He knew that it would rain tonight, but at that time the palace gate had already been locked, and he should have stayed in the Qianqing Palace to review the memorials.

But with such enthusiasm for the handlebar style, Gu Li still bought one.The handlebar smiled and took out a newspaper from his arms, raised it and said: "This "Da Chu Morning News", here, look, the daily weather above is very accurate, since it is said that it will be released tonight If it rains, it will definitely rain!"

Gu Li couldn't help laughing.

The handlebar said: "The show in Xuanchengbo's house today is not ordinary! It is said that the gang of talents from the Fushe in Nanjing have come, and they want to see a new production of "The Peony" at Xuanchengbo's house. Ting Resurrection"!"

Gu Li knew that Fushe was a poetry society formed by some literati in the late Ming Dynasty, including the literati circle in the late Ming Dynasty.Even Fushe's implementation of the retro style of writing affected the literary aesthetics of the examiners of the imperial examinations, which in turn affected the imperial examinations.

Gu Li is quite interested. His "Da Chu Morning News" is aimed at these scholars. Today is just a chance to test the attitude of these students towards the morning paper.

However, imagination is very beautiful, reality is very cruel.Gu Li was stopped outside Xuanchengbo's mansion because he didn't have an invitation card.

In front of the Xuancheng uncle's mansion, there is an endless stream of horses and horses, and there are many and mixed guests, including imperial court dignitaries, scholars, and beautiful Jiangnan prostitutes.

Gu Li's face is rare for ordinary people, but it's not uncommon for relatives.Gu Li couldn't make them recognize him, and kept half-covering his face with a handkerchief, and it was even more difficult to get entangled in the gate at this time, so he could only retreat silently.

As the sky darkened, he stood outside alone, and not many people noticed him for a while.Gu Li was thinking about how to go in and find Chen Feng, when he heard someone calling him, "Is it Ruolan?"

Gu Li turned his head, and saw a literati walking forward.This literati looks quite upright, with two long beards, handsome and ethereal.If it weren't for his eyes staying on him for a longer time, and his eyes showing a little more, Gu Li would have believed him even more as an upright scholar.

The scholar met Gu Li's eyes, Gu Li saw that this person was not a courtier, but an ordinary student, so he put down his handkerchief.The scribe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

Gu Li asked: "Are you going to Xuancheng Bo's Mansion to listen to an opera?"

The scribe nodded and said with a smile: "I have an appointment with someone, I waited for a long time, and I admitted the wrong person, my dear brother, please forgive me."

"Well, I'm also going to listen to "The Peony Pavilion Resurrection". I have no choice but to forget the invitation at home and wait for my servant to fetch it."

"It's also these servants who have poor eyesight and asked my virtuous brother to blow the cold wind here. My virtuous brother will go in with me."

These words hit Gu Li's heart, and he immediately obeyed his orders and entered the mansion together with the scribes.

The two chatted, and the scribe was called Tan Mo.Gu Li claimed that he was from Yixing, and his surname was Gu, so let him call himself Gu Yixing.

The scribe was surprised and said: "Is my virtuous brother the Gu Yixing who published the article in the "Da Chu Morning News"?"

Gu Li was pleasantly surprised: "What? Brother Xian has read it?"

The scribes praised: "My virtuous brother's insight is simply deafening and enlightening! It is a great joy in life to be able to meet a virtuous brother here!"

Gu Li was so flattered by him that he almost thought that once he traveled back to modern times, he would be able to pass the public examination immediately.The two happily entered Xuancheng Bo's mansion, and Tan Mo took him to a remote place, where two strange young men and two young girls were already sitting.

Tan Mo greeted each other with the two young men, and sat down with Gu Li.Gu Li took a look at the two of them, they were both young talents, one of them was Yang Tingbi, and he was born with a handsome appearance, like green bamboo and white snow, if there were really a scholar's seed in the world, he should look like him.

As soon as Gu Li asked, sure enough, this Yang Tingbi was a well-known scholar, and Tan Moyan spoke highly of him, and it seemed that he was a leader in the southern literary world.

If Yang Tingbi is determined to continue the scientific research, he will definitely be able to enter the court and become an official.When Gu Li looked at him, he couldn't help showing some love for talents, and said kindly: "I don't know where brother Tingbi is from?"

Yang Tingbi glanced at him, and said coldly: "Public security personnel."

Gu Li smiled and said: "Brother Yang is from Chu, it's a good place, there are many heroes..."

Yang Tingbi didn't disagree, and raised the wine cup to look not far away.

The atmosphere was a bit cold for a while, and the young man beside Yang Tingbi smoothed things over and said, "Haven't you asked this brother Gao's name?"

Tan Mo hurriedly introduced: "This virtuous brother is Gu Yixing from "Da Chu Morning News."

The young man was rather startled, as if he wanted to laugh but was struggling to hide it because of his feelings.Yang Tingbi also glanced at Gu Li, but said nothing.

Gu Li was still waiting for these two people to praise him, but he didn't expect these two people to be so ignorant.

The two beautiful girls were singing girls of the Qinhuai River, both of whom were able to write and draw well. They exchanged a few sentences with a smile, and the atmosphere became warm and friendly for a while.

