Chapter Seventy-Eight: New Officials Take Appointment
Although Li Bao was angry in his heart, he still remained calm on his face, and he didn't blame Liu Jixin for being rude to him. This pear orchard has not been set up since the Xuanzong Dynasty. Moreover, the first pear garden envoy at that time was also a eunuch, since Li Baojin presented "Thousand Hands Guanyin" and was praised by Li Yi and let him be the pear garden envoy, this Liu Jixin must not be happy every day.
The teacher is the number one, and now the official family has suddenly sent an eleven-year-old child to be his top boss, and no one will be happy. But this eunuch dared to be arrogant in front of him, because his godfather Liu Xingshen supported him.
So Li Bao said to Liu Jixin: "In this case, Liu Xiaoenvoy also invites himself to take care of himself, and Bao and Li Jinwu will visit together." I'll bother Liu Xiaoenvoy later. ”
Liu Jixin didn't shirk it, and then said to Huangshan behind him: "Serve Liulangjun well, if you have a bad pool, be careful of your skin!" ”
Huangshan was silent, so he had to promise and send Liu Jixin away. Huang Shan said to Li Bao attentively: "Liulangjun, Li Jinwu also invites me to come with a certain person." I took two nobles to visit the inner teaching workshop. ”
Li Keji is very familiar with this inner teaching workshop, but today he came to accompany Li Bao to take office, so he did not shirk, Li Bao thought of this and cast a grateful look at Li Keji, Li Keji just smiled at Li Bao, which was a response.
"The teaching workshop in our Daming Palace covers an area of six acres, and there are more than a dozen courtyards, and there are two teaching workshops in the light house and Yishan Fang outside the palace. It is divided into nine parts of music, such as Yale, Yunshao, Drumming, Qingle, Driving Stall, Xiong Zhen, Drum Stand, Qiuzi, Hubu, etc., which are divided into different types of music. Huangshan dutifully played the role of a tour guide, taking Li Bao to the teaching department and explaining in detail.
Li Bao learned from Huangshan's introduction that there was more than one teaching workshop. But it's no wonder that he only pretends to be a grandson in this Daming Palace on weekdays, so he doesn't know much about the outside. From the introduction of Huangshan, Li Bao has a good impression of him, and it can be seen that he is very conscientious. So he smiled at Huangshan, which was counted as encouragement.
Hu Sanbao followed behind and said to some female artists in the courtyard: "What are these geisha called?" Last time I was in the Lin De Palace, I heard that some of them shouted 'officials', and some shouted 'insiders'? ”
Huang Shan looked at Hu Sanbao and smiled: "So that the nobles and little brothers know that these geisha are all names based on their grades, for example, ordinary geisha are called 'officials', and only those high-level geisha should be called 'insiders' or 'frontrunners'." It's just because most of them do the finale. ”
Li Bao listened to Huangshan's explanation and said: "Oh, the 'insider' in this sect should be called 'Taizhu' more appropriately. ”
Li Keji listened to it and said curiously: "Why is Liulangjun called it that?" ”
"You think, these 'insiders' are all doing the finale performance, and their status is very important, just like the pillars of building a house, so you can say that those 'insiders' are the pillars of the church, referred to as 'pillars', what do you think of Huang Sanlang?"
Huang Shan looked at Li Bao, and said in his heart that this Liulangjun is really kind, but he is much stronger than that Liu Jiaofang, and he has a straight face all day long, as if everyone owes him money.
And Liulangjun also called himself "Huang Sanlang", and he really regarded himself as a familiar figure. Thinking of Liulangjun, who was favored by the official family, he was so kind to himself, and he felt that his bones were lighter.
Huang Shan said to Li Bao: "Thank you Lang Jun for raising love, I think Lang Jun's title is more vivid." ”
Li Bao said: "Oh, it seems that Huang Sanlang is also an elegant person and knows elegance and customs. ”
Everyone walked for a while and came to a courtyard, Li Bao looked up and saw the signboard of Hu on the courtyard, and remembered that Shi Kang'an, a Hu man who had helped him a few days ago, said to Huangshan: "You are here, please wait a while, I will go in to find an old man." ”
Li Bao pushed the door and entered the courtyard and saw a large number of people in the courtyard. Most of them are Hu people, Li Baoxin said: How can there be so many Hu people in this courtyard.
It turns out that Yizong Li Yi likes dance and music very much, so there are more than 500 musicians in the teaching workshop alone, and there are not a few dancing girls.
The idle dancers in the courtyard were curious when they saw a richly dressed child strolling around the courtyard. There are also dancers who practice dancing without distractions.
Li Bao saw that most of the Hu people in this courtyard were women, and they all had fat waists and buttocks, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing so many Hu women, Li Bao thought to himself, it seems that Shi Kang'an, the Hu man he knows, may not be here, but if he goes out like this, he is afraid that Huang Shan and Li Keji will laugh at him, so he decided to go to a Hu Ji to inquire.
Li Bao saw an orchid not far away, sitting on her stomach on a low lacquered wooden table, writing and drawing. From the side, Li Bao could see how heroic the bust of the orchid attached to the low table was. So he walked to which dancing girl, came to him and asked, "Little lady, I want to inquire about someone." ”
The dancing girl turned her head, and Li Bao saw her face clearly, her skin was very fair, her hair was black, her eyes were deep and blue, her eyelashes were very long, and her facial features were very clear, especially Qiong's nose was high and straight, and her face had European characteristics.
Another characteristic of the European race is that it is not easy to see the age, and Li Bao can only tell that this dancing girl should not be too old.
The dancing girl stood up and saluted Li Baofu, and said, "I don't know who Xiao Langjun wants to find?" ”
The woman's pronunciation was very pure, her voice was soft, and she was also speaking Beijing dialect, which made Li Bao very comfortable, so he smiled and said, "I want to inquire, is there a musician named Shi Kangan here?" ”
When the woman heard that Li Bao was going to inquire about Shi Kang'an, she smiled happily, and Li Bao looked like a spring flower. Hu Ji smiled and showed a neat mouthful of shell teeth, and said to Li Bao: "I don't know what Xiao Langjun is looking for my brother?" ”
When Li Bao heard that this little lady was Shi Kang'an's sister, he was overjoyed, so he said: "Oh, I have an old relationship with that Shi Kang'an, and I came here today just to visit him." I don't know what the name of the little lady is? ”
Hu Ji smiled and said: "The slave family is grateful for the friendship of Xiao Langjun, and the slave family's name is Xinniang." ”
Li Bao listened to it and immediately read it twice: "Xin Niang, Xin Niang is good, good name!" ”
Xin Niang said to Li Bao: "Thank you Xiao Langjun for your compliment, by the way, the slave's brother is still in the backyard, let's go, the slave will take Langjun to find him." ”
Li Bao looked at the Hu girl and said in his heart: In the end, it is a Hu person, not as shy as the Han family's women, and very bold. Li Bao then followed Xin Niang to the backyard.
Li Bao and Xin Niang talked about walking, from Xin Niang's mouth, Li Bao knew that Xin Niang was from the Ministry, and his brother Shi Kangan was from the Ministry. In fact, to put it bluntly, the seat is the difference between a musician and a dancer.
One of the siblings is playing and the other is dancing. But there were two people in the family who worked in the workshop. It can also be seen from this that their family must have been a family of dancers and musicians for generations, and it should be the so-called music family.
Li Bao and Xinniang came to a room in the backyard, and just when they arrived at the door, they heard a quarrel from inside.
