…

Half an hour later, Xiangyun was finally asked to leave by Mrs. Xu, the owner of Cuihonglou, to make final preparations for the upcoming "leaving the cabinet." During this half hour, Li Anran enjoyed himself.

Have a look at the charm of ancient singing and dancing.

With Li Anran's promise, although they still could not escape the experience of "leaving the cabinet", it was already a layer of protection for Xiangyun and Su Xiaomei. Therefore, the two tried their best when playing, singing and dancing, and performed well.

A feast of hearing and vision.

Especially Xiangyun's dancing posture, matched with that outfit, is indeed quite attractive. There is also a trace of temptation in the elegant and agile dancing posture. If Li Anran hadn't been instigated by his college roommates in modern time and space, he would have watched "

"Love Action Movie", it can be regarded as quite a bit of "skill". In addition, practicing Taoist Kungfu is not in vain. Facing such a dance, you may really have a physiological reaction.

Not long after Xiangyun left the clouds, Cuihonglou, which was originally relatively deserted, quickly became lively. The high platform in the middle of the lobby specially used for singing and dancing performances has also been decorated.

Although the private room where Li Anran was located was on the second floor, the location was excellent. Not only could he have a clear view of the lobby on the first floor, but it was also very close to a good seat height.

As the number of guests increased, the whole hall of Cuihong Building quickly became more and more crowded.

"Huh? They are here too?" Li Anran, who was holding a wine glass and looking at the lively environment below, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when his eyes fell on the two people who had just come in.

"Hey, it's Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why do you have time to admire the sights today? Could it be that you also saw Xiangyun?" Mrs. Xu, who was greeting the guests, quickly greeted the two people who had just entered.

He went up and greeted with a smile on his face.

"Haha... I came here not for Xiangyun, but to meet friends." Wu Cheng'en, who was chubby, said with a smile.

As for Zheng Chenggong, who was standing aside waving a folding fan and looking like a handsome young man from the world, he was too lazy to pay attention to a **** boss, which was too low of status.

"I see, you two are invited upstairs. The distinguished guest is in the private room upstairs." Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment. She quickly realized who the friend in the other party's words was referring to, and quickly called for a guest.

The man ordered the man to be brought up.

After a short while, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen arrived at the door of the elegant room. However, they did not go in directly. Instead, they politely sang a promise outside the door.

This kind of behavior fell in Mrs. Xu's eyes, and she was surprised and became more curious and cautious about someone's origin and background.

"I didn't expect Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu to come too. Please take a seat." After discovering that the other party went upstairs and came directly to his side, Li Anran knew that this was definitely not a coincidence, and quickly invited the people into the room and said with a smile.

"Please forgive me, Master." Zheng Chenggong, who was not in a hurry to sit down, suddenly bowed deeply and said.

"Oh? What's Zheng Langjun's crime?" Li Anran stood up with a smile and returned the salute, pretending not to know.

"The crime is concealing his identity. I think the real person already knows that this person is not a shopkeeper, but a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang." After the salute, Zheng Chenggong said with a wry smile.

"Haha... It is also a fate for me to be able to make friends with the descendants of the dignified Zheng family in Xingyang. Come on, come on, sit down first and then talk about it. It's just a trivial matter. Why should Mr. Zheng worry about it?" It was obvious that the words had been spoken.

, Li Anran no longer pretended to be confused, and greeted with a smile.

As for the fact that the other party was a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Li Anran had learned about it from Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun before. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but later after checking on the Internet, he discovered that the Zheng family in Xingyang was no small business.

Door

A small family, but with a big background. It was a famous big family in the north from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was associated with the Cui family of Boling, the Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Wang family of Taiyuan.

They are also known as the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

Even after going through changes and entering the Tang Dynasty, the Zheng family declined a lot compared to the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, but it still belonged to a famous family. However, according to historical records, the implementation of the imperial examination system in the later period had further impact.

This eventually led to the gradual decline of the Xingyang Zheng family. However, among the entire Zheng surname, the Xingyang Zheng family is still the most prominent.

Although this Zheng Chenggong is not a direct descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he should be considered a member of the immediate branch, otherwise he would not be assigned to be responsible for some business matters in Lantian County. But with the entire Zheng family in Xingyang doing it

As a backer, and because he actually has real materials, most people have to sell some face.

