In the city of Xuzhou, it rained in the middle of the night, and by dawn, the rain was not light, but it was getting heavier and heavier.

Chen Jiang and Zhu Xi sat opposite each other in a window seat on the first floor of the inn, eating breakfast slowly and leisurely, watching the rain fall more and more heavily outside.

"I can't go today, but fortunately, there is nothing urgent." Zhu Xi drank a bowl of soup and snorted from time to time, "This soup is really good, it is fragrant and slightly spicy, and the buns are good." ”

"If it doesn't rain, you can still walk around, it's raining so hard." Chen Jiang looked out the window again and yawned, "This day is boring." ”

At the door of the inn, Yingui came in, took the hat from his head, handed it to the guy who greeted him with his coat, stomped the muddy water on his feet, walked to Chen Jiang and Zhu Xi's table and sat down in a few steps, looked at it, and raised his hand to signal the guy first.

They had been staying in this inn for four or five days, and the man knew what he meant by raising his hand, so he agreed loudly, hurriedly served the soup, quickly picked up a small pot of steamed buns from the frying pan, and mixed the salted mustard greens neatly, cut a plate of dog meat, and put some peppercorns on the side, and served them the same.

"Can't you go today?" Yingui sat down, looked at Chen Jiang first and asked.

"It's raining too much, there's nothing urgent at this time, just wait a day." Chen Jiang said with a smile as he moved the buns and pickles on the table to the side to make room for Yingui's pile of breakfast.

"If you don't leave today, why do you two get up so early? Also, when did you both get up so early, since you don't leave, what are the arrangements? What about you? Yingui asked Chen Jiang and looked at Zhu Xi again.

"Not yet." Chen Jiang replied, and Zhu Xi nodded.

"That ......" Yingui just spoke, and saw a bowl of soup falling from the top of his head, so he stopped first, waited for the guy to serve good soup, served steamed buns and pickles, pepper dog meat, took a sip of the bowl first, and snorted comfortably twice, before continuing: "A few brothers here, saying that Xuzhou is acting in a new play, which is good-looking, or, go and see this new play?" ”

Yingui said while eating and drinking.

"What's new?" Zhu Xi frowned and asked.

"Let's just say it's a new play." Yingui took a bite of the bun, and there was a hint of ambiguity in his tone, "Boss Hu took the letter, saying that this new play is good, what is it called...... What is it, it is best to let Chen Ye take a look at the letter you just received in the morning. ”

"Well, let's go check it out." Chen Jiang nodded immediately, he didn't have the slightest interest in watching the play, it was something to fool a stupid woman and a stupid man, but Hu Panshi took a letter and asked him to take a look, this play must have something to watch, or something that must be seen.

"It just so happens that there is a troupe from Lu'an, how good it is to sing this new opera." Yingui said, raised his hand and called the long entourage on the other table, "Go and talk to Lao Huang, I'll take a look at the scene he said later." ”

The chief responded, put on a coat and went out to spread the word.

"What the hell is a new play?" Watching Chang Sui go out, Zhu Xi looked at Yingui and asked.

"I really don't know, I only like to watch lively dramas, this drama ...... I don't know if it's hot or not, the letter I just received in the morning, came down the river, not an urgent letter, I didn't inquire, anyway, I saw it after a while. ”

Yingui was talking, eating the buns and drinking the soup, and eating it quickly, looking at the time was almost up, he pulled the car out, and a few guys held umbrellas and sent Chen Jiang and Zhu Xi into the car.

The car walked unhurriedly for half an hour, entered the most lively tile in the southern city, and stopped at the door of the elephant shed.

The elephant shed has been crowded, crowded next to each other is full of people, the hawkers are loud and crisp shouting selling melon seeds and peanuts hot cloth, two clever men dressed in green cloth and short beats, have long been at the door of the elephant shed, see the silver expensive, a smiling face is simply a flower, very attentive to meet up, one left and one right in front of the front, along the edge of the elephant shed, to the front of a few high hanging private rooms.

Chen Jiang and Zhu Xi turned their heads in surprise to look at the excitement around them, the rules for listening to the drama are the most lively in the evening, during the day, especially in the morning, most of the troupe is resting, even singing, and they are all festive hat shows, or cappella churches and the like, they have just eaten breakfast at this time, why are there so many people?

"I just had breakfast, why do you listen to so many plays? You Xuzhou people are idle, just listen to the drama every day? Without waiting for Chen Jiang to ask, Yingui looked at the two men in Tsing Yi and asked first.

"Look at what the master said, we Xuzhou people are idle, where does we get the money to listen to the drama every day? This early in the morning so many people came to listen to the play, because of this play, Bai Ye just came from other places, I don't know, this celebration class to our Xuzhou on the first day, was invited by the Caosi Yamen, singing this new play, I heard that Shuai Si, Xian Si, and Xuezheng, all went, the next day, was invited by Fu Yin to sing for a day, several county orders attached to Guo, dragged the family and brought the mouth. ”

The man's answer was crisp and refreshing, Chen Jiang raised his eyebrows when he heard it, and Zhu Xi also showed a hint of surprise.

