Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 60 Changyin Pavilion

Huo Bingcheng is questioning Zhang Zhe.

"Believe me, don't lie to me. How can you not send a poem as a gift when you send Yue's family far away? Why don't you get it as it is? What a good poem it is."

Zhang Zhe really didn't copy the poems to send them off this time. In such a sad parting scene, the time to say every sentence is extravagant, so there is no room for him to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf inexplicably.

But after hearing Huo Bingcheng's words, Zhang Zhe changed his mind, but he had some ideas.

When the ancients made farewell poems, the most important functions were nothing more than two points.

One is to express reluctance and friendship, and the other is to be strong.

What is Zhuang Xing?In Zhang Zhe's view, those who wrote farewell poems for their degraded friends had a great meaning to show that this person was demoted by the court, but our best friends are still working in the court. Don't mess with him, mess with him. He just messed with us.

Zhang Zhe has no official status now, and his reputation is only in the county, but if he chooses a good farewell poem and sends it to Meng Chuansheng, once it spreads, the scholars in Xijiang will definitely look up to Meng Chuansheng.

He bowed his head and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands lightly and said, "Yes!"

Huo Bingcheng laughed loudly: "Believe it quickly, read it quickly."

Zhang Zhe turned his head to look at the bullock cart, estimated the distance between himself and Meng Xiaowan, and then amplified his voice by two points.

"The title is "Send Meng Jiyan to the West River". The flowing water connects Wuling with waves, and you don't feel hurt when you send it off. The green mountains are the same as the clouds and rain, and the bright moon has never been the two towns." (Changed a word in the poem)
After hearing this poem, Huo Bingcheng applauded loudly.

More than ten steps away, inside the bullock cart.

Luo Chenshi put down her ears from the window, and turned her head to look at Meng Xiaowan.

"Your husband, you are indeed a great talent, and you also come up with such poems casually?"

Meng Xiaowan was deliberately indifferent, but her ears were also perked up just now.

"It's just good at poetry. Maybe it was thought up last night. How can it compare to the wealth of your husband's and natal family's?"

Luo Chenshi sneered, gritted her teeth and pinched Meng Xiaowan's waist.

"I don't know you yet. In the past, I hated wealth and honor the most. People who don't understand you think you are praising me, but they don't know that you are sarcastic!"

She turned her head and sighed again: "I originally thought that based on your talent, learning and character, you must marry a talented man. Who knows, God has arranged for you early? With such a great talent, I see you Is it hard to guard him from time to time?"

When Meng Xiaowan heard this, her smile subsided slightly, and she didn't know what to think of for a while.

Huo Bingcheng dragged Zhang Zhe to a huge building with a plaque on it that read "Changyin Pavilion", and behind him was the Qixian Tower that exposed the liar that day.

Just now Luo Chenshi invited Meng Xiaowan to stay at her house temporarily, saying that it happened that her mother-in-law went to the nunnery to visit the Buddha, and her husband also went to other places to visit friends, and they will not return until the end of the month.Only Luo Chenshi and the fourth sister-in-law of the Luo family were left in the huge family. Luo Chenshi had long thought of asking Meng Xiaowan to have a gathering for a few days.

After hearing what Meng Xiaowan wanted, Zhang Zhe agreed to pick her up at Luo's house in three days.

As soon as Meng Xiaowan left, he was dragged to Changyin Pavilion by the overjoyed Huo Bingcheng.He also threw half a tael of silver to the book boy and told him to take Sanqi to eat and drink by himself.

Huo Bingcheng stood in front of the building and whispered something to Zhang Zhe.

"The guy surnamed Guo is listening to the opera here today. The test of faith has passed, and the matter of the Yue family has come to an end. Today, the two of us are looking for his bad luck!"

Zhang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If Huo Bingcheng had taken him to the Qixian Tower behind him, he would have already run away.

It's not that he's not lustful, it's just that his eyes are only on Meng Xiaowan now, and he is afraid of hurting Meng Xiaowan when she is most confused and lonely, so he pays attention everywhere.

