After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

When Shen Ji asked Lu Nianchuan to help trace the source of the rumors, many things happened in the court.Shen Ji only knew that her father left early and returned late every day. He had reached the age of retirement, but he still worked on government affairs until midnight.

For this reason, Shen Ji was so well-behaved that he didn't try to make her father angry, but quietly nestled in the study and compiled her dramas.

Shen Ji wrote Zaju under Li Yunyao's eyes every day, so naturally he couldn't hide it from the latter, so the latter asked: "What are you writing?"

"Zaju." Shen Ji said frankly, not hiding anything from Li Yunyao.

"When did you like Zaju?"

Li Yunyao is also aware of Shen Ji's entertainment life. This guy has rarely gone out since studying, and even the riding and shooting she was most proud of before has fallen behind a lot.Usually, I either go to Lv Nianchuan to listen to qin music, or go to Washe once or twice a month to listen to history books, or watch comic dramas. I have relatively little contact with Zaju.

However, zaju has a lot to do with burlesque, because zaju has many forms of expression, including burlesque.But at present, the most popular Zaju is a performance that combines tunes. The development of poetry and tunes are also inseparable. For example, the name of Ci Pai is actually a tune of Ci. The same, but also within this tune.

The melody makes the poems and songs easier to spread and more popular.Therefore, in Zaju, it is easier to tell stories by adding tunes, and it is easier for people to pass it on by word of mouth.

Li Yunyao learned from the TV in that world in her dream that there are operas such as "Peking Opera", "Yueju Opera" and "Huangmei Opera". relationship with development.

Seeing the zaju choreographed by Shen Ji now, it is obviously not the kind that has added farce, but it is not singing and dancing first, and then singing stories, but combining singing and singing stories with singing and dancing.Compared with the current zaju, Li Yunyao felt more like an opera in the world in his dream.

Without waiting for Shen Ji to answer, Li Yunyao said again: "It seems that Zaju is not arranged in this way."

Shen Ji scratched his head: "Isn't it? It's also my first time writing, and I don't quite understand it. I remembered that my mother is a professional, so I asked her for advice."

Her mother is the author who created this world. As the saying goes, "there is a specialization in art", if she doesn't ask her mother for advice, she is afraid that no one will read this drama when it is written, and it will not be enough to break the rumors and counterattack the Wu family.

Li Yunyao thought of Yan Shu's origin, thinking that she taught Shen Ji the opera of later generations.

"Why did you suddenly start writing this?"

Shen Ji's heart raised it, thinking that Li Yunyao should not be allowed to know about this matter, at least not until she found out the source of the rumor.He said: "I'm not thinking that the poems you wrote have been published, but I still don't have any good works, so I try to arrange a drama. But don't worry, I only think about it in my spare time. What should I do on weekdays?" The books you read will never fall behind."

Li Yunyao laughed and said, "It turns out that you have got into a dispute with me in your heart!"

"My lady explained to me the meaning of 'food, sex, and sex' before. If that's the case, then why is it strange that I look up to an excellent lady and try to catch up with her?"

"Then why don't you catch up with me in poetry and prose?"

"I've only been studying for a few days, how dare I show my ugliness in front of my wife!"

Li Yunyao still wanted to say something, but Shen Ji approached her again, looking at her eagerly: "I am so motivated, should my lady encourage me?"

Li Yunyao raised his hand to cover her approaching mouth, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Motivation is a proper learning attitude, how can you ask for rewards for it!"

Not being able to kiss Fangze, Shen Ji was not discouraged, instead he took advantage of the opportunity to kiss Li Yunyao's palm, and said with a smile: "This is also a reward."

Li Yunyao's palm was kissed as if it wasn't the itching of the palm, but the itching of the heart.Her breathing was a little short, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand, staring at Shen Ji with shame and embarrassment: "You!"

Seeing her getting angry, Shen Ji didn't feel guilty or afraid, but pretended to be disappointed and sighed: "You say you like me, but you rarely take the initiative to make out with me. I really don't know your thoughts."

Li Yunyao was stunned.

There is no doubt that she likes Shen Ji, after all, it took her a long time to understand her heart, so after she revealed her heart to Shen Ji, she never thought of letting go.

What's more, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the wife Shen Ji is marrying, so she is not in a hurry to use lust|desire to maintain her relationship with Shen Ji.

Instead, she hopes they will seize the opportunity to learn:

In fact, their age is the best time to concentrate on learning. Although they will have youthful restlessness, they have already begun to have their own views on world affairs, and their values ​​are also easily impacted. As they grow older, there will be people around them. More and more mundane affairs are entangled, and it will be difficult to distract yourself from studying.

