After watching Gu Qinghuan leave, Lu Bai turned around and asked, "Is the investigation finished?"
The interrogating officer hurriedly bowed and returned: "The investigation is over."
"Is there any problem?" Lu Bai asked again.
"Wine--" Lu Bai's disciple was about to answer when the interrogating officer smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with the wine, there's nothing wrong with it."
He waved to the brothers in Shuiguan, "Let's go!"
Then, the interrogating officer approached Lu Baigong and went ashore tremblingly and fearfully. After the ship entered the city and disappeared from sight, he wiped his face with sweat and thought that the governor of Nanzhen was really sick and was in good health.
What kind of good official is that?
He was still used to those who always scolded him, so it was easier for him not to step into trouble.
Naturally, Lu Bai didn't know how to interrogate the petty officials' secrets.
He is admiring the scenery of Qinhuai River.
Qinhuai River just woke up when it was almost noon.
The blue sky is reflected on the river, illuminating the fragrant Qinhuai River. Gradually, people are sitting on the terraces of the river houses on both sides of the river. The girls who have been busy all night finally wake up and continue day after day.
of livelihood.
Happy laughter, chatter and melodious music filled the air.
On the river, some pleasure boats also came out. Every time the soft oars swayed by, the reflections in the water meandered and jumped like snakes on the green water.
Lu Bai drank a glass of wine and looked at the gray horse-head walls on both sides of the bank. No wonder, after losing most of the country, the Southern Dynasty kept shouting to regain its homeland, but never made any big moves. In this gentle countryside, if it were him, he would
It will also wear down your will.
While Lu Bai was walking around looking at flowers and thinking aimlessly, there was a faint sound of singing coming from the north.
Lu Bai followed the sound and saw no one. He only heard the long and thin tune of the opera, which had the charm of Jiangnan.
When the boat passed a corner, Lu Bai saw a stage facing the Qinhuai River. On the stage, singers and opera singers appeared on stage, and people gathered below, forming a large crowd. From time to time, cheers could be heard.
There are also quite a few floating boats in this area, and the guests on them enjoy the fragrance, drink tea and watch the theatre, and are very happy.
Lu Bai listened for a while and said in amazement: "This opera singer is quite good."
The disciple who was standing next to Daqian heard this and said: "This is the Mo family singing a hall opera. For ten days in a row, they invited young famous actors from all over the place. Not only famous actors from the Southern Dynasty, but also from the Northern Dynasty came."
"Really?" Lu Bai was surprised.
This capital city deserves to be called a capital city. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he encountered such a grand event.
The disciple nodded, "This Mo family's opera is the most famous in the troupe industry. After these ten days, there will be a competition. If you are ranked among the best, you will not only be famous, but also have the opportunity to enter the troupe of the cultivating sect. Therefore, many people will take it in order to practice.
It shows a lifetime of skills and unique skills.”
Lu Bai suddenly realized.
As one of the four great aristocratic families, the Mo family was very familiar to Lu Bai. After all, Wanger's surname was Mo.
The spiritual sect behind the Mo family is Liyuan, a sect that uses drama as a way of spiritual practice. It is very special. Although they are not top-notch among the spiritual sects, due to the wide spread of opera, they have a strong voice in the world, thus creating Mo Mo.
One of the four great aristocratic families.
The Liyuan profession has always been called an actor, and the status is not very high. This has also led to the fact that rich and powerful disciples rarely choose Liyuan to practice, so the Liyuan method of selecting disciples has emerged.
"I'll pay you a visit another day," Lu Bai said.
He particularly wanted to know what the Mo family thought of the play "The God of Whip".
How could the Mo family, which had a pivotal position in the world of secular pear gardens, allow his disciples to become clowns there?
Lu Bai had just received news of his visit, but he didn't expect to meet the disciple of the Mo family - Mo Wenquan very soon.
Of course, the two of them didn't know each other.
As one of the few river houses on the Qinhuai River, the wine house has its own pier, which is right next to the pier of the Qinjia river house.
When Lu Bai's boat stopped at the Jiulu Pier, Mo Wenquan and Chen Xigang got off the boat.
After they saw him, they looked at each other, stood on the pier, and looked curiously at the pier of the wine house.
They often come to the Qinjia River House, and over time they become more and more curious about the family's wine shop. This family's food is tasteful, and the food and clothing they use are not only good and expensive, but also very exquisite and fastidious.
Very elegant.
For example, the piano, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the flowers and plants taken care of, ordinary people cannot imagine such an elegant life.
Mo Wenquan and Chen Xiren came from aristocratic families, and sometimes they had to admire the exquisite life of this family.
Not to mention, Mo Wenquan was still thinking about the young lady at the wine house, so he was very curious about the owner of the wine house.
