"The moon also meets as scheduled, and the clear light makes this night. The sound of fragrance cries like a jade phoenix, and the cheeks of flowers are stamped with red tide. I play Ruan Xian Ruan, and also play the flute Shi Xiao. The soul of pity for the king is like water, and the clouds and rain cannot be moved."
The Qinhuai River at night was full of painted boats. Ruan Dacheng stood on the balcony of one of them, raising his glass to the river with blurred light and shadow. As he finished reciting a poem, a deep flute song also happened to stop, and the aftertaste was especially reflected in the light and shadow.
Circulation. Li Lihua put down the flute, swayed her lotus steps and walked close to Ruan Dacheng, "Sir, it is true that he was a Jinshi. In a moment, he wrote a poem, and he was also literary and romantic when he joked about it. He was unbearable. At this time, he disliked the slave family's old age and wanted to
New people replace old ones
Now that I'm here, do you want Gu Mei to come to this boat instead?"
Ruan Dacheng hugged her and laughed, "Although Gu Mei's beauty is the most beautiful in Qinhuai, and she is called the Hengbo Fairy, her name is not worthy of the name. Fairy is just a fairy, how can she compare with Lihua's various charms, 'The sound of fragrance cries, the jade phoenix, the flowers
Her cheeks are red, let me ask her what kind of eyebrows she has."
Li Lihua smiled charmingly and fiddled with Ruan Dacheng's big beard, "I don't mean it. If you miss Gu Mei, just think of Gu Mei. If your husband has a script, he will give it to Gu Mei first. It is said everywhere that she is the best in Nanqu, which is the best among Qin Huai's.
You probably gave me the reputation." Ruan Dacheng could not help but Li Lihua fiddled with his beard, but still denied it, "Gu Mei's reputation has become famous, and Meilou has become more and more popular. The more money you make is yours. After all, you get it, okay? I will have it next time.
When a new play was put on stage, Hengbo was invited to sing first, but it was not
It’s because I like to take care of my eyebrows.”
Li Lihua said lazily, "Sir, that's what you said. Not everyone likes Gu Mei. So Wu Changshi invited him to dinner tonight, so he booked the Yumian Building with the slave family and deliberately avoided the Mei Building. If he didn't like Gu Mei,
Why should it be like this?" "Lihua has his own way of looking at people, but he is biased against Wu Changshi. He is not like those yellow-mouthed brats in Fushe who insist on hanging around women. Among the thousands of friends in Fushe, Zhang Pu
The most important thing is Wu Changshi. He is a well-mannered and shameless person. Wu Changshi is responsible for all the activities that Zhang Pu asks for. What is he running around for? Is it for Zhang Pu? I'm afraid.
It’s not obvious that he is looking for a career in officialdom. How can a person who is devoted to business be obsessed with fashion?
Chen, in the eyes of such people, even Gu Mei, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Xiangjun are no different from ordinary women. They avoid Mei Lou just because they are afraid of being known by other people in the society, and it doesn't matter whether they like Gu Mei or not."
Li Lihua put down his beard and put his arms around Ruan Dacheng's neck. "Why don't you concentrate on plotting your comeback? Instead of spending time with this promiscuous girl from your slave family, you have no intention of pursuing an official career?" Ruan Dacheng laughed loudly and gently pinched Li Lihua's face.
"Li Lihua, who is so famous in Qinhuai, can't be described by the word "fengchen". I know Lihua through play, and make friends through poetry. They share the same path and have the same aspirations. Whether they enter an official career or not, they all depend on it.
I know you intimately."
Li Lihua looked at Ruan Dacheng with charming eyes, "It's okay to be close friends, but it seems that the slave family and the husband not only make friends through play, but also make friends through poems. Do they also have friends in the boudoir?" "The joy of the boudoir is a normal human relationship.
Lihua has many charms, but I am not well-educated. I am motivated by emotion, but I cannot stop at etiquette. I can only be free and do as I please." Ruan Dacheng looked serious, "Besides, I have another deep meaning in meeting friends in Lihua's boudoir.
"
Seeing this, Li Lihua asked curiously, "What other profound meaning can there be between men and women?"
