v4 Chapter 314： Ritualism VS "The Story of the West Chamber" (Part 1)

Walking into the expanded Dongcang Grand Theater, according to Chen Luo's instructions, a new box area on the second floor has been built here.

"It's no wonder that one movie ticket was enough. It turned out to be the case." A great scholar looked at his precious granddaughter and said with a smile, "Nan, grandpa didn't tease you, I promise you can watch the play."

The 28-year-old little girl hurriedly stepped forward to give her grandfather a light beating on the back, and said with a smile: "This is not the grandfather's face!"

"Hahahaha, this is mainly because Wuhou gave the old man this face..." The old man's favorite is the reverence of such little children. Before the show started, his favor for Chen Luo rose by three points.

...

"Brother Jin, look, am I right, we also have a small box..." Zhu Hesong said excitedly in the box.

Jin Helan was a little depressed, looked at Zhu Hesong with a round face, and wondered, "Why did you assign us to a room without asking?"

"What? Brother Jin, do you want to change someone?" Zhu Hesong sank.

Jin Helan sighed: "Forget it, with the way you speak, Brother Zhu, people who don't know you may want to kill you."

Zhu Hesong snorted: "You can't beat me, or you'll kill me long ago."

Jin Helan: Today, we chatted to death again.

...

Chen Luo naturally also reserved a box for himself, Luo Hongnu went to the backstage to work, only Yun Siyao and Chen Luo sat in the box, Yun Siyao leaned against the window sill and looked around the other boxes, Chen Luo smiled. Said: "Senior sister, are you looking for someone?"

Yun Siyao smiled lightly: "It seems that a disciple of the Fang family is here."

"Fang family?" Chen Luo frowned slightly.

"It's okay, in Dongcang City, you can't turn the sky!" Yun Siyao waved his hand and sat back in his seat. Chen Luo thought about it too. Now Sima Lie and Yan Baichuan are sitting next to him, what are you afraid of?

"Etiquette? Take a look at "The Story of the West Chamber", it must be very exciting." Chen Luo suddenly thought.

...

"Everyone, are you ready?" Du Shouzhong stood in his box, looking at the several great scholars in front of him. They were all disciples of the Fang family, and now they were gathered in Du Shouzhong's box.

"Brother Du, you are the direct disciple of the Fang family, I am just a side door, naturally you are the leader." A Confucian with a gloomy expression nodded.

"On the day that the martial arts institute opened, the old man wanted to attack, but the savage days came, and the old man would give others a hand. But all kinds of rituals and music in Dongcang City collapsed, and the old man did not vomit unpleasantly. Today, I would like to attach my tail." An old-fashioned Confucian nodded slightly.

"Martial Dao has been accomplished, and it is not my power to reverse it. But the road to opera has not been developed for a long time. It should be a weak point in the foundation of Chen Luo's Holy Dao. We can take this word to help the Fang family." The scrawny Confucian said.

"Being angry without reading, a foolish man and a foolish woman are on par with me, this is the first crime of drama; the second is the crime of drama when a woman shows up and appears on the stage; this is the second crime of drama; ." The last white-faced Confucian slapped the white paper fan in his hand and said disdainfully, "Do you have anything else to add?"

"Brother Wu Xian has been very accurate in generalization. I'll wait to see what outrageous remarks he has in this "West Chamber"." The old-fashioned scholar said softly.

At this moment, the scrawny Confucian Confucian suddenly said, "This place is Dongcang City, and Chen Luo has many fans. With Yan Baichuan and Sima Lie present, I'm afraid I'll have to figure out how to deal with it."

Du Shouzhong smiled contemptuously: "Just talking about the Tao! It's amazing to suppress and expel us, do they dare to kill us? I'm doing this to protect the Fang family's holy way, and the Fang family will definitely not treat me badly."

After Du Shouzhong finished speaking, the eyes of all the great Confucians lit up. But soon, the cold-faced Confucian hesitantly said: "Brother Du, don't forget that the dragon girl and the misty beast in the bamboo forest are also in Dongcang."

As soon as these words came out, the box fell silent in an instant.

Yan Baichuan, Sima Lie and the others must not dare to kill them, let alone those from the Taoist sect in Qingxuan. They don't worry about that.

But the dragon girl and the misty beast don't have those concerns anymore.

Du Shouzhong saw that everyone was lingering, turned his palm over, and a blue and translucent jade card appeared in his hand, and said coldly: "Everyone, look at what this is?"

