Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 763 Girl Chen Yuanyuan (Part [-])

""The Story of Yingying" was written by feudal literati, and they would naturally justify their actions, but the Yuan Opera was for the common people, and the common people thought that Zhang Sheng in "The Story of Yingying" was a scumbag, and they didn't like the ending. So Wang Shifu and others catered to the needs of the public and changed it to a romantic story of a gifted man and a beautiful woman with a happy ending. This kind of free love that breaks through the feudal shackles can be said to be a voice of the people below."

"Taking concubines is something that only the emperor's relatives and literati and bureaucrats are qualified to do. The Ming law stipulates that people who are over 40 years old and have no children can accept concubines. That is, civilians who are over [-] years old and have no heirs can take concubines. In this way Thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand why "The Story of Yingying" has become "The Story of the West Chamber". "The Story of Yingying" at most only reflects the writing style of literati, but it is far worse than the popular "The Story of the West Chamber." Chu Yun said Come.

Liu Rushi thought about Chu Yun's opinion.

"How many wives and concubines do you want to find, my lord?" Ella asked.

"How many do you want me to find?" Chu Yun asked back.

"It doesn't matter if you find a few Ellas, you just need to be Ella's concubine." Ella said.

"Stop talking, you have to abide by our rules when you enter the door of our Han men. It's not up to you to decide whether to be a wife or a concubine, but I have the final say." Chu Yun didn't doubt Aila's words, but said deliberately .

"Of order." Ayla sat upright in cooperation.

Liu Rushi saw that Chu Yun was also a manly man, but it seemed that he was a little different from the Jiangnan talents who were familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but rather a bit of martial arts and domineering, and he even had a little envy of Aila.

"The matchmaker is out!" Someone from the tea guests who were watching the play whispered.

Chu Yun, Aila, and Liu Rushi all looked at the stage.

I saw the little matchmaker who helped Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying tie the knot. She was about ten years old.The spectators in the audience held their breath, anticipating and worrying about her. It would be a pity if the singing skills did not match the temperament of the performance.However, the spectators' worries are superfluous. The little matchmaker's voice is euphemistic and pleasant, which intoxicates some spectators who love opera.

If you put it in modern times, you are a standard child actor, but it's a pity that the status of actors in this era is very low.

"What's her name?" Chu Yun asked Liu Rushi. He always felt that he and Liu Rushi had something to do with each other, and maybe they were some kind of woman with a surname.

"Chen Yuanyuan." Liu Rushi looked towards the stage, as if he saw himself a few years ago.

Chen Yuanyuan?Chu Yun remained calm on the surface, but his heart was shocked.During this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, I met Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu, Liu Rushi, and Chen Yuanyuan, all of whom have left a strong mark in history!Wu Sangui was furious and crowned as a confidante, leading the Qing soldiers into the customs, and the heroine was Chen Yuanyuan!

Of course we can’t pin the blame on a woman. In this time and space, Wu Sangui was seriously injured by Chu Yun’s Liaodong army. Although he survived, he was almost a half-cripple. It is estimated that he would never have an intersection with Chen Yuanyuan up.

Liu Rushi wanted to redeem Chen Yuanyuan, the world line seemed to have changed because of Chu Yun's arrival, and the future of countless people was changed by Chu Yun.

When Chu Yun and the others came in, "The Story of the West Chamber" had just begun, and then they babbled and sang for a full three hours.Ella watched this drama for the first time, and she was a little fascinated.Chu Yun was almost familiar with the storyline of "The West Chamber", so he was not so interested, and focused on enjoying Suzhou's folk delicacies.The strange thing is that Liu Rushi was already very familiar with "The Romance of the West Chamber", and this time he was watching it attentively.

When "The Romance of the West Chamber" came to an end, there was a round of applause in the hall, and more applause was given to Chen Yuanyuan, the little matchmaker, but took away the limelight from Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying.

"How are you going to redeem Chen Yuanyuan later?" Chu Yun asked Liu Rushi.

"I went to the back to find the team leader, and asked him to go to the Liyuan to sell Chen Yuanyuan's name, and then he left the Liyuan family." Liu Rushi said.

"No, the household registration certificate system has been implemented in the Jiangnan area, and various abnormal household registrations such as hereditary military registration, craftsman registration, and slave registration have been cancelled. Even servants, nurses, and housekeepers are only employed by the master. relationship, and there is no subordination relationship above the human body, why do you care about the Liyuan nationality?" Chu Yun asked.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many systems from the Yuan Dynasty were inherited, and systems such as craftsman registration have been separated from the requirements of productivity.

"Without the troupe of the troupe, how can an actor be able to get enough food and clothing? In fact, entering the troupe is no different from prostitution, especially for some pretty girls." Liu Rushi sighed.

There are also these problems.Chu Yun himself came to Jiangnan and found a series of problems encountered in the implementation of the New Deal, some of which were beyond imagination.

Liu Rushi didn't expect that his feeling for the misfortune of actors would make Chu Yun aware of some loopholes, which would later cause Chu Yun to carry out rectification and regulation of some special industries.Of course this is for the future...

"We went backstage with you. I always feel that things are not that simple." After Chu Yun knew that the person Liu Rushi wanted to redeem was Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't feel that it would cost more than 200 taels of silver.

And just now the girl Chen Yuanyuan won applause from all the halls, and she has already shown the temperament of a generation of pity, and the team leader may not be able to kill chickens and eggs.

"Because we are bothering my lord with the things of low-class people like us, will you..." Liu Rushi hesitated.

"In my eyes, scholars are not necessarily superior to You Lian, and after the household registration certificate system, everyone is equal in terms of basic human rights," Chu Yun said.

"Then please trouble your lord." Liu Rushi bowed slightly.She also found that all her property may not be redeemable for Chen Yuanyuan.

The dressing room of the troupe was set up behind the stage. When Liu Rushi took Chu Yun and Aila to the backstage, they were stopped by the troupe.

"Who are you? The backstage is an important place for the theater troupe, so don't trespass." The troupe said.

"Inform your team leader that Mr. Liu wants to talk to him about yesterday's incident." Liu Rushi lowered her voice.

"Young Master Liu? Just wait."

After the troupe went in, they came out with a man in a costume after a while.

"Mr. Liu, just let go of what you said last time, what do you think?" the team leader said before Liu Rushi could speak.

"But didn't we agree yesterday that we can redeem Chen Yuanyuan with 200 taels of silver?" Liu Rushi took out a few bank notes, "This is already all my belongings."

Sure enough, something went wrong.Chu Yun was not surprised. If it was just an ordinary ten-year-old actress, 200 taels might be more than enough to redeem her body, but this is Chen Yuanyuan.
