Hearing this song, Zhou Bofu stopped. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he stood there quietly listening, and gently beat the beat with his hands. At the end of the song, after a long while, Zhou Bofu sighed: "It really deserves to be the first in Nanqu, and it is really lingering...... Contemptible, lamentable! ”

"This song is sung very well, why is it contemptible?" Zheng Sen asked puzzled.

"Oh, I'm not saying that the song is sad and lamentable, but that the person who wrote it is despicable and lamentable. Little friend, do you know who wrote this song? Zhou Bofu asked.

"I don't know." Zheng Sen shook his head and said, to be honest, things like opera, when he was in his last life, Zheng Sen couldn't appreciate it. In this life, it's the same, Zheng Sen really doesn't like such elegant things as Kunqu Opera. So he doesn't care much about who wrote what tunes.

"This song was written by Ruan Dacheng." Zhou Bofu sighed again, "This is Ruan Dacheng's "Swallow Note". ”

Saying this, Zheng Sen understood what was going on. This Ruan Dacheng was originally a member of the Donglin Party, and he was a disciple of Gao Panlong, the leader of the Donglin Party, and a member of the Donglin Party. Later, he made a contribution to the "struggle" of overthrowing the non-Donglin Pavilion old Shi Jikai and others introduced by Fang Congzhe, so he was ranked among the backbone of Donglin, and was nicknamed "Unobstructed" in "Donglin Point Generals". But later, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, it was originally agreed that Ruan Dacheng's officials would be given a position in the matter to someone else (Wei Dazhong), and several leaders of the Donglin Party only planned to give Ruan Dacheng a ministry to do in the matter. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials has the highest status, and the Ministry of Industry has the lowest status. Ruan Dacheng was naturally dissatisfied, so he took the path of Wei Zhongxian (Wei Zhongxian hadn't come out too much at that time, and the opposition between the eunuchs and Donglin naturally didn't exist) and became a ministry.

However, disobeying the party's leadership and going through other paths on your own is a sign of disloyalty. So Ruan Dacheng immediately changed from a comrade of the Donglin Party to a traitor to the party. And the traitor, naturally, everyone will be punished. As a result, Ruan Dacheng had only been in the position of the ministry for less than a month, and he had to abandon his official position and return to his hometown. But since then, his body has been branded as a eunuch.

Ruan Dacheng returned home in such a gloomy manner, and it was probably impossible to say that he had no resentment against Donglin in his heart, so when Wei Zhongxian came to power, he summoned him back to Beijing to serve as Taichang Shaoqing, and he went immediately. Although during his tenure, he did not do anything to directly persecute the Donglin Party. But his presence in the court itself is calling on others to betray Donglin. At any time, a traitor is more hateful than an enemy, so the Donglin Party naturally hates him to the core.

When Wei Zhongxian was finished, and the Donglin Party made a comeback, this traitor was naturally thrown into the reverse case, although the case was not too serious, (because Ruan Dacheng did not do anything at the time) but also ended up with a "never use" result.

Ruan Dacheng was naturally unwilling to do this, and in recent years, he has constantly shown favor to Donglin and wanted to re-enter Donglin, but he has been rejected by Donglin. Ruan Dacheng is a corrupt official and has no integrity, (Later, I called from the Qing Dynasty, and this product surrendered to my Daqing, and the inferiority of his character can be seen.) But the literary talent is really outstanding. In later generations, Mr. Chen Yinke once talked about Ruan Dacheng in his posthumous work "Liu Ru is Farewell Biography": "Yuanhai's character is a definite comment in history, and I don't need to talk about it." In the past, I read the Yonghuaitang collection, and I was very happy, thinking that it could be combined with Yan Weizhong's Zhushan and Wang Xiuwei's Yueguan, both of which were the best poets of the Ming generation. Mr. Zhang Taiyan also commented: "Dacheng's five-character ancient poems are based on Wang Meng's interest and the refinement of the guests." The poems are not enough, and the seven words are secondary. However, there are few poets in the Ming Dynasty, such as Dacheng. Pan Yue and Song Zhiwen are not behind Dacheng, and their poems still exist. A gentleman does not talk nonsense." There is even Mr. Hu Xianqiang even called Dacheng "the only poet of the Ming generation".

Ruan Dacheng's talent in drama was not a second person at that time. Later, Zhang Dai, who has always been close to the Donglin Party, said of Ruan Dacheng's drama in his "Dream Memories of Tao'an": "The book is excellent, the feet are excellent, the output is excellent, the sentences are excellent, and the words are excellent." "It's really praiseworthy.

Ruan Dacheng knew that Donglin and the group of talented people in the Fushe had close contacts with those popular courtesans in the old hall of Zhushi. This is natural, if there is no fragrant red sleeves, what is the meaning of this sage book to read? And when I was associated with the courtesans, I naturally had to sing songs, and I would take poetry and painting with me. What's more, there's a lot of money to spend. Therefore, Ruan Dacheng worked hard to write about these talented and beautiful women, and those singers and piano masters in the old hall, in order to reconnect with the people of Donglin.

