Journey To the World of Film and Television

Performing Arts tonight also counted on Song Yinzhang to cooperate with him. Seeing someone 'robbing' the pipa in Song Yinzhang's hand face to face, Zhang Haohao was shocked, but he was even more surprised when he saw who was coming.

"Master Zhou~!"

Song Yinzhang had no resistance, and even took the initiative to hold up the pipa, allowing the visitor to take the pipa away, and turned around to look at Zhou Ji on the steps, with a look of surprise on his face.

"And Miss Sito, Xiaokui, you guys are here~"

"Who told you to talk!" The maidservant at the side frowned slightly, showing dissatisfaction, and glanced at the two women accompanying Zhou Ji, one dignified and cold, the other beautiful in red, and said coldly: "You two together ?”

Si Teng's eyes turned cold, and he heard a hint of offense from the contemptuous tone of the maidservant. Hongkui nodded as a matter of course, and said impatiently, "You even saw us coming together, so you still ask?"

"You!!!" Hongkui's attitude immediately enraged the maidservant, the hall is in front of the corridor, if the guests are disturbed by noise, the matter will not end well, the maidservant suppressed her anger and said sternly, "Then just wait here."

"Wait to see you court death?" Zhou Ji said lightly.

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to be stagnant, and she had never seen such a dull coercion even in front of the furious master.

Uncle Zhong, who was leading the way for Xiao Qinyan and Lin Lingsu, saw this scene in the corridor, and was almost frightened out of his wits. He quickly handed the lantern to the servant next to him, walked quickly to the corridor, raised his hand and slapped the maidservant across the face, He bowed deeply to Zhou Ji and apologized repeatedly.

Hearing that the butler said that the people in front of him were honored guests brought by Daoist Shenxiao, the servant girl remembered the singing about Taoist Shenxiao just now, and realized that she might have caused a catastrophe, so she knelt down with a plop, and she was no longer as arrogant as before. Arrogant.

Although Si Teng is a small-minded person, loves to get angry, especially holds grudges, is very concerned about face, and coughs. He is also open-minded, with a deep heart, kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, dignified and generous, with a deep chest.

But with her arrogance, naturally she would not kill a maid who made a slip of the tongue. She looked away from Zhou Ji as coldly as ice. Zhou Ji coughed lightly and said, "It's not surprising for those who don't know, she just slipped in a slip of the tongue for a while." , now that I have apologized, this matter is over, but Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zhang seem to have been waiting here for a long time, since it is not their turn to perform, can you let them go down and tidy up their appearance first?"

"It's natural, it's a small negligence!"

Uncle Zhong knows very well that although his Prime Minister has returned to the court, his wings are not as full as Qingliu's. Right now, he urgently needs to make friends with Lin Lingsu, the state teacher who is in the limelight, and work together to push Qingliu out of the court.

The unknown Mr. Zhou in front of him, even Lin Lingsu, the master of Shenxiao, wants to treat each other with courtesy, how dare he offend, he turned his head to look at the maid who came with him, and ordered: "Hurry up and attract the two ladies. Going to do your makeup?"

The maidservants hurriedly took the pipa from Zhou Ji's hands, and helped away Song Yinzhang and Zhang Haohao. Uncle Zhong glanced at another maidservant who was kneeling on the ground, and reprimanded, "Go down and get thirty slaps! Get ten whips!"

Zhou Ji hesitated to speak, but he couldn't say anything.

As early as when he entered the door, Lin Lingsu had introduced Zhou Ji to Xiao Qinyan as his best friend, Xiao Qinyan was an old man, and he could see that Lin Lingsu respected this Young Master Zhou, so he didn't ask any further questions. Along the way, they just exchanged pleasantries with each other, talking and laughing all the way, as if they had been friends for many years.

During the banquet, Ke Zheng, the leader of the Qingliu faction, was still surprised by the young men and women who were the first to be seated by the butler of the Xiao Mansion, and then he saw the treacherous prime minister Xiao Qinyan and the real person Lin Lingsu walking in, talking and laughing. hall.

"Master Shenxiao~" "Master Immortal~"

Daoist Shenxiao is highly respected by officials and powerful.

The guests in the hall hurriedly approached to curry favor.

Ke Zheng looked around and found that only Lei Jing, the Secretary of the Imperial City, and a few Qingliu had not got up, and most of the other officials had already left the table, gathering around Lin Lingsu and Xiao Qinyan.

In addition, the young man sitting next to him didn't seem to notice the movement here, and he kept joking with the two women who were seated together with drinks and tea soup, looking like a swinger and a playboy.

Indulging in female sex is not pure flow.

Ke Zheng shook his head, not hiding his disappointment.

"Today is Mr. Xiao's birthday, so please take your seats first."

In the middle of the hall, Lin Lingsu invited the guests back to their seats one by one, then gave way to Xiao Qinyan, and sat opposite Ke Zheng, the first on the left.

Now that the guests have arrived, Xiao Qinyan looked around and saw Gu Qianfan sneaking into the lobby quietly, sitting in a corner seat, staring at him for a long time, his face even more joyful, stood up, and walked down the steps, first of all, he thanked everyone for coming to join him , and then toasted everyone.

