Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 24 Mayfly Shake the Tree
The Lingering Garden in the western suburbs of Suzhou sits hugging the mountain, and the scenery is amazing, and it is the most prosperous in spring.

In the past few days, an opera troupe from Beijing has come to set up a stage in Lingering Garden. What they sing is not Su Qu'er in the past, but the northern big drum commentary. Many gentlemen who have nothing to do in the city want to have a taste fresh.

A few days ago, Lu Guogong asked the servant to deliver a message to Gu Yuanwai, and today he made an appointment to listen to music in Lingering Garden.

The Lu family and the Gu family can be regarded as family friends, but the Gu family fell early, and now they can still have friendship with the Duke Lu's mansion, so the Gu family is a senior.

"Brother Gu, I'm looking forward to seeing you here." Lu Jinyan went out early and waited for a while at the gate of Lingering Garden, only to see Gu Yuanwai rushing over in a hurry.

The ancient man was panting badly, his front flap trembled for a while before he stopped, his face was like a cluster of chrysanthemums: "I don't know something, my son has won the Beijing Chunwei, and he will go to the palace test in April, this heaven has eyes, which is enough to let me know." The Gu family has produced another talent!"

"That's really congratulations to your son, and I hope your son's palace examination will be held high." Hearing from Gu Yuanwai that his son is already in Chunwei High School, Lu Jinyan was heartily happy for Gu Yuanwai. Overjoyed.

"Let's go, go in!" Gu Yuan walked hurriedly on the road outside, sweating a little on both sides of the Lun towel, patted Lu Jinyan's shoulder, and motioned him to enter the Lingering Garden to talk in detail.

The servant in the Lingering Garden is also very familiar with the identities of the two of them. Seeing the two masters visiting today, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his waist, saluting respectfully: "It's rare that the two masters are free today, and I will give you back the seat you usually sit in." You keep it!"

This young man is also used to being able to talk, but today the two of them came earlier, and there were not many customers, so they claimed that this seat was carefully reserved.

Although it is a commonly used business phrase, it also made the customer feel refreshed after hearing it.

"What play are you listening to today?" Lu Jinyan took the warm water handed by the boy to wash his hands, and asked with his head turned.

The servant took out two playbooks from his pocket and presented them to Lu Jinyan and the old man respectively.

The two looked carefully, and found that there were thirteen operas in the booklet, five major operas and eight minor operas.

"I clicked on this "Guo Ji Punishes Thieves", Brother Gu, do you want to watch it?" After concentrating on it for a while, he landed on one of the five major dramas with his long finger.

Gu Yuanwai listened with joy on his brows: "The two of us really thought of one thing, and I will order "Guo Ji Punishes Thieves" too!"

Guo Ji was a minor official of the fifth rank in the former dynasty. He was upright and loyal to the court. However, he was squeezed out by some aristocratic families everywhere, and his official career was not smooth. The aristocratic family committed the crime of corruption and breaking the law, and the crimes were collected before the imperial court.

But those people standing on the court today, even though they hold salaries, how many of them are dedicated to the court.

When the boy heard that the two masters had ordered the play, he took the playbook back in his hand and ran backstage to discuss with the class master about the start of the play.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!" The sound of drums and plywood playing.

"You two masters, do you still want to make the tea leaves from last time?" The servant brought some plates of preserved fruit, Hua Ziren, seeing the two of them watching a play, asked in a low voice.

"Let's have a drink," Gu Yuanwai responded, waving his hands.

After a while, two red-painted painted pottery tea bowls are placed on the table, and the lids of the bowls are lifted. The tea leaves inside are curled up into balls, spreading out like clouds, and the fragrance of tea is unique to Suzhou. Biluochun.

Yingsu and Fuyun had nothing to do at the inn, so they asked the innkeeper about the customs and customs of Suzhou.

As soon as the two of them entered the Lingering Garden, they saw "Guo Ji Punishing Thieves" singing on the stage.

Immediately became interested, asked the young man who ordered it, and followed the direction of his fingers to find it, and saw two middle-aged men sitting side by side, taking a sip from the tea bowl on the table from time to time, their faces lost in thought.

