Chapter 422 Peerless Kabuki (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)
The atmosphere in the VIP room was tense. Caesar, Chu Zihang, and the old man with the "Fate of the Wind" tied on his forehead were facing each other coldly. They seemed to be ready to fight if they disagreed. The temperature in the air seemed to They all dropped a few points invisibly.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" Lu Mingfei stood between Caesar, Chu Zihang and the old man.
We can't let these terrible guys start their hands here without any reason... Even if they don't show their true intentions, the entire Kabukiza will be demolished by them!
"What's the situation now?" Lu Mingfei looked at his boss and senior brother on the left, and on the right at the old man next to Eryi. He asked with some confusion, "Is it possible that you two know each other?"
"Didn't Chu Zihang tell you that I'm allergic to ramen recently? It's because of him that Chu Zihang and I had a very bad and unforgettable experience." Caesar whispered to Lu Mingfei, his eyes fixed on him. The old man next to Eri said, "We were very hungry after leaving Genji Heavy Industries, so we were looking for something to eat along the street. A female owner of an izakaya recommended Master Koshi's ramen stall to us, saying that the master was very nice. The craftsmanship is good, so we followed the path pointed by the izakaya owner and found this old chef’s ramen stall.”
"Is it because the master's ramen doesn't suit your taste, boss?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously thought that the conflict was caused by Caesar's picky taste, "But the ramen doesn't suit your taste, boss, and you can't accuse him of dementia in front of the old man. And endocrine disorders!”
"This time it's not Caesar's problem." Chu Zihang said, "The situation at that time was that as soon as we arrived at the ramen stall, the master kept chasing us away. Later, after seeing our appearance clearly, the master kept asking me where we were. It's not a 'childish girl'. After I denied it, he asked me if I was a 'Kazema Ruri'. After getting negative answers twice, his temper became extremely irritable."
"The original intention of Caesar and me was just to eat a bowl of ramen, but the old man's mental state seemed to be having some problems. In the end, he even picked up the fence and rolling pin at hand and wanted to do it. Caesar and I didn't want to accidentally hurt the old man, so we immediately So we decided to retreat." Chu Zihang explained to Lu Mingfei.
"Fart! It's just a fart! You two brats with no hair at all want to accidentally hurt me? I'll teach you a lesson with one hand and I'll make you two boys walk around without food!" The old man looked very worried. He was so angry that his beard stood on end, "I decided to close my own ramen stall and refused to accept customers. What's the problem? If it weren't for the fact that the black-haired boy had a childish temperament, I would have mistaken him for a childish one. Girl, do you think I would have the patience to say a few more words to you? I wish I didn’t kick you out of the ramen stall on the spot! How dare you call me Alzheimer’s? How dare you call me endocrine disorders? After living for so many years, apart from Ang That old bastard, no one dares to humiliate me like this!"
"Old bastard Angers?" Caesar was stunned. He tentatively asked Uesugoshi, "Do you know Principal Angers?"
"Principal Angers?" Uesugoshi was also stunned. He suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Lu Mingfei, "Both of them are also students of that old bastard Angers?"
"Yes, the one with blond hair is Caesar Gattuso, the president of the Cassel College Student Union, and the leader of our action team this time. The one with black hair is Chu Zihang, the president of the Lion Heart Club." Lu Mingfei finally When he had the chance to speak, he pointed at Caesar and Chu Zihang and said quickly, "They are the most proud students of Principal Angers."
Enemies were extremely jealous when they met. The quarrel between the few people just now was too fierce. The invisible aura seemed to form a hard barrier in the air. Lu Mingfei tried to interrupt several times but was unable to. Now he finally has Opportunities to introduce each other.
"Damn it, he is really a student of old bastard Ange." Hearing Angers name, Uesugoshi's momentum dropped a bit for no reason, and then he snorted sternly, "Indeed, only that old bastard Angers can To teach such a little bastard, I don’t know how much of Ange’s dragon-slaying skills he has learned, but he has inherited all the bastard’s words. In this regard, the three brothers are all modeled after the old bastard Angers.”
"The master is Uesugoshi?" Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei, "Is Yuan Zhisheng's biological father?"
