Part 2 The Elegant Career of a Corrupt Official Chapter 2147 Beginning and Ending with Confusion

Regarding Su Dongpo's question, Zhan Qinqin lowered her head and smiled, and replied: "There are also differences. ”

Su Dongpo asked in surprise: "Why?" ”

Zhan Qinqin said: "The public word, you must use the second general, the copper pipa, the iron plate, and sing the big Jiangdong to go to the waves." Bachelor Liu only used fifteen or sixteen little girls to sing his willow shore Xiaofeng wanyue can also. ”

Su Dongpo applauded and laughed and said: "As Qing said, Liu Zisheng is better than me." ”

Zhou Bangshi didn't give face, he clapped his hands and recited: "The excellent phrase has praise, and Liu Yong's words are better than Zizhan." A big river to the east is not as good as the willow and the wind. ”

Everyone smiled wryly.

Su Dongpo's preciousness lies in this, all the people present are looking at him and making fun of him, but no one's laughter is as loud as his. His proud laughter is the heartiest.

If the person being teased is Chen Yiyi, it is estimated that she will hate you to death, instruct the students to kill you, and find every opportunity to scold you to death; If it is Jia Yi and Liu Anshi...... But Su Dongpo smiled, he pointed at Zhou Bang and laughed.

Su Dun was puzzled, and in the laughter of everyone, he asked curiously: "Father, what are you laughing at, smiling so happily?" ”

"Others laugh at me, I laugh at myself", Su Dongpo laughed, picked up Su Dun, and walked to the end of the embankment against the sun, laughing as he walked, laughing without worry.

The other people present did not move, they shook their heads with a smile, while tasting the new tea as if nothing had happened, Zhao Xing was about to follow Su Shi, but seeing Su Shi's free and easy back, he stopped and walked out of the pavilion with joy. Looking at the beautiful West Lake, my heart is full of satisfaction.

This year is still a disaster year, thanks to Su Dongpo, the people of Hangzhou have a hub waterwheel, can pump groundwater to fight drought, and last year's surplus grain and grass is quite sufficient, so although Hangzhou has suffered the third consecutive disaster year, the faces of the people shuttling on the shore of the West Lake are all peaceful.

The singing in the pavilion resumed, singing the top brand of Hangzhou's official prostitute Bai Chuchu, who was nicknamed the "Nine-Tailed Demon Fox" in Hangzhou. Zhao Xing looked at Bai Chuchu's flattering state and almost suspected that Pan Jinlian was portrayed according to Bai Chuchu's image.

If you analyze Bai Chuchu with the eyes of modern people, it can be said that Bai Chuchu is a person who is very good at body language, and she will use her body to make all kinds of flattery. Those charms are subtle but not revealed, making people feel elegant, like a drizzle of subtle attraction, no, strictly speaking, being seduced, unconsciously. You will think that this woman is extremely cute, like a treasure, and you just want to hold it in your hand and take care of it. I want to be close to her again. Dissolved in her body, hating two people and being one.

Bai Chuchu's singing voice is smaller than Liao Xiaolai's, and her singing skills are 108,000 miles different, but her slightly low and hoarse voice, like a magnet, sucks people's ears, making people afraid of missing a word. I'm worried that I heard the wrong expression of the beauty. The people in the pavilion are no longer in the house. Only Zhao Xing is a person who has seen the singing of Ye Yuqing and Ye Zilin. In order to hold the ground, he listened to the song with half his ear, and the other half ear listened to the sound of the willows on the embankment.

I don't know when, Zhan Qinqin walked out of the pavilion, made a gesture at Zhao Xing, and said, "Big official, why don't you go in?" ”

Zhao Xing looked at the actor who played "Xiuxiu", his heart was full of tenderness, and asked casually: "I have watched all the dramas you brought, when will "The Legend of the West Chamber" be played, I am looking forward to seeing Cui Yingying." ”

Zhan Qinqin hadn't answered yet, Qin Guan walked out of the pavilion leisurely with a cup of tea, and heard the second half of what Zhao Xing said, he took a sip of the tea in the cup and said: "No problem, didn't you say that "West Chamber" will be performed on July 7, there is no problem, July 7 will definitely let you see "West Chamber". ”

The most popular dramas in the Song Dynasty were "The Eunuch Disciple Makes a Mistake" and "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Jade Guanyin". Liao Xiaoxiao brought back this troupe from the capital, and originally they were best at the latter two dramas, but Zhao Xing never let them perform "The Legend of the West Chamber", because he learned from other sources that at this time, "The Legend of the West Chamber" was basically still using the Tang Dynasty Yuanzhidi "Huizhen Ji" (also known as "The Legend of Yingying").

