Chapter 52: Script
Ling Zifeng stayed awake for three days and three nights to drive out the script. After completion, I gave Ah Xing a look.
Ah Xing took the thick stack of manuscripts, sat under the peach blossom tree in Ling Zifeng's courtyard and read it carefully.
Since Rong Zheng learned about this, every time Ah Xing came over, he would follow them and help them bring tea and water. At this time, seeing that Ah Xing took the manuscript and read it carefully without blinking, she was infinitely amazed and whispered to the master: "Master, is she literate?" β
There are not many literate women in this world, and only those young ladies from big families have the opportunity to read, and civilians like A Xing are rarely literate, especially girls, which is basically impossible. Like him, he was able to read because he was taught by a master.
Ling Zifeng was already shocked when he saw her last time she could understand the contents of the contract, but there were too many shocking things about this little girl, and literacy was not a big deal in comparison. Presumably she had some chance to be literate.
Ling Zifeng's biggest advantage is that he can control his curiosity, he saw that Ah Xing tried her best to hide her light, and he knew that she had a lot of things that she didn't want others to know, so for these questions, although she was curious, she never asked or digged.
Ah Xing didn't know the shock that her literacy brought to the master and apprentice, and all her thoughts were on the script written by Ling Zifeng.
The story is a folk legend about Liu Xiaobao's hero. Legend has it that Liu Xiaobao is burly, powerful as an ox, and upright and kind. He often helps the weak who are bullied, and is very admired by everyone. A bully in their county, relying on his uncle being the county magistrate, is rampant and domineering in the county, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil! Once, the bully fell in love with a beautiful woman and wanted to rob her to be his concubine, but the woman's family naturally refused, and the bully beat the woman's father and younger brother to death, and the woman's mother crashed to death on the wall when she saw this scene. At this time, Liu Xiaobao happened to pass by, seeing this scene, he was furious, stepped forward and waved his iron fist to beat the bully's servants away, and gave the bully a few punches, who knew that the bully's body was weak, and Liu Xiaobao's strength was great, and the bully was beaten to death in these few blows! The bully's family sued Liu Xiaobao to the county government, and the county magistrate naturally wanted to avenge his nephew, so he put Liu Xiaobao on death row without saying anything, and he was beheaded after the autumn!
Those who had received Liu Xiaobao's great favor couldn't bear to see him die unjustly. Once, taking advantage of the opportunity of the minister to come to the county, they worked together to block the road and file a complaint. After some investigation, it was found that the county order was a corrupt person, and in a fit of rage, he removed his black gauze hat, confiscated his property, and distributed the county order to the frontier. And Liu Xiaobao was acquitted and married the woman he rescued before.
It's a very clichΓ© story, but it doesn't matter, in this world where you don't know what a drama is, no matter how old-fashioned the story is, it can bring you freshness! And Boss Ling's writing is very good, the dialogue of each sentence shows the plot of the story and the character of the characters vividly, which makes her fascinated by it, I believe that if it is replaced by a live performance, it will definitely mobilize the audience's emotions!
She raised her head, smiled at the master and apprentice who were looking at her with puzzled and surprised eyes, and said with a smile: "Boss Ling, the writing is very good, Brother Guo said that you have a wonderful pen, it is really good!" β
Boss Ling said modestly: "The girl praised her, and she was able to pass the girl's level, Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the hard work of the past few days was not in vain." β
Rong Zheng interjected on the side: "The script written by my master is very well received, and there were once famous actors in the capital who spent a lot of money to ask the master to write the script!" It took my master three all-nighters to write this script, so it's naturally a masterpiece! β
Ah Xing looked at the dark circles under Boss Ling's eyes, and his heart was a little shaken, Ling Zifeng is gentle and elegant on the outside, but he has a tenacity in his bones, as long as he believes in things, he must go all out, he just didn't have a good opportunity, if this drama can really succeed, he will be able to get everything he wants.
"Boss Ling, thank you for your hard work." A Xing said sincerely.
Boss Ling shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Ling didn't feel hard at all when he wrote this script, but felt that it was a very happy thing to write this story that he had heard since he was a child into a script, and let his play perform the characters in the story." Miss Axing, I'll tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to the effect of the drama performance! β
Ah Xing handed him the script in his hand and said, "The script has come out, and then I have to hurry up and cast and rehearse, I have an idea...... Ah Xing smiled slightly, and her eyes flashed: "I want the drama to officially meet the audience at the end of the month." Isn't the Qingyun Theater opposite also open at the end of the month? β
She looked at Boss Ling, and there was a fierce look in her eyes: "Boss Ling, Qingyun Theater is persecuting you with such despicable means!" Shouldn't he be taught a lesson? They want to see us fall, and we want to open it for him in style, and we want to open it on the same day and fight against them! It may not be as prosperous as they are at first, but it won't be long before we can watch them decline! β
The coldness in Ah Xing's words and the strong confidence revealed in it made Rong Zheng's master and apprentice a little stunned, watching Qingyun slowly decay? It's unlikely, Qingyun has a famous character like Fang Mozhu! No matter how popular their drama is, it can't threaten Qingyun!
Rong Zheng touched his head and said, "Fang Mozhu is in Qingyun Theater!" He is a famous character in Jincheng, as long as it is his play, all the dignitaries and nobles will be on the scene. As long as Qingyun is there, it is impossible to decay! Although Ling Zifeng didn't say anything, looking at his expression, it seemed that he was very in favor of the apprentice's words.
Ah Xing saw that they didn't care about the disbelief on their faces, she was thinking in her heart, Fang Mozhu's appearance, there was an upright Ling Zifeng who took a lot of risks for him before, and at this moment he threw himself into a boss with ill intentions, what is the future, it is really worrying......
