Fu Qiuning thought to herself that this guy was the son of a mother-in-law, so he said impatiently: "Which kind of singing can't you do? Whatever, I still have the final say. In theory, I know more Yue opera songs."
Jin Fengju said: "The charm of Yue Opera is long and graceful. However, I feel that the tunes of Huangmei Opera are cheerful. Maybe the Queen Mother likes to listen to it more, so let's sing Huangmei Opera first. If you think about it carefully, which ones should you sing first?"
Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "What do you need to think about? You can just sing any part, and there is no music or anything." After finishing speaking, Jin Fengju claps the fan in his hand and said seriously: "Exactly, I just said that you There was something missing in the play, but it turned out to be a soundtrack. I was really confused. Thinking about it, how could it be called an opera without a soundtrack? But in this way, Qiuning, you will have to work hard again, and you will have to train a specialized The band…”
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qiuning was startled. His face changed color and he said, "What? Train a band? Please forgive me." It's not that she doesn't know how to write music, it's just that in this way, a band will be formed. She had to slowly compile the music scores for each scene by herself, and it would take her a year or a half to complete it. You know, it was not just the lyrics at that time, but also all the cut-scene music and transitional music. Looking back, even rearranging the music, what an amazing job it was? Not to mention four months, four years, how many plays can she make up? "
Jin Fengju smiled and said: "Indeed, you just learned the opera from that old lady, and you didn't learn the musical instruments in this opera. It doesn't matter. There are a few professional musicians in the palace who are very powerful. When the time comes, you can just sing and let them come up with the music. , it shouldn’t be difficult.”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the coachman outside say: "Little Marquis, the palace gate has arrived." Then the carriage slowly stopped, so Jin Fengju helped Fu Qiuning out of the car, entered the palace gate and walked for about a few miles, only holding the Fu Qiuning's legs were so tired that she couldn't walk as fast as Jin Fengju. It took her two quarters of an hour to walk before she saw a majestic palace in the distance. Jin Fengju smiled and said, "That's the Qingbi Palace. I want to come." The Emperor and Queen Mother are already waiting." After saying this, he took a few steps and the little eunuch in front of the palace saw them and rushed in to report them.
As soon as Jin Fengju and Fu Qiuning walked to the door, they heard loud singing in the courtyard: "Xuan Yushi Jin Fengju and his wife Fu have an audience." The voices came one after another, as if they were the guards standing on both sides of the courtyard approaching from a distance. The recent news reminded Fu Qiuning of those TV dramas he had watched in modern times, but such scenes all appeared in the Qiankun Hall or the Qinzheng Hall. The emperor summoned people outside the Meridian Gate. He did not expect that in such an ordinary palace inside. He even pretended to be an emperor. Fu Qiuning curled his lips inwardly and secretly thought that being an emperor is comfortable. It takes so many people to spread a word. No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor.
As the couple walked in and saw that they were still a few hundred steps away from the main hall, Fu Qiuning quietly asked Jin Fengju: "Are you the censor? Why didn't I know? Aren't you an official of the Hanlin Academy?"
Jin Fengju glanced at her, gritted his teeth and whispered: "But you don't care about anything about me. Who among other women doesn't remember their husband's official position? That is an honor. Only you, there is nothing else in your eyes." There is no one else for the children. I am afraid that in your heart, you care more about Yu Niang than me as your husband. I will be promoted to censor after this year, and I also mentioned it in front of you, but I forgot at this time. It’s all gone.”
Fu Qiuning smiled awkwardly and said: "Really? Maybe you mentioned it sometime, but I was busy with other things, so I didn't listen to the truth, otherwise I wouldn't be able to remember it." As he said that, he had already arrived in front of the main hall. However, Jin Fengju led her around the corridor to the backyard. In the exquisite courtyard, there was a tall and handsome guard every three steps. Only then did Fu Qiuning realize that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were both in the hall in the backyard.
Even though Fu Qiuning came from modern times and had met the emperor once before, at this time he had entered the palace after all. He felt a little drumming in his heart, so he followed Jin Fengju into the house and paid homage to him again. Then I heard a somewhat familiar voice say: "Forgive me the courtesy. This is not in the main hall or in the royal study. What are you doing with all the vulgar courtesy?"
Jin Fengju agreed and stood up with Fu Qiuning. Fu Qiuning still didn't dare to raise his head. He just glanced at the feet under the table and felt that there were more than just the emperor and the queen mother in this room. However, after thinking about it, Jin Fengju once said, and Some of the emperor's close veterans had once sung in front of juniors like them when they got addicted to drama, and they felt relieved, secretly thinking that the father-in-law and other close people sitting here were probably the ones sitting here.
The next moment, a kind voice was heard saying: "Is this Feng Ju's first wife? I have only seen his ordinary wife in daily life. I heard that this first wife is a girl from the Zhenjiang Prince's Palace, right? I have never seen him before. Raise your head and let Aijia take a look."