The original work of "The Legend of Yingying" is a story of a man who is discouraged, starts and abandons, and brings insults and injuries to women. This is a "talented and beautiful" love, Zhang Sheng and Yingying once fell in love, and finally turned their backs. Zhang Sheng was a Confucian who played with women without shame, and he abandoned Yingying from the beginning to the end, which was completely in line with Confucian etiquette and morality, and was even praised as reforming and restoring morality and etiquette.

The Tang Dynasty's "The Legend of the Yingying" arrived in the Song Dynasty, which no longer conformed to the moral foundation of the Song Dynasty, and the people of the Song Dynasty were extremely unaccustomed to the praise of the beginning and the end of the abandonment, and many people had begun to revise the "The Legend of the Yingying", but the revision of these versions was due to the limitation of the literary level, or because of the education they received since childhood, their adaptation was still inseparable from the condemnation of their parents who did not go through the orders of their parents. They tried to get to the point of view, but the plot transition was blunt.

Zhao Xing sometimes wondered, reasoning that Liao Xiaoxiao was also an elopement in others, how could she like such an abusive elopement drama, he prevented the troupe from singing "The Legend of the West Chamber", but he didn't expect Qin Guan to approve of his behavior.

At that time, Qin Guan was drunk, and he was drunk and said angrily: "I wrote a book "Laughing and Treading" eight years ago, and I despised Zhang Sheng, who had been in chaos and abandoned from the beginning. How can you be like this, because of her trust, Miss Yingying believed in Zhang Sheng's affection, but she was blamed, and Zhang Sheng's treachery was applauded.

Yuan Zhen this guy is a person who has abandoned the chaos from the beginning, he wrote this legend, it is to reverse black and white, to justify his untrustworthy and unrighteous behavior, the world does not know, and he actually treats the chaos as a treasure, and he hates. ”

Mao Peng was also present at the time, as if he had discovered a bosom friend, he immediately said to Qin Guan: "Bachelor Qin also wrote "Laughing and Treading" to despise Zhang Sheng, and I have also done this. As soon as he said this, the two dog men and women immediately hooked up together, and the more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, and in the end, they decided to join forces. Modify a new version of "The Legend of Cui Yingying".

Zhao Xing heard it next to him at the time, and immediately echoed loudly, in order to show his support for Qin Guan's work, he decided to take over all the work that Qin Guan should do. Since then, Qin Guan and Mao Peng have begun to go all out to revise "The Legend of the West Chamber", and Zhao Xing has a bad taste of tampering with history to guide the two to revise "The Legend of the West Chamber", and every time the two complete a new song, he is always full of a sense of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was just following history by doing so. In real history, it was Qin Guan and Mao Peng who started to use the knife for "The Legend of the West Chamber". Since after them. Countless great talents devoted themselves to it, and they revised it back and forth for a hundred years, and finally revised "The Legend of the West Chamber" into the version seen by modern people.

Qin Guan was an amorous poet, while Mao Peng eventually created the poetry of the Song Dynasty. Affectionate and chic, the two have joined forces, and the revised new script has a modern feeling. That's enough, although the concept of people and land in the Song Dynasty was very open, but under the long-term education of foolish people, they still had some inherent precepts in their minds. These precepts could not be surpassed in just a few months, so Zhao Xing had already approved the revisions of the two after seeing Qin Guan and Mao Pengdi's revisions. All that's left is rehearsal.

The drama revised by Qin Guan and Mao Peng has a total of more than 3,000 lyrics and songs. It is also mixed with sitting and chanting, a total of fifteen excerpts, fifteen scenes, in ancient China, so many scene transformations have been a masterpiece, since the beginning of that year, Zhanqin and Qin they have begun to rehearse. Now listen to Qin Guan's words. It is estimated that the new play has been rehearsed and matured, and it is waiting for the run-in.

