"Liancheng girl, Liancheng girl......"

After a long while, Dong Sheng saw that Liancheng was still in a daze, so he couldn't help but call twice.

Liancheng came back to his senses, but he couldn't help but burst into tears, hurriedly bowed to Dong Sheng, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Dong Gongzi for painting Liancheng so beautifully, but Liancheng ...... Really can't accept this painting. ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Sheng's face turned pale.

"Dong Gongzi's wrong love can only be remembered in his heart, if there is an afterlife...... I hope to meet Childe again. ”

After speaking, Lian Cheng left in a hurry with his head down, and before he was discharged from the hospital, his tears couldn't stop spilling down.

"Liancheng!"

Dong Sheng looked at the back of Liancheng leaving and shouted sadly, a mouthful of blood surged into his heart, and he almost fell to the ground.

Not long after, Lu Wei walked back to the courtyard, stepped forward to look at the painting, and then looked at Dong Sheng with a sympathetic expression.

"Why is that?"

Dong Sheng shook his head: "It's all my fault, blame me for being too anxious, blame me for being too anxious......"

"I warned you a long time ago that Liancheng is not the daughter of an ordinary family. Even if she doesn't like the family anymore, she can't fight.

Even if she likes you in her heart, she will stay away from you because of etiquette, so as not to do something against morality.

Once the Wang family knows, whether it is for the Shi family, for her, or for you, it will be an irresistible storm.

Brother Dong, listen to my advice, forget about Liancheng girl......"

"If it's so easy to forget, why did I get to that point in the first place? Wine, bring the wine! ”

"Okay, okay, drink and drink, I hope you forget about it after you get drunk."

Lu Wei let out a long sigh and ran to the house to bring out a jar of wine......

A first snowfall fell intermittently for a few days.

In the house, Yu'er added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and then walked to the door to look at the snowflakes fluttering like catkins outside.

After watching it for a while, he was so excited that he opened his mouth and chanted: "One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five, six, seven, eight or ninety pieces...... Hmmm......"

Then, I couldn't moan.

"Hahaha!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Miss, you see my aunt laughing at people......"

Yu'er walked back with a blushing face, pouting and complaining to the young lady.

Ying Ning also showed a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Nie Xiaoqian held back a smile and said softly: "Gu Lang, it's rare for Yu'er to have such an interest, don't laugh at her." ”

"Madam, I'm obviously praising Yu'er......" Gu Ming looked uplifting: Listen, I'll continue the whole poem......

A piece of two, three or four pieces, five, six, seven, eighty, ninety, thousand, thousands of pieces, countless pieces, flying into the plum blossoms are always missing. ”

"Wow!"

Yu'er's eyes widened in surprise.

I didn't expect her to chant two sentences randomly, and my aunt continued two sentences like this, which seemed to be quite interesting?

Nie Xiaoqian tasted the product carefully, and couldn't help but light up in her eyes.

Yongxue doesn't see snow, only listening to the first three sentences are completely limerick poems, but the last sentence is a typical finishing touch, which raises the artistic conception of the whole poem at once, making the poem full of pictures.

People can't help but think of the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, dissolving in the proud plum blossoms.

"Uncle, uncle, is it okay to teach Yu'er to make poetry?"

Yu'er suddenly felt that she had the potential to be a talented woman, but she lacked a Bole, so she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Ming's arm to be coquettish.

Gu Ming was in a good mood, and said with a hearty smile: "Hahaha, okay, go get wine, and teach you how to make poems while drinking." ”

"Great!"

Yu'er looked excited, and was about to get wine, but unexpectedly, a man's voice suddenly came from outside: "May I ask if Gu Xie Yuan is at home?" ”

"Who?"

Gu Ming got up and walked to the door and asked.

"In Xia Wu San, I was entrusted by Lu Xiucai to come and bring a message, and Lu Xiucai said that Dong Sheng was drunk like mud every day, and he was worried that something would happen to him."

"Dong Sheng?"

"Yes, Dong Sheng is still at Lu Xiucai's house now."

"Got it, thank you brother."

After the arrivals left, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help frowning and said, "What's going on with this Dong Sheng?" It's been seven or eight days. ”

"I don't know, it is estimated that Lai is at Lu Xiucai's house and refuses to leave...... Strange, could this guy be evil? No, I'll have to check it out. ”

"Well, then you go and get back quickly."

"Got it!"

Gu Ming nodded and hurried out.

ran all the way, arrived at Linjiang County in half an hour, and inquired all the way to find Lu Xiucai's home.

"I don't know if Gu Xie Yuan came to the cold house in person, so he won't miss the distance!"

Lu Wei was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, what about Dong Sheng?"

"Alas!"

At the mention of Dong Sheng, Lu Xiucai couldn't help but shake his head bitterly.

"In the past few days, he drank every day, drank every day, drank as soon as he woke up, fell asleep when he was drunk, drank again when he woke up, and didn't eat a single bite of food.

I was really worried that something would happen to him, so I had no choice but to ask someone to come and inform him. ”

Gu Ming frowned and asked, "Why is he doing this?" ”

"For a woman!"

Woman?

