break the robbery

As soon as that kid came, I knew that he must be the disaster star of my Hongyefang, and sooner or later he would cause trouble for us.

I tried my best to drive him away several times, but my stupid son tried his best to protect him.What are you talking about, since you are on my red boat, you will be born as a member of my Hongyefang, and you will be my ghost of Hongyefang when you die.I'm such an old man, the team will be handed over to Ju'er sooner or later, since he likes to keep people here, let's stay.Luckily, that kid is not bad with his voice hanging twice, he is a material for learning opera, and he has a good figure, he is considered the best in my team.

His name is Huarong, and he is indeed as his name suggests, with a beautiful face and a moony appearance, he is born with a weak and boneless appearance, even when he walks lightly, his eyebrows and eyes are even more charming than the girls in Lanfang Pavilion, but he does not look like It's so coquettish, but it still feels quite fresh and delicate, but it's not as delicate as a man.If it weren't for the magnetism in his voice, I really wondered if he came here disguised as a man, because we don't like women learning to sing here.

As a woman, you should stay at home honestly, marry your father and follow your husband at home, wash and cook, take care of your husband and teach your children, and what it looks like when you come out to show your face.If the family finds out by accident, they will drag her back and beat her to death. If the neighbors find out, they will laugh at her for not being able to get married.

Huarong is naturally beautiful, anyway, he is the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life.Although God gave him a beautiful face, what's the use of having a beautiful face? When he comes to me, he's just an actor after all.In the future, if someone from a noble family accidentally fell in love with him, it would be fine if he was willing. From now on, he will enjoy prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life, but he will be old and childless; if he doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do, otherwise he will only die.

Throughout the ages, how many people have been forced to death on this road, I think I almost fell on it when I was young, and was spotted by a censor Zhongcheng... Sigh, forget it.In short, these days, actors and actresses are the most lowly, they are always looked down upon by others, and they have to watch the faces of those important people carefully every time they appear on the scene, and if they are careless, they will be pulled out and chopped up.Fortunately, this kind of thing has not happened in my team.

In fact, at the beginning, I didn't want Ju Er to learn acting, after all he is my only son.I want him to study hard so that he can get a good reputation in the future, so that he can stand out, and not be looked down upon for the rest of his life like me.But my silly son just had to learn to play, and in the end he played tricks of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself with me.

Later, my heart also softened. If he wants to learn, he can learn. Although he is looked down upon by others, he is better than those poor scholars. He has skills and is not afraid of starving himself to death in the future.After teaching him for a few days, I gradually discovered that Ju Er is really talented in singing.Simply, I taught him everything in one go, and he did not disappoint me. Now he has become the pillar of my Hongyefang, and many spectators come for his face.

Most of the children in Hongyefang were picked up by me, and it is estimated that no parent is willing to send their children to the troupe, unless they can't afford it.Except for my son Bai Ju, the rest of the children are all orphans, and most of the children's family members died in the war.Although Huarong never talked about his own life experience, he said that he is also an orphan, without father and mother, probably similar to other children.In today's era of war and chaos, it is the common people who suffer, especially the children who have lost all their relatives in the war.

I heard that the Izumo Kingdom has changed a new emperor, established a new regime, and changed the name of the country to be proud.Last year he handled a big case and dealt with many courtiers.Afterwards, his confidant, Changsheng General Hyuga, began to lead the troops to sweep around, attacking the city and conquering the territory. Most of the county guards and Taiwei were forced by the situation and surrendered one after another, and some even went out of the city to greet him.However, in just a few months, the new emperor's forces have successfully occupied the entire Izumo Kingdom.

The great unification ended and a new regime was established, but the world is not as peaceful as the common people imagined.After the war, bandits were rampant, and the common people lived in fear almost every day.There are flying robbers at night and banditry every day, and those whose families are a little richer may be targeted by them at any time.One of my miserable apprentices was ransacked overnight by bandits, and finally boarded my red boat when he had nowhere to go.

