Ziyun Tower, the music on the stage has not stopped.

The more interested the saint became, the more he was able to immerse himself in the charm of the opera, and he picked a few folds of the plays he liked and asked both teams to sing them to him.

Li Shiniang had already left in advance, Xue Bai suddenly felt a lot quieter, although she only said a few words in this lively scene, but it was very strange, as long as she stood there it looked noisy.

Yang Qixuan saw that his wife was not there, and suddenly came to life, came to Yang Xun's side with a wine glass, and secretly said some meat words with a hippie smile. The two were glared at by Li Yanniang a few more times.

Zhang We looked at this scene and smiled bitterly, and took the opportunity to talk to Xue Bai and said in a low voice: "Look at them, they still think that the right girl and the eighteen niang are rude, but I don't know that their little temper is just coquettish." ”

Xue Bai said: "It seems that everyone has a different perception of Jiaohan.

The reason why I said this to Xue Bai was because Zhang had an intuition, and Xue Bai understood him.

"Although you are young, you are actually more mature than them."

"I've rolled in the suffering, and I have more experience."

"Really?" Zhang asked, "I thought you had been kept in a deep house." ”

Xue Bai asked rhetorically: "Shouldn't this matter be asked to Zhang Yuma?"

Remember https://m in a second.

Suddenly, a flute sounded, and everyone noticed that Li Longji had rested enough to speak, and they all quieted down and listened.

"Haha, it's time to sing "Farewell to the Long Pavilion"." Li Longji said: "According to me, in the whole play, only this fold is written by Zhuangyuanlang himself.

Xue Bai responded: "The sage is wise, and the insight is like watching the fire.

Li Longji couldn't help but be proud, it can be seen that his art appreciation ability is indeed high, and he actually beckoned Xue Bai to watch the play next to him.

Xue Bai didn't refuse, and in front of everyone's eyes, he walked five steps behind Li Longji, and he could talk about opera without being too out of line.

Li Longji sneered: "The shaft knows how to measure.

Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but turn his head sideways and glanced at Xue Bai, because he knew that what the sage was talking about was actually a gambling game, and the sage knew that Xue Bai had sold a face.

Betting is not to win the saint, it is like playing a small game with a beautiful little lady, and the purpose is not to win, Xue Bai has always been very clear in this regard.

After offering a play, go here and stop, everyone naturally knows that he has made the emperor happy, he doesn't need a reward tonight, he wants an official position, does anyone dare to embarrass him when the official department exams?

The meaning of the gambling game is more in Yang Yuhuan's smile this time.

"Fill your chest with troubles all over the world, how can you afford to carry these big and small cars?!"

When Xue Bai came back to his senses, on the stage, Xu Hezi had already sung the last sentence, and Xie Aman quickly exited the curtain call.

Although Li Longji's interest was still very high, the people were already tired, and he ordered all the servants to be brought to the palace, each with a reward, and after all, taking off his makeup and dressing up in the palace was different from being on the stage.

The worshippers in Liyuan are all those people who were common in the past, but Xue Yuan's side is all facing the saint for the first time, and they are so nervous that they don't say, "Which one is the drum master?"

Li Longji saw Lu Yuanzhen at a glance, and when he looked closely, he couldn't believe that it was really a gray-haired old woman, so he didn't look at Xue Bai.

"It's Concubine Lu." Xue Bai said.

Li Longji actually stepped forward in person, helped Lu Yuanzhen up, and sighed: "With such drum skills, I have never heard your name?"

Your Majesty. The old woman was already crying tears when she opened her mouth, "The slave name Lu Yuanzhen ........ Jingyun years, and she has a slight name. ”

"Jingyun years?" Li Longji pondered for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I was in the mansion, and I once heard that there was an artist in Beijing, who put water above his head, beat a drum and the water did not tilt, but you?"

"It's the slave family, when His Majesty called him, the slave family didn't dare to slack off, but he offended the ..... of the sect and made it dazzling for thirty-seven years before he could see the face of the sky!

Thirty-seven years ago, Lu Yuanzhen was twenty-eight and beautiful, and if she was lucky enough to enter the palace, she might have a place among the concubines, and one of the princes might be for her.

Today, she looks over seventy years old, and she seems to be a generation older than Li Longji. No amount of reward can bring back thirty-seven years.

Of course, depending on what she thinks, it may not be good to live a lifetime in the deep palace.

At this time, it was Li Longji who was even more emotional, and sighed: "Such drum art, the pearl is covered with dust, I should reward you and reward you!"

