Textbook drama: Tang drama does not live up to its mission (script)
Characters: Qin Wang, two guards of Qin Wang, two ministers of An, Tang Ju.
(Voice-over: In the last decade of the Warring States, Qin annexed one vassal state after another by sweeping away the leaves in the autumn wind. Korea was destroyed in 230 BC and Wei in 225 BC. Anling, a small country attached to Wei, is also facing a critical moment of life and death. )
First act
(In Anlingjun's palace, the atmosphere is dull, and Anlingjun keeps pacing up and down on the ground, bowing his head from time to time.)
Second Minister of Anling State (I): Your Majesty, please say something.
An Lingjun: (after thinking a little, slowly) Today, I invited two people, mainly ... (Pause) Yesterday, you can see that the envoy of the State of Qin conveyed the meaning of the King of Qin: he said that he would exchange five hundred miles of land in Fiona Fang with us. Look at that tough tone. Although I euphemistically use my late king as an excuse, all wise people know what this is. I wonder, what should we do next after Qin Shihuang returns to China? The main reason for inviting you two today is to listen to your opinions.
Second Minister of Anling State (1): Your Majesty, with all due respect, the State of Qin has deteriorated greatly in recent years, and even a small country like us can't fight hard with him. I've been thinking about it for two days, and I think ...
Ann Ling Jun: Tell me about it.
I wonder if I can temporarily promise him an annual tribute. After we have accumulated some strength, we will argue with him.
Second Minister of Anling State (another person): Your Majesty, it is obviously a trap for the King of Qin to exchange 500 Li with us. If you give in now, there will be no chance to turn over in the future. Although Qin is powerful, we need not be afraid of him. He can't always say who to hit. If someone can be sent to explain the reason to him, he is embarrassed not to agree. As long as he promised us, we could avoid the robbery. As for the future, we will take a long-term view.
Ann Ling Jun: That makes sense. But who can shoulder this heavy responsibility? (Very worried)
Second Minister of Anling State (I): Your Majesty, in my opinion, Tang Ju can be sent to Qin State.
The second minister of Anling (the other): Your Majesty, Tang Ju is eloquent, intelligent and loyal to your Majesty, and really belongs to him.
Ann: OK, then we'll send Tang Ju to the State of Qin.
Act ii
(Outside the gate of Anlingjun Palace, Anlingjun is holding Tang Ju, full of nostalgia and expectation)
Tang Ju: Your Majesty, please go back. I will take action according to the situation.
An: Tang, this trip to Qin is unusual. Take care all the way.
Tang Ju: Your Majesty, don't worry. If I really can't come back, you don't have to be sad. There will be many people loyal to you in Anling.
Ann: Don, I propose a toast to you. The safety of Anling depends on you.
(Tang Ju took the wine, gulped it down and left generously. An Lingjun stood for a long time until Tang Ju's back was out of sight. )
Act iii
Qin bodyguard: (loudly) On the orders of the king of Qin, the messenger from the mausoleum presented it.
(Tang Ju slowly enters the palace)
Qin Wang: (sitting on the floor, looking proud and looking up slightly) Are you from Ling Jun?
Tang Ju: Yes, Your Majesty.
Qin Wang: Your name is Tang Ju?
Tang Ju: Yes, Your Majesty.
Qin Wang: Come and sit down.
Tang Ju: Xie Wang. (Sitting on the floor, knees on the ground, hips on heels)
Qin Wang: I want to exchange 500 Li for An Ling. I heard that Anlingjun didn't promise me. What happened? As you know, Qin destroyed Korea and Wei, and you can still walk only five miles to Anlingjun, because I regard Anlingjun as an honest elder, so I didn't play his mind.
Tang Ju: A Ling Jun always talks about your kindness to us courtiers. This time I came to see the king, on the one hand, I also took An Lingjun to thank him.
Qin Wang: Thank you is not necessary. I just don't understand. Now I want Anlingjun to expand his territory with ten times the goodwill of the local area, but Anlingjun doesn't want to. Doesn't he take me seriously?
Tang Ju: Your Majesty, I don't think you can say that. You think, a Ling Junren accepted the fief of the former king, even if you used thousands of miles of land, a Ling Junren would not dare to exchange it. Did you just change 500 miles?
King Qin: (furious) Have you ever heard of the emperor's anger?
