Wow—Xiao Zhao's mouth slowly opened and his eyes widened, and he showed a look of surprise at the big basin and the precious flower and fruit foods offered inside.

Xu Qilin was very funny at her younger sister and joked: "This big basin is really good. When I get rich, I will get one and leave it at home for you to lie in it and play with it."

Xiao Zhao looked at his brother and knew he was joking. He rolled his eyes and gave the brother a little fist, saying, "I don't want a basin, but the gems on it look pretty good."

"Then buy it." Xu Qilin said generously: "Go to Xishi to find Hu merchants, they specialize in making fun of the things."

Xiao Zhao laughed twice and said, "Tomorrow, I will take A Ke and add some jewelry to her. Although I am a civilian, it is not too shabby to go to Jiucheng Palace, right?"

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I happened to get a piece of money. If the family's money is not enough, you can go to the house outside the city to collect it."

"I asked Scarlett, the family's money is still abundant!" Xiao Zhao glanced at the old man and said, "Don't worry if you ask her to manage the flowers in the mansion?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "What's wrong with me? When you learn mathematics well and make a plan, I will also leave all the inputs of the shops and workshops to you!"

Xiao Zhao laughed and said, "When I come back from Jiucheng Palace, you can leave it to me. I have learned all the mathematics and abacus."

"My sister is just smart." Xu Qilin reached out and touched the girl's head with a doting hand. Maybe she used a little force, which made Xiao Zhao angry and hit her little fist again.

Xu Qilin laughed and didn't resist. Seeing that the royal basin delivery team was far away from their sight, he spoke, "Let's go, let's go into the temple and take a look."

"What else do you want to see?" Xiao Zhao seemed a little confused, and she forgot that she and Scarlett had discussed it to come to Daxing Shan Temple.

Xu Qilin was even more confused and asked, "Aren't you going to come to Daxingshan Temple? Could it be that - is it just a look at the royal basin?"

"Yes, I just came to see the big basin." Xiao Zhao said naturally: "I have seen it, why are you doing in the temple?"

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes, feeling a little amused. The little girls really can't guess what they think!

It's OK, I saw it on the road, so I don't have to squeeze in the temple. Anyway, Xu Qilin is the one who leads the little sister and the maids to come out to play today.

As for walking incense, worshiping Buddha, visiting the buildings and flowers in the temple, fighting with monks, or talking to poems or making appointments with the ladies wandering around, he was not very interested.

After the crowd dispersed a little, Xu Qilin and others turned to Ximing Temple in Yankangfang.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the temple, I heard the sound of musical instruments inside. The solemn temple, which is usually solemn and solemn, is really down-to-earth today. The songs are sung and the dances are exciting.

That's right, this is the focus of what Xiao Zhao and others want to appreciate. The wealthy people think that only by bringing "music music" to the gods, Buddhas and ancestors, can they be pious enough.

Xiao Zhao was so anxious that he jumped straight away, and he was about to run in after getting off the car. Xu Qilin led his people to follow him and came to the temple hall. Wu Song and his servants forced a place to squeeze out a place, showing the benefits of evil servants and slaves.

Playing music, dancing, and being a beautiful woman, this Buddha is really lucky.

Xu Qilin sat down on the stool, looked at the cheerful entertainment in front of him, and thought to himself: This is such a sing and dancing, and the cheers are constantly coming. What about the theme of worshiping the dead, worshiping ghosts, solving problems, and forgiveing ​​sins on this festival? No one cares about it, right?

If you have free singing and dancing, no one cares about the theme, just have a happy festival.

Those who can perform live singing and dancing shows are either rich or noble, just like offering a pot, and entertainment programs are also among the comparisons. The geese in this house have a better voice, the dance of that house is wonderful, the clothes are a bit exposed, the cheers are louder, and the owner is more respectful.

Listening and watching, Xu Qilin also found it very interesting and admired the Tang Dynasty's way of entertainment and thoughts of every festival.

Whether it is Qingming Festival or Ullambana Festival, isn’t it telling my ancestors that I am living a good life, rich and happy life, so my ancestors don’t have to worry, don’t worry about it!

Well, this is also a way to comfort our ancestors. It is better to always cry to our ancestors and seek blessings and help!

"A hundred plays, hundreds of plays!" Xiao Zhao clapped his hands and cried happily, pulling Xu Qilin's thoughts back.