Gu Ming was speechless.

It seems that this guy is sick again, and he is not lightly ill.

The first time for an Oiran, the second time I met a ghost, and the third time I painted a skin...... is really a typical scholar, which makes people envious.

Who did you meet this time?

"This woman's name is Liancheng ......"

Gu Ming: (@y@) (@y@) ...... (Daze)

"What do you say this woman's name is? Citylink? A continuous company, a city of cities? ”

Lu Wei couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that Gu Xie Yuan knows the girl from Liancheng?" ”

"It's not that I know each other, I don't think I've heard anyone mention it."

Well, I heard Pu Songling mention it himself.

Lian Cheng is one of the well-known strange women in Liaozhai, of course Gu Ming has heard of it.

It's just that Liancheng in the original book is not a Jiangnan clan, could it be that it is just a duplicate name?

"Oh, I see...... Liancheng girl is a well-known lady in Linjiang County, Shi Xiaolian's pearl, which can be described as both talented.

A few days ago, she came to Xiaosheng to paint, and Brother Dong was also there, so Xiaosheng recommended Brother Dong to paint for her.

I didn't expect Brother Dong to fall in love with the Liancheng girl at first sight...... The problem is that the Liancheng girl is already married, and her husband's family is the young master Wang Huacheng, a well-known salt merchant in this county......"

As Lu Wei spoke, Gu Ming's eyes kept changing.

In this way, it can be determined that it is Liancheng. The only difference is that the location has changed, and Qiao Sheng has become Dong Sheng.

It's really a chatting world, and strange things are endless.

"Brother Lu, do you mean that the girl from Liancheng politely rejected Dong Sheng, so he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows?"

Lu Wei sighed: "Exactly, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be ...... Lives are in danger. ”

"It's okay, please ask Brother Lu to find a carriage, and I'll get him back."

"Well, there's Lao Gu Xie Yuan."

Finally got rid of a hot potato, Lu Wei naturally couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly went out to find the carriage.

It's a big trouble for anyone to be involved in this matter, in case Dong Sheng really hangs up, wouldn't he have to put up a life lawsuit?

Soon after, the carriage came to the door.

At this time, Dong Sheng was still dizzy and wandering out of the world.

Gu Ming didn't bother to wake him up, and carried him into the carriage like a chicken, and then arched his hand at Lu Wei: "It's really troublesome Brother Lu." ”

"Gu Xie Yuan is polite, in fact, if Brother Dong is sober, it doesn't matter if he stays for a year and a half, the main thing is that he is worried that something will happen to him."

"Well, understand, understand, farewell!"

It was a bumpy ride, and it was already afternoon when I returned to the county seat.

"Huh? Wen Xing, you are ......"

Watching Gu Ming take Dong Sheng off the carriage, He Yongliang greeted him with a look of surprise.

"This guy is hopeless."

He Yongliang was taken aback: "No help? ”

"It's hopeless here." Gu Ming pointed to his head.

He Yongliang: "......"

"You go and settle the wagon."

"Okay."

Gu Ming then carried Dong Sheng to the backyard and threw it directly to the ground.

"Oh my God, how did Brother Dong become like this?"

Ning Caichen walked over and couldn't help but cover his nose.

This kid drinks every day, and he doesn't take a bath, and his whole body is filled with a smell of alcohol and sourness.

Along the way, Gu Ming had enough.

"Wen Xing, this won't freeze him, will it?"

He Yongliang asked with some concern.

"It's okay, let him sober up first. Go, get another basin of cold water. ”

He Yongliang: "......"

"Wow~"

Not long after, Gu Ming took the cold water brought by Yahuan and splashed it on his head.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

At this moment, Dong Sheng woke up suddenly, sat up and kept coughing.

"Alright, you guys go boil some hot water......

"What's going on? How am I here? ”

Dong Sheng looked at everyone with a stupid face, then looked around and muttered.

He Yongliang immediately said with a look of contempt: "You still have the face to ask, look at what kind of virtue you have drunk, people are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts." ”

"What about wine? What about wine? ”

Dong Sheng lowered his head again and began to look for wine.

"You go take a shower first, and you'll have enough to drink later."

"Oh!"

As soon as he heard that there was wine to drink, Dong Sheng immediately responded.

……

"What about wine? What about the good wine? ”

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Dong Sheng began to shout for wine again.

"The wine is here."

As soon as Gu Ming raised his hand, a jar of wine appeared out of thin air.

"Great!"

Dong Sheng snatched it and raised his head to drink......

"Ahem, where is this wine? It's clearly water. ”

Gu Ming couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, it turns out that you haven't completely drunk stupid yet, knowing that this is water." ”

Dong Sheng looked embarrassed, playing like a child: "I want to drink, give me wine...... Leping, give me wine. ”

"Get out of the way! Drink again and drink you to death. ”

He Yongliang drank angrily.

"Drink to death, drink to death!"

"Dong Sheng, don't mess around!" Gu Ming said with a straight face: "As the so-called drawing a knife to cut off the water, the water is more flowing, and raising a glass to eliminate sorrow is even more sorrowful."

