Chapter 51: The male protagonist you want (doesn't) join the group
When Peach Blossom heard this, her face showed two points of disdain: "That Zhen Wanyi is also a shrewd person, and the choice is also a bit enchanting." Saying that, he became more and more dissatisfied, "But they are all lower girls." ”
Pillow Chun's expression was Ling: "Daughter? Can you inquire clearly? ”
Peach Blossom nodded, and then gave the pillow spring cloth vegetables: "The slave saw it with her own eyes, and asked it herself." The selected prostitutes were the daughters of criminals, entertainers recruited from the frontier lands, or orchids. The other two are either bewitching and charming, or they are humble. In this year's selection, there were some well-known female artists, innocent pianists, and famous singers in Lejing, but none of them remained. Isn't this a tyrannical thing! I heard that those who are famous and have families have not been selected! ”
"Yo." I don't know if it was Concubine Qi Shu's instructions, or Xue Chuling's own idea, it was also powerful. Pillow Chun praised, "It's really thoughtful, it's really good." ”
Peach Blossom was puzzled, but she was a little angry, and her eyes were round: "Why is it good, this girl is from a low background, and she is not as good as the slaves and maids." Entering the harem, wouldn't it dirty the eyes of the masters. ”
"That's exactly what it's good for." Pillow Chun explained, "I thought that she Xue would choose something ordinary-looking. But the artists always have to sing and act in front of His Majesty, if all of them are not good-looking, it is inevitable that they will be jealous and refuse to tolerate the teaching workshop. As he spoke, he smiled, "It's good, it's all women." Even if Your Majesty sees the fate of the eyes, even if you are lucky once or twice, it will not hurt. This question, the status of the prostitutes is really low, and there is no reason to leave heirs and give status. And because she Xue Chuling appointed a woman to join the teaching workshop, the folk will also say that this recruitment of artists, the teaching workshop accepts talents from all walks of life, and praises a broad-minded sentence. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Peach Blossom suddenly realized and understood the trick: "This is amazing." In this way, this Zhen Wanyi still has some means. ”
Pillow Chun ate two pieces of boneless fish fillet, only to feel that the weather was hot and stuffy, and he had no appetite in the bitter summer. She frowned and put down the spoon, took two sips of tea, and said lazily: "Not really, I'm just afraid that although she is smart, she has mistaken the pulse of our majesty." Our Majesty is thoughtful, even if he understands these little things, he doesn't bother to say anything, and whether he likes it or not is just a matter of His Majesty's words. But if among these lower daughters, there is really one who has entered the eyes of our Majesty, and it is a female official and concubine, who can screw the meaning of our Majesty. ”
So I said this, and I was a little sleepy. Pillow Spring slept lightly on the couch for half an hour, the ups and downs of the dream and the uncertainty of the heart, and woke up the acquaintance outside the window. She simply straightened her hair, got up and pushed the window to look at the sunlight outside, reflecting the bright and extraordinary bricks and tiles of the palace wall. This photo made his heart irritable, and he went out to make the waiter go out and stick to it. As she was instructing, she saw from a distance outside the side hall that behind the small square under the scorching sun outside the side hall, dozens of musicians were waiting for her to choose.
The musicians were all different in height, short, fat and thin, and each had their own musical instruments.
At the end of the line, under the dazzling sunlight, a tall white-clothed musician carried a crested lute. The musician was slender, broad-shouldered, and his hair was a rare pale chestnut color, loosely tied around his back, tied with a red rope. At this glance, although I couldn't see my face, I only saw a neck that was almost transparent, and his clothes were like cranes, phoenixes, clouds, and smoke. When I think about it like this, I feel that it would be a pity if such a dignified person was tanned.
Pillow Chun hurriedly closed the window, and then passed the waiter to hang the curtain in the side hall, saying that he would continue to select musicians.
With such a strong spirit, he read dozens of people, leaving behind a famous craftsman who plays the basket and drums, and a woman who can rehearse the play. And there was no more.
Pillow Chun became more and more tired, and his expression was sad. By the time the last group entered, the sun had set. The incense in the beast's head emitted white threads, and when she touched her stomach, she was hungry again. He moved impatiently, and looked through the tent, only to see a vague figure shaking.
said that a group of people came in, and in the end there were only two left.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and a pipa artist with chestnut hair in white clothes.
The attendant read: "Ji Zhaoye and Ji Sanqing will meet you." ”
The two of them saluted, and then listened to the young man's words: "Ji Zhaoye, the grass people, used to be a juggler in the art troupe, and he has traveled to many places. Later, the art team broke up and was picked up by the master. The grass people have no father and no mother, their original name is Ergouzi, and their name is given by the master! Meet...... Knock on the ...... I've seen the little master of the Ming Concubine! ”
Pillow Chun heard him say that he was not in the world, and he twisted his handkerchief behind the curtain to cover his lips and laughed: "You don't have to be nervous, this master is the same age as you, why should you be afraid of me." What will you do? ”
The young man named Ji Zhaoye listened, then looked up and said suspiciously: "Others only said that the one who chose music today was the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, and I thought it was a half-old lady!" ”
Su Bai immediately scolded: "Presumptuous! ”
Ji Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head again: "The grass people know that they are wrong. Back to the little master of the Ming concubine, the master taught the grass people sword dance and halberd dance. ”
"Oh?" Pillow Chun was surprised when he heard it, "You have learned strangely, I don't know who the master is?" ”
The young man with white clothes and chestnut hair on the side said lightly: "The grass people are their masters." ”
This person's voice was low but clear, like a bell chime.
Pillow Chun's eyes swept away, and he saw a vague slender figure behind the curtain, and in a trance, he felt that this person was as tall and beautiful as a jade tree, and asked, "Your name is Ji Sanqing?" The Ji family is scarce, you are a Hu person. ”
"Exactly." The man saluted and hugged the pipa horizontally, "The grass people are the Mobei Su Xi clan, and they once had the surname Mu in the Murong Department, called Mu Sanqing. Later, the Han people set up the capital to protect the mansion, and the emperor's name was committed, so he changed the Han surname to Ji Xi. ”
Pillow Chun nodded, and said: "In the end, the Han people have strict rules, so there are so many taboos. But if you want to say your name, the surname Ji is not in the way. She groaned slightly, and then said, "In our Han books, Sanqing is the name of the god in the sky, and it is the god who is in charge of the mystery of time, the forgetfulness of the Taishang, and the catastrophe of life and death, which is very powerful." If you call this in the palace, it will be right in the presence of the Lord. But if someone with a heart listens to you and says it in front of His Majesty, it will not be easy to do. Ignorance...... I don't know if you have a font size? ”
The man replied softly, "Words are nothing." ”
Pillow Chun instructed, "Then it will be easy." You are a musician, others call you Mr. Nothingness, if someone wants to give you a name, you just have to say something like Ji Nothingness. Mu Sanqing is such a name...... Where can the royal family hear, you have to hide it. ”
Ji Wuwu understood, and he was not angry or happy, so he should go.
Seeing that he was gentle and cautious, Pillow Chun already felt that the two points were acceptable, so he said: "Since you hold the pipa, you are a person who can play music." But your apprentice said that you can dance with a sword and a halberd. It's better for the two of you to hold a weapon and try to show the master, and the master can also weigh it. ”
