Chapter 184: An Alternative in the Literary World

At dusk, the heat and dryness of the weather gradually dissipate, and a breeze blows into the courtyard, and the branches and leaves sway gently.

The sunset is slanting, the afterglow is like fog, and the eyes can see a smoky red, which is extremely beautiful.

Su Chen wrote a manuscript in the room for an hour, and he had already finished writing the last two folds of the drama script of "The Legend of the West Chamber", and the final song of the play was scattered, which can be regarded as a real finished product.

Xu Qingwan sat quietly next to her, and the talented woman rarely stayed silent for an hour, her eyes constantly shifting back and forth on Su Chen's cheek expression and the plot text written on the paper, both moved by the conflict and resolution of the drama, and moved by Su Chen's dedicated and serious creative spirit.

As the saying goes: men are most attractive when they are serious. Because Su Chen studied medicine, he formed a habit of being extremely focused on everything he did. Even if there is a great beauty sitting next to him, with red sleeves and fragrance, soft as jade, approaching him at close range and watching him at his side, Su Chen can still maintain a determined heart and complete the work in hand without being disturbed by 'beauty'.

This not only proves Su Chen's concentration in doing things, but also indirectly explains why Su Chen has always been a single dog in his previous life, and the emotional reflex arc with women is a bit long.

"It's so touching, I believe that after this ending is deduced by Liu Huadan, it will definitely cause a sensation and heated discussion, the West Chamber can be an instant hit, and Su Gongzi's words are a great achievement!"

"Where you are interested, do it." Su Chen smiled faintly.

Xu Qingwan said with emotion: "Su Gongzi may just do it casually, but the opera script of this legendary story has created a new form of literary expression. From the previous interpretation of texts, readers watched and passed to the general public, so that more people could absorb them into the interpretation of literary works through watching dramas, which is a pioneering and innovative approach, and it is also an improvement on the literary form. Su Gongzi, do you know, you will have a huge change in the current literary world! ”

"I can't afford to be praised like this, maybe in the eyes of many great Confucians and Gongsheng in the world, I write this, I am not doing my job properly, and I will be despised!" Su Chen smiled bitterly, before he was admitted to graduate school, he was familiar with the history of ancient literature, popular literature and elegant literature had fought for thousands of years, and he was still very clear.

In China, poetry, words, literature, and fu are Chinese elegant literature, and for a long time, "language" and "literature" are separated. Wen is an article, an ancient text, a poem, a word and the like. Yu refers to quotations, commentaries, and dramas.

The concept of elegant literature rejects the use of spoken language as a text, and quotations are not regarded as texts, until the ancient writers of the Tongcheng School in the Qing Dynasty also proposed that quotations should not be included in ancient texts.

As for popular literature, such as Tang legends, Song and Yuan scripts, long and short stories of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and rap literature. It has been developing in civil society and is a popular language close to the people. However, these authors and works were not accepted by the orthodoxy of the literary world, and Cao Xueqin, Shi Nai'an, Luo Guanzhong, and Pu Songling were not regarded as real literati by the great Confucians and scholars at that time.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the great social changes in modern society at the end of the Qing Dynasty belonged to the period of the old bourgeois democratic revolution, and the revolutionaries needed to carry out ideological and cultural enlightenment to the broad masses of the people, and they would inevitably break the pattern of the four peoples of the feudal era and break through the monopoly of the scholar class.

Therefore, in 1902, in the 28th year of Guangxu, Mr. Liang Qichao published "On the Relationship with the Rule of the Masses" in the inaugural issue of "Xin", and the article called out that "if you want to create a new country, you must first create a new country", which not only included the legend in the orthodox position of the literary world, but put it in the highest position, and suppressed the prose, poetry and other literary styles, and the writer was absorbed.

Since then, literary works such as "Red Mansion", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms" have been elevated to literary status little by little, and finally became the four great masterpieces of China.

Therefore, Su Chen's mind is very sober, even if "The Legend of the West Chamber" is very successful this time, and it can be printed in the future to gain fame and fortune, but in the eyes of the great Confucian and imperial examination tribute students in the current literary world, he is just a student who does not do his job, and an alternative scholar full of copper smell will still be despised by orthodox scribes and heartbroken by Confucianism.

