Steel Dynasty - Chapter 443
[Chapter 443 Guidance]
There is a stage in the middle of the Wei family restaurant, which is used for daily performances.
Naturally, it was the Chen family class who came to perform “The Romance of the West Chamber” this time.
Since Xiao Ming brought Chen Jia Ban under his banner, he asked Zi Wan to choreograph a lot of plays for Chen Jia Ban. These plays were not imitating European stage plays, but were performed in the form of traditional Peking opera.
Because in Xiao Ming’s view, Chinese culture is profound and profound. Although it lags behind Europe in this era in terms of technology, there is no need to feel inferior culturally. He is confident that carrying forward traditional Chinese culture will also have good results.
However, while carrying forward traditional culture, he needs to get rid of the shortcomings of traditional culture and promote some new trends of thought. After all, drama is only a form of expression of ideas and is not different between Chinese and foreign.
The troupe came forward, and Princess Pingyang and other ladies immediately showed excited expressions.
In every era, the lives of the rich and powerful are similar. They sit on huge wealth, and converting wealth into enjoyment of life is one of the joys of their lives. Showing off wealth, buying luxury goods, and comparison are things that are never allowed in the circle of nobles. Topics that will de-escalate.
Regardless of China or foreign countries, ancient or modern, it was precisely by grasping the consumer psychology of these wealthy people that Xiao Ming developed a set of experience programs, from staying at the Wei Family Restaurant to enjoying wonderful dramas.
After these ladies return, what they see and hear in Qingzhou will become a hot topic in their circles, and those jealous and jealous dignitaries will inevitably go to Qingzhou one after another to keep themselves from falling behind these ladies.
“Auntie, you’re welcome. I guess I’m tired of watching the dramas in Chang’an a long time ago. My nephew thought that Qingzhou had a few more exciting ones, so he wanted to let my aunt relieve her boredom.”
Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Princess Pingyang became even more happy. She patted Fei Yue’er’s little hand and said, “Yue’er, you see my aunt is right. My nephew is very caring. Now that you are with my nephew, you will not have a hard life in the future.” “What
my aunt said is that His Highness is different, and Yue’er was very happy.” Fei Yue’er glanced at Xiao Ming and said softly to Princess Pingyang, not sure if she was being polite or sincere.
Princess Pingyang’s eyes turned around Fei Yue’er and Xiao Ming. When she came to Qingzhou this time, the couple treated her well, which made her happy. The worries she had when she came to Qingzhou were gone.
The three of them were talking about everyday things, and the sound of orchestral music sounded on the stage.
Chen Xi’er on the stage still sang: “Ask who is drunk in the frost forest at dawn. The west wind is tight on the blue sky and yellow flowers. I always leave people in tears a thousand miles away. Achievements are late and parted too early, which makes people melancholy. They cannot tie up the horses, and they are empty. This willow silk is long…”
Along with the clear and exciting tone, everyone was immediately attracted by the performance on the stage.
“The Romance of the West Chamber” is a traditional Peking Opera repertoire, so it really didn’t take much effort for Zi Wan to rehearse “The Romance of the West Chamber”. Everything was ready-made, and there was a reason why Xiao Ming chose this repertoire.
After all, for women, love is not a constant topic in any era.
It is precisely because of the constraints on human ethics imposed by feudal ethics that women yearn more and more for sentimental love stories. This drama describes the story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, a pair of lovers who overcome obstacles and finally get married.
As the performance began, Princess Pingyang and the ladies were immediately immersed in the story. Even Fei Yue’er couldn’t take her eyes away because she had never seen this piece.
Watching everyone gradually become intoxicated, Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction and quietly accompanied Princess Pingyang to watch the show. When Sun Feihu, the performer, heard that Yingying was beautiful, he led his troops to surround Pujiu Temple and wanted to forcefully marry Yingying. The princess looked worried.
And when Zhang Sheng wrote a letter and asked his old friend Baima General Du Que to lead his troops to rescue the siege, but Mrs. Cui never mentioned the marriage afterwards and only called the two of them brothers and sisters, Princess Pingyang gritted her teeth again.
This play is very long. After an hour, when Zhang Sheng won the first prize and married Cui Yingying, the whole play finally came to an end.
At this time, Princess Pingyang could not help but wipe away her tears. She said quietly: “I hope all lovers in the world will eventually get married, but unfortunately things often backfire in this world. Alas…”
Fei Yue’er’s behavior was different. With a smile on his face, he was happy because of the happy ending.
Xiao Ming knew why Princess Pingyang was so sad. Xiao Wenxuan had chosen a consort for her that she didn’t like in order to win over the Zhao family, and Xiao Wenxuan also knew about it at that time.
The brother and sister had a quarrel over this matter, and finally Xiao Wenxuan asked the general Princess Pingyang liked to lead the army north to resist the barbarians. After a great battle, this general was never heard from again.
At this time, this drama touched the past of Princess Pingyang, which made her so deeply moved.
“What a wonderful opera, thank you!” Princess Pingyang suddenly shouted.
As soon as she finished speaking, two maids serving Princess Pingyang took out a handful of broken silver and threw it on the stage.
Then other ladies followed suit, and for a while it was like money was raining down on the stage.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming laughed softly and said: “Auntie, this troupe knows a lot of operas, but it’s too late tonight, so I guess they can only perform this piece.”
Princess Pingyang’s heart moved, and she The life in Chang’an was too boring and there was no fun. After coming to Qingzhou, she suddenly had a lot of expectations. He said to Xiao Ming: “In this case, it is even more important to buy a house in Qingzhou, Ming’er, this
“Don’t worry, my nephew will not disappoint me. There will be a lot of fun things in Qingzhou next year, so I won’t be bored.
“
Xiao Ming said in a lie.
In the past two years, Xiao Ming has not changed the entertainment projects of Dayu State, but has focused on development. Now that Qingzhou has reached an inflection point in its development, it is necessary for him to eliminate some entertainment activities that attract the rich. Get it out.
Princess Pingyang stood up and stretched. She said to Xiao Ming: “It’s getting late. You two should go back and rest early. Let’s meet the princess’s beauty again tomorrow.”
“In that case, my nephew won’t bother you.” Xiao Ming bowed and said.
After watching Princess Pingyang go upstairs, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er went to the palace together.
Back at the palace, Fei Yue’er couldn’t wait to summon the singers. She would show off her design tomorrow, which inevitably made her a little nervous.
And because it is too private, Xiao Ming will not be able to enter this place where clothes are displayed. During this period, she can only deal with it by herself.
After struggling like this all night, Fei Yueer went directly to Wei’s Restaurant the next day.
