Chapter Eighty-Four: A Famous Prostitute in Hangzhou
Wang Sun......
Su Yang sat in the Dong family's bookstore, looking out through the window, only to see soldiers walking through the street, and listening to the words and deeds of these people, it was very different from the Jiangnan side, it was the accent of the capital.
Whose grandson?
"I don't know where they heard the news, I heard that the White Lotus Sect is making a lot of trouble in Hangzhou City now, and now these people have come to Hangzhou City, asking people from door to door, and also searching for books and periodicals such as the Old Testament and the Gospel, and as long as they find one, they will arrest all the people. ”
The shopkeeper Dong stood behind Su Yang and said in a panic: "There are already friends in Hangzhou City who have been arrested by him." ”
It's normal.
Su Yang secretly said that the current development of the White Lotus Sect was enough to arouse the vigilance of the imperial court.
"How many people have been arrested, and where are they now?"
Su Yang asked the shopkeeper Dong.
"Black tea is being checked. ”
Shopkeeper Dong said: "But now twelve families have been arrested, which is a sure thing, and now our bookstore is also destroying the Old Testament and the Gospel print. ”
Su Yang nodded, stretched out his hand to hand over the new draft of Dream of Red Mansions to Shopkeeper Dong, and said, "Don't panic, I'll deal with them." ”
Shopkeeper Dong naturally believed in Su Yang, and after hearing Su Yang say what to do, he held the scroll in his hand and went to the backyard, the guy who was originally in the study hall was now also fiddling with the "Old Testament" in the backyard, and Su Yang was the only one in the entire front hall.
Su Yang sat in the front hall, looking at the soldiers walking the streets and alleys outside, these soldiers couldn't figure it out for a while, so Su Yang simply took out a book in the bookstore and flipped through it casually.
"It's a matter of chance. ”
Su Yang looked at the content of the book, and secretly said in his heart, he took out a book about the unified induction and evaluation of the previous generation of painting painters, the characters in this book, the names of the paintings, in Su Yang's opinion, are extremely unfamiliar, they should be buried by history, but seeing the direction and painting style of these famous paintings in this book, Su Yang's eyes lit up.
The article records a family, since childhood deaf, never married a wife, all his life rely on paintings to cure hunger, such a poor life, the paintings should be dark and bitter, but since his paintings are all fun, in the early years of Hangzhou was a must.
There is another person, who was born in Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Courtyard, and has a political voice, and this person is good at sketching the mountain and forest courtyards, and prefers to use the side pen to take the momentum, so that the elegant courtyard is graceful.
Even though Su Yang is deified on the brush and ink, there are some things that he has never thought of after all, seeing the paintings of these predecessors at this time, so that Su Yang can touch the bypass, and the skills on their paintings, Su Yang will naturally be available.
"The Shopkeeper's ......"
There was a greeting at the door, Su Yang raised his head, and saw two people who looked like Xiucai walking in, one of them was handsome and chic, and the other Xiucai was also a dignified person, the two walked into the Dong family bookstore, said hello, and after seeing Su Yang, he asked, "Where did the shopkeeper Dong go?"
"He prints books in the backyard, and if there's something to do, just tell me directly. ”
Su Yang put down the book, looked at the two Xiucai and said.
The two scholars glanced at each other and asked Su Yang, "Do you know the latest scripts in Hangzhou?"
"Well, I know. ”
Su Yang nodded and said: "It's the one who wants to make a drama recently, right, Long San and Zhu Si are close friends and neighbors, Long San fell in love with Zhu Si's concubine, Zhu Si fell in love with Long San's wife, the two of them poured wine into each other, and then one pretended to go to the thatched house, but in fact went to the other party's house to steal the concubine's room, and the other pretended to be unwell, but in fact went over the wall to steal each other's wives, both of them were secretly successful, thinking that the other party did not know, and when the truth was revealed, they knew that the green man was true first. ”
The script that Su Yang said is also a script that has been very popular in Hangzhou recently, and it is said that it is about to be made into a drama, and it is said that this story is a real adaptation, anyway, as long as this kind of song is made up, it will be welcomed.
"This story is clearly fictional!"
A scholar said: "In the story, it has always been said that it is a big family, and this big family has never even had a single family? Moreover, the food mentioned in the opera is rough, and the beds mentioned are all low-door and low-income families, how can they be the rich people in Hangzhou? This is obviously arranged by the villagers, and a few scholars who do not know the truth or falsehood have made it up at will." ”
Su Yang nodded with a smile, it seems that this scholar is knowledgeable.
In the eyes of readers, it is natural to be three outlines and five constants, all kinds of truths, and the contact is also rare and valuable, and for the ordinary people, the life of the emperor is really unimaginable.
Su Yang remembered the Bangzi opera he heard very early, in the opera was Guan Gong's resignation from Cao, saying that when Guan Yu left from Cao Cao, Cao Cao caught up with Guan Yu and asked where he was not good for you in Xudu, and suddenly gave you dumplings and fried fritters, your sister-in-law Cao personally cooked, and she was busy sweating on a cold day, and the white mask and bacon made you tired of eating, and also wrapped purslane buns for you, poured garlic juice on you, shredded radish mixed with sesame oil, and sesame oil had a scoop of sesame oil......
This is probably the high-level life envisioned by the simple working people.
"We're talking about Dream of Red Mansions. ”
The scholar said to Su Yang: "This Dream of Red Mansions can be printed?"
Looks like this book already has readers.
