This time Xu Xuan feasted guests, quite a bit of an adult, the meaning of opening a government and building a mansion, there are three places to entertain guests, respectfully invite the elders and a cadre of officials to drink and watch the drama in the Enqing Hall, entertain Master Xia and other friends in the Pingshan Building on the west side, and invite Xiao Mu Ningxue and other female dependents to watch miscellaneous operas in the Liuqing Jingshe that moved over.

gives Xu Hao the feeling that he wants to prove that I am more promising than my second brother, Xu Yu plays with his sisters and sisters in Yisu Garden all day long, and Xu Xuan manages serious social entertainment, and naturally makes a judgment in comparison.

The problem is that Xu Hao doesn't like his son's youthful sophistication, nor does he like the secret competition between his sons, so he went out of the city early in the morning, which inevitably disappointed Zhiqing behind the scenes.

However, Xu Hao did not object, Xu Qingtang was very supportive of his grandson's idea, at such a young age, he could be so knowledgeable, undoubtedly more sensible than Xu Yu, who only knew that he was mixed in the fat powder pile, so he personally invited his friends, including Li Wenjun, a university scholar, Lu Daotong, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, Cao Dingcai, a waiter of the Ministry of Households, Feng Bao, the director of the Criminal Department, and Hong Dengyun, a civil official, whose meaning is self-evident.

Some people also came to the family of the prince and minister in Beijing, and the five famous classes of Jinling were all present, gathering the nine most famous men and women, and specially co-starred in a big drama of "Qinhuai River Selection of Oiran".

The actors on the stage are dressed up, some have a leisurely temperament, some look enchanting, some are quiet, some are romantic, in short, they are extremely glamorous, which attracts the audience to applaud like thunder.

Xu Ye's friend Liu Wu was also invited, saluted Xu Qingtang, and asked the old lady of the Xu family to order a play, which meant that he wanted to sing on stage in person.

Xu Qingtang lowered his head and flipped through the script, and Xu Xuan stood aside and explained in a whisper. Xu Zengfu, who was sitting on the side, glanced Liu Wu up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "I have heard of his name for a long time, and I have seen him today, which can be said to be in line with the name, and it is worthy of being widely praised outside." ”

asked Liu Wu again about the origin of his age, Liu Wu, who lowered his head, replied one by one with a red face, but Xu Zengfu couldn't help but chatter when he was old, and Liu Wu's eyes couldn't help but ask for help from Xu Ye who was standing.

Xu Ye then said softly: "The third uncle didn't know that his facial features were born as a scholarly child, and because he was forced by hunger and cold at a young age, he was sold into the pear orchard, and he was ashamed of singing in his life. Today is really for fun, and it is by no means ordinary. ”

Xu Zengfu listened, nodded and said: "I see, commendable and respectable, I think this child will have some success in the future." ”

At this time, Xu Qingtang ordered a "Bao Gong Case", he deliberately ordered a "Remembering Couple", and others successively ordered "Giving Seals" and "Adding Officials" and other plays.

Liu Wu said goodbye and went backstage to change costumes, people continued to watch the play, Xu Run, who was sitting in the back, looked at it for a long time, didn't see Changqing's troupe, and said why don't you see these people? Are they all playing in the theater?

Half an hour later, there was still no one to see, Xu Run begged Xu Zhu to help ask, Xu Zhu came over and asked, "Why don't you see Qin Yan?" ”

Xu Xuan said: "She has a strange temper, I said that if you are willing to sing, you will come out, and now I don't know where the person is, maybe it will come out in a while." ”

Xu Zhu turned around and went back and said, "Maybe I'm singing to the wives in the garden, why don't we go in and take a look later?" ”

"It's good!" Xu Run nodded.

