Chapter 256: Finger-pointing

When the audience left the Grand Theater bustlingly, the small hall on the second floor of the Jiangnan Grand Theater was also full of friends. After reading Dou E's grievances, when Lin Jueben invited Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu to sit down for tea in the small hall, the prince's father and son and the little county lord dressed as a man came uninvited.

Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying hurriedly took the women to kneel down to welcome the arrival of Lord Liang, and Lin Jue hurriedly got up and saluted. Seeing this, Fang Dunru got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Guo Bing.

"Isn't this Mr. Fang? Look up for a long time. After so many years in Hangzhou, this king has never met Mr. Fang. The last time we met was in the capital more than 20 years ago, right? At that time, Mr. Fang was still the governor of the political affairs hall, and he was my important minister of the Great Zhou. ”

Fang Dunru frowned and said, "That's all in the past, what else to mention?" Now he is just a teacher. The old man has long forgotten the past. ”

Guo Bing nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay, if you don't mention it, don't mention it." Mr. Fang has the grace to forget those things. But the king will not forget those things. This king is quite unhappy for Mr. Fang. When Mr. Fang resigned and left the capital, the government and the opposition were in a panic. The first emperor didn't keep it. Ay! It's a pity that such a pillar of talent is hiding in the mountains to teach, which is really a tyrannical thing. ”

Fang Dunru frowned and said, "If the prince mentions these past events again, the old man can only leave." Old decay is not a nostalgic person. Today is for fun, not for nostalgia. ”

Lin Jue was a little surprised, he knew that Fang Dunru was originally an official in the imperial court, but he resigned and went into hiding because of a disagreement with his philosophy. But what he never expected was that Fang Dunru once lived in the political affairs hall to participate in political affairs, which was equivalent to the high position of deputy prime minister. Don't look at it as the prime minister's right and left hand, but that position is the core position, and it must be a person who is extremely trusted by the saints. Fang Dunru actually said that he would resign from the office, how much courage it would take. Or maybe it was so indignant that I had to leave.

"Hehehe, what I said is, don't mention it, really don't mention it. This king is also here for amusement. Hey? Guo Bing laughed.

Fang Dunru arched his hand and said: "The old man still has to go out of the city to return to the academy, forgive me for not staying for a long time." Lord Wang, Lord Yan, the old man has taken his leave. ”

"Why do you want to leave for a long time? Can't you talk to this king? Guo Bing frowned.

Fang Dunru said with a smile: "The prince can't answer what he said, so the old man won't answer." The old man has taken his leave. ”

After saying that, he walked out, Lin Jue hurriedly got up and said, "Sir, I'll send you." ”

After Lin Jue and Fang Dunru's figures disappeared, the little prince Guo Kun muttered, "This Fang Dunru is such a big shelf. ”

Guo Bing shouted: "It's not your right to speak, Fang Shanchang is a great Confucian in the world, and he was once an important minister of the imperial court. And the king saluted him three points. It's temper...... It's weird. Hey? What are you standing for? You don't have to be inhibited, just sit down and talk. ”

Guo Bing sat down on a chair with a big sting, and Xie Danhong, who was standing in a daze, woke up in a daze, and ordered someone to make tea. A group of actors were originally summoned by Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru to praise their acting skills, but they all bowed and retired at this moment.

Lin Jue sent Fang Dunru out of the door and whispered softly. Fang Dunru insisted on refusing, and he told Lin Jue that he did not disdain to sit and talk with the prince, but that he really needed to go back to the academy because it was getting late. Lin Jue wanted to arrange a vehicle to send Fang Dunru up the mountain, but Fang Dunru refused, saying that he wanted to take a walk, but his words seemed inconsistent.

Lin Juelian couldn't help it, he couldn't resist his own teacher, so he had to send him out of the theater gate, watching him blend into the flow of people on Donghe Street, and then turned around and came back to greet people. What Lin Jue didn't know was that Fang Dunru was in a hurry to come out because there was someone waiting for him on the stone fence bridge in front of him, it was Fang Huanqiu who was dressed as a man.

The reason why Fang Dunru asked for two tickets was that his wife was going to come to see the play, but it was actually prepared for Fang Huanqiu. Fang Huanqiu insisted on coming to see the play, and when she performed just now, she was sitting in the crowd not far from Lin Jue and Fang Dunru's box. I didn't watch much of the play, and I spent most of my time watching Lin Jue. After the show, she couldn't show up, so she only went out of the theater and waited for Fang Dunru to leave with her at the bridge. Although Fang Dunru was reluctant to talk to the prince and others, it was not because of this reason today, but because he was worried that his beloved daughter was waiting on the street alone and had to leave. In fact, today's Dou E's injustice drama Fang Dunru is quite touched, he has a lot of comments to say, but he has no time to say it.

When the tea was brewed, Lin Jue had already hurried back to the small hall on the second floor. After the confession, he sat down and listened to Guo Bing speak with a smile.

