The jinshi in the apricot orchard are also preparing to watch the play in Ziyun Tower.

Yang Yucai got up, and suddenly a bow ball smashed into his face.

"Ouch!

When I looked up, I saw a few little ladies who were angry and scolding.

"Bullshit, an official slave with no eyes! I swear to you! ”

"Yes, from today onwards, Xue Bai is my mortal enemy!

Seeing this situation, Yang Yu suddenly felt relieved, and comforted himself in his heart, even if he won the champion and became a flower explorer, it may not be good. For example, is it a blessing for Xue Bai to marry Twenty-Three Niang?

"If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing."

On the other side, Li Jilan was so embarrassed when she saw them slandering Xue Bai, she was carried by the atmosphere of the Qujiang banquet today, and she lost her mind a little, so she couldn't help but go over to teach them a lesson.

"I beat them.

Jiaonu's eyes lit up, and she was a little surprised that this talented woman could say such a thing, so she hurriedly turned her head to look at Li Tengkong, and just waited for Seventeen Niang to nod, she was about to do it.

Remember the URL

"It's too late." Li Tengkong suddenly thought that he still had something to do, and hurriedly pulled Li Jilan away, "Hurry, don't delay" Oops. ”

The couple waited at the palace gate.

The two hurriedly ran to the Furong Garden, and the Kyauknu was still taking out the card charms, and they saw Li Shiniang and Yang Qixuan from a distance in front of them, "Where did you go?" Li Shiniang opened her mouth and said: "How can you not care about such a big thing at all?"

Li Tengkong was puzzled and asked, "Does Sister know what I'm doing?"

"How can you not know? Your filial piety is commendable, and you rehearse operas for grandpa and dedicate them to saints. Come with me, and we'll be about to begin. ”

Li Shiniang said, turned her head and glared at Yang Qixuan, and asked him to go to the guard Liangfu to pass.

Li Shiniang was very interested, and said: "The world knows that Grandpa is good at music and rhythm, since you can do this big thing, you can't help but make Grandpa famous, you are not good at this matter, I will go to the palace to say it in a while, my mouth is sweet." ”

"Okay."

"Ji Lanzi, your grandfather is Li Yushi, who was promoted due to the meritorious service of megalithosis, right? Don't worry, I won't forget your credit, and I'll say it for you then.

"Good.

"And you, seventeen, do you know that many little ladies at the Qujiang banquet today broke their heads? Grandpa's discernment, I have long fallen in love with this champion, but you can't make it, so you have to be the crown ..... women."

Li Jilan followed behind and listened to these chatters, glanced at Li Tengkong sympathetically, took her hand, and understood why she would rather become a Taoist priest.

When they reached the stage, the couple was gone, and they finally calmed down, but only for a moment.

Xue Bai was surrounded by the servants in the middle, and all he heard was "Xue Lang, what should I do?" "Obviously, everyone hates the father.

What is rare is that Xue Bai clearly does not understand the rhythm of music, and he does not panic when he is asked various questions, he calmly arranges, and can tell the reason from his singing, positioning, and movements, at least he calms everyone's emotions.

At this time, seeing that Li Tengkong had arrived, everyone turned around.

Fan Nu said: "Vacate the air, it can be counted, each sings three folds today, and takes turns to play, let us sing the first fold first!"

Xue Bai also smiled: "You are only not here for a while, I don't know what to do, but I know that you are the backbone." ”

Li Jilan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "I am fortunate to be able to help Mr. Shang." ”

Li Tengkong frowned and hurriedly arranged the musician.

"Concubine Lu, it's time to start the show, you can do a drum first, just a short paragraph...

After making proper arrangements, Xue Bai boarded the Ziyun Tower again, sat down silently, and waited for the opera to begin.

He looked at Yang Yuhuan and found that she was also looking at him, with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

The smile made him a little uneasy, worried that she wouldn't help, maybe because she didn't like the dress.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and now we just have to wait for the telling.

"I love music and rhythm, set up a pear orchard, and pass on three hundred disciples." Li Longji was in high spirits, "The champion Xue Bai is good at words and sentences, but he is a perfect match for me." It's a young man's heart, dare to compete with me, hahaha, how can the Son of Heaven bully a young man?

According to what Taizhen said, I have won a lot over him, and it is so much that you are convinced, and I will win. ”

"The saint is so courageous, the minister is willing to bet on an agate cup, and the saint will win." The first to make fun was Yang Chen.

Today's banquet is all the emperor's relatives and relatives, there are no important ministers, and there are not a few princes. It can be seen that Li Longji attaches great importance to this matter and will not let those people disturb his interest.

Zhang Po is a wonderful person who understands Li Longji's mind better, and bet on a guqin to bet on Xue Bai to win, after all, it is interesting to be evenly matched.

