Chapter 9 The capital is full of beautiful men

When An Ge returned to the residence, Liu Pingle was sitting by the bookcase in the outer room, looking at a book, An Ge put the pea yellow that he had held all the way on the stage, and before she started, Liu Pingle was already attracted by the fragrance, and said in surprise: "Hey, it's Li Ji's pea yellow!" ”

An Ge nodded: "Yes, I almost suffered a death in the palace before, but fortunately, there was a kind imperial doctor who interceded for me, and he also gave me a bag of pea yellow on the way, and said that this chestnut pea yellow is the best in the capital, so I thought about bringing it back to eat with you." ”

"An Ge, you're so good!" Liu Pingle was excited to open the paper bag, and remembered something, immediately turned around and went back to the room, and came back after a while, and put a food box on the table, "I wonder if you have time to have dinner in the palace in the afternoon, right?" I've got some food for you, too, and I'll take it to the kitchen to warm it up later. ”

An Ge looked at the delicate sandalwood box, and her heart was moved, she left her hometown, and experienced several life and death on the road, she thought that the road in the future would also stumble, but she didn't expect that from yesterday to now, everything has gone so smoothly, and there are so many kind-hearted people to help her. When he raised his eyes again, An Ge's eyes were a little softer, and he said gratefully: "Pingle, thank you." ”

Liu Pingle smiled a little more, and shook his head busily: "You helped me when you first saw me, and people like you deserve to be good to you." Don't look at me as willful, but I'm not stupid, I know who is a good person. So don't thank me. That's right......" Liu Pingle suddenly remembered Zhang Lianfeng's explanation in the mansion today, and said, "An Ge, let's stay away from Liang Zifeng in the future, he holds grudges and is stingy, today I just said that his writing is rigid and stiff and tastes the same as the wax, and he said that I ...... like that."

An Ge was surprised: "Not really, right? It's just a discussion article between colleagues, so what's there to hold a grudge against? I read Mr. Liang's article, and it was a bit rigid, but I could see that he had great ambitions, not like a person who would repay his flaws. And Lord Liang's handwriting is also strong and powerful, at a glance, I thought he was very upright......"

"What can be seen in words and articles? Look at Cai Jing, the former prime minister of the dynasty, who dares to stand out in the world in his calligraphy? But do you say he's a good guy? ”

An Ge thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say whether the affairs of the court and politics are good or bad, but we just came, don't easily offend the people of the mansion, let's stand firm." ”

Liu Pingle snorted without snorting: "What am I afraid of?" If it really makes me unhappy, I'll just go home. ”

An Ge glanced at her and didn't speak again, yes, Liu Pingle is just here to have fun to pass the time, and she must stay in the Mansion until she retrieves her mother's posthumous work.

My mother entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and after ten years of ups and downs, she witnessed the change of imperial power and wrote the posthumous work with her life's work...... An Ge still remembers her mother's regret when she was dying, and at that time she secretly vowed to find this book so that her mother could sleep in peace.

The next day, An Ge handed over what he had gained yesterday to Liu Yongxu, and after Liu Yongxu finished reading, he pondered for a long time before he stroked his goatee and said: "Harem ladies are also so cheesy?" I actually like to read the third-rate scripts made by people in the market, who is this 'Mr. Xiguo'? Where do we find it? ”

Hearing Mr. Xiguo's name, Liu Pingle's eyes lit up: "I have read his script, it is also Zhuang and harmonious, full of fun, although it is a script, but there is no obscenity, it is completely different from the glamorous book circulating in the market, how can it be cheesy?" I see, none of us can be more talented than Mr. Xiguo, Lord Liu, don't be unconvinced, if you jump out of those rules and regulations to write a script, I guess you are not as good as me. ”

An Ge sighed secretly, she reminded Liu Pingle yesterday not to offend people all the time, but she really didn't listen.

