Chapter 49: The Workshop
It is said that women are easy to be happy and irritable during pregnancy, and Shi has also counted the glory of Zhu Lou and banquet guests. Thinking about the taste of the play, she must have tasted it a little bit. Mu Beiyi saw her feelings and stopped the teaching workshop: "What a good time to sing some such plays." ”
"The concubine was sad for a while." Shi Shi still had a crystal in the corner of his eyes, ate a sour fruit, and said, "Why don't you sing those happy endings like "On the Wall" now, so that people don't feel uncomfortable." The concubine's heart ached, Your Majesty didn't send these servants away! ”
Seeing such a scene, Concubine Qi said gently: "It's not to blame these servants, our majesty has always been lenient. What's more, the imperial concubine is sad to listen to, isn't she singing well? Nowadays, there have been no new plays and new songs in the teaching workshop for a long time, and there are also some old song and dance repertoire in a hurry. ”
Although Mu Beiyi couldn't bear to see Shi crying, in the end, the old singer sang really exquisitely, so he asked: "Where is the internal official who rehearses the play now?" ”
Feng Tang said: "The first emperor loved opera, singing and dancing, and there were 100 male actors, prostitutes and musicians. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, there have been few songs and dances and entertainment, and most of the old singers have been dismissed, and no new recruits have been recruited for several years. All of you are working in Taichang Temple, and you have moved out of the workshop to belong to the court, and now there are few people, and there is contempt. ”
Mu Beiyi groaned slightly, and then said: "The romance follows the story, and the laughter is new." The prosperous era is nothing but politeness and music, and although the teaching workshop is not subordinate to the previous dynasty, it is also royal decency in the end. Now it is better to re-enrich people. ”
The golden finches on Concubine Qi's skirt flashed: "That's good, Your Majesty asked." Zhen Wanyi has been proficient in the piano and pipa since she was a child, and she also studied under Mr. Li, who wrote tunes in the former Chao Jiaofang, isn't it the best? Your Majesty can ask Zhen Wanyi to choose a new prostitute, and you can also choose a few gentlemen who compose lyrics, compose music and write stories. ”
Shi's face was slightly cold, and he muttered something before he said aloud: "But Qin Zheng, none of the concubines of the Six Palaces know how to score." What Concubine Qi means is that only Zhen Wanyi is skilled, and everyone next to her is pretending? He leaned back in his chair and smiled disdainfully, "Interesting." ”
"I'm just going to say that." Mu Beiyi pointed at the case, "What does Concubine Ming think?" ”
Pillow Chun was shouted like this, stood up and looked around. Concubine Qi naturally wanted to take over everything under the name of her Xue family, and mastering the teaching workshop was not equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of Gongle. It is not clear what kind of feasts and sacrifices will be made in the future. The matter has been remembered by the Son of Heaven, if it is not Xue Chuling, who else can be competent? What's more, Xue Chuling is always better than Concubine Qi Shu herself, so she said: "How can a concubine know what to teach, she played with Konghou when she was a child, but she only knows some fur. Although the concubine was stupid, she listened to the female gentleman who taught Gong Hou that the song was wrong Zhou Langgu. We have Zhen Wanyi in the palace, and the song is not wrong and attracts His Majesty's frequent patronage. From this point of view, Zhen Wanyi's music is very moving, and the entire imperial city has produced talents, but there are few such beauty. The concubine thought that Zhen Wanyi was up to the task. ”
Shi Shi was a little dissatisfied, only looked at his increasingly heavy lower abdomen, and endured it alive.
Mu Beiyi listened to her interesting and said: "It can be seen that Zhen Wanyi knows music, and Ming Concubine knows people." Then he said, "The two of you co-sponsor the workshop, and you must prosper before the previous dynasty." ”
Xue Chuling glanced at Pillow Chun lightly, and made a happy look in an instant. The two of them received the decree together.
got such an errand, but Pillow Spring was a little troubled. side by side with Xue Chuling, he is also in the limelight, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at it.
