Chapter Seventy-Four: The Phoenix
The story written by Qin Lang is called "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
It is said that there was a poor scholar in the past, because Lu saw a splashy bully to the old lady, stood up and was injured, and later fainted because of the injury when passing through Jingzhou, but fortunately was rescued by a woman named Banxia.
After the scholar woke up, he saw that Banxia was as beautiful as a fairy, and he was kind and gentle, and he was very moved.
And Banxia learned that the scholar was injured to save people, and he also admired his courage.
The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other, but the scholar later learned that Banxia's origin was actually the Tingyu Building set up by the Imperial Court Teaching Department in Jingzhou.
That is, an official prostitute.
Among the official prostitutes of the imperial court, there are mostly Qing people, and Banxia is no exception.
Therefore, the scholar also secretly decided to redeem him after gaining fame in the future.
So half a month later, the scholar was injured just right, so he resolutely set foot on the road to the capital, and played a song for Banxia before leaving, called "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
……
Later, when he came to the capital, the scholar was actually the top student in high school.
Wealth, fame and fortune came like a tide for a while, and at the subsequent celebration banquet, a minister in a high position even wanted to marry a stunning maid in his house to a scholar on the spot.
The scholar saw that the maid was also a national color and Tianxiang, and then thought about someone in the Jingzhou Tingyu Building, even if he was a Qing man, but after all, he was also a prostitute, so he gladly accepted it and forgot about Banxia.
……
In a flash, three years passed.
A scholar who was an official in Beijing was demoted to a commoner because he was involved in a major case.
In the past three years, fame and fortune have been like a cloud of smoke, and the beautiful maid he married also left him as soon as possible, and I heard that he was a concubine for another minister again, just because that minister likes wives.
The down-and-out scholar passed through Jingzhou on the way back to his hometown, and remembered the woman who listened to the rain building who saved him three years ago, Banxia.
He wanted to see her, but after repeated inquiries, he learned that Banxia was no longer listening to Yulou.
After asking more carefully, I learned about an amazing past.
……
It turned out that Tingyulou looked elegant on the surface, but in fact, it was reckless for those powerful.
Many of the so-called Qingqi people in it are actually just for the outside world to see, and they may have already been played by various powerful people.
And the reason why the scholar was able to win the top prize in high school was because Banxia begged a minister who had coveted him for a long time, and promised that if the scholar was allowed to pass the exam, he would dedicate himself to him once.
This minister of the DPRK and China happened to be the one who gave the maid to the scholar at the beginning.
The minister agreed to Banxia's request, allowing the scholar to successfully gain fame and fame, and also took away Banxia's body.
After that, Banxia waited day and night for the scholar to come back and redeem himself with five points of regret and five points of expectation.
But the minister was not satisfied, and still went to Jingzhou from time to time to harass her.
In the unbearable intimidation and threats, Banxia forced herself to commit suicide and insisted on resisting for half a year, until she finally learned from the minister that the scholar she had never forgotten had married a wife and started a family, and she had long forgotten about herself.
At that moment, Banxia was heartbroken and desperate.
She cried heartbreakingly, until her tears dried up, and her body no longer had any strength, and in the face of the minister with green eyes, she finally laughed at herself, stripped off all her clothes, and completely gave up everything, including herself.
Since then, due to the minister's devastation of her day and night, Banxia no longer has the original water spirit and purity, and she is no longer a Qingqi person, and she gradually can't hide it, but the minister is afraid of the interior and is unwilling to accept her as a concubine.
Such a "waste person", not worthy of being an official prostitute, Banxia was driven out by Tingyulou, and when he almost jumped into the river to commit suicide, fortunately another folk Qinglou called Ningxiang Pavilion persuaded him to give her kind words and helped her.
……
After the scholar learned all this, he regretted not being at the beginning, and when he looked at his own appearance, he felt even more shameless.
So he spent the last of his money to buy himself a suit, and hovered around the Ning Xiang Pavilion every day, just to ask to see the woman who had given everything for him.
It's just that the reason why that woman doesn't want to see him again is not out of hatred for him, but because she hopes that one day the scholar can make a comeback, and she doesn't want her lowly status to be ruined by the minister to ruin his future.
After the scholar learned of this, he left Banxia a volume of music for "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", which has since disappeared.
I don't know if I was disheartened and let go of everything, or silently prepared to regain my strength and come to make up for Banxia one day...
————————
The story of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was written very rough by Qin Lang.
But those who read it are all like a treasure, and they refuse to miss a word.
There are two reasons for this.
First, Qin Lang still has the basic literary level, otherwise he can't write a book for the storyteller, for the lingering sweetness between the scholar and Banxia, he doesn't skimp on pen and ink, which makes people can't help but giggle when they look at it.
Second, in the whole story, although the role between the minister and Banxia is not much, the number of words is the largest.
Qin Lang took out his pen power to write "Young Hero Abin" and "The Biography of Luo Bing", and wrote the details of the minister's seizure and insult of Banxia's body very vividly, including Banxia's humiliation and repeated physical compromises, and portrayed it as three points.
At least when Wen Xue showed "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" to Nan Lingyue, the saintess saw it with love and hate, and her little face turned white with anger for a while, and red with shame for a while.
After finally reading the whole book, the saint's eyes were slightly moist, and she was ashamed and disgusted, and smashed a stack of paper manuscripts towards Qin Lang's vital point.
"Scumbag!"
“?”
Qin Lang turned into a master of covering weapons, and after protecting the vital point, he leaned back:
"What does the Holy Maiden mean by that?"
"Oh, I didn't say you..."
Scumbag is the word Qin Lang used in this story, Nan Lingyue felt it was very appropriate, and then said angrily:
"No, Qin Lang, you are also a scumbag, that's right!"
"Why?"
"Who asked you to write a scumbag like a scholar and wronged the Banxia girl? You and the scholars are in the same group! What is not a scumbag? ”
“……”
Qin Lang couldn't find the angle to refute for a while, and Wen Xue hurriedly played a round on the side:
"The story written by Qin Gongzi did not mention the transfer of the building to the public, but in the end, the original sentences were revealing the background of the transfer of the building, and by the way, there was a hidden meaning of belittling listening to Yuxuan and raising the incense pavilion, and at the same time, with the help of some... Overly detailed descriptions... to attract people, once this spreads, it may be the whole of Jingzhou..."
"No, it's not just Jingzhou."
Qin Lang is very confident:
"Don't underestimate the spread of word of mouth, in the near future, even the capital will hear the story of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", oh yes, speaking of which, there is one thing I almost forgot, and I hope that the owner of the Wen Pavilion will do it quickly."
"What's the matter?"
"Find someone to write a song with the same name as the story of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", the level does not need to be too high, the theme is that the infatuated man resents the woman, and then find a cute girl in the hall, let her practice the emotion of mourning more than death, blow the flute, or stroke the qin, start practicing this song from today, we have finished building the building, and then we should make a half summer out."
"Uh-huh!"