"Yes, the old guy has received some good news recently and has been a little stimulated. He probably does have Alzheimer's disease and endocrine disorders. He has a bad temper. He also chased me when I first went to the ramen stall." Lu. Ming Fei nodded, leaned into Chu Zihang's ear and whispered, "Senior brother, please be more patient. If the boss and Master Yue get into a fight later, you have to help persuade him. Don't look at him, he just looks like a ramen chef. , The old guy is actually very powerful. After all, he is the biological father of the Elephant Turtle. Even if the principal comes, you may not be able to defeat him. If you and the boss start a fight with him, you will only get beaten!"
"You bastard! I heard everything!" Yue Uesugi turned and roared at Lu Mingfei, "I'm old, but I'm not old enough that my ears can't work anymore! You want to suffer with the brat who slanders the elderly behind his back? Beat it up?"
"Master Yue's ears are really useful. I'm not afraid that it would be inappropriate for us juniors to start a fight with you, so I'm trying to persuade my senior brother." Lu Mingfei smiled at Uesugi Yue on the surface, but he was complaining in his heart. Whether it's Eri Yi or Uesugi Koshi, the hearing of these super hybrids is really abnormal!
"Senior brother, how did you figure out that Master Yue is Yuan Zhisheng's father?" Lu Mingfei winked at Chu Zihang wildly, indicating that the old man was angry and quickly changed the subject.
"When you were at Genji Heavy Industries, you asked me to tell Genji three things. One of them was to ask him to find a ramen master named Uesugi Yue. It should be Master Yue." Chu Zihang looked at Uesugi Yue. , "Master Yue said that Yuan Zhisheng is his son, and Yuan Zhisheng is Yuan Zhisheng's younger brother, so it is not difficult to guess that Master Yue is probably Yuan Zhisheng's biological father."
"Yes, Master Yue, it is my senior brother who personally told Yuan Zhisheng the truth that you are Yuan Zhisheng's father." Lu Mingfei pointed at Chu Zihang and said to Uesugi Yue, "My boss and senior brother He also helped Yuan Zhisheng save the Genji Heavy Industries and the Sheqi Hachi family. After all, we are all our own people... Oh my, why do our own people need to fight? Isn't this a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple!"
Uesugi looked at Caesar, then at Chu Zihang, and finally looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, and asked doubtfully: "Have they helped Zhisheng?"
"More than that, we are all close friends with Yuan Zhisheng, and we are also friends with Yuan Zhisheng. Otherwise, why would he personally send invitations to several of us and invite us to watch his performance?" Lu Mingfei rushed to Uesugi. Yue Meng nodded with a sincere tone, "And my boss and senior brother gave me all the money they earned from working and asked me to take Eli Yi to buy clothes. The little dress Eli Yi is wearing now is sponsored by boss and senior brother. Yes, they have always been good young people who are warm and helpful to others! The conflict with you, Master Yue, is just a small misunderstanding. As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make knots. For such a small matter, just let it go."
"Are these two boys really so kind?" Uesugoshi still didn't completely trust Caesar and the two, but his anger seemed to have dropped by more than half.
"Hey, Master Yue, don't look at the two of them now. In fact, my boss's family often does charity, and the boss himself is also an extremely gentle gentleman towards women." Lu Mingfei struck while the iron was hot, "And my senior brother is raped every year. It is common in every semester for students to be judged as "three good students", such as helping an old lady cross the road and delaying class. His classmates at the school praised him as a good young man with good moral character, good moral character, physical and mental development, and beauty."
In a way, what Lu Mingfei told was the truth... At least when Fingel's news department was short of funds and needed to build a good relationship with the student union and the Lionheart Club, they reported on Caesar and Chu like this. Zihang's.
The lights suddenly went out, and darkness enveloped the entire Kabukiza venue. Only the front stage retained dim light, and the purple curtain was tightly closed.
"Let's leave any further arguments until after the performance." Lu Mingfei whispered, "Master Kazama's performance is about to begin."
Uesugoshi immediately became quiet. He didn't want to miss his son's important performance just because he was angry with a bunch of brats.
Several people were sitting next to each other on the long leather sofa. Caesar and Chu Zihang sat at one end of the sofa, while Uesugoshi and Eriko were at the other end. Lu Mingfei was in the middle of the five... Originally, Uesugoshi She wanted to force herself between Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi to prevent this kid from taking advantage of the darkness to touch her daughter, but Eri Yi had no choice but to sit close to Lu Mingfei to feel at ease, so Uesugoshi had no choice but to give up. The old man warned Lu Mingfei with his eyes before reluctantly sitting on the other side of Eli Yi.
