Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Hearing what Chen Youlan said, Li Xin didn't continue talking. He smiled mysteriously and turned his gaze back to the simple wooden lectern in front of him. Chen Youlan curled her lips without leaving a trace, always feeling that there seemed to be something else meaningful in Li Xin's smile.

The monk on the stage really spoke well, and the audience in the audience listened with gusto and even shouted hello from time to time. Even Chen Youlan felt a little immersed in it, and one can imagine how backward the spiritual civilization construction of the Tang people was.

Li Xin coughed twice, then suddenly smiled and said, "According to Zijin, Miss Youlan has read many books?"

Chen Youlan blushed slightly, and said: "Don't listen to him talking nonsense outside. I just like to flip through books in my spare time. It can't be said that I have read a lot." At that time, she only said those words out of anger. I thought, boasting that I have read a lot of poetry and books is really embarrassing.

Li Xin pretended to be serious and asked: "So have you ever read a story about the white snake?"

"White Snake?" Chen Youlan was stunned for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "Which book is this allusion? I don't seem to have seen it before."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's not the stories recorded in the Four Books, Five Classics and Sutra Commentaries, but what I read from a very old book."

Chen Youlan's curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "What book is that? What's wrong with the white snake?" Xiaoling behind her also blinked her big eyes at Li Xin. The two healthy servants who followed the girl had heard Chen Youlan call Li Xin "King of Chu" a long time ago, so they didn't dare to go forward and say more, so they had to stand behind silently.

Li Xin looked around and said, "It's too noisy here, let's talk about it in another place."

So, he led Chen Youlan and a group of servants to a relatively quiet corridor, and sat carelessly on the steps, without the slightest awareness that being the king of Chu shouldn't be so vulgar. However, he is also going out in a low-clothes today after all, and it is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to recognize him except Chen Youlan.

Chen Youlan hesitated for a while, and finally asked Xiaoling to put a handkerchief on the steps before sitting down. The guards of the two of them lined up all around to prevent idlers from approaching.

"Can I say it?" Chen Youlan asked. She didn't understand why she came here with Li Xin, her face was slightly hot. Perhaps Li Xin can always say something surprising, so she is so interested in the "white snake" he casually said.

Li Xin smiled and said: "The time when this story happened is unknown, only that there was a snake demon who practiced for thousands of years and finally turned into a human form. In order to repay the life-saving grace of a scholar in his previous life, he left the mountains and came to the world."

No matter how the world evolves, people's aesthetics of stories remain unchanged. The classic Legend of the White Snake of later generations, no matter which dynasty it gets, is an irresistible story with twists and turns.

Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Youlan said with red eyes: "Then Fa Hai is too nosy, other people's family lives well, so why bother breaking it up?" Xiaoling beside her was even tearful, Can't help asking: "Then what happened later? Did the Leifeng Pagoda fall?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Xiaoling frowned even tighter, with the tendency of bursting into tears.

This is also Li Xin's fault. He said that the story was so devoted and realistic that the two emotional girls beside him couldn't help being moved by the love between White Snake and Xu Xian.

Li Xintian was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of the girl crying, so he quickly gave up the idea of ​​showing off, saying: "But later, Xu Xian and the son of White Snake, the champion of high school, returned to the Leifeng Pagoda to sacrifice to his mother, and rescued the white snake. Finally, They are reunited as a family and live happily together. Stop crying, you two."

When Xiaoling heard that White Snake and Xu Xian were reunited, she burst into tears and laughed, and asked again: "What about Xiaoqing?"

This stumped Li Xin. He didn't pay attention to Xiaoqing's ending in his previous life, so he said casually: "Probably... I finally found my husband-in-law and lived a happy life."

However, Xiao Ling seemed dissatisfied with the ending, she pouted and said, "How could this be? Didn't they marry Xu Xian together?"

This is the Tang Dynasty, and it is a fixed rule for the personal servant girl to marry the hostess lady together and become the housemaid. When Xiaoling asks such words, she probably substitutes herself into Xiaoqing, so who is the White Snake and who is Xu Xian?

Li Xin couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Chen Youlan was still immersed in her hatred for Fahai, and she didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Xiaoling's words. She said: "What about the different paths of the monsters? Is this important? Why can't they be together?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "You are too young."

Chen Youlan snorted and said, "How old are you?"

Li Xin didn't reply, and said to himself: "Stories are written by people, and most of the time they are just to express dissatisfaction with reality. It's really not that good to be a monster. What about the gap between the big family and the poor family? How is it different from this human monster?"

Chen Youlan was stunned. She had never thought about these issues before, and when she was listening to the story, she didn't realize what the story was trying to imply. Now hearing Li Xin's casual words, she suddenly felt somewhat enlightened. She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the handsome young man sitting on the steps beside her, and once again felt that she couldn't see through him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu said just now that this story was read from a very old book." Chen Youlan thought about it, and said, "Now I say that this story is actually alluding to those famous families and their prejudices. I want to know, is this really a story written in an ancient book? Could it be written by His Highness King Chu?"

Li Xin smiled indifferently, waved his hands and said, "Is this question very important?"

This can be regarded as a kind of default.

Chen Youlan didn't ask any more questions. From her point of view, whether it was the song "Qixi" that day or the Legend of the White Snake narrated by Li Xin today, both have the potential to be passed down through the ages. If anyone still told Chen Youlan that Li Xin was an ignorant dude, she would probably scoff on the spot. Where in the world is there such an ignorant dude?

Just as Chen Youlan was about to speak, there was a sudden scream not far from the other side, and a thick female voice shouted: "Come on! Help! Someone has fallen!"

Li Xin jumped up and ran towards the direction of the sound. Zhang Ben and Chen Hu hurriedly followed.

Chen Youlan hesitated for a moment, then called Xiaoling and the servants behind her to follow.