Xue Chuling has been in favor since she entered the palace, and now she has never shown jealousy when she has let the pillow spring equinox go halfway. She has to act according to Concubine Qi's wishes, so that Concubine Qi Shufei can rest assured, relieved, and tolerated. And it is necessary to invite pets and pets, so that Mu Beiyi can think of it well and think beautifully. Such days are naturally difficult and hard, and I can't spare my mind to calculate for a while. Now Xue Chuling thinks that since he is becoming more and more favored, there must be tens of millions of people who want to calculate Qi Yunxuan, and Qi Yunxuan is now safe and sound, which shows that this concubine is also difficult to deal with.
There was still a little politeness on her face, and Xue Chuling came to look for her the next day.
Pillow Chun went out from the house to greet him, and saw Xue Chuling looking at the eightfold black dragon outside. She wore a very delicate eight-panel skirt embroidered with green embroidered branches, and gently pulled the ink-colored shawl, which was really good.
Pillow Chun called out to her: "The little master Zhen Wanyi is coming, and she is not welcome." ”
Xue Chuling came back to her senses, with an impeccable smile on her face: "Concubine Ming's qualifications are above me, why do you come out to greet me." With that, he entered the inner hall and took a seat.
Pillow Chun thought in his heart, the qualifications were only a few months old, where could he be counted above her. And because in the winter, Xue Chuling failed to win over Concubine Qi Shu, so there was no intersection. This private meeting was a bit awkward. He laughed dryly: "What did Zhen Wanyi come to teach her?" ”
Xue Chuling was really shrewd, and seeing that Pillow Chun didn't make a detour with her, he immediately said: "Concubine Ming is a cheerful person, and now His Majesty's will is to set up a teaching workshop, and the two of us have entrusted it to fulfill it...... Everybody's watching. I just want to negotiate with you so that we can implement it as soon as possible. ”
"Zhen Wanyi is above me." Pillow Chun showed her tea and served two plates of dim sum, "What Zhen Wanyi says, I can do it, how can I pay so much attention." ”
Xue Chuling saw that she was very good, so she wiped her lips with a silk and drank tea before saying, "If you are willing to be humble, I want to return to Your Majesty to announce that tomorrow, the Quartet will recruit the best talents." First of all, the innocent and capable ones will be selected by the teaching workshop of the Ye Ting Division, and then they will be sent to the two of us one by one for inspection. ”
"One by one?" Pillow Chun wondered, "Doesn't this cost a lot of energy?" "Willing?
Xue Chuling hesitated, and the misty eyes were very pitiful: "I'm also so worried, it's better for us to separate." As if he had carefully considered it, "I have been practicing music since I was a child, so it is better for me to select the servants and prostitutes, and test their singing skills, piano skills, and so on." He smiled again, "Your Majesty has shown that the concubine is good at knowing people, so you might as well choose a musician, a gentleman, and a steward." In this way, the soldiers are divided into two ways, and it is naturally faster. ”
Pillow Chun suddenly realized when he heard this, and he couldn't smile on his face: "It's really thoughtful." ”
When she Xue chose a prostitute, she sent all the beautiful and enchanting ones home, and did not give the artists in the workshop the slightest chance to climb out of bed. In this way, isn't the power still firmly in the hands of their Xue sisters. In the future, if there is anything that angers His Majesty, or if there is a place to anger His Majesty, or to track down the steward, to line dance, to write stories and songs, where will the pillow spring get out of it. Isn't that really thoughtful?
Xue Chuling saw that her face was not good, and said in a low voice: "In the end, it is also what Sister Yan means, it always takes a little hard to make a concubine." ”
The implication is that this matter was instructed by Concubine Qi Shu, where to put the beak of the pillow spring. Pillow Chun said in his heart, since he was a little concubine, he couldn't get along with her Concubine Qi on the face, so he had to force a smile and respond with his mouth.
In this way, the teaching workshop was enriched, and the selection of musicians and artists was widely advertised.
