During these days, Xia Xiaoqiu and Xia Ping'an visited relatives everywhere, and sometimes went out hiking and shopping.

On the sixth day of the New Year, Xia Xiaoqiu and Xia Ping'an returned to Hangzhou.

"Brother, you have to follow closely, but also pay attention to safety. I will drive slower."

"Okay, sister, I got it."

Xia Xiaoqiu drove in front and Xia Pingan followed behind.

When they pass by a service station, they will stop to rest, eat something, and go to the bathroom.

"Sister, we'll be there in an hour."

"Well, don't worry, let's not drive too fast."

"it is good."

"Brother, do you have enough money?"

"Haha, sister, the money you give me is enough for my whole life even if I don't have to work."

"Brother, spend your money without worries. Your sister has plenty of money."

"Okay sister, we have rested enough and can get going now."

"it is good."

They took the highway, so it was quite safe. An hour later, they arrived in Hangzhou.

After returning to Jingtai Hanlin, I took a shower, had lunch, and then went to rest.

On the seventh day of the New Year, Xia Xiaoqiu did not go out to play. She just stayed in the house watching TV, playing games, and waiting for time to slip away.

Xia Ping'an went to the store. Because the store was open, he gave out New Year red envelopes to the employees, and every employee was happy.

When night falls, the whole city is illuminated by colorful lights, like a dreamlike wonderland.

The brother and sister walked hand in hand through the bustling streets, feeling the unique charm and vitality of this city.

They walked across the old stone bridge and admired the brilliant lights reflected in the river;

Walk through the bustling night market and taste a variety of delicious snacks;

Climb up a tall building and overlook the magnificent view of the entire city.

Along the way, the brother and sister laughed and talked happily, enjoying the warm time with each other.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong... Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."

On February 2, the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, Xia Xiaoqiu was awakened by the alarm clock at 14 o'clock in the morning.

After I packed up, I took my phone and keys and went out. I bought something to eat at a breakfast shop and then went to work.

Pedestrians on the road also ride their bicycles to work at this time.

At 7:55, Xia Xiaoqiu arrived at the theater, punched in, and went to the practice room.

"Xiao Xia, you're here. How are you having fun at home?"

"Sister Na, I had a lot of fun and the food was delicious."

"That's very good."

"Hey, Junjun and Xiaoxiao are here too. Judging from your complexion, I can tell that you are living a good life."

"Nana, what's wrong with you? You've been so sweet all morning, as if you were covered in honey!"

"Hehe, because yesterday was my daughter's birthday, I was in a good mood."

"Oh, Nana, why didn't you tell us earlier? We can also give you a gift!"

"Oh, I don't want to make a big deal about a kid's birthday."

"That's right!"

Soon everyone who was going to work arrived, and Xie Tuan called everyone together for a meeting.

Xia Xiaoqiu also received Chen Xiangjun's work arrangement report, and she was busy again.

February 2, 15pm, "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents"

February 2, 17pm, New Dragon Inn

February 2, 19am, Liang Zhu

February 2, 21pm, "Farewell"

……

In their spare time, Xia Xiaoqiu, Chen Xiangjun and Li Xiao also bought tickets for other actors' performances and went to show their support!

Although Huang Yi was Xia Xiaoqiu's partner, she had no performance arrangements, so the troupe assigned her other roles.

"Xiao Xia, let's go. The show is about to start. Let's go check the tickets."

"Ok."

Xia Xiaoqiu took the ticket and followed Chen Xiangjun and Li Xiao. This time they were watching "Romance of the West Chamber" performed by Xie Tuan and Zhang Yiqing.

They were sitting in the middle of the fifth row and could see quite clearly.

After they were seated, the show began.

The Yue Opera "Romance of the West Chamber" is adapted from the Yuan Dynasty zaju "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" by Wang Shifu.

The whole play is divided into nine scenes: Surprise, Rewarding Rhyme, Temple Guard, Breaking Off Engagement, Qin Xin, Making Trouble, Passing Letters, Guessing Riddles and Torturing Hong.

The first scene, "Stunning", tells the story of Zhang Sheng falling in love at first sight with Cui Yingying after he encounters her in Puji Temple;

The second scene, "Repaying Rhymes", shows the two people reciting poems to each other, and their feelings gradually warm up;

……

In the last scene "Torturing Hongniang", the old lady discovered the affair between Zhang Sheng and Yingying and tortured Hongniang, who wittily refuted the old lady.