The old-fashioned Confucian suddenly stood up from the seat and looked at the jade plaque: "Sacred Heart Jade!"

The Sacred Heart Jade is a treasure condensed by the semi-sages who extracted and comprehended their own holy way. It is generally used to give the disciples of the next generation who are close to them to comprehend their own holy way. Of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, comprehending the way of the predecessors, there will be obstacles to the development of one's own holy way. Therefore, for the great Confucian who is expected to be canonized, the semi-sage will not bestow the Sacred Heart Jade.

At this time, seeing the Sacred Heart Jade, the eyes of everyone looking at Du Shouzhong changed again.

Originally thought that he was just a disciple of the Fang family's direct line of great Confucianism, but unexpectedly, he actually got the blue eyes of the Fang family's half-sage.

Du Shouzhong was also proud when he saw everyone's reaction. Speaking of which, his master was indeed a first-rank Confucian of the Fang family, but he was not qualified to obtain the Sacred Heart Jade.

But he gave birth to a good daughter!

Born with a scholarly body, the offspring born are bound to have superior talents, far exceeding "white cranes sending children". This Sacred Heart Jade is the dowry gift of the Fang family!

It doesn't matter who you marry, what matters is marrying the Fang family.

With a woman, in exchange for the prosperity of the Du family, and marriage with the Fang family, and the grandson may become an important person in the Fang family in the future, it is simply worth a thousand dollars.

As for the disciple who was childhood sweetheart with his daughter, for the sake of his daughter's innocence, he could only bury it in his own spiritual material field.

Du Shouzhong said lightly: "If the dragon girl and Wuli really make a move, the old man will naturally use the Sacred Heart Jade to call out the holy way. Even if they lose to the dragon girl and Wuli, there is a delay in the holy power, but there will be enough time for Yan Baichuan and the others. Protect me and wait!"

"After all, I am also a great Confucian!"

The old-fashioned Confucian hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Dare to ask Brother Du, which one is Fang Xue in this Sacred Heart Jade?"

Du Shouzhong smiled and said, "Respect!"

"You can rest easy!"

All the great Confucians looked at each other, and they all saw the relaxed look in each other's eyes. Fang learned a lot, and among them, the etiquette was the strongest.

"Let's watch this play!"

...

On the other side, the door of the theater suddenly closed, and the theater was dark. Immediately, the lighting stones around the stage lit up, and the stage curtain slowly opened.

Chen Luo looked at the stage with anticipation.

"The Story of the West Chamber" has a total length of more than 50,000 words, and is a relatively rare long-form work. As one of the four major Chinese classical plays in the previous life, it is as famous as "The Peony Pavilion", "Peach Blossom Fan" and "The Palace of Eternal Life", except for the spiritual connotation contained in it. In addition to the fascinating stories, the most important thing is that the classic famous sentences emerge in an endless stream, and the literary talent is flying. This is also the reason why Chen Luo chose this play as the premiere play for Da Confucianism.

Don't ask why you didn't choose "The Peony Pavilion", it's not worthy of the three thousand miles to the sky.

The whole "West Chamber" is divided into five books and 20% off. The first book, "Zhang Junrui Makes a Dojo", is that Zhang Sheng fell in love at first sight with Cui Yingying, who accompanied his mother to pray for blessings at the Pujiu Temple. On the pretext of staying overnight to study, he got the opportunity to be close to Cui Yingying, and expressed his love to Cui Yingying.

The second book, "Cui Yingying Listening to the Night Qin", is about Zhang and Cui who fell in love and had a conflict with the old lady. At this time, the bandit Zhang Feihu surrounded the temple, and the old lady promised Zhang Sheng that if he could solve Zhang Feihu's threat, she would betroth Cui Yingying to him. Zhang Sheng invited his friend, General Du Que, the White Horse General, to relieve the siege, but was later married off by the old lady.

The third book "Zhang Junrui hurts Acacia" is the focus of the whole play. Zhang Sheng fell in love with the old lady because he missed Cui Yingying, so Hongniang brought them together, allowing the two to have a tryst and talk to each other.

The fourth book "Dream Yingying of Caoqiao Store" is the torture of the matchmaker by the old lady who discovered the two's affair, and the famous "Kaohong" comes from here. Hongniang was eloquent and eloquent, making the old lady speechless. In the end, the old lady used her family position as an excuse to ask Zhang Sheng to obtain fame in order to marry Cui Yingying. And the song "Biyuntian, Huanghuadi, the autumn wind is tight, the north geese fly south." The word is from this book.

