"I was about to invite my father-in-law to the table. [Member Login] It's just..." Ruan Dacheng looked embarrassed and hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it directly. He looked at Cao Huachun with his eyebrows, meaning
It's very obvious.
How could Cao Huachun and others, eunuchs who had experienced three dynasties, not know that Ruan Dacheng had something difficult to say to him, but he did not dare to say it directly. He had to wait until he asked him before he dared to say it.
Ruan Dacheng privately invited someone else to come. He was still a little unhappy. He was going south in a very secretive way. The emperor was responsible for it, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better. If the matter was leaked and Donglin was on guard, this would be a plan to draw out the firepower.
If it does, it won't work, and all the saint's planning will be in vain.
But now that he has arrived, Ruan Dacheng is still very respectful to him, and he is an old friend of Feng Quan. He is not easy to get angry, so he calmly asks: "If you have anything to say, don't hesitate. Our family
I don’t like people like this.”[
"Yes Yes."
After hearing what Cao Huachun said, Ruan Dacheng did not dare to hesitate anymore and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law, there is another person in our house who said that he has met my father-in-law several times. He wants to pay a visit to my father-in-law. I wonder if he can grant his permission?"
"Who?" Cao Huachun was slightly stunned. Who in Suzhou had met him several times? He had been in the capital, but he couldn't remember having any friendship with anyone in Nanzhili.
"This man's surname is Ma, his given name is Shiying, and his surname is Yaocao. He and his student were both Jinshis in the 44th year of Wanli reign. He was dismissed from the post of governor of Xuanfu just last year and lives in Jinling." Ruan Dacheng looked at Cao Huachun's face and was careful.
answer.
"Oh! It turns out to be Ma Shiying. Our family knows a thing or two about him. Ma Shiying is also a shameless man. When he came to the Xuanfu, he did not pay a visit to the eunuch Wang Kun. That's all. The official who spent thousands of taels
He gave gifts of silver to the dignitaries in the court, but he refused to pay any blood to stop Wang Kun's mouth. How qualified is Wang Kun? How can we give him some credit? How can we swallow this bad breath? Such people don't know how to advance or retreat.
, a fool who only cares about the past and not the future, no wonder Wang Kun can't tolerate him. He is asking for trouble and cannot blame others."
Cao Huachun naturally knew that Ma Shiying offended Wang Kun, the eunuch guarding Datong. Wang Kun, like Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen under his own name, all came from hidden houses and were favored by the Holy One. It was not easy for him to offend him.
Ma Shiying, who is not easy to offend, offended Wang Kun. Naturally, no one in the inner court helped him. But what is strange is that Ma Shiying is also a Donglin Party member, but I don’t know why the Donglin Party doesn’t help him.
He came out ahead.
Cao Huachun was confused, and his opinion of the Donglin Party was getting worse and worse. During the Tianqi Dynasty, he was still relatively close to the Donglin Party. However, since this dynasty, he has seen the chaos in the court and the emperor being controlled by the Donglin Party.
As a member of the Donglin Party, he has become less and less fond of the Donglin Party.
Ma Shiying was a member of the Donglin Party, and he offended the inner court. This made Cao Huachun very rude when he spoke, and did not make Ruan Dacheng look good at all. Hearing that Ruan Dacheng was very embarrassed, he did not dare to stand up for Ma Shiying.
What's the excuse? After Cao Huachun finished speaking, Fang stepped forward and said with a careful apology:
"My father-in-law is aware that Yaocao was confused for a moment and made such an oversight. He really did not underestimate the prince and had the intention to go against him. Now Yaocao regrets it so much that he still hopes that his father-in-law will save him." After saying that, he took out a card from his sleeve. The big red pinned gold paper was presented respectfully.
Cao Huachun only glanced at it slightly and put it into his sleeve. He saw a long line of fine handwriting written on it. He knew that the gift was expensive and the loyal king wanted it, but this extraneous thing was also lovable.
