The spring is cold, warm and cold, and the temperature is still relatively low, but the vitality of spring appears everywhere in the Guanshishan Academy.

The plum has just withered, and a pear tree has brought people the breath of spring.

Thirteen years after entering Zhenguan, there was nothing to do in the first month, and Li Kuan began a plan to enrich Datang's entertainment life.

Although he was going to build an opera house, he couldn't build it for a while, so Li Kuan simply began to think about what kind of play he wanted to launch in the opera house at that time.

Tang poems, Song songs, Yuan songs, and dramas, Guan Hanqing's contribution in the Yuan Dynasty is still quite large.

Whether it is "Dou E's Injustice", "Moon Worship Pavilion", or "Save the Wind and Dust", and "Single Knife Meeting", they are all quite famous.

Sooner or later, Li Kuan will have to change these plays and put them in the opera house.

However, as the first play of the opera house, Li Kuan thought of "The Legend of the White Snake".

Of course, in the original book, the legend of the White Snake took place in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it must not be written like this now.

However, it is completely possible to move it to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there is no problem.

Anyway, in that chaotic Northern and Southern Dynasties, such a twisted story happened, which made people feel more credible.

It's better to act than to move.

Once Li Kuan made a decision, he immediately began to dictate, first put out the "Legend of the White Snake", circle a wave of fans, and then launch a drama, it is difficult not to be popular.

"I saw the good little shepherd boy say to the snake catcher, 'Let it go, it's so pitiful.' ”

"Lord Wang, this snake catcher is so hateful."

Qing'er clenched her little fists indignantly, looking like she wanted to hit someone.

As Li Kuan began to dictate "The Legend of the White Snake", a group of people gathered in the lobby of the annex of the Chu Palace.

Wu Meiniang's handwriting is good, her brain is flexible, and her writing is also good, so she naturally played the role of a clerk, listening to Li Kuan's story, while recording the content inside, and after returning to the room at night, she added a little polish.

The next day, she would also give her rearranged chapters to Li Kuan.

"Qing'er, don't talk, listen carefully."

Seeing that Li Kuan was in the middle of the story because of Qing'er's words, Luzhu said with a dissatisfied face.

And Cheng Jingwen, Wu Guo, and Li Mingda also turned their heads to look at Qing'er, and the little girl had to playfully stick out her tongue, saying that she would not interject again.

"1,800 years later, Mount Emei was upside down, lightning and thunder, and in an instant, the wind was fierce and the clouds were thick; Then a bean-sized raindrop fell from the sky. I saw that there was another thunderbolt between heaven and earth, which was deafening. At this moment, the raindrops formed a line, and with a bang, the heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the sky had collapsed. At this time, a white python broke through the mountain and soared into the sky. ”

The entire lobby was silent, and even Wu Meiniang couldn't help but stop and listen intently to Li Kuan's story.

These people who have not been brainwashed by the massive amount of information in later generations, where is there any resistance.

Whether it is in this era or in the script, except for Li Kuan's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the others are far less interesting than "The Legend of the White Snake" at this time.

The books you see on weekdays are either boring scriptures such as "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn", or historical books such as "Book of Han" and "Book of Wei".

This situation did not really change until the Ming Dynasty.

It is no wonder that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" caused a sensation as soon as it came out and became the best-selling book of the year.

And now this "The Legend of the White Snake" is obviously more entertaining and storytelling, which can definitely attract the love of countless people, especially those women in the boudoir.

You must know that even in the nineties of the later generations, a "Legend of the New White Lady" adapted from "The Legend of the White Snake" can cause thousands of empty alleys.

This is already an era when entertainment life is far richer than that of Datang.

Li Kuan himself was very impressed, when he was young, he didn't have a TV at home, so in order not to fall behind the "Legend of the New White Lady", which started broadcasting at 12 o'clock at noon every day, every time he got home, he ate two bites of food casually, so he ran to the same school with a TV at home, and waited for the TV to start broadcasting two episodes a day.

