There was no musician in the private room, and Li Lou didn't change his costume first. However, her posture and movements are appropriate, and the most important thing is that her eyes are very magical. Her face is covered with heavy makeup, and only her eyes can express the emotions of the opera lines, but her emotions seem to be really lingering with the repertoire and coming from the bottom of her heart.

"I would rather stay lonely and poor, live my youth, and have no man in this life, and if I am not ??,married, I will not be married to my heart, and I will not be married in vain Yan'er in the cave house......" She was singing the lines, and the words were correct and clear. Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xu sat next to the coffee table, admiring intently.

The lyrics of the opera are sung very slowly, and as long as you listen patiently, you can understand the content of the plot. Zhu Gaoxu felt that the content of this play was empty, but fortunately, Li Louxian's acting skills were perfect, and his performance was very infectious. Zhu Gaoxu listened to a lot of opera in the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew some rules of singing, and understood that Li Louxian's fingers, body movements, and accents at this time had rules. It is really not easy to perform under many rules, to be tactful and moving.

After singing a paragraph, Li Lou stopped first, stepped forward and curtled his knees: "The slave family is not talented." ”

Zhu Gaoxu stroked his palms and praised it, then reached into his arms, took out a silver bracelet, and said: "Mrs. Li sings well, don't shirk a small gift." ”

Li Lou had no choice but to take it with both hands and said, "The slave family thanks the saint for his favor." ”

"This is the first batch of silver mined and made in Iwami Ginzan, Japan." Zhu Gaoxu said, and then turned his head and glanced at Shen Xu. The smile in Shen Xu's eyes seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding.

Li Louxian seems to be in a bad mood because of his late husband over the years, and the skin on his hands is also a little old, and his finger bones and tendons are very conspicuous. What Shen Xu said is not bad, but his appearance has declined a lot. However, Zhu Gaoxu did not dislike it at all, because Li Lou was an old acquaintance in Yunnan.

"Please retire from the Holy Quasi-Slave House for a while and rest for a while." Li Lou said first.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement.

When the people went out and closed the door, Shen Xu said softly with some feelings: "The man is really unreliable, and the woman has to rely on herself." After she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and said: "The concubine is saying that she is her first husband, and the saint is still reliable." ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but laugh a few times.

Her cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, and against the backdrop of the dark cyan old air robe, her slightly delicate face made Zhu Gaoxu gradually curious. It's like a piece of warm white jade, falling in the dust, only revealing a corner, which will make people want to take it all out and take a look.

Zhu Gaoxu's mood was a little impulsive, so he stared at her cheeks and neck and admired it. Shen Xu was a little uncomfortable, and reached out and gently pulled the collar.

"Is Baoyan okay in the palace?" Shen Xu suddenly asked.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "I arranged for her to live in Concubine Xian's Palace, Concubine Xian is a very smart person. Isn't Yao Fang the second shopkeeper in Shen Xu Shanggang? The relationship between the Shen family and the Yao family is an alliance, and Concubine Xian will definitely not treat Baoyan badly, let alone make her angry. ”

Shen Xu muttered, "Then I'll rest assured." Bao Yan doesn't like to talk much, but she is also an elf person, she seems to know something? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "She definitely doesn't know about today's incident, and no one knows." ”

"What, what?" Shen Xu looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, and then his eyes flickered and began to avoid.

Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything, nor did he move.

Shen Xu's demeanor seemed to be very entangled, quite hesitant, and his eyes were subtlely unpredictable. After a while, she whispered weakly, "It's really the last time to talk like this, how about it?" ”

…… Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace in the afternoon, bathed and changed his clothes first, and then went to the Xianfei Palace. Today is Yao Ji's turn to sleep, and she is recuperating after giving birth and feeling unwell, so Zhu Gaoxu chose today to go to Shen Xu to talk about "business business".

The spring rain has not stopped, and the palace pavilion seems to be in the fog, which makes this Mu family have a little more leisure. The people who accompanied Zhu Gaoxu were not only the virtuous concubine Yao Ji, but also the concubine Shen Baoyan who lived in this palace.

Zhu Gaoxu first teased his daughter's birthday?? played, and later Yao Ji's maternal relative Qin also came. The Qin family stewed a pigeon soup and brought it into the palace to replenish Yao Ji's body. The time was a coincidence, the Qin family entered the palace twice to see Yao Ji, and met Zhu Gaoxu in the Xianfei Palace.

Nurse Shou?? took it away, and a few people drank tea and ate snacks in the flower hall.

The Qin family should have come to inquire about Yao Fang's news, and she first mentioned Zhu Gaoxu's Japanese concubine Qiuyue: "Concubine Li came from afar, do you know the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Yao Ji suddenly turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and the two glanced at each other.

