Fan Zhigao and Guan Qing are naturally not interested in lecturing or anything, but as Fan Jin's follower, it is natural that the two of them will follow him wherever he goes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Fan Jin took into account the difference in the level of appreciation between the two, and took two pieces of silver and said to them: "Let's go and have fun by yourself, remember not to cause trouble, this is not Guangdong, we have no friends here, and it will be very troublesome if something happens." If you really can't do it, just go back to the boat to sleep and eat, don't mess around, you know? ”

Guan Qingdao said: "The boss lady has an order, to protect the safety of the son, and we will go wherever the son goes." Besides, this place is unfamiliar, and Gongzi is not safe to go to the street alone. ”

Fan Zhigao took the silver and pulled Guan Qing with his hand: "Uncle Nine said don't follow, you don't want to follow, haven't you heard of the phrase: if you can't do things, you can't do anything, and you can't work to death?" Brother Guan, your kung fu is good enough, but being a man requires not only fast hands and feet, but also faster brains. Let's go buy some oranges to eat, when we are in Guangdong, we can't buy these Changsha oranges if we want to. Uncle Nine rest assured, we won't cause trouble, eat oranges and go back to sleep in the cabin. ”

After taking a few steps, Fan Zhigao lowered his voice and said, "Brother Guan, why are you so confused?" Uncle Nine went to the street alone, he must have gone to Changsha City to find Qinglou, how can this kind of place take you there? Don't get annoyed, go, buy oranges. ”

In Fan Jin's heart, he actually didn't have the idea of finding Qinglou. Although the ticket is far away and the gambling is near, but in Changsha can not stay for a total of two and a half days, the kind of Oiran head level woman, at most, is to drink a few glasses of wine, enjoy two songs and dances, and set off before reaching the familiarity of the guests who enter the curtain.

Besides, most of the Oiran's age was too young, and he really didn't have any interest. The kind of second- and third-tier women who are out of gas are of the right age, and they can stay overnight for the first time, but their quality is not easy to say. Not every woman has the same appearance and affection as Begonia, so he simply doesn't go on a trial adventure, his main idea is to find some places of interest to play.

He also came to Changsha in the previous life, but after the construction of Changsha in that life, it was already a modern city with many high-rise buildings, which was completely different from the ancient city wall in front of him. Gently caressing those city bricks, recalling the city's past, as a traffic artery, the ancient soldiers must fight for land, Changsha has never lacked stories, nor lack of fighting. As a Peking Opera actor, the most impressive battle is the famous Guan Huang knife on the stage.

Thinking back to that gambling fight, the world-famous veteran, Fan Jin couldn't help but hum softly:

"Wei Yan said the wrong thing, and he strengthened others to destroy self-improvement......"

When he sang this time to send troops to fight, he was afraid that Guan Yunchang of the Han Dynasty would end his sentence, and someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Gongzi stays, I don't know where this song comes from, I have never heard of it, and please ask me." ”

Fan Jin has never left his hobby of Peking Opera, whether in Guangdong or on the boat, he always has to hum a few words where he is interested. At present, the opera of the Ming Dynasty is still the world of southern opera, and it was not until the Qianlong period that Peking Opera began to take shape, and Peking Opera flourished until the end of the Qing Dynasty. At present, Peking Opera has no future for development, and it is not suitable for the local area, and he has not thought about promoting it, and when singing, he will generally deliberately keep his voice low and not noisy.

Looking at the ancient city wall, I was a little distracted, and the voice of singing was louder, but it was inappropriate to surprise people in such a prosperous place. Fan Jin hurriedly turned around and was about to apologize, but when he saw the person behind him clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Behind him stood several scholars, all of whom were not too old, probably between their twenties and thirties, with different appearances and striking similarities in their costumes. The head is tied with red silk, decorated with honeysuckle, the face is covered with incense powder, the lips are coated with red cream, and the body is either red or purple, all of which are bright women's clothes. Only a closer look can discern the identity of the boy: this is the case...... It's weird.

Fan Jinsuan, who is a person in two lives, is well-informed, and he has seen a lot of pseudo-mothers and the like, and when it comes to fashion and boldness, he can call himself the first when he looks at Daming. But the question is, after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the era in which he lived in his previous life. Moreover, even according to the experience of previous lives, one or two pseudo-mothers are very common, and five or six pseudo-mothers travel collectively, which is a bit unbelievable.

Offshore Guangzhou, the atmosphere is far more civilized than that of the mainland, and it is not uncommon for scholars to marry brothers. But even in Guangzhou, I have never seen such a scene, Rao is an old driver like Fan Jin, and at this moment he also has a feeling of overturning.

