Chapter 406 Chang'an Day Trip (Part 2)
There were months when Sima Xuan'er had not seen her. At this time, her face faded a little bit of greenness, but instead she had a bit of mature and generous charm. When Liu Yu saw the bun on her head, he felt a little disappointed and the smile on her face froze.
Get married?
Sui Yi was surprised when he saw Yingying and Yanyan's face. He had come to the coaching shop for fun. At this time, he saw a guest in the dance hall, and when he saw Liu Yu and others, most of them hurriedly retreated, and Aunt Xuan walked over with Sima Xuan'er.
"Please treat the marquis." Aunt Xuan still had a calm and sincere face and walked over to show her salute to Liu Yu. Sima Xuan'er, who was on the side, also bowed her back. She looked more feminine than before.
Liu Yu smiled indifferently as a gift. At this time, Yu Mo, the young eunuch in the Song and Dance Training House, always came to receive the news. Sui Yi pulled Yu Mo to explain and asked Yu Mo to prepare the banquet venue and singing and dancing performance. This was originally Sui Yi's home court, but now Sui Yi has just obtained military achievements and may be granted a title of marquis at any time. Yu Mo dared not offend him. He listened to Sui Yi's instructions politely.
Liu Yu glanced at Sui Yi, his eyes fell back, and Aunt Xuan smiled and said, "It was just the palace ordered the rehearsal. Can the Marquis make a comment on the song and dance prepared for the Queen's birthday at the end of the month?"
Liu Yu didn't know when the birthday of the queen Sun Xiaoyu was, but now Sun Xiaoyu is pregnant, and she is likely to give birth to a crown prince for the royal family, so she should be treated with courtesy. However, Liu Yu still has some prejudice against Sun Xiaoyu. Sun Xiaoyu is virtuous, but lacks the ability to assist the emperor. At most, she is the woman behind Su Yan, which is very different from Su Yan's mother.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Aunt Xuan, you are polite. Just call me your name and you can't call me the title of Marquis."
"Young Master Liu, you are polite." Aunt Xuan stopped insisting. She smiled and looked at Sima Xuan'er who had been silent. She smiled, "I have something to arrange, so I won't accompany you for the time being."
Aunt Xuan is very cognizable and has long guessed what "is" between Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er, so she chose to avoid it.
When Aunt Xuan left, only Liu Yu and Sima Xuan'er were left. Sima Xuan'er seemed even more cramped and seemed to be at a loss.
"Ms. Sima has already betrothed to others?"
Sima Xuan'er was a little stunned. At the same time, she also looked at Liu Yu. At this time, she calmed down a little: "Young master, don't misunderstand it. It's the little girl's mother and aunt who always ask to choose a husband for the little girl. The little girl combed her hair and did not let her do it for this."
Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "So that's it."
Liu Yu chatted with Sima Xuan'er, mainly asking about Sima Xuan'er's life in Chang'an City over the past few months. After receiving the help of Liu Yu, Sima Xuan'er has moved from the front to the backstage. She can continue to pursue her dream of dancing, and more importantly, to cultivate new dance girls for the Song and Dance Education Workshop and pass on the singing and dancing career.
As he said this, Sui Yi almost bumped into his head and said excitedly: "Hey, Brother Liu, you don't know that a new group of criminals came to the Song and Dance Hall recently. They are really better than the other, and each one is more beautiful than the other. Should I go in and take a look together? Haha."
In front of Sima Xuan'er, Sui Yi spoke without any hesitation. Sima Xuan'er's head and chirped slightly, and after hearing this, she thought she didn't hear it.
Liu Yu asked: "Why are there so many daughters of offenders in the Song and Dance Hall?"
"How could I know about this?" Sui Yi said, "Maybe there are more officials who have committed crimes recently."
