Li Mu really didn't expect that there would be bribery in this year, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, and said: "So, if I bring a box of silver ingots and put them at the door, won't I win safely?" ”

Li Siwen shook his head and said: "No, no, no, if anyone does that, they will be criticized, even if they get an Oiran, they will not be recognized." ”

Li Mu was puzzled: "This is also strange, giving money is considered a bribe, giving food is not counting, who sets the rules?" ”

"Who decides...... I don't know, anyway, when I knew Pingkangfang, I had this rule. In fact, it can't be considered a bribe, just a little food. Big brother, you think, if we live in the south of the city, we have to rush to Pingkangfang at this time, and there are no horses, we have to set off an hour ago, and we just miss the time to eat, it is reasonable to prepare these meals, and there is one family who has done this, and the others must not do it, if we don't do it, won't we suffer a loss? There is not much money in the total, which one of the Qinglou is not a big business, who is worse than a dozen dollars? ”

"That's right." Li Mu nodded, and suddenly thought that his own garden was opened in the first year, and he didn't know if Ergou had any experience.

A short walk forward, you will arrive at the entrance of Reichun-in. Far away, Li Mu looked at the stall, and the second dog was dressed like a turtle and was hanging at the door. Looking at Li Mu and his entourage, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Master Hou, you are here, the platform is finished, our family is the best, nothing worse than the side family, don't worry, this year's Oiran is definitely us!" ”

"We have to respect our opponents, we are in our first year, and everyone has been working for a lifetime, and we can't keep a killer feature." Li Mu glanced at the things prepared by Ergou, frowned, and said, "Why did the soup cakes come out, what is this?" ”

Ergou hurriedly said: "This is the soup cake you eat every time you go to the West Market, the small one has been in their store for three days, so please come here!" Master Hou, this is still invited because of your reputation, and people don't want to come! ”

"Oh," Li Mu suddenly said, "Dare to love the small stalls here, all of them are buyers and sellers in the east and west cities." ”

Ergou nodded violently and said, "Yes, yes, Hou Ye guessed accurately." ”

"Was it like this before?"

"Yes, the villain inquired, and that's it for the previous dynasty."

Li Mu beckoned and said, "You can call someone to go now, pick up a good candied fruit, and buy one hundred and eighty catties." Find a few kind-faced little girls, and when you see a child, you will send candied fruits, first give one for nothing, and then let them exchange it for the flying flower order. ”

Ergou's eyes widened, and he said in a daze: "But Master Hou, children don't have a flying flower order, only adults do!" ”

"Idiot!" Li Mu knocked the second dog on the head and scolded: "Which child can come by himself?" Didn't they all come with their parents? In the past, there were few children in Pingkangfang, but the Shangyuan Festival was different, some came to watch the lights, some came to watch the performances, and I saw several families just now. If you bring your child here, will you give it if he wants to eat preserves? Flying flowers make everyone have it, don't spend money for candied fruit, do you change it? ”

"Oh oh oh-" Ergou suddenly realized and hurriedly went to make arrangements. Li Mu shook his head helplessly, how could the people of Datang be so honest, and when he really had to let him use these tricks, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Big brother, I'm going to the gambling house!" Li Siwen shouted, dragged Dugu Jiu to the gambling house, and Li Mu took his wife and concubine into Lichun Courtyard.

It's lively outside, and it's lively inside. In another half an hour, the show began. Today's theme is song and dance, and Jin Chen is the protagonist, but it can't be just the protagonist. It's usually three performances, and there is a warm-up in front of it, music and dance, and group dance have no protagonist. In the middle is the solo dance of the protagonist, and finally there is a Yuefu propaganda song, some perform the Yuefu songs left over from the Han Dynasty, such as "Zhan Cheng Nan", "Fifteen from the Army", etc., and there are more modern performances, the Wei and Jin dynasties used the old songs of Yuefu to fill in the new words, such as "Peacock Flying Southeast", "Mulan Ci" and so on.

A group dance, a solo dance, a song and dance! Strive to show the strength of the garden in all aspects.

In addition to Jin Chen, there are sixteen girls who participated in the performance tonight. They were all dressing up, and when Li Mu and the others came in, they didn't notice it.

Yinyue, the maid beside Jin Chen, was the first to find Li Mu, and quickly put down the pipa in her hand to salute, Li Mu waved her hand, signaling her not to alarm others, and took Bai Qiaoqiao and others upstairs.

