Entering the Dahua Bookstore, Zhu Hongyu looked left and right, and saw that this place was indeed lively, with people from three religions and nine streams gathered together.

You can see the officials and wealthy businessmen who poke their heads out to listen to the commentary in the private room, and you can also see the ordinary people sitting in the lobby listening to the commentary.

Runye, Jin Yuanjing, and Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber entered the bookstore, and Xiao Er, who spoke Yangzhou dialect, hurriedly went up to greet them.

"Four distinguished guests, please!"

didn't wait for Zhu Hongyu to say that she wanted to listen below, or go upstairs to listen in the private room, Xiao Er cleverly asked the four people to go to the private room.

After all, two people wearing Taoist robes come to such a place for pastime, and they can't be righteous and bright after all.

Runye and Jin Yuanjing went upstairs with the front of the Taoist robe, Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber deliberately separated a little distance from them and went upstairs, and Xiao Er led them to a private room on the second floor.

The private room is very small, but it is also so that the guests can better see the sound of the comments below.

But if you want to sit in a good place, it will inevitably affect the feeling of listening to the music.

After entering the door, the four of them sat around the Eight Immortals table, and Xiao Er asked with a smile and kindness.

"Two masters, young lady, are you going to listen to the comments below, or do you want someone to come up and listen."

Zhu Hongyu was a calculating businessman and asked, "What is the price?" ”

"If you listen to the following, you can order a few pastries and snacks and a pot of tea, but it is only about six coins of silver. If you ask someone to come up and listen, there are different prices, but snacks and desserts are free, so you can't take them away. ”

Zhu Hongyu thought that the three of them had not eaten, if they forcibly read the following comments, no one would be able to eat well today.

The location of their private room is hidden, just to let people come over to sing and comment, since Xiao Er is sensible, then they should also enjoy it.

"In that case, then we'll call someone to come up and evaluate the bomb, I don't know what price you all have here?"

"This is the best one is Yangzhou Chen Zisu and Chen Xiaohua who have a cliché tune, and they sing for a hundred taels of silver. Of course, there are also cheap, Yu Guo and Yue Duo brothers and sisters who have just come out to sing the tune, or the teacher, most of the Taoist chiefs still like to listen to Chen Li, who also sings the tune, Chen Ping's sisters and brothers, twenty taels of silver. ”

When everyone heard this price, they couldn't help but gasp, but Zhu Hongyu thought that today was the Shangyuan Festival, and she should enjoy a day of life, and it was understandable to hear this.

"Then call Chen Li and Chen Ping, who sing the old tune, to come."

"Sister!" Zhu Amber hurriedly called her sister, this price is a bit too expensive, how can ordinary people afford it.

But Zhu Hongyu knows that this price is the price of a big city, and if you want to live in Bianjing, you must get used to this price.

"Go and call them, the three of us just haven't eaten, so let's get some of your specialties here."

"What kind of tea do the four guests want to drink?"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Xiao Er, and then remembered that Bianjing is a huge cargo hub, and there is all kinds of tea here.

"What tea do you have here?"

"Longjing, Biluochun, Maofeng, Yunwu, melon slices, silver needles, Maojian, rock tea, Tieguanyin, Dahongpao."

Zhu Hongyu heard that it was really amazing, the top ten famous teas are an optional project here, no wonder you can't invite an artist to come up and ask for at least ten taels of silver, the service can really keep up.

Runye was chosen first, and he was really a little homesick, so he said, "Biluochun." ”

Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, this out of Ganzhou does not choose tea from other places to taste the taste, you can be stubborn.

"Melon slices, I haven't heard of them...... Taste it. "Jin Yuanjing is a sincere person, and he has never seen any courage to try.

"It's cold, I want a big red robe."

"Me too!"

Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber chose black tea, this weather is cold enough, let the able-bodied man drink green tea, she Zhu Hongyu still drink a little more stable black tea.

Xiao Er memorized the tea, and heard that the three of them had not eaten, so he quickly ran out, ran to the back kitchen very quickly, and ordered Xiao Er next to him to pour tea, and the master in the back kitchen cooked.

Seeing Xiao Er go out, and thinking of the money she had just spent, Zhu Hongyu sighed, and looked at Zhu Amber, who was sad because of the money, and hurriedly comforted her.

"Amber, it's not that our family is short of money, but that there have been too many things happening recently, so we have to cut back on food and clothing. I promise you, as long as you wait for my brother to take office, our family will not worry, and you are still worried about my ability to do business? ”

Zhu Amber sighed and said, "Twenty taels of silver is twenty taels of silver, today is the Shangyuan Festival...... It's a pity that my younger brother is not here, and I have to go to Lord An with Lord Lu on the Shangyuan Festival, but Lord Lu is really a good person, and if I can take my younger brother to visit high-ranking officials, my future future is limitless. ”

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, she didn't want to say anything, it may be some not very good experiences in her previous life, which made her extremely earnestly hope that her younger brother can become a clean official and not lose his morality because of money.

"It's unlimited, and I also hope that my younger brother can really be a good official. Just like Jin Daochang and Rundao Chang, at first glance, they are concerned about the world. ”

Zhu Hongyu looked at Jin Yuanjing and Runye, and when the two of them heard Zhu Hongyu's words, they hurriedly waved their hands.

