Fan Baotong intercepted Jiang Zhong, waved his hand and retreated from the little guy who led the way, and said with a smile: "I have been practicing for two or three days, and I always need your team leader to personally give advice." ”

Jiang Zhong smiled and shook his head, followed Fan Baotong all the way, went around, came to a hall door, and saw a slender maid standing according to the door, but it was not fragrant, the maid saw Fan Chen and the others, first smiled and called Fan Baotong "Second Master", and then blessed Jiang Zhong: "Cardinal has seen Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Renzhong nodded, and Fan Baotong asked, "Sister Dong, Sister Zhuang, and Sister Meng have all arrived at Peach Blossom Courtyard?"

The cardinal followed Fan Baotong forward and told: "Only Miss Dong said that she was not feeling well and did not come, and the other girls have arrived." ”

Fan Baotong suddenly stopped, looked at the cardinal, and said, "Are you not feeling well?"

Cardinal shook his head and said "I don't know".

Fan Baotong thought for a while and said, "Cardinal, you take Mr. to the Peach Blossom Courtyard first, and I'll go see Miss Dong." Without waiting for the cardinal to agree, he turned around and walked hurriedly, and the cardinal screamed "hey", stomped his foot lightly, and muttered "This confused young master".

Jiang Zhong said: "Cardinal girl, you go and get busy first, I'll wait for him here." ”

Cardinal hesitated for a moment and said, "How can there be a reason for Mr. and other students, Mr. Chen will follow me to the Peach Blossom Courtyard." ”

Jiang Zhong's prestige of "a thousand words of gold" was spread most in the Fan Mansion, and on weekdays, I heard a few girls talk about Mr. Xiao Chen's couplet and the poem of "Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword", and they were all full of beautiful words, and Xiao Chen Gongzi not only succeeded in being the second young master's husband, but also the second young master seemed to be quite convinced of him, and did not try to drive him away as before, and did not hear a word of complaint behind his back, so he was both in awe and grateful to this Mr. Chen in his heart, but he didn't mind much to guide him alone.

After passing through the hall and coming to the Peach Blossom Courtyard, I saw a stage set up in the courtyard from a distance, with dozens of seats set up below, separated by a gauze curtain in the middle, through which you could see a group of young girls sitting on the opposite side, eating and chatting.

"Mr. Xiao Chen has arrived. The cardinal reported to the other side, and then the voice of chatting suddenly stopped, and a voice said, "Ask Mr. Chen's peace." Then he asked the cardinal, "Where is Baotong?"

Cardinal said, "I'm going to call Miss Dong." ”

"Okay, let's wait for Mr. Chen first, and use tea first. ”

Cardinals should be "yes".

At this time, I heard another girl with a slight Jiangnan accent asking, "Mr. Chen, I ask you a word, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

"Girl, excuse me. ”

"You are young, why do you have the sigh of 'going to stay unintentional' and 'pampering and not being surprised', it is inevitably old-fashioned and too indifferent. ”

Jiang Zhong said: "Just because I feel the living state of Mrs. Fan, I can't do it below." ”

There was a hum, a moment of silence, and then said, "That "Swordsman" is excellent. ”

"Thank you. ”

At the end of the conversation, listening to a whisper over there, Jiang Zhong took the teacup and drank tea, and suddenly heard the cardinal say: "Baotong and Miss Dong are here." ”

Jiang Zhong put down the teacup, and saw two more people on the opposite side, one was Fan Baotong's figure, and the other was a thin and thin girl, and heard Fan Baodao: "Now that everyone is here, you can start." ”

At this time, I heard the girl who spoke just now say: "Sister Dong's style is a little bigger, and the second brother will invite her in person." ”

Fan Baotong hurriedly said: "Sister Jian'e, don't talk nonsense, Sister Dong really doesn't feel well before she has to go back to rest, and besides, she has to eat the third sister's birthday banquet in the evening, which also means to recuperate." ”

Dong Shiyin sneered at each other: "Sister Jian'e says every day that 'ten years of sharpening a sword' is good, and I am curious if there are other poems, what will I say when I see the main master?"

Before the words fell, someone next to him interrupted in a low voice: "Mr. Chen has arrived, sit opposite." ”

Then he heard another person: "Baotong, go over there to accompany Mr. Chen, Sister Dong, Sister Jian'e, don't talk about the two of you, it's better to save your energy to guess the anagram at night, Caiyu, you go and tell them, teach to start." ”

Fan Baotong didn't know what to say, turned around from there, and said with a smile: "Let Mr. wait for a long time." ”

Jiang Zhong smiled and shook his head and asked, "Is this the first time to practice on stage?"

"Yes, except for Sister Dong, they don't know that this is your book. ”

"Hmm. ”

After a while, the flute and piano sound sounded melodiously on the stage, and a Hua Dan took the stage and lit up a tactful voice, and "The Peony Pavilion" officially opened.

The "Twelve Officials" of Fanfu are all opera troupes purchased from all over the country at high prices, and they are specially sung for the most distinguished guests of Fanfu, so they are first-class in terms of skill and appearance, and the lyrics of "Peony Pavilion" are rich and gorgeous, far-reaching artistic conception, and focus on lyricism, so singing has great appeal to the aristocratic sons and ladies of such an era.

