Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

In Sangjia Wazi, just after the early morning hour, many vendors set up stalls on both sides of the street, and the shops opened one after another.

Tourists came one after another, chatting loudly, and it was a bustling and lively scene.

The door of the brothel on the side of the road was open, and several young, beautiful, brightly dressed women came out to solicit business, laughing like silver bells.

There are also geisha who are preparing to perform in Goulan and are rushing to Goulan.

Some anonymous Luqi people who could not perform on stage were singing and singing on the side of the road, and few passers-by stopped for them.

"Sell tabloids, sell tabloids! Take the first place in the talent show, and become famous as an official trick!"

A boy who looked about seven or eight years old was carrying a wooden basket filled with tabloids, and ran quickly in the downtown area with a tabloid in his hand.

His shouting attracted the attention of those brothel girls, geisha on their way to Goulan, and roadside buskers.

A woman from a brothel beckoned the boy over and bought a copy of "Bianjing Fenghua", and the sisters next to her also leaned over to watch it together.

"I'm waiting for you in Tokyo! As long as you participate in this draft, you may be admitted to the Jiaofang Division." The woman said with surprise on her face.

Her sister also laughed and said, "It's hosted by Xiao's Dental Clinic. Recently, Xiao Silang and the Jiaofang envoy have gotten close. This matter cannot be ignored. Sister, let's sign up!"

The young prostitute who was singing along the roadside also bought a tabloid, which looked exactly like her father who played the erhu.

The female prostitute couldn't hide her excitement, and said with a smile: "Sister Qinghu is the tutor. Dad, let me participate. I want to learn opera. As long as I am selected, I can get the guidance of sister Qinghu. What a great opportunity!"

Her father was pinching the tabloid, staring at the news and lost in thought.

The talent show is called "I'm Waiting for You in Tokyo". All geisha who are interested in opera and dance can sign up to participate. They have ten days to prepare, and then start the open-air audition in Bianjing's major tiles. Eighty candidates will be selected to enter In the preliminary round, enter the lotus pendant to continue the knockout round. In the end, the dance group and the opera group were eliminated, and the No. 1 entered the Jiaofang Division as an official...

His eyes seemed to be lit up, and he said: "Son, you sign up, this is a great opportunity!"

The old father took his daughter to perform in Sangjia Wazi for three years. Although he had nothing to do with it, and he didn't have the guidance of a nobleman, so he couldn't go to Goulan to make a lot of money, but he was always paying attention to the news in Goulan.

Opera is the general trend nowadays, and there is a lack of related actors. If his daughter passes the audition, he doesn't want to be in the top five. At least after entering, he will have Si Qinghu's guidance and learn opera skills. Even if he plays a small supporting role in the future, he can still be considered on stage Opportunity!

The old man closed the booth immediately, and followed the instructions on the tabloid, and went to a bookstore to sign up for the audition.

This issue of the tabloid spread to nearby Xijing, Luoyang, Beijing, and Nanjing the next day. After hearing the news, artists in those cities rushed to Bianjing to sign up, rent a house, and start rehearsing.

Ten days later, the audition started in full swing and lasted for seven days. On the second day, the 48 contestants were announced, 32 in the opera group and [-] in the dance group.

Inform them to form a team to rehearse on their own, and they can also practice without a partner.At that time, each of the [-] spectators at the Lotus Pavilion will have one vote, and they have the right to decide whether their favorite geisha can stay until the end.

These geisha who have entered the preliminary round have to go out to perform and give speeches in addition to rehearsals before entering the Goulan competition, so as to attract the audience to buy tickets and come in to vote for them.

So when it came to selling tickets, Xiao Tong almost ignored it, there were [-] geisha to help sell tickets, and there was also the popular tutor Si Qinghu, so why worry about it!

Eight days later, a rest day was the day when the opera "Song of Everlasting Regret" produced by Baishi Yaxing and starring Liu Qingmu was staged. Xiao Tong deliberately chose this day, and it was also at the same time as "Song of Everlasting Regret"-You Shizheng, in Lianhua The studio staged the first issue of "I'm Waiting for You in Tokyo".

Before you time, the sun was setting in the west, and the front yard of Xiao's dental shop was warmly illuminated by the setting sun.

Si Qinghu, as a drafting instructor, had already put on her make-up and walked in the front yard with Linger.

The face is slightly powdered, the hairpin is stuck with pearl hairpins and lake-blue Huasheng, and she is wearing an off-white cross-collar skirt with blue borders. Her makeup is light and elegant, and she looks like a mentor.

