About the author
冯梦龙 Feng Menglong
235 books20 followersFeng Menglong (1574–1646) was a Chinese vernacular writer and poet of the late Ming Dynasty.
Most of his literary work was in editing and compiling histories, almanacs and novels. Two of his noteworthy novels are Qing Shi and the shenmo work Pingyao Zhuan. In 1620 he published the Illustrious Words to Instruct the World (喻世明言 Yushi Mingyan), or Stories Old and New.
Feng was a proponent of the school of Li Zhi, which supported the importance of human feelings and behavior in literature. He is frequently associated with Ling Mengchu, author of Slapping the Table in Amazement.
Feng Menglong was in love with a famous prostitute when he was young. Unfortunately, Feng Menglong was not able to afford to redeem his lover out. At the end, his lover was redeemed by a merchant, and they had to leave each other. Feng Menglong suffered from pain and desperation due to the separation, and he expressed his sorrow through poems. This experience influenced the way he portrayed female characters in his stories. In fact, Feng Menglong was one of the few authors who portrayed female as being strong and intelligent; and this is different from other authors, where they tended to ignore the importance of female’s position. The female characters in Feng Menglong’s stories were portrayed as brave and bright when dealing with different situations. For instance, in his story Wan Xiuniang Takes Revenge Through Toy Pavilions from Jing Shi Tong Yan, Wan Xiuniang showed her braveness during her tough times, and she was able to escape using her intelligence. Other female characters, such as Miss Du Shi Niang and Qu Xiuxiu, are example to show Feng Menglong’s respect to female.
Feng Menglong expressed his attitudes towards the society through his works, and the reason was tightly related to his experience during his career. Feng Menglong became a local officer in Shouning in his sixties. He pursued justice and wished to build up his reputation by acting as an honest and upright official. Unfortunately, he was born in a time of corruption; bribery and extortion were common bureaucratic behaviors, and they opposed the principle of Feng Menglong. Realizing that atmosphere of corruption could not be easily changed, Feng Menglong conveyed his discontent and patriotism through words. Each character of his stories has strong and direct characteristics: there is a clear morality line drawn between “good” and “bad”. Moreover, the meaning behind the stories explores the social issues during Ming Dynasty. For instance, the story The White Maiden Locked for Eternity in Leifeng Pagoda and The Young Lady Gives the Young Man a Gift of Money from Jing Shi Tong Yan express the idea of how women pursue their freedom and happiness under a feudal society.

