Early the next morning, Chen Kai rushed to Li Yu's house again. This was agreed yesterday, because Chen Kai wanted to ask Li Yu for advice on some literary matters, and he was not planning to live in Hangzhou permanently, so

Frequent visits are inevitable.

Li Yu's family was happy about this move, because Chen Kai would not come empty-handed. But Li Yu, every time he interacted with Chen Kai, the more he felt that his current living standard was low, and this mentality was

It became more and more serious, and within a few days, he could no longer tolerate it.

A few days later, at the end of the month, Chen Kai visited again for the first time. After chatting about poetry for a while, Chen Kai mentioned that he listened to the song "The Peony Pavilion" yesterday and occasionally felt that Li Yu's talent lies in

Poetry is also a person of deep emotion and nature. If he can work hard in this area, he may not be able to become another Tang Xianzu.

Tang Xianzu lived in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and his literary reputation was extremely prosperous. After the fermentation of time, his works were also universally praised by the general public. Chen Kai compared this, and Li Yu was modest. However, for poetry

Literary talent has always been what he is most proud of in his life, or what he relies on, and Chen Kai's words have already aroused his thoughts.

"To be fair to Fufu, Brother Yu has indeed written a legend recently."

"Can I take a look?"

First, he cut off the nickname of his adopted son as a nickname, and now even uses Chen Yonghua's pseudonym. Chen Kai's shamelessness can be said to be at its peak. When he heard that Li Yu had written a legend, he was excited from the inside out.

To hide it, in Li Yu's eyes, he was extremely happy. He was happy that it was hard to find a close friend, even if there was a huge gap between this close friend and him.

"There is nothing wrong with oneself."

After saying that, Li Yu found a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Chen Kai's hand. However, when he saw the name of the book, the excitement in Chen Kai's chest became even worse, to the point where it seemed a little too much if he didn't suppress it.

past the point.

"Lianxiangban, this name has some meaning."

Opening the book, the text comes out: The true color has never been jealous of the color, the true talent can only understand the talent. Things are not the same, they guess each other, and the reason is so ridiculing. Although the jealousy loses to the woman, the infatuation also makes the skirt hairpin. It will turn into jealousy.

The love fetus is not an ordinary idiot.

Seeing this, Chen Kai has no doubt that he is there. Next, he reads carefully, breaks down the title, the beginning of the marriage, living together, and visiting, until the "bridal chamber is quiet and spacious, with mandarin ducks and brocade mattresses and hibiscus quilts, and water ripples and gold tents."

"The jade on the left is soft, the fragrance on the right is warm, and the feeling in the middle is smooth. Both of them will prepare for the bear early. Next year, clams will grow on the pearls, and a pair of unicorns will descend."

After looking at it, the sky was already dim, and Chen Kaiyou showed an unfinished expression of interest. He looked up and saw Li Yu's eyes holding the postal mail, as if he was eager for Chen Kai's comments. He immediately stood up and bowed to the end.

"This talent will never be allowed to show off to Tang Linchuan. I intend to provide two thousand taels of silver to help banished Fan to found a theater troupe. This play will show banished Fan's talent in opera to the world."

What does two thousand taels of silver mean? If it is used to raise troops, it is only the cost of forty or fifty soldiers for one year, as well as the daily maintenance costs of rewards. This does not include the cost of weapons, food, etc., let alone

For expenses such as settlement expenses, expeditions, merit rewards, etc., the saying that once a cannon is fired, a thousand taels of gold is obtained, is never wrong.

These two thousand taels of silver are nothing to the army, but to a common man, they are a rare and huge sum of money. Li Yu now lives in poverty, relying on friends for support, and even has to sell taxes to make ends meet. During this period

, he left his footprints and figure in the streets, alleys, theaters, and bookstores of Hangzhou. Through constant contact, observation, and understanding, he discovered that in this prosperous city, everyone from wealthy gentlemen and doctors to ordinary citizens

, I have a strong interest in dramas and novels, so I came up with the idea of ​​writing this legend of Lianxiang Banyi and put it into action.

Selling words to people engaged in interpretation-related industries is his current means of livelihood. Creating a family class is not something he has not thought about, but it is still far away from that goal - after all, from a book writer to a

To be a theater owner or a troupe leader is a leap from proletarian to property owner. Today, he is really out of reach.

Chen Kai's words directly turned what was elusive for him into something within reach. He knew very well that money alone was not enough. There were too many aspects such as connections and venues to consider. But without money, these

Most things are out of reach.

"Fufu, I know you are a generous person, but in this matter, I dare not accept the reward without merit."

"Don't you dare?"

Hearing this, Chen Kai laughed and then said: "Between you and me, the most important thing is the heart-to-heart communication, not the merits or demerits. Even in business, from what I see, money is meant to be spent.

It's just a pile of stones there. If I use it for business, it's nothing more than the profit of goods; if I invest it here, I'll get a lot of things that money can't buy. Whether it's friendship, favor, or even...

When I am banished to a mortal and become famous all over the world, I may be able to use my name to be banished to a mortal to visit the families of high-ranking officials. This is also an investment, a win-win investment!"

"But what if it doesn't go as Fufu expected?"

"No, there's nothing to worry about. There are always risks in business, no matter what you do. I believe in my vision, doesn't Ban Fan believe in your own talent?"

Chen Kai was eloquent and always looked like a wealthy businessman. It is undeniable that Li Yu was already a little moved, but he still hesitated. This was related to his self-confidence that had not yet fully gained momentum, but also because of his experiences, especially those setbacks that had deepened

His sense of doubt about the world and himself.

Seeing this, Chen Kai said earnestly: "Hanfan, you are talented, and you are a genius. Don't bury your talent in such a humble house. Not for others, even if it is just for my sister-in-law.

We know each other well, don’t you want her to live a better life?”

Speaking of which, Li Yuben was not a man who saved money. If it weren't for his wife Xu, whom he often affectionately called Shan's Wife in his writings over the years, who managed the house well, he would have been in such a state of poverty that he would have to beg for food.

After more than 20 years of marriage, the appearance of the young girl gradually began to age, but the mutual affection was always what Li Yu cared about the most.

At this moment, Chen Kai said what he said, Li Yu sighed, stood up and bowed, and accepted the matter. Chen Kai responded accordingly, saying that the investment of these two thousand taels of silver was only the initial stage, and the follow-up

When more money will follow, he should not worry about money issues.

"If we want to put this sweet companion on the screen, uh, on the stage, we first need to buy a troupe, our troupe!"

Many years ago, when Chen Kai was studying, he once saw such a sentence - when the devil stretches out his hand of temptation, its pure image can make angels feel ashamed. At this time, he played exactly such a devil.
