I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Congratulations, the export has been upgraded to level 3!"

Now I’m finally out of entanglement, anyway, there are only 10 points left, just like there is only one tael of silver in the bag, so I won’t think about whether to take concubines, how many, is it a girl from the Naliang family, or go to the brothel to redeem an oiran

and so on.

In a blink of an eye, the golden osmanthus is fragrant.

In the morning of this day, Yan Changqing and Gong Zheng visited together.

After exchanging courtesies, Yan Changqing suddenly gave a long bow and said, "Gu Jieyuan, thanks to your blessings, I will lead the troupe to the capital and enter the palace to perform in The Story of the West Chamber."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help being shocked and said: "Is this really true?"

"It's absolutely true, this matter was conveyed by the Jinhua government office to my subordinates, saying that it was the empress dowager's intention.

It is said that the empress dowager had read Gu Jieyuan's "The Story of the West Chamber" and admired it quite a lot. She also heard that I edited this play, and the effect was not bad. Therefore, I was able to win this honor. "

"congratulations!"

Gu Ming immediately cupped his hands in congratulations.

After all, it is not an easy task for a troupe to perform in the palace.

Basically, almost all the top troupes in the capital can enter the harem, and the troupes outside the capital have almost no operas.

Once you enter the palace, as long as you don't mess up, rewards are inevitable.

If the performance is good and those empresses are happy to watch, the reward will be even richer.

Of course, the reward is only one aspect, what is more important is the troupe's face and reputation.

It is not an exaggeration to say that once Yan Changqing's troupe enters the palace this time, as long as they perform normally, they will surely become famous in the capital afterward.

If you're lucky, you might just flourish and take root in the capital for development.

"Actually," Yan Changqing sighed: "I am both excited and worried about entering the palace to act this time.

I'm afraid that something will go wrong at that time, it's a small matter of embarrassment, I'm afraid that I will offend all the empresses and implicate the rest of the troupe. "

"Team leader Yan doesn't need to have a psychological burden, just keep a normal mentality."

"Well, today I came here specially to thank Gu Jieyuan, and to say something personally.

By the way, the Farewell My Concubine you handed over to me last time, I have already queued it up, it's really good! "

"That's right, I'm also preparing for this drama, and I expect to have an audition in another four or five days. At that time, I would like to invite Gu Jieyuan to come and give guidance."

Gu Ming couldn't help laughing and said: "Squad Master Gong is quite efficient, okay, I will let you know when the time comes."

After chatting for a while, Yan Changqing and Yan Changqing bid farewell and left.

Not long after, another person came to the door in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand.

"Excuse me, is the young master Gu Jieyuan?"

"Exactly!"

"Little man Hou San, I met Gu Jieyuan!"

Hou San saluted Gu Ming first, then handed over the envelope in his hand, and said: "The villain is a servant of Tang Jieyuan's mansion in Gusu, this time I send a greeting card to Gu Jieyuan by the order of the young master."

After hearing what Hou San said, Gu Ming showed a strange expression: "Your son is Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Tang Bohu, whose real name is Tang Yan, is Bohu.

However, in Jiangnan, almost all scholars used to call him Tang Bohu or Tang Jieyuan when they mentioned him.

Of course, the name of "Jie Yuan" is not just for fun, but Tang Bohu's reputation was obtained through a serious examination.

In other words, he was number one in Jiangnan in the provincial examination that year.

At that time, many people said that he had the talent of the number one scholar, and he would definitely be named on the gold list in the coming year.

But he never thought that Tang Bohu gave up the exam, and spent his days drinking, reciting poems, planting flowers, painting, and flirting with girls. Therefore, he was also dubbed a "talented talent".

In fact, it's not just Jiangnan, but anyone who has a bit of knowledge who doesn't know the names of the four great talents in Jiangnan?

Especially Tang Bohu, who is recognized as the head of the four great talents.