And when I arrived at school, the students discussed the scenes on TV.

From "White Eyebrows" to "The Legend of the New White Lady", and then "The Condor Heroes" and "Huanzhu Gege", these are all TV series that caused countless people to follow the drama in the 90s.

Although it is impossible to have TV now, converting them into dramas in the era of Datang will definitely not be less attractive than TV dramas to future generations.

Looking at the reactions of Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang, the top women of this era, after listening to the story dictated by Li Kuan, you can predict the grand occasion when the drama will appear in the opera house in the future.

"Lord Wang, you continue."

Seeing Li Kuan pause for a while, Cheng Jingwen couldn't help but urge.

"I saw that this white snake went through wind and rain, and after thousands of years of cultivation, it finally shed its snake body and was able to turn into a human form." Li Kuan was a little helpless, he still wanted to take a sip of tea and take a break, but seeing the reaction of these people, he should continue to endure it.

After the white snake turned into a human form, he named himself Bai Suzhen, known as the White Lady. The white lady was about to go to Mount Emei to continue her cultivation, and on the way she met Guanyin Bodhisattva. ”

"Avalokiteshvara? I remember that in the Lotus Sutra Pumenpin, it says: If all sentient beings hear that there is an Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva in their afflictions, and they recite the holy name of Guanyin with devotion and devotion to it, Guanyin Bodhisattva will immediately hear the voice of each sentient being and provide relief at the same time, so it is called Avalokiteshvara. Lord, this is the case with you, Guanyin Bodhisattva, right? ”

Wu Meiniang is worthy of being a talented woman, Li Kuan just mentioned Guanyin, and she said its source.

"That's right, it's this Guanyin. The White Lady got Guanyin's suggestion and knew that if she wanted to cultivate to become an immortal, she had to give a relationship in the world, so she came to the edge of the West Lake in Qiantang County according to the instructions to find a life-saving benefactor. ”

"Lord Wang, this West Lake in Qiantang County was only called in the former Sui Dynasty. Didn't you say the Southern Dynasties at the beginning, at that time, West Lake should have been called Qiantang Lake. ”

Li Kuan: ......

The cultural level of the audience is too high, and it is much more difficult to make up this story.

was picked out by Wu Meiniang for a loophole, Li Kuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that West Lake was a familiar name to everyone, and if it was replaced by Qiantang Lake, it would be a little unaccustomed.

Besides, since there was already a name for West Lake in the Sui Dynasty, and now it has reached the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, it is simply called West Lake.

"Mei Niang is right, but the prince's "The Legend of the White Snake" is just a copy, using West Lake instead of Qiantang Lake, it is estimated that the people of Chang'an City will be more accustomed to it."

Cheng Jingwen's explanation is very much in line with Li Kuan's wishes.

"yes, that's what I thought."

Li Kuan's face turned red, and then he continued to pick up the teacup and drink tea, "I want to know what happened to this white lady on the way to West Lake, whether she can find a life-saving benefactor, and listen to the next decomposition." ”

"Second brother, can you talk about it for a while, how can you sleep when you go back like this?"

The son has now reached the stage of being sensible, and when he saw that Li Kuan stopped talking about this, he immediately stopped doing it.

"That's right, Lord Wang, you can talk about it for a while, I'll pour you a cup of tea, if you feel tired, you can rest for a quarter of an hour before talking."

Qing'er is a story mystery, and I can't wait for Li Kuan to finish all the stories at once today.

"This is so interesting at the beginning, if the whole story is finished, wouldn't it be even more attractive than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

Kujou Xingxiang on the side couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Wang, it's still early, so let's talk about it for a while." Even Cheng Jingwen couldn't help but urge.

Seeing that the public was angry, Li Kuan had no choice but to tell everyone another story about Bai Suzhen's encounter with the green snake on the way.

After finishing speaking, I only felt that my mouth was dry, and I didn't want to continue talking.