"It turns out that the purple and red are blooming all over the place, and they seem to be paid to the broken wells and decay. Whose yard is the beautiful scenery of the day?"

The tunes and lyrics are all lingering, even Jiang Zhong, who has been nurtured by modern diversified entertainment methods, is inexplicably touched by it, not to mention Fan Baotong and the girls sitting opposite.

Fan Baotong was listening attentively here, and suddenly heard someone say: "Sister Dong, this opera story and lyrics are just fictional things, why are you sad and weeping for it?"

"Let Sister Zhuang and all the sisters laugh, I just didn't expect such a good article in the opera. ”

One person said in a low voice: "Could it be that Mr. Xiao Chen's book?"

"Yes. ”

"No wonder the little brother ......"

Jiang Zhongwen is brave and martial arts, and after this period of cultivation, his vision and hearing have soared again, even the whispers of the sisters on the other side can't escape his ears, but at this moment, he can only pretend not to hear it.

"This word is already wonderful, and with this song and this person, it is really ......"

Before he came out of the "really" reason, he suddenly saw Furong hurriedly running over and said, "Second young master, the master asked you and Mr. Xiao Chen to go, I heard the little guy who replied that it was someone from Prince Zhong's mansion." ”

When Fan Baotong heard this, he was taken aback and said, "'Really' afraid of something." ”

Jiang Zhong got up and said, "It's a blessing or a curse, let's go over and take a look." ”

Fan Baotong also called Mr. Chen to go over with him, and he was a little bolder, so he had to get up and go to the main hall with Jiang Zhong.

As soon as the two of them arrived in the hall, they saw that the second old man Fan Changfeng had an unkind face, and reprimanded Fan Baodao: "Damn the evil obstacle, you met His Royal Highness the Prince in Penglai, why didn't you come back and report to me immediately?"

Fan Baotong hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World went out on patrol in micro-service, and met me by chance, and he didn't say a few words, so there was no return." ”

Prince Zhong's Mansion came and said with a smile: "Childe doesn't have to hide it like this, His Royal Highness the Prince has explained that Gongzi and Lingshi have made a bet with my Prince Zhong's Mansion on behalf of Fan's Mansion and my Prince Zhong's Mansion, and dozens of guests in the store that day can testify, if my Prince Zhong's Mansion loses, His Royal Highness will give his most beloved folding fan to Lingshi, and worship 'Mr.', if your mansion loses...... Childe is going to resign from this little gentleman, and the other is going to give his gourd to His Highness, I wonder if Childe still remembers?"

When Fan Baotong heard this, he looked incredulous, shook his head and said: "It's just nonsense, nonsense, I really haven't said a word about what adults say." ”

The person who came sneered and said, "I have heard that the young master of Fan Mansion Hulu is famous, and when I saw it today, it really lived up to its name." ”

When Fan Changfeng heard this, he was immediately so angry that his eyebrows trembled, and before he could speak, the man said to Jiang Zhong: "Since Second Young Master Fan doesn't want to admit it, this son, as the second young master's husband, can you testify for me?"

Jiang Zhong nodded slightly and said, "It's true." ”

Fan Baotong shouted, "Mr. Chen!"

Fan Changfeng shouted: "Damn minion, the evil obstacle of homework! You have done a good ......."

The people from Prince Zhong's Mansion were also a little surprised, and then smiled and nodded, Jiang Zhong took the opportunity to say: "My lord, you don't have to pretend to be surprised, your mansion has already made all the arrangements, and you haven't left any chance to refute it, it's nothing more than wanting to use Prince Chen Guo to press the Fan Mansion, the so-called Queqiao Poetry Society's appointment with the poet of the Queqiao Poetry Society, I was in response to His Royal Highness the Prince at the time, but I only agreed in my personal capacity, and it has nothing to do with the Second Young Master Fan and the Fan Mansion. ”

Prince Zhong's mansion came to humanize: "What a good little gentleman who can speak well, it is useless for you and me to talk too much, it is better to call a few witnesses in, and you will know as soon as you ask." ”

Jiang Zhong said: "Oh, my lord thought so thoroughly, he even brought witnesses?"

"It's just to prevent this kind of situation, Second Master Fan, whether you want to pass a witness or not, you can decide with a word. ”

Fan Changfeng was reminded by Jiang Zhong's words, he was puzzled, he heard that he was about to summon a witness, and was about to answer, when he suddenly heard someone come to report: "Uncle Zhou is here." ”

Fan Changfeng knew that his father had something to say, and said, "Please." ”

After Zhou Da came in, he saluted first, and then said: "The old lady came with me to bring a message to the second master and the lord from the palace, this time the matters between Prince Zhong's Mansion and the Fan Mansion are all left to Mr. Xiao Chen to decide, and the master said, 'What Mr. Xiao Chen said is what I want to say'." ”

The chief historian of the palace was stunned when he heard this, and Fan Changfeng was also at a loss, but where did he dare to refute?

Jiang Zhong said: "Grandpa Zhou helped me thank the old man. Then he walked up to the chief historian and said: "Since the old man has delegated power so much, he has no choice but to do the right thing, and the adults don't need to pass on well-trained witnesses to come in, just bring a sentence for me to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World - 'Queqiao Poetry Society, see you and disperse'!"