The hurried gong sounded, and as soon as the stage sang "Remembering the Couple", I saw Liu Wu dressed as Yu Sheng, wearing Confucian clothes and a Confucian scarf, and came out and sang: "Talented people in Eastern Zhejiang, Xiushi in the southwest, competing for celebrities in the world; Qingyun has a road, and it does not suffer from Buyingzhou. The plain foot is undecided, and the wonderful years are wasted in spring and autumn; The red house is cold, the orchid room is lonely, and the midnight makes people sad. ”

Probably performing in Xufu, today's Liu Wu deliberately showed off his skills, played up the spirit of 120,000 points, sang and wrote well, and the people in the audience all applauded.

On the east seat, the first seat is Li Wenjun, a university scholar, and the accompanying guest is Xu Ye. Li Wenjun tapped his fingers on the table and said: "This person is young and gentle, and he sings well, no wonder the capital is a beautiful talk for a while, and he is even proud of seeing and saying." I don't know who will be cheaper in the future, and it's not bad to be a close-fitting green clothes. ”

Xu Ye and he have always been used to being casual, smiled and whispered, "There are already customers." ”

Li Wenjun said in surprise: "Who got this deer?" Don't disgrace him. ”

This year, as several princes are about to leave for the domain, Liu Wu is equivalent to regaining his free body, originally Liu Wu is a person with an arrogant temperament, and he and the prince are mutually attracted confidants, not to mention Bao *.

Xu Ye was just about to laugh and speak, but he was heard by a person, lest he be made fun of by someone when he said it, he coughed lightly at the next seat, but he was suddenly discovered by Li Wenjun, and laughed: "Okay, Brother Yang, this son has given up his brother, and it can be said that they are unyielding to each other." Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! ”

Suddenly, the person's face was flushed, this person's name was Yang Qing, the second son of Yang Rong in the cabinet, and it was difficult to sit still for a while, and it was difficult to stop Li Wenjun from keeping his mouth shut.

Most of the civil officials around heard it, and the big guys praised Liu Wu on the stage in unison, some sighed, and some coveted and jealous, who let since ancient times, the best male style belong to the cultural circle.

But after all, Nanfeng will never be able to ascend to the hall of elegance, and people who are a little normal know how to be ashamed, Yang Qing listened to everyone's deliberate jokes, and was very embarrassed, but Liu Wu on the stage kept laughing at him affectionately.

Everyone looked at the stage, and then at Yang Qing, and laughed loudly, so that Yang Qing couldn't sit still, dropped a word of convenience, and quickly hid in the study.

Li Wenjun said with a smile: "It's all your fault for being bad and mocking people away." No, the people singing on stage are all gone. He turned his head and said loudly to the family: "You go and invite Lord Yang to come, and say that we are waiting for him to eat and drink." ”

"You, the ghost of the Hanlin Academy!" Xu Qingtang laughed and pointed at him.

Yang Qing in the study listened, so he had no choice but to come out and enter the table, his face was red and white for a while, and he lowered his head and was speechless.

Li Wenjun said with a smile: "Brother, you really owe the old man, most of the young people in the world have things, why be ashamed?" And who doesn't appreciate such characters? My generation is envious of my brother's eyesight, which is very high, and I am not as far away as my brother! I still remember when I first arrived in Jinling, the young man's temperament, diligently looking for love everywhere but couldn't, not to mention that the world brother is so talented, and the facial features are so beautiful, it is the heaven created to be appreciated by the world brother. After speaking, he laughed and said: "If I don't say something presumptuous, I'm not afraid that all the princes here will be angry, except for the younger brother, no one else is worthy of getting to know the five senses!" ”

The others laughed and laughed, and no one took it to heart, but Yang Qing, who was the person concerned, felt more and more ashamed. Thinking that he is the son of a dignified cabinet minister, it is inappropriate to have fun, and now he is openly in love with a male actor, even if everyone in the circle is recognized as a beautiful talk, but what about outside the circle?

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, China has never been criticized in peacetime, because it is naturally strongly constrained by Confucian morality, it will always be a minority that cannot be put on the table, and the Chinese are big country minds, that is, the so-called I do not agree with it but also do not slander, and the Tao is not ashamed.

In the same period of time, the world was also inevitable, but both Central Asia and Europe were the domain of the Church, that is, homosexuality was heresy, and it had to be burned to death, even if it was the favorite practice of religious people.

