Prince...

Su Yang sat in the Dong family's bookshop and looked out through the window. He saw soldiers walking through the streets. He listened to these people's words and deeds, which were very different from those in Jiangnan, and it was the accent of the capital.

Prince? Whose grandson?

"I don't know where they heard the news. I heard that the White Lotus Sect is making a big fuss in Hangzhou City now. Now these people come to Hangzhou City, ask people from door to door, and search for books and magazines such as the Old Testament and the Gospel. As long as one is found, the whole family will be arrested."

Manager Dong stood behind Su Yang and said in a panic: "He has already arrested a friend in Hangzhou City."

That's normal.

Su Yang secretly said that the current development of the White Lotus Sect is enough to arouse the court's vigilance.

"How many people have been arrested? Where are you locked up now?"

Su Yang asked Manager Dong.

“Black tea is being investigated.”

Manager Dong said, "But now twelve families have been arrested, which is already a sure thing. Now our bookstore is also destroying the printing of the Old Testament and the Gospel."

Su Yang nodded, reached out and handed over the new manuscript of Dream of Red Mansions to Manager Dong, and said, "Don't panic, I'll deal with them."

Manager Dong naturally believed in Su Yang. After hearing Su Yang's response, he held the document in his hand and went to the backyard. The guy who was originally helping in the book hall is now fiddling with the Old Testament in the backyard, and Su Yang is the only one in the front hall.

Su Yang sat in the front hall and looked at the soldiers walking around the streets outside. The soldiers could not find out about this for a while. Su Yang simply pulled out a book from the bookstore and started reading it casually.

"It's a real opportunity."

Su Yang looked at the contents of the book and thought to himself that with a casual draw, he took out a book about the unified summary and evaluation of previous painters. The characters and painting names in this book seemed extremely unfamiliar to Su Yang. They should be figures buried by history. However, seeing the direction and painting style of these famous paintings in this book made Su Yang's eyes lit up.

The article records a great man who was deaf since childhood and never married in his entire life. He relied on paintings to cure hunger throughout his life. Such people who live in difficult life should have dark and bitter paintings, but all the paintings he wrote were elegant and interesting. Hangzhou was a masterpiece in his early years.

Another person, who was born in a Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy and had a lot of political reputation. This person is good at drawing mountains and forest courtyards, and prefers to use side strokes to make the elegant courtyard as graceful as clouds.

Even though Su Yang was so beautiful that he was deified in his brush and ink, there were some things he never thought of. At this time, he saw these paintings of his predecessors, and Su Yang could naturally find out the skills in their paintings.

"Shopkeeper..."

There was a greeting at the door. Su Yang raised his head and saw two scholars walking in front of him. One of them was handsome and unique, while the other scholar was also a dignified person. The two walked into the Dong family bookstore and greeted him. After seeing Su Yang, they asked, "Where has the shopkeeper Dong gone?"

"He printed books in the backyard and just told me if he had something."

Su Yang put down the books and looked at the two scholars and said.

The two scholars looked at each other and asked Su Yang: "Do you know the nearest book in Hangzhou?"

"Yeah, I know."

Su Yang nodded and said, "It's the one who wants to make a drama recently. Long San and Zhu Si are close friends and neighbors. Long San fell in love with Zhu Si's concubine. Zhu Si fell in love with Long San's wife. The two of them drank each other. Then one pretended to go to the cottage, but in fact they went to the other's home to steal the concubine's concubine, and the other pretended to be unwell. In fact, they climbed over the wall to steal the other's wife. Both of them were secretly successful, but they thought the other party didn't know. When the truth was revealed, they realized that the green man's words about greening himself were not false."

The script that Su Yang mentioned is also a very popular storybook in Hangzhou City recently. It is said that it is about to be compiled into a drama, but it is said that this story is a real adaptation. Anyway, as long as this kind of small song is compiled, there will be people who welcome it.

"This story is obviously fictional!"

A scholar said: "The story always says that it is a wealthy family. There is no one in this wealthy family? And the food mentioned in the opera is rough, and the beds mentioned are all low-door and low-door households. How can it be a wealthy person in Hangzhou? This is obviously arranged by the villagers, and there are a few scholars who don't know the truth or the fake ones are made out casually."

Su Yang nodded with a smile, it seemed that this scholar was knowledgeable.

In this world, scholars and those who do not study have always been two classes, and they are completely different from each other. In the eyes of scholars, they are naturally the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons, all kinds of truths, and they are also rare and precious things. For ordinary people, the emperor's life is really unthinkable.

Su Yang remembered the Bangzi Opera I heard a long time ago. In the opera, Guan Gong Ci Cao was talking to Cao. When Guan Yu left Cao Cao, Cao Cao caught up with Guan Yu and asked what was bad for you in Xudu. He made dumplings and fried fried dough sticks for you every time. His sister-in-law Cao personally cooked. She was busy in the cold weather and was sweating. She got tired of eating white masks. She also made you a horse-tooth vegetable bun, poured garlic juice, shredded radish and sesame oil, and a scoop of sesame oil...

This is probably the high-level life envisioned by the simple working people.

"We are talking about Dream of Red Mansions."

The scholar said to Su Yang: "Can this Dream of Red Mansions be published?"

It seems that this book has readers.

"It's soon."

