Chapter 134 Zhao Lirong

After Shen Yi searched the Internet for the location of the not-so-famous Chunshui Theater, he found that it was not too far away.

So he got up and left after paying for the meal, found a teahouse nearby, drank afternoon tea and played with his mobile phone for a while, waited until the time was almost up, stopped a taxi and drove towards the destination.

After driving for about half an hour, the car drove near an alley, and Shen Yi paid for it and got out of the car.

However, not long after he walked into the alley, he was suddenly and inexplicably surrounded by several young people holding leaflets on both sides.

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously touched his mask and sunglasses, then waved his hands and said: "Thank you for not buying a house, not buying insurance, not having children and not going to class."

"Forehead…………"

The two men and one woman who surrounded them looked at each other in blank dismay, they did not expect that Shen Yi would suddenly say such a sentence, which directly made the three of them feel a little helpless.

"Which gentleman, we are not selling houses or working in cram schools. We are students of Chinese opera. I would like to ask if you are interested in watching Peking opera? Our teacher of "Matchmaker" is a national first-class actor of the Peking Opera Theater in Kyoto."

The embarrassment lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally a boy with a thicker skin opened his mouth to explain.

"Yes, yes, "Matchmaker" is a classic Peking Opera play. It is beautiful, easy to understand and very interesting, and the ticket price is not expensive, only [-]."

At this time, the girls on the side also echoed.

Shen Yi nodded suddenly, only then did he realize that the three of them were all dressed in regular clothes without suits, and they might be younger than him in age, it was indeed his misunderstanding.

For small performances, including the popular crosstalk teahouses in Tianjin, etc., because most of them are not well-known, and it is impossible to spend money on advertising, it is very necessary to go out before the performance to attract people.

Shen Yi knew that he had found the right place, looked at the three people who were looking at him eagerly, and immediately nodded with a smile: "I'm sorry, I just misunderstood, please give me a ticket."

"Okay, sir, come with me, our performance is at the Chunshui Theater inside, we just go in and buy tickets."

The girl among the three immediately agreed when she saw that Shen Yi was so easy-going, the little embarrassment just disappeared immediately, and happily walked forward to lead the way for Shen Yi.

As for the other two boys, they had a clear division of labor and continued to stand at the entrance of the alley to pull people.

Shen Yi nodded and followed the girl into the alley, and asked curiously:
"Hello, how long has it been since you have formed a... small Peking Opera troupe? How many people do you usually have?"

The girl nodded when she heard Shen Yi's question, "It's been less than half a year since the show started, and it's not good for people to say it."

"Can't tell?" Shen Yi raised his brows and said.

"That's right, because our performances are held only once a week on weekends, and we basically don't sell tickets, so generally the people who come to the performance rehearsal are our classmates or seniors, and they all come voluntarily and have no money to earn."

"Some people come for a long time, some people come for a short time, or they may find a job and go out of town, so the number of people generally fluctuates quite a lot." The girl explained.

"That's it, why do you have no money..." Shen Yi looked at the girl and asked curiously.

"Because I have studied this major, and I quite like it. It's good to have a platform that allows us to perform, and it can also improve our level. I just don't know how long the teacher and Sister Fanglin can go on like this... "

The girl leading the way sighed lightly and said, naturally she didn't see any difference in Shen Yi's expression.

The two walked forward for three to four hundred meters, and turned directly into a small theater that wasn't too big.

After buying tickets and entering the theater, Shen Yi chose a middle seat and sat down to look around. There were fewer people in the whole theater than he had imagined, and there were no more than ten people overall.

Even so, Shen Yi guessed that there might be quite a few of them related to actors.

The performance officially begins at seven o'clock in the evening.

The play "Matchmaker" is based on Wang Shifu's "The Story of the West Chamber". The story is about the first year of Tang Zhenyuan, Xiluo scholar Zhang Gong went to Beijing to take an exam, and met Cui Yingying, Cui Xiangguo's daughter, at the Pujiu Temple in Hezhong Prefecture. The two fell in love at first sight, and the matchmaker Knead from it, and finally form a family.

The protagonist of this play is the matchmaker, which is one of the representative plays of the Xun School.

Although there are still a few Peking Opera actors except Hongniang who are still a little bit young in singing, reciting and fighting, but just watching this character, if Hongniang performs alone, the ticket price is absolutely super worth it.

"Hey, this girl looks so handsome..."

Seeing the matchmaker's appearance, Shen Yi suddenly heard a mouthful of Tangshan dialect coming from his ear, the voice was also very familiar, and couldn't help but look sideways...

The person who spoke was not far away from Shen Yi, and the lighting was too dim so he couldn't see his specific appearance clearly, but he could vaguely tell that it should be an old lady who was not young.

"This old lady, her voice is carved out of the same mold as the old lady Zhao in the previous life..."

"It's not so scary, right? According to common sense, even in this parallel world, that person should have passed away in 2000. It's been another ten years."

"It should be an illusion. They all speak Tangshan dialect. It's so normal to stand up..."

Shen Yi murmured a few words in his heart, but he didn't think too deeply, but concentrated on watching the performance ahead.

The entire production of "Matchmaker" is nearly two hours long.

However, when the performance was over and all the actors bowed to leave the stage and the lights were turned on, Shen Yi turned his head around unexpectedly, but it really made him dumbfounded, almost hitting his chin on his feet!
"Damn it...it's alive! Old lady Zhao is alive——Zhao Lirong!!!" (○Д○)

 Sleeping for more than ten hours at a time...... I am guilty......

  Today is in good condition, starting to make up