Interestingly, the Confucian civilization to this day still adheres to the tolerant attitude of homosexuality that is not promoted or strictly forbidden in ancient times, and is still not on the table, or is it constrained by the entire social atmosphere, and the current situation in the Western world? Hehe!

Facing the ridicule of the big guy, Yang Qing reluctantly smiled: "Brother Shi can't believe his words, Xu Dashao deliberately spoiled the little brother." The facial features are valuable and the temperament is arrogant, he doesn't bother to get acquainted with any prince and noble, and the younger brother is just a poor Hanlin, how dare he think so? Once you are heard by your facial features, it is too self-conscious to laugh at your little brother. ”

"If you don't." Li Wenjun shook his head and said: "The facial features can't be suppressed by wealth and nobility, I have heard for a long time that he contacts people, and there is a distinction between high and low character." Brother Xu is close friends with you, he will never spoil you in vain, no matter how you justify, I don't believe it anyway. ”

Xu Ye regretted Meng Lang and threw Yang Qing with an apologetic look, and Yang Qing smiled bitterly at him.

Talking and laughing here, but Lu Daotong, the chief servant of the western department, listened uncomfortable, it turned out that Lu Daotong was the most fond of the south wind in his life, and he had admired it to get close, but Liu Wu suspected that he was a Shanxi Yankee, rude by nature, and ignored him, so he left after sitting for a while.

Lu Daotong was very bored, and later learned that Liu Wuyi was like this, and he had hardly committed to anyone since his debut, except for the rumored prince, so Lu Daotong was just that.

Seeing Liu Wulai performing today, when Xu Zengfu was talking to him, Lu Daotong observed that his gaze at Yang Qing was different, and he was full of doubts in his heart at that time.

Now that he heard Li Wenjun's ridicule again, and saw Yang Qing like this, it was obvious that Liu Wu had taken a fancy to him, and he suddenly became angry in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Yang Xian's nephew's words are not unreasonable, his facial features are quite arrogant by nature, and even the prince is so good to him, he is not too flattering." Could it be that a prince is not going to make a knot, but is willing to make friends with Yang Xian's nephew? Master Li can't wronged people, this is just a joke between Xu Gongzi and him. ”

Yang Qing knew that Lord Lu was sarcastic about him, but he was very happy in his heart, and wanted to use this to stop everyone's mouths, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Lu really has insight into the heart of the lower officials, so it can be seen that even if I have the facial features, he has no intention of me. ”

Li Wenjun, as a noble bachelor, was used to laughing and scolding, and smiled at Lu Daotong: "Don't you speak for him, could it be that you also have heart and facial features?" Do you want to be jealous with Brother Yang? ”

The people around him suddenly burst into laughter, Lu Dao, who was also a waiter, saw Li Wenjun making fun of him, and it was difficult to speak again, so he smiled on his face.

Officials are no different from ordinary people when they drink and eat in private, Li Wenjun has always liked to ridicule and ridicule his colleagues for fun, so Lu Daotong didn't take it to heart, and he didn't want to see him in general, but secretly hated Liu Wu, thinking: "Hate Liu Wu, you little brute, you snubbed me a few days ago, I didn't blame you, I thought you were like this, it turns out that you actually fell in love with Yang Qing?" In terms of talent, he is far inferior to me, and in terms of official position, he is far inferior, even if he has a good old man, can he compare to my heavenly official servant? It's understandable. Yes! Since you are so hateful, don't blame me for obstructing it, even if you have the surname Yang, it is in vain. ”

At this time, Xu Qingtang saw that the more they talked, the more they talked, and Yang Qing was his protégé, so he continued to talk about other topics and relieved Yang Qing.

Liu Wu on the stage finished his performance and came down to toast one by one.

Lu Daotong was unhappy in his heart, and the wine in front of him was saluted, but his body didn't move, and he said goodbye directly. And most of the officials came for a long time, and everyone had already wanted to leave, so no one guessed why Lord Lu was like this, and they all thought that he just didn't want to socialize in the Xu Mansion for too long.
