Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 548 Transition

  Performing arts tonight also expects 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.

   "Young Master Zhou~!"

  Song Yinzhang had no resistance, and even took the initiative to hold up the pipa, allowing someone 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 lobby is in front of the corridor. If the noise disturbs the guests and things don't 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 the 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 small-minded, 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 heart.

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 that although his master Xiangye has returned to the court, his wings are far less plump than Qingliu's. Right now, he urgently needs to make friends with Lin Lingsu, a state teacher who is in the limelight, and work together to push Qingliu out of the courtroom.

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 hand, 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.

   "Shenxiao Zhenren~" "Fairy Master~"

  Realist 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 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 **** and a playboy.

   Indulging in female **** is not pure flow.

  Ke Zheng shook his head, not hiding his disappointment.

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

  In the middle of the lobby, 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.

   "How dare you dare." "Ms. Xiao is serious."

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

  Zhou Ji shook the wine glass, and the strong wine in the glass instantly turned into clear water, and replacing the wine with water was regarded as a way of saving face.

  Xiao Qinyan returned to the main seat above the steps with a loud smile, looked at the crowd and said, "Would you like to listen to the beautiful 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. When Xiao Qinyan asked such a question, no one dared not to support him. Only Ke Zheng, Qi Mu and other 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.

   It's strange to say that 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 dignitaries in the past came to mind. Facing the gazes of everyone, 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 in 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.

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

  Seeing Song Yinzhang playing 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..."

   "Starting with Cebu, 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, he naturally had a good singing voice.

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

   Even though I sent Song Yinzhang back to the teaching workshop several times, I never stepped in.

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

  Xiao Weigang, the son of Prime Minister Xiao, offended Ke Zheng when receiving the imperial decree. In order to show 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 knows that this guy has no eyesight, and he is still unwilling to ask, "Would you like to have a bite?"

   This completely annoyed Ke Zheng, and was sneered at by Ke Zheng. He lost face and had to flee 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 tone: "Mr. Ke still thinks Mrs. Zhang's song is pleasant to my ears?"

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

  He is arrogant and always likes to make unique remarks to show his uniqueness.

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 set his eyes on 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', and 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 didn't know the 'coincidence' at all. Standing there, he felt 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 Hao exhausted all his rationality to step aside and give up the venue to Song Yinzhang.

  Song Yinzhang was about to play "Broken Array", but Xiao Wei, who had just fled in desperation, 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!"

  Little white rabbit. Biting?

  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!"

  This 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 held his neck and wanted to fight back, but seeing Xiao Qinyan slam the wine glass on the table heavily, the hall fell into silence immediately.

  Zhou Ji imitated Xiao Wei's tone just now, and arched his fire: "I used to hear that Xiao Ya'ei 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 hadn't spoken much, was the first to agree, "Not bad, very good, Fushi Gu and Xiao Yanei's sword dance will not violate the taboos of the previous court, and they will embrace the moon with two stars. 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 beside him with a strange expression.

  Although I don't know why Lin Lingsu 'rebelled', it must be related to 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 is not appropriate to use swords on the day of great joy, and please don't make fun of the dog." Xiao Qin said that the city was deep, and he waved his hands, looking at Zhou Ji with a smile.

   Now, everyone's focus is on this young man who looks 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 real Shen Xiao seemed to be looking forward to 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 **** by Zhou She and **** 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, gently grabbed her soft hand, palms overlapped, 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'.

  Siteng 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.

  After the end of the song, Song Yinzhang slowly raised his head, and the process of moving the pipa away from his face, those sharp eyes, which 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.)