Sui Yi and Liu Yu went to war for a long time and were not in Chang'an. They were a little ignorant about some things in Chang'an City, but Liu Yu received news from the news in Chang'an City in advance. In the past few months, the new emperor rectified the officialdoms of Guanzhong cities, mainly focusing on last year's severe drought and chaos. As long as the counties that were unfavorable in disaster relief and rebellion were not spared from the county magistrate to the county magistrate. This was equivalent to cleaning up the officials of Guanzhong counties and counties, and this prison disaster once caused Guanzhong to fall into chaos.
After Su Yan was in charge of power, after driving away Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu's army to guard Guanzhong, the officialdom also needed to be cleaned up to complete the emperor and the minister. In this context, there were many criminal women who were sent to music. Guanzhong was originally a wealthy place, and the officials basically raised singing girls and dancing girls, and their beauty and talent were not bad.
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Why might as well go in and have a look together, Miss Sima, but can you introduce it to us?"
It is too much to say that Liu Yu's request is a very excessive. After all, Sima Xuan'er is a good family, commonly known as a good woman. She is just a job in the singing and dancing sect workshop. This job is already very despicable. Now Liu Yu actually asked her to come in to help introduce dance girls, which is no different from choosing a dance girls.
However, Sima Xuan'er did not show any unhappiness, but instead smiled and nodded: "The little woman is willing to recommend it to the young master."
Yu Mo is the young supervisor of the Song and Dance Hall, which is the highest in charge here. The officials of Taichang Temple have basically nothing to do with the officials of the court. Although Yu Mo is a sesame and green bean official, he is a fat man, and it is too late for others to curry favor with him. If the dignitaries and nobles in the capital want to perform or take a beautiful concubine, they must give Yu Mosai some money.
Yu Mo is rarely as attentive as he is today.
In the back hall, the dance girls in the Song and Dance Hall were changing clothes, but halfway through the change, there was already someone who rushed to tell them that all the dance girls went out to line up. Outside, Liu Yu, Sui Yi and Li Mi were like three commanders coming to inspect the army. Sui Yi was excited, and as long as the woman he ordered would go to the banquet hall to accompany him for a while.
Liu Yu stood aside and looked at it. These dancers said they were beautiful, but they did not have the kind of woman who was unforgettable to look at.
Sima Xuan'er sighed a little sadly: "Young Master, there are actually a few who are not listed here."
Liu Yu said in surprise: "Why?"
Sima Xuan'er explained: "These dancers are elegant in shape and are obviously from ladies. However, there are rumors in the palace that these women are not allowed to appear in public, and they seem to be sent to the palace."
Liu Yu nodded. The reason why Sima Xuan'er lamented was probably because of the bumpy fate of these women. Her family was already in trouble and she was driven by others. However, Liu Yu was a little puzzled. Since these women were the daughters of officials, they could be sent to the palace to be palace maids. They had to be sent to the Song and Dance Hall and then moved into the palace. Why is it so troublesome?
Liu Yu asked, "Ms. Sima knows which family those people come from?"
Liu Yu didn't ask for his name because Liu Yu knew that women rarely walked out of the boudoir these days, and their names were difficult to tell outsiders. He just wanted to know if there was anything behind these families.
Sima Xuan'er shook her head and said she didn't know.
Liu Yu had no choice but to call Yu Mo, the manager of the Song and Dance Hall, and Yu Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, what are you doing to send me?"
"I heard that there were a few ladies from everyone here, and then I came to see, why... where are there no one?"
Yu Mo was a little surprised and hurriedly turned his head and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, these people... I won't let you say anything in the palace, "You old, Haihan."
"In the palace?" Liu Yu pretended to think for a while, and seemed to have compromised. "Then it's not an exaggeration to ask who these women are, right?"
"This... OK. Marquis, please wait."
Yu Mo went to the inner hall to get a booklet and handed it to Liu Yu. When Liu Yu opened the booklet, he immediately felt annoyed. It was not that there was one of these women who had something to do with him, but that one of them reminded Liu Yu of the initiator of the incident.
