Li Mu really didn't expect that there will be bribery elections these days, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong and said, "So, if I bring a box of silver ingots and put them at the door, wouldn't I be sure to win?"

Li Siwen shook her head and said, "No, no, no, whoever does that will be criticized. Even if she gets a courtesan, she will not be recognized."

Li Mu said in confusion: "This is also strange. Giving money is considered a bribe, and giving food is not counted. Who sets the rules?"

"Who decides... I don't know. Anyway, I knew that there was this rule when I knew Pingkangfang. Actually, it can't be considered a bribe, just a little food. Brother, think about it, if we live in the south of the city, we have to rush to Pingkangfang at this time, and there are no horses, so we have to set off an hour ago. Just missed the meal, and it is reasonable to prepare these foods. Moreover, there is a family doing this, and others must be done. If they don't do it, wouldn't they suffer a loss? There is not much money in total. Who is the one who runs a brothel and has a big family, who doesn't have this ten cents of money?"

"That's right." Li Mu nodded, and suddenly thought that his own garden was opened in the first year. I don't know if Ergou has any experience. If he suffers a loss in this regard, he will be a silly man.

Not far away, I arrived at the gate of Lichunyuan. Li Mu looked at the stall far away. Ergou was dressed like a turtle man and was lying on the door. Looking at Li Mu and his group, he hurriedly came up and said, "Marty, you are here. The platform is all the best. Our family is nothing worse than the other family. Don't worry, this year's courtesan is definitely us!"

"We must respect our opponents. It's the first year that we have been working for the rest of our lives, and we can't keep our killer moves." Li Mu glanced at the things Ergou prepared and frowned and said, "Why are all the soup cakes coming out? What's this?"

Ergou hurriedly said, "This is the soup cake you eat every time you go to the West City. The little one packed them for three days and invited them here! Marquis, this was only invited by your reputation. People don't want to come!"

"Oh," Li Mu suddenly realized, "It turns out that the stalls here are all buyers and sellers in the east and west markets."

Ergou nodded violently and said, "Yes, yes, marquis can guess accurately."

"Are it always the same before?"

"Yes, the villain asked, this is what the previous dynasty did."

Li Mu waved and said, "You can ask someone to go now, pick up the good candied fruit, buy a hundred and eighty kilograms. Then find a few girls with good faces. When you see the child, you will give it to the candied fruit. First give it to them for free, and then ask them to exchange it for the flying flower order."

Ergou stared at the top of his eyes and said in a daze: "But Marquis, the child does not have the flying flower order, only the adults have it!"

"Idiot!" Li Mu knocked Ergou's head and cursed: "Which child can come by himself? Didn't they all come with their parents? In the past, there were few people who brought their children in Pingkangfang, but the Spring Festival was different. Some people came to watch the lights and some people watched the performance. I just saw several families. If you bring your children, will you give them to them if you want to eat candied fruit? Everyone has them. If you don't spend money to exchange candied fruit, will you change them?"

"Oh oh oh--" Ergou suddenly realized and hurriedly went to make arrangements. Li Mu shook his head helplessly. Why are the people of the Tang Dynasty so honest? He felt a little guilty when he was using these tricks.

"Brother, I'm going to the gambling house!" Li Siwen shouted, dragging Dugu Jiu to the gambling house, while Li Mu took his wife and concubine into Lichunyuan.

It was lively outside and the house was also lively. In half an hour, the performance began. Today's theme is singing and dancing. Jin Chen is the protagonist, but there is no one with the protagonist. Usually there are three shows, with a warm scene in front of it, music and dance, and there is no protagonist in group dance. In the middle is the protagonist's solo dance, and the last is a Yuefu lyrics. Some perform Yuefu lyrics left over from the Han Dynasty, such as "Fighting the City South", "Fifteenth Army Tour", etc., and there are more modern performances. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the old Yuefu songs were used to fill in new lyrics, such as "Peacock Flying Southeast" and "Mulan Ci".

One dances in groups, one dances alone, and one dances in songs and dances! Strive to show the strength of the garden in all aspects.

In addition to Jin Chen, there were sixteen girls participating in the performance tonight. They were all dressing up. Li Mu and others came in, but they didn't notice it.

The maid Yin Yue next to Jin Chen was the first to discover Li Mu. He quickly put down the pipa in his hand to salute him. Li Mu waved his hand and signaled her not to disturb others, so he took Bai Qiaoqiao and others upstairs.

