Chapter 76: Liang Zhu Transforms into a Butterfly
Li Chenan doesn't quite understand Murong He.
This woman is not too beautiful or too smart, the key is that her mind is extremely delicate.
Obviously she had guessed that Song Yuanping died in her own hands, and she even guessed that the roster was in the hands of Li Chenan.
This may be the reason why she has reached such a high level as the upper level of the Three Realms at the age of only seventeen.
Fortunately, she has no intention of making a career in the Ichthyosaurus Society, otherwise she would inevitably become her most powerful opponent.
Fortunately she is a woman and an infatuated woman.
As long as Su Muxin can capture her, she will not pose any threat to him.
After Murong He left, Li Chenan felt a little more relaxed.
Now he has one more job - to enlighten Su Muxin and make him fall in love with Murong He!
And now he has an idea.
"Brother Su," Li Chenan poured a cup of tea for Su Muxin, "Have you heard the story of Liang Zhuhuadie?"
Su Muxin held the tea cup and thought for a few seconds before shaking her head, "Which biography is it from?"
"Some say it comes from "Jinlouzi", and some say it comes from "The Temple of King Yi Zhong". It doesn't matter where it comes from. What matters is the beautiful, sad and touching love story it tells."
Su Muxin looked at Li Chenan with a blank expression, her mind was spinning rapidly, and after some searching, she determined that she had never read those two books, or even listened to them.
"Brother Li is indeed knowledgeable, but...why did he suddenly talk about love stories?"
"There are three great joys in life: meeting an old friend in a foreign country, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time when someone is named on the gold medal list."
"Look, you have been named on the gold medal list. You have come to Guangling City to meet me. You have already seen the second of the three great joys in life. Isn't this just a wedding night left?"
"Brother Su, have you ever wondered why you couldn't get into the temple despite being ranked second in high school?"
Su Muxin was stunned for a moment after being fooled by Li Chenan. He suddenly felt that Li Chenan was very profound, and then he understood why the master could have so many words in common with him.
It turns out that he is not only great at poetry and articles, but even his thoughts and opinions are beyond what I can match.
Does Li Chenan want to remind himself at this moment?
"May I ask Brother Li why that is?"
Li Chen'an sat up straight and said seriously: "The so-called starting a family and establishing a career is that starting a family comes first and starting a career comes later. How can you establish a career before you start a family?"
Su Mu was a little confused, "But my family is poor and I haven't met the woman I like yet. How can I start a family?"
"Look at you. Is this the reason for your poor family? You, Su Muxin, are the first of the four most talented people in Kyoto! You are a very talented person. Isn't it easy to make money?"
Su Muxin felt that it was really not easy to be a shopkeeper in this tavern without even having a monthly salary.
"Also, let me correct you on another wrong point!"
"The so-called woman you like is just your wishful thinking. In my opinion, it is better to find someone who likes you than to find someone you like!"
"If you think about it carefully, if the person you like has no feelings for you at all, even if you marry him back, it will just be an extra tool to warm the bed!"
"You are so kind to her, but she is lukewarm to you... This is like sticking your hot face to someone else's cold ass. Are you willing to live like this? Are you willing to share the same bed with you for decades to come?
Have you been there?"
Su Mu was stunned and felt that Li Chenan's words were very reasonable.
He could imagine such a scene——
He returned home after working hard outside, but her heart was not in this home at all, so the home was still cold, so much so that he had to wait on her to please her.
How to live such a life?
What a nightmare!
"…What should we do?"
"Let me briefly tell you the story of Butterfly Lovers."
"good!"
Li Chenan rolled up his sleeves. Of course he didn't talk about the original version, but made up some random fabrications tailored for Su Muxin——
"It is said that there once was a member named Zhu in Guangling City. He had eight sons and one daughter. His daughter's name was Zhu Yingtai."
"Zhu Yingtai didn't like red clothes and weapons, so she left home when she was five years old to study in a certain sect."
"I have been studying this for twelve years, and I have developed a very good kung fu."
"When she was studying art, she heard some news brought back by her traveling brothers and sisters. Among them, she heard that there was a young man named Liang Shanbo who was very good at poetry and essays, and even got the top prize."
"Zhu Yingtai admired talented people very much, so she secretly fell in love with Liang Shanbo. When she was seventeen, she went down the mountain and looked for the young man named Liang Shanbo."
"Perhaps her sincerity moved God, and she really found Liang Shanbo. However, at this time, Liang Shanbo was from a poor family and had no supporter, and could not enter the officialdom. He was living a hard life in Kyoto without enough food."
"Zhu Yingtai didn't dislike him at all. She stayed by his side. She made money by performing arts, served Liang Shanbo with tea, water, laundry and cooking, and stayed with him through those torturous years."
"Liang Shanbo knew Zhu Yingtai's affection for him, but he felt that he was the number one scholar. This Zhu Yingtai was not beautiful but was also a man in the world, and was by no means a good match for him."
"One day Liang Shanbo was summoned by the Minister of Civil Affairs. The Minister of Civil Affairs has a daughter who behaves inappropriately. Now she is pregnant and must be married off immediately."
"If Liang Shanbo marries his daughter, he will immediately become a county magistrate."
"Liang Shanbo quietly left Zhu Yingtai and became the son-in-law of the Minister of Civil Affairs. He also went to a wealthy county to become a county magistrate."
"When Zhu Yingtai found Liang Shanbo, everything had settled. She was so heartbroken that she jumped into the lake and committed suicide in despair."
"Liang Shanbo still had some conscience. He buried Zhu Yingtai by the lake."
"But Liang Shanbo's life at home is not easy! He tried his best to please his wife, but her wife doesn't like him at all and won't even let him get into bed."
"Only then did he realize how good Zhu Yingtai was to him."
"He went to Zhu Yingtai's tomb to pay homage and cry. He was full of regrets and cried until the sky was dark and the earth was covered with rocks and sand."
"Perhaps God was moved, and suddenly the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and Zhu Yingtai's tomb suddenly opened."
"Liang Shanbo shouted: Yingtai, you are here for your husband!"
"After saying that, he jumped into the tomb. The crack closed. After the rain, the sky cleared. Under a rainbow, two butterflies danced gracefully, chasing and playing up and down, and finally got married."
"This is the story of Butterfly Lovers, do you understand?"
Su Muxin was already deeply moved.
Cuihua on the side burst into tears when she heard this. She even choked up and said, "If I had known this today, why would I do it in the first place!"
"If Liang Shanbo had married Zhu Yingtai earlier, this sad and beautiful story would not have happened! They will definitely grow old together."
Su Muxin suddenly thought of Murong He who had been waiting by his side these days.
He stood up suddenly, "Where's Miss Murong? She said she was leaving yesterday, has she left?"
"She's gone, but if you run faster, you should be able to find her at the Huajian Pavilion three miles outside the east city."
Su Muxin ran away quickly.
Li Chenan laughed.
Su Muxin was deceived and became lame.
This story is unoriginal and I will rewrite it someday when I have time.
