Private Partner Bureau of Folklore Series

Shi Jie said indifferently: "From now on, whenever he is free, he will go to my brother's partner to learn boxing!"

"No!" Chen Zifan wailed.

No one cares about him.

Guan Yixin nodded, "I'll send him there from now on!" Force|holding him down forcefully, the promise was solemn!

After the matter was settled, everyone turned their attention to the homework that Shi Jie just said.

After reuniting with Chen Zifan's father and his husband, he learned that they were still in the lion team. In order to train his son, he threw Chen Zifan to the couple to learn basic kung fu.In the spirit of a teacher, the couple arranged Chen Zifan's training time according to the amount of practice for beginners. Unfortunately, Chen Zifan cheated and played tricks, skipped many courses, and has not yet finished.

On the contrary, Guan Yixin, who occasionally sent her boyfriend to class, worked very hard and learned a lot, and now she is able to compete with Shijie's younger brother|brother.

Seeing the green light in their eyes like hungry wolves, Shi Jie took out a few business cards and handed them over, "This is a martial arts gym opened by my brother's partner's house. If you want to learn it, it's better to learn the formal one." .”

Deng Zhirong glanced at it, and praised: "I went there before and learned a little bit, which is very useful. The coach is very responsible, and it's a good martial arts gym."

Everyone accepted it happily. They were already interested in these martial arts. They can strengthen their bodies and prevent them from being young. What's more, there are so many masters among their friends, which arouses their desire to learn... except for Chen Zifan.

After the meal, everyone chatted for a while and then left one after another.After sending them off, the couple finished washing, put on the quilt and hugged each other to sleep.

Deng Zhirong had just officially resumed classes for a week, and immediately a big project came to him. "Shengong drama?"

"Yes, magic show." Chen Junping nodded.

Shengong Opera is also known as Shexi Opera and Rewarding God Opera.In traditional festivals, the people will hold a series of celebration activities in order to repay the grace of God, such as dragon and lion dances, setting off firecrackers, and will raise|raise|funds to hire troupes to perform operas as the main celebration activities. This is called Shengong Opera, and it is actually a kind of sacrificial ceremony.

This time Chen|Junping was invited to arrange a magical drama for the upcoming birthday of a certain god.

However, "Isn't it said that acting this is tantamount to announcing his retirement?"

Those who are qualified to appear in the magic drama are all the super old actors of Jingtong's height. It is said that only these old men can successfully invite the real gods, and express their gratitude to the gods and the emperor on behalf of mortals.And after the performance, the old ladies will almost always announce that they will never step on the stage again.Therefore, it is said that anyone who has acted in a magic show will be retired from it.

Chen|Junping smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, and we're not the leading actors."

Deng Zhirong shrugged, "Okay, when?"

"One and a half months later, the day before the city god's birthday. The actors are already there, it's just a rehearsal." Handed over a list.

The so-called birthday of the City God actually refers to the day when the city of Chuyue was founded according to the city annals.Legend has it that once the city is built, the City God will come and protect the city. Therefore, the day the city is built is the birthday of the City God.City God is also divided into several levels such as country, province, government, prefecture, and county; the one who sits in Chuyue is the city god Ming Linggong who is in charge of the province.

In recent years, Chuyue City has worked hard to restore the intangible cultural heritage culture, and has restored many intangible cultural heritage traditions that are no longer prosperous, few people are willing to inherit them, or even lost—well, they are almost lost.Such as paper-cutting, embroidery, porcelain making, dragon and lion dance, etc., and... Cantonese opera that looks prosperous, but actually begins to worry about its successors.

The above is the intangible cultural heritage, followed by the intangible cultural heritage festival.In addition to the Chenghuang Festival mentioned earlier, there are also Baidi Festival, Qixi Festival, etc. Among them, Qixi Festival was the first to be restored, and the celebration of Chenglong Lord's birthday was only heard this year.

For the restoration of the City God's Birthday, I have to thank the archaeological team who discovered the almost ruined City God's Temple. If it weren't for them, this ruined City God's Temple hidden in the old bungalows waiting to be demolished would really be|demolished !After the Town God's Temple was discovered, it immediately sent people to carry out rescue repairs. The government also spent a huge amount of money to demolish the old bungalows in front of the Town God's Temple, and opened up a large square. The ruins of the imperial palace left during the dynasty form a historical | cultural attraction.

After the rescue repairs were completed, the Town God's Temple reopened to welcome visitors, and the City God's Birthday was resumed after two years of rest and recuperation with the temple's staff in place.This time Chen|Junping took over the miraculous drama under such circumstances.

