Chapter 85: Five Hundred Runs
Gentleness has something to do these days, and the update is less. However, Monday will start three shifts a day, and I hope you can support it more at that time! Collections, recommendations, clicks, rewards, and evaluations are all indispensable!
……
Half an hour later, Xiangyun was finally asked to leave by Mrs. Xu, the owner of Cuihong Mansion, to make the most difficult preparations for the upcoming "out of the cabinet". In this half an hour, Li Anran enjoyed the charm of ancient singing and dancing.
With Li Anran's promise, although he still can't escape the experience of "leaving the cabinet", it is already a layer of protection for Xiangyun and Su Xiaomei. Therefore, the two also did their best when playing, singing and dancing, and staged an auditory and visual feast.
Especially Xiangyun's dancing posture, with that dress, it is indeed quite attractive. There is still a trace of temptation in the elegant and agile dancing, if it weren't for Li Anran, who was instigated by his college roommate to watch the "Love Love Action Movie" in modern time and space, it can be regarded as quite a bit of "skill", plus the Taoist kung fu that is small is not practiced in vain, and he will really react physiologically in the face of such a dance posture.
Not long after Xiangyun left the clouds, the Cuihong Building, which was originally relatively deserted, soon became lively. The high platform in the middle of the lobby dedicated to singing and dancing has also been renovated.
Although Li Anran's private room is on the second floor, the location is excellent. Not only can you have an unobstructed view of the situation in the lobby on the first floor, but it is also very close to the high seat bar.
As the number of guests increased, the entire hall of the Cuihong Mansion soon became full of warblers.
"Huh? They're coming, too? Li Anran, who was looking at the lively environment below with a wine glass, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when his eyes fell on the two people who had just come in, and said.
"Yo, it's Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can I have time to appreciate the light today, is it possible that I also saw Xiangyun?" Mrs. Xu, who was greeting the guests, hurriedly greeted the two people who had just come in and greeted them with a smile on her face.
"Huh...... This time I didn't come for Xiangyun, but for friends. Wu Chengen, who was round in shape, said with a smile.
As for Zheng Chenggong, who was standing on the side shaking a folding fan with his hand, a turbid and turbid son, he was too lazy to pay attention to a ** boss, it was too low.
"I see, two upstairs, please, the distinguished guest is in the private room upstairs." Mrs. Xu, who was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted to which friend the other party was referring to, and hurriedly called a subordinate to order someone to bring someone up.
It didn't take long for Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen to come to the door of the private room. However, the two did not go in directly, but politely sang a fat promise outside the door.
In the eyes of Mrs. Xu, she was surprised and more curious and cautious about someone's origin and background.
"I didn't expect Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu to come too, please take a seat." After finding out that the other party went upstairs and found his side directly, Li Anran knew that this must not be a coincidence, and hurriedly invited someone into the house and said with a smile.
"Please also ask the real person to forgive the sin." Zheng Chenggong, who was not in a hurry to sit down, suddenly gave a deep salute and said.
"Oh? What is Zheng Langjun's crime? Li Anran, who stood up with a smile and returned the salute, pretended not to know.
"The sin is concealing his identity, and if you think about it, the real person already knows that Lu Dao is not a shopkeeper, but a child of the Zheng family in Xingyang." After saluting, Zheng Chenggong said with a wry smile.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Being able to make friends with the dignified Xingyang Zheng family is also a fate for a certain person. Come on, come on, sit down first, it's just a trivial matter, why should Zheng Langjun worry. Seeing that the words had been said thoroughly, Li Anran didn't pretend to be confused anymore, and greeted with a smile.
Regarding the fact that the other party is a child of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Li Anran still learned from Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun before. At the beginning, I didn't take it seriously, but later I checked the Internet and found out that this Xingyang Zheng family is not a small family, but a big one. It is a famous family in the north from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is known as the five surnames and seven families together with the Boling Cui family, the Longxi Li family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Taiyuan Wang family.
Even after the changes into the Tang Dynasty, the Zheng family declined a lot compared with the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, but it still belonged to a famous family. It was only in the historical record that the implementation of the imperial examination system in the later period caused further impact, which eventually led to the gradual decline of the Zheng clan in Xingyang. However, in terms of the entire Zheng surname, the Xingyang Zheng family is still the most prominent one.
And although Zheng Chenggong is not a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he should really belong to a member of the side branch of the close line, otherwise he would not be arranged to be in charge of some business matters in Lantian County. But with the entire Xingyang Zheng family as a backer, and the fact that it does have real materials, ordinary people have to sell some face.