Surnamed Guo?Isn't it the Guo Shusheng who immediately asked his wife to send back the Yaoqin gifted by Meng Xiaowan after the Meng family was in trouble!
"Let's go, brother Jiyuan!" Zhang Zhe regained his energy immediately, and walked into Changyin Pavilion side by side with Huo Bingcheng.

He wants to play with this person well today, come up with a few beautiful poses, so that he can show off to his wife when he goes back, so that his wife can relieve her anger.

Changyin Pavilion occupies a large area, and Huo Bingcheng led Zhang Zhe for half a cup of tea, before arriving at a place similar to an ancient theater.The two were led up to the second floor by Dr. Tea, and sat down next to the railing, just turning their heads to see the performance on the stage.

A pot of Gu Yanchun and four dishes of dim sum were served, Dr. Cha took Huo Bingcheng's reward and left cheerfully.

Huo Bingcheng calmly pointed at the table on the left in the downstairs hall with his fan.

"The one sitting at the west end is that ungrateful Mr. Guo."

Zhang Zhe glanced at the man casually, then turned his attention to the stage.

It was still in the afternoon, and the busiest time for Changyin Pavilion was when night fell.

Huo Bingcheng had already arranged for someone to investigate clearly. This Guo Chongshan had been sitting in Changyin Pavilion for the past few days until midnight before returning home, so he was not in a hurry to clean up this person.

Zhang Zhe has no research on ancient operas, let alone hobbies. The only things he can listen to are some well-known excerpts of Peking opera and famous Huagu operas.If he had to choose a favorite opera, he would still choose Huangmei.

What is being performed on the stage is a repertoire similar to burlesque, the singing is very interesting, and the performance of the characters is also vivid.Zhang Zhe, who was exposed to this for the first time, understood a little bit of it.

The performances in Changyin Pavilion were very lively, and the variety was beyond Zhang Zhe's expectation.

There are small board operas similar to skits, double-mouth storytelling that is no different from cross talk, juggling, and magic are all wonderful.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark outside.

After dinner on the second floor, a pair of curtains were hung on the stage.

When people upstairs and downstairs saw this curtain, they all started to applaud loudly, especially that Guo Shusheng was so excited.

Huo Bingcheng pointed to the four characters "Fan with Hairpin Flowers" on the curtain, and said mysteriously.

"Xinzhi brother, do you know what these four words have to do with my brother?"

Zhang Zhe didn't understand what these four words represented, so he shook his head directly.

"Hey, let me mention three more words, and Xinzhi will be able to guess right. It's the word 'Xu Niangzi'!"

"Miss Xu?" Zhang Zhe lowered his head and thought, isn't it the one who was cheated by the fake Zhang Xinzhi all night, the lady Xu from Yinghua Pavilion?
Zhang Zhe asked curiously, "Could it be that Miss Xu is still a character?"

Huo Bingcheng gave Zhang Zhe a meaningful look with the attitude of a seasoned flower bush.

"Actually, this lady Xu was originally from a theater troupe who traveled all over the world. When she arrived in this county, I heard that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Later, the troupe leader stopped going around the world and sold the whole troupe to Yinghua Pavilion. After this lady Xu became famous , I often come to Changyin Pavilion to play a role, and I don’t know how many people have been fascinated by her voice. Speaking of which, this young lady hasn’t come here for a year or two. However, these days, she comes here often, and she sings Half night."

"Brother Jiyuan, what are you doing looking at me like that?" Zhang Zhe avoided Huo Bingcheng's eyes, he probably guessed something.

"Hehe, Xinzhi's words are so ruthless. If she hadn't been burdened by the reputation of her virtuous brother, Lady Xu wouldn't have come here to earn her hard-earned money. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sit in the Yinghua Pavilion drinking tea and singing?"

"Me?" Zhang Zhe pointed at himself, "Are you kidding me? That person cheated in my name, why did he want to involve me?"

Zhang Zhe was about to refute these fallacies of Huo Bingcheng, but suddenly his mind lit up and he thought of something.

"Brother Jiyuan, I just don't know how the friendship between the girl Yuxin who confronted my elder brother last night and this lady Xu is like?"

Huo Bingcheng was startled, and thought to himself: This fellow is indeed a monster!
