Spring is short, and as soon as March and April pass, the weather becomes hot.

The life in the late Ming Dynasty is really rich and interesting. Jiangnan has abundant and beautiful products, and the imperial court has given the scholars the greatest benefits, so that they can enjoy such a life leisurely.

In the morning, Lin Yanchao would also go for a walk by the river, occasionally sitting under the banyan tree by the riverbank, watching a few old men play games. Lin Yanchao's level of chess in the previous life was not very good, but he had also watched several Chunlan Cups. The chess skills of these old men, Lin Yanchao felt that he could make them three.

Lao Suo saw him as a teenager, and sometimes warmly invited him to play chess. Lin Yanchao usually shirks, but once he couldn't help but go out, and then, there was no more. Therefore, Lin Yanchao decided that he would never play chess in the future.

The game of Lao Suo by the river is really boring, but when I go to the chess club, there are many masters, and many of them are also scholars who are about the same age as Lin Yanchao, and their chess skills are far above themselves. However, the chess club asks for tea money, and people like Lin Yanchao who don't play chess and watch white chess every day are not treated by the boss.

Fortunately, playing chess is just a hobby of Lin Yanchao.

When walking by the river, Lin Yanchao likes to watch others walk birds, and sometimes he will bring fishing gear and a bookbag, go to the shade of the river, throw away the fishing rod, put it there to fish, lie down lazily there, and pick up Cheng Wendaji to endorse there.

One afternoon passed, occasionally the canopy boat passed in front of me, the early summer breeze blew smoky, and the fish did not catch one or two, but Lin Yanchao had the joy of returning with a full load.

You can also have fun at home, you can also mix fish food, feed the big carp in the well, and chat with the shallow. When it rains, Lin Yanchao sits on the patio to read, or goes upstairs to see the white-walled alleys bathed in rainwater.

In addition to the chess club, Lin Yanchao is tired of reading, and the most frequent places he goes to are the bookstore near the Fuxue Palace and the pear orchard by the river.

There will always be a new anthology of current literature in the bookstore, or Cheng Mo above the three-grade official of the imperial court, the prefect of the county, the prefect, and the past Cheng Wen of the province, Lin Yanchao is to buy a book, buy a book and carry a copy. Governor Chen sent twenty taels of silver, and he used it unceremoniously.

He is still more accustomed to buying books than borrowing books, and at this time, readers still take collecting books as their preference, and people who love to read have thousands of books in their collections.

Lin Yanchao also loves to buy books, both lives.

The shopkeeper and the guys in the store, every time they saw Lin Yanchao spending money to buy books, they all smiled from ear to ear. Many readers buy books after reading, where like Lin Yanchao, he spent three or five taels of silver a month to buy books, so the family has 100 gold and does not spend it like this.

The shopkeeper and his buddies only take Lin Yanchao as the wronged boss who buys books to decorate the door, but if they know that Lin Yanchao not only bought but also read it, but also memorized it, I don't know what it would be like to be frightened.

In addition to the subsets of current texts and scriptures, Lin Yanchao will also pick the best ones sold in the bookstore to buy, such as the biography written by Wang Yangming's disciples, the continuation of the biography, Zhan Ruoshui's Zhan Ganquan Collection, the Mental Diagram, Wang Shizhen's four manuscripts, and Luo Rufang's lectures, etc., all of which are bought and taken home to see.

Once, Lin Yanchao also saw a few readers flipping through a book of "Red Spring Yicao" with relish.

Lin Yanchao was curious at that time to ask who the author was, and those people who knew Lin Yanchao looked at Lin Yanchao and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, is it from the mountains, this book is written by Linchuan Tang Xianzu, you don't even know him, what else do you read, this person is twenty years old in the township examination, famous all over the world." ”

I heard that this person would take the Chinese exam, but he said that he wanted to win the top prize, so he deliberately did not participate in next year's examination, studied at home, and won the championship in three years. This "Hongquan Yicao" is his first poetry collection, it is the plan to move the two capitals before the carriage and horses arrived, and the first name was sold out, Luoyang paper is expensive, and the current provincial city readers are embarrassed to go out if they don't read it, so I persuade you to buy a copy of it. ”

1 Tang Xianzu! It's the big one that writes about the Peony Pavilion. Linchuan is really a place for talented people, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Lu Jiuyuan, and Luo Rufang and Tang Xianzu in modern times. So Lin Yanchao couldn't help but buy a copy of "Red Spring Grass".

