Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

The opera is over! The audience dispersed.

Seniors in Kaifeng's literary circle left the Cuju field with solemn expressions, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Although they tried their best to deny it, they had to admit that the opera did have merit.

Seeing everyone leaving, many scribes who had not been invited approached their acquaintances to inquire.

"Scholar Qin, is it true that the Li family has established a sect?" A student from the Imperial College asked quickly when he saw a Qin Guan coming out.

Qin Guan stopped and said with a solemn expression: "Quju does indeed have the appearance of establishing a sect, but whether it is a third-generation literary school is still controversial."

"Are you really starting a sect?"

A group of imperial students were in an uproar. You must know that although Li Qingzhao has the title of the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty and has many famous works to her name, she is still three points behind her reputation as the founder of the sect.

"Scholar Qin is from the Su clan, so he naturally prefers Li Qingzhao." Some people said disapprovingly.

Qin Guan was from the Su clan, and Li Qingzhao was the leader of the younger generation of the Su clan. Everyone did not believe what Qin Guan said. After all, founding a sect was not an easy task, let alone Li Qingzhao, who was a woman. , which was even more difficult for the literary world of the Song Dynasty to accept.

"Master Zhou Bo, how do you treat operas now!" A student from the Imperial Academy asked hurriedly when he saw Bo Zhou Bangyan, the master of the Imperial Academy.

Zhou Bangyan said with a look of shame on his face: "Everyone Li is so talented, Zhou feels ashamed of himself."

Everyone asked several literary seniors one after another, and most of them were full of praise for the opera.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed that Quju has been recognized as the founding sect, and Li Qingzhao's status in the literary world will be infinitely higher. Not to mention that Quju is still controversial as a third-generation literary genre, which means that some people in the literary genre also agree with this point of view.

"What is the charm of opera?" Many young generation literati who have not entered it are itching to say.

Soon, when Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao came out hand in hand, a doctor's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Brother Fan, I wonder if we can get a glimpse of the Li family's opera."

Fan Zheng looked up at the expectant students and smiled slightly: "From tomorrow onwards, the opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang" will be performed twice a day at the Cuju venue, and the ticket price is one penny per person!"

"Xiangong Opera has just appeared, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to collect money!" Li Qingzhao whispered from the side.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. Do you know that if an oiran performs at Goulan Tingqu, the entry fee alone will be no less than a hundred cents. To charge only one penny per person for such a wonderful opera is already a reasonable price."

"Quju is not a brothel, so how can we compare it with one another?" Li Qingzhao frowned.

Qu Opera has just been questioned by the literary world. She is eager to prove the influence of Qu Opera. If it is charged, it will inevitably affect the spread of Qu Opera.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "If you perform for free, no matter how widely it is spread, the opera will be just a flash in the pan. But if you want the opera to be widely disseminated, charging is the most important thing."

"Ah!" Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng in confusion. She didn't understand why not charging would be harmful, while charging would be beneficial to opera.

Fan Zheng asked rhetorically: "Do musicians and warriors need expenses? Do famous actors and actresses need remuneration? Also, opera cannot occupy the Cuju venue for a long time. It must have its own performance venue. These all require expenses. Only by making opera beneficial Only by making a profit can more people join in, and only then can the opera flourish."

Li Qingzhao suddenly realized that she knew that what Fan Zheng said was the right move. If the opera had no income, based on her strength alone, even if she spent all her wealth, it would not be sustainable. She could only attract more people with profit. Come and learn opera, so that opera can be spread widely.

Sure enough, when all the doctors heard that the price was only one penny, they all cheered: "Thank you, Senior Brother Fan!"

A penny is nothing to Dr. Tai. If he can witness the creation of the Li family, it will naturally be worth thousands.

Other literati are also eager to give it a try. Through word of mouth from the literary seniors just now, everyone knows that the opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang" is extremely exciting, and Li Shishi, who plays the role of Concubine Yang, is even more captivating, comparable to an oiran.

If they were in a brothel, they might not be able to get a chance to see Li Shishi even if they spent hundreds or thousands of pennies. Now, with only one penny, they can not only witness the third generation literary school, but also get a glimpse of Li Shishi, who is comparable to an oiran, so they are naturally eager to try it.

"A penny a head!"

When Cheng Yi heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. When Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor, he started with a penny of consultation fees, but now he is using the same techniques again.

He naturally understood that with the brilliance of "The Biography of Concubine Yang", even if it was priced at a hundred dollars, someone would generously donate.

And Fan Zheng directly set the ticket price at one penny, so that even ordinary people can afford it. In this way, opera will become popular among people all over the world. This is why Fan and Li asserted that opera is the third generation of literary genre. biggest reliance.

Sure enough, just as Fan Zheng had imagined, the Cuju venue was once again packed with people on the second day, even if they charged a penny.

Li Qingzhao was already very famous in Kaifeng City. In addition, the opera was the founder of the sect, and his first performance caused an uproar in the literary world.

Furthermore, the ticket price of one penny is extremely cheap in Kaifeng City, and even ordinary people can afford it. In addition to literati, there are also ordinary people rushing to come and have a look.

However, when they witnessed the wonderful performance of "The Legend of Concubine Yang" with their own eyes, they were all captivated by it. Such a large-scale and high-standard performance was far better than them spending a lot of money to go to Goulan to listen to the music. Of course, if you go to a brothel for other purposes, that is another matter. .

Especially the part about the drunken concubine became popular in Kaifeng City, and everyone rushed to sing it.

"Love and hate are in a moment..."

In the bustling city of Kaifeng, a businessman said something funny and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This is the drunken concubine. Although the singing below is not pleasant to the ears, the singing of Master Li in the stands is still lingering for three days." The merchant boasted proudly.

Everyone around him was immediately itching with hatred. They were just a little late and didn't get tickets, otherwise it wouldn't be this guy's turn to complain.

"You don't know, but Master Li is even more powerful than the imperial concubine Yang Guifei in history." The merchant said proudly.

Everyone was immediately itchy. Not to mention the popular opera, they could also see Li Shishi, who was comparable to an oiran. What a beautiful thing this would be and it only cost one penny.

Nowadays, the people of Kaifeng have heard the news and are proud to watch operas. After all, they cannot understand poetry and songs, but operas that are actively sung are the most suitable culture for them.

As every opera performance became full, the opera gradually spread in Kaifeng City.

Among them, Li Shishi, who played the role of Concubine Yang Guifei, became famous instantly. Her stunning appearance and wonderful dance music are very close to the concubine Yang Guifei in history. Li Shishi crushed all the major courtesans in Kaifeng and won the title of the most beautiful woman in Kaifeng. title.

It can be said that Li Qingzhao's opera and Li Shishi's role as Concubine Yang complement each other, which makes the opera even more popular.

Countless people rushed to panic, even if they spent a lot of money, they wanted to buy a front-row ticket from others, just to catch a glimpse of Li Shishi's beauty.

"The most beautiful woman in Kaifeng!"

What really makes Li Shishi famous in Kaifeng is not just her singing and beauty, but also her legendary experience.