After hearing Zheng Chenggong's true identity, Li Anran understood why he was so similar to Lantian County Magistrate Gu Bangcai. As for shopkeeper Wu, it was said that he was working for a certain prince. Of course, what was the specific situation?

, based on the source of information of Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, it is naturally impossible to know very clearly. Otherwise, a small shopkeeper would not be able to get along with the lord of the county on an equal footing.

After finishing talking about Zheng Chenggong, the three people sitting together exchanged pleasantries. As they chatted, the topic came to Xiangyun, who was "leaving the cabinet" today.

When he heard that Li Anran wanted to help Xiangyun redeem his life, but Mrs. Xu didn't give him any face and still wanted to "leave the cabinet", Wu Chengen slapped the case table in front of him, and Zheng Chenggong's face suddenly darkened.

Come down.

"Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu should not be angry about this matter. Everyone has their own fate, and Mrs. Xu also has Mrs. Xu's difficulties. Xiaomei, why don't you pour some wine for the two of you to calm down the anger." Before Fatty Wu could wait,

Li Anran quickly tried to dissuade him with a smile.

"Yes, Master." Su Xiaomei, who had originally hoped that Zheng Chenggong and the two would show up to help her sisters, met her master's eyes and couldn't help but swallow back the words that had come to her mouth.

While Su Xiaomei was pouring the wine, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were wondering why someone didn't let them help, no one was a fool to sit in this seat, so the two of them unanimously did not mention this matter again.

, but drank wine and chatted while waiting for the "leaving the cabinet" to officially begin.

About half an hour later, more than half an hour later, as a clear and clear piano sound like flowing water suddenly sounded, the originally noisy Cuihonglou hall quickly became quiet.

Li Anran, who was lying slanted on the cushion, looked at the owner of Cuihonglou, Mrs. Xu, standing on the high platform from an excellent angle. For a moment, it really felt like watching an entertainment program in modern time and space.

From previous chats with Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen, I learned that this "leaving the court" can be divided into two stages. The first is for the Qing courtiers who are about to leave the court to display their talents in public. According to later generations, it is divided into calligraphy and painting performances;

In addition to the fixed performances, the four aspects of playing music, singing and dancing will also be performed live according to the requirements of the audience. Of course, this kind of performance is not free. Who wants to get the right to let Xiangyun perform?

You have to pay, pay a lot of money.

Compared with Li Anran's novel feeling, Zheng Chenggong and Wu Cheng'en are obviously not surprised by this "leaving the cabinet". However, since someone is excited, these two people will naturally not do anything to disgrace the scenery. Not only

With you beside me, I introduced the whole process sentence by sentence, and by the way, I also made some relatively objective comments about Xiangyun who performed on stage later, and I didn't even call a girl.

As for the ancient songs and music, for Li Anran, who is accustomed to the music styles of later generations, they are really just average, but the calligraphy, painting and dance are really good. Especially the latter, I don’t know why, standing on the stage

Xiangyun who performed in the performance was obviously better than before in the private room. Or to be more precise, it should be more tempting.

After the fixed programs were performed one by one, the stage where the audience randomly designated a program amidst the cheers came.

"Master..." Su Xiaomei, who became more and more unable to sit still, couldn't help but plead after hearing the price calls coming one after another downstairs.

"Don't worry, I won't stand idly by." Li Anran, knowing what the other person was thinking, reached out and pinched the other person's chin, smiling.

At this time, the asking price below had soared from the initial 30 guan to 100 guan.

"Xiang Ling, go and tell me that I am willing to pay five hundred guan." Relying on modern time and space, Li Anran, who was not short of money in the Tang Dynasty, saw that the bidding was coming to an end, and then he gave the order.

.

"I obey, young master." Xiang Ling, who was called into the private room, quickly bowed, then walked outside and said, "The master of this slave is willing to pay five hundred guan!"

"Wow!" As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Cuihong Building was in an uproar.

"Five hundred strings?!"

"Who is so generous?"

"I saw Zheng Langjun and shopkeeper Wu going there before. Could it be..."

"No, Zheng Langjun and Shopkeeper Wu just came here together, and they didn't bring any maids with them."

"I feel the same way. Who would bring a maid with them to a place like this?"

"Who the hell is that?"

…

Xiang Yun, who was standing on the stage, could not see anything unusual at first, but after hearing the bid of five hundred dollars and taking a look, he found that the person who spoke was the personal maid of his sister Su Xiaomei, and he couldn't help but have circles in his eyes.
