If the musicians of the Winter Academy are mediocre and have no connections, they will be stuck in the assessment and selection every year. The department calls this Xiaguan, but this year Cui Li suddenly intensified. Be particularly ruthless.

"Cui Cheng, Ye Nu didn't know much when he first came here. If his hand is useless, he will never be able to play the pipa again." Xu Kuo crawled over in a panic and kowtowed, "Please forgive him, please forgive him , Ye Nu, say a few words quickly."

Cui Li laughed, and raised his boots leisurely: "I'll forgive you this time." Ye Nu didn't want to swallow, but the pain was so painful that he couldn't argue, so he had to pat the blood and mud off his hands and clean up the mess left on the pipa.

With one kick, Cui Li kicked the pipa to the side again, and said with a twisted mouth: "How? Don't think that the prime minister doesn't know that some civil servants in the Chunyuan have been working with you for a long time, doing some shameful tricks .”

Ye Nu clenched his palms tightly, he couldn't bear it anymore, if he could bear it any longer, he might not even be able to keep the warmth of sending a letter home: "Cui Cheng, I let them play it." Cui Li said: "Just you?" Ye Nu said : "It's just me."

At that time, taking advantage of Cui Li's unpreparedness, Ye Nu yelled to embolden him, and with all his strength, he flashed up and punched Cui Li in the face.A punch hit the bridge of the nose, causing nosebleeds. Cui Li screamed like a pig, covered his face and backed away repeatedly, and Ye Nu's fingers creaked, dislocated due to excessive force.

The courtyard suddenly became a mess, some people were angry, some people were laughing, the strings were scattered all over the ground, the handyman was scrubbing the blood back and forth, and there was a fishy smell in the wind.Gu Yue and Zhang Jian rushed over after hearing the news, and they saw Cui Li's face was full of nosebleeds, angrily ordered the rest of the music class to return to their positions and continue training.Ye Nu himself endured the pain, trembling his lips, without a single tear in his eyes.

"Zhang Lang, ask Sanbo and the others to carry them." Gu Yue strode into the arena, helped Xu Kuo and the others, pulled out a piece of cloth, pinched Ye Nu's hand, and bandaged it in twos and outs, "You first Go back with Zhang Lang and apply medicine to the bone."

Cui Li put his hands behind his back, and when he saw that Gu Yue was ignoring him and giving orders, his nosebleeds spurted out again: "Does Gu Lang still have Ben Cheng in his eyes? Gu Shiba is doing a living outside the imperial city, don't force Ben Cheng speak out."

Gu Yue just turned around and took a look at Cui Li: "I'm sorry, Cui Cheng is worried, it's easy for exiled officials to be dismissed, Gu Mou handed over the official document to Taichang Temple today, and he can leave within ten days, just don't embarrass their innocent people. "

Cui Li sneered: "Do you think you can afford it alone? Listen, everyone in Jixian Pavilion, except He Lian, has retired to the Advocacy Department because of their inexperienced skills, and will never be admitted." Su An gritted his teeth, his eyes flushed.

Such a punishment is like a blizzard in the cold winter for musicians. Not only will it be branded with shame for the rest of their lives, but also no one can bear it when they are hungry and cold.

Then Cui Li took out his silk handkerchief and wiped his face: "Gu Lang, I just want to clean up the style of Tai Le Department, so I don't care about you." Gu Yue said: "Okay." Ye Nu was startled and pulled him back Gu Yue's sleeves were immediately let go.

Under Cui Li's order, all Xie Lu Lang surrounded them, Zhang Jian, San Bo and others had no choice but to bow their heads, and hurriedly carried the injured people including Ye Nu out, temporarily quelling the dispute.

In the next afternoon, Jixian Pavilion was extremely stuffy, Ye Nu, Xu Kuo, and Meng Yue were lying on the couch, the three of them were covered with the same straw mat on their backs, gasping for breath in pain.Ye Nu asked Zhang Jian to straighten his hand bones, because he had suffered dislocations several times before, so he didn't suffer too much.

Zhang Jian is young and gray-haired, kind-hearted, and he doesn't talk much. He only claims to have practiced medicine.Ye Nu responded with a forced smile, "Last time, Zhang Lang showed me heat stroke, but this time it's troublesome again." Zhang Jian nodded, his two white eyebrows moved slightly, and he unscrewed a white porcelain bottle in his hand: Take the medicine, Mr. Li is also involved, but Gu Lang is still mediating."

Miss Xiuxin was still wearing a red skirt, and when she saw Xu Kuo's injury, she burst into tears and her eyes swelled into peaches: "It is said that you are living an honest life, and why is Lang provoking those snakes and rats? The imperial city is always full of wind and waves. , whoever flips the oars, a single wave will kill those of us who don't know anything."

Xu Kuo stood up, patted Xiuxin on the back, smiled generously, and comforted her: "I'm used to it. Last year it was Ningxiu Pavilion next door. This year it's our turn. This Cui Cheng doesn't beat people, who cares about him?" Good thing."

Meng Yue picked up a needle: "Cui Cheng really doesn't treat people in Dongyuan as human beings, so why are you trying to make things difficult for us? It's running against Gu Lang and Asu." Xiuxin snatched the needle and thread, and fetched the clothes , immersed himself in helping to mend.She is slightly fat, but the movements of her hands are endless.Meng Yue's ears turned red, and she couldn't make a sound anymore.

