There was a commotion in the hospital for a while, and someone shouted loudly. The entire hospital was in a hurry.
“It’s broken, my insides are broken!”
Wang Zhun heard the old doctor say that his injury was not too serious. The first thing he did when he got up despite the severe pain was to give the doctor a slap in the face.
“Quack doctor, it hurts me to death.”
“I forgive you, Mr. Lang, but you only received one punch in the end.”
“The old man kicked Su Wunu to death, and I received a punch. Please save my life!”
There was another middle-aged man in brocade robes in the hospital who stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "Su Wunu is dead? What happened to Zhang Siniang?"
Those who have access to the female musicians in the Jiaofang are either rich or noble. Wang Zhun saw that there was also someone who wanted to seduce Zhang Siniang. He reluctantly turned to look at the other person and shouted: "Who are you?"
"Wei Hui." The middle-aged man in brocade robes said loudly: "Jingzhao Wei, the nephew of the saint, the grandson of Emperor Zhongzong, the son of Princess Ding'an, the official of Zhengyi, and the Sima of the Palace of Prince Mao."
“尻.”
“Let me ask you, where is my fourth mother?!”
“You eater of dog intestines, don’t bother me.”
Wang Zhun didn't take Wei Hui seriously at all, so he got drunk and walked to the other side's feet. This time he felt severe pain in his stomach, and he groaned and asked someone to carry him back home.
He was going to complain to the king. Even if he couldn't kill Xue Bai, he still had to kill the old guy who beat people.
I I I
Zhuque already held more than twenty posts, and most of the time he worked in the parliament next to the main house. When he heard that his son was beaten half to death, he returned home wearing a purple robe.
“You are so arrogant outside again, and you finally provoke someone you can’t afford to offend?!”
In private, Wang Jun didn't even have a soft mouth before the king. He covered his stomach: "I am arrogant with the ability of the sage to fight the chicken.
Wang frowned and asked the family's famous doctor to check his son's injuries first, then scolded him: "If you have to be arrogant, don't come to your grandpa if something goes wrong."
"Xue Bai touched me. I thought this boy had offered treasures in front of the saint several times before he came to remind me, otherwise I would have killed him!"
“You have a good relationship with him, what’s going on?”
"I don't know." Wang Zhun became annoyed when he mentioned it, and said: "I greeted Xianyu Erlang in the teaching workshop, but I didn't want him to fight Zhang Siniang. I just wanted Su Wunu to get him drunk and make this country bumpkin look ugly. Mother. Yes, suddenly an old guy came in and started beating everyone he saw. He knocked down all my people and even beat Su Wunu to death. I have no idea what happened."
“What did Huang Hai say?”
"He said it was important for me to treat the injury. He also said that Xue Bai's holy love was strong, so he asked me to go first and leave it to him to deal with it."
“What does the attacker look like?”
“He is stronger than an ox and is almost six feet tall. He has a really rough black face with two scars on it. His temples are gray and he has a bitter and hateful frown.”
The king asked: "Square face, sword eyebrows?"
"yes."
"Wang Zhongsi and Xue Bai are mixed together?" Wang Que pondered: "How dare you tell me that the Yang Party did not win over Wang Zhongsi."
“Can there be a single word in the mouth of a spit that is the truth? Can I believe him?”
Wang Zhun also frowned when he spoke. He always felt uncomfortable in his stomach and rolled on the couch, screaming in pain.
“My internal organs are broken! Master, let me make the decision... What mistake did I make? I just wanted to get Xianyu Erlang drunk, but Wang Zhongsi smashed my internal organs!”
Wang Que looked at his son's pitiful appearance and felt angry. After much thought, he did not complain to the emperor, but ordered his subordinates to drive to the right.
Take a trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It was the Right Prime Minister who was eager to deal with Wang Zhongsi. He reported this matter, firstly, to use the Youxiang Mansion to get ahead, and secondly, to make peace with the Right Prime Minister.
Having just put on the purple robe, he needs to stabilize his official position for the time being. He still can't break with the Right Prime Minister's Office now.
While walking along the way, the king also thought of a small thing.
At that time, Lu Qi was demoted. It was really not arranged by his order from the Yushitai. He checked here and there. The most suspicious thing was Lu Qi's father, Lu Yi. To put it bluntly, the Lu family did not want to serve under the Right Prime Minister.
