I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Chapter 77



The story of Zhenniang was written by Fu Wenyu at the request of Liu Changmiao, in order to inspire his elder sister Liu Changlian to read it and not to lose herself because of love, and to give up everything she has and put her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on another person.

So the heroine Zhenniang's life in the early stage was very beautiful, with loving parents, loyal maids, and a talented and mutually affectionate husband. Even if the mother-in-law occasionally gossiped, the beautiful life made the "beautiful life" more real.

But in the middle of the story, Zhenniang's experience was very tragic, and she lost everything little by little.

First there was mental depression, then there were hardships in life, and in the end her world was left with only the pillar called "love", but one day, "love" also collapsed.

Then she fought back after breaking it down.

The more painful and depressed she was in the front, the more resolute and sharp her counterattack would be in the back. The miserable end of the bad guy is enough to make everyone who sympathizes with Zhenniang cheer loudly.

The same is true for Zhang, the shopkeeper. He sighed: "I originally thought that this story you wrote would be similar to Sun Xiucai's "East Chamber", in the end Zhenniang died and Bu Shiren married a new woman."

"I didn't expect it to end like this."

"This ending is good!"

He shook his head, "I also have a daughter. If she meets a bad man in the future, I hope she is Zhenniang, not Yuanniang or Qinniang in Sun Xiucai's story."

Fu Wenyu comforted, "There are still very few people like Bu Shiren."

Because he is Chen Shimei, Xue Rengui, Liu Bang, and the shadow of all scumbags from ancient times to the present. He is a minority among the minority, and there are not many in reality.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled, "That's true."

But after a pause, he asked again: "Did you invite the Changxi Troupe to rehearse this play? Then when the play is rehearsed, remember to leave a few seats for me. I want to take my daughter to see it."

Fu Wenyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Because the submission and printing of the book had been handed over to Shopkeeper Zhang, Fu Wenyu devoted himself to the rehearsal of the opera in the following time.

He did not comment on how the male and female protagonists and the main supporting roles changed the lines and sang, and laymen did not guide insiders. But what clothes to wear, what kind of makeup to put on, how to move on the stage, how to set up the scenery, and what kind of expression to show in order to make the audience more engaged, Fu Wenyu directed based on his experience in dramas, musicals, documentaries, etc.

And after a few days of rehearsal, Fu Wenyu had a new idea. He felt that he could expand a new performance route for the martial arts team, so he pulled Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe, who were idle at home, over.

Because the story has been completed, and some of the others have learned the "Thirteen Yunxiao Styles", the martial arts team's popularity has dropped a lot. Teahouses and theaters only need to perform every few days. Therefore, when they heard Fu Wenyu's words, the two who had just tasted the taste of making money came without hesitation.

Fu Wenshu: "Wenyu, just tell me what you want to do."

Fu Wenhe: "Yes, Wenyu, don't be polite to us. If Wenshu and I are not enough, I will go back to the village to help you get a dozen or twenty people."

Fu Wenyu hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, you watch more, listen more, and learn more."

He said so, and he did so.

Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe are brothers, and the two of them have been running around with the team for the past few months, and they also went to the capital in the middle. Their vision and way of dealing with people are very different from others.

He did not hesitate to command such experienced talents.

Fu Wenyu first customized costumes for the male and female protagonists, as well as some major supporting roles.

The heroine Zhenniang has five sets of clothes. One set is for her before and after marriage, and it is mainly a lively girl style. One set is for her after one or two years of marriage. At this time, she was depressed and unhappy, so the clothes were light blue. When Bu Shiren left, her life took a sharp turn for the worse, and the clothes she wore became cloth clothes. During the last days of digging wild vegetables, the cloth clothes became worn-out cloth clothes with patches of different colors on them.

As for the Bu family, it is the opposite of Zhenniang.

When the hero Bu Shiren appeared, he was wearing a cloth clothes that was washed white. When the two got married, he changed into a silk scholar's robe embroidered with exquisite patterns. It was made by Zhenniang. When he passed the imperial examination, the scholar's robe was changed into an official uniform...

The same is true for Bu's mother, Bu Xiaomei, and the niece from her mother's family. The clothes of the three people became more and more gorgeous, and there were more and more jewelry on their heads, and they were all worn by Zhenniang.

Not only that, the makeup on Zhenniang's face became older and older. When it came to a climax of the play, Bu Shiren, who had become an official, returned home, and Zhenniang hurriedly ran from the remote house to the front yard. The two of them stood together like a servant in her forties or fifties and a 20-year-old young master of the master's family. The contrast was very sharp.

Of course, the fabrics in ancient times were not cheap, so these clothes were not all newly made. Some were clothes that the troupe already had, and only a few sets were new.

But even so, it surprised everyone in the troupe.

Before this, they had never changed their makeup and clothes, nor had they had the concept of switching scenes. They were all up, down, up again, and down again, and they would not change again after they were dressed up.

