I haven't seen Sima Xuan'er for a few months, at this time her face has faded a little green, but on the contrary, she has a bit of mature and generous charm, when Liu Yu saw the bun on her head, she was a little disappointed, and the smile on her face stiffened.

Married?

Sui Yi saw Yingying Yanyan with a little surprise on his face, he had come to the workshop to have fun. At this time, when I saw a guest in the dance hall, most of them hurriedly retreated, and Aunt Xuan also walked over with Sima Xuan'er.

"Say hello to Master Hou." Aunt Xuan still had a calm and peaceful face, and walked over to give Liu Yu a salute, and Sima Xuan'er on the side also bowed, it seemed that she was indeed more feminine than before.

Liu Yue smiled indifferently as a return gift, at this time, Yu Mo, the old eunuch of the young eunuch of the song and dance workshop, never came to receive him, Sui Yi pulled Yu Mo to explain, and asked Yu Mo to prepare the venue for the banquet and the song and dance performance, this was originally Sui Yi's home field, and now Sui Yi has just won the battle and may be crowned a marquis at any time, Yu Mo dare to offend, and listened to Sui Yi's orders very politely.

Liu Yu glanced at Sui Yi, his eyes fell back, and Aunt Xuan smiled: "It was ordered by the palace to rehearse just now, and the song and dance prepared for the queen's birthday at the end of this month, can Master Hou make a comment?" ”

Liu Yu doesn't know when Queen Sun Xiaoyu's birthday is, but now Sun Xiaoyu is pregnant, and she is likely to give birth to a prince for the royal family, and she should be courteous. But Liu Yu still has some prejudices against Sun Xiaoyu, Sun Xiaoyu is virtuous, but lacks the ability to assist the emperor, at most she is a woman behind Su Yan's scenes, which is very different from Su Yan's mother.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Aunt Xuan is polite, just call her name, and she should not be called Hou Ye." ”

"Liu Gongzi is polite." Aunt Xuan didn't insist anymore. Pursed lips and smiled. glanced at Sima Xuan'er, who had been silent. said with a smile, "The concubine still has something to arrange, so I won't accompany you for the time being." ”

Aunt Xuan knew each other very well, and she had already guessed "what" between Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er, and chose to avoid it.

When Aunt Xuan left, only Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er were left, and Sima Xuan'er looked even more cramped and seemed to be at a loss.

"Miss Sima has already promised to be married?"

Sima Xuan'er was slightly stunned. At the same time, she also glanced at Liu Yu, and at this time she calmed down a little: "Don't misunderstand, it is the mother and aunt of the little woman, and Zhang Luo always wants to choose a husband for the little girl, so the little woman combs her hair, and does not let the third aunt and six mothers-in-law Zhang Luo for this." ”

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "I see." ”

Liu Yu chatted with Sima Xuan'er for a few words, mainly asking Sima Xuan'er about her life in Chang'an City in the past few months. After receiving Liu Yu's help, Sima Xuan'er has moved from the front of the stage to the backstage, so that she can continue to pursue her dream of dancing, and more importantly, train new dancers for the singing and dancing workshop. Passing on the singing and dancing business.

Saying this, Sui Yi almost hit his head. said excitedly: "Hey, Brother Liu, you don't know what to do, recently there is a new batch of daughters of prisoners in the singing and dancing workshop, that is really more beautiful than one another, one is more beautiful than the other, do you want to go in and have a look?" Ha Lu Ha. ”

In front of Sima Xuan'er, Sui Yi did not shy away from speaking, Sima Xuan'er bowed her head slightly, and listened to it as if she didn't hear it.

Liu Yu asked: "Why are there so many daughters of criminals in the song and dance workshop?" ”

"I don't know how to do this." Sui Yi said, "It may be that there have been more officials who have committed crimes recently." ”

Sui Yi and Liu Yu went on the expedition, both of them had not been in Chang'an for a long time, and they were a little lonely about some things in Chang'an City, but Liu Yu received the news from Chang'an City in advance. In the past few months, the new emperor has rectified the officialdom of the cities in Guanzhong, mainly making a fuss about last year's great drought and chaos, and as long as the counties and counties that were unfavorable in disaster relief and rebellion were not spared, from the county guard down to the county lieutenant. It is tantamount to purging the officials of various counties and counties in Guanzhong, and this prison disaster also caused Guanzhong to fall into chaos for a while.

After Su Yan took over power, after driving out the troops of Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu's garrison Guanzhong, the officialdom also needed to be cleaned up once to complete the reign of a prince and a courtier. It is also in this context that there are many criminal women who have been assigned to music status, Guanzhong is already a rich place, and the official family basically raises singers and dancers, and their appearance and talent are not bad.

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Let's go in and have a look, Miss Sima, but can you introduce us to it?" ”

To say that Liu Yu's request is already very excessive, after all, Sima Xuan'er is a good family, that is, commonly known as a woman from a good family, she is just getting an errand in the singing and dancing workshop, this errand is already very disgraceful, and now Liu Yu actually asked her to go in to help introduce the dancers, which is no different from choosing a dancer.

However, Sima Xuan'er did not show any displeasure, but nodded with a light smile: "The little girl is willing to introduce her son." ”

Yu Mo is the young eunuch of the singing and dancing workshop, that is, the highest steward here, the official of Taichang Temple, and basically has nothing to do with the officials of the imperial court. Although Yu Mo is a sesame mung bean official, he guards the fat difference, and it is too late for others to scold him. The dignitaries and nobles in the capital, who want to have a performance, or want to take a beautiful concubine, have to give Yu Mosse some silver.

Yu Mo was rarely as diligent as he is today.

In the back hall, the dancers in the singing and dancing workshop were changing their clothes, and halfway through the change, someone hurriedly spread the word that all the dancers had gone out to line up. Outside, Liu Yu, Sui Yi and Li Mi were like three commanders coming to inspect the army, Sui Yi was excited, as long as the women he ordered would go to the banquet hall to accompany the wine.

Liu Yu stood aside and looked at it, these dancing girls said that they were beautiful, but they didn't have the kind of women who were unforgettable at a glance.

Sima Xuan'er sighed a little sadly: "Son, in fact, there are a few people who are not on this list. ”

Liu Yu was surprised: "Why? ”

Sima Xuan'er explained: "These dancers have elegant postures, and they look like they are from everyone's girlfriends. However, there was a word in the palace that these women were not allowed to appear in public, and it seemed that they were going to be sent to the palace. ”

Liu Yu nodded, the reason why Sima Xuan'er lamented was probably because of the bumpy fate of these women, their own family had already fallen, and they had to be driven by others. However, Liu Yu was also a little puzzled, since these women were the daughters of criminal officials, it stands to reason that they could be sent to the palace to be palace maids, and they should be sent to the singing and dancing workshop, and then transferred to the palace, why is it so troublesome?

Liu Yu asked, "Miss Sima, but where do you know where those people come from?" ”

Liu Yue didn't ask for his name, because Liu Yue knew that women in these years rarely stepped out of the boudoir, and their names were difficult for outsiders to understand. He just wanted to know if there would be any involvement behind these families.

Sima Xuan'er shook her head and said she didn't know.

Liu Yu had no choice but to call Yu Mo, the steward of the singing and dancing workshop, over, and Yu Mo said with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, what are you sending?" ”

"I heard that you have a few young ladies here, so I came to take a look, how do you ...... Don't see anyone? ”

Yu Mo was slightly surprised, and hurriedly leaned over and whispered, "Master Hou, forgive me, these people ...... The palace is not allowed to say, you old Haihan, Haihan. ”

"In the palace?" Liu Yu pretended to think about it for a while, and then seemed to have compromised, "Then it's not too much to ask who these women are, right?" ”

"This ...... Yes. Hou Ye, wait a minute. ”

Yu Mo went to the inner hall to take out a booklet and handed it to Liu Yu, Liu Yu opened the booklet and looked at it, and a feeling of annoyance rose in his heart. It's not that one of these women has something to do with him, but one of them reminds Liu Yu of the initiator of this matter.

Cao Yi. was selected by Su Yan in the selection of concubines, but was rejected by Liu Yu The little daughter of the Cao family outside the palace gate. (To be continued......)
