Rong Tang studied Chinese language and literature in modern times. He has read a lot of classics, history, Chinese and foreign famous works, and strange novels.
There are all kinds of genres. Although he likes the stories about the male protagonist's upgrade the most, sometimes because of graduation exams or recommendations from classmates, he will also read some types that he has never come across before.
The books that the girls in their class read were quite bizarre. I remember one time Rong Tang opened a link in the group titled "Classical Chinese Learning" and subconsciously translated it while being shocked to finish reading a pornographic novel about an ancient general and the emperor who competed for a young eunuch, forcing the young eunuch to escape from the palace and ask the prime minister for help, but in the end the eunuch was imprisoned by three people and pornographically read day and night.
Rong Tang was stunned after seeing it.
One is for the plot, and the other is for the author's writing style and knowledge storage.
That pattern... is a real flower.
The entire article consists of only 3,000 words in classical Chinese, but he wrote seven vivid and colorful patterns, which were also very fair. He did not engage in any special class or special rights. There were two emperors, two prime ministers, two generals, and finally a group of four people walking together in great harmony of life.
Rong Tang exited and saw a message in the group: [I suddenly felt that what I wrote was what our ancestors left behind]
He slowly reshaped his shattered worldview and decided not to click on links without specific article titles in the future.
After Rong Tang became the ancestor in his previous two lives, his mind was full of political schemes and calculations, and he didn't even have time to pursue this hobby.
Until this time, he made up his mind not to care about the life or death of the male protagonist, and finally had time to pick it up and read it. As a result, he read several popular storybooks in Dayu, and suddenly felt that his three views might not have been completely reshaped.
For example, the book in his hand was said by Shuangfu to be the best-selling storybook at the time when he bought it. The owner strongly recommended it to him, and even said that there was even an opera troupe in Beijing that modified the play according to the content of the storybook and performed it in the opera house, and the response was very enthusiastic.
What is it about
It tells the story of a young master who was from a prominent family but suffered a sudden change. Due to a false case, his parents and elders were implicated, and the young master was exiled to become a prostitute and lived in a brothel, where he served men with his beauty every day.
His patrons are all powerful, famous and promising. Today they are the eldest son of a wealthy family, tomorrow they are the grandson of a high-ranking official, and the day after tomorrow they are generals with heavy troops... Everyone is reluctant to leave, and the most common phrase is "Qinglang, I really want to die on you." It is said that the new character that appeared in the plot update last month is even a prince. Readers have speculated whether he is going to help the young master's family to redress his injustice.
Rong Tang watched and danced, his mind full of questions: How on earth did this kind of script, which is almost entirely action scenes, get adapted into opera? ?
He knew that the people of Dayu were open-minded, but it seemed that they were not open to this extent
As a well-read modern man, his ears turn red after reading so naturally he would not let such a plot of robbery and destruction of world views pollute the villain's ears and give him the possibility of turning evil in advance.
But Su Huaijing just sat quietly in front of him, without moving, with a gentle but life-threatening smile on the corner of his lips. Rong Tang knew that he couldn't get away with this.
"It's not pretty." He whispered.
"It doesn't matter." Su Huaijing smiled, "I just want to know what Tangtang likes."
He didn't call her "Brother Tangtang" this time, but Rongtang didn't know why, but felt that he seemed a little angry.
After hesitating for a long time and just about to speak, Rong Tang suddenly had an idea, opened his mouth, and changed the plot on the spot.
The first sentence is: "This protagonist is a bit dumb."
Su Huaijing casually played with the tassels on his waist badge and smiled at him: "Hmm? What do you mean?"
"When the protagonist was a child, his family was implicated and wrongly accused due to some incidents. The emperor decreed that the entire clan be punished."
Su Huaijing laughed inaudibly, which seemed a bit sarcastic.
Rong Tang paused and said, "But his family had a particularly loyal servant who helped him escape."
"Oh?" Su Huaijing asked casually, "Didn't he die with them?"
Su Huaijing asked casually, but Rong Tang felt as if his heart was hit by a small wooden hammer. He lowered his head to avoid looking at Su Huaijing's expression, and said in a hoarse voice: "How could he die? I worked so hard to keep him alive..."
Su Huaijing paused what he was doing and said nothing.
Rong Tang continued, "The protagonist had a miserable childhood, but in the end he was still caught by the government and sent to a bad place."
What he said was cryptic, but Su Huaijing directly exposed it: "Brothel?"
Rong Tang choked: "Yeah."
"Then what?"
Rong Tang: "Then he stayed in the brothel for a long time, trying every means to get close to the nobles to redeem him and overturn the case for his family."
Su Huaijing: "Did it succeed?"
"It should have been successful," Rong Tang said, "but something bad happened in the middle."
Su Huaijing looked at him quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
Rong Tang pondered for a moment, and said, "Once, in order to win the trust of the current prince, he told him the news he heard from the brothel. The prince followed his instructions and captured a group of rebels, winning the emperor's appreciation."
Su Huaijing curved his eyes, with a hint of gentleness or indifference in his eyes that was hard to tell: "He's quite smart, not stupid. Brother Tangtang is a bit of a bully."
Rong Tang was stunned: "? Why do you say that about me?"
Su Huaijing: "His identity and status cannot support him to make any big plans. Since his body is his only capital, he should naturally make the most of it and seek shelter. In my opinion, he is not stupid, but even quite smart. He knows that besides his body, he only has a mixed bag of information channels, and he also knows that it is difficult to find a patron of a higher status in the brothel except for the prince. He told the other party the news he heard in exchange for a trust and gratitude. So no matter how he wants to rebel for his family in the future, at least he has a favor."