Zhao Xing and Qin Guan exchanged whispers and rehearsed the drama. Zhan Qinqin sang softly from time to time on the side, thinking that it would be fun, Mao Peng heard the familiar tune, and couldn't sit still in the pavilion, he carried a hot water bottle, drilled out of the pavilion, pretended to refill the water for the two, and interjected: "I heard that Lord Zhao is looking for someone to draw the set, we can just wait for the adult to set the set, when the adult set is ready, we will start the show." ”

At the end of the Su Causeway, a team of very bright Japanese women with bamboo umbrellas, carrying food, clogs sound crisp to here, they walked on the road, some of the working soldiers pulled their throats and sang Song Dynasty love songs, the shouts of the brothers and sisters were hoarse, and the laughter of those Japanese women was crisp, while responding to the singing, the feet accelerated the speed.

Originally, the Su Causeway was made of rammed earth, with Zhao Xing's participation, this section of the road was changed to a stone road, and the clogs stepped on the stone slabs, the charm of the Song Dynasty made Zhao Xing stop talking, and he looked at this team of widows with an appreciative smile.

Qin Guan did not forget to show the charm to women at any time, this team of young and beautiful, lively and cheerful Japanese women immediately attracted his attention, he turned around, pulled out a golden silk folding fan from behind his waist, opened the fan with a bang, and shook the fan like a diligent little bee, whirring, along with the most handsome posture, smiling to the Japanese women, which really caused a scream from the Japanese women.

He sighed, consciously and voluntarily took a step back, shook his head, and said half-praised: "How can there be a man in the world who steals Qin Guan's limelight in front of women, I admit defeat, Brother Zhao, you are up." ”

Zhao Xing shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and admitted: "I can't rob Qin Guan either." ”

Zhao Xing was wrong, although those women were screaming at Qin Guan, and some even had weak arms and abandoned the bamboo umbrellas they were holding, they did not stop under their feet and walked towards Zhao Xing in a straight line.

Qin Guan was not angry, he shook his fan and said, "You are here to bring lunch to my brother Zhao Xian, do you have a share of me?" ”

The widows agreed, "Of course there is, how could we have left Master Qin behind?" ”

Qin Guan smiled and asked, "What kind of meal did you eat today?" ”

"Yellow finches, taro, sea bass, and a few flavors of sashimi, bachelor come on, we are most satisfied with the yellow finch in today's meal, but unfortunately there are not many of them, bachelors have to grab it."

Zhao Xing listened to today's meal, he frowned, a group of people had already come out of the grass pavilion, Tang Di asked in a loud voice, "Is there a golden sunflower?" Is there a chili pepper? Is there mustard? And soy sauce, don't forget soy sauce. ”

The group of widows spread out a few straw mats, and opened the food box on the embankment, they first took out one and placed it separately in a Vietnamese mahogany lacquer box, and then a widow carried it, knelt in front of Zhao Xing, raised the case and raised eyebrows to put the food box on the top of their heads, waiting for Zhao Xing to eat, while the others gathered around the widow and snatched the rest of the food.

It is also known as preserve, also known as "". In ancient times, it referred to the salting of fish or other foods with salt and rice flour. and the Song Dynasty. It evolves into cured meat. The "Feed Record" contains three parts: preserved food, vegetable preparation and sweets, with a total of more than 80 ways to make dishes. Among them, folk families in Jinhua and Quzhou in the Song Dynasty liked to eat it the most.

Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, fishermen on the seashore used this sour stuffed rice ball as a food to eat at sea, because it was easy to keep fresh. Since the Great Migration of the Three Kingdoms, this method of preparing food has been introduced to Japan and has become a favorite way of eating for the Chinese people. In the Song Dynasty, this food began to spread to the people.

In the beginning, when the word "" was introduced to the people, the Japanese did not know how to pronounce it. When they take a bite of the rice ball, they will exclaim, "It's so sour". This is said in the Song language, and the Song Dynasty "good sour" is annotated with modern Latin pinyin, which is "I" or "ssh". If it is annotated in kanji, it is "sushi". Over time, "" is pronounced as "good sour" in Japanese, and "sushi" in Chinese.

