Chapter 423: See the Grandmaster in the Pear Garden

After leaving the palace, Li Mi did not go back to the Yamen of Dali Temple, but came to Cypress Hutong along the way.

People say that there are three thousand and six famous alleys in Beijing, and the unknown alleys are like cow hairs, which is not too much at all, although Li Mi has been in the capital for a few months, but in the end it is the road in his mouth, and he asked all the way to find it.

Of course, Cypress Hutong is very famous in Beijing, because it is the so-called "red light district" in later generations!

However, this red light district is different, because it was originally a place where some famous opera troupes gathered, and then gradually developed into a Fengyue field where high-end green buildings gathered.

The reason why this cypress alley is named is that it is said that there are cypress trees planted in it, but Li Mi did not see a few, but the size of the green building made people feel inexplicably excited.

In fact, what Li Mi didn't know was that after the Qing Dynasty, this cypress alley was renamed Baishun Hutong, which is one of the most famous red light districts in Beijing, "Eight Hutongs"!

After arriving at Cypress Hutong, Li Mi started to inquire from the front, and finally found the Qingfan Building.

Li Mi followed Concubine Wang Gong's instructions this time, took Concubine Wang Gong's token, and came to find someone who could help, but Li Mi couldn't have imagined that this person would hide in this Fengyue Hutong.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Qingfan Building had already begun to prepare for the evening program, so it was very lively.

When Li Mi arrived at the door, there was a teapot guarding the door and smiled at Li Mi: "This master, it hasn't started yet, I want to listen to the play and watch the play, please come back later, if you are tired, you can also rest in our restaurant, let the girls accompany you to relieve your fatigue, and it is good to eat something......

Li Mi looked at the teapot, smiled, took out a small piece of silver, stuffed it into the man's hand, and said to him.

"I'm here to find someone."

The teapot weighed the silver, and said with a smile: "Ye is really bold, I don't know Ye Zun's surname, which girl are you looking for?" ”

Li Mi smiled, shook his head and said, "The surname is Li, not looking for a girl, but looking for Shen Boying and Shen everyone." ”

Hearing this, the teapot's face suddenly turned cold, and he smiled slyly at Li Mi and said, "Master Li, if you are looking for a girl in the restaurant, you can order it casually, but if you want to see everyone Shen, it is not something that silver can do......"

"Since Master Li knows the name of the Shen family, he should know the temperament of the Shen family, if he doesn't want to see you, no matter how much money he has, it will be in vain......

Li Mi heard this but became interested, Wang Gongfei only said that this Shen Jing was originally a court official, a few years ago to ask the emperor to canonize Zhu Changluo as the crown prince and was demoted, and later because of the Shuntianfu Township Examination of the imperial examination fraud, was attacked by others, simply resigned and returned to Li, and recently came to Beijing to visit relatives and friends.

Concubine Wang Gong said that this Shen Jing and Shen Boying are a great master of quyi, famous all over the world, and Li Mi also has some impressions.

Li Mi and Qiu Dong Girl and others are not wandering around aimlessly, in order to familiarize themselves with the environment, Li Mi also searched for a lot of information.

When it comes to quyi, no matter how you can't avoid one person, that is Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty, who can be called a milestone master!

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Li Mi knew that later generations knew a little about quyi, and they may have heard of Tang Xianzu, but in this Ming Dynasty, in this Wanli period, only when it comes to quyi, there is one person who is more famous than Tang Xianzu, and that is this Shen Jing Shen everyone!

Tang Xianzu is still an official in the court, but Li Mi has never had the opportunity to meet this celebrity, which is one of the reasons why he did not return to the yamen, but came directly to Cypress Hutong.

Because he wanted to see what kind of person this Shen Jing was who was even more powerful than Tang Xianzu, and how could he help Concubine Wang Gong!

is clearly just a person who was demoted and eventually had to resign and retire, and those who engage in literature and art are usually not good at officialdom, he has been a white body for several years now, what help can he provide?

Li Mi is the deputy signature of Dali Temple, and there is a secret envoy waist card, Shen Jing can't not sell this face, but Li Mi is not a bully and arrogant person, this is also a respect for others, so he followed the customs, and stuffed a slightly larger piece of silver, and said to the teapot.

"What kind of temperament is everyone Shen, this eldest brother believes that it is the clearest, and I hope that the eldest brother can mention something......"

The teapot got the silver, and he heard Li Mi's well-behaved words, and his heart was quite useful, so he said to Li Mi.

"This master is really a wonderful person, Shen is not a person who loves money, but a person who loves talent, in the past, many rich and powerful people came to visit, Shen everyone is not seen, but some talented shabby young men, but you can talk with Shen everyone very happily, if you show some skills, Shen everyone is favored......"

Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh, although he didn't sing badly, but he just hummed on weekdays, and he didn't have professional training, where can he get it.

Besides, the quyi of this era is not easy to fool, so Li Mi said to the teapot: "Is there any other way?" I didn't want to talk to Shen's parents, I just asked someone to say two words, let me bring them to Shen everyone......"

The teapot frowned, and said to Li Mi: "Master, you should know that the great masters in our pear orchard line pay the most attention to such a tune, and if they only say two words, they will say hello, and they must follow the rules, otherwise they will lose respect......

Li Mi couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to try to say to the teapot: "I have the ability, how can I let everyone Shen know?" ”

The teapot smiled and said: "Shen everyone wants to sing a play at night, right now I just finished hanging my voice, I am in the room to maintain my voice, I will take my master to the backyard, you shout a few voices, if Shen everyone is in your ears, they will call you in, if there is no response, there is no need to force it......"