Ye Nu was weak, and received the most severe whip. Even after applying medicine, his whole body was still burning, the pain was severe, and his head was dizzy.Xiuxin said that she had a younger brother who was as old as him, and her heart ached so much that she poured him a glass of water.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." It's just that Ye Nu is never used to women approaching. As soon as Xiuxin's slender fingers approached, he was frightened and hid far away, not daring to touch her. "Thank you Xiuxin Sister-in-law."

It was night, with torrential rain, thunder and lightning, and the honeysuckle patterns on the windows lit up and dimmed, resembling a human breath.Suddenly, lights were lit outside the pavilion, and two people entered the door, one was Gu Yue, and the other was Li Shengping who had no expression on his face.

Ye Nu was lying on the couch, seeing Gu Yue, he felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he was very reserved in front of others, but because Gu Yue had seen him in the most embarrassing appearance, so he was a little closer.

"Gu Lang, Gu Lang." Ye Nu stretched out his hand, regardless of who Li Shengping was, just grabbed Gu Yue's wet sleeve and rubbed his face against it, "I'm in so much pain, it hurts so much, it hurts so much !"

Gu Yue took off his hat, frowned and said, "Let me see your injuries." Ye Nu grinned again, "I'm lying to you, I'm fine." Gu Yue took a deep breath: "Be obedient, Master Li also At this."

When the straw mat was lifted up, Ye Nu trembled all over, the welts on his back were swollen and purple, and a string of pus bubbles formed at the edge of the bloody flesh, and the back that was originally as delicate as tofu, suffered from this disaster, and squeezed out. bloody.

"Lord Li, I have been a civil servant of the Spring Courtyard for three years because of your kindness." Gu Yue was rarely at peace. , you can't ignore it."

Until this moment, Ye Nu could hear from the conversation between Gu Yue and Li Shengping that not only Jixian Pavilion, but also many musicians in Dongyuan had been raped by Cui Li, and even some gangs were entangled by Cui Li. stalk.

After finishing speaking, Li Shengping looked at Ye Nu and sighed: "This is what Mr. Li is doing, and Li is fine here." After speaking, he shook the candle and left without paying attention, even the water on the table was gone. Did not touch a bite.

After a while of silence, Gu Yue suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with mist: "Su An." Ye Nu let go of his hand: "What are you doing?" Gu Yue said: "Don't be brave, I will take care of you in the future." Ye Nu The slave responded weakly: "Okay."

No matter how much filth he encounters, Ye Nu always thinks about it. He wants to see the most magnificent scenery in the world, and let every song buried under the tree shine brightly surrounded by flower terraces and water pavilions. For this reason, he is willing to go through all kinds of hardships .

It's just that he didn't expect that soon after, the Tai Le Department would change the sky.Gu Yue did several things one after another, one was to submit his resignation directly to Wei Heng's residence in Taichang Temple, the other was to settle the accounts of the purchase of musical instruments for three years with the old men of the Zhao family in Chongrenfang, and the third was to ask the Taile Department Chunyuan Little official, it is clear who is coming and who is not, just have a meal of wine.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Taichang Temple's assessment of Taiyue and Advocacy Departments arrived as scheduled. Each music troupe was assessed by Yue Zheng, Dr. Yinsheng and Xie Lulang in batches. Le Cheng Cui Li assesses Le Zheng.

At the time of You, with the sound of a small drum in a hurry, an old man in a purple official robe entered the courtyard.When the eighth rank saw the third rank, Cui Li hurriedly knelt down and performed two salutes.Li Shengping raised his eyes and glanced, stood up and bowed gently.

Wei Heng got off the chariot, walked straight to the winter courtyard, threw away Cui Li who was holding the umbrella for him a few feet away, rubbed his sparse beard with eagle claw hands, and asked: "Shengping, listen to yourself, What a tone these instruments are."

The pipas held in the hands of the musicians are bright in color and the sound is smooth and firm. The outsiders will naturally feel that they are too beautiful when they see them, but the sensible experts, such as Li Shengping, will immediately understand that these pipas have never been used to practice. .

Amidst the noisy noise, Han Changjun, dressed in white, walked over unhurriedly with a cane, and added: "It's the first time for the children to use the new pipa today, and they are not familiar with it, so there are many mistakes. Please excuse me."

For a moment, Cui Li was caught off guard, and a few strands of sweat ooze from the forehead: "Master Wei, this is only the winter courtyard, and the pipa in the summer courtyard is not like this. He knows Shengping, and the elders of the pavilion..." Wei Heng shouted: " The officer is not afraid!"

Today's Holy One loves the pipa, and those who live in Lexing who don't know how to play the pipa will feel ashamed.Taichang Temple allocates [-] yuan to the Taile Department every year, which is dedicated to the purchase of pipas from the Zhao family in Chongrenfang. A minister, if the pot is full, he will pour it out. Once he is involved in the power struggle in the imperial city, if he offends anyone, he will have to go to the prison of Dali Temple, and there will be no day to recover.

"Born as a Jinshi, he was not benevolent. He was Tai Le Cheng for ten years. He abused public power and accepted more than a hundred nephews. He couldn't recognize his relatives if he was not a hundred dollars. He even corrupted hundreds of thousands of public funds. Heinous!"