"This kind of dish was not well-known in the Song Dynasty, because there were so many famous dishes in the Song Dynasty that it drowned out the "". Because of this. Every time Zhao Xing eats "", he always can't understand why modern petty bourgeoisie eats Japanese "sour" and Chinese "sushi". I always feel that I have a unique culture. Unique taste......

Well, he admits that they are right in this feeling, this thing does have culture, but it is just an ordinary food cultivated by the Song culture for a thousand years, the Tang culture for more than 1,200 years, and the Han culture for more than 2,000 years...... But do they know that?

Nowadays. Sushi is still eaten in the same Song Dynasty style – that is, the food is prepared without salt. Eat it with soy sauce or seasonings. Zhao Xing pinched up a ball of yellow finches according to the eating method in his memory. Dip a little golden sunflower, take a slice of sashimi dipped in soy sauce and wasabi and wrap this rice ball, put it whole in his mouth, then close his mouth and chew slowly......

The Song Dynasty believed that it was indecent to bite when eating vegetables, and the dishes must be completely put in the mouth, closed and chewed, and could not make chewing sounds, and could not let people see their teeth, which was the table etiquette of the Song Dynasty, and it was also the etiquette needed when eating sushi in modern times. As for grabbing a piece of vegetable balls and biting them piece by piece like gnawing on a sheep's hoof, that is a tradition brought by the Hu people. And the Song people always seem so gentle and elegant.

Yes, it was gentle, and at the beginning of the feast, there was a slightly deliberate atmosphere, and when everyone sat cross-legged on the straw mat, there was only a sound of chewing left in the scene.

There were all officials and squires present, and in this place where cultural people gathered, everyone was deeply afraid that they would lose their manners. You must know that Su Shi's big mouth is famous in Asia, and Qin Guandi's recklessness is not much lighter than Su Shi's, if he accidentally shows his cowardice, these two people will be notorious for a thousand years with a stroke of their pen and write it into the poem.

Several widows moved around the banquet like butterflies wearing flowers, and they poured wine and tea for the officials with court etiquette with the charm of the Han and Tang dynasties. The Song people paid attention to food without saying anything, did not speak when eating, and fought wine when drinking. It's meal time, so everyone just eats. Zhao Xing took a few rice balls and filled his stomach slightly, he was not worried that Su Shi hurriedly walked to the end of the embankment.

Originally, the embankment should have been completed, but Su Shi pursued perfection excessively, and he thought that the willow trees on both sides of the bank were asymmetrical and the stone slabs were uneven, so he asked people to rework. Fortunately, the funds for the repair in Hangzhou are sufficient, as long as there is money to be made, the soldiers don't care, they don't care about how many times they rework, anyway, the wages are calculated on a daily basis.

Hangzhou here is good, it is a work for relief, the work is to give money, to put it in other places, this is their labor, not only to work for free, but also to bring their own tools and dry food, in this case, the soldiers are eager to have work all summer.

Su Shi was at the end of the embankment, he squatted in the field and chatted with an old farmer, the old farmer was working, and he introduced this year's harvest and grain output to Su Shi without a match, and Su Dun squatted at Su Shi's feet, looking at the old farmer's rough feet with big eyes in curiosity.

Taking advantage of the interval between Su Shi's questioning, Su Dun suddenly interjected and asked inarticulately: "Father-in-law, why doesn't he wear socks, I see that everyone, regardless of gender, old and young, there is no barefoot." It is said that the soles of the feet are bare, and it is easy to get cold and diarrhea. ”

Su Shi hadn't answered yet, and the old farmer laughed: "Xiaosheren, that's the habit of a rich family, can I compare with Zhao Laohu's family in Hangzhou?" I'm 60 years old, and I haven't worn socks in the winter for 60 years, and I haven't had a stomach. Tell you, people are rammed goods, how blessed they are, and what kind of life they live, otherwise they will lose their lives, little old man......"

The old man's speech stopped abruptly, and he quickly lowered his head and dug a pit without saying a word.
