The light and shadows on the water stage interweave and hum. The huge movement caused ripples in the lake, and several eyes floated to the surface, staring intently. Liang Qu held the chair handle and sat up straight, looking left and right. The villagers ate melons and beans and crowded on the bow of the boat, laughing foolishly, with all their attention on the stage, and no one cared about him. That's right, Liang Qu had been in the academy for almost a year. If he didn't understand, would ordinary people understand? They didn't understand either. Especially the new play. The reason is the same as many people listening to idols release new songs. Without reading the lyrics, most people can't hear what the lyrics are about for the first two times, and can only feel the emotions in it. So many people came mainly to watch the excitement and novelty, and they didn't know that the prototype of the stage was sitting under the stage. And Chen Zhaoan seemed to want to give him a "surprise", and he must have specially asked the troupe owner to remove the opening of the second act that explained the plot and background, which made the confusion even higher.
However, the Tang Pavilion Master and others on the left and right glanced at Liang Qu from time to time, seeing something, and the corners of their mouths seemed to be smiling. Fortunately, they saved a little face. Liang Qu covered his face with his hands and slumped back on the chair. It was too embarrassing. Why could everything he said at that time be restored? Where did the invisible historian come from? "Chen Li Lao..." Chen Zhaoan turned sideways. Liang Qu sat up again and organized his words. "Why can this play even perform what I said at that time? Where did Chen Li Lao hear it from?" Liang Qu had told others about the Whale Gang, but he had never talked about it in such detail, and it was even more impossible for him to repeat everything he said at that time. Where did Chen Zhaoan get the information? "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't arrange this play." Chen Zhaoan put his wrist on the crutch and waved his hands repeatedly. "Isn't it you?" "No, the owner of this opera troupe is called Qian Tingzhi. He was originally from Fengbu County and led a small singing troupe. He was quite famous in Fengbu County. As a result, eight years ago, a county magistrate named Du Baotian came to Fengbu County. Lord Liang should be familiar with him." Liang Qu nodded. Du Wenchang. A drama expert, his nickname is Du Baotian, which is absolutely correct.
"Du Baotian is full of big intestines and likes to be elegant. He especially likes to listen to and write operas. If it were just these, it would be fine. The key is that Du Baotian also likes to play with operas." "Play with operas?" Seeing Liang Qu puzzled, Chen Zhaoan explained in a low voice. "Play with operas! This troupe owner Qian leads a small singing troupe. The actors are all women, so Du Baotian naturally covets them." Liang Qu glanced at the girls on the stage and nodded. He knew about the small singing troupe because his master's wife liked to listen to it. He had some knowledge of it. This thing is considered the most common type of opera in the Jianghuai area. It is said that at first, the small singing troupe was full of male actors. Later, a great man was inspired by the "Mao'er Troupe" of the imperial capital drama and wanted to train a group of female actors in the troupe. At that time, the "male troupe" and the "female troupe" still coexisted and competed with each other, but the actors in the "female troupe" were handsome and elegant, and were deeply loved by everyone. Over time, the performance of the "male troupe" became worse and worse, gradually declining and gradually eliminated, and was replaced by the "female troupe" and dominated the world. Since then, the small singing troupe has been full of female actors, which has become a feature. So now the actors who play Liang Qu and Liu Jie brothers on the water stage are all women. The skin is like red soft jade, the eyebrows are outlined with ink pen to deepen the contour, the waist is slender, and the posture is upright. In every move, the heroic spirit is thin, like a blooming golden chrysanthemum, which often attracts cheers from everyone. To be an actor, you must first look decent. All pretty girls look more heroic in men's clothing. Not to mention Du Wenchang, normal men will like it, which is not surprising. "What's next?" "Once or twice is fine, but there is only one hungry ghost in Du Baotian, how can it be enough? After a long time, the troupe will be emptied. The troupe owner Qian couldn't bear it. The good actors he cultivated with great effort became the playthings of the nobles, so he took the troupe to travel around the counties and hang out in the surrounding counties. Until a few months ago, he heard that you destroyed the Whale Gang and Du Baotian was imprisoned for trial. He searched for your deeds everywhere, went to the prison in person to ask those Whale Gang members, and went through a lot of hardships to make up this good play. When I went to invite him, the troupe owner Qian heard that Yixing Town was your hometown, and he didn't confiscate the money. He gave twenty taels of silver to help us build the water stage, saying that if we don't charge money, we can sing for three days in a row." Three days? Liangqu people were numb. He didn't expect that there would be subsequent events triggered by his taking down the Whale Gang. Doesn't it mean that many people have heard this play, and the number will continue to increase in the future? The colorful light and shadow moved on him, the stage was full of swords and sabers, and somersaults, accompanied by the villain's powerless struggle, he fell completely on the stage, spitting out a mouthful of red blood, and the second scene ended. "Good!" "Great!" "Good!"
