Chapter 481: Watching the Drama (2-in-1)


The Chang'an City reconstruction project not only improved the original residents' dirty and messy living environment, but also re-planned a variety of infrastructure, Du Shaoqing's vision beyond the Tang Dynasty millennium, coupled with the ability of the master craftsman Yu Zhe, the newly built Chang'an City almost no one dislikes, not only the people, even the dignitaries and nobles have praised, not praise its majestic momentum, but praise its ingenuity and extraordinary, giving people a sense of great ingenuity.Speaking of shadow puppetry, the earliest record in history is in the history books of the Han Dynasty, so in the era of the Tang Dynasty, when entertainment and leisure were extremely scarce, whenever there was a shadow puppet performance, the people were vying for it.The Grand Theater is under the management of the imperial court, and the people can apply for the record when borrowing, and the imperial court will arrange it in a unified manner, which is very convenient.Du Shaoqing took his daughter, and his daughter's mount part-time guard Xiao Meow Meow was directly led by the management staff to the most central box on the second floor, where the view is the best.It's the first time Xiao Xuanxuan has heard of shadow puppetry when she grows so big, and seeing that the black pressure below is full of people, the little girl's face is full of curiosity."

Daddy, what is a shadow puppet show?

Is there anyone who, like you, likes to tell stories at night?

With so many people messing around, how can everyone hear the storytelling?

”Du Shaoqing put his daughter on his lap and explained with a smile: "It's almost, but they don't tell stories alone, but use shadows to represent a person and help tell stories, and you'll know when you see it in a while."

Now everyone is looking forward to watching the play just like you, and no one will speak when it starts in a while, so you have to obediently abide by the order here, and you are not allowed to speak to affect everyone's watching the play, remember?

”"Uh-huh, remember!"

The little girl was well-behaved and cute in her father's arms, and after saying this, she directly covered her mouth with her hand.At the same time, he also signaled his little friend, and the little meow also blocked his mouth.Not to mention, this big cat is estimated to be almost fine, really lying on the ground, obediently learning from Xiao Xuanxuan, with his front paws in front of his head, Du Shaoqing almost laughed, this person is really too cute, I don't know how my daughter communicates with the big cat, this can be taught.In fact, there is nothing strange about the super high IQ of animals, and many people who love pets in later generations know that the intelligence of many animals simply refreshes people's three views, not to mention anything else, the most common huskies can be seen.So it's not unusual for a tiger who grew up in a crowd to learn to be smart.It didn't take long, and at the opening moment, the audience's voices gradually lowered, and an old man with a long beard walked to the middle of the stage and greeted the audience: "Everyone, our Jiangnan shadow puppet troupe is fortunate to come to Chang'an and present a good show to everyone.This year's play, since the beginning of the year, we have performed everywhere we went, and we have almost walked half of the state roads of the Tang Dynasty, and everywhere we go is well received, I believe everyone will like it.Next, please enjoy the new drama shadow puppet play, God punishes unfilial sons!

”After this man finished speaking, he turned around and retreated, and the audience was silent, and even the lights went out.Xiao Xuanxuan was very uncomfortable with this kind of complete darkness, grabbed her father's clothes, and whispered, "Daddy, how is it gloomy?"

Will there be bad guys?

”Du Shaoqing lowered his voice and comforted: "No, it's about to start, you see, isn't this lighting up?"

”"Ah, really, really, the shadow, I see the shadow" said okay obedient and silent?

Can't help but shout at the beginning?

Du Shaoqing hurriedly covered his daughter's mouth, and the latter remembered that he knew that he had done something wrong, so he shrank his neck in fright, but his eyes did not leave the bright light on the stage for a moment.Du Shaoqing couldn't help laughing, and said that the child would just watch a novelty, just listen to the name, it is about the role of an adult, I'm afraid it's not my daughter's young age, and when she can't understand it for a while, it is estimated that it will be boring.A black figure soon appeared on the curtain on the stage, and the narrator also began to tell the story: "It is said that in Chang'an City, there is a dignitary surnamed Du" With the performance of the shadow puppet show, gradually, the smile on Du Shaoqing's face disappeared.The little girl listened attentively, the child was smart, not only did she not understand, but on the contrary, she muttered a little excitedly: "Ah, it turns out that it is telling the story of our family, there are fathers and second uncles and third uncles and grandmothers."