It is a book which promotes ancient Chinese life wisdoms via a collection of stories (40 short stories in total). It is a part of the collection of San Yan Liang Pai by Menglong Feng. Since the stories were not written by the same person, the writing styles and the topics are quite diverse. It is also not surprising to notice that some stories are just so so. I like this book because it is positive, and most of the stories are really good.

《susan说》及论苏三怎么反杀
陶喆虽然渣 但这首歌我是真爱了十几年
评论区有人说南京是台北人的耶路撒冷
虽然苏三的故事跟金陵也扯不上关系
但我就是莫名喜欢这种南辕北辙的不搭界
好了扯回正题你若是苏三被卖做小妾
情郎进京赶考无力回救，
你上天入地都无门，何解？
虽然我没听过那出戏
原著应该是《三言二拍》里的若我没记错？
其中的一些逻辑错误就不提了
纯发散思维：
既然是名妓想必身段皮相是拔尖的
那么笼络男人尤其老爷应该不在话下
所以首先要察言观色家中何人做主
其次搞清楚自己的卖身契被何人捏着
（一般都是正房大娘子）
接下来就要制定自救方案了：
方案1 脑子进水的：
什么都不做 默默哭 被冤枉 等情郎来救
差评 零分 负分 红牌罚下场 三振出局 终身禁赛
方案2 借刀杀人的：
必要笼络住家中老爷（扛把子一家之主）
目的就是把卖身契挪到老爷那里
然后发现大娘子与奸夫的奸情
使计捅给老爷知道
结局：应该是不能扶正的，且与情郎越分越远
方案3 一石二鸟的：
在大娘子面前表忠心且有意无意助力奸夫淫妇约会（此条难度极大，但因自身最大把柄——卖身契在对方手里，如脑子聪明可如履薄冰度过）
在老爷面前就要做白莲花绿茶了你懂的
然后你得设计让两方狗咬狗 推波助澜 让夫妻二人两败俱伤 三方相逢智者胜
（此项顶级难度 除非你反抽命运力道惊人 否则灰飞烟灭）
这时差不多情郎回来了 看看这男人还能处不 能处就叫他去收拾残局吧
结局：大概率可以和情郎厮守 依旧不能被扶正 情郎心有余而力不足 唉
怎么看都是个姨娘的命 不爽啊。且这已经是苏三在古代现实里能走到的最高的点了
至于立女户就算了吧，古代没点背景的女户等同挨宰的羔羊，情郎王金龙还算是有情有义，跟着他生个一儿半女的日后下半辈子也可以了。评分：60分（满分100）勉强及格
最后，妈的，为何3和1结局一样？no no no
看似一样，内里的芯子能一样吗？
你以为王金龙的后宅就很太平吗？
画风一转，我忽然要感谢我党
没有我党，妇女地位至今都没有半边天好吗
本人是坚决拥护我党的粉红派
——————————————————
3.9 王宝钏的反杀
根据戏文，王宝钏在被薛平贵（尚公主后称王）抬为平妻（戏文里是模糊处理并未直接点名是皇后）后第18天殁。
原先呢我觉得唯一的出路在：薛平贵要求抬平妻之时 王宝钏应自请下堂，方可保命。
但是这是死路，因为薛平贵很有可能是要在朝臣和百姓面前营造不苛责糟糠妻的形象。故 ，同意你下堂 = 抛弃糟糠妻 后果对他很不利 口诛笔伐，政治生涯受阻。
但是不对啊，薛平贵已经自封为王，试问一个诸侯国大王不要旧老婆虽然听起来不太好但是也没有什么大问题，政治生涯完全不会受阻啊，所以老薛迎王宝钏回来是补偿心理吗？又或者是，其他目的？
戏文里的多个逻辑bug：
1 薛平贵已经举兵造反成功且成为西凉王，试问西凉国如何接受一个外族人称帝？
2 如果老薛有本事铲除一切异己称帝，那尚的公主为何还要留着？是稳固朝堂还是几分真心？
3 若老薛是跟世族大家谈妥了利益分成，那么更没理由留着公主，因为流水的皇帝铁打的世家，世族扶持老薛上位，当然是把自己女儿嫁给他，日后外孙称帝 世家就是另类太上皇，所以必须死的不是应该是公主吗？
然后更荒谬（让人胆战心惊）的bug来了
4 老薛回家找老妻还得试探，看住在寒窑18年的对方是否依旧忠贞，且以一副父系制度上位者考察下属是否值得拥有大礼包的心态
5 让人不得其解的是安排王宝钏做平妻，大王的妻妾都有严格礼制规定，原配不是王后吗？平妻这个完全脱离皇室礼制的，不尴不尬的，听起来更像是过渡期的临时称号着实让人费解。
6 且，西凉国诸位臣子为何同意大王这突然杀出来的一记回马枪？
7 老薛此举，是否是一种意欲突破政治局面平衡的微妙试探？
8 若老薛真的对老妻情深义重，且有摆平朝臣异议的铁血手腕，那王宝钏又为何短短十来天就暴毙？
9 最后，为何戏文要安排王宝钏死？要给老薛和公主的爱情让道，又贱兮兮地把原配接回来表示情深意重，最后又插刀教似的把原配写死了，欲盖弥彰的此地无银三百两。
所以，一个不太可能的真相浮出水面：老薛迎回王宝钏，不是因为怕被人骂抛弃糟糠妻，而是将老妻当做挡箭牌，棋子，完成政治布局而做。王宝钏的死亡是老薛一手推动——王宝钏是祭品。（当然 只是戏文逻辑bug下的推演，不能深挖）
另类剧本：如果老薛没有造反：
一个武将能做到尚公主，看似是无上荣耀，但反向证明他已经成为天家大忌，忌到天家不惜下嫁公主来拴牢你这个隐形炮弹。薛平贵已经完全不是自由身，不仅仅是平时在朝堂上没有议政的资格——根据惯例驸马是没有实权的，而且日后生儿育女都是为天家卖命——变相的人质，防止你造反。
第二发散思维，糟糠妻被谁搞死的也不知道，也不一定是公主出手，甚至说这种局面下死亡反倒是解脱（王宝钏依旧是祭品）。
第三发散思维，二人有无孩子不知，大概率也是要么嗝屁要么被捧杀养废，且薛平贵也毫无插手之力
你看看这么一算，薛平贵就是做了半拉子事，你要么干脆举兵造反50%概率成功，也好过被人牵制一辈子。当然，不是人人都是朱元璋，更多的人都是被命运牵着走，而且公主是不是也很冤？虽然她天生就是联姻棋子，嫁到塞外和亲，嫁给权臣牵制，有毛区别？或者更狠点，公主自己有魄力，为毛不能做第二个吕雉武后？但可能性很低很低，经历过深渊的女人才有翻盘的决心，且必须要有帮手，否则免谈。
扯回话题，此局无解，王宝钏不管是不是恋爱脑，是不是有翻盘决心，在那时都无力回天，必死无疑。
最后，虽然是戏文，但你我都知道 历史里这样被迫牺牲的女性何其多，新中国的女性地位已经是世界排名数一的了吧？ 即便老美，女性嫁人后还得随夫姓呢。
