Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 277

But in his heart, he was not angry, the emperor actually loved and pitied the lady of Chu State so much! Last night in Feishuang Hall was not enough, so he chased him to Hehuan Hall early in the morning!Everyone thought of this, and felt a little depressed in their hearts.

Chen Sisi hurriedly said: "The concubine has been waiting to enter the palace for some time, but she has never had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Chu. It is because the concubine and others have lost their manners. Therefore, our sisters are more likely to come to visit Mrs. Chu. It's good to get closer, isn't it?"

Chen Sisi's words were reasonable, and the emperor's tone softened, saying: "Chen Zhaoyuan has a heart! You are right, and I will spend more time with Mrs. Chu in the future!"

Seeing that Chen Sisi attracted the emperor's idea, Feng Tianai couldn't help being a little anxious, so she took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty! My concubine has always admired the incomparable beauty of Mrs. Chu, so I specially learned a skill in tea art. I wonder if there is such a thing?" It is an honor to make tea for the emperor and Mrs. Chu?"

Yang Yu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Sister Chongyuan has a heart, what can I do, sister?" The emperor couldn't help but look at Feng Tian'ai more, and said: "Oh? Concubine Ai is really sweet, I'm just waiting to drink yours Tea!"

Chen Sisi and Feng Tianai are considered respectful, but those Jieyu are quite disrespectful. Since entering the palace, they just looked around, which made Yang Yu very displeased. It seems that these people are relying on Are you pregnant?
Yang Yu laughed and said, "Then I'll bother my sister! It's just that there might not be any good tea in the Hall of Hehuan! The Jieyu in the back should sit down quickly. Those who have a body should be more careful!" They The three of them seem to be in a good relationship, and even the clothes and accessories seem to be of the same style.Yang Yu sneered in her heart, what kind of sisterhood is there in the harem!Feng Tianai smiled and said: "The concubine's palace has fine Qujiang slices, this concubine will go and get them!"

"Oh? This is good tea. The palace and the emperor are waiting for Feng Chongyuan's good tea! It turns out that Qujiang thin slices are the best tea, and they were very precious in the Tang Dynasty!
According to legend, Zhang Haocha, a famous official in the Han Dynasty, first traveled around the world after Xie Guan, and then led his disciples to live in seclusion and practice Taoism in Zhangjiachong, Shenji Mountain, Anhuaqu River, located in the remaining vein of Xuefeng Mountain. Houses, and built temples, Taoist places.

At that time, Zhang Liang saw that the plague was raging everywhere at the foot of the mountain, the people were dying, and the houses were empty, so he used the tea leaves from Qujiang Shenji Mountain to refine them into various shapes of tea chips—later called flakes—to treat the villagers.Since then, Qujiang tea has become famous, and because the flakes are easy to carry and store for a long time, the common people all make this tea and drink it often for life without disease.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, local officials designated Qujiang tea as a royal tribute tea, and "Qujiang Royal Flakes" for short "Royal Flakes" got its name from this and gained a great reputation.

In the Tang Dynasty, local officials presented Qujiang royal flakes to the court, and the emperor was so happy after drinking it that he gave it the name "Qujiang flakes".

Qujiang is now Qujiang Town in Anhua County. The "Qujiang Flakes" tea, which is "colored like iron", is the early Anhua dark tea made by the hardworking and intelligent Anhua people.

Feng Tianai walked out, and Yang Yu saw the emperor looking at the Jieyus in front of him and smiling slightly, and those Jieyus were also full of charm, so she said sadly: "The treasures of this tea are produced in Anhua County. , the concubine can't help but think of Princess Anhua, where is she now?"

As expected, the emperor's expression changed, and he sighed: "Anhua has been traveling all over the world for so many years, and there is always no news. I am really ashamed of Xue Ji! Although she is born to be the lone star of Tiansha, she is my son after all. Flesh and blood, how could I not worry about it?"

Yang Yu hurriedly said: "Look at Yu'er's mouth, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. Princess Anhua is blessed by the Lord Buddha, so naturally nothing will happen!"

Yang Yu looked at those Jieyus and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Yu Jieyu who is very amiable, who is it?" That Yu Xiaoxian hurriedly got up and said, "That's my concubine!" Yang Yu Seeing that her appearance is not stunning, but she has a unique elegance and charm, especially a pair of eyes, like misty rain, making people feel mysterious and charming, Yang Yu couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, she is a beauty with unique charm! Bengong stays at Hehuan Palace, and I have heard of Yu Jieyu's reputation, Your Majesty! Is that right?"

Seeing Yang Yu looking at her with a smile on his face, the emperor couldn't help laughing and said: "Yu Xiaoxian's dance moves are very good, but she is pregnant now, otherwise, it would be an eye-opener for Yu'er!" The fairy's expression darkened. A long time ago, the fish screamed, wasn't he also the emperor?

Seeing Yu Xiaoxian's gloomy expression, those two people really became happy, Yang Yu couldn't help smiling slightly, it seems that the friendship between these sisters is really not very good!

Yang Yu showed a faint sadness, and said: "When it comes to dancing skills, in the eyes of my concubine, no one can match Xiangwu!" The emperor fell into a deep thought, and murmured: "Yes! Xiangwu's dancing skills are indeed unmatched! What a pity!"