It's just that after visiting this tavern for more than a month, the people inside stayed behind closed doors. Even when they came out, they were in a hurry and rarely talked to outsiders, so Mo Wenquan learned very little information.
The only thing Mo Wenquan knew was that the young lady was not in charge.
The arrangements they have made these days are just waiting for the arrival of the real owner of the wine house.
This made Mo Wenquan even more curious.
He wanted to see who this master was.
The boat stopped quickly.
A young man walked out first, with a masculine look between his eyebrows. Different from the elegance of Jiangnan scholars, this man's temperament was a bit wild, not so gentle, and he looked a bit aggressive.
Not much to mess with.
But the strange thing is that he has a bit of fairy spirit.
This fairy spirit can be seen from his dress. He only wore a thin silk coat in the winter, and his hair was tied up casually, with the hairband fluttering in the wind from time to time.
Then there is the leisurely stroll and confidence in his movements that can cross mountains and rivers in one step, which makes people think that he is very extraordinary.
"This person -" Chen Xi listened for a long time and shook his head, "I can't see through it."
Mo Wenquan also murmured in his heart.
He had seen a person with such a temperament, but he had only seen it once. When he entered the Liyuan Mountain Gate as a disciple of the Mo family, he had seen the head of the Liyuan from a distance. He had such an immortal look on him.
However, while the leader had a childish face and a white hair, Lu Bai was young, which made Mo Wenquan not believe that they were from the same family.
Lu Bai felt their gazes.
He raised his head and saw two young men looking at him on the dock next to him. He nodded to them and then entered the wine house surrounded by his disciples.
Mo Wenquan and the others stood on the pier. After watching Lu Bai leave, they saw people coming in and out of the boat. There were no dignitaries anymore. They felt very strange, "Could it be that the young master just now is the owner of the wine house?"
This is a bit too young.
Perhaps, this young master is a disciple of a certain family?
Just when they thought of this possibility, they saw the last few ships docking. Jin Yiwei led a group of students ashore, walked around the wine house and headed towards the Gongyuan not far away.
The two young masters were stunned, "What do you mean by wearing these clothes and having a candidate who is rushing to take the exam?"
When the two of them were suspicious of the owner of the wine house, they saw several eunuchs coming ashore from the boat.
Eunuch Zuo Qing was very angry.
This Lu Bai was too special. When they passed by a larger pier that was closer to the palace, he actually refused to let them ashore. Instead, he let them ashore only after they arrived at his own pier. This was too disrespectful of treating their father-in-law from the West Factory as a human being.
Something's happened.
After he returns, he must make a strong complaint to the owner of the West Factory.
At this moment, the angry Eunuch Zuo Qing saw Mo Wenquan and Chen Xi on the dock next to them.
He knows these two young men.
After all, being an eunuch relies on being well-rounded, and these young men from aristocratic families are the easiest to coax, so eunuchs generally know these young men and ask them questions on weekdays, so as to make some investments for the future.
If you have more friends, you still have a long way to go.
When Eunuch Zuo Qing saw them looking this way, he hurriedly approached and held his hands across the water some distance away. "The Za family has met Mr. Mo and Mr. Chen."
Of course Mo Wenquan and Chen Xi didn't remember Zuo Qing.
The eunuch who was assigned to Yancheng as a supervisor was not worth remembering. Fortunately, the eunuchs had a unified title: "Father-in-law, why are you on this ship? The master of this wine house -"
Eunuch Zuo Qing's teeth started to itch when he mentioned this, but he still hid his emotions very well, "This is the boat belonging to Qianhu Lu Qianhu in Yancheng. The Zajia family used to work in Yancheng, but now they have something to do when they come back, so they took a ride."
Boat--"
Mo Wenquan and Chen Xi didn't care about what happened next.
They looked at each other in surprise, "Lu Bai!"
It turned out to be this master.
This master is not seen in the capital now, only his voice is heard, and he is famous throughout the capital.
There are many legends about him circulating in the market, that is, Mo Wenquan and his family, as well as the Liyuanxing disciples who select talents in Mojiatang opera, cannot do without Lu Bai when talking about spiritual practice, so that Mo Wen
Quan and the others are almost getting calluses on their ears.
"He is Lu Bai!" Mo Wenquan felt that this was an easy explanation. It made sense that this Nanzhen governor was said to be in the Xiaoyao realm, and that he had an air of immortality in his movements.
only--
This Lu Bai also has two arms, two legs, a mouth, and two ears. Why is he so evil?
Yes, monster!
Lu Bai's practice can no longer be described as a genius, but can only be described as a monster.
Now, not only practitioners, but also ordinary people know that there was a monster like Lu Bai in the Southern Dynasty. His cultivation speed far exceeded the expectations of the world, and he had already reached the level of miracles.
