Out of nowhere, a cloud floated in, enveloping the glowing sun, and in an instant the world became cool. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The wind blew from nowhere, swept over the hills, across the ponds, and into the pergola.

Xu Ping shook his body slightly, and smiled reluctantly at Xue Kui and Wang Shu, the two old ministers: "I understand what the two ministers mean, and there will be rules and regulations in the future." Although Xu Ping is young and ignorant, he has not been mean to others for his own merits for so many years. No matter what I do in the future, I will consider it again and again, and I must do it without harming the people, the court, and the upper and lower levels. I said this, are the two ministers still satisfied? ”

Wang Shu sighed: "We are all idlers now, and we just talk casually. You listen to what is right, and if you are not right, just be a gust of wind, and don't go to your heart. In the future, I will do things for the officials, but I hope to remember today's words. ”

"I must keep it in mind and never forget it!"

After Xu Ping finished speaking, the three of them sat under the shed and were speechless for a while.

Xue Kui finally relieved himself and said to Xu Ping: "Let's sit here with the two old men, and we can go and entertain others." You are young people, and there are many things to have fun with, but we are inconvenient. ”

What should be said has been said, and the two old men obviously don't need Xu Ping to chat here, so why are they sitting here? Xue Kui obviously also knew that everyone couldn't let go in front of him, so it was better to stay away.

Saying goodbye to Wang Shu and Xue Kui, Xu Ping stepped out of the pergola, looked at the sky, and let out a sigh. Xu Ping rarely quarrels with others, but it is also difficult to be convinced, and his steps in doing things will not stop because of the arrival of Wang Shu and Xue Kui today. The two of them didn't come to persuade Xu Ping, the main thing was to show an attitude, so that Xu Ping knew that he should have scruples when doing things in the future. If Xu Ping was so easily persuaded, there would be no value for these two people.

In the imperial court, if there is no party or faction, it is strange. Everyone has their own position, and there are people who are close to their own position, and they will naturally come together and think together, but some are obvious and some are not. When the contradictions are acute and the conflicts become fierce, partisan disputes will form.

In most cases, the friends are not formed on their own initiative, with a few exceptions, such as Hu Dan, who is blind in Xiangzhou and has a heart higher than the sky. Xu Ping vaguely remembered that there was still a person in his garden who also had Hu Dan's problem, and that was Ouyang Xiu. The two of them have the same talent, their hearts are higher than the sky, and they hit their heads in front of reality in the same way.

The difference is that Hu Dan is for the future of a few people for his own personal interests, while Ouyang Xiu is for the ideal in his heart, where the avenue is, and it is incumbent on him. As a result, Hu Dan harmed himself, while Ouyang Xiu not only harmed himself, but also harmed a group of people around him, and many innocent people were implicated. For his own selfish interests, Hu Dan has no sympathy, is poor and lonely in the old village. Ouyang Xiu went through hardships, and finally woke up and enjoyed the glory behind him.

Xu Ping kept a certain distance from the courtiers, just because Hu Dan gave him a lot of stimulation. In the Taizong Dynasty, when the Jinshi were reused and promoted rapidly, many young people were appointed to the two systems at the age of thirty, and Kou Zhun was appointed to the throne in less than ten years. As a result, Hu Dan, who is the champion, can't be sent to know the system, the official can't be a foreigner, and the job can't be repaired by the History Museum, which is much worse than the current Xu Ping.

The old man who was blind, didn't even have a piece of clothing without patches, and was still commanding, really stimulated Xu Ping. His ending is much more tragic than Ding Wei.

Officialdom is a rich and noble field, but also a whirlpool of right and wrong, there are riches and dangers.

By the pond, Yan Shu and Ding Du sat on a chair under the tree, eating watermelon fruits and drinking wine, enjoying the surrounding scenery. A group of young officials gathered on the shore and made the courtesans sing old and new songs, laughing from time to time.

Look at the weather, the other two bachelors Mei Xun and Li Shu should also arrive, and they haven't appeared yet, nine times out of ten, they are avoiding Xue Kui and Wang Shu. These two were too serious, and it took some courage to gather around them. Mei Xun is a very serious person, and Li Shu is a little arrogant, and it is normal to avoid the two of them.

When they arrived at the tree, Xu Ping greeted Yan Shu and Ding Du and asked, "Why is the bachelor sitting here?" Why don't you go and have fun with everyone? ”

Yan Shu shook his head silently, and Ding Du laughed and said: "Master Yan thinks that you can't do the courtesans here, the songs you sing are low-key, and you don't understand allusions, so it doesn't sound beautiful." Xu waits for the system, your Yongning Marquis Mansion is also one of the few in the capital, why not buy a few good courtesans? It's good to have guests coming, and you can listen to it in your spare time to relieve your boredom. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Sheren said lightly, where is it easy to find a good courtesan?" Not to mention how much it costs, it is hard to find those who understand the rhythm and understand the poetry. Besides, I don't know anything about music and rhythm, so isn't it wronged to go out with money? If you can use it, just hire a few in the market. ”

Ding Du and Yan Shu laughed together, and said to Xu Ping: "Let's gossip here, you go and accompany those people." ”

Xu Ping confessed and walked towards the pond. Ding Du said easily, a good courtesan, how can he have to take out thousands of yuan, with that money, it is better to go to the countryside to buy a few more acres of land.

The world is greedy for profit, and the people near the capital are raising their daughters as treasures, counting on the fact that when they reach the age of age, they will be sold into the rich and noble families with a skill, and if they are lucky, they may have no worries for a lifetime. The so-called rebirth of a man and a woman is because for ordinary people, girls are more able to bring money. And according to the habit at this time, the best age of the little girl is only ten years, and when the contract arrives, she will not delay getting married and having children, and many poor families regard this as a way out of poverty. Coupled with the fact that the rich and noble are sought after, the price of the little girl who can sing and dance is extremely high, and Xu Ping feels that it is exaggerated.

The base is large, it is not difficult to find good-looking ones, it is not difficult to find those with good singing voices, and it is easy to find those who are enchanting and good at dancing, but it is difficult to concentrate these on one person. In addition, it is necessary to understand the rhythm of poetry, be able to compose poems and fill in words, and talk to literati without timidity, which is rare.

The courtesans are the entertainment stars of this era, but unlike the later generations, the best ones are raised at home by wealthy families, and the brothels in the Qinglou brothels outside are like those who ran wild in Xu Ping's previous life, and the level is much worse. Most of the time, no matter how good-looking the courtesans outside are, no matter how beautiful their singing voices are, but their manners are vulgar, they talk a lot of street slang, and the songs they sing involve ******** most of the time.

Yan Shu's Xiaoling is more like a poem than a word, and the taste of singing without a little cultural cultivation is not right at all, and he can't listen to it.

On the contrary, Liu Sanbian is like a fish in water at this time, he grew up in this kind of courtesan group, and all kinds of tunes are refined. Xiaoling is from the literati's leisure time elegance, with a long history, the legend originated from Li Bai, and the slow words were collected from the tunes sung by the Qinglou courtesans by Liu Sanbian, and the tune and rhythm were self-contained. The two come from different sources, and the style is different, and now at the beginning, there is still a strong style of Qinglou Yan, of course Yan Shu can't listen to it. (To be continued.) )
