3. Cailuan puppet show

In the evening, the former Pengcheng County Commander Bai Jigeng was respectful, standing in front of the main hall of the Military Government Office, holding a famous thorn in his hand - You Yi had gone to welcome Da Yin from the southern suburbs to return to the house, and now he was entertained by the Fuzhong Judge Cao Shi, the inspection of the school Shangshu Province Zuo Shilang Liu De room, Liu had already heard that Bai Jigeng was talented and agile, and he was the one who plotted against Xu, Hai and Yi from the Pinglu Army, so he was very respectful, invited him to the table, and hurriedly let the kitchen set up a feast.

But in order to show his respect for Xingyuan and Fengxiang Da Yin, Bai Jigeng never refused to sit at the table, so he stood there, saying that he would wait for Da Yin to return.

"Don't drive in vain, why do you have to do this?" Liu Demuro was very uneasy.

Bai Jigeng conspired with Li Wei at the beginning, so that Xuzhou and Caoyun's place to Chongyun Bridge returned to the imperial court anyway, and later the angry Pinglu army sent 20,000 elites to attack Xuzhou, and it was Bai Jigeng who organized more than 1,000 officials to resist desperately, so that Zhang Jianfeng later moved to Xuzhou, which made a lot of contributions to the imperial court. Therefore, the emperor specially ordered that Bai Jigeng be promoted to be the judge of Xuzhou and Xu Si to observe and give scarlet silverfish.

Now the northwest is in a big way to camp and enrich the military affairs, the emperor thought of Bai Jigeng, and selected him as the assassin of Fengzhou, so Bai Jigeng brought his family and rushed from his hometown Xingyang Xinzheng.

At the foot of the military mansion, there are Bai Jigeng's three sons.

The eldest son Bai Youwen, the second son Bai Juyi, the third son Bai Xingjian, and the fourth son Bai Youmei, who was just born and was still in infancy, were held in the arms of Bai Jigeng's wife Chen and sat in the sedan chair parked in the courtyard.

Because the military government office and the Ya Bing Courtyard are adjacent to each other, there are many soldiers of the Dingwu Army in and out of the courtyard, and the three sons of the Bai family obviously looked at this group of soldiers with frightened and disgusted eyes.

In fact, if nothing else, when the Bai family lived in Xingyang before, they happened to witness Li Xilie's rebellion, and saw how the group of unscrupulous soldiers killed and plundered, and naturally lacked a good impression of this group (on the historical level, the Bai family had taken refuge in the Central Plains due to the war in the Central Plains during the Jianzhong period, where there was a family industry, and now thanks to Gao Yue's wisdom and martial arts, Li Xilie was captured in time, so the Bai family stayed in Xingyang after the change of the historical line until Bai Jigeng went to Fengzhou).

"Lotte, look, the female Taoist priest too!" At this time, the eldest brother Bai Youwen suddenly stabbed Bai Juyi.

Bai Juyi and Bai Xingjian looked back, and sure enough, in front of the Ya Bing Academy, a female crown wearing green clothes, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, quite beautiful, was fighting with the Dingwu Army Ya soldiers and their wives and children who came over.

She originally had a small cocoon under her feet, but when she arrived at the military mansion, she was more flexible than the official inside, and after a while, she got into it from the dog sinus under the wall, and disappeared.

After a while, at the strong request of this group of people, the female crown said that it was okay, and then took out a few puppets from the box she was carrying, and began to perform the story of the text in the Buddhist scriptures.

At this time, Bai Xingjian burst out laughing, "Interesting and interesting, this Taoist female crown, but she plays the text of Buddhism." ”

Bai Youwen and Bai Juyi also laughed.

But that Dao Gu was very serious, and after her body and eyebrows were in place, she said that now I will give you a seasonal change.

The soldiers, children and women of the Dingwu Army all smiled happily, applauded and said yes, and then asked what season was the text?

That Daogu said that it was called "Zhu Taiwei Fighting the Thief Hidden Dragon Palace".

When everyone heard this, they were all in awe, so the Dao Gu manipulated the two puppets, flew up and danced down, and then sang while talking, the voice was loud and touching.