But his future, Ah Xing will not care.
Although Boss Ling didn't agree with Ah Xing's words, the little girl wanted to vent for him, so he naturally wouldn't spoil her fun. In the afternoon of the same day, he carried out the casting work, and at the same time handed over to the steward of the theater to buy slaves. Steward Xu has been following him for many years, and he has been doing his best to do things, and Ling Zifeng is very relieved to call things to him.
In the evening, Steward Xu spent a lot of money to buy back the three little girls through human teeth.
Steward Xu led the person to Boss Ling's courtyard for him to see.
Boss Ling looked at the three little girls in front of him, two of them lowered their heads and shoulders and shrunk as if they were very scared. The other one also lowered his head, but felt much calmer.
He said, "Raise your head." β
The three girls raised their heads in turn, all thirteen or fourteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the little girl with a calm expression was even more outstanding. Melon seed face, white skin and translucent red, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, straight nose bridge, cherry red lips, can be regarded as a rare beauty.
Steward Xu said beside him: "These three girls are all literate girls. They are all family members who have been degraded by sin. And that ......" he looked at the most beautiful girl, and whispered, "I heard that her father is still a third-grade official, so her price is the most expensive!" β
The beautiful girl, when she heard Steward Xu's words, showed a sad and embarrassed look on her face, and couldn't help but bow her head.
Boss Ling was very satisfied, he waved his hand and asked someone to take them down for resettlement, and after they were all gone, he asked Steward Xu: "There won't be any trouble!" β
Steward Xu said: "There will be no trouble, it is not a new thing for the degraded family members to be bought and sold at will, they are all helpless people, and no one will take care of them." And those girls were supposed to be sold into the Qinglou, and we saved them by buying them! β
Boss Ling nodded, and then he was relieved.
On the other side, Ah Xing returned home at night, only to find that Shen Yuanfeng had said goodbye, breakfast and water had not been touched in the room, the quilt on the bed was messy, and there was still a faint smell of medicine in the air. And the white brocade robe that hung in the courtyard was gone.
Ah Xing was a little depressed, so let's say it, at least say something of thanks. For example, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me" or something...... He also said that it would be beneficial to help him, where is the benefit? Where is it! Could it be that she can go directly to the Jin Palace's mansion to find him in the future?
Hmph, don't let her run into it in the future, otherwise, she must get this favor back! If you don't lose much, I'll be a girl for him for two days......
At this time, Shen Yuanfeng, who was sitting at a friend's house, couldn't help but sneeze. Lu Qing, who was giving him medicine next to him, said with a smile: "Is it that the cuihong girl from Yixianglou is thinking about you again!" β
Shen Yuanfeng laughed "sneer": "Do you think I am like you and regard Yihong Courtyard as your home?" Emerald Red is your old friend, don't count it on my head! β
Lu Qing was not angry at all when he heard his ridicule, and continued to smile and say, "What's wrong with Yihong Courtyard? You're not young anymore, why are you still so twisting and pinching, come with me that day, I'll call an experienced one to give you ****! β
Shen Yuanfeng's face turned red all of a sudden, he turned around with a "hoof", punched over, and the tiger was angry, Lu Qing laughed, his feet were a little, he avoided it dexterously, and his mouth was not idle: "The third young master is angry!" You can't see now, but you're no match for me! β
Shen Yuanfeng didn't continue, he smiled slightly, and said: "You are also a famous chivalrous man, but your mouth is so lacking in morality, if it is known, your image will suffer a lot!" β
Lu Qing saw that he didn't plan to continue fighting, so he walked over. Although he can't see with his eyes, if he really wants to fight him seriously, he still can't take much advantage.
"Image is a fart! As long as I am happy and comfortable, I don't care what others think of me! Lu Qing's voice revealed a kind of pride. And Shen Yuanfeng admires him most because of this pride!
He lives a free and chic life, which is deeply envied by Shen Yuanfeng, and his identity is destined to make him no matter how free he is, he will never have Lu Qing's free and easy.
"How did you find me? I don't even know where I'm hiding! β
After Lu Qing gave him medicine for his eyes, he wrapped them in a white cloth and said, "The eye injury is not very serious, and it will be fine in a few days!" I looked for you in this area because I saw the marks you left, and I found you when I saw your clothes in the yard. After speaking, he slapped the table heavily, startling Shen Yuanfeng.
"This group of bastards dared to come to Jincheng to trouble me! Brother, you suffered this wound for me, and if I hadn't left the city, they wouldn't have found you! Damn it! I must find out this group of grandsons, and dare to use lime as a means of indiscriminate! β
"When you trouble them, don't forget to call me, let me plant such a big heel, it's really easy for me Shen Yuanfeng to mess with!"
Lu Qing smiled: "They don't know the identity of your third young master, otherwise they must run faster than a rabbit!" β
The corners of Shen Yuanfeng's mouth curled: "It's fun because they don't know my identity!" He paused and said, "Thanks to the father and daughter, otherwise I would have been in a mess that night!" He thought of that strange little girl, and wondered what her expression would be when she found out that he had said goodbye.
"Just find an opportunity to thank them, give them some money, and they will be happy."
Silver? Somehow, Shen Yuanfeng had a feeling that Ah Xing didn't want to save him for silver. That A-Xing, there are many bends and bends in my heart!
Shen Yuanfeng remembered what Ah Xing said, hesitated for a moment, and asked Lu Qing seriously: "Brother Lu, have you ever heard of the light skill of crossing the river with a reed and stepping on the snow without a trace?" β
Woo~~~ Why no one left a message~~ Isn't it good-looking?