Xiao Tong just came out of the study and walked towards her.Looking at it from a distance, she smiled slightly, but there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes.

Ever since Xiao Tong came to inform the Jiaofang envoy that he wanted to recruit her to join the Jiaofang Division, she felt Xiao Tong's entanglement, and always felt that Xiao Tong wanted to tell her something, but she didn't think it through clearly, so she didn't bother her on purpose.

They were so busy with their own affairs that they hadn't talked alone for almost a month.

Xiao Tong walked up to Si Qinghu, smiled and said, "Qinghu, I just wanted to find you."

"The carriage has parked outside the door, I'll take you out."

"Aren't you going to see the scene?"

The two walked out the door and talked.

Xiao Tong said: "I have told you all the things that need to be paid attention to. After a while, I will make an appointment with the people from the Jiaofang Division, so I will not join in the fun. I believe you can select outstanding talents!"

Si Qinghu smiled and said, "Okay."

Arriving in front of Zhu Se's luxurious carriage, Si Qinghu raised his hand, Xiao Tong watched her the whole time, before Linger could react, she took a quick step and helped Si Qinghu step into the carriage.

"Be careful."

Before entering the carriage, Si Qinghu turned around, raised a smile, and took a deep look at her.

"Go back quickly!"

Xiao Tong said warmly, "I'll watch you go."

Si Qinghu's smile became bright, and the corners of his lips curved like a crescent moon.

She lowered the curtains.

The vermilion carriage pressed against the cobblestone road, heading towards the setting sun, gradually drifting away.

Xiao Tong watched him off, lost in thought.

These days, both of them have important affairs.She went to look for Si Qinghu several times, and found that she was either busy with auditions or new operas, and she didn't want to disturb her mind by mentioning that matter.Besides, there are few opportunities to get along with each other during this period, and there is no cross-line behavior between each other, just like a normal relationship.

Let alone mention it!

The carriage was jolting slightly, Ling'er looked at Si Qinghu from the side, and since she dropped the curtain, the corners of the young lady's mouth were raised and never fell down.

Ling'er couldn't help but feel relieved, "Miss has been frowning after letting go of things these days, and I finally see you smiling today!"

Si Qinghu smiled and remained silent.

Just now, Xiao Tong's cautious movements were all about her, as if deliberately telling her that she had her in her heart.

The entanglement that day may have something to do in my heart, and I haven't figured out how to speak to her.When she finishes tangling, she can listen to her at any time!

In the lotus shed and the talent show, all the [-] seats were sold out a few days ago, and it was almost the same time as You Shi, and all the audience were seated and waiting for the show to begin. The conversations on the scene were like rain.

The supporting teams of all the players wore uniform costumes and gathered together. Some held a long cloth with both hands on which the names of the players they supported were written, and some held the portraits of the players.

But with the largest number of people and the most imposing manner, the group of people sitting in the front row is not the player support group, but the mentor support group!

They were both male and female, and they were all dressed in uniform red-colored black-edged wide-sleeved gowns, which looked particularly eye-catching at the scene.A pair of hands raised high, holding a portrait of Si Qinghu, or a long cloth with "Si Qinghu" written on it.

Liang Feifei stood at the front, holding a rattle in her hand, facing the support group behind her, and seriously ordered: "Sister Qinghu will appear on the stage later, we will shout the loudest!"

Others responded well one after another.

"I'm Waiting for You in Tokyo", which the organizers and contestants have been preparing intensively for many days, officially opened with the sound of rumbling drums.

The on-site judges heard the beating of drums and gradually quieted down.

Eighty lovely male and female contestants with name tags around their waists came out one after another with the melodious music, the opera group was responsible for singing the theme song, and the dance group was in charge of supporting dancers.

The singing voice is mellow and melodious like mountain spring water;

The dance is flexible and beautiful, as vigorous and beautiful as a dragon swimming in fright.

Unlike the vigorous singing and dancing of the modern talent show theme song, this theme song is composed by Si Qinghu and choreographed by the Korean dancer instructor. , Vigorous and powerful!

The audience was in high spirits and their faces were always full of interest.

After the theme song performance, the contestants went backstage to rest, and the humorous male host came to the stage to read the program introduction, the list of sponsors, and finally introduced the judges.

Si Qinghu was the final introduction and the finale judge.On the way from behind the stage to the front of the stage, thunderous cheers erupted from the auditorium.

Liang Feifei and the people from the support group cheered and shook the rattle, and the person holding the portrait and the name of Si Qinghu cheered and swayed from side to side in excitement.

