EBE Chapter 249 Performance
Chapter 249 Performance
Watching the opera troupe and the fairy-like beauties busy coming in and out, the people could never have imagined that there would be free operas, singing, dancing and folk art performances in the square?
The people gathered in groups of three or five and began to discuss:
"I heard that the performances tonight are the Lingyun Opera Troupe and the singing girls of the Moon Over the West Tower. Is this true?"
"In the past, if you wanted to watch the singing and dancing at the Moon Over the West Tower, you couldn't get in without a few taels of silver. And the Lingyun Opera Troupe is even more out of the question. It's not something that ordinary people like us can hear!"
"Look, the stage has been set up, the stools have been moved in, and even the Royal Guards have come to help. It must be real. I just don't know who will get to sit on the stools and feast their eyes!"
"I can just stand back and watch from a distance, and listen a little, and that's enough!"
......
When everything was almost ready, Yu Jiuer picked up the hastily made simple loudspeaker and stood on the stage and said loudly:
“Today is the second day of collecting signatures from women for the petition, and it will remain in this square for another three days.
To thank the women who signed the petition, we prepared a song and dance performance to express our gratitude! The women who signed the petition could sit down first, and each person had only one chance to choose a seat, so everyone took turns to sit and watch.
Each performance lasts about an hour. Women who don’t get a seat don’t need to worry. They can wait for the next show or stand at the back and watch first! ”
There was no other way, there were too many people, so she could only stick close to the women who were signing, and the men could only stand far away and watch.
But even so, the square was still full of people. After receiving the news, Jun Mo sent another thousand Jinyiwei to maintain order.
Before the performance began, Yu Jiuer said to Liu Qingyun and Yun Niang, "The purpose of this performance is to collect autographs, so can the show you perform be themed around women's self-improvement?"
Liu Qingyun said proudly while pinching her orchid fingers: "Can't you see that I'm dressed as a woman now? Of course I'm here to help you collect autographs. Don't worry! My "Mulan Joins the Army" will surely dazzle their eyes and let them know that women should be self-reliant!"
The junior sister added: "We have so many scenes praising women's achievements. Just a few of them can make those women who are hesitant and dare not come for autographs feel ashamed!"
Yun Niang also said confidently: "Don't worry! Our Yue Man Xi Lou has always been based on the theme of women's independence, and we will definitely not let you down!"
"I've seen the song and dance of Moon Over West Tower. I was shocked by your performance of 'Women Are Proud Too'. That's why I can't forget you and admire you!" Yu Jiuer said to them with a smile, "I was too anxious. You all have more experience than me. I believe in you!"
"You should take a good break. With us here, we will definitely be able to break through 10,000 signatures today!" Yu Tao's voice came from the entrance.
Yu Jiuer asked in surprise: "Yu Tao, why are you here?"
"How can I not come to support such a grand and important event? I asked the waiters at Dongsheng Restaurant to make a lot of ice jelly and bring it over to reward you, and also give some to the women who signed their names to try!" Yutao raised the big spoon in her hand, her face full of excitement.
Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up and she praised, "Yu Tao is really thoughtful. If it weren't for you, what would I do?"
"You've been so concerned about the people of Yinshan, so I can't fall behind!" Yu Tao said to everyone, "Let's work together and try to sign tens of thousands of people today, okay?"
"Okay! Come on! Sign tens of thousands of people!" Yu Jiuer raised her hands, so excited that she forgot the fatigue of a day's running around.
"Come on! Sign tens of thousands of people!" The people busy preparing backstage also shouted!
Yutao ran out happily and brought in a bucket of ice jelly.
Yu Jiuer looked at the bucket of crystal clear ice jelly and smelled its refreshing flavor, her mouth was watering!
"I heard that the ice jelly at Dongsheng Restaurant is very famous, but I never had the chance to try it. Today I'm lucky enough to have it!" Liu Qingyun had already ignored her hard-earned makeup and ran up first, waving at Yutao, "Give me one portion first, I want to eat it just by looking at it!"
"Okay!" Yutao immediately scooped him a large bowl.
