Chapter 110(2/3)
Chen Zhiming cursed King Jin in his heart, turned to look at Ren Pingsheng, and said, "The wine and food in Zuihua Pavilion are pretty good, especially their Eight Ecological Feast. After eating, the lips and teeth remain fragrant, and the aftertaste is long, the prince, etc.
Will taste it more.”
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said, "You have to eat more and eat enough to have the confidence to fight with you."
Chen Zhiming heard this and laughed: "No matter how much the prince eats today, I'm afraid he can't escape this disaster!"
While chatting and laughing, more and more invited noble children came in.
The atmosphere in the lobby became more and more popular.
Chen Zhiming looked around for a week and saw that what he should have been here was almost there, so he called the shopkeeper and whispered a few instructions.
After a while, an actor went on stage to sing opera, and his singing style was similar to that of Yue Opera.
"...my younger brother's surname is Zhu, his name is Yingtai, and he is a native of Zhujiazhuang, Shangyu."
Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng was confused.
This is... Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?
Aside.
Chen Zhiming introduced: "This is a new song from Zuihua Pavilion, called "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which is adapted from a narrative that became popular in the capital some days ago. It tells the story of a great man who was Zhu Yingtai.
Miss, disguised herself as a man, went to the academy to study, and became brothers with a scholar named Liang Shanbo..."
Before he finished speaking, Ren Pingsheng continued: "The two died of illness and turned into butterflies, flying together."
Chen Zhiming was a little surprised: "How did the prince know?"
Nonsense, this is what I wrote.
Who would have thought that it would be changed into opera in just two or three months.
Are there any "The West Chamber", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Skin" next?
Ren Pingsheng had a lot of random thoughts and said casually: "I heard it a little before."
Chen Zhiming said: "The prince doesn't think that although this story is interesting, it is unreasonable. After all, no matter how a woman dresses up, how can she not be discovered to be a daughter?"
Just finished speaking.
Someone next to him took over the conversation: "Brother Chen is such a bad word. In my opinion, Zhu Yingtai was not discovered to be a daughter. It is human nature, and it is normal."
Chen Zhiming looked at the man with curiosity in his eyes: "How do you say this?"
The man raised his eyebrows and blinked: "Brother Chen might as well put himself in his shoes and think about it. What would you do if you were Liang Shanbo sleeping in the same bed with Zhu Yingtai day and night and found that the other person was a daughter?
”
Chen Zhiming thought for a few seconds and replied: "Tell the gentleman of the academy?"
“…”
Hearing this answer, the man looked speechless and said for a while: "Of course he pretended not to know, concealed it for her, slept with the same bed, hugged her occasionally, and rubbed her ears with her hands. Isn't it a different meaning?
If they are in love with each other, they will find an opportunity to confess to her and come to propose marriage.
If you just want to play, you can also threaten it..."
Speaking of this, I raised my eyebrows and everything was indifferent.
"this……"
Chen Zhiming never thought that this would be possible. He was stunned for a while before bowing to the man: "Get the teachings!"
The two of them colluded and made Ren Pingsheng speechless.
The man shamelessly raised his eyebrows at him: "The prince thinks, is there any reason what I said just now?"
Ren Pingsheng: "..."
Chen Zhiming said: "You are like you, and your mind is full of these dirty things? If there is a beauty dressed as a man next to you, even if you find out, you will definitely treat each other with courtesy and will never make any decisions.
thing."
Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but recall that he and Xiao Rongxue had the first time competition, and they were only a little short of a fight.
It’s hard to say whether I was subconsciously thinking about taking advantage of the situation.
This is the thought.
His face was a little hot, and he thought he didn't hear anything and said nothing.
..............
Zuihua Pavilion, second floor.
Zuodu Censor Xu Ruxian tasted a bite of crab noodles and exclaimed: "It's really delicious and well-deserved."
Aside.
The great scholar Cheng Jijiu asked, "You have been an official in the capital for twenty years, and have you never been to Zuihua Pavilion?"
