Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 141 The Book
At the end of September, Wuling County ushered in the longest autumn rain since autumn.

The raindrops continued from September 26th to September [-]th.

When the sky clears and the sun shines again, no one in summer clothes will be seen, and the grass and trees in the city will be yellowish. The color of the whole world is changing to a unified autumn yellow tone.

In the small courtyard of the Zhang Family, Meng Xiaowan took off the first slightly yellowed bamboo leaf, looked at the sun for a few times, and then put it into the book page in her hand.

"Bamboo leaves have a delicate fragrance. I like to collect them the most. I will make a sachet for my husband someday, okay?"

Zhang Zhe raised his head and exchanged a glance with Meng Xiaowan, his eyes were full of smiles.

"My lady, you don't need to find words on purpose. It's fine if you give the book to Miss Song Wu, but why come every day to test your husband?"

"I know you don't care, but my concubine is still a little nervous. I just finished reading such a good book. I just felt sorry for Song Xiaowu's situation, so I sent the book to her to act. She will be in Nanxing Tower tomorrow. At the beginning of the play, tell me and Yan Ru again and again, we are not allowed to make jokes. If she really messes up and weakens your reputation, don't be upset with me."

Zhang Zhe shook his head and smiled, and continued to look down at the things in his hands.

In mid-September, Meng Xiaowan had a discussion with Zhang Zhe and copied the "Romance of the West Chamber" to Song Yinwu.Later, news came from Wu Yuege that Song Yinwu played Cui Yingying, and the embroidered fan played Zhang Sheng instead.On September 23, I performed in the cabinet by myself, and the response was very good.

Now, the steward of Wuyue Pavilion has negotiated with Nanxinglou. Tomorrow, the first edition of "Romance of the West Chamber" will be held in Nanxinglou, which is later known as the "premiere". Zhang Zhe and his wife were also invited.

Just after learning that Wu Yuege had obtained Zhang Zhe's book, several other pavilions came to the door one after another.

Zhang Zhe was so annoyed that he simply handed it over to Meng Xiaowan.

I don't know why Meng Xiaowan suddenly changed her temper and released three or four notebooks at once.

When transcribing these notebooks, Zhang Zhe tampered with the background and replaced all the characters of the dynasty with fiction, so he was not afraid of causing any trouble.

But what Zhang Zhe couldn't understand the most was that Meng Xiaowan generously handed over "Jiaohongji" to Yuyao, which was one of the top ten classical tragedies in the original time and space.

Yuezhao from Qixianlou and Yuxin from Hongzhaolou followed Huo Bingcheng's path and took a copy of "Leifeng Pagoda", one of the top ten tragedies, from Meng Xiaowan. Reverse Xu Xian.Reading Moon Tower has already negotiated with Qixian Tower and Hongzhao Tower, and this "Leifeng Pagoda" will only be staged in Reading Moon Tower.

The Luozhu from Yunyinge came to the door by herself, and she didn't know what she had promised Meng Xiaowan. She even gave her her beloved "The Injustice of Dou E".

In mid-September, just as Eunuch Yan had just been appointed as Eunuch Sun, the Fourth Hall and Eight Squares of the Wuling County Middle School all risked their lives to line up the play.The benefactors who go to have fun often don't see a few leading ladies, but only hear singing and lyrics coming from somewhere in the museum from time to time.

There are rumors that starting from September 26, there will be good shows in Wuling.They are located in Nanxing Building, Changyin Pavilion, Reading Moon Building and Nixiang Garden.

Zhang Zhe didn't care much about these, he was looking at the results of Meng Xiaowan's busy work these days.

The demise of the Song family and the promotion of the prefect Yan caused the prices of land and real estate in Wuling County to drop one after another.The confiscated land and houses of the Song family, and the local properties of the prefect Yan have all put up signs in the tooth shop one after another.

These days, the Luochen family is also busy collecting some properties, and Meng Xiaowan ate a lot of soup and meat.