"Have you ever seen a kabuki performance before?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice, "I did a search before coming here. Broadly speaking, kabuki is a type of drama performance, and it is just a unique art form in Japan. But I I wonder what’s the difference between this kind of performance and an opera?”
"I saw a performance when I was in New York. It was a reception performance by the Japanese Consulate. I was still young at that time and thought it was boring." Caesar said frankly, "If I really want to say there is any difference between it and opera, I guess opera can do it." We choose actors with outstanding looks and beautiful voices, but the characters in Kabuki are as pale as dead people and sing like they are mourning.”
"Before coming here, I searched for a few representative videos of kabuki performances, but I found that I couldn't quite understand them." Chu Zihang nodded, "It seems I'm not the only one who can't understand them."
"There is a Chinese and English translation screen right above the stage, and the actors' lyrics will be translated on it in real time." Lu Mingfei pointed to the large screen above the stage, "That was specially prepared for us by Fengjian Liuli. If you really can't understand, When it comes to acting, just read the words on the screen.”
"I'm talking about you little brats!" Uesugi Yue on the other end of the sofa spoke, his tone sounding quite dissatisfied, "What do you brats think of Kabuki?"
"Kabuki has been developed since the Momoyama period. It is one of the four major classical dramas in Japan." As an old man, Uesugi went through the history of Kabuki, "Noh drama, Kyogen, Ningyo Joruri and Kabuki, Kabuki, Kabuki, etc. Kabuki was once the most popular drama in Japan, and it also became a representative of Japan's traditional performing arts. It is so white that it looks like a dead person... In Kabuki performances, the whiter the male character's facial makeup is, the more representative he is of the role. The more noble the person's status, don't slander them if you don't understand. The art of Kabuki has always been Japan's national quintessence, just like the tea ceremony and kendo."
"It's amazing." Eriki wrote in a small book and showed it to Uesugi. This old man who treated her to ramen knew a lot.
"Of course, Master Koshi's life for so many years was not in vain." Uesugi Koshi was praised by Eri, and he wanted to raise his tail to the sky. "That is to say, young people nowadays don't understand it very well. After all, Kabuki is an art. The threshold of the form is too high, and it is difficult for most young Japanese people to appreciate it, but it is really rare for a child to become a famous artist in the kabuki industry at such a young age!"
It can be seen that Uesugoshi is very pleased that his children can persist in traditional art and achieve today's achievements.
Ups and downs of sound echoed in all directions of the venue. In the darkness, someone played the shamisen. The sound was rapid and melodious, like a woman in ancient clothes talking vaguely in her sleep by the distant river.
The sound of the piano gradually reached a climax, then suddenly fell. When the sound of the strings suddenly stopped, the purple curtain slowly opened, a bed covered with white cloth was pushed to the center of the stage, and a woman in a plain robe was lying on her back. In the center of the carriage, he was in a state of carelessness and drunkenness.
"When I was at Namba Palace, I held a grand festival and drank so much that I fell drunk." (Excerpted from the original text of "Kojiki")
The woman sang and chanted. She slowly stood up from the bed, her long black hair pouring down like a waterfall. Her face was as pale as paper, but she had a coquettish and bright red lip color.
When she stood up, the light above her head penetrated her plain white robe, reflecting her graceful and charming figure like a dark ghost. Her singing sounded like a clear spring falling from the sky to the world, or rising from the land of underworld. The faint sound makes people feel uneasy.
"What the hell, was Kazama Ruri then?" Caesar looked at the female figure on the stage, and he was completely stunned.
He has always felt that Ruri Kazama is a more girly guy than Minamoto. In Japan, a country like a concentration camp for sissies, in terms of level of sissy, Ruri Kazama must be among the best... But Caesar can't use sissy at all now. This word is used to describe Kazama Ruri on the stage. Even though Kazama Ruri is as charming as a real woman at this moment, she is also a coquettish and peerless dancer, a real stunner!
She is so young, so beautiful, so... confusing all living beings.
However, it was not just Caesar who was shocked. Seeing Ruri Kazama appearing as a woman, the entire Kabuki Theater burst into exclamations and envy.
After a brief restlessness, everything fell silent again, and everyone stared at the lone figure on the stage with bated breath. This is the highest respect for art. Everyone present was impressed by Master Kazama's sexiness that transcended gender and reality.