As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the princes and ministers are far away in the temple. These little people who are officials and scholars deliberately lied about the people's feelings and whitewashed the peace. They will not know.Maybe, they all know this, but they just don't want to pay attention to it.Many of them are generals who have fought and killed for many years. During the war, they used knives to kill people almost every day. Human life is not worth a lot of money to them, and they probably don't take it to heart.

"Master, have you woken up from your afternoon nap?" Candied Haw's voice came from outside the door. The voice was very small, panting and cautious. He probably came running all the way up. It's not good to be woken up, so he lowered his voice.

By the way, this candied haws seems to be 11 years old this year. I don’t remember what his original name was. I know he loves candied haws. Every time the red boat docks, he will ask to go to the small market in the town to buy candied haws. Eating, the whole person is fat and round, just like the candied haws, and the eyes can't see when you smile.Later, everyone simply called him Tanghuluer. This name has been called for many years, and it is estimated that he will never change it.

"Well, I'm awake, come in." I got up from the bed, stood by the window and looked at the spring water flowing eastward, and took a deep breath, smelling the wetness of the river.

The surface of the river was foggy, and there was a drizzle of drizzle.I don't know why, but since last year, I have been extremely lethargic and feel like I can't wake up.It really complied with the old saying, spring is sleepy, autumn is exhausted, and summer is sleepy.It’s just the beginning of spring now, and I almost slept until sunset after a nap, and I didn’t sleep well, I always had some messy dreams.

Candied Haws opened the door and came in, smiling and said: "Master, the new brother Rong has just learned a piece of opera, and he sings very well. Go and listen." I've been squinting and can't find it.

Candied haws is born with a good voice, but it is a pity that after eating it like this, there is nothing to look forward to for her figure, so she can only do odd jobs with the big guys.He was still very young when I picked up candied haws, and because he was the youngest, I loved him more and spent more time with me.When I first came here, Tanghuluer loved to cry, she was thin and small, and was still sick. The doctor said that she was afraid it would be difficult to support her.Unexpectedly, I have been raising it for more than ten years, and I even raised a ball.In this era of war and famine, being fat like him is considered a skill.

I drooped my brows and eyes, showing obvious displeasure, and said in a deep voice: "He is diligent." I am not deaf, can I not hear?You've woken me up a long time ago with such a big commotion down there, I just don't bother to talk to you.

That's right, the Brother Rong that Tanghuluer was talking about was the new Huarong, the only one on the boat with the word Rong in his name.As soon as I heard his name, I felt an unknown anger in my heart, and I couldn't explain why, but I just felt that sooner or later his appearance would cause trouble for Hongyefang.

But, obviously, the kid Tanghulu didn't see the unhappiness in my heart at all.His chubby little hands grabbed my sleeves and pulled me downstairs. I don't know where such a small doll got such strength, but I was actually pulled down by him.Maybe it's because I'm getting old, and my hands and feet are weak.It's all my fault that I spoil him too much, which made him more unruly.

Candied haws said as they walked: "Master, I think Brother Rong is a natural learner to sing opera, and he learns it quickly and well. I can't learn the opera scripts and jokes he sings for a long time, but Rong My brother only needs to learn from Senior Brother Bai once. Master, I think Brother Rong is a genius, as if he can remember it with a photographic memory."

Yes, I admit that his Huarong is indeed a good seedling, with roots of wisdom, hardworking, and quick to learn everything.However, as soon as I saw his appearance, I felt uncomfortable all over, and I always felt that he came to Hongyefang for some other purpose.But calm down and think about it carefully, he has been on the ship for several months, and he has not seen any movement, let alone anything bad happened, everything is still the same as before.

