Bright Spring

Li Louxian seemed to have heard Mu Zhen's voice, and came here!

Mu Zhen looked a little flattered.Geng Hao couldn't help thinking: That's just an actor, my cousin is much more noble than her, is there anything wrong?

"Miss Li's last rehearsal of the new play, I didn't watch all of it, I have something to do, will Miss Li still sing today?" Mu Zhen asked politely.

There was a smile in Li Louxian's eyes, but she didn't dare to smile with confidence, her face was covered with makeup.She spoke very gently, and said in a soft voice: "Respond to Miss Mu's words, and we will sing in the second performance. Today the entire theater troupe was invited by the King of Han, and it is a gift from the King of Han to Mrs. Mu. There is also a gift, which is The king of Han gave it to Miss Mu."

"Why did the King of Han give me something?" Mu Zhen asked softly, giving Geng Hao a sideways glance.

Li Louxian has already taken out a booklet from his arms, "I copied the playbook of "The Romance of the West Chamber" by myself. I stayed up all night last night in order to finish it in a hurry. Today is a bit late. If Miss sees Xipinghou , I also hope that Miss will apologize on behalf of my concubine."

Mu Zhen took the playbook, and immediately put aside the worries just now, and was immediately overjoyed.

Li Lou bent his knees slightly and said: "I dare not keep the guests of the Hou Mansion waiting, I will leave first."

Mu Zhen pointed to the script and said, "Thank you Miss Li."

At this time, Geng Hao was already full of sourness and bitterness!He glanced at the box containing the pearl bracelet in his hand... The cousin said it was beautiful, but she immediately forgot it after just one glance; but Han Wang asked an actor to give a broken playbook, and she treated it like a treasure!

Geng Hao thought to himself: People in this world only flock to the rich and powerful!I thought that my cousin would emerge from the mud without being stained, but seeing what she did, it was nothing more than that.It's just because the King of Han is powerful and powerful, so it's easy to make my cousin excited like this... Are you afraid that you would rather be a concubine than a poor person like me as a treasure?

Geng Hao didn't want to argue with his cousin anymore, he had clearly said more than once: he hates King of Han!But the cousin still didn't know how to restrain herself, and turned her words on deaf ears.

What else?

"This is the playbook that Li Louxian copied by himself. Cousin knows that I like Li Louxian's plays." Mu Zhen said cautiously.

Geng Hao suppressed the anger in his chest forcibly, suppressed a smile on his face, and nodded: "Can you lend me a look?"

At this moment, Mu Zhen was a little hesitant, Geng Hao saw her holding the playbook with both hands, his heart felt like a big bag of ice cubes had been stuffed into his heart, his whole heart turned cold.

Mu Zhen seemed to have made a lot of determination, and finally handed over the broken "treasure": "As long as it's mine, if my cousin wants it, I'll give it to you!" Geng Hao took it and flipped through it casually.

At this time, the sound of silk, bamboo, gongs and drums sounded again on the stage, as if singing was about to start.Mu Zhen turned her head to look at the stage, Geng Hao said, "I'll come as soon as I go."

Mu Zhen hurriedly said: "I'll wait for you here, cousin, don't wander around, I promised others."

Promised someone else?It's just that the official in the inner hall wants to look at me like a thief.

Geng Hao took the playbook and went straight to a hut in the corner of the courtyard behind a row of verandahs.He went around the wall, opened the curtain, cursed and threw the playbook into the latrine!The enemy who killed grandfather, his things are only worthy of being thrown into the latrine!

Geng Hao seemed to feel better, and walked out of the hut, facing an official in green robe who was smiling and looking at him, and immediately bowed to this side again.

"You are..." Geng Hao hurriedly returned the gift.

This person is considered young among the officials, maybe not yet 30 years old, he said: "I am Hu Ke, who is responsible for Shi Zhonghu, dare to ask my brother Gao's name?"

Geng Hao frowned and said, "I don't seem to know Your Excellency, what can I do?"

The official named Hu Wei pointed to the box in Geng Hao's hand, and said, "I saw my brother at the main entrance building, but I didn't give you a present, but someone came in?"

Geng Hao said: "I know people from the Mu family."

Hu Mei said: "Everyone who came here today knows the Marquis of Xiping."

"I haven't broken the law, so I don't need to be interrogated." Geng Hao raised his legs and was about to leave.

"Hey! Brother, I misunderstood. I asked too many questions. There are mistakes." Hu Min said, "But brother threw away the playbook of that beautiful girl. How can I explain it? I just saw that girl seems to like the playbook very much." ah."

