After hanging on the wooden stake for a long time, Zhou Jun returned to the wing and fell on the bed, as if his whole body was falling apart.
Huayue, who also suffered from backache, lay on the bed in the small room and shouted, "I'm so hungry."
Zhou Jun replied in the bedroom: "There are leftover cakes from breakfast on the desk."
Huayue thought for a while and then shouted: "Forget it, I won't eat anymore."
Zhou Jun struggled on the bed for a while and finally got up.
After moving his arms, legs and feet, Zhou Jun walked to the study next to the outer hall, spread out the paper, polished the ink, found a book from the shelf, and began to practice calligraphy.
After resting for a while, Hua Yue gained some strength, got up from the bed, and went to the counter to get two cakes.
He held one in his mouth, and Hua Yue took the other. They first went to the bedroom inside and found that Zhou Jun was not there.
After coming out, I looked around and finally found Zhou Jun in the study.
Putting another cake on the small table aside, Hua Yue leaned over and looked at the copybook copied by Zhou Jun.
After watching for a while, Hua Yue frowned and asked, "You write very neatly with charcoal, but why do you write so ugly with a brush?"
Zhou Jun glanced at Huayue, changed the posture of holding the brush to the way of writing in his previous life, and wrote a few more words.
Huayue looked at it for a moment: "Huh? She looks good again."
Zhou Jun sighed: "It's just a habit."
Huayue looked at Zhou Jun, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Erlang, where did you learn this posture of holding a pen?"
Zhou Jun's hand paused, and a few drops of ink spilled from the brush.
Looking at the ink stains slowly spreading on the paper, Zhou Jun laughed softly.
Hua Yueqi asked: "Why are you laughing?"
Zhou Jun: "This is the first time you call me Erlang."
Huayue: "Have you never shouted before?"
Zhou Jun: "When I feel better, I call you you. When I feel worse, I call you by your first name."
Huayue was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "The name of the Tang people is trouble."
Seeing the painted moon go away, Zhou Jun looked at the cakes placed on the small table and whispered to himself: "The green mountains are together with the clouds and rain, how can the bright moon ever be like two towns?"
"After a few days, it's time to say goodbye."
"In a few years, when I return to my hometown, I may forget everything here."
"It doesn't matter if it comes to this, it's just a dream."
In the next ten days, Zhou Jun practiced martial arts with Aunt Gongsun in the morning and practiced calligraphy in the study in the afternoon.
Life is simple but not boring, until a visitor arrives.
That morning, while Zhou Jun was riding a horse on a wooden post, someone came to the porter to report that the eldest son of the Zhou family was outside the door.
Zhou Jun confessed his crime to Mrs. Gongsun and followed the concierge to the gate of Bieyuan. He saw Zhou Ze holding the horse and stopping outside the gate.
Zhou Jun walked over and asked, "Brother, why are you free today?"
Zhou Ze smiled and said to Zhou Jun: "Hengcai, the poetry club is here to invite you."
Zhou Jun: "The poetry club invites someone?"
Zhou Ze: "As for the script of Romance of the West Chamber, I was writing the first few scenes, but there were some discrepancies."
Zhou Jun: "What?"
Zhou Ze: "Nie Xuanluan, who is in charge of singing, and Yin Yu, who is in charge of lines, are having a heated argument over some dispute over words."
"Shao Guanwen tried to persuade me several times, but to no avail."
"He had no choice but to send someone to invite you to the poetry club."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he thought for a while, nodded and said: "Hengcai went to ask for a day's leave from his employer. Brother, please wait a moment."
Half an hour later, Zhou Jun, who was riding on the official road, asked Zhou Ze beside him: "How is the script written?"
Zhou Ze: "The first two scenes were written fairly smoothly, but in the third scene, when Cui Yingying took the matchmaker to worship in the temple, she accidentally met Zhang Sheng, and the script became controversial."
Zhou Jun nodded after listening.
