After the fire burst out, applause and laughter rang out, and the faint smell of burning gunpowder wafted through the air. Bamboo on a spring night, the performance in the building is still going on, singing and dancing, magic, juggling, cross talk, the girls of the alum building are responsible for half of the performance projects, the dinner has actually come to an end, because many people in the building are acquaintances, at this time or still watching the performance, or walking with each other to talk, discussing today's performance and Ning Yi's new poems, if from the perspective of the operator, the atmosphere can be regarded as harmonious and successful.

After waiting upstairs in front for a while, thinking that Gao Muen might not come over, Ning Yi actually had some doubts in his heart. However, for people like Gao Muen, they really shouldn't be judged by common sense, as Wen Ren said, it's not surprising that guy did anything.

As for Wen Ren, he came here, in addition to ventilating with Ning Yi about today's arrest, he also mentioned the news about Chen Fan sideways.

“…… This morning, in addition to the two heroes of Heshuo. There was news from Xi Guishan, there was a Yongle remnant who came into the city, just to find you, I wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately I was a step too late and let him run away. ”

"Oh, that's the case?"

"Heh, I haven't found out the specific identity of this person, but it is said that the martial arts are strong and very powerful." Wen Ren looked at him, "You have ruined the big matter of the Yongle bandits, he came to you, he must have bad intentions, do you need me to send you more people?" ”

Ning Yi also laughed: "It is said that there are more than one or two people who are strong in martial arts who died in our hands, why are Brother Wenren so nervous, the remnants of Fang La's side...... That is, the subordinates are defeated, no matter who it is. I don't think I need to work hard to mobilize the people. ”

Wen Ren said: "I'm also afraid that it will be bad to make trouble in the capital." You also know that the affairs of the Yongle Dynasty have recently ended, but it is also the most tense time. The investigation by the Criminal Department is very strict...... If it takes a while, the past is gone. You don't have to think about that. ”

He propped his hands on the railing of the terrace, and after saying this, he exhaled, and Ning Yi looked at him suspiciously: "What does Brother Wenren mean?" ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then they spread their hands and shrugged: "I don't know what Lu Dao is talking about, but I will know you Lu Dao." ”

Ning Yi made a contemplative look, he naturally understood the reminder in Wen Ren's words, but no matter what the relationship between the two parties was. On the issue of this kind of position, only a stunned and enthusiastic young man will make a tacit appearance. The two of them played a dumb riddle about this matter, and they couldn't see the thoughts of this always unfathomable young man, and after a while, they changed the topic.

After separating from Wen Ren, Ning Yi went to the back of the Wanzhao Building to look for Master Li.

I had already met Master Li once before, and the other party's expression was as usual, because the light was not bright when passing through the corridor at that time. Ning Yi didn't see anything wrong with the other party. Later, the performance was one after another, and the other party's performance was completely worthy of the title of the first Oiran in the capital, presumably the rumors that she was beaten yesterday may not be true, or exaggerated. But since he heard about this, Ning Yi still had to go over to see the other party.

When I came to the room on the second floor where Master Li was, the lights were turned off inside. As quiet as it sounded, he knocked on the door. Then the other party's voice came: "Who?" ”

"It's me, Ning Yi."

"Oh. Wait a minute. ”

Someone in the room got up, and then the firelight flickered a few times, and the lamp was lit, and when the door opened, a bright yellow light overflowed. It was Master Li who opened the door, and she was still wearing the costume she wore during the performance - a long dress with black edges on a white background and embroidered with red plums. At this time, most of the deep clothes worn by men and women are one-piece robes, which are similar to Hanfu, but because they are used for performances, they are cinched with belts to set off the posture, and they are equipped with layered lace, which makes this deep clothes look like a slightly blooming flower, slender and elegant. It's just that the makeup on the face should have been removed, the smile looks plain, the bangs are sideways, and the long hair is slightly bundled, but it still doesn't lose the feeling of beauty and atmosphere.

"Liheng, come in."

"The show was almost over, so I came over and had a look. What about the maids around you? ”

"I'm going to pack my things, I'm alone."

There was only one lamp in the room, the light was actually a little dim, and the window in front of it could actually see the performance in the hall from the side, and at this time a slit was slightly opened, and a chair was placed next to it, and the master who had obviously finished the performance was alone in front of the audience in this dark room before. After Ning Yi entered, the master beckoned him to sit down at the table, then pulled over the tea tray and began to pour water.

"I'll do it."

Ning Yi wanted to take over, but the woman glanced at him: "Who is good at this?" Naturally, I'll come. By the way, I'm just here to watch those two people tell jokes, it's really funny......" At this point, Wan Er smiled.

Ning Yi paid attention to her face, although the light was dim, Ning Yi could vaguely see that there seemed to be a slight redness and swelling on the left side of the other party's face: "Master also likes this?" ”

"I like it very much, and a few tricks are also very interesting. I heard that these things are all thought up by Liheng? ”

After pouring the tea, Shishi sat down and discussed with him for a while about the performance outside. She is the best person in Bianliang's industry, and she naturally has the right to speak about how to perform, but in addition to appreciation, she also vaguely reminds her.

Tonight's performance is actually not elegant, at least not the most popular performance mode among literati. Among the various performances, magic is similar to juggling, but juggling is usually some hard kung fu, similar to some performances that have been practiced since childhood, twisting people's bones, a craftsman to practice a skill, it takes more than ten years, and it will still be classified as three teachings and nine streams.