There are at least forty or fifty times in this "The Legend of the White Snake", and even if you streamline it yourself, you have to have thirty or forty times.

At this pace, I can't finish talking until it's dark or dawn.

Seeing that Li Kuan's attitude was more resolute this time, everyone finally gave up the idea of continuing to chase books today.

In the next few days, Li Kuan was surrounded by a group of girls as soon as he finished breakfast.

Those expectant eyes......

Li Kuan sighed and continued to fill in the pit he had dug!

……

In the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, the princess of Chu and the eldest grandson queen gathered together.

And the center of everyone is the eldest grandson queen who is holding a manuscript.

"'Little lady, is this the golden fork you dropped?' , I saw that Bai Suzhen deliberately dropped a golden fork in front of Xu Xian, wanting to test the character of this Lang Jun. And the long flower and moon appearance, like Bai Suzhen who is like a fairy descending to earth, also made Xu Xian fall in love at first sight. ”

Empress Changsun took the manuscript that her son brought back from the Chu Palace, and told the story to everyone.

She just listened to a little bit of the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" from her son-in-law's mouth one after another, and she was hooked, and then there was the matter of her son-in-law taking someone to copy Wu Meiniang's manuscript.

Li Kuan talks about it two or three times a day, but in just a few days, the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" is displayed in front of everyone.

The flesh-and-blood characters and the bizarre and extraordinary storylines made the audience amazed.

Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen's distant figure and stood there for a long time. Seeing that the hour was not early, I had to regretfully go to take the boat, but I unexpectedly met Bai Suzhen and her party again on the boat. ”

Empress Changsun said that her mouth was dry, as long as she simply dictated the content she had processed, she didn't read it word by word.

Some plots are still waiting for the book to be published, so let's leave it to everyone to enjoy it slowly.

"The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is in March, the spring rain is like wine and willows, and the smoke is there. There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but it is difficult to hold hands without a chance to hold hands on ......the other side."

"Queen Mother, this passage is not pronounced like this, it must be sung."

The son-in-law was attached to the eldest grandson queen, and when she heard her say her favorite plot, she couldn't help but raise her head to correct it.

"But the queen mother has never heard anyone else sing, and she can't sing." Empress Eldest Sun said with a little embarrassment.

"I will." After the son finished speaking, he didn't wait for the eldest grandson queen to say anything, and began to sing, "The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is in March, the spring rain is like wine and willows, and the smoke is like smoke...... La-la. ”

The little girl's voice is very crisp, although there is a little less sense of vicissitudes, but the tune of the lyrics is very accurate.

This is what she personally heard Li Kuan sing.

"This tune...... The rhythm is a little weird, the lyrics are also unique, it doesn't seem to be very neat, but it sounds like it's eye-catching, that is, a talent like His Royal Highness the King of Chu can integrate such a tune into a story. ”

In the harem, there is no shortage of concubines who are proficient in music and rhythm.

After the song ended, Concubine De couldn't help but express her opinion.

"That's true, the most important thing is that this song follows the storyline so well. If you listen to this song alone, you may also think that it is catchy and seems to be good. But when listening to this story, another song of this song will make people tremble and clap their hands. ”

Wei Guifei also opened her mouth to praise a few words.

"Kuan'er has been making a new one for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing again."

The princess of Chu couldn't help but smile, proud of Li Kuan.

"Mother, go on, I want to hear it again."

The son looked at the eldest grandson queen with a wistful face, which made the latter speechless.

The master of his own dignified harem has now become a storyteller.

There's no way, who let himself let himself when he heard "The Legend of the White Snake" told him for the first time, he couldn't help but show off to everyone the next day.

"After the ship docked, it had already rained and the sky was clear, and Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing ......"

In the Penglai Palace, the voice of the eldest grandson queen telling the story sounded again.

……

Li Kuan's story is told very quickly, but just after the Lantern Festival, "The Legend of the White Snake" has come to an end.