Although the three brothers of the Bai family were far away, they couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

The white-faced and big-bellied puppet is Zhu Taiwei Zhu Zhu, and the other black-faced hideous is the traitor Dong Qin (Li Zhongchen), I saw Dong Qin holding a knife in his hand, coercing Zhu Taiwei to rebel in the Qianlong Palace, and Zhu Taiwei angrily reprimanded (of course it was sung by Wu Cailuan):

"Hit the thief wat, Liaodong hat, etc. The body is outside the body, and the sound price is heavy on the mountains and rivers. I am a soldier in Youzhou, and I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and I want to learn from Zhang Xun in Suiyang, and I want to follow Yan Gaoqing in Changshan. Dog thief Dong Qin, eat this jade wat in my sleeve, you will be bleeding from this fierce canal, so that I can show that I am loyal and unyielding! ”

Then the female Taoist priest raised her eyes, her hair flew (Bai Juyi obviously chuckled in her heart), extended her slender waist, and turned her fingers dexterously, the puppet of Taiwei Zhu really made a motion of throwing a wat board, and the puppet of Dong Qin let out a vivid scream, and then revealed his fierce appearance, pulled out a knife and killed Taiwei Zhu.

The crowd exclaimed, and many of the women were infected and wept.

Taiwei Zhu was down, and he was still shouting, "Li Linggong's soldiers are outside the palace, I have the heart to kill the thief, and I can't return to the sky, sad husband!" ”

Seeing this situation, Bai Juyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Since ancient times, even if it is a puppet show, if you want to move people, don't care about a love word first!" ”

Then the soldiers pestered this aunt and then said that you sang better than the lay monks of Huguo Temple, so you sang "Zhenhai Hidden Han Gongbian Responsibility"! I heard that you can also summon the Divine Thunder Alchemy, right? And that Dao Gu didn't even say no, no, no, I came to the military mansion to find the Gao family's eldest son to play, how can I stay with you for too long?

As he was talking, I saw someone walking in on the avenue outside the courtyard with a halberd in his hand, shouting Da Yin to return to the house!

The soldiers of the military government hurriedly bowed to the side of the road, and the three sons of the Bai family also retreated and avoided to one side.

Gao Yue wore a very special civilian clothes, wore a black veil on his head, rode a horse and rode lightly, and entered the courtyard, and when he caught his eye, he saw the female Taoist priest, and said a little helplessly, Master, why are you evolving a puppet show in front of the Tooth Soldier Academy? I'm still in the school palace and won't come back, so you can go play with Da'er.

"Oh." The female Taoist priest immediately packed up the box, turned around and walked towards the side gate of the courtyard in the back building of the military mansion.

When she caught a glimpse of Bai Juyi standing at the foot of the main hall, she stuck out her tongue and then passed by.

Bai Juyi's face was a little feverish, and he was embarrassed in place.

Gao Yue hurriedly dismounted and climbed the steps to salute Bai Jigeng.

Then a banquet was held in the evening, and all the important ministers and generals of Xingyuan Mansion attended, which was very grand, which made Bai Jigeng a little flattered.

During the banquet, Gao Yue looked at Bai Jigeng, his temples were already dyed with snow, he was about sixty years old, and his sons were not very old, Bai Youwen was about twenty years old, Gao Yue especially valued Bai Juyi, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, about the same age as Li Yu.

Later, Liu Demuro told Gao Yue that Han Yu's father was also very old when he gave birth to him, because Han Yu's mother was a servant, so that several of Han Yu's brothers were much older than him, and Han Yu's biological mother remarried after his father's death, so Han Yu never mentioned his mother.

Bai Juyi is different, the four brothers are all from Bai Jigeng and Chen.

But the problem is that Bai Jigeng and his wife Chen are actually uncles and nieces.

"Isn't that inverse?" Gao Yue actually felt a little bosom friend to Bai Ji Geng, I worked hard and secretly married my cousin, Brother Ji Geng, you are even better, you directly marry your niece as your wife, admire and admire.
