Although it has been more than ten years since Doulu Guifei went out to live in Qinrenfang, it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, but when today's son Li Longji ascended the throne, he remembered the grace of raising at the beginning, not only for him and Ruizong Wang Xian Concubine to add food and seal 200 households, but also every year and festivals often have various sè gold and jade brocade silk, delicacies and food rewards, when she fell ill before, she was eager to send the entire Imperial Physician Department over, and all sè rare medicinal materials were sent to the mansion like flowing water. ◎◎Therefore, even if this time Doulu Guifei's fifty-eighth birthday is not a whole birthday, since the beginning of the morning, some people have begun to send birthday gifts one after another, and when the day of the birthday is close to noon, there are even more guests.

Because of the embarrassment of their titles, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China have asked their juniors to come to congratulate their birthdays and send congratulatory gifts, five surnames and seven wangs, four surnames in Guanzhong, none of the representatives of each family are absent, plus the princes and ministers of the country, for a time the nobles are like clouds, brocade clothes are like weaving, between entering and leaving, everyone is talking about the news that has been spread a few days earlier.

"I heard that the sage has decreed that the Xiliang Daqu will be performed tonight!"

During the discussion, some people whispered that Doulu's family was originally a Xianbei surname, and this Xiliang Daqu was naturally considered a suitable occasion, but some people also argued that just because Doulu Guifei liked the sound of Xiliang, if it was really Xianbei ancient music, how could it be other Daqu. But there are also people who are not interested in this kind of boring argument at all, and among them, Du Wenruo, who is at the back of the seat, is full of thoughts about Du Shiyi. When he thought that after returning to Fanchuan, he had no place to stay, and he actually lived in the Cui Mansion of Pingkang Fang so loudly, and then made a great name in the Qianbao Pavilion, he felt as if his heart was on fire, and he didn't notice that someone was sitting next to him for a while.

"Du Liulang."

"Huh?" Du Wenruo turned his head sideways, and when he saw that the handsome young man beside him seemed to be familiar, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he smiled heavily, "I didn't expect that this grand event, on behalf of the Liu clan in Guanzhong, it turned out to be Liu Langjun." ”

"The Liu clan in Guanzhong is full of talents, how can I say that it is a representative?" Liu Ximing laughed at himself as if he was humble, and then said with a smile, "I heard that this year's Jingzhao Du clan is full of talents, and there are five or six people who should take the exam alone, isn't this fierce competition, and you have to fight for it first?" ”

Faced with this pot that does not open and which pot to mention, Du Wenruo was sè Tieqing when he was on the spot, and then said: "Don't work Liu Langjun cāo heart." ”

"I'm an outsider, so naturally it's not my turn to do the housework of the Jing Zhao Du clan. It's just that Du Liulang didn't know that Bi Guogong Dou Mansion counted the night banquet before the rì ......"

Du Wenruo had already heard that Liu Ximing and Du Shiyi had only seen some festivals, and before they finished speaking, they sneered: "My news is not so closed. Du Shijiu was certainly led to the Biguo Mansion by Dou Shilang, but he did not show up on the night King Qi arrived. It's just that he can play a few pipa songs, and he can talk a little bit with Dou Shilang, that's all. ”

"But that's not all I've heard." Liu Ximing still had a smiling face, and he actually got a little closer to Du Wenruo as he spoke, and his voice was light enough to make it difficult for the neighbors to hear, "That day, Dou Shilang also invited Taiyuan Wang Shisanlang and Wang Shishilang brothers to go to the Dou Mansion, and for ten whole days, Du Shishilang and the Wang brothers have never left the Dou Mansion for half a step." Moreover, on the night that King Qi came to Dou's house, he never appeared in public, but Dou Shilang did not appear in front of people for some reason, but in the name of discussing the rhythm of music, he invited King Qi to come in to discuss, and this time it was more than an hour. You say, has the king seen Du 19 or not...... Oops, Jingzhao solves the test, and the same county is ranked with the same surname, but it is rarer than rare! ”

Seeing that Liu Ximing was amazed, he then stood up and went back to his seat, Du Wenruo tightly clutched the thin porcelain cup in his hand, and the force could almost break it. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Du Nineteen, how can I keep letting you be in the limelight!" ”

And Liu Ximing returned to his seat, and talked and laughed with the left and right for a while, as if nothing happened, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. After Jiang Du fell from his horse and was injured last year, there was no movement for a while, he didn't pay attention to it at first, who knew that after he successfully broke through in the Wannian County test, before Jingzhao Mansion released the test, there was all kinds of news that was unfavorable to him for a while.

That's not all, when he was solving the test, all kinds of strange things frequently happened to him, such as the inkstone was overturned, the neighbor accused him of cheating, and even the test he racked his brains to write, but it was said that it was useless by the Weinan County Lieutenant who presided over the test. He only learned through various channels afterwards that it was none other than Jiang Du who was obstructing behind his back!

He was confident that the previous incident had not revealed any horses, and it must have been Du Shiyi's ghost!

"Lang Jun." A little boy stopped behind him, knelt down and sat down, then leaned in and whispered, "Jieyu brought the letter out, saying that the saint will come tonight to celebrate the birthday of Doulu Guifei!" ”

"Got it, you stand down."