Although the other judges were not so fanatical to join the support group, almost all of them had watched "Mulan", liked Si Qinghu, and when they heard the shouts of the support group, they were also infected.

In an instant, the momentum was like ocean waves, wave after wave, overwhelming and turbulent!

The other three judges, Aunt Ruyi, Lord Jiaofang, and the dance judge Pu Ji looked back at the crazy audience in amazement.

Then, Pu Ji's face turned jealous, and she hummed softly pretending to be disdainful.

Everyone knew that the adults looked at her and smiled knowingly.

Back then, Pu Ji had promised Mrs. Hua to be a dance judge, but the condition was that she would be the lead judge and make an appearance at the finale. However, Xiao Tong was unwilling to let go and strongly defended Si Qinghu's leading role.

Now, judging from the audience's reaction, Xiao Tong's toughness really has confidence!

Si Qinghu's cheeks flushed with shame, he saluted the audience in front of the stage, and after saying hello, he walked up the steps to the judges' seat facing the stage, and sat in the middle, next to Pu Ji.

The [-] selected contestants are divided into dance group and opera group. They can perform with their partners or alone.All the contestants performed on stage in the first three nights, and the judges scored according to the pros and cons of their skills.

The audience can start voting only after all the geisha show up, and each audience will get one point!

After all the contestants have performed on stage, they will be divided into groups for rehearsal, and the knockout competition will start five days later.

The first group consists of four contestants, from the opera group, from Qingyufang.

Si Qinghu and Aunt Ruyi were also surprised when they learned that the four geisha from Qingyufang had been selected.

Isn't Qingyufang cooperating with the Bai family?He was supposed to be against the Xiao family, so why did he send someone to participate in the draft?Besides, Liu Qingmu's "Song of Everlasting Regret" is also being performed tonight. Is Qingyufang going against my family?

In the end, they came to the conclusion that Aunt Yu and Liu Qingmu had broken up, and they began to turn to Xiao Shiya.

These four geisha perform "Mulan" performed by Si Qinghu. The part where Mulan bids farewell to her parents and sister before going out to war is almost the most exciting part of the whole play.

Si Qinghu had to admit that they were very good at choosing!

After the performance, four geisha stand in a row.Before the judges could speak, the young female geisha who played Mulan couldn't wait to ask, "Senior Sister Qinghu, how is my performance?"

Her round eyes were shining brightly, obviously she admired Si Qinghu very much.

Si Qinghu doesn't know her, so she should be new to Qingyufang. She has no grievances or enmity with her. In line with the principle of fairness and justice, she smiled and commented gently: "The four of you are very good at choosing plays, and there is no such scene in this one." Martial arts moves are very good at expressing acting skills and singing, but your acting is not good, and the singing is also imitating, without your own characteristics."

The four geisha bowed their heads, looking ashamed.

Park Ji wears heavy makeup, pointed and thin face, phoenix eyes, and is a standard North Korean.

Dressed in red clothes, crossed his legs, crossed his hands in front of his chest, sat tight, smiled disdainfully, and said, "So, you guys, if you don't learn tricks well, flattery and flattery are the same thing. set!"

Everyone understood that Park Ji was alluding to the clips of these geisha playing "Mulan" to flatter Si Qinghu, and even sweetly called her senior sister to a person who was no longer her classmate.

The audience and those who sat aside and wrote news and gossip all lamented that they deserved to be the teacher of the Jiaofang Division, with strict requirements and harsh words!

The little girl who played Mulan immediately had red eyes, lowered her head, and two tears fell down. The geisha who played Mulan's mother hugged her to comfort her. She sniffed and wiped away her tears.

Si Qinghu couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Chinese opera is a new art, you are the first to come into contact with it, as long as you practice more, you will have a place on the stage in the future."

Several geisha bowed to the instructor seat, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qinghu."

After discussion, the judges gave scores. The geisha who played the role of Hua Mulan sisters entered the fourth place, and the geisha who played the role of parents entered the third place.

Next came the geisha of the opera group. A male geisha and a female geisha were only 15 years old. They performed the famous historical story "Farewell My Concubine". Overlord.

The dramatic tension is high, the geisha's performance is remarkable, and the audience's emotions are also mobilized extremely nervous. When Yu Ji drinks the poisoned wine, the audience weeps and lifts their sleeves to wipe.

After the performance, the two geisha obediently stood on the stage waiting for comments.

