Once a person opened his mouth, it was like a flood breaking through a dike, the breach of the dike became bigger and bigger, and it was out of control, Xi Feng was as timid as a mouse, and soon said everything Duan Fei wanted to know like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Duan Fei walked out of the edict with a thick stack of confessions, followed by Xi Feng, who was as well-behaved as a family dog in addition to Wang Zuo, and his many handles were all pinched in Duan Fei's hands, so he couldn't be obedient, otherwise as long as Duan Fei leaked one or two out, he would have to be hunted down by his senior brother or other 'leaked' people all over the world.

"Xi Feng, this official can't let you go back for the time being, lest others say that this official is easy to bully, or suspect that you have surrendered to this official, your senior brother left angrily just now, he must have invited another master to come to you, this official will drag it out again, and then pretend to be forced to let you go back, no one will suspect it, Wang Zuo, you make good arrangements, you must let Xi Feng feel the sincerity of this official."

Wang Zuo replied: "Yes, I obey my orders. ”

Duan Fei said again: "Xi Feng, if you have any needs, just mention it, Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to say anything, but it will definitely make you happy here." ”

Xi Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you, my lord, Xi Feng will definitely enjoy this kind of thing until the adult lets me go back." ”

Duan Fei said, "Well, you can go with Wang Zuo." ”

The two said goodbye to Duan Fei, Duan Fei looked at Xi Feng's somewhat embarrassed back, smiled slightly, and went to take care of himself.

The first lobbyist invited by Xi Feng came quickly, and Duan Fei was a little overwhelmed by a note, the note was sent by Wang Shouren to the housekeeper, and only a few words were written on it, the semantics were concise and incisive, and it was difficult for people to misunderstand, only to see that it was written: "Release people, take care of the thatched house." ”

Duan Fei took the note and smiled bitterly, and said to the palace housekeeper who was looking forward to replying: "Please tell the teacher, just say that Duan Fei will follow the teacher's teachings, and he will release him when he turns around." ”

The old butler's eyes flashed with obvious pride, and he admired his old master's prestige incomparably, and even the arrogant and domineering Jinyi commanded Duan Fei to behave like a cat in front of his old master, and he could boast about it for a while when he turned around.

Duan Fei really followed his fate, and soon let Xi Feng go, and Lin Yi, who was waiting outside the Jinyi Guard, saw Xi Feng being caught out by two Jinyi Guards and thrown out of the door heavily, Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and when he saw his senior brother, Xi Feng, who was weak and scared, suddenly howled and cried.

At this moment, someone shouted loudly at the gate of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town: "The commander has made the adults come out, and the people who are blocking the way outside should avoid it, and they deserve to be trampled to death!" ”

Duan Fei rode the jade unicorn and rushed out of the gate with two teams of brocade guards, Lin Yi hurriedly pulled his junior brother to the side to dodge, Duan Fei stopped in front of the two, and said with a smile: "Daoist Lin Yi, Brother Xi Feng, this official has offended a lot, please don't care, there is a chance that the official will invite the two to Taibai Mansion to drink a glass of apology wine, today the official still has important things to do, so he will not be far away." ”

After Duan Fei finished speaking, he clamped the horse's belly and rode away, followed by two teams of brocade guards, stirring up dust in the sky, choking Lin Yi and Xi Feng on the side of the road and hurriedly covering their noses.

Duan Fei bought some New Year's goods on the street, and then rushed to Wang Shouren's mansion, just like last time, Wang Shouren didn't see Duan Fei, and didn't even let him in the door, the old housekeeper stopped at the door, his nose was in the sky, and he said loudly: "Lord Duan, please go back, my master won't see you." ”

Duan Fei begged hard, and finally returned after successfully attracting a lot of eyeballs, and Shi Bin, who came with him for the second time, was not happy again, he said loudly: "My lord, this old man is too ignorant of current affairs, my lord is so sincere to ask to see, not only is he gone, but he doesn't even let the adult enter the door, it really makes sense, and when he turns around, he will ask the emperor to visit him, so that he can't eat and go around." ”

Duan Fei shouted, "Shut up! One day as a teacher and a father for life, although Lord Wang is not my teacher, but he has personally promoted me, can be regarded as my teacher, no matter how he treats me, I don't care what you do? Is it itchy and looking for a twitch? ”

Shi Bin pouted and muttered, "Am I not speaking for you, unlucky......"

Duan Fei ignored him, went to the street to buy again, it was almost the New Year, and there was almost nothing at home, so let's go out today to buy some things for the New Year.

Just when Duan Fei almost swept away a New Year's goods shop, the conversation between the two scholars at the door of the store next door penetrated Duan Fei's ears, and he only heard one of them say, "Brother Liang, have you heard?" Qingqing, everyone is coming to the capital! ”

Brother Liang shook his head proudly and said, "Why don't you know? I queued up for a night last night, and finally bought the first ticket for Qingqing everyone's first show in the capital, I heard that the ticket price has increased fivefold now, and I can't buy one for a hundred taels of silver, why is your news so ill-informed? As early as a few days ago, I had heard the news that everyone Qingqing was coming to the capital. ”

The scholar surnamed Zhu smiled bitterly: "I've heard about it a long time ago, but I always thought it was just a rumor, who would have thought that everyone in Qingqing, who had always refused to enter Beijing, really came this time, Brother Liang, you can't just buy one ticket after a night's queue, right?" How about giving me a flat sheet? ”

Brother Liang shook his head towards the rattle and said: "It's been robbed a long time ago, I only kept one, Qingqing, everyone didn't say the return date, there will be many performances, I wish you better wait patiently and buy tickets for other shows." ”

