Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 242
[Chapter 239]
Xue Liangcai angrily walked out of the Political Affairs Hall with an ugly expression on his face.
Because he was optimistic about the land where he built his house, the City Lord’s Mansion would not sell it.
In the end, he raised the price to the limit that he could bear, which was more than twice that of the surrounding plots. The reply from the City Lord’s Mansion was still not for sale!
After further questioning, it turned out that the city lord personally circled the land and wanted to build a theater.
Just kidding, he Xue Liangcai is a well-informed master at any rate, he is seventy-two years old today, he has never heard of or seen anything, what is a theater?
It was clearly just an excuse used by Zhengshitang to perfunctory himself.
such a pity.
His Xue family has been in business for generations, so he naturally has a keen judgment on the layout of the city. In his opinion, if Dongcang City is to prosper in the future, that piece of land must be a place of wealth and honor.
Therefore, Xue Liangcai planned to use this place as the foundation of his Xue family, but unexpectedly, he was rejected again and again.
…
Back in the rented courtyard, the three and a half children running and playing in the courtyard stopped quickly when they saw Xue Liangcai, and said respectfully, “I have met the eldest father.”
Seeing his three grandchildren, Xue Liangcai Only then did his complexion soften a little.
Although his Xue family is not a rich and famous family, it can be regarded as a noble family in a small town in Lanzhou, with considerable wealth. In his generation, he and his elder brother came out, both of whom were educated, and now they are all teachers territory.
But I don’t know if it’s because his brothers have overdrawn the talents of their descendants. He has two sons, and his elder brother has three sons, none of whom have the talent for reading through.
They pin their hopes on the next generation, but what disappoints them is that in the generation of grandchildren, none of the five grandsons has the talent for reading through, while the three granddaughters do have the talent for reading through, but in their opinion, Talent is limited, and Confucian scholars who have become poetic are probably the ultimate.
It wasn’t until a few months ago that several of his sons and nephews embarked on martial arts by reading the book of Marquis Wu. After a period of waiting and watching, Xue Liangcai and his elder brother Xue Lianghua finally decided-to separate!
Like the choices of many families, Xue Lianghua stayed in his ancestral land and continued to teach his three granddaughters who were talented in reading through, while Xue Liangcai went to Dongcang with his son and nephew who had already comprehended martial arts, and his grandson who was not gifted in reading through.
Leaving his hometown all the way, traveling thousands of miles, and arriving at Dongcang City, he could only live in this rudimentary courtyard house. After finally choosing a place to start his family, but being rejected, Xue Liangcai was naturally depressed.
It’s just that when I saw three boys with thick heads and thick brains, my heart softened a little.
If it wasn’t for them, he would still be a master anyway, so why bother to suffer from this man’s leaving his hometown.
It’s all for the children.
Xue Liangcai reached out and touched the head of the youngest boy among them, and said, “Ner, where are your father and uncles?”
This is the son of his youngest son, named Xue Na, who is most loved by Xue Liangcai. Xue Na respectfully said: “Back to the eldest father, my father and some uncles have gone to apply for the city guard camp. The two brothers are still doing missions outside and have not returned home.”
Xue Liangcai nodded: “In two days, the martial arts hall will be closed The school is about to start, and Eldest Father has already signed up all of you, then you must practice martial arts with all your heart, and don’t be playful.” The
three little guys saluted together: “I would like to follow Elder Father’s instruction.”
After saluting, Xue Na vomited again Sticking out his tongue, he said, “Father, there is nothing interesting in this place. I miss my second sister and the others.”
Xue Liangcai smiled lightly. The second sister that Xue Na said was the daughter of his eldest son, and she also stayed in the ancestral land to study. granddaughter. This little granddaughter is skillful, and is used to making desserts and delicacies. Xue Ne said that he was thinking of his second sister, but in fact he was greedy.
At this moment, a policeman from the Government Affairs Hall walked into the compound. Seeing that Xue Liangcai was chatting with several young grandchildren, he quickly cupped his hands: “I have met Mr. Xue.”
Xue Liangcai returned the salute: “Is there anything you can do?”
The other party handed over a piece of paper and said: “The city lord’s mansion will have a play of “The Son-in-Law” at noon today. We are selected as the first batch to watch. Mr. Xue can go with his family.”
Xue Liangcai took the paper in doubt, Puzzled, he asked, “Opening the show? What is the meaning of this? What is “The Female Consort”? This concubine still has a woman?”
The messenger shrugged: “I don’t know, this word was passed down from above. Let me explain this later. I have to go to the next one, so I will leave.”
After speaking, the messenger turned and left.
Xue Liangcai looked down at the piece of paper, which looked a bit like a grass newspaper, with a few large characters written prominently on it—
“Creating the world! Marquis Wu will open up the style of drama again!” ” Showing
the size of the world!”
Feeling how long the years are!”
“The premiere of “The Female Son-in-Law”, how can I ask why the dignified son-in-law is a daughter!”
“Please take a look!”
Xue Liangcai felt his whole body was shocked, he had never seen such a word.
After waiting for a long time, he saw the address at the bottom, which was actually the piece of land he was looking for.
“A square inch represents the world, and sighs the years. What a boldness.”
“Is this the reason why the old man can’t apply for that piece of land?”
“The old man wants to see what Wuhou is doing with that piece of land! ”
…
Looking at the hurriedly completed theater in front of him, Chen Luo nodded slightly.
