Chapter 13: The Four Famous Books
After experiencing the impact of "Spring River Flower and Moonlit Night" of "Lonely Chapters Covering the Whole Tang Dynasty", as well as the stimulation of "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" and "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion" (actually "The Story of Yueyang Tower"), Sheng Siyan felt that his bearing capacity had been greatly improved, so he asked calmly: "Oh. Four famous books? Listen to it, I haven't had a chance to read it yet. β
She is ready to hear the big names of "Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from these people.
It's just that the look on the face of the young lady who is full of dreamy is a little unsightly.
In addition to "Dream of Red Mansions", Sheng Siyan can't think of the other three famous novels that can make a teenage girl have such a "drunk" expression on her face.
In fact, "Dream of Red Mansions" is also a tragedy, and only the first 80 episodes are authentic, and the last 40 episodes are just high-jawed dog-tailed mink.
Sheng Siyan tried to make a very cold expression. It's a pity that her temperament is too soft, and in the eyes of everyone, I only think her serious expression is so cute.
"Listen, the four famous novels are: "Dream Curtain", "Deep Courtyard", "Qingyuntian" and "Returning the Pearl"! - Isn't it nice to hear the name?! Niu Xiaoye said triumphantly.
Sheng Siyan's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly plucked out his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
This Miss Zheng Er, isn't she playing "Zhang Guan Li Dai" again? It's like she put the content of "The Story of Yueyang Tower" on "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion......
"Uh, can you show me?" I really want to feast my eyes!
Niu Xiaoye couldn't help pinching Sheng Siyan's little face, and said with a smile: "I'll show you when you are literate, I have all of them in my family." β
"Do you have it at home? I've got it with me! The young lady with a dreamy expression took out four thread-bound books from her schoolbag and put them on Sheng Siyan's bookcase.
"See? It is all a hardcover edition from Zhengjia Bookstore. The young lady said proudly.
Sheng Siyan calmly glanced at the four thread-bound books, and whispered, "Can you borrow me to go back and copy them?" β
Books in the Great Xia Dynasty are still very expensive, and one or two books in the homes of ordinary civilians are remarkable. Most people borrow it and copy it on bamboo paper, and then look at it slowly.
The cost of bamboo paper is cheap, and a big dollar can buy two dollars, so it is the favorite of ordinary people who love to read.
As long as you work hard and spend a little more pen and ink, you can keep those beautiful books by your side.
Of course, this kind of book is copied by oneself at first glance, which is completely different from the various finished books sold in the bookstore, and no one takes it as the real thing.
A fake is a fake, and it can never be the real thing.
"Yes, you can! Take it and copy it. It's really good-looking, and if you don't understand the words, you can ask your family. The young lady said enthusiastically.
Their class is an intermediate class, and the little girls who are admitted have a certain foundation, and they are definitely not illiterate people who can't read a single big word in the primary class.
The primary class is a literacy class, and the intermediate class is of course a little higher.
Sheng Siyan asked the young lady's name clearly, thanked her solemnly, and put the four books into the small schoolbag, planning to "read them" carefully when she went home.
"Sir is here! Sir is coming! β
There was a commotion in the school building, and the little girls were busy taking their seats, waiting for their husbands to come in and attend class.
Because it was the first day of school, the husband didn't say a lot of things, but just asked them to introduce their names and family backgrounds in detail, and then wrote them down on paper one by one.
By the time the whole liner was finished, it was already afternoon.
We had lunch and then went home from school.
Sheng Siyan couldn't wait to go home with Second Brother Wang, so he ran back to his house with a heavy small schoolbag on his back.
She really can't wait to see these "four masterpieces"!
When Wang saw her coming back, he hurriedly said, "Go and wash your hands, are you hungry?" I've got some snacks for you. β
Sheng Siyan answered absentmindedly twice, then went into his room, took out the four books in the small schoolbag, and put them on the bookcase.
Which one to read first?
Sheng Siyan held his chin in contemplation.
Wang came in and said, "Let's eat a snack and read again." This is a book issued by the women's school? After saying that, he went out, and did not come to see for himself.
Sheng Siyan didn't care either.
After thinking about it, I went out to wash my hands and eat snacks, and then came back to read a book.
When she came back, she picked out the first copy of "The Dream Curtain", turned the title page, and looked at it in ten lines.
After reading a few pages, her eyes widened again.
Oh my God, Miss Zheng Er, you deliberately can't get along with my eyeballs, right?
My eyes are falling out of my sockets today!
Sheng Siyan rubbed her eyes, she wasn't mistaken, right?!
There are Fei Yunfan, Chu Sickle, Lu Ping and Ziling in this book! - This is Grandma Qiong Yao's "A Curtain of Dreams"!
It's just that the background of the story has been moved to the Great Xia Dynasty.
In this "Dream Curtain", Fei Yunfan is a prince whose wife stole people and was divorced by him, Chu Yao is a studious and motivated scholar, and finally won the top prize in the examination, and came back to marry his fiancΓ©e Lu Ping, who was married since childhood. Luping is a beautiful lady who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her parents died when she was a child, she guards a small family business, and lives with her sister Ziling. After Chu Zhuangyuan came back to marry her, she naturally brought her little sister Ziling into the Chu family.
And then...... Everyone understands that the champion brother-in-law and the little sister had an unforgettable love, but the kind-hearted little sister was unwilling to be a concubine, nor did she want to make her sister miserable for the rest of her life, so she ran away in pain. In the process of chasing her little sister, her sister was hit by a carriage and broke her legs and became a cripple.
But when my sister was staying overnight in the broken temple, she was entangled by a homeless man, but in the end, she was rescued by Lord Fei.
The poor sister finally got her father's love from Lord Fei...... Oh no, it's supposed to be male and female...... So, the flower is a good full moon bird (βoβ).
However, her sister could not give birth because she broke her legs, so her brother-in-law took a lot of concubines......
The final ending is not exactly the same as "A Curtain of Dreams", and the language of the description is completely different, but all the stalks are properly from Grandma Qiong Yao's "A Curtain of Dreams"!
This, this, no wonder the young lady showed that kind of expression......
Sheng Siyan was in a strange mood and flipped through three other "famous books" - "Deep Courtyard", "Qingyuntian" and "Returning the Pearl".
With "A Curtain of Dreams", one of the famous books based on "A Curtain of Dreams", Sheng Siyan has calmed down on the remaining three books.
As she expected, the other three books were also adapted from Grandma Qiong Yao's book and set in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Deep Courtyard" is "Deep Courtyard", the male protagonist was changed to a retired general, and there was a story with his child's adoptive mother, and then, this adoptive mother turned out to be his ex-wife who was divorced by him, and she was reborn and came back for revenge!
"Qingyuntian" is Grandma Qiong Yao's "Biyuntian", which is written about the young grandmother of a family who can't give birth to a child, introducing the orphan girl she rescued from the health hall to her husband to give birth.
As for "Returning the Pearl", it is even more obvious, that is-"Returning the Pearl"! The adaptation of this book is easier, as long as the setting is changed from the Qing Dynasty to the Great Xia Dynasty.
The four famous works of the Great Xia Dynasty are actually adapted from the works of Grandma Qiong Yao!
This, Miss Zheng Er, what are you going to make a fuss about?!
