Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 107 The Third Brother Who Knows the Truth

Zhu Zhen wanted to use these few days to expand the section of "The Lion House".

When "The Lion House" was staged in Linhuai County in the past, he used allegro scripts to briefly describe the stories of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, and put the main performance after Dalang drank the medicine.

First of all, when he was a child, he said that the plots of love between men and women are always a little weird.Second, before Dalang drank the medicine, it was mainly a literary drama in which Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian hooked up to adultery, and there was no such condition for wanting to act.

But the audience has always been thinking about this passage, not only in "The Lion House", but also in other chapters, the audience clamored all day long, asking him to elaborate on this passage.

Many people also expressed that if they could put this performance on, they would be willing to add as much money as possible.And it's not just talk, many people sent all their money to Hong's class just to watch Ximen Qing molesting Pan Jinlian.But my brothers can't act, so I dare not accept it.

Now Zhu Zhen fully understands why Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng singled out the expansion of this paragraph.Alas, sure enough, there is a high official living in everyone's heart.

Now that the conditions are met, he is ready to release this paragraph to make up for the audience's regret.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the rehearsal started, something went wrong...

Zhu, the leading actor in this episode, actually stopped acting.

Zhu Zhen had been laying the foundation for the third brother before, and had never taught him a play, and now he was asked to participate in the rehearsal of "Celebrating the Lotus" for the first time, and the third brother quit.

Only then did he know what kind of role he was playing as Ximen Qing.

"No, no, no, I won't play Ximen Qing. With the image of the third brother, why should he play a positive role?" Zhu Yikou wanted to say eight 'no's.

"But there are really not many such characters in "The Legend of Wu Song." Zhu Zhen shook his head.

There is indeed no such thing in "The Legend of Wu Song", but of course there are actually some in "Water Margin".For example, the prodigal son Yanqing or Xiao Li Guanghuarong are very suitable for the third brother.But he doesn't plan to develop new plays anymore, he can't eat more than he can chew, and it would be good to perform "The Legend of Wu Song" well.

"But how can I play a prostitute who hooks up with a wife?" His Royal Highness Jin Wang felt that this would be a stain on his life.

"What is acting? It's all acting on the stage, and no one will take it seriously when off the stage." Zhu Zhen persuaded: "Look at the second brother, he not only plays Jiang Menshen, but also plays the tiger. Could it be that others really take him Is it okay to be a tiger?"

"No, no, I want to play a positive role." Zhu continued to shake his head.

"If you don't have the spirit of dedication to art, what kind of actor are you?" Zhu Zhen has never been used to mistakes.He believes that if the director lets the actors handle it, it is the beginning of the failure of the whole film.

"It doesn't matter if the third brother doesn't act, anyway, we are not afraid to raise a lot of idlers now."

"You..." Zhu stared at the sixth younger brother, and suddenly found that this kid had grown a lot taller, and his abilities were beyond imagination.

At least in the Hong family's class, the sixth child was the one who kept his word.

He sighed, lowered his posture and said, "Besides, the person playing Pan Jinlian is a man, and he is so ugly, it almost makes me sick to death."

"Actually, I'm also dissatisfied with Pan Jinlian's casting, but I haven't found a dan role." Zhu Zhen also softly said to the third brother:

"Actually, the third brother is the most handsome. If you don't want to play Ximen Qing, you can play Pan Jinlian in a male disguise."

"Okay..." Zhu Gang was about to agree excitedly, when he suddenly realized that he had exposed his little habit.Busily changed his words abruptly:

"What a fart, no! I'd rather play Ximen Qing!"

"Then I'll play Pan Jinlian." At this moment, Wu Nong's soft-spoken female voice sounded.

The two brothers saw that it was Shen Liuniang.

"You?"

"I'm in the opera troupe of Li's Mansion, but I'm playing Zhengdan." Shen Liuniang put on a pose, looked back and smiled, it was really flirtatious... Oh no, it was Bai Meisheng.