In fact, this is also Fan Jin's lack of understanding in this area, although Xu Yin is well-informed, he will not give him this knowledge in general. In the early years of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty did have strict restrictions on dress, and the slightest violation could lead to death. But by the Wanli period, this restriction had long been a formality, especially in the south, where the literary style was prosperous and the influence of the imperial court was limited, and this clothing ban was basically a waste of paper.

Suzhou folk marriage, all use Hanlin honor guard; The maid wears a flying fish, sits on a python, and does not avoid pedestrians when traveling on her shoulder; Ordinary women are also fashionable to be popular, and the management system of women has long been taken seriously. And men wear women's clothes and apply fat powder, which is also part of this popularity, and there is even a special term to describe this behavior: serving demons.

Of course, this kind of women's clothing is not the power that everyone has, ordinary women's clothing is not beaten to death by passers-by, it may be cleaned up by the officials, and it is the special group of scholars who really dare to swagger through the market. At that time, there were reclusive officials who went into the city to witness the phenomenon of women's clothing in the city and made a poem: I went to the city yesterday and returned with tears in my eyes. Those who are dressed in women's clothes are all scholars.

In this team of scholars, the only scholar who was not wearing women's clothes took a few steps forward at this time, saluted Fan and said: "This brother is invited, I just listened to Brother Tai's humming repertoire with a strange rhythm, the younger brother is not talented, and he is also good at music and rhythm, but I don't know where Brother Tai is singing, and I hope to tell you one or two." ”

Fan Jin coughed and replied: "Brother Tai doesn't have to be polite, what the younger brother is humming is actually a tune created by the younger brother himself." This tone is not elegant, it is purely self-entertainment, and it is really rude to disturb the brothers and noble friends. ”

"Brother Tai is polite, this song is very good, Brother Tai can create such a track by himself, he must be a like-minded person. And the outfit of the brother is also a scholar, but he wants to enter Beijing to catch the exam? ”

"Exactly."

The scholar was even more happy, and pulled Fan Jin and said: "This is a coincidence, we are all going to Beijing to catch the exam, it is better to meet by chance, please brother Tai to travel to Changsha with me, it can be regarded as a fate for you and me." The younger brother Tang Xianzu did not ask his brother for his surname? ”

Tang Xianzu?

Fan Jin was inexplicably shocked when he heard this name, and subconsciously took a half step back and looked at the handsome young man in front of him again, he was Tang Xianzu?

In fact, even if Zhang Juzheng was standing in front of Fan Jin right now, he didn't have such a big reaction. As far as he is concerned, Zhang Ju is a historical celebrity, a capable minister, and nothing else has anything to do with him. No matter how good he is or how important he is to Daming, Fan Jin is actually not interested or caring, but Tang Xianzu is very different.

Although he is a Peking Opera actor, there is an inseparable relationship between Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera.

Fan Jin is not clear about this person's contribution to politics and officials in history, but his contribution to Kunqu Opera is too prominent, and the peerless masterpiece of the Peony Pavilion is popular, and more importantly, he has copied the Peony Pavilion in advance in this life......

In the past year or so, in addition to engaging in swordsman novels such as chivalrous golden darts, Fan Jin has written two more record books, one of which is the Peony Pavilion, and the other is to replace the fifteen guan version of Guo Zhong with Hai Rui. Fan Jin has the impression that in history, Tang Xianzu wrote the Peony Pavilion in his later years, and now he is not much older than himself, and it should not be dangerous to write the Peony Pavilion now. However, after all, when he met the original author, the so-called thief was weak-hearted, Fan Jin was inevitably a little nervous.

He did not sign his real name on the record book, but used the pen name of the 13th Taibao of the South China Sea. But in these years, the literati circle is not large, if you are really interested in these books or singing books, ask with your heart, it is not difficult to know that Fan Jin is the author.

According to his thoughts, the Peony Pavilion should have spread in the Liangguang and Fujian areas, and it is very likely that it has not yet flowed into other provinces. The most terrifying thing is that if Tang Xianzu now also has this inspiration to start writing about the Peony Pavilion, it would be really strange if the two works collided. Based on this idea, he was also a little nervous when answering, and his tone was a little hesitant.

But Tang Xianzu was very enthusiastic, and asked twice in a row, and Fan Jin had no choice but to reply: "Fan Jin and Fan retreat in Xiananhai." ”

"South China Sea...... Fan Jin? Tang Xianzu's reaction was not much different from Fan Jin, and he also looked at him carefully, and asked, "Brother Tai, is Fan Jin who wrote the Peony Pavilion?" ”

This question made Fan Jin instantly feel a huge pain in a certain part, and it was indeed a bit strange to be asked by the original author if he was the author's taste, both a little ashamed and somewhat dark. What's more, he actually read the book Peony Pavilion? Fan Jin nodded and said:

"No, it's the little brother. The Peony Pavilion has spread to Brother Tang's hometown? is a joke for a while, and it is really laughing if it is not elegant. ”