Because it is a form of sacrifice, compared with ordinary traditional drama, Shengong drama has more steps that must be done: inviting the gods; worshiping the ancestors for the first time; worshiping the local Bodhisattva; worshiping the god of drama-Huaguang Heavenly King; Taiwan; Chou Sheng opens the pen; offering incense at the mouth of the stage; routine opera; worshiping the ancestors again; celebrating birthday; returning firecrackers; smoking/grabbing fireworks; asking for cups; bidding for the winning thing; sharing pork and red eggs; closing the stage (sending to the teacher); giving away god.

Destroying the stage: If Cantonese opera has never been staged in the place where the theater is built, the troupe will destroy the stage.The traditional broken stage opera is "Worshiping the White|Tiger".

When Chou Sheng began to write, he used the pen to touch the cinnabar, and wrote the word "Daji" on the back table. Among them, the word "kou" of "Ji" must be opened for auspiciousness.

Example play: the sequence is Heshou; and the relatively simple Xiaoheshou.Usually the general troupe only plays Xiaoheshou. "Finance of the Six Kingdoms", "Jumping and Adding Officials", "Tianji Songzi" and other more festive dramas can be used as examples.

And such a set of procedures often takes a whole day, or even longer.As soon as Deng Zhirong got home, he devoted himself to the choreography, so Jiang Yuanfeng returned home and saw his lover floating around again.

Jiang Yuanfeng and the others bumped into Zhang|opened his arms and hugged him tightly, "What? Want a script again?"

Deng Zhirong rubbed his head on the side of his neck, and told him about Chen Junping asking him to rehearse the magic show together.

Jiang Yuanfeng smiled and rubbed his hair, "You don't have to think about it so much, the process of the magic show is fixed, we just find the right person to perform. Be good, go take a bath, and give me the list after dinner, let's go together consider."

After dinner, the two cuddled over the list and considered the drama to come.

Since it is the big day of the Chenghuang Temple and the birthday of the Chenghuang Lord, the example play is "Eight Immortals Celebrating the Birthday".The step of breaking the stage is necessary. After all, there were private houses there before, and it is impossible for any big drama to be staged there.In addition, some other excerpts such as "The Legend of Hai Rui" are interspersed.

Then the next step is much simpler. Based on the old men Jiang Yuanfeng met when he was working in the Cultural Bureau, and the information that Deng Zhirong brought from Chen Junping, I have seen the usual behaviors of the old men on the list. The performance, the arrangement of the performance was quickly settled down.

The whole process took only two days, and Deng Zhirong handed over the sequence of appearances and the repertoire to his teacher for review.Chen|Junping thought over and over again, made some adjustments, and then said: "It's ok. By the way, you and Xiao Jiang will also appear on the stage to play tricks... as a screenwriter's benefit."

Deng Zhirong nodded in response, thought for a while and said, "The next month and a half will be very annoying."

Chen|Junping shook her head and sighed, "Isn't that right! There's no way, the magic show has not been performed in Chuyue for nearly a hundred years. For this time, all the people in the guild hall are mobilized!"

The Cantonese opera halls in the three places also function as an industry association. Although it is not a universal response, the manpower that can be brought out should not be underestimated!

From setting up the theater to rehearsing to cooperating with each other, one and a half months is not a tight deadline.Even if the couple who were caught were only cooperating as side roles, even if they were walking around and showing off, they were very happy.And it is their dream to get to know so many elders at once!And in their plan, the disciples of these elders are the targets they want to fight for!

One and a half months later, on the City God's Birthday, Chuyue City, where fireworks and firecrackers have been banned for many years, ignited firecrackers for the first time.Hundreds of firecrackers rang, and the staff of the Town God's Temple and the citizens who wanted to come to pay their respects sat on the newly opened square | watching this magic show that had disappeared for hundreds of years.

Citizens who watched, ranging from [-]-year-olds to ignorant children, were all very involved in watching.

The couple stood on the stage in costumes, felt the great aura of the elders, felt the publicity of the plot, and deeply engraved this moment in their memory as their lifelong pursuit!

It was already late at night when the performance of the Shengong Opera ended, and the performers and staff were very tired. They avoided the crowds of citizens rushing to compete for incense sticks, and left the Town God's Temple in a car sent by the guild hall.

Halfway through, Jiang Yuanfeng answered a phone call, and his expression immediately became serious.Deng Zhirong, who sat beside him drowsily, asked, "What's wrong? Has something happened?"

Silently hugged him, and kissed him on the forehead, "Rong, how about staying at the teacher's house tonight?"

