Bachelor

Chapter 59 A New Lyric and a Glass of Wine

Need to get Yang Shen's attention?
this is a problem.

Sun Dan's heart was shocked, but he was a little hesitant.

The three great talents of the Ming Dynasty: Xie Jin, Yang Shen, Xu Wei.

Among them, Xie Jin and Xu Wenchang are well-known figures in later generations, but Yang Shen is unknown.For a long time, they were all overshadowed by the light of these two people.

But Sun Dan knew that when it came to cultural achievements, Yang Shen was not inferior to these two, and was even vaguely a head taller. There is a saying in "History of the Ming Dynasty": In the Ming Dynasty, the richness of memorization and the wealth of writings, prudence is the first.

"Sheng'an Collection" is full of 81 volumes, and it is a mountain that every scholar who studies Ming Dynasty classics and history, literature, exegesis, phonology, and famous objects cannot get around.

Later generations may not know who Yang Shen is, but in the poem "Linjiang Immortal" written by him, the line "Rolling the Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away the heroes, the success and failure turn around, the green hills are still there, and the sunset a few times Red..." is a swan song known to women and children throughout the ages, and even became the theme song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In Sun Dan's mind, this is a cultural giant.

As a modern person, he doesn't worship idols, but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect idols.Regardless of academic achievement or personal charm, Sun Dan has to admit that Yang Shen was the cultural standard-bearer in the early years of Jiajing and a landmark for scholars.

Sun Dan naturally has a hundred ways to get Yang Shen's attention, but there is a problem here.

Wait for another year, once Jiajing ascends the throne, the Yang family will lose power, not only Yang Tinghe will be dismissed, but even Yang Shen will be exiled to the smoky place like Yunnan, where he will never be able to recover for life.Going to burn his hot stove now, I'm afraid it will cause the emperor's displeasure in the future, and it will also have a great impact on his official career.

However, Sun Dan changed his mind, if he could make friends with Yang Shen smoothly, he would also gain a great reputation among scholars.Although it may cause displeasure to the emperor in the future, the political system of the Ming Dynasty was that the emperor and the bureaucrats ruled the world together. The monarchy had not yet expanded to the point where it could decide everything like the Qing Dynasty, and it was often strongly restricted by the civil official group.

If I can make friends with Yang Shen, I can be accepted by the civil official group smoothly, which will be of great benefit to me in the future.As for the emperor, Sun Dan smiled wryly.He hasn't even passed the examination of a scholar yet, so why is he still talking about simplicity in the emperor's heart, and what is he talking about trying to figure out what he wants?
Moreover, the Sun family was originally attached to Yang Tinghe, and since the day Sun Dan joined the Sun family to study, the word "Yang Dang" has been pasted on his forehead.In the future, I will be elected, won the Jinshi, and become an official. In the eyes of the emperor, I will also be an official of the Yang family.If you want to achieve something, you have to closely follow the interest group headed by Yang Tinghe, at least in the early Jiajing period.

People want to be famous while they are young, no matter in any era, if they want to make a difference, they must have ambitions when they are young.

Sun Dan sat on the side of the boat and made a decision in a split second.

As soon as he took a breath, he imitated the audio file and continued to sing: "My body is light and I don't worry about the long journey, I am busy and I am afraid that people will be surprised. I was so scared that my soul disappeared, my soul disappeared, and I missed my youth in Wuling in the world of mortals. "

As soon as the song was sung, Sun Dan blushed.He already had some tone deafness, and he learned it from the audio files according to the gourd painting. As soon as he uttered it, he was really shocked.All of a sudden, everyone on the boat looked sideways, and their expressions changed greatly due to the thunder.

That Jiang Ruoying was already hugging her stomach and laughing on the ground: "Hehe, brother Dan sings this song... Hehe, just like the night owl in the third watch, it will scare people's souls out."

But the cloth official stomped his feet, stretched out two fingers to cover his ears, and couldn't help but coquettishly said: "It's so ugly, shut up, don't listen to me, don't listen to me."

Now that he has spoken, Sun Dan can't care so much, and then sang: "I really hope that the Marquis Feng Wanli Banchao is now forced to be a traitorous red scarf and a yellow nest for betraying the master. Cage the cunning rabbit, pluck the net and fly the dragon. Who will punish Zhengmao when it is difficult to save the country? It is rare to be punished by Gaoyao."

This passage is the libretto of Peking opera in the later period of the Republic of China, not Yang Shen's original one.

It is undeniable that in the Republic of China and modern times there are still many masters of lyrics, such as Wang Zengqi who wrote model operas, his lyrics are not much inferior to those of famous ancient masters.

As for the passage Sun Dan sang just now, the original author cannot be verified.But no matter what, the libretto of "Lin Chong Running at Night", from the beginning of Yang Shen to the end of Li Kai, has gone through 500 years, and has been polished, deleted, and refined by many famous masters.Up to now, it is too much to add a word, and too little to subtract a word.

At the beginning, everyone was still laughing when they heard Sun Dan's strange tone.But after listening for a long time, the ridicule on everyone's faces stopped, and gradually became serious.Especially the cloth official, who is the troupe leader, has been immersed in this industry all his life, so how can he not understand the mystery of it.

