

After entering the gate, the third master Bai said as he walked, "The surname of the family's family in the garden, Guan, is quite related to your fourth aunt's husband's family.

He added, "Unfortunately, the class leader is not very good, he is not good at doing business, and he offends people again. This garden is getting more and more quiet. In order to restore the business, I invited Wu Lingxian from the Wu family class to sing the opera today."

Then he said, "Wu Lingxian is not an ordinary person. He is a famous Tsing Yi in Liyuan, and he is the apprentice of Master Shi Xiaofu among the Thirteen Masters of Tongguang."

"Master Shi Xiaofu has eight disciples, known as the Eight Drunk Immortals, but they are all famous Master Liyuan!"

He smiled: "I just brought you here when I heard that Wu Lingxian is going to perform here today. Where would you normally come here? Hailan Garden is dying. There are not many guests, so it's not lively enough."

Then he laughed again: "It doesn't look like a good day today. I can't say Wu Lingxian's name. After this scene, I have to make a discount. It's a pity."

indeed.

This Master Wu Lingxian is a famous guest in Liyuan. It seems that at this moment, there are only a few people going in and out. When the performance is full, the seats are not full, and then the reputation of this Liyuan Master will be lost!

Lu Heng could not comment.Because he doesn't understand this.

Entering the garden, a servant boy came up long ago, nodded and asked someone to be seated.

Said: "it turns out to be the third master Bai! Hello, third master Bai, please take a seat!"

And quickly on the tea, cakes and snacks.

Lu Heng and Bai Sanye sat down and spoke in a low voice. At this moment, a [-]-year-old Jinpao middle-aged man with a red face but a hint of worry in his eyes appeared.

"Master Bai!"

When Bai Sanye saw it, he laughed: "Master Guan!"

The two exchanged greetings, seemingly affectionate and tight.

Bai Sanye smiled and said, "Wu Lingxian came to power today, but I haven't listened to his play for a long time. Master Guan, you are so powerful that you invited him here."

Class Master Guan smiled and said, "Master Wu pity me."

Third Master Bai suddenly said, "How much did you give?!"

Headmaster Guan: "One"

His face pulled down: "third master Bai, what do you mean?"

Bai Sanye smiled and said, "Master Guan, I don't think there are many guests today."

The headmaster Guan looked gloomy.

But there was no seizure. After a while, he sighed: "Third Master, does what you said to me that day count?"

Bai Sanye said, "what?"

Headmaster Guan held his breath and said, "This garden"

"Oh!" Bai Sanye Zuo suddenly realized: "You want to take action in this garden, right?"

But he shook his head: "Oh, how could I have the ability to buy this garden. Guan Sangzhu, I'm not a home, and all the money is in the hands of my second sister-in-law."

The class leader Guan was silent for a while, and said, "Who knows what Third Master Bai is capable of? In this way, Third Master Bai will listen to the play first, and then I will come and talk to you in detail."

Turned around and left.

The third master Bai said to Lu Heng, "see? This guy's theater can't go on."

Said: "He offended Eunuch Zhang in the palace. This Eunuch Zhang is not an ordinary person, but a personal servant of Eunuch Li. Offend him, do you think this Hailan Garden can still be opened?"

Lu Heng said: "Of course it can't be done. Most of the people watching the show are dignitaries. The dignitaries have good ears and eyesight. They know that he has offended the people in the palace, so they don't come to support them. Without the support of the big moneymaker, the theater will naturally not be able to go on."

"Not really!" Bai Sanye clapped his palms: "It is difficult for him to even sell this Hailan Garden."

He told Lu Heng a lot of interesting things in the pear orchard. Seeing that the time was up, the backstage of the stage was already beating drums.

First, someone announced the screen and said that the show to be performed was called 'Nine Watches'.

When Bai Sanye heard this, he was very happy, and couldn't help but said to Lu Heng, "This Jiugengtian is Wu Lingxian's forte. Today is a feast for the eyes!"

Then, the stage started.

As for drama, no matter Peking Opera or any other drama, Lu Heng himself probably doesn't know much about it.I only know that it is the quintessence of the country.

