Bachelor

Chapter 56

"Zheng!" A pipa sounded.An old man was sitting at the table with a pipa in his arms, looking at the audience below with lifeless eyes, his eyes seemed to be in a trance, like a hollow hole.

The teahouse fell silent, and dozens of listeners pricked up their ears at the same time.

After a while, the old man slowly withdrew his confused gaze from the crowd, and landed on the pipa in his hand that had already been painted.

In an instant, Sun Dan saw a flash of light in the old man's eyes.

Then, the gray-haired old man suddenly raised his head, opened his throat, and chanted in a shocking voice:
"Ask God,
Fu Jianlang turned around,
It must be fame,
Think of the mash of the fisherman Weng Yucun,
Thinking about the fisherman and his wife sharing the soup with mountains and vegetables;
Sister Dao Lang,

Little Anu was so happy that her son Feng Guanxia was raped by Wu,
I want to live my life as a fisherman and woodcutter. "

Sun Dan was shocked by the old man's voice. He never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous guy had such a clear voice.

If you guessed right, this should be a famous Sanqu.

Sanqu is a long and short sentence lyrics combined with music.Yuan people called it "Yuefu" or "Juefu".It is also diverse in content and form, with equal emphasis on lyrics and music, and has a high status in the minds of later generations. It is considered to be another major literary achievement after Tang poetry and Song lyrics: Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and Yuan Sanqu.

The Sanqu of the Ming Dynasty has some small changes on the basis of the Sanqu of the Yuan Dynasty. The style of the song is more mellow and feminine, and the content is mostly about describing the emotional life of ordinary citizens, which is a bit like modern pop songs.

Of course, the quality of Ming Sanqu varies from good to bad, and some even have pornographic jokes.For example, in the song sung by the old man just now, the line "Little Anu is so happy that Bozi Feng Guanxia was robbed" is suspected of eighteen bans. Jiang Ruoying spit softly, and Yuan Huhu's face turned red: "What, it's unbearable, you let me come to this kind of place?"

Sun Hao and Sun Gui are children. Although they were ambitious to come out to prostitute before, they were just talking about it. When they really encountered a big scene, they felt embarrassed.Hearing Jiang Ruoying's words, the two felt embarrassed.

Sun Dan, on the other hand, doesn't care. In modern times, compared with the mobile phone pornography of later generations, the level of Sanqu just now is not good enough, and he feels that there is nothing as pure as a puddle of clear water.Therefore, he only felt that the tune was not bad, a bit like Huangmei Opera, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Seeing Sun Dan's calm face, Sun Hao and Sun Gui felt a little admiration in their hearts, and secretly said: Sun Dan made a lot of evasions when he talked about prostitution earlier, and even put on an upright gentleman, but he is actually a stable person when he really gets into the scene .He is really calm in every major event, and he is indeed the oldest and mature person in the school.

Sun Danruo knew what the two boys were thinking, and was afraid that they would jump up in anger.It's not that he can hold his breath, in fact, this kind of song is really no big deal, has he thought about it.

The nightlife in the Ming Dynasty was much simpler than that in later generations, but it was not impossible.The country has been in peace for a long time. After nine generations of emperors Chengzu, Ren, Xuan, Jingtai, Tianshun, and Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty has been prosperous and stable. It is the center of the world and a paradise on earth.In an inland metropolis like Jinan, the people are rich.Every night, the citizens who are free will always go out of their homes and play tricks on the street.In the city, the major restaurants, teahouses, boats, and casinos are full of people, and they will not quiet down until midnight.

The tea house where Sun Dan and the others came is a bit like a small modern theater, where storytellers and juggling shows are staged from time to time.

Ordinary citizens don't have much culture, and you can't demand them with the quality of modern people. Therefore, dirty jokes with a little color are very welcome, and everyone loves to hear them.

Today, after the old man who played the pipa sang an opening remark, he stopped his hand, cleared his throat, and told a beautiful story about the noble son Yu Yumei.Sun Dan listened carefully, and it turned out that it was the prototype of "Legend of the White Snake", but it was a bit more ambiguous and vulgar than the familiar classic stories of later generations.

The audience all salivated and cheered repeatedly.

The expression on Jiang Ruoying's face became more and more embarrassing, she spat, and said to him from left to right: "This book is not very interesting, whoever of you can find a pen and paper, let's write down our wishes and send them to Daming Lake later."

"I'll go, I'll go." Sun Gui knew that he was not welcomed by everyone, and knew that if he continued to fight against Sun Hao and Sun Dan, he would suffer in the future.Wanting to please, he stood up and looked for the owner of the tea house to find some thick kraft paper and pen and ink.

This set of Four Treasures of the Study was originally used by the tea house to write water signs, so the quality is naturally not comparable to that of the schoolchildren in the Sun House.

Everyone took the pen and wrote down their wishes on a piece of paper.

Sun Hao's wish is simple: make a fortune and make a fortune.

Sun Gui's situation is much more complicated: a scholar with a high school degree, a small fortune, a good job in the future, a beautiful wife and three or four beautiful concubines.

Both of them were clumsy, so after they finished writing, they asked Jiang Ruoying to help them fold the paper boat.

Jiang Ruoying was not polite either, she took it and took it apart and looked at it, and laughed after seeing it: "Brother Hao's wish is so simple, are you still short of money? There are quite a lot of dirty things in your head."

Sun Gui blushed: "Everyone thinks so, but I'm too embarrassed to write it out."

"Bah!" Jiang Ruoying turned her nose up and snorted, "Who said that, Sun Dan wouldn't think about such dirty things." After speaking, she stretched out her hand and snatched the note from Sun Dan's hand, unfolded a Look, "What's this?"

Sun Hao and Sun Gui also stretched their heads over, and said at the same time: "I want to be Su Pomen."

Sun Dan smiled and did not explain.

Jiang Ruoying was about to ask, but the old man who was speaking suddenly stopped, and there was another sonorous pipa sound:
"The man was held back by the traveler, so he had to say: "This is the border of Uzang, and it is called Gao Laozhuang. Most of the people in this village have the surname Gao, so they call it Gao Laozhuang. You let me go." Go." The traveler said again: "You are not a shortcut when you pack like this. You tell me where you are going and what you are doing before I let you go." This man had no choice but to tell the truth. Said: "I am a family member of Grandpa Gao, named Gaocai. My grandpa has a daughter who is only 20 years old and has never been married. She was taken by a goblin three years ago...'"

The four of them were all stunned, and then Sun Hao suddenly called out: "Zhi Niang, isn't this the section in "Journey to the West" "The Tang Monk of the Guanyin Temple escapes the disaster and the walker of Gaolaozhuang Conquers the Devil"?"

"That's right, that's right, that's the story Sun Dan told. I heard that it has been compiled into a book. The author's name is Penglai Immortal." Jiang Ruoying exclaimed excitedly: "I like this part of "Journey to the West" the most. , that Bajie is so funny! Be quiet, let's listen."