Take the current Shen family as an example, Shen Yilu is in charge of important matters, Yan Shu is in control of financial planning, internal knowledge and servants are in charge of chores, Shen Ji doesn't need to worry about his basic necessities.But once Shen Yilu and Yan Shu are old and they are gone, then it is time for Shen Ji to take up the responsibility of the Shen family. At that time, she has to maintain interpersonal relationships and manage the future of the Shen family. How can she calm down and study? ?

Therefore, considering all these things, she had no choice but to suppress the desire to occasionally jump out and make trouble.

But she thought about a lot, but she missed the mood of Shen Ji, the client.

After hanging his head in thought for a while, Li Yunyao pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind: "If you want, I can promise you, but you also have to promise me, don't waste your studies because of this, let alone forget our agreement."

With that, she turned to close the window.

Shen Ji was just taking the opportunity to divert her attention, but he didn't expect that his frivolous "complaint" would make Li Yunyao go all out like this.

Li Yunyao's "sacrifice" did not make Shen Ji happy, but rather annoyed and ashamed. This incident made Shen Ji morally kidnap Li Yunyao, but she really had no intention of persecuting Li Yunyao.

She used to hug him from behind Li Yunyao, the latter thought she couldn't wait any longer, couldn't help but tense up, and said: "The door is not closed yet, you—"

"I was wrong."

"Huh?" Li Yunyao was puzzled.

"Just now I was outspoken. I didn't want to force others to be difficult, and I never questioned your affection for me." Shen Ji turned Li Yunyao's body over, "You know that sometimes I am easy to get carried away, take advantage of everything, and get cheap Still pretending to be good... Anyway, I didn't really mean that."

Li Yunyao understood, she stared at Shen Ji angrily and amusedly, wishing to tear off this man's ears.Fortunately, she has done so much psychological construction, dare to love this guy just to show off his quick tongue!

Li Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, but asked Shen Ji puzzledly: "Before you were just talking about it, and you didn't want to make out with me?"

"Of course I want to make out with you, but didn't you say I should focus on my studies?"

In fact, when Shen Ji shared the bed with Li Yunyao at night, looking at Li Yunyao's sleeping face several times, he had the idea of ​​waking him up and discussing this indispensable lesson in life.But after thinking of Li Yunyao's tutoring her homework and the heavy responsibility of the imperial examinations she shouldered, she stopped this thought again.

She thought, in fact, neither she nor Li Yunyao was ready to learn this indispensable lesson in life. If she succumbed to her instinctive desire, what will she have to face the longer and more rugged road!

Li Yunyao smiled as if relieved, and then leaned forward again, followed the warm breath to find those soft lips, and kissed them.

In August, heavy rains continued, and the Yellow River and Bianhe River also entered a period of high floods. The court had to be busy to prevent the river from overflowing and flooding Kaifeng.

At this juncture, the news that Zhao Ping was dismissed suddenly came out of the palace, which shocked the whole court, inside and outside the Song Dynasty.

"Why was Prime Minister Zhao suddenly dismissed?" Shen Ji asked her father curiously.

Shen Yilu glanced at her and said, "You don't know him well, so you care?"

Shen Ji said: "Look at what Daddy said. I used to call him 'Uncle Zhao' anyway. What's wrong with him? Besides, he has been the top leader in the court for more than ten years. Now the officials suddenly dismissed him. For no reason, it makes people tickle with curiosity."

"Didn't I teach you to be cautious in your words and deeds?"

"We father and son are whispering in our own home, no one will know."

Shen Yilu said: "It's hard to say."

Shen Ji didn't understand what it meant, but Shen Yilu didn't intend to explain it to her, so no matter how Shen Ji made indirect remarks, he still couldn't figure out how Zhao Ping was dismissed.

Everyone only knows that he was demoted from being a prime minister with many titles such as "Zuo Pushe and Menxia Servant, Ping Zhangshi" to Jiedushi of the Three Cities of Heyang and Tong Ping Zhangshi.

The full name of "Tongping Zhangshi" should be "Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi", which is a false title.Shen Ji previously thought that having this title meant that he was a prime minister, but in fact it was not the case. Before Zhao Ping was demoted, he was Zuo Pushe and his servant, and after adding the title of Tongping Zhangshi, he was a veritable prime minister.

If you don't have the governors of the three provinces (Zhongshu Shilang, Menxia Shilang, Left and Right Pushe) or the six ministers, Shangshu or above, you can't be regarded as a prime minister.

But Zhao Ping is still related to the "Prime Minister", because Jiedu envoys, privy envoys, etc. are also the governors of the three provinces, or if they have the false title of Tongping Zhang Shi, they are considered "envoys". ①

Of course, although there is only one word difference between the envoy and the prime minister, their positions are different.The former is nothing but vanity, while the latter is a symbol of real power.

