Chapter 609 May all lovers in the world be married

"The West Chamber" is indeed very famous. It is not only a drama, but also a lot of film and television adaptations.

It is a zaju created by Wang Shifu, a very famous opera writer during the Yuan Dynasty. It was probably written during the Yuan Zhen and Dade periods of the Yuan Dynasty, which was around 1,295 to 1,307 AD.

In fact, "The West Chamber" is abbreviated, and the complete title is "Cui Yingying Waits for the Moon in the West Chamber", which roughly tells such a story.

With the help of his maid, Ms. Zhuangniang, the scholar Zhang Sheng and Miss Prime Minister Cui Yingying broke through the many obstacles of Sun Feihu, Cui's mother, Zheng Heng and others, and finally got married.

This story may not be very distinctive in today's era, but in the Yuan Dynasty, the whole story has a strong anti-feudal ethics.

Wang Shifu wrote about the desire for love in ancient times, the uncontrollable and justified and reasonable love and desire, and the conflict between the wishes of young people in ancient times and the will of elders under feudal ethics. The whole play mainly expresses the view of love that wishes lovers in the world to finally get married.

But in fact, this view of love was just a beautiful wish in most cases in ancient times.

The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers.

These two short sentences made it almost impossible for young people in ancient times to finally get married with rich people.

Even in some dynasties and periods, "The West Chamber" is still a banned book. For example, in "Dream of Red Mansions", it is said that "The West Chamber" is a banned book. This shows the oppression of feudal ethics in ancient times on young people's free love and even ideals.

But then again, even in today's era, not all lovers in the world can finally get married.

Among them, there are still many lovers who are hindered by parents, family and friends who are not together in the end.

In other words, the concept of love that the West Chamber wants to express and expect in "The West Chamber" still cannot be fully realized even after hundreds of years.

Not to mention the other person, wasn’t Chen Jing and Kong Xue more or less hindered by their parents because of the age gap at the beginning? Even if this obstacle is not really big.

But if Chen Jing was not that outstanding and could not be recognized by Kong Wenli and Zhou Huimei at that time, it would not be so easy for him and Kong Xue to get to where they are today.

So, it is such a rare and beautiful thing that lovers finally get married.

At this moment, looking at "Zhang Sheng" and "Cui Yingying" on the stage, Chen Jing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At this time, Kong Xue also whispered and popularized the plot of "The West Chamber" with Shen Jing. After listening to it, the latter couldn't help but say, "Does lovers finally get married? I didn't expect that the ancients also had such expectations."

As he spoke, Shen Jing actually thought of Chen Jing and Kong Xue in her heart, and secretly gave Chen Jing a thumbs up: "What a little Chen, this is too romantic."

Even Shen Jing thought of it, and there was no need to say much about the person involved Kong Xue. She turned to look at Chen Jing beside her, looking at the handsome face that was so close to her. Some happy scenes that the two of them would never forget in their lifetime flashed through her mind.

"Xiao Chen~ Thank you." Kong Xue suddenly came to Chen Jing's ear and said softly.

"Hmm?" Chen Jing was slightly stunned, came to his senses, and asked in confusion: "Sister Xue, why are you thanking me?"

Kong Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for not giving up in the past." That's why we are finally married now. She didn't say this sentence, but just kept it in her heart and felt the sweet taste slowly penetrated into her heart.

Chen Jing heard this and said, "I'm not a fool, if I retreat after a little difficulty, then..." As he said that, he lowered his voice to the point where only Kong Xue could hear it, and continued, "Why is the beautiful sister who is so fragrant that she is home?"

Kong Xue's fair cheeks immediately flushed and she said angrily: "What are you saying?"

The couple's whispers inevitably attracted the curious attention of Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng, and his wife beside them. Although they didn't know what they were saying, they both turned their eyes to them.

Kong Xue became even more shy.

"Cough, watch the show, watch the show." Chen Jing coughed awkwardly, changing the subject.

The selection of farewell to Changting in "The West Chamber" is not particularly long, and it ends in just twenty minutes.

Although young people nowadays can not appreciate this art form, everyone also finds it vivid and interesting, and they applaud, which is like thunder.

However, what surprised everyone present was that after the selection, "Zhang Sheng" and "Cui Yingying" did not leave the stage, but instead took out a red hydrangea from the side.

"Everyone, I believe everyone knows that the expectation I want to express in "The West Chamber" is that I hope that lovers in the world will eventually get married. Today I saw many young couples coming to the scene, so I want to give you a blessing and surprise." "Cui Yingying" said softly and happily on the stage.

Of course, everyone must know what she said, because she was probably taking it for granted, but this did not prevent the guests present from being interested in being blessed by the blessings in her words.

"Here you." Chen Jing's heart moved slightly when she heard this, and then looked at Chen Jing and Kong Xue.

On the stage, the 'Zhang Sheng' also said: "Did you see the red hydrangea in our hands? After a while, Xiaosheng and 'Cui Yingying' threw the red hydrangea off the stage. In the end, if any couple got our red hydrangea, they would receive blessings and surprises from the lovers who finally got married, "Zhang Sheng" and 'Cui Yingying'."

When everyone heard this, they all became interested, especially the young couple, who found this matter very interesting, so they cheered and shouted.

"Okay, throw it down quickly."

“Yes, yes, hurry up.”

"Husband, I want to grab it all."

Seeing this, 'Zhang Sheng' and 'Cui Yingying' looked at each other, then they quickly looked at Chen Jing and Kong Xue who were closest to each other, then turned around and shouted: "Are you all ready?"

Under the stage, Chen Jing also stood up at the right time and said, "Sister Xue, see that I grabbed the red hydrangea, the blessings and surprises are ours."

Kong Xue didn't think much, but just thought it was fun, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she said with a smile: "Okay, come on, come on."