Ruan Dacheng leaned close to Li Lihua's ear, paused for a moment and then said, "It proves that I am not an eunuch."
Li Lihua let out a puff, let go of Ruan Dacheng and held her stomach and laughed. After a while, she stood up and looked at Ruan Dacheng with a smile, "If anyone asks about it in the future, I will definitely help you as a witness."
Ruan Dacheng chuckled and joked with Li Lihua for a while, and then said in deep thought, "Wu Changshi came to see me, or gave Zhang Pu instructions, but it was just that the imperial court wanted to take action against the restoration of society."
"Wu Changshi was very loyal to Zhang Pu."
"Loyal to Zhang Pu? If Zhang Pu does fall, Wu Changshi will definitely be the first to add insult to injury... Speaking of which, considering Wu Changshi's character, he would not know if he came to see me."
Li Lihua thought about it, reached for the wine glass in Ruan Dacheng's hand, and took a sip. "Sir, I'm not going to add insult to injury, but if the emperor is determined to restore the society, how can you help him?" "Who said? The emperor has made up his mind. If he really made up his mind, Zhang Pu would have lost his head in the West Market of the capital. What did I do when I saw Wu Chang again? He came here to follow my path, so as to understand the emperor's true thoughts. to determine countermeasures
, it just so happens that I also think so."
Li Lihua looked at Ruan Dacheng with gleaming eyes for a moment, and said jokingly, "Then the slave family will know who they are going to find through you. Sir, he also said that he is not an eunuch." "Fucking eunuch." Ruan Dacheng let go of his hand and walked from the side. He picked up another wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, "No one in the civil or military circles in the court wants to have a relationship with your husbands. They are all eunuchs. In order to have someone of your own in the palace, what happened to the people in Donglin, you have no choice but to do it." Think about it
Unexpectedly, you have the nerve to call me a eunuch. You are really shameless. Compared with Dong Lin, those kids in Fushe are really kids."
"What kind of thing did Dong Lin do?"
Ruan Dacheng took a breath and said, "I can't tell you these things in detail. I feel a little angry when talking about them."
Li Lihua looked at Ruan Dacheng's face carefully and said, "Sir, if you are not angry about what Qingliu did, why bother to please Fushe?"
"Who is Fushe?" Li Lihua couldn't help but be startled. Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but chuckle. He let go of Li Lihua and walked directly to the red railing of the boat. In front of him, there were boats intertwined in the river. The sound of wooden oars paddling in the silk and bamboo was accompanied by the water. The patterns are intertwined, and the reflected lights are among them
Ruan Dacheng looked at the buildings on both sides of the Qinhuai River in a daze. "There are many people in Fushe. If there are many people, they will not have the same thoughts. Not everyone listens to Zhang Pu, and it is not that there are people who want to replace them. They Some people want to prevent me from coming back to life, and some people
I want to rely on me to help guide the way forward, so anyone can be a Fushe, and anyone can be a Fushe." Li Lihua followed and walked behind Ruan Dacheng, "People in the Fushe naturally admire Mr.'s talent, but it may not be useful. Just like you. As for the Ruan family opera troupe, if the scholars of Fushe want to see the opera, you send the troupe there. Zhou Zhong and others clapped their hands in admiration when they watched, and after watching, they were still excited.
"I scold you for being talented but not moral." "You are a white-eyed wolf among scholars. There are so many people who scold me, and I am afraid that he will be a few idiots." Ruan Dacheng said in a slow tone, "It's enough to calm down with those people. , as long as you don’t mind my business, that’s fine. I’ve already set up a community in Nanjing.
When heroes gather together to talk about war and swordsmanship, and there are old friends who help each other, there will be a time when the heavens will listen to them." "The hero is the first to recommend General Wang Zhenji." Li Lizhen tilted her head and looked at Ruan Dacheng and said jokingly, "Mr. sang the song to Wang Zhenji. Poetry, tsk tsk, is really the culmination of Mr. Wang’s literary talent. I still remember a few lines in it, “Why are there so many yellow scarves and white feathers?