The scholar surnamed Zhu said: "That's all it can be...... Alas, Brother Liang, do you know why everyone in Qingqing has been refusing to enter Beijing? I've always wanted to enjoy her singing and dancing, and I'm almost looking forward to it. ”

Duan Fei pulled his ears, only to hear the scholar surnamed Liang say proudly: "I heard that she is not used to the climate in the north, so she has always refused to come to the capital, this time someone must have spent a lot of money to invite her, and smashed it with gold and silver mountains, do you still care about that bit of climate?" ”

Duan Fei shook his head, how could the young girl care about those silvers? If she cared about silver, she would have been brought into the house by those billionaire wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

The scholar surnamed Zhu also shook his head and said: "Impossible, the year before last, Boss Wu of Tongxintang threw 500,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't invite everyone from Qingqing, could anyone be willing to give 1 million taels this year?" ”

The surnamed Liang didn't know how to answer, Wang Zuo also heard their conversation, saw that Duan Fei was also paying attention, and whispered to Duan Fei: "My lord, the Qingqing girl has been refusing to enter Beijing not for money, but because there is an emperor in the capital who does not play cards according to common sense, and the Qingqing girl does not want to be summoned into the palace by the emperor who admires her, so she has been refusing to enter Beijing, this time someone promised to protect her, and she was willing to enter Beijing." ”

Duan Feiqi said: "Oh? Who is so capable that he dares to hit the emperor's package ticket? ”

Wang Zuo replied: "It's the queen mother, she has admired the reputation of the young girl for a long time, Guo Houye pulled the line for the young girl, and the queen mother agreed, the emperor has become more and more filial over the years, and the queen mother is the guarantor, so the young girl naturally doesn't have to worry." ”

Duan Fei sighed, remembering the scene of his two encounters with the young girl, he was stunned for a while, and said, "Let's go, go home." ”

As soon as I returned home, I saw the housekeeper walking over with a big red invitation with a smile, and said to Duan Fei: "Master, the young girl sent an invitation, inviting the master to go to Mingyufang to participate in her first performance in the capital in the evening, and Mr. Wen and Mr. Tang were also invited. ”

Duan Fei was stunned, he just heard the news of Qingqing's entry into Beijing just now, but he didn't expect that the invitation had been delivered to his home, he took the invitation and unfolded it, Juanxiu's handwriting came into view, seeing the words was like seeing Qingqing himself, Duan Fei closed the invitation and put it away, and sighed deeply.

Wang Zuo asked puzzledly: "My lord, it is difficult to find a ticket for the first performance of the young girl, let alone the invitation, others are all ecstatic when they receive the invitation, why do the adults sigh?" ”

Duan Fei said: "I'm sighing and racking my brains to think of some verses to get through, it's much more difficult than solving the case, I really want to find an excuse to slip away, but unfortunately the Chinese New Year is coming, there is really no reason to leave Beijing suddenly." ”

Wang Zuo laughed dumbly, he didn't expect this floor, Duan Fei frowned and walked into the room, calculated the days, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, most people will stay at home to eat reunion dinner, and then go out to the street to visit the lanterns, play in the garden, Qingqing Mo doesn't want to have a Spring Festival Gala and monopolize the high-end art consumer market?

The controversy caused by King Xing's case has gradually subsided, and the unified opinion of the ministers is to protect King Xingwang's body, and when the spring flowers bloom, Princess Yongfu will carry the coffin back to the Anlu Prefecture Royal Cemetery for burial.

Zhengde was reluctant to never see Princess Yongfu again, and planned to send Princess Yongfu back in person, and then borrow Princess Yongfu and the old princess to Beijing, which was naturally whimsical and was denied by the courtiers over and over again.

In the twenty-ninth year, Zhengde came to Duan Fei with Princess Yongfu in the early dynasty, Zhengde wanted to play on Qionghua Island in Taiye Pond, but Duan Fei wanted to buy gifts.

"Lord Wang has the grace of promoting me, I haven't had the opportunity to enter the house to meet after coming to Beijing, today is the last chance this year, I must come to the door again to ask for a meeting, so I want to pick a special gift, a gift that can impress the teacher."

Zhengde said: "This is difficult, Wang Shouren is notoriously weird tempered, if you don't like it, you don't like it, I think you're trying in vain." ”

Princess Yongfu said: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan has the style of a gentleman, how can he retreat in distress?" The more difficult things are, the more sincere they are, Lord Wang rejected Lord Duan twice, just to test Lord Duan, I think Lord Duan as long as his heart is sincere enough, he will definitely be able to impress Lord Wang. ”

Zhengde was surprised: "Yongfu, how do you know that Duan Aiqing was rejected twice?" I told me only in the morning when Zhang Rui told me as a joke. ”

Princess Yongfu said: "The eunuchs and maids in the palace are all talking, I just heard it." ”

Zhengde sighed and said: "No wonder, in the past, there was Liu Bei three times to look at the thatched house, and now there is Duan Aiqing three times to worship the teacher, well, even I am looking forward to Aiqing's great success." ”

Princess Yongfu asked, "Has Lord Duan figured out what gifts to buy?" You must know who gives what gifts, although Lord Wang has a strange temper, if he can buy a gift that suits his heart, I believe Lord Wang will also like it. ”

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "I have prepared an assignment, a landscape poetry and painting cooperated by Master Tang and Master Wen, and I want to buy some precious four treasures of the study or some unique ancient books, it should be about the same." ”