In addition to the book club, Lin Yanchao is to visit the pear orchard, and he will go every two or three days, of course, if he doesn't go to the chess club on this day, he doesn't go fishing.

On this day, Lin Yanchao read a day of Zhaoming's anthology, and after writing a few articles in the afternoon, he went to the river to listen to the play in the evening.

As soon as I entered the gate, someone immediately greeted: "Hey, Lin Gongzi, you are here again...... The old seat is reserved for you...... Or just watch two plays...... Or sencha, should you change the pastry? Why don't you have some fresh fruit......"

On this day, the business of the Rulin class was not very good, and there were only three or four people at the table.

Lin Yanchao also heard from his opera friends that this Confucian Lin class was opened by an official eunuch, and because this eunuch likes to listen to operas, he has a big opera troupe of thirty or forty people at home. But after the official eunuch became a minister, he was shy in his pocket, and he refused to lay off this big opera troupe, so he asked his friend to borrow a garden, and named this big opera troupe a Qiantang class, and sang Confucian opera in the garden to earn some money to subsidize.

There are very few people today, and there is an old man on the stage, singing there drowsy.

Lin Yanchao also shook his head, and was about to leave after drinking tea, when someone said, "This brother, please." ”

Lin Yanchao tilted his head, but saw a man bow to him. This man was wearing a high scarf with wide sleeves, which was the new Su Xiang who had just come from Zhejiang, and at first glance he knew that he was a young man.

Seeing that the other party was only a year older than him, Lin Yanchao got up and arched his hand: "Brother Tai, what do you have to say?" ”

This humanitarian: "Please forgive me for being abrupt, in Xia Xie Zhaoqian, a local, lives in Qiantang less, and his father is An Renzhi County, and he is the owner of this Qiantang class in the garden." ”

"It turned out to be a young owner."

Xie Zhaoqian hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be." ”

The two sat down and chatted at the moment, both of them were scholars, and they were of the same age, and they talked. At that moment, Xie Zhaoqian asked someone to add a few snacks, and then said to Lin Yanchao: "Brother Lin, I see that you often come here to watch plays, it can be seen that Brother Tai loves you, dare to ask Brother Tai where do you like Qiantang Class the most?" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's all fine." ”

Xie Zhaoqian said unwillingly: "Brother, please forgive me for asking in a hurry, just say which places you like." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Since it is Brother Xie, there are three places to ask like this." ”

Xie Zhaoqian was overjoyed and said, "Which three?" ”

"Tea, pastries, garden."

Xie Zhaoqian opened half of the tea bowl, and his face froze. Lin Yanchao hurriedly said, "Brother Xie, I lost my words." ”

Xie Zhaoqian waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lin, you don't have to comfort me, looking at these few guests, you will know how bleak the business is." ”

Lin Yanchao looked left and right, and knew that after he came, there were not many people in the troupe.

"In fact, this Qiantang class has been setting up a stage in the garden for more than half a year, and it has been unable to make ends meet, and in the past month, it has suffered a lot of losses. Someone persuaded me to put the troupe on the hook fence and perform some obscene plays, but I refused. In this opera troupe, Wen Juan, Yuhan, Zhiqing, and Changjun, who are placed in Hangzhou, can also play the role of Dan, and they sing for Confucian students on weekdays. ”

Lin Yanchao was also very sympathetic at the moment: "Confucian opera is very good, but it is played in a moderate and peaceful tune, and it is inevitable that the music is high and low, so it is just that, but what should not be that you sing in the correct tone (official dialect), not the local Min dialect, so that the people in the market don't like to listen to it, it is better to let your opera troupe sing in the Min dialect, isn't it?" ”

Xie Zhaoqian said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this, but with a new tone, the tune must be renewed, and the tune must also be changed." If it is a strong change, it can only be like nagging about those Jianghu operas, singing foreign dramas in Fujian dialect, not like inside and out. ”

"It's easy." Lin Yanchao said secretly, and he wanted to speak a little again.

Xie Zhaoqian hurriedly said: "Brother Yanchao, this troupe is the brainchild of me and my father, if you have any high opinions, just say it, our father and son are grateful." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Don't dare, I have a shallow opinion, how about making up a new play and recomposing the music?" ”

PS: I forgot to read it yesterday, thank you for the reward of the little 0125 brothers, helmsman.
