Chapter Twenty-Three: Three-year-olds look young, five-year-olds look old
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are on fire, and the names of these two people are spread in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
"Hey, Liang Zhu doesn't know, Lao Tan, let me tell you, don't say you know me when you go out."
"Hey, the relationship between our brothers, tell my brother quickly, what is this Liang Zhu?"
"Speaking of this Liang Zhu, then there is something to say, since the last time the "Datang News" reported on the auction of Hu Merchants in Chang'an, the Liang Zhu drama has somehow been known by everyone from Nanshan Academy, I heard that it is because several students of the academy want to perform this stage play to the people of Chang'an, and I heard that there is also a princess!" ……
"Nonsense!" Li Er scolded with a straight face, and the people in the hall didn't dare to gasp, but there was a woman who couldn't feel the majesty of Emperor Li Er at all, and pulled Li Er's sleeve robe and said: "Father, it's not an indecent thing to perform Liang Zhu, why does Father always oppose it." ”
I saw that the person who was pulling Li Er's sleeved robe was a teenage girl, looking at her appearance, she was delicate and beautiful, who was she if she was not Princess Qinghe.
"Why isn't it indecent? Performing dramas, that's all done by the drama, how can my daughter manage such a cheap business. Li Er said with some relief.
"Father, my daughter is performing Liang Zhu this time to exercise herself, Mr. Li Gang has said, 'It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it is better to travel 10,000 miles than to go through 10,000 things' My daughter is trying to do things now, and my father does not agree? Besides, even Mr. Yan Zhitui said. 'Those who perform this play are dance drama masters'. How is it a cheap job again. ~"Say it. also shook the hem of Li Er's clothes like a coquette.
Looking at his daughter who had tears in his eyes, Li Er was also a big head, and he now regretted it very much, how could he believe Guanyin's words in the first place, and sent his daughters to the women's college, now it's okay, the things have been learned, Mr. Li Gang said. Shut up Mr. Yan Zhitui said, but these old men are the last Confucians of the Tang Dynasty, and their seniority is there, and he can't refute what they said.
"No, no, I can't make my daughter do what she did on stage." Li Er's words are categorical.
As soon as Qinghe heard the ultimatum issued by Li Er, his eyes also flowed, and there were bursts of tears in his eyes.
Li Er finally sighed lightly, waved his hand and said, "I don't allow you to perform, but I will allow you to write the story of Liang Zhu in the "Datang News", at that time." People all over the world can see your articles, do you think it's good? ”
Li Er's promise was like pie in the sky. smashed Qinghe a little dizzy.
"What? Still not satisfied? Li Er said expressionlessly.
"No, no, no, thank you, thank you, thank you, my daughter, I'm going to prepare! ~" Qinghe's voice was mixed with a hint of joy......
In April, Chang'an began to gradually rejuvenate again, the willow branches pulled out new shoots, the fields were also green, the potatoes sprouted, the farmers who saw it laughed all day long, Xujiazhuang is also very lively now, Jin Shengman has been pregnant for six months, and the belly has a very obvious bulge, and the whole Xujiazhuang is now polite to this second young grandmother.
"Shengman, don't mess around, it's been six months, don't be like you used to be a nobody." Looking at Jin Shengman, who was admiring the willows in the courtyard with a big belly, Xu Yang couldn't help but reproach.
Jin Sheng Manu pouted, and Liu Mengli, who was with her beside her, smiled at Xu Yang and said: "My husband doesn't know, the concubine also came from my sister at this time, and I know the boredom of staying in the house, so I took my sister out for a walk." ”
Xu Yang shook his head, which can be regarded as acquiescence......
A few days ago, Xu Xingtang held a lot to see the old man, and Liu Dongliang prepared a lot for him, including wooden swords, nectarines, abacus, and a lot of messy utensils from all walks of life.
In the Tang Dynasty, this child drawing lots was still quite popular, and a saying 'three years old to see the young, five years old to see the old' can show that the ancients had a great interest in the interests and hobbies of people in childhood to determine the way out of life.