Xu Ruxian said: "I came once eighteen years ago. At that time, I was just the inspector of Jingzhao Prefecture. A county magistrate invited me to the banquet at Zuihua Pavilion."
Cheng Jijiu said, "It's important that the wine and food have not yet come up, and the magistrate bribed you impatiently. You didn't have time to eat the food and left."
"Those who know me will retreat."
Xu Ruxian put down his chopsticks and recalled: "When I think back on the scene, I remember it vividly. A magistrate could take out three thousand taels of silver at will, almost worth the salary of a prisoner's censor for the whole life.
It is conceivable that in the years he was an official, he plundered many people's wealth and ointment."
Speaking of this, I don’t know what I thought of, my face turned cold: “At that time, I decided to eradicate the treacherous villains and corrupt officials in the court. If I fail in one year, I will take ten years to make it happen, and if I fail in ten years, I will take twenty years to make it happen.
Eighteen years later, but unexpectedly, the administration became more and more chaotic, even better than that of the past!
What is most heartbreaking is that Your Majesty is becoming more and more indulging in these people. In my opinion, the rivers of the Great Zhou are getting worse and worse, and Your Majesty is..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cheng Jijiu: "Your Majesty also has difficulties. It is not possible to rectify the administration of the government overnight. This process will inevitably cause considerable turmoil. It happened that in the past ten years, it was the most difficult thing for me in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After more than ten years of trouble, Your Majesty has concerns in his heart, and it is human nature to act conservatively.
Furthermore, although these people plundered people's wealth and ointment, they did get silver for the court. If they had not made the elixirs, the Martial Saint's injuries might not have been delayed until now."
Xu Ruxian also understood what he said.
It is precisely because of this that he has been suppressing the anger in his heart and has not erupted.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, drink."
Xu Ruxian was upset, so he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one go.
Cheng Ji also drank all the wine in one go.
At this time.
The voice of the actor singing the opera came from the first floor.
"Women dressed as men and went to school in a college?"
When Cheng Jijiu heard the lyrics, he was slightly stunned and guessed: "Can they be Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai singing downstairs?"
Xu Ruxian looked confused: "What are Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"
Cheng Jijiu said: "A story book is often circulated by students from the Imperial College, and I have heard of it a little."
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Since I returned to Beijing, there have been more and more words among students circulating. If it is just used as a pastime, it would be fine, but some students have already gone astray and become addicted to it and cannot
Exorcist, ah... it's really harmful to others."
Xu Ruxian's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "The students of the Imperial College are also addicted to the script?"
Any of the students who can enter the Imperial College have a strong sense of learning.
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is a master who turns a blind eye to the things outside the window and only reads the books of sages.
It is really hard to imagine that they would leave the books of sages and read the scriptures, and be addicted to it, and have no choice but to extricate themselves.
Cheng Jijiu sighed, looking helpless: "It has never happened before. It was just after Mo Yunzhai printed a large number of scripts, and this happened."
Xu Ruxian asked curiously: "What kind of words, let's listen."
Cheng Jijiu said: "The West Chamber, The Legend of White Snake, The Painted Skin, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai... There are more than ten scripts in total, and the writing styles are almost the same, and none of them are signed. They should be written by the same person.
, but I don’t know who it is.”
Speaking of this, he was a little depressed.
Since he took over the Holy Academy.
The Imperial College has a strong academic style, hard work and hard work, and has been committed to practice hard, which has become a trend.
But I didn't expect that in just one or two months, I was ruined by several episodes.
Hearing this, Xu Ruxian hesitated for a moment and said, "I have read the "Legend of White Snake". It is indeed interesting. The rumors were written by Ren in his spare time, but he didn't know whether it was true or false."
Ren Pingsheng...
Cheng Jijiu was stunned for a moment: "Which Ren Pingsheng?"
Xu Ruxian glanced at him and asked back: "Is there a second Ren Pingsheng in the capital?"
To be continued...