Yang Zhao is even better at this kind of occasion, and a few words will drive the atmosphere.

"The minister took a look, Li Guinian, Gongsun Auntie and others were not in the palace, presumably the saint was ruthless, and the minister was detained

Sage.......

Li Longji was in a better mood, Lang smiled and waved his hand, and the play began.

The first fold will be sung by the team on Xue Bai's side first, and it will be sung until Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying meet.

The stage was set up outside the Ziyun Tower, and the curtain had already closed. At this time, the curtain was not opened, but the sound of drums was heard first.

"Knock knock."

"How deep is the courtyard? The willows pile up smoke, and the curtain has no repetition! ”

A high-pitched female voice sounded, and the curtain slowly opened.

At this moment, Li Longji had already stood up, took two steps forward, and looked for the source of the drum with a sharp gaze.

He then pointed at Xue Bai and said, "Good for you, you have written the drama and added words to it." ”

After scolding, he quickly looked at the stage.

"The piano and the beard are not bad."

The first to appear was Pang Sanniang, who was dressed as Lao Dan.

No one knows what kind of mood she felt after struggling for all these years, and finally sang in front of the Son of Heaven, but at this time, there was only the grace and nobility of Mrs. Cui on that makeup-made face.

Her lyrics are extremely long, and she can sing in a low tone, which makes Li Longji admire.

After recounting her life experience, Pang Sanniang raised her hand and walked, and sang: "In the late spring weather, I am so tired and sleepy, I can't help but call the matchmaker to come out and tell her." Where is the matchmaker?

As soon as the music changed, Fan Nu appeared as a matchmaker.

In the hall, Yang Zhao and the others' eyes lit up, and their bodies couldn't help but lean forward.

Li Yanniang's waist twisted, and she immediately pinched Yang Huan's leg fiercely, glaring at Yang Huan warningly.

"Take the little lady to play back."

"Strict orders.

Seeing that the matchmaker was going to invite the little lady, everyone looked forward to it more and more, thinking that the matchmaker was already so beautiful, but they didn't know how stunning Cui Yingying was?

However, between the curtains and the pull, it was Zhang Sheng who appeared first, and before anyone came out, the sound came first.

"The horses of the Chang'an Ancient Road are late, and the high willows are neighing!"

As soon as this singing voice came out, Li Longji immediately grinned, raised his hand and pointed at Xue Bai again, and said, "Cunning like a fox." ”

Others didn't know what this meant, and it wasn't until the dashing Zhang Sheng sang a half-fold play that no one was surprised.

"It's actually the county lord of Hezheng?!"

"Really? The skill of the county lord's music and rhythm has been passed on by the saint. ”

Thinking about it again, only Li Yuesu dared to pretend to be a merry and talented man in front of the saint, and if he was any man, he was afraid that he would be restrained at this time.

After a while, the curtain was closed and opened, and everyone knew that Cui Yingying was about to appear, and they waited with bated breath.

A coquettish cry came, Yang Zhao was thrilled when he heard it, most of his bones were crispy, and he squinted at it, what a delicate little beauty.

This time, even Li Yanniang was stunned and forgot to warn her colt.

I saw that on the stage, Cui Yingyinglian moved lightly, and was about to come to the middle of the stage, when she bumped into Zhang Sheng, walked away shyly, and sang: "I am bumping into the injustice of the romance five hundred years ago!"

The only lyrics are already shocking.

What's even more surprising is that Zhang Sheng then praised Cui Yingying's beautiful lyrics.

"The treasure bun is more suitable for the palace, the lotus face is tender, and the body is red and fragrant. Eyebrows don't need to be open, Tianjiao enters the temples..... I die!

It actually used "Good Times", which was written by the saint himself.

Xue Bai calmly took a sip of wine, thinking that Li Longji should have been very satisfied with the singing of the drama here.

Then even if he loses, Li Longji will give him a marriage, and if he doesn't accept it, he will probably not die, and at most he may be exiled.

It can be seen that you still have to have a higher official position, and if you make a mistake, you can be demoted to Changshi and Sima.

"Shaft, some skills."

The first fold of the scene ended, and the second fold was the turn of the pear orchard, Li Longji's face was more solemn, but he was still quite confident, and said, "Look at it."

Compared with Xue Baipai's play, Li Longji's rehearsal is obviously more complete, the singing is more comfortable, and the musicians and Youling are also famous in the world.

Li Guinian plays the piano, Gongsun Auntie plays Mrs. Cui, Xie Aman plays the matchmaker, Xu Hezi plays Cui Yingying, and Zhang Sheng is played by Li Zhen, the heir of Qi who resembles Li Longji.