And a show that makes people laugh like cross talk is more likely to make people feel that they can't make it to the big scene. Based on Master Li's understanding of the literati circle, after reading it, he naturally discovered the hidden worries and made some suggestions on the side.

Although she is well-informed and generous at this time, she is in Ning Yi's eyes and placed in the future generations. Naturally, it's still a girl's appearance. After listening to her, Ning Yi also nodded and accepted it humbly: "However." Several stores in Zhuji were not planned to open on them in the first place. Actually, I hope that it doesn't matter if the people who come are as tacky as possible. ”

"Oh?" Master Li looked a little puzzled.

"Heh, Zhu Ji is not taking the high-end road, I will try to go in the mid-range, or low-end direction. There is still a lot of business to be kneaded together with Zhuji...... But it's still just an idea, and it's hard to say, I just want to have as much influence as possible. He paused slightly. By the way, you were in the Taiwei Mansion yesterday, what happened to Gao Muen? ”

Master Li was stunned and blinked: "That guy, he came here to find trouble?" ”

"Not yet, I've just heard that there's such a thing."

"Nothing." The master picked up the teacup and smiled, his fingers were green and white, "He...... He didn't dare touch me. I've been in the Qinglou for so many years, about these things. There's always a way. ”

"That slap in the face isn't convincing."

The teacher tilted his head and smiled: "Does Liheng want to help me get angry?" ”

"Heh, I'm afraid I won't have a problem with Gao Muen......" Ning Yi smiled, and he had a better impression of the woman in front of him.

People in the wind and dust know best the psychology of manipulating people. If she casually says "you don't have to worry about me" at this time, the other party generally can't pull her face, and she will inevitably have to carry the matter on her shoulders. But since she said "Are you going to help me out?" But it often makes people calm down, indicating that the other party is really thinking about their own side.

The teacher finished speaking. shook his head: "The Taiwei Mansion is powerful, and it depends on the appreciation of the current emperor. I also know that you have the ability. But this matter really doesn't have to be taken to heart. You've got what it takes, and I'm pretty good at it. The name Master Li is said to be an Oiran, but if people look up to you, that's it, people don't give face, after all, she is a dusty woman. Over the years, it's not the first time I've encountered something embarrassing, it's not the first time I've been slapped, I've been beaten, sometimes I've been forced to drink, drink until I vomit, and I have to laugh and vomit to look good. Yesterday in the Taiwei Mansion, the Gao Yanai also took advantage of the situation to go crazy, and was drunk by the Taiwei Lord, so I took the opportunity to run away. Now that I'm gone, there's nothing to do. ”

She looked up at Ning Yi with a smile in her eyes, but she was also quite serious: "If this matter is spread on others, I may still want to pretend to be pitiful." But Liheng and Hezhong, unlike others, I am just a few friends of you. And Liheng, you are well-informed, just be honest with you. I'm Oiran, and you're a big businessman, so you'll understand. ”

When she said this, her expression was relaxed and natural, different from the old days, and it was obvious that yesterday's events still had some influence on her. Ning Yi thought about it, but he didn't take advantage of it, and nodded. After a while, he said with a smile: "Gao Muen, the most troublesome thing is that no matter what price you pay to kill him, you will feel that it is not worth it in the end, but he can bring a lot of trouble to people." ”

This was said interestingly, and Master Li laughed: "It's how you have a grudge against him, you still have to be careful." ”

"There's a way." Ning Yi nodded, "However, except for the face, it didn't hurt anywhere else, it looks quite serious, I didn't pay attention to it before." ”

Shishi shook his head: "There is no other place, this is not serious." ”

"It's been a day and a night, so there's no need to die."

"It's not because it's serious." The master stretched out his hand and tapped his cheek, and smiled, "Because I'm tender." ”

It was the first time that Ning Yi had discovered that Master Li had such an interesting side.

After that, the two chatted for a while, but Ning Yi didn't mention Gao Muen's matter again, and Master Li obviously took this as a sign that he humbly accepted his opinion. In a society where class differences are incomparably obvious, people are more able to accept the fact that the situation is stronger than others, in a sense, that is, they have been bullied by the Taiwei Mansion, and they will endure it without shame.

This night, until the guests left one after another, Gao Muen, who threatened to come to smash the field, did not appear, Song Yongping returned home, guessing that Ning Yi might have nipped things in the bud, and felt a little unfathomable for this brother-in-law. And Ning Yi himself didn't understand, in fact, they didn't expect that the truth of the matter was not complicated. When Ning Yi felt that it was not worth paying the price to kill Gao Muen, Gao Muen would also feel that it was a loss-making business to make Ning Yi unhappy.

"That guy is a scourge!" That night, in front of a group of gentlemen who were summoned, Gao Muen was also quite frank, "I've been bored at home for half a year!" It's finally back, brothers! That guy named Ning Liheng, since I met him, nothing good has happened! It's easy to him, but if something happens. I've only been out for a day! I haven't played yet, and if I can't go out again, I'll die! He spread his hands, "Everybody said!" Do I look like a!? ”

Probably because he didn't look like it, no one answered the question for a while. In fact, the children of the gentleman are usually over-self-aware and lack of vision, and there are not many real fools. Gao Muen borrowed Master Li's question at home, and said that he wanted to find trouble with Ning Yi, and was finally acquiesced by Gao Yu to go out, and he didn't want to be locked up immediately, so he brainstormed this night and decided to be a clever mastermind behind the scenes who would not be discovered even if he was in the dark.

Soon after, the crowd came up with a lot of ideas, and then happily played with the woman...... (To be continued......)