Liu Yongxu glanced at her with a dark face, but didn't say anything, but Liang Zifeng sneered and said: "In our mansion, the pen is the last word, I really don't know where the madness comes from at a young age." ”

Guo Caiping echoed: "Yes, Lord Liu has been in the literary world for decades, and it is really lawless to be said to be inferior to her by a little girl!" ”

Liu Pingle raised his eyebrows and was about to quarrel with her, An Ge quickly turned his arm and touched Liu Pingle's table, Liu Pingle's thoughts were interrupted by An Ge, and he forgot how to refute for a moment.

After watching from the sidelines until now, Zhang Lianfeng smiled and said peace: "This kind of trivial matter is also worth arguing, and Lord Liu will not take this matter to heart." Since the ladies of the harem love to read this Mr. Xiguo's script, should we go to find this Mr. Xiguo, or what? ”

Liu Pingle laughed: "Mr. Xiguo is not easy to find, he is a celebrity in the capital, and no matter how many people want to see him, they can't see him." ”

This is also true, in a place like the capital, whether it is a storyteller or a singer and dancer, as long as they are a little famous, there are a group of nobles holding them, where can these sesame officials in the Dibao Mansion find people......

"Why don't we go buy some of Mr. Xiguo's words and come back and take a look? Anyway, we just want to please the girls, Mr. Xiguo can write it, can't we write it? Let's write a new script and show it to the girls. An Ge proposed, "And ah, we don't have to write one or half a book at once like those scripts on the market, we can write a little bit each, and show it to the ladies first, if the ladies like it, then continue to write, if not, then change to something else." ”

Liang Zifeng snorted coldly: "Where is the integrity of the literati? If you're just writing an article to be amused, wouldn't it be easier for you to just sing a song and dance? ”

An Ge looked at Liang Zifeng and was about to explain his reasoning to him, but Liu Yongxu interrupted her: "You can try." The queen mother is already very displeased with us, if we continue like this, I don't know how to change, and there is no need for the harem newspaper to exist. You know, we are not the same as the ministers in charge of the court, they have to have the world in their hearts and seek the well-being of the world, and we are just serving the ladies. After that, he glanced at Liang Zifeng again, "If you don't want to write a script, you can continue to write what you want to write, and I will leave a place for you in the newspaper." ”

The words had come to this point, and Liang Zifeng had nothing to say, so he had to shut up in a daze.

Liu Yongxu stood up, looked at An Ge appreciatively, and nodded at her: "Good job, if the queen is satisfied, the reward will definitely be indispensable to you." ”

An Ge was very surprised, and quickly nodded and thanked Liu Yongxu.

Money is what she wants most now besides her posthumous work, and she doesn't want to spend Liu Pingle and Yu Yuanyuan's money all the time.

"You go to the bazaar and take a look, it's not just this Mr. Xiguo, if there are other good books, buy them back and take a look, and the money will be paid by me." Liu Yongxu explained.

So everyone went out in twos and threes, An Ge was naturally with Liu Pingle, Liu Pingle went out of the door of the newspaper mansion and said to An Ge: "Follow me, I'm a connoisseur, when I was at home in the past, I often sneaked out and went to the market to buy a book." ”

"Great!" An Ge grabbed Liu Pingle's arm and said with a smile, "Pingle, you are really my nobleman, when you get paid, I will definitely treat you to a big meal." ”

"Okay, that's okay, I'm going to go to the Crane Tower to eat the best lychee meat when the time comes."

The two of them talked and laughed and went to Qianmen Street, which has been the most prosperous and lively street since the capital was moved to Beijing, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the sound of selling can be heard from far away.

Two miles to the west of Di Bao Mansion is Qianmen Street, and the two of them walked and strolled, and arrived at their destination in less than half an hour.