The final "Zhang Jun Ruiqing Reunion" is about Zhang Sheng's high school champion, but the old lady was deceived by Zheng Heng's lies, and wanted to repent and marry Cui Yingying to Zheng Heng. In the end, Zhang Sheng came in time, exposed the lie, and married Cui Yingying. .

Chen Luo looked at the stage, and the lively and vivid characters on the stage seemed to cross the boundaries of the world along with the beautiful singing, and reappeared in front of Chen Luo...

...

In the big Confucian box.

"Flowers fall and water turns red, there are thousands of idle worries, and there is no word to complain about the east wind!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Kong Tianfang patted his thigh and praised, "There is such a good sentence in the wedge."

"The fallen flowers fell into the water one after another, turning the stream red. With so many falling flowers, there are so many unwillingness to leave, silently complaining about the east wind blowing down on them." Kong Tianfang sighed, "Such a sentence , even if it is taken out alone, it can be praised all over the world, but it is a pity to put it in such a drama!"

At this time, the great Confucian sitting next to Kong Tianfang rubbed his thigh that had just been slapped by Kong Tianfang, and barked his teeth and said, "Perhaps in Wuhou's eyes, poetry that is passed down the world is not so valuable!"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the great Confucians in the box took a deep breath and wanted to refute, but they couldn't.

Think about it, others have been searching for several years, that is, one or two poems. Wuhou seems to start with two or three songs every time he opens his mouth.

Throughout the previous generation, only Li Qinglian and Su Poxian were like this.

"Watch a play, watch a play!" Yan Baichuan coughed softly, "Don't compare your literary talents with that little monster!"

"We still have an advantage over our age!"

The crowd choked.

If you say that, it seems like you won, but it doesn't seem like you won.

...

"Shy Hua Jieyu, gentle jade is fragrant." Listening to the new lyrics, Yun Siyao murmured the lyrics, turned his head to look at Chen Luo, turned his eyes again, and continued to look at the stage.

...

"Intentional contention seems unintentional good, but affectionate but ruthless annoyed." You Daru sighed softly, "Another good sentence. It's similar to Su Poxian's Butterfly Love Flower."

"Huh? This sentence is also very good, 'Last night I loved the spring breeze when the peach and plum blossoms bloomed at night, and today I worry about the autumn rain when the sycamore leaves fall'. I write the spring and autumn with love. This old man will write this sentence into the couplet of the study!"

"Oh? Then this sentence 'The mood of spring is short and willow silk is long, and people are far away from flowers and shades.' Don't grab it with this old man!"

"No one will rob me of the phrase 'the flowers and shadows overlap, the fragrance is delicate, the courtyard is dark and the moon is bright'!"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, there must be a good sentence... eh? Sweet words are warm in winter, and harsh words hurt people in June. Great, this sentence is suitable for writing and giving to the censors in the court!"

"Hahahahaha..." The Confucians laughed.

"Listen and listen again... the moonlight dissolves in solution, and the flower shade is silent in spring. How can I approach the soul without seeing the man in the moon!" Kong Tianfang wanted to pat his thigh again. Immediately took a shot.

"Cough, cough..." Yan Baichuan frowned slightly again, "Can you watch the show well, and then comment on the poems later!"

"The old man wants to watch the plot! Don't play poetry with me here!"

...

At this moment, in Du Shouzhong's box, a group of people were furious.

"No reason!"

"Hong Niang has no respect!"

"Zhang Sheng insults Sven!"

"Cui Yingying is shameless and shameless!"

"It turned out to be a private life!"

"Obscene lyrics! This is obscene lyrics!"

Everyone is angry but no one mentions the old lady's "believing"!

...

Different from the discussions in the box, in the hall, the people of Dongcang tried to stare at every move on the stage.

When Chen Luo was writing "The Story of the West Chamber", he specially added a little bit of content from the Peking Opera Xun School "The Matchmaker" to make the matchmaker's image richer and more three-dimensional.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao, who played the matchmaker on the stage, was singing one of the most classic lyrics——

"Tell Zhang Sheng to hide under the chessboard, I'll come to you step by step, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, follow the little matchmaker, you can see her, but it's a romantic story, don't be alarmed by the order. she!"

Seeing Zhang Sheng's actor really hid under the chessboard and followed Little Matchmaker step by step, everyone in the audience couldn't help but laugh. Many rich and noble ladies looked at the little maid beside them and sighed deeply.

have a look! have a look!

Look at people!

The one around me is obsolete, or replace it with another one!
