The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 149: The big show
Zhao Yunchu helped Yun Yanhui to bring back the two buckets of bastards. Zheng Ping was about to faint when she saw it, and pointed to several newly delivered buckets in the yard and said, "I'll just say why someone sent these things. Come on, why did you buy so many turtles?"
It's enough to keep a green-haired turtle. What do these ordinary turtles keep? It's not that they are not allowed to be raised. What's the point of raising so many?
Zheng Ping didn't see how much her son liked turtles, so it was even more strange.
"It's making money, Aniang." Yun Yan returned to instruct Zhao Yunchu to help him put all the turtles in the tank.
"Making money?" Zheng Ping was a little suspicious. She was very suspicious of how the tortoise made money. If someone else said it, she would definitely not believe it, but if it was her son, she believed it 90% of the time.
Ever since he was a child, Brother Yan has known to generate income for the family, raising chickens in the bamboo forest, and bringing his brothers to sell mills and drink music. They are all very smart.
So, since Yun Yanhui said it was making money, Zheng Ping believed it, and thought it was reasonable.
"Auntie, when will your store open?" Yun Yan asked with a smile, "I'll give you some advice."
As soon as she mentioned her nail salon, Zheng Ping became more and more excited, "I've already figured it out, the seventh day of next month is an auspicious day, so we'll choose to open on that day." She continued, "Now I'm hiring a dance team in the classroom. Well, you and the first brother just happened to show me the details, and are hesitating whether to ask the Yutuhundui team or the beautiful woman to cut the peony team."
Originally, when a store opened, there wouldn't be so many activities. It was Yun Yan's idea for them to make it a little more lively. He said that our signboards are all written by the official family, and if the scene is not made a little bigger, wouldn't it make the official family look dull?
The literature and art of the Song Dynasty can be developed. There are many dance teams in the classroom, and the division of labor is clear. Each team has its own fixed program. Naturally, the names are also various, and many are named according to the content of the dance.
Swords teams, drunk Huteng teams, etc., are obviously sword dancers and huteng dancers, and the Bodhisattva offering incense team has a strong Buddhist color.
The Jade Rabbit Huntuo team and the Beauty Cut Peony Team mentioned by Zheng Ping represent the dances "Jade Rabbit Huntuo" and "Beauty Cut Peony".
The former is an exotic dance that was introduced to the Central Plains from Qiuci during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It has been adapted by Song people and is often performed in the court. The latter is a court dance handed down from the Tang Dynasty, named after the dancer holding a peony.
The two dances are both beautiful and dazzling, which are easy to attract the onlookers.
Actually, Zheng Ping prefers the latter. Peony is something that people like to see. She has thought about it, she can go to the Daxiangguo Temple to order flowers - since there are only vegetables in the greenhouse in Kaifeng Mansion.
Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu said in unison: "Choose Yutu and leave the team!"
Zheng Ping wondered, "What's wrong?"
Yunyan smiled back, "I called Zhou Shuiniang for you, what could be more compatible than 'Jade Rabbit' and 'Chang'e'?"
The princess is not short of money, and Yun Yanhui also gave Zheng Ping a sum of money. They also built a pool next to their storefront, which was prepared for summer to cool off, and in summer, they will install a fan device. As for now, want Yunyan to say back, just to set up a water stage temporarily in the middle. Because he suggested to make the stage bigger, the problem of the natural venue should also be solved together.
As soon as Zheng Ping heard it, she immediately understood. Now Zhou Shuiniang has a very stable position in Bianjing City, and belongs to the group of artists with the highest income. She cooperates with the dance team of Jiaofang, which is a new attempt, and it will definitely increase the popularity of both parties.
"Of course it's impossible to specialize in many new programs for one opening, so we have to innovate and achieve different effects with the same money." Yun Yan raised her eyebrows, "Not only is Xiao Chang'e If you want to cooperate with Yutu Huntuo, the other people you invite have to be flexible. For example, brother Zhang Shanren, I will invite him to sing."
This talking artist is often narrated and sung. Zhang Shanren is extremely skilled, or he is the number one person in the industry. Many people say that his singing is no worse than that of a professional singing artist. Every time he sang, the applause was very loud. When Yunyan returned this time, he asked him to sing on stage.
Zheng Ping immediately understood what he meant. "And the usual partners, you can also ask them to change roles, right?"
"That's what it means!" This kind of program, even in modern times, is also very popular, giving people a sense of novelty and subversion, and people can't help but get excited.
A lot of times, even if the actor's performance is not very good, the effect is amazing, the atmosphere will be very good, it is very suitable for such occasions.
It is conceivable that after this show, Tokyo City will be able to discuss the first half of the month, and the name of Yusunhong must be promoted together, which is worth the money.
The more Zheng Ping thought about it, the more she understood, and the smile spread all over her face.
"Well... But, there is still a problem, which is this big axis. Which one should it be?" .
"Actually, I thought about it for you a long time ago." Yun Yan smiled back to the thief.
Zheng Ping and Zhao Yunchu were very curious, but Yun Yanhui refused to answer, which made Zheng Ping annoyed. He grabbed his ear and insisted that he speak out, so he had to lower his voice and tell the two of them.
The two of them listened, and the shock lasted for a long time!
