Chapter 106: Chunxi Tower (II)
Nowadays, the ladies will spare a set of dresses when they go out to prevent emergencies from being caught off guard. When Bai Muguan went to the next room to change into a pearl-colored compound sara skirt and came back, he sang the drama on stage. Although there was a lot of unpleasantness on the way, King Xu had instructed earlier to wait for the drama to stop singing and let Ren Yi go upstairs to the private room to see him.
You Baichuan stood up tremblingly and was about to leave, when he saw the door of the private room being silently pushed open, and a jade-faced scholar with pink makeup and jade masonry came into view.
After standing still, Ren Yi bent down and bowed to the distinguished guests present: "Ren Yi of the grass people asks His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness King Xu is blessed." ”
At this time, Ren Yi had already cleaned his face and changed his clothes, he was about twenty-three or four years old, with a long figure, fair skin, dark black hair, handsome eyebrows and eyes, looking forward to Shenfei. Although he is not as beautiful and graceful as Yuwen Ye's noble nature, nor is he as graceful as Yuwen Yuanxuan, he is not overshadowed by being in the same room, and his behavior is not restrained and childish.
Bai Muguan glanced at him deeply and remembered it in his heart.
Yu Wenye narrowed his starry eyes and smiled faintly: "No courtesy, look at Boss Ren is not like a famous character, but like a scholar." To be honest, his interest today was disturbed by Sima Ning.
Yes, Ren Yi's temperament is different from that of ordinary actors, he gives people a kind of elegant and peaceful reading and reasoning.
Unexpectedly, he really nodded: "Your Highness has good eyesight, Cao Min studied in private school for several years when he was young, and later had to learn art to make a living because of his family." ”
"Did you go to private school?" Yuwen Yuanxuan next to him was taken aback, and asked with wide eyes, "Then why don't you study hard for a scientific examination, maybe you can make a name for yourself." ”
What about the middle of the road? Examples of the poor student Enke and the first, the extremely human minister, abound throughout the ages. No matter how prosperous the drama is, it is not the right way, and the identity of the lower ninth rate will accompany you for a lifetime.
Hearing this, Ren Yi lowered his eyes, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Xu doesn't know, my father was once a well-known businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and he also hopes that the grass people can once be honored with the first Dengke Guangzong." It's a pity that he offended the local magistrate for some reason, and not only was he forced to seal the house and fields, but he was even deprived of his qualifications for the township examination. ”
Yuwen Ye and Yuwen Yuanxuan intersected with each other, and subconsciously were stunned, they were proud sons who grew up in the center of imperial power, and they responded to every call. I don't know what kind of life the people in the states and counties outside are living when they leave the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven and leave the capital. It would be better to meet a parent official who treats the people as if he was a son, honest and upright, but if he is unlucky to be a local official who is either lustful or greedy for money or heavy profit, the common people will talk about living and working in peace and contentment. Now that Ren Yi said this, they still feel sorry for him.
Yuwen Yuanxuan has a good impression of this hot famous actor, and now he is even more interested, and the questions are one after another: "Why did you go to Yanzhou later?" Do you still have any relatives alive at home? ”
Ren Yi was not ambiguous, and before he thought about it, he said: "Cao Min went to Yanzhou with his master eight years ago to learn art, and his master was originally from Yanzhou. Last year, my father and mother died of illness one after another, and the two sisters in the family were married, but there was a little sister who was abducted and separated a few years ago. It wasn't until half a year ago that there was news that the little sister was in the capital, which was the heart disease of the grass people and the deceased parents, and it was inevitable to find the little sister to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors in her lifetime, so the grass people said goodbye to the master and came to the capital alone. ”
Bai Muguan was moved in his heart when he heard this, and suddenly answered: "I don't know how old Boss Ren's sister is this year?" What was your name in the past? I might be able to help you. ”
Since Ren Yi is from Jiangnan, she has a way to find out his family, and it should not be difficult to help Ren Yi with her friendship with that person and that person's skills. As for why she helped him? She couldn't understand it for a while, in addition to her inexplicable good impression of him, Bai Muguan always felt that Ren Yi might be able to be used by her in Chunxi Lou in the future. After all, the master behind Chunxi Tower is King Xixi, not to mention that she and Sima Ning are not on good terms, just because King Xixi is vacillating on both sides of Empress Dowager Xiao and the crown prince, she should also pay more attention to King Xixi.
Ren Yi saw this bright and dazzling beautiful girl suddenly speak, shocked by her beauty, and knew that her identity should be very noble, otherwise she would not sit beside the prince. He couldn't help but have a light in his eyes, and subconsciously trusted her, and couldn't help but tell the truth: "Back to this young lady, my sister Ziyi should be fourteen years old this year." ”
Bai Muguan nodded and said no more.