The room in the middle of the second floor, with the windows open, just facing the stage, is also the most suitable height. Li Mu led his wife and concubine to sit down, and Jin Chen and Yinyue went upstairs together. Seeing Li Mu's wife and concubine, Yinyue looked a little nervous, but Jin Chen was not nervous at all, and smiled and gave everyone a blessing.

"Yinyue, I'm sorry for you, let the people here have some snacks, and some of everything." Li Mu put his hand into his arms, exchanged a handful of broken silver from the system, put it in Yinyue's hand, it was six or seven taels, and said: "Don't bother people in vain, look at it, and keep the rest for yourself to buy rouge." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou."

Although Yinyue was a little hostile and even wary of Li Mu in her heart, she was also a little girl after all, and she usually didn't have much pocket money, so she was also happy when she got the money, and went downstairs happily.

Li Mu looked at Jin Chen, who was still standing, and said, "Sit down, you don't have to be restrained, there are no outsiders." ”

Jin Chen looked at Bai Qiaoqiao's face and saw that she didn't have any displeasure, so he sat down. The buttocks are only halfway apart, and the body is sitting straight, and a small detail separates the dignity and inferiority. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't have these things in her heart and didn't notice it, but Wang Ou and Li Zhien both understood, and their perception of Jin Chen suddenly improved a lot, and they smiled one after another.

Li Mu didn't notice it, and asked, "I'm going to perform later, do you have confidence in yourself?" ”

Jin Chen smiled: "I have confidence, but I think in my heart that I can't live up to Lord Hou's expectations, and I want to do better, so that people can't catch up and catch up." Helpless, I have more than enough but I can't do it. Dance, I asked myself that there was no opponent, but the song ...... But I don't know for sure. ”

Li Mu frowned slightly, and said, "But there was a problem with the minor key I asked you to compose, didn't the song be composed?" ”

"It's done." Jin Chen hurriedly said: "The song is composed by Yinyue, this word of Hou Ye, it is also good to compose the music, the words are ninety-five words in double tone, nine sentences and four flat rhymes in the first paragraph, and ten sentences and four flat rhymes in the second paragraph." I just closed the "Water Tune Song", and it didn't take much effort to get it. ”

"Water, water tunes?" Li Mu was a little stunned, the song he copied this time was exactly the "Water Tune Song Head, When Will the Bright Moon Be There" that everyone can memorize in later generations, he deliberately did not mention the name of the word card, only said that this song is called "When is the Bright Moon", but he didn't expect it to involve the word "Water Tune".

Wang Ou heard that Li Mu had another new word, and took over the words and said: "The water tune song was composed by Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang chiseled the Bianhe River, and was self-made when he was in the capital of the Xingjiang River, and the sound rhyme was sad, and it was cited as a famous song at that time. Now many people are singing it, didn't you think about this song when your husband wrote the lyrics? ”

Li Mu secretly said in his heart, Lao Tzu memorized the Song words for the high school entrance examination in his last life, where is there any song. But at this time, he was forced to do this, and for the sake of his old face, he couldn't admit his ignorance, so he made up blindly with his scalp: "This word, it's such a thing." Didn't I rehearse during this time, I often went back and forth to Pingkangfang, passing by a garden, and there was always this song coming out of it, and I felt that they were not singing well, and the words were not good, so I thought about writing a new word by myself, and it was just right to accompany this song. ”

"It turns out that this song is called a water tune song, and it was made by Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty. I really didn't expect that the former Emperor Yang of Sui had a bad reputation, but he was a great talent! ”

Wang Ou said with a smile: "The good or bad of people is also divided into things. Although Emperor Yang became the emperor, he had a bad reputation, but before he became the emperor, he was a good prince who couldn't find mistakes, poetry, books, etiquette and music, all of which were understandable, if not, he couldn't replace his brother as the crown prince, just say that this person is a talented person, but he is not suitable to be an emperor. ”

"Oh-"

Li Mu's "oh" was not over, and someone answered: "What Mrs. Peony said is true, my father-in-law is indeed a great talent, but he is indeed not suitable to be an emperor." He can't control his ambitions, and he has always wanted to achieve great things that have never been done in ancient and modern times, but he can't do it, harming the world and suffering the people. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Li Mu's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted. Fortunately, Wang Ou didn't call her husband just now, otherwise her head would probably have moved at this time.

Everyone also got up to salute Li Shimin, Li Shimin said that he was exempt from courtesy, but his eyes were only staring at Wang Ou, and he couldn't help but come over and stretched out his hand to help.