Eunuch Zuo Qing saw the two of them standing there dumbfounded, and said something again, but received no response, so he could only say goodbye.
"I didn't expect that the owner of this wine house is Lu Bai." After a long time, Mo Wenquan came back to his senses and said.
Chen Xi also nodded.
They had been guessing for more than a month, but they never expected that the owner of this wine house would be Lu Bai.
It's not their fault.
Because of Lu Bai's fame, almost everyone now knows that Lu Bai was born in a humble age and grew up from a yamen servant to the current governor of Nanzhen. Therefore, it is difficult for them to associate the elegant life in the wine house with Lu Bai in the northwest.
Together.
But thinking about it now, they felt that they should have thought it was Lu Bai.
Behind Lu Bai was Gu Qinghuan.
Miss Gu Si is well-known in Beijing, but in terms of quality of life, she is beyond their reach.
The peach blossom paper that Miss Gu Si used at the time is still considered the most elegant way to write by the young lady in the boudoir.
only--
Chen Xi was confused, "Why don't you see Miss Gu Si?"
Mo Wenquan shook his head in confusion.
The news they received was that Miss Gu Si was also returning to the capital. Is the news wrong?
Also a possibility.
I heard that Lu Bai and others stayed in Stone City for more than a month. It was normal for Miss Gu Si to stay in Stone City. This capital was a very embarrassing place for her.
After all, she is equivalent to a dead person entering the city, who knows how much noise she will cause.
Speaking of which, there is one person Mo Wenquan has not met yet, and that is Mo Wang'er.
Mo Wanger is a descendant of their Mo family, and Mo Wenquan still wants to see her.
"I can only ask more slowly in the future." Mo Wenquan thought to himself.
The boat at the wine house had also docked and everyone had disembarked. Seeing nothing to see, Mo Wenquan and Chen Xi entered the Qinlou River Room.
Du Xiaoxiao must have just woken up and was tuning the piano out of boredom.
When she saw Chen Xi and Mo Wenquan coming in, she stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Master Mo, Mr. Chen, why do you have time to come to my place? The Mo family's show is the highlight now, and many people are attracted to it.
"
The maid brought tea and snacks, and Du Xiaoxiao came over and poured them for them personally.
She wore a loose robe, and while making tea, she leaned slightly over her lips without revealing anything, which was the highest level of seduction.
"It's only the first day, so there aren't any good ideas," Mo Wenquan said.
The finale is all at the back.
Mo Wenquan's elder brother Mo Wenqiu was an opera addict. He babbling and singing all day long, which made Mo Wenquan's taste in acting so much higher that he looked down on ordinary actors.
"Yes." Du Xiaoxiao nodded, "This is just the beginning. The highlight will be the last day."
At that time, the disciples of Liyuanxing will also come on stage to sing, and that will be an eye-opening time.
These practicing disciples sing opera, which is different from ordinary people who practice pear garden.
They are good at puppetry, string pulling, disguise, and clone. They are also very good at setting up illusions. When they perform, the audience will be immersed in the scene, which is incredible.
Mo Wenquan nodded proudly. This show in the Mo family was, to put it bluntly, a masterpiece.
Just as he was about to speak, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Shen Yan and Lin Shengwen ran in. The maid lifted the curtain and had no time to salute. After running in, the two of them saw Mo Wenquan and the two of them, and said with a smile, "Okay.
, I thought the two of us were well-informed, but I didn’t expect you to be better-informed and come here to take up space early.”
Mo Wenquan was puzzled, "What's the news? Zhan'er, why can't we understand it?"
"Miss Gu Si, aren't you here to look after Miss Gu Si?" Shen Yan told them to stop pretending, "This is the best place to see the wine house. Don't tell me that you two are here to drink tea.
"
Chen Xi was very innocent, "We just wanted to drink tea, but - Miss Gu Si came to the capital?"
"Here we come! When we first entered the city, we were announced to the palace by the Queen Mother." Lin Shengwen sat down, "You really don't know? I just got the news that the owner of this wine house is Lu Zhen Fushi, Miss Gu Si
After leaving the palace and returning home, get off the car in front of that door. Do you think this place is a Feng Shui treasure?"
Chen Xi was convinced, "What about you?"
"As for, why not? That's Miss Gu Si. Even in the past ten years, her legend is still circulating everywhere in the capital." Shen Yan said excitedly, "I could only hear about it in dramas before, but now I can finally see it.
You are so pretty, how can you not be excited?"
"Yes, yes, if Miss Gu Si continues to analyze the imperial examination questions and hold poetry gatherings like before, she may discover many talented people and beauties, and spread an elegant legend." Lin Shengwen looked yearning.