Before he could defend himself, he heard a faint conversation in the courtyard, Liu Monong did not perform today, and he secretly went to Su Mansion to visit while he was free from rehearsals.

"Ling'er, where is your brother?"

"In the study, I'm writing a script!"

When Liu Monong heard that Su Chen was writing a drama script for him, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and walked towards the study with a happy expression, he had been to Su Mansion many times, so he was familiar with the road, and he didn't need to lead the way and introduce him at all, and went straight to the man's study.

Yang Linger reminded awkwardly in the back: "Sister Liu, there are still ...... inside"

Before she finished her words, the fragrant wind of willow ink wafted by, and Qianying had already entered the threshold of the study, Ling'er could only hold her forehead and smile bitterly.

Inside the study.

When Su Chen and Xu Qingwan heard the reputation, they saw a woman wearing a robe and a light veil covering her face into the room.

"Liu Huadan?"

"Monong!"

Xu Cainu and Su Chen have different titles, but they also just show the distance of their relationship with each other.

Liu Monong stood there slimly, reached out and took off the veil, untied the cloak and robe tied to his body, revealing the upper and lower skirts inside, and the cut was exquisite. The upper shirt is a narrow lotus shirt, the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with silver wire, and there is a lotus flower, and the corners are inlaid with silk brocade, which is gorgeous and elegant.

The bottom is a light stone blue hem with an arc-shaped pleated leaf skirt, dyed with light ochre white flowers, the style is close to the hips, fluttering, and a thin belt around the waist, which looks slender and beautiful, and the charm is chic.

I have to say that compared with the Tang Dynasty, during the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, women's makeup and clothing have undergone subversive changes after five dynasties and ten kingdoms. The Tang Dynasty regarded fullness as beauty, advocating strong and bright colors, chasing novelty and curiosity, and the trend of inclusiveness and openness is gone forever.

At present, since the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, women no longer pursue fat and round waists, face covered with flowers, and dress up with hats, clothes, and boots; The prosperity of the past, too much decoration and luxury, swept away, replaced by fresh, simple, cinematic, natural new fashion.

The women of this period highlighted the original beauty of women with their true makeup, slender figures, and close-fitting dresses; This kind of return is more beautiful.

"Master Su ......" After Liu Monong opened his mouth, he suddenly found Xu Qingwan here, and was slightly surprised, because she didn't know that Su Chen had confessed her identity to Xu Cainu in the Han Mansion yesterday, and she thought that she would hide it from her, but at this moment, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, how to help Su Chen cover up.

Su Chen seemed to notice Liu Monong's restrained look, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Xu already knows my name, and this time she is here to find Yixuan Gongzi!" ”

Liu Monong suddenly came over, although she was still curious about how she found out, but at this moment she still smiled, and said to the noble and duke's daughter: "Monong has seen Miss Xu. ”

Xu Qingwan has already noticed that Su Chen and Liu Monong have a good personal relationship, it seems that among these women, only she has been kept in the dark, and Liu Monong, Bai Susu, and Peng Jingqing have long been familiar with him, and they have joined forces to deceive the world. Thinking of her own days when she didn't see Jun, the mood of melancholy and loss made her still a little unhappy, and she glanced at Su Chen with resentment in her eyes, and there was a sense of disgust.

"Miss Liu, you're welcome, I didn't expect us to meet in Su Mansion. I thought that Hua Dan, who was the most popular in Runzhou, should be flawless, how could he come here so easily? Xu Qingwan was also a little strange. It stands to reason that after Liu Monong played the role of Cui Yingying, his popularity in Runzhou City remained high, and there were countless fans, so he should be busy with entertainment and rehearsals.

Liu Monong's cheeks were flushed, and he smiled awkwardly: "I'm here to get the remaining two drama scripts, and by the way, I will visit Su Gongzi, if it weren't for this West Chamber, maybe Monong would end up sadly now, so when I came in person, I could show Mo Nong's gratitude." ”

Xu Qingwan nodded slightly, and she knew in her heart that although Liu Monong said this very safely and appropriately, and personally came over to show respect and gratitude to Su Gongzi, she did not have other feelings and ideas. A woman's mind, it is difficult to hide the sensitivity of the same woman!