"Today, the king heard that there is a new play staged at the Jiangnan Grand Theater, and he has heard the name of the Jiangnan Grand Theater for a long time, and it is said that the repertoire is wonderful, so the king took Kun'er and the little girl to take a look. One is to see if the fame is worthy of the name, and the other is to give Lin Jue a scene and a scene to the Jiangnan Grand Theater. Hehehe. ”

Lin Jue got up and saluted, "Thank you, little prince...... The little county lord came, and Lin Jue, on behalf of all the staff of the Grand Theater, thanked the prince for his kindness. I hope it didn't disappoint the prince. ”

Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying also hurriedly saluted and thanked them, thinking: Lin Gongzi's face is really not small, and the prince's father and son and the prefect all came to cheer, which is really incredible.

"Not disappointed, not disappointed, not only not disappointed, but breathtaking. Lin Jue, this king really admires you, not only the plot is wonderful, the acting is wonderful, but what is even more amazing is your ingenuity. To be honest, this king has also watched a lot of plays, but none of them want you to act like this. This king understands why your Jiangnan Grand Theater is famous and popular, and other theaters have a mediocre response. In fact, the mind is not enough, and the means are not as good as yours. ”

"The prince's false praise is just nonsense, in order to make the people happy." Lin Jue said with a smile.

Guo Bing nodded and smiled: "Don't be humble, your Lin Jue's ability is known to the king." And all of you here know it. However, there are some things that this king knows are a bit unpleasant, but he still wants to talk to you. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "The prince admonished, Lin Jue listened attentively. ”

"It's not a precept, it's just a personal opinion. When this Jiangnan Grand Theater was established, the king frequently heard reports from people. Although your reputation is good, the repertoire you appear in needs to be carefully considered. I have heard that all the repertoire is from you, and although I admire your talents, I am also a little worried about you. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"What this king means is the content of the play. I don't know who it was, but I mentioned it in the ears of this king. For example, it seems that you have performed a play called "The Legend of the West Chamber" here, right? There is actually a content of men and women privately agreeing for life there, I don't know if it is or not? Guo Bing asked in a deep voice.

Lin Jue didn't know how to explain it, if Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying were to be interpreted as fornication in the West Chamber, it was not completely wronged. But that is the result of the cause and effect, and the excitement of the whole drama is that the west chamber meets here under the moon, which is the core of the play. He didn't know how to answer.

"Originally, this king also knew that this was fake, but it was just a drama. However, the Legend of the West Chamber became a sensation, causing many confused people in Hangzhou to imitate the plot in the play. This king knows here that the number of elopements and fornications in the city has suddenly increased in the past six months, and the city has been full of turmoil. I have to say that this is the consequence of your trouble in the West Chamber. Lin Jue, it's not good to openly publicize this kind of despicable behavior. Guo Bing said.

Lin Jue was stunned and opened his mouth. I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. I didn't expect that a story of the West Chamber could play such a role, which was really something that Lin Jue had never thought of before. But thinking about it, it seems that there is this possibility, and this is the case in later generations, don't many trends and styles follow TV and movies to learn? It is not impossible for the repertoire of the Grand Theatre to influence the minds of the people in the city.

Lin Jue's previous idea of establishing the Jiangnan Grand Theater was just for the sake of Xie Yingying and the others' transformation away from the flower world, plus some thoughts about making some small money. Other than that, didn't think much about it. But at this moment, Guo Chong's words woke up Lin Jue as if they were an initiation. The role of the theatre is much more than just making money, and in these years, if it has enough influence, it will be a mouthpiece, an extremely effective means of publicity, and it may come in handy.

"What the prince admonished me is that I should pay attention to proportions in the future. However, that play is not to advocate such immoral things, if the prince doesn't believe it, my Dongcheng Grand Theater is still performing this play, and the prince can go and see it for himself. Lin Jue said with a smile.

"This king is not going to see this kind of play. Not only this king, but also everyone here will not look at it. This king suggests that you stop the play quickly, for your own good. Guo Bing shook his head.

"Daddy, I've watched this show, there's nothing wrong with it." Guo Caiwei suddenly said loudly.

"What?" Guo Bing seemed to have been beaten in the mouth, and looked back at the little county lord in amazement. "When have you seen it?"

"When my father and brother were in the capital, the West Chamber premiered, and my daughter came to watch. Daddy hasn't seen it, and you can't rely on hearsay. What are the things in the city...... How can it be related to a play? If it is said that it is immoral, why are there so many open brothels in the city? Wouldn't it be more immoral? It's going to be banned. The little county lord said softly.

"Girl!" The little prince shouted in a low voice. This girl is really a headache, and her elbow is turned out in front of outsiders. Father said a few words about Lin Jue's no, and she immediately stepped forward to defend Lin Jue. Speaking of which, since the girl watched the drama that promoted fornication and fornication, it was because she was affected, and the bad things between her and Lin Jue may have been poisoned by it.

Lin Jue looked at Guo Caiwei, and Guo Caiwei was also looking at him. The two exchanged glances, sparks flew around, and affection was like affection. Lin Jue shook his head slightly, Guo Caiwei understood, and was busy silent.
