As soon as the two of them entered Huaishuo Town, Old Man Geng ran straight to the Xia Family Restaurant.
"Shopkeeper Xia, bring me two jars of fruit wine, one jar of braised mutton and one jar of braised pork." After expertly ordering the meal, Old Man Geng asked again, "I heard that the Hongfu Theater Troupe has a new line-up. "When will the Stone Monkey be born?"
When Shopkeeper Xia saw it was Old Man Geng, an old acquaintance of his, and then looked at the strong young man beside him, he thought he was the Erlang of Old Man Geng's family.
"I haven't seen you here for a long time. I thought you went to eat somewhere else! In just one more incense time, the new play of the Hong Fook Theater will start!"
Xia The shopkeeper took out two tickets from the counter: "It's my first time meeting my nephew. There's nothing good about it. You can take these two tickets to see it."
Old man Geng opened his mouth to explain that this was not his son, but Su Yunting stopped him.
Su Yunting took the two tickets and smiled honestly: "Thank you, uncle."
Shopkeeper Xia liked to see the sons of Yunzhou grow tall and strong, so he took pictures He patted Su Yunting on the shoulder and encouraged: "Learn your skills from your father and defend Yunzhou and serve the general in the future!"
"Yes!" Su Yunting nodded heavily.
Old man Geng was anxious to go to the theater, so he took Su Yunting away with the packed wine and braised meat.
The theater where the Hongfu Opera Troupe was located was originally the largest brothel in Huaishuo Town, and could even be said to be the largest brothel in Yunzhou. Later, Gu Nanxi did not allow prostitution in Yunzhou, so the brothel became obsolete.
For women in brothels, those who want to go home can go home, and those who want to make a living can make a living on their own. The remaining women who really have no ability to make a living and can only sing and dance, after Gu Nanxi’s suggestion Next, we might as well form a theater troupe.
In the past, it was about selling both art and one's body, but now it has become about selling one's art but not one's body.
The brothel’s madam was a smart person, so she didn’t want to spend money to find someone to customize the playbook, so she just started filming the story in "Yunzhou Weekly".
"A husband spoils his concubine and destroys his wife. Why do you cry when I turn around and leave you?" 》
"My Deskmate Is a Girl"
"Getting into the Wrong Sedan and Marrying the Right Man"
These are classic plays by the Hong Fook Troupe, and almost every venue is packed.
Even though Su Yunting was mentally prepared for the popularity of Hongfu Theater Troupe, the reality was still far beyond his imagination.
The entrance to the theater was lined with huge crowds of people, all waiting for the second show.
Old man Geng dragged Su Yunting all the way in and showed the ticket to the strong man at the door before he was able to enter.
The ticket location of Shopkeeper Xia is not bad. It is located at the front of the second floor. A square table can seat four people.
Old man Geng and Su Yunting came late, and the other two people had already sat down.
“Fang Langjun?”
“Uncle Geng!”
Fang Yinnian and Old Man Geng clasped their fists and saluted. After whispering a few words, they all sat down and waited quietly for the show to begin.
As for the other person on the table, it is Wang Jiuhe.
He was so drunk that his cheeks turned red. The Holy Emperor made Gu Nanxi the Duke of Yun, but he never let him go back. Wang Jiuhe knew that his career was over! The culprit is Gu Nanxi from Yunzhou!
He didn’t want to stay in Fuming Town and listen to the people around him praising Gu Nanxi every day, and he didn’t want to go to Woye Town to see Wang Buxi’s face, so he hung out in Huaishuo Town every day. Here, drunken life and dreaming of death.
Jiang Cheng was sent back to the Wang family to see if he could make a comeback through the Wang family's operations.
This is also his last remaining hope.
Old man Geng put the wine and meat on the table. As soon as he opened it, he heard a gong sound, and the show began!
Hongfu Opera Troupe is worthy of being the leader in the Yunzhou opera world. In the white mist, a huge boulder rumbled, and a man dressed like a monkey emerged from it!
Then the monkey flew to Huaguo Mountain and was called the King of the Mountain. He had no worries about eating and drinking, and felt so comfortable!
Such a happy life makes the audience feel that it is better to be a monkey than a human being.
However, monkeys also have birth, old age, illness and death. The old monkey in Huaguo Mountain died. The stone monkey was very sad and decided to learn the method of becoming an immortal. The ending ended with the monkey discovering a fairy mountain.
When the opera came to an end, the entire scene gave warm applause.
“This stone monkey must have found the fairy mountain, and he must be able to succeed as a disciple, right?”
“Haha, I actually think it’s not bad to be a monkey!”
"It's so miserable. We have to wait several days to watch the second episode of Journey to the West!"
The audience was chattering.
Old man Geng also slapped the table there: "Why did it disappear so quickly?! I didn't even finish the drink and it disappeared! Why didn't "Yunzhou Weekly" publish more rounds? The page is so big, it’s enough to publish two rounds at once!”< br>
Fang Yinnian smiled shyly: "Because the general wants to leave time for everyone to think about the story behind Journey to the West."
"Huh? How do you say this?" Next door Mr. Niu and Mrs. Niu's family at the table all turned their attention to Fang Yinnian.
Seeing that he was surrounded by acquaintances, Fang Yinnian was naturally happy to share: "Journey to the West on the surface tells the story of a stone monkey becoming a spirit, but in fact it contains various metaphors."
The originally playful second floor It gradually became quiet, this is Fang Langjun! There must be a source!
Fang Yinnian's eyes gleamed. When he took the reading comprehension test of "Journey to the West", he got a zero. He was so heartbroken that he memorized the standard answers in all the reference books!
Today, it finally comes into play!
"The Stone Monkey turned this stone into spirit, but the remaining piece of the Sky-Mending Stone was left by Nuwa to patch the sky! This means that this Stone Marquis should have been a member of the Heavenly Dao, but was forgotten Now. Who do you think of when it comes to our whole week?”
"Youyun Sixteen States!" the spectators said in unison.
Fang Yinnian clapped his hands: "Yes, this is the first layer of metaphor. This stone monkey is the Sixteenth State of Youyun! There are some other contents that involve spoilers. I won't say them. Wait. When the second and third rounds come out, you will have an idea after watching it."
Fang Yinnian patted his butt and wanted to leave, but was surrounded by spectators: "Fang Langjun revealed a little more. One layer, what is the second layer? What do you mean?"
Fang Yinnian couldn't squeeze out of the encirclement, so he had to say honestly: "The second level is to enlarge the view to the whole world. This stone monkey is us ordinary people, and we really can't say anything else! , think about it in detail, after all, this is definitely not a simple story!”
After hearing Fang Yinnian’s words, the spectators were thoughtful and their expectations for the second round were even higher.
Su Yunting looked at Fang Yinnian's fleeing figure and couldn't help but feel amused. He didn't expect that such a capable person could have such a shy temperament.
"Master, this Fang Yinnian knows A Niang quite well."
Su Yunting originally wanted to meet this Fang Yinnian for a while, but now when we met, he found that he was a quite simple guy. It was probably not a spy sent by the enemy, so I felt relieved. (End of this chapter)
