Walking into the expanded Dongcang Grand Theater, according to Chen Luo's instructions, a new second-floor box area has been built here. All the scholars happily walked into the small boxes prepared for each of them, and each of them felt happy.

"No wonder it was said that a theater ticket was enough. It turns out that's the case." A great scholar looked at his precious granddaughter and said with a smile, "Nanny, grandpa is not teasing you, I guarantee that you can go to the theater."

The twenty-eight-year-old girl quickly stepped forward to give her grandfather a gentle pat on the back, and said with a smile: "This is not because grandpa has face!"

"Hahahaha, this is mainly because Marquis Wu gave me this face..." As an old man, what he loves most is the respect of his children. Before the play started, his favorable impression of Chen Luo increased 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. Looking at the round-faced Zhu Hesong, he wondered: "Why were we assigned to a room without anyone asking?"

"What? Brother Jin, do you want to change someone?" Zhu Hesong's face darkened.

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

Zhu Hesong snorted: "You just can't beat me, otherwise you would have beaten me to death."

Jin Helan: Today, we are chatting to death again.



Chen Luo naturally reserved a box for himself. Luo Hongnu went backstage to get busy. Only Yun Siyao and Chen Luo were sitting in the box. Yun Siyao leaned on the window sill and looked around the other boxes. Chen Luo smiled. Said: "Senior sister, are you looking for someone?"

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

"Fang family?" Chen Luo frowned slightly.

"It's okay. We can't change the world in Dongcang City!" Yun Siyao waved his hand and sat back in his seat. Chen Luo thought the same thing. Now that Sima Lie and Yan Baichuan are sitting next to him, what are they afraid of?

"Ethics? Watch "The Romance of the West Chamber", it must be very exciting." Chen Luo suddenly thought.



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

"Brother Du, you are the direct disciple of the Fang family. We are just a side disciple, so naturally you are the leader." A great scholar with a cold face nodded.

"On the day when the martial arts academy opened, I wanted to start a fight, but the barbarian force came and I started to be a bit of a scapegoat. However, all the rituals and music in Dongcang City have collapsed, and I am not happy about it. I am willing to stick with you today." An old-fashioned scholar nodded slightly.

"Martial arts has been established, and we cannot reverse it with our own strength. However, the path of opera has only been established not long ago, and it must be a weak point in the foundation of Chen Luo's holy way. We can use this to criticize it, so as to help the Fang family." Another one A scrawny scholar said.

"Being angry because of not studying, foolish men and women are on par with us, this is the first sin of opera; women show up and appear on the stage, this is the second sin of opera; exaggerating joy, anger, sorrow and joy, stirring up people's desires, this is the third sin of opera ." The last white-faced scholar knocked on the white paper fan in his hand and said disdainfully, "Do you have anything else to add?"

"Wu Xiandi has summarized it very accurately. Let's wait and see if he has any treacherous words in this play of "The Romance of the West Chamber."" The old-fashioned scholar said softly.

At this time, the skinny scholar suddenly said: "This is Dongcang City, and Chen Luo has many supporters. And since Yan Baichuan and Sima Lie are present, I'm afraid we have to think of a good response."

Du Shouzhong smiled contemptuously: "It's just a discussion of Taoism! It's great to suppress and expel us. Do they dare to suppress and kill us? We are doing this to safeguard the Fang family's holy way, and the Fang family will not treat us badly."

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

As soon as these words came out, the box fell silent instantly.

Yan Baichuan, Sima Lie and others would definitely not dare to kill them, let alone those from Qingxuan's Taoist sect. They don't worry about any of this.

But the Dragon Girl and the Mist Beast don't have those worries.

Seeing that everyone was lingering, Du Shouzhong turned his palm and a translucent blue jade medal appeared in his hand. He said in a cold voice: "Everyone, look at what this is?"