It was not a bookstore, it was a bookstall with all kinds of books on it, and the boss was a gray-haired aunt, and when she saw Liu Pingle coming, she stood up with a smile: "Miss Liu, I haven't been here for a long time." ”

"It's all my troublesome father, a while ago he said that it was not good for me to come out and show my face, and locked me up at home for more than half a month, and I came to you before I came out." Liu Pingle wiped his hands and stared at a table of books with bright eyes, "Has Mr. Xiguo's new work come out?" ”

"Here's a copy for you." The aunt hurriedly took it to Liu Pingle.

An Ge smiled and watched them chat for a while, and then looked down as well, and flipped through a few books casually, most of which were ghosts, martial arts legends, biographies, and ...... Yanben.

Liu Pingle saw that An Ge didn't know what to choose, so he took a few copies and gave them to her: "These are what I usually like to read, most of those ladies have similar family backgrounds to us, I think I love to watch, they should also love to read, you flip through them." ”

An Ge took the book and flipped one of them, the beginning is: "Guo Fengxiao ordered Yizhou, Cao A concealed the sorrow and weeping Zijin", the story is that Guo Fengxiao, a famous adviser of the Three Kingdoms, died of illness, Cao Cao was heartbroken for him, and chanted the poem "Qingqing Zijin is leisurely in my heart" in the middle of the night to pay tribute to Guo Fengxiao, the author's writing is tear-jerking, so that An Ge experienced the touching feelings of the monarch and ministers, and almost cried......

Just when she was indulging in the script, there was a sudden excitement around her, and in the chaos, she heard someone shouting: "Which son does Miss Wanyun want to die or live for?" ”

"Hey, this time it's a big shot, it's none other than the famous little overlord of the capital, King Jingjiang."

Liu Pingle also heard other people's discussions, his eyes immediately lit up, picked up some scripts, took out the money and gave it to his aunt, and then pulled An Ge and said, "Let's go and see the excitement, you can read the script at any time, and there will be no more after the excitement!" ”

Then An Ge was pulled by her to a floor called "Yuchun Pavilion" not far away, and a woman with bright makeup on the second floor was crying and riding on the railing, not caring about so many people watching below, crying and saying: "Wanyun moved the capital at the age of twelve, but he has always been innocent, who knows that the seventh prince forcibly occupied the body of the concubine, not to mention, and is not responsible!" The concubine has no face to live, woo woo woo, if the seventh prince is unwilling to admit me into the mansion today, I will jump from here! ”

The Seventh Prince...... An Ge remembered that he had heard his father mention this seventh prince before, that is, the king of Jingjiang, he was the seventh brother of the current emperor, with the name of a prince, leading the court to the court, but he never contributed to the government, he spent every day drinking and drinking, and he was a confused prince who did not seek progress. His biological mother was a princess of a neighboring country. Dali is a strong country and will never let his princess go out to make peace, but a small country nearby will still want it when he sends the princess over.

The Wanyun was making trouble, a carriage drove over, squeezed through the crowd and stopped downstairs, a man full of jewels got out of the car, looked at the Wanyun upstairs with his head high, and said: "What is the trouble, this king will marry you into the house!" ”

Watching the lively people, I don't know if they think it's ridiculous or really bless this pair of "lovers".

Unexpectedly, the king of Jingjiang suddenly turned around and said to the people watching the excitement behind him: "Who of you still can see the glory and wealth of this king, this king is in a good mood today, as long as he looks passable, stand up and say, this king is accepted!" At the end, he added: "No limit to men and women!" ”

An Ge and Liu Pingle in the back row watched the excitement with relish, and it was the first time for An Ge to see such a nonsense person, and he couldn't help laughing, and he didn't know why the King of Jingjiang suddenly looked at her, and her eyes met unexpectedly.

King Jingjiang also smiled, his appearance has some foreign customs, especially the eyes that are lighter than the Han people, they are also very good-looking, he is tall, well-proportioned, and has deep facial features.

"Hey, what about you, the girl who stared straight at this king, have you also taken a fancy to this king!" He said in the direction of An Ge.