However, even though this matter has been discussed, the right minister still seems to doubt him.
Of course, this matter is still hidden in his heart at present, and the king still treats Li Linfu with great respect.
see this matter... Did the lower official take the opportunity to give Wang Zhongsi some eye drops?”
This reminds me of self-defacement, sloppiness and rudeness."
Li Linfu pondered for a few steps, made a judgment, and said: "I also want to tell Hu'er."
This matter can be big or small, and you can sue if you have any reason. If you win the lawsuit, it will give the saint a reason to depose the king's loyal heir. If you don't win, he will have his own way to make the saint think that the loyal heir has scheming intentions.
ˆˆNN
Jiaofang.
Xue Bai regretted not bringing Li Jilan and Li Tengkong to cast the people he brought. Wang Zhongsi was not interested in music. After beating the people, he sat under the eaves and closed his eyes to rest. Du Wulang was only interested in the murder case and stared at
Damen and others came to capture Wang Zhongsi and prepared to step forward.
Fortunately, the Yan brothers can help.
Yan Quanming said in a low voice: "I asked about the fact that Kong Wei, the master of the jiafang, did not know the music and made a big joke about not being able to understand "Huanxi Sha". As expected, those who are talented in the jiafang may not be able to get ahead, so you should choose carefully.
"
“Yes. I can see it.”
Yan Jiming just came back to his senses from the sound of the drums and said: "Lu's Jie drum is really good. But I read the play and found that there are not many places where Jie drum can be used. Xue Lang selected some musicians who are good at playing pipa and zheng."
Xue Bai has heard Li Tengkong say this before, but for him, being able to tell what instrument to use is also very powerful.
“Twelve Lang also knows music, please help with the selection.”
"I'm interested." Yan Jiming responded, scratching his head and saying, "But music depends on talent. My talent is too poor. A gentleman has six skills and only knows five."
This is obviously a self-effacing statement.
Then, Yan Jiming picked up the pipa and played a piece based on his feelings about the play, which completely brought out the elegant and beautiful feeling that Xue Bai wanted.
“Let’s invite artists to perform.”
Xue Bai saw it and pulled Du Wulang, who was still looking around, and said, "Look at Twelve Lang's Six Arts of a Gentleman. What about you?"
“People are born different.” Du Wulang pointed his finger, “I barely have six arts.”
“You follow me.”
“The Yamen people haven’t come yet.”
“There’s no rush, it’s not that fast.”
He asked the Yan brothers to help select musicians. Xue Bai told him that it would be better to select more and go back to slowly screen them rather than miss out on talents. He was led by Huang Hai to select the actors.
Compared to the selection of musicians, the casting selection is much more exciting.
Passing through a ceremonial gate and arriving at the residence of the concubines, the roadside is full of beautiful girls, all dressed in colorful brocades with fish patterns, and they are singing and dancing on the roadside. It is an elegant and beautiful scene. The whole country?
???520.????
"ah."
Du Wulang followed Xue Bai, not knowing where to look. He touched his nose from time to time, for fear of nosebleeds and making him look ugly.
Upon seeing this, Huang Hui was very proud. He led them all the way to the singing stage and sat down. He clapped his hands and called his carefully selected wives to come out and show off their talents.
What I want in the primary election is very simple, just be able to sing like Xu Hezi.
Unexpectedly, Huang Hui was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said: "Xue Lang can pick as many as he wants. The more the better."
For him, the more places there are and the more screenings, the more money he will receive.
In fact, the original main characters of "The Romance of the West Chamber" were Cui Yingying, Zhang Sheng, Matchmaker, and Mrs. Cui. Although Xue Bai asked Li Jilan to adapt a part of the play in which Cui Yingying became a Taoist priest, it only added one more Lao Kun Taoist. But Xue Bai
Bai deliberately brought all the candidates back to Li Jilan, and Li Tengkong took a look at them.
One by one beautiful musicians came on stage. When Xue Bai looked at one and said "yes", Du Wulang took the book and wrote down a name.
After a while, Xue Bai frowned, leaned forward and said: "Lao Dan still has to choose from those low-level palace people just now."
“Originally, I came here to choose Yingying and Matchmaker..
