Chapter 511 The troupe and the theater

After seeing off Xun Yu and Ju Su, Han Zhan got up and went to the backyard.

The eighth aunt, who was guiding the women to rehearse, saw Han Zhan walking into the backyard and quickly asked everyone to stop singing and greet him on her body: "I will meet the Marquis of Anyang!"

"No gift!" Han Zhan waved his hand to the Ba Gu, indicating that the other party would not have to be so polite. Then he asked, "Ba Gu, I want to ask you, if you give you five days, how many dramas can you rehearse?"

After thinking about it, Bagu stretched out a finger and said, "When I come back to the Marquis, I think I can only rehearse a new drama at most. If there are more, I am afraid that the girls' level will be greatly reduced."

Han Zhan originally planned to use these five days to let the women in Lefang rehearse the two dramas "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Chasing the Fish", he also found a way to write two or three new dramas. With six or seven dramas as the foundation, after they entered the palace to sing the opera, they could also let Emperor Xian of Han listen to it for a few more days. If there were only two dramas, they would probably get tired of it if they couldn't listen to it for two days.

"No, there is too few one." Han Zhan felt that even if he could not rehearse five new plays in five days, at least the script that has been completed in the Cowherd and Weaver Girl and "Chasing Fish" should be rehearsed. He shook his head and said, "Eighth Aunt, I will give you five days to rehearse at least two new plays. If it can be completed, I will be rewarded."

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. Han Zhan said that there will be a heavy reward after the matter is completed, which made Bagu very moved. After she reconsidered in her mind, she finally nodded and said with a tough bullet: "Since the Marquis said that, even if I have fought for this life, I will have to rehearse two new dramas within five days."

"Also," just as the Bagu got up and was about to leave, Han Zhan called her again and said, "I think it seems that it is wrong to call her Lefang. You should change the name as a suitable one."

Actually, not to mention that Han Zhan thinks it is not good to use the name of Lefang, even Ba Gu thinks so in his heart. But since these women are basically from Lefang, he has no right to change his name at all. At this moment, when Han Zhan mentioned this, Ba Gu asked quickly: "I wonder what name the lord plans to change it to?"

"From today, I will no longer use the name of the music house, so I will be renamed the opera troupe." Han Zhan looked at Bagu and said, "In my opinion, I might as well call Bagu opera troupe."

"I dare not." Hearing Han Zhan say this, Bagu knelt on the ground with a thud and said repeatedly: "These girls are basically from the music shop. What kind of virtue is that I can do? I dare to use my name to name the opera troupe."

"I said yes, so of course." Seeing that Bagu looked so nervous and terrified, Han Zhan waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "This matter is decided. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, just tell me that this marquis will definitely make the decision for you."

When Bagu heard Han Zhan say this, she felt much more at ease. She quickly kowtowed to Han Zhan and thanked him: "I thanked my lord for your grace."

"Shuzhi," Han Zhan thought that the Huangmei Opera was not only to Emperor Xian of Han and the civil and military officials, but also to allow ordinary people to listen to it. If the people listen to the opera, they must have a ready-made venue. So he called Chen Dao over and told him, "I will give you five hundred tiger guards and ten days to build a theater in the open space near the provincial and ministerial palace."

"Theater?" Chen Dao was stunned when he heard Han Zhan say this, and then asked back: "I dare to ask the lord, what is this theater? It is the first time that I heard about it."

"The theater, as the name suggests, is a place to listen to operas." Han Zhan thought that in today's era, there must be no theater, so he pulled a piece of white paper, used a brush to draw sketches, and explained to Chen Dao how to build a theater: "The entire theater should be in a shape of a back-shaped character. The stage is placed in the north direction, and the other three sides are the locations for watching operas, which are divided into two layers: upper and lower..."

Han Zhan is an out-of-the-box outsider for architecture. Fortunately, he has seen the theater left over from ancient times with his own eyes. He only needs to draw out the architectural structure he remembers and explain it clearly so that Chen can understand how to repair it.

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Chen Dao said cautiously: "Lord, there will be a reluctance to ask."

"explain."

"I wonder if I can ask Ju Jianjun to assist in the construction." Chen Dao said to Han Zhan: "Now the palace in the city is Ju Jianjun personally supervised. If he had his help, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort."

Han Zhan did not object to Chen Dao's proposal. However, he thought about it again that he had just asked Ju Su to inquire about sweet potatoes, and the other party had just left, and he followed and ordered him to assist in supervising the construction of the theater. I'm afraid the other party would feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, he said to Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, you can dispatch personnel first. As for whether to let Ju Jianjun participate in this matter, this marquis must consider it again."

"I will obey the order!" Chen Dao said respectfully to Han Zhan: "I will arrange the manpower here."

"Ba Gu," after Chen Da left, Han Zhan said to Ba Gu: "If nothing happens, the girls in the opera troupe will be summoned to rehearse the new play. In a few days, they will enter the palace to sing opera for His Majesty."

"What, we will attack and perform for His Majesty in a few days?" When Bagu heard Han Zhan say this, he was frightened to his legs. If Rob hadn't come forward to support her in time, he would have fallen to the ground. Her lips trembled violently and asked Han Zhan nervously: "Master, are you really planning to let these girls enter the palace to perform for His Majesty?"

"Yes, the reason why I asked you to make two new dramas is to go to the palace to perform." Han Zhan said to his eighth aunt: "By the way, when you have time, ask someone to teach these girls the court etiquette. Don't lose face of the provincial and ministerial palace."

When she learned that she was about to bring these girls from the opera troupe to the palace to sing opera for the day, Bagu was overjoyed and quickly replied: "My lord is worried. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will definitely rehearse two new dramas within five days. As for the court etiquette, please don't worry. They are basically from the music shop and know very well about these etiquettes."

What should be explained has been explained. Han Zhan yawned and walked towards his room. Today, in order to see Chen Gong off, he got up a little too early, so he planned to go back and sleep. But after not taking two steps, he suddenly remembered that he had asked his civil and military officials to send the singer to learn Huangmei Opera, but he didn't know if they were here. So he stopped and asked, "Auntie, do you know that all the officials in Jizhou have sent the singer to the mansion to sing Huangmei Opera?"

"Some, some," Bagu nodded quickly and said, "Chen Shi, the two singers from Military Commander Guo's family, are here, and are now learning to sing operas with Xiang'er in the wing room."

Han Zhan listened and said that there was indeed someone singing in the nearby wing room. It should be Guo Jia's singer who was studying with Xiang'er. He nodded and said to Bagu, "Bagu, when the singers from other adults are also here, you can pick them out to see if there are any outstanding ones. Temporarily organize them into your opera troupe and follow them to the palace to perform their skills to Your Majesty."
