"Such a thick book, what else can someone add and change? Dare you think that the lyrics are not beautifully written, and ask me to change it for him?" Turning a page, I opened my eyes and saw two light ink embroidered portraits that were painted like life.
The ink is slightly gray, the lines are dense and dense, and two handsome brocade guards with different clothes, different postures, and similar appearances are painted, like living people embedded in paper.
He was stunned for a while, and asked Li Dongyang: "These two are the Jin Yiwei who caught the thief? The painting is really exquisite, the sideways painting is especially good, not in the posture of bowing head and shoulders, but also full of vitality. This ink is deep and shallow, and it can also be divided into five colors, which is better than the fashionable color pictures outside."
Li Dongyang Yang glanced down and said with a smile: "This painting is drawn with a graphite pen, which is a little different from the ordinary pen and ink. If you look closely, these two paintings are of the same person, both leading the school captains in the play. The Jinyiwei Qianhu who patrolled inside and outside the capital and arrested the robbers, whose surname is Xie—is the Xie Qianhu who is currently on the mission to sweep away the gangsters inside and outside the capital."
He could see that the two looked like the same person, but ordinary painters painted this young and handsome figure with the same face, but with a slight change in expression. He subconsciously thought that these two were painted in the same way.
Yang Tinghe smiled and tapped the book in his hand: "It turned out to be the Xie Qianhu who rescued you Master Li and Yang Sheren from the evil young man on the street two months ago. I also said that Jinyiwei has a bad reputation. Well, why do you have to write about Jinyiwei's arrest of the thieves, it turns out that the scholar wants to write a playbook to praise old acquaintances."
He tucked the manuscript into his sleeve and glanced at him: "I understand, brother, please rest assured and wait!"
No, that's not me, it's my disciple!
Li Dongyang grabbed his sleeve, dragged him and said, "How come I deliberately praised this? This book is about current events, and the case handled by Jinyiwei, has Yang Xiandi heard the legend of black-clothed thieves outside? "
Yang Tinghe occasionally went out for a drink, and had heard some rumors about Jin Yiwei catching theft and arresting the murderer.
After reading it, he also praised the same as the original Li Dongyang: "What a painting, a good story, what a wonderful woman! This text is simple and easy, as popular as oral, but it has its own vitality in it, reading the text is like reading a picture. It's definitely not like the brushstrokes of an actor, a storyteller, or a storyteller. Could it be that some new young talent wrote this story, and the craftsman matched the picture, and asked him to his brother's house?"
Li Dongyang stroked his beard, smiled faintly, and deliberately said: "It's not too new, but compared to us, he is indeed a teenager. If Jiefu can write the hospital book for me, I will bring him to see you and ask him to invite How about we have a good drink?"
Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows: "It's too uneconomical to exchange a table of wine for a certain drama. Unless he is asked to give me this manuscript as well, I will not suffer a loss."
Li Dongyang said: "I'll decide this for him. But I can't give it to you right away. If you write the manuscript for discharge, you have to return the manuscript to him, so that the manuscript can be changed into a color map and printed into a book. Wait for that. Once the plate of the coloring book is engraved, I will ask him to give you the manuscript."
The two were talking in the courtroom, and Xiu Zhuan Wang Hua and Xie Qian also walked out of the duty room chatting and laughing. Seeing that they were holding something with their heads lowered, they could not help but cough and asked, "Two adults. What is this negotiation? Could it be that there are new official arrangements?"
There is no new official business, if they are not free, they will not have time to write dramas.
Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "Li Xueshi asked me to write a play for him, but he only offered me a table of wine. I said it was not worth it, and he took the original author's manuscript as a reward - two adults came to judge, God. Is there such a thing down there?"
Xie Qian glanced at the book in his hand, and vaguely saw a "girlfriend", and asked with a smile: "What kind of book is it? Is there a new novel or story book on the market? I actually exchanged this kind of book for the text of Yang's review. It really is too little! In my opinion, at least those who see it should have a share, and I should ask Master Li to buy a few more tables of wine."
Wang Hua stood beside him, smiling without saying a word.
Li Dongyang shook his head and sighed: "This manuscript was given to me by a latecomer. Jiefu wrote the opera for him, and it's enough to have him a drink. You court officials, who are famous and famous first, are so embarrassed to invite the younger generation to treat them."
Although Xie Qian's seniority is lower than Li Dongyang, he is a champion. His status is inherently detached, and he doesn't care about seniors and juniors. He joked: "Who said we want to eat wine from young people? Nian has never eaten Senior Li’s wine, and it’s rare to bump into Senior Li’s wine today, so why don’t you come and have a meal?”
Li Dongyang thought about it for a while, and sighed with a smile: "Forget it, I'll invite you. After the show is out, I'll pack a drink and invite you to watch it first, how about it?"
