For Tang Xianzu, although there are these three advantages to writing novels, there is also one thing that is not beautiful, that is, scholars write novels, which are considered vulgar by people at that time, and they do not enter the elegant hall. For example, when Pu Songling wrote Stories from a Chinese Studio, he was accused of the past, and his friends were puzzled, questioned, and ridiculed.

But Tang Xianzu was grateful to Lin Yanchao's appreciation and still agreed: "Since that's the case, Tang will give it a try first."

When Lin Yanchao saw Tang Xianzu agree, he was very happy. He wondered if he had the first draft of the Peony Pavilion. If there was this classic, it would be difficult for his Yanjing Times to not be popular.

Lin Yanchao asked, "Is there a first draft in my heart?"

Tang Xianzu nodded and said, "It's true that I lived in the capital a few years ago. Tang was studying and had nothing to do in his spare time. He read the legend of the Tang Dynasty, Huo Xiaoyu, so he rewritten a drama for a while."

Lin Yanchao felt a little regretful. It was not the Peony Pavilion, but which article was Huo Xiaoyu? He naturally read Huo Xiaoyu's chant, and he talked about the story of a talented man and a beautiful woman. In the end, the talented man was unfaithful and the beautiful woman passed away unjustly.

However, this ending is too abusive. After the serialization, it will harm many readers of their own newspapers. This is suitable for literary youth routes, but not for commercial newspapers.

So Lin Yanchao suggested: "Brother Tang, I have also read the Biography of Huo Xiaoyu. After reading it, I was disgusted. I like Xiaoyu's infatuation and hated Li Yi's unfaithful heart. The moon has its phases and waxing, and this matter has been difficult to complete in ancient times. Since this is the case, why not give the world a beautiful thought in the novel."

Tang Xianzu couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this: "Zonghai and I really coincide with each other. I also thought this ending was not good. In the novels of Tang people, the loyalty of the beauties is good, but how many talented men are unfaithful men? This is too slandering me as a scholar."

"So Zonghai, don't worry. Although the two of them have ups and downs, they must have lovers finally got married in the end."

Lin Yanchao felt relieved and said, "That's good."

Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare were called the two major drama masters of the East and the West.

But Lin Yanchao remembered Shakespeare's four big cups, which really belonged to the classic "depression-induced" system. After reading it, you were so cruel that you were not afraid of it.

In comparison, Tang Xianzu is much more kind and is simply a conscientious author.

But Tang Xianzu changed his tone: "I didn't expect that Zong Hai and I liked each other well. No wonder you and me are so incest. Speaking of heartache, there is a legend of a white snake in your Fujian area, which is simply..."

Lin Yanchao asked in a moment of absurdity: "Brother Tang has seen it?"

Tang Xianzu said with deep regret: "I heard it when I was in Yingtian and Hangzhou. In the end, Bai Snake was buried in Leifeng Pagoda. Xu Xian became a monk. Some lovers did not get married. At that time, those who heard about it did not say Tang, even the old, young, women and children were crying. The author of this play is really..."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but cough and thought, would he want to discuss with Xie Zhaofeng to make up for the Legend of White Snake and make up for the scene where Xu Shilin opened a tower to save his mother twenty years later.

While Tang Xianzu was talking to Lin Yanchao, Chen Jichuan reported that Qu Hengjiang and others were visiting.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that after the establishment of the Yanjing Times, these people were all backbones and just introduced them to each other, so he asked several people to come in.

Soon Qu Hengjiang, Guo Zhengyu, and a young man of medium size were also accompanied by a middle-sized man. The young man looked a little haggard and had a bruise on his face.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this?"

Qu Hengjiang and Guo Zhengyu were about to speak, but when he saw the scholar bowing first, he kowtowed to Lin Yanchao and said, "Student Lu Wanjia, kneel down to thank the priest for helping him."

Lin Yanchao then suddenly realized that it was him. At that time, Lu Wanjia and more than a dozen students including Xiyuan Cultural Society were arrested and entered the Ministry of Justice, which caused the subsequent incident of knocking on the verdict.

After the incident of knocking on the palace, although Lin Yanchao was deprived of his post, he kept trying to rescue Lu Wanjia and others.

This time, Lin Yanchao became a Japanese lecturer again, and Zhang Juzheng no longer wanted to pursue him. The officials of the Ministry of Justice were afraid of forming a bond with Lin Yanchao, so they not only took the initiative to show their goodwill at the mansion, but also immediately released Lu Wanjia and the others.

Therefore, when Lu Wanjia saw him, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying thanking him for helping him.

But Lin Yanchao still felt a little guilty towards Lu Wanjia. If it weren't for the people from the Xiyuan Cultural Society who secretly planned to throw feces into Hong Mingqi's car, then everything that happened later wouldn't have happened.

Seeing this, Lin Yanchao quickly helped Lu Wanjia up and said, "Shame, if it weren't for my business, how could you be imprisoned?"

Lu Wanjia hurriedly said, "It was all the ones who framed me that Hong Mingqi was responsible for, and it has nothing to do with the top scholar. The students are grateful for your life-saving grace and are willing to work hard for everyone."

Guo Zhengyu said to Lin Yanchao: "Sir, this Mr. Lu is my friend. When I was in trouble in the capital, I was taken in by him. When we were arrested in Xiyuan and were arrested in the Ministry of Justice, the other party did not dare to make things difficult for me when I saw that I was a juren's fame and fame. However, Mr. Lu was punished as the chief criminal and tortured by the Ministry of Justice. He wanted to accuse his mentor of his mentor. But Brother Lu refused. If it weren't for the sudden enlightenment this time, Brother Lu would almost be unable to come out alive."