"The celebration class only stayed in our Xuzhou for ten days, saying that it was Huainan Road, the silver was received, and it must be on schedule, this Cao Si Mansion for a day, Fu Yin invited a day, and then we Xuzhou several big families still want to sing, or Cao Si spoke, only to this elephant shed, everyone has a blessing in the eyes, a few masters are careful of the steps, a little steep."

The private room set up at a height of more than one person is surrounded by heavy curtains, and a round table in the middle is already full of salty and sweet snacks, and a tea table is placed in the corner of the private room, and the stove teapot and tea are all available.

"This Caoji?" Seeing that the two men were lowering their hands, Chen Jiang looked at Zhu Xi and his voice was very low.

"The last few foreign appointments in front of the golden beggar's bones, this drama ...... Let's take a look first. ”

"Well, starting from this play, I'm afraid it's the mother's side. Watch the play first. Chen Jiang, like Zhu Xi, heard that now, his heart has settled down, he sat down left and right, took the tea and sipped it, and waited to listen to the play.

The hat show is short and festive, after the hat show, the curtain slowly opens, and the stage is arranged into a gloomy and misty wilderness cave, in the cave, a fox spits out words, and after talking to himself about the hatred of the past, the hatred expresses that he wants to harm the world and overthrow the court.

The curtain is up, and when it is opened again, it is a scene where a bewitching beauty is coincidentally meeting the emperor in a yellow robe.

Chen Jiang choked on a sip of tea, listened to it for a quarter of an hour or two, and suddenly choked and coughed out, he knew what was singing in this play, and he knew why he was singing this play.

Zhu Xi held the cup, stared widely, and looked at Chen Jiang from the stage.

Chen Jiang coughed and nodded at him non-stop, and nodded for a while before he spoke, "No wonder, the case of the past two years has ...... The case in the past two years ......"

"It's for this play." Zhu Xi answered with great certainty.

In the past two years, he and Chen Jiang have taken over all because of the big and small bows, which are widely implicated, and where they are involved, there is a bloody and miserable case.

Now, with this play.

"Be respectful." Zhu Xi approached Chen Jiang, looked at the stage, and said two words in a low voice.

"There is no room for sand in the eyes of the mother, this matter," Chen Jiang snorted on the stage, "This is a giant tree." There should be a saying, but it's a pity ......"

Later, Chen Jiang didn't say it, the big and small bows, the Jin Guifei who was crowned the queen of Duanjing after her death had a mistake, and the emperor had ten points, but this adulterous concubine could be dragged out to see and listen, but the emperor could only be whitewashed as a saint and stood there until the revision of the history book of the dynasty.

"Well, alas." Zhu Xi understood what Chen Jiang meant behind him, and sighed, "That's it, it's already extremely rare, in this world...... It's hard to get confused. Let's watch the play, the drama is sung well, the drama is very elegant, I don't know which of our writers. ”

……………………

In the capital, in the Funing Palace, Li Xia sat on the couch under the south window, looking at the two stacks of folds on the couch table one by one.

Li Xia opened a book, swept it with ten lines at a glance, put it aside, and then read the next one, and read it unhurriedly, the shadow of the sun was already slanting westward.

Li Xia got off the bed and instructed Hu Ying, "Put these away, I'll go to greet the emperor." ”

Hu Ying hurriedly instructed Tianqing to pack up the folds, took a cloak herself, called two little female envoys to follow, and accompanied Li Xia to the front to greet the emperor.

Niangniang is already pregnant, although it has been four months, the fetus has been firmly seated, but she is still careless, others follow, she is not at ease.

Li Xia wore a cloak and wrapped it slightly, her body was not bulky at this time, and sometimes she couldn't even see it, but this time it was much more comfortable than a while ago, and she was very willing to move around more.

The emperor had just left the Qinzheng Palace, and when he saw what Li Xia and Hu Ying were saying, he walked over slowly, hurriedly took a few steps to meet him, and looked down at Li Xia's stomach first, "You didn't vomit in the afternoon, did you?" Uncomfortable? It's windy outside......"

"Where is the wind?" Li Xia interrupted the emperor's words with a smile, stretched out his hand and tried it around.

"It's just that there's no wind, and it's still a little cold at this time, so it's not uncomfortable, right?" The emperor held Li Xia's waving hand and held her as he walked towards Funing Palace, and said with a smile.

"It's not uncomfortable for a while, I've just read a few excerpts." Li Xia looked up at the emperor and smiled.

"I just said humbly that I am going to hand it over tomorrow, which shows that Jin Guifei is neither surnamed Jin nor a member of the Jin clan." The emperor looked down at Li Xia.

"When this fold comes up, you can make an order, and this matter is done." Li Xia sighed, as if sighing, and as if relieved.

"Axia, thank you, for my mother." The emperor gently hugged Li Xia, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

"Your mother-in-law, but also my mother-in-law, if you want to say thank you, I should thank my mother, because of her, we can be like this. You see, how beautiful the sunset is, how beautiful the flowers are, and the two parrots, how good, they were given to us by my mother. ”

Li Xia looked up at the emperor, it was the mother who fulfilled her, and in her previous life and present life, she was fulfilled by her.