He smiled calmly, raised his hand slightly, and said to Ruan Dacheng: "Tell him to come out!"
"Yes, father-in-law!"
Ruan Dacheng's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he hurriedly waved his hand to the servant to invite Ma Shiying to come and meet him.
After a while, Ma Shiying, who was dressed in Confucian uniform and was a little short and thin, came to the hall. When he saw Cao Huachun, he immediately came forward to pay homage to Cao Huachun without being introduced by Ruan Dacheng: "Young man, Ma Shiying, comes to see Eunuch Cao!" He was a little thinner than Ruan Dacheng, knowing that he was He has been dismissed from office and is just a commoner. He doesn't even use empty words like expulsion.
For the sake of the great gift, Cao Huachun nodded with a smile, stood up, motioned Ma Shiying to get up, and then asked Ruan Dacheng: "What kind of show is this today?"
"My father-in-law, although the world ranks the student's family class second, in recent years, the student has concentrated on arranging several new plays, and its reputation is on par with Zhang Dai's family class." Ruan Dacheng rushed to lead the way. , boasting happily, with a very proud face.
"Let's just pick your best show and put on a show. If it looks interesting to our family, we can do more. If it's interesting, let's forget it."
As Cao Huachun walked, he looked at the quiet surroundings of the courtyard. He saw the shadow of ancient trees and the fragrance of flowers. This courtyard must be the ancestral property of some aristocratic family. Although it is somewhat decadent, the prosperity of the past can still be seen.
Come to think of it, Feng Quan's words are true. Ruan Dacheng is indeed wealthy, otherwise he would not have been able to buy such a property in Suzhou.[
"My father-in-law is a guest, so students can make their own decisions. Please ask your father-in-law to read a piece of "Swallow Notes"!" Ruan Dacheng said with a flattering smile on his face.
"Is it a new play? Our family has never heard of it." Cao Huachun said casually, but he didn't know about "Swallow Notes".
Ma Shiying said with an apologetic smile from behind: "My father-in-law is right. This is a play recently written by Brother Yuan Hai. The lyrics are clever and it is the joy of ZTE. It is no less than Tang Ruoshi's "Four Kinds of Yumingtang"."
"Brother Yaocao is so complimentary." Ruan Dacheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In terms of literary talent and ingenuity, and the setting of scenes to create emotions, the students' legends can be regarded as numerous and innovative, not falling into the stereotypes, and can be compared with Mr. Ruoshi. When it comes to self-compilation and self-entertainment, one must be one's true nature, sing and perform, and appear on stage; one must support actors and actresses by personally explaining, focusing on eyes, emotions, joints, fights, gags, and emotions. Be sure to make the actors understand their meaning. Taste, knowing where to go, Mr. Tang still has some shortcomings! My father-in-law has been with the emperor for many years, and his vision is high, so I still need to ask for advice!"
Although Cao Huachun was a talented scholar in the inner study hall, he mostly read temple articles about loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, and he never dabbled in dramas, literature, and erotic songs. He worked in the palace for many years, and only glanced at "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Peony Pavilion" during the Qianqiu Festival. "The Legend of Pipa", the rest had never been heard of, and there was little chance of seeing it. But just leaving the capital, he was looking for some excitement and had a look. As for Ruan Dacheng's boastful words, he pretended not to have heard them at all. Out, too lazy to pay attention.
Talking perfunctorily along the way, the two of them turned around the verandahs and winding alleys, and suddenly they saw an unusually open garden in front of them. Colored lanterns were hung high, as bright as daytime. House slaves and actors were busy shuttling back and forth. A pool was erected out of thin air in the garden. A theater shed has a hall in the middle. There are several pillars in the middle of the hall, and couplets are hung on the four front pillars.
Looking around, you can see lush pines and cypresses, rippling green waves, dancing pavilions and singing platforms, and towering red eaves. It is really a pleasant place.
What a wonderful place, much more elegant than the Western Garden!