After that, he looked at Dong Tinglan and said to Xue Bai: "There are still such musicians among the people, where did the shaft come from?"

"Mr. Dong is a late bloomer, and I was lucky to meet him.

"All of them can be enshrined in Miyagi.

"Thank you for the grace of the saints." Dong Tinglan hurriedly saluted.

But he didn't know that he would not wander around the palace today, and Gao Shi would not be able to write poems for him to say goodbye.

After appreciating the musicians, Li Longji turned to the servants, first with a blank face, pointing at Li Yuesu and scolding: "As the granddaughter of the emperor, I only know nonsense." ”

Since he has scolded this granddaughter, he will not let others criticize her in the future.

Li Yuesu also knew that the saint was not angry, and responded: "Does the saint think his granddaughter sings well?" ”

"Not bad."

Li Yuesu then said coquettishly: "Then can you allow your granddaughter to mess around for a while?"

Li Longji knew that she didn't want to become a pawn in the East Palace to attract talents, so he suddenly felt pity, smiled kindly, and agreed.

He glanced around the servants, and asked Pang Sanniang, "Are you pretending to be Mrs. Cui?" It's so young. ”

Pang Sanniang is usually called "selling fake faces", pretending to be young and smiling, this is the first time that she has been called young after removing her makeup, and she has been grateful again and again.

The slave kneeling among all the people is a little eye-catching.

Li Longji had already noticed her, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "This girl is delicate, her eyes are charming, and her singing voice is tactful above the morning glow. yes, yes. ”

His affection is overflowing, and he is full of praise.

At this moment, Fan Nu gently pushed Nian Nu and reminded in a low voice: "The saint praises you, don't you thank you?" ”

"The slave family thanks the grace of the saints.

Li Longji's eyes fell on Fan Nu again, and found that this woman was both talented and beautiful, and it was rare for Fang Cai to play the matchmaker to perform that simple and loyal feeling, but at this time, removing makeup was another style.

Looking at Fan Nu's age again, he couldn't help but wonder, such a stunner, how dare the teaching workshop not let her go to the stage in front of the palace for many years?

"Little matchmaker, are you performing for me for the first time?

Fan Nu was not small at all, her posture swayed slightly, and she bowed her head and responded: "The workshop does not allow slaves to perform for saints. ”

"Why?

Fan Nu bowed her head in shame and whispered a whisper.

"The slave has some armpits....'

Her voice was too small, Li Longji actually leaned over to listen, and after hearing it, his eyes froze, and he glanced deeply at Fan Nu.

Colliers immediately realized, thinking to himself what kind of beauty the saint had never seen? Nowadays, it is inevitable to like some novel, quirky tricks.

Seeing this scene, the first person to get nervous was Wang Zhun.

Wang Zhun used to go to the workshop to play, and he also had some small intersections with Fan Nu, and at this time he keenly felt the change in the attitude of the saint, for fear that if Fan Nu entered the palace, she would chew the root of her tongue in the saint's ear.

Fortunately, in recent years, the saint has treated the musician differently than when he was young, and once said that he "does not want to take away the prosperity of the chivalrous tour", and then rarely put the musician in the palace again, and today he did not make an exception in public, but just patted Gao Lishi's arm, suggesting that he arranged it privately.

At dawn, a feast for watching the play was dispersed.

The saint loves opera, and after today, I don't know how many operas will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Chang'an has a few more famous corners, and there are a few more worshippers in the palace.

As far as Xue Bai is concerned, if there is another big event, Lu Yuanzhen and Dong Tinglan will definitely help him quietly.

While the banquet was lively, the back of the stage seemed very quiet.

Li Tengkong sat with his eyes closed and recuperated, looking like he had no quarrel with the world.

As far as she is concerned, this time she has only helped her friend once, and as for merit and grace, it is not what she wants.

Even his gratitude doesn't matter to her, what matters is her own state of mind........

"Vacate the air.

Suddenly, she heard a soft call, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face in front of her, and her mood was immediately confused.

"Thank you." Xue Bai said: "I stayed up all night and worked hard. ”

Li Tengkong looked at him for a while, shook his head, smiled calmly, and said, "It's good that no one forces you to get married."

"No, go back.

The two have a very tacit understanding, and they know each other's attitude when it comes to marriage, and they tacitly know it.

At this time, Li Jilan and Mian'er were asleep, so they had to ask the Kyauuk slave to wake them up, and everyone left together.

For the time being, the musicians and the servants will still go back to Xue Yuan, waiting for the arrangement, both to go to Xuanyang Fang, since they and Yang Yu came out of Furong Garden, Nian Nu ran to Xue Bai, and asked a little nervously: "Can we still stay in Xue Yuan in the future?"