A girl with heavy makeup walked up on the singing stage. She was beautiful, her singing skills were unparalleled, and she had an amazing singing voice.
No matter how ignorant Xue Bai is, he can still hear this obvious difference in level, and he can't help but ask: "Who is this?"
Huang Hui was a little embarrassed. Zhishu said, "This is...Pang Sanniang."
At this moment, Youle saw that Pang Sanniang had attracted Xue Lang's attention, and he shouted hurriedly: "Please, Xue Lang, please don't be deceived by this 'thief selling fake faces'!"
“What’s going on?”
Huang Hui just collected the money and didn't bother to read the list carefully, so he made a mistake. He apologized and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Xue. This Pang Sanniang is indeed over forty years old, but her singing voice is amazing. Let's give a performance today."
, just don’t pick her."
“She is over forty years old? But she can’t see it. Please ask her to come forward and have a look.”
Soon, Pang Sanniang walked up to Xue Bai and saw that she was heavily made up and dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she could not tell that she was old.
Like a young girl.
“The slave family paid homage to Xue Lang and sang and danced together. The slave family felt very good about themselves and begged Xue Lang to give him a chance.”
Xue Bai asked: "I'm sorry, could you please take off your makeup and let me take a look?"
Pang Sanniang was a little frightened, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Huang Hui with disappointment and helplessness in her eyes. Huang Hui glared at her with a threatening look and shouted: "Go quickly!"
Then, Huang Hui bowed and apologized to Xue Bai with a smile: "I was negligent and sneaked in such an evil-faced woman. Pang Sanniang was good at makeup and was able to hide it from me."
"oh?"
"Xue Lang didn't know something. The old slave heard her name when he first arrived at the temple and went to her room to invite her. She happened to be without makeup. The old slave asked her where Mrs. Pang San was, but she said, 'Pang San is my niece.'
, after putting on makeup the next day, the old slave said that she had seen her aunt yesterday and was really teased by her. She was so deformed, so bold, and a cunning woman! Therefore, the people in the church called her a fake seller.
Face thief....
NA
Pang Sanniang looked in the bronze mirror and took off her makeup, revealing a face with wrinkles. In fact, she was well-maintained and she was young and beautiful for a woman of her age. Unfortunately, the future she wanted was forever hopeless.
The saint loved singing, dancing, and performing various plays, which gave women like them from the Taira family a chance to shine in their families. For example, Aunt Pei, Aunt Gongsun, and Xu Hezi became famous all over the world.
She looked after her talents and appearance, thinking that if she could be selected as a concubine from among five thousand musicians, she would be able to move from the foreign teaching workshop to the internal teaching workshop, then to one of the three hundred disciples in Liyuan, and then to one of the ten families. As a result,
In the blink of an eye, youth is gone.
Over the years, she put on makeup, worked hard to perform in the mansions of powerful people, earned money, and bribed religious officials, and finally became famous, but she knew in her heart that everyone was just watching the joke and found it interesting to see her as a fake face thief.
Faced with today's opportunity to truly perform in front of a saint, even if Huang Hui greedily devoured her hard-earned money one after another, in the end he would just tell her to go away in disgust.
She also knew that she couldn't erase this wrinkle, but she still gave away all her money stupidly.
"The slave family... pays homage to Xue Lang.""
Pang Sanniang walked up to Xue Bai and bowed again, not daring to raise her head.
Xue Bai didn't rush her. She waited for a long time and then slowly raised her head, showing her old face. Her eyes became sore and she cried.
Let her play Mrs. Cui." Xue Bai said.
Pang Sanniang was stunned and felt like she was in a dream.
“By the way.” Xue Bai added: “You will also do the makeup and hair on the stage.”
Pang Sanniang shuddered before she came back to her senses. She was so excited that she raised her fingers to the sky and responded: "The slave family will never let Xue Lang down."
Xue Bai can tell at a glance that she has a pursuit in life and will try her best to do her best.
But he was thinking in his heart that the Jiaofang was just like Chun Nao. Whether he used Chun Nao to make trouble or wrote a play to select people, he was only temporarily breaking the old rules. There were a few more qualified scholars.
Well, having a few more theater actors is not a big change.