So singing opera can be like this?

Facts have proved that only they could not think of it, but Fu Wenyu would not dare to do it.

After handling the character's costume and makeup, he reached out to the stage. Because Liu Changmiao gave him 500 taels of silver, and he would not take any of the money he earned from selling the book or the theatrical troupe's share, so Fu Wenyu simply took out 100 taels of silver to rehearse the opera.

Only part of it was spent on clothing, jewelry, etc., and the rest was used to buy things needed for the stage. The troupe already had common things like tables, chairs, benches, screens, so there was no need to worry. But other bits and pieces require extra preparation, such as lamps and lantern riddles that serve as tokens of love between two people, as well as the lotus lantern that flows with the river, etc.

In order to achieve the best effect, Fu Wenyu also asked a carpenter to nail several wooden frames of different sizes, and asked Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe to shovel some pieces of turf with wild vegetables from outside the city and put them in, so that 'Zhenniang' could You can also 'dig wild vegetables' on the platform.

His enthusiasm also inspired the people in Changxi Class.

The class leader was busy following him, his eyes brightening as he looked at the clothes and scenery, while the male and female protagonists and supporting actors took the time to memorize their lines and memorize their moves. Ru Niang, who plays ‘Zhen Niang’, also took the time to compose a song to be sung when Zhen Niang is digging wild vegetables.

While Fu Wenyu and everyone in the Changxi class were busy, Liu Changmiao was not idle either.

Liu Changmiao recently returned from school and has been staying at home and not going anywhere.

In the past, when he was quiet at home, he would either hide in the room and read a storybook, or he would be restrained by his father and elder brother in studying, and he would rarely be with his grandmother and mother. But this time it was very different. As soon as he got home, he ran to the backyard and did not return to his room until after dinner.

As time passed, Liu Changyan felt strange, so he stopped the person: "Where are you going?"

Liu Changmiao, who was about to go to his grandmother's home, turned around and said confidently: "I'm going to talk to my grandmother and mother. Brother, don't stop me."

Liu Changyan almost laughed angrily. If he was serious, how could he stop people?

So Hu lowered his face and said, "Come with me."

Liu Changmiao hesitated for a moment and thought it wouldn't matter if he went over later to watch the eldest sister, so he followed her.

Then when the two brothers arrived in the study, Liu Changyan first asked someone to sit down, and then asked: "You have been running to the backyard recently. What do you want to do?"

Liu Changmiao hesitated, then said: "If I don't do anything, I just go and talk to my grandmother and mother. Brother, don't you always ask me to spend more time at home with them?"

Liu Changyan is a young man in his twenties, who is very similar to Liu Changmiao. The difference is that he has a bookish air all over him because he has read poetry and books, and he is also gentle in speech and does not get angry easily. Liu Changmiao, on the other hand, has a youthful spirit about him, and he doesn't even sit still. For example, although he was sitting down at this moment, he was sitting crookedly, which was in stark contrast to Liu Changyan's upright posture.

So Liu Changyan frowned when he saw Liu Changmiao's appearance.

"Sit tight!"

"Before I went to the capital, I asked you to stay at home, study peacefully, and spend more time with your grandmother and mother, but did you do it? Not only did you go out and fool around all day long, but you also went to Jiangzhou every two days. If not It seems that all the money you took from your father-in-law was used to buy story books and some gadgets. If you didn’t do anything stupid, your legs would have been broken by dad a long time ago. "

Liu Changmiao subconsciously shrank her legs.

Then he thought that he had done nothing bad. He was not like Sun Datou who went to a brothel to "experience things", nor was he like that so-and-so who spent time in a gambling house every day. Even the things at home were almost stolen and pawned by him. .

As for the five hundred taels given to Mr. Fu a few days ago, except for the three hundred taels that were his lucky money, the rest were given by his grandmother, mother and eldest sister in the past six months. They will give 10 taels today and 15 taels tomorrow. Another twenty taels will be given the day after tomorrow. This kind of thing happened often in the past. Dad and eldest brother will not suspect it.

At most, Li Fuzi would complain.

But it's not just this year that Korikushi complained. Dad and eldest brother should be used to it.

So he stretched out his feet again and replied: "Brother, I went to Jiangzhou for serious business. You should know what my brother-in-law's family is doing. Their family has been bullying my eldest sister!"

Liu Changyan frowned, "Dad and I have our own ideas about this matter. Otherwise, why do you think dad and I would leave your eldest sister and Lei Mingbai at home and prevent him from going back to Jiangzhou?"

Liu Changmiao's eyes widened, "Brother, you actually said 'get out'!"

Liu Changyan: "..."

He took a deep breath and muttered, 'This is my biological brother', and then said: "Tell me, what are you doing these days? Your sister-in-law told me when you came back that you didn't do anything when you came to the grandmother's courtyard. I often stare at your eldest sister.”

"What do you want to do?"