In any case, the fact that Zhao Ping was dismissed as Prime Minister has become a conclusion.A few days later, Zhao Ping will leave for Heyang to work. Shen Yilu didn't take into account the old relationship with Zhao Ping when he was a staff member in Zhao Boss's mansion to see him off, but Shen Ji thought that she and Zhao Chengzong also knew each other for a while, so she should go To send him off, he went to Zhao's house after informing Shen Yilu.

Although Zhao Ping was dismissed, no one dared to underestimate him, nor did he think that he had become a soft persimmon that everyone kneaded, so everyone still came to give him a farewell ceremony politely.

Shen Ji didn't go to Zhao's house, after all, no matter how ignorant she was of the world, she sniffed out from some clues that this was the result of the fight between Zhao Ping and Zhao's second son. Are you having a good time?

So she invited Zhao Chengzong to Changqinglou for a farewell party in the name of Dou Shuo.

It can be seen that Zhao Chengzong was very frustrated this time. He drank a lot of wine, and then said to Shen Ji, "You know all the rumors about you and your wife recently, right?"

Shen Ji nodded.

"But I believe that those are all fake. How can you be the kind of shameless person they say that you treat people so sincerely?"

Shen Ji pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "The vicious words of the shameless villain are just slander."

Zhao Chengzong patted her on the shoulder: "If you need help, just send me a letter."

"must."

I don't know if Zhao Chengzong did something while the Zhao family had not completely lost power. The rumors about Shen Ji were not as violent as they were at the beginning among the noble children.

However, in the current situation, no one cares about these things.Zhao Ping was dismissed, so someone should take over, so everyone focused on Xue Zhengan and Lu Yuqing.

There were originally three deputy ministers in the Zhengshitang, namely Xue Zheng'an, the Minister of the Judgment, the Minister of Political Affairs, Lu Yuqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Xigu, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Chief of Political Affairs.However, in May, Liu Xigu wrote four times to request his appointment due to "foot disease". Boss Zhao suppressed several memorials, but finally agreed.

So now there are only two deputy ministers in the political affairs hall.Since there was only Zhao Ping as the prime minister before, everyone believed that the next prime minister would definitely come from Xue Zhengan and Lu Yuqing.

These things have nothing to do with Shen Ji, so she just listened to it.Of course, if she were to choose, she would naturally hope that Xue Zhengan would take the position. When he was criticized by others, Zhao Ping had a good reputation for his style. Zhao Ping did not have the problem of arbitrariness, so not only Shen Ji, but many people hoped that the next prime minister would be him.

Soon, Shen Ji arranged the Zaju, and Lu Nianchuan learned that the source of the rumor was Wu Yuanfan through the sisters of Jiaofang Division!

That day when Wu Yuanfan went to Shen's house to meet Li Yunyao, it was already eye-catching, thanks to the fact that all the servants in Shen's house were trained by Qiu Meng and knew what to say and what not to say, so in Shen No one in the family said Li Yunyao's right and wrong.

Wu Yuanfan paid attention to it for several days, but he didn't hear any rumors about him and Li Yunyao. He was lucky but also unwilling.

Later, an old friend invited him to Beiqu to have a drink and meet prostitutes. He used the drink to relieve his worries, and while drunk, he vented his dissatisfaction to his heart's content.

Although he didn't mention his name, when his old friends heard about it, wasn't Li Yunyao the only one who had a marriage contract with him?It turned out that Shen Ji's lovely wife, who didn't leave the house, had such a love-hate relationship with Wu Yuanfan.

Following Wu Yuanfan's words, they attacked Li Yunyao, who was in love with Qin Muchu and flirtatious, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they began to speculate that Shen Ji and Li Yunyao had been married for so long and there was no movement, and they didn't know if it was not working.

These words were spread among the children of the family as a laughingstock. Of course, they all said it in private. After all, behind Shen Ji and Li Yunyao were the Shen family and the Li family. The rumors are only known to a small group of people.

Even so, this caused serious damage to the reputation of Shen Ji, Li Yunyao, and even the Shen family, so after Shen Ji figured out the source, he started to fight back without hesitation.

At first, Lu Nianchuan asked for help in the drama, but Shen Ji still didn't want to involve her, so he refused.

Finally, under Yan Shu's guidance, she thought of the Jing family.

Li Jurun has a kindness to the Jing family, so Jing Jiuniang has always protected Li Yunyao. The last time I went to Jiangnan, the Jing family went for business in name, but in fact there was another purpose, which was to borrow money from the caravan. The name came to protect Li Yunyao's comprehensiveness.Therefore, the Jing family will not sit idly by when Li Yunyao's reputation is slandered.

So Shen Ji went to Changqing Tower again. Jing Jiuniang already knew her intention of coming, and said: "Just give me the script, Mr. Xiaolang, and I will make proper arrangements."

When everything was ready, Jing Jiuniang sent a message to the young couple Shen Ji and Li Yunyao, inviting them to watch Zaju in Changqing Building.