This eventually led to the marriage of Zhang Sheng and Yingying.

The Yue Opera "Romance of the West Chamber" vividly depicts the love story between Zhang Sheng and Yingying through delicate performances and beautiful singing.

The play has become one of the classic Yue Opera with its unique artistic charm.

Chen Xiangjun and Li Xiao also came here to learn because they will be performing this show on stage in the future.

The two-hour performance ended, and Chen Xiangjun and Li Xiao were both very satisfied with it.

"Xiao Xia, do you think it looks good?"

"Haha, Sister Junjun, if Xie Tuan heard you asking this, wouldn't he twist your ears?"

"Well, I asked for nothing."

"Junjun, let's go back."

"it is good."

They had a midnight snack and went back.

February 2, on stage.

Chen Xiangjun, Li Xiao, Wang Xiaowen, Lianzhou, Qingqing, Ye Na, Jin Jiani, Jingjing, Xie Tuan, and Zhang Yiqing were all rehearsing "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents".

"Xiao Xia, watch carefully from the side and see how each of us performed, especially the movements and expressions."

"Okay, thank you."

In fact, Xia Xiaoqiu had remembered it a long time ago, but she didn't want to show it off too much, so she just stayed quiet and behaved like a good child.

Since Xie Tuan had given the order, she had to study hard.

"The abilities of Xie Tuan and Zhang Yiqing cannot be underestimated, and the same goes for Sister Xiaowen. She is indeed a first-class actor!"

“They shine on the stage with their own charm!”

Xia Xiaoqiu also knew Xie Tuan, he was a martial artist!

It is said that she started learning martial arts skills since she was a child. After years of hard training and continuous honing, she has become a master of Yue Opera.

She is also proficient in various weapons, such as knives, guns, swords, etc. She can be said to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

Xia Xiaoqiu had watched some of Xie Tuan's performance videos and was shocked by her superb skills and strong strength.

Xie Tuan also won the Plum Blossom Award and was named a national first-class actor.

So she was full of awe for Xie Tuan!

She looked at Wang Xiaowen and Ye Na again. This pair had been partners for many years and they had a good understanding of each other and performed very easily.

Then she looked at Chen Xiangjun and Li Xiao with tenderness in her eyes. These were the people she was protecting.

Lianzhou and Qingqing are quite likable, one quiet and one active.

Xia Xiaoqiu memorized everyone's movements and expressions.

Afterwards, she watched their entire rehearsal. Even though some parts were not perfect, it was still very good!

"Xiao Xia, do you understand and see clearly?"

"Thank you, I understand and remember it."

"Very good, then show us."

"Just act out the role of the fourth uncle."

"Okay, thank you."

"Unlock your dancing talent"

“Unlocking Musical Talent”

When the music started, Xia Xiaoqiu performed following the rhythm. Her every move was so free and easy, and her expression was natural and appropriate.

Xia Xiaoqiu immediately immersed herself in the plot and her emotions were very present. Once this skill came out, Xia Xiaoqiu's whole temperament changed.

"Wow, Xiao Xia, this is amazing. Your movements are more standard than mine."

"Wow, Xiao Xia, your figure is so ethereal, it feels like it's about to fly into the sky!"

"Xiao Xia, this is not a performance, this is simply the Fourth Uncle himself."

Xie Tuan was also quite shocked. She had also heard Teacher Mao's high evaluation of Xia Xiaoqiu, but she still had a trace of doubt in her heart.

But now it seems that she is indeed extremely talented. No wonder Teacher Mao took great pains to create new works tailor-made for Xia Xiaoqiu.

Xia Xiaoqiu's performance was over. She stopped and looked at the expressions of Xie Tuan and the others and knew what was going on.

"Xiao Xia, you are great, even better than me!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Na!"

"Xiao Xia, you really gave me a surprise!"

"Since you learned it so quickly, Xiaoxia, then other works shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Yes, thank you, my teacher has taught me in the academy, and I have learned it all."

"Oh, show us again some other day."

"Okay, thank you."

Because of limited time, after finishing rehearsing "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents", Xie and her team went on to rehearse "Romance of the West Chamber".
