Li An is talking about the common people of the Tang Dynasty, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which is known to almost everyone, and the spread of this story is so widespread that even the rural people of the Tang Dynasty can tell a paragraph, not to mention those who specialize in storytelling.

In times of peace, people are more in the pursuit of spiritual and material enjoyment, especially after the material life is satisfied, they will begin to pursue spiritual enjoyment, nothing to read books and listen to plays, it is a good pastime, such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, such a poignant love story, but also can deeply attract people's attention, especially young men and women, are the most fond of listening to this kind of story.

However, there are many versions of this poignant story, although the general content is similar, but there are always some discrepancies, for example, there are discrepancies where the Cowherd stole clothes, and some versions are that the Seven Fairies went to the mortal world to take a bath and were stolen by the Cowherd, so there is no way to return to Heaven on time, and there are also versions that the Cowherd flew to Heaven wearing the skin of an old cow, stole the Weaver Girl's clothes in the sky, and ran back to his home, and after the Weaver Girl chased to the Cowherd's home, she was with the Cowherd.

Of course, there are more versions, in addition, there are certain differences in other aspects, large and small versions and various adaptations, there are still hundreds, and even, there may be more.

After all, the story itself is artificially made, and since it is artificially made, you can continue to make it up and make up all kinds of versions, in addition, many stories are passed on by word of mouth, but if you spread it like this, there will inevitably be deviations, just like the words, it will change its flavor when it is passed on, and there will naturally be more and more versions.

However, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl itself cannot be changed, that is to say, no matter how the version of the story changes, the overall story framework will not change, and the ending of the story is the same, and a slight difference is not enough to affect the charm of the whole story.

Of course, there will be some more serious people, after listening to the first version, they can't accept the rest of the version anyway, if they hear other versions, there are still differences from the original, they will immediately jump up, point out that the storyteller is not, tell the storyteller that he is wrong!

Of course, the vast majority of people will not mind these differences, they care more about the fun of the story itself, as long as the story is more interesting, they will love to listen, how many times to listen to it will not feel tired, after all, in ancient times when entertainment culture was relatively scarce, people really did not have many ways to entertain, listening to books is a better way.

However, Li An was not telling the story just now, but summarized the outline of the story in one sentence, so Li Xiaolu naturally didn't understand it very well, looked at Li An, and said: "Li Shilang, this story is too short, just one sentence?" ”

Li An smiled faintly and said: "That's just the synopsis of the story, not the whole story, the whole story is relatively long, and it will take a long time to tell, you have to be patient to listen." ”

"Well, I have the patience to listen, let's talk!"

Li Xiaolu put her face on Ang Lee's chest and said softly.

Li An gently stroked Li Xiaolu's back while explaining the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Before telling the story, Ang Lee first looked at the sky outside the window and told Li Xiaolu the location of the Cowherd Star and the Vega Star.

"The Cowherd Star is the brightest star on this side, and the Vega Star is the brightest star on the other side, hey, it's really the brightest."

Li Xiaolu said with a smile.

She used to look at the stars every day, but they were all indiscriminate, and she didn't know that the stars in the sky and their respective names, she thought that the stars were just some small dots, but she didn't expect that there would be a romantic love story, which greatly surprised her, and the mind of listening to the story was even stronger.

Ang Lee pointed to the stars in the sky and explained for a while, and then began to explain the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, a poignant love story.

According to legend, a long time ago, in a big mountain, there was a family, all the old people in the family died, only two brothers were left in the family, the eldest married a daughter-in-law, and the second was because of his young age, so naturally there was no daughter-in-law, and this second child is the hero of the story, Cowherd.

The life of the Cowherd is very hard, and the daughter-in-law married by his brother has a bad heart, always thinking about occupying the family business left by the old man, and even driving the Cowherd out.

Although this poor cowherd suffered very badly, but the old cow he raised was reincarnated by a Taurus from the sky, and came to the world to experience, he felt that the cowherd was also a good child, so he helped him in all aspects and helped the cowherd through crises.

