Li Jilan put on a little bit of lipstick, then wiped it off after thinking about it, changed her makeup to a plain one, and straightened her face to make herself look more serious.

She has to arrange for a group of actors to rehearse a play today, and they have to hold the scene together.

"Ji Lanzi, are you okay?" Li Tengkong asked outside the door. He was irritated by waiting for too long and could no longer follow the natural way.

"Here we come." Li Jilan opened the door, naturally took Li Tengkong's hand and hurried out together.

 When she walked out of the backyard, she remembered that she was a female crown and couldn't walk like this.

“Oh, I forgot to take the whisk.”

 “It’s too late, let’s go.”

Today we are going to Xue Bai's new house, which makes people a little excited for no reason.

How can I describe this feeling? It’s like going deep into a famous mountain to visit the abode of gods... Youxian Cave?

Li Jilan quickly shook his head to dispel this unwarranted association.

ˆNX

Xue Bai's new residence is located in the west of Xuanyangfang, just across the street from Mrs. Guo's Mansion. Its area is a quarter of that of Mrs. Guo's Mansion. It can be said to be luxurious and spacious.

  Lately, I have been helping to keep an eye on the repairs. Let me show you around."

Du Wulang led everyone in the Xue family through the first courtyard gate, pointing as he walked.

“This house is much bigger than Du’s house. It’s best to give the yard some names... Auntie?

 After a long time, he turned around and found that only Xue Sanniang was left behind.

She has had good nutrition in recent years and has gradually grown into a tall and graceful girl. Du Wulang feels a little embarrassed every time he looks at her.

 “Where are Xue Bai and the others?”

 Sixth brother has just turned to the big courtyard over there to watch the singing. "

Then he didn’t even say a word to me." Du Wulang turned around unnaturally.

“Sixth brother can’t bear to interrupt Wulang.”

Everyone saw something new along the way, and no one listened to what Du Wulang said, so they all fell behind. Xue Sanniang felt embarrassed for him, but she didn't want to lose his face, so she had to follow silently.

Du Wulang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said somewhat angrily: "There seem to be mandarin ducks on the pool over there. Do you want to take a look?"

 “Won’t Wulang go and watch the singing? There are so many beauties.”

“Ah, me, I’m tired of looking at beauties. I just like to look at flowers, birds, fish and insects.”

“If there are mandarin ducks in winter.” Xue Sanniang lowered her head and whispered: “Then, you can take a look.

 “Ah, okay, okay.”

Du Wulang took advantage of Xue Sanniang's lack of attention and patted his head hard, cursing in his mind why he said such useless and stupid words like "I'm tired of looking at beauties" OX

“In the past, Mr. Lao came to Yuzhen Temple as a guest, but today it is rare to come to Mr. Lao’s home. Mr. Lao welcomed me.”

When Li Jilan arrived at Xue's house, he opened the car curtain and saw Xue Bai coming to greet him. He was so happy that he immediately smiled and said sweetly.

Li Tengkong was not as promising as her. He pretended to be an expert and said with a sense of ridicule: "Come and rehearse for him, that's why he will be so diligent."

“Tengkongzi understands me.” Xue Bai answered casually and said, “I just arrived and I haven’t fully walked around here yet.”

 He led them inside.

Li Tengkong is actually very tasteful. He looked around and praised: "Your house is really well-organized and elegantly decorated. The entire volume is 520.????"

Xue Bai said: "It was arranged by the right prime minister, thank you for taking the trouble."

Li Tengkong didn't know how to answer this, so he muttered in a low voice: "Then you guys have been on good terms lately."

The three of them lost their way and walked straight to the small pond in the back garden. They bumped into Du Wulang and Xue Sanniang who were looking at the snow scene. They asked for directions and then went around to the courtyard where the show was auditioned.

From a distance, you can hear sweet music and smell the fragrant wind. When you pass through a courtyard gate, you can see a cloud of beauties. Some people are clearing their throats and some are twisting their waists, which makes people dazzled.

There are many beauties in Yuzhen Temple, but most of them are dressed plainly, far from the gorgeous and colorful ones here.

Li Jilan was speechless at the sight, and couldn't help but whisper: "The courtyard is full of beauties, is this what a man wants?"

Xue Ri waved his hand and said calmly: "It's far worse than the Liyuan."

This sentence seems a bit rebellious, but it depends on how you interpret it. If Xue Bai didn't want to take these beauties as his own and just talked about art, then this place is indeed far inferior to Liyuan.

 Li Tengkong knew his nature and couldn't help but nodded approvingly.

 She has a Taoist heart and does not want to compare with these beauties. Instead, she pays attention to a few musicians who are practicing their music.