Oh, no, there are still some changes on my red boat, some things have become different from before.For example, since Huarong came here, no one is willing to eat the food I cook, because Huarong cooks better than mine; another example, candied haws stopped arguing to sleep with me at night, It’s because his elder brother Rong smells good, so he insisted on wrapping him in the same blanket; another example, my stupid son doesn’t come to my room very often to play against me, and practice with that Huarong every day... Anyway, It seems that everyone in the whole red boat loves to cling to him now except me.Everyone seems to think that he is good everywhere, although in fact I can't find anything wrong with him.

The worst thing is, that brat Ju'er dared to say that his Huarong singing is better than mine!Hmph, it's only been a few days, and it's time to start the roofing.This boat is my red boat; this team is my red leaf boat!Today I want to see how this Huarong sings better than me.I still don’t believe it, he’s only been here for a few months, and he’s even better than me, who’s been singing all my life.

The entire ship has compartments on the first floor, front and back, and a spacious hall in the middle, while the second floor is full of compartments of all sizes, which are directly connected from one end to the other.Among them, the decks at the bow and stern are empty. Usually, everyone practices on the decks, and there is more space there.Occasionally, if it is rainy, I will practice singing in the hall in the middle of the first floor.It was drizzling on the river today, so they all practiced in the hall on the first floor.

Pulled by the candied haws all the way, as soon as I went down the stairs, the clear and beautiful voice reached my ears.

"It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the place, and they are all ruined like this. What kind of day is the beautiful scenery on a good day, who's home is a place to enjoy the pleasure! The morning flies and the evening rolls, the clouds and green pavilions; the rain and the wind, the misty waves and the painting boats—Jinping people Intuit It's such a cheap time to see!"

Looking up, it was indeed sung from Huarong's mouth.Today they are in a good mood, and they all changed their costumes to look good.That every move, every frown and smile, really looks like a woman, and indeed no one can play this role better than him.If you want to talk about the genius of this opera, he is probably the only one in my Hongyefang.

"The cuckoos are singing red all over the green mountains, and the shreds of tobacco are drunk and soft outside the tea. The fragrance of spring..." After singing a sentence, it is more tactful and graceful.It has to be said that the child Huarong is naturally charming, her gestures are full of coquettishness, and Du Liniang's tenderness is even more vividly displayed by him.

Seeing me coming down the stairs, they stopped the gongs and drums, let alone sang tunes, and stood in the hall well-behaved one by one.Although I raised them, taught them how to make a living, and loved them sincerely, my discipline on them was still very strict on weekdays.Therefore, my master still has some majesty in their hearts.

"The singing was very good, why did it stop? Keep singing so that I can listen carefully." I sat down on the teacher's chair in the middle of the hall, and glanced over the group of children one by one.

Most of the people on the Red Boat were afraid of me and lowered their heads when they saw me, even Ju'er was no exception.But this Huarong didn't seem to feel anything, and dared to meet my gaze directly.To be honest, I like him very much, this is the courage that a man should have.And only then, I don't think he looks like a woman.

Huarong strolled over, nodded slightly, bowed to me, and said: "Master, Huarong is not good at learning skills, and you are always laughing at me because of his axe in the class."

He is a modest child who can speak in front of elders.In fact, after getting along these days, although I still don't like him, I don't hate him as much as before.I leaned forward and asked him, "Do you really want to learn opera from us?"

Huarong nodded, and said with a very sincere expression: "If you are lucky enough to be taught by the class leader, Huarong will be very grateful." After she finished speaking, she raised her brows and eyes, and her eyes were full of soul-stirring charm. Can't stand it.Coupled with his appearance today, no one would believe him if he said he was a man.I know that he didn't intend to seduce, but he was born with such appearance. If he has evil intentions, I will definitely not tolerate him on this red boat.

I made up my mind and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, if you are willing, I will accept you today."

