After listening to Lin Susu sing this classic part of Mu Guiying, Lu Tao excitedly commented to Chen Pei, "That Fatty Liang wasn't bragging. My fellow countryman's foundation in Beijing opera is indeed very deep. Her voice is clear and bright, her movements are elegant and nimble, and her voice is melodious and pleasing to the ear. She must have received careful guidance from the successor of the Plum School. According to Fatty Liang, after she sings two more parts, it'll be time for the audience to pick songs. I want to pick a few parts of the Plum School's classics for her to sing. It'll be a feast for the ears, haha! "
Chen Pei looked at him with a smile and said in a low voice, "I rarely see you so energetic and your eyes so bright. It seems like you really like Beijing opera. Why don't you go up on stage and sing a part with her? Later, you can tell the host that he can pay a little more to let you go up on stage and enjoy yourself! "
Lu Tao smiled and shook his head, "A mediocre audience like me can't go up on stage. If I were to perform with such a professional actor, I'd only be a joke. It's better to just focus on the show!"
While they were talking, Lin Susu sang two parts of Ma Gu's Birthday and Da Deng Dian. Then, it was time for the audience to pick songs.
Lu Tao stood up first and said, "I want Miss Lin Susu to sing two parts of Farewell My Concubine. One part is' Watching the king sleep soundly in his clothes in the tent 'and the other part is' Persuading the king to drink and listen to Yu's song. '"
When he said the names of the songs, a waiter immediately walked up to him with a tray. Lu Tao took out six hundred yuan from his wallet and put it on the tray, then said, "I'll add another part. It's' The island's ice wheel first spins' from Drunken Concubine. Today, I've picked the best parts of Beijing opera from the Plum School. Miss Lin should be familiar with them, right? "
On the stage, Lin Susu heard Lu Tao's voice and stared at him for a while. Her eyes revealed a look of surprise. She nodded and said, "Sir, you know a lot about Beijing Opera. 'Farewell My Concubine' and 'The Drunken Concubine' are indeed the classics of Beijing Opera of the Plum School. The three parts you just picked are also my favorite. Thank you for picking them. I'll definitely sing them in my best state and satisfy you and all the guests present!"
Then, she went backstage to change into Yu's outfit and began to sing the first part that Lu Tao picked.
"Look at the king sleeping soundly in the tent.
I'm just here to relax.
He walked lightly towards the wilderness and stood still.
Suddenly I looked up and saw the clear moonlight. "
After this part of the song was finished, Lu Tao took the lead and applauded warmly. The whole performance bar was filled with thunderous applause and cheers.
With a smile on her face, Lin Susu bowed to the audience and thanked them. Then she began to sing the second part of the song.
"Advise the king to drink wine and listen to my song.
Jie Junyou danced and danced.
Ying Qin Wudao destroyed the rivers and mountains.
Heroes fought everywhere.
Since ancient times, the saying has not deceived me.
Success or failure, rise or fall in an instant.
Drink wine and sit in the treasured tent with ease.
Let's listen to the military report. "
When Lin Susu finished her last word, most of the audience applauded again, except for Young Master Min, who was yelling in a weird tone, "It's not good, the rhythm is too slow, too dragging, and she didn't even finish a sentence for a long time. I'm so anxious, what kind of f * cking art is this?! Give me another fast-paced one. It's best if there's some movement! "
As soon as he said that, all the audience turned to look at him with disdain.
Lin Susu was also stunned. She looked at Young Master Min and didn't know what to do.
Lu Tao couldn't stand it anymore. He suddenly stood up and stared at Young Master Min. He shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? This is the song I asked for. Miss Susu sang it very well. If you don't know how to appreciate it, you can get out of here. What are you doing here? "
Lu Tao's voice was much louder than Young Master Min's, so his shout was heard by almost all the audience.
Young Master Min turned around and stared at Lu Tao with his blood-red eyes. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves and scolded fiercely, "Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you ask me to scram? Have you eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts or have you lost your mind? "
When he scolded Lu Tao, the four men sitting around him all stood up and stared at Lu Tao fiercely. They looked like they were going to beat him up at any time.
Fatty Liang on the stage saw that the situation was not good. He quickly rushed down and bowed to Young Master Min while trying to persuade him with a smile, "Young Master Min, please calm down! It's probably the first time that young man over there has come to listen to our song. He doesn't know who you are, so he was a bit rude and offended you. A great person like you shouldn't hold a grudge against a lowly person like me. Please forgive him for my sake! Don't you want Miss Lin Susu to sing? After she finishes the next song, she will immediately sing the song you asked for. "
Chen Pei finally had the chance to drink and listen to songs with Lu Tao alone tonight. He didn't want to ruin his good mood because of a quarrel. He also knew that Lu Tao was a person who wasn't afraid of anything. In addition, he practiced martial arts. If they started a fight, it was very likely that he would hurt Lu Tao. Therefore, he reached out and pulled Lu Tao's sleeves. He tried to persuade him in a low voice, "Lu Tao, sit down. Don't quarrel with them on this occasion! They are people with no manners. You don't have to argue with them. If you quarrel with them, it will affect other people's performance and also lower your own status. Don't you think so? "
Lu Tao saw that Young Master Min had already sat down angrily under Fatty Liang's persuasion, and Lin Susu, who was on the stage, was also looking at them with a worried gaze. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Chen Pei's words made sense, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and sit down again.
Lin Susu saw that both sides had calmed down. Her face showed a relieved expression. She then began to perform the most classic scene in "The Drunken Imperial Concubine" that Lu Tao had asked for.
"The ice wheel on the island first turned
Seeing the jade rabbit, the jade rabbit rose in the east early
The ice wheel left the island
The universe was exceptionally bright
The bright moon hung in the sky
Just like Chang 'e leaving the moon palace
Just like Chang 'e leaving the moon palace
Just like Chang 'e going down to the nine heavens
Desolately falling on the moon palace
Ah, the moon palace
Leaning on the jade bridge, the railing
Mandarin ducks came to play in the water
Golden carp on the water
Ah, on the water
Wild geese fly in the sky
Oh, the wild geese
Wild geese fly side by side
Hearing the slave's voice, the flower shade
This scene is intoxicating
Unknowingly, I came to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion
