Borrow the day to change the day

When he first entered the post station, he had already met with Yi Cheng, so the two knew each other.

As soon as Yicheng entered the door, he knelt down towards Zhong Jinwei, raised his waist and cupped his fists to salute Zhong Jinwei: "The villain came here specially to congratulate Lord Hou!"

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback for a moment, could it be that his marriage has spread all over the country?It seems a bit exaggerated.Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "How do you know?"

Yicheng's face was full of smiles, and he answered Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, we in Kaifeng are notoriously obsessed with drama. The most famous capital of song, dance and opera in Ming Dynasty, besides Yingtianfu, is our Kaifeng mansion." .When this ingenious play was staged, it caused a stir in the whole city."

Zhong Jinwei was dizzy when he heard this, it turned out that he had misunderstood it.But he still didn't know what this Yicheng wanted to congratulate him on, what kind of special show, what did it have to do with him?Zhong Jinwei tentatively asked, "You mean...?"

Yicheng was startled when he heard this, and then quickly blamed himself: "Ah, you see, the villain is so happy that he even forgot that Lord Hou just arrived and hasn't left the house yet. Lord Hou, the play you created is now very popular in Kaifeng Mansion. Many troupes have started to imitate it.”

It turned out to be this, Zhong Jinwei was stunned when he heard this.I just came up with an idea at the beginning, and Wen Yuren and Wu Bing worked together to figure out the specific matter. I didn't think I would take the credit for it alone.

This is actually very easy to understand. Zhong Jinwei's official position and achievements are far superior to those of Wen and Wu. People in the troupe naturally love to use Zhong Jinwei's name.Don't say that it was indeed created by Zhong Jinwei, even if it wasn't created by him, as long as we can get in touch with him, it is possible to put all the credit on him and use his banner.

"Is it the theater troupe from the capital?" Zhong Jinwei asked. He thought that the theater troupe cloned by Wen Wu might have begun to promote it across the country.However, I seem to be talking about the Jiangnan area, and there are also Henan in the Central Plains. I am afraid that the Yicheng said it because this is the capital of singing, dancing and opera.

"Master Hou is wise. It was the theater troupe from the capital that caused a sensation in the city. As long as Master Hou goes out and sits in a teahouse or wine shop, you are sure to hear someone discussing this play." Yicheng beamed when he spoke. , making Zhong Jinwei feel that this person seems to like drama very much.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhong Jinwei was a little disapproving, and then ordered, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." It has been many years since Yicheng greeted and sent him, and his attitude towards people has been mastered. He can detect that Zhong Jinwei's attitude towards him has changed.

Yicheng was happy, stood up and explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Our Kaifeng Mansion was not keen on drama music at first, but after King Zhou came, the Wang Mansion took the lead and slowly fell in love with drama music. In Kaifeng Mansion, as long as the family has a little money, they will raise a few prostitutes to arrange their own music and listen to the music. Lord Hou, your drama is something that we Kaifeng people have never seen before, and now we don’t have to talk about it when we go out. Sorry to go out."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he could understand the atmosphere, so he couldn't help but became interested, and asked Yicheng, "The theater troupe from the capital is still performing the persecution of the Han people in Liaodong?"

"Yes, Lord Hou, if you want to watch other ones, it may take a while to see them. It is rumored that the son of the royal family is making up dramas about Bao Qingtian's case and Water Margin." Yicheng introduced some more to Zhong Jinwei on his own initiative. , to show the strength of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Why is it the palace again? Zhong Jinwei has heard it several times in a row during this short conversation.But Zhong Jinwei felt that he had nothing to do with the palace, so he lost his mind. He continued to ask Yi Cheng, "Is the ticket for the drama easy to buy?"

Zhong Jinwei became interested and wanted to go to the scene to see how the drama performed among the common people.

"Master Hou..." Wang Peng stood beside Zhong Jinwei and did not make a sound until now when he heard what Zhong Jinwei meant, as if he wanted to go out to watch a theater.Considering Marquis Zhongxing's safety, he still issued a warning, thinking that it would be best to persuade Marquis Zhongxing not to go out.

Zhong Jinwei stretched out his hand, stopped Wang Peng's next words, and looked at Yi Cheng, waiting for his answer.

Yicheng looked at the Dongchang fan, hesitated a little, turned around and saw Zhong Jinwei waiting for his reply, he hesitated for a while before replying: "If you want to see the Hou Ye, of course you don't need a ticket. There are boxes on the second floor of the theater." , Master Hou will not be harassed by idlers in the box."