Li Zhen is Li Longji's nephew, he is in his thirties, and he looks very much like Li Longji when he was young, much more like many of his own sons, and he is very good at music, so he got this opportunity.

In short, these people are the most professional, and each of them can be said to have a singing skill as high as a cloud.

They also modified some of the words in the play that were not smooth, and they became smoother....... but they didn't have the lively and colorful singing of the Xue Yuan Opera Troupe.

Looking at it individually, Gongsun Auntie, Xie Aman, Xu Hezimei, Li Zhen are majestic and chic, and they all sing around the beam, and they don't stop for three days. can be seen together, Xu Hezi and Li Zhen do not have that feeling.

What do you say about that feeling? Although Xue Bai didn't know much about the rhythm, he could find that Li Yuesu really liked Niannu, and every time he sang lyrics to Niannu, it was like wanting to hold her and stick her.

In comparison, he thinks that Li Longji's rehearsal of this play is too elegant and lacks a sense of stage.

But he did not know how the people in the temple felt, and they cheered loudly, much more enthusiastically than before.

Yang Zhao really admired Xu Hezi, and he was excited every time she sang a word; Yang Wei and Li Zhen have an excellent personal relationship, and they stroked their palms vigorously...... It seems that these people appreciate the rhythm very well.

After singing this play, Xue Bai looked at Yang Yuhuan, and saw that she was whispering something with Li Longji, and her demeanor seemed very professional, and they were serious about music and opera.

Li Longji's face was solemn, perhaps he was keenly aware that the reaction of the ministers was a little false, or maybe he had a new understanding of opera.

"Knock knock!

At the beginning of the third play, Lu Yuanzhen's drum skills were fully released.

On the stage, Mrs. Cui was angry, the drums were getting louder and faster, accompanied by Dong Tinglan's piano, as if she was going straight to the clouds.

In this regard, Li Longji couldn't sit still, stood there and watched, the excitement in his eyes became stronger, and when the third fold was finished, he suddenly shouted.

"Come on the drums!

Everyone in the hall was taken aback, and Gao Lishi hurriedly went to arrange for someone to bring the saint's drum.

Li Longji shook his hand and said, "I will go to the stage to fight." ”

"This ...... Sage Ninety-Five Supreme ......'

"Hurry up and make arrangements."

Li Longji was in high spirits and was not dissuaded at all. This fold is written about the rebels killed, and it is just time for him to beat the drum and compete with the drummer.

"Boom!

With the sound of the drum, no one in the hall dared to sit and watch, and they all got up to watch.

As a result, everyone in the entire Liyuan Opera Troupe was also excited, and Li Zhen's singing became louder and louder.

"Therefore, I know that the tiger eats the sky, looks at the sky, and the great virtue is always good!

"Room room room knock knock...

"Xue Lang must lose."

Li Shiniang couldn't help but lean to Xue Bai's side and said in a low voice: "Not only does everyone think that the saint's play is better, but the saint has reached this point, how can you still win?"

At this time, everyone was standing, and Yang Qixuan was not far in front of them, blocking the sight of others for them.

"What advice does Eleven Niang have?

"It's simple, if the saint wants to give you a marriage, you can directly ask to marry Seventeen Niang."

Xue Bai shook his head.

Li Shiniang prepared a speech and said in a low voice: "Except for the right minister, no one dares to fight with the clan. Don't you think that the Yang Party is reliable, once you offend more people, do you think they will protect you? If it weren't for my grandfather to protect you this time, Yang Zhao would have already done it

You sold. And if you want to be an official, you can't get around the officials, and being the son-in-law of the right minister will have far more benefits than you expected. ”

Ahead, Yang Qixuan glanced sideways.

"Hey.

Li Shiniang pursed her red lips and smiled slightly, intentionally or unintentionally pasted Xue Bai, and said, "You think about it, it's better than marrying a clan." ”

A mother looked at the red lips slightly,

He posted a post without interest, and said, "You are more attentive than Anshi." ”

"In a moment, will you ask the saint for credit?" Xue Bai asked.

"How about you and me together?

Xue Bai said: "I just wrote the lyrics of the play, and the rehearsal is all the credit of the vacant son, and the eleventh mother asks the sage for credit" What? Want to escape? Can you escape?

It doesn't matter, as long as the right minister gets this benefit. ”

Now that Li Longji arrived on the stage, Xue Bai confessed to the eunuch in the palace, and also left the palace and prepared to go to the stage to prepare.

Before leaving, he glanced at Yang Yuyao and made a look.

Out of the main hall, around the stairs behind which no one was moving, Xue Bai went down halfway, chose a dark place that the guards couldn't see, and stood still, waiting for Yang Yuyao.

In the distance, you can still hear the drums getting more and more intense, that is Li Longji and Lu Yuanzhen rarely meet opponents, and they are more energetic.

