Chapter 119 Small orders and slow words

A cloud floated from somewhere, wrapping up the sun that was emitting a hot light, and in an instant the world became cool. The wind blew from somewhere, passing through the hills, brushing across the pond, and drilling into the awning.

Xu Ping shook his body slightly and smiled reluctantly at the old ministers Xue Kui and Wang Shu: "I understand what the two husbands mean, and there will be rules in their work in the future. Although Xu Ping was young and ignorant, he had never been meant to others for the sake of fulfilling himself in so many years. No matter what I do in the future, I will consider it repeatedly, and I must do it without harming the people, the court, and benefiting the whole country. If I say this, are the two husbands satisfied?"

Wang Shu sighed: "We are all idle people now, and we just talk casually. If you are right, just listen. If you are wrong, just treat the wind as a gust of wind and don't go to your heart. In the future, I hope to remember what you say today."

"I must keep it in mind and never forget it!"

After Xu Ping finished speaking, the three of them sat under the shed and were speechless for a while.

Xue Kui finally calmed down and said to Xu Ping: "We two old people are sitting here for a while. You can go to entertain others. You are just teenagers, and there are many things to have fun, but it is inconvenient for us to do it."

What should be said have been finished. The two old men obviously don’t need Xu Ping to chat here, so why are you sitting here? Xue Kui obviously knows that everyone can’t let go in front of him, so it’s better to stay away.

After saying goodbye to Wang Shu and Xue Kui, Xu Ping stepped out of the awning, looked at the sky, and let out a breath. Xu Ping rarely quarreled with others, but it was difficult for others to convince him. His steps in doing things would not stop because of the arrival of Wang Shu and Xue Kui today. The two did not come to convince Xu Ping. The main thing was to show an attitude and let Xu Ping know that he should be cautious when doing things in the future. If Xu Ping was so easily convinced, it would not be worthy of these two people.

In the court, if there is no party or faction, it is all kinds of strange things. Everyone has their own position and people who are close to their own position. They will naturally come together. When they think of it, they are only obvious, and some are not obvious. Contradictory and conflicts become fierce, and arbitrary disputes will form.

In most cases, cliques were not formed on the initiative, except for some few exceptions, such as Hu Dan, who was blinded in Xiangzhou and still had a higher heart than the sky. Xu Ping vaguely remembered that there was still someone in his garden who also had Hu Dan's problem, that was Ouyang Xiu. The two of them had the same talent and a higher heart than the sky, and they were all over the face of reality and were bleeding.

The difference is that Hu Dan is for the future of a few people and for personal gain, while Ouyang Xiu is for the ideal in his heart. The great way is indecisive. As a result, Hu Dan harmed himself, while Ouyang Xiu not only harmed himself, but also caused a group of people around him, and many innocent people were implicated. For his own selfish interests, Hu Dan had no sympathy, was poor and lonely in the countryside. After hardships, Ouyang Xiu finally woke up and enjoyed the grief behind him.

Xu Ping and the ministers in the court kept a certain distance, because Hu Dan gave him a great stimulation. Taizong was a Jinshi who was highly valued and promoted quickly. Many people were honored for two systems at the age of thirty. Kou Zhun became the prime minister in less than ten years. Later generations could only sigh. As a result, Hu Dan, the top scholar, was not only a master's imperial edict, but also a civil servant, and a minister's position as a editor in the History Museum, which was much worse than Xu Ping now.

The old man who was blind, didn't even have any patches on his body, and was domineering, really made Xu Ping very excited. His ending was much more miserable than Ding Wei.

The officialdom is a place of wealth and honor, and it is also a whirlpool of right and wrong. There are wealth and dangers.

By the pond, Yan Shu and Ding Du sat on a chair under the tree, eating watermelon fruits, drinking wine, and enjoying the surrounding scenery. A group of young officials gathered on the shore, allowing the singing girls to sing new or old lyrics and music, and laugh from time to time.

Looking at the weather, the other two scholars, Mei Xun and Li Shu, should have arrived, and they are not yet present. Ten is to avoid Xue Kui and Wang Shu. These two are too serious, and it takes some courage to gather around them. Mei Xun is a very particular person who cannot be serious, while Li Shu is a little arrogant and it is normal to hide from them.

When he arrived at the tree, Xu Ping saw Yan Shu and Ding Du and asked, "Why is the bachelor sitting here? Why don't he go over and have fun with everyone?"

Yan Shu shook his head silently, and Ding Du laughed and said, "Scholar Yan thinks that the singers here are not good. The songs you sing are low-end and do not understand allusions, and they don't listen to them. Xu Waizhi, your Yongning Hou Mansion is also one of the few companies in the capital in terms of wealth and honor. Why not buy a few best singers? It's easy to cheer up when you come, and you can relieve your boredom when you listen to them in your spare time."

Xu Ping shook his head: "The sacrificing words are light, where is the easy place to find a good singer? Not to mention how much it costs, those who understand music and understand poetry are hard to come by. Besides, I know nothing about music. I am not a sucker when I go out with money. If I can use it, just hire a few on the market."

Ding Du and Yan Shu laughed together and said to Xu Ping: "We're talking here, you go and accompany those people."

Xu Ping sued and walked towards the pond. Ding Du said it was easy. A good singer had to take out thousands of guan. If you have that money, it would be better to go to the countryside to buy a few acres of land.

People in the world are greedy for profit, and families near the capital are all raising their daughters as treasures. They are counting on age and having a skill to sell them to wealthy families. If luck comes, they may be worry-free all their lives. The so-called "no rebirth of a boy and a girl" is because girls can bring more money to ordinary families. Moreover, according to the habit at this time, the best age for a little girl is only ten years old. The contract is not delayed and she will marry and have children. Many poor families regard this as a way to get rid of poverty. In addition, wealthy families are sought after by, and the price of a little girl who can sing and dance is extremely high, which Xu Ping thinks is exaggerated.

If the base is large, it is not difficult to find those who are good-looking, and those who are good-singing are not difficult to find those who are charming and good-dance are easy to find, but it is difficult to concentrate these on one person. In addition, if you need to understand the rhythm of poetry, be able to write poems and write lyrics, and not show your timidity when speaking to literati, that is rare.

Singing girls are entertainment stars of this era, but unlike later generations, the best ones are kept at home by wealthy families. The brothels outside are like those who run wild in Xu Ping's previous life, and their level is much worse. Most of the time, the singing girls outside are no longer beautiful and beautiful, but their behavior is vulgar, and their words are full of street slang, and the songs they sing are even more involved. There is no way, who makes men like this tune?

Yan Shu's little lyrics are more like poems than lyrics. It is not right to sing without some cultural cultivation, and he can't listen to it.

On the contrary, Liu Sanbian was like a fish in water at this time. He grew up in such a group of singing girls, with all kinds of melodies. Xiao Ling came from the leisurely and elegant taste of literati, with a long history. The legend started from Li Bai, while the slow lyrics were collected from the songs sung by the brothel singers, and set the tune and rhythm, forming their own oneness. The two origins and styles are different. Now that they first start, they still have a strong brothel lyrics style, which Yan Shu certainly couldn't listen to.
