This chapter is the sea of tears, the two inks are connected, and the red fire road is added to the king, thanks to the three brothers for their rewards and monthly passes. Ayong thank you!

……………………………………………………………………………………

Li Bao thinks so, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't accept it, after all, there is a very cultured, well-written girl, admires my brother, as for whether she looks good or not, let's say it another way, it's a big deal to see the light and die.

Li Bao's ** silk mentality can be seen from this, but it is not a bad thing to make more friends, so he plans to develop this pen pal.

Ling'er saw Li Bao holding a letter that was obviously written by a woman in a daze, and her heart was slightly sour, but she also knew that she was a maid and had no right to ask Lang Jun, but the depression in her heart was difficult to dissipate.

Li Bao folded the letter and put it away, and then said to Liang Hongmei that he would give the clerk a gift on the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow.

When Liang Hongmei heard this, she knew that Lang Jun was really kind-hearted and considerate to his subordinates and buddies, so she agreed with a smile.

Now that the matter here has been completed, he plans to return to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and after coming out for a long time, it is time to go back.

Li Bao then instructed Hu Sanbao to go to Weiyangzi often to contact, and now it is inconvenient for him to come and go at will in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, so he can only hand it over to Hu Sanbao to run around.

Li Bao said home, Liang Hongmei called a few stewards to see Li Bao off, and asked the steward to express his gratitude to Li Bao on behalf of all the clerks.

Bidding farewell to Liang Hongmei, the three of them sat in the carriage, Li Bao was very excited, this pen pal who had never met before, couldn't help but think in his heart, what kind of little lady is it?

Liang Hongmei said that every time she goes to the beautiful girl, she wears a neck-length hat, and now few women in the Tang Dynasty will wear the outfit of the early Tang Dynasty, Li Bao guessed in his heart that this little lady is either more beautiful than Xi Shi, or ugly and unsalted, but there is also a possibility that she has a marriage contract, because she does not want to show her face too much in front of outsiders.

Thinking of a young lady who has a marriage contract and still has a good impression of her brother, doesn't this mean that her brother's charm can't be resisted? Thinking of this, the smile on Li Bao's face naturally bloomed.

Ling'er sat in the car, saw Li Bao smirking alone again, and guessed in her heart that Lang Jun must be thinking about something bad, needless to say that she just got a woman's letter in Meiyaya, although she didn't know what the content was, Ling'er also knew that it must not be a good thing, otherwise Lang Jun would be like this?

Li Bao, who was immersed in yy, naturally couldn't pay attention to the lonely Ling'er, and in the sparkling sound of the carriage, the master and servant were immersed in their own hearts and couldn't extricate themselves.

Back at the Sixteen Prince's Mansion, Li Bao wrote hard and wrote a reply letter to his sister-in-law, to the effect that the sister wanted to make friends with her brother, the sister-in-law was old, but there was a marriage match (this is what **silk is most concerned about), what ideals did he have, etc., and Li Bao wrote thousands of words.

Later, I thought about it if I was too active, would it make my sister feel that my brother was not reserved, and besides, my brother's charm had already moved her, and she couldn't be too active, too active would expose the essence of her brother's silk, and she should be a little reserved, so King Li Bao put down the written letter first, and waited until the future to send it.

Li Bao picked up the pen, then thought for a while, and then put down the pen and wrote: Since the little lady intends to intersect, Bao will not refuse people thousands of miles away. Monthly punctual exchange of letters, yes.

In this short paragraph, Li Bao insisted on using all the skills he had practiced calligraphy in the past few years, picked up that kind of paper, admired it for a long time, and then he was full of ambition and put the envelope into the envelope. I plan to let Hu Sanbao send it to Meiya in a few days and hand it over to the unknown pen pal.

After dealing with the pen pal matter, Li Bao put his mind on the finishing work of Yang Xuanyi's case, and called Hu Sanbao to introduce the latest situation.

Hu Sanbao immediately replied to the latest news: Yang Xuanyi's father and son had been beheaded a few days ago, and when the news reached Pinglu Town, Yang Fuguang was not abnormal. Tian Jing and Rong Niang, who participated in the poisoning plot to kill Li Bao, have also been executed by Ling Chi, and their families have also been killed.

Now that this matter is over, Li Bao is not concerned, and the next thing is to focus on his own work as a pear garden envoy.

On the night of Li Bao's performance of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands", when Li Ying sang "Daughter's Love", Li Bao used the dance form of white screen projection, so he planned to develop a court version of the shadow puppet show.

Shadow puppetry originated in the Warring States Period, flourished in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Yuan Dynasty, and later slowly spread to Europe through land and sea shadow puppetry, and there was an allusion to shadow puppetry in the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved his concubine Mrs. Li and passed away, and Emperor Wu's thoughts were in a trance, and he ignored the government all day long. Minister Li Shaoweng went out one day, and met children playing with rag dolls on the road, and the shadows were reflected vividly on the ground.