After waiting for a while, several figures appeared by candlelight, among which the slender figure in the skirt raised her hand, stopped the maid behind her, and walked alone to the stairs with the hem of her skirt.

Before the people arrived, the incense came first.

After taking a few steps, she snorted softly because of the darkness below.

"Yu Yao."

"Who is your Yuyao?

"I've seen the concubine, it's rude."

"What? I'm not your sister-in-law anymore. ”

"Yes, Sister be careful.

Xue Bai helped Yang Yuhuan's arm slightly, and the skin under the light veil was smooth.

He turned his head to look, and could faintly see Yang Yuyao's shadow in the corridor above the stairs, covering for them to speak.

"I'm here to talk to you face to face, and I can't judge you to win." Yang Yuhuan said, "Who taught you to find a drum master who is too good, so that the saints are all out of the field in person, I can't help it." ”

Although Xue Bai had a plan, he didn't say anything at this time, but said, "Please also ask Sister to save me." ”

In the dimness, I faintly saw Yang Yuhuan covering his mouth and smiling, and his voice was crisp.

"What's wrong with a saint giving you a marriage? Can you use the word 'save'? ”

"I really can't marry a clan.......

"Then who do you want to marry?" Yang Yuhuan asked, "You have to lose, just don't save the face of the saint." The marriage is to say yes, say who you want to marry, and I will arrange it for you. ”

Xue Bai was stunned, but he couldn't speak.

"What?" Yang Yuhuan felt more and more interesting, and teased him: "Champion Lang doesn't have a sweetheart? ”

As soon as she approached, Xue Bai was inexplicably a little cramped.

At this moment, the drumming in the distance suddenly stopped.

Yang Yuhuan turned around to leave, remembering that the matter had not yet been finished, and urged: "You say it quickly." ”

Xue Bai actually had a candidate in his heart, and when he was urged by her, he almost wanted to say it, but he immediately swallowed it back. After all

If you haven't asked the other party's intentions, how can you directly ask the Son of Heaven for marriage.

"It's good not to lose or win.

"Huh?" Yang Yuhuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Understood, I'll arrange it later." I also want to ask you Bai Suzhen, next time.

With that, she trotted up the stairs with the hem of her skirt.

"Sister be careful.

Yang Yuhuan had already arrived in the candlelight, smiled back, did not speak, and walked away, leaving only a burst of fragrant wind still on the tip of Xue Bai's nose.

Xue Bai walked down the somewhat dark staircase and muttered softly.

Looking back, he smiled.

At night, Li Linfu had not yet slept, and was still handling the affairs in the conference hall, while waiting for the news from Ziyunlou.

It wasn't until the third watch that Cangbi arrived in a hurry.

"Ah Lang, Eleven Niang came overnight.

Before the words were finished, Li Shiniang had already rushed over and said, "Grandpa, the opera is singing." ”

"How?

"It's really fresh, my daughter has never seen such an opera, after the competition, the saint is still in Ziyun Tower, and he has to watch the play all night."

"So, Seventeen Niang is a great achievement?"

"The daughter said that it was the grandfather who personally went to Yuzhenguan to tell the seventeenth to rehearse for the saint.

The father and daughter also had a tacit understanding, and first determined the gains brought by this matter, and Li Linfu asked, "How is the victory?"

"The concubine brought a bowl of water and put it on the desk, saying that the two sides were invincible, and the saint did not give Xue Bai a marriage, nor did Xue Bai ask for an official." Li Shiniang said proudly: "In the end, I was the only one who reported to the saint and carefully explained Grandpa's teaching to us on music and rhythm.

In this regard, Li Linfu was satisfied, and asked with a twisted beard: "What did Xue Bai say?" ”

He said that Grandpa knew his mind.

"This is to prepare for the official test." Li Linfu sneered, "Shaft....... old and calculating. ”

In the end, he changed his words and looked serious.

"What does Grandpa mean? Xue Bai didn't get anything. ”

"I didn't get the bet, but don't forget, I haven't been rewarded for the merit of the opera. Don't be blinded by a gambling game, the gambling game is just a joke. With the generosity of the saint, as long as you like this play, how can you not reward him? It seemed to be a tie, but in fact, Xue Bai won. ”

Li Shiniang was stunned for a moment and muttered, "This ...... The daughter didn't expect it. ”

He first sold the old man a little benefit, so as to pass the official examination and get an official position. In a few days, the saint will come back to his senses from the opera and remember his goodness, but I am afraid that he will not only give officials, but also many rewards, and the shaft will have a good calculation.

Li Linfu sneered and flicked it casually, there was really an abacus on the table.

The one given by Xue Bai has been transferred to the sage, this is the one he reproduced, and it is still engraved with "The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle".
