Chapter 104

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Early the next morning, Zhou Jun woke up from a dream.

Amidst the faint fragrance, he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the beautiful and unique bird bed curtain.

After struggling to get up, Zhou Jun looked around and vaguely remembered that this was Golden Phoenix's boudoir.

Trying to recall everything that happened last night, Zhou Jun only remembered that he seemed to be too drunk first, and then fell unconscious.

Holding the edge of the bed, Zhou Jun wanted to stand up, but the pain in his lower back made him shiver.

After a while, Zhou Jun finally came to his senses. When he got out of bed, he wanted to pick up the clothes on the fence.

Hearing the movement in the room, the servant who had been waiting outside the door walked in and bowed and said, "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jun glanced at him and asked, "Where is your master?"

Servant: "My master left the house early in the morning, and I am afraid he has already left the city."

Zhou Jun was stunned when he heard this and felt a little regretful.

Finally, I didn't see Golden Phoenix for the last time, let alone see her off.

Just as he was about to ask something, Zhou Jun suddenly saw the sky outside the door and was shocked and said: "Oh no! I missed the point!"

Zhou Jun quickly put on his clothes and rushed out the door. Someone behind him just shouted for dinner, but he didn't pay attention at all.

After picking up the horse, Zhou Jun returned home as soon as possible.

Ignoring his parents' questioning, he entered the wing, quickly changed into his official robe, and hurried to the capital.

Even so, when Zhou Jun stepped into the gate of Duguansi, he still made a mistake.

With a feeling of uneasiness, Zhou Jun found Master Cheng and confessed repeatedly. Unexpectedly, the latter didn't take it to heart at all.

When Zhou Jun sat down, he looked around and found that all the officials in the department looked absent-minded, and they could still hear faint whispers.

Zhou Jun went to the subordinate official next to him and asked what happened.

Only then did we know that there was a military post early in the morning, and they entered the imperial city at high speed.

Following this, there was news from the Beiting Protectorate - Wusu Khan was killed by Basimi's tribe, and the Turks were in chaos.

After hearing the news, Zhou Jun knew that the Turks' strength had finally come to an end.

The Turks emerged in the middle of the sixth century and were another famous nomadic nation after the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Rouran.

In history, it split several times and experienced cycles of surrender, rebellion, surrender, and rebellion again and again with the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Zhou Jun clearly remembered that the news of the death of the Turkic Khan reached the palace. Soon after, Xuanzong would order Shuofang Jiedushi Wang Zhongsi to send troops, and the latter would destroy a total of eleven Turkic troops in the left chamber.

At the same time, Pei Luo Yehu, the skeletal force of the Uighur people, defeated the remnants of the Turks and killed the last khan, Falcon Longclaw Baimei, completely ending the history of the Turks.

However, in Zhou Jun's view, these things are a bit far away.

Having read that period of history, he also wanted to see the war in Mobei, but in the end, it was just a book of history, so where would he have the opportunity to see it all?

After thinking about this, Zhou Jun started busy with the work of compiling the prisoner's official register, and soon forgot about the news.

When he was busy until noon, Chief Cheng found Zhou Jun and said to him: "I heard that both Beili Zhongqu people know that a play of The West Chamber was performed on Chinese Valentine's Day. How can Heng know about this?"

Zhou Jun heard this and nodded in agreement.

Chief Cheng said: "First someone in the palace saw the script of the play, and then they heard that the opera was also very good, so they asked the Jiaofang to perform it again in the Liyuan."

"In the past few days, Jiaofang is afraid that he will go to Beili to look for someone. If he asks for the script, he may even send an official envoy."

"Hengcai has time. Let's go to Beili and remind them first to tell them to do their duty and not to be arrogant."

After saying this, Chief Cheng was still a little worried and warned again: "Especially Song Ruo'e, she is not a member of the music family. Although she has talents and learning skills, she is too high-spirited and likes to say hurtful things. Please give her some warning."

Her some."

Zhou Jun agreed.

After registering Xing Kan with Chief Cheng, Zhou Jun left the capital court early and rode to Pingkangfang.

After leaving his horse in the stable, Zhou Jun heard the sound of people and noisy discussions in the distance before he could reach the gate of Beili Zhongqu.

I saw a large number of people, blocking the courtyard of Zhongqu.

When I got closer, I saw the literati who were reciting poems and writing poems, the rich merchants with tens of thousands of dollars, and the crazy men and women who were shouting opera lyrics.

Everyone gathered here because they wanted to meet the characters from The West Chamber.

The villagers who maintained order at the gate of the venue shouted loudly not to crowd in and kept writing down the interviews.

After recording the name and identity of the visitor, the attendant will issue a wooden sign to the visitor, and at the same time inform the other party that a list will be released outside the venue later. If there is a name on the list, you can enter the song.

Zhou Jun couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Now if he wants to enter Beili, he has to win a lottery first.

After finally squeezing his way to the gate, Zhou Jun was pushed while giving his name to Fang Ding.

When the latter heard Zhou Jun's name, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked to see Ping Yin.

Zhou Jun took out the fish charm from his arms and showed it to him.

After confirming that it was correct, Fang Ding lifted the fence and let Zhou Jun enter the song.

When others saw it, they immediately shouted: "Why did he get in?!"

The shopkeeper yelled: "He is Zhou Hengcai! The original writer of The West Chamber!"

Leaving the noise behind him, Zhou Jun moved forward along the middle song, first going to Song Ruo'e's yard.

I saw a crowd of people in front of the courtyard gate, shouting loudly, all of them were visitors who wanted to see Cui Yingying.

Zhou Jun thought to himself for a while, then turned back to learn about Qin's former residence.

When he walked to the door of Gu Ran's backyard, Zhou Jun saw that the door was closed, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A maid's voice came from behind the door: "Jiedu knows there will be no guests today."

Zhou Jun thought for a moment and said, "Please inform me that the person here is Zhou Hengcai."

There was silence behind the door for a while.

Finally, the door opened a crack.

The maid behind the door saw Zhou Jun. She first stuck her head out and looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, she quickly pulled the latter into the courtyard and quickly closed the door.

The maid waved to Zhou Jun to follow her. The latter was confused and did so.

After entering the hall, Zhou Jun finally understood the other party's intention.

It turned out that the actor who played Cui Yingying, Song Ruo'e, was hiding in her former residence with a depressed look on her face.

Jie Qin, who was standing aside, saw Zhou Jun and greeted him first, then asked with a smile: "How come Zhou Jun has no time to come here today?"

Zhou Jun bowed his hand to Jie Qin Gong and told Chief Cheng's excuse exactly.

Xie Qin didn't say anything after hearing this, but Ruo'e frowned and asked: "As an official? Will the Jiaofang ask me to play Cui Yingying again in that pear garden?"

Zhou Jun thought for a while and replied: "If E is not from Leji, the teaching will not force her into trouble."

"I guess I would like to ask you to give me some advice and find another musician to perform in the Liyuan again."

When Ruo'e heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Xie Qin looked at Ruo'e and smiled and said: "The layman is a very popular celebrity nowadays. There are wealthy businessmen who spend millions just to meet him, but you abandon him like a pair of worn shoes."

Song Ruo'e: "Those stupid people will make me sick if I take one more look at them. Don't mention them again!"

Jie Qin blinked: "What the layman is really worried about is that if this ostentatious reputation reaches Zhong Zhang's ears, won't it only make him feel bad?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to this, Ruo'e gets angry: "I really regret it! You obviously have nothing to do with me, why do you have to take over Cui Yingying's role? In the end, it's all my fault for being upset and bored.

Got it!"