A hundred operas are acrobatics, there are no high-tech in the air, the cannons hit living people, the high-tech of stacking tables and chairs, the likes of playing puppets, stomping the waist, stomping the ball, swallowing the knife, spitting fire, dry boats, rope walking, rod wearing, sumo wrestling, etc. Live performances are all kinds, and the open space outside the hall is almost full, which is very lively.

Most of these performances are also found in their own tiles, but here, the people are noisy and cheering, but there is an infection and inspiration of the atmosphere.

Xiao Zhao clapped her hands and made a giggle. Then, she stared at an actor who was walking around, her mouth slightly opened, as if she was worried that he would fall and she was worried.

It was probably the first time Scarlett saw such a grand scene. He wanted to grow a few more pairs of eyes, looking at this and that, dazzled, staring at the performer who was swallowing his sword and spitting fire, and exclaiming. Ajiani stood there, although she was fresh and exciting, but she had not forgotten her duty. From time to time, she reached out and took out snacks from her baby bag and stuffed them into her mouth, eating sweetly, and smiling happily on her face.

Xu Qilin suddenly found that there were a few familiar people among the onlookers diagonally opposite. It was the eldest brother and two servants who were accompanying Chen Mengwei, Chen Jingxuan and Chen Mengzhi, and they were also full of surprises.

What's going on? Xu Qilin was a little confused and didn't know how they got together.

Of course, my relationship with the Chen family is very close now. In addition to recruiting Chen Jingxuan into the Dayingku Mathematics Museum and causing the Chen family to owe personal favors, Chen Laocai also asked his brothers from the same clan to help him manage the shop at Xu Qilin's request.

Xu Qilin is quite busy, Xiao Zhao and Scarlett can't hold on, and Butler Xu is not good at business, so Chen Laocai has helped Xu Qilin a lot.

Chen Jingxuan is also a studious man and often asks Xu Qilin for mathematics after class. Sometimes when he arrives at Xu's mansion, Xu Qilin is not here, so Xu Qipin also receives it and talks about literature, which is quite a coincidence.

Today, the Chen brothers and sisters were going to Xu's house to find Xiao Zhao and Scarlett to come out for entertainment together. But unexpectedly, Xu Qilin and others went out early and missed it.

Xu Qipeng received the visitor. He heard that the Chen siblings were not very familiar with Chang'an, so he brought two servants as guides to lead the Chen siblings to Ximing Temple for a trip.

The crowds were crowded and bustling. Xu Qilin was puzzled when he saw his acquaintance, but he didn't shout and say hello, nor did he squeeze over to meet him, pretending that he didn't see him first.

"Are Dalang and the Chen family's wife over there?" Scarlett also saw it, approached Xu Qilin's ear with uncertainty, and asked in a low voice.

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "So many people, don't rush to greet you first, it's a problem to squeeze in."

Scarlett responded "yes" and began to pay attention to the performance of the hundreds of operas. When her own Alang spoke, she didn't have to worry about that.

After performing hundreds of operas, I don’t know which rich singer sings team appeared again, and continued to sing and dance.

It was not until there was no singing and dancing troupe that the noise and cheers subsided. People began to walk towards the hall one after another. It was said that a great monk was about to speak "Men's Talk".

The monks talk about it, sing the title of the sutra, sing the scriptures, sing the metaphors of fate, etc., and the Zhongyuan Festival, naturally sing the "Buddha's Sutra of the Ullambana".

But the scriptures spoken by the monk are all scattered in classical Chinese. The bald monk sang in a long tone and shook his head and sang, which was not very attractive.

And tomorrow there will be a "common saying". Taking advantage of the joy of Menglan Basin Festival, monks and believers will have to be lively for another two days, and the temple also thinks of making more money by opening up the common saying.

Since it is called "common talk", it is not a scripture and mantra like a heavenly book, but a simple and easy-to-understand scripture story with twists and turns. It is also true that it has a wide audience and is most popular and loved by the people.

You should know that people's spiritual and cultural life was very poor at that time, so there was no need to think about any TV, movies, computers. Even books were expensive, and most people could not recognize a few words. Monks used the same storytelling to persuade good and donate. Not only were they popular, but they were also generous.

"The monk said it was boring. Let's go to Qinglong Temple to watch a big show!" Xiao Zhao obviously had no interest in chanting sutras, so he turned to ask for advice.

Scarlett and Ajiani nodded repeatedly, and they were also thinking the same.

Xu Qilin stood up and looked for the elder brother and the Chen brothers, but there was no sign of him.

Forget it, they play theirs, let's play ours!