Well, I just don't know if there is me?

”That's right, this shadow puppet show tells the story of the Du family in Chang'an City, and the title is God's punishment for unfilial sons, and it is about the ugly thing of Du He poisoning his own mother.Du Shaoqing couldn't help but second, why is there such a play?

Listening to this person's story, although it is slightly exaggerated, the general context is not the same, indicating that the writer of this play must have quite accurate information.No matter how the Du family says it, they are also powerful people in the dynasty, and the shadow puppet troupe is just a group of ordinary people, how dare they expose and criticize the family ugliness of the nobles like this?

Is someone behind it, or is this group of people having an enmity with the Du family?

For a while, Du Shaoqing fell into deep thought.The level of this troupe is still quite high, otherwise it would not be possible to have the ability to perform at the Chang'an Grand Theater, as the story progresses, the heartstrings of the audience are also lifted once, sometimes nervous, sometimes angry, sometimes moved, sometimes cheering Xiao Xuanxuan broke away from her father's arms, let Xiao Meow stand up and walk to the window, sit on the big cat, bite her fingers to watch the play.When this play was staged to the end, the ending was a thunderstorm that punished the unfilial son, and Du He was killed by the five thunderbolts on the street.Although the people of Chang'an knew that this was an exaggeration by the other party, and Du He was killed by the people, not by thunder, this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for watching the play.The cheers of the people made Du Shaoqing come back to his senses, and take a closer look, where is the girl?

Where did it go?

Is this still worth it?

Watching a shadow puppet show and losing your daughter?

In the next second, Du Shaoqing saw a colorful tiger in the audience below, Xiao Xuanxuan rode a big cat, like a little general, and went straight to the curtain on the stage.Before the audience had time to react, the big cat had already pounced, and the curtain was directly torn down, revealing a few people behind.Where have those people seen this meeting?

A good tiger in Chang'an City?

So they were all scared stupid.Xiao Xuanxuan angrily pointed at a few people and scolded, "Who are you?"

Why do you say that about my third uncle?

My third uncle is a good man, he didn't poison my grandmother, he didn't die by thunder, and now he is fighting outside.If you say this bad things about my family, you will be beaten, and my little meow is super fierce and super fierce.Come on, little meow, show them the fierce one!

”As he spoke, he patted the big cat under the seat, and the big cat cooperated and roared at a few people.In an instant, the audience was so frightened that they ran around, for fear that they would be hurt by the tiger, and the staff did not dare to come up to maintain order.Among them, there are also people who are not afraid to stand up, these are common small meows, knowing that this tiger does not hurt people, so they are not afraid."

Little princess, I'm afraid you are young and ignorant, Du He poisoned his biological mother, that is, your grandmother, this matter is true, and your father also knows it, so these people are not talking nonsense, everyone can testify."

Xiao Xuanxuan turned around angrily and asked: "Impossible, I was also in Chang'an when my grandmother was sick, and my father cured me, saying that my grandmother took the wrong medicine herself, not the poison of the third uncle, you bad people, why did you wronged my third uncle?"

”The people laughed one after another, the child's words are really naïve, it is clear that the divine doctor deliberately coaxed the child, how can he tell the truth?"

Isn't it, you can go back and ask your father to know, so many of us testify, we won't all tell lies, right?"

Someone persuaded him.Xiao Xuanxuan was so angry that her teeth itched, "Hmph, who knows, maybe you guys will lie to me together?"

In short, my third uncle must be a good person, he was not killed by thunder, and he fought in the Northeast in a good manner.You bad guys, I warn you, if I hear you talking nonsense about my third uncle, I'll let Little Meow eat you all one by one" At this time, the old man in charge of the troupe stood up boldly, "Whose child are you?"

Why stand up for Duhe?

”Someone next to him quickly explained: "This is the little princess of Xuanyang in Chang'an, the daughter of Du Shaoqing's divine doctor and Princess Changle, and Du He is the third uncle of the little princess." ”The old man in charge nodded, and said to Xiao Xuanxuan with a straight face: "Child, you are young and ignorant, and you don't understand the good and evil of people's hearts, go back, don't make trouble here, whether Du He is good or bad, your family knows best." ”"Yes, little princess, since you remember your grandmother's illness back then, do you know that Du He was beaten to a cripple and his hands and feet were broken, if he hadn't done something bad, who would have beaten him into a cripple?"