This Yu Xiaoxian saw Yang Yu and the emperor talking to themselves and never looked at her again, so she was very embarrassed, so she sat down silently and didn't speak anymore.

When Chen Sisi saw Feng Tianai flattering her with the art of tea, she became anxious, could she be compared to her?Then he smiled and said: "Feng Chongyuan went to get tea, and won't be back for a while, my concubine should sing a little song for the emperor!"

The emperor couldn't help feeling excited, and said, "That's good too! Madam Chu hasn't heard it yet, so let's sing your best "Ta Yao Niang"!"

"Oh?" Yang Yu was also a little surprised, "Raise your hands to arrange the flowers, turn over and dance the brocade feast. Horses circle around, people press to see the circle. , how pitiful it is? Is it this Tayao girl?"

The emperor couldn't help admiring: "Yu'er is really well-informed, this is it!" Yang Yu couldn't help admiring Chen Sisi's eyes. "I didn't expect Chen Zhaoyuan to have such a skill, so I have to listen carefully! But who will choose this male role?"

"Ta Yao Niang" is a kind of singing and dancing drama performance that originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it is commonly called "Tan Rong Niang".Also known as "Treading Yao Niang".Based on folk tales.According to records: During the Northern Qi Dynasty (or at the end of the Sui Dynasty), Su Mou in Heshuo (the area north of the Yellow River) had a rotten nose and an ugly appearance. He had never been an official but claimed to be a doctor. He was addicted to alcohol and often beat his wife when drunk.Su's wife is beautiful and good at singing. She composes lyrics and music full of grief and resentment, and confides her misfortune.These lyrics and music have been enriched and developed in the sung, and the accompanying music has been added, gradually forming a song and dance performance.

The origin of the term "Ta Yao Niang", according to "Old Tang Book·Yue Zhi", Liu Binke's "Jia Hua Lu", "Tai Ping Yu Lan" quoted "Yue Fu Miscellaneous Records", is that the heroine kept shaking when she complained. The body; according to "Jiaofang Ji", it is said that it is "walking and singing", so it is called "Tayao Niang".After the phonetic transformation, it was renamed "Tan Rong Niang", also known as "Tan Rong Niang".At first, Ta Yaoniang's performance consisted of a man disguised as a woman, and she walked and sang. After each sung, she was accompanied by an accompaniment: "Ta Yao and come, and Ta Yao Niang, come and come!" When her husband appeared on the stage, the two started fighting .Later, the wife was played by an actress, and the husband was changed from "Langzhong" to "Uncle Uncle", and the comic character "Dianku" was added, forming a stage art that combines burlesque performances, dances, and corners.

What Yang Yu recited was the verses adapted from this story. It is a very special poem written by him. This is his only work, but it has become an eye-catching Tang poem with its unique materials and meticulous description. .

This poem has a success in artistic expression, that is, it not only focuses on describing the performance itself, but also appropriately describes the environment and atmosphere of the theater.This not only provides valuable information for the history of drama, but also plays a role in supporting the moon in terms of poetry and poetry.In addition, the verses for writing performances are divided into the first couplet and the neck couplet, each with its own focus.Written in this way, the processing of time and space is extremely flexible, which increases the capacity of the poem and enhances the expressive force of the poem.

There are two characters in a song and dance drama like "Treading Mother", and the protagonist is a woman who is good at singing and dancing, but she meets people who are not good.Her husband is an ugly, hot-tempered alcoholic. He has poor official luck and always takes out his anger on his wife.It can be seen that the heroine in the play is like "a flower stuck in cow dung", and it is easy to win the sympathy of the audience. .Jin Yan is a stage setting, and the two movements of raising her hand and turning over suggest that this female character is both talented and lovable.

Chen Sisi smiled and said, "The only one who has wronged Mr. Changman!" Yang Yu couldn't help laughing.Said: "It's quite appropriate!"

The emperor even laughed and said: "Okay! Chang Man, you can come with Chen Zhaoyuan for a while!" Seeing that everyone made fun of him, Chang Man felt displeased, but he couldn't see the slightest bit, flatteringly said: "The slave is lucky." So, I can't wish for it, but the servant is stupid and can't sing, I'm afraid it will spoil Chen Zhaoyuan's interest!

Chen Sisi sarcastically said: "Eunuch Chang Man is overthinking! How could I invite you to sing an opera together, just to put you on airs! If everyone knows how, wouldn't it be a joke that I have practiced hard for so many years?" He glanced at those Jieyu with a smile on his face.

Chang Man cursed inwardly: "What are you doing! You're just an actor!" But he said respectfully, "That's it, that's it!"

Yang Yu said with a smile: "Eunuch Chang Man only needs to act obscenely to make people disgusted. This is not a difficult task for Eunuch Chang Man, right?" Chang Man secretly hated, but he had to do it. Even though he was short, it was very funny to make that wretched action, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

When Chen Sisi opened her mouth, Yang Yu was shocked. It seemed that Chen Sisi was real!The movements and singing skills are both impeccable, the eyes convey emotion, and the face is the same as before, which makes people feel immersive and empathetic. Even though they only sang a short section, it is enough to make people obsessed!
