Chengcheng County….
In the corner of the county town, there is a small Taoist group. The leader's surname is Zhang, so the name of this Taoist group is "Zhang Family Class".
There are two people in Zhang's class who are responsible for singing, four people who are responsible for dancing, and four people who play instruments, a total of ten people.
In good times, the Zhang family's Taoist team once became very popular. As soon as they set up, they would immediately be surrounded by spectators on three levels inside and three outside. After a Taoist performance, they had to collect some copper coins. Come.
The people in the team are not worried about life.
However, since the severe drought for three years, life in Zhangjiaban has become increasingly difficult.
By this year, the Daoqing team was completely out of control.
Every time there was a performance, there were only a few people in the audience, and they couldn't give a few copper coins as a reward. They didn't have enough to eat, so the Zhang family class had no choice but to go to the Jimin stage set up by the county magistrate Liang Shixian like ordinary refugees and hang out. Bowl of batter soup.
I don’t know when such days will end.
When he was worried that there was no way out, Team Leader Zhang unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance, Tan Liwen, at the place where he was receiving relief food.
Tan Liwen is an old audience member of the Zhang family class. In the past, every time the Daoqing troupe performed on stage, Tan Liwen would be in the audience. Even when the drought was the most difficult, he would come to watch, but in recent months, even He's not coming either.
Leader Zhang couldn't help crying when he saw Tan Liwen: "Mr. Tan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I used to see you supporting us in every play, but in recent months, I haven't seen you, and I am very worried about what happened to him."
Tan Liwen also sighed: "Thank you, Master Zhang, for thinking about me. I have failed despite repeated attempts. I know I have no talent, so I no longer dream of the imperial examination. I went to Gaojiacun a few months ago, became the third steward, and became the master." A master, he has been doing chores in Gaojia Village in the past few months and has not been able to return to the county to see Tao Qing."
Leader Zhang: "Gaojia Village? Oh, I often hear people mention this name recently. Many people go to Gaojia Village to get jobs. It seems like a wealthy family is building a lot of construction projects.
Tan Liwen smiled: "Yes, that's Gaojia Village. Leader Zhang, I came back to the county this time specifically to find you. I want to invite you to Gaojia Village to perform a Taoist performance in Northern Shaanxi.
After hearing this, Team Leader Zhang was stunned, thinking: Taoist groups like ours can usually only perform in lively places like county towns. If we go to a small village, how can anyone watch? Unless there is a big man in that small village who pays for the troupe to perform for any official or white events at home, and pays for the opening of the stage...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Which master invited us to perform?"
Tan Liwen smiled: "Don't you know it when you go? Anyway, your money is indispensable, so you still can't trust me, Tan Liwen?"
After hearing this, Team Leader Zhang looked down at the batter soup in his hand, sighed softly, and thought: That's okay! Even if Zhang Jiaban is in the county town and is a refugee begging for food, if he goes to the countryside to sing for the big boss, he can at least have enough to eat for two days.
Mr. Tan is a kind man and would not lie to us, a small grassroots team.
"In that case, let's take this trip."
So, the Zhang family troupe set off, bringing with them all the instruments, costumes, and props needed for the performance. Carrying them on their shoulders and hands, the ten-person troupe followed Tan Liwen and began a great adventure.
Leader Zhang immediately saw the majestic and majestic fort of Gaojiabao, as well as a large area of colorful and informal small houses around it. It was already evening, the sun was setting, the road construction sites had all finished, and the villagers who were farming were also taking a rest. Yes, even the reform-through-labor prisoners are on break time and have no work to do.
The group started at noon and walked until dusk, finally arriving at Gaojiacun.
So around Gaojiabao, there were people walking around after work and going home, and it looked very lively.
Leader Zhang was shocked: "This Gaojia Village is actually so lively? It's comparable to a small town."
Tan Liwen smiled: "Ordinary townspeople are not as rich as our villagers in Gaojia Village. Come on, I will take you to the stage.
He led the way and led the people from the Zhang family class into the "Gaojia Business District". There was a plastic stage here with an antique shape and it looked really luxurious and high-end.
The Zhangjia Troupe is just a "Grass Stage Opera Troupe", and the word "Grass Stage" in its name is not for nothing. In the past, they could only perform on a very simple wooden stage. This was the first time they saw a serious performance. , a luxurious stage.
All ten people in Zhang's class were frightened and a little frightened: "This... let us perform on such a luxurious stage?"
Tan Liwen: "Yes, we only have this stage in Gaojiacun."
Leader Zhang said a little timidly: "This...this stage...let's go up...it's not up to par, right?"
Tan Liwen: "Hi! I have watched many of your plays. You are definitely qualified. I highly recommended you. That's why Tianzun asked me to invite you over. Don't act like a coward and sing away. Tiao, causing me, the introducer, to be embarrassed in front of Tianzun."
Leader Zhang had no choice but to cheer up: "Thank you very much, Mr. Tan, for your recommendation. Who is he, Tianzun?"
Tan Liwen: "I'll figure it out gradually. Don't think so much now. Get ready for the show. Tonight, I'll show you my famous Taoist drama for Tianzun and his elders."
Leader Zhang looked up at the sunset: "It's already getting late. It's time to start preparations. By the time we're ready to perform, it's already getting late. Everyone should go to bed, right?"
"It doesn't matter!" Gao Yiye suddenly came out from the side and said with a smile: "Tianzun just issued a decree. Don't worry about whether it's dark or not. His old man is bored in the sky and urgently needs to find some fun. You guys That's what Northern Shaanxi Province is about. Get ready immediately."
Li Daoxuan is really boring. Although the box is very lively during the day and there are attractions everywhere, once it gets dark, the ancients "roost at sunset" and the entire box will enter a "non-still picture".
But as a modern person, it is impossible for him to go to bed at sunset. He has to stay up until 24 o'clock. The time difference in between is really super boring. Now that he finally has a new thing, there is no reason not to watch it.
In particular, what this opera troupe performs is not an ordinary opera, but a special opera called "Northern Shaanxi Dao Qing", which Li Daoxuan has not seen yet.
"Yiye, inform the villagers that a troupe is coming to perform the love story of Northern Shaanxi."
Gao Yiye responded and went happily. She was actually quite happy to see a show. She had only heard about Northern Shaanxi Daoqing since she was a child, but had never actually seen it. She jumped up and down and said, "There is a show to watch." "
Tan Liwen smiled at Leader Zhang and said, "The Holy Lady looks very happy, you should hurry up and get ready!