Tang Ju: To be honest, I have never heard of it.
Qin Wang: Then let me tell you something. When the emperor is angry, millions of people die. (Say that finish glanced at Tang Ju, Tang Ju looked dull, the king of Qin made another gesture, and then said).
Tang Ju: After hearing what you said. It's really not normal for the son of heaven to be angry. I dare ask the king: Have you ever heard of the anger of ordinary people?
King Qin: (with a contemptuous smile) What do people look like when they are angry? Just take off your hat, barefoot, and hit your head on the ground. What else can we do?
Tang Ju: Your Majesty, you are wrong. You are talking about the anger of a mediocre and incompetent person. Take off your hat, barefoot, and hit your head on the ground. This is not the anger of a truly brave person. Have you ever heard that when Zhuan Xu assassinated Liao Wang, the comet's tail swept across the moon?
Qin Wang: (shaking his head) Never heard of it.
Tang Ju: Then you should know that when Nie Zheng assassinated Han Jing, a white light shone directly at the sun.
Qin Wang: (shaking his head) I don't know.
Tang Ju: That was before Qing Ji was assassinated, when the goshawk pounced on the palace. You should know this, right? These three people, all ordinary people, have signs of heaven before their anger is vented. Add these three people, and I'll be four. If a real warrior is angry, only two people will die, and there will not be much blood, but everyone wants Dai Xiao. Let's call it a day. (with a sword)
Qin Wang: (changes his face and hesitates) Sit down, sir! Please sit down quickly! I was just joking. How can you take it seriously? I understand now: Han and Wei are extinct, but Anling exists 50 miles away because of you! Somebody, move this table and open another one. I want to get drunk with my husband!
Qin bodyguard: (loudly) preach the will of the king of Qin and hold a banquet!
(under the curtain)
(Voice-over: In this struggle between a weak country and a strong country, Tang Ju of Anling country accomplished her task brilliantly. And this story has since become a much-told story. )

Act I Dialogue with God
(A woman mopping the floor, casually holding her hair, wearing a skewed skirt, revealing a pair of red hands, and the wife of the fierce boss next to her put her hands on her waist)
Old: Hurry up! If you are lazy, I will deduct your salary!
M: (loudly) I know, I know, I will try.
(After the proprietress left, Emma came to the window, looked at the sky and put down the mop in her hand. )
M: God, why is it so unfair, why, why! (loudly)
(God is watching from heaven)
God: alas! My poor child, how unfortunate you are, but there is nothing I can do. This is fate, and it is also the doom of your life. My poor child, what a beautiful woman you used to be. Unfortunately, fate has made you the daughter of a clerk. Finally, you married a clerk in the Ministry of Education.
Please allow me to tell the world your misfortune, son. I know your heart very well. I know what you want, but, but. ...
M: If only I grew up in an elegant and luxurious family (intoxicated)-oriental curtains, wide tables and chairs, high bronze lamps, exquisite machines, exotic antiques, and a fragrant little guest room (the bucket was knocked over). My god (painful expression), I really want to live in a dream, instead of facing it all day and trying my best to repay what should belong to me. (Continue mopping the floor)
God: That time (sigh) ten years ago changed your destiny. Alas, I only remember that it was a long time ago.
Act II Plan to Borrow Chain
God: One night, when Lu came home, there was a tablecloth on the round table that had not been washed for three days. The horse is still depressed, but Lu is full of joy.
(The road uncovers the lid)
Lu: (surprised) ah! What a delicious broth! There is nothing better than this!
(Ma Melancholy)
(Lou takes out the invitation from his bag and Mathilde takes it)
M: Minister of Education George Lambeno and his wife sincerely invite Mr. and Mrs. Loizai to attend the party held in the auditorium of the Ministry of Education on Monday 1 month 18.
She put the letter down slowly, thought for a moment, and then threw it into her husband's arms.
What do you want me to do with this?
Lu: (stuttering, at a loss) But, honey, I think you must like it very much. Where are you from?
Come out or not, this is an opportunity, a good opportunity! How hard it took me to get it! Everyone wants it, but it is hard to get it and rarely distributed to staff. You can see all the officials there.
M: (looking at Loire angrily, sideways) How are you going to tell me where to go? ?
