Chapter 149

In recent months, in addition to daily training, Xie Ying also arranged for people to take turns on the street, and she often inspected until the second and third shifts. Cui Xie didn't want to disturb his official business, so he went home after school, changed his clothes, and took a carriage to Xie's house to wait for him.

After spending a whole night in the living room, Xie Ying came back from the outside, and got off the horse in a hurry, and went to the living room to see him without even changing his clothes.

Cui Xie smiled and cupped his hands: "Mr. Xie, please forgive me for disturbing you. Today I'm here to ask for a few jars of fine wine."

Xie Ying took off his hat and threw it to the servant, and told the servants to go down and prepare tea and dinner. After sending the whole room away, he walked up to him and asked, "Why do you come to my house in the middle of the night? If you want wine, just write a post and I will have someone deliver it to you, so why don't you come to the door in person? ."

If I don't come to the door in person, is there still a chance to meet and talk

He grabbed Xie Ying's belt and pulled it down, trying to tell him to sit on his lap and talk slowly.

It's a pity that Xie Ying didn't sit down, so Cui Xie had to stand up, wrapped around Xie Ying's waist, felt the sensation with his palm, "Tsk tsk" and said, "I've lost weight. These days are exhausting you, look at your skinny waist. Limbs, reduce the romantic, how can I not feel distressed."

After reading books with Hanlin for a few days, I have become very promising, and I have learned to write lyrics to tease people? Xie Ying laughed so much that his abdominal muscles trembled, he grabbed the man off his body by pressing his shoulder, pinched his cheeks and said, "I think you are studying with a bachelor in peace these days, so I'm going to get rid of this thought. Next time, if I see Li Xueshi outside the Hanyuan, I have to sue you and tell him to keep you in check, so that you don’t study hard and write some lewd poetry in private.”

Cui Xie grabbed his hand and pulled it out. He smiled and said, "What kind of lewd poetry is this? This is written by Yang Ting and Yang Xianjian. It is the lyrics of a serious drama of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety."

Xie Ying lowered her head and kissed the tip of his nose, just as she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly narrowed, she let go of his cheeks, looked up at him, and said in surprise, "You've grown so tall? Remember the last time I saw you outside Guoxue, you were still so much lower than me, and it's only been a few days since you didn't see me, so you're as tall as me?"

Cui Xie smiled smugly, took off his head scarf, and said, "Almost, I'm growing fast, maybe I'll be taller than you in two days."

Xie Ying took two steps back and looked at him from head to toe. Seeing that his body has only grown taller, the flesh on his shoulders has not grown thick, and he seems to be thinner than before he was pulled out, so he felt a little distressed: "Anyway, it's already this time, accompany me to eat something at night before leaving. Don't worry about the night ban, I'll take you home myself."

Cui Xie dangled his clothes in front of him for a long time. After showing off enough, he sat back on the chair, took off his boots, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not that I suddenly grew taller, it's that the soles of these boots are different... You don't have to leave that Far away, I spilled talcum powder in my shoes, and it didn't smell."

This talcum powder is made of talcum powder and menthol and other spices. It is sprinkled on shoes to absorb sweat, not the flesh-colored sweat powder mixed with silver vermillion. He asked someone to make a height-enhancing insole. A few days ago, he was afraid that his classmates would see a joke, so he didn't dare to wear it openly.

The insole was cut out of wood for his feet, with cotton pads and cowhide wrapped on top, and it was soft and breathable. Xie Ying didn't despise him either. He took it over and looked at it, and compared it to his own feet. He smiled and said, "Why do you make such an insole, it's uncomfortable to step on it, so it's better to do it directly. High-soled shoes."

Where can high-soled shoes go, such a high upper, when exposed, people will think that your legs are short.

He showed Xie Ying the boots, and said proudly: "Look at the mouth of the boots - they look shriveled, just like ordinary thin-soled boots, the back of which is quietly raised in the boot. No one else can see it. , I just thought that you were born tall, handsome, and extraordinary!"

Xie Ying shook his head with a smile, stuffed the booster pad back, and helped him put on his boots again: "You are not short now, and your stature has not grown up. With your frame, wait until eighteen or nineteen. Just as tall as me, you can be tall and handsome without these shoes."

Cui Xie sat in the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and said energetically, "I really don't want to wear these shoes. They were specially made for Xie Qianhu."

Xie Ying glanced at the soles of his shoes and pursed her lips slightly.

Cui Xie raised his eyebrows and said shyly, "It's not for you, Brother Xie, it's for other Xie Qianhu - who said that there is only one person in the world who leads Jinyiwei to sweep away the gangsters and gangsters in the capital, and protect the peace and stability of the capital of Ming Dynasty. Thank you Qianhu?"

When Xie Yingchu heard "Other Xie Qianhu", he really believed that he was making something for others again. Hearing the series of compliments, he felt relieved, leaning on the armrest by his side and asked him with a smile. : "Which Xie Qianhu is that, why haven't I heard of it?"

