When he came to the backyard, Han Zhan saw that there were really a lot of people in the house, in addition to Xiahou Yun and Lihua, there were also a few singers such as Jade and A Nuan. Seeing Han Zhan enter the house, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and saluted him in unison: "The concubine is waiting to see the son!" ”

Don't look at Han Zhan is now the Marquis of Anyang, but he is young after all, so in the backyard, he lets everyone call himself Gongzi, instead of calling him any master, Hou Ye or anything like that. He stretched out his hand and said to the people, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

After everyone sat down, Han Yan excitedly said to everyone: "Today, my eldest brother is going to tell a story, everyone is quiet, listen to what story he is telling." ”

Han Zhan walked straight to the main seat of the big round table in the middle of the room, and after sitting down, he raised his head and said to the women standing around, "Don't be restrained, everyone sit down." ”

Seeing that Han Zhan had already sat down, Cai Yan and Xiahou Yun sat down on his left and right, while Han Yan sat opposite. After the four of them sat down, the rest of them sat down one by one.

After Han Zhan and the others all sat down, he coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said, "If you are idle, Ben Hou will tell you a story about "The Female Concubine" today......

Before he finished speaking, Jade, who was sitting on the lower right hand, tilted his body, put his head close to Ah Nuan, and asked in a low voice: "Female colt?" Ah Nuan, have you ever heard of a colt and a woman? ”

Ah Nuan quickly glanced at Han Zhan, who was sitting on the main seat, and whispered, "Don't talk, listen to the story of the son." ”

Jade didn't get the answer she wanted from Ah Nuan, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. I have the heart to ask again, but I'm afraid that others will be the same as Ah Nuan, and they don't know what is going on with the female concubine. She could only sit up straight, look at Han Zhan, and wait patiently for him to tell the story.

The original storyline of "The Female Concubine" is that Feng Suzhen and Li Zhaoting have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and her mother is the master of marriage. Later, the Li family fell into the middle of the road, Feng's mother also died of illness, and her stepmother hated the poor and loved the rich, so she forced Li Zhaoting to withdraw from the marriage. Feng Suzhen Garden gave silver to Li Zhaoting, but was bumped into by Feng's father, defiled Li as a thief, sent him to prison, and forced Suzhen to remarry someone else.

Feng Suzhen escaped from home disguised as a woman, pretended to be Li Zhaoting in the capital to take the exam, and was forcibly recruited by the royal family as a concubine after winning the top prize. On the night of the candles, Su Zhen revealed her identity to the princess, and with the help of the princess, reversed the case for Li Zhaoting. Later, the emperor accepted Suzhen as a righteous daughter and released Li Zhaoting, who was unjustly imprisoned; And recruit Suzhen's brother and former champion Feng Shaoying as the new horse. The two couples tied the knot at the same time.

If Han Zhan's era was the Ming Dynasty, then this story could be directly copied. But now at the end of the Han Dynasty, there is not even a imperial examination, so naturally there will be no new champions, and such a thing as winning the champion and being recruited by the royal family will naturally not appear in the story. Otherwise, Han Zhan would not have felt such a headache when choosing a story.

Feng Suzhen's experience after running away from home, Han Zhan turned it into staying in a certain place, and met the master's son who had a heavy army, and Suzhen relied on her excellent skills to cure the other party's stubborn disease. In order to express his gratitude to Su Zhen, the master of the family accepted Su Zhen as his righteous son, and let his son raise filial piety.

The way to become an official in the Han Dynasty, in addition to being recruited by the imperial court, is the best way to be filial piety. As soon as Han Zhan changed this, the whole story became reasonable, and he spoke more fluently. The next storyline became that after Su Zhen was promoted to filial piety, she went to a certain county as an official, and in less than a year, she governed the local area at night, and because she was appreciated by the Son of Heaven, she was recruited to Beijing as an official. At the time of the face of the saint, the emperor was happy when he saw that Suzhen was handsome and had not yet been married, so he recruited him as a concubine.

