Qingyan Tower, one of the sixteenth floors of Jinling. The county building looks leisurely, and the graceful Jinping is open. The jade wrist has red sleeves, and the jade goblet is green. The scene is uneven, and the scene is far away from Fuai. Today's crazy singer, new poems and fine-tuning. The Qingyan Building has a high foundation and heavy eaves, with Ling Juechen on the top, the building is spacious and elegant, and it is a place where the children of the rich and powerful often gather.
Tang Xianzu is just a man, even if his family is rich, it is impossible for him to go in and out of this kind of place often. When Ye Xiaotian saw the appearance of this light smoke building, he knew that what Tang Xianzu said earlier was true. His friends must be either rich or poor in Nanjing. The son of a noble family.
However, Ye Xiaotian doesn't want anything from these people, since everyone is like-minded friends who get together because of the same hobby, then just get along as friends.
Tang Xianzu took Ye Xiaotian up to the second floor with ease, and when they arrived at a spacious place, they saw seven or eight young people all sitting at the banquet, drinking and having fun, and having fun. There was a big square red carpet in front of them, and there was a person on the carpet Singing.
There are four roles in Yuan Zaju: Dan, Mo, Jing, and Chou. Dan roles are divided into Zhengdan, Waidan, Xiaodan, Dadan, Laodan, Chadan, and Tiedan. The end includes Zhengmo, Xiaomo, Chongmo, Fumo, Waimo, and Fumo, which are mainly sung by male actors. The net is clowns and comedians, and miscellaneous is actors other than the above three categories.
Now the one who is singing the opera is Zheng Mo, upon hearing the words, Ye Xiaotian, a seasoned opera fan, knew that this was singing "Han Palace Autumn". Those who were drinking and having fun saw Tang Xianzu coming, but they didn't get up, they just waved to him with a smile.
Tang Xianzu said to Ye Xiaotian: "Come on, let's listen first."
The two sat down behind a wine table, the waiter probably got the order early, and without waiting for anyone to ask, he brought a table of wine and food, Tang Xianzu poured himself a glass, and smiled at Ye Xiaotian: "You are welcome, my friends are all loose Really, you just listen to the opera and drink, don't pay attention to them."
After finishing speaking, Tang Xianzu turned to a young man next to him, and introduced loudly: "This is a friend I just met, named Ye, who is also good at singing." The young man smiled and nodded to Ye Xiaotian, and raised his head He waved his hand to say hello, and still tapped his knees, shaking his head and humming along with the rhythm of the opera.
Ye Xiaotian was born as a commoner, and he never paid much attention to those cumbersome etiquettes. Since he entered the officialdom, he has to pay attention to them. Now seeing these people are so willful, he feels that he is in harmony with him, so he sits down next to Tang Xianzu, pours himself a drink, Listening to music is fun.
After that Zhengmo finished singing and stepped aside, Ye Xiaotian knew that this person was not an actor, but one of Tang Xianzu's friends, when he was excited to go out to drink and accept criticism from others, Tang Xianzu said to Ye Xiaotian: " This man's surname is Zhang, Zhang Hongyan, and he is the third son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War in Nanjing."
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help being moved when he heard this, Tang Xianzu's friends are indeed either rich or noble, and this person is actually the son of a Shangshu family. Mr. Zhang Hongxuan picked up a glass of wine, walked towards Ye Xiaotian with a smile, and said: "This friend has a tense face, is it the first time you're here?"
Tang Xianzu smiled and said: "This friend is from Guizhou, his surname is Ye, and he is also good at singing."
"Mr. Zhang!" Ye Xiaotian wanted to get up and cup his hands. Zhang Hongyan put his hands on his shoulders, pushed him to sit down, and said carelessly: "Sit and sit, just do whatever you want. Brother Ye Xiandi is from Guizhou?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "No, my brother has only been in Guizhou for two years, and he lived in the capital before."
"Oh?" Zhang Hongyan's eyes lit up, and he said, "He's from the north? If you want to talk about this zaju, it has to be the most authentic song from the north. Come on, come on, show your skills."
Ye Xiaotian declined and said: "Just now I heard brother Zhang sing a section, the foundation is so profound, I am absolutely incomparable, little brother, so don't make a fool of yourself."
Where did Zhang Hongyan agree, and said: "You're welcome, since you're here, you must sing a verse. Come on, let's sing a chorus, um... let's sing "Wu Tong Yu". Brother Kuai, You are good at cross-dressing female voices, you will play Yang Guifei. I will play Tang Minghuang. Brother Tang, you can play Yang Guozhong, pillow flower, pillow flower, stop drinking, you play Gao Lishi, hurry up, look at your virtue, look alive Tuo is a eunuch..."
Tang Xianzu shook his head and said with a smile: "Since the founding of the country, there have been few operas that can be achieved. They are still the few dramas of the Yuan Dynasty. One day, I have to write a few dramas that can be handed down to future generations. Here comes the show..."
While talking, he stood up and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Okay, brother, don't be too polite, these friends are gentlemen, and they have nothing to do in their free time, except for being obsessed with opera. Come on, let's Let's sing together."