Rong Tang was stunned, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes when he looked at Su Huaijing. However, Su Huaijing smiled and poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Brother Tangtang was born into a royal family and has never suffered. Naturally, he doesn't know that if a small person wants to exchange something, he must pay a lot. This is not your fault."
He said it simply and casually, thinking that Rong Tang had such an expression because of disbelief, but on the contrary, Rong Tang completely understood his train of thought.
He just thought, if he failed to save him in time this time, would Su Huaijing also go down this path in his life
Rong Tang couldn't help but feel distressed. He lowered his eyes in panic, took the teacup and took a sip of tea to suppress the sourness in his mouth. Then he raised his eyes, looked at Su Huaijing, and said softly, "But that group of people are not traitors."
"So what?" Su Huaijing asked, "Did his parents deserve to die?"
Rong Tang shook his head, wanting to say of course not.
His parents didn't deserve to die, and your parents weren't incompetent and unjust.
But he couldn't say it, so he could only whisper: "That group of people are actually righteous people who rob the rich and help the poor, and one of them is the child of the protagonist's father's lifesaver."
Su Huaijing was stunned for a long time before he whispered, "Really? That's really stupid."
Rong Tang almost cried.
He no longer wants to believe the original text.
He even suspected that the author did not write about the villain's psychology and experiences because he was afraid that readers would feel sorry for Su Huaijing and want to change the protagonist!
Why? He is obviously a very good person.
Rong Tang sniffed and said softly, "If you were the protagonist and found out about this after a long time, what would you do?"
Su Huaijing just regarded this as a story. He answered whatever Rong Tang asked. When he heard his movement, he was confused for a moment, leaned forward, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "Why are you crying? It's just a story."
Rong Tang grabbed his sleeve and asked again persistently: "If it were you, what would you do?"
Rong Tang's skin was too fair and he was often sick. Apart from his dark eyes, there was almost no other color on his face. Even his lips were light in color, like a paper figurine that had just been made in a paper-making shop and had not yet been painted on the lips.
But he was not as creepy and lifeless as the paper man. On the contrary, he exuded an indescribable stubbornness from his sick bones.
If Su Huaijing had not taken his pulse personally, if he had not heard him coughing almost to death every day, he would sometimes have forgotten that he was actually a dying patient.
At this time, Rong Tang's eyes were a little red, and his face showed a bit of pity. Su Huaijing took a look at him and felt so heartless that he even wanted to pinch him again to make him cry.
But it wasn't that extreme after all. He thought about Rong Tang's question and said seriously, "I might not do anything."
Rong Tang insisted: "What if you have already helped your parents to get justice?"
Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, and once again felt that this young master was truly a wonderful person, as he could actually hear the hidden meaning in all his unfinished words.
So he smiled and said calmly: "Then I'll die to atone for my sins."
Rong Tang understood everything at once.
He knelt on the couch in disappointment, his spine seemed to be bent, but Su Huaijing smiled and coaxed him: "It's just a story. If Brother Tangtang is so distressed about this, I'm going to doubt whether you are a Bodhisattva from a temple."
Rong Tang smiled, his voice pale: "Well, it's just a story."
It's not just a story, it's your life.
After a while, Rong Tang found an excuse to leave. Su Huaijing was a little surprised. These days, Rong Tang always stayed here until it was almost dark and had dinner with him before leaving. Now the sun was just setting and it was still very early.
But he didn't say anything, just sent Rong Tang to the carriage.
As soon as Rong Tang entered the car, he asked the system: "Do you know where the second prince captured those people?"
The system's mechanical voice was cold and helpless: [It only said it was in the suburbs of Gyeonggi Province, but didn't say where exactly. ]
After holding back for a while, it couldn't help but remind him: [Host, you no longer have a God's perspective, and I can't check the original plot at will. Looking for someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.]
"It doesn't matter. We have to try." Rong Tang replied, raising his hand and knocking on the edge of the car. "We're not going back to the mansion. We're leaving the city."
-
The study room in the new house in Yong'an Lane.
For the first time, the room was empty without the person who made noise from time to time or lay down to read a book. Su Huaijing suddenly felt a little empty.
Rong Tang even took the storybook away. He felt a little amused but had no intention of actually reading it.
There were two orioles singing outside the window. Su Huaijing restrained his expression and walked into a room in the backyard.
Xingfeng was waiting there, and when he saw him coming, he said, "Li Changfu has sent Li Panyan to the Wukang Earl's Mansion, and Bi Xin went with him."
Su Huaijing looked indifferent, not really paying attention to the matter. He fiddled with his waist card and lazily sat down at the table. He only ordered, "Tell Bi Xin to find an excuse to leave after she sees the effect of the drug."
Xingfeng agreed and reported another matter: "Liuyun has found out the whereabouts of the group that forged the seal of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He asked me to come back and ask the master if I should reveal their whereabouts to the Second Prince as we agreed before."
Su Huaijing subconsciously wanted to say yes, but the moment the words came out of his mouth, for some reason, he inexplicably thought of Rong Tang's face that looked like it wanted to cry but couldn't.
I am extremely sentimental and don't know how to survive in the cannibalistic environment of Ning Xuan Palace.
For some unknown reason, Su Huaijing changed his mind.
He stood up and said, "Take me to see it first."