Su Yang smiled and said, "I'm adding printing to the back."

The two scholars listened to Su Yang's words, looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"I'm going to Chen Hongshou."

"In the He Que Spring."

The two scholars reported their names in front of Su Yang. Su Yang and they smiled, but did not say their names. They closed the book in their hands, walked to the front, and asked them: "What do you think of this book, Dream of Red Mansions?"

Chen Hongshou looked at He Quequan, and He Quequan said: "This book is very concise and well-written. Although it has just been unveiled, many of us have wanted to see the whole picture."

If Cao Xueqin had you, you might not have drunk porridge... But writing a book in ten years is enough to kill readers.

It’s a must-have, but it’s very appropriate to put it on Cao Xueqin.

"Brother, you are here..."

He Quequan asked Su Yang.

Su Yang smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Dong personally went to supervise the publication of Dream of the Red Chamber. There was no one in front of him, so I'll help him check out the store."

He Quequan and Chen Hongshou nodded, and looked at the doors in front and back tightly closed. The two of them also patiently wanted to go to the backyard to find out the truth. As Su Yang reached out to ask for help, the two of them sat down in the front hall.

"Does your brother know Cao Xueqin?"

Chen Hongshou asked Su Yang.

Su Yang nodded and said, "I only knew this person since the book "Dream of the Red Chamber". With this book alone, I knew that it was extraordinary, but I just didn't have the chance to visit him."

Chen Hongshou looked at He Quequan, and Chen Hongshou sighed: "I don't know where Cao Gong is, so I don't know how the song in Dream of Red Mansions should be compiled. Brother He, even if you spend all your family fortune, it will be just a dream, and it will be dispersed even more. Why should you be so obsessed?"

He Quequan heard Chen Hongshou's words and sighed: "Ruiyun...Ruiyun..."

Ruiyun?

When Su Yang heard this name, he looked at He Quequan and asked, "The Ruiyun mentioned by the young master is a famous prostitute in Hangzhou City?"

He Quequan heard Su Yang's inquiry and said nothing, while Chen Hongshou next to him said, "It's Ruiyun. She is 14 years old this year and is already at the age of getting married. Now her madam is raising a high price for her. As long as she takes out a lot of money, she can have a dream with Ruiyun. Brother He admires Ruiyun's talent and has met Ruiyun. Both of them are interesting, but the money in this family can only last one night. Brother He is now thinking about this."

Su Yang looked at He Quequan.

He Quequan shook his head and sighed, "This dream of mandarin will wake up all night. After waking up, how can I bear this love? I took out all my belongings and thoughts of spending time with Ruiyun. But when I met Ruiyun, Ruiyun always wanted to do the Twelve Songs of Dream of the Red Chamber. I want to come here to ask Mr. Cao and then bring her a message. The fate ends here."

It's also a seed of infatuation.

But at the age of fourteen, it started to raise prices...

"Whoever wants to write this song and who wants to sing it, will naturally be able to write and sing it, without any scruples."

Su Yang smiled and sat aside, looked at He Quequan and said.

"I don't know this..."

He Quequan looked at Su Yang and said, "It's just that I have no attainments in the song, and if I don't have excellent insights, I'm ashamed to see Ruiyun again."

It turned out to be a reason for face.

Su Yang looked at He Quequan and said, "The twelve songs of Dream of Red Mansions are about the fate of a woman. This fate has never been decided. For these women, it is too sad. If Ruiyun wants to make this song, it will not be placed between the songs, and add some questions to the sky and crying about fate, so that the tune will be sad and sing. It seems that it is better than the ones who cry."

He Quequan's eyes lit up when he heard what Su Yang said. Ruiyun was forced to such a situation by the madam at the age of fourteen. This fate was awesome. If these artistic conceptions of crying to the sky were added, they would be consistent with Ruiyun's current experience.

"What other insights do you have?"

He Quequan asked.

Su Yang smiled and stopped talking. A group of people had already entered the door of the bookstore. It was the officers and soldiers who had been on Xun Street earlier. At this time, they walked into the bookstore and saw Su Yang, He Quequan, and Chen Hongshou, and immediately surrounded the three of them.

"Who are the shopkeepers?"

The leader asked first: "Where is the place where you printed the book?"

Su Yang stood up and stood in front of the officers and soldiers. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Hongshou had already stood up first, took out a bag of silver in his hand, stuffed it into the hands of the leading officers and soldiers, and smiled and said, "Brothers, go buy some wine and drink. I know this shop. There are some dirty books in his shop, but this one is clean. Because Hangzhou City is rigorous in management and has not published books for a long time. Only the book Dream of the Red Chamber is also a legitimate novel that can be reviewed by you."

The leader got the money, took a rough look, and said, "As expected, this family should not be the White Lotus Sect. If you know there are evil books from the White Lotus Sect, you should report them to us earlier."

"It must be certain."

Chen Hongshou bowed and smiled.

Seeing Chen Hongshou so respectful, the leader waved his hand and retreated with him.

"call……"

Chen Hongshou looked at the backs of these people, shook his head, and looked at Su Yang and said, "I really don't want them to break the book printing... Brother, do you want to go to Ruiyun with us?"

Ruiyun...

This is also a story in Literature.

"What I want."

Su Yang said with a smile.