Xie Qian and Wang Hua were not polite, they agreed with him to go to the theater and have a drink, looked at the book in Yang Tinghe's hand and said, "We can't eat Master Li's wine for nothing, so we can help to see how this story can be changed. , maybe it can save Yang's review a bit of effort."
=================
The story of this black-clothed thief is indeed widely circulated. Because of its flamboyant color, it is particularly popular with the people. There are storytellers outside who have adapted it into a storybook. This story, adapted by Cui Xie, brings together the favorite elements of the literati, including the righteous daughter, the revenge of the father, the award of the Golden Palace, and the final marriage of the lover...
The only thing missing is the identity of the male protagonist. However, since the characters in this book are real people, and in reality, Xie Qianhu once rescued Li Xueshi from the evil young master, this identity is not easy for everyone to see, and it is not easy to change it casually.
Coupled with the more realistic and beautiful portraits in the book, it didn't take long for the original volume to travel all over the Hanlin Academy. Many sages, editors, and writers who have nothing to do, will scrutinize the lyrics and recite the words—of course, they are mainly scrutinizing Wang Yaoniang.
Such a slender, yet virtuous, filial beauty, how could she not pile the best words on her
Li Dongyang also told Cui Xie how his manuscript was popular in the Hanlin Academy, and said rather proudly: "Yang Jiefu filled in the words for you, Wang Xie and the two champions revised it, and others don't need to mention it... Your manuscript is considered the world. No two, when the show comes out, you have to ask your teacher to watch it first."
Yang Jiefu's name is not familiar, he can't guess Wang Zhuangyuan for a while, but Xie Zhuangyuan is Xie Qian! Cui Xie's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Yang Jiefu and Wang Zhuangyuan. Li Dongyang slowly opened his lips and spit out two names: "Jiefu's name is Shang Ting Xia He, Wang Xiu Zhuan's single name is a Chinese character, Xie Xiu Zhuan, you have seen it, don't need to say it again?"
The name Wang Hua is not familiar, Yang Ting and he have heard of it! A child prodigy who is a 12-year-old and a 19-year-old jinshi, I don't know when I will be a patriarch in the future, no worse than Yang Yiqing!
In this way, his play is actually a match made by the old man, the old man wrote the words, and the old man revised it... Although Wang Zhuangyuan is not the old man, he is also a champion, a very valuable champion!
He was a little dizzy, rubbed his temples and said, "When the theater is out, the teacher will invite all the adults who helped to revise the school book. Although the disciple has no good food at home, he has a sincerity and will try his best to entertain him. them."
Mr. Li smiled and said: "You don't have to ask so many, I'll just send someone for you. But you have to ask Mr. Xie for some good wine - this scene is to add luster to their Jinyiwei's face, how can he do nothing? The reason?"
Cui Xie smiled and said, "That's natural! When the time comes, the disciples will personally pull the car to Xie's house to beg for wine, and they must bring enough wine to get drunk a few times with Mr. and all of you!"
Li Dongyang recalled the delicious wine from the Xie family, his spirits lifted, and he asked him with concern, "Can I bring the original and ask you to find someone to reprint the color print in advance?"
Cui Xie said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. How did you draw at that time, the students still remember it in their minds, and these days have been slowly done."
After he drew the background and the characters, he directly asked Cui Qi to take the oil paper and draw the color, and then changed it to the comic strip style commonly used in engraving. Now that Cui Qi's paintings are very good, and there are skilled craftsmen who can draw big pictures in Ju'anzhai in Beijing, as long as Mr. Yang won't change the scene for him, they can first put the background, props, costumes and Portrait stand up first.
Li Dongyang said: "I think Jiefu likes the images you drew very much, and would rather use words to accommodate the images when writing, rather than easily change your things."
Cui Xie was relieved, and turned back and asked Cui Qi to lead the craftsmen to start drawing background pictures and standing cards.
Now that there are pencils, you don't need to rely on the eyes and experience of the craftsman, you can draw auxiliary lines. They used thick white cloth in pairs on the large frame made of wooden strips. First, they filled the grid with pencils and long bamboo rulers. Then they enlarged the original painting proportionally. line…
With this method of painting, even a painter like Cui Qi, who is not skilled enough, can paint a large picture by himself.
He looked at the painting he had drawn, and was a little surprised: "Young master, this method is so easy to use, I can draw such a big and beautiful painting! No wonder you can take the junior 3 yuan test after two years of study. How the heart is born, it is the seven orifices and exquisite hearts mentioned in the book!"
Ahem, this is all the wisdom of the people, he just took advantage of the journey back and stood on the shoulders of many giants.
Cui Xie coughed twice, telling Cui Qi to stop boasting, and stare at the clothes for him when you have time.