"Brother Fan, why should you be too humble, your Peony Pavilion is simply a masterpiece, Jiang Ning Fengming has four records, all of which are top-grade in the play. But as soon as the Peony Pavilion came out, the four marks were colorless. The younger brother originally wanted to write a story about everyone's ladies and scholars, but he hadn't figured out how to write for a while, and after seeing the Peony Pavilion, this thought was no longer there. Because of what the little brother thinks in his heart, and what he should think about but does not think about, he writes all about the Peony Pavilion, with this pearl and jade in front, why should the little brother be ugly? When I first read the record book, I had the heart to make friends with Brother Fan, but unfortunately Guan Shan was blocked and didn't have a chance to meet, and I didn't want to open my eyes today, so I let you and I meet here. Come, Brother Fan must be invited, I will introduce a few friends to Brother Fan. ”

At this time, the women's scholar had already come over, seeing that Tang Xianzu and Fan Jin were chatting so warmly, only when the two had been friends for many years, it was not until Tang Xianzu introduced that the two had a first meeting, but they had been friends for a long time. When everyone got closer, Fan Jin also looked at these pseudo-female scholars carefully, and secretly said in his heart: They really have potential in this area.

Fan Jin does not despise men wearing women's clothes, only opposes blind women's clothing, and unfortunately, most of the women's clothing he sees is mainly blind, but it is rare to see such a pleasing sight. These scribes are all very good-looking, and wearing women's clothes is actually more chic and elegant than flattering, and it does not make people feel too disobedient.

Three of them, in particular, appear to be three brothers, and their appearance is almost the same. The three of them are all boys and girls, with pink faces and peach cheeks, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, Yao nose and sandalwood mouth, dressed in women's clothes, like a peerless beauty of the country's beauty and fragrance, looking back and smiling is enough to turn everyone upside down.

The three of them are generally in crimson dresses, with long skirts mopping the floor, and the materials used for the clothes are Shanggong raw silk made by Jiangning, the breeze blows, and the clothes are in the wind, as if a fairy has descended into the world, so that Fan Jin can't help but be stunned again. I had to remind myself repeatedly in my heart: This is a pseudo-girl, this is a big and beautiful girl, don't think about it......

Tang Xianzu had already said Fan Jin's name at this time, and these scholars were obviously very interested in Fan Jin, and one of the three demonic and beautiful scholars had already asked: "Isn't it Fan Gongzi of the South China Sea who is in Guangdong to help Ling Zhijun do military affairs and implement the new law?" ”

"Isn't it Xiao Ke, who didn't ask for your surname?"

Tang Xianzu said: "This is Brother Zhang......"

Before the words fell, the man had already spoken first: "In Xiahu Guangzhang Erlang, these two are my siblings. I have admired the name of Fan Gongzi for a long time, and I don't want to see you here today, this is really fate, I don't know if Brother Fan is willing to appreciate the light and travel to Changsha with my generation? ”

Yu Huguang Zhang Er Fan Jin is not clear, but looking at his clothes, he thinks that he is either rich or expensive. Tang Xianzu does not wear women's clothes in this group of people, not because of his high status, but purely because his temperament is relatively old-fashioned.

If you look at your own wishes, you may not be willing to run around with these women's scholars, but you have to go along, which shows that the identity of these scholars is quite unusual. Moreover, Zhang Erlang opened his mouth to ask not about his own literature, but about military and political affairs, if it is not bad as expected, most of this person is from the family of eunuchs, and his family has a great background. This kind of second-ancestor resemblance to the person, the most important thing is face, if you refuse his invitation, you will unconsciously offend the individual.

In addition to gaining fame, another important benefit of the imperial examination is to expand one's own network, the wider the network, the more beneficial it will be for future development. After all, at present, Daming is still a personal society, how much a person can achieve, in addition to his own ability, the relationship is also an indispensable and important link.

Fan Jin didn't want to offend these people, so he had to nod, and the scholar named Zhang Erlang was also very satisfied with Fan Jin's face, and the group introduced each other and walked towards the city gate.

Tang Xianzu and Fan Jin talked a lot about opera, especially wanted to ask how the Peking Opera sung by Fan Jin was created, and what are the characteristics of sound and rhyme. Several scholars said with a smile: "Brother Tang is really a drama idiot, and he can't stop when he talks about play." ”

"It's not surprising that Mr. Jiangning Wang is the leader of the literary world, and he is still a drama idiot. Just now that I returned to Jiangning, there was Brother Fan in us, and we happened to go to Wang's house to fight the autumn breeze. Zhang Erlang's personality was more cheerful, or somewhat wild, talking and laughing while walking towards the city, and between conversations, Fan Jin seemed to hear a very beautiful voice in the team snorting with almost inaudible faint movements, "The beautiful scenery of a good day is ...... the sky."
