But Yang Zheng's identity didn't allow him not to answer, so he had to stand up very reluctantly, clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, today happens to be the first day of the fifth month?" ”

"The first day of May?" Yang Zheng muttered a few words, and suddenly his mind moved, and said: "On the first day of the fifth month, history records that May is not the time when Mingrenzong died, could it be that this girl was really assassinated?" “

Thinking of this possibility, Yang Zheng was taken aback, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu's luck is not so bad, will he be assassinated as a prince?" ”

Yang Shiqi answered, and couldn't wait to prick up his ears to listen, and after a while, the iron clothes on the stage had already sung [Marigold] a laugh to relieve sorrow, and a sour poet. Xiu Qiangbo Baling Bridge stepped on the snow to find plum guests, that is, Ziyou visited Dai, and dared to freeze back. Let's cook calendula wine here, fragrant jade cheeks; Isn't it as strong as in the deep snow in the front village, and a branch opened ...... last night? “

The voice was tactful, and it was indescribably comfortable in his ears, Yang Shiqi shook his head and said in his heart: "I can't imagine that in this small post house, someone can sing this little song so well?" Although he missed most of the front, the general content of the song of "Tears of Green Shirts" is also clear, saying that he was a servant of the Ministry of Officials when Tang Xianzong was a servant, and he and his friends Jia Dao and Meng Haoran visited Pei Xingnu, a famous prostitute in Chang'an. Xingnu is quite talented, especially good at pipa, she values Bai Juyi's talent, has close contacts with him, and is willing to trust him for life. Later, Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima because of the incident, and made an appointment with Xingnu to marry her when he left. There was a Jiangxi tea merchant named Liu Yi who heard that Xingnu was beautiful and wanted to marry her, but the bustard's mother was greedy for money and persuaded Xingnu to marry Liu Yi, and Xingnu resolutely waited for Bai Juyi. The bustard's mother conspired with Liu Yi and deceived Xingnu that Bai Juyi was dead, and Liu Yi took the opportunity to marry Pei Xingnu. Liu Yi and Xingnu stayed in Jiangzhou at night, Xingnu knew that this was Bai Juyi's office, and plucked the pipa under the moon to express his sorrows, and it happened that Bai Juyi and his friend Yuan Zhi were boating in the river, and when they heard the sound of the pipa and suspected that Xingnu was playing, they went on the boat to visit. Pei Xingnu cried and complained about the reason, Bai Juyi sighed with emotion, and wrote a long poem "Pipa Xing". While Liu Yi was drunk and lying, Yuan Zhi asked Bai Juyi to return by boat with Xingnu, and returned to Beijing by interview, understanding that Juyi's crime was forgivable, and playing Liu Yi to deceive Pei Xingnu into making a false letter. The emperor issued an edict, Bai Juyi was reinstated as a waiter, Xingnu returned to Bai Juyi, and Liu Yi was punished.

Yang Shiqi already liked Ma Zhiyuan's songs, and the more he listened to them, the more satisfied he became, and he almost didn't applaud immediately.

On the contrary, the pavilion man squinted at Yang Zheng, and saw that Yang Zheng was only staring at Tie Xiaodie, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, although he was the director of the Jiangnan Post House, which sounded good, but he was a petty official who was not in the stream, in charge of daily affairs management, reporting and communication, material transfer and reception of guests, etc., and the hall for guests, messengers, and rest, he was the main manager of the post house, and there were hundreds of people in the hands of the prosperous place, looking very majestic, but he was not happy, and he had been looking for a chance to climb up, but he had never had a chance, Now God has given himself a great opportunity to let the prince live in the post house, if he takes the opportunity to make up this good thing today, so that the prince is comfortable, and the prince will be enthroned as the emperor on another day, and I will be able to lose the benefits of it, thinking about this possibility, my heart is more and more happy for my actions yesterday.

This iron coat came to the post house yesterday to take refuge, and when he said that he wanted to be a singer, he was a little hesitant, if he didn't see her beautiful and outstanding, her appearance was still petite and lovely, and she could play a good tune, and her singing voice was not bad, so he really didn't agree, and now he saw the prince's eyes constantly lingering on his body, and secretly screamed luck.

At this time, Tie Yi finished singing the third fold and began to enter the fourth fold, this fold was more sad than the previous three folds, everyone was worried that Tie Yi was young and could not understand the sorrow at all, this fold must not be as good as the previous three folds, but after listening to the [Welcoming Cyclamen] rude law, the woman's family, the mountain call really won't him. I only bowed my head tightly, knelt down busily, and wished my majesty a lot of tolerance, and listened to the concubines say a set of sad words. When these few words, the singing voice was sad, and at the end of the singing, tears flowed like rain, so not sad, the sad meaning was very realistic, so that the spectators on the field were really surprised, and they all shouted good.

Only Yang Zheng's expression remained unchanged on the field, no matter how bad the fate of the famous prostitute Pei Xingnu in "Jiangzhou Sima Qingshan Tears" was, compared to the misfortune of the Tie family, it was not at the same level at all, as he said that Tie Xiaodie sang about the tragic life of the famous prostitute Pei Xingnu, it was better to sing about his own desolation, so this sad meaning could not be more true.