On the day Xu Xingtang drew lots, almost all the elders of the Xu family and the Liu family went to see them, and saw many unfamiliar faces that made the six-month-old little celestial thing a little afraid, and there were many things around him, and his every action touched the hearts of a large family.
In front of the nectarine, everyone held their breath, in front of the abacus, everyone held their breath, and in front of the soup spoon, everyone held their breath, for fear that this little ancestor would choose these things and become a cook or something in the future.
However, Xu Xingtang was also angry, looking at this and that, but he didn't start once, until in the end, he actually chose a new "Analects" with a new skin.
This time can give the Liu family joy, the old lady's eyes were already small, so happy, almost turned into a slit, regardless of everyone's opposition, he dragged his eighty-year-old body and hugged Xu Xingtang around the room, and said while turning: "The younger generation is going to be a big talent." ”
Xu Yang is actually not interested in this drawing of lots at all, I am a son of a modern person, no matter how I teach, I can completely blow up these ancient people, and I still need to rely on the Analects to go on a career path?
But although he thought so in his heart, he praised it: "It's really worthy of being the son of my Guigu............
Chang'an recently had big news, the eleventh daughter of the current emperor, Princess Li Jingqinghe, was authorized by His Majesty to serialize the story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" in the "Datang News", and the world shook for a while, the reason was that it was the first time that a woman published an article in the Datang News.
Those sour and rotten old Confucians in the court seemed to have suffered a great shame and wrote an eight-page book of advice, thinking that this was simply an insult to the world's scholars.
But soon their voices gradually faded, although Princess Qinghe is young, and the writing is not as good as those scholars who read poetry and books, but she is extremely attentive and hardworking, in order to write the story of Liang Zhu vividly and lively, almost three times a day to run towards Xujiazhuang, ask the creator of this story Xu Yang various plots, and at the same time learn from Li Gang and Lu Deming how to make the article neat and beautiful.
From the first chapter of the past and present life to the seventh chapter of the current Nishan Academy, the story is becoming more and more fluent, both the pen and the plot, and more and more people in the Tang Dynasty are attracted by the touching plot described in the story, for a while, no one cares that this article is written by a woman who is only fifteen or sixteen years old......
In the east of Chang'an City, Xinghuafang, there is a high-rise mansion, which is the residence of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushitong.
"Nurse, nurse, read the latest story to Zhao'er, hurry~" A childish voice came from the depths of the mansion.
"Zhao'er, why are you so diligent today, I went to the maid early in the morning to get the newspaper." A rather young-looking woman smiled and stroked Wu Zhao'er's head.
"It's not Zhao'er who asks the maids to get it, but Zhao'er who takes it herself~" Wu Zhao'er said with some pride: "Those stupid slaves and maids are greedy and lazy, how can I get up early~" After that, Wu Zhao'er also raised her delicate little face with some pride.
I heard that the little ancestor went to pick up the newspaper by himself, but the nurse was not lightly frightened, and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't go to pick up the newspaper by yourself in the future, if you stumble while walking, the head of the family should not beat us to death, and let the subordinates do this kind of cheap work in the future." ”
Wu Zhao'er nodded as if she didn't understand, saw the newspaper in the nurse's hand again, and said excitedly: "Nurse, hurry up and read the story to Zhao'er~ Zhao'er wants to listen to the story of Sister Zhu Yingtai~"
"Good, good." The nurse couldn't resist this little aunt, so she had to spread out the newspaper, let Wu Zhao'er sit in her arms, and began to read to her word by word.
"Chapter 7, Nishan Academy, it is said that Liang Shanbo is in ...... last time"...... The short story ended quickly, but Wu Zhao'er was still a little intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself, only to see her clenching her little fists excitedly, her big watery eyes flashing with wisdom, and she said loudly: "Zhao'er will also learn from Sister Zhu Yingtai in the future, and go to school in Nanshan Academy disguised as a woman!" ~" (To be continued......)