Even many princes and ministers in the capital tried their best to obtain a painting and calligraphy from Tang Bohu.

It's just that Tang Bohu has always been proud of his talents, and he will not easily write and paint for others, even if the opponent has high authority.

Therefore, when Gu Ming heard that Tang Bohu took the initiative to send someone from Gusu to send the greeting card, he would inevitably be a little surprised.

"It's my son."

Hou San replied respectfully.

"Oh"

Gu Ming responded, opened the envelope and looked at it, and there was indeed a greeting card and a letter inside.

Looking at the elegant font, it was probably written by Tang Bohu himself.

The content of the letter is not much, the first few sentences are polite words among scholars, and the last few sentences are an invitation to Gu Ming to go to Gusu to participate in the Jingui Poetry and Painting Fair.

The Jingui Poetry and Painting Association is a grand gathering among scholars in Gusu Prefecture, and it is said that it has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Every time after the results of the township examination are released, when the golden osmanthus is fragrant, some candidates who have won the exam will invite some classmates and friends to celebrate together.

Slowly, it evolved into a poetry and painting event where scholars communicate with each other.

However, not everyone can participate in this poetry and painting meeting, and must be invited.

And almost all the people invited were local scholars from Gusu Prefecture.

This can also be regarded as a regional concept. After all, Gusu Prefecture is known as the hometown of talented scholars, and the scholars here will inevitably be a little arrogant.

Just like those princes in the capital, when they see outsiders, no matter where you come from, they will almost be classified as "country people".

"Gu Jieyuan, my young master also said that he made a special trip to read your Dream of the Red Chamber and admired your writing very much."

"Haha, is that right? I was so busy reading the letter that I forgot to ask you to sit in the courtyard and make tea quickly."

"No, no, no," Hou San waved his hands anxiously: "The villain is just sending a letter, and I have to rush back to Gusu Mansion to report to my young master."

"Well, then you still have to wait for a while, I will reply a letter."

After a while, Gu Ming came out with a letter and handed it to Hou San with a piece of silver.

"Please give this letter to Tang Jieyuan, and the five taels of silver will be your money."

"Gu Jieyuan, this must not be too much, the villain dare not accept it."

Five taels of silver is nothing to a rich family, but to an ordinary servant, it is a bit surprising.

Of course, it is impossible for Gu Ming to be so generous to everyone who sends letters. The main reason is that Hou San travels a long way to send a letter, and then he has to return.

This trip is more than 1000 miles, and it should be rewarded for hard work

This weekend willfully add an update, please ask for the next monthly ticket, monthly ticket, monthly ticket and recommendation ticket

Chapter 121 The Ghost King Steals a Marriage!

Waiting for Sanyi to leave, Nie Xiaoqian walked up to Gu Ming and asked softly, "Gu Lang, are you going to Gusu Mansion?"

"Well, since Tang Jieyuan sincerely invites me, I naturally can't refuse."

"Just" Speaking of this, Nie Xiaoqian hesitated for a while.

Seeing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but smiled: "Why, are you worried that someone will make things difficult for me?"

"Um"

Nie Xiaoqian sighed quietly.

"I heard that most of the talented people in Gusu Mansion are proud of their talents. This time, Gu Lang hand-picked Xie Yuan, there must be many people who are jealous and dissatisfied.

So there might be someone taking the opportunity to make trouble at this gathering, for example, Dongfang Bubai and Fang Tangjing who were here last time. "

"Xiaoqian, don't worry about this."

Gu Ming took Nie Xiaoqian's hand and walked to the stone table and sat down.

"On poetry, poetry, chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, why should your husband be afraid of them?"

Upon hearing the word Xianggong, Nie Xiaoqian's face turned red with embarrassment.

Gu Ming couldn't help but raised his hand to gently caress the beauty's warm and delicate face, and continued: "Let's talk about martial arts.

