To put it simply, Baixiyuan is a stage play. It is no longer the traditional opera, and the actors no longer need to wear heavy and complicated makeup.
However, in the play Havoc in Heaven, some of the characters are monsters themselves, and their makeup is more sophisticated and difficult to produce.
Havoc in Heaven is now only performed once a month, but because of Jiang Sui, the show started before the end of this month, and many people came to watch it after hearing the news.
The scenery on the stage is also very carefully designed. I don’t know where Xia Wanning got the costumes of the monkeys from the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but they are all made furry and look quite realistic.
The costumes of Bull Demon King and his men are also such that one can tell at a glance that they are bulls.
Qi Xiuyuan and the others were watching with great interest. It was their first time seeing such a drama, so they were inevitably attracted, especially the final scene of havoc in heaven. The whole audience was immersed in the plot.
There are fights between demons, ghosts and gods, and the action design is also very clever.
When casting spells, the actors used lime to create the feeling of magic, and then achieved the desired effect as quickly as possible.
In ancient times, it was not easy to restore it to this state.
Jiang Sui admires Xia Wanning from the bottom of his heart. She is worthy of being the heroine and strives for perfection in everything she does.
The whole show took almost two hours, but no one felt bored because there were many interesting moments throughout.
After the opera ended, the room was filled with applause and many people gave gifts as rewards.
These rewards will be distributed to the actors in due time. They work hard in their performances and they deserve recognition and affirmation.
However, the largest denomination of a silver ingot is only ten taels, but with so many people, there will always be one or two that are eye-catching.
For example, sitting in Room No. 2 next to Jiang Sui.
"The Emperor's Second Room, the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, is rewarded with fifty taels of gold!"
The servant serving upstairs received the gold reward and brought it down on a tray, shouting as he went downstairs, which really attracted a lot of attention.
Fifty taels of gold, worth five hundred taels of silver, was such a generous gift that everyone was astonished.
It is worthy of being the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, this is a grand event.
But it's normal. There is only one young lady in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. She has always acted in a high-profile manner and likes to be conspicuous everywhere.
"As expected of Kyoto, are all the nobles here so rich? He just spent fifty taels of gold. Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Qi Xiuyuan once again refreshed his three views.
His family was considered to be relatively well-off in Jeju, but he had never seen anyone spend money like this. Just for watching a play, he gave fifty taels of gold as a reward.
However, this kind of thing is just for fun. What other people want to do is their business. Money can't buy people's happiness.
Jiang Sui also adhered to the principle of supporting Xia Wanning and rewarded her with fifty taels of silver. He wondered if this would damage the dignity of the Emperor's No. 1 Room?
The show was over and there was no need for Jiang Sui to stay here any longer, so the group got up and prepared to leave.
Just as he was coming out, he ran into the guest from Tianzi Room No. 2 who was also about to leave.
I met the legendary daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping. Besides two maids, there was a young and handsome man beside her. He was wearing a jade-white brocade robe and his temperament was even gentler than Su Yanqing's.
Moreover, he revealed a pair of dimples while chatting and laughing with the daughter of Marquis Xuanping, which made Jiang Sui look at him a few more times.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the daughter of Marquis Xuanping. This girl, with her gorgeous dress and the jewelry on her head, is so dazzling, it's either gold or jade. If you don't know her, you might think she is a princess!
Moreover, her whole body exudes a pampered temperament, just like Jiang Sui said, with her head held high, like a proud rooster...
She was not a pushover. When she saw Jiang Sui and his group coming out of Tianzi No. 1, she stopped and looked at them all.
She was blocking the road and no one could get through.
Seeing that Jiang Sui was dressed simply, she looked at him with disdain, but when she saw Xiao Hechuan standing next to her, her eyes clearly lit up and soon she blushed.
What a handsome young man! He is more handsome than his brother and can be compared with His Royal Highness Prince Xun.
Xiao Hechuan felt a little displeased when he noticed her revealing look, but he didn't show it too obviously.
He was quite impressed by the daughter of Marquis Xuanping, who had done many "glorious deeds" in her previous life.
One of them is related to yourself. Have you ever seen a woman propose to a man?
At that time, he had only been in the Hanlin Academy for a year, but because of his outstanding abilities, he was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue.
At that time, he also ran into her by chance. She fell in love with him at first sight. Knowing that he was not married, she asked him directly if he was willing to marry her and even used her status as the legitimate daughter of Marquis Xuanping to pressure him.
He refused, and the daughter became angry and said that he was ungrateful. After a while, she actually took the initiative to propose marriage to him. By then, the whole Kyoto knew about this.
Xiao Hechuan had no interest in her and did not want to get married, but due to his official position at the time, he could not refuse, so he asked Helian Jing for help. Helian Jing agreed to the matter and went to meet with Xuanping Hou, and the matter was settled.
From then on, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping would hide whenever she saw him, and every time she did so she looked as if she had eaten a fly.
Xiao Hechuan was puzzled and asked Helian Jing what method he used. Helian Jing told him that he just told Marquis Xuanping that he was a homosexual and did not like women, so if he insisted on marrying her, she would bear the consequences herself.
At that time, except for the maid serving in Lanlan's yard, there were only servants around him in his house, not even a female fly, which confirmed the rumor.
No wonder she avoided me.
Later, after he became the prime minister, he found a way to clear himself of this stigma.
He found the most famous courtesan in Kyoto at that time and listened to her playing the piano for three consecutive nights. Only then did he break his reputation as a homosexual. By that time, he had already gained great power in the court. Marquis Xuanping knew that he had been tricked, but he dared not say anything.
Moreover, the Xuanping Marquis's mansion actually had a legitimate daughter who was living outside.
What was her name? Cheng Xueyun, I think?
"I thought the person sitting in Room 1 was some famous daughter of Kyoto, but it turns out she is just a nobody."
She started to mock Jiang Sui as soon as she opened her mouth, and looked down on her.
She acted in a high-profile manner and even when she came to watch a play, she would sit in the best private room. However, Bai Xi Yuan told her that the number one seat had already been reserved, and no matter how much profit she offered, the other party would not budge and would not reveal the name.
It was her brother Cheng Moyang who told her that he might be a member of the royal family and asked her to be more restrained and not to offend him, so she condescended to go to Room No. 2.
