In Baixiang Pavilion, there was silence.
Everyone froze in place.
Because they were surprised to find that the girl in butterfly clothes from Piaoxiang Garden was actually wearing plain clothes and no makeup!
Although she is bare-faced and a stunning beauty, the problem is that this is an oiran convention!
Which girl participating in the competition is not very beautiful, and which one is not carefully dressed up, just hoping to come out on top and win the championship in one fell swoop?
This girl in butterfly clothes did the opposite. She wore plain clothes and a plain face. I don't know if it was "unique" or a complete mess.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the audience began to whisper.
In the private room on the second floor, Mei Wanyan also had a look of confusion on her face.
She knew that because of Sheng Yin's plea, Li Hongbi gave guidance to the girl in butterfly clothes and helped her win the first prize in the oiran competition.
But looking at this posture now, this girl in butterfly clothing is clearly showing off!
"Ms. sir, what the hell are you planning?"
Li Hongbi glanced at her and chuckled: "Then kiss me and I'll tell you!"
As soon as these words came out, Sheng Yin was immediately shocked.
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Mei Wanyan's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, she simply turned away and ignored this deceitful man.
At this moment, another group of people appeared on the stage. They were the most famous theater troupe in Jinling City, Liyuan Pan Jia Troupe.
Seeing them on stage, the audience below became even more confused.
What does this mean?
Isn't it possible for the lower class to perform on the same stage?
This is the Oiran Convention. What does the girl in Dieyi want to do?
The audience in the audience talked a lot, and it was extremely noisy for a while.
Mei Wanyan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Ms. sir, what is the "lower class"?"
"This is a distinction between social classes, upper, middle and lower."
Li Hongbi explained patiently.
"The first-rate Buddha is the second-rate heaven, the third-rate king is the fourth-rate official, the fifth-rate pavilion is the sixth-rate prime minister, the seventh-rate (Jinshi), the eighth-rate (the scholar) and the ninth-rate Yuan are the so-called upper-nine-rates."
"First-rate scholar, second-rate doctor, third-rate painter (painter), fourth-rate skin (shadow puppet), fifth-rate playing and singing, sixth-rate divination (divination and fortune-telling), seven-rate monks, eight-course and nine-level chess and harp, these are the so-called middle-nine-rate."
"The first-rate stage (actors), the second-rate blower (musician), the third-rate circus, the fourth-rate pusher, the fifth-rate pool, the sixth-rate back rub, the seventh-rate cultivator and the eighth-rate nine prostitutes, this is the final and lowest-rate nine-rate!"
"Most people who engage in low-level professions are of low status, so they are despised and looked down upon by others. They mainly rely on performing arts to make a living."
"Well, prostitutes also sell meat, so they are at the bottom of the queue, their status is the most humble, and their situation is the most pitiful."
Sheng Yin sighed after hearing this and stared blankly at Cheng Dieyi on the high platform.
Soon, the pipa strings started to play, and the audience fell silent.
The girl in butterfly clothes holds the pipa in one hand, and slides the other hand gently over the strings. She tilts her head slightly, her red lips part slightly, and there is infinite sadness in her eyebrows.
"When the play breaks, the sleeves rise and fall~"
"Singing joys and sorrows, separation and separation has nothing to do with me~"
As soon as the drama came out, the whole audience was shocked.
And Pan Jiaban behind her also started to move, performing a poignant scene.
This is a well-known actress, who is singing an opera on the stage. Onlookers gather around her, cheering and applauding her.
"The fans open and close, the gongs and drums sound and then fall silent~"
"Love is in the play and outside the play, who's to say~"
The mournful and plaintive voices continued, making everyone feel uneasy.
Before the actor finished singing, a group of tall, arrogant and violent barbarians suddenly appeared in the audience. They surrounded the entire stage and forced the actor to continue singing to them, otherwise they would kill the entire opera. Everyone on the team!
"That's...Tatar!"
Someone shouted lowly, and the audience was in an uproar.
When they took a closer look, they discovered that the clothes of the "barbarians" did indeed look like Mongolian Tatars.
However, whether they are Tartars or barbarians, what does this have to do with actors and prostitutes?
"I'm used to blending all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy into the ink, so what if the lyrics are sung through, the bones and ashes are all mine~"
The actress had no choice but to continue singing, but when she saw the barbarians casually killing people and even taking pleasure in killing people, her eyes turned red at some point, and there were even faint traces of tears.
The audience in the audience had already been fully absorbed in the performance, staring intently at the performance on stage.
"In troubled times, Duckweed can bear to watch the mountains and rivers being burned by beacon fire. I am humble and dare not forget about my country, even if no one knows me~"
With such a humble position, you dare not forget about your country?
I dare not forget about my country even though I am humble!
As if to verify the shocking words of the play, everyone saw the actor on the stage constantly winking at the stage leader and the others. The stage leader and others silently left with tears in their eyes, and even closed the doors and windows of the entire theater. Seems to be plotting something.