Fu Qiuning raised her head calmly and glanced around the room from the corner of her eye. What surprised her was that her grandfather and father were actually present. In addition, there were sounds of breathing and laughter coming from the side hall next to her. The slight coughing sound should be from the officials and nobles of the Ministry of Rites.
The Queen Mother looked at it for a while, then nodded and said with a smile: "You are quite dignified and elegant, worthy of Fengju. I heard that you were in poor health before, how about it? Are you well now?"
Fu Qiuning thought that this poor health was the perfect excuse. Really, it’s not like you don’t know the whole story, so why bother asking these falsehoods? But she didn't reveal anything on her face, and she replied respectfully: "To answer the Queen Mother's question, I used to be weak, so I usually didn't dare to go out and walk around. Over the years, I have relied on the young marquis to take care of me, and I have gradually improved. Now I have nothing to do with it." It’s serious.”
Jin Fengju smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself Qiu Ning, Qiu Ning, I love you from the bottom of my heart, why are you trying to bully me now? Don't think I am so thick-skinned, I will blush too. ah. While thinking about it, I heard the emperor say with a smile: "I have announced you today. Your husband must have told you the ins and outs and reasons. You first go to see your grandfather and father, and then sing a song for us, Feng Ju." It’s not easy to praise others, but you have praised your play to the highest level. The officials of the Ministry of Rites are also outside now. Let them listen together and see if your play can be a leader of the All Nations Civilization Association. .”
Fu Qiuning hurriedly said a few words of humility, and then stepped forward to meet his father and grandfather. Although they had smiles on their faces, they had doubts in their eyes. They were obviously at a loss as to when they had such a skill. .
Fu Qiuning has also been in a theater troupe before and has also sang on stage. What's more, when practicing an opera, the first and most important condition is not to have stage fright. Therefore, even though the Emperor and the Queen Mother were here, and no one else knew what it was like to be trembling, she was still generous and stood in the middle of the ground. After clearing her throat, she sang a piece of the heavenly song "The Husband and Wife Return the House." 》.
After the song was finished, the eyes of the Emperor and the Queen Mother were filled with light. The Queen Mother touched her palms and smiled happily: "The Ai family likes to listen to operas. From childhood to now, I don't know how many operas I have listened to. I think that there is no opera in the world without me. I don’t know, but now I know that this idea is really funny. Otherwise, the Ai family has never heard of such a beautiful play? No wonder Fengju is so confident, it is really melodious and beautiful, what the ancients said is circumventing Liang Sanri, now Aijia has seen it personally."
Fu Qiuning hurriedly said a few words of humility, and then the Queen Mother waved her hands and said, "It's not because the Ai family said good things for Fengju's sake. What do you say, Your Majesty?"
The emperor then smiled and said: "I heard it and thought it was very good. This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world? If it is used in this opera, it is not an exaggeration." After saying that, he turned to the side hall and said : "Have you all heard it, my dear friends? What do you think? This play may outperform the other heroes at the All Nations Civilization Conference, right?"
There seemed to be a burst of whispers outside, and then a loud voice said: "Returning to the emperor, this opera is touching and graceful. I have never heard of it. I think it is not difficult to win the first place in the World Civilization Association. There is just one thing. It is true." It's a little short. If there is an opera rehearsal at the All Nations Civilization Conference, it will take at least half an hour. Now it's not even half a quarter of an hour. I feel it is a pity."
"Well, that's true." The emperor nodded, but Jin Feng stepped forward and said: "Returning to the emperor, naturally any opera cannot be called a play with such a short paragraph. This was originally a play, but now Qiu Ning just picked a section to sing, and when the time comes, he can call in musicians to accompany it with music, and have the singing girl of the Jiaofang rehearse the entire play. At that time, it will not be difficult to surpass the others in skill."
The emperor's eyes flashed with brilliance as he stared at Fu Qiuning and said, "Mrs. Fu, as your husband said, is this a play?" Seeing Fu Qiuning nodding in agreement, he smiled and said: "Okay, then you can sing again A paragraph.”
Fu Qiuning had no choice but to think about it, and then sang the part of "The Fisherman Lives in the Middle of the Water". When he got to the line "We need to understand the geography and geography of the world, a man's aspirations are in all directions, all directions..." I heard the emperor clap his hands and applaud, and there were also applause from outside. In this era, what is important is for men to make contributions and have ambitions in all directions. This drama undoubtedly speaks to the thoughts of the men present.
At that moment, the emperor asked a few more questions from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and finally decided on the finale of the All Nations Civilization Association. Jin Fengju stepped forward and said: "In this case, as Qiu Ning's husband, I have no shirking responsibility. From tomorrow on, I will assist the adults in the Ministry of Rites and supervise Qiu Ning to rehearse this play. But now that it is almost dusk, I will Qiu Ning." Everyone in the mansion didn’t understand why I was rushed here to see you, but I wanted to go back to reassure them. Your Majesty, please allow me to retire at this point.”