Once, when the cowherd was herding cattle, he fell asleep in the grass, and his sister-in-law came to bring him food, and when she saw him sleeping, she scolded him fiercely, threw the food on the ground, twisted her buttocks and left.

The Cowherd was hungry for a long time, and quickly finished the meal, but the big yellow cow next to him smashed the jar, after all, it was the reincarnation of Taurus, and he knew that this meal was poisonous, if the Cowherd ate it, then he would definitely die.

The big black dog next to him naturally didn't know that the food was poisonous, and when it saw that the food had been broken, it immediately ran over and ate all the food, which is also a very normal habit of dogs, accustomed to eating food that fell on the ground.

The cowherd covered his stomach and sighed, the taste of hunger was naturally very uncomfortable, but soon the big black dog died of poison, which was already very obvious, it was his sister-in-law who poisoned the food.

If you continue to stay with this vicious sister-in-law, it is estimated that your life will soon be lost, and the cowherd drove the cow home after sunset, and saw his brother crying.

The elder brother comforted the cowherd and asked the cowherd what was wrong, and the cowherd told him what had happened, and told his brother that the big black dog ate the food sent by his sister-in-law and was poisoned, but his brother was a master who was afraid of his mother-in-law, although he knew what was going on, but he couldn't fight the women in the family, and he was in trouble.

The cowherd also knew that his family was relatively poor, and it was not easy for his brother to marry a daughter-in-law, so he took the initiative to split the family and the two of them were separated, so that there would be fewer opportunities for contact in the future, and it would not be easy to be poisoned by the vicious sister-in-law.

The elder brother naturally seems very embarrassed, one is that the younger brother Cowherd is still too young, let him live alone, he is a little uneasy as an elder brother, in addition, the elder brother goes out to work, and it is more troublesome if there is no helper at home, but if you make do with it, you are afraid that the younger brother will have three long and two short.

Seeing that his brother was worried, the cowherd took the initiative to say that he would not share a lot of property, and only needed the old cow, that is, the cow reincarnated by Taurus.

My brother was still hesitating, but my sister-in-law happened to hear it, and she was very happy, after all, there was a house and many items at home, and the value was far more valuable than a cow, so the master agreed to the cowherd's proposal to divide the family.

So the cowherd took the reincarnated old cow and left the house, walked farther and farther, and finally stopped, cut down many branches, built a shed along the hillside, and stayed.

Taurus went down to earth for the sake of the calamity, and when the time came, it was natural to return to heaven, and the way to return was death.

The first dream is to tell the Cowherd that it is the reincarnation of Taurus in the sky and is going to return to heaven, so that the Cowherd should not be sad.

The second dream is to tell the cowherd that he will take off his cowhide and fly into the sky with it.

The third dream is to tell the Cowherd that the Queen Mother has seven daughters and will go to the Tianhe to take a bath, and the fairy in green clothes will be his future wife, let him steal the clothes, take advantage of the fairies to bathe in the river, steal the green clothes, and run home, so that the fairy who lost her clothes will definitely chase after herd, and as long as she chases to the cowherd's house, she will definitely not leave.

The next day, when the cowherd got up, he found that the big yellow cow was really dead, and he was very sad, so he followed the instructions of the old yellow cow to peel the cow skin, and buried the rest.

On the day of the seventh day of July, the cowherd put on a cowhide, immediately left the ground with his feet, and came to the bank of the Tianhe River in a leisurely manner, he quietly hid in the woods and waited, and sure enough, he saw seven fairies running coming, they took off their clothes one by one, and jumped into the water.

The Cowherd remembered the dream of the old scalper, quietly touched it, found the green clothes, grabbed it and ran, of course the fairy who lost the clothes did not let it, and chased it when it came out of the water, and this chase was chased to the Cowherd's house.

The fairy asked the cowherd why she wanted to take her clothes, and the cowherd said that she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, and the fairy repeatedly said that the rules of heaven would not allow her to be together.

But the Cowherd told the fairy that there is love in the world, which is better than in the sky, and the Weaver Girl has never been to the world, and she is more curious about the world, and the Cowherd is indeed good-looking, so he should be the Cowherd as his daughter-in-law.

