Return to the rumor

Xindu has recently opened a new theater called Xiyi. There are many theaters, but it is rare for a troupe of barbarians and barbarians to mix musicians and actors.

Just because there are a bunch of tall, tall, tall barbarians who are proficient in playing, playing and singing, and they can speak Mandarin Chinese fluently without being stage-frightened. Xiyi Garden has been loved by playboys and city dwellers since its opening. Come and try something new.Not to mention that the high-rise buildings are full of seats, even the people who watch idle operas outside the Goulan are often exhausted. The sign in front of the door is sold out at every hour of the day, attracting many shrewd businessmen to buy and sell opera scripts along the street. In terms of power and battle, the two theater troupes directly under the Jiaofang Division were compared for a while.

The open space in front of the stage is called a pool, and there are no tables and chairs. It is mostly used by ordinary people who bring their own small stools or sit on the ground. There is also tea to drink.

Surrounded by the building on three sides, the building has three floors. Each floor is separated by a few feet or has a soft couch or a square table with chairs.

At that time, Tuoba Yuan, the owner of Xiyi Garden, heard what the boy had reported, picked up the big hat on the table and put it on his head, trying to cover up his messy thick curly hair, hurriedly got up and chased after him.

Stepping up the wooden ladder in a few strides, he rushed forward when the man lifted the curtain and said, "Hey, Mr. Hu is in a good mood today!"

When the waterlogging happened, Shen Xuzhou and Yuan Junye would not be taken into custody by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for such people who have failed the holy grace, corrupt ink and dereliction of duty.Hu Laiyan wandered around the government office recently to check the files of previous years, only hoping to find one or two cases of past incidents that were dealt with lightly so that he could exploit the gaps. However, he is the stern Lord Hades, how can he help others escape?After finding nothing, Han Ru and King Lu stared closely at the other side, he couldn't rest for a moment, he suffered from chest tightness after holding back for a long time, so he came to Xiyi Garden to listen to the play for entertainment.After entering the theatre, I was told by the servants that all the private seats on the third floor were reserved. Can Mr. Hu give in to the second floor?

Give in?Hu Laiyan immediately gouged out the boy's eyes, lifted his robe and went straight to the third floor.

"Excited?" Hu Laiyan stroked the two clumps of green beard on his face, squinted his eyes and sneered, "I'm afraid that I was confused by your ignorant slave from Xiyi Garden!"

Tuoba Yuan bowed his waist and smiled apologetically, and said that he wanted to beat the boy to death with a stick, then pouted at the jade curtain, and said in a low voice: "There is a little ancestor inside, so it is easy to talk and persuade her to prevent her from taking the whole building to death." The garden is covered." While boldly leading Hu Laiyan downstairs, he said with a smile, "Master Hu came today by coincidence, Ye Qiuniang, whom you praised last time, has written a few new playbooks, and the fragrance of ink has not dissipated. It's in a box just waiting for you to see it..."

Hu Laiyan pushed him away, straightened his clothes with a sullen face, his eyes were full of gloom, and said, "Could it be that you've earned enough money? I'm afraid you'd dare to do so before the base of Xiyi Garden is firmly established in the capital." Don’t you take me seriously?” Then he picked up a green-eyed gatekeeper and kicked him hard a few times to relieve his anger, smoothed his robes, calmed down, and then sneered, “This garden is full of people. I'm afraid it's very easy for a barbarian to be charged with a crime, and it just so happened that two corpses were dragged away from the prison in the past few days, maybe Boss Tuoba wants to have a taste of the harsh torture methods of the Central Plains?"

The title of the play is called "The Resentment of the Immortals". Although they are all played by Hu people, there are some slight changes in the details, but traces of the original work can be vaguely seen.The play is that during the reign of Dezong, Di Lan disguised himself as a man to clear up his father's grievances. , still ended up decapitated.

At that time, Di Lan, who was in the weakest year of the second-rank official minister, was being married on the stage by the emperor's decree, and Princess Huaisi, who was still 15 years old, was his son-in-law.

On the wedding day, Princess Huaisi and her son-in-law Di Lan sat at night holding candles and played chess all night. Until dawn, Princess Huaisi quietly fell asleep. After Di Lan blew out the candle, she gently carried Princess Huaisi back On the bed, he cut his finger with a dagger, and spotted a puddle of blood to pretend to be red.

Staring at Princess Huaisi for a long time, Di Lan sighed inaudibly, and then chose a book table as a sleeping pillow.