When I was a young man, I really didn't have much trouble with this.But now, Lu Heng's mental age is over [-] years old, and watching this drama again, the feeling is very different.

Vaguely, I could see the depth of this drama, and I suddenly felt it was really interesting.

It's a pity that this play was well sung and not many people watched it.

Sparse and sparse, with occasional applause, most of which are still called by Third Master Bai.

I don't know if Master Wu Lingxian on the stage felt that it was not very refreshing.

Probably regret taking over the job of the class master.

But when you get on stage, you have to sing, and you have to sing well and sing well.

It was lively on the stage and deserted off the stage, which formed a sharp contrast. How could others not know? Anyway, Lu Heng felt that the contrast was quite big.

At this point, Guan's plan was completely over.The play was hastily ended, the curtain call was made, and some people who were watching the play left one after another.

Master Guan stopped the third master Bai.

"Third Master, let's talk in the back room?"

Bai Sanye said: "I can't talk. Master Guan, it's not that our men are unwilling to help, but we really can't help. Otherwise, Eunuch Zhang can't explain it."

Guan's face was bleak, but he was unwilling to give up, and said, "I know that the third master Bai likes Mr. Wu's plays, why not go backstage to meet Mr. Wu?"

The third master Bai felt itchy after hearing this, and hesitated for a moment: "OK!"

He grabbed Lu Heng and said to Class Master Guan, "This is my nephew."

All the way to the backstage.

Seeing that Master Liyuan was removing his makeup, he was talking to a child beside him while removing his makeup.

". If you come to the stage in the future, if you encounter the scene today, don't panic, don't rush. If we sing operas, once on the stage, no matter what, a play must be sung successfully. Even if guns are being fired outside, you will Gotta keep playing."

After hearing this, Bai Sanye couldn't help but shouted hello, and hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Mr. Wu!"

Wu Lingxian stood up hurriedly, of course he recognized the third master Bai, who was a frequent visitor to Liyuan.What's more, this one was the one who attended the most before.

"You took it!"

Bai Sanye smiled and said, "it's the gentleman who sings well!"

After a few chats, the third master Bai looked at the child beside Mr. Wu and couldn't help but say, "Sir, is this an apprentice?"

Mr. Wu said, "this is the child of a good friend of mine. He is born with the ability to eat this bowl of rice. Come, sister skirt, come over and see the third master Bai."

He also said to the third master Bai: "He is the child of the Mei family, and he has a single name. I just accepted him, and the class master Guan came to invite me. This Hailan Garden matches my apprentice's name, and the class master Guan is generous again. I'm here."

He added: "This child, I plan to give him a stage name, called 'Lanfang'. Third Master Bai, when he takes the stage, you will hold it!"

With Lu Heng on the side, he didn't realize what was going on.Listening to it here, my heart skips a beat!
Who is this!
Mei Lanfang!
Who is Mei Lanfang? !Super Peking Opera master!That is a world-renowned palace-level master who went out of the circle and abroad!Famous Patriot!
Then I don't know what Peking Opera is, and I also know who Mei Lanfang is!

Lu Heng couldn't help staring at Master Mei Lanfang who was still a child, and his heart was quite ups and downs.

The future patriot, the famous master, Mr. Mei Lanfang came up and said hello to the third master Bai.

Bai Sanye smiled and said, "Mr. Wu's high-ranking apprentice, okay, when he takes the stage, I'll be the first to join in!"

The class leader Guan interjected and said with a face of shame: "Today I broke Mr. Wu's name, and my surname is Guan. I'm really sorry. Mr. Wu, to tell you the truth, I can't get the appearance fee I promised you. !"

Before Mr. Wu could speak, the third master Bai exploded: "the surnamed Guan, you are not authentic!"

The class leader Guan said ashamedly, "I'm running out of water, and I just hope that today's scene can save one or two things, but unfortunately it hurt Mr. Wu."

He bowed his head to the third master Bai: "third master Bai, I must pay Mr. Wu's appearance fee. I'm looking forward to selling this garden! Help me!"
