The drama on the stage proceeded step by step.
Because of Fu Wenyu's unique stage setting, whether it is a bedroom, a flower hall, a study, or a busy street, this "The Story of Zhenniang" gave the audience a unique visual experience, as if Zhenniang's story happened right in front of them, making people unable to take their eyes off.
Such a feeling can make the audience more involved, and since it was the first time to watch it, the Liu family's women were firmly attracted by the plot on the stage, and the immersion could not be reflected in the text of the storybook.
So they saw Zhenniang, who was deeply moved, sell her dowry, and persuade her parents at home to raise a sum of money to send Bu Shiren to Beijing, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.
Bu Shiren said, "Zhenniang, I'll leave the family to you."
"Take good care of mother at home, so that I can concentrate on the imperial examination. You know mother's temper, she is just anxious to have a grandson, so if mother is dissatisfied with you during the time I'm away from home, please bear with me. I will come back to pick you up after I pass the imperial examination, and we will have a good life in the future."
Zhenniang's eyes were tearful, "Renlang, don't worry, I remember everything, you have to take good care of yourself when you are away."
Before leaving, Bu Shiren raised his finger and swore, "Zhenniang, don't worry, I will never let you down on this trip. If I let you down in the future, I will be struck by lightning..."
Zhenniang hurriedly covered his mouth, "No, no."
So Bu Shiren gradually walked away.
After Bu Shiren left, Zhenniang's situation took a sharp turn.
Bu's mother first felt uncomfortable here and there, and asked her to serve herself day and night. Then they broke into her room and searched her house on the pretext that she was stealing, and sold her maidservant who came with her as a dowry. When Zhenniang wanted to resist, Bu's mother fell to the ground with her hands on her chest, crying, "My daughter-in-law is infertile and unfilial"...
Finally, under the joint efforts of Bu's mother, Bu Xiaomei and the servants who were later bought by the Bu family with Zhenniang's money, Zhenniang was driven to the most remote corner of the house, and everything around her was taken away. Zhenniang's clothes were also changed into patched old cloth clothes, and there was only a wooden hairpin given by Bu Shiren before the marriage on her head.
Even so, Zhenniang was happy.
She sang in the dilapidated house: "I can't disturb Renlang's future."
"He studies hard."
"He has great ambitions."
"He promised to come back to pick me up after high school..."
"Mother-in-law was just anxious for a moment."
"Mother-in-law has no bad intentions."
The curtain was lowered again, and the women of the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Madam Liu said with the mentality of watching "Magu presenting peaches" for many years: "Zhen Niang is really unfortunate. She actually met such a mother-in-law. Fortunately, Bu Shiren is a talented person. After he passes the imperial examination, Zhen Niang's good days will come."
Mrs. Liu was absent-minded, "Yes."
Grandma Liu subconsciously looked at Liu Changlian.
At this time, Liu Changlian's eyes were slightly red, and she wiped her eyes secretly.
As for the other female relatives present, they were either servants and maids, or concubines of Mr. Liu, or young children, so except for the children who were clamoring to "see" and "how people left", no one else spoke.
So the curtains were pulled up again.
The stage entered the "digging wild vegetables" plot carefully designed by Fu Wenyu.
At this time, everyone found that the stage was divided into two parts. On the left was Bu Shiren who was writing furiously in the examination room, and on the right was Zhen Niang who was carrying a vegetable basket. Not only did the patches on her clothes increase, but her face also looked much older.
Zhenniang picks wild vegetables, Bu Shiren attends the Enrong Banquet.
Zhenniang cooks wild vegetables, Bu Shiren is asked about his wife.
Zhenniang eats wild vegetables, Bu Shiren meets a noble lady.
Zhenniang picks wild vegetables, Bu Shiren writes love poems.
Zhenniang cooks wild vegetables, Bu Shiren meets a noble lady.
Zhenniang eats wild vegetables, Bu Shiren guesses lantern riddles
The place where the Liu family women are sitting is gradually in turmoil.
Now, if you are not blind or deaf, you will not fail to see the problem. Bu Shiren first faces the question and does not say that he already has a wife at home, then only asks for a title for his mother, and finally spreads the love poem he wrote, and then "accidentally" meets the daughter of the master at the Lantern Festival, and deliberately guesses the same lantern riddle with her...
How similar!
But the noble lady is not Zhenniang, Zhenniang is still picking wild vegetables in her hometown!
At this time, a cheerful child's voice came from the place blocked by the curtain on the stage:
"Digging wild vegetables, I dig wild vegetables in my hometown. If I dig wild vegetable heads, I don't have to worry about food and drink; if I dig wild vegetable tails, I add more water when cooking; if I dig wild vegetable roots, I don't have to worry about life from now on."
"Digging wild vegetables, I dig wild vegetables in my hometown."
"Dig and dig wild vegetables."
"Dig wild vegetables and cook them at home, add water and salt but no oil."
"If you cook wild vegetable heads, your husband will get first place in the exam."
"If you cook wild vegetable tails, your husband will get last place in the exam."
"If you cook wild vegetable roots, your husband will marry a new person."
"Digging wild vegetables, I dig wild vegetables in my hometown. If I dig wild vegetable heads, your husband will get first place in the exam; if I dig wild vegetable tails, your husband will get last place in the exam; if I dig wild vegetable roots, your husband will marry a new person."
