If you can't figure it out, it's not too much for the exchange mission to go to Nancheng to see the Yetai opera in their spare time.

After Jiang Jiu fed back long Yue's proposal to the top, the top immediately approved it. In addition to arranging shuttle bus and hotel accommodation, he also sent tickets for the wild stage opera.

Tickets are counted by twelve people, only a lot more.

After receiving the notice, she announced the schedule of Nancheng the next day at the end of the dinner and asked if anyone else would like to go to Nancheng with her. If so, she would arrange the itinerary uniformly. If not, she would stay in Jiangcheng Hotel and be entertained by a special person.

In addition to long Bing and Long Yue, who volunteered to go to Nancheng, Hai'an and ED also actively expressed their desire to go to Nancheng to enjoy the traditional Chinese opera culture. The four leaders of them all said that they would go, and the three Yin Yang masters immediately said that they were willing to go together.

Only five people of the same trade volunteered to have a rest in the hotel, but they didn't go.

So the next day's schedule was decided.

Hai'an has recovered from the blow of rejection, shuttling through the hall like an elegant butterfly, and finally flying to Jiang Jiu's side.

The previous refusal seemed to have no effect on him. He gave an elegant greeting to Jiang Jiu, and then asked affectionately, "Jiang, can I travel with you tomorrow?"

“……”

Jiang Jiu was staring with goose bumps in his eyes. He quietly rubbed his arm and said politely, "tomorrow we are going to Nancheng together, and Mr. Long Yue has invited me to be their guide first."

"Those two annoying dragon people still need guides?" Haian sniffed and said in a big voice, "I've never heard of them like opera."

He turned his head and looked at long Bing with a smile. With a slightly raised eyebrow, he asked, "I heard that you are here to find something? Why did you go to the theatre again? Is the thing you are looking for in Nancheng? "

All four of them were shocked when a word came out.

Jiang Jiu's eyes, including those of the demon Management Bureau, are all focused on long Bing.

He said with a smile, "Mr. long Bing, if you want to find something, you can tell us. We have a lot of people, so we can help you find it."

Hai'an, with a schadenfreude posture, added fuel to the flames: "yes, Chinese friends are very enthusiastic. You can speak up what you want."

"It's not something important." Long Bing's face twitched, and his eyes became more and more sinister: "when he visited China, he once fell in love with a woman singing opera in the countryside. It's just that I'll never see you again. Now I can only vaguely remember that the woman's hometown is in Nancheng, so I want to have a look. "

"Originally, I want to see my old lover..." Haian said with a slightly melancholy expression that I understood your expression, "but we are not ordinary people after all. Sometimes in the blink of an eye, those young men and women have grown old."

"Human life is too short." With a long sigh, he touched his lips with his index finger and said, "I don't know if the woman you like is a white bone or an old woman with white hair and chicken skin..."

That's what he said, but there was a bad smile in his green eyes.

Long Bing looked at him with gloomy eyes: "it's no trouble."

"Of course I don't worry." Hai'an shrugged innocently: "I'm just afraid that you'll cry and kindly remind you."

Then he turned to Jiang GUI and said, "Jiang, I don't think longbing needs you tomorrow. Why don't you come to be my guide?" He blinked and whispered, "I know a lot of their little secrets..."

Jiang Jiu's eyes flashed and pondered for a moment, then he answered with a smile: "it's my pleasure."

Whether Hai'an is an enemy or a friend, just seeing that he can directly expose the purpose of long Bing and others shows that he and long Bing are not dealing with each other.

Both Hai'an and long Bing are from the United States. They must have a lot to do with each other. They must know more than them.

There is a good saying: the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

"See you tomorrow. I'll go back and have a beauty sleep first. " Haian waved to him, turned gracefully and went to the elevator.

Seeing this, the two men led by him also followed.

But long Bing and others wait for him to enter the elevator before they turn around and leave one after another. Obviously, he deliberately avoided Hai'an and didn't want to conflict with him any more.

……

After the dinner was over, all the members of the demon Management Bureau went back to the Bureau, held a temporary meeting, arranged their work schedule for tomorrow, and then went home to have a rest.

Because of the sudden trip of long Bing and others, Jiang Shu can't go to Nancheng with Xue Meng tomorrow. After returning home, he packed up the daily necessities of the three cubs, called Zhang Tianxing again, and drove Jiang chi to Zhang Tianxing's house with him.

In fact, Jiang Shu wants to take care of his younger brothers, but it's impossible to have four brothers. I'll have to trouble cool.

He stuffed Zhang Tianxing with the ticket given by director Cheng.

Tomorrow's trip to Nancheng is to work, so I'm sure I can't take my family with me. But during the day, Jiang has already said that he will take them to Nancheng to watch the wild opera. He doesn't want to break his promise, so he just let Kuge take the kids by the way.

At that time, I'll inquire about the hotel. Maybe I can visit the hotel during the rest.

***

The next day, after lunch, the demon authority's motorcade went to the south city.

From Jiangcheng to Nancheng, it takes about two hours to take the expressway. When they arrived at Nancheng Hotel, it was already in the afternoon.