In Weijiatun, six miles away from Taowan, there is a Zhuangzi of the Song family, with three courtyards, and five hectares of land under it. There are seven or eight people in charge and servants.

Meng Xiaowan immediately set her sights on this Zhuangzi.

Previously, the elder ladies of the two families fought with her, but it was not until Meng Xiaowan offered a price of [-] yuan in cash that the other two families lost their minds.

What Zhang Zhe held in his hands were several land deeds and a stack of body deeds.

"I was thinking that when Uncle Fourth and Fifth came back from Xijiang, I would let him go to Weijiatun to see Zhuangzi. Even I had heard about his greediness." Meng Xiaowan took a yellowish bamboo leaf and placed it In the stack of land deeds, Zhang Zhe's eyes were successfully drawn back.

"In my opinion, it's better to let the old head Zhao be the head of the village. Uncle Fourth and Fifth, I'm going to hand over the management of the outer court to him. I don't worry about changing it to someone else." Zhang Zhe explained, but saw his wife tilting her head to look at him , I have some doubts.

"Don't play tricks, my lady, just talk about what you have to do."

Meng Xiaowan put away the book in her hand, half-jokingly said.

"Tomorrow is the day when Wu Yatou will be on stage, but I also heard that Qingyanfang's new play is also scheduled for tomorrow. Where do you think we are going?"

Zhang Zhe instantly had a headache.

""Jiao Hong Ji" was given to Yu Yao by yourself, why are you asking me again? Once again, I will."

"Once again, what will happen to my husband?" Meng Xiaowan covered her mouth with a book and stopped the smile on the corner of her mouth, "Could it be that she was so angry with her concubine that she simply ransomed that Yuyao and her husband to be a concubine? Yes, now Our family has no shortage of money, so Yuyao is probably worth 1 Ken."

The autumn water is slightly cold, and the boat travels like a shuttle on the water.

On the second floor of Huafang, there are no guests, only the leading ladies of Qingyanfang are rehearsing for the last time. Yuyao, the heroine of "Jiao Hong Ji" is not present, she is reclined on the pillow in her room at the moment, flipping through the book of "Jiao Hong Ji" with a lonely heart.

These days Yuyao rehearses very hard, and eats little tea and rice, but there is something hidden in her heart.

After Meng Xiaowan gave her this "Jiao Hong Ji", Yuyao quickly understood the meaning of Meng Xiaowan.

The general plot of "Jiao Hong Ji" is that the cousin is in love with the cousin, but the law does not allow the cousin to marry, so they both died of illness and turned into a pair of mandarin ducks after death.The two most important supporting roles in this story are exactly where Yuyao's knots have been during this period of time.

One is Feihong, the heroine's maid, who was once suspected by the lady of having an affair with her cousin, and later helped the two make suggestions, feeling a bit like a matchmaker.The other is Ding Lianlian, a famous prostitute who made friends with her cousin, but caused a series of misunderstandings.

Just looking at these two people, especially Ding Lianlian, Yuyao understood the meaning of Meng Xiaowan's gift of "Jiao Hong Ji".

It was also at this time that Yuyao realized that she seemed to have really moved her mind towards Zhang Zhe.

She has always been shrewd, no matter how powerful a talented person is, she sees it as a relatively high-level benefactor.However, Zhang Xinzhi's character and talent won her mind, and she only wanted to keep it for a long time, after all, it was Zhang Xinzhi's poem that lifted her to the clouds.

Fangshang's mother once teased her enough that if Zhang Xinzhi asked for Yuyao's first pill, she could make up the price.

Yuyao recalled the several encounters with Zhang Xinzhi, but the most vivid memory was the time when Zhang Xinzhi pretended to be someone else's name and escaped Tang Yan.Since that day, she has had the shadow of that person in her heart.

After hearing that Wu Yuege's embroidered fan was obtained from that person's book by Meng Xiaowan, she also went to Zhang's house by a strange coincidence.In the past, she always avoided Meng Xiaowan.

"Injustice~!" Yuyao covered her face with the book, and wailed herself.