"The skills are so superb." She sighed with emotion: "Compared with this, how dare we give them advice with our little ability?"

Xue Ri said: "It's okay, there are three cobblers, but Zhuge Liang is the best.

one

His words were quite fresh, which made the two girls feel funny and a little annoyed at the same time. This natural expression of girlish attitude was more touching than the deliberate coquettishness of the beauties next to them.

 The three of them walked into the hall and finally talked about the business of the drama.

"I have decided on Pang Sanniang as the candidate for Mrs. Cui." Xue Bai said: "She has the right age and appearance, and she is pursuing performance. She can play both the niece and the aunt. You will know when you meet her later; as for Cui Yingying and the matchmaker Among the candidates... there is a singer named Nian Nu who should be the most outstanding. I think she is good, but it is up to you to deny her. After all, I can't tell the difference in singing skills. The other candidate is Zhang Sheng. I will discuss it tomorrow. Go to the Jiaofang to pick."

From this we can see that although Nian Nu’s appearance and singing skills were good, they were not as impressive to Xue Bai as Pang Sanniang’s ambition.

 And then make him directly determined.

Li Tengkong said: "We have an idea about Zhang Sheng's candidate... What do you think, Hezheng County Lord?"

"Her?" Xue Bai subconsciously wanted to refuse when he heard this, and said, "How can a woman pretend to be Zhang Sheng?"

"She is very good at dressing up as a man. She is both heroic and gentle at the same time. She fits our impression of Zhang Sheng. You will know it as soon as you see her." Li Jilan said.

“Can you sing? This play is not easy to sing.”

“How can a saint’s granddaughter not know how to sing?”

Xue Bai is still a little reluctant, thinking that if Li Yue refuses to behave well and deliberately loses, marrying him will be very troublesome.

Li Tengkong knew what he was thinking and said: "She said that she would try her best to help Xue Lang win the bet. Her character should be trustworthy. "Let's make comparisons after we select a group of people."

"good."

Xue Bai did not agree immediately, but he already thought that if he really let Li Yue sing, Li Longji would lose honorably.

“Then I’ll thank you for your hard work.” Xue Bai said, “I’ll go meet the two brothers from the Yan family.”

 “Can you bring Miss Yan San here?”

“No, I’m afraid it’ll be too noisy here and make her anxious. I’ll bring her here to play when things get sorted out later.”

 “It’s okay, I can’t think it through for you. Search xs520.co”

  ….

 In terms of diction, Li Jilan is better than Li Tengkong; but in terms of rhythm, Li Tengkong is slightly better.

 Therefore, Li Tengkong took the lead in casting, arranging music, exploring singing methods, etc., with Li Jilan assisting.

She listened to all the singers sing it once, and without hesitation, she directly decided that Nian Nu would sing Cui Yingying. As for the choice of matchmaker, she was a little hesitant.

 “How is Fan Girl?“

 “A little too charming.””

Li Jilan nodded, feeling a little wary of Fan Nu. She had just seen Fan Nu move closer to Xue Bai when he went out, and intentionally or unintentionally put her plump and proud part on his arm. At this time, she deliberately asked, seeing Li Tengkong

She had no intention of being a model girl, so she felt at ease and stopped talking.

“Are you two gentlemen here? I made some ginger soup to ward off the cold.”

Li Tengkong turned around and looked for a moment before he recognized it. It was Fan Nu, but she had washed off all her makeup and changed into a double-ringed bun. This was because before the results came out, he realized that there was no hope of playing Cui Yingying, so he wanted to play matchmaker instead.

....so progressive.

After serving ginger soup for Erli to drink, Fan asked, "May I ask these two masters what they think of Nu's singing skills?"

“Good, very good, and her figure is good.” Li Tengkong quickly took a look at her figure, but he was not very envious.

Fan Nu’s eyes brightened and she asked, “I wonder if I can play matchmaker?”

Li Tengkong said: "I will announce the result in public. In addition, I will select two more groups of people to rehearse three teams, one leader, two assistants, in case of emergency. You don't have to worry."

Fan Nu put away the bowl and asked casually: "I would like to ask for advice from the real person, what are the shortcomings of the slave family?"

“You have both talent and appearance, but your temperament is not like that of a matchmaker.”

"Yes." Fan Nu lowered her head in response, but when she was about to turn around, she said too much: "The slave family saw that Teng Kongzi and Xue Lang were a good match, so I took the liberty to ask, I don't know...

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Tengkong interrupted quickly, but he was not very angry in his heart.

 However, when she looked at it again, she suddenly felt that Fan Nu's temperament really resembled the matchmaker in her heart.