When Han Zhan said this, some jadeites who couldn't sit still burst out laughing. Everyone was listening with relish, and when Jade was interrupted like this, they naturally looked at her with some dissatisfaction. Seeing everyone staring at her, Jade explained with some embarrassment: "I think this emperor is too confused, and he can't even tell the difference between men and women." ”

Rika, who had already heard it, said to Jade dissatisfiedly: "If you are the emperor, I am afraid that you would never dream that your minister would be a woman......"

Before Pear Blossom finished speaking, she was interrupted by Cai Yan: "Pear Blossom, don't say that about the saint, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." Let's continue to listen to Childe's story. Childe, hurry up and say, Feng Suzhen was recruited as a horse, won't the princess see through the candles in the cave room? She was anxious to know the next story, and the next two sentences were said to Han Zhan.

"That's right, big brother, hurry up." Han Yan couldn't help it, and urged Han Zhan vigorously: "Has Feng Suzhen been recognized by the princess?" After seeing through it, how did she deal with it? ”

The most difficult process of recruiting relatives in the whole story was made up by Han Zhan, and the rest was the content in the original work, which was naturally extremely easy to tell. When it came to Feng Suzhen's identity being recognized by the princess, he suddenly felt that his two arms were grabbed, and he didn't need to look to know that the people who grabbed his arms were Cai Yan and Xiahou Yun who were sitting on the left and right.

Han Zhan's heart couldn't help but burst with secret joy, he knew very well that his story must be told wonderfully, and the suspense in the story deeply attracted them, making them involuntarily become nervous. But he was happy not long after, when he talked about the princess threatening Suzhen, saying that she would go to the emperor to complain and put her to death, he suddenly felt pain in both arms, especially Xiahou Yun, a woman who was born as a military general, and her strength was so great that she was about to break her arm.

Han Zhan gasped and said to Xiahou Yun with a bitter face, "Yun'er, can you let go of your hand?" Ben Hou's hands were about to be pinched off. ”

Xiahou Yun realized that he was in trouble, his face turned red, and he quickly let go of Han Zhan's arm, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Childe, the concubine was too nervous to listen, and she couldn't help it for a while, and I ask Childe to forgive me." Cai Yan, who grabbed Han Zhan's arm on the other side, also hurriedly let go.

The next story is naturally a happy ending. After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Cai Yan smiled faintly and said to Han Zhan: "Childe, the kind of story you told today is really quite chic, the concubine has never heard such a story before, I wonder if you can continue to tell it to your sisters tomorrow?" ”

"No problem, Ben Hou has nothing to do at home recently, so you can tell the story slowly."

Cai Yan heard a hint of something wrong from Han Zhan's words, and immediately restrained the smile on his face. She turned to the others sitting at the table and said, "It's not early, Childe must be tired, everyone go back and rest." When everyone heard Cai Yan say this, they got up from their seats and said goodbye.

After Cai Yan waited for only himself, Xiahou Yun and Han Zhan to be left in the room, he asked tentatively: "Childe, the concubine listens to what you say, it seems that she doesn't plan to go to court in the near future?" ”

"That's right." In front of him are the people he trusts the most, Han Zhan naturally doesn't have to hide his true thoughts, he nodded and said: "Ben Hou is too powerful now, if he goes in and out of the court every day, I am afraid it will make more courtiers uneasy, and simply say that he is sick and does not go to the court at home, so as not to become the target of public criticism." ”

Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, died at the hands of Wang Yun, and she naturally understood in her heart what it would be like for a person to have too much power in the court. However, the people who controlled the government in this dynasty did not end well in the end. Therefore, she very much agrees with Han Zhan's practice of retreating from the rapids. She nodded and said, "Childe thinks about it, and it's not a bad thing to appear in the court less. Then for the rest of the day, it's time to tell stories to the sisters in the backyard every day. ”

Han Zhan's mind came up with those thoughts before coming to the backyard, and he asked Cai Yan tentatively: "Zhaoji, tell me, if the story Ben Hou just told is expressed in the form of opera, will it be loved by more people?" ”

Han Zhan originally thought that after he said this, Cai Yan would immediately help him with advice. Who knew that after his words were finished, Cai Yan looked at him with a confused expression, and after a long time, he asked: "Son, the concubine doesn't understand what opera is?" ”