Xu Qilin gave up the idea of ​​going to the show together, went out of the temple with everyone, and rushed to Qinglong Temple.

At that time, there were no special entertainment venues such as teahouses and theaters. The theater was built in a temple, which was usually called "a certain temple theater".

This "theater" is a big platform. In addition to serving the monks in the temple to perform rituals, monks and lay people, they often perform various cultural and artistic activities such as music, hundreds of operas, puppets, etc., and almost all performances in nearby areas are held here.

The "play" of the Tang Dynasty was completely different from later generations. It was either a "joining the army" performed by a pair, a puppet show, or an acrobatic performance.

The so-called military drama is a bit like a two-man turn, and more like a counterpart crosstalk. An actor wears a slutty head and green clothes, which is called "Join the Army"; the other one is combing "Cangxiao", which is similar to the crosstalk funny and supporting actor. The dialogue method of military drama is also very similar to the crosstalk of later generations, mainly funny.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the military drama developed into multiple performances, and the plot of the drama was relatively complicated. In addition to male characters, there were also female characters, which took the prototype of later dramas.

Xiao Zhao and others, who were full of expectations and wanted to watch the big show, were very disappointed when they came to Qinglong Temple. The show here had already ended, and people were still unwilling to finish their wishes. They carried Buddha statues and various offerings and went out of the temple to march on the streets.

This kind of parade is also very grand, with music, music, and flowers following the parade. There are many onlookers everywhere, which is very sensational.

He came with excitement and left with disappointment. Xiao Zhao muttered, most unwilling and annoyed.

"Isn't it just watching the show? Let's go to our house's trunk house." Xu Qilin smiled and comforted her younger sister, "I gave them a few short stories, but I don't know how the rehearsed?"

"Is it also a military show?" Xiao Zhao asked curiously.

"It's better than joining the military show." Xu Qilin said confidently: "There are only seven or eight actors. Do you think it's amazing?"

Xiao Zhao blinked, feeling that there was no connection between being a lot of people and being good-looking. However, so many people acted, it would be very lively at least!

Similar to Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, or foreign opera, dramas with storylines played by multiple characters were not available in the early Tang Dynasty.

What Xu Qilin gave was a short story, mainly to let the actors adapt and get some exercise and experience.

Mr. Dongguo and Wolf, He Bo marry a wife, father and son carry donkeys, etc. are short and concise, simple props and can also give people inspirational stories or fables. If performed on the stage, there will be more people, which is also an innovation and transcendence of drama.

For ordinary people, it is rare to see a literary and artistic performance that is easy to understand and mixed with singing and dancing. Even if the performance is not perfect, even if it is crude and simple, it can easily be popular among the public.

With confidence in the drama performance of the "Xu Family Ban", Xu Qilin took everyone out of the temple and prepared to take a bus to go.

As soon as we left the temple, everyone heard noisy and chaotic sounds. A large group of people were surrounded not far away, not knowing what had happened.

Xu Qilin is not a good-looking person, not to mention that he seems to be arguing and arguing. He has little sisters, Scarlett and others around him, so he doesn't want to get involved.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he just rushed to his body and couldn't hide.

Accompanied by scolding and shouting, "Whoosh", the black square objects flew into the air, and the chess pieces formed a covering blow with the technique of raining flowers in the sky.

The crowd of onlookers scattered out in a coaxing way, and the people who were still standing on tiptoe and looking inside were caught off guard. Several of them were squeezed and rolled to the ground, and were stepped on several times, crying out pain.

Wu Song and others hurriedly protected everyone, and even Xu Qilin was a twelve-year-old boy, which made the adult squeeze and stumbling.

But when he heard the shouts inside, he started to take action. The crowd hugged even more, for fear of hurting himself. In this sparseness, Xu Qilin saw a familiar figure through the cracks of the people and also heard a familiar voice.

Then, a familiar figure was kicked out; then, another-

I'll go! Xu Qilin stared at the young Taoist priest in the field. His kung fu is not bad, and he knocked down Yuchi Huan and Liu Hongye.

"Brother Lin--" Yuchi Huan rolled on the ground for a few times before standing up. When he saw Xu Qilin, he immediately looked overjoyed and shouted: "Brother Lin, come and help, this out-of-towner is so awesome."

Xu Qilin thought it would be impossible to care about it. He usually called his brothers and brothers, so he had to help him with boxing and he couldn't be timid.

But I can't just go up and beat him. I didn't understand the situation, so Xu Qilin wasn't too reckless.