The number of people gradually increased, and Gu Li saw that many of the guests were courtiers. It would be embarrassing if they bumped into them, and Chen Feng should be here, so he couldn't let him break through.

He found an excuse to escape quietly.

Tan Mo disappeared Gu Li in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help feeling disappointed.A literati next to him said jokingly: "Brother Tan, you are really unkind. After getting to know such a beautiful woman, you didn't introduce them to us."

Tan Mo smiled and remained silent.

Yang Tingbi frowned and said: "The one just now is also a scholar, everyone, please don't be so offensive."

At this time, Uncle Xuan Cheng brought people forward and greeted everyone, gradually more people gathered in this place.Someone asked: "I heard that a newspaper called "Da Chu Morning News" was recently published in the capital. I wonder which virtuous brother wrote it?"

One person sneered and said, "Vulgar vernacular, it's insulting to gentleness, it's not worth mentioning."

Everyone followed suit, Yang Tingbi sat aside and did not speak.

Someone grabbed Uncle Xuancheng and asked Da Chu about the treasure banknote: "Can the treasure banknote really be exchanged for silver?", "This treasure banknote will never be like Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty. Is it worth money?" Some people wanted to ask if Xuan Chengbo had any relationship with the household department, and if he could exchange silver for some more precious banknotes.

In the midst of this din, the show finally began.On the stage not far away, with dim lights and dim shadows, Du Liniang is lamenting her youth in the spring garden, accompanied by the theater troupe.

There were many courtiers and Chinese officials among the guests, so Gu Li covered his face with a scarf and walked to a place with few people, looking for Chen Feng's figure.He walked around from the front hall to the back garden, and saw a lot of handsome young men, but none of them were Chen Feng.He wanted to identify Chen Feng through the color of his eyes, but the light here was weak, if he wasn't close to the face, he couldn't see the color of his eyes clearly.

It's also strange, didn't Jiang Xiasheng receive the news that his informant is here watching Chen Feng?But now he not only can't find Chen Feng, but also doesn't know who Jiang Xiasheng's informant Gong Er is.

Gu Li strolled towards the backyard.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the front door, and the servants stopped him repeatedly, but Jiang Xiasheng and his group were forced to come in.

The appearance of the servants from Shuntian Mansion made the atmosphere of the originally lively church turn into a sudden turn for the worse.Uncle Xuancheng's expression was not good, and he asked: "What are you, you dare to come to my uncle's mansion to act wildly?!"

Jiang Xiasheng said: "I was ordered to come to arrest the traitor, please forgive me, Uncle Xuan Cheng."

Uncle Xuancheng showed displeasure, and a literati said loudly: "You mean that there are traitors hiding in this uncle's mansion?! What do you mean?"

Gu Li vaguely heard Jiang Xiasheng's voice, it seems that he came to arrest Chen Feng, and he needed to find Chen Fengcai as soon as possible.

It's just that although Xuan Chengbo's mansion is not as grand as the Forbidden City, it is a big house with five entrances, and Gu Li is a newcomer, so he got lost after a short walk.

"This looks like a place where servants live..." Fortunately, Jiang Xiasheng attracted the firepower ahead, and most of the servants rushed to the front yard.Gu Li wandered around in the yard, Xuancheng Bo's mansion is too big, it is very easy to hide a person, I don't know if Chen Feng is there or where he is hiding.

At this time, Gu Li passed by the woodshed, glanced at it casually, caught his eye for a moment, and caught a glimpse of a small animal tied up in the woodshed?

Gu Li stopped and stepped back. It was not a small animal, but a child? !

Vaguely seeing a red mole on his forehead, Gu Li gasped, pushed open the door of the firewood room, and helped the unconscious child up: "Kitty! Kitty!"

God is so pitiful that he actually found Zhou Wenshen's orphan in Xuanchengbo's mansion!

How could the kitten be chained in the woodshed of Uncle Xuancheng's house?And unconscious?

Fortunately, there was no injury on the child, except that his lips were chapped and he was unconscious. He looked like he was exhausted from starvation.

Gu Li untied the rope for him, temporarily put him on the haystack, and he walked out of the woodshed to the kitchen.

The two cooks were sitting in the kitchen chatting their teeth, Gu Li hurried in and shouted: "Don't rest! The front hall is flooded! Hurry up and help!"

The two men were unresponsive and their eyes were blank.Gu Li urged: "Why are you all standing there?! Hurry up!"

One person asked, "No, who are you?"

The other person looked at Gu Li's deep clothes and said, "You must be Uncle's guest!"

"You have good eyesight! Hurry up! Call more people!"

The two men rushed to the front hall with buckets. On the way, they met several servants and shouted: "The front hall is flooded! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

In a short time, the servants who were left behind in the backyard were dispatched and rushed to the front hall.

Gu Li heated up the stove, took a bowl of Yangchun noodles with chicken soup, made a bowl of boiling water, sprinkled some salt, and brought them back to the woodshed.

Xiao Mao was still unconscious, Gu Li supported him, called his name, and fed him salt water.

Xiaomao woke up, slowly opened his eyes, his vision was still blurry, and shouted at the figure in front of him: "Brother Fang...I'm so hungry..."

Gu Li sighed and patted his head: "Drink all the water, let's eat noodles."

The author has something to say: Feng Feng is on stage, guess who it is?