Di Lan on the stage dozed off for a while, while Lu He on the stand nodded frequently and fell asleep.

"Aunt Huai Si is a woman, and Di Lan is also a woman..." Yi Yang rested his chin on his hands and watched intently, muttering to himself, his eyes may be confused.

I repeated it silently several times in my heart, but as I read it, I changed my appearance in a twists and turns - Aunt Huai Si is a princess, Di Lan is a consort, Aunt Huai Si is a woman, Di Lan is also a woman, and I am a woman , Lu He is also a woman, I am a princess, and Lu He is a son-in-law...

Lu He is the son-in-law...

Lu He is the son-in-law? !

There was a sudden jump between the eyebrows, Yiyang suppressed the exclamation that almost burst through his throat calmly, surprise and panic flashed in his mind, and after facing each other day and night with Lu He in the past few days, it turned into a clear understanding after pushing away the smoldering deep clouds with his bare hands , An Xin, and then shyly looked at Lu He beside him——

"Lu He——!" Yi Yang slapped down the desk hard, and the two words were almost squeezed out from between the teeth, revealing unstoppable anger, and the shyness in the eyes just now disappeared.

Lu He jumped up from the soft couch suddenly, his eyes were drooping, and he stood with his head down: "The minister is here."

"Is this show so boring?" Yiyang Yu pointed her finger at the dark mass of heads downstairs, "A play that has been repeatedly banned by the people can actually put you to sleep?"

Not waiting for Lu He to follow her pointing glance and look down, applause and applause came and went, and thousands of crows competed, one can imagine the grand occasion.

"No." Yiyang's two eyes were about to burst into flames. Lu He dared to turn a blind eye. At this moment, he had to use all his energy to deal with it, and he had already thrown Duke Zhou out of the sky. It is inevitable that you will feel weak when you write a bill."

The emperor's decree clearly stated that all officials in Beijing had to write proposals on disaster relief and submit them to the imperial court, and Lu He, the lecturer in the princess mansion, was no exception.

Seeing that Lu He's eyes were indeed covered with thick bruises, Yi Yang barely calmed down, and said lightly: "It's enough to be perfunctory, why bother?"

"His Highness wishes..."

Sure enough, she was still lacking in experience, Yiyang took her to sit down, and explained to her warmly: "The two states of Huxun are not far from the capital, and they are not close, but after all, disaster relief is not about inspecting civil affairs, military administration, etc. Accumulate qualifications at the top and take care of people’s hearts at the bottom, maybe you will get sick after a long journey.” At this point, I suddenly felt that there was too much concern in the words, my earlobes were stained a little pink, and I was busy looking for it. He gave other legitimate reasons, "If it is done well, although it can be promoted and rewarded, it will also offend people. If it is not done well, my father will definitely not forgive me."

Lu He only wanted to find opportunities for promotion, but he actually forgot to think about why almost no one in Beijing recommended himself for this job. He nodded and lowered his eyebrows: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention."

Yiyang was careful, and caught the flash of eagerness in her eyes, followed by the disappointment she couldn't wish for. He took the back of her hand and touched it gently, and his peach blossom eyes were full of sincerity: "I know what you want, and I will definitely give it to you." Let's help each other so that your grandfather under the Nine Springs can fulfill his wish."

Her palms were warm, her eyes were earnest, and her promise accompanied by her soft voice lingered in her ears like the sounds of nature, but it made Lu He's heart sink hard.

"...Grandfather's last wish before he died was for the family to produce a talented person who will serve the country. I only hate the constant famine and frequent floods. My elder brother and younger brother all died young. My father valued filial piety and promised my grandfather He would not renege on his promise, so he had to bear the pain and ordered his ministers to pretend to be children since childhood, in order to be an official."

The lies that lied to Yiyang in the past echoed in his mind, like a piece of guilt proclaimed to the world, making Lu He feel guilty for a while and had nowhere to vent, and he was even more timid to meet Yiyang's bright and clear eyes, and lowered his head even more He replied in a muffled voice: "... Your Highness promises a thousand pieces of gold, and I will make a grass ring in the future."

"What's the purpose of making a grass ring?" Yiyang chuckled helplessly, held Lu He's face in his hands, and could not help frowning after seeing Lu He's current expression clearly, "Why are you so bitter? I There is no need for you to tie the knot, I will be good to whoever I like to be good to, I don’t need anything, let alone others who will do things for me, I treat you well, you just need to accept it with peace of mind.”

