Views:

The gongs and drums were still on the stage, and Zhao Yunchu had already exploded into fireworks under the stage. After the whole play, he didn't say a word, and was in a daze. Looking back at Yun Yan, he was very leisurely and didn't look uncomfortable.

This "Liu Bei Crossing the River" is very popular. Since the launch of Bian Opera, there are also troupes who follow this format and sing Bian Opera. However, it is not as good as Kong Ji's preparation for many years, nor is it like Pu Guanze, who is wealthy and willing to spend money Production, audio-visual effects are excellent.

In normal times, there would be no flower baskets left during the show, but this time, when the show was about to end, there were not many flower baskets.

However, this is not because everyone thinks it's bad, on the contrary, it's because the show is so good that all the audience are so obsessed with it that they don't even have time to buy flower baskets.

When the curtain came to an end, the actors came out to call the curtain, and a large number of flower baskets were sent up. The applause lasted for a long time without stopping. The audience was very excited for this wonderful performance.

Although this drama of the Three Kingdoms did not play the full version tonight, it was only a three-fold performance, but in terms of effect, it did not lose the good reputation under the foreshadowing of "Wang Qingyu" at all, and even had a faint meaning of surpassing. , it can be said to further consolidate the status of Bian opera.

At this time, the actors of the troupe pulled Kong Ji out of the side curtain with tears in their eyes and accepted the applause together. The one who came to the stage this time and "Wang Qingyu" are two teams, and they are both holding back their energy. They are afraid that they will not be able to compare with "Wang Qingyu", they are afraid of being embarrassed, and they are afraid that the audience will not like them.

The applause of the audience now is their greatest affirmation. How difficult is it for an artist to make a name for himself in Bianjing? This drama can save them ten years of struggle, which is all thanks to Kong Ji. Kong Ji can use any artist, they are different.

Yun Yan returned to the stage and kept applauding. In fact, he was not as obsessed with opera as other audience members, but the actors' exquisite control of voice and body still made him feel shocked. What's more, there is the creativity of Kong Ji contained in it.

The entire cast and crew of "Liu Bei Crossing the River" took a full quarter of an hour to return to the backstage with enthusiastic applause.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu also went to the backstage to congratulate him. He also bought a flower basket with money, carried it to the backstage, and gave it to Kong Ji himself.

Kong Ji teased and said, "This is also called fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields."

The crowd laughed.

Kong Ji thought of something, pulled Yun Yan aside, and said hesitantly, "Brother Yan, I hope to accept more students."

Take more students? However, there are already a lot of people in the class now.

Yun Yanhui glanced at Kong Ji with a little surprise, but she turned around in her heart and guessed a bit, "Why, do you want to carry forward the Bian opera?"

I have to say that Yun Yanhui was very surprised. According to the concept of artists in the arena at this time, the craftsmanship cannot be passed on. At present, there are so many people in the troupe, but there are not many formal disciples.

Knowing that this concept is deeply ingrained, and Bian opera is Kong Ji's hard work, Yun Yanhui did not suggest that Kong Ji should accept disciples.

Now, Kong Ji actually offered to accept the apprentice, how could Yun Yan not be surprised.

Kong Ji said with emotion: "After the success of "Wang Qingyu", I also fell into confusion and couldn't ask people to learn our drama. However, after I visited all the tiles in Beijing, I suddenly realized that this is a problem. It wasn't my original ambition. What I hoped at the beginning was to sing the tunes of all the palaces all over the world, but now, I treasure myself..."

Yun Yan felt something in her heart and said, "Old Kong, it's amazing that you can think like this now. You deserve to be the ancestor of Bian Opera, you have to have such a style!"

After the sudden popularity, Kong Ji was lost for a while, but now, he is enlightened again. Such an open mind is really rare in this era, and Yun Yanhui admires it very much.

Kong Ji looked back at Yun Yan very embarrassedly, "Do you want to support me? If I really spread Bian opera to more people, will Pu Guanze's business be affected..."