She was bored watching the rehearsal of Hong's class, but she was actually curious, how did this group of guys who can't do any drama become so popular in Linhuai?
At first glance, it really is a layman with no basic skills.But watching her, she was deeply attracted. She didn't expect that the play performed by the grass-roots troupe was so charming that she wanted to watch it even after watching it.I even want to get involved and play a role in it.

The two brothers never expected that Shen Liuniang, who is usually bitter, bitter, and icy cold, would be able to act in a state of fascination in an instant.

Just this one, definitely more professional than them.

"But, under the city of Zhongdu, are you fit to show your face?" Zhu Zhen was worried about this, which meant that he wanted to use her.

"Hehe, Liulang, don't you think that Hong's class is performing on stage without makeup?" Shen Liuniang looked at Meixing Yan, covered her mouth and smiled.

"I want to put on makeup, but none of us know how to do it." Zhu Zhen shook his head.

"Hehehe." Shen Liuniang covered her mouth with a coquettish smile and said, "Liu Lang was joking, he doesn't even know how to put on makeup, so what else is there to do?"

"I never lie. In fact, we originally performed boulders in the chest and guns in the throat." Zhu Zhen said helplessly: "It was only after the business was not good that we added the chanting and the plot."

"Okay." Shen Liuniang didn't know whether what Zhu Zhen said was true or not, so she told him about opera makeup.

Women have liked makeup since ancient times. For example, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, "mirror applique yellow" was used. In the Tang Dynasty, various patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish were pasted on the face more exaggeratedly, which was called "mianhuazi". This style was also popular among women in the Song Dynasty. .

But by the time of the Yuan Dynasty, this kind of "mianhuazi" had gradually disappeared from women's faces.But it was preserved on the stage of opera, as the facial features of frivolous women played by danjiao.

"Coupled with a thick foundation, even your own parents won't be able to recognize you when they come." Shen Liuniang said confidently, "If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you later."

As she spoke, she slapped Zhu wantonly, and said with a joke, "Of course, if Sanlang wants to play Pan Jinlian, I can also play Ximen Qing."

"Okay." Zhu Zhen and others shouted for this proposal.

"What's the matter, I'll play Ximen Qing, you're not allowed to steal it!" Zhu's face flushed red, as if he had been seen through.

"Then it's such a happy decision." Zhu Zhen clapped his hands and smiled immediately: "Okay, let's have a rehearsal without makeup first!"

~~
Although Zhu agreed to play Ximen Qing, he still strongly demanded to clear the scene first, so that he can adapt himself before talking.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Di saw that there was no excitement to watch, so they decided to go out for a stroll.How can you come to Zhongdu City and not go in and have a look?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the manor, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.

"You can't go out without the owner's permission!"

"Is that so?" Zhu Xi stepped forward with a smile, and suddenly pushed with both hands, pushing the two servants who were blocking the way far away.

"Fuck you! I can go wherever I want!" He didn't even look at the two servants who were lying on the ground, and left with the fourth child.

The rest of the servants didn't dare to stop these two menacing spirits, they watched them go towards the capital city, and the leader rushed to report.

In the master room, the middle-aged man who is everywhere is playing chess with the goatee.

"You've been observing those boys for some time, what do you think of them?" the middle-aged man asked Luozi.

"Back to King Ming, the five brothers are all talented." Shi Chenglu said: "I will not talk about those two who can fight, but the third is both civil and military. The youngest sixth is actually a playwright. And A person with very high medical skills, who came from me..."

While he was thinking, the guard came in to report.

The middle-aged man said indifferently: "If you can't stop it, don't stop it."

"Yeah, it's good to let them see it with their own eyes." Goatee Shi Chenglu also nodded and said: "It's better to see it with your own eyes. You will know how damn Zhu Hongwu is."

"Yes." The guard bowed and stepped back.