Ying Su nodded, took off his robe and sat behind the two of them, and watched the play carefully. At the last part, which was also the most exciting part, Guo Ji was wronged by the rebellious officials and was about to be decapitated, but he didn't change his clothes in a hurry. Taking out the memorials of 73 things that harmed the court made by the great families of various families, the plot was reversed and it was very satisfying.

At the end of a play, I am afraid that there are still people who have not woken up from the play.

"Hey, Dongpu is also in danger now!" With a light sigh, Lu Jinyan shook his head and felt sorry for himself.

Gu Yuanwai hastily covered his mouth, looked around, for fear of misfortune coming out of his mouth: "My dear brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Behind the two of them, Fuyun heard these two desperate men talking about the destruction of the country, his heart was to blame, and he wanted to step forward to teach the two of them but was stopped by his master, so angry that he pointed a finger at the air viciously He poked the backs of the two people in front.

"My little daughter once talked about the imperial court with me like a cockroach." Speaking of his little daughter, Lu Jinyan raised his sword eyebrows, and his expression was extremely smug.

"Why?"

The ancient members are confused by the color bands on the outside.

Sitting behind the two of them, Ying Su's face was so stern, and he felt a little strange in his heart, he propped his jaw and listened to him continue discussing the matter.

"Everyone knows how easy it is to shake a tree with a gnat, but if the tree is a good tree, it is indeed indestructible. If the tree has been eaten by insects and the inside is rotten, the tree can be shattered by a gnat." Listen to Lu Jinyan After these words, not to mention Gu Yuanwai, even Fuyun standing behind him nodded secretly.

Ying Su's expression was calm, and it was not unreasonable to ponder over the words, and heard the man in front of him say: "Nowadays, the war continues, and the treasury is empty, so we can only increase taxes and scrape the people's anointing, and the saint is in Beijing. .”

"Young brother, don't talk about it anymore. Although the sky is high and the emperor is far away, you still have ears across the river!" Gu Yuanwai advised Lu Jinyan in a deep voice, telling Lu Jinyan not to continue.

Fu Yun glanced at her master with a normal expression, grinned stupidly, and said in her heart: "Although the emperor is far away, the emperor's son is sitting behind the two of you, hey! Are you afraid?"

"No people, no home, no home, no country!" The words from the heart echoed in my ears.

"Is this what your little girl said?" Gu Yuanwai asked with his eyes wide open.

"It's the fourth daughter of my family, Ziyu said it!" Lu Jinyan stroked his beard and smiled.

During the conversation, a servant from Lu's mansion ran into from the gate of the Lingering Garden until Lu Jinyan bowed sideways and saluted: "My lord, my lady invites you back to the mansion!"

Ying Su raised his head and looked at Lu Jinyan calmly. He saw that this person had a gentle brow and clear eyes. This was Lu Guogong.

What a coincidence!

"Siblings are under strict control, you should go quickly, if you have time, come to the door and continue!" Gu Yuanwai was a straightforward person, he listened to the urging of the Lu family's servants, and did not make it difficult for Lu Jinyan, and urged him to go back.

"Come on, little brother, take a step!" Lu Jinyan cupped his hands, and was about to turn around when Gu Yuanwai stopped him, stopping his steps.

"My virtuous brother! My youngest son will return from Beijing in May, and I will bring him to pay a visit!" Gu Yuanwai intends to marry Lu Guogong.

Lu Jinyan knew that her daughter would have a good fortune in the future, so she had to take Haha to agree first.

After they left, Ying Su who was sitting at the back table brought a cup, with a thin smile on his lips: "The fourth mother of the Lu family, Lu Ziyu?"

What he said is truly impressive!

"Master, who are you talking about?" Fuyun scratched her head, not knowing the meaning behind it.

"Talking about Moya!" Ying Su gave him a sideways look.

Touching the tip of his nose, Fuyun knew that the master was joking with him, but when he heard the name Mo Ya, he felt like he had eaten coptis!
