Xiangyun Pavilion.

In the attic where Liu Monong lives, the vermilion doors and windows, and the goose-yellow gauze curtains next to the window are blown by the breeze, fluttering back and forth.

The interior layout is elegant, with a variety of jade, long strings of the guqin, calligraphy and ink paintings, all of which set off the elegance and holiness of the owner.

Su Chen and Liu Monong sat at the round table of jujube mahogany in the attic, on which was placed a table of sumptuous dishes, six exquisite side dishes, and a pot of fine wine.

Liu Monong stretched out his jade hand, which was as white as greasy, personally poured him the finest wine turbidity, and told Xiaohe to go out and wait, and there was no need to wait on the side.

Su Chen only felt weird, looked around at her room, although she had been here twice, she didn't look carefully, and she always felt that there was an ambiguous atmosphere when she closed the door in broad daylight and drank with a beautiful woman like this.

"Mo Nong's room, haven't you been here twice, and you have stayed here all night, why are you still looking around." Liu Mo smiled faintly, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and elegant posture, which can be used in the painting.

Su Chen smiled embarrassedly: "The first two times I came to see you and save people's hearts, and there were people around me who were watching, so I can't look around at your boudoir furnishings." This time, there is finally no one else, and you are also healed, so I will have a chance to see it twice. ”

Liu Monong nodded his head and said with a little shyness: "If you like to watch it, you can come over from time to time in the future, and I won't charge you money for drinks......"

Su Chen couldn't help but smile: "Then I won't be a person who eats and drinks for nothing." ”

Liu Mo Nong's hand smacked his sandalwood mouth, and said with a smile: "Childe is enough with a pen." ”

She was talking about a pen, and it was okay...... Not a gun!

Su Chen couldn't help but think of Liu Yong, a talented man in the Northern Song Dynasty, who was originally full of literary brilliance, but when he was rushing to take the exam in Bianliang, the capital, he played around, was nostalgic for the Qinglou, and left a lot of twists and turns. However, Song Zhenzong suddenly issued an edict, saying that people who are "superficial" cannot be hired, and Liu Yong, who wrote so many drunken and fanciful words, was brushed down in the first examination.

Liu Yong was not angry when he fell off the list, and wrote a poem "Crane Rushing to the Sky" in a fit of anger to vent his dissatisfaction with the imperial examination:

"On the gold list, I occasionally miss the leader. The temporary legacy of the Ming Dynasty, how to. The attempt is convenient, and the struggle is not to wander wildly. Why mourn? A talented lyricist, he is a white-clothed minister. ”

"Fireworks Alley, Yiyo Danqing Barrier. Fortunately, there is a person who can be searched. And the red leaning on the green, the romance, the life is smooth. Youth is paid. endured the floating name and changed it to a shallow low singing. ”

This word "scolded" so much that it even spread to the palace, Song Zhenzong and the crown prince Zhao Zhen heard about it, and they both made a big difference in their hearts for the name Liu Yong; Not surprisingly, during the reign of Zhenzong, Liu Yong was brushed down several times and never hit.

After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Liu Yong thought that the bad luck had finally passed, but Song Renzong paid attention to Confucianism and was more pragmatic in employing people, and he hated exaggerated and glamorous words very much. When he saw that Liu Yong was also on the examination roster, he proposed to the officials of the Ministry of Rites that Liu Yong "Since you want to 'sing in a low voice', why bother with false fame?" "Deliberately crossed out Liu Yong, who had already won the list.

Since then, Liu Yong has won the name of "filling in the words by order", repeatedly failed in the imperial examination, the second half of his life wasted the years, wandering in the green building, most of the time, he ate and drank in vain, and slept in vain, all with a pen in his hand, writing poems in exchange for life.

Su Chen thought that he had some signs now, and for the sake of his good reputation in the future, he would still try to use Liu Yong's words as little as possible.