"It's coming, it's coming. ”
Su Yang smiled: "It's being printed in the back." ”
The two scholars listened to Su Yang's words, glanced at each other, and each smiled.
"Under Chen Hongshou. ”
"In Shimoga Quequan. ”
In front of Su Yang, the two scholars reported their names, Su Yang and the two of them smiled, did not say their names, closed the scroll in their hands, walked to the front, and asked the two: "What do you think of this book of Red Mansions?"
Chen Hongshou and He Quequan glanced at each other, and He Quequan said: "This book is well written, although it has just been unfolded, it has already made many of us want to see the whole picture. ”
If Cao Xueqin had a group of readers like you, she might not have drunk porridge...... But writing a book in ten years is enough to kill a reader.
After finishing the book, it must be a god, and it is very appropriate to put it on Cao Xueqin.
"Brother, are you ...... here?"
He Quequan asked Su Yangdao.
Su Yang said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Dong personally went to supervise the publication of Dream of Red Mansions, and there was no one in front, so I will help him take a look at the store." ”
He Quequan and Chen Hongshou nodded, looking at the front and back doors closed, and the two of them also had a strong desire to go to the backyard to find out, and as Su Yang stretched out his hand to invite, the two of them sat down in the front hall.
"Does Brother Tai know Cao Xueqin?"
Chen Hongshou asked Su Yangdao.
Su Yang nodded and said, "I only knew this person from the book Dream of Red Mansions, and I knew that it was extraordinary based on this book alone, but I didn't have the opportunity to visit him." ”
Chen Hongshou and He Quequan glanced at each other, Chen Hongshou sighed: "I don't know where Cao Gong is, and I don't know how the song in the dream of Red Mansions should be compiled, Brother He, even if you pour all your family wealth, it's just a mandarin dream, and it's even more scattered, why be so obsessed?"
He Quequan listened to Chen Hongshou's words and sighed: "Ruiyun...... Rayvision ......"
Ruiyun?
Su Yang heard the name, looked at He Quequan and asked, "The Ruiyun that Gongzi said is a famous prostitute in Hangzhou City?"
He Quequan listened to Su Yang's inquiry, and said nothing, while Chen Hongshou next to him said: "It is Ruiyun, she is fourteen years old this year, she has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and now the bustard in her family is raising a high price for her, as long as she takes out a lot of money, she can have a mandarin dream with Ruiyun, Brother He admires Ruiyun's talent, and has already met with Ruiyun, both of them are interesting, but the money in this house is only worth one night, Brother He is now thinking about it." ”
Su Yang looked at He Quequan.
He Quequan shook his head and sighed, and said: "This mandarin dream is a night, after all, I have to wake up, after waking up, how can this situation be endured? I took out all my belongings, and the idea of sleeping with Ruiyun has been extinguished, but when I met Ruiyun, Ruiyun has always wanted to make the twelve songs of Dream of Red Mansions, I want to come here to ask Cao Gong, and then go to talk to her, the fate ends here." ”
It's also a seed of infatuation.
However, at the age of fourteen, he began to raise prices......
"Whoever wants to write and sing this song can naturally write and sing it, and there are no scruples. ”
Su Yang smiled and sat on the side, looked at He Quequan and said.
"I didn't know ...... this?"
He Quequan looked at Su Yang and said, "It's just that I really have no attainments in the song, and if I don't have outstanding insights, I'm ashamed to see Ruiyun again." ”
It turned out to be a reason for face.
Su Yang looked at He Quequan and said: "This Dream of Red Mansions Twelve Songs, written about women's fate, this fate has never been predetermined, for these women, it is too sad, if Ruiyun wants to make this song, don't put it between the songs and songs, add some questions to the sky, crying about fate, so that the tune is sad and high-pitched, I think it will be better than the women's crying voice." ”
He Quequan listened to what Su Yang said, his eyes lit up, this Ruiyun was fourteen years old, and he was forced to such a situation by the old bustard.
"What else does the gentleman have to say?"
He Quequan asked.
Su Yang smiled and stopped talking, a team of people had already broken into the door of the bookstore, it was the officers and soldiers who had been on Xun Street earlier, and when they walked into the bookstore, they saw Su Yang, He Quequan, and Chen Hongshou, and immediately surrounded the three of them in the middle.
"Which of you is the shopkeeper?"
The leader first shouted, "Where is the place where you printed your books?"
Su Yang got up, stood in front of the officers and soldiers, and was about to speak, Chen Hongshou had already taken the first step to stand up, took out a bag of silver in his hand, stuffed it into the hands of the leading officers and soldiers, and said with a smile: "Big brother, go buy some drinks to drink, I know this shop, there will be some filthy books in his shop, only this one is clean, because Hangzhou City is strictly managed, and it has not been published for a long time, only the book Dream of Red Mansions is also a legitimate one for you to review." ”
The leader got the money [wowo], took a cursory look, and said: "Sure enough, this should not be the White Lotus Sect, if you know that there is an evil book of the White Lotus Sect, you should report it to us earlier." ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
Chen Hongshou bowed down and smiled.
Seeing Chen Hongshou so respectful, the leader stretched out his hand and waved, and retreated with the people.
"Hoo ......"
Chen Hongshou looked at the backs of these people, shook his head, looked at Su Yang and said, "I really don't want them to break the book print...... Brother Tai, would you like to go to Ruiyun with us?"
Rayvision ......
This is also a chat.
"It's what I want. ”
Su Yang said with a smile.
PS: Stay up late to write......