It's like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples, which will gradually calm down. But to change the world,
It means having the patience and perseverance of Jingwei to reclaim the sea.
Huang Hui leaned down and said, "Look, Mr. Xue, the next four are the most outstanding ones."
“Really?” Xue Bai looked at the light and saw four beautiful women on stage.
"These are the four sisters of the Ren family." Huang Hi said with a smile: "How do you feel, Xue Lang, to express her elegance and curb her humility? According to Lao Nu, one is playing Yingying, one is playing matchmaker, one is pretending to be a man and playing Zhang Sheng, and the other one is playing Zhang Sheng.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful to add a maid’s horn?”
As he said, the four sisters of the Ren family are indeed first-rate in beauty, with excellent voices and singing skills. But he vaguely felt that they were not singing seriously, but were only staring at him and looking at each other with interest.
In between, he smiled shyly and glanced at her secretly.
Huang Hui took a look and said, "After rehearsing the play, Xue Lang can ask the saint to give them to you. This is another good story."
This kind of eunuch is very attentive and always smiles. Before Xue Bai could say anything, he asked Du Wulang to write down their names.
Since the role has not yet been decided, Xue Bai doesn't mind. It's just that he hasn't found a particularly satisfactory candidate to play Cui Yingying, so he is a little impatient.
It was almost dusk.
Today's casting is almost over, and suddenly there are calls from eunuchs and maids at the ceremony gate.
“Not for girls.”
"Let me sing...
A little girl called out. Although it was only three words, the sound was like an oriole coming out of the valley, and it was very beautiful.
When Pang Sanniang heard this, she hurried out and Wanfu said: "Xue Lang, that is the best wife in the church now."
Xue Bai then stood up and looked over there.
Huang Hui's expression immediately changed, and he waved his hand to the other side warily, signaling the eunuch to stop him. Unfortunately, a little girl in red still picked up her skirt and ran out.
“Niannu!”
“Stop her quickly!“
Huang Hui shouted anxiously.
This little wife is one of Zuo Jiaofang's most beautiful women who is preparing to sing and dance at the imperial banquet during the Lantern Festival. It is related to the future of him and the Jiaofang envoy. How can Xue Bai pick him away?
“Don’t stop me, why don’t you sing me a new song?”
Niannu was stopped at the Yimen and was quite dissatisfied. He looked around and his eyes fell on Xue Bai.
She was in her cardamom years, with a lotus leaf bun, a red dance dress, her arms wrapped around Cai Lian, and skin like jade.
This is a flawless little girl with a lively temperament like a lark and a gentle voice like a nightingale. What’s even more rare is that she has her own unique temperament at a young age——
Jiao.
Even though you only look at her face, you can feel that everything about her body is delicate and smooth. She has a slim figure, which is actually flexible, but people can feel that she is delicate.
Like the tenderest tip on the first petal of early spring.
Niannu?
When Xue Bai heard this name, he suddenly thought of a brand name, Niannujiao.
He didn’t know if it was true, but he had an intuition... Perhaps the woman in front of him was the origin of the name of this brand?
If there is a woman who can become the origin of a song title because of her beauty, she is the only one.
“The slaves can sing.”
Nian Nu probably guessed which one was Xue Bai, so before he was taken away, he started singing,
“When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine...
She was the only one who didn't prepare according to the script of The West Chamber, but her ethereal voice directly overwhelmed everyone.
Xue Bai then understood why Yan Jiming lamented that "music matters depend on talent", which was actually a bit cruel.
“Quick, take it down.” Huang Hui hurriedly interrupted Nian Nu’s singing, “Don’t...”
Niannu only sang two sentences and was already dragged down. He hurriedly looked at Xue Bai with pleading eyes.
Xue Bai didn't know why she wanted to sing this opera, but he knew that she was indeed the most outstanding candidate, so he said: "Huang Neiguan, I want to choose her to sing the opera, is it okay?"
“Don’t be surprised, Xue Lang. I can’t decide this matter. I have to ask the Jiaofang envoy.
Before Huang Hui finished speaking, a young eunuch hurried over and reported: "Huang Gong, Wei Lang is here. He had a quarrel with Xue Lang's companions, lost his temper, and said that he would go to the saint to complain."
“What happened again?!”
“That is...that is...fighting for Zhang Siniang...