After hearing Zheng Chenggong's true identity, Li Anran understood that the other party was so big and small as Gu Bangcai, the commander of Lantian County. As for the shopkeeper Wu, it is said that he is doing things for a certain prince. Of course, what the specific situation is, with the information sources of Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, it is naturally impossible to know Lu Dao very clearly. Otherwise, with a small shopkeeper, he will not be able to get along with the dignity of a county on an equal footing.
After talking about Zheng Chenggong, the three people who sat together exchanged pleasantries. chatting and chatting, this topic came to Xiangyun, who was going to "go out of the cabinet" today.
When he heard that Li Anran wanted to help Xiangyun redeem himself, but Mrs. Xu didn't give any face at all, and still wanted to "leave the cabinet", Wu Chengen slapped the table in front of him, and Zheng Chenggong's face on the side suddenly sank.
"Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu don't be angry about this matter, each has their own fate, and Mrs. Xu also has Mrs. Xu's suffering. Xiaomei, don't pour wine for the two of you to go to the fire. Without waiting for Wu Fatzi to make a move, Li Anran hurriedly smiled and dissuaded.
"Yes, young master." Originally, Su Xiaomei, who still had some hopes that Zheng Chenggong and the others would appear to help her sister, couldn't help but swallow back the words that had come to her mouth after meeting her master's eyes.
In Su Xiaomei's pouring of wine, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen couldn't help but look at each other, although it was strange that someone didn't let themselves help for anything, but no one was a fool to sit in this seat, so the two of them didn't mention this matter again, but chatted while drinking wine, while waiting for the official start of "leaving the cabinet".
About half an hour later, that is, more than half an hour later, with a clear piano sound like flowing water, the hall of the Emerald Red Building, which was originally relatively noisy, quickly became quiet.
Li Anran, who was lying on the cushion diagonally, looked at Mrs. Xu, the owner of the Cuihong Building, standing on the high platform from an excellent angle, and for a moment really felt like watching entertainment programs in modern time and space.
In the chatting with Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen, I learned that this "out of the cabinet" is divided into two stages, one is that the Qing people who are about to leave the cabinet show their talents in public, according to the later generations, it is divided into four aspects: calligraphy and painting performance, playing music, singing and dancing, in addition to the fixed performance program, it will also be played on the spot according to the requirements of the audience. Of course, this kind of play is not free, and whoever wants to get the power to let Xiangyun perform has to pay a lot of money.
Compared with Li Anran's novelty feeling, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen are obviously not surprised by this "out of the cabinet". However, since someone's sense of rise rises, these two people naturally won't do anything to make a big difference. Not only did I introduce the whole process to you and I beside me, but by the way, I also made a more objective comment on Xiangyun who performed on stage later, and I didn't even call a girl.
To say that these ancient songs and piano songs are really just average for Li Anran, who is accustomed to the tunes of later generations, but the calligraphy, painting and dance are really good. Especially the latter, I don't know what Lu Dao is because of, Xiangyun, who is standing on the stage and performing, is obviously better than dancing in the private room before. Or to be more precise, more seductive.
After the fixed programs were performed one by one, the audience also ushered in a link where a program was randomly designated by the audience in the applause of the scene.
"Young Master......" After hearing the shouts from downstairs one after another, Su Xiaomei, who was becoming more and more unable to sit still, couldn't help but plead.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to sit idly by." Li Anran, who knew what the other party was thinking, reached out and pinched the other party's chin, and said with a smile.
At this time, the following asking price has soared from the initial 30 yuan to 100 yuan.
"Xiangling, go, just say that a certain wish will give five hundred." Relying on modern time and space, Li Anran, who was not short of money at all in Datang time and space, saw that the bidding had come to an end, so he opened his mouth and ordered.
"Yes, young master." Xiangling, who was summoned into the private room, hurriedly gave a shallow salute, and then walked outside and said, "The master of the slave is willing to give five hundred!" ”
"Wow!" As soon as the words fell, the entire Cuihong Mansion was in an uproar.
"Five hundred?!"
"Who is so generous?"
"I saw Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu go there before, shouldn't it be ......?"
"It's not appropriate, Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu only came with each other before, and they didn't bring their maidservants."
"I feel the same way, who would come to such a place and bring a maidservant?"
"So what's sacred?"
……
Xiangyun, who was standing on the stage, couldn't see anything abnormal, but after hearing the shouting of 500 guan and looking at it, he found that the person who opened his mouth was his sister Su Xiaomei's personal maidservant, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