Zhong Jinwei nodded after listening, then turned to Wang Peng and said, "It's just a play in Kaifeng Mansion, nothing will happen. Otherwise, I won't be able to go out, what's the fun in life!"

Wang Peng thought about it, and felt that what Zhong Jinwei said was reasonable, and nothing would happen in the Kaifeng mansion, but he heard what Zhong Jinwei said was a bit serious, so he stopped insisting.

Seeing that Wang Peng no longer objected, Zhong Jinwei turned around and asked Yi Cheng, "Is there an opening in the afternoon?"

"Yes, yes, yes. It will start in about half an hour." Upon hearing this, Yi Cheng quickly replied.

"Okay, we all changed into casual clothes and went. Master Ben wants to pay a private visit!" Zhong Jinwei stood up and gave Wang Peng instructions with a smile.

Wang Peng had no choice but to agree, thinking that he, Li Laosi and others had a dozen or so people to protect Lord Hou personally, so it should be okay.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei was about to go out, the postman suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop" and begged Zhong Jinwei: "I implore Hou Ye to leave a calligraphy for this station."

"Mo Bao, I don't have any." Zhong Jinwei was just thinking about whether to take the four little ones with him, when he suddenly heard that Yicheng asked him for something, he didn't react for a while.After a short circuit for a few seconds, his brain immediately returned to normal: "Ah, you said my signature?"

"Master Hou, it's rare for you to come here. The inn is full of splendor. To tell you the truth, the villain also loves opera since he was a child, and he is very obsessed with this drama. Please also leave a calligraphy treasure for Master Hou! "Yi Cheng kowtowed after finishing speaking.

Now Zhong Jinwei is stupid, can his calligraphy be shown to outsiders?But it can be seen that this Yi Cheng put in so much effort, it should be for this purpose, which is comparable to the stars of later generations.

Thinking that I have the treatment of a future star, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Aren't the signatures of future stars all the same as ghost symbols!Write it down by yourself, and let a group of "experts" join in.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jinwei smiled smugly, and then said to the bewildered Yicheng: "Get up, don't knock anymore, I promise you."

When Yicheng heard this, he was overjoyed, jumped up from the ground, and excitedly said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, wait a moment, the villain will bring the four treasures of the study right away."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhong Jinwei's consent, he ran out to get things like a gust of wind.The speed of the movement made Wang Peng, a master of Dongchang who claims to be good at lightness kungfu, feel inferior.

"Master Hou, do you use a brush...?" Wang Peng saw Zhong Jinwei's calligraphy, and he was a little worried for Zhong Jinwei. If he took it out, he might hurt Lord Hou's face!But he didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear of hurting Zhong Jinwei's self-esteem, he had to draw a long tone. Anyway, Hou Zhongxing should be able to understand what he meant.

Zhong Jinwei naturally knew what Wang Peng meant, he chuckled at him and said, "It's all right, look at me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Cheng came in again like a gust of wind, holding the four treasures of the study in his hands, and laid them out one by one on the table in the room, and then began to grind the ink.

Zhong Jinwei took his time, waited for Yi Cheng to polish the ink, luckily rolled up his sleeves, then grabbed the brush and wrote on it "swipely".

Both Wang Peng and Yicheng gathered around to watch curiously, but Zhong Jinwei moved quickly, and by the time they took a closer look, they had finished writing and called it a day.

Zhong Jinwei was a little guilty, put down his pen, and said loudly to Wang Peng: "Call those four little guys, put on casual clothes, and go out to listen to operas and music!"

Wang Peng just glanced at it, and felt that the rice paper was a mess of flying dragons and phoenixes. He had read books for many years, but he couldn't recognize what characters Zhong Jinwei wrote.

Like Wang Peng, Yi Cheng was analyzing Zhong Jinwei's characters with a frown. After reading it for a while, he felt ashamed, because he had never seen such a font before.

Seeing Yicheng's serious look, Zhong Jinwei felt even more guilty, and said directly to Yicheng, "Don't you know, this is a popular font in my hometown. Clean it up first, and go to the drama with me."

Yicheng suddenly realized that it was the font of Zhongxing Hou's hometown.According to official sources, Hou Zhongxing is from overseas, so it is understandable that he does not know him.

He didn't dare not listen to Zhong Jinwei's words, quickly and carefully tidied up the four treasures of the study, then went out to change clothes and waited for Zhong Jinwei to go out.

None of them expected that such a mischievous calligraphy made historians of later generations struggle their brains to guess what the word was, and it eventually became a mystery.