Li Mixin said that it was okay, when he got to the backyard, where could this teapot stop him, and he would really be sent away by someone when the time came, and he couldn't care about any politeness.

In this way, Li Mi thanked him, and followed the teapot to the backyard, where there were many plays, all of them were innocent young men, but the women were all on the second floor to freshen up, rest, and laugh, waiting for the night to be convenient for picking up customers.

These women don't have too many scruples, and along the way, they are also red, green, and green, and they can see people's hearts.

Li Mi is not bad-looking, and he has a good bearing, many women throw flattering eyes, and even look for Huhula and pull, but they all let the teapot block back.

After the area of this green building, the back is quiet, a small garden looks particularly elegant and chic, birds and flowers, cool and cool.

The teapot took Li Mi to the courtyard, and he glanced at Li Mi, which made Li Mi a little embarrassed, where to break in.

Li Mi thought for a long time before he turned out a song that he often hummed, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he sang a few words in a low voice.

That's "Dream in the Garden" sung by Li Yugang, it is Kunqu Opera, and the author is Tang Xianzu!

Li Mi sings in the Kun dialect, although the pronunciation is not standard, nor is it a round tone, but the tune is tactful, and it can be basically sung in its entirety, and it is thankful that it is not out of tune.

If it weren't for Li Yugang singing, Li Mi wouldn't have been able to learn this garden dream, after all, it is a track in "The Peony Pavilion".

Li Mi didn't have much hope, he just wanted to get a little bit of a side, and Shen Jing would not be able to close the door and disappear.

Moreover, according to Li Mi's understanding, the Wujiang faction represented by Shen Jing is relatively old-fashioned, Shen Jing proposed "harmony and harmony" and "secluded nature", and even compiled the "Southern Nine Palaces Thirteen Tunes Score", as the norm for the children of Liyuan, and Tang Xianzu is the Linchuan faction, advocating talent and encouraging creation, and there have been many arguments and debates between the two.

So Li Mi sang the work of Shen Jing's old rival Tang Xianzu here, even if Shen Jing didn't like it, he was willing to come out and scold himself, right?

The teapot heard Li Mi speak, and he also sighed and shook his head, and without waiting for Li Mi to finish singing, he said to Li Mi: "This master, it seems that we should go......

He is also well-informed, there are too many people who come to visit Shen Jing, and there are many talents, and he has heard it by his ears and eyes, what kind of level Li Mi is, he can also hear it, and it is estimated that it is no fun to see Shen everyone.

Li Mi was also helpless, and was thinking about whether to reveal his official identity, but at this time, there were two dry coughs in the room!

The teapot was also surprised and puzzled, and said to Li Mi: "Master, everyone Shen is going to see you, come in with me!" ”

Li Mi also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that people didn't say that the ancient prostitutes and prostitutes were all at the bottom of the society, and they were very low, why was there such a big shelf?

The teapot knocked on the door, and then said inside: "Shen Ye, outside the door is Li Ye who came to visit......

Li Mi also reported to his home and said: "Uninvited guest Li Mi cheekily visited ......"

As soon as the words fell, a slightly shrill voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and Li Mi followed the teapot in, but he saw a person sitting cross-legged on the couch, wearing a jade-colored loose Hanfu, gray hair, beard washing, white face and straight nose, quite heroic, it should be Shen Jing Shen Boying.

The teapot also retreated, Shen Jing opened his eyes, stood up slowly, but he was wearing clogs, and walked over with a click, glanced up and down at Li Mi, and then asked.

"What do you have to do with Tang Hairuo?"

Although Li Mi didn't know Tang Xianzu's alias Hairuo, it was obvious that he was referring to Tang Xianzu, and he also replied frankly at this time: "It doesn't matter, Li is the deputy signature of Dali Temple, and I came here today to bring two ......sentences to Lord Shen."

Shen Jing had just heard the dream of visiting the garden, how could he believe that Li Mi had nothing to do with Tang Xianzu, and Li Mi reported that his family was a person in the officialdom, so he was suddenly a little displeased.

Because Shen Jing was persecuted by the officialdom and was so disappointed in the officialdom, he finally resigned from the officialdom and fiddled with the music to support his retirement, where do you want to have anything to do with the officialdom!

"Little Lao'er is just a lowly and superior lady in Goolan Vasheri, Master Li, go back."

Li Mi had expected him to be like this, so he didn't be verbose, took out Concubine Wang Gong's token, presented it with both hands, and said in a low voice: "It was Concubine Gong Niangniang who asked me to come, doesn't Lord Shen want to hear what Concubine Gong wants to say?" ”

Shen Jing took the token and looked at it, his face also changed greatly, and he closed the door before saying to Li Mi.

"What did Concubine Gong ask you to say?"

When Concubine Gong told him about Shen Jing's resume, Li Mi also had doubts, how could such a person help Concubine Wang Gong speak again?

But Concubine Wang Gong was full of confidence, and Li Mi saw Shen Jing's resurrection-like eyes at this time, and he could be regarded as understanding.

Anyone who can come out on top in a certain field is a person who can maintain his original intention, Shen Jing is a quyi master who has been delayed by officialdom, but he is a jinshi background, and his officialdom ambitions have not been paid, he is making great achievements in Liyuan, and he will never forget it in his heart.

Since he still has this heart, the next thing will be easy.