"Why don't I support you?" Yun Yan replied with a smile, "I will explain it clearly to everyone. After such a period of publicity, the status of Pu Guanze and Kong Jiaban has been established, and everyone wants to hear the best in the future. , The most authentic Bian opera is still pointed here. And more people singing Bian opera will expand its influence, spawn more famous actors in troupes, and make the market more prosperous. The most important thing is that you don't Forget, our real big boss is the king of a country. When Pu Guanze is rich, he is rich, and when all the troupes are rich, isn't he rich?"

Kong Ji woke up in an instant, rubbing his palms and laughing: "That's right! It's what I thought about it, I really care about the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

After listening to Yun Yanhui's words, Kong Ji no longer had any worries in his heart, and was determined to be a pioneering master, to carry forward Bian opera, and to teach it widely.

So, next, as "Liu Bei Crossing the River" spread all over the capital, it was news that Kong sent a wide range of disciples, not employees, but real apprentices, and they would receive a lot, and people with foundations in other groups were welcome Come.

Many people who sang and performed zaju were stunned and had no idea why Kong Ji was doing this. When they met this unprecedented broad-minded person, they wondered if there was something strange behind him.

Faced with these doubts, Kong Ji quoted Yun Yanhui's words, their big boss is the official family!

A thousand words, all in it.

No one doubted it now, so I wished to go to Pu Guanze to worship immediately, for fear that I would not be able to worship one step too late.

Kong Ji's pioneering work was still talked about many years later. He created Bian opera, more widely accepted disciples, and taught stunts without any reservations, which is admirable.

In the decades after this, the Bianjing opera circle was almost a blowout, with a large number of classic plays emerging and radiating across the country. Countless talented artists learned the essence from them and evolved various local operas. Bian opera has truly become the ancestor of hundreds of operas!

Let's talk about Yun Yanhui's crown ceremony. After understanding the divination, the date is set after the beginning of the next year.

This crown ceremony, in many areas today, is not very grand, and even guests are not invited. There are also some low-key people who don't do it with much fanfare, thinking that this is a matter of their own house.

But Yun Yanhui's crown ceremony had to be handled. This is the suggestion that Zheng Li and Zheng Ping exchanged. The crown ceremony is the traditional etiquette of the Han nationality. Yun Yanhui is of mixed Miao and Han blood, and his father is of the Miao nationality. Therefore, in some respects, this crown ceremony must be done, but also It's a big deal.

Because the father's clan was of the Miao ethnic group, there was no male clan elders who could help complete the ceremony, so Yun Yanhui's crown ceremony was still happily contracted by the Zheng family. Zheng Li also wanted to be the guest of honor for Yun Yanhui, but was unable to do so.

At the end of the year, Bao Zheng officially became the deputy prime minister, and he took the initiative to apply to be the official guest. No matter in terms of morality or social status, there is nothing to say about Bao Zheng being the official guest. Originally, if he hadn't applied, Yun Yanhui wanted to invite the Eighth Prince, who was also highly respected.

This praiser who has assisted Zhengbin to crown the champion is undoubtedly Zhao Yunchu.

In addition, there are three people in the division, and Xiaobao, Zheng Ling, and Shen Kuo are the ones who are responsible for assisting from the side, carrying dishes and so on.

There are many children in the Zheng family, and it is very handy to hold the crown ceremony. If they are in charge, there is no need to worry about it. Before the crown ceremony, there were still people who came to explain to Yun Yan the steps of the day, the position and so on.

Zhengbin, Zanzhe, Yousi and other people, like Yun Yanhui, stayed at Zheng's house a day earlier.

This crown ceremony should not only divination the date, but also the time.

When the time comes, the Zheng family will prepare all the utensils used for crowning, and Yun Yanhui also bathes and changes clothes to welcome the guests. On this day, the Zheng family needless to say, many friends of Yun Yanhui also came to watch the ceremony, and even Chen Lin was ordered to come to watch the ceremony.