  OA

 “The season is prosperous, the future is bright, and the love is full..

At dusk, there was singing in Xue's house in Xuanyangfang, with a bit of drama, melodious, and quite innovative.

From then on, there were music and music here every day, like a small pear orchard.

Those who stared at Xue Bai and saw the actor coming in and out of Xue Bai's house couldn't help but comment in their hearts that he was indeed the sage's favored minister, just like the sage."

Xue Bai still lives in Xue's house in Changshoufang. He spends most of his time studying literature and martial arts, learning the six arts of a gentleman from the Yan family brothers.

He felt that Yan Quanming seemed a bit lustful, and Yan Quanming always asked him why he didn't go to Xuanyangfang to see beauties.

"There will always be no shortage of beauties in the future, but the two brothers are about to return to Hebei."

  Yes." Yan Quanming said, "This trip to Beijing to report on work has been long enough...

 NA

In this peaceful atmosphere, Xue Bai was actually quietly paying attention to the situation in the court. He did not go to see Wang Zhongsi again, but went to Yuanzhai after Yuan Zai moved to his new residence.

Yuan Zai was very enthusiastic. He saw Xue Bai sitting down in the back hall and was full of praise.

“Xue Lang is so kind, my father-in-law’s situation seems to be much worse.”

“Brother Yuan, are you scolding me?”

 “I wish I could kowtow to Xue Lang three times.”

 Nearly Zhu is red, and Yuan Zai now has a bit more of Yang Zhao's slickness. Fortunately, his early poverty experience made him quite deep, which covered up this slickness.

"Rectifying the church cannot be without cost. Nowadays, the public sentiment in the court is raging. There are many memorials to impeach my father-in-law. Even those who were originally friendly with him and close to the East Palace have expressed their dissatisfaction. The saint obviously intends to let my father-in-law bear the consequences.

"

Yuan Zai said with a smile on his face, not only happy for Wang Zhongsi, but also happy that Yang Dang could win over Wang Zhongsi.

He stood up, poured a cup of fruit juice for Xue Bai with his own hands, and said:

“As Xue Lang wished, my father-in-law has shown signs of becoming a lonely minister... In addition, I heard that Ge Shuhan, An Sishun and others are returning to the court.”

Xue Bai came over to hear this news from him and asked: "What is the relationship between General Wang and these generals?"

"They may not have a good relationship in private, but they all admire my father-in-law very much." Yuan Zai said: "Even Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing from Anxi, who doesn't admire my father-in-law's military exploits?"

"Don't wait for them to return to the court. The nights will be long and the dreams will be many." Xue Bai said, "Add fuel to the fire."

 "Don't worry, I understand."

While the two were talking, Wang Xiu arranged for more than ten maidservants to come in with dishes... This ostentation showed that Yuan Zai was now wealthy.

"Come, try your sister-in-law's cooking. This is your favorite braised mutton." Yuan Zai became more and more attentive, and he really asked about Xue Bai's taste, "There is also this soup, which has been stewed for two days.

hours."

 “Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law.“

 “It’s Xue Lang who’s here after all.” Wang Xiu’s smile was not as bold as usual, a little unnatural.

But Xue Bai knew at a glance that she didn't have such cooking skills and must have bought the dishes from a restaurant. Yuan Zai actually didn't need to pretend to be so close to her.

Of course, his official position is low now. If he slowly learns from Yang Zhao, he will no longer have any flaws in his flattery in the future.

 NA

Several vegetarian dishes were placed on the table. The maid came up to taste them first, and then Li Linfu took the chopsticks.

At this time, Cang Bi hurried over and said: "Alang, there is a message from the Yushitai. Instead of asking for forgiveness, the loyal heir not only did not plead guilty, but also gave a confession... and accused others of being guilty.

"This is adding fuel to the fire." Li Linfu thought for a while and said to himself: "In the past, I was stubborn and stubborn towards the saints and refused to attack Shibao City, but now I can't deal with the officials."

 He put down his chopsticks and ordered, "I will come to the palace again."

 “Alang, you haven’t eaten yet, how can you eat less and do more things every day...

 “It’s too late for the weather, so prepare to drive quietly.”

 “Here.“

Meeting such a diligent master in state affairs, Cang Bi was helpless and hurriedly prepared.

 When Li Linfu came back, the first thing he did was to recruit troops to pass Anlu Mountain.

"deal."

When An Lushan heard these two words, his little eyes seemed to light up, he was so excited.

Li Linfu said: "The sage has decided to dismiss Wang Zhongsi from the post of military governor of Hexi and Longxi. There will be an imperial edict from Zhongshu Province tomorrow."

 “Right Prime Minister, what next?”

