Chapter 204: The Legend of the West Chamber

/p> The little lady dressed as a man looked at the note and said, "Little brother, please redeem this note for him." ”

Younger brother? Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "Forget it." Just now, the little brother also broke things in order to punish the evil and promote the good, so I sat next to me and didn't make a move, so let's clean up the mess. ”

The little lady is also not persistent: "Brother Hong is righteous and squanders money, and the little brother admires it." She paused and said, "There will be a period later, farewell." ”

Zhu Gaoxu also said goodbye to her, turned his head and shouted, "Check out!" ”

He took a look and saw that the two young ladies had gone to the theater inside.

When calculating the money, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to settle with Daming treasure banknotes, after all, it was printed by their family; But at this time, I found out that the Daming treasure banknote in Yunnan Mansion has depreciated to the unusual, and the banknote ratio is actually fifty to one! The advanced banknotes of the Ming Dynasty seem to be about to run out of fun.

Twenty (copper) coins require 1,000 Daming treasure banknotes with a consistent maximum face value! Zhu Gaoxu obviously didn't bring that much, so he had to pay with a silver ingot.

Zhu Gaoxu and the others also walked towards the theater, and as soon as they entered, they were shocked by the scene! It was simply crowded with people, and there were human heads everywhere you looked. The lobby and the upstairs on three sides were already full, and there were still many people standing at the door, and Zhu Gaoxu almost didn't even have a place to stand as soon as he entered the door.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was tall, and he looked at the stage very curiously, but there was an old man standing on it, who was reading white: "The old man's surname is Zheng, and the husband's surname is Cui. Only gave birth to a little girl, the small character Yingying, 19 years old, a needle pointing to a female worker, poetry and books, and the ...... of those who are incompetent"

Although the tone of the opera was different from that of ordinary speech, Zhu Gaoxu still understood, "The husband's surname is Cui...... Little girl and small character warbler", he suddenly laughed: "Isn't this "The Story of the West Chamber"? ”

A man next to him accosted: "This is Lao Dan, Li Lou, the most popular top brand in Yunnan Mansion, has not yet played." We have to find a place to back, and after a while, Li Lou will play first, and we are afraid that we will be overturned and stepped on the ground! ”

"So powerful? I really want to meet that Li Louxian in a while. Zhu Gaoxu said.

The man laughed "sneering", "Brother can't even buy a seat to sit, and you still see Li Louxian?" ”

"Doesn't that mean 'the first to get the moon near the water'?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

The man didn't know why, so he stretched his neck and continued to watch the play.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu saw the two little ladies just now, the little lady dressed as a man had not grown too tall, and was blocked by the person in front of her, and it was useless to put her toes there. She heard Zhu Gaoxu and the others talking, and looked this way.

Zhu Gaoxu squeezed over, according to her self-proclaimed just now, and said, "Little brother likes to watch "The Legend of the West Chamber"? ”

The little lady glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and immediately argued: "Who said I love to watch?" I just want to see Li Lou first! ”

Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses after a while, the story of the West Chamber is a restrictive drama in this era, which will teach bad children, and the little girls from big families can't watch it...... This little girl, Zhu Gaoxu guessed her origin, it may not be simple.

The little lady said again: "I can't see it, forget it!" He didn't come when he asked someone to buy a seat. ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "I have a seat, and I have something to leave today anyway, so it's better to give it to the little brother." ”

"Ah, really? Then how embarrassing ......" The little lady said no, but her eyes were full of expectation. It seems that the little girl likes this play quite a lot.

"Follow me." Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked to the door.

Outside the theater gate, the group saw a middle-aged woman greeting guests. Zhu Gaoxu walked up, took out a post, and said to the woman: "Your wife gave me this post, saying that there is a seat for me, can you take a look?" ”

The middle-aged woman took a look, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and immediately curtsied and saluted, "Your honor, please take the lead." ”

At this moment, the little lady suddenly said, "Huh? Hong Gongzi, I'm afraid you said a fake name for Brother Meng! ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Each other." ”

Xiao Niang was unconvinced: "You didn't ask my name, and I didn't lie to you." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "When you meet and listen to a play, it will be a play, so why bother with things outside the play? ”

The little lady had no choice but to shake her head and smile.

They followed the woman up the stairs to a private room. When I walked in, I saw that the place was protruding a little, like a semi-enclosed balcony. Zhu Gaoxu looked at the stage, although it was diagonally facing the stage, it was very close; It's better than sitting in the front row of the lobby, where you can sit high and don't have to look up.

"Little brother, please." Zhu Gaoxu greeted.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down with the little lady dressed as a man, and Wei Da, Wang Bin, and the little lady in the colorful dress were all standing.

After a while, a few maids came in with teapots and snacks. Then a middle-aged man walked in, hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you Yaxing." Below is Xu Cailiu, the big shopkeeper of the pear orchard, who has seen the son. ”

The big shopkeeper stood there, but Zhu Gaoxu ignored it, he turned his head and asked Xiao Niang: "Do you really want to see Li Louxian?" ”

The little lady looked at Zhu Gaoxu and didn't say anything.