Or they will be sent back to the church.

She was originally a teacher in the workshop, but she was seconded to rehearse the play, and she was inevitably worried at this time.

Xue Bai asked, "Look where you want to go, why don't you mention it to the sage?" ”

In fact, I have said beforehand that if you want something, just ask the saint for reward.

Lu Yuanzhen and Dong Tinglan hope to enshrine the good pension in the palace; Pang Sanniang wants to work in the teaching workshop to become famous; Li Yuesu also knows that she will marry a few years later and ask for a comfortable one; Fan Nu's mind is unclear and a little ambiguous.

Only Nian Nu seems to have really forgotten, and at this time he can care about his future.

"That'...... Can the slave family go anywhere they want? Niannu raised his head and looked at Xue Bai in a daze.

Yang Yuyao listened to it funny on the side, and said angrily: "I'm just coming to tell him now, how many places can he send you?" ”

"Can the slave family stay in Xue Yuan?"

"Little fool." Yang Yuyao said angrily: "If you have this intention, then I will ask the sage to give you to Xue Lang." ”

"I, I'm not..... I don't mean that."

Nian Nu was so young, how could he be so bold, and he immediately didn't know what to do.

Yang Yuyao said: "Okay, okay, tease you." With your present reputation, you can't stay in his house, so you have to come to my house."

Xue Bai said: "They are all contributing, where to go is up to their hearts, and please ask Yao Niang to help." ”

"You know, how can I do wrong to your people?" Yang Yuyao is known as the "male fox", and these servants still smile with a smile.

After the feast, it will inevitably seem lonely.

After returning to Xingqing Palace, Li Longji woke up, looked at the sunset in the distance, and his mood suddenly fell.

Of course, I can't get back to last night's high spirits.

"The concubine gave me face, and Xue Bai was also measured. That competition...... Actually, I lost.

"The old slave listens, Dong Tinglan is not as good as Li Guinian, Nian Nu's singing skills are inferior to Xu Hezi, except for the county lord of Hezheng, there is no one over there who can compare to the children of Liyuan. Even Lu Yuanzhen's drum is inferior to the saint. ”

"It's not like that." Li Longji sighed, but he didn't care about winning or losing, he suddenly cheered up again, and said, "You might as well arrange another play!"

"The old slave will arrange it.

The singing and dancing began again.

When Yang Yuhuan arrived, Li Longji was stunned.

"What kind of clothes is Taizhen wearing?"

"Dress." Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "The new clothes that the third sister gave me, are they good-looking?" ”

She wore a long red skirt, which made her skin as white and smooth as snow, and the skirt was like lotus leaves.

Li Longji looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Presumably, this is a bribe received by Taizhen, and I will be judged to lose in the competition."

"Saburo thinks it's good-looking." Yang Yuhuan pinched the hem of her skirt and turned around.

"Strange, unaccustomed to it, unaccustomed to it."

"Isn't it pretty?"

Li Longji just waved his hand and smiled: "It's too bizarre." ”

"Hmph, it's not good-looking, the concubine went to change.

Yang Yuhuan was not very happy, and turned back to the dormitory in a huff, and once again admired her huge bronze mirror.

I saw that the smooth fabric wrapped around her graceful waist, outlining a beautiful arc....... the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"It's so good-looking, I don't know how old he is, how can he understand women so well?"

The smooth fabric wrapped around the curvaceous waist, Yang Yuyao smiled with satisfaction, turned sideways, and hugged Xue Bai's neck, "I don't know how you know my body so well at the age of a little wolf?" ”

"Like it?

"Well, it's beautiful."

She took his hand and stroked the silky fabric......

In the distance, the setting sun shone on the rolling mountains of the Qinling Mountains, as if a light veil was draped over it. After that, the sun fades and everything is hidden in the night.

In the night, Yang Yuyao muttered in a low voice: "Those girls of the family still want to compete for the champion, they should really be asked to take a look...... It's mine...."

"If the saint didn't give Xue Bai a marriage, this matter is not over."

"Surely they will not give up easily until he gets married, after all, he is such a famous and holy person.

In the public house of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Xilie and Da Xixun chatted about some boring gossip, the reason was that Xue Bai came to the Ministry of Officials today to hand over the documents, and wanted to take the erudite and scholarly test.

Chen Xilie happened to go to the ministry to sit in the hall today, and learned that Xue Bai was in Du Youlin's public house, so he sent someone to summon him. During the period, I talked to Da Xixun for a few words, and Xue Bai arrived.

