Jinghua Tianjiao

The day for the proposal was getting closer and closer. Jinghuafang had already conducted several rehearsals of the proposal, but Liu Tian was not involved in any of the rehearsals due to family problems.Seeing that the day for the formal proposal was getting closer, Du Juan felt anxious.I was afraid that the opening of the Peking Opera that Liu Tian originally said would not come true.Then, she also made two preparations.She didn't even understand what was going on with her. She cared so much about Liu Tian. Maybe as Wen Xin said, she had begun to rely on him.

For this proposal, Du Juan led everyone to re-examine the silk products in addition to the rehearsal before she felt at ease.In the past few days, Du Juan had trouble sleeping.Until the last night, when Du Juan was about to rest, Liu Tian called directly.

"How's it going, Juan'er, how have you been preparing these past few days?" Liu Tian asked as soon as he opened his mouth, "I've been too busy these past few days. Grandpa's condition has relapsed again. Alas..."

"how is it now……"

"His memory is erratic. I can't say for sure. Anyway, he's resting now. I'm still in the nursing home and I just have some time to relax, so I just wanted to ask you how you are." Liu Tian said, apologizing to Du Juan again. "I don't even know how to tell you this. I'm so sorry, Juan'er."

Du Juan understood Liu Tian's pain, "Why are you apologizing to me? It's not your fault. Everything has come together, and now the old man's health is the most important."

"That's not okay, I still have to apologize. I was supposed to be there for these rehearsals, but I don't know if the aria I prepared is suitable? I'll just have to wait and see tomorrow morning."

"I believe you." Du Juan said, "You really don't need to apologize to me, just like you told me that I don't need to say thank you so much."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Tian was silent for a while and said, "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite?" Du Juan suddenly had an idea in her mind, "Um... which part have you prepared for the part you're going to sing tomorrow? Why don't you sing it with me now."

"Ah... now?" Liu Tian did not expect that Du Juan would make such a request

"Ah."

"Then wait for me to prepare..." Hearing this hesitant voice, Liu Tian became a little nervous, but he joked with Du Juan, "You... you can't sleep, let me sing you a lullaby."

Du Juan smiled and said: "How could it be? How could this be hypnosis? I have never heard you sing on the phone."

"Only you can come up with this idea,"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a long time. Du Juan listened carefully to the movement on the other end. For some reason, her heart was beating "thumping". She was more nervous than Liu Tian.

"The sky is blue and the sky is yellow, the ground is yellow, the west wind is strong, and the wild geese from the north are flying south. Who is dyed crimson by the frost in the morning? It's always the tears of a thousand miles away..."

Du Juan had listened to this verse from "The Romance of the West Chamber" thousands of times, and she only heard a few of it when Liu Tian sang it at the Peking Opera House. She closed her eyes slightly, and the melodious lyrics of the nightingale flowed into her cochlea like the fine water of the Yongding River.

I don't know when it ended. Du Juan didn't notice it, but she heard Liu Tian cough lightly, "Juan'er, what do you think of this play "The Romance of the West Chamber"?"

"Very good." Du Juan replied calmly.
"Then I will sing this part tomorrow. This part is also one of my best parts."

"Okay." Du Juan replied happily
Liu Tian said softly: "Then... let's rest together." "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Du Juan's heart that was "thumping" just now was like a deer bumping around, almost jumping on the bed. This night will be a good dream.

However, Liu Tian, ​​who was still in the nursing home, had just hung up the phone when he heard the nurse on night duty saying behind him, "Who is it? Who is singing? It's very good. Don't sing any more. Everyone is resting."

"Okay." Liu Tian turned around and responded softly to the nurse at the other end of the corridor.

Even though he said this, he was still humming a tune.

The proposal meeting was held as scheduled, and the Jinghuafang group arrived at the Peking Opera Theater early.Then Liu Tian arrived. As soon as Wen Xin saw Liu Tian, ​​she hurriedly poked Du Juan, "Look, he's here."

"I know." Du Juan was elated.
Following closely behind were Yu Yan and Master Zhong from the Palace Museum. Behind them were several people carrying wooden boxes. The wooden boxes looked very old, as if they had been kept in the museum for a long time.But why are Yuyan and Master Zhong here?Du Juan was puzzled.But to Jinghuafang, Master Zhong is a noble person, and he must be here for this proposal.

Yu Yan calmly sat down next to Du Juan and said directly to Du Juan, "Juan'er, Master Zhong heard from the Wangfu Cultural and Creative Department that the Peking Opera Theater would make a proposal today, so he made a special trip to have a look and give some explanations."

"Yes." Du Juan responded, and soon the proposal meeting began. As mentioned before, Liu Tianyi's song "The Romance of the West Chamber" really stunned everyone. Then Du Juan came on stage to talk about the plan, and also won the battle. Round of applause.

After Du Juan finished bowing, Teacher Bai from the Peking Opera Theater made a comment first, "I didn't expect Liu Tian and Du Juan to make this proposal meeting so unique and creative. I also made the first silk figure you made. I saw it, and it’s better than expected, which shows that Jinghuafang’s skills are very deep. Master Zhong, don’t you have something to say?”

Master Zhong stood up, picked up the Peking Opera silk figure on the exhibition stand, stared at it for a long time, and then touched the silk figure's headdress with his hand without saying anything.Du Juan saw this and wondered, was there something wrong with the jewelry?
"Here, you guys open the boxes and take a look." After Master Zhong said that, the people carrying the boxes stepped forward and opened all the wooden boxes one by one. They were full of jewelry. Du Juan took a look inside the box. Some are golden, some shine silver, and some are crystal clear, but these are not treasures, they are like pieces of shaped jewelry.

Everyone opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the box. Master Zhong called everyone over, "Come on, come and take a look."

Du Juan stepped forward and saw that there were really jewelry in the box. She didn't understand what Master Zhong meant by bringing these items here, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, after everyone finished reading, Master Zhong said, "Actually, I brought these ornaments here today because I want to use them on the ornaments of your subsequent Peking Opera series of silk figures... How should I put it, Jinghuafang participated in the production this time For the Peking Opera series of silk figures, we want to not only allow the silk figures to have their own value, but also appreciate them in terms of cultural inheritance, maximizing their cultural value. We are also making a comprehensive assessment, so you can only use this series of accessories for the time being. Give up making and just use what’s in the box.”

"Ah? With these in the box, wouldn't Sister Juan's work be in vain?"

"Yes, Sister Juan has made enough ornaments for twenty pieces of silk. If you do this, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

Amuna and Gesang were talking privately, and Du Juan looked very calm.Although she didn't know why Master Zhong made such an arrangement, she decided to fight for it because of such changes, "Master Zhong, can the accessories made in the studio now be used together with the ones in these boxes?"

Master Zhong smiled and said, "Hahaha, you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that the ornaments you have made now will be put away for now. All the silk figures in the Peking Opera series will use the ones in the box. , that’s it.”

Master Zhong's decision was something that even Yu Yan had not thought of.Yu Yan has been engaged in silk art for many years, and she is also very familiar with jewelry.She knew how long it took her daughter to make a piece of jewelry, not to mention the hard work day and night during this period. Master Zhong's decision also puzzled her, but in this situation, she couldn't say it. I want to hear what Master Zhong has to say later.