Cui Xie said: "Isn't it Xie Qianhu, who has the common people in his heart and has unparalleled wisdom, and led Jinyiwei to capture black-robed thieves at night?"

Xie's family came in with tea, just when they heard him say "thief in black", they laughed, "Young Master Cui has also heard about the case of thief in black? Sure enough, such a case is easy to become famous, and now there are people who speak outside. Speaking of it, Wang Sanniang, who was arrested by the teacher and the black-clothed thief, was frightened and embarrassed. After a few days, she left this line of work and got married. However, the little one felt that the Liuying headless case was more serious. Thrilling, we led a thousand households to drain a pond of water to find the lost head, and finally found out that their cook did it."

Cui Xie said with emotion: "There is no way, everyone in this world has a desire for beauty. I heard that a beautiful woman was involved, so I went to talk about beautiful women. Who cares about your hard work in investigating the case."

He seems to have forgotten how he tried so hard to add drama to the heroine when he wrote the outline, and almost wrote the criminal as a character who only appeared in the lines.

The family also sighed: "That's not it, other things in Beijing are not popular, and these obscene words are the fastest. Now, what can be compared with the black-clothed robbery case is that Liu Gongzi was drunk with prostitutes in the Peony Pavilion. There is also a musician who wrote this thing into a tune, and now the more and more tunes are filled in, I am afraid it can be arranged into a drama."

how! Someone actually robbed them of Xie Qianhu's limelight? A drunkard Liu Gongzi with prostitutes is comparable to them patrolling the capital day and night, catching robbers, and returning them to Xie Qianhu, who presided over the marriage of the heroine!

Cui Xie's face darkened slightly, and he snorted lightly: "This kind of drama is just a trivial thing even if it is written. Which of the good people would like to watch it. To see it, we have to thank Qianhu for being so positive and teaching people to be loyal and righteous. of!"

The family nodded again and again: "Young master is right. It's a pity that there is no one who knows heroes to make up a few scenes for our thousands of households to decide the case. It's not worse than Bao Gong!"

Who says no one knows heroes? Isn't this just one sitting

After the family went down, Cui Xie also took some chopsticks and dishes to accompany Xie Ying, and then lit the plate with the tip of the chopsticks, and said to him casually, "There are people who know heroes in the world, so Young Master Liu will be romantic with prostitutes. No matter what, only a musician wrote the music for him. Xie Qianhu, who established himself as a public servant and enforced the law for the people, wrote the academy book, but Yang Xiejun of the Hanlin Academy, who changed the words, was Wang Xieliang Zhuangyuan, who presided over the meeting. It's the tutor Li..."

Xie Ying dropped the dishes on the tip of his chopsticks, and looked at him blankly: "What... Yuanben? You, what you said before..."

No wonder Cui Xie said that the dark height-enhancing insole was not for him, and repeatedly said that there was something else, Xie Qianhu... Dare to ask the teacher's favor and write the hospital book for himself? Those boots were for him in the play

Xie Ying simply threw the chopsticks away, grabbed Cui Xie's hand and asked, "What's going on? How did those Qing and noble Hanlins willing to write about the Jinyi Guards, did you ask them? Your teacher, will they be because of you? Writing a drama with my friend to beautify Jin Yiwei and look down on you?"

Those Qinggui Hanlin did not like to write about Jinyiwei, but they liked to write about the righteous husband and the wife.

Cui Xie smiled: "What's wrong with Master Xie, why would I write a play to beautify you because of my friendship?" He suddenly leaned over and placed a kiss on Xie Ying's lips, and said in a low voice, "We don't count this. Friendship, is it a private affair?"

Xie Ying heard his breath, and his heart beat a little faster, and in turn kissed him, wet the dry lips of the two, rubbed his hand and said, "You know it's an affair, how can you make it out? This kind of thing makes people guess?"

"Then you should treat it not as an affair, but because of my public heart. Let's praise the new style of today's court." Cui Xie said with a smile, "That hospital was not written by me, but a masterpiece by Yang Censorship. The things that have been tried are originally made for the public. Xie brother, you don't have to be too careful, let people know if it's a big deal, and there is no reason in the world that you are not allowed to take scientific examinations because of your good masculinity. "

Xie Ying frowned slightly, and Cui Xie stretched out his hand to rub the tensed muscles between his brows, and said confidently: "Master Yang wrote all the words praising loyalty, filial piety, and I can't see my selfishness at all. They also agreed to wait. The show is coming to see the teacher's house, and in the future, the hospital will be printed out and sold to the Quartet. What are you afraid of with such an upright book? Brother Xie, don't worry about this show, let's see if there is enough wine at home, hurry up Ask someone to prepare a car for me, and I will take it home, ready to serve the teacher."

He would like to want future bigwigs to come to his house to watch the play, but unfortunately, they don't have enough identities. A group of Hanlins who don't go to Cui Ju are almost exiled to Yunnan people's homes to cheer. Only a banquet at Li Dongyang's house is the most suitable.