Although everyone speculated that the Son of Heaven would come, no one could say for sure whether it was actually coming. When the King of Song, King Qi, King Xue, King Shen and Princess Yuzhen and Princess Huaiyang came one after another, for a time the hall was full of nobles, especially when the Doulu Guifei appeared in front of people without the support of the maidservant, and for a while, the guests under the head were all kinds of auspicious greetings. Concubine Doulu listened with a smile one by one, and after she sat down, she saw that Princess Yuzhen was sitting next to her seat as a matter of course, and she scolded softly: "This is too public." ”

"Nothing to feat." Princess Yuzhen raised her eyebrows disapprovingly, and affectionately stepped forward to pour a glass of wine for Doulu Guifei, and then said in a low voice, "I was born only a year ago, and A-Niang went. If it weren't for the concubine A-Niang, the elder brother was already old at the time, and I was still in infancy, even if I died, no one would know. The grace of nurturing is as heavy as a mountain, where will these feelings be broken because of the concubine A-Niang once she went out? ”

Speaking of this, remembering that when Doulu Guifei went out, she was almost sensible, knowing that it was Doulu Guifei and her father Ruizong who had reached the point of incompatibility, she couldn't help but sigh gloomily, and then forced herself to show her joy, and insisted that Doulu Guifei drank the cup, and then said: "Brother said that the first princess Wang Xian is still in the palace, and he is not good at mobilizing the teachers to come openly, but he will definitely come to quietly congratulate the concubine A-Niang on her birthday." Calculate the time, and those people in the pear orchard should also arrive. It's just that this time there are more Gongsun Auntie, which shows that the birthday of the concubine is really a coincidence! ”

Although she had long passed the age of joy and anger, when she heard that the Son of Heaven really planned to come in person, Concubine Doulu still showed a smile of surprise and joy, and her mood was even more agitated. At this time, most of the guests had already arrived, and when the outside world reported that the music class of the palace teacher had arrived, the guests naturally praised the holy grace for a while.

This mansion of the Doulu family was originally invited by Doulu Qinwang for his niece when he was the prime minister, but at this moment, this main hall is spacious and tall, which can accommodate so many guests, and naturally cannot accommodate as many as hundreds of Yanle bands and those singing and dancing people. Therefore, a high platform has long been erected in the courtyard outside the main hall. Seeing that the orchestra of the Xiliang Daqu was in place, the hall naturally gradually became quiet, and the Xiliang Daqu was a loose sequence without singing and dancing at the beginning, and immediately under the interpretation of hundreds of people including pipa, sheng, piccolo, shakuhachi, flute, gonghou, copper cymbals and other musical instruments, it was scattered in the air.

Du Shiyi, Dou Shilang, Wang Wei, and Zhang Jian stood in the courtyard separated by a wall, and after hearing the desolate sound of the Xiliang Daqu in the scattered order, there was a singing voice mixed in, and he couldn't help but carefully appreciate the Yanle Daqu that he heard for the first time. However, Dou Shilang commented lazily beside him: "It's the first time you have heard of it, and you will probably feel vigorous, but if you always drink and feast at festivals in the palace, it is always these tunes, and it will be just like this if you hear too much." This Xiliang Daqu is not so much the opening drama as it is to show the grace of heaven, after all, it is such an honor, no matter which minister of the state does not. ”

"The song is a good song, and there are many Chinese hands in the teaching workshop, and the song and dance are also rehearsals, but the grand is grand, and it is indeed not as careful as Du Jiulang." Wang Wei also nodded slightly, and seeing that Zhang Jian was already so nervous that his face was red, he said with a smile, "Even I'm looking forward to how thrilling the sword dance of Gongsun will be in the future." ”

"Speaking of Gongsun everyone, it is more than a month to say goodbye."

As soon as Du Shiyi finished saying this, he saw a head suddenly poking out from the shadow behind the high platform. Before he could see who it was, his head shrank back again, but after a while, it poked out again. This time, he finally recognized that it was Yue Wuniang.

Seeing her standing with her hands crossed in men's clothes, the expression on her face, which was even more bright and intimidating than her teacher, seemed to be unpredictable, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. But the next moment, he found that the person looked straight at him, and then he seemed to open his mouth and let out an exclamation, and the next moment he turned to the back of the high platform, and quickly dragged a person out, who is not Aunt Gongsun?

Seeing that Aunt Gongsun was dressed in casual clothes and had a tall posture, across the distance that was neither close nor far, but he just bowed his head slightly to himself, he was slightly stunned and hurriedly bowed his head in return, but he didn't want to be stunned and disappeared behind the high platform again. He had a faint regret in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, seeing that Dou Shilang and Wang Wei didn't pay attention, and Zhang Jian didn't care about his nervousness at all, he couldn't help but turn around and come back from the door. But before he could say anything to the three of them, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Du Langjun, why are you here too! And Wang Langjun? ”

Du Shiyi turned around suddenly, and saw that Yue Wuniang was actually standing in front of him in such a man's clothes, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he heard the music at this moment, he said angrily: "At this time, the third paragraph has been broken, this song is almost over, there is a time to interrogate, if you delay your master's sword dance, you will have to suffer from Yue Niangzi when you turn back, don't go back quickly!" ”

"Old-fashioned, if you want to talk about it, I'm older than you, and I will teach you a lesson like a child when I go back! After this Xiliang song, there will be a lot of songs and dances, and this will be our turn. Otherwise, when the master comes to power, won't others be empty and cold? ”

Leaving an angry expression, Yue Wuniang disappeared silently outside the door as if she had come. It was only at this time that Zhang Jian woke up from a dream and asked, "That was ...... just now?"

Wang Wei glanced at Du Shiyi, who shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a slight smile: "It's Yue Wuniang, a disciple of Gongsun everyone." ”