Deng Zhirongqing | Woke up a bit, held his face with both hands, looked deeply into his eyes, "Is there any problem?"

Jiang Yuanfeng tightened his arms, "Don't underestimate me!"

Hugging him back, Deng Zhirong tilted his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Be careful!"

"En!" Jiang Yuanfeng's arms tightened again, and Deng Zhirong, who was in pain from being strangled, didn't snort, and gently patted his back.After a while, the two finally separated, Jiang Yuanfeng asked the driver to drop him off at the intersection ahead, got in the car that seemed to be waiting there, and left quickly!

Chen Junping came over and sat next to his apprentice, "Although I don't know what you are doing, you will be fine!"

Deng Zhirong didn't know whether to agree with her words, or nodded to comfort himself.

Recently, the life of the couple seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but in fact, both of them know that the Xiao family has the support of the foreign speculator, and it is impossible to give up so easily.This point can be seen from Jiang Yuanfeng's frequent running on both sides, and often holding | meetings with Deng's father and others to discuss.In addition, Deng Zhiyuan was also one of the members who participated in the blockade, and any changes there would be reported to the Patriarch first, so Deng Zhirong knew to some extent what the Xiao family and the foreign speculator had done.

As soon as I thought of Deng Zhiyuan, I made a phone call, "Young master, the Baker family has dragged the Hill family into the water again, and now various financial markets in China are starting to fluctuate|."

The Baker family is the foreign speculators hiding behind the Xiao family. It is basically certain that they did the few external economic shocks Huaxia encountered before!And the fund bond run by the Hill family caused a hurricane in Xiangcheng because of the news of bankruptcy! ——In other words, Xiangcheng has become an important battlefield for this blocking battle!

Deng Zhirong didn't know much about business and finance, so he had to order: "No matter what, we must keep them out of Xiangcheng, and then drive them out of Huaxia. It is best to let them always remember that Huaxia will never be what they want." Can shake!"

"Yes!" Deng Zhiyuan was about to hang up the call, but was stopped again. After the man on the other end of the call finished speaking lightly, he was silent for a long time before saying: "Young master, do you really want to..."

"You call me 'young master'."

"Yes." Deng Zhiyuan's voice was obviously weaker this time.

"Zhiyuan, don't let the seniors look down on you!" The senior Deng Zhirong mentioned was referring to Liao Qi.A generation of patriarchs have different special codes. When Deng Zhirong took over, he used his own knowledge of Cantonese opera to set up a code based on Gongchi notation, but Liao Qi used the codes used by the previous patriarch.

Liao Qi feigned death into Liao's house for unknown reasons, and sneaked into Xiao's house for many years as an undercover agent. He recognized Deng Zhirong's identity as the young master at a glance, and secretly helped a lot.Now that Xiao Jinyang is in the mental hospital, he is the one who helps detain people and prevent them from making trouble everywhere.Deng Zhiyuan's current role is similar to that of Liao Qijia before his death. Knowing what the other party did when he was in power, I admire him very much!

At this time, when the person on the other side of the phone said that, Deng Zhiyuan cheered up and responded: "Yes!"

Hearing that he deserved it so simply, Deng Zhirong hung up the phone | and thought: I hope everything goes well.

For the first time, he hated himself for being ignorant of business, and now he can only watch his lover and friends around him stand in front of the charge, but he can't help at all.

Suddenly, his tightly clenched fist was covered with a soft hand, and the voice of his teacher sounded: "Although my work and Yingda's work are similar, they are actually very different. There is often a kind of helplessness. I feel the feelings of the other party, but as long as the other party is by my side, I feel that any difficulties will be easily overcome. Therefore, you don’t need to blame yourself.” After speaking, he patted his hands to show comfort.

Deng Zhirong nodded, thinking for a long time before making up his mind.

The next day, a man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, a shirt and jeans, and casual shoes walked into the "Sanru Teahouse" familiarly, walked to the office building behind the teahouse through the secret door, and looked at the front office. With the door closed, he asked the passers-by: "Is Jiang Yuanfeng busy?"

This is a client who is about to go home from get off work. Seeing him, he thought for a while and said, "When I came back this morning, Sister Ming came out and said that today everything will be decided by the manager, and then she went in and hasn't come out until now." Ming The elder sister is Jiang Yuanfeng's assistant, who was brought out from the Jiang family.

The morning tea at Sanru Tea House opens at five o'clock in the morning, and the clients on the morning shift basically come back more than an hour early to prepare,...so Jiang Yuanfeng is still in the afternoon from one o'clock in the morning to now? !