The Central Plains swept away the gun atmosphere. The Supreme Lin Pavilion treats each other, and works hard, General Wang.'" After saying this, Li Lihua covered her mouth and smiled. Ruan Dacheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lihua, please stop making fun of me. I occasionally write some random works, no.
If you want to be known, everyone knows it. A smile from a beautiful woman is enough. But this reminds me of my previous experience in Tong.
"In old times in the city, I wrote a poem called "Sha Tin Barley Ripe" to criticize Zaoli, but it happened that Pang Xiaoyou, who was Zaoli, saw it, and I was as embarrassed as ever."
Li Lihua looked at Ruan Dacheng sideways, "You think of him as Pang Xiaoyou, but others may not recognize you as their old friend."
Ruan Dacheng said indifferently, "I heard that my little friend has encountered some troubles in Nanjing recently." "There are people from the Nanjing Internal Defense and the Southern Military Department who are interested in Baishuntang." Li Lihua left Ruan Dacheng for a moment, stroked her hands and hung them in front of her eyes.
hair, "This Pang Shoubei has always been with Fushe. He was clearly still in Nanjing last time, but when you went to see him, he said that he had returned to An
Qing, I just want to avoid you, an eunuch." "After all, he is a kid. He was only seventeen in the seventh year of Chongzhen, and he is only nineteen this year. This young man is very talented and does weird things.
, not to mention that "The Female Consort" was sung in Nandu, which was the prosperity of Liyuan in recent years. Who would have thought that in two years, he went from being a Zaoli to Anqing garrison, leading troops to rescue Yingtian. There is a Fushe that
The Times claimed that everyone in Nanjing knew him and had a reputation with the emperor. If he wanted to join our group to talk about military affairs and swordsmanship, he would be a hundred times better than Wang Zhenji." Ruan Dacheng sighed, "It's just in the officialdom.
He probably listened to the opinions of scholars such as Fang Yizhi and Wu Yingji, and became more familiar with me. Some things cannot be blamed on him, as he is in charge of the Anqing garrison.
Shi Kefa and Zhang Guowei were both in Donglin, and Fushe seemed to be of the Donglin lineage, so he thought that the temple in Fushe was a real Bodhisattva, which is common sense."
"Then Jiang Chen is also a scholar from Tongcheng, and he is also a young man. How did he know that he would be friends with you in private?" "Jiang Chen is the one who gave advice to Zhang Pu, so he naturally knows more things. The officialdom is not clearly divided, but on the contrary
It's like thousands of rivers flowing together. How many people can distinguish each other? Pang Xiaoyou was born in Zaoli, so naturally there is no one to guide him in the county government. Now people like Wu Yingji, Fang Yizhi, Sun Lin and others are coming and going all day long. These things
Someone told him that I originally wanted to give him a heads up, but he made the wrong move. Compared to Wu Changshi, he was on a par with him. But I still valued him.
, this person cannot be treated with common sense." At this time, the boat arrived at Banqiao, and Yumian Tower was already in sight. Banqiao area is the place with the highest concentration of brothels on the Qinhuai River, but each one is built near the water and has its own dock.
You don’t have to go through the road to Huafang. You can take the waterway to avoid the crowds and clutter the eyes.
Privacy was guaranteed. Li Lihua turned around and sorted things out and said, "Although my husband and I are good friends, business matters belong to business. People in the yamen want Baishuntang. Your little friend's reputation is quite big, and they don't know the details yet.
, I only know that it is related to Fushe, and I also know that the slave family has shares in it. Now that Fushe is weak, I want to let the slave family test it. It is best to swallow it up, as more members of the slave family will appear. If you talk about the item
, the slave family cannot be the master. Whether Pang Xiaoyou can stay in Baishun Hall depends on whether he can
Go to the temple door."
As the boat docked to the left, Ruan Dacheng cleaned his beard and said, "A young man has no one to guide him. Taking more detours is also a way of gaining experience. His future fortune will depend on his understanding."
The two of them walked down the balcony, waited for the boat to stop, and then boarded the pier, which was the riverside courtyard of Yumiange's home. There were no outsiders on the way.
When he walked through the garden and entered the hall, Wu Changshi, who was born in the late Qing Dynasty, was already waiting in front of the door. He respectfully held the junior ceremony and said, "When Wu Changshi was born late, I met Mr. Ruan."