"Don't you dare?" "Xiao Xiangyan is serious."

Everyone raised their glasses in return, and even Ke Zheng drank the glass out of etiquette and face, and put the wine cup upside down on the table.

Zhou Ji shook the wine glass, and the spirit in the glass instantly turned into clear water, and substituting water for wine was regarded as a way of saving face.

Xiao Qinyan smiled brightly and returned to the main seat above the steps, looked at the crowd and said, "Would you like to listen to the wonderful voice of Mrs. Zhang that the officials have personally praised?"

The officials present had more or less heard of Zhang Haohao's reputation for singing, and when Xiao Qinyan asked such a question, no one dared not to support him, only Ke Zheng, Qi Mu and the Qingliu faction remained silent.

The maiko exited the stage, and Zhang Haohao and Song Yinzhang, who had a short rest, both walked into the hall.

Strange to say, Song Yinzhang, who was still nervous before, suddenly became less nervous when he came in front of people with his pipa in his arms.

Every experience of playing in front of the dignitaries in the past came to mind. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Song Yinzhang calmly and confidently puffed up his chest, half-embracing the pipa and bowed, and quietly swept towards Zhou Ji Si Teng and the others' seats during the banquet.

Seeing Zhou Ji and Hong Kui applauding together with other officials, the corners of their mouths could not help but smile with a warm spring breeze.

Retreating to the Hu stool to sit down, Song Yinzhang nodded to Zhang Haohao, half-embracing the pipa and began to pluck the strings.

Looking at Song Yinzhang who played the pipa like a different person, Zhou Ji approached Si Teng and whispered, "I kind of believe what you said about the rabbit biting people."

"The green calyx blooms in the early morning, and the fragrance floats everywhere..."

"Feifei contains Cebu, and the sun is shining brightly..."

Zhang Haohao's melodious singing echoed in the hall.

Since Zhang Haohao was able to get the approval of the officials before, his singing voice is naturally good, the singing voice is clear, the singing is clanging, they complement each other, and the coordination is perfect.

Zhou Ji has always kept himself clean, and since he came to this world, he has never been to Fireworks and Willow Lane.

Even if I sent Song Yinzhang back to the teaching workshop a few times, he stopped outside the door and never stepped in.

I had heard Song Yinzhang say that the two would collaborate on a song at tonight's birthday banquet, but now it's the first time I've heard Zhang Haohao's singing.

Xiao Wei, the son of Prime Minister Xiao, offended Ke Zheng when he was receiving the imperial decree. In order to express himself, he came with a plate of delicacies, intending to make amends.

"Mr. Ke, this is the hump that my father managed to get from the Western Regions."

Ke Zheng originally closed his eyes to enjoy the music, intoxicated by it, but was disturbed by Xiao Wei, who waved his hand to signal him to back down.

Who would have thought that this guy didn't have any sharp eyesight, so he was still unwilling to ask, "Would you like to have a bite?"

This completely annoyed Ke Zheng, and was humiliated by Ke Zheng's sneer and ridicule, so he fled in embarrassment.

After a song, the lingering sound lingers.

Xiao Qinyan looked at Ke Zheng as if nothing had happened, and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Ke still thinks Mrs. Zhang's song is in your ears?"

It is a bad habit among Qingliu that literati look down on each other.

Self-confident and arrogant, always like to make unique remarks to show that he is different.

Ke Zheng had always been at odds with Xiao Qinyan, but he only came here this time because of his elegant style and literati etiquette. Even though he felt that Zhang Haohao's singing voice complemented the pipa, but because Xiao Qinyan specifically mentioned "Ms. Zhang" and Xiao Qinyan's Said it just disturbed his interest.

Looking past Zhang Haohao, Ke Zheng instinctively turned his attention to Song Yinzhang, and said casually, "You can't sing well, but the pipa is better."

Xiao Qinyan heard that Ke Zheng's words were a bit 'pissed off', so he nodded indifferently.

He was able to defeat Ke Zheng this time, half because of his 'forbearance', and the other half because of Ke Zheng's 'arrogance'.

Zhang Haohao was completely unaware of the 'coincidence', and stood there feeling extremely embarrassed, with a forced smile on his face, and his heart was extremely disturbed.

Song Yinzhang's eyes lit up, and he nodded quietly towards Zhou Ji, bowed gracefully, and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Ke, for your praise."

Xiao Qinyan raised his hand and signaled: "Since that's the case, please ask Mrs. Song to play another song."

Zhang Haohao exhausted all his rationality to step aside and give up the venue to Song Yinzhang.

Song Yinzhang was about to play "Broken Array" when he saw Xiao Wei who had fled in desperation just now slipped back like a mouse.

Just based on this person's indifferent behavior just now, Zhou Ji guessed that there must be some moths going on again.

Sure enough, before Song Yinzhang plucked the strings, he saw Xiao Wei's eyes showing venom, and he said in a strange way: "Just listening to the pipa is so boring, I need someone to cheer me up! Deputy Sigu of the Imperial City, I heard that you have excellent swordsmanship, Why don't you follow the example of Lady Gongsun and Lei Haiqing from the previous dynasty, and dance swords to celebrate my father's birthday with this Song lady, so this is also a good story?"