Ye Xiaotian couldn't refuse, but fortunately he was familiar with the play, so he stood up and acted together with them. Ye Xiaotian played the role of An Lushan. In this play, apart from Tang Minghuang, An Lushan and Concubine Yang played the most important roles. , the Jing brother who played the role of Concubine Yang was coy, with a false voice and a soft voice, very devoted. Ye Xiaotian saw that he was so relaxed, so he no longer hesitated, and played the scene of An Lushan molesting Concubine Yang Guifei and the two of them hooking up into adultery vividly.
Several other people watched the two cooperate and stopped singing several times. Fortunately, they were just for self-entertainment, and they were not afraid of some spectators throwing the melon seed teapot up and shouting "refund". Everyone laughed and sang the play , already like a very familiar friend.
Those few people praised Ye Xiaotian for singing well, everyone discussed and commented, drank for a while and sang a play, when the accountant left the restaurant, he was already very drunk. Ye Xiaotian is a newcomer, so he still drinks moderately, although he is a little dizzy, he is more sober than them, so he carried Tang Xianzu and staggered downstairs.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the third floor, just as a few young masters in jade belts and brocade robes came down from the upstairs. He stopped, and the person in front of his head showed a look of contempt and said: "Zhang Hongyan, Qiao Zhenhua, it really is you guys. I heard someone crying and howling upstairs just now. I thought it was someone."
This man was dressed in a jade green robe, with a square scarf on his head, with a slender figure, red lips and white teeth, he was actually a rare handsome man, but the corners of his mouth were always slightly curled up, and his arrogance could not be concealed.
Zhang Hongyan looked at him with drunken eyes, curled his lips and said, "Oh, who am I? It turns out to be the young master. I'm rude, I'm rude. There are young talents like the young master guarding for everyone in this country. When you have nothing to do, you will naturally have fun, haha... "
The man's face darkened, and he went downstairs proudly like a proud peacock, and hummed lightly: "A bunch of dudes, get out of the way!"
Zhang Hongyan was so drunk that he was swaying non-stop. When the young man in the green robe walked up to him, he covered his nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and immediately grabbed someone from behind, and pushed Zhang Hongyan aside, saying: " Get out of the way, good dogs out of the way."
"You... what a fucking air you are, flattering villain, no matter how much you flatter me, can you still become a little prince. Hehe, the little prince is amazing, isn't it just that he has a great ancestor..."
The man who pushed him away looked back angrily, and was about to yell at him when the young man said flatly, "What are you fussing about with a drunk?" , Said: "What the little prince said is that you have to care about them, you don't have to lower your status as the little prince, please slow down..."
Tang Xianzu was helped downstairs by Ye Xiaotian, hiccupped and said: "Then... that person is the young master of Wei Guogong's family, and the cheeky one who flattered... is the son of Rui Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice..."
Ye Xiaotian also knew that among the heroes of Ming Dynasty, Duke Wei Xu Da's lineage was the most outstanding. The Xu family has always been the most trusted by Zhu Ming's royal family, and has a huge influence. It can be called the first family of heroes. Unexpectedly, that Yushan The son is the young master of the Xu family, and he is really a talent.
Ye Xiaotian didn't care about this skirmish, a few people went downstairs, all of them were drunk, obviously unable to ride a horse, the servants guarding outside saw this, hurriedly went to get a Roman cart, At this moment, a blind man suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Hongyun, holding a broken bowl in his hand, and begged, "Gentleman, please give me a little money."
Zhang Hongyan was about to pay out with drunk eyes, but was stopped by Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian looked the blind man up and down, and teased: "Brother, you are too careless to pretend to be blind, although you are not really blind, but when you walk, this blind stick should be on the ground a few times." Let’s pretend. Also, you flashed out like a ghost, it’s scary, don’t you know that? Look at your eyes, they’re rolling up like this, you’re crying, close your eyes Can't you pretend to be blind?"
The blind man was scolded by Ye Xiaotian, and immediately became angry from embarrassment, the whites of his upturned eyes returned to normal, and he said angrily: "Damn, if you have money, you will be rewarded with a few pennies, if you have no money, you will be fucked, there is no need to humiliate people like this." Is it? Being a beggar also has self-respect."
Ye Xiaotian sneered and said: "You have self-esteem? Look at you. You have no shortage of hands or feet. You have a strong body and a red face. You can't support yourself by doing anything. You want to be a beggar who gets something for nothing. You still have self-esteem ?”
Hearing their quarrel, Zhang Hongyan realized that he was almost being fooled, and said angrily, "Damn it, you lied to me. I'll see if I don't slap your mouth!" He staggered forward, and the beggar Look, run away.
Zhang Hongyan was drunk, and was still arguing and swearing. Suddenly, some ragged people came to him to beg for money and food. Zhang Hongyan said angrily: "Get out! Get out! You guys Damn liar, just now that person still held up a broken bowl, you...you don't even have a bowl, and you still want to lie to me."
Ye Xiaotian looked at the disheveled beggars, his face gradually became serious, when he saw Zhang Hongxuan raised his hand to beat him, Ye Xiaotian stopped him and said: "Brother Zhang, don't do anything, this time these few, I'm afraid People who really have no livelihood."
Zhang Hongyan's drunken eyes were hazy, and he slurred his speech: "Why... how do you see it?"
Ye Xiaotian pointed forward and said, "Look!"
Zhang Hongyan raised his eyes and saw a large number of refugees coming to support the old and the young on the long street.
