I could feel that my complexion at that time was no longer human. Fortunately, Fatty Sun was there. Taking him back to his hometown seemed to be the wisest decision.
Fatty Sun's acting talent was brought to its fullest. He clapped his hands and jumped back and forth with joy. This made my grandfather and the others laugh so hard: "**...Haha...I'm laughing so hard, old man, you know how to joke." Fatty Sun pretended to calm down the urge to laugh, pursed his lips and said to my grandfather: "Old man, let me tell you the truth. This Shoudao looks scary, but in fact it doesn't cost much. It's been a few months. Recently, an unowned stolen item was seized from a batch of smuggled items. We have internal rules. If no one claims items like this within a period of time, we will hold a small internal auction to dispose of these items internally. "
As he spoke, Fatty Sun pointed at the golden longevity peach placed on the table: "This longevity peach looks quite big, but in fact it is hollow inside and not heavy. Besides, knowing that Director Shen wanted to buy it as a birthday gift, no one followed him. If we fight, the price will naturally be cheaper. Such a golden longevity peach only costs ten thousand yuan."
"Oh..." There was movement among the people in the room again, and they were all chattering together. It was just that being a high official would be a good thing, and you could see such advantages. One of the distant cousins even told me that He pulled him aside and said, "My eldest nephew, look at that. If this cheap thing happens again, can you also take a photo of one or two for my cousin? Don't worry, my cousin won't lose you. Just tell me the number and come back." Ask your elder brother to bring it to you."
When he said this, everyone in the room with the surname Shen rushed to surround me, all wanting to help take pictures of a few gold items. For a moment, I was forced to panic, and I kept explaining that such things were rare. I was lucky enough to catch up once.
"Shut up," my grandfather shouted, and the room fell silent. "Are you here to celebrate your birthday or to take advantage? If you want to stay here, just stay here. If you want to take advantage, get out!" Grandpa is not the leader of the clan! It’s all in vain, these words were yelled and cursed, but no one dared to reply, they all looked at the ground in shame.
When grandpa wanted to curse a few more words, someone in the yard shouted: "Old Uncle Shen, County Magistrate Gan's car has arrived at the head of the village. The village chief asked us to go and greet it!" Our county magistrate's surname is Gan, and his given name is Gan. Gan Daye. He used to be the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces in the county. When I joined the army, he went through the formalities for me. After not seeing each other for a few years, Minister Gan became the County Magistrate of Gan.
When grandpa heard this, he summoned all the people, old and young, inside and outside the house, and went to the village to meet the county magistrate. I also wanted to follow the crowd and go out for some fresh air, but was stopped by Fatty Sun: "Don't be confused, I am the director of the department. He is two levels older, and the rule is that you stay here with me and wait for him to see me."
Just like that, Fatty Sun and I were sitting on the edge of the kang, drinking tea, eating melon seeds and chatting happily, when a noisy sound came from the yard, the curtain at the door was raised, and grandpa and third uncle, who were in their fifties, County Magistrate Gan, who was slightly bald, came in.
County Magistrate Gan did not expect that there were already two people sitting on the kang. He was stunned when he saw Fatty Sun and me. After so many years, he seemed to have no impression of me. But after looking at the police titles on my and Fatty Sun’s shoulders, Gan County Magistrate Gan The county magistrate's expression became even more surprised.
Before he could speak, Fatty Sun said first: "This is County Magistrate Gan. Just sit down when you come. Don't be restrained."
The secretary of County Magistrate Gan was clever. He asked in advance in the yard who else was coming to pay birthdays. At this time, he whispered a few words into the ear of his boss. Magistrate Gan laughed and walked to the edge of the kang in a few steps.
: "It's Director Sun and Director Shen, I don't know. I didn't know that the two leaders were coming, and the county was not prepared at all. It was really too slow to treat the two leaders." He said, taking the initiative to step forward and extend his hand.
I followed Fatty Sun's example and shook hands with County Magistrate Gan very reservedly: "You're welcome, Magistrate Gan. Sun... the director will accompany me back to my hometown, which is just to kowtow to the old birthday star. It's nothing to do.
It's official business. If you say that, you are out of touch."
Fatty Sun also said a few polite words. He was chatting about one another. County Magistrate Gan's secretary came over and said with a smile: "Three leaders, the boat show is about to begin, and the birthday girl has almost arrived. We are
Isn’t it time to go to the river?”,
In my memory, I heard my grandpa talk about it several times when I was a child. That happened more than 200 years ago, and it should be the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, our place was regarded as the dragon of the Eight Banners of the Manchu people outside the customs.