"I've seen Zuo Xiang, Da Xi Shilang.

"You don't have to be polite." Chen Xilie stroked his beard and smiled, looking very friendly, and asked: "You are young and have just won the top prize, why don't you take a break for two years, start a family and start a business, and then come to the ministry to seek officials?" ”

Xue Bai smiled and responded: "Dare to ask Zuo Xiang, but to seek officials in the ministry, you must have a family?" ”

"Champion Lang is really funny.

If Chen Xilie is thin-skinned, he would have been scolded all these years, and he was not embarrassed at this time, and still put on an amiable smile.

"If you want to participate in the erudite word test, the old man can't stop him. However, there are a few old words for Zhuang Yuanlang......... At present, it is better to set up a marriage as soon as possible, and the so-called family and career, and become an official position after becoming a family. Officialdom is a serious thing

The place, unlike cockfighting and singing, cannot only rely on the holy family. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Xue Bai said: "I still want to take the official exam first." ”

Chen Xilie smiled more kindly, and reminded as if explicitly: "Why go against the good intentions of others? Otherwise, when the sage's interest has passed, how can Zhuang Yuanlang be good? ”

The words have been made very clear, Xue Bai doesn't give anyone face, as if he is bent on being a lonely minister, and it is difficult for him to do it.

Whether it is the Right Prime Minister's Mansion or the big family, Xue Bai only needs to choose a family to become a relative, and if he has a statement and then comes to the Ministry to seek officials, Chen Xilie can do a lot easier.

There will always be a time when the holy family will fade, so why bother not knowing what is good or bad?

With such thoughts, Chen Xilie kept persuading.

He is the ruler of a country, and he is also old, and in the face of Xue Bai, a young descendant, his tone is majestic and cordial, and he can be regarded as a very sincere and kind persuasion.

"Walk above men, and the multitude will not. The young man is sharp, and he is named after the gold list of officials and slaves, and he thinks that the world has changed because of you, no! It's really for you along the way, there are many noble people to help. But look at you again, you don't want to return even a peony...

When Xue Bai came, he also gave Chen Xilie the courtesy he deserved.

But I really listened to it for too long, and when I looked at it, I saw Da Xixun nodding again and again, and he didn't mean to dissuade Chen Xilie from stopping.

"Left Phase."

"Can you figure it out?

"If Zuo Xiang has the ability, don't let me pass this erudite and scholarly subject."

Xue Bai said that, but turned around and left directly.

"You!

Chen Xilie was quite surprised, stood up, pointed at Xue Bai, and thought to himself that this shaft is shameless, just waiting for Li Linfu to go, and after taking power, he will make him look good.

"You want to take the official test, dare to speak to the official department book like this?!"

Xue Bai didn't look back.

He is not arrogant, but there is really no need to give Chen Xilie too much face, one is a royal celebrity who has just presented a play, and the other is a sealed prime minister with no real power...... Shame on the face.

Xue Bai turned the corridor and saw Du Youlin waiting there.

"How? Have you decided on an official position first?

"No, Chen Xilie doesn't know what to do."

When Du Youlin heard this tone, he was taken aback, and said, "How is that good?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Xue Bai said: "In the officialdom, if you are as weak as him, anyone can handle it, and you can't do it....my generation should learn from this." ”

"You see it." Chen Xilie turned to Da Xixun and said, "The old man is kind-hearted, but this shaft is stubborn. ”

Da Xixun just smiled and responded: "The lower official must be the right minister." ”

It's the day, the right prime minister's house.

"Enough.

Li Linfu snorted and said, "I don't have time to listen to Chen Xilie's nonsense, I just ask what official position you plan to give that erector?" ”

One is a puppet at his disposal, and the other is a monkey who repeatedly makes trouble and makes him suffer, and it is self-evident who he cares about more.

Da Xixun was surprised: "Do you really want him to pass the erudite word test?" ”

"Otherwise? Chen Xilie has the ability, you let Chen Xilie stop him, and by the way, arrange another play to dedicate to the saint. ”

Xia Guan understood...... It's just that Zuo Xiang's worries are also reasonable, Xue Bai is such a maverick....

"He is the one who is persecuted, he is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry for him?" Li Linfu scolded: "If you really refuse to be obedient, find a distant place to send away, three years and two years, the holy family will also fade, look at him, can you still be crazy?" ”

"Right Phase, this is Gao Jian! I don't know how many times higher than the left phase!

Li Linfu swept away Xi Xun coldly, and sighed in his heart why these fools were running around the door........