My lady's face and the image when she plays the pipa are drawn according to Guan Zhilin in "New Crane Needle", only the shape is too incompatible with the aesthetic trend of Ming Dynasty, and it is slightly changed according to the shape in "Spring in the Red Chamber". . And Feng Yun's white clothes style is also copied from Anita Mui who played with Guan Zhilin. The people of Daming eat this kind of boy paper with red lips and white teeth, beautiful like a good girl, and the fluttering white clothes also have the style of the male protagonist.
Yu Tailor held those women's clothing design drawings, and the happy ones were about to cry, and said to Cui Qi: "I begged you young masters to not give me more drawings, which fairy told him to move his heart, called him. He drew so much? Jin Yiwei and these clothes are all ready-made, I will give you two sets that others have ordered and have not come to pick them up, you can take them away."
Cui Qi didn't want any clothes for the time being, and told him eagerly, "I have to wear these clothes first during the rehearsal at my house. You can't make them for others. I'll tell you when I can sell them!"
Tailor Yu said with a smile: "I know, it's just like the Three Kingdoms and Five Beauties, let's call it Xihuo first, and wait for the people in the industry and the rich men to take the initiative to do it? I've been doing it for the Cui family for so long. , you still can't trust me? Before you use it, I won't even make similar clothes for others!"
Cui Qi ordered new costumes, and paid thirty-five taels of silver from the account. He inquired about the craftsmen who were not greedy for gold and silver, and ordered four taels of gold for gilt-bronze head and face jewelry. The shopkeeper Ji wrote a letter and asked Cui Yuan to send a few young craftsmen from the old shop, set out the samples according to the law, and drew a few sets of background pictures that matched the size of the stage; Time out and prepare to rehearse the new play of the Cui family.
Cui Liangdong was more busy, looking for lantern makers and miners everywhere, and working with his own handymen who could paint and color, he made fake trees and stones painted with bamboo stickers, bamboo bones covered cloth, and oil-dipped wax. 's home.
This is the first time for their family to make props by themselves. They are inexperienced. The furniture can be made according to their own appearance, which is quite realistic. Later, when Lu Juren returned to Beijing, he heard that Li Dongyang had linked the play, Yang Tinghe had written it, and Wang Xie had revised it. He was so excited that he asked Ying on the spot to help it out.
He is good at poetry and painting, and has a high taste for scenery. If you make plum blossoms, you will get sick and dry branches, if you make poplar trees, you will pick up leaves, and if you make mistakes with stones, they will be exquisitely carved. .
In July, Yang Tinghe's main book was written.
Mr. Yang rudely left the manuscript, and threw the book he wrote to Li Dongyang, and said calmly: "This book is written according to Brother Li's intention, and it is a great example of Mistress and Xie Qianhu. I wrote it. Although Feng Yun's ink is a little lighter, he is also considerate and sincere, and it is a good match. Since I have filled out the lyrics and lyrics, I have to follow my meaning and ask them to sing a word. Don't change it either - if the singing is wrong, I'm going to find the master!"
Li Dongyang flipped through the book he had written, chewed the words carefully, and he was so precise that he could not change a single word. Moreover, he is a southerner, and he actually wrote the rhyme in a meticulous and meticulous manner, with all the words and tones of the northern opera. After entering the strings, there must be harmony in the rhyme and rhythm, and it is also pleasant to sing.
He closed the book and said with a smile, "Then I'll ask him to arrange it. If it's wrong, I'll hold him to apologize to you."
Yang Tinghe's writing this songbook was much more delayed than Cui Xieke's. Every time he looked at the disciples who came to his home for class, he felt a little lost in his heart, as if it was not good to meet each other. Now that he finally got the college book, he felt much more relaxed. When Cui Xie came to study at home again, he greeted him to his bookcase, took the college book and threw it in his hand, and said lightly, "Look at it, Is this still acceptable?"
Yang Ting and the big brother wrote, can there still be unsatisfactory things
Cui Xie hurriedly stepped forward, took it with both hands and flipped through the pages, carefully imprinting the words of Future Shoufu into his mind. On the cover of the book is also written the words "Bao Shi Jushi", which seems to be the same as "Mr. Shuixi". This is a script written and signed by the first assistant in the future, and it has to be saved in the future, until Yang Tinghe becomes the elder...
There is so much happiness that he can't even think about it!
He laughed so hard that he could not see his teeth but not his eyes. If he hadn't been born to look good, he would have been taken as a thief.
Li Dongyang couldn't bear to look down, he knocked violently on his forehead, and said: "Yuanben gave it to you, you don't have to worry about it all day long. Go back and ask your family to find the play troupe out, and they are still waiting for you. where's the play wine!"
Cui Xie wiped his face and replied cheerfully: "Teacher, don't worry, I have already agreed to Xie Qianhu about the wine, and tomorrow Guozijian will come over after school. This time, the teacher and the adults will definitely drink it. Have fun."