In the room in the middle of the second floor, the window was opened and it was facing the stage, and the height was the most appropriate. Li Mu led his wife and concubine to sit down, and Jin Chen and Yin Yue came upstairs together. Seeing Li Mu's wife and concubine, Yin Yue seemed a little nervous, but Jin Chen was not nervous at all, and gave everyone a blessing with a smile.

"Yinyue, please give me a trip, let me ask you to have a snack below to come over, and have some of them." Li Mu reached into his arms, exchanged a handful of silver from the system, and put it in Yinyue's hand, which was six or seven taels, and said, "Don't bother me, look at it, keep the rest of me and buy rouge."

"Thank you, Marquis."

Although Yin Yue was a little hostile and even wary of Li Mu, she was still a little girl after all, and she didn't have much pocket money. She was also happy to get the money and went downstairs happily.

Li Mu looked at Jin Chen who was still standing and said, "Sit down, there is no need to be restrained, there are no outsiders."

Jin Chen looked at Bai Qiaoqiao's face, and saw that she had no displeasure, so he owed to sit down. His butt was only halfway, and his body was sitting straight, and a tiny detail distinguished the superiority and inferiority. Bai Qiaoqiao had no such things in her mind and did not notice it, but Wang Ou and Li Zhien both understood it, and their perception of Jin Chen improved a lot, and they smiled one after another.

Li Mu didn't notice it and asked, "The performance will be performed later. Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Jin Chen smiled and said, "There is confidence, but I think in my heart that I can't let the Marquis down on the expectations of the Marquis. If I want to do better, I can't catch up or catch up. I have no choice but I can't get it. Wu, I asked myself that I don't have any opponents, but Ge... I don't have enough confidence."

Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "But something went wrong with the tune I asked you to compose. Didn't the song be composed?"

"It's done." Jin Chen hurriedly said: "The song is composed by Yinyue. The lyrics by Marquis are also good at compiling music. The lyrics are 95 characters in the double tune, the first nine sentences are four flat rhymes, and the second ten sentences are four flat rhymes. It just happened to be combined with "Shui Tu Song", and it was done without much effort."

"Water, water tune song?" Li Mu was a little stunned. The song he copied this time was exactly "Water Tune Song Head: When will the Moon Be there" that everyone in later generations can recite. He deliberately did not mention the name of the song, but only said that the poem was called "Water Moon Be there", but unexpectedly it was involved in the word "Water Tune".

When Wang Ou heard that Li Mu had a new lyrics, he took over and said, "The water tune was written by Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang dug the Bian River and prepared it when he was visiting Jiangdu. The sound and rhyme were so sad that it was quoted as a famous song at that time. Now many people sing it. Didn't your husband think about this song when he wrote the lyrics?"

Li Mu thought to himself that I memorized Song Ci, which I had to do for the high school entrance examination in my previous life, and there was no song. But at this time, I was forced to do this. For my old face, I couldn't admit my ignorance. I made up my head and said: "This is such a thing. I haven't been rehearsing operas for this period of time. I often traveled to Pingkangfang and passed by a garden. There was always this song coming out in it. I felt that they were not singing well and the lyrics were not good, so I thought about writing a new lyrics myself, which was just right with this song."

"It turns out that this song is called a water tune, but it was made by Emperor Yang of Sui. I really didn't expect that Emperor Yang of Sui had a bad reputation, but he was a great talent!"

Wang Ou smiled and said, "What is the difference between a person's good or bad? Although Emperor Yang had a bad reputation after becoming the emperor, he was a good prince who could not make mistakes before becoming the emperor. He knew everything from poetry, books, rituals and music. If not, he could not replace his brother as the crown prince. Just talking about this person, he was a talented person, but he was not suitable to be an emperor."

"oh--"

Li Mu's "Oh" was not over yet, and someone continued: "Mrs. Mudan said nothing badly. My father-in-law is indeed a talented man, but he is indeed not suitable to be an emperor. He cannot control his ambitions and always thinks about achieving great achievements that have not been seen in ancient and modern times, but he is unable to achieve success, harming the world and suffering the people. I will take it as a warning and will not be like him."

"His Majesty!"

Li Mu was so scared that his face turned pale and hurriedly stood up to salute. Fortunately, Wang Ou didn't call him husband just now, otherwise his head would have moved now.

Everyone also stood up to salute Li Shimin. Li Shimin said he was exempted from the gift, but his eyes were only staring at Wang Ou. He couldn't help but walk over and reached out to help him.