Ruan Dacheng had a lot of money in his hands, and as soon as he heard that anyone in Donglin or the Fushe was short of money, he hurried to catch up and give money to others, lest they don't want it. I just hope that people can let him return to Donglin, so that he can have the opportunity to be an official again.

However, Ruan Dacheng's methods have received very limited results, for example, Ruan Dacheng's scripts and tunes are really well written, so the gentlemen of Donglin and the talents of the Fushe often listen to and sing Ruan Dacheng's tunes when they sing harmony with those who are worried about the country and the people. For example, one of the four sons, Mao Bijiang, likes to let people sing Ruan Dacheng's swallow notes, and every time people sing it, he has to add such a comment: "It's really wonderful, unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately, how can such a song be written by Ruan Dacheng's old dog?" Why didn't this old dog die? What a bad song! ”

As for sending money, there are two common results, the first is represented by sending money to Hou Fangyu. At that time, Hou Fangyu wanted to comb the famous prostitute Li Xiangjun, but after all, Li Xiangjun was a beautiful woman who had been trained by her mother for many years, and this was a business that required real money investment. You Hou Fangyu has taken a fancy to others, and they have agreed to you. However, you have to take out the money from your pocket, not to mention a financial gift to your mother, but also to feast in the most famous restaurant in Nanjing, to advertise the world, the famous flower has a master! Helplessly, the son of Hou Fangyu at that time was shy in his pocket, and he really didn't have much money to handle this big event. Ruan Dacheng hurriedly sent the money over, just begging Hou Fangyu to say two good words to himself in the future, at least, when everyone drinks and chats in the future, it will be good to scold Ruan Dacheng as a seasoning for drinking. Hou Fangyu also took the silver and combed Li Xiangjun, and then, a few days later, there was a story that Li Xiangjun was ashamed of taking Ruan Dacheng's money and smashed everything he bought with those money. Of course, Hou Gongzi naturally repented and decided never to say good things to Ruan Dacheng again. As for Ruan Dacheng's money, well, this, the money for this kind of bad thing will be smashed and smashed, so do you want Hou Gongzi to pay it back?

As for the second type, it has something to do with Zheng Sen's things at the moment. In the original history, when Zhang Pu reinstated his teacher Zhou Yanru, he spent as much as 200,000 taels of silver to come to the door. Zhang Pu didn't have so much money, and some of it (it was said to be about 15,000 taels) was given by Ruan Dacheng. After this thing was done, Ruan Dacheng naturally felt that he had also contributed money for the resumption of the society, and Donglin had made meritorious contributions, so he asked Zhang Pu: Do you think you want to give me an official? The result? Zhang Pu said, you are a eunuch, and you will think about it when you become an official. But I, Zhang Pu, am a kind person, for the sake of you making so much money, I allow you to recommend someone to be an official, it's interesting enough, right? To be a man, to be content, do you know? So Ruan Dacheng recommended the later famous "traitor" Ma Shiying to be an official. More than 10,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a favor for buying Ma Shiying.

Now that Zheng Sen has arrived in Nanjing at this time, he is afraid that it will not be Ruan Dacheng's turn to spend money on Zhou Yanru's reinstatement. It's just more than 10,000 pieces of silver, which is nothing to the Zheng family. And if he can get "clean" money, Zheng Sen estimates that Zhang Pu will no longer be willing to ask for Ruan Dacheng's money, right?

At this time, Zhou Bofu and Zheng Sen had already arrived at the bottom of the eyebrow building, Zhou Bofu went over and knocked on the door first, the door opened a crack, and a handsome little girl who was about eleven or twelve years old showed half of her face.

"Who are you? Do you have an invitation? The maid asked.

"This sister, Chen Zhanghou and Zhang Zongzi are here?" Zhou Bofu said with a smile on his face, "If you are here, please trouble my sister to report it, and say that Nan'an Zheng Sen came to visit Mr. Zhang Hou." ”

The maid glanced up and down at Zhou Bofu and the others a few times, and then replied, "Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang are both upstairs, you can wait a minute." With that, he closed the door.

Zhou Bofu and Zheng Sen were waiting outside. Zheng Sen said: "I don't want this prostitute in Nanjing to have such pomp and circumstance, and he didn't even let us in." ”

"Huh." Zhou Bofu smiled and said: "Little friend, you must know that in this world, no matter what you do, as long as you can be the top in the industry, you can naturally have some pomp." This Gu Hengbo Nanqu is the first, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs are all excellent. If you can do this, you will naturally be able to have a little temper and pomp. And all men in the world are, the more they have a shelf, the more ...... this man is"

Before Zhou Bofu's words were finished, the door of the Meilou suddenly opened, Chen Hongshou strode out, looked at Zheng Sen, first looked carefully, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I have grown so much taller, it seems to be a little taller than me!" I thought it would be a few days before you came, and I didn't want to come so quickly. ”

At this time, another man and a woman who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old walked down. The woman carefully looked Zheng Sen up and down, then turned her head and said to Chen Hongshou in a voice like a silver bell: "Brother Zhanghou, this little brother is your Nezha, right?" ”
