For Tang Xianzu, although writing novels has these three advantages, there is also one unpleasant point, that is, readers writing novels are considered vulgar by the people of the time, and they are not elegant. www.biquge.info When Pu Songling wrote about Zhai, he was puzzled, questioned, and ridiculed by his former colleagues and friends.

But Tang Xianzu was grateful for Lin Yanchao's appreciation, and still accepted it and said: "Since this is the case, Tang will try it first." ”

Lin Yanchao was very pleased when he saw Tang Xianzu's agreement, I don't know if he has the first draft of the Peony Pavilion, if there is this classic press, then it will be difficult for his Yanjing Times to be popular.

Lin Yanchao asked: "Yi is still promised immediately, can there be a first draft in his chest?" ”

Tang Xianzu nodded and said: "Indeed, a few years ago, when I lived in Beijing, Tang had nothing to do in his spare time while studying, and read the legend of Huo Xiaoyu in the Tang Dynasty, so I rewrote a drama with itchy hands. ”

Lin Yanchao felt a little regretful, it's not the Peony Pavilion, but which one is Huo Xiaoyu? Huo Xiaoyu naturally read it, and talked about the talented and beautiful woman, and in the end, the talented man was negative, and the beautiful woman died unjustly.

However, this ending is too abusive, and after the serialization, it will poison many readers of their own newspapers, which is suitable for the Wenqing route, not for commercial newspapers.

So Lin Yanchao suggested: "Brother Tang, Yu Yi has read Huo Xiaoyu's biography, and after reading it, he is not angry, he likes Xiaoyu's infatuation and hates Li Yizhi's negative heart. The moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, the reality is so, why not in the novel, to give the world a beautiful thought. ”

Tang Xianzu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it: "Zong Hai and I really coincide, I also thought that the ending was not good, Tang Dynasty novels, the loyalty of beautiful women is good, but how can many talented people be negative men?" This is too discrediting for me as a scholar. ”

"Therefore, Zonghai, don't worry, although two of them have twists and turns, they must have lovers who eventually become married."

Lin Yanchao listened to it and said in his heart, this is good.

Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare are known as the two great masters of Eastern and Western drama.

But Lin Yanchao remembered Shakespeare's four cups, which really belong to the 'depression system' classics, and after reading it, he will abuse you to the point that you don't want it.

In comparison, Tang Xianzu is much more kind, and he is simply a conscience author.

Who knew that Tang Xianzu's words changed: "I didn't expect that Zong Hai and I generally like the same, no wonder you and I are so like-minded, speaking of abuse, you have a white snake legend in Fujian, that's just ......"

Lin Yanchao was speechless for a while and asked, "Brother Tang has seen it?" ”

Tang Xianzu said with infinite regret: "I heard it when I was in Yingtian and Hangzhou, and in the end it was the White Lady who was Zhen Leifeng Tower, Xu Xian became a monk, and there was a lover who did not become a dependent, and the people who heard it at that time did not say Tang, even the old and young women and children were crying, and the author of this play was really ......"

Lin Yanchao couldn't help coughing twice and said in his heart, do you want to discuss with Xie Zhaoqian, finish the legend of the White Snake, and make up the scene of Xu Shilin's high school champion opening the tower to save his mother twenty years later.

When Tang Xianzu was talking to Lin Yanchao, Chen Jichuan announced that Qu Hengjiang and others were visiting.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, after the establishment of the Yanjing Times, these people were all backbones, and they just happened to introduce each other, so he let a few people in.

Soon, Qu Hengjiang, Guo Zhengyu, and a young man of medium stature accompanied him, this young man looked a little haggard, and his face was still a little bruised.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this?" ”

Qu Hengjiang and Guo Zhengyu were about to speak, but when they saw that the scholar bowed down first, he bowed to Lin Yanchao and said, "Student Lu Wanjia, kneel down to thank the champion for saving his life." ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized that it was him, and more than a dozen students such as Lu Wanjia and Xiyuan Literary Society were arrested and sent to the Criminal Department, which caused the later knock.

After the knock incident, although Lin Yanchao was deprived of his post, he has been trying to rescue Lu Wanjia and others.

This time, Lin Yanchao became a Japanese lecturer again, and Zhang Juzheng did not pursue his intentions again. The officials of the Criminal Department were afraid of forming a bond with Lin Yanchao, so they not only took the initiative to come to the mansion to show goodwill, but also immediately released Lu Wanjia and them.

Therefore, when Lu Wanjia saw him, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he had thanked him for saving his life.

But Lin Yanchao still felt a little guilty about Lu Wanjia, if it weren't for the fact that he secretly planned to let the people of Xiyuan Literary Society pour feces on Hong Mingqi's car, then everything that happened later would not have happened.

Seeing this, Lin Yanchao hurriedly helped Lu Wanjia up and said, "I'm ashamed, if it weren't for my business, where would you be in prison." ”

Lu Wanjia hurriedly said: "It was all Hong Mingqi who framed me, and it has nothing to do with Zhuangyuangong." Students are grateful for your life-saving grace and are willing to do your best. ”

Guo Zhengyu said to Lin Yanchao: "Sir, this Lu Gongzi is my friend, I was taken in by him when I was in trouble in Beijing, when I was arrested in the Criminal Department in Xiyuan that day, the other party saw that I was a meritorious person and did not dare to embarrass it, but Lu Gongzi was questioned as the first offender, and was tortured by the people of the Criminal Department, and asked him to identify the crime of the teacher. But Brother Lu just refused, if it weren't for Zhaoxue this time, it would be almost impossible for Brother Lu to come out alive. ”

Hearing Guo Zhengyu say this, Qu Hengjiang couldn't help but be indignant, and scolded on the spot: "This dog-day Honggou official, if it weren't for him, how could he have given birth to so many things." The court is dim and incompetent, so he raises such a dog official. ”

Lin Yanchao's face sank when he heard this, and Qu Hengjiang hurriedly said: "Sir, forgive me, I just scolded other dog officials, but Mr. is a good official, a big good official." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Guo Zhengyu also said with a smile: "If it weren't for the Honggou official, we wouldn't be able to worship under Mr. and learn the scriptures of deeds, not to mention that he would reap the consequences in the end." ”

Lu Wanjia said with a smile: "Lu is also bitter. ”

Lin Yanchao was also happy when he heard the two of them say this.