Yao Ji smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is the wife of the Yao family who is married to Ming Media, why are you worried about doing so much?" ”

But Zhu Gaoxu understood that the Qin family was not worried about his status, but he couldn't see Yao Fang looking for others. Women are not all as open as Yao Ji, sometimes they are difficult to restrain jealousy and possession, even if there is a male superiority and female inferiority system, they can't suppress their nature.

"Just because we are thousands of miles away, I can't help but worry." Qin said, "I heard that Japan is already peaceful, why hasn't he come back, what has he been doing over there for so long?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth and said: "Last time, Sheng Yong's recital was sent back to Beijing, and Yao Fang was mentioned. Yao Fang made a contribution in the campaign against Japan, nothing happened, you don't have to worry, maybe you are about to return to Beijing. ”

Qin leaned forward and said respectfully, "Holy grace." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go take a nap." ”

The Qin family hurriedly said: "It's time for the concubine to leave." ”

Yao Ji said: "It's not easy to come back, why be in such a hurry?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu walked outside the flower hall, and several people also got up and sent to the door. In such weather, he didn't plan to sleep, so he went to Yao Ji's bedroom, found a book, and sat there to kill time.

After a while, someone brought tea in. When Zhu Gaoxu saw it, it turned out to be Shen Baoyan. Bao Yan is silent, very quiet, and beautiful, giving people a feeling of being a little ungrounded.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't quite understand her thoughts, thinking that it was all arranged by the Shen family and the royal family, and she was a little lady who had no choice, and she wouldn't have too many feelings.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was not violent towards the concubines in the palace, neither verbally nor physically harmed them, and the palace was full of fine clothes and food, so it stands to reason that Baoyan would not be too dissatisfied, at most she felt bored.

"Isn't the Holy One going to take a nap?" Shen Baoyan's voice came. In Zhu Gaoxu's mind, some images subconsciously appeared, as if he saw the spring water dripping into the clear and deep mountain pool.

She took the initiative to find a topic, but it was rare. Zhu Gaoxu immediately put down the book in his hand, reached out to pick up the teacup, and smiled gently: "I like to stay with beautiful women, but when several women sit together, I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

Bao Yan said: "Me too." ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What?" ”

Bao Yan said: "I think it's boring. Concubine Xian and Mrs. Yao (Qin's) both wanted to talk to me, but they had nothing to say, and they were very embarrassed. Actually, I know what they mean, because I am a member of the Shen family, and the Shen family has some relationship with the Yao family, and they don't want to snub me. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "After all, it is a good intention. However, Bao Yan is indeed a different woman, and what she says can often surprise people. ”

Bao Yan didn't react and said, "It's not the first time that the Holy Lord has said this. ”

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, and suddenly said, "When you first entered the palace, I seem to have said that it is indeed the truth." ”

Bao Yan shook her head slightly: "In Yunnan." ”

It was many years ago, and Zhu Gaoxu felt that after a long time, he couldn't remember what he had said to a little girl, so he casually asked, "Which time?" ”

Bao Yan said: "When I saw the Holy Lord for the second time, did I forget? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless, not only did he forget what he said, but he also had no impression of where he saw Shen Baoyan for the second time.

Bao Yan glanced at him and reminded, "Han Wangfu." I've only been there once in total, with Shen Manshu. ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't think of it, so he reminded quietly: "Mrs. Shen is your elder, and it is not polite to call her by her name." ”

Baoyan shook her head and said, "She is not, my relationship with her is only about the Shen family's property." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "It's more than that. ”

"Really?" Bao Yan said softly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her bright eyes, and suddenly became a little annoyed. But he immediately felt that there was no need to worry about Bao Yan, she could not affect his authority in the slightest. Zhu Gaoxu simply broke the jar and said in a heartfelt tone: "Everyone wants to embellish their morality and make it look better on the surface, it's not good for you to be like this." ”

Bao Yan said stubbornly: "What does it have to do with morality? ”

Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong with this sentence, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. He looked thoughtful and was silent for a long time.

Bao Yan said again: "The saint pretends to care about me very much, and daring to love is also the 'modification' he said? But it's nothing, just like just now, the Holy One can't remember where he saw me, and the Holy One has seen too many people. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said helplessly: "You don't lack the brocade clothes and food that the palace gave you, but now that it has become such a situation, I know it's not fair to you." But it is difficult for people to escape the torrent of fate, and neither do I. ”

Bao Yan said: "The concubine is very satisfied with the current situation." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was surprised again, just as he has always felt, Baoyan's words are often unexpected. He carefully observed Baoyan's demeanor and eyes, trying to find traces of the young lady's anger and angry words from her face.

But Zhu Gaoxu was disappointed, and there was no anger in Baoyan's clear eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his flat forehead again, and said with a wry smile: "I had a very pleasant conversation with you today, after all, this is the most of our conversations. ”...