Taoist priest Li Shaoweng's heart moved, and he cut the image of Mrs. Li with cotton silk, painted it with color, and installed wooden poles on his hands and feet. At night, the emperor was invited to sit in the tent and watch. Emperor Wu looked at Long Yan Dayue and couldn't put it down.

Nowadays, this shadow puppet show is still a local folk opera, and it cannot be elegant. But in this era when all kinds of entertainment are scarce, this kind of drama form with scenes and plots is definitely more fun than monotonous military dramas and swaying girls [1].

Li Bao has now finished writing the story of "Journey to the West" to Li Yi. Li Yi also thought it was very interesting after reading it, but there was still a big difference between what some things were on paper and what they saw in their eyes.

So Li Bao plans to use shadow puppetry to interpret the plot of "Journey to the West", which will definitely open Li Yi's eyes, and shadow puppetry can also interpret other allusions or legendary stories.

As for singing, Li Bao doesn't have to worry, isn't there still Li Keji, a big expert. Li Keji is the best at acting in military dramas, and he is a famous "dolphin voice" in the Tang Dynasty, singing and trembling.

When Li Bao was appointed as the envoy of Liyuan, he got Liu Jixin, and Li Bao arranged for Huangshan to go to Longxi, where shadow puppetry was more popular at this time, to find shadow puppet artists. and asked him to make shadow puppets according to the script he was given, and now it's been more than three months, and I don't know how this guy is doing.

The next day, Li Bao asked Huang Donkey to summon Huangshan to the residence of King Ji, and Huangshan got the news and immediately rushed to King Ji's house.

Came to the palace, Huang Shan looked happy, and immediately bowed to Li Bao, Li Bao did not stop him, he finished the salute, and then sat on the low board with half of his ass and listened to Li Bao's questioning.

"How's the preparation for that shadow puppet show now? Adults always want to see new shows, so let's make what adults say our first priority! ”

"Please rest assured, the slave and maid have always kept the king's words in mind, but they are more effective than the edicts of the officials. It's just that it takes two months for this shadow puppet character to be made from production, and then the plot is rehearsed, and those artists are training day and night, but now they are still a little lacking in lyrics. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already agreed with General Li Kehe, and I'll go to the Sect Division to guide the geisha in the next two days. And the production of shadow puppets must not stop, now is the pioneering season, I will sort out the plot and hand it over to you, if there are any difficulties, tell me, I will solve them. ”

"With the king's words, the slave and maid are relieved, there is no difficulty now, making shadow puppets is nothing more than making leather and coloring, these are very easy, you can find ready-made artists, but those characters and monsters are not easy to make, because those artists have not seen it, I don't know how to spend it."

When Li Bao heard this, he was indeed negligent, most of these artists are grass leaders in the countryside, and they usually perform legendary stories such as the struggle between Chu and Han and the Three Kingdoms. I don't have a good grasp of a plot like "Journey to the West", and I have no concept.

Li Bao smiled and said: "I'll do this thing, I'll draw a rough picture of these characters, and let them color the rest." And if the number of people is not enough, go to the Hanlin Academy and call all the paintings to be edicted [2]. Do you understand? ”

When Huang Shan heard this, he was so happy that his eyes were almost gone, with such a good leader, what else to say, what difficulties were solved for himself, and the rest of his own work was not good, how could he be worthy of the king's trust and support.

It was Huangshan who knelt on the ground again and said loudly to Li Bao: "The slave and maid have won the trust and support of the king, and the king wants to be in front of the slave and maid in everything, if the slave and maid do not do the things that the king has explained, the slave and the maid will not be a person!" ”

Li Bao smiled and helped Huang Shan up, and said to him: "Follow me to do things, what I value most is loyalty, and then I look at ability." ”

When Huang Shan heard this, regardless of Li Bao's pulling, he knelt down and kowtowed several times in a row, and said: "The most loyal slave in this life is the king, if you violate this oath, you will be told to make the slave and maid hit five thunderbolts in the sky, and you will not die well!" ”

The ancients respected ghosts and gods the most, and Huang Shan swore by this, he was already promising Li Bao to follow Li Bao to the death.

Li Bao soothed Huangshan with kind words, asked him to do his errands well, and at the same time helped him pay attention to the movements in the teaching department, and reported to Li Bao whenever there was any trouble. Huang Shan naturally agreed without a word, and then left with a thousand thanks.

Li Bao sent Huangshan away and went to the study to start painting the character picture of "Journey to the West", which is his magic weapon for fixing his favor, and he must do it with his heart, and it is also an important part of his entertainment industry in Chang'an City.

After a few days, Li Bao finally got three dozen white bone spirits, and most of the character drawings have been drawn, so fast, of course, most of them come from the experience and memory of later generations.

However, Huang Shan and the shadow puppet painter who got the drawings were shocked by Li Bao's talent, and their hearts were even more uplifted, and their admiration and fear of Li Bao also reached the point of no return.

Li Bao naturally wouldn't explain to these people, and there was no need to explain, so he then invited Li Keji to guide the singing and lyrics in the music workshop. Just when he was full of ambition to start his first grand performance at the court, a sudden event happened that completely disrupted his plans.