Geng Hao stopped immediately: "What do you mean, Your Excellency? When did I throw the playbook into the latrine? It fell down accidentally!"

"So that's how it is..." Hu Wei nodded and said, "Brother, I live on Baoensi Street in the east of the city, near the west end of the street. You can ask the waiters in the shops nearby. Many people know that there is a Beijing official."

Geng Hao said: "Your Excellency is so strange, I have never met you before, why did I come to you?"

Hu Mei said: "I just want to say first, we can meet, that is fate, what if little brother wants to find me?"

Geng Hao shook his head, cupped his fists and said, "Farewell."

That Hu Yan was very annoying, at this time he said: "From the accent of my brother, it seems that he is from the capital?"

Geng Hao didn't answer, and left without looking back.Walking to the corner of the corridor in front, Geng Hao glanced back, and saw that Hu Yan was still looking at him.Seeing him turning back, Hu Yan nodded slightly again.

He thought to himself: Only officials who wear blue official robes?I have seen it a lot, if my grandfather was still alive, this kind of person would not be worthy of carrying my shoes!

Geng Hao went back to the stage and found Mu Zhen.Sure enough, Mu Zhen saw him coming back empty-handed, and immediately asked, "Cousin, where is my script?"

"I accidentally fell into the latrine." Geng Hao said bravely.He was ready to be scolded by his cousin.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhen was silent for a long time, and then suddenly sighed "ah".Geng Hao was a little confused, and hurriedly said: "Cousin scold me!"

Mu Zhen shook her head: "I know my cousin is not feeling well."

Geng Hao didn't understand what the cousin meant for a while.

Chapter 223 Interesting Play

Zhu Gaoxu still vividly remembers the scene of Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen's death in battle. . .

Before he died, Geng Bingwen said that he would rather die in battle than grow old and be humiliated, so he asked Gao Xu to fulfill his evening.The old general grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's knife and killed himself.

Zhu Gaoxu recalled the past again, and he still has no regrets, because he felt that even if Geng Bingwen didn't die on the battlefield, he might not survive; in this case, a general who has lived his life as a soldier would be better off dying on the battlefield.

Today Zhu Gaoxu saw Geng Bingwen's own sister at the birthday banquet, so he wanted to talk about that: he killed Changxing Marquis only because he respected Marquis Changxing from the bottom of his heart.But Zhu Gaoxu finally didn't say it out, after all, it was at the birthday banquet, and it was inappropriate to mention the sadness of the Geng family.

Mrs. Mu's birthday banquet will last for three days, but Zhu Gaoxu left after having lunch.Mu Sheng personally sent it to the outside of the main gate building, and watched Zhu Gaoxu's hundreds of people leave with a grand guard of honor.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Hanwang Mansion, and as soon as he entered Duanli's gate, a 'guard' came forward and said: "My lord, there is a man in the 'gate' building who claims to be from Shen's mansion. He came here to deliver a letter. But if you are waiting at the 'gate', you must see the prince with your own eyes."

"Bring it here." Zhu Gaoxu stopped.

Not long after, a commoner man followed the 'guard' to the wide brick floor in the main 'gate' building.The man stepped forward and kowtowed, presenting a letter with both hands.The eunuch next to Zhu Gaoxu picked it up. Seeing Zhu Gaoxu nodding, the eunuch tore open the seal and took out the letter.

Zhu Gaoxu opened it and saw that it was Shen Xushi's personal letter... Last time he asked Shen Xushi if she wrote the words on the post; the words on the letter paper in front of him were written by the same person.

There are only a few elegant but resilient running script lines.The content reads that at the birthday banquet in Mu's Mansion, Hu Wei had a conversation with Mu Zhen's cousin Geng Hao, which was seen by Li Louxian from Liyuan.

After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu put away the letter, ignored the sender, and continued to walk north.

Why did Shen Xu want to report this news?Zhu Gaoxu silently figured out her intentions.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter still could not be explained, and Shen Xu agreed to take refuge in the Han Palace... Zhu Gaoxu had seen her indifferent.Shen Xushi didn't immediately agree to Zhu Gaoxu that night, just wanted to hold back.

Just as she expressed her doubts that night, she and Zhu Gaoxu are not on equal footing.The unequal status may make her feel that the Shen residence will still be annexed by Zhu Gaoxu in some way.

But Shen Xu also wanted to get some protection from Zhu Gaoxu, and was even more unwilling to offend Han Palace.So this whistleblowing is a kind of show of favor and closeness?
