happy rebirth

The stage was set up in the ancestral hall of Luoquan Village.

Ancestral halls are places of worship.At this time, people pay special attention to the aftermath.Therefore, in a village, as long as most of the people can live a life of starvation, then the ancestral halls in this village will be well built.Of course, this is good relative to our housing.

The ancestral hall is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.The inner room is a place where outsiders are not allowed to enter. People who are not of the same family and the same surname are not allowed to see it, and women of the same family are not allowed to enter unless there are special circumstances.Liu Gu's family is from outside, so they are definitely not eligible to enter the ancestral hall in Luoquan Village, which has been repaired for nearly a hundred years.

There is not so much attention to the outside.

The outer room is very large, and one room is as big as four main rooms in ordinary people's houses.The room was empty, with few furnishings.There is a patio in the middle, so the house is leaky.If someone in the village dies, the mourning hall is usually set up outside the ancestral hall when the deceased is in mourning.

If there is an important matter in the village and the villagers need to be called together, the outside room will often be opened to gather everyone here.This time the stage is set up like this, the outer room is open to everyone, not only people from the own village can come, even people from other villages can enter the outer room.

Of course, the villagers took advantage of the convenience and brought their own benches and braziers early to occupy the best position.

Ke Qi's script is superbly written.This drama ended when Jia Shanren married his second wife, but it started when Jia Shanren married his original partner.Echoing from the beginning to the end, both the stepmother and the original partner had a one-man show before the worship, which can be regarded as confessing their hearts.The original partner covered her head with a red cloth, and she sang a section shyly, to the effect that she heard that the future husband is famous, and after getting married, she will definitely treat the slave family well, and the slave family is willing to match his eyebrows with him.

As soon as the bride sang, the villagers in the audience clapped and applauded.

Ke Qi lowered his voice and said to Xie Jinhua: "At the end, when the stepmother sings almost the same monologue, I wonder if everyone can clap their hands and applaud." Xie Jinhua is afraid of the cold. Qi and Li Yang covered him tightly, at least to keep him out of the wind.Therefore, when Ke Qi lowered his voice to speak to Xie Jinhua, it would not affect the people around him listening to the play, but Xie Jinhua's ears were a little itchy.

The longing for the original partner happily married.When a good person does good deeds, the first spouse is also very supportive. She lives carefully and carefully, always obeying her husband's wishes, and returning to save two bites of meat and a piece of cloth from herself, all in order for her husband to use it to help others.

The deeds of Hao Dashan were so widely spread that only a quarter of the play was sung, and someone patted his thigh and said: "Ah! This must be the good man from Hao's village! I heard people say, then What a living Bodhisattva, it’s so strange that even the theater troupe is willing to use his deeds to perform!”

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua looked at each other and smiled.

Ke Qi touched Xie Jinhua's face, and seeing that his face was completely cold, he said, "Why don't we stop listening and go home."

Xie Jinhua shook his head: "Listen to it for a while, at least I heard the first crying scene of the original partner."

The first crying scene happened when the original partner was pregnant. First, all the eggs used by the original partner to replenish the body were sent to the neighbor’s house by the benevolent person. Then, during the autumn harvest, the benevolent person went to help the neighbor’s house first, and the child in the original partner’s belly was exhausted. , the original partner was heartbroken, and finally couldn't help crying.

The little couple decided to sneak away.Ke Qi took Xie Jinhua's hand, and the two sneaked out of the ancestral hall with their waists bent.

When passing by a few rows of people listening to the opera, the young couple heard someone say: "This is over... No matter how good outsiders are, how can they be as important as their own wives and children?"

It can be seen that there are still sensible people in the world. The sufferings that sister Ye's past suffered did not spread along with Hao Dashan's benevolent deeds. This time the truth is put on the table, let's see how many people continue to respect that benevolent person!And the climax of "A Tale of Kindness" is the period after the benevolent person's illness. All the people in the village who had been helped by the benevolent person were unwilling to borrow money, and the faces of the villains were played vividly.Since everyone knows that this play is actually about the Hao family's affairs, they will naturally know that the villagers in the play refer to the people of the Hao family village.Then, the ingratitude of the people of Haojia Village is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

What will the people of Haojia Village do when they are scolded by people from a hundred miles away?Of course he will resent Hao Shanren!

When Ke Qi decided to write a script, Hao Shanren's life was destined to be difficult.Although Ke Qi's move is suspected of meddling in other people's affairs, it is Hao Shanren's own fault.As long as he regards his wife as a person, as long as he has a conscience, after Sister Ye reconciles with him, he will not immediately remarry, right?Since the news that the first wife prayed for him in front of the Buddha and saved his life by the Bodhisattva has spread, if he really said that he would hold off for two years before remarrying, then this matter will definitely spread, and he will be rewarded. It has a good reputation of "deep affection and righteousness".However, it was rumored that he was going to remarry.

It can be seen that Hao Shanren really didn't take his wife and children seriously!

"A Tale of Kindness" was performed continuously for seven days in Luoquan Village.In the next few days, people from other villages flocked to Luoquan Village because of the news that there was a big show to be watched here.Because everyone has too little spiritual food, they can't get tired of watching old dramas over and over again, let alone this brand new drama?So, as soon as the opera in Luoquan Village was finished, the troupe was invited by Menlu Village, and then Dongchang Village and Yeqiu Village were also booked.

Before the end of the first lunar month, the troupe will be empty.Coincidentally, Yeqiu Village was the village where Ye Zhengping lived.

