Upon hearing this, Hu Bilan quickly reached out to support Zhao Luhan, and said with a wry smile,
"Father, what are you talking about? I think these things that urge the wedding are just to please the common people. Just because I have nothing, does that mean my daughter won't get into the bridal sedan?"
Zhao Luhan shook his head slightly, with a look of shame on his face, and said in a deep voice,
"That being said, my son lost his mother at a young age. Tomorrow he will marry without a dowry. How can I be worthy of your deceased mother?"
When talking about their mother, both of them shed tears secretly!
"Since ancient times, when a Taoist is poor, no one is willing to associate with him——"
"Old man, don't you know that the world is fickle—"
Hu Bilan's two lines of Xipi Yaoban singing were so sad and moving, and every word was heart-wrenching, revealing the truth of this world!
Many people shook their heads with sympathy!
No one cares about the poor on the street, but the rich in the mountains have distant relatives!
This is human nature!
Zhao Luhan also shook his sleeves and began to sing,
"My son is sensible and kind-hearted—"
"I can't hide my guilt, I don't care about my shame—"
"My poor daughter—"
The two of them supported each other and walked off the stage!
This scene made everyone in the audience feel heavy-hearted!
It is completely different from the magnificent scene in the first act!
One is the marriage of a lady from a wealthy family, and the other is the marriage of a daughter from a poor family!
They are both women, but their backgrounds are different, so the scenes of their weddings are completely different!
One is picky and picky, not satisfied with this one, not satisfied with that one, and the people below run around hard just to get something good that catches their eye!
The other one didn't have any dowry. Even if his father risked his dignity to go out and borrow money, no one would be willing to lend him a penny!
One day, one place, one high, one low, the impact of this drama comes out all at once!
The reason why the play "The Peony Pavilion" has become a classic is because the script is so well-written, analyzing human nature bit by bit for everyone to see, allowing people to empathize!
The best opera is like this, it can make you laugh, make you cry, and make you follow the emotions of the characters in the play!
After the two went down, two more clowns came out!
An old man and a young man.
"A flower in the hair!"
"Happy event has come to his house!"
"The two of you are best men!"
"I always want to make a fortune!"
It was immediately clear that these two were father and son, and their profession was best men!
In the past, a best man was someone who greeted guests for the host or performed ceremonies.
"Tomorrow, Miss Xue will marry into the Zhou family!"
"Miss Zhao is marrying into the Lu family!"
"The Xue family is the rich one!"
"The Zhao family is the one without money!"
"Tomorrow you go to the Zhao family, and I, Dad, will go to the Xue family!"
"Why should I go to the Zhao family and you should go to the Xue family?"
"The Zhao family is a small family with few etiquette and rules, while the Xue family is a large family with many and complicated etiquette and rules!"
"You are a snob, always trying to curry favor with the rich!"
"You're also a snob, looking down on those who have no money!"
"Why don't you just go to both houses by yourself tomorrow!"
"Good boy, if you dare not listen to me, tomorrow, you will go to the Zhao family obediently!"
After saying that, the old best man shook his sleeves, turned around and walked off the stage!
Looking at the old man's back, the young bridesmaid smiled cunningly, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile,
"Hey, I won't listen to you. Tomorrow, I'm going to Xue's house too!"
After the two of them left the stage, the band immediately started playing!
To the sound of cheerful tunes, a large group of people walked out from the stage door!
The two people leading the way were holding big gongs in their hands, and they were beating them so hard that it shook the earth.
Following behind were eight people, all wearing wedding clothes embroidered with the word "囍", and holding a large flag with the word "囍" also written on it, which looked so festive!
At the very end, Meixiang played by Sun Shengwu and Xue Liang played by Qiu Ledi were leading a sedan chair curtain that was more than two meters wide, with a big "囍" character embroidered on it, which was equivalent to a bridal sedan chair!
Someone was blocking the view from behind with a large flag with the word "囍" on it, preventing people from seeing what was happening behind!
However, everyone can tell from the feet exposed from below that the person behind the sedan must be Xue Xiangling, played by Lin Mu!
After this large group of people left, the sound of the band also faded away. The door curtain was lifted, and a listless little clown walked out!
The man was carrying a red flag on his shoulder, without even the word "囍" on it. He was holding a small gong in one hand and a gong hammer in the other, which he would knock weakly from time to time, but there was no sound at all!
Following behind was Zhao Luhan, who looked at the gong player with an unhappy expression!
Behind him was a curtain that was not even half the size of the previous curtain!
The sedan chair curtain just now was bright red in color, and was embroidered with various auspicious patterns. The big "囍" character in the middle made people feel even more festive!
But now the curtain of the sedan chair is extremely simple, and two ordinary red cloths are considered the curtain!
It was completely different from the scene with more than ten people playing music and drums just now. In addition to these two people, there was another person at the back, holding the sedan chair poles with both hands, and he was the sedan chair bearer!
Hu Bilan was alone behind the curtain of the sedan chair, following it with a wronged look on her face!
This scene made many people sigh again!
"Ah, you knocked hard!"
Zhao Luhan shouted dissatisfiedly from behind!
The gong master turned his head and said with disdain,
"Hit it hard? Do you know how much this gong is worth? If you break it, can you afford to pay for it? I told you that a little sound would be enough for you, and you're still hitting it hard? That's enough!"
A poor man has little ambition, and a thin horse has long hair!
Seeing that even a gong player could yell at him so loudly, Zhao Luhan waved his hands helplessly and continued to move forward!
After everyone went down, there was a sound of a mechanism ringing, and everyone was surprised to see that the board behind the stage turned a circle, and a pavilion-like set appeared.
There are three words written on the pavilion: Spring and Autumn Pavilion!
