Chapter 10 Mountain Rain Is coming 2
Coming down from the dance room on the third floor, Du Ruomin walked all the way to Lin Manyin's residence.
From time to time, he looks up at the sky, which is an endless light blue. The sky in the south of the Yangtze River is always like this. The faint wind, the faint fragrance of flowers, even the sky is the same. The faint blue, can't see the wind and rain behind it clearly. He can't wait for the ravages of sunny days. The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River is so dimly shrouded in a corner.
Speaking of here, it was originally a private garden of a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. It experienced more than a century of ups and downs. Fortunately, it was well preserved. Twelve years ago, Lin Manyin was ordered to rebuild this place and recruit talents from all directions. At the age of 11, Du Ruomin was favored by Lin Manyin at a glance. From then on, he went to dance without hesitation. Road. In two years, the reconstruction of the Yuecheng Song and Dance Troupe has been completed. Du Ruomin and Bai Shu'an, as the pillars of the song and dance troupe, can already perform on the stage together, and the first batch of actors selected into the group are also very lucky to have their own courtyards.
He didn't go far and looked back at the white marble pendulum on the roof of the six-story comprehensive building integrating teaching and performing arts. At this time, it was already 7 o'clock. He recalled that morning ten years ago, he was dressed in a plain shirt and wore a military green retro canvas bag around his neck. Together with Shu'an, he walked into this new house with cheers.
Step over the open iron door, as soon as you raise your eyes, you will see this tall building made of yellow bricks, towering in front of you, and the regular scripts of "Yuecheng Song and Dance Troupe" clearly stand on the wall. There was also a pendulum at the top of the building. At that time, it was also 7 o'clock. The hour hand went directly above, and the pendulum made a melodious music. The sound echoed in the air layer by layer, ringing the sleeping things, and began to calculate another brand-new life journey for him.
At this time, he has walked to a dense woods behind a tall building. It was early summer, when the azalea was about to end, and the gardenia flowers handed over a faint fragrance, and the colorful blossoms were spread in the shade, which showed the quietness and secluded environment here. A sheep intestine path splits several squares of land between the branches and leaves, and there is a stone table. There are several stone stools around the stone table. This wonderful place is a good place for early students to practice and rest.
Through this forest, you can see a thin river winding in front of you. On the other side of the river, there are courtyards with white walls, black tiles and four-cornered eaves. Now it is the residence of some leaders and qualified actors in the regiment. The low wall and the lacquered wooden door are cast into one barrier after another. The winding path is quiet and you can't see the inside clearly. The scenery.
On the river, there are four stone bridges leading to the courtyards. Du Ruomin walked to the end along the west side of the river. After crossing the Qinfang Bridge, he saw a large yard, which was a world of its own. The door sign of the yard said "Yi Anju". This was the residence of Lin Manyin, the head of the regiment. When he heard the singing in it, he unconsciously stopped.
"It turned out that Ziyan was red all over the world, and today it has given a broken wall..." Today, she sang "Peony Pavilion". Her voice was a little hoarse, and in a short time, she became choked.
Du Ruomin gently pushed the door and saw that under the brandy tree, Man Yin's familiar figure was a little lonely. She was wearing a dark green silk skirt, and her long waist-length hair fell down. Together with the tree, it was like a painting, but there were less red and warm colors... Her bright eyes were wet with tears, which made the original The thin cheeks looked a little sad and beautiful. This turned out to be the tenderness of a 40-year-old woman. Ruomin was slightly stunned. Knowing that today's Aunt Man was different from the past, she stood silently under the wisteria shelf next to the stone path and did not bother.
After Lin Manyin finished singing a song, she slowly turned back. When she saw Du Ruomin, she pointed to the white orchid tree beside her and said with a faint smile, "You see, before the day of June has arrived, the white orchid is already budding. When I got up early in the morning and saw these flowers and bones, I felt really beautiful, so I was excited. I sang from "Liang Zhu" to "Peony Pavilion" to it. I still felt that I didn't sing enough. I didn't even notice that you came in.
As she spoke, she walked into the room. Du Ruomin followed slowly. Her mind lingered the sadness she had just saw. She didn't know whether it was her own illusion or infected by Aunt Man's vivid singing. Thinking nonsense, she had already sat on the mahogany chair in the living room and saw Aunt Man Zhengwei. He handed over a cup of brewed green tea with a smile. This time, when he saw only a smile in Aunt Man's eyes, he felt that he had thought too much just now.
Du Ruomin made up his mind and began to report some specifics about going to the south to serve as a judge of the dance competition.
