写在状纸边上·二虎的面子

2008年3月30日 | 分类: 未分类 | 标签:

《投名状》惟一女角,名唤莲生,自谓出身“扬州瘦马”。按,“瘦马”即雏妓,典出白居易诗“莫养瘦马驹,莫教小妓女”;而在清代,扬州为风月胜地,以此,称“扬州瘦马”,可显出虽是妓女身份,档次却不同流俗。“瘦马”养成,有出外谋生计者,称为“扬帮”(合苏、沪等地,则称“南帮”),所去的地方以通都大邑为多,如首都,如武昌,如广州。然自湘军战胜太平天囯,原本僻处内陆的湖南托了回乡将士的福,省会长沙的经济尤其是饮食娱乐业大为发展,标志性事件除了“无宴不海菜”(谓鲍鱼、燕窝之类)之外,便是城中妓馆自扬州、苏州引进人力资源,狠狠赶了一回“时尚”。即此可见“扬州瘦马”的崇高地位。只可惜剧中人的妆饰、表演,阨于导演的规划,太过憨朴,适如王韬论“北帮”(指清末京、津一带的妓女)所说:“实事求是,悃愊无华”(《燕台评春录》)——译作当时行话,则是“床笫外无技能,偎抱外无酬酢”(《清稗类钞》)也。遂致南北倒置,“歪曲”了历史,可叹。
又据金天羽、张相文为张文祥作的传记(分见《天放楼续文言》、《南园丛稿》),并未明指曹二虎之妻出身妓籍。按,张文祥是历史人物,对应的剧中人是姜午阳;他与曹二虎、马新贻(即庞青雲)结拜兄弟,排行老三。当然,曹妻与庞青雲通奸的剧情,则未歪曲“历史”——也有一些记载说文祥“刺马”并非为兄弟报仇,而另有原因。只是,传记所载通奸的经过与电影不同。今谨综合金、张的记述,对这桩风化事件作一个说明。
当新贻落难之时,并没机会见到虎嫂。虎嫂初见新贻,实在新贻成功策反二虎、文祥之後。其时,新贻任安徽布政使,已解散了山字营,二虎随他赴任,并将家眷接到省城,暂时寄居新贻的官署。据云:“新贻官既贵,渐耻与贼相伯仲”;也就是说,人一阔,脸就变。文祥敏感,发见马哥情意转淡,即欲离去,并劝二虎一块儿走。二虎迟钝,犹疑不决。文祥不忍抛下这个傻兄弟,只好留下与他一起耗着。怎奈新贻对兄弟的情意淡,对兄弟老婆的情意很浓,于是,“迫(虎妻)而私之”,且时不时借着公务令二虎出差,以便与虎妻通奸,“俨然同媵妾矣”。日久天长,奸情为文祥发觉,他尚未如剧中那么鲁莽,径直杀了嫂子,而是向二虎举报。二虎初闻犹不信,待到跟踪了几回,才认领这顶绿帽,然又胆小,不敢直斥新贻不讲义气,只能独个儿生闷气。文祥开导他,说,别郁闷了,这还算是你老婆么?既然奸夫淫妇情投意合,“不如弃之”,咱哥俩早日离开这个是非之地,走为上罢。二虎同意了,但不知哪根筋不对,却“迁延不即行”。孰知本夫能忍,奸夫却不能忍,一日,新贻借口二虎通匪,将他“就地正法”,旋将虎妻收为姨太太。文祥听得兄弟惨死,偷偷将他葬了,“痛哭别去”,自此,隐姓埋名,“锻精铁为匕首,日夜砺之,淬以药,誓必剚刃新贻”。终于同治九年七月二十六日,在南京将已升任两江总督的新贻刺死。此後,虎妻在马公馆自杀,其家秘不发丧,将尸体埋在後花园。
此与剧中午阳先杀莲生、二虎至死不知老婆偷人,大有出入。然清代官书记叙新贻之死,并未言及新贻勾引人妻,只说文祥在浙江交通海盗,因新贻主持捕盗,弄的他家破妻逃,“以是挟仇”,遂“丧心病狂”刺杀总督(《清史稿》)。电影与官书,在这一点上,倒是异曲同工,照顾了二虎的面子。泉下有知,二虎或应讲一句,谢谢包涵。

    Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