After hearing Guo Zhengyu say this, Qu Hengjiang couldn't help but feel indignant and cursed on the spot: "If it weren't for this dog-gou official, how could he have had so many troubles? The court is dark and incompetent, so he has raised such a dog official."

Lin Yanchao's face darkened when he heard this. Qu Hengjiang quickly said, "Sir, forgive me, I just scolded other dog officials, but sir is a good official, a great official."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Guo Zhengyu also smiled and said, "If it weren't for the Honggou Officer, we wouldn't have been to the teacher's disciples and heard about the classics of merit, and he would have ended up earning himself."

Lu Wanjia smiled and said, "Lu is also happy to have all his hardships."

Lin Yanchao was also happy when he heard the two of them say this.

Guo Zhengyu and the other three had a meal, and Lin Yanchao and Tang Xianzu had just finished eating. Everyone was chatting in the tea room.

The servants of the Lin Mansion hurriedly served exquisite fruits, pastries, fragrant tea, and plates filled the Eight Immortals table in the tea room.

The tea room is open to the moon, the night is melting, and the fragrance of grass and trees in the courtyard penetrates into the room.

Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea and introduced Tang Xianzu and the three of them, "This one is Tang Linchuan."

All three of them had heard of Tang Xianzu's reputation. In the fifth year of Wanli, Tang Xianzu, Shen Maoxue, Feng Mengzhen and others were the best among the scholars. Zhang Juzheng wanted to make his name for his son, so he asked Zhang Maoxiu and Zhang Sixiu to have acquaintance with Tang Xianzu together.

The three of them stood up and saluted Tang Xianzu and said, "It turns out that it is Senior Tang, who is disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Tang Xianzu was always famous. When poetry was released, many people came to his house. Even Zhang Juzheng sent his son to meet him. However, after failing the exam twice, his halo faded away, and even his good friend Shen Maoxue looked down on him.

Therefore, Tang Xianzu now saw the warmth and warmth of human feelings and politely said to the three of them: "I really don't dare to take the word "sen".

After several people shared their names, Lin Yanchao said: "This time I asked my charity to go to Beijing from Hangzhou and I want to write it in the Yanjing Times."

All three of them were overjoyed.

Qu Hengjiang patted his legs and said, "With the reputation of Senior Tang, as soon as the Yanjing Times was released, many scholars must have flocked to him."

Guo Zhengyu bowed and said, "I have also read the masterpieces. Senior Tang's poems will definitely add a lot of color to the Yanjing Times."

Tang Xianzu smiled and said, "Shame, ashamed, but this time the 1st Yuan Gong asked me to write it to let me serialize the call book."

"Serialized call book? Isn't that a slight use?" Lu Wanjia couldn't help but be surprised.

In the minds of scholars, of course, poetry is the first, article is the second, and drama is the last, and the story is not as good as the story. Writing a story based on Tang Xianzu's reputation today is indeed a waste of talent.

Tang Xianzu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Lin Yanchao said, "The Yanjing Times' intention to create a report is not to make a comeback, but to hope that the elite and the masses can appreciate it. Even those who can only read can understand this report. The words are close to the market and can also be written. However, it is too biased to regard the prejudice of the world as difficult to enter the elegant hall."

Tang Xianzu also sighed in his heart: "What Zhuangyuan said is very true, but the opera story is the best in Xiaoke's life, and even if he loses some reputation, it's nothing."

Lu Wanjia said: "It's okay for Senior Tang. If you cherish your reputation, you might as well write a dialect in the Times under your pen name. As for poetry, you should use your real name. This is not the best of both worlds."

Tang Xianzu was moved after hearing this, thinking that this would be a good idea.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to use a pen name first. When the time comes, you can make a play and let the people in the world hear it."

After listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Tang Xianzu had no last concerns and said with a smile: "According to the words of the Zhuangyuan Gong, I am not afraid of laughing at you. The compilation of opera is better than the imperial examination and official career in my heart."

Lin Yanchao heard Tang Xianzu say this because of sincerity and knew that after he was frustrated in the imperial examination, he really looked down on fame and fortune.

After Lu Wanjia walked to the Ministry of Justice, he also sighed: "The officials in the world are mediocre, and they can leave their names in history, but the opera scripts are different. Even if they are mentioned occasionally by others hundreds of years later, it seems like they are coming back to life. Senior Tang and Lu just said nothing, and now they can only respect you."

Tang Xianzu smiled and said, "How dare you, how dare you?"

Qu Hengjiang and Guo Zhengyu were quite dissatisfied with Lu Wanjia's feelings. As for Tang Xianzu, he obviously regarded Lu Wanjia as his confidant.

Finally, everyone talked to the Yanjing Times again.

Lu Wanjia said: "What the Zhuang Yuan Gong said is that the Yanjing Times should be appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and that every scholar can understand it. This is the ambition of our generation. Students are not talented and want to do their best."

According to Lu Wanjia's intention, he wanted to host the Yanjing Times for Lin Yanchao.

After Lu Wanjia finished speaking, Guo Zhengyu said, "Teacher, Brother Lu is very talented in business. If he had him to manage it, it would be great."

Lu Wanjia said: "Brother Guo praised it. The student has a little money at home. If there is a need for money in the newspaper, he can advance funds. As long as the Times can continue, the student can continue to support it."

Qu Hengjiang smiled and said, "Sir, don't be polite to him. This person has always been known as Xiao Mengchang in the capital. We want to fight his autumn wind."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Lin Yanchao could see that Lu Wanjia was very sincere, and with Guo Zhengyu's strong recommendation, he decided to agree in his heart.