After a long time, Zheng Ping touched Yun Yan's head and said, "You kid, I don't know who you are following... How did you come up with this."
Zhao Yunchu held back for a while, then said, "You dare!"
"Otherwise, how can this be qualified to be a big-screen drama?" Yun Yan said with her hands on her hips, "Auntie, if your shop is not an instant hit, there is no reason for it!"
"Isn't that true? You have invited this person out." Zheng Ping said with emotion.
……
In the blink of an eye, Yusunhong opened its doors.
Because of the fact that the Eight Kings' family has been widely used recently, and their status has risen, this shop opened by the princess naturally attracted many noble ladies and clansmen to join in. There was no room to sit in the shop, and the restaurant opposite was also packed.
The decoration inside Yusunhong is a private room, the area is large or small. According to the meaning of the princess, they provide not only manicure, but also in-store manicures. It takes a long time to do a manicure, and it is natural to invite friends and friends. , it is better to chat while beautifying. Including various additional services, such as resident performers, food and beverages, etc., they are also ready.
Open the windows and curtains, and you can watch the performance on the stage outside the window.
Before the performance started, there were already a lot of people crowded outside, and everyone from Kaifeng Mansion came to maintain order. Of course, the guards of the mansion were also there, they were just assisting.
These people have heard that there are many famous artists here today who will perform on stage. Like Zhou Shuiniang and the others, with their current worth, let alone free viewing, there are not many opportunities to spend money to see them. weight up.
Singing, puppet show, talking, drama...
Zhang Shanren, Zhou Shuiniang, Sun Sansi, Daxiangguo Temple lay monk, Yutu Huntuo team...
All big names!
All of the top artists in Bianjing!
On weekdays, one is the finale or the bottom line, but now all of them are on stage, how can people not expect this one?
Not to mention the signboard—the signboard, this is the most important thing. This is written by the royal family of the official family. Don't you think that many scholars are still there to taste it? In the eyes of the citizens of Bianjing, this nail salon is going to shine with gold.
Zheng Ping and the princess were very busy with the reception. Yun Yanhui was also very busy negotiating with the actors backstage, and from time to time he had to deal with friends who came to cheer him on.
As for the backstage artists, they all hang out in one place and basically know each other.
The people outside were muttering with excitement, and they were also muttering with excitement. Because they don't know who will be the last to appear today.
You look at me, I look at you, ask each other, but no one knows.
Even Zhang Shanren is just the opening scene. Who is this last person?
Who is eligible for this?
Everyone is evaluating each other in their hearts, and each has a conclusion, but they are not sure.
They all wanted to ask, but when Yun Yan returned to that guy, no one would say anything. Because he wanted to keep it mysterious, he wasn't sure if anyone would leak the news. In this play, surprises were the most important thing.
When the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers were set off outside. Zhang Shanren came to the stage, and Quan was the emcee. First, he introduced him to everyone, and then he said auspicious words. Finally, he gave a salute, indicating that he was going to perform.
A mouthful, but it's not a familiar joke, he--he's singing a chorus!
The audience below the stage was shocked at first, and then there was a thunderous applause.
As for those noble ladies, they don't quite understand it. Although they understand the play, they are not very interested in Zhang Shanren, and they have not gone to the Washe to listen to his slander. In contrast, male audiences were more excited.
However, they could understand the latter program, because it was Yutu Huntuo and Zhou Shuiniang. Both of them were very famous, and they even cooperated. However, from the name, they were very compatible.
One is dancing like a jade rabbit, and the other is Xiao Chang'e.
Zhou Shuiniang danced the Jade Rabbit Muddy Dance with them first, which was refreshing. I only felt that Zhou Shuiniang had a solid foundation, and this dance was no worse than the dance team.
In the second half, Yutu Hun who left the team danced for Zhou Shuiniang and danced her famous dance, just like Xian'e and Yutu of Guanghan Palace accompanied Chang'e.
……
With one show after another, the crowd's slaps are about to become popular.
Today is really worth it, to see so many famous artists either acting together, or collaborating across borders, everyone makes people want to applaud, and they are so excited that they are shaking.
Many people do not understand why they are so excited, but vaguely feel that they are witnessing history.
It is not difficult to imagine that in the future large-scale events, if there are not one or two performances of similar nature, I am embarrassed to say that it will be done well.
The closer it gets to the end, the more people look forward to it.
Whether it was the onlookers, or the princes and nobles who came to cheer, they all began to guess, what will this last show be?
In the eyes of countless people, the finale actor bowed and stepped off the stage. They responded with warm applause, and then stared at the stage. It's not just them, the actors who have come down are also watching.
Who is it?
Under everyone's attention, a monk dressed in a monk's robe took the stage unhurriedly.
Many people have guessed when they think about today's program: Zhang Shanren sings a play, and there are no other talk shows behind it, and now there is a monk, so the bottom line is a common saying?
The monk's beard and hair are all white, his face is charitable, and his clothes are simple.
--a group of people already recognized this person, their eyes widened, a little guessing, but they couldn't believe it!
Is it him?
It's him?
How could it be him!
The next moment, the old monk smiled slightly, and fluttered out a self-introduction that instantly set off the audience: "The name of the old man is clear, he is the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple..."