At this time, the distant noise is approaching——

Seeing that he couldn't stop him anymore, Chi Liangjun had no choice but to go along with his arms tied and let Hu Laiyan go swaggeringly.

Who would have thought that this guy was just now walking arrogantly and posturing when he was blocked hard, but now he lowered his eyebrows and changed his appearance submissively, walked towards Yiyang cautiously, bowed and cupped his hands with a smile on his face: "I have seen Your Highness Yiyang, please rest assured, Your Highness." .”

Yiyang withdrew his hands from Lu He's jaw when he heard the sound, and there was still a lot of heartfelt words in his heart that he didn't have time to confide in her, let alone Hu Laiyan, who had always been the king of Lu, who came here to bother him, and immediately gave Hu Laiyan a light look on his face. Glancing: "What is Master Hu doing here? If I remember correctly, today is not a holiday."

Lifting the curtain and entering, after hearing what Tuoba Yuan said, I was restless and just wanted to find someone's fault, but as soon as I entered, I bumped into Chi Liangjun, the chief shi of Princess Yiyang's mansion.Seeing his eyes dodge, listening to his persuasive words, thinking about the fact that Lu Wang's henchmen were relegated or deposed for no reason a few days ago, he immediately made up his mind to make a breakthrough and see this master who has always been good at martial arts but not good at writing. Why come here to watch a play today, but why is there a secret that should not be told.Unexpectedly, Yiyang really sat on the soft couch watching the play, with no one beside him except Lu He, the lecturer.

Hu Laiyan glanced at Lu He who was sitting next to Yiyang restlessly with a pair of fox eyes, turned around, stood up and pointed to Tuoba Yuan who was half a step behind him, and said with a smile: "Xiyi Garden has recently opened a business. Xinglong, when there are so many hustle and bustle, fearing that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble, I sent a few servants over to inspect, and learned that His Highness is watching a theater here today..."

"Officer?" Yiyang sneered, "After I left the mansion, I drove lightly all the way. I entered from Xiyi Garden by the side door and went straight up to the third floor. I didn't meet any other people during the process, which made Boss Tuoba keep his mouth shut. Could it be that the guards under your hands are more stained with blood, and their noses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, so they can smell the traces of the palace in the big capital? Or is Master Hu really concerned about the safety of the palace, and has people follow and guard him every day? "

Hu Laiyan's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, and he hurriedly smiled a few times with sloppy eyes: "Your Highness has broken down, and I have dedicated my whole heart to Your Majesty and the world. Even if you are worried about Your Highness, how can you spare this exquisite thought?" It's just for fun. Isn't this—" pointing to his white hair on the sideburns, with a sad face, "Recently, in order to deal with Shen Xuzhou and Yuan Junye and other ungrateful people, I have added a few more white hairs!"

"Really?" Yiyang smiled inexplicably, "Your Majesty Hu is indeed a legalist. It is a great fortune for the country to have such a good minister. I have a lot of gray hair because of handling political affairs, and I am quite worried about it. Chi Liangjun, tidy up for Master Hu."

Chi Liangjun answered yes with a solemn face, shaking his wide sleeves and walked towards Hu Laiyan, who was as white as paper: "Lord Hu, don't worry, my minister's wife loves beauty, and often makes me pluck her gray hair, and I'm very skilled— —”

Without waiting for Hu Laiyan to wave his hand to refuse, Chi Liangjun quickly grabbed a bunch of black and white hair on the sideburns. The pain made Hu Laiyan burst into tears immediately, and he said his resignation before Chi Liangjun could strike again, and fell down.

"Puchi—" Lu He couldn't help laughing as he looked at Hu Laiyan's fleeing figure.

The dimples on Yiyang's cheeks were reflected in Yiyang's eyes, and they were vividly and beautifully branded in her heart, and she couldn't help but smiled: "Are you laughing? Just now I saw that you were tense after coming from Hu Laiyan." Face."

"Hu Laiyan has a notorious reputation. He thought of many torture instruments to restrain the common people, but let the truly innumerable people get away with it, and I don't bother to be with him." Lu Hexin squeezed a cup of tea, borrowing the effort of drinking tea He lowered his eyelids, avoiding looking at Yiyang.

Yiyang waited for her to drink good tea, then stared at her closely, and said softly: "If there is no one else, don't plead your allegiance in front of me."

Lu He paused, endured the momentary embarrassment in his heart, and replied, "Okay."