Liu Monong raised his glass at this time and said: "Su Gongzi, Mo Nong respects you a glass of wine, in addition to thanking you for saving my life twice, there is also this time for Mo Nong's advice, come up with good ideas for stage plays, and write opera scripts such as "The Legend of the West Chamber", I am sincerely grateful!" ”

Su Chen also picked up the white porcelain wine glass and said politely: "Miss Liu, you don't have to be polite, you and I have met several times, all of them are life-threatening moments, maybe this is the fate of God that we met, and I was sent to save you, so you don't have to be so polite." Perhaps, in your last life, you saved me many times. ”

Liu Monong has a sentimental personality, a soft temper on the outside and a strong on the inside, and has his own code of conduct, after listening to Su Chen's interesting speech, he asked: "Is there really a fate in the world of past and present lives, three lives and three lives?" ”

What about three lives and three lives and ten miles to see peach blossoms?

Su Chen was stunned, he didn't believe in these ethereal religious remarks before, but ...... His current identity change from modern to ancient times, there are some things that cannot be completely disbelieved.

"Shall I tell you a story?" Su Chen suddenly proposed.

"Storytelling? Okay, the story you tell must be very beautiful. Liu Monong has seen his lyrics, and starred in the West Chamber written by him, and his talent has been admired to a very high position, and at this time, he is naturally very happy to hear that the other party wants to tell a story.

"This story is the story of repaying kindness in a previous life. A long, long time ago, there was a little white snake was rescued by a cowherding baby, and later, the little white snake practiced for thousands of years, and became a human form, named Bai Suzhen, soaring clouds and flying to the nine heavens, met the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and got the enlightenment, saying that she was not destined to die, and she needed to go to the world to repay her kindness and find the shepherd boy a thousand years ago. But dozens of lifetimes have passed, and the shepherd boy has long been reincarnated without knowing much, and after the Bodhisattva's guidance, Bai Suzhen finally found the reincarnation of the shepherd boy......

Su Chen told Liu Monong the story of "The Legend of the New White Lady" that he saw in his later life, which included Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Baohetang, the meeting of the broken bridge, and the story of the water flooding Jinshan, and Liu Monong's eyes were moist when he heard it, and he not only envied the love reunion of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, but also sighed at the twists and turns of the husband and wife.

Liu Monong said with emotion: "This story is really poignant and touching, with twists and turns, if only it could be put on the stage in the future." ”

Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes!" After your performance in the West Chamber is successful and gets a good response, there will be a "Peony Pavilion" to make persistent efforts, and then we can interpret fantasy love scripts to avoid the scenes of talent and beauty in love, and the audience will be aesthetically fatigued. ”

"Thank you, Master Su, for being able to be such a thoughtful woman in a place like me, concubine...... Be grateful, and really don't know how to repay it. As he spoke, Liu Monong felt a little sad inexplicably.

Although she is clean and self-conscious, she has only learned people, and she usually dances and writes and makes many talented Confucian students. is a bit arrogant and powerful, a light businessman, and a lonely self-appreciation. However, deep down, there are still some people who feel that their identity is not glorious enough, and the Qingqi people in the land of fireworks, the daughters of ordinary people, still belong to the lowly class, and often take care of themselves because of this.

Su Chen shook his head and said: "Miss Liu, don't despise yourself, with your beautiful appearance and self-righteous reputation, no one will slander you more, but respect you more." In my eyes, the girl is like a fresh and eternal lotus flower, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, how can I despise it! ”

When Liu Monong heard such a sincere and elegant evaluation from the other party, he was moved, and suddenly grabbed his wrist on the table, and said excitedly: "Do you really really see Mo Nong?" ”

Su Chen didn't break free of his wrist, but smiled sincerely: "That's natural, otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to visit you, give you advice, and stay alone with you for a drink, which shows that I regard you as a true friend and can trust your character and reputation!" ”

Originally, Liu Monong was a happy woman, and the words of praise had long been immune, and she was used to it, but for some reason, when Su Chen in front of her spoke, she was still moved, and her heart was pounding like a deer.
