"Guo Lang is lucky this time. Wang Jin has been favored by our Highness recently. I heard that he has long been interested in promoting him to be the commander of the capital. Soon, anyone who has a little merit in the south will be promoted." Shi Dejun led the way carelessly. .
Guo Pu, who was following him, was puzzled: "It's his luck that he was promoted to commander. What does it have to do with my brother Jiayi?"
Shi Dejun said with a smile: "Idiot, when Commander Wang turns around and is promoted to Commander, won't the position of Commander be left vacant? With your family's background, who can stop him from getting some credit if he wants? Top up?"
Guo Pu exclaimed: "Then Brother Yi will soon be a general on the same level as Brother Rong!"
Shi Dejun shook his head: "The commander is too young, but Guo Lang is only twenty... I can barely count."
As he spoke, he hooked his arm on Guo Xin's shoulder: "I think that Liu Xin is a dragon or a phoenix among men. It will be safer to stay with him and rise to the top sooner or later than to fight in battle. Brother, I will be generous and take my precious waist card." Instead of being a little bitch like yours, I'll give you this great opportunity."
Guo Xin said nothing and glanced at Shi Dejun.
Shi Dejuan said angrily: "Damn it... no matter what, Guo Lang has taken up a military post now, so why should he have a banquet?"
"Haha..." Guo Xin smiled, "Others don't know, Shi Lang doesn't know that I'm completely broke?"
This is true. Although Guo Wei handled a lot of money and food in the army, he really didn't have much money at home, let alone the monthly allowance given to him by his family.
"It doesn't matter, we can go to Chunlefang. If Guo Lang hadn't taken action last time, the singing girls in Chunlefang would have been ruined by Li Ye. It makes sense for us to go and get a meal on credit, right? What a big deal. Guo Lang will just go back and use his salary to make up for it."
After saying that, Shi Dejun couldn't help but pull Guo Xin towards Chunlefang, and Guo Xin did not refuse.
It was already late when the three of them arrived at Chunlefang. Lunch time had just passed, but the nightlife in Taiyuan Mansion had not yet opened. It was the most depressed time of the day.
Shi Dejun exclaimed that his stomach was empty, and Guo Xin was also hungry. So it was Guo Xin who treated the guests, found a seat in the outer hall, ordered some food and drinks, and asked someone to call Cui Yuniang.
At this time, the diet was not yet abundant, and it was also the year when wars caused frequent wars, resulting in food shortages. Therefore, even in a prosperous place like Chunlefang in Taiyuan Prefecture, all that can be served are crudely processed meat and vegetarian meals.
However, Guo Xin is not picky about food, not to mention that it is not easy to get a table like this. At present, most civilians in the Central Plains can live a good life with chaff.
Shi Dejun ate with gusto on the sidelines. This guy was as strong as his father, Shi Hongzhao, and his appetite was surprisingly good. After another round of food was added, the servant who went to call Cui Yuniang came back and reported that Yuniang was waiting in the back room.
Shi Dejun wiped his mouth after drinking and eating, and let out a loud belch: "This bitch is so proud that she dares to keep asking us to wait for so long."
Guo Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him. He stood up and followed the servant who led the way to the back yard. Shi Dejuan called out again before he followed him.
However, this time the servant did not take Guo Xin deeper than last time, but sent them to a remote courtyard.
The courtyard in front of me is very small, with only one main room and several parallel bedrooms. However, Guo Xin knew that the higher the status in such a romance field, the harder it would be to meet him. In addition, the last time Cui Yuniang was able to sing alone for a group of high-ranking yamen, it had shown that she was different from the ordinary kabuki people outside. Not one category.
The servant stepped forward and knocked on the door: "General Guo has arrived."
Immediately, Yu Niang's voice came from inside: "Please come in quickly."
"A singer dares to summon us." Shi Dejuan muttered in a low voice, and opened the door without politeness and walked in. Guo Xin had no choice but to follow.
Guo Xin walked into the main room. He didn't see the two musicians from last time in the room. Only the girl was sitting in the center with the pipa in her arms. What surprised him was that Yu Niang had already taken off the scarf from last time. There was no gauze to cover it, and although Yu Niang was not charming, she was far from being ugly as Shi Dejun said. On the contrary, the girl had a smooth forehead, a small and narrow nose bridge, and a slightly upturned nose, which made Guo Xin feel very kind. of a face.
Apart from her face, the girl's clothes were also impeccable. Against the backdrop of the light red skirt, her exposed neck and jade wrists looked even whiter.
Guo Xin suddenly began to think wildly: How could such a fair and pure girl like jade be raised on such a simple diet?
What Guo Xin didn't know was that Cui Yuniang was also stunned when she saw the two of them coming in. She originally thought that Guo Xin was coming to see her alone this time, so she decided to take off her veil and dressed up a bit before seeing him. However, she didn't expect that Guo Xin still brought the rude man with him last time, so that for a while They even forgot to stand up and salute.
But then she saw that Guo Xin's eyes had not left her body from the time she entered the door until she sat down. Cui Yuniang, who was tired of the man's gaze, had already replaced her shyness with it. At this time, facing Guo Xin's gaze, she felt a little happy - Guo Lang in front of him obviously didn't hate himself.
Thinking of this, Cui Yuniang decided to speak first: "Don't you know me, sir?"
To Guo Xin, this was nonsense. If he had forgotten her, how could he still come to find her? But he still said honestly: "My wife was wearing a veil when we last met. She was distracted just now. Don't be offended."
Cui Yuniang smiled: "The man is kind to me, so he calls me Yuniang."
Guo Xinxin thought: The name Yu Niang is quite appropriate. The girl in front of him is indeed as fair as a beautiful woman.
At this time, Shi Dejun seemed to realize that the two of them were neglecting him, and he spoke dissatisfiedly: "You are a good-looking girl, but you are still barely worthy of my Guo Lang."
Cui Yuniang lowered her head: "The husband is joking, I am just an actress."
"Don't pay attention to this guy, madam..." Guo Xin thought for a while and changed his words: "Yu Niang should just sing."
Cui Yuniang immediately raised her head with a smile: "I wonder what you two gentlemen want to hear?" Cui Yuniang was asking about Guo Xin and Shi Dejun, but she only looked at Guo Xin.
Naturally, Guo Xin didn't expect any lyrics to come out of Shi Dejuan's mouth. He recalled the names of a few people that Zheng Chen often said on his lips, and he immediately came up with the idea: "Yu Niang can sing Wen Feiqing." word?"
Cui Yuniang seemed a little surprised: "Wen Li's lyrics are the most delicate and beautiful. Did you expect Guo Lang to like such a style?"
Guo Xin didn't know this, but he had to deal with it at this time: "Both of us are rough people, Yu Niang can just play casually."
So Cui Yuniang played the pipa twice and soon started singing a cappella:
Phoenix Opposite Plate Golden Thread
Peony after a night of light rain
Looking at each other for a long time in the painting building