The pavilion man saw that Yang Zheng was unmoved, but his eyes were staring at Tie Xiaodie, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny: "This prince is a lustful master, such a moving tune, he actually turned a deaf ear, but he was so obsessed with a few Qinglou women, this emperor's mind is really strange?" ”

Yang Shiqi couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was just staring at the woman on the stage, and said: "This woman is beautiful and refined, and her appearance is not bad, it is rare to sing a good song, and it is not bad to stay by your side and serve?" ”

The atmosphere in the early Ming Dynasty was not very conservative, and it was not a shame for the literati doctor to talk about the Qinglou, so Yang Shiqi's words did not cause Hu Ying, Chen Wu and others to be surprised, but nodded with a smile.

It's just that in this way, Yang Zheng immediately looked a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Lord Yang misunderstood, Gu today is just the first time to see this woman, but I just think this woman is a little familiar?" Therefore, it is just a few more glances, not ——? “

Yang Shiqi smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This little brother Yang is still playing this kind of trick, isn't this self-deception?" Such a beauty, doesn't that man look familiar? ”

Hu Ying and the others let out an "oh", their expressions were full of ambiguity, as if Yang Zheng said this, which explained more and more the thoughts in his heart.

Yang Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, the more he tried to explain this kind of thing, the more he couldn't explain it, the best thing to do was not to explain. Glancing at Tie Xiaodie on the stage, she picked up her glass and said, "Come, come, it's rare to have good food and wine, and such a beautiful little song, adults, let's drink this glass, right?" “

"I think there's a beautiful woman, right?" When everyone raised their glasses, they smiled knowingly.

Yang Zheng didn't say anything, only not much, after singing a song on the field, the women who had stayed returned to the stage, these women were the children of some criminal ministers, and they were considered to be everyone's ladies at home on weekdays, and they had to become singing and dancing women when they arrived at the Teaching Workshop Division, but their appearance and figure were still there, and they were even more charming than when they were all girls.

Yang Zheng and the others had a few glasses of medicinal wine, and everyone's eyes looked at the woman's lotus arms stretched, the twisting waist, the slender jade legs, and the twin peaks looming in the green clothes, and their eyes were no longer as pure as they were at the beginning, even the eldest Hu Ying's eyes were burning at this moment.

It's just that these women are all women from the Teaching Workshop Division, plus they are all high-ranking officials of the first and second grades of the imperial court, in such a scene, their eyes are too hot, and they can't help but lose their physique, so everyone's hearts are hot, but their faces are dignified, and even the burning in their eyes is well hidden.

Yang Zheng saw it in his eyes and secretly felt funny: "Sure enough, he is well-dressed, polite, and admirable?" “

There are singing and dancing to help the fun, everyone is not too cold, began to say something that is not painful, seeing that the atmosphere is not very cheerful, Hu Ying in Yongle five years since the order of Zhu Di for fourteen consecutive years in the secret visit to the Jianwen Emperor traces, secretly visited a lot of places, since the most extensive of the people, at this time I don't know why I remembered an interesting story I heard a few years ago, looked at the looks of everyone, felt that it was necessary to activate the atmosphere, so he coughed twice, and said politely: "The old man has been to a lot of places a few years ago, I've also heard a lot of funny jokes, it's rare that His Royal Highness and all of you are here today, and the lower officials volunteered to say a joke, okay? ”

It is not an unseemly thing for literati to say some interesting jokes, in fact, it was very popular in the atmosphere at that time, so as soon as Yang Shiqi and others heard about the joke, they became interested, Yang Shiqi stroked his palms and smiled: "This official hasn't heard a joke for a long time, it's rare that Master Hu still has this Yaxing, it's the best?" ”

The others nodded in agreement.

Hu Ying picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of medicinal wine, thought for a while and said: "A few years ago, there was a private school teacher who taught students to read "University", first read Zhu Xi's "University Chapter and Sentence Order", and read a broken sentence [broken sentence] refers to reading or breaking in a place that is not a sentence. "The book of the university, the law of the ancient university to teach people" is also read as "the university of the ancient, the ancient of the university, the university to teach the ,......". Let the king of Hades know, and tell the little ghost to hook him, and say, "You love the word 'zhi' so much, I will punish you to be a pig in the next life." The man was leaving, and said, "You have made me a pig, and I dare not disobey, but I have a request: let me be born in the south." When Hades asked him why, he said, "In the book The Mean, it says, 'The pig of the south is stronger than the pig of the north.'" As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed out loud, Yang Zheng's ancient literary skills are not good, and he didn't understand for a while, Chen Wu on the side glanced at him, and reminded him carefully, he gave birth to a look of sudden realization, this paragraph said that the biggest laugh is the etiquette of the ancient text, according to: The original text of "The Mean" is: Zi Lu asked Qiang, Zi said: "The strong of the south? The power of the North? Or is it strong? It is the use of the word "zhi" to harmonize the word "pig", which is the phonetic of some Wu dialects, and it will not cause people to laugh in other regions.