Lu: (stuttering quickly to Mathilde) "In my opinion, that dress you wore in the theater is very good." ...
(The horse wipes his tears with his hand, sobbing)
Lu: (panicking) You, what's wrong with you! Why are you crying? What happened to you!
M: (calmly) Nothing, except that I can't go to the party without a decent dress. you
Dear colleagues, whose wife is better dressed than me, send this invitation to whom! (Speaking of which, I cried again. )
Lou: All right, Mathilde. Make a suitable dress that can be worn on other occasions. It's simple.
how much is it?
Horse; (Thinking for a few seconds, hesitating to take a few steps) What are the specific figures? I don't know, but I think there are four hundred ways.
Lang can do it.
Road; (Step back and look up at the ceiling, decisively) OK! I'll give you four hundred francs. But you
We have to make this long skirt look good.
God: the day of the party is coming, but Mrs. Loizai looks depressed, upset and sad. Her clothes are made.
One night, her husband said to her-
Lu: (concerned) What's the matter with you? Look at you these three days. You are very strange. Are you sick?
Horse; (Complaining) I'm poor everywhere. Even if the clothes are ready, I can even use one as a point.
I don't have any jewels. How can I go to the party?
Road; Put some flowers! Don't decorate your chest and shoulders, it's very fashionable this season!
Horse; (No) Among rich girls, such embellishment is nothing, hard and ugly!
Road; (Clap your hands, stand up, be happy) Don't you have a friend named Buddha! Your friendship with her is incomparable.
Ordinary, it is not a problem to borrow some jewelry from her!
Man: Really! Why didn't I think of that?
Act III Lending Chain and Loss Chain
God: Ma told a story and told the Buddha everything, which started all this bad luck.
F: Choose, dear.
Man: (happy) Oh! Thank you so much, Buddha!
Maria looks at this and that in front of the mirror, hesitating, not knowing which to take and which to put. )
Horse; (hesitates) Is there nothing else?
F: Not to mention finding it yourself. I don't know which one suits you.
(The horse jumps up, trembles and hesitates for a moment.)
M: Can you lend me this? I only borrow this one. (picks up a beautiful diamond necklace)
Buddha: (looking contemptuously) Of course.
Man: (ecstatic) Oh! How kind of you! Thank you. Thank you. You are my lucky star.
(Put your arms around Buddha's neck and kiss her affectionately)
Thank you very much! (galloping away)
(Ma attends the banquet)
(Indoor, male guests, female guests. Lu and two male guests were left out in the corner, sleepy and ecstatic, trying to control themselves, and their faces were still noble. All the male guests stopped talking at once and stared at her together. Ma smiled and made an elegant gesture, and soon a male guest came to ask her to dance. )
(Male guests start whispering)
Man 1: Who is that woman?
Man 2: I don't know. She's really beautiful. Let's see who knows her, so that we can introduce her.
Man 3: Miss, may I ask you to dance? (Reaching out and bending down)
Man: Of course!
Ma is very excited to see such a handsome gentleman come to dance. She glanced at the female guests around her. The jealous look on the female guest's face made her very carefree, and she walked to the center with the male guest like a show, dancing and intoxicated ...)
At four o'clock in the morning, the dance is over. )
(Lu puts a simple and plain dress over his shoulder)
M: (coldly) I don't want to wear this dress! (pulls down his clothes)
Lu: You'll catch cold if you don't wear clothes.
The horse still pulls down his clothes and walks to the door alone, regardless of his husband. )
Road; Wait, mom, you'll catch cold outside! I'll call a carriage. (leave)
Hey, the carriage-
(Take your time with the broken carriage)
Lu: Driver, hurry up. (to the horse) I have to go to the Ministry at ten o'clock.
(The driver answers)
M: Ah-ah-ah! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Road; What is it! !
M: (terrified) I'm .....................................................................................................................................................................! ! ! Oh! Oh, my God! ! What to do! ! ! !
What? ..... What's the matter! ! ..................................................................................................................................................................................！ ! Come on, look for it!
They searched in the folds of long skirts and coats, in all pockets, but they didn't find it. )
Lu: Are you sure it was still there when you left the dance?
M: (Confirmed in horror) Yes, I even touched it in the corridor of the Ministry of Education!
Lu: I must have left it in the car!
M: Yes, probably. Do you remember the car number?