In the days that followed, the fairy played flowers and weaved cloth at home every day, people called her the weaver girl, and the cowherd went out to sell cloth every day to make money, and the life of the young couple was still very good, and they gave birth to a son, a daughter and two children in three or five years.

But the Weaver Girl married the Cowherd privately, after all, it was against the rules of heaven, so the Jade Emperor sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to arrest the Weaver Girl back, and the Cowherd went home to see, only two children were crying, the Weaver Girl was nowhere to be found, and the anxious was to turn around, and the eldest child's hand pointed to the sky, and the Cowherd thought that the Weaver Girl was gone.

He hurriedly picked up the two children with a flat shoulder, put on a cowhide to chase the Weaver Girl, and saw that he was about to catch up, the Queen Mother was very annoyed, pulled off the silver hairpin on her head, and swiped between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and immediately formed a heavenly river, completely separating the two.

In order to give the other party a thought, let the other party not forget himself, the Cowherd took out the cow buckle sleeve and threw it at the Weaver Girl, the Weaver Girl took it in her hand, and the Weaver Girl threw the weaving shuttle to the Cowherd, because the hand strength was small, so the weaving shuttle was thrown crookedly, until now, there is a buckle star in the arms of the Vega Star on one side of the Tianhe, and there is a shuttle star next to the Cowherd Star on the other side.

The steadfast love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl touched the magpie, and soon, countless magpies flew over the Tianhe River and built a colorful bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe.

The Emperor of Heaven had no choice but to allow the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet once a year on the Magpie Bridge on July 7, and the magpie would also be by his side, and because the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would walk over the top of the magpie's head, the hair on the top of the magpie's head was trampled bald.

In one breath, Li An explained all the poignant love stories of the girl and the weaver girl one by one, talking about the sound and color, which made people feel very good when they listened to it, Li Xiaolu was obsessed with it, and looked at Li An with great admiration.

"What a touching legend! The two stars in the sky, are they really the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? ”

Li Xiaolu seemed to be stuck in it and asked.

Li An gently stroked Li Xiaolu's shoulder and said: "This is just a legend, a story made up by people, but many people are willing to believe that this is true, and there are many great Tang poets who use beautiful poems to describe the touching story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" ”

"Tang poems, I like them very much, but unfortunately I don't understand a lot of them, and I need someone else to explain them well to understand what they mean."

Li Xiaolu said.

"Then do you want to listen to the ancient poems about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl now?"

Ang Lee asked.

"Yes, of course I do, I want to listen."

Li Xiaolu said.

Li An moistened his throat and began to plagiarize.

The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man travels all the way to the dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Magpie Bridge! If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight!

After reciting a poem, Ang Li felt that it was still not enjoyable enough, and came another song "Who is Jin Suo busy for at night, and the peach blossoms are full of fragrance across the water." All the nations are covered with rain and dew, and the nine times want to make up for Shun's clothes. Qiluo's light reflects the clouds, and the sound of the machine throws the sun and the moon long. But he laughed that there was a fairy on the rooftop, who would remember Liu Lang in this life. ”

Seeing that Li Xiaolu still wanted to hear it, Li An continued to recite the poem: "Morning Glory, the Han Girl of the Bright River, the slender hand, and the machine." All day long, sobbing is like rain. The river is clear and shallow, a few times apart, and the pulse is silent. ”

After reciting three poems related to the love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in one go, Ang Li looked at Li Xiaolu and asked, "Little beauty, how much do you understand?" ”

Li Xiaolu smiled and said, "No, I didn't understand a word, Li Shilang explained it to me, okay." ”

"Hmph, you little fool doesn't understand at all, okay! I'll explain it to you sentence by sentence, listen carefully! ”

Li An smiled and began to explain the meaning of the poems just now to Li Xiaolu, these poems are not difficult, but the difficulty is that Li Xiaolu is a Europa, and she has no concept of Datang's poetry at all, it can be said that she doesn't know anything, he just learned the language and writing of Datang, and she seems a little powerless for the more difficult poems.