When Wang Ou saw Li Shimin's hand reaching over, she felt unhappy and took two steps back. Li Shimin's hand froze in the air, so embarrassed. Li Mu quickly reached out to hold Li Shimin's hand and shook it vigorously: "Your Majesty, why are you here? What a coincidence, is there a holiday in the palace today?"

Li Shimin shook Li Mu's hand away and snorted: "Can I not rest for two days in the year? If you can celebrate the Lantern Festival, will I have a great time?"

Li Mu looked back and said, "Your Majesty is here alone, Queen..."

"What's behind." Li Shimin's expression froze when he heard the word "Queen". He looked at Wang Ou reluctantly and whispered: "I heard that Mrs. Mudan is here, come and say hello. How can the queen enter such a fireworks place?"

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu said solemnly: "This is not a place of fireworks, but a serious theater. It sells tickets and performs, and is not a match for brothels."

"The play?" Li Shimin vaguely remembered that Yuan Tiangang had reported that Li Mu had been rehearsing operas in Lichunyuan recently, and was called "Dou E's Injustice". But what was the specific one? Because the confidentiality was strictly done, the bad guys did not find out.

When Li Mu mentioned it, Li Shimin couldn't help but be interested and said, "I'll show you all the plays and tunes, so that I can taste them. Although I'm not a talented man, I still have some eyesight."

Li Mu naturally did not dare not refuse to agree, so he asked Jin Chen to take it. Jin Chen returned to his room and took the script and the original manuscript of "When will the Moon Come" written by Li Mu, and then went downstairs to prepare. Li Shimin opened the script. Although he had never seen the format, he recognized the words. After a rough look, he frowned and said, "Why is this Qizhou governor so ridiculous? This must be a figure from the previous dynasty!"

"Hey!" Li Mupo said coldly: "Your Majesty, this drama is adapted from the affairs of this dynasty. Didn't you see that the governor is called Zheng Dalu?"

"Oh," Li Shimin suddenly realized, glanced at Li Mu, and said, "You guy is really a shame. If anyone offended you, it will never end. It's not counting on tit for the outside world. You even defame others behind your back. I feel a little sorry for them."

"Your Majesty, you have to speak with your conscience. I have no grudges with them, and I am not making enemies for your Majesty? Besides, I didn't attack you secretly. I wrote a joke to scold them, and I didn't block their mouths and refused to scold me. If you have the ability, they will also scold me. If you don't have the ability to rely on me?"

"I can't tell you if I can." Li Shimin put the script aside, picked up the original manuscript of "When will the bright moon come?", and only took a look, then became serious.

The song "Shui Tuan" is widely circulated, just like the popular songs in Li Mu's previous life, anyone can hum a few lines. Li Shimin is no exception. His Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui. She is the daughter of her daughter, and she often sings this little song.

Seeing this word, Li Shimin subconsciously hummed in his mind. The more he hummed, the more subtle he felt, and he could not help but chant.

"When will the bright moon come, I ask the blue sky with wine. I don't know what year it will be tonight?"

"I want to ride the wind and go back, but I am afraid that the jade building and jade pagoda will be colder at high places."

"Dancing and playing with the clear shadows, how can it be in the world!"

"Turn the red pavilion, lower the beautiful house, and shine without sleep. There should be no hatred, so why should we be farewell?"

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this matter is difficult to be complete in ancient times."

"I hope that people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon together from thousands of miles away." / "I hope that people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon together from thousands of miles away."

The last sentence was read by Wang Ou and Li Shimin. When Li Shimin was watching, Wang Ou also glanced at him and recited it in his heart. When the last sentence was reached, he finally couldn't help but recite it.

Li Shimin heard Wang Ou's voice in his ears, looked up at her, and his little heart suddenly jumped a few times.

She recited lyrics with me, and it was like this. Is she also thinking about sharing the beauty of the moon with me?

When Wang Ou saw Li Shimin looking over, she immediately turned her head aside. She was so annoyed that she just said her evaluation of Emperor Yang of Sui, but she did not say her evaluation of Li Shimin. But in fact, Li Shimin was exactly the same as Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui was a great talent, but she could not be an emperor. Li Shimin knew how to be an emperor, but he had only one advantage.

In addition to being a qualified emperor, Li Shimin is useless in Wang Ou's eyes.

He can't recite poems or be romantic, but Feibai is not writing it well, but for a talented woman like Wang Ou, Li Shimin's calligraphy is just ordinary and can't be said to be good at all. The most important thing is that Wang Ou doesn't like Li Shimin's character. He is a manly person at the center. How can he be happy with such a person?
