    Originally, we had agreed to go to Jixiangyuan to see Mr. Mei, but Zhang Hanqing changed his route to Guangde Building halfway because there was Mr. Liu here.  This Mr. Liu is not comparable to Mr. Mei, not because of his inferior skills, but because of his nature.

    Men¡¯s nature.

    When Zhang Hanqing came to this world, he had not yet met the legendary beauties of the Republic of China, so it was a bit unsightly.  While chatting on the road, I suddenly remembered: No matter how attractive Mei Lanfang is when he disguises himself as a woman, he is still a man at heart. What does it mean for a grown man to look at a grown man?  Besides, I don¡¯t have much interest in Beijing scripts.  This is purely a personal preference and has nothing to do with patriotism.  Men, what they like most is probably beautiful women.

    No, when Zhang Hanqing asked half-heartedly: "Uncle Shi, is this Mr. Mei pretending to be a woman as lifelike as everyone says?"

    Cai E replied: "Of course, Mr. Mei has profound skills, is good at both civil and military affairs, has a graceful stage style, and has an excellent appearance."

    Zhang Hanqing chuckled and said, "Xue Liang is talking about Mr. Mei's female appearance."

    Cai E felt it was a bit clearer: "Of course, Mr. Mei has a mellow voice and a melodious and charming singing voice. He is a famous Qingyi Dandan in public reviews."

    Zhang Hanqing felt the need to speak more openly: "Xue Liang is asking, is there any woman in Beijing who is more beautiful than Mr. Mei?"

    Cai E knew that this boy was illiterate about Peking opera, so he guessed: "You mean the female actress, right?"

    Zhang Hanqing really doesn¡¯t know what an actress is, but from a literal explanation, it seems like she is an actress or something, right?  He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

    Cai E said disapprovingly: "There are a few female actresses, but the one who sings Tsing Yi is Mei Lanfang. Peking opera is about singing skills and movements, not watching women on stage, that is a civilized drama."

    In ancient times, the status of women was low. Although actors were not popular, no one looked up to female actors. Therefore, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, women acting in dramas were still the work of men, called Dan. Women who played the role of ladies or high-status women were called Zhengdan.  In the early years of the Republic of China, folk customs became more popular. In some developed places, women who loved opera came on stage to sing in operas. However, most of them were new fashion operas, which have developed to the rhythm of fashion shows now.  Even so, public opinion is not optimistic.  This new fashion drama was called "civilized drama" at the time.

    Zhang Hanqing was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Isn't the civilized drama good to watch? Do you know how popular models of clothes, shoes, hats and the like are in later generations? Do you know that many things in later generations that cannot be done with beauties must be done by beauties?  Only by mixing it together can you attract attention, right? Do you know about car models? Do you know how popular video chat is?" He wanted to lie down in the general's ear and shout: "I'm asking if there are any beautiful women here?!"

    Although Cai E is an outstanding figure of his generation, he cannot escape the fetters of the world.  Only Zhang Hanqing, who was born in the new society, grew up under the red flag, and grew up in the midst of reforms, has an extremely clear interest in new things.  He still refused to give up: "Xue Liang heard several times in Fengtian that there were 'three outstanding female actors' in Beijing and Tianjin, and he was very attracted to them. Since I can only listen to plays, when watching women's plays, Xueliang feels that it is better for women to act.  .¡±

    Cai E looked at him with some scrutiny, which made him explain with a guilty conscience: "It's purely for the joy of seeing the hunter and to open his horizons."

    General Cai smiled knowingly.  Is this child's mental development a bit early?  Sometimes he is as wise as a mountain, and sometimes as calm as water. Of course, he will show a bit of naughty from time to time. Is this the passion that this age group should have?  There is nothing to blame for a young man's longing for love and a young girl's love for her child.  Moreover, in this era there are many marriages that start at the age of 15, and Zhang Hanqing's family conditions also allow him to live and drink.  As long as they don't rape women, a man's love for a woman can be described as romantic.

    The key is that he usually visits the Bada Hutong, but the rest in his bones has kept him dry, which also aroused the suspicion of the spies who were following him.  Now we have Zhang Hanqing as a shield, which just gives people an excuse.  So General Cai recommended a good place based on his recent travel experience in Beijing: "Then let's go to Guangde Tower instead."

    Guangde Building is crowded with people at this time.  To borrow a line: "Mr. Liu Xikui, the world's number one actress, is singing here. Isn't that enough for you?" People rushed to be proud to see Liu Xikui's appearance.  It's not that her acting is better than Mei, Cheng, Shang, and Xun, the four recognized Peking Opera masters, but she is a beauty.

    When Peking Opera developed into the early Republic of China, there were disputes between schools, famous actors and actresses appeared everywhere, and the world was in chaos. However, this was the glorious time of this opera.  But as time went by, most people seemed to be tired of watching and listening to the killing scenes of Peking Opera, and instead flocked to the melodious sounds of local operas. Therefore, the opera industry quickly absorbed the singing styles and plots of many local operas, and also began to introduce Kun Ling.  The "Chongya Women's Class" was established in Beijing.

    Liu Xikui has always been beautiful and well-dressed. He was already very famous before, and now he has become thisStudents in ?? academic classes.  Liu Xikui, who originally had considerable attainments, was slightly refined and packaged by the Chongya Women's Class, and was first offered a performance in the "Zhonghe Garden".  Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit, almost overwhelming Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu, and even approaching Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng.  The general audience's eyes lit up when they saw Liu Xikui on the stage, who was so graceful and charming, and then they were mesmerized, intoxicated by her every smile, every move of her hands, and it didn't take long for her to become "  Even Tan Xinpei, the king of the acting world, said: "The man is Mei Lanfang, the woman is Liu Xikui, I will give up!"

    Liu Xikui has a petite figure, picturesque features, a particularly elegant and elegant temperament, and is particularly beautiful when dressed up. All the beauties who play with her are carefully selected beauties. When she is not on the stage, the stage is full of warblers and swallows.  All of them are as beautiful as heavenly beings, which is dizzying to the eyes. When Liu Xikui appears on the stage.  With a gentle cry and a mellow singing voice, all the Kun Ding actors she played with looked like vulgar fans in comparison.  The people who were fascinated by her ranged from high-ranking officials to gentry and celebrities to traffickers and common people. She really caused a sensation in the nine cities and turned all living beings upside down.

    The most admirable thing is her backbone.

    When she first came to Beijing, Yuan Shikai invited her to sing in the hall, but she was rejected every time. Yuan Shikai wanted her to play cards with guests, but she also refused.  She sneered at the second young master Yuan who pestered her in every possible way; the third young master Yuan threatened: "I won't get married, I'm waiting for Liu Xikui, and I won't get married until Liu Xikui gets married." She ignored him.  In such a complicated environment, she maintained her self-respect and purity.  She disclosed her principles of doing things: she will not pay visits to any big officials, she will not record records, she will not be photographed in costumes or casual clothes, and she will not do commercial advertisements.  Her maverick, self-respecting and self-reliant personality is respected by people in the troupe industry, and she is also loved by senior troupe artists.

    Even Zhang Hanqing was fascinated by Liu Xikui when he first met him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
