Become the city lord from today

"dong dong dong......"

At noon, the bells of Chang'an City rang, and the lunch break came, and there were many people on the streets looking for food.

At this moment, downstairs in the highest building, Liu Feng took Mina and others to the Grand Theater

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do?"Mina asked doubtfully.

Just after lunch, Liu Feng mysteriously grabbed a few girls and said they were going out to see some new things.

Liu Feng smiled mysteriously and said lightly,"You will know when we get there. This is my hometown. priceless treasure"

"What is the treasure?"Anli asked, blinking her brown eyes.

Liu Feng paused, forgetting that the words should be simpler, otherwise the girls would have to ask for hundreds of thousands of reasons, so he explained,"It means precious and beautiful treasures."

"I'm so looking forward to it. Enri said with a smile, and began to guess what kind of gem it would be.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and smiled. She had already known about this treasure in advance, and had helped to take care of it for several days.

"Tap tap tap......"

Ten minutes later, a few people walked to the entrance of the Grand Theater

"His Majesty."The soldiers at the door saluted respectfully.

Liu Feng nodded lightly and asked,"Is everything ready inside?"

"Your Majesty, we are almost ready."The soldier responded respectfully.

Liu Feng smiled with satisfaction and walked into the grand theater with the girls. Mira asked a group of soldiers to guard the door. Anli poked the cat-eared girl with her elbow and whispered softly,"Mina , don’t you know either? It feels mysterious. Mina shook her head like a rattle and lowered her voice and said,"I don't know. I have been busy with the Security Department these days. I thought you would know.""

"Recently, I have to keep an eye on the workshop to develop new products, so I don’t know. Enri also shook her head and said.

Mina blinked her blue eyes and said softly,"Let's see later. Seeing how happy His Majesty is, I guess this treasure is a very good thing.""

"Uh-huh."Anli nodded and began to look forward to it.

A few minutes later, Liu Feng walked across the long red carpet and sat down in the first row. Several girls also sat down next to them.

Anli looked at the closed curtain and wondered. ,"His Majesty? Are you watching a stage play? Mina

's blue eyes rolled and she asked curiously,"I remember there are no new stage plays recently?""

"We'll find out later. Liu Feng smiled mysteriously.

"dong dong dong......"

"Ding ding ding......"

The chimes, drums and other musical instruments on the side of the stage began to sound. The beginning of the music melody was very light.

"......"Enri and Mina stared at the curtain curiously, looking straight at it, wanting to know what the treasure was.

As the curtain opened and the candles were lit, two actors in costumes walked out. Their faces were decorated with Peking Opera facial makeup, and the accessories on their heads were also particularly gorgeous.

Enri was stunned and asked in shock,"Your Majesty, what happened to their faces?"

Mina's enemies also focused on their makeup and clothes, which they had never seen before.

"This is Peking Opera makeup, the quintessence of Chinese culture from my hometown."Liu Feng explained.

Anli and Mina were confused again, wondering,"What is the quintessence of the country?"

Liu Feng thought for a moment and explained simply,"The origins and inventions all come from my hometown and are the inherent culture of my hometown."

"Is it the same as the previous Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival?"Anli suddenly realized

"The deviation is not big, it is all inherent culture. Liu Feng chuckled.

Mina looked at the people on the stage performing and asked curiously,"Your Majesty, why do they have to wear Peking Opera makeup on their faces?""

Liu Feng knew that several girls would ask this question, so he had done his homework a long time ago and explained,"Opera is all stage play. When you enjoy opera, you are always ten or twenty meters away. The actors have to perform the show through facial expressions. So I have to wear very heavy makeup."

The main purpose of Peking Opera makeup is to highlight the contours of facial muscles and facial features, with a thick flesh-colored base. First, it is to cover the facial lines and color.

That is, if you only apply base color, you will not see the actors standing in the audience. His face is just like a big pie, without any sense of picture.

"So that’s it, this Peking Opera makeup looks really special. Enri's brown eyes twinkled.

Mina nodded heavily and praised,"I like their headdress, it's very beautiful.""

"nice! You love it." Liu Feng chuckled and said, this play has been rehearsed for a long time.

An Li looked at the two actors on the stage, both dressed in red and wearing heavy jewelry, and asked doubtfully,"Your Majesty, what is the name of this play? ah? Liu

Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and explained,"This opera is called Farewell My Concubine.""

"Farewell my concubine?"This is the first time Mina heard this word, and she was very unfamiliar.

"Farewell My Concubine tells a love story. When two empires were at war, one of them, Xiang Yu, was surrounded by enemy forces in a small area."

Liu Feng paused, collected his words and continued,"At night, Chu songs were heard from all sides. Xiang Yu knew that his situation was over, so he informed his beloved Yu Ji."

"And finally? And finally? Your Majesty, how is it?"Enri's eyes twinkled, she liked this story very much.

"In the end, Yu Ji put on beautiful clothes, danced with Xiang Yu with a sword, and then committed suicide.

Enri yelled and said regretfully,"Ah!" Suicide?

Mina listened with great concentration and said bitterly,"What a poignant love story.""

Nicole was very touched after hearing it again, even though she already knew the story.

"Yes, so someone arranged this poignant love story into a drama and showed it to others."Liu Feng nodded and said.

When he first heard the story of Farewell My Concubine on Earth, he was also very moved. Of course, what was explained to the beast-eared girls has been slightly modified to fit into this era. story.

Enri and Mina looked at the opera with different eyes. After learning about the background of the opera, they respected it even more.

"Your Majesty, what about their clothes?"Anli asked doubtfully.

Liu Feng rubbed the fox-eared girl's head and said,"I made them all based on the drawings for the workshop."

"Those makeup looks were all done by Nicole."Mina guessed

"They are all made according to His Majesty's instructions."Nicole smiled softly.

"So awesome, I think this could be used as a performance at a state banquet. Enri exclaimed, finding this to be more meaningful than a fairy tale stage play.

"I think so too. Liu Feng nodded with a smile.

Mina put her head in front of Nicole and said,"When will you teach me how to put on this Peking Opera makeup?""

The cat-eared girl still doesn't know how to put on makeup. She relies on Nicole's help every time. Even the fox-eared girl has learned how to do it.
