Views:

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the banquet in the palace was over, but the Jinyiwei drama that Eunuch Gao lined up was about to begin.

Xu and Liu, the two masters of the academy, are serious figures. They don’t like listening to operas, and they don’t constrain the romantic talents in the academy. Let's go and see, maybe there are officials of Ke Dao who are in it. If you go there, you have to be proud of your identity, and don't make any romantic charges, which will be in the hands of the bureaucrat and the imperial censor."

All the scholars, reading assistants, lecturers, editors, editors, reviewers, and even sages have to respond, and make sure to go there at night to eat, drink, listen to new dramas, and never do anything that would disgrace the Hanlin Academy.

After listening to the opera, the garden still belonged to the Huang family in Nanguan, and they were sure that the people in the garden were as lively and intense as the two general elections in Ju Anzhai. There are tricks like that, even if you are busy queuing up to vote, who cares about being romantic!

Everyone brought new clothes, sachets, and perfumed dew on their bodies from home. The originally solemn and solemn official hall was like a New Year's Eve, and the officials who were dressed in various colors made up a festive color.

This play has a total of 15% off, 10% off every night, and 10% off wedges on the first day, and it can be sung until September. But Eunuch Gao’s family is rich, so he only needs to buy one ticket for the 15-fold show. The guests who have seen the show this time can get the next show ticket when they leave, but the movie ticket must not be folded or damaged, otherwise it will not be allowed next time. Enter, but also spend money to re-buy.

After watching the first two plays, there were secret articles commenting on this drama of Jinyiwei.

Guozijian, Shuntianfu School, Wanping, Daxing County School, etc. have learned and copied and circulated, and there is a source for some props, some color matching and the original color picture in the picky drama. There are also people who are picky about the eye makeup at the end of Yao Qianhu, who is picky about how tall An Qianhu is, and who are picky about the age difference between Xu Qianhu and Xu Qianhu, who don't have the feeling of being an eldest brother or younger brother in the original work...

There are dark tides of comments, and murderous intentions are everywhere. If an article is criticized today, it will be rehabilitated tomorrow; if an actor is praised by a certain talent today, someone will be harsh and critical from head to toe tomorrow; as for exploring the secluded and hidden, the characters in the play are compared with real characters one by one. Even more.

Sitting in the Imperial Academy, Cui Xie was writing the "Records of Emperor Xianzong's Pure Emperor." The household's stature is stout, not like the words of a teenager.

That Jiang Xiuzhuan was a Jinshi in Chenghua for fourteen years, and now he is in his 40s and 50s. He is more energetic than a young man when he is fighting. Much more alive.

Xiao Xu Qianhu had a martial arts show of "Pearl Upside Down Rolling Curtain" on the stage. The actor who played him was strong in martial arts. With the hook of his feet, he fell from the eaves of the building, and he was still unable to hang upside down on the stage for a long time. Move, waist does not tremble. It's just that this person is thicker and taller, and he is on a par with Da Xu Qianhu, and he has been criticized a lot during the day. Jiang Xiuzhuan didn't know who he was discussing with, refuting the other party's criticism of his body, and arguing that this kung fu was the most rare, in comparison, a thinner and thicker body and a younger face were not worth mentioning. thing!

Jinyiwei comic strips have not yet gained such a strong limelight in such a fresh form, and it is true that real people are the most popular!

Cui Xie couldn't help but secretly imitated his colleagues. In addition to entering the record table, he also commented on the difference between the art form of live-action drama and comic strip as the original author. Wang Zhuangyuan even wrote several "On Anhu's Women's Clothing Is Not Kitsch" and "An Old Man's Comment on An Qianhu's Temperament", which analyzed An Qianhu's chivalrous psychology from head to toe.

On the fourth day of the new play, after Cui Hanlin was recommended by Wang Zhuangyuan of the Tang Dynasty, the current Wang Zhuangyuan also wrote a short biography of the famous poet Wang Wei.

There is a play every night and a batch of articles during the day, stirring up the circle of literati in the capital constantly, and sparks appear from time to time. I don’t know how many original authors wore thick vests to write small essays, and I don’t know how many Gaobaihu bought and praised the play. There are also opera troupes who secretly watch the show stealing teachers, order props, and learn to rehearse.

Gao Baihu, who sparked this trend, has never been proud.

Despite the tireless praise of his literati, he remained rational and humbly accepted the opinions of those criticizing their new play. Not only did he accept it, he also asked people to block Cui Xie while the audience was eating at the stall outside before the show started, and dragged him backstage to ask the stage design expert for his opinion.

Expert Cui looked at the blue silk seawater that covered the stage; several big men on the side of the stage pressed hard, blowing blowers under the silk to create a wave effect; lights and reflectors on the upper and lower corners of the stage; the outside was made of colored paper, and the inside was A big boat that can carry people on a flatbed car...

The piles and piles are all rare products under the contemporary technical level.

Gao Baihu pointed at his newly researched props and asked nervously: "How is this boat doing? Brother Cui Xian, tell me the truth, can the master of the painter control how he paints? I'm afraid that when my treasure ship is made, it will be different when he draws it back in the painting, and someone will pick on it!"

Only then did Cui Xie understand what he was thinking, and he chuckled lightly: "What's the difference between the boats, don't we Daming always use this kind of hard sailboat that can make six-sided winds? Zuo is just bigger and smaller, and the exterior decoration is slightly different. That's all. The painter has never seen a serious boat, and there may be some mistakes in the painting, and the gentleman outside has a lot of knowledge, so point it out to everyone, and the world will naturally laugh at him but not at you.”

Those who know little, it is just that you, the expert who has been researched, asks someone to write an article on popular science, so as to make a splash.