Guo Zhengyu and the three of them have all eaten, and Lin Yanchao and Tang Xianzu have just finished eating. At that moment, everyone chatted together in the tea room.

The subordinates of the Lin Mansion were busy serving delicate melons and fruits, cakes, and fragrant tea, and plates filled the table of the Eight Immortals in the tea room.

The tea room is open to the moon, the night dissolves, and the fragrance of the grass and trees in the courtyard penetrates into the room.

Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea and introduced Tang Xianzu and the three of them: "This is Tang Linchuan." ”

The three of them have all heard of Tang Xianzu's reputation, Wanli five years of the subject of Chunqiu, Tang Xianzu and Shen Maoxue, Feng Mengzhen and others are the best among the scholars of this department, Zhang Juzheng wants to make a name for his son, and once asked Zhang Maoxiu, Zhang Sixiu and Tang Xianzu to travel.

The three of them got up together and saluted Tang Xianzu and said, "It turned out to be Tang senior, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

Tang Xianzu is famous, as soon as the poems came out, many people became famous, and even Zhang Juzheng sent his son to intersect with him, but after failing the list twice, the halo faded, and even his friend Shen Maoxue also despised him a little.

Therefore, now Tang Xianzu has seen the warmth and coldness of people, and he is also polite to the three of them: "I really dare not take the word senior." ”

After several people exchanged names, Lin Yanchao said: "This time, I am still from Hangzhou to Beijing, and I want to write in the Yanjing Times." ”

All three of them were overjoyed.

Qu Hengjiang patted his leg and said: "With the fame of Tang's predecessors, as soon as this Yanjing Times comes out, all readers will definitely rush to it." ”

Guo Zhengyu arched his hand and said: "I have also read the masterpieces, and the poems of Tang's predecessors will definitely add a lot of color to the Yanjing Times." ”

Tang Xianzu smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, but this time the champion asked me to write it so that I could serialize the script." ”

"Serialized scripts? Isn't that overkill? Lu Wanjia couldn't help but be surprised.

In the minds of readers, of course, poetry comes first, articles come second, drama barely fills the last stream, and the script does not enter the stream at all. To write a script with Tang Xianzu's fame today is indeed overkill.

Tang Xianzu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Lin Yanchao said: "The intention of the Yanjing Times to create a newspaper is not to play the spring and white snow, but to appreciate the elegance and vulgarity, even if you can only read and write, you can read this newspaper." The script is close to the market, and it can also be written, but the world's prejudice regards it as difficult to get into the elegant hall, which is too biased. ”

Tang Xianzu also sighed in his heart: "What Zhuangyuan Gong said is extremely true, but the opera is the best of Xiao Ke's life, even if he loses some reputation, it is nothing." ”

Lu Wanjia said: "It's okay for Tang seniors, if you cherish your reputation, it is better to use your pen name to express your words in the Times, and as for the poems, you should use your real name, so it's not the best of both worlds." ”

Tang Xianzu was moved by his intention when he heard this, and thought that this was a good way.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to use a name first, and when the time is ripe, you can make up a drama and let the people of the world hear about it." ”

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Tang Xianzu didn't have any last concerns, and said with a smile: "According to the words of the champion Yuangong, I am not afraid of a few people laughing, and the compilation of opera is better than the imperial examination in Yu Xin." ”

Lin Yanchao heard Tang Xianzu say this, it was out of sincerity, and he also knew that after he was disappointed in the imperial examination, he really looked down on fame and fortune.

Among the several people, Lu Wanjia also sighed after going to the Criminal Department: "The world is an official, and a few people can leave a name in history, but the opera script is different, even if it is occasionally mentioned by people hundreds of years later, it is just like coming back to life." Senior Tang, Lu Moufang was speechless, and now he only has respect for you. ”

Tang Xianzu smiled: "How dare you, how dare you." ”

Regarding Lu Wanjia's mood, Qu Hengjiang and Guo Zhengyu were quite unimpressed. As for Tang Xianzu, he obviously regards Lu Wanjia as a confidant.

In the end, everyone talked to the Yanjing Times.

Lu Wanjia said: "As the champion said, the Yanjing Times is to make the elegant and the vulgar appreciate, and everyone can read it, which is the ambition of my generation." Students are not talented, but they also want to do their best. ”

Listening to Lu Wanjia's meaning, he wanted to host the Yanjing Times for Lin Yanchao.

After Lu Wanjia finished speaking, Guo Zhengyu said: "Teacher, Brother Lu is very talented in business, if he is in charge, then it would be great." ”

Lu Wanjia said: "Brother Guo praised falsely, the student's family has a little money, if there is a place where money is needed to run a newspaper, he can advance money." As long as the Times can be done, students can continue to support it. ”

Qu Hengjiang said with a smile: "Sir, let's not be polite to him, this person has always been known as Xiao Meng in Jingshi, let's beat his autumn wind." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Lin Yanchao could see that Lu Wanjia was very sincere, and with Guo Zhengyu's strong recommendation, he decided to agree from the bottom of his heart.