What's wrong with this guy and Gu Qianfan? Say something so stupid?

In this way, Song Yinzhang was put on the fire.

Zhou Ji frowned slightly, and when he was about to save Song Yinzhang from the siege, an "inappropriate" sounded from the field.

Song Yinzhang held the pipa, stood with his head held high, without any fear on his face, and said righteously: "Mencius said that if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square. Gu Shizun used to be a second-class Jinshi, but now he is bestowed by the official family. Wouldn't it be disgraceful to talk with us and other actors? Besides, Aunt Gongsun and Lei Haiqing of the previous dynasty just performed together to celebrate Tang Minghuang's birthday. Even though Mr. Xiao is blessed with great blessings, please be careful with your words!"

The little white rabbit bit someone?

Xiao Wei didn't expect that a small official prostitute would dare to accuse the prime minister's son in public, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and said in a broken voice: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

The little white rabbit usually looks soft and weak, but once he gets stubborn, he doesn't care and says: "The character of a scholar-bureaucrat is worth more than a thousand gold. The yamen's words are inappropriate first, and the concubine is only pointing out the facts. What is nonsense?"

Ke Zheng clapped his hands and smiled, showing approval.

Xiao Wei scratched his head and wanted to fight back, but Xiao Qinyan slammed the wine glass on the table heavily, and the hall immediately fell into silence.

Zhou Ji imitated Xiao Wei's tone just now, and arched his fire: "I used to hear that Xiao Yamen is both civil and military, so he must have a lot of research on swordsmanship. How about you and Gu Fushi fencing in public?"

fencing?

Gu Qianfan and I fencing in public?

The corners of Xiao Wei's mouth twitched, his face was earthy, and he quickly looked at Xiao Qinyan.

Before Xiao Qinyan could speak, Lin Lingsu, who had been silent all this time, took the lead to agree, "That's right, very good, Fushi Gu's sword dance with Xiao Yanei will not offend the taboos of the previous dynasty, and there are two stars embracing the moon. The image of pines and cypresses celebrating birthdays coincides with the way of heaven, and the fate of fortune is long, Mr. Ke, what do you think?"

Ke Zheng glanced at Zhou Ji next to him with a strange expression.

Although I don't know why Lin Lingsu 'rebelled', it must have something to do with this person.

He and Xiao Qin said that the party struggle had failed, and they were already full of anger. With the idea of ​​watching a play, he said with a smile: "What the real Shen Xiao said is very true. The old man has also heard about Xiao Yanei's swordsmanship. Today's sword dance will be passed on to the outside world. It’s also a long story.”

Since Ke Zheng spoke, Qingliu officials who wanted to see Xiao Qinyan's jokes responded one after another.

"My old man's birthday, it's not appropriate to use swords on the day of great joy, and please don't make fun of the dog, Mr. Zhou~Ji." Xiao Qin said that the city was deep, concealed the anger in his heart, waved his hands, and looked at Zhou Ji with a smile.

Now, everyone's focus was on this young man who looked to be in his early twenties sitting under Prime Minister Ke.

Zhou Ji glanced over Gu Qianfan and Xiao Qinyan Xiao Wei's father and son, vaguely seemed to have guessed something, and said calmly: "Don't blame Mr. Xiao for being greedy for a moment and making a slip of the tongue."

Xiao Qinyan also hoped to join hands with the real Shen Xiao to sweep away the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that the young man in front of him seemed to be following the example of the young man in front of him, how dare he blame him, pretending nothing happened, and ordered Song Yinzhang to play a new song.

If Song Yinzhang and Zhang Haohao achieved each other in the song "Qing Ping Le" just now, then this song "Broken Array" puts everyone in their hearts.

Song Yinzhang kept thinking about all the unwillingness she had encountered, from being tied up by Zhou She and tied up in the courtyard like an animal; to the sentence just now "I have to know my identity", this song seems to have exhausted all her energy , the entire lobby was extremely quiet, only her clear and passionate pipa sound reverberated.

Zhou Ji turned to look at Si Teng, and gently grabbed her soft hand, palms overlapped, and it seemed that even the pulse was gradually synchronized.

Zhou Ji seemed to see the little girl who was enlightened by Qiu Shan and regarded as a 'monster' and a 'livestock'.

Si Teng has long accepted these painful pasts, but the stronger she is, the more she feels pity for Zhou Ji.

Si Teng looked back at Zhou Ji, although he didn't speak, Zhou Ji already knew what she wanted.

At the end of the song, Song Yinzhang raised his head slowly, and the process of moving the pipa away from the front, those sharp eyes that were as sharp as swords were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

(As for Ke Xianggong’s evaluation of Zhang Haohao, combined with Ke Zheng’s relegation and Xiao Qinyan explaining that he can beat Qingliu in the original drama, it feels like it’s a bit of a disaster for Chi Yu. In reality, there should be many people like Ke Zheng. Love the house and the crow, hate the house and the crow, as long as it can hit you, never let go of any opportunity.)