Wang Ou saw Li Shimin's hand stretched out, and he was displeased in his heart and took two steps back. Li Shimin's hand froze in mid-air, so he was not embarrassed. Li Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Li Shimin's hand and shook it vigorously: "Your Majesty, why are you here, what a coincidence, there is a holiday in the palace today?" ”

Li Shimin shook Li Mu's hand away and hummed, "Can't I rest for two days all year round?" If you can have the Yuan Festival, I won't be able to pass it? ”

Li Mu glanced back and said, "Your Majesty will come alone, the queen ......."

"Where's the future?" When Li Shimin heard the word "queen", his expression immediately froze, and he looked at Wang Ou reluctantly, and whispered: "I heard that Mrs. Peony is here, come and say hello, how can the queen enter such a place of fireworks." ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu said solemnly: "This is not a place for fireworks, it is a serious drama garden. Selling tickets and singing operas is not compatible with Qinglou. ”

"Play?" Li Shimin vaguely remembered that Yuan Tiangang had reported the news, saying that Li Mu had been rehearsing in Lichun Courtyard recently, what was called "Dou E's injustice". But what is it, because the secrecy is very strict, the bad people have not found out.

Hearing Li Mu mention it, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little interested, and said: "What kind of play, what kind of minor tune, all bring it to me to see, let me taste it, although I am not a talent, but I still have a little bit of eyesight." ”

Li Mu naturally didn't dare not agree, so he asked Jin Chen to fetch it. Jin Chen went back to the room and took the script and the original manuscript of "When Will the Bright Moon Be There" written by Li Mu, and then went downstairs to prepare. Li Shimin opened the script, although he had never seen the format, but he recognized the words, took a cursory look, frowned, and said: "Why is this Qizhou assassin so ridiculous, this must be a character from the previous dynasty!" ”

"Hey!" Li Mu poured cold water and said: "Your Majesty, this drama is adapted from the affairs of this dynasty. Didn't you look at that assassin named Zheng Dalu? ”

"Oh," Li Shimin suddenly glanced at Li Mu and said: "You kid is really bad, if anyone offends you, endlessly, it's not enough to fight for tat on the surface, and you still demean others behind your back, I pity them a little." ”

"Your Majesty, you have to speak with your conscience. The ministers and them were originally innocent and hateful, and the enmity was not for His Majesty? Besides, the minister didn't do it behind his back, the minister wrote a joke to scold them, and he didn't block their mouths to prevent them from scolding me. ”

"Gotta get it, I can't talk about you." Li Shimin put the script aside, picked up the original manuscript of "When Will the Bright Moon Be There", only glanced at it, and became serious.

The song of water tune song is very widespread, just like the pop song of Li Mu's previous life, anyone can hum two sentences. Li Shimin is no exception, his Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and she misses her father as a daughter, and often sings this little song.

Seeing this word, Li Shimin subconsciously hummed in his mind. The more I hummed, the more subtle I felt, and I didn't realize that I was reading it.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky. I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight? ”

"I want to go back by the wind, but I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is too cold."

"Dance to figure out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world!"

"Turn to Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? ”

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete."

"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." / "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." ”

The last sentence was read out by Wang Ou and Li Shimin together. When Li Shimin was watching, Wang Ou was also looking at it, and he also read it together in his heart, and when it came to the last sentence, he finally couldn't help but read it out loud.

Li Shimin heard Wang Ou's voice in his ear, looked up at her, and his little heart jumped a few times.

She recited the words with me, and it was still like this, could it be that she also wanted to be with me?

When Wang Ou saw Li Shimin looking over, he immediately turned his head to the side. I was bored in my heart, just now she said her evaluation of Emperor Yang of Sui, but she didn't say anything about Li Shimin. But in fact, Li Shimin is exactly the opposite of Emperor Yang of Sui in her heart. Emperor Yang of Sui is a great talent, but he can't be an emperor. Li Shimin can be an emperor, but he has only this one advantage.

In addition to being qualified as an emperor, Li Shimin is useless in the eyes of Wang Ou.

can't chant poetry, and it's not romantic, Feibai is okay to write, but for a talented woman like Wang Ou, Li Shimin's writing is just ordinary, and it can't be talked about at all. The most important thing is that Li Shimin's personality Wang Ou doesn't like it very much, machismo is self-centered, how can you be happy with such a person?