"Leifeng Pagoda fell, and the West Lake dried up. Xu Shilin, who was already a high school champion and was wearing an official robe, thought that he could save his mother from Leifeng Tower, but he got such an answer. ”

"Lord Wang, this imperial examination was only started in the former Sui Dynasty, when the Southern Dynasty was the top student in high school?"

Wu Meiniang's pen was like flying, but when she wrote the word champion, she couldn't help but question it again.

"It's okay, that's it, I didn't say exactly when it was the Southern Dynasty."

There was no way, Li Kuan had to casually make an excuse for himself.

However, he is also reflecting in his heart, the next time he tells a story, he must find a story whose dynasty is not so clear, or a story based on the previous dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Meiniang of the province often points out the logical loopholes of the story on the side.

"Xu Shilin has the spirit of foolishness and believes that man will win the sky. So, he personally changed into his working clothes, picked up a hoe, and prepared to pry open the Leifeng Pagoda and scoop the water of the West Lake......"

The printing workshop of the Chu Wangfu has been busy since the New Year.

Wu Meiniang sorted out the contents of the day, and the printing workshop began to prepare the corresponding printing things.

After the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" was finally told, it was only three or five days, and the first batch of books had already appeared in Xinhua Bookstore.

……

Guo Dezhi has been under a lot of pressure recently.

Wuheju changed from the first restaurant in Chang'an City to the second, and then recently fell to the third, although the business in the building can not be said to be plummeting, but compared with Ajinomoto and Diandude, there is still a significant gap.

Even Guo Dezhi's reward has dropped a lot compared to the past.

The shopkeeper Pan Wang is Guo Dezhi's benefactor, although many restaurants have thought of digging Guo Dezhi, but he is desperate to stay in Wuheju and never think of changing jobs.

The more this happens, the more pressure he has.

At the beginning, I relied on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to turn over, and it would be nice if I could find a copy comparable to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again.

With this thought, Guo Dezhi will go to the bookstores in Chang'an City every once in a while.

Whether it is Sanwei Bookstore or Xinhua Bookstore, they are all places he frequents.

Unfortunately, the more he went, the more disappointed he became.

Of course, there are often new books launched in these places, but they are comparable to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", no, not to say comparable, even if there are half of the good books of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he has not seen any of them.

"Guo Langjun, you're here."

The guys at Xinhua Bookstore all know Guo Dezhi, a famous storyteller in Chang'an City.

"Dude, are there any new books on the shelves these days?"

Guo Dezhi, as usual, asked about the new book first.

"Hey, Lang Jun, you're the right one to come to our Xinhua Bookstore today. I tell you, I will not disappoint you today. ”

After listening to it, Guo Dezhi didn't have a bright eye or couldn't wait to read the new book.

The guys at Xinhua Bookstore don't know how many times they've told him.

Every time I say that I have come to the right place, and every time I say that I will not let myself down.

I have become numb to this routine.

"The new book is still in that area, right?"

"That's right, you go to the middle of the first floor, where our best new books are showcased." Seeing that Guo Dezhi didn't have any reaction, the guy couldn't help but speak up again, "Lang Jun, I don't lie to you, a new book just came to the shop yesterday, called "The Legend of the White Snake", which was dictated by His Royal Highness the King of Chu and sorted out by the Wu shopkeeper. ”

Wu Meiniang has been in charge of many commercial matters in the Chu Wangfu recently, and many businessmen in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an City have heard of such a number one person in the Chu Wangfu, and some have even seen her in person.

And a well-informed person like Guo Dezhi, who has been in the restaurant all the year round, has naturally heard of this legendary woman.

Now that he suddenly heard the guy say that this "The Legend of the White Snake" was actually dictated by His Royal Highness the King of Chu and sorted out by Wu Meiniang, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Although the author of his famous work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was Luo Guanzhong, no one in Chang'an City had ever seen this person, and many people thought that this Luo Guanzhong was just a pen name written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the actual author should be His Royal Highness the King of Chu himself.