After finally making up his mind to accept this evildoer, he never thought that he hesitated, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

It's not that I, Bai Fan, boasted. Hongyefang has sung all over the country for so many years, and I have never met an opponent. In terms of singing skills, there is absolutely no one above me.On weekdays, children from poor families rush to come to apprentice, and I still have to pick and choose my appearance.It's good for him, he stayed on my red boat for so long, and said he wanted to learn to sing, and I finally opened the door to accept apprentices, so he was not happy.

Although my face was calm, my heart was already about to explode.

Seeing Huarong standing still, Tanghulu'er tugged at the long sleeves of his costume and said in a low voice, "Brother Rong, Master is going to accept you, what are you waiting for?"

Ju'er didn't expect Hua Rong to hesitate, so she pushed him without a trace.Don't think that my old eyes are too dim to see your little moves, I can see them clearly.

At this moment, Huarong seemed to have realized that, taking advantage of Ju'er's push, she immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Master, my apprentice Huarong kowtows to you." "Three ringing heads.

I narrowed my eyes and smiled, it was almost the same, he was probably stunned because he was happy just now.

My other disciple, Liu Ziyan, has always been the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Hua Rong, and said with a smile: "Junior Rong, why don't you offer tea to Master and the old man?"

Huarong took the teacup, carefully leveled it, and then offered it to me respectfully, saying respectfully: "Please drink tea, Master."

I also don't want to embarrass him too much, after drinking Huarongjing's tea, from now on, he is my Hongyefang's person.

After helping Huarong to get up, the happiest thing was Tanghuluer, who yelled: "Wow, it's really great! I'm finally no longer Hongyefang's youngest junior, and someone will call me senior in the future. "Before the words were finished, the candied haws jumped up and down happily in the hall, smiling very happily.

Candied Haw Luer has really been brooding over the identity of Junior Junior Brother for a long time.Because after him, I have never accepted an apprentice again, so he has always been the junior apprentice of all the seniors.Now, after finally giving himself a little bit of identity, he is naturally extremely happy.

Ju'er couldn't help but want to pour cold water on him, and said with a smile: "Danghuluer, although Junior Brother Rong was the last one to get started, he is still several years older than you. So, you are still our youngest Junior Brother. "

Tanghulu'er was stunned when he heard the words, showing obvious displeasure, and after a while he said: "I don't care, anyway, from now on, someone will call me a senior, and I have a senior."

Seeing that Tanghuluer was entangled, Huarong didn't want to bully others with Juer and others, so she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, brother Tanghuluer is right. Senior brother, I'm being polite." Then, Huarong turned to Tanghulu The son bowed and bowed.Although everyone knew that he was just trying to make Tanghuluer happy, but this courtesy was not perfunctory at all, he actually worshiped Tanghuluer respectfully, which shows his character.

Seeing Huarong bowing to him, Tanghulu'er hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "Brother Rong is polite, I will return the salute, brother." After speaking, she also bowed.

Everyone was amused by the childish return of candied haws and pretending to be old-fashioned. For a while, everyone was laughing and joking, fighting and making trouble.I also laughed out loud, the red boat hadn't been this lively for a long time.

The south of the Yangtze River is misty and rainy, and now it is the rainy season, and it is even more drizzle, making it difficult for the red boat to go ashore and go on stage.Without income, there are so many people on the red boat, so many mouths, what do they have to feed them.Therefore, everyone has been saving money on food and expenses, and living on a tight budget.Fortunately, the rainy season is coming to an end, and in a few days, our Red Leaf Boat will be able to set up a stage on the shore again.

"As soon as the rainy season is over, let's go ashore and build a platform. Ju'er, tell all the brothers and sisters to prepare." After explaining, I continued to go back to my room to rest.I've been so lethargic lately, I don't know if I'm sick, and I'll have to find a doctor to take a good look at it when I get ashore.

The author has something to say: The inspiration for this article comes from an ancient song called "Entering the Play". It's not because the song is particularly good, but the lyrics are very artistic. Interested children's shoes can listen to it.Perhaps, after you listen to it and look back at the novel, you will have a different feeling.
