Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Wisdom of the World
In order for future generations not to repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty and lose their minds, Li Yuexu moved the Qingping Division to Taihe Street in the northwest of Luoyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut because Li Yuexu did not prohibit officials from getting involved, it was year by year, and the Qingping Division became bigger and bigger. So much so that now, going to Qingpingfang to listen to songs and dances, and then find a few confidants, it is a very elegant and fashionable thing.
Hu Lingjun came out of the secret room, and it was already waning outside. The secret room is located in the bedroom of Hu Lingjun, the Qingping Division. From the outside, there is a large bookcase in this location. When Hu Lingjun was not in the bedroom, it was guarded by a girl named Ling'er. Just now he received a secret report from Ling'er, and the reason why it took so long to see Baolu was because he was entertaining guests, his new friends recently, Da Chang and Zheng Yu, the little prince of the country. It wasn't until Zheng Yu was sleepy and went to rest that he had time to see Baolu.
Ling'er is a little girl who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a melon seed face and a very beautiful appearance. She saw Hu Lingjun come out and blessed her body. Hu Lingjun asked, "Are there any messages from other places?" Ling'er handed over the two small cylinders sealed with wax to Hu Lingjun, and replied softly: "There is a letter from Sister A Xing and Mr. Dou." Hu Lingjun took it, opened it and looked at it, with a smile on his face, lit the fire with a fire fold, and burned the letter.
Hu Lingjun instructed Ling'er to continue to guard in the bedroom and report anything as soon as possible. He walked out of the bedroom and stretched. Unexpectedly, the sun was only a little west before entering the secret room, and when it came out, the sun had set, and the glow of fire had also dispersed, and there was a twilight, a bright moon hung high on the branches, and several stars also rushed out to show their faces. The flowers and trees in the yard are swaying in the cold autumn wind, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Qingpingfang started the most lively time of the day as usual, and the sound seemed to come from all directions, the sound of the wind, the singing, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of the sound was in the ears.
Hu Lingjun came to the main hall and saw that the little prince Zheng Yu was concentrating on the beautiful and enchanting orchid, leaning east and west under the accompaniment of drums and melodies, raising his eyebrows and moving his eyes, and his backhand crossed his waist like a moon. I saw the prince dancing with the orchid steps, raising his sleeves and dancing, constantly spinning, like the wind returning to the snow, and the fluffy grass whirling. I don't care when the people around me are leaving or when they are coming in.
Hu Lingjun walked up to the drummer with a smile on his face and motioned for the musician to give him the drum. With Zheng Yu and Hu Ji's dance steps, Hu Lingjun began to beat the drum. The drums are beating faster and faster, and Zheng Yu and Orchid's dance steps are getting faster and faster. The two of them fluttered in the wind like snowflakes, their dance clothes were light, like floating clouds, and their gorgeous faces were like blooming peonies.
The drumming gradually soothed, and Zheng Yu saw that it was Hu Lingjun who was beating the drum for them, and he gradually rotated to Hu Lingjun's side before standing still, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu is also awake?" The night in Qingpingfang is really lively. ”
Hu Lingjun smiled and invited Zheng Yu to return to the banquet to sit down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to dance so well, these Maiko look good on weekdays, with the prince here, they are no more." ”
Zheng Yu laughed and said ashamedly: "I like singing and dancing very much on weekdays, and I don't like to read, which makes my father angry." This time, I entered the country to study, hoping to make progress, and if I can seek fame, I will be able to comfort my father's heart even more. It's just that His Majesty originally said that he would arrange for me to go to Guozijian to study, but I recently heard that Wei Guogong's condition has worsened, and I am afraid that Zheng Gongzi will not be able to take care of me for a while. ”
Hu Lingjun said with a smile: "If you want to study, you don't necessarily have to go to the Guozijian, I recommend a place for the prince, that is, the main thing of the royal Taoist temple." Since Zheng Gongzi has not had time to arrange for the prince to enter school recently, instead of being aggrieved in the post house, it is better to find a time to make an appointment with Miss Zheng, let's go to Wanquan Mountain together, okay? ”
When Zheng Yu heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Very good!" Very good! It's just that," he said listlessly with a bitter face, "Miss Zheng has always refused to see me, and if I can't make an appointment with Miss Zheng, it will be too boring to go out to play." ”
Hu Lingjun smiled and said, "Look at that Miss Zheng below, she fell in love with the prince at that banquet that day, why don't you want to see the prince now?" I wonder how the prince asked to see Miss Zheng? ”
Zheng Yu looked at Hu Lingjun blankly and said, "Of course, according to the rules of the kingdom, send a message to the Zheng Mansion to ask for a meeting?" ”
Hu Lingjun shook his head with a smile and sighed: "Prince, with all due respect, I'm afraid that Miss Zheng is now secretly crying in the boudoir by you, a clumsy lover." ”
When Zheng Yu heard Hu Lingjun say this, he felt sorry for the beauty in his heart, and said in shock: "Why? Can ......"
Hu Lingjun said: "This is not to blame the prince, although the prince is a Han ancestor, he has always lived in a foreign country, and his customs are different from my Central Plains." My Central Plains men and women do not kiss, the prince sent a message to ask to see the unmarried woman, even if Miss Zheng misses the prince, she can't see it! ”
Zheng Yu suddenly realized and said with annoyance: "In vain, I have studied Chinese for many years, but I have forgotten such a custom. ”
Hu Lingjun said: "It's not to blame the prince, there are too many etiquette laws that should be observed, but there are fewer people who abide by them in private." The prince is used to seeing men and women playing together, but where can he remember that the Central Plains is where men and women can't meet together? ”
Zheng Yu said with a smile: "What Brother Hu said is to relieve a lot of Xiaxia, but Brother Hu still has to think of a way for Zaixia to invite Miss Zheng to come out to play." ”
Hu Lingjun said: "Prince Fangcai said that Guogong is seriously ill, and the prince might as well go to visit, not for Miss Zheng, but for Zheng Gongzi to bother for the prince and his party, and the prince should also go and take a look." I can also remind Zheng Gongzi that His Majesty asked him to arrange for you to study. Then, you can ask Mrs. Zheng and Miss Zheng to go to Dagaoguan together, and ask the Taoist chief to pray for the blessing of the country. ”
Zheng Yu listened to Hu Lingjun's words and said ashamedly: "What Mr. Hu said is extremely true. I'm so ignorant of human feelings, why don't I know such an obvious thing? ”
Hu Lingjun smiled and said sincerely: "The prince is originally true and pure in temperament, and he doesn't care about these things. We are not as good as the laity. However, if the prince wants to win Miss Zheng's heart, these vulgar etiquette still have to wronged the prince and wronged the snake. Although I don't have a deep relationship with that Zheng Ange, I still know a thing or two about his preferences. If the prince does not dislike it, how about coming with the prince below? ”
Zheng Yu was overjoyed and said: "That's very good, I just don't understand these people's sophistication, where is it to look down on them?" There is more guidance from Mr. Rahu. ”
So the two of them lowered their heads and whispered, in this piece of Qingping Division, who was singing and laughing, the voice was so small that even the surrounding tricksters couldn't hear it.
On the second day, Zheng Yu followed Hu Lingjun's words and went to Zheng's mansion to visit Zheng Ange.