Therefore, even if someone makes things difficult, they can only seek humiliation. "

"Then do you want me to go with you?" Nie Xiaoqian asked in a low voice.

Gu Ming shook his head: "No need, we are not familiar with the Gusu Mansion, if some expert finds out your identity, it may cause some unnecessary entanglements.

For now, it is safer for you to stay in Guobei County.

Firstly, your father is the county magistrate of Guobei, and secondly, with Mr. Song and Mr. Yan sitting outside the city separately, nothing major will happen. "

Nie Xiaoqian nodded first, and then said: "If you want Yu'er to go with you, I can take care of your daily life along the way. Besides, now you are Jie Yuan anyway, and you must have a maid to serve you."

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, I'm not like some sons who like to talk about pomp, and hug each other as soon as I go out."

The two chatted for a while, and then Nie Xiaoqian got up to pack some belongings for Gu Ming.

Gu Ming went out, went to the county government office to find his father-in-law, informed him, and invited him to the dinner.

Afterwards, I went to the study again, and invited Su Ling, He Yong and others to have a drink together in Zuixianlou in the evening.

When it was dark, a group of people made an appointment to meet in the reserved private room, needless to say it was a lot of excitement.

He Yongliang and Dong Sheng were very envious of Gu Ming going to Gusu to participate in the Jingui Poetry and Painting Fair.

In the circle of scholars in Jiangnan, and even the whole country, this can be regarded as the most famous and most desirable event.

There is also a similar party in Beijing, with a higher standard and more participants.

However, the atmosphere is fundamentally different.

The Jingui Poetry and Painting Association can be described as a gathering of talented scholars and beautiful ladies, and its main purpose is to exchange poems and songs with each other.

Over the years, every Poetry and Painting Fair will have some well-known masterpieces and sentences, or stories about talented scholars and beauties.

As for the largest Spring Poetry Club in the capital city, it has a "poetry" in its name, but in fact, more than half of its members are dude disciples in Beijing, and there are a lot of fake and arty people.

To put it bluntly, it was almost a fun-seeking event.

"Xing, this time you go to Gusu Mansion, you have to shake things up, especially Dongfang Bubai, Fang Tangjing and others. Don't show them any sympathy."

"Yes, yes, last time those two guys came to us with their nostrils turned upside down, as if I were the best in the world. This time, you have to mock them when you go to Gusu Mansion."

Hearing what He Yongliang and the others said, Gu Ming couldn't help but shook his head: "What's the point of doing this? They are called villains. If I mock them for no reason, wouldn't I be like them?"

"Gu Lang is right, it's not worth worrying about with that kind of person."

He Yongliang couldn't help muttering: "No matter what your Gu Lang says, you are right."

Su Ling couldn't help stroking her lips and said with a smile: "Stupid, this is called husband singing and wife following."

"cough"

Nie Hongshu couldn't help coughing dryly: "Okay, come on, come on, I would like to toast everyone, thank you for your support to me all the time."

"No, no, no, how can you make Master Nie toast, we should respect Master Nie!"

"Yes, let's toast Master Nie together."

After a while, Lin Xiaoshan shyly picked up the wine glass and said to Gu Ming: "Thanks to Mr. Gu's blessing, Yong Liangfang and I were able to get married. The little girl here expresses her gratitude with a glass of wine."

"Okay, my lord also wishes you and Le Ping to have a son soon, it will be a big deal at that time, let's celebrate."

Hearing this, He Yongliang immediately raised his wine glass with a smile on his face and stood up, "It's almost there, hahaha!"

While speaking, he deliberately glanced at Lin Xiaoshan's stomach.

"Yeah? Leping, you can do it, but you've been hiding it from everyone." Su Ling couldn't help but run away.

"It's not a secret, I only found out in two days."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.

After drinking a few cups, Gu Ming glanced at Dong Sheng and said with a smile, "Dong Sheng, Le Ping is about to become a father, Cai Chen has a crush, and you are still eating dog food."