"Hongyu, don't talk about us like that, it's really a bit of a killing."

While he was talking, Xiao Er knocked on the door, Runye shouted to let him in, Xiao Er hurriedly ran in, and bowed very respectfully to the group.

There is a tray in the small second-hand with four bowls of tea leaves in Sancai cups, and three different cups correspond to different tea leaves. Biluochun in the night, melon slices in Jin Yuanjing, and the big red robe of vermilion and vermilion.

After finishing the tea, Xiao Er served a bowl of hot dadao noodles and served them to Runye and Jin Yuanjing, and Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Amber served meat steak noodles.

"A few guest officers, this is our specialty here, the master of the red case in the back kitchen is from Huaiyang cuisine, you use it first."

After Xiao Er's introduction, the three of them had already picked up chopsticks and feasted, and the last Xiao Er walked to Jin Yuanjing's side with a bowl of hot rice balls and gave it to Jin Yuanjing.

"Treat the guest officer slowly."

Jin Yuanjing saw that the rice balls had no intention of eating, but he didn't eat any desserts after the meal, it really seemed like something was missing, and it was okay to taste it.

Just after Xiao Er put his things away, there was a sound of footsteps from downstairs, and a man and a woman came up from downstairs, which were Chen Li and Chen Ping.

They each held a musical instrument in their hands, the man held the pipa, and the woman held the three strings, which really surprised Zhu Hongyu.

After they entered the house, the little two retreated, and on the side away from the window, the two of them saluted to the four.

"I've seen Master Dao, I've seen Miss, my sister and brother sang "Double Press Courtyard Refining Seal" today."

Fluent Yangzhou dialect, gentle and lovely, Zhu Hongyu really doesn't know why God wants to give Jiangnan people such a warm and sweet character, and the words she says are so good.

As he spoke, the two of them sat on the stool that Xiao Er had set and was about to sing, but they were stopped by Zhu Hongyu.

"We are all foreigners, and we have never heard of Pingdan, so I don't know what kind of story "Double Press Courtyard" is about."

Chen Li sat on the stool and looked at Zhu Hongyu very politely.

"This play is also simple, it is an old thing from the previous dynasty. Yang Chuan and Li Yi, who were sent to the Yamen of Caojiang in Jinling, were ordered to go to Huaibei, passing through Yangzhou, and heard and witnessed all kinds of crimes in the township of Xiao Guozhong, the master of Zhishi. Yang and Li took a risk, made fake gold seals with rosin and yellow wax, and Yang pretended to be a new court member and Li pretended to be an entourage to Yangzhou to take office as a director, to uphold justice for the people, and deceived Xiao Guozhong to the lobby and punished him. When the real Chen Kui arrived after marriage, it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity, so he decided to refine the seal in the court. took advantage of the chaos to exchange the true seal, so that the real Chen Kui was taken away. ”

Zhu Hongyu thinks that this play sounds really interesting, it turned out to be a drama of Li Dai Taozhuang, and the ancients wrote books without caring about the connotation of the insinuation.

At the beginning, the emperor asked Ji Yuzhi, a craftsman who could strike iron, to refine the tiger talisman, and then called the military power to quell the rebellion, which was a trick of an empty glove white wolf.

Although this is an old thing from the previous dynasty, if it happened to Zhu Hongyu, Zhu Hongyu would definitely ban this play.

Then Zhu Hongyu soon realized the reason why these two people wanted to sing this drama.

"Isn't it true that many Taoist priests come to you and like to hear this?"

Runye looked at the two of them and asked calmly.

Chen Li and Chen Ping do not shy away from this issue, although it is said that it is Bianjing, but now the emperor is not strict with the mouth of the common people, everyone can say whatever they want, and they are not afraid of prison.

"Yes, especially the Taoist chief of Chaoyunguan, I like to listen to this drama the most when I come here, maybe because of the anecdotes of the former national teacher, but I don't dare to listen to the play "Tiger Fu" openly."

Zhu Hongyu looked at the two of them in shock, thinking to herself, is this era so open?

Even the current emperor dares to talk nonsense.

"Oh? Do you dare to sing "Tiger Fu"? Runye's tone became serious, and Chen Li still looked like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth.

"Although "Tiger Fu" is a matter of this dynasty, we also sang it with the drama of the previous dynasty, and the court did not care, and we dared to sing it. Besides, dignitaries and dignitaries like to hear this play. ”

Zhu Hongyu fell into deep thought, to be honest, she was quite envious of this era.

"Chief Rundao, if you don't care, you might as well listen to "Tiger Fu"."

When Runye heard Zhu Hongyu's suggestion, she couldn't help but be curious about what happened to her father and the emperor back then.

In fact, Han Tongxuan had already told him about Ji Yuzhi and the emperor, but he really didn't know how it was spread among the people.

"Then listen to Tiger Fu." Runye is not taboo about what happened to his father, since Zhu Hongyu also wants to hear it, it is inevitable that everyone will know about it, and let him, the authority, know how the people today think of the former national teacher.

He is also good at knowing how to do a good job in the future.

Chen Li picked up the pipa and plucked the strings of the pipa with his skillful fingers, making a beautiful and simple music.
