Today, according to custom, it is the folk Splashing Han Hu Festival. At the same time, it is also the birthday of His Majesty the great Li Xian.
In the early days of the same day, Li Xian drove the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, accepted the congratulations of the military officials, foreign envoys, and even the emperor's relatives, and presented a return gift - a delicate windproof glasses.
After the work was done, His Majesty the Emperor put on his own myopic glasses, and together with the nobles, he drove the Vermilion Bird Gate and watched the cold play.
Of course, there are many nobles in Chang'an, and not everyone is qualified to watch a play with His Majesty the Emperor. Generally speaking, it is necessary to be an official of the third grade, and it is allowed to bring a family member.
"Huh? That's not right! ”
Vermilion Bird Gate, in a purple robe, there is a woman wearing a peony shirt with big sleeves, which is very conspicuous, it is Cui Geng's "family" Cao Yuechan.
It is said that Cui Geng now has three wives, Princess Anle Li Bao'er, Princess Pingyang Lada Mizhu, and Lu Ruolan, a five-surnamed seven-wang girl, why can't it be Cao Yuechan's turn?
People cast good, puzzled, and puzzled glances at them.
Rao is Cao Yuechan, as the shopkeeper of Jufenglong, has a lot of experience, and she is also stared at by people for a while.
She held Cui Geng's hand tightly, and said a little uncomfortably: "Erlang, am I too willful today?" ”
Cui Gengman said indifferently: "It's not capricious, it's good that you can come." Otherwise, it would not be appropriate to take them with them today. ”
That's true.
It is said that on this occasion, you should bring a wife, and if you don't have a wife, you should take a concubine. However, Cui Geng's wife has a wife.
With Li Bao'er, it is obvious that she relies on Li Xian's power to compete for favor, which is not conducive to the stability and unity of the family. Take Radamizhu or Lu Ruolan, I was afraid that Empress Wei would see her, thinking that Li Bao'er had been snubbed and was upset for her daughter.
Since Cao Yuechan took the initiative to bring her up, bring her here.
Of course, in order to congratulate Li Xian on his birthday, Li Bao'er must participate. Just now, in order to persuade Li Bao'er to go home, Cui Geng spent a lot of effort and found a very logical reason that not only met Li Bao'er's appetite, but also was very logical. It's just that there is no need to explain this matter to Cao Yuechan.
When Cao Yuechan heard this, she became happy again, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I don't want to fight with them for anything, but I really want to watch the cold Hu Opera at the Vermilion Bird Gate." ”
Cui Geng said with a smile: "This is a good place, condescending, and you can see the whole cold drama clearly." Speaking of which, we Qingyuan don't have this custom, I'll test you, what is the name of the cold and nonsense? ”
"Well, it's also called "Su Mu Sha" or "Hun Tu". "Su curtain cover" refers not only to the music played during the cold play, but also to the waterproof hats that people wear on their heads. "Hun Tuo" refers not only to the dance danced during the cold play, but also to the skin bag containing water. In the Splashing Chill Opera, people use the water in the "muddy" to water people. ”
"Yuechan is really smart, then let me ask you again, where did the Splashing Han Hu Opera originate?"
"The countries of the Western Regions."
……
The two chatted and looked down, waiting for the start of the show.
In fact, the original quite cold Hu opera was similar to the Songkran Festival in later generations, where people wore Su curtain covers, waist and hips were muddy, splashing water on each other, and playing endlessly. It is very entertaining and not enough to watch.
However, since the country of introduction, a lot has changed.
Initially, this play was popular in the palace, according to the "Book of Zhou", during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuyun "Yuzheng Wu Palace, set hundreds of officials and palace people, internal and external women, prostitutes and music, and indulged Hu people to beg for cold, and poured water for the play""
Note that it is not people throwing water on each other here, but watching the "Hu people" splash themselves.
What's the point here?
Don't worry, since it's splashing water, it's not very convenient to wear clothes, people are "naked ~ stomping, waving water and throwing mud, and playing with each other". The most important thing is that these Hu people are all beautiful women, how can they not make the viewer's blood gush and they can't help themselves?
Therefore, at this time, the "play" has begun to change from the play of games to the play of drama.
Up to now, because the emperor watched the play, Chang'an's cold Hu opera has gradually evolved into a fight for face in Chang'an.
