1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 611 Make friends with children for son and introduce girlfriends to students

In recent years, the old man, especially after he inexplicably became the leader of the Calligraphy Association, in his words, has given many lectures on TV.

Talking about calligraphy theory, talking about the rhythm of poetry, talking about stereotypes... The old man not only made unique achievements in calligraphy, but also made great achievements in poetry, painting, literature and other aspects.

Some people say that his calligraphy and painting are literati calligraphy and literati painting. This should be correct. The so-called calligrapher and painter are only extensions of his literati identity, not a prison.

He himself has said that his main job is teaching and educating people, and everything else is a side job.

Faced with such a machine taking pictures, he didn't show any disgust at all.

On the contrary, he was very cooperative and even joked with Director Wu to make him look more beautiful.

"Mr. Zhang, please lead Mr. Qi in and sit down for a while. The greenhouse has already been prepared with new tea and the latest flower snacks developed by Mr. Jin..."

This Mr. Zhang is Qi Lao's nephew, and he has been taking care of Qi Lao's daily life in his later years.

As for the greenhouse, it has nothing to do with the vegetable greenhouse. The idea of ​​a greenhouse has been around for a long time. Pictures record that before liberation, there were wealthy families near the bell tower in the capital, and they began to prepare to build the greenhouse after autumn.

The greenhouse they built was very particular. It was no different from building a house. To put it more bluntly, it was later called the sun room.

It’s snowing heavily outside the shed, but inside the shed there are still green bamboo trees and a sense of spring.

However, the greenhouse built by Lanyuan is not so particular about the formality. Instead, it simplifies the complex and creates a closed place based on the pergola.

This is similar to the large-scale color shed that dignitaries and dignitaries listen to operas in winter in the old age, and they will be built in front of the theater building.

Color sheds and greenhouses have the same function, which is to keep out the cold and keep warm. However, they have different architectural structures. Color sheds have very high technical requirements and cannot be built by ordinary people.

The magnificence of the color shed is depicted in the painting "Celebrating the Birthday" (Cixi's 40th birthday) in the Qing Dynasty.

Judging from the ironing samples of the color shed preserved in the Forbidden City, we can know that the color shed at that time was divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor was completely in the air and did not block the view. The upper part was wrapped with fine reed mats, but there were more than two hundred glass windows for lighting.

There are tents and roll-up windows at the junction between the colorful shed and the building, which can be rolled up or down to facilitate lighting and prevent rainwater from leaking.

The colorful shed has a flat roof, and the ceiling is covered with ivy flowers and passion flowers. It has thirty supporting columns that extend to the sky and the ground. They are all made of gold-plated dragon columns with high specifications.

The summary is one word: pay attention!
The greenhouse of Orchid Garden is conceived on the basis of these, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

Use bamboo to build a frame, use thick oilcloth as a cover, and have a height of three to four meters connected to the theater building. There are tables, chairs, and benches inside, and a carbon basin is placed for heating.

Luo Tao didn't ask why the old man came so suddenly. He knew that Mr. Qi had been suffering from cold recently and was in poor health, so he didn't invite him for the sake of his health.

After chatting briefly with Mr. Zhang, he and Shenzhi helped the old man into the hospital.

With Qi Lao's beginning, and seeing that the agreed ten o'clock arrived, Lanyuan was very lively for a while.

Distinguished guests came one after another.

"Be careful, help Mr. Pan in."

"Be careful, help Mr. Wang in."

"Be careful, help Mr. Shan go in."

"Shen...then Mr. Zhu, you are always tired, walk over there again.

No, you were walking too fast just now, and the camera couldn't keep up with your vigorous pace. "Luo Tao couldn't help but pull Mr. Zhu, and coaxed him to the corner of the street talking and laughing from the gate, preparing to walk through the plane again.

When the old gentleman learned that they were going to make a documentary, he looked very reserved and unnatural. He first checked his clothes and found that there was nothing wrong with them. He asked in a low voice if it was okay?
After getting Director Wu's reply, "That's okay, I'll stay with you until you grow old."

Luo Tao also saw the unnaturalness on Mr. Zhu's face, so he walked with him, and someone accompanied him to talk, so the old man would not pay attention to the moving machine.

Entering the door, "Are you ready?"

"Okay. Judging from the pace of your walk, you really don't look like an old man who has passed the age of immortality, but you seem to be in the prime of life."

Mr. Zhu ignored Luo Tao's sweet words and said to Shen Zhi on the side: "You kid must never imitate your teacher in the future. He always picks nice things to say, and I almost believe them."

Shen Zhipai said with a smile: "I think what the teacher said is too conservative. If I say you are old, you are one of the immortals. I don't talk about longevity. How can you be old and live as long as the sky..."

"Boy, please stop it! Why are you getting more and more weird as you talk..."

Luo Tao also had the same thought as the old gentleman. What Shenzhi said was too mysterious. It seemed that this boy had been reading a lot of books by Yong Daxia recently, and he had already compiled all the words in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

After some jokes, Shen Zhi didn't need Luo Tao's instructions this time, so he took the initiative to help the old man to the greenhouse.

"Brother, this kid Shen Zhi is starting to become naughty."

Luo Tao hesitated for a moment and then replied, "It's better to be cunning these days. Bookworms are not suitable for today's society."

After saying this, there was silence at the gate of Lanyuan for a while.

"Hello, Mr. Li, welcome." Mr. Li is the son of the late Peking Opera artist Mr. Li Wanchun (Monkey King of the North).

He and Luo Tao are not much different in age.

"You are welcome, it is so cold, please stand in the cold wind to welcome us..."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Luo Tao looked at the child leading behind him.

Then he asked: "Is this classmate Li Lei, who is known as "Xiao Wanchun"?"

This Li Lei is a famous Peking Opera prodigy in Beijing. He learned the art at the age of three. At the age of six, he followed his grandfather Mr. Li Wanchun on stage to perform "Havoc in Heaven" and played the role of Nezha in the play...all of which were well received by the audience. He is definitely a gifted person. players.

He was busy being humble for his son, "Everyone is looking up to you." Mr. Li pulled his son, "Why don't you know how to call someone?"

A child in his teens, although he is an old actor in the Beijing opera business, but on the social stage, he is just a child, very immature.

It is inevitable to be cautious and cautious when meeting strangers.

But he still understood the rules and turned to Luo Tao: "Hello, Mr. Luo."

Perhaps, because of his own son, Luo Tao is surprisingly fond of prodigies, especially those who are so cute.

"Calling me Mr. Luo seems too harsh. If you don't mind, how about calling me uncle from now on?" Luo Tao looked at the child at first sight and really liked him, but he would not accept him as his godson. .

Luo Tao was now well-known, and he could negotiate with a child in such a manner. This moved Mr. Li very much, and secretly hinted to his son, whom he had always been proud of, not to hesitate and agree quickly.

"Hello, Uncle Luo." The little guy also knew how to deal with the world, and after receiving his father's hint, he immediately shouted with a smile. "You're so good. He's much more sensible than that bastard of mine. If he could be half as capable as you, I'd be satisfied." Luo Tao didn't forget to hurt his precious son.

The name is loss, but it is actually to promote his own son.

This is a Peking Opera prodigy, a talent in this industry. If my son plays with such a person, it will be beneficial to his future growth.

Good friends mean to make more capable friends.

Little Li Lei couldn't understand the meaning, but Mr. Li had a clear mind and understood what Luo Tao meant.

Although he didn't quite understand whether Little October was what Luo Tao said, but with the idea that I am a hero and a good man, he first praised Little October, and then said that the two children could stay together more often in the future. .

"Okay, I'll let him come over later, you two get to know each other."

This quietly found a companion for his son.

After standing at the gate and chatting for a few words, Luo Tao saw that the children were a little tiptoeing and quickly let them in to warm themselves.

"Lezi, call home and ask your sister-in-law to bring little October and the little girl over to meet the young talents who are here today."

It's a bit cold today, and the little ones don't want to go out. I originally wanted to wait until the afternoon church service started before letting them come.

Now, in addition to Li Lei, who just entered the greenhouse, there are actually several children who have already come in. They are all about ten years old, so it is necessary for them to come over.

When Xu Le heard the sound, he entered the courtyard and ran to the south wing to make a phone call.

Luo Tao stood outside the gate and greeted several people in succession, such as Mr. Zhang Junqiu with his disciple Lei Ying, Mr. Fang Rongxiang with his student Meng Guanglu, and Mr. Li Shilin with his student Yu Kuizhi, and Mr. Ma Changli with his students Wang Yuchen and Mr. Zhang Xuejin. With students Zhu Qi... Yan Xingpeng, Qiu Shaorong and other new and old Peking Opera actors.

These young Peking Opera actors are all outstanding Peking Opera talents who stood out in the "First National Peking Opera Young Actors Television Competition" in 1987.