Ruan Dacheng responded enthusiastically, "It's been a long time coming." Wu Changshi said with real respect on his face, "Last time I said goodbye to my husband in a hurry. I was rehearsing my husband's masterpiece "Munihe" with great concentration in Shaoyuan. I already felt that
The standard of Ruan's troupe is about 70 or 80%. This time I came to Nanjing to watch Mr. Ruan's troupe again, and I felt that I was disappointed.
The aura of a play can be lost even if it is lost by a thousand miles. This time I seek to see you, sir, just to ask for your advice." Ruan Dacheng waved his hand, "I am overly humbled. The Zhuting Opera Troupe is known as one of the three great masters in Jiangnan. I have always been one of the most important.
What I admire is that the troupe always emphasizes singing rather than drama, and I don’t agree with it. For example, I felt the same way when I wrote the lyrics for "Munihe"
"You always have to feel the unyieldingness of Xiao Siyuan's injustice in order to fully appreciate it." Wu Changshi looked astonished, Xiao Siyuan was the male protagonist in "Munihe", and he naturally knew that Ruan Dacheng was taking the opportunity to whitewash himself.
, continued diligently, "I see, sir, my words suddenly made me think of Xiao Siyuan.
I heard that there are two scripts of "Muni He". I wonder which one is better in rehearsal. Can you give me some advice, sir?" Ruan Dacheng did not answer hastily, but observed Wu Chang, and he found that there were indeed two versions of "Muni He".
, one was performed for Qingliu, and the three characters in the opening were Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao. In the other script, the same
The roles were changed to Niu, Xing, and Pei, three eunuchs who were used to please the eunuchs. Most of the people who were involved in the rebellion back then were not eunuchs, but their characters were all classified as eunuchs, including Ruan Dacheng. In the Wuchang period
He is a Fushe scholar, so his character design is naturally clear. He was supposed to rehearse Cheng Yaojin’s version, but he deliberately used two versions.
Differences, to test whether Ruan Dacheng intends to introduce the resources of the Eunuch Party to him.
Ruan Dacheng pondered for a moment and then said, "If you are willing, you can act in both plays. Let's see which one is better and which one is worse. You can make your own decision." The two looked at each other for a moment and smiled at the same time.
, at this sensitive moment in the political dispute, he had already tried his best to understand that both sides were willing to cooperate. Wu Changshi bowed again and said, "It's a pity that the troupe was not brought with him this time. The students are lacking in talent. If
If you still can’t get the point after sir’s advice, please ask him to go to Jiaxing to give you some advice in person.”
What this means is that if Wuchang fails to reach an agreement this time, Ruan Dacheng will be invited to Jiaxing, perhaps to meet with Zhang Pu.
Ruan Dacheng immediately answered, "I have long heard that the Shaoyuan Garden was created by Zhang Nanyuan. There is a gathering of culture and culture on the bank of Yuan Lake. I have been yearning for it for a long time."
Shaoyuan is the garden of Wuchang Dynasty. It is located on the bank of Yuan Lake (Note: Nanhu Lake) in Jiaxing and is also called Zhuting. When Wu Changshi heard about it, he knew that Ruan Dacheng also wanted to meet Zhang Pu. The location was chosen in Zhuting to avoid the eyes and ears of others.
Although Wen Tiren's attack on Fushe seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River, the core of the struggle is in the capital. It will become a decisive battle between various forces. At present, Tiqi is heading south, and Wen Tiren has the advantage. Fushe is weak on the left and right, but it is still in the opening stage.
,
What will happen in the end is still unknown, it is the time when the major forces are entangled and trading with each other.
The short conversation was all about drama. Li Lihua and the maid next to them had no idea, but Ruan Dacheng and Ruan Dacheng had already reached a consensus on cooperation. The following is the details.
"Sir, if you are willing to enjoy the glory, the bamboo pavilion will be full of radiance, and students will be satisfied." Wu Changshi bowed and said, "Sir, please go upstairs to discuss in detail." Ruan Dacheng cupped his hand and said, "I'm welcome."