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

The Sacred Heart Jade is a treasure that a semi-sage extracts and comprehends from his own holy way. It is generally used to teach his close disciples about his own holy way. It cannot be used by non-great Confucians, so it is very precious. Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, understanding the ways of predecessors will hinder the development of one's own holy path. Therefore, semi-saints will not give the Sacred Heart Jade to great scholars who are expected to become saints.

Seeing the Sacred Heart Jade at this time, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Du Shouzhong.

I originally thought that he was just a disciple of the great scholar of the Fang family, but I didn't expect that he actually got the favor of the half-sage of the Fang family.

Du Shouzhong felt proud when he saw everyone's reaction. Speaking of which, his master was indeed a first-class scholar in the Fang family, but he was not qualified to get the Sacred Heart Jade.

But he gave birth to a wonderful daughter!

Born with a scholarly body, the offspring he will give birth to will definitely have superior talents, far beyond those of "white cranes giving birth to children". This Sacred Heart Jade is the betrothal gift of the Fang family!

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

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

As for the disciple who was his childhood sweetheart, for the sake of his daughter's innocence, he had no choice but to bury him in his own spiritual material field.

Du Shouzhong said calmly: "If Long Nu and Wu Li really take action, I will naturally use the Sacred Heart Jade to call out the Holy Way. Even if they lose to Long Nu and Wu Li, there will be enough time for Yan Baichuan and the others to wait until the Holy Power is delayed. Take action to protect me!"

"After all, we are also great scholars!"

The old-fashioned scholar hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "May I ask Brother Du, which discipline does Fang study in the Sacred Heart Jade?"

Du Shouzhong smiled and said: "Li!"

"You can rest assured!"

All the great scholars looked at each other and saw the relaxed look in each other's eyes. He had extensive knowledge, among which etiquette was the strongest. They all smiled: "Brother Du, you're welcome."

"Let's take a look at this scene!"



Over there, the theater door 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 expectantly.

"The Romance of the West Chamber" has a total length of more than 50,000 words. It is a relatively rare full-length work. As one of the four major Chinese classical dramas in the past, it is as famous as "The Peony Pavilion", "The Peach Blossom Fan" and "The Palace of Eternal Life". In addition to its spiritual connotation In addition to the fascinating story, the most important thing is that there are endless classic quotes and brilliant literary talent. This is also the reason why Chen Luo chose this play as the premiere play for Da Ru to watch.

Don't ask why you didn't choose "The Peony Pavilion", just ask that the Three Thousand Miles of Road to Heaven is not worthy.

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

The second book "Cui Yingying Listens to the Night Qin" tells the story of Zhang and Cui falling in love and having 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 deal with Zhang Feihu's threat, she would betroth Cui Yingying to him. Zhang Sheng invited his friend General Du Que, the white horse general, to rescue him, but he was rejected by the old lady afterwards.

The third book "Zhang Junrui's Lovesickness" is the highlight of the whole play. Zhang Sheng fell in love because the old lady refused to marry him and missed Cui Yingying. The matchmaker brought him together so that the two could have a tryst and talk to each other.

The fourth book "Caoqiaodian Meng Yingying" is about the old lady who discovered the affair between the two and tortured the matchmaker. The famous "Torture of Red" comes from here. The matchmaker was eloquent and eloquent, rendering the old lady speechless. In the end, the old lady used her family status as an excuse and asked Zhang Sheng to gain fame before he could marry Cui Yingying. The song "The sky is blue, the ground is yellow, the autumn wind is strong, and the wild geese flying from the north to the south." comes from this book.

The final version of "Zhang Jun Ruiqing's Reunion" tells that Zhang Sheng was the top student in high school, but the old lady was deceived by Zheng Heng's lies, and she wanted to regret the marriage again and marry Cui Yingying to Zheng Heng. In the end, Zhang Sheng arrived in time, exposed the lie, and got married to Cui Yingying. .

Chen Luo looked at the stage. The lively and vivid characters on the stage seemed to have crossed the boundaries of the world and reappeared in front of Chen Luo's eyes with the clear singing...



In the scholar's box.

