1368th: The Tea Party of the Ladies (11)
Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! For the ancient people who lacked entertainment, listening to Mr. Shu telling stories and watching theater troupe acting are rare entertainment activities.
It only takes a penny or two to get through the day.
Some theater troupes and storytellers even go to the countryside to organize activities, and every time they appear, they can cause riots among the people in all villages.
Look at their posture, their fanaticism is almost comparable to the groupies in the live broadcast room.
Under Wei Ci's control, all kinds of "depressed" stories spread from Maruzhou to various places, earning countless sympathies and tears.
The common people went back contentedly after watching the play, but they were thinking about the previous plot in their minds, and the more they thought about it, the more wrong it became.
"Second aunt, do you know that crazy widow in Nancun?"
The second aunt said, "That crazy woman? Passing by her house a few days ago, she grabbed a handful of dog dung and threw it at someone, which made people sick."
The woman said with a pale face, "Second Aunt, you don't know... that crazy widow wasn't crazy before, it was because some idle old Buxiu in the village dragged her daughter to the mountains to play with her to death, and lied that she was raped by her." Blind Xiong bit him to death... The crazy widow saw her daughter's body, and she couldn't stand the blow, so she went crazy. She hit people with dog dung, do you know who it was? The grandsons of those beasts—"
After hearing this, the second aunt gasped suddenly.
She said, "This, isn't this what you just played?"
The woman gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.
The new play performed by the troupe who had just arrived was based on a novelist's new book.
The content of the new book is also simple. In order to avoid being sold to a lame old man by her stepmother, a girl named Gu Sanniang ran away from the village late at night to join the army as a female soldier.
In addition to Gu Sanniang, the most intriguing character in this new play is Gu Sanniang's best friend, Ajia. Ajia is smart and beautiful, but the key is to be brave and resourceful. Most of the credit for Gu Sanniang's courage to escape from marriage and become a soldier is due to Ajia's help.
The people who watched the theater hoped that Ajia could also leave the village, but Ajia was filial to her widowed mother and chose to stay in the village.
A few years later, Gu Sanniang returned home in fine clothes.
In the last play, Gu Sanniang rides a horse back to the village and imagines what Ajia looks like now. The person who plays Gu Sanniang is a very talented little girl who can sing and sing very well. She imagines that Ajia has married a beloved , sons and daughters in pairs, career and family harmony...
In short, in the eyes of Gu Sanniang, a beautiful person like Ajia is qualified to be a queen.
result--
After returning to the village, Gu Sanniang saw Ajia's widowed mother who was insane, and learned from her that Ajia had died four or five years ago.
Just as the people watching the opera guessed the cause of Ajia's death like Gu Sanniang, the crazy widow mother cried and told the truth.
Ajia is still more than a year away from Jiji, and her appearance is becoming more and more beautiful. Several old men in the village have been coveting for a long time. Taking advantage of the time when Ajia's widowed mother is out to work, they use "the widowed mother fell to the field" as an excuse to kill Ajia. He was tricked out, tortured to death, and died without a whole body.
The ending of the story is of course that Gu Sanniang violently murdered and avenged Ajia, but the people watching the show still felt panicked.
The play also reminded them of the crazy widow daughter from years ago!
In addition to this new play, other plays are also a tune.
Even if it was a heart-warming finale, the people always felt that there was something stuck in their throats, making them so disgusted that they couldn't breathe.
Whether it's this Ajia or Wei Ci's Cui Niang and the younger brother, these experiences doomed their lives to not be bright.
When the second aunt came back from washing her clothes, she passed by a house and saw an old man sitting on the other side of the fence staring at her chest. She was so angry that she spit thickly over the fence and sprayed the old man's face. "Bah! Immortals will have retribution!"
Before the old man could react, the second aunt walked home with heavy steps, twisting her waist.
These plots are certainly no coincidence.
When Han Yu called up relevant files from various places to check, Wei Ci picked out a few typical ones as materials.
He will not interfere with what the novelists under his command write, as long as the content is not prohibited.
This time, a propositional novel was released, limiting the content and subject matter of everyone's new book.
Everyone has no objection to this, they can be regarded as people who eat from the public, and writing novels is not only to realize their own ideals, but also a skill to make a living. Wei Ci treated them well, but just wrote some propositional novels according to the requirements, not embarrassing at all.
The new books of these novelists have also become "realistic and depressing dark" novels criticized by later generations as "revenge society series".
Wei Ci's "Cui Niang Biography" is the originator of this genre
_(:з)∠)_
With the ferment of public opinion, people's debate on these matters is getting bigger and bigger.
After the beginning of the new year, Maruzhou, which has been in constant turmoil, is shrouded in a depressive atmosphere that is about to rain.
As the center of this aura, Jiang Pengji can be felt by the salted fish in the live broadcast room, not to mention the bitter overtime dog.
"In order to escape guilt and force good people into prostitution, what kind of sage books do these people read, so they are not afraid that the sages will fall asleep and scold them in the middle of the night?" Jiang Pengji was also pissed off by these people's manipulations. She has never seen such a shameless person before, "All Stepping on a horse is an animal!"
Jiang Pengji was so angry that she burst into foul language.
Qi Guanrang and Wei Ci looked at their noses and noses, as if they didn't hear the indecent words of the lord.
What else could they do?
The lord was so angry that he took seven or eight handprints on that special copper table case, one was darker than the other, and it was about to be scrapped and reworked.
Their bodies and bones are not tougher than that table, how dare they replace them with their bodies?
In addition, everyone looked down on those men who did everything they could to gain profits.
It was a troubled time, and there were many loopholes in the management of good and low status, but it was rare for someone to blatantly force a good one into a low one.
Feng Jin said calmly, "That's just a generation who becomes rampant and forgets his form once he gets rich, and his desires are hard to fill. It's not worthy of my lord's anger."
Although he doesn't pay much attention to the status of the family, he also has to say one thing - there are very few people who can keep their hearts after the poor family is prosperous. If the problem of the gentry is that they are not enterprising and mediocre, then the problem of the common people is that their desires are hard to fill.
But for Jiang Pengji, no matter which group dominates, it is not a good thing.
She has never been someone who likes to wrong herself. How could she let those people offend her taboo?
"That's what I said, but my heart is still a little angry. The thing that just shakes out is already unsightly. Who knows what is hidden in the place that our eyes can't see? Let this kind of beast climb up, I don't know how many innocent people will be killed Live!" Jiang Pengji said, "At first, I wanted to let them go, and just punish them with minor punishments, but now it seems that it is not enough to kill them and punish them severely!"
No one objected to her words, and even the salted fish in the live broadcast room stretched out their hands and feet in agreement.