Luo Hongnu deserves to be a musical genius, he just made a few random remarks, Luo Hongnu not only quickly found suitable personnel among the people of Dongcang City, but also rehearsed the entire stage performance.
With Chen Luo’s approval, it is ready to perform officially.
On the contrary, the theater was short of time and couldn’t make it so cumbersome. Basically, it built a hall, set up a big stage, and then set up some audience seats in a ladder shape. It’s a bit similar to the lecture theater in the previous life.
When watching a play, there must always be a sense of atmosphere.
In the beginning, Chen Luo wanted to make it open like a big country stage. Anyway, his purpose was not to collect tickets, but he found that it was difficult for the audience to calm down. Cleared up.
Besides, since it has been made, it should be more formal, as a feature of Dongcang City. Other forms can be supplemented later.
So he gave Master Qin a special order to build the theater as soon as possible at any cost. From the current point of view, although it is far from what he imagined, there is still a prototype that can be played. As for the details, it will be supplemented slowly in the future.
Looking at the time, there are still two hours before the official opening. Chen Luo walked out of the “theater”, intending to see Luo Hongnu’s preparations.
…
At this moment, the news of “The Female Consort” has already spread in Dongcang City.
“Brother, tell me, can this son-in-law still be a woman?
” Why cover my mouth!”
“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory! Don’t talk about those things that can’t be put on the table. This is the article of the city lord, our Marquis Wu, how could we write those things!” “Everyone, stop arguing
, I I heard it’s still singing!”
“Singing? The one in the hook?”
“Bah, bah, if you say that again, I’ll kill you. Didn’t you see that it was Miss Luo who sang it herself?”
“Miss Luo Ah! That is a person in the sky. I heard that Ms. Luo is a daughter in Zhongjing, can she sing for those of us who are suffering?”
“Didn’t you read the notice? In the future, you can go in and listen if you have contribution points , whoever you are. You have to take turns now!”
“Bastard, the lottery for our piece will be three days later, and the No. 6 area in the east of the city is the first batch!”
“Hey, just wait…”
…
“Is this “The Female Consort” a new song by Wan Anbo? ”
“It’s just a piece of music, why bother to mobilize people like this!”
“Yes, yes, is it to make Miss Luo famous ?
”
, I heard that this song is not sung by one person alone, but by many people, I am afraid it is not the kind of song we are familiar with!”
“Yes, look at the announcement, it also said that it is a new genre created by Marquis Wu.”
“It’s okay It doesn’t matter, anyway, I can go to watch it tomorrow, and then it will be clear at a glance.”
“Hey, there are still sixteen hours and three quarters until tomorrow’s viewing!”
…
“Sister Li, you are also going to… what courtyard… Going to listen to the music?”
“It’s the theater, and the messenger said, this is to go to the theater, not to listen to the music.”
“Yeah, I’m surprised, aren’t all the people listening to the music are old men? Why? The police specifically said that all of us female relatives should go.”
“It’s okay, my man participated in the construction of that theater, saying that men and women sit separately in it, and there will be nothing wrong, otherwise my man is so narrow-minded. , you will take me with you to the north, and you are willing to let me sit with a group of elders and watch some drama!”
“I don’t care about any drama, as long as it is written by the city lord, I will go.”
” Both Sister, are you going to the theater too? Why don’t you go together?”
“It’s just right, come and come, let’s go together.”
……
In the forty-sixth year of Zhenghe in the Daxuan calendar, winter.
On the eighth day of November, at noon.
Dongcang City.
People from all directions poured into a weird building, holding number plates in their hands, and found the corresponding seats to sit down.
They looked at the front strangely, and there was a huge curtain blocking their sight, as if dividing the entire hall into two parts, the front and the back.
It didn’t take long for the hall to be filled with people, but everyone was instructed not to speak loudly when they entered the arena, so the buzzing of whispers continued.
At this moment, Chen Luo walked into the theater with Yun Siyao, and the scene fell silent.
Only the old Dongcang was lucky enough to have seen Yun Siyao, and now these newcomers to Dongcang suddenly saw Yun Siyao, and their hearts moved.
I thought that Miss Luo was already a figure in the sky, but I didn’t expect that there was such a fairy beside the city lord.
As expected of the city lord!
“Ahem!” Yun Siyao felt the unnatural gaze on her body, coughed twice, and Chen Luo hurriedly led Yun Siyao to the front row.
Chen Luo nodded at everyone, and said, “The construction of Dongcang City has worked hard for you all.”
“Today, I am Chen Luo, and I invite you to watch the show!”
“Start!”
Chen Luo’s voice fell, and the curtain covering the stage slowly pull away.
On the stage, dressed in an embroidery building, a beautiful figure turned its back to the crowd.
The musicians on both sides of the stage played music, and the figure slowly turned around, it was Luo Hongnu.
She seemed to be looking into the distance, walked to the front of the stage in the rhythm of the music, and sang softly—
“The spring breeze brings warmth to Xiangyang, and sitting alone by the west window makes me feel desolate…” The
first scene, “Embroidered Building”.
“The Female Consort”, the show begins!
Another small easter egg was buried, I don’t know if anyone found it.
……………………
The excerpt I am talking about is the authentic Huangmei Opera, not the popular singing method on Douyin.
Don’t criticize me, I’m promoting the positive energy of culture.
………………
Huang Mei is a female concubine, it’s not against the law to get some monthly tickets!
Everyone, understand?