“When people in the audience walk by, they don’t see the old color~”
"The people on the stage are singing, a heartbreaking farewell song~"
The drama suddenly arises, generous and tragic.
As the gongs and drums sounded, all these barbarians crowded in the theater and listened in fascination. They did not notice that the stage leader and others had already fled, leaving only this graceful actor still performing.
"The word love is hard to write down, and her singing must be reconciled with blood~"
"Ah~"
There was a long and mournful cry, and the entire theater suddenly burst into flames. The fire spread quickly. The barbarians in the audience panicked and fled in all directions. However, the entire theater was sealed and they had nowhere to escape.
And the actress was still performing the last song of her life amidst the fire and smoke!
"I am deeply passionate but I regret being serious. When I look back, I will see an illusion. Who is on the other side~"
The girl in Dieyi's voice became more and more tragic, and the next moment she and the actor were completely integrated, and together they performed this shocking human tragedy.
The two women have exactly the same tone, writing a tragic song!
"When the play breaks, the sleeves rise and fall~"
"Singing joys and sorrows, separation and separation has nothing to do with me~"
"The fans open and close, the gongs and drums sound and then fall silent~"
"Love is in the play and outside the play, who's to say~"
"Have the habit of hiding all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in black and white~"
"So what if the lyrics can be sung~"
"The bones and ashes are mine~"
"In troubled times, duckweed endures and watches the flames of war burning mountains and rivers~"
"I dare not forget about my country despite my humble position~"
"Even if no one knows me~"
“When people in the audience walk by, they don’t see the old color~”
"The people on the stage are singing, a heartbreaking farewell song~"
"The word love is hard to write down~"
"Her singing must be reconciled with blood~"
"The curtain rises, the curtain falls, and we are all guests in the end~"
"After you sing, I will appear~"
"Don't laugh at romantic drama, don't laugh at people's absurdity~"
"I also asked about the youth and the yellow, and I also sang about the rise and fall~"
"The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, how can you think about it~"
"The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, it takes a lot of thinking~"
The girl in butterfly clothes in front of the stage was twirling the strings of the piano, and her voice was like complaining or crying.
The actor behind the stage danced gracefully in the sea of fire, singing with a generous and sad voice.
Finally, the song ended and came to an abrupt end.
The actor fell into the sea of fire and murmured softly.
"Everyone knows that actors are ruthless. How do you know that actors also have a heart?"
Later, he died of anger.
But those who were buried with her were all the barbarians in the theater.
She exchanged her life for the lives of dozens or hundreds of barbarian Tatars!
The audience in the audience was stunned and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
What's more, his face was already filled with tears and he was sobbing non-stop.
"I am so humble that I dare not forget about my country, even if no one knows about me?"
"I don't dare to worry about my country despite my humble position!"
"Well done!"
A noble prince stood up and shouted with a moving expression: "Everyone knows that actors are ruthless, but who knows the heart of an actor?"
"Even if they are just some actors and prostitutes, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the country in front of the blazing flames of the mountains and rivers. They don't even care whether anyone remembers her or whether their efforts are worth it!"
"Damn it, I have lived for most of my life, and for the first time I have seen what loyalty and patriotism are, and what the righteousness of our family and country is!"
"May I ask Miss Dieyi, what is the name of this song?"
Cheng Dieyi lightly opened his red lips and said, "This song was composed by Mr. Cao Shiliu, and it's called "Chi Ling"!"
""Chi Ling"? "Ling" is an actor, so this "Chi"..."
"This "chi" refers to the innocent heart!"
Cheng Dieyi smiled and said: "I would like to tell everyone with this song that no matter whether they are the children of princes or traffickers, they should all have a pure heart of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!"
"A woman is as loyal and brave as a son!"
"I can wear yellow decals in the mirror, or I can wear iron armor and wear cold light!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, followed by thunderous applause.
"Girl in Dieyi, thank you for your advice!"
The noble prince bowed to Cheng Dieyi solemnly. This scene shocked everyone present.
But then, one after another, the scholars stood up and bowed to Cheng Dieyi, even many celebrities and dignitaries did the same.
There is no way, this is not just a problem of courtesan, but a problem of political stance!
Cheng Dieyi is bound to win the first prize tonight!
Cheng Dieyi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, pretended to be calm and bowed gently, and then walked out.
But as soon as she stepped down with her front legs, the lanterns on her back legs were lit up one after another. They were densely packed and countless, at least hundreds of them, far more than the previous Qinghuan people.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Yin was so excited that he yelled at first, but then he thought of something again and sat down in his seat with a rather lonely expression.
Li Hongbi sighed when he saw this. There were some things that Sheng Yin had to make his own decision on.
But he didn't expect that his little daughter-in-law would burst into tears at some point.
"Ms. sir, are you that "Cao Shiliu"?"
"Ahem, don't tell anyone else!"
"..."
