"Yes, closed disciple Lou Yunxian."
Lou Yunxian hurriedly saluted, looked up and down at the old man, his eyes full of love:
"Okay, okay, good boy."
"Today's meeting will be left to you, master and disciple. The meeting starts late, so I'll go to Dongshou Hall to eat some pastries to satisfy my stomach."
"yes."
He said he was asking for some cakes, but everyone knew that this was just a polite way of saying something to the old man and could not be taken seriously.
After the birthday celebrations were over, it was already close to noon. Their master and apprentice hurriedly entered the backyard and came to the stage to prepare for the performance and get busy.
By noon, when all the guests had arrived, the empty theater gradually turned from sparsely populated to bustling and lively.
Mr. Chao also got up from Rongshou Hall, and with the support of men, women and children from the court family, he walked through the garden and entered the Water Pavilion Theater.
This theater building has three floors of overlapping eaves, green tiles and red paint, and is built against the east wall. It occupies a quarter of the garden.
The left and right hand-painted corridors occupy the north and south courtyard walls, and the opera viewing pavilion facing west is built as a bridge and flying pavilion. The two ends connect the north and south banks of the Guanjiang Pond, which is exactly flush with the stage on the second floor. It is elegant and interesting to enjoy the opera through the flowers in the garden. .
"Congratulations to the old man Chao on his birthday. I wish you happiness as good as the East Sea and as long as the Southern Mountains."
This kind of auspicious words is like long live long live long live, long live long live, it just sounds good, don't worry about it.
The old man returned the greeting with a few words and waved his hand, and the troupe started with banging bangs and drums and babbling.
Birthday congratulations should be appropriate to the occasion!
When someone celebrates their birthday, you sing "Crock Grave", when someone has a grandchild, you sing "Guo Ju Buri'er", when someone gets married, you sing "Butterfly Lovers", no matter how good-tempered the host is, you will have to beat him out with a stick.
The Futang class is well-informed and knows that Mr. Chao is pampered. They have seen countless plays, and none of the words are probably new.
Simply take the common Peking Opera tune and write a new play "Fu Lu Xian Shou" for him!
This kind of play doesn't need to be elegant, as long as it's lively and auspicious, that's all.
In the opening scene, the Jade Emperor is sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, surrounded by fairy mist and goddesses, and all the immortals are pious.
Suddenly, the Jade Emperor saw colorful clouds in the east and said, "Where can there be colorful clouds in the world?"
The two generals, Humph and Ha, looked at each other happily:
"I have heard and witnessed that the Songjiang family prince has done good deeds and is kind and benevolent. I think that his birthday shocked the sky and showed him auspiciousness."
The Jade Emperor said again:
"Since he is a good person, God can praise him. He ordered the Three True Gods of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity to lead the Eight Immortals to the lower realms to congratulate him on his birthday and offer eight auspicious treasures to the old man."
"Receive the decree!"
In this way, the previous scene ends, and what is left is the congratulations of the Eight Immortals of Fortune, Luxury and Shou. Each immortal family must bring out rare treasures and say auspicious lyrics.
Cycling by category, such as walking around and watching the lights, being dazzled.
Even if the singing was not good, the auspicious meaning alone won over the whole house, and the opera theater was filled with thunderous applause and cheers.
While the people were singing, Yue and Song stood in the makeup pavilion on the third floor and looked into the distance. From the highest point, they could see the garden.
Looking left and right, the scenery in the garden is very beautiful, but I can't see what the problem is.
Lou Yunxian got off the stage, took off his costume, wore a white silk underskirt and took off his hair piece. Seeing that they were still watching, he couldn't help but be curious:
"Did you find anything?"
Song Siyuan shook her head in disappointment:
"If there is really an important place, there should be security guards everywhere. But now that there are no guards in the garden, we can't make up our minds."
"Look, let's not waste time. I'll ask you slowly tonight..."
Before Lou Yunxian finished speaking, there was a noise outside the dressing room:
"I went to the theater to visit my young master Chao. Please work harder and show your true skills."
Lou Wenliang's roar was said to be a compliment to Chao Linyuan, but the implication was to remind Song and Yue in the dressing room.
Song Siyuan hurried away from the window and pretended to remove her hair piece. Yue Guanchao kicked away the mess and started cleaning up on his own.
"These waiters are all waiting on the stage to collect reward money, and there is no one to clean up their things. It's really a waste of time."
Lou Yunxian deliberately kicked Yue Guanchao and acted arrogantly and angrily to show Chao Linyuan.
"Hey, who dares to inflict anger on our famous actor in the Liyuan?"
Chao Linyuan had been drinking foreign ink for several years. He held freshly picked flowers from the yard in his hands, tied them brightly and beautifully, and sent them to Lou Yunxian.
From the moment she arrived at Chao's house, she already knew she was going to set up a trap.
In the past few days, she has been hanging on Chao Linyuan, saying all kinds of things and teasing her. The young master of the Chao family thought she had figured it out, and was very courteous to her.
"Forget it, forget it, I won't say it anymore, so as not to spoil your interest."
"Why, why come backstage!"
Lou Yunxian went into the wardrobe to change, and when he came out, he put on a modern skirt and robe. His black hair was hanging down, and he opened the curtain with his beautiful hand, holding a thin cigarette!
Shit!
Chao Linyuan understood this and picked up the lighter to light a thin cigarette for her. The clouds and mist shrouded her, making her appear even more immortal.
"My grandfather and my father have organized a thank-you banquet for you. They are going to treat all the actors in your troupe to a meal. You must go and support them, and don't offend him."
Before Chao Linyuan finished speaking, Lou Yunxian deliberately frowned:
“In this kind of situation, it’s very boring to eat but not eat well and to speak but not understand.”
"How about you take me to a restaurant for dinner, and we can have a life of two?"