Cao Huachun secretly praised and sat down at the main seat without showing a word. Just as he sat down, one of Ruan Dacheng's servants brought up a large food box. A delicate-looking maid opened the lid of the box and brought out sixteen dishes of eight large, eight small, and eight sizes. Next to the dishes, a casserole was served, which was filled with steaming hot and fragrant Wansan Hoof.
Just as Cao Huachun was about to raise chopsticks, the maid brought out an appetizing fruit plate with four colors: golden candied dates, golden kumquats, white sugar bayberry, and nine kinds of tangerine peel.
Ruan Dacheng personally filled the pot with wine, and the three of them raised glasses and drank together. Cao Huachun ate the first dish and shouted loudly, so he rewarded him with one or two silver coins. After eating two more dishes, he felt that the world was delicious and he was very happy. , also called reward twelve.
When Ruan Dacheng saw that he was enjoying his meal, he waved his hand towards the stage. The leader understood the situation and started playing the flute.
"Swallow Notes" tells the story of the joys and sorrows of Huo Duliang and prostitutes Hua Xingyun and Li Feiyun in the Tang Dynasty. It is divided into forty-two parts and cannot be completed in half an hour.
Ruan Dacheng only selected a section of "Treacherous Escape" from among them. The sheng, pipes, flutes and flutes were played in unison. A handsome young man in rich clothes came up, followed by an old man in official uniform with a gray beard. After a while, a slightly coquettish woman came up, and the three of them came up. People intertwined and rapped.
Ruan Dacheng took advantage of the break in rap to point and explain: "Father, please look, the person dressed as Hua Xingyun is Zhu Yinxian, the leading actress of our class. She sings, sings, and beats, and is unstoppable. She really looks like what she is doing, and she is so cute. Endearing."
Cao Huachun began to feel that the excitement was fun, and saw that Zhu Yinxian was indeed outstanding in appearance, with pink face and peach cheeks, and she was very charming.
When Zhu Yinxian caught a glimpse of Cao Huachun looking at her with good eyes, she tried her best to sing very hard, with a soft and gentle tone, clear and long.
After all, Cao Huachun was an eunuch who had been castrated. He no longer had the ability to like women. After watching it for half an hour, I felt a little tired of it. The lyrics of Kun Opera were like a book from heaven. I couldn't hear a single word clearly. After listening to it for a long time, I couldn't help but feel anxious. , became dizzy, and patiently managed to hear Xian Yuji running away in a hurry, got up and went to the waterside pavilion to rest.
Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying, on the other hand, seemed to be unfinished. When they praised Cao Huachun from time to time and asked him what he thought of it, Cao Huachun reluctantly praised him perfunctorily: "Mr. Yuan Hai is really talented, but after all, drama is a minor art. It would be a pity to indulge in it." "
Hearing this, Ruan Dacheng immediately looked sad and said with a bitter look: "My father-in-law has learned from me. In fact, the student is unwilling to do so. He just wants to serve the country."
Ma Shiying also bowed and said: "Now the Donglin Party controls the government and appoints people only based on the selfish interests of one party. Even the emperor has been deceived by them. Brother Yuan Hai couldn't stand their selfishness, so he wrote "Dianjiang Lu of Donglin" to use it as a satire. To be regarded as an eunuch and to be listed as a traitor, there is really no justice in the world! Fortunately, there are honest ministers like my father-in-law who know right from wrong. Even though we died unjustly, we are extremely grateful." He said this. He covered his face and wept, as if he had really been unjustly killed.
"Huh?" Cao Huachun sneered secretly. These two people have dirty butts, but they can say that they are so unjust. It is really shameless and funny.[
Seeing that Ruan Dacheng was so aggrieved that he seemed about to cry, Cao Huachun deliberately teased him, put down the tea cup, and said calmly: "Our family heard that every time Mr. Yuan Hai visited Wei Zhongxian's house, he would ask for his famous assassination when he left.
So when we searched the Wei Mansion, we didn't see any evidence. Is this possible?"