The Grand Opera Festival opened in the morning, and most of the hotel guests came and went.

The front desk of the hotel also kindly provided the route map and brochures to the venue.

Jiang Shu took a brochure and learned that the official name of the event was "Nancheng folk opera art exhibition". The venue is wenlingtai.

It is said that wenlingtai was originally a sacrificial altar built in the middle reaches of Linghe river.

Linghe river is a tributary of the Yangtze River, and its trunk runs through the whole Nancheng. Tributaries are all over the south city. In ancient times, when people depended on heaven to enjoy food, Linghe river was the foundation for the survival of the people in the city.

The peace of Linghe is the peace of the people.

Therefore, in order to pray for good weather, people in Nancheng gradually had the custom of offering sacrifices to the God of Linghe river. Wenlingtai is the altar built by people in Nancheng to offer sacrifices to the God of Linghe River and pray for good weather.

Every year, when the river god is sacrificed, the degree of liveliness is no less than that of the Spring Festival. At that time, the transportation was inconvenient, and only the waterway was the fastest. People from all over the country swayed their boats, dragged their families and brought chicken, duck, cattle, sheep and other sacrifices to wenlingtai, waiting to participate in the river god Festival.

On the day of the ceremony, the river near Lingtai was full of boats. At the beginning of the ceremony, everyone watched on the boat. After the ceremony, the people could put the handicrafts and food they had brought home on the bow of the boat for trading or barter.

When the sun goes down, the lights will be hung up on these boats. For the sake of excitement and attraction, there will also be boatman singing in the bow of the boat... This spontaneous behavior, because there are more participants, gradually there are many unwritten rules. It has become a classic part that must be performed every year. It is called "wild stage play" or "playing wild stage".

With the popularity of traditional Chinese opera culture, the outdoor stage becomes more and more lively every year after the festival. Even many actors who want to earn fame will come to the stage by boat on the day of the festival.

However, people like this usually don't show up directly. Most of them will put on a mask to cover their face. If they cheer loudly, they will take off the mask half way after they finish. Since then, they have become famous; If no one cares, hide in the cabin and leave, waiting for the next year.

Of course, it's all about the old days in the brochure.

Today is a modern society, and we do not advocate advocating feudal superstition. Therefore, the government only mentioned the background of offering sacrifices to the river god in propaganda, and then put the emphasis on "Da Ye Tai".

Today's Yetai opera is naturally different from that of those years. In order to stir up the atmosphere, the organizers specially invited many famous folk opera masters to come and hold the stage, and set up high bonuses to encourage folk experts to play, forming a benign competition situation.

It's just that since the name of "Da Ye Tai" was offered, it naturally has to have the flavor of the past.

So the time and place of this exhibition is set on the Linghe river at night.

All the boats were contacted in advance by the organizer. In addition to the boats at Yetai, there were several large sightseeing cruise ships parked near the wharf, which were decorated with antique style. After buying tickets, tourists can board the boat and enjoy the Grand View of Daye terrace on the river.

It was only in the evening when they arrived at wenlingtai.

The afterglow of the setting sun came down and the river was sparkling. A few awning boats of different sizes are not far away from the river bank. From a distance, you can see a figure shaking at the bow of the boat. Occasionally, there are one or two high or low babbling sounds, which should be the voice of the people on board.

They first went to the restaurant near Lingtai to have some special river delicacies. After dark, they went to the riverside.

Jiang Jiu follows behind him and sends a message to Jiang Chi, telling him that he has arrived at wenlingtai. If he has time in the evening, he will go to them again.

At this time, Hai'an pushed other people aside, rubbed against Jiang GUI and asked, "do you want to go with me?"

Jiang Shu had to put away his mobile phone and look at the cruise ship beside the dock. He asked, "didn't we pack a cruise ship?"

"What's fun about cruises."

Hai An shakes his finger and points to longbing and other humanitarians in front of him: "they say they want to take that kind of awning boat. I think it's good, too."

He looked forward and said, "I've seen it in TV series. A pot of wine, a boat, three or two confidants, boating on the lake, tasting wine and enjoying scenery... Isn't it a great thing in life?"

The corner of Jiang's mouth smoked, and he didn't know where he looked at these things. Can not help but remind: "night boarding, and then drinking, prone to accidents, unsafe."

Hai An stared at him in disbelief and whispered for a long time, "it's not that my charm has declined."

It is clear that Jiang is short of a string.

It's not interesting at all.

I can't move.

Jiang Gu looks innocent. Seeing that long Bing and others over there have already begun to choose ships, he can't help but step forward and ask, "do you really want to let them disperse? In the event of an accident, it may not be easy to respond. "

Of course, he didn't understand this. He whispered: "I don't want the children to be able to cover the wolf. They are honest, but they won't take the next step. Only when they are dispersed can they have a chance... "

Since we already know that they are going to come to Nancheng to look for something, we have to create opportunities for them in order to lead the snake out of the hole.

Hai An: dead straight man!

Greedy:? I'm very crooked.

Long long: Yes, I can testify.
