Happy Little Scholar

"Have you been to Qunyuyuan recently?"

"No, what's wrong? Is there a new girl in Qunyu Courtyard?"

"There are no new girls, but there are quite a few new tricks. It's a pity that you didn't go."

"Tell me about it, tell me about it, my wife is going back to her parents' house today, I'll go and see her in the evening."

"Tsk, tsk, what the girls in Qunyuyuan are wearing now is called a temptation. You know, they don't wear bellybands now. Well, that seems to be called a bra... Oh, no, I have to give it to my family. Madam, I’ll also buy a few..."

When he saw two young people on the street deliberately talking loudly about something, attracting many people to listen, Li Yi was a little stunned. Who invited these shills? Their acting skills were poor, their performances were exaggerated, and they had no lines. With a little depth, can it be a little more fake?

When I was thinking this, I saw a man suddenly come up to me and said in surprise: "What brother is talking about is the most popular new underwear in Kyoto recently? To be honest, I also want to buy a set for my wife, but... Don’t know where to buy it?”

"I must be a fellow-traveler, so I won't hide it from you..." The man who just spoke said with a smile: "Go straight along this road, turn left at the first intersection, and turn left at the second intersection. Turn right at the intersection and walk about ten feet further, and you will see the shop. However, only women can enter there. Brother, please remember to bring your wife with you..."

"Oh, thank you, brother, thank you, brother..."

…

…

"Uncle, what are they talking about?" Xiaohuan asked, blinking.

"Kid, don't ask so many questions. Let's go and listen to the show." Li Yi patted her on the head and said.

"I'm not young anymore..." The little maid looked down, muttered, and followed quickly.

Seeing more and more people gathered around that place, Li Yi was surprised. She had really started to reform underwear, but the marketing techniques were a bit low, and she might have to suffer some losses to realize it.

Passing by the shop that the man mentioned just now, I saw that the queue of women outside the shop had already reached three to five feet away. They were all gorgeous, and they were still ogling the men passing by, and kept urging the people in front to hurry up. Standing at the door of the shop was a woman who was stronger than Lao Fang. She was the one who blocked him from entering the workshop that day.

She just said that she might suffer a loss, but she didn't expect that the store's business was so booming. Her face hurt, so she pulled Xiaohuan and left quickly. If she stayed a little longer, she might have to go into the store to take a look.

It didn't take long to realize that among those people, most of them were women from brothels. Women from ordinary families were not so bold and blatantly bought those shameful personal items. I am afraid that brothels everywhere had to raise their prices because of Qunyuyuan. If one's own core competitiveness is compared with others in certain aspects, over time, the company will lose its reputation and the company will lose.

Although the price of those small pieces of fabric is a bit more expensive, the guests love it!

…

…

Naturally, the most popular opera to listen to these days is "The Peacock Flies Southeast". How popular Goulan is among the people can be seen from the fact that every ticket for each performance is sold out.

There are several standardized check-in bars. In addition to the ordinary sessions, there are also VIP sessions and women's sessions. The tickets for the VIP sessions are more expensive, but the service is more attentive. Free smoothies and cold drinks are provided in summer. As for the women's session, it is It was opened recently.

There are differences between men and women, especially for women. They cannot be crowded into a crowded place with so many men. The first person to propose this idea was Wan Ruoqing. Among women, there are actually many who like to listen to operas, especially Being emotional, they prefer dramas about love such as "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "The Peacock Flies Southeast".

When Li Yi and Xiao Huan walked into Goulan, they saw many women coming in and out with curtains covering their faces. Judging from their clothes, they did not look like ordinary people.

Ruyi was invited by the Crown Princess today. They had a lot of gatherings these days. Miss Liu Er was naturally busy every day. Even Yongning was taken into the palace by the old emperor for two days. Out of boredom, she could only take the little girl with her. Come out and watch the show.

"The Peacock Flies Southeast" is a recent new play. It tells the story of Liu Lanzhi, a talented and beautiful man, who sincerely fell in love with Jiao Zhongqing, a small official in Lujiang during the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, her mother-in-law, Jiao's mother, made things difficult for Liu Lanzhi because she had not given birth for two or three years. , Lanzhi resolutely asked to return, but Zhongqing's plea to his mother was ineffective, so the couple had to say goodbye, and they both "swore not to be in vain".

After Liu Lanzhi returned home, she was forced to marry by her evil brother, and she had no choice but to agree to marry the son of the prefect. Jiao Zhongqing came after hearing about the incident, and the couple agreed to "meet under the underworld." On the happy day of Lanzhi's wedding, Liu Lanzhi "went there "Qingchi", Jiao Zhongqing "hanged himself on the southeast branch", and the couple both died in love.

Before the play even started, an old storyteller read "The Peacock Flies Southeast" in a sad and hoarse voice.

"On that day, the cows and horses were neighing, and the bride entered the green house. After dusk, the dying man settled down in silence. "I am destined to die today, my soul will be gone and my body will remain forever! "I took off my silk shoes and took off my skirt, and went to the clear pond. When the government officials heard about this, they knew that they would be separated for a long time. I wandered under the tree in the courtyard and hung myself from the southeast branch."

Before the main drama even started, Xiaohuan was already holding Li Yi's arm and crying quietly.

"Aunt, uncle, Lanzhi, Lanzhi is so pitiful, that old woman, why, how can she be so bad!"

Shouldn't the ending of a good love story be that the two people get back together, happily, and live a happy life together?

One threw himself into the clear pool, the other hanged himself on a southeast tree------it was really miserable!

Li Yi patted the little maid's shoulder to comfort her. It was miserable, but there was nothing he could do. If it wasn't miserable, how could it move more people? If it wasn't miserable, how could it cause many women to reflect on their own status and have even a little bit of resistance to feudal ethics and feudal ethics? If it wasn't miserable------how could this fire burn more vigorously?

It is said that most literati are angry young people. They dare to write anything with a pen, especially those who write novels and scripts. What they lack the most is rebels. The scale is so large that it is shocking.

I don't know what this "Anonymous" thinks. Does he think the recent period is not sensitive enough? What is the purpose of writing such things?

Does he want to expose the cannibalistic nature of feudal ethics and enthusiastically praise the rebellious spirit of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing who are loyal to love and resist oppression? Or does he want to express the people's ardent yearning for freedom of love and marriage?

Especially, she created a typical image of Liu Lanzhi, who reached the extreme of what a woman can do in terms of loyalty to family obligations, but could only end up with a tragic ending, implying the tragic fate of women in feudal society. What does this make women who read the play think?

Li Yi sighed and said, "Hard intentions, hard intentions..."