Liu Qingyun took a bite and her eyes lit up: "It's cool, tender, soft, and elastic. It's delicious! Is the chef at Dongsheng Restaurant so good? How can he make something so delicious? No wonder Dongsheng Restaurant's business has suddenly become popular in the past six months."
Yu Tao smiled and replied, "The business of Dongsheng Restaurant is all thanks to our Ninth Miss, and this ice jelly was also developed by our Ninth Miss!"
While eating, Liu Qingyun gave Yu Jiuer a thumbs up and praised her: "Yu Jiuer, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so amazing? Besides singing opera, my favorite thing is eating. It's really worth making friends with you!"
"I know a lot of things! You will know later!" Yu Jiuer was not modest at all.
Yutao covered her mouth and laughed in amusement.
How could Ninth Girl be a great cook? She just had a lot of ideas and often talked about them in a grandiose way, but it still required someone to try to cook according to what she said.
Fortunately, there are surprises every time you try!
As he was talking, other people backstage no longer cared about putting on their makeup and rushed over to grab the ice jelly.
It’s not that hot in mid-May, but everyone is busy all the time. It’s a great happiness to have a bite of cool and smooth dessert.
When the sky was full of colorful clouds, the performance finally began, drums sounded, and the square with tens of thousands of people suddenly fell silent.
The actors from the Lingyun Opera Troupe took the stage first and opened the show with a thrilling song "Mulan Joins the Army"!
The actors of Lingyun Troupe are really amazing!
With their superb acting skills, they portrayed each character in the play vividly, which moved people.
After just one show, the audience was already in tears and filled with emotion!
Yutao was originally distributing ice jelly to the women seated in the audience. At first, some women who didn't get any were a little anxious. But now, everyone was immersed in the opera, so who cared about the ice jelly?
Even Yu Jiuer in the audience couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. Seeing the hardships that Hua Mulan had to go through disguising herself as a man to join the army for her father, she felt the same way and her heart was filled with ripples!
After two sticks of incense, the opera performance came to an end.
Fairies from the Moon Over the West Tower flew onto the stage on billowing silk.
Yu Jiuer was stunned.
It turns out they built such a high rack just for flying around!
There is no modern stage smoke here, but the floating silk can give people a smoky feeling, which is no worse than the fairyland scene created by modern smoke.
She looked at the audience and found that they were already dumbfounded. Each of them tilted their heads up, staring at the "fairies" flying around without blinking, and they were extremely envious!
The men standing in the distance and watching kept clapping and cheering!
Yu Jiuer couldn't help but shake her head and laughed: "Looking at beautiful women, no man would not be excited!"
"What's so good about it? I can't cause any waves!" Shang Buqun sneered.
Yu Jiuer looked at him sideways and couldn't help but teasing, "Does it seem like you would be upset if a man performed on stage?"
His big sedan took up a large space. Before the performance, Yu Jiuer asked him to move the sedan and sit on a chair, but he refused.
He even said in a high-sounding manner: "What if those women accidentally fall on me? What will you use to compensate me? At least there is some protection in the sedan chair!"
Yu Jiuer was speechless at the time. She couldn't afford to lose his innocence, so she had to let his sedan chair stay in the first seat in the front row.
Fortunately, this stage was paved with the platform for announcing the results, and was much higher than the audience seats below. Otherwise, the men in the back who were blocked and couldn't see the performance would definitely have resentful him and might have set a trap for him halfway through.
Yu Jiuer was still daydreaming when Shang Buqun's voice came again: "Who wants to see a man's performance? You'd be fine if you went up there. Even if it was just the song "White Fox" you sang last time, it would definitely be more shocking than this!"
Yu Jiuer touched her chin and agreed: "Maybe I can use "White Fox" to stimulate those women again."
"Do you really want to perform?" Shang Buqun's hand that was resting on his head suddenly slid away, his eyes instantly filled with interest, "I'll play the piano for you!"
Yu Jiuer immediately waved her hand and said, "No need! No need!"
If she lets him accompany her, Jun Mo will definitely not be able to pass the test, and she doesn't want to get into trouble again!
"Because..." Yu Jiuer rubbed her forehead. What excuse should she use to reject him?
At this time, Jun Mo's voice suddenly came from the aisle next to Shang Buqun's sedan chair:
"I will play the piano and compose music for you!"