In the 12 years since the establishment of the Yuecheng Song and Dance Troupe, it has been famous in China for its unique style and gorgeous song and dance art, especially Du Ruomin, the golden signboard in their dance team. She was born in Zhilan Yushu. She is modest and polite, and her dancing posture is ingenious. Whether it is folk dance, Latin or jazz, she can grasp it just right, so Many literary and artistic parties will invite him to perform. In order to improve his popularity, Du Ruomin will also serve as a judge in various local dance competitions in the name of the song and dance troupe. This time, I went to the south as a guest of the dance competition at the invitation of the local government, which took two months from the preliminary round to the final.
"... This time I went to the south, although the scale of their competition is not very large, there are also a lot of good seedlings. There are a few outstanding performances. I have also talked to them alone, hoping that they can join our team..." Du Ruomin looked at Lin Manyin calmly and spoke slowly. .
"Shuan'an lost the opportunity to go with you this time because of Yunwei's celebration performance. At first, she was uncomfortable with me for several days. Have you seen her?" After listening to Du Ruomin's report, Man Yin did not comment. She only nodded slightly, but turned the topic to Bai Shu'an.
Du Ruomin replied quietly, "I've seen you. I went to the dance room before I came just now. Shu'an hasn't been to the south, so she wants to follow her, but since Aunt Yun asked Shu'an to play the role by name, of course we can't refuse.
"She blamed me for tying her around. It is said that she is about to become a canary in a cage. Take this injury as an example. After she shed so much blood, she had to stand on the stage, and finally fainted. Oh, I really don't know how she will live if I don't look at her.
When Ruo Min heard the last two sentences, her eyebrows gradually locked up. She brushed the bloody appearance on her arm and sighed: "Although Shu'an's temper is stubborn, she is a little self-centered. But the attitude of performing on the stage is entirely because she has listened to your teachings since she was a child and takes dance as the sky. I think even if the blood vessel bursts the next second, she will stick to it to the end. However, after this time, I hope she will restrain herself. If a girl has to leave a few more such scars, she will definitely not be able to stand it.
Man Yin looked up at him deeply and thought, "I don't know whether my strict teachings are wrong or right." The two sat in silence for a while, and then Man Yin continued to say, "I'm going to Yuncheng tomorrow."
"Yuncheng?"
"Yes." Man Yin's voice was a little trance, as if she couldn't even believe that this sentence came from her mouth.
Only Lin Manyin's round, delicate but slightly hoarse voice floated in the room. "I know that you are all curious about my past, and you also vaguely know that Yuncheng is inextricably linked to me, because over the years, it has been a forbidden place for our group. Indeed, I have lived there for many years and enjoyed the flowers and applause of the audience. There, there are my mentors, close friends, relatives, and..." There is a faint sigh, "You may have heard of the name Wang Zhiyi. The dean of Yuncheng Chunhua Theater, he... is half of my teacher. Yesterday, I accidentally received a phone call from him. At present, his theater has encountered unprecedented trouble. He asked me to help him in Yuncheng, so I decided to leave tomorrow..."
Du Ruomin straightened his back, sat quietly on the mahogany chair, and listened respectfully to Lin Manyin's statement.
"You and I are very clear about Shu'an's temper. Although I have told her that I'm going to Yuncheng tomorrow, I haven't explained why. Yuncheng is a place of sadness for me. For her... Alas, I know too much about this matter, which is not good for her. I'm not in Yuecheng these days. Please help me take care of Shu'an. Don't let her cause anything. After Lin Manyin finished speaking, she took a deep breath, looked at the window sill, and slowly got up and walked over. Her move meant that she had finished talking about the topic and was unwilling to explain more.
Du Ruomin nodded slightly, stood up silently, and said sincerely, "Aunt Man, don't worry, I will take good care of Shu'an."
On the window sill, a pot of four-season begonias was in full bloom, and the pink and white stamens were shining in the morning light, and a bright and dark smile climbed onto her face. Lin Manyin turned around and talked to Du Ruomin, which was nothing more than a detailed explanation of the important performances in the next group. After that, she looked at him with pity and said, "Looking that you look so bad, you must not have not slept enough. Go back and have a good sleep. There will be a performance at the Paradise Theater tomorrow night, which arranges your dance drama "Red Mansion" with Shu'an. Dream Shadow."
Du Ruomin didn't leave until she was sure that she had no other instructions. I couldn't walk far, and I heard a song coming from the yard: "The beautiful scenery of the good days, but the sky, who is the house to enjoy..."