The loud whistles resounded through the lake, and the sound of hundreds of people shouting together was deafening, what a lively scene. Outside the audience circle, the water was surging. The round head patted his belly happily, signaling Jiang Xiaotun next to him to watch the fancy tricks on the stage. Unable to move, he raised his claws to scratch his scales, kicked the fat catfish that rolled excitedly next to him, and kicked himself out. The mirage worm lying on the head of the crocodile fell into the water unsteadily and was caught by the fist with pliers. The splashing sound attracted the attention of a fisherman in the back row. When he saw the terrifying beasts, his legs went weak and he fell into the river. After shouting a few times in a hurry, the surrounding companions looked back. The swamp is quiet and the waves are rolling. Where can there be any catfish monsters? "If you don't watch a good show, you'll be confused by drinking." "No, I really saw it!" "Hey, OK, OK, if you see it, you will see it. The River God appeared today. There are more than a dozen martial artists present. What are you afraid of?" "Too……" Under the water table, Liang Qu scratched his temples and picked up and put down his ten toes in his boots. Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. He only thinks that everyone is noisy. "Mr. Chen Li, was it Team Leader Qian's idea to start the show without a deputy?" "It was Leader Qian's idea. He said he would ask the question last." Liang Qu pinched the bridge of his nose, his temples twitching slightly. "Let's forget about the opening scene at the end of the vice-finals." "Why... OK, I'll go talk to him." … In the middle of the night, it was drizzling. The show ends. The fishermen were paddled away in the drizzle, still unfinished. The opening scene of the deputy director was not staged. Liang Qu successfully controlled the scope of his social life and also met Qian Tingzhi, the leader of the Qian team, as Chen Zhaoan said. Qian Tingzhi is a little old man who is nearly sixty years old, with gray hair and only meters tall. He came out with girls in their teens and twenties to greet him, and he was very enthusiastic. "That big belly is really worse than a pig or a dog! A birth within a birth! A son must have no butthole!" "Master Liang is a hero and has eradicated great harm to Fengbu County! From now on, when Master Liang takes people to the theater, they will all have first-class seats! There will be no charge!" "Master Qian, you are very polite. I have only one request. How about changing the show for the next three days? "Spring in the Palace", "Horse on the Wall", and "The Legend of the Dragon Girl" are all good."
"Um, why is this? But today's Mr. Liang is not satisfied?" Liang Qu saw the disappointed looks in the girls' eyes and swallowed his words again. "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that it's not easy for the folks to watch a show. Try to have as many shows as possible..." "Then, well, since it is Mr. Liang who has spoken, he will naturally agree." After exchanging pleasantries, Liang Qu did not go home. He sat alone in the boat for a long time, blowing the river breeze for several quarters of an hour. On the side, fat catfish and other animals came out of the water, but they didn't dare to disturb them. It's a good thing to do after all. Just be embarrassed. With a faint sigh, Liang Qu collected his thoughts. After thinking for a while, he remembered what he was going to do when he came out.
