In Yangzhou City, there is a mansion with the word "Zhangfu" on it.

The owner of this house is Zhang Xikong, a native of She County, Anhui Province.

In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Zhang Xikong was admitted to the Jinshi, and after three years of Shandong study, because he witnessed the death of the villagers, he resigned in the name of his mother's death and went home to keep filial piety.

Zhang Xikong lived in seclusion in Yangzhou and devoted himself to running his family business, but in more than ten years, he became a well-known man.

Five years ago, I heard that the old master, Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty, was strangled to death by Wu Sangui with a bowstring, and Zhang Xikong couldn't afford to get sick and gave up before long.

The family business fell on the shoulders of the eldest son Zhang Chao.

Although Zhang Chao was born in everyone, he is extraordinary, good at reading, broad-based on history, weak crown to make up for all students, and is famous for literature.

He participated in several scientific examinations, but for some reason he didn't win, so he spent money to buy an official position in Hanlin, which was regarded as his talisman, and then he had no intention of officialdom.

This man does not like to associate with the gentry, the rich, and the wise man, and only the worldly laymen who enjoy the mountains can drink with him.

It was already dark, and Zhang Chao had just drunk with an old Taoist, and the Taoist priest was drunk, so he returned to his study.

The scholar Red Sleeves knows the habits of his eldest young master, and whenever he hears from others the experiences of people who have never met talents, he always has to record it.

Over the years, the eldest young master has collected a thick book, and there are already dozens of vivid character stories.

The scholar who can accompany Zhang Chao is naturally a well-educated person.

The scholar Red Sleeves also understands that his young master's "Yu Chu Xinzhi" is different from Yu Chuzhi on the market.

(Yu Chu is the nickname of the novel.) ）

Most of the Yu Chuzhi on the market are either fake characters, or stories of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the content is fake and empty, which makes people boring to read.

This book of his own young master, each of which is a modern character, and everyone is a vivid true story.

What is commendable is that his young master, regardless of the risks, also recorded the tragic experiences of the remnants one by one......

"Red sleeves, grinding ink, Master Ben, I heard the story of a ventriloquist again, and let me write it down first!"

Zhang Chao was dizzy from drinking, but he still remembered his new ambition at the beginning of Yu.

Red Sleeves had to pour water into the ink inkstone, and then pinched the ink ingot with three fingers and grinded it carefully.

After a while, the ink was polished, Red Sleeves picked up the brush, sucked the ink with the tip of the pen, scraped the tip of the pen on the inkstone, and then handed the brush to Zhang Chao with both hands:

"Young Master, your pen."

Zhang Chao took the brush, opened the thick blank book, picked up the pen and wrote on it.

His words, each one is the size of a fly's head, although the font is small, every stroke and every drawing is clearly visible, the font is handsome and extraordinary, and even the words written under drunkenness, with a slight scribble, there is a kind of suppressed wild beauty:

"There are ventriloquists in Beijing. The banquet of the guests, in the northeast corner of the hall, the eight-foot barrier, the ventriloquist sits in the barrier, a table, a chair, a fan, a ruler only......

……

Hearing the barking of dogs in the deep alleys, a woman was shocked to feel that she was not stretched out, and shook her husband's words to be obscene......

The husband whispered, at first he didn't respond much, and the woman shook it more than once, then the two gradually mixed words, and the bed was abruptly ......

Then wake up and cry loudly. The husband ordered the woman to caress the child's milk, and the child cried with the milk, and the woman patted and whined.

……

Suddenly, one shouted: 'Fire! ’…… So the guests left the table without changing color, and they stretched out their arms, and the two trembled, almost wanting to go first.

…… One person, one table, one chair, one fan, one ruler is the same. ”

(The reason why it is posted is because the ventriloquist of the people's education version has been deleted and modified.) Zhang Chao's original version I fell in love with it when I first heard it, and the ancients' driving skills were ashamed. I could only stretch my neck, look sideways, smile, and sigh, thinking it was wonderful. …… ）

Zhang Chao borrowed the strength of the wine to write the last word in one breath, and with a "snap" sound, he slapped the brush on the pen stand, and then tilted his head and lay on the table and fell asleep.

Before Red Sleeves could clean up the mess, he heard that his young master had already snored.

"Hum-throat-huh, hum-throat-huh......"

Red Sleeves shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was used to the scene of his own young master.

Red Sleeves reached out to pick up Zhang Chao, put him on the bed, folded the quilt for him, and then walked to the desk, picked up Yu Chu Xinzhi, which Zhang Chao had written half, and sighed.

The court is brutal!

The year before last, the Ming history case was widely implicated, and nearly 100 people lost their lives, and thousands of people were exiled to Ningguta...... In this Yu Chu Xinzhi written by the eldest young master of his own family, there are too many facts!

Even, even the matter of Jiangyin is included in the book......

I'm afraid that sooner or later, it will become a disaster!

……

Zhang Chao wrote the famous "Ventriloquist", and thousands of miles away in Pujiazhuang, Zichuan, Shandong, Pu Songling was chatting with his wife Liu.

Pu Songling is twenty-eight years old, he was selected as a talent at the age of 19, and he is a well-known talent in the county.

Pu Songling didn't know that this would be a portrayal of his life, he started to take the examination at the age of 20 until the last reference at the age of 63, and his name was Sun Shan.

The biggest reason for this is because he wrote the story of foxes, monsters, ghosts and gods, and was named perverse, so that for more than 40 years, he failed to pass the examination repeatedly, and even was deposed several times......

The Liu family is also a local lady, although compared to the official family, the Pu family and the Liu family are not on the stage, but these two families are not comparable to ordinary people.

Because of the war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Pu family's business declined, and it has been very difficult to support the Pu Songling brothers to study over the years.

"Husband, I have wronged you."

Liu peeled an apple and handed it to Pu Songling.

His husband is talented, and Liu clearly knows this.

She has already read the first draft of Liao Zhaizhi's strange words written by Pu Songling, and the writing is simply not said.

"It's the lady, you follow me, but you are suffering."

Pu Songling smiled and reached out to smooth out the frizzy emanation in Liu's ears.

Liu likes her husband's intimacy very much, and the two of them have been married for ten years, and they have never quarreled or blushed.

Liu listened attentively, and saw that there was no sound around, so he whispered:

"Xianggong, the work of teaching will involve a lot of your efforts, which is not good for your studies, and the family is in urgent need of money, but it cannot be used for you to continue to study hard......"

Pu Songling smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I taught those dolls, and I can be regarded as reviewing it for myself, besides, my father and mother are already old, and my children are young, so I can't count on you as a weak woman at home!" ”

"No, I didn't mean that!"

Liu raised his white fingers and made a silent gesture on the side of his mouth.