Yuwen Yuanxuan raised his eyes to look at Ren Yi and smiled a little ambiguously, kept eating the shelled peanuts in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "This is the beloved daughter of General Bai sung in your opera, the major opera gardens are full of tunes that sing praises to the ancients, and few people can sing today." ”
When the grass people were young, they admired General Bai's pure heart of hard work and hard work for several years in Mobei, and they never dared to think that they would be able to see the beauty of General Bai's daughter in their lifetime, and they were really excited. I heard that Miss Bai did not let her eyebrows be shaved and accompanied General Bai to the battlefield, which is also admirable. After that, Ren Yi bowed deeply to Bai Muguan, and he could see that his words were sincere.
Bai Muguan smiled slightly, not showing a trace of relief, let alone being complacent, but just opened his mouth generously: "Boss Ren doesn't have to be polite, the reason why my father can make achievements is also due to the fact that His Majesty is not suspicious of treating his courtiers well." If it weren't for His Majesty's trust and wisdom, how could my father have been in charge of Shuai Yin for more than ten years? In the future, he also asked the boss not to sing about his father's attack on the enemy camp on Chinese New Year's Eve every day, for fear that it would cause dissatisfaction among his colleagues and make people mistakenly think that his father was proud of his own merits. ”
No matter how great the merit of any courtier is, it is not as great as the emperor, whether it is glory and wealth, or catastrophe, it is all in the emperor's thoughts. Not to mention that Chunxi Lou has many people, Ren Yi sings Bai Zhanyi's merits here, which is easy to attract impeachment by the officials, and the emperor is not happy when he hears too much. The upstart of the Bai family was already worried about the high merit, and over time, someone would use this matter to make a big fuss, and the Bai family was afraid that they would be speechless.
Therefore, Bai Muguan's tone was not a euphemism, but an order, with undoubted majesty. Ren Yi faintly felt guilty in his ears, it was indeed his inconsiderate thinking and almost harmed the Bai family. Thinking of this, he hurriedly made amends: "Yes, what Miss Bai said, the grass people have written it down." ”
"If it's all right, stand down." Yu Wenye waved his hand at Ren Yi, then turned his head to King Xu and said, "Brother Xuan, you continue to eat melons and fruits and listen to the drama here, and I will go back to the East Palace with Guan Guan first to approve the folds." ”
Yuwen Yuanxuan hurriedly threw down the peanuts in his hand, stood up and shook his brocade robe, and said with a smile: "Cousin Ye, don't worry, I'll go with you, Jing'er is still waiting for this king Qinse and Ming in the mansion." ”
For some reason, when he said the word "Jing'er", Ren Yi, who was retiring according to the courtesy, suddenly paused, and his back trembled. Yuwen Ye and Yuwen Yuanxuan didn't care, but this scene clearly fell in Bai Muguan's eyes.
"Go ahead." Yu Wenye sighed a little helplessly, and the matter of King Xu's desire to accept Shu Jing'er as a side concubine made a lot of noise a few years ago. The emperor and queen in the palace couldn't accept it at first, and felt that it was a loss of royal dignity. Later, I don't know how King Xu stalked and played a role, and he coaxed the emperor to reluctantly give in. promised to wait for him to marry the princess, if Shu Jing'er gave birth to an heir, she could consider being promoted as a side concubine, and now serve as a concubine first. As long as the emperor is willing to let go, it doesn't hurt to spend some more time.
It was Yuwen Ye, who also found that Yuwen Yuanxuan had come back from his inspection in Yanzhou, and he had obviously stepped on the Goolan Washer in the capital, and he was occasionally dragged away by those gentlemen and only had a few drinks, and it was even more difficult to hear the scandalous news about King Xu's sleeping flowers and willows. It is undeniable that Shu Jing'er's contribution is indispensable, if he keeps his heart in mind, it is natural for her to give birth to a son and a half daughter as a side concubine in a few years.
Although Yu Wenye always had a trace of doubt, he felt that Shu Jing'er's approach to King Xu was not all a girl's infatuation.
As soon as they stepped out of the private room, they were facing a slender and moving figure, and they were walking upstairs. The visitor only glanced at it quietly, and hurriedly bowed down to say hello.
"You're here to find King Xu?"
Hearing the prince's voice above her head, Shu Jing'er buried her face even lower, and replied meekly and respectfully: "The concubine is indeed here to find His Royal Highness King Xu." ”
This time, Bai Muguan spoke: "Go up quickly, King Xu is still in the private room." ”
Shu Jing'er bowed her head and bowed, and responded with a smile.
"King Xu really loves her, how can the concubines of others casually show up and go out of the house." Bai Muguan sighed softly, there was a trace of inexplicable regret in her tone, and she didn't even hear it at the moment.
Yu Wenye disagreed, and smiled softly: "Don't worry, if you become my side concubine in the future, I won't detain you all day long, you are still as free as now." ”
"Your Highness is used to making fun of me!" Bai Muguan urged him, and his reddish face lined his complexion better.
"Let's go, there are countless folds to greet Prince Ben when I go back." Yu Wenye sighed faintly.
The girl smiled: "I'll accompany you." ”
They didn't notice that when Ren Yi, who was standing behind the pillar in the corner, saw Shu Jing'er's figure walking into the private room, his eyes were bloodshot red, his hands were clenched into fists, and his bones made outrageous noises due to excessive force.
If it had been discovered earlier, it might not have caused the tragedy that followed.