Although he didn't make the words clear, Gao Baihu had already done the work of buying literature and supporting dramas, and it was easy to understand, so he didn't worry about anything, he smiled and said to Cui Xie: "Looking back, those pictures in my hand are also called Send a copy of the description to the shopkeeper Ji. The wise brother doesn't treat the foolish brother as an outsider, how can the foolish brother be willing to let your people do something wrong and be pointed out by others?"

Cui Xie really wanted to see what the big ships of the Ming Dynasty were like. Zheng He's treasure ship was no longer in sight, so it would be good to have a look at a lower-tier military ship. He smiled slightly and said bluntly, "I thank Brother Gao on behalf of the author of the Jinyiwei comic book."

Gao Baihu repeatedly said "no thanks", but craned his neck and asked him, "I have never been good at asking my brother Xian, but today our brothers are talking privately, can you tell me about the pseudonym Baoshi? , Shuixi, Longquan... Which famous scholar is that?"

He promises that he will only know what he is enjoying, and he will never tell anyone else—except his father, Eunuch Gao!

However, Cui Xie only smiled mysteriously: "It's not time to talk about it yet." When the adults assembled their articles in their later years, they might have included them. It's just that they don't want to take off the vest themselves. When he gets old, he will write a memoir or something, and he will be buried with him in the future to help future historians decipher it.

After all, Gao Baihu didn't ask the author, but considering that his Zaju came out before, and the comics had to be drawn according to the big boats and guns he made, he was still a little proud, and went back to check the stage with a new song.

It doesn't matter if you can't find a talent who can write books, it's enough to find a talent who can write articles and praise him!

The new play has swept the entire capital, and those who are close to Cui Xie can go to watch a few shows for nothing. Only the two young masters of the Cui family are still serving their grandmother in the countryside, waiting for their old father to return, and have no chance to participate in this grand event.

Although the two elementary school students were separated from his eyes and ears, they still could not escape their studies.

Ever since they sent Cui Ju and his grandmother to the countryside, Cui Xie has been worried that the selfish and intolerant old gentleman will teach badly the child he had managed to train him, so he wrote a letter in his own hand and offered him a generous gift to invite his actual mentor, Lin Mr. teach them.

- Now Mr. Lin is the first teacher in Qian'an. Those who can study with him are either rich or expensive, and they are also good students with good career prospects. If it weren't for him being Mr. Lin's most proud disciple, at the level of Brother Heng, he wouldn't even accept it, and it would be useless to give him any gifts!

Cui Xie's letter to them didn't mention the prosperity of Beijing at all, and there was always only the word "encouraging study", telling them not to be afraid of hard work, and to go back to Qian'ancheng every day to study with Mr. Lin. After-school homework was the same as the articles left by the eldest brother. No less, I have to send him a copy every few days.

Two elementary school students are struggling in the countryside. It was planned that he would be able to return to Beijing after the one-year filial piety period, but he did not make it to Beijing, and his father went to prison. After he came out of prison, he was sent to the border gate Yulin Nano, and he did not return for half a year. Their eldest brother was unable to leave as an official in the Hanlin Academy, and the two young had no choice but to serve their grandmother in Qian'an.

It wasn't until the sixth day of September, when the Jinyiwei atmosphere in Beijing had reached Qian'an, Cui Ju finally got news. However, the body is lingering, the legs are weak and difficult to move, and there is an alchemist with a fairy style beside him, saying that he can cure the disease, and he can't do it for a moment.

The servant Cui Xie sent to welcome him delivered a letter to the Cui Mansion in the capital, but he couldn't bring the master who had been ordered back to his place of origin to take him back to the mansion. .

Master Cui's illness is unusual.

In the imperial prison, he was attacked by the cold and damp air, and when he hit the dozens of boards at the border gate, his skin was ripped apart, and his muscles and bones were injured. But when it was time for meticulous recovery and treatment, they had no money on their bodies, so they had to rely on pawnshops all the way to sell things and come back hungry.

It was a long journey of fifty days, but it took more than three months to come back. When I got home, everyone lost about ten pounds, and Mr. Cui was so weak that he couldn't even stand up. The Cui family went to meet their family members in batches after batches, and there were several groups of people who did not recognize them when they met opposite them, which delayed the rescue of Master Cui for several days.

Fortunately, they were lucky in the middle. They met a Taoist priest who was wandering around, and gave Master Cui a golden pill, which made him ruddy and full of energy. The man also told Master Cui about the past and present, the karma of cause and effect, and said that he had a hurdle in his life. He only had to cultivate himself for a few years in order to support his merits, and he would be rewarded with the merits of his descendants if he crossed it.

This Taoist priest straddles both Taoism and Buddhism, and has excellent eloquence. He speaks about the accumulation of merit and feathers as if within reach, so that Mr. Cui believes in it, regardless of his predicament that he can't even eat, and wants to keep him there. worship at home. When the Cui family finally recognized their group, the Taoist priest had become an inseparable master by the master's side, and followed them to Qian'an.

Cui Xie looked at the manners and words of the Taoist priest in the letter, and subconsciously felt that he was the undercover agent Xie Ying had placed beside Cui Ju, and his eyes could not help turning to the Xie residence two blocks away.

But because there are family members standing in front of them, it is inconvenient for people to go there, so they can only tell them: "Master has a high-ranking scholar by his side, so our family must not neglect him. Give him some money to make clothes for him, buy food, and let him live with the master. Together, the two young masters will move to a farther yard. The rest of the people there don't have to hurry to come back, it is important to serve the old lady, the master, and watch the two young masters read for me. "

Also... The family has raised Taoist priests. This year, Qingzhutang has to print a few Taoist scriptures and sell them.