Lu: (decadent) No! ! !
(They look at each other in panic. Finally, Loire dressed again. )
Road; You go back first. Go back quickly. I'll go. Let's go this way again and see if we can find it.
(at home)
It's about seven o'clock. You look depressed. )
What happened?
Lu: No, I haven't found it yet. I have been to the police station and looked for all the car dealers. I've looked everywhere where there is a glimmer of hope. (Silence)
M: God, why, why do you fool me like this!
Road; (Calm but a little stiff) It's time to write to a friend and say that you broke the hook of the necklace and are repairing it. this is
So we have time to turn around.
(The horse can't stop nodding, write a letter quickly)
The fourth act is the repayment chain.
Lu: (depressed) It's been a week, and there is no hope (pause). It's time to try to make up for this jewelry.
M: Yes (take out the fertilized egg). Let's go to the jewelry store according to the sign on the box.
(in the shop)
Boss: Madam, I didn't sell this necklace. I only sold this box.
Really? What shall we do, boss? Is there a shop selling this kind of necklace near here?
Boss: Yes. Let me see (after a while). There is one in a shop on Palace Street.
(coming to the store)
M: (looking at the necklace in surprise) Yes, this is it.
Lu: Boss, can this necklace be cheaper?
B: Oh, sir, as you know, we are also in a small business, and we won't talk much, but if you really want it, I'll give you a 10% discount. How about 36 thousand?
Lu: (A bolt from the blue. Boss, it's a deal, but you mustn't just sell it, at least for three days. If we find the lost rope in three days, can you recycle it?
Sure, but the price.
M: How about that?
B: Let me tell you something, the deal is 34,000.
Lu: (surprised. Grit your teeth) That's it!
(On the road)
Lu: Go back first and take out the 18,000 francs my father left me. Then I'll borrow it from relatives and friends.
God: So Roy began to borrow from the east and borrow from the west. He asked many people for help, borrowing 1000 francs from this one and 500 francs from that one. (Loi planted money borrowed by others. He borrowed money from loan sharks and people of different nationalities and signed many contracts. He can't take care of life for the rest of his life. My poor child, his future troubles will weigh heavily on him with cruel danger and physical pain. Finally, he got the necklace.
(Ma talks about Buddhism)
Buddha: (looking unhappy and dissatisfied) You should return it to me earlier. Maybe I used it a long time ago. (Handing the box aside) It's getting late, and you should go back to rest. I think you look haggard.
Act 5 Meet in the park
God: From now on, this poor woman will try to pay off that terrible debt. She scrubbed cups and plates, and rubbed her pink fingers around the greasy sides and bottom of the pot. Every morning, she carries garbage from upstairs to the street, and then carries water from downstairs to upstairs. She works for the proprietress of a small shop. She has neglected her dignity and inner vanity. The couple pay off some old debts every month and then borrow some new ones.
In this way, ten years later, the debt was paid off, all paid off.
Boss: This is your salary today. You can get off work.
M: Yes, thank you very much (took the money and left)
M: (mumbling) Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, so we might as well take a walk in the park and relax.
(coming to the park)
Man: (surprised to see a woman coming, a Buddha)
(hesitating, talking to himself) Do you want to go up and say hello to her?
(Step forward) Hello, Jenny!
Buddha: (surprised, paused for a moment) but ... madam ... I don't know, you must be mistaken. (Talking while walking)
M: That's right. I'm Mathilde. I can only rely on myself.
F: Ah (screaming) My poor Mathilde, how did you become like this?
Man: (sighs) Yes, it's been years. I've suffered a lot over the years ... all because of you.
F: Is it because of me? How do you say this?
You must remember the necklace you lent me! I wore it to the night party of the Ministry of Education.
F: Yes, why?
M: Anyway, I lost it.
F: No, didn't you return it to me?
M: I gave you another hanger, which is exactly the same as yours. You see, Lu Zi and I spent ten years paying the due price. You know, it's not easy for people like us who have nothing!
But I'm glad it's finally over.
F: (Stop) Do you mean that you bought a diamond necklace to make it up to me?
Yes, didn't you see it then? Exactly the same. (naive and smug smile)
Buddha: Alas, my poor Mathilde! But, but (grabs her hand), but my pendant is fake, and it's worth 500 francs at most! ……