He put down the fingers that blocked his ears, and when Sun Dan finished singing this sentence, he took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Good words!"

"It's really a good word." Yang Shen in the cabin suddenly yelled: "I just wrote this paragraph, but I couldn't continue because I was exhausted. Go on, you are really talented. It's a pity that your voice is not good, so let someone else sing and listen to it. Buguan, you come."

"Yes." The cloth official was about to sing.

Jiang Ruoying, who was sitting next to Sun Dan, suddenly opened his mouth and continued.

This sound was as clear as a gurgling mountain spring, without any impurities.

Sun Dan was taken aback, he never expected that Jiang Ruoying's voice was so good.If this voice is left in later generations, it will definitely be able to enter a professional theater troupe.

This sound happened to pick up where the little Tsing Yi couldn't sing, and it was very low at the beginning.But gradually, the pitch became higher and higher, until finally it seemed to fly out of the high sky clouds, stirring up the dark clouds in the sky, coming down heavily, turning into goose feathers and flying snow, echoing on the cruel and desolate forage field of the army.

And in the white snow, Lin Chong staggered forward with a long gun on his shoulder, stumbling step by step.

At the end of the song, the echo rippled on the lake, lingering for a long time.

The deck fell silent, no one spoke, and everyone looked at Jiang Ruoying fixedly.In particular, the boss named Buguan looked over with bright eyes, but unfortunately, he was in a humble position, but he didn't dare to get close to these four scholars.

"Good voice." Sun Dan applauded and laughed.

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and said: "Definitely."

Jiang Ruoying's face turned reddish: "I used to hire an opera troupe at a Suzhou person's house. I heard this play and learned a few words."

"Good voice, good words, good artistic conception." The figures in the cabin flickered, and a tall, handsome middle-aged man came out, holding a jug of fine wine in his hand, and laughed loudly: "I never thought that the Sun family would have such a good talent. Good words have overwhelmed me."

He walked up to Sun Dan, took a sip from the tin pot, and threw it over with his hands: "A new song with a glass of wine, young boy, you have a sip too."

Sun Dan raised his hand to take the jug, and took a long gulp: "Good wine, sing high to get drunk and masturbate, dance to the setting sun to win glory, thank you." He secretly smiled in his heart: Little Bachelor Yang, you have finally been lured out by me.People can't be uninterested, as long as you want to be interested, I have ways to deal with you.

It can't be seen that Yang Shen, who is talented in literature, is a bold and unrestrained person. He wears a pair of wooden clogs on his feet, and his clothes are not very neat.

He snatched the fine wine from Sun Dan, and smiled loudly: "Boy of the Sun family, this jug of fine wine is worth a tael of silver, so it can't just be cheap for you. The sentence just now was well answered. If you are really capable, you can drink it in a pot The work of tea has made up for me, and this pot of wine belongs to you."

Sun Dan secretly said, don't say it's time for a pot of tea, you can ask me to complete it for you within 2 minutes.

He smiled intentionally: "I have a habit of writing lyrics. I like to write lyrics while drinking. Without alcohol, I have no inspiration."

"Hehe, you're not cheating on my drinking, we'll see how you end up at that time." Yang Shen slapped his hands, and two attendants brought out a small table, which was placed on the Four Treasures of the Study.

Yang Shen pointed at the coffee table: "Sun family boy, it's up to you."

Sun Dan smiled, took a sip of wine, and wrote with a pen: "With the Xueren knife in my arms, I took a step and cried, crying and wailing, and hurried to Luyao."

Yang Shen looked Sun Dan up and down with an "uh" sound: "It's good to have a bell, Wang Xiaokai, and a sentence to go to Lu Yao in a hurry. Lin Chong's hesitation and carelessness made you write hard. The cloth official played your pipa for me." , then who." He pointed at Jiang Ruoying: "You continue to sing."

The clank of the pipa sounded, and so did Jiang Ruoying's high-pitched and clear singing.

In this way, Sun Dan drank a sip of wine and wrote a line, while Jiang Ruoying sang a line, until Sun Dan wrote the last line, "Running in the wilderness overnight, earning a life with one life. Go to Liangshan to borrow soldiers." After writing, It can be regarded as the evil corner of this famous sentence through the ages.

Yang Shen's jug of fine wine is a rare distilled baijiu with a high degree of alcohol. When Sun Dan finished writing this part, he was a little drunk.

Yang Shen snatched the paper full of dripping ink and looked at it, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, up to now, this place is finally done. Buguan."

"I am here."

"Take it well, sing well, and I promise you will be popular all over the capital."

"Thanks to your old man, it's hard for the cloth official not to be popular."

"Haha, you guys are always so sweet."

Everyone laughed.

At this moment, the boat just turned around a lake blade, and a bright light appeared in front of it, but there was a big boat with brilliant lights.

Probably everyone's laughter caught the attention of the people on board, and someone shouted, "Is it from the Zhan family class?"

"Exactly, he is a cloth official, and you are from De Wangfu?" The cloth official replied coquettishly.

"We belong to the palace, and we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Sun Dan was startled, it turned out to be the ship of King De's Mansion.Both Mr. Li and Sun Yue should be on it, but they cannot be seen.

He hurriedly said, "Sir, can we hide in your cabin?"