The people in Luoquan Village have watched the same play seven times in a row, and they still feel that they are still unsatisfied.Liu Ya wandered around the village for a long time, and found that whether the villagers were washing clothes in the river or gathering together to bask in the sun at noon, they were talking about things in the play.This topic is very hot.

Ke Qi roughly guessed that "A Tale of Kindness" would be popular, because the rhythm of the story was well grasped (thanks to him) and the lyrics were very vivid (thanks to Xie Jinhua), but he did not expect this drama to be so popular.By the time Qiulin Academy started, it was said that the play had become popular in villages on the outskirts of Beijing.

Because Ke Qi had written to Ye Zhengping, Ye Zhengping knew that this play was made by his friends, so he told them about Hao Shanren's recent situation.

"...People in our village say that you must never marry your daughter to Haojia Village, and you can't go to Haojia Village to hire a wife, because they are a bunch of white-eyed wolves, and you can't count on anything. The reputation of the whole village It is said that the rest of the surnames in the village have isolated Hao Shanren, and Hao’s family members complained about Hao Shanren. So his life is not easy, the family is already empty, and now his popularity is very poor. .”

Hao Shanren was well-known at the beginning, but now he is naturally burdened by his "famous name".In many cases, as long as a good person does one wrong thing and let people know, he becomes a bad person, and it is always difficult to be forgiven by others in a short time.What's more, Hao Shanren's hypocrisy in front of his wife and children cannot be washed away.

"Then he can't entrap innocent girls again?" Ke Qi asked.

Ye Zhengping said: "Nowadays there are no matchmakers who are willing to come to his house, but there are often gangsters and bums who go to his house to eat and drink for free. If he has any objections, those gangsters will say, aren't you a good person? Eat!" What's wrong with your meal? It's a great achievement to please the grandpas."

Although Ke Qi didn't see it in person, but hearing what Ye Zhengping said, he could imagine that Hao Shanren's life must be very difficult now.

"By the way, my sister got a blessing in disguise." When Ye Zhengping said this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Everyone knows that it is because she prayed for the good person that the good person can recover from illness. Everyone said this before." When it happened, they all felt that it was because of the good fortune of a good person, so their life should not be terminated. But now when people talk about this incident, they feel that it is all due to my sister, and it is her prayer that moved the Bodhisattva. "

Ye Zhengping set up a Buddhist hall for his sister to pray for blessings at home, and now someone always secretly puts fresh melons, fruits and vegetables at the entrance of the Buddhist hall.This is to get a taste of the "blessing" of the Ye family sister.Ye Zhengping was afraid that his sister would also be burdened by the fame in the future, so he took the initiative to refute the rumors that his sister was not very lucky, otherwise her life would not have been so hard in the past.People changed their tunes one after another and said that now the end of all hardships has come.

However, sister Ye family can't really kneel before the Buddha every day.She stayed in that room because she was doing embroidery work.Ye Zhengping was very talented in painting, and he drew patterns for his sister, and the finished products embroidered by his sister could be sold at a higher price than ordinary people.This made the Ye family sister full of confidence in her future life.She always has to work hard to support herself and her daughter. Although her younger brother is reliable, she cannot depend on her for the rest of her life.

"This is really great." Ke Qi was very happy for the Ye family, "But be careful, I'm afraid that the good man will be cornered and go find your sister again."

"As long as he really dares to come to our Yeqiu Village, Aunt An will definitely lead others to beat the dog in the water." Ye Zhengping's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

In fact, the life in the academy is always the same, but the student surnamed Hao from Haojia Village who spread rumors in the academy that Ye Zhengping was ungrateful began to focus on making troubles for Ye Zhengping, and probably blamed all the reasons for the bad reputation of Haojia Village It was Ye Zhengping.

Now that Ye Zhengping was morally righteous, and he was indeed a man of real talent and learning, he naturally regarded the student surnamed Hao as a clown.

Soon it will be March. As a nice new play, "A Tale of Kindness" has gradually become popular in the capital. The serious theater troupe has changed the tone, and of course the performance is better than that of the wild troupe.Unknowingly, it has been a year since Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua got married.This year has been more exciting than Ke Qi's 14 years in Ke's family, and Xie Jinhua also thinks so, he feels that this year with Ke Qi seems to have passed too fast.

Xie Jinhua was lucky enough to encounter a rainy day when he was taking a bath at the end of the month. He immediately took a coir raincoat and bamboo hat to go boating on the river.Ke Qi made an appointment with Xiao Qiqi and Shi Ba of the Ding family, after thinking about it, he wrote a letter to the second son of the Prince of Dejun.

As a person who likes fancy clothes, Li Xu will always be the most beautiful scenery in the crowd like a peacock spreading its tail.

However, this time Li Xu couldn't care less about showing off his new clothes. When he saw Ke Qi, he immediately grabbed Ke Qi's hand and said with complicated eyes: "I remember you wrote to me, So you wrote "The Story of Kindness"?" Since Ke Qi entered Qiulin Academy, Li Xu and him have not seen each other often, because when Li Xu is free, Ke Qi is studying, and when Ke Qi rests, Li Xu Xu doesn't necessarily have to be idle.But they have been communicating.

"Brother Xie and I wrote it together. What's the matter?" Ke Qi felt that his hands were hurting from Li Xu's grip.

Li Xu took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Two days ago, the concubine Xian held a small banquet in the palace, and invited the auspicious troupe to sing an opera, which was "The Story of Doing Good". Grandpa Huang also went to listen to it. In the future If someone asks, you must bite to death. It is a play based on folk anecdotes."

Ke Qi's expression suddenly became serious.

Seeing that he seemed a little nervous, Li Xu smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, nothing happened, I just give you one more word of advice."