After Mr. Duzhi made a few comments, Si Qinghu said: "The contestant who played the Overlord of Chu, your acting and singing skills are passable in my opinion. You can't see the trace of a girl at all in the Overlord of Chu, But after [-] days of rehearsal, he is so mature and talented!"

Chu Overlord saluted and said, "Thank you, Teacher Qinghu."

Si Qinghu said again: "But for the contestant playing Yu Ji, you have a move that presumably confiscates your manly nature."

"When you drink poisoned wine, you raise the glass to be soft and weak, but when you drink, you drink it down very boldly. Remember that you are Yu Ji, and what you drink is poisoned wine!"

The audience let out a shallow laugh.

Pu Ji laughed twice, and said: "I, a layman in dancing, can see it, you look so heroic when you drink poisoned wine, you look like you want to have another drink!"

The audience burst into laughter.

The geisha who played Yu Ji lowered her head and blushed.

Si Qinghu said earnestly: "Yu Ji's suicide is the most important part, and going on business here is enough to show that your performance is unbearable, so you have to pay attention in the future."

According to Xiao Tong, for the effect of the program, in addition to commenting and scoring, the judges also need to interact with the contestants and ask them about their experiences and thoughts.

Aunt Ruyi said: "Liu Sanlang, seeing that you are so young, only fifteen, I heard that it is not easy for you, would you like to confide in everyone?"

The contestants also knew that there was such a link in the show, and they all went through their experiences before going on stage.

Liu Sanlang thought for a moment, his emotions became more emotional, and his face was a little sad, "I..."

"You can speak in your own voice!" Pu Ji stopped him immediately when she heard that he was used to speaking with a female voice.

Liu Sanlang nodded, and said in a male voice: "In my family, it is very difficult, since childhood..."

He had tears in his eyes, choked up, and sniffled. His partners, judges and audience all looked at him sympathetically.

"My mother told me since I was a child that I should not have been born in this world! My name is Liu Sanlang, and everyone can guess from the name that I have two older brothers. At that time, my parents often talked about wanting a daughter. After marrying me, I went to the Taoist temple to ask the master to have a fortune-telling. He figured out that I was a man, and planned to go back, so he fell for me. Fortunately, the master stopped them. The master said that I will be the child who can make the most money in the future. And my parents must have three sons in order to have a daughter, in order to have a daughter, my parents gave birth to me!"

Liu Sanlang choked up a few times, and continued to mourn and indignantly said: "But my parents never treated us three brothers as children. In order to save my sister's dowry, I was sold into the teaching workshop when I was six years old. The teaching workshop includes food and housing, and I earn money from performances." Parents of Qian didn’t leave me a penny. Jiaofang only had two meals a day. I was so hungry at noon, but I couldn’t afford half a copper coin to buy steamed buns! My two elder brothers worked hard day and night just like me. The fields you planted so hard will be my sister’s dowry in the future! When my sister gets married, we brothers and I will be homeless without land or property!”

Everyone sighed after hearing this, but most of them expressed their understanding of his parents.

Aunt Ruyi said: "Oh, extravagance is prevalent in marrying girls in this world, and no good family will want a girl without a generous dowry. For your sister, please bear with it!"

Pu Ji also said: "That's right, you're a boy, and the real estate and fields can only be built by yourself!"

Liu Sanlang looked at them in disbelief, and tears rolled down his face, "Is even the teacher the same as others? I cried to many sisters in the teaching workshop, and they all said that I could bear it, and that if it wasn't for my sister, I couldn't be born." Be a man."

"But why don't you talk about my parents, don't have a daughter if you don't have the ability to save the dowry?"

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and heard an audience say: "It seems a little bit right."

Si Qinghu looked at the little boy with tears all over his face, handed out the towel in distress, and said, "Wipe it off!"

The handyman at the scene ran over to bring the handkerchief to Liu Sanlang. Liu Sanlang wiped his tears and looked at Si Qinghu gratefully, "It would be great if all the women in the world were like Sister Qinghu. I will definitely marry Qinghu when I get married in the future." Sister Hu is like this."

"Hehe!" Si Qinghu smiled awkwardly.

Xin Dao, I just did the reaction that a normal person should have, how can He De be so flattered by him?

If a 15-year-old girl was crying like this on stage, she would not only pass the handkerchief, but also hug her on stage to comfort her.

Results announced.

Si Qinghu looked at Liu Sanlang, and announced in a gentle voice: "Although your experience is quite distressing, among our judges, strength is the most important thing. The one who enters the third class, Jade Square, Liu Sanlang!"