The place of prosperity. And our entire Qinghe County is the imperial palace of Prince Yishen, the eighth son of Emperor Qianlong.
The Prince's Imperial Land means that all the products produced in Qinghe County do not need to pay taxes to the court, but only need to pay tribute to the master. From now on, everyone in Qinghe County can be regarded as the slaves of Prince Yi (our surname is Shen does not count, we came to Guandong in the late Qing Dynasty)
At that time, the entire tribe moved here from Shandong.)
Although he became a slave, he was still a servant of the prince. What's more, even the important officials of the court at that time had to call themselves slaves when they met the emperor and the royal elder brother. The whole court atmosphere was like this, and there was nothing shameful about it.
Having said that, Prince Yishen is quite benevolent compared to his brothers. The tribute he pays is only 30% of the usual harvest, and every time he goes to the palace to express his filial piety during the New Year, the reward given by the prince may be larger than that of his brothers.
There is still a lot of filial piety left.
At that time, the four major Anhui troupes came to Beijing and created the next national quintessence - Peking Opera. And Prince Yishen was a crazy Peking Opera enthusiast at that time. There were several opera troupes in the palace, and as long as he had that
When a famous actor came to sing in an opera, this prince was right on target, and he always made faces and sang a few lines in the sea to enjoy himself. For this reason, Emperor Qianlong pointed at his nose and scolded him countless times. Prince Yishen was always honest and honest.
Queen of Heaven, she has returned to her old ways and is still like this.
Later, Emperor Qianlong came and sent Prince Yi to his imperial estate for a year, saying that he wanted Yongxuan to study with a pure heart.
A few days after Prince Yishen arrived at Huangzhuang, an old man in Zhuangzi celebrated his 100th birthday. When the prince went to join in the fun, he suddenly had an idea and issued a royal decree. In order to imitate the achievements of Emperor Qianlong's Baisou Banquet,
He wanted to perform a hundred-day show for the centenarian man in the imperial palace, singing according to the old man's age, and he would sing for a hundred days.
After the prince spoke, there were no shortage of people to join in the fun. Officials from the government offices around Huangzhuang also offered suggestions. Finally, a Niu Lu (banner official, not a cattle breeder) from Huangzhuang came up with an idea. The solar terms at that time
The weather has already set in and the weather is getting hotter. If we sing a big opera for a hundred days in a row, let alone the opera performers, the opera listeners may not be able to bear it. It is better to change the location of the stage. Build a stage on the Daqing River next to Huangzhuang.
Boat, wait for the sun to set every day, sing boat opera with lights in the palm of your hand.
When the prince heard this, he became emotional and spent a lot of money. He ordered the craftsmen to work all night to build the opera boat, and at the same time sent people to Beijing and Tianjin to invite famous Peking opera actors. A month later, after all the famous actors had arrived, the opera
The boat is also built.
On the opening day of the play, there was an uproar for hundreds of miles around, and tens of thousands of people came. Fortunately, the stage was on the river, so even if there were many people, there would be plenty of people. The theatergoers came and left in waves.
Famous actors from all over the world also appeared on stage and sang continuously for a hundred days, and the prince was addicted to drama for a hundred days. Soon after, the prince was ordered to return to Beijing.
Before leaving, the prince made another decree. If there is another old man in the imperial palace who lives a hundred years, he will use the hundred-day opera as a model and sing the boat opera for another hundred days to show Emperor Qianlong's virtue and love for the people.
My heart. It is a pity that although the king's decree was issued, the Hundred Days Drama of that year has become a thing of the past. After that daytime rejoicing, no one in the imperial village lived to be one hundred years old (nearly a hundred people were ninety-nine years old, that is)
No one buys the hurdle of being a hundred years old).
When my third great-grandfather turned 100, someone once mentioned that we should put on a hundred-day show, but in the end, because we didn’t have enough money, we just invited the county’s Errenzhuan troupe to sing Errenzhuo for one night.
Today is the 110th birthday of Third Grandpa. I had no idea of that, but it happened that there was a tourism project to develop the Daqing River in the county. We, Gan Daye Gan County Magistrate, made the decision to do a free trip for my Third Grandpa.
However, if it were to be performed for a hundred days, the county's finances would not be able to afford it, so they took a trick and changed it from singing for one day to one hundred days for a hundred-year-old.
, in fact, it only lasted ten days. Unfortunately, no one expected that this boat and river drama would be a tragedy from beginning to end.