The two entered Chang'an City and rushed to the courtyard of the Poetry Society next to the nunnery.
Shao Chang was relieved when he saw Zhou Jun coming. He quickly raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother Heng to make this trip."
Zhou Jun hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "If Guan Wen is talking about it, it's his duty."
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw a group of poetry club members headed by Nie Xuanluan sitting at a stone table by the stream; while Yin Yu and Yu Junniang led another group of people and stayed in the small pavilion.
The two groups of people were separated by a stream and could not see each other.
Zhou Jun also smiled bitterly when he saw it, and asked Shao Chang: "Can the script be written to accommodate a certain audience?"
Shao Chang took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it into Zhou Jun's hand.
Zhou Jun looked at it carefully.
Compared with the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Tang Dynasty's Romance of the West Chamber is very different in terms of plot and details.
For example, in The Romance of the West Chamber in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, Cui Yingying's maid Matchmaker is a very important role. She is smart and an indispensable supporting role in the whole drama.
However, in the adaptation of the Hongyan Poetry Society of the Tang Dynasty, the role of the matchmaker was reduced, and the character creation was more biased towards the banter.
In terms of character personality, Cui Yingying is more daring to love and hate, and is much braver and more independent.
This adaptation is actually more in line with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, the ethical barriers between men and women were weaker than in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Women do not have so many feudal ethics and rules that suppress human nature, so the characters in the play are naturally more independent.
After reading the script, Zhou Jun also knew where the conflict between Nie Xuanluan and Yin Yu actually occurred.
Nie Xuanluan, who is in charge of the singing part of the play, introduced a lot of singing music into the dialogue when Cui Yingying worshiped Buddha in the third scene, and set the playing music in a soft and elegant style.
However, Yin Yu firmly objected. The reason was that the meeting place was a Buddhist hall, which was solemn and solemn, so how could he use the sound of Mi Mi.
Yin Yu believes that not only should there be no singing music in the dialogue between the two, but the background music should also use brilliant Buddhist music.
The two sides were not dealing with each other, and because of their different opinions, they suddenly started to quarrel.
Shao Chang had no choice but to find Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun thought for a while, and started with the third scene. He took out pen and paper and made two sets of scripts based on the opinions of Nie Xuanluan and Yin Yu.
Then, he called everyone in the poetry club together and said: "I listen to the classical Chinese, and there are some different opinions in the poetry club about the script of The Romance of the West Chamber."
"The writing has no fixed formula and the words are different. This is an ordinary thing."
"If you want to know which view is better, it's actually easy."
After hearing this, everyone asked Zhou Jun what should be done.
Zhou Jun first asked everyone: "Is there anyone who is familiar with music who can play the music of this play?"
With the recommendation of the members of the poetry club, Yu Junniang and several others were recommended.
Zhou Jun first took two different sets of scripts and told them some details.
Then, he turned to the crowd and said, "Is there anyone willing to try acting with so-and-so?"
Seeing Zhou Jun looking at her, Yin Yu glared back fiercely and turned away.
Zhou Jun smiled and chose another person to play Cui Yingying. With the music played by Yu Junniang and others, he took two different scripts and performed them one by one.
After the two plays were performed, everyone saw the trick.
Nie Xuanluan's script contains too many singing and too charming music, which does not match the occasion of the play and dilutes the character's personality.
As for Yin Yu's script, there are too many dialogues and the music is too flat, which makes it feel monotonous and boring.
If the two are combined and modified, a relatively perfect script can be obtained.
Seeing that everyone understood the truth behind this, Zhou Jun said: "It's easy to understand on paper, but I know that I have to do it in detail."
"Instead of spending time and energy arguing about what is right and wrong, it is better to formulate different plans based on each other's opinions, practice them once, and you will naturally see the difference."
Shao Chang couldn't help but nodded after hearing Zhou Jun's words.
Yin Yu frowned and whispered to Yu Junniang beside him.
After some discussion, the two women looked at Zhou Jun with a lot more doubts in their eyes.