“You go back to Fanyang first,” Li Linfu said.

"What?" An Lushan was surprised, "Where are Shuofang and Hedong towns?"

"The river and the river have been decided first, and the rest can be considered by the sage slowly, not too quickly, and you have already stayed too long."

"But...Wang Zhongsi is planning to rebel! In the third year of Tianbao's reign, when he was attacking the Turks, he secretly contacted the three tribes of Bashmi, Geluolu and Hui to plan to help the prince raise an army." An Lushan screamed strangely,

"That's why he bit back at Hu Er and had different intentions...

"Sages know all these things, so what's the use of talking about them?" Li Linfu had more to do, so he said impatiently: "He also accused you, can the saints deal with you?"

 “Hu’er is loyal, but he has evil intentions.”

An Lushan's face was full of grievance, his little eyes rolled around, and he said: "Brother Shuhan, An Sishun and others all respect Wang Zhongsi. As long as he still has one town in hand, he is equivalent to commanding four towns.

How does the Right Prime Minister control the river and Long?"

“I have my own sense of propriety.” Li Linfu did not need to be reminded, “After all, he is the adopted son of a saint, and he has a nurturing relationship.

 Take your time, haste makes waste.

An Lushan had no choice but to look at the chair and stand up to say goodbye.

He never expected that the result this time would be that Wang Zhongsi would be able to save the two towns, and it would be in vain for him to hold on for so long.

This time I went to Chang'an, and the harvest was much less than expected. Looking back, every setback has the shadow of that person.

 “My uncle doesn’t keep his words.”

Back at the mansion, An Lushan's expression changed little by little from the moment he entered the gate. From the beginning, which was harmless to humans and animals, silly and funny, he gradually turned into a cruel and vicious one. When he walked into the lobby, his whole face was full of color.

Already angry.

Li Zhu'er hurried up to meet him, trying to push up An Lushan's belly as usual so that the maids could untie his belt. Before An Lushan came back, he was teased a few times by them, praising him for getting more and more handsome as he grew older.

Although they had restrained themselves at this time, there was still a residual smile in the corners of their eyes.

The lights in the hall were very bright, and everything was clearly visible. Li Zhuer squatted down and put his head on An Lushan's belly. Suddenly, he was pushed from behind and fell forward.

 “The villain knows his mistakes.

Li Zhuer quickly admitted his mistake and wanted to kneel down, but An Lushan stepped on his face, causing severe pain.

"do not move!"

An Lushan cursed a few words in Sogdian and was very rough. He slowly squatted down, grabbed Li Zhuer's belt, and pulled it away.

Li Zhuer was so frightened that he really didn't dare to move anymore. He trembled and let An Lushan's fat hand pinch his lower body... Then, with a sound of "", An Lushan pulled out the dagger from his waist,

He cut it off with a knife, still cursing fiercely.

"Don't!"

 Amidst the screams, Li Zhuer was in shock and pain. Unable to bear the pain, Li Zhuer fainted.

An Lushan finally vented his anger, looked up, took out the incense ashes from the incense burner, and sprinkled it on Li Zhuer's wound to stop the bleeding.

 It doesn’t matter, just bear with it.”

An Lushan whispered, the cruelty on his face dissipated, and murmured to himself: "Be patient, a gentleman will take revenge, it will not be too late in ten years..."

ˆˆNN

 The next day, before the news of Wang Zhongsi's dismissal from the two towns spread, An Lushan had already left to Li Longji.

The first thing he did after leaving the palace was to say goodbye to the Yang brothers and sisters and Xue Bai, reluctant to leave.

“Oh? Hu’er is going back to Fanyang?”

"If it weren't for those Xi people, the Turks would always invade. Hu'er really wanted to stay in Chang'an for a long time. He really couldn't bear to leave his uncle. It would be great if he could stay with him every day."

Xue Bai said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you take good care of yourself, we can always meet again."

“That’s great, uncle, I have to wait for Hu’er.”

An Lushan clapped his hands and laughed, looking so naive.

He was not in a hurry, because no matter how many little envoys Xue Bai changed his holy will, he could not stop the saint from getting older and older. The saint's suspicion of Wang Zhongsi would only become more and more serious, and it was impossible for Wang Zhongsi to block Hedong all the time.

.

Then, sooner or later, it will be as easy for him to pinch Xue Bai as it is to pinch Li Zhuer.

Xue Bai seemed to be amused by An Lushan, and his expression became more and more calm.

 He could hear the deep hatred hidden in An Lushan's words.

 But he is not in a hurry. Changes in the world always start little by little. What is needed most is patience, and he is still very young. This is his greatest asset.
