Chapter 141 Scholar is available

"who?!"

Zhu Cilang was really shocked, Chen Yuanyuan...

One of the eight beauties of Qinhuai, later Wu Sangui was angry at the beauties and said that she was talking about her. A woman who influenced the direction of history was something that no one expected.

However, this matter is actually doubtful. These literati always like to blame women for the crime of destruction of the country. For example, Yang Yuhuan under Mawei Slope, and Chen Yuanyuan who was suffering.

Chen Yuanyuan had a rough life. She was born in a peddler's family. Her mother died early and was raised by her uncle's family. She was named "Chen". She lived in Taohuawu, Suzhou. She was a clerical student, Liyuan, and was a famous master in Wuzhong. The opera artist Youxitang "still met him" when she was young.

Chen Yuanyuan is both beautiful and artistic, and is famous in Jiangzuo. She has been smart since childhood and is stunning in the countryside. When the valley in Jiangnan was not in full swing, her uncle who valued profit and was less righteous sold Yuanyuan to Suzhou Liyuan, and was good at performing Yiyang dramas.

When he first appeared on the stage, Yuanyuan played the matchmaker in "The West Chamber". He was as beautiful as a flower, as clouds emerged from the mountains, the sound of orioles was silenced, and the six horses were raised. The audiences under the stage were all focused and held their breath, fascinated by the demons. Chen Yuanyuan was "leisurely and elegant, with a generous forehead", and was handsome and elegant. Every time he performed, he was bright and outstanding, and was the only one at that time. "The audience was cut off for his soul."

The viewer's soul was cut off. In just six words, Chen Yuanyuan's charming look and her geisha were vividly revealed on the paper.

The down-and-out scholar in front of him actually gave up the imperial examination in the capital for Chen Yuanyuan. It can be seen that this woman is really charming and even a scholar is fascinated by it.

"Dare you ask me about my brother, the name of Gao?" Zhu Cixuan asked with his hands.

The down-and-out scholar replied: "I'm here You Tong, I dare to ask you if you are..."

"This is my Master Zhu." Meng Fanchao next to him found that the scholar did not seem to have any malice, so he relaxed his vigilance and introduced him.

This scholar named You Tong had seen Zhu Cilang. Zhu Cilang nodded slightly, and suddenly he was shocked: "You, are you You Tong, You Xitang?"

The scholar was stunned: "This is indeed called You Tong, who is Xitang?"

Zhu Cilang slapped his forehead and forgot it. At this time, the character You Tong's name was Zhan Cheng, Yi Tong Ren. He called himself Sanzhongzi and Hui'an in his early years. In his later years, he changed his name to Genzhai, Xitang Lao Ren, He Qi Lao Ren, Meihua Taoist, etc.

This guy is a famous opera artist in the late Ming Dynasty. He did see Chen Yuanyuan. Unexpectedly, You Tong couldn't forget him when he saw him. It seemed that Chen Yuanyuan was indeed a bit magical. Zhu Cilang frowned: "But, I said, Brother You, you are addicted to women and do not achieve fame, and your children have a long love and heroic spirit. This is your fault. A man and a man stand in the world, and he should stand up to the sky and the earth. His literary talent can determine the country and his military can maintain peace. Only then should he be a man!"

When Zhu Cilang was snatched away, You Tong's face turned red and shameless. He bowed deeply to Zhu Cilang: "Young brother is right, but I'm awake today, but I regret it too late."

Zhu Cilang waved his hand: "It's not too late for a prodigal son to turn back. As long as you can avoid being trapped by women, you are working hard to improve and you will definitely go to high school next time."

After hearing this, You Tong nodded repeatedly. Perhaps the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou also felt that the scholar seemed to be a little literary, so he said to You Tong: "Brother Tai, it is not feasible to come to our small shop to have a tycoon meal. However, there is also a rule for the small shop. If Brother Tai can leave your ink on my wall of writing, whether it is calligraphy or poetry, as long as it can be famous in the capital, the small shop will be free of charge."

You Tong looked at a white wall behind him, which was written with poems and songs from celebrities. Some poems are arrogant, tactful, grand, magnificent, worried, angry, or down-and-out. Some poems are similar to their own artistic conception, and they are all cynical lyrics.

At this moment, You Tong pondered for a moment, took the ink pen given by the shopkeeper, and wrote a poem on the wall of writing, which said:

My brother conquers Liaodong and dies in the border city.

Now I went to the capital, but my love was lost and my fame was lost.

Today, I was hungry and the food on the road was not small.

This trip is three thousand miles away, so how can this body be protected!

The cold valley is pillowing yellow sand, and the ghost crys tobacco.

I am sad that my wife is in the family and hope to break up my old family.

How could I get a righteous man and burn this masterless corpse?

He leads his lonely soul back and bears his bones back.

This is a poem full of compassion, which roughly means: My brother went to Liaodong to resist Jiannu and died in the border area.

I went to the capital to take the exam today, but lost my merit and fame for my children's love.

Nowadays, there is a famine all over the world, and there is no much food and rice along the way.

Looking ahead, there is still a long journey ahead, how can you return to your hometown safely?

The cold bones in the deserted sand make people lament, and ghosts cry in the weeds.

The wife at home was sad day and night, and the two old men in the high hall were missing.

How could I meet a chivalrous man with pity on this unknown corpse?

Lead this lonely soul back to his hometown and carry the bones back home. (Note, this is actually an anonymous poem in the Sui Dynasty, for reference only.)

Zhu Cilang was silent. The shopkeeper didn't know what to say. He just silently took the pen from You Tong: "Good poems, good poems, the gentleman is very talented, and the shop can be exempted from the order."

In the novel "Yu Zhongju's poem to meet the emperor", Yu Liang, a scholar from Chengdu, went to the capital to take the exam, but unfortunately lost his reputation in Zhongshan. At this time, he was empty and had a meal with others every day. He was very ashamed. He originally planned to have a meal of King of Kings wine in Fenglelou, a large restaurant in the capital, and wrote an untitled resentment lyrics, and then hanged himself. Unexpectedly, Ci Zhang's talent moved the Emperor who visited the privately, and appointed him as the Grand Guard of Chengdu, and gave him a thousand taels of platinum to return home in glory.

Today, You Tong met the emperor, but the current crown prince. Zhu Cixuan bowed to You Tong and said, "Brother, you are really literary. I never thought that he was also a man who was worried about the country and the people. Let's do this, stay in this restaurant, and the court will pay attention to you in the future."

You Tong was stunned. He didn't know what Zhu Cixuan meant. Sun Wangcai took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper: "From today, all the food and drinks this brother's house in the store will be included by our son."

When Sun Wangcai said this, Zhu Cixuan and Meng Fanchao had already walked out of the restaurant. Sun Wangcai threw the money to the shopkeeper, bowed to You Tong, and followed him.

The rest, the shopkeeper in Zuixian Tower and You Tong looked at each other. Where did this Mr. Zhu come from?

They don’t know why Zhu Cilang is from, but it must be related to the court. Maybe he is a big shot like a prince or a relative, otherwise he wouldn’t be so imposing.

When Zhu Cixuan left the restaurant, the sun was already shining in the east. It was bright and there were already people walking in the streets.

Zhu Cilang secretly cried out something wrong: "Go away quickly and return to the palace, don't be known by your father and mother."