One hundred and eight squares, each square has a "muddy team", the whole team rides a high-headed horse, or dressed gorgeously to be rich, or wears a variety of masks to win a new victory, and some only wear a leather pocket to cover their shame, showing a sturdy figure, and even some teams are completely composed of beautiful men...... And so on, and so on.
All in all, whoever attracts the attention of the people the most, and even gets splashed the most water, wins. If the emperor is happy to see it and gives a heavy reward, it will be even more arrogant.
……
……
At this time, on Suzaku Street, the people of Chang'an rubbed shoulders and huddled together, barely leaving a passage for the team to pass through.
Just after the hour, the first team of muddy detachment has slowly walked from afar.
This team came from the Longevity Workshop, and the whole team was made up of twelve or thirteen-year-old boys, and one of the horses in the middle was particularly tall, but sitting was a tall man, wearing a crown of animal heads, a purple-haired mask, dressed in a beard, and decorated with gold, silver, glass, and jade.
Obviously, this man represents the nobles of the Hu people.
"Yaho~~"
Suddenly, the man shouted, "I am the king of the Hu people, and I have seen the original world of flowers." I have all the soldiers and horses at this point, broken the border pass, and enjoyed it! ”
"King Hu suffers death!"
The boys shouted, some took out the mud from their waists and poured water at the "King Hu", and some got up and pulled his beard; Someone sneaked up from behind......
Of course, this is a performance, not a real fight, and it is rare that the children are in the process of advancing the horses, and the movements are clean and neat, not cluttered at all, and they suddenly ushered in bursts of cheers.
When they arrived at the Suzaku Gate, there was another surprise, and only the children in the audience sang in unison along with the song of "Su Musha": "Smart son, by nature." Don't combine Pan An and talent and appearance. Bow horses learn to be in battle. Like a tiger entering the hills. Courage in the face of difficulties. Good can sing, fight difficult orders, it is clever. Everywhere is clear, and the policy officer should decide after a long time. Horse pan gun. Assist the current emperor. ”
"Okay, what a "horse pan gun, assisting the current emperor"! Li Xian was very happy and said: "Look at the reward, each member of the Changshou Fang Hun team will enjoy a piece of brocade." ”
Li Longji took the opportunity to say: "What is performed by Fangcai Changshou Fang is an old repertoire of Pohan Hu Opera, called "Pohu King". Only this vulgar song is newly made, which is very rare, so it is better for His Majesty to make a poem and it. ”
Although the tune of Su Musha has not changed much, the content that matches it has been divided in the court and the people. It is a vulgar song in the folk, but it is still a seven-character quatrain in the imperial court. So Li Longji said to make a poem and do it.
Li Xian was very interested, looked around, and said with a smile: "I don't know which Aiqing is willing to make this poem?" ”
Ma Someone responded: "Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to give it a try." ”
People followed the prestige and found that it was the squire of the Ministry of Works, and Zhang Shuo, a bachelor of the Hongguan.
Li Xiandao: "There is Lao Zhang Aiqing, I don't know how long you will need?" ”
"Weichen now has: Mo Shuben went to the sea to Xihu, and the glazed eyes and purple beard. Hearing that the emperor's grace is all over the world, he will sing and dance to help entertain. ”
"Haha, Zhang Aiqing not only has a poetic talent, but also a brilliant talent, is there anything else?"
"The wax moon condenses the yin and accumulates the emperor's platform, and the heroic song beats the drum to send the cold. The oil bladder obtains the water of the Tianhe River, which will add longevity to the cup. ”
"Another one, perhaps?"
"The cold is the most pitiful, so the cold water is scattered in front of the court. May the Holy Monarch live an infinite life, take the new year and continue the old year! ”
In this way, Zhang Shuo made three poems in succession, not only harmonizing the poems, but also clarifying the meaning of congratulating Li Xian on his birthday.
Li Xian was very happy, rewarded Zhang Shuo with a brocade robe and fifty taels of gold, and ordered someone to sing these three Su curtain shades to make peace with those boys in Changshoufang.
Li Longji pretended to be careless and said: "Although Zhang Shilang is poetry is good, but on the occasion of His Majesty's longevity, the world's No. 1 poet has not made a move, and he is always not beautiful." ”
"The world's number one poet?" Li Xian turned his head to look at Cui Geng, smiled slightly, and said, "Erlang, this is talking about you!" Why don't you write a poem too? ”