It's a pity that since "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a few years have passed, and Guo Dezhi has never seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu write again.

"This is "The Legend of the White Snake"?"

Guo Dezhi was very familiar with the layout of Xinhua Bookstore, and after a short time, he came to the new book display area.

Then I saw a row of brand-new books appear in front of me.

The Legend of the White Snake has a total of about 500,000 words, and in the era of 5 million words and 6 million words on the Internet in later generations, the book of 500,000 words is just the beginning.

But in Datang, it is a proper long story.

So far, in addition to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with more than 600,000 words. Guo Dezhi has not seen a longer one.

Seeing the young couple holding an umbrella on the title page of "The Legend of the White Snake", Guo Dezhi took a deep breath and turned the first page of the upper part.

"A long, long time ago, a little white snake cultivated at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain......"

Guo Dezhi was a little disappointed, the beginning of this story is far from the Three Kingdoms' "rolling Yangtze River east passing water, waves sweeping away heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

However, there was nothing else to gain today, and Guo Dezhi still patiently began to watch it.

This is a terrible sight.

It's just that he has just turned to the second page, and Guo Dezhi has begun to immerse himself in the storyline and can't extricate himself.

With the bits and pieces between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, Guo Dezhi's face showed a smile for a while, and tears flowed for a while.

"Guo Langjun, we're closing."

The guy saw Guo Dezhi standing there with a book in his arms for most of the day, but no one went to catch him.

This kind of scene is very common in Xinhua bookstores.

Some scholars hold a book, or stand, or squat in this corner, or sit directly on the ground, looking at it for a morning, or even a day.

As long as they don't deliberately damage the books, the guys in the store won't care about them.

This is also what Li Kuan specially ordered, other bookstores, if you just read books and don't buy books, the guys in the store would have come to drive people away.

However, in his previous life, Li Kuan himself had been such a book rubber, and his tolerance for this kind of thing was much higher.

However, seeing that the sun had set and the night was about to fall, the man began to remind the customers in the store.

"Huh? Oh! Good! ”

Guo Dezhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky outside, and knew that he was fascinated and should have stayed here for an afternoon.

"This "The Legend of the White Snake", there are three parts, each of which gives me ten copies."

Guo Dezhi looked at "The Legend of the White Snake", which had only finished reading half of the "Legend of the White Snake" in his hand, and his face began to show an excited expression.

The guy on the side was a little baffled.

This Guo Dezhi stood here and read a book for an afternoon, and he thought that he was also rubbing books like everyone else, but he didn't expect that he was a big customer, and he bought so much in one go.

After so many years of development, the technology of the papermaking workshops and printing workshops in the Chu Wangfu has improved.

The paper is more beautiful, the handwriting is clearer, and correspondingly, the price is a little more expensive.

Of course, such a book is now equivalent to three or four books in the past, and if it were really calculated by the number of words, the price of the book would still drop by half.

"Do you want ten copies of each?"

The guy couldn't help but double-check.

This Guo Dezhi is not a bookseller who came to Chang'an from other places to buy goods, why did he buy so many "The Legend of the White Snake" by himself?

"Yes, ten copies each, can you help me find a rope to tie?"

"The Legend of the White Snake" is so exciting, Guo Dezhi is ready to go back and organize it into a storytelling book overnight.

You don't have to wait for everything to be sorted out, but you can sort out some of it tonight, and you can tell the content of the first round of the story from tomorrow.

Listening to the guy's words, this "The Legend of the White Snake" just arrived yesterday, and at the usual rate, no one should launch the content of the story earlier than himself.

However, this story is so good, in order to avoid being preempted, Guo Dezhi feels that he can't be lucky at all.

"Okay, no problem, wait a minute!"

confirmed that Guo Dezhi really needed so many books, and the guy was no longer curious about what Guo Dezhi was going to do when he bought such a book, so he hurriedly went to the warehouse to carry the books.