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
"Hahahahahaha——"
The curtain fell again.
This time, after the curtain fell, it was not quickly raised. Liu Changmiao, who had already observed that his elder sister was deeply shocked, felt a little relieved and asked curiously, "Mr. Fu, did you write this poem?"
The words of the song sung by a few children just now sounded catchy, but when you think about it carefully, it is very strange and full of irony. While Liu Changmiao felt that this poem matched the script very well, he also subconsciously felt that it should have been written by Mr. Fu.
Because only Mr. Fu, who wrote "The True and False Young Master", "The Legend of the Divine Eye", "Rebirth of the Treasure Map", and "The Legend of Zhenniang", can write such catchy words that I will remember them after listening to them once. Words from the heart.
Fu Wenyu nodded.
The song "Digging Wild Vegetables" was indeed written by him, but it was not a lyric, but a children's song.
The purpose, of course, is that it suits the play very well.
At this time, some children in the audience were already singing subconsciously, "... If you dig the heads of wild vegetables, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking; if you dig the tails of wild vegetables, add more water to the cooking; if you dig the roots of wild vegetables..."
That is the only grandson of the Liu family, the only son of Liu Changyan and Grandma Liu. He, who was only five years old at this time, felt that the song he just listened to was very nice and fun, so he immediately recited it.
Grandma Liu was startled.
She was smart, combined with her previous husband's reminder, the fact that there were no men present today, and Liu Changlian's strange behavior, she realized that something was wrong with the play. So after a brief thought, she asked the wet nurse to take away her son, the two concubines of the father-in-law, the sister-in-law who was also young from one of the concubines, and Liu Changlian's daughter.
Her move proved to be the right one.
Because "The Legend of Zhen Niang" does not have a 'happy ending'.
When Bu Shiren returned home, not only did he not recognize Zhenniang, but when Bu's mother divorced Zhenniang from Bu's house because she had no children, he also said, "I don't want to, but you can't give birth to Zhenniang." Our Bu family cannot be without heirs. ’
He ignored the father-in-law and mother-in-law who came to the door later, and allowed the vicious servants to drive them out with sticks and live on the street!
After driving away Zhenniang and the others, the Bu family's mother and son returned to their room proudly.
Bu's mother happily said: "Finally we have driven her away. 'Ziwu' is one of the seven children. Ren'er, if you divorce her, no one will say anything wrong about you. We can sit back and relax."
"Divorcing your wife will not prevent you from marrying another beautiful woman."
Bu Shiren was a little unhappy, "Mom, why did you torment her like this?"
"Fortunately, our home is far away from the capital, so the news cannot spread. Otherwise, if anyone sees her, they will think you are an evil mother-in-law. The big officials in the capital select their son-in-laws carefully."
"We'd better leave early."
Bu Mu hurriedly asked: "High official? But a high official is interested in you?"
Bu Shiren raised his head slightly and put on a haughty face, "Of course, the master in front of me has hinted to me before I leave that when I return to the capital, I can choose a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."
Bu's mother was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and ordered people to pack her bags. She walked from one end to the other, and from one end to the other. The gold hairpin on her head that originally belonged to Zhen Niang couldn't stop shaking.
At the same time, she sang proudly.
"Having a son in the family is like having a treasure;"
"You don't have to be old to marry your daughter-in-law, Zhenniang."
"A bowl of soup will make her infertile;"
"Ten thousand wealth can be obtained easily."
"My son is motivated and is a Jinshi in high school;"
"With my own eyes, my master has promised me my daughter."
"I am a loving mother, and my family and home are harmonious;"
"I am a loving mother with many children and grandchildren."
On the other side of the door, Zhenniang and her parents, who were kicked out, were confused, scared, and sad...
At this moment, Bu's mother's niece, who had not been seen for a long time, came out wearing pink clothes and two maids. When she saw Zhen Niang, she covered her mouth and started laughing.
"...Isn't this my virtuous cousin-in-law? Why is she like this?"
When Zhenniang finished talking about the matter in a daze, she suddenly laughed and said, "Are you stupid?"
"Don't you know that when you first married into the Bu family, my aunt asked you to drink medicine out of sheer desperation, and those medicines contained infertile decoctions?"
"Of course you won't be able to give birth if you drink the decoction!"
Zhenniang and her parents were both shocked. Zhenniang's mother hurriedly asked: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this?! My son Zhenniang is the daughter-in-law of the Bu family. She is the daughter-in-law of the Bu family!"
"Isn't Mother Bu anxious to have her grandson?"
The 'maternal niece' sneered, "My good aunt and good cousin are not in a hurry at all."
Then she pointed at the wide-eyed Zhen Niang and sang loudly.
"You are so stupid that you cannot recognize people;"
"You are weak and easy to bully, and you give in every step."
"You are the kid who lives in the bustling city with a fortune, and you have been targeted for a long time."
"My aunt has been prepared;"
"My cousin has evil intentions."
"First I marry you, and then I make you infertile. The curse of infertility surrounds you every day, making you bow your head, making you feel guilty, and making you miserable and haggard."
"You bow your head, you give in."
"From then on, all the wealth was given away!"
Zhenniang and her parents suddenly realized, then collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly.
But at some point, Liu Changlian in the audience burst into tears.