"When did Changqinglou change storytelling into drama?" Li Yunyao was a little puzzled.

As a big restaurant in Bianliang, in order to attract business, it is natural to use many means to attract customers. In addition to improving the quality of food and drinks, it has to start with service.Service is not only the warm and thoughtful service of the guys in the restaurant, but also some entertainment methods.

In order to attract customers, many restaurants often place a gardenia lamp at the door, indicating that they have that kind of service inside.And Changqinglou didn't follow their example, but in this way, the restaurant's business might be robbed, so Jing Jiuniang moved some entertainment items of Washe to Changqinglou.

The most cost-effective items are naturally some entertainment items such as storytelling and history books, because usually only one or two people are needed, and other entertainment items often require the cooperation of multiple people.

Li Yunyao naturally knew about Changqing Tower, so he asked this question.

"Changqing Building only has storytelling, but you don't want to see who wrote the zaju?" Shen Ji said proudly.

Li Yunyao understood, although she didn't know how she persuaded Changqinglou to perform her zaju, but since the other party invited them, it's okay for them to go.

Shen Ji anxiously took Li Yunyao out.She also didn't know if anyone would watch this drama, if it could fight back against Wu Yuanfan, or even if Li Yunyao would blame her after discovering the truth...

When we arrived at the Changqing Building, the time before the performance was very short, so the inside and outside of the Changqing Building were already crowded with people.Shen Ji was a little surprised: "How many people did Jing Jiuniang find, and how much money did it cost?"

Li Yunyao looked at her with a half-smile: "Why, I'm afraid that no one will watch your drama, so you asked for it?"

Shen Ji sneered: "That can't be specified, I still have great confidence in my works."

Li Yunyao didn't expose her either.

Fortunately, although there were many people, Jing Jiuniang had arranged separate compartments for them, so they hid in the compartment after passing through the crowds.

The restaurant staff brought them tea and snacks in, and Shen Ji asked casually, "How many people did Shopkeeper Jing invite?"

"Invite someone? We didn't invite anyone. These are all spontaneous guests." The man laughed.

"There are more people than usual."

"That's because our shopkeeper said that there is a Zaju performance in Changqing Building today, and tea is free for those who come to watch the Zaju."

"Just because the tea is free?" Shen Ji was shocked.

Li Yunyao said: "In your eyes, a cup of tea doesn't need much money, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it costs a penny and a bowl. Don't underestimate this penny. One penny can buy a liter of rice. Rice is a person’s daily ration. Since it’s free, why not drink it?”

"That's the reason." The restaurant clerk smiled.

Shen Ji let out an "oh" and said nothing more.

Soon, the show began.

The story line of the Zaju written by Shen Ji is not very complicated or very long, because if the story line is long, the performance time will inevitably be very long, which not only tests the professional ability of the performers, but also the audience does not have that long patience.Therefore, the story written by Shen Ji is very simple and straightforward, and the time is controlled within half an hour.

The story is written in Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty. There was a wealthy family named Wu. Because he was a fellow with the Li Tang royal family and the family was powerful, the third child of the Wu family was able to marry Li Shi, the granddaughter of Li Jing, the Duke of Wei.

At the beginning, the husband and wife had a harmonious relationship, loving each other, and Li also served his in-laws, and they were so considerate in every way, making it impossible to find any faults.But with the death of Wei Guogong, the Li family lost power, and Wu Sanlang's attitude towards Li's family turned sharply. He ignored her and did some "red sleeves to add fragrance" in the study, so that Tong Fang and his concubine were riding on Li's head. .

Li Shi was forbearing at the beginning, but her forbearance did not change Wu Sanlang's change of heart, but intensified, and finally divorced his wife under the instigation of the concubine's room.

After Li's divorce, Wu Sanlang soon remarried, and Li also remarried to Shen's son from Wu Xing's wealthy family.After Wu Sanlang learned about it, he ran to Shen's house to ask to see Mrs. Li as a cousin, but was rejected by Mrs. Li, and then angrily slandered Mrs. Li and Mrs. Shen's son for having an affair, which is why they remarried so quickly.

When Li learned of Wu Sanlang's slander, she quoted Cui Yingying's poem to Zhang Sheng in "The Story of Yingying" to express her will to sever the past relationship with Wu Sanlang.

……

After watching this drama, what else does Li Yunyao not understand?

She took a deep look at Shen Ji: "I saw what you wrote that day, it seems that there is no such thing as Wu Sanlang, Li Shi and Shen Shizi?"

Shen Ji looked at her anxiously: "I temporarily changed the protagonist."

Li Yunyao didn't say anything. After returning to Shen's house and closing the door, she stared at Shen Ji expressionlessly: "Now, you can explain it properly."
