"The Book of Yingying was written by feudal literati, so they will naturally defend their behavior. However, Yuan Song was for the people. The people felt that Zhang Sheng in "The Book of Yingying" was a scumbag and did not like this ending, so Wang Shifu and others catered to the needs of the public and changed it to a romantic story and a beautiful ending of talented men and beautiful women. This kind of love that breaks through feudal shackles and free love can be said to be a voice of the people below."

"Taking a concubine is also a matter that only royal relatives and literati and bureaucrats are qualified. Minglu stipulates that people over the age of 40 have no children to listen to, that is, civilians can only take concubines when they are over forty and have no descendants. Thinking of this way, it is not difficult to understand why "The Legend of Yingying" has become "The Legend of the West Chamber". "The Legend of Yingying" only reflects the literary style of literati at most, but it is far inferior to the "The Legend of the West Chamber" that the public loves." Chu Yun said in a leisurely manner.

Liu Rushi thought a little when he heard Chu Yun’s opinion.

"Sir, how many wives and concubines do you want to find?" Ella asked.

"How many do you want me to find?" Chu Yun asked back.

"It doesn't matter if you find Ella a few. Just be a concubine for Ella." Ella said.

"Stop talking. When you enter the door of our Han man, you must abide by our rules. Being a wife and being a concubine is not something you can decide, but I have the final say." Chu Yun did not doubt Aila's words, but said deliberately.

"As for the order." Ella sat upright in cooperation.

When Liu Rushi saw Chu Yun, he looked masculine, but he seemed to be a little different from the talented men in Jiangnan who were familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. He was a little martial and domineering, and he actually had a hint of envy.

"The matchmaker is out!" Someone who was watching the show called out.

Chu Yun, Aila, and Liu Rushi all looked at the stage.

I saw the little matchmaker who helped Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying get married. She was about ten years old and was as beautiful as a flower and like a cloud, and she already had the temperament of a famous actor. The audience members in the audience were all focused and held their breath. While looking forward, they were worried about her. If the singing skills were not worthy of the temperament of appearing, it would make people feel sorry for her. However, the audience's worries were redundant. The little matchmaker's voice was silly and graceful, which made some spectators who loved opera intoxicated.

If it is put into modern times, it is a standard child star. It’s a pity that the status of actors in this era is very low.

"What's her name?" Chu Yun asked Liu Rushi, always feeling that he had an intersection with Liu Rushi, and maybe he was also a woman with a name and surname.

"Chen Yuanyuan." Liu Rushi looked at the stage, as if he saw himself a few years ago.

Chen Yuanyuan? Chu Yun was calm on the surface, but was shocked in his heart. During this trip to Jiangnan, he met Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu, Liu Rushi, and Chen Yuanyuan, all of whom had left a strong mark in history! Wu Sangui was angry and rushed to the crown for beauty, leading Qing soldiers into the pass, and the heroine was Chen Yuanyuan!

Of course, we cannot put the pot on a woman. Wu Sangui in this time and space was seriously injured by Chu Yun's Liao army in Liaodong. Although he left his life, he almost became half a useless person. It is estimated that he would never have any intersection with Chen Yuanyuan in his life.

Liu Rushi wanted to redeem Chen Yuanyuan, and the world line seemed to have changed due to Chu Yun's arrival, and the future of countless people was changed by Chu Yun.

When Chu Yun and the others came in, "The West Chamber" had just begun, and then they sang for three hours. This was the first time Ella watched this drama, and she was a little fascinated. Chu Yun was almost familiar with the plot of "The West Chamber", and she was not so interested. She focused on enjoying the folk delicacies in Suzhou. Strangely, Liu Rushi was originally so familiar with "The West Chamber" that he was no longer familiar with it, and this time he was also watching it with all his heart.

When "The West Chamber" ended, there was a lot of cheers in the hall, and more applause was for Chen Yuanyuan, the little matchmaker, which instead took away the limelight of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying.

"How do you redeem Chen Yuanyuan later?" Chu Yun asked Liu Rushi.

"I went to the back to find Deban Tou and asked him to go to the Pear Garden to dispose of Chen Yuanyuan's name, and then he left the origin of the Pear Garden from then on." Liu Rushi said.

"No, the Jiangnan region has implemented a household registration certificate system and has cancelled all kinds of abnormal household registrations such as hereditary military, craftsmanship, slaves, etc. Even if it is a servant, a guard, or a housekeeper, it is only a hiring relationship to the master, and there is no personal subordinate relationship anymore. Why should you care about the origin of the Liyuan?" Chu Yun asked.

In the early Ming Dynasty, many systems of the Yuan Dynasty were inherited, and the craftsmanship and other systems have now been separated from the requirements of productivity.

"If the actors are not in the Pear Garden, they cannot join the opera troupe below the Pear Garden. How can they solve the problem of food and clothing? In fact, entering the Pear Garden is no different from selling themselves, especially those with some beauty." Liu Rushi sighed.

There are also these problems. Chu Yun came to Jiangnan himself and found a series of problems encountered in the implementation of the new policy, some of which cannot be imagined by imagination.

Liu Rushi didn't expect that he would sigh that the actors would make Chu Yun realize some loopholes, which led to Chu Yun's special rectification and regulation of some special industries. Of course, this is the future...

"We go to the backstage with you, and I always feel that things are not that simple." After Chu Yun knew that the person Liu Rushi wanted to redeem was Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't think that redeeming himself would cost more than 200 taels of silver.

Moreover, the girl Chen Yuanyuan won the applause just now, and she has already shown the temperament of a generation of talent. The head of the troupe may not be able to kill the chicken to get eggs.

"Because we are the ones who are inferior to us, will we be troubled by the Lord..." Liu Rushi hesitated.

"In my eyes, scholars may not be higher than Youlian, and after the household registration certificate system, everyone has become equal in basic human rights." Chu Yun said.

"Then I'll bother you." Liu Rushi bowed slightly. She also realized that all her property might not be able to redeem Chen Yuanyuan.

The dressing room of the troupe is set behind the stage. When Liu Rushi took Chu Yun and Ella to the backstage, he was stopped by the troupe.

"Who are you? The backstage is the main site of the opera troupe, so don't trespass." said the troupe's person.

"I inform your class leader and said that Mr. Liu wanted to talk to him about yesterday's incident." Liu Rushi lowered his voice.

"Young Master Liu? Please wait."

After the troupe entered, he came out with a man in a costume.

"Young Master Liu, let's give up what I said last time, what do you think?" The head of the troupe said before Liu Rushi could speak.

"But didn't we agreed yesterday to redeem Chen Yuanyuan with 200 taels of silver?" Liu Rushi took out a few silver notes, "This is my entire possession."

Sure enough, something happened. Chu Yun was not surprised. If he was just an ordinary ten-year-old actor, he might be more than enough to redeem his life for 200 taels, but this is Chen Yuanyuan.