What is the point of deliberately violating your body like this? Even if you drink it to death, do you think you can get rid of it? ”

"It's just that I can't become a lonely ghost!" Ning Caichen added fuel to the fire.

"What's so bad about being a ghost? On the contrary, it is more relaxed. Dong Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly.

Seeing that this guy looked terminally ill, Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh and shouted, "Bring a pen and paper." ”

"Come now!"

He Yongliang was extremely excited, and hurriedly ran to get the four treasures of the study.

Now, Gu Ming rarely writes poems with his own inscriptions, after all, his name is getting louder and louder day by day, and he can't still write a few paintings for sale every day like before, which is purely self-defeating.

When it was ready, Gu Ming grabbed the pen, and Long Feifeng Wu wrote a poem:

"The flowers fade and the red and green apricots are small, and when the swallows fly, the green water surrounds them. The willows on the branches blow less, and there is no grass at the end of the world.

The swing in the wall, the road outside the wall, the pedestrians outside the wall, and the beautiful woman in the wall laughs. The laughter gradually faded into silence, but the amorous was ruthlessly annoyed. ”

"Okay, great!"

He Yongliang couldn't help but be amazed.

Ning Caichen couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's a good sentence, where there is no grass at the end of the world." Brother Dong, Gu Gongzi is clearly persuading him with poetry, there is no grass at the end of the world, why do you give up on yourself for a woman? ”

"Where there is no grass at the end of the world, where there is no grass at the end of the world......"

Dong Sheng muttered a few times, then rushed over like a whirlwind, and said with a look of hope: "Wen Xing, this painting was given to me?" ”

Gu Ming nodded: "That's right, I hope you can cheer up in the future...... I said you can't find a normal woman? How many times do you say this is? ”

As a result, Dong Sheng was not convinced, and said with a stiff neck: "Why is Liancheng abnormal?" She's the daughter of a serious family, not a demon. ”

"I know she's not, but...... That's it, anyway, you're doing it yourself! ”

After speaking, Gu Ming turned around and left.

He has done everything that should be said and persuaded, and it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, as for the result...... It's all providential.

……

"Pull out the mountains and cover the world, and the times are not good. What can I do if I don't die, what can I do? ”

"I love the West Lake in March, the slanting wind and drizzle send the cruise ship. The 10th generation repaired to cross the same boat, and the 100th generation repaired to sleep together......"

Under the impetus of Ma Yun, tracks such as Farewell My Concubine and The Legend of the White Snake began to appear in the Jiangnan area, and their popularity became more and more popular day by day.

That's a great thing.

Compared with books, storytelling and opera are undoubtedly faster and more widely disseminated, after all, it does not require the people to know words, as long as the ears are not deaf and the eyes are not dazzled.

On the surface, Gu Ming can't directly profit from it.

However, once storytelling and opera become popular, it will correspondingly drive the sales of the book and his popularity.

Including the capital, Yan Changqing's troupe also newly choreographed the Legend of the White Snake and Farewell My Concubine.

Previously, Yan Changqing's troupe performed more than a dozen consecutive performances in the palace, and not only won the praise and rewards of the harem, but even the emperor came to watch and praised him.

After that, the Empress Dowager opened Chrysostom, let Yan Changqing's troupe stay in the capital, and gave a large mansion to be converted into a theater.

For Yan Changqing, this is undoubtedly a great joy in one step.

When a foreign troupe arrives in the capital, it is usually squeezed out by the local troupe in the capital, after all, peers are enemies, and one more troupe means one more person who grabs a job.

However, no one dared to exclude Yan Changqing's troupe.

Unless you're impatient.

Of course, Yan Changqing was not pampered and arrogant, and personally visited the major opera troupes in Beijing one by one, and humbly discussed and communicated with some famous actors in Beijing, striving to reach a higher level.

At present, Du Shi Niang, The Legend of the West Chamber, Farewell My Concubine, and The Legend of the White Snake have become the four most popular tracks in the capital.

Not only Yan Changqing's troupe is acting, but other troupes are also following suit, unwilling to be left behind.

At the same time, a sentence from the West Chamber, "Sigh that real men and women in the world are difficult to be confidants, and I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become dependents" can be said to have spread all over the country, causing countless crazy men and women to go crazy.

However, it is the so-called tree that attracts the wind.

Gu Ming's rise was too fast, which had already aroused the jealousy of many people.

In particular, some old scholars began to criticize the books written by Gu Ming, saying that as a dignified Xie Yuan, he deviated from the norm and only knew how to write some folk books that were not in the stream.

The sentence break is not according to common sense, and some inexplicable symbols are used ingeniously.

What's more, he sharply criticized "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Dream of Red Mansions", defining them as vulgar.

What is said that the book contains a large number of unsightly words and poems, which insults the reader's Sven, and will bring a bad atmosphere to the literary world and teach bad children......

At the same time, he also called on people all over the world to boycott it.

It's a pity that the happier these people are, the better the sales of the book.

The rumors naturally reached Gu Ming's ears, and he had already been mentally prepared enough to ignore it at all.

Because this is a stage that must be passed.

His rise and wonderful life have just begun......