The protagonists of this year's Winter Solstice Hall are these young Peking Opera actors. This is also in response to the call from above. Peking Opera also needs to train successors, guide young actors, and give them a ride when they are supported on horses.

The style is also different from previous years. In the past, all the limelight on the stage went to those old artists who have been famous for a long time.

This year, young and old will be paired, with young actors as the protagonists and old artists as green leaves supporting them.

"Ouch! Master Jiu, you are finally here, I can't wait to see you!
I was wondering just now, wondering if I didn’t invite you this year!As I kept chanting, you came. "

Luo Tao really liked this Qingyi from the Mei School, and he had always enjoyed listening to it in his past and present lives.

"Excuse me for thinking of you, this is the annual winter solstice party in Orchid Garden. Even if others are missing, I cannot be missing. If I don't come, I will miss a lot of fun."

This is Pai'er, he speaks in a reasonable and fair manner and doesn't take anyone's arrogance at all.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Luo Tao's eyes turned to the two beautiful beauties behind him.

Beautiful is beautiful, but to Luo Tao who has eaten swan meat, they are nothing more than mediocre, and it is not rude to take a look at them.

"Mr. Mei, are these two the disciples you have accepted this year?"

"Yes, let me introduce to you, this is Li Shengsu, she is a young actor from HD Peking Opera Troupe. This is Xia Zijun, she is a young actor from Pingjiang Kunqu Opera Troupe.

They are all students I accepted in May this year. "

Luo Tao is not unfamiliar with Li Shengxuan at all. Later, "Hua Dan", the head of Peking Opera, was called "Goddess of Peking Opera" by the majority of Peking Opera netizens.

Yu Kuizhi and Yu Kuizhi, who just went in for a short time, are golden partners.

Luo Tao in his previous life listened to their arias a lot.

As for Xia Zijun, Luo Tao had no influence on him in his previous life and had never heard of him at all.

In this life, I paid more attention to Peking Opera and learned about it. She also participated in the "First National Peking Opera Young Actors Television Competition" in 1987. Like Li Shengsu, she was also an outstanding contestant in the Tsing Yi Hua Dan group.

This is the first time Luo Tao has heard of the Pingjiang Kunqu Theater organization.

I don’t know whether Gui knows, but this can’t stop Luo Tao from releasing his enthusiasm.

"I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time. I heard your singing in that Peking Opera competition you participated in last year. It was really good.

From now on, with Mr. Mei’s guidance, I don’t think we theater fans will be blessed again in a few years. "

Luo Tao's words made several people laugh.

"Hello, Mr. Luo." X2
The two of them were young and couldn't organize any words to reply to Luo Tao, so they simply said hello.

Shen Zhi's eyes glowed green, and he looked at the two beauties very implicitly.

One of these two is a typical northern beauty, and the other is a typical southern beauty. Each has its own beauty, and for a while, Shen was fascinated by it.

Luo Tao noticed it, no, everyone present should have noticed it.

After coughing slightly, Shen Zhi immediately dropped his gaze. Luo Tao then smiled and introduced Mr. Mei, "This is my student. His name is Zhang Shenzhi. He studies at Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College."

When Li and Xia heard that Luo Tao had accepted students at a young age, they were shocked. Before coming, they heard the teacher tell some stories about Luo Tao, but they did not expect that he had already accepted a disciple.

Mr. Mei was very gentlemanly and did not blame him for his rudeness just now. He smiled, stretched out his hand, shook hands with him and said, "I have heard others say that Mr. Luo has a student. I didn't expect to see him today. He is a famous teacher." A great disciple, amazing."

What Mr. Mei said was not a polite word, but the truth. He had seen Luo Tao's quality and cultivation before.

I have heard about him accepting students for a long time, but I don't have any feelings about it.

In addition, being able to study at the Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College is in itself very remarkable, and there is nothing wrong with saying that they are famous teachers and high apprentices.

"Hi Mr. May.

I don’t dare to take it as your compliment. It’s true that my teacher is a famous teacher. I’m just a bad disciple at best. "Shenzhi can be regarded as having half of the teacher's shameless skills.

What he said made Mr. Mei and his two disciples laugh.

As a teacher, Luo Tao had to stand up and criticize him at this time, and scolded him with a smile: "You are so glib."

When Shen Zhi heard his teacher criticizing himself in front of a beautiful woman, he did not dare to refute, and took two steps back timidly with a stern look on his face.
