Chapter 33: The Peony Pavilion
Seeing that Gu Bai's pen was like a god, Xie Changan came over to take a look.
"Are you copying books?" he was puzzled, only a pile of paper, no books, what kind of books were copied?
It's pretty much the same to write a book.
Gu Bai pointed to his head, "I copied too much, and I have already memorized it in my head." ”
Xie Changan was stunned.
When he was copying books in the mountain temple, Gu Bai was already familiar with the Sutra of Light, the Lotus Sutra and other scriptures.
"You remember so many books and do nothing, and you waste your brain. ”
Xie Changan shook his head, feeling sorry for Gu Bai.
"I have that time, remember more of the girl's birthday, and how good the place to live is. ”
Only in this way can you please the girl.
Gu Bai shook his head, "Do you know why you have been counting down in the academy?"
"I don't know. ”
"Because you often go out with your ass on your head and stuff your brain into the hut. Gu Bai was not polite at all.
"Hush. ”
Xie Changan scoffed.
"Is it true that my son has a bad memory? I am too lazy to remember, and I disdain to remember. You changed to a girl, what do I don't remember?"
"The Cai family outside the North Gate, there are a total of girls, the big legs are long, the small legs are short, the second girl is a pockmarked face; the big girl of the Xu family in Six-foot Lane, the ditch thief is big; the widow Li of the South Gate, who has just married her fifth husband; the old Wang family of Henghe Bridge, who has just given birth to a daughter, weighs seven pounds and six taels..."
Xie Changan lay on the mat, stretched out his hand, and told the girls in the city like a treasure.
Hook Zi and Gu Bai were dumbfounded.
"The widow who has died four husbands, the girl who has just been born, you are too brute. Gu Bai couldn't help but say.
"You're a brute, you're a brute. ”
Xie Changan was not happy.
"What do you know, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles. ”
He was proud, "I thank someone, I have been in love for so many years, leading countless women to bend their waists, what do you rely on, that is..."
"Your father is a county magistrate. The hook pointed out mercilessly.
"Ahem. Xie Changan did not deny it, "Of course, there are also reasons for this, the main thing is that I don't fight unprepared battles." ”
He asked Gu Bai to learn something from him.
"Are you sure?" Gu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Just like me, learn from you?"
Xie Changan stopped talking.
"If our son is looking for a girl, then if he hooks his hand, the girls in the entire Yuhang City will go crazy. "Hook the tongue.
Xie Changan raised his head and sighed, "Since you are born, why is you born." ”
Gu Bai ignored him.
He turned back and continued copying.
The brush swiped across the paper, leaving a line of words: Women in the world are affectionate, and they would rather be like Du Liniang...... I don't know what to do, and I go deep. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who are born and cannot be resurrected, and those who die and cannot be resurrected are not lovely.
Gu Bai didn't tell a lie.
He is indeed copying books, and he has indeed put the book in his head, but this copying is not the book of this world.
As a bookseller, a bookmaid, what to do when you have no books to copy?
When Gu Bai's answer was copied from the book of the world, the first choice was what Gu Bai had studied in his previous life - the script of opera and miscellaneous dramas.
Because of his love and study, these things had already been engraved into Gu Bai's mind, so he came easily when he copied them.
Of course, in terms of signature, Gu Bai is still quite disciplined.
He knows that a work is not easy to come by, and it is the work of the creator's painstaking efforts.
He's just a copyist, and he can't just kick his nose and face and become a creator.
Besides, what if you meet a stunned person like the snake demon again, so, for the sake of insurance, whoever worked in the previous life, Gu Bai will sign it.
As for the silver obtained, Gu Bai could only say sorry, after all, he wanted to give it, and the creator couldn't get it.
This time he copied the famous "Peony Pavilion".
Of course, he did not copy word for word, but in the process of copying, he changed what did not fit the world.
As for some allusions in the script, Gu Bai is not ready to change them.
These allusions may not be understood by people in this world, but they do not affect the reading of the story.
Maybe it can be used as an easter egg for people in this world to guess.
As for the story, Du Liniang and scholar Liu Menghai fell in love and had fun in their dreams, people and ghosts fell in love, returned to their souls, and came back to life, etc.
Gu Bai felt that compared with his previous life, the story was more suitable for taking place in this world.
Gu Bai pondered this, immersed himself in copying the book, and couldn't help but sing it when he copied the lyrics.
Hook Zi and Xie Changan didn't hear what Gu Bai sang, because Gu Bai sang so badly, like a creaking sound when he gritted his teeth, which made people want to hit him.
"Stop, stop. ”
Xie Changan asked Gu Bai to stop, "Old Gu, if you want my life, just take it, don't torture me like this." ”
"Hey, I don't know how to enjoy it. ”
Gu Bai ignored him and continued to copy the book.
Xie Changan gloated, and said to the hook grinding ink on the side: "Heaven is really fair, gave your son such a good skin, and took away his throat." ”
Hook rolled his eyes, "You don't want to change it." ”
Xie Changan couldn't laugh.
This master and servant are too ruthless, the handsome one makes him speechless, and the ugly one actually makes him speechless.
Xie Changan simply stopped talking, squeezed Gu Bai to the side, and occupied most of the mat by himself to sleep.
When the sun was deflected, Wang Shouyi and the others finally returned.
"Childe, there is only one village nearby. Wang Shouyi fanned the wind with his hat.
"Only one village?"
Gu Bai looked at the large wasteland in front of him, there shouldn't be only one village.
After crossing to the south, a large number of people fled south, and many people gathered in Jiangnan for a time, and it was rare to see land being abandoned.
"Oh. ”
Wang Shouyi pointed to the river in front of him, "This river comes out of the manor, so the Xian family thinks that the water is also their own." ”
If the water is used to irrigate the land, the water bill must be paid to the Sin family.
"The high cost of water is terrifying, so the villagers who have land here stop farming and let it be wasted. ”
Wang Shouyi is still very dedicated to being the head catcher, and he understands this inquiry.
"It's too overbearing. Hook said.
"Aren't all these wealthy families like this?" Gu Bai was surprised.
He looked at the hook, "How did you get from forgetting your name?"
Xie Changan didn't know, "How did it come?" he poked his head over and asked curiously.
"Don't say it!" Hook hurriedly stopped Gu Bai.
Gu Bai was still very good to his little slave, he stopped in time and let Xie Changan guess by himself.
"The missing person is from the village?" Gu Bai asked.
Wang Shouyi shook his head, "It's not from the village, and there have only been two children lost in the village recently." ”
Gu Bai turned around and asked the demon suppressor who was sorting out the bones, "How many children are there in the corpse pit?"
A demon suppressor stretched out four fingers, then bent down another, "Three children's bones, and one I don't know if it's or not." ”
The skeleton was so small, a bit like a cat's bones.
Gu Bai nodded.
He suggested to Xie Changan, "Why don't we go to your classmate's manor and have a look?"
Xie Changan was stunned, "Looking for that traitor, why?"
"With so many bones, if the murderer had brought them from afar, it is estimated that they would have been discovered. ”
The village was closed at this time, and it was difficult not to be spotted by a stranger.
Gu Bai felt that it was more reliable for the murderer to be someone nearby.
Since there are no fewer people in the village, there is a good chance that the owners of these bones are from the manor.
Xie Changan nodded, "That makes sense, then let's take a look." ”