The big shopkeeper Xu Cailiu said something and didn't get a response, but he didn't show any embarrassment, he stood there with a smile, and made a look of listening to Zhu Gaoxu with great interest.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to Xu Cailiu and said, "I'm tired of shopkeeper Xu, when Li Lou is free for a while, please come here and say a few words to my little brother." Don't affect the singing, so many people are waiting. ”

Xu Cailiu clenched his fists and said, "Obey." I won't disturb you Yaxing in the future, you can just order the slaves and maids here if you have something. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

When Xu Cailiu left, Xiao Niang looked Zhu Gaoxu up and down, and tilted her head slightly, "Brother Tai won't be the owner of the pear orchard?" Liyuan is not from the Shen family, your surname is Shen...... It doesn't seem right. ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke: "Could it be that the little brother's surname is Mu?" ”

In an instant, he was really convinced...... Suddenly asked, the little lady didn't change her face, and still sat upright. And the toast lady standing behind her sold her again, and the toast lady was full of consternation.

"Brother Tai, tell me, where do I look like my surname Mu?" The little lady smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Haha, if you don't guess me, I won't guess you." ”

"Why don't we watch the show, I don't want to waste this good seat in vain." The little lady's face was red.

Zhu Gaoxu got up and said, "You guys watch slowly, as I said before, you have to leave first." ”

The two then said goodbye to each other. Zhu Gaoxu and the others walked out of the private room, and someone immediately sent them out. Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to tell people not to send it away, then he glanced at Wang Bin and Wei Da, his eyes stayed on the dark-skinned Wang Bin's face, beckoned and waited for Wang Bin to bow his head, and then whispered: "Commander Wang has to do something small today, staring at that little lady, the play will be dispersed for a while, see where she went." ”

Wang Bin hugged his fists and said: "The things that the son personally explained are not trivial, and the small ones will be done!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, turned around and left the pear orchard.

……

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Han Palace, came to the study in the front hall, and summoned Shi Qianxun to meet.

Most of the civil and military officials in the Han Palace, he has found someone to check the details, like this Qian Xun is a minor official left by the Jianwen Dynasty, and he was originally an official in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

"How many sons does Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, have?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Qian Xun bowed down and immediately replied: "Back to the Han Dynasty, there are four sons. In order, Geng Xuan, the former military governor, Geng Xuan, the rear military governor, Geng Xuan, Shangbao Siqing, and Geng Qi, the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. After the 'Jing Nan', Geng Xuan, Geng Xuan, and Geng Xuan were still officials in Beijing, and Geng Qi did not know where to go. ”

Hearing such a smooth answer, Zhu Gaoxu showed a very satisfied expression, and asked again: "Which family is Geng Hao?" ”

"This ......," Qian Xun pondered for a moment, "the lower officials don't know." ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and Qian Xun said, "The lower official will retire." ”

After a long time, Wang Bin came back and went to the study to meet him. He stepped forward to report: "As expected by the prince, those two little ladies are from Mu Mansion and entered Mu Mansion through the back door. The last general looked at their appearance, and was afraid that they had sneaked out of Mu Mansion. ”

"Oh." Zhu Gaoxu responded, rubbing his hand on his forehead twice, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Wang Bin continued: "The last general followed all the way, and found that there were other people following the last general. The last general was afraid that he would lose the two little girls, so he couldn't find out the man...... Lord Wang, Mu Mansion has found out that we are with their people, does it matter? ”

"It doesn't matter, it just makes Mu Sheng think that I am not good." Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "But the people who follow you are not necessarily from Mufu. ”

Wang Bin looked puzzled and said, "Who will follow the last general?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "How do I know?" But Wang Commander didn't say that they had sneaked out, so they might have hidden it from the people of Mufu. ”

Wang Bin hesitated and nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu was also confused, but these are all trivial matters, and the Geng family can't afford to be a prodigal son, so it doesn't matter.

…… Now Zhu Gaoxu is most puzzled: Why didn't Mu Sheng come to meet? Zhu Gaoxu came to Yunnan as a prince, no matter what, the basic etiquette still needs to be done?

There are three possibilities, one is that Mu Sheng is not in Yunnan at all; The second is that he is really sick; The third is that he pretended to be sick and didn't want to come to see the son of "Yan Rebellion"...... Ready to tear your face and rebel?

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time, and then said, "We have to get a traitorous spy office." I didn't dare to do it in Beijing, because it was aimed at the forces here in Yunnan, and it was originally an errand assigned by my father.

Commander Wang is the brother of this king, and he is the most reliable, and you are also the head of this office...... asked Hou Hai to come over and serve as a steward; There are also the scout brothers who were responsible for investigating the military situation in the original 'Jingnan', and they were all brought in. I will pay it myself with the money of the treasury. ”

Wang Bin hugged his fists and said: "The last general will definitely live up to the prince's cronies!" ”

"Don't be blatant, the name is Wangfu Shouyu Hundred Households." Zhu Gaoxu said.

He thought of it, and the next day he found people in the palace, and quickly set up a "stage" according to the scale of a hundred households.