Xie Ying first asked someone to remove the wine, and personally escorted him home. After returning to his own home, he could put aside those worries and think about the matter quietly.

After thinking quietly for a while, his hidden worries went away.

Cui Xie was originally a smart man, his teacher and the officials of the Hanlin Academy were even the top people called "Chuan Xiang", and they were all righteous, so how could they write something that could be criticized? It's just that he cares about it, for fear that Cui Xie's name will be tainted by him.

Now that things have come to this, he might as well put his mind down and just take this drama as the world seeing their good deeds these days, take the initiative to write to praise them, and tell his subordinates generously, so that the subordinates who have worked hard these days will have a good time. Happy, and also invite good colleagues to listen to the good show.

=====================

Xie Ying was preparing for a treat at home, and Cui Xie asked someone to move the spirits to Li Dongyang's house early, and also asked the shopkeeper Ji to contact the troupe to prepare for a new play.

This new "Pipa Ji" still uses the Fushou class that I worked with once in the last round. Cui Xie studied the Bansu movie, drew the technical manual for the makeup of the three protagonists by himself, and sent the clothes, jewelry and cosmetics that had already been prepared together with the hospital book.

Although it is impossible for ordinary people to put on makeup and become Guan Zhilin and Anita Mui, the promotional pictures are all in the style of comic strips, and they are not particularly realistic. As long as the actor draws long eyebrows, pointed eyes, and a snow-skinned red lip, it will be similar to the character in the painting.

Because this play was written by Hanlin, the tunes and words are fresh, and it is not as easy to learn as those popular dramas where the words and phrases overlap, and some tunes are not commonly used tunes, so musicians need to learn from scratch . When acting, you can't just stand on the stage and sing, and you have to arrange new movements. Therefore, the Fushou troupe lined up for about a month before they sang the four-fold opera in its entirety, ready to perform.

Cui Xie took advantage of the holiday on the first day of August to bring people to Li's house and began to set up the stage. Lu Juren followed him to Li's house as an art director, and met Li Dongyang, the suzerain of the literary world who he had admired for a long time but had no chance to get close to.

When he saw Li Dongyang, he was so nervous that the muscles on his face stiffened, and he kept saying, "Wansheng Lu Boshan, I've seen Mr. Li! The two bamboo branch poems that the adults changed for Wansheng are beautiful and tactful, revealing their true feelings. In my heart..." He almost sang to Li Dongyang too. However, Mr. Li had heard Cui Xie sing poetry, and he didn't trust the singing voice of his former curator, so he quickly persuaded him to talk about poetry with him.

Cui Xie was in the courtyard watching people unloading props.

Their fake furniture, trees, and rocks are not strong. When they moved to Li's house, they put a bamboo cage outside, filled with crushed hemp hay and filled it with shock-proof. Some brilliance. Cui Liangdong led people to build a stage on the west side of the main courtyard, a shelf to hang the curtain on the back of the stage, and a shed for props at the back.

Li Zhaoxian ran back and forth around the stage, looking at the rockery and trees that were more delicate than the Lantern Festival's Dengshan Mountain. He couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and went up to touch it from time to time. After the inner room of Wang Yao's mother's house was set up in the first scene, Li Dongyang couldn't help but look back at Wanran's arrangement on the stage, and sighed: "It's extravagant to spend so much manpower and material resources for a play. …”

He had never seen such a good stage set before, and only heard that there was a real set in the palace. The Cui family did this. I was afraid that after listening to Xie Qianhu talking about things in the palace, I was thinking about making the stage more elaborate, right

He asked Lu Juren, "It took a lot of effort for you to arrange these?"

Lu Juren said with a little smugness: "I don't dare to say how much effort it takes, but I just ask the craftsmen to weave some bamboo skeletons according to the pattern, decorate the exterior with leather oil or straw paper, and then paint the color. In painting, I have seen some real mountains and rivers, and the things made are a little more agile than what the craftsmen thought."

Oh... He saw that these things were so tightly wrapped, and the bedding was mushy, and he thought they were made by burning them. It turned out that the brilliance was the light of oil and wax...

No wonder the new dramas in the palace began to set up detailed backgrounds this year, but I didn't hear that the servants asked the state treasury for money for this. I don't know who thought about this, and it was really beneficial.

He couldn't help but go up and touch it, feeling the soft, micro-striped elastic touch under his palm, and smiled with satisfaction: "Zi Kuan has also worked hard for a long time. Our student brought a lot of good wine here. You will come to my house with him at night, too, to have a drink and watch the show together?"

Li Dongyang wrote a lot of invitations during the night. When he was on duty the next day, he made a serious post, and invited his colleagues who were free to come to the house to enjoy the new drama.

The author has something to say: 'Thin waist and limbs are thinned, and romanticism is reduced' (Ming Liang Chenyu)

I made a big mistake, Li Dongyang's second son was born in 22 years, not 22 years old... .. I quickly changed it two days ago, everyone should forget him