An insider reminded.I, my little Xuanxuan remembered this, and I didn't know how to answer, she didn't want to admit that her third uncle would poison her grandmother, so she just sat on the back of the big cat and cried loudly.Now the audience is embarrassed, what's the situation?

How is this scene like a group of us surrounding and bullying a child and making them cry?

What to do?

Who's going to coax you?

When the little meow saw that the little master was bullied and cried, he was immediately furious, and roared at the last person to speak, and was about to pounce on him, but the man was so frightened that his soul was scared, he stood in place and closed his eyes.But when he opened his eyes, he found that there was no death, and a tall figure in front of him stood with his back to him.Xiao Xuanxuan shouted with tears in her eyes: "Daddy, they are all bad people, they are all talking bad about the third uncle, the third uncle is a good person, right?"

”Du Shaoqing stepped forward to hug her daughter with a relieved face, carefully wiped away her tears and comforted: "Of course, your third uncle is a good person.Let's go home, don't scare anyone here. ”Xiao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "Hmph, scare them to death, a bunch of liars." ”At this time, the steward of the shadow puppet troupe stood up and scolded Du Shaoqing: "Could this be Chang'an Du Divine Doctor Du Concubine?"

Listen to you, do you want to open your eyes for Duhe?

”Du Shaoqing paused, glanced back at the man coldly, and said disdainfully: "I'm talking to my daughter, do you want you to talk more?"

”The old man instinctively took a step back, but then stepped forward and said loudly: "As we all know, Du He poisoned and murdered his biological mother, this kind of behavior is angry and resentful, and it is the first unfilial piety in ancient and modern times.Dr.

Du is famous, is it necessary to be ignorant of his conscience because of his intimacy?

”Du Shaoqing stared at the old man, and said with deep meaning: "Who made you famous for your younger brother like this?"

He did not hesitate to leave his hometown and travel half of the Tang Dynasty for a year, and he didn't even go home during the New Year's Festival, and ran to Chang'an City, thousands of miles away?

”The old man looked stunned, and then turned red and said: "Don't spew blood, don't spew blood, the old man leads the team to run all his life, he is innocent, never for fame and fortune, and he is not instructed by others to do things."

Although we are small people in the market, we are not as noble as the horses, nor are we as famous as the horses, but we are not so wanton and humiliated. ”The person in charge of the Grand Theater approached and explained to Du Shaoqing: "Master Horse, their Jiangnan shadow puppet troupe is very famous, and it is rumored that they do not seek fame and fortune, but only to punish evil and promote good, so we can allow them to borrow the Grand Theater to perform." ”Du Shaoqing was noncommittal, the old man stared at Du Shaoqing like a fire in his eyes and said: "Old man, I am fifty and six this year, when my family was poor and caught up with famine, my father and mother would rather starve to death than leave the last bite of food for me to live."

So my regret in this life is that I didn't honor the two elders for a day, even if I took care of them for a meal, I didn't have a chance.Ordinary people want to have filial piety from their parents but can't get it, then Du He is good, his biological mother finally supported him to grow up, but he didn't know filial piety, but poisoned and mutilated?

How can such a great evil survive in the world?

That is, the old man was not in Chang'an back then, if I had been present at that time, I would have eaten this flesh and blood life, not just breaking his limbs and leaving him in the world. ”Du Shaoqing was taken aback by this old man's monstrous hatred, this is too raw, my brother and you don't know each other, but it is like killing your parents, tsk, you are ruthless enough!

Even Xiao Xuanxuan, who listened to a rough idea, was so frightened that she lay in her father's arms and was silent.The audience who didn't leave around whispered, "The Tang Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and there is no room for people who are unfilial to their parents in the world, Du He should be killed!"

”Xiao Xuanxuan looked at her father in a daze and whispered, "Daddy, let's go back, here, I don't like it here." ”Du Shaoqing had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't expect that more than two years had passed since that incident, and to this day, the people still have such a big grudge when they mention it, if you look at it this way, if the third brother wants to stand up and be a new person, I'm afraid it will be difficult!