This proved that Zheng Li was right in thinking, and Yun Yanhui's crown ceremony should be more than half. Moreover, the official family sent people to watch the ceremony, which also means that in the future, others should not talk about Yun Yanhui's bloodline - of course, no one dares to say that now, people who care about his bloodline are helping him hold the crown ceremony.

When the crown ceremony began, Zhao Yunchu first combed Yun Yan's hair back.

Yun Yan's return was fine, but she felt that Zhao Yunchu's hand was shaking a little, so she stretched out her hand and patted Zhao Yunchu justly. Zhao Yunchu was startled, and with a trembling, he pulled Yun Yanhui's hair.

Yun Yan leaned back and saw that the relatives and friends on the side were all nervous, so she quickly supported herself with her hands and whispered: "You stabilize me, why are you nervous!"

"Does it hurt? It hurts?" Zhao Yunchu was about to cry, "I'm just... nervous..." It was also the fault of the Zheng family for making the crown ceremony more solemn. Everything was done according to the ancient etiquette, and Zhao Yunchu had no experience.

Yun Yan replied: "...you just don't comb it!"

That's why Zhao Yunchu is sincere. This is a symbolic etiquette. Zhao Yunchu also combed his hair seriously.

After the admirer combs his hair, the guest will be crowned three times. According to the ancient etiquette, the first time is a cloth crown, the second time is a leather cover, and the third time is a jue cover.

Bao Zheng took the cloth crown from the tray held by Zheng Ling, crowned Yunyan Hui, and recited the congratulatory speech: "Let the moon be auspicious, start with Canadian dollars, discard the small words of Er, Shun Er Chengde..."

If it is three plus, toast to take the word.

The Book of Rites says "Young name, prefix", after a man turns 20, he will be crowned and added, and friends will no longer call him by name, but by name. There are also various kinds of attention to this character. Generally, there is a relationship between the name and the character, and they are inside and outside each other.

Bao Zheng was invited to be the official guest, and he was naturally prepared. He retrieved the word for Yun Yan, which was the word "chasing the wind".

Yun Yan glanced back at Zheng Ping's face, and was somewhat relieved.

Yunyan returned the name because Father Yun never returned back then, and Zheng Ping hoped that Hongyan would send back the book day and night, hence the name.

Bao Zheng took the word "chasing the wind", and then changed his vision and became Yunyan chasing the wind. The whole name became high-spirited, with a positive and enterprising meaning, and the surname, first name and character were very close.

After adding the crown and taking the word, Yun Yanhui officially became an adult, and greeted all relatives and friends, and from now on everyone can match the wind.

When Yunyan returned to see Zheng Ping, Zheng Ping stroked his head and seldom burst into tears, "The ancients said that a crown is an adult, although my son is crowned today, he was the eldest son very early and took care of me when I was in bad health. Home affairs. Your father is in the spirit of heaven... I will probably close my eyes too."

Yun Yanhui wanted to hug Zheng Ping very much, he squeezed Zheng Ping's hand tightly, his eyes were a little red, "Aniang..."

When others saw it, they couldn't help but sigh. When Ping Zheng mentioned it, everyone remembered that Yun Yan had a hard time returning home in his early years. He also said that Yun Yan Hui was a prodigy when he was a child, but unlike other prodigies, he did not like to read, but he liked to help with the economy in the temple. general affairs.

At this time, everyone thought about it, but they felt that it was clearly due to a predicament. No one would let the scholar do not do it, and roll in the market of anti-love. This is the child of the poor. After so many years, it has become what it is today, which is really sad for those who hear it.

If Yun Yanhui knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say that you are thinking too much, okay

But today, it is indeed a wonderful experience for Yun Yanhui. In the past, he was also called Yun Yanhui, but now he has a new word, which seems to be a further integration between him and this world.

Yun Yan felt something in her heart, turned her head to look at Zhao Yunchu, and saw that this silly Bai Tian was moved to tears, she couldn't help laughing.