"The flowers are falling and the water is red, I am filled with sorrows, and I have no words to complain about the east wind!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Kong Tianfang clapped his thigh and exclaimed, "There is such a wonderful sentence in the wedge."

"Falling flowers fell into the water one after another, turning the stream red. So many fallen flowers have so much sorrow that they don't want to leave, silently complaining about the east wind that blew them down." Kong Tianfang sighed, "Sentences like this , even if taken alone, it can be praised all over the world, but it is a pity that it is included in such a drama!"

At this time, the scholar who was sitting next to Kong Tianfang rubbed his thigh that was so painful from being slapped by Kong Tianfang, and said with bared teeth: "Perhaps in the eyes of Wuhou, poems that are spread all over the world are not that valuable!"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the scholars in the box took a breath of air and wanted to refute it, but couldn't.

Think about it, others have been searching for several years, which is just one or two poems. It seems that every time Wu Hou opens his mouth, he always starts with two or three songs.

Looking at the previous generations, only Li Qinglian and Su Poxian were like this.

"Watch a show, watch a show!" Yan Baichuan coughed lightly, "Don't compete with that little monster in literary talent!"

"Compared with age, we still have an advantage!"

Everyone choked.

To put it this way, it seems like I won, but it also seems like I didn’t win.



"The shy flower explains the words, the gentle jade is fragrant." Listening to the new lyrics, Yun Siyao murmured this lyrics, turned his head and glanced at Chen Luo, then turned his eyes and continued to look at the stage.



"Wanting to fight seems to have no good intentions, being passionate but being annoyed by ruthlessness." A great scholar sighed softly, "Another good sentence. It is similar to Su Poxian's "Die Lian Hua".

"Huh? This sentence is also very wonderful, 'Last night I loved the spring breeze at night when the peach and plum blossoms were blooming, and today I am worried about the autumn rain when the sycamore leaves fell'. It describes the Spring and Autumn Period with love. I want to write this sentence into a couplet in the study!"

"Oh? Then don't compete with me for this sentence: 'The spring mood is short and the willow silk is long, and the people are far away in the shade of flowers and the horizon is close'."

"No one can compete with me for saying, 'The shadows of the flowers are overlapping, the fragrance is gentle, the courtyard is deep and the moon is shining brightly'!"

"Don't be in a hurry, there must be some good sentences... huh? Sweet words are warm for three winters, but bad words are hurtful for six months. How wonderful, this sentence is suitable to be written and sent to the censors in the imperial court!"

"Hahahahaha..." The scholars laughed.

"Listen again and again...the moonlight melts into the water, and the flowers are silent in the spring. How can I see the bright soul, but I can't see the man in the moon!" Kong Tianfang wanted to slap his thigh again, but the scholar next door was already on guard and moved his body away. Kong Tianfang Suddenly it was empty.

"Ahem, cough, cough..." Yan Baichuan frowned slightly again, "Can you watch the show carefully? I'll comment on the poems later!"

"I want to watch the plot! Don't talk about poetry with me!"



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

"That's unreasonable!"

"The matchmaker has no dignity!"

"Zhang Sheng is disgraced!"

"Cui Yingying is shameless!"

"He actually made a private decision for life!"

"Dirty lyrics and erotic music! This is obscene lyrics and erotic music!"

Among everyone's anger, no one mentioned the old lady's "broken word"!



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

When Chen Luo wrote "The Romance of the West Chamber", he specially added a bit of content from "The Matchmaker" of the Xun School of Peking Opera to make the image of the matchmaker more rich and three-dimensional.

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

"Ask Zhang Sheng to hide under the chessboard. I will come step by step while you climb step by step. Be brave and swallow your anger and don't be afraid. Follow the little matchmaker and you will see her. It is a romantic story. Listen to the order and don't be alarmed. she!"

Seeing Zhang Sheng's actor actually hiding under the chessboard and following the matchmaker step by step, everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing. Many wealthy ladies looked at the little maid beside them and sighed deeply.

have a look! have a look!

Look at people!

The one next to me is worn out, so why not replace it with another one?
