Therefore, when the night lights are first turned on. As one of the many public gardens under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion, the Baiguoyuan once served as the residence of Ma Sui, a hero of the Qianyuan Dynasty. It is already filled with the sound of music, singing and dancing, fine wine and delicacies, and beauties in the arms; even if the wine is not intoxicating, it is People are drunk.
In the vast courtyard with a bright moonlight and sparse stars, there are several tall and low buildings connected by verandas, all of which are brightly lit and bustling with people. Through the open doors and windows, you can see the officers and soldiers inside who have become red-faced and drunk, and are beginning to behave in a dissolute manner. , and women in colorful skirts.
There are also different levels of musical instruments in Jiaofangsi. The lowest level are actually some criminal family members, who serve as handymen similar to slaves; only those who are young enough, and have good looks and descriptions will have the opportunity to be selected to become members of the lower class of kabuki musicians in the Kyobo Division.
But most people spend their entire lives, that is, in most vocal music activities and business dealings of most teachers, they serve as the background and one of the public panels; then they are paired with an older musician or advocate for excellence, forming a so-called musical group whose skills are passed down from generation to generation. Household. Only a few can go further.
They were selected to join the vocal music, song and dance departments of the Jiaofang Division. However, each department was divided into several or more than a dozen performance/performance teams according to different styles; and then served as key members of them. Practitioners at this level, in addition to being summoned In addition to performing, they will also be named to accompany them.
Only those who stand out based on their talents and become an indispensable pillar of every singing and dancing team, and even the vocal and singing and dancing departments to which they belong, can they have the right to reverse selection/rejection of the corresponding nomination. When she got old, she could leave her citizenship for a fee and become a merchant's wife or an official's concubine.
But there are also some people who are selected into the higher-level Yunshao Mansion. In addition to the selection from foreign teachers, there are also the daughters of common people who are selected based on their appearance to teach the pipa, three-stringed harp, harp, harp, and zheng. They are called yatanjia. But it is more like a job. Daily personal control is relatively loose, and weddings and funerals can come and go freely.
The most superior children of Yichun Yuan/Liyuan are called Neijiaofang, and their relatives are also called Neirenjia; they are special beings with an inner palace establishment. Among them, the outstanding ones were given the title of Ten Families. Although there were dozens of families, they were still called the Ten Families. The status is higher than that of lower-class female officials in the same palace.
In addition, there is a special east-west enshrinement courtyard, which specially recruits and supports folk musical instruments, singing and dancing masters, and celebrities; for example, Aunt Gongsun, Yong Xiangzi, and even Mr. Taibai were among them. Belonging to the emperor's favored and proud guests.
Of course, those who can be ordered to come to entertain the banquet are mainly the outstanding actors and actresses belonging to the foreign education workshop. It is reasonable to take advantage of each other, but if you want to go further, it is usually not allowed; but if you get the other party's consent, it is not impossible to keep it secret.
Therefore, in this situation, it is also one of the important opportunities for some people who are unwilling to sink to find a husband and seek to escape from the country. Therefore, Jiang Tian could see the beauties from the Jiaofang Division, with smiles like flowers, weak and boneless, leaning on some people with all their hearts.
Even if it is the first meeting with strangers before, it is like acquaintances who have been with each other for a long time; it may be intimate and unobtrusive joking, or gentle words to encourage people to drink; The occasional whisper of a servant, or the sudden appearance of spring when the ears are warm with wine.
Therefore, I think that after tonight, some people will have their own quite exciting encounters; this may even start a journey of personal love life. After all, after facing all kinds of strange life and death situations and accumulating pressure for a long time, it is the most difficult to resist this kind of gentle offensive.
Of course, compared to other buildings in the park that have open access, Canglang Pavilion, the highest location where Jiang Tian is located, is specially designed to entertain members of the Lixingyuan/Supervision Department, so the style is also better. With the help of outsiders, they also invited Wu Xianniang, one of the ten neijiaofang masters, to sing in the court.
The representatives of the General Administration Department, Yushitai and Jinwuwei all left the scene one after another after simply urging them to drink and pay their respects. The one who was left to continue hosting the banquet was Wu Qingchen, who was also Yu Cong's senior and senior, and was also a bachelor of the Eastern Pavilion, who was also from the School of Liberal Arts of Peking University.
And this rather talkative and humorous martial arts scholar, Wu Qingchen, was also a generation of famous ministers. His grandfather was Wu Yuanheng, the prime minister of the Xiping Dynasty. That's right, it's the Wu Yuanheng from another historical line. As the saying goes, gold will naturally shine no matter where it is placed.
In other words, some celebrities in history also received corresponding encounters in this time and space. For example, Wu Yuanheng, known as the "Iron-Blooded Prime Minister" in history, was also favored by the female middle school Yao and Shun and the sage empress dowager in this time and space where there were no conflicts between factions and feudal lords.
Therefore, he went from being the head of the Faculty of Liberal Arts with excellent academic performance to becoming a specially appointed lecturer to stay at the school; as an assistant professor at Peking University, he was selected as a bachelor of the inner court; It only took twenty years to achieve the qualifications of a scholar.
In the end, Wu Yuanheng returned from his several-year term as ambassador of Xuanhui, who traveled far to propagate overseas princes and mediate conflicts between foreign vassals. For his contribution to maintaining the vassal and vassal system of the country, he was awarded the title of Councilor for Political Affairs, and thus gained the title of Political Affairs Hall. qualifications. At this time he was only forty-six years old.
Therefore, Wu Yuanheng in this time and space had no chance to be assassinated by the dead soldiers of the feudal town on Suzaku Street; but he died at an advanced age in the arms of his concubine. This thought was fleeting, and Jiang Tian's attention returned from the lively banquet to Yu Zong's work report.
In other words, during the period when he was out in the battle, many things happened one after another in the world; compared to the rapid elimination by Jiang Tian's personal leadership, most of the mutations that occurred in Gyeonggi Province and Guannai Province; other Dao The situation in local and state capitals can only be described as mixed.
Although in some places, with the dispatch and support of garrison troops, they successfully suppressed and extinguished abnormal situations, or drove them into the mountains after severely damaging them; but there are also many places where they were unable to control and blockade, causing serious losses and panic, and even in many towns and villages. The village fled.
In addition, there are also transportation and communications in some remote areas, which have been cut off for many days, and they can only wait for the nearby troops to be dispatched to detect the situation. Even the important means of governance of the imperial court, the large network of flying telegraph communications, was destroyed and temporarily lost contact with many overseas nodes.
Many civil commotions and riots of varying sizes broke out in some southern states and counties. The most serious one among them was the Yunmeng bandit, which had been exterminated many times by the imperial court. It reappeared in the swampy areas at the junction of Hunan, Jingnan and Jiangxi roads, and ensnared Hanchuan, Yunmeng and other counties.
In addition, another local association called Dayun Dao became active between Fujian Road, Jiangxi Road, and Zhejiang Road. It publicly declared that it was a kind of cult that was about to be destroyed. It used its wealth to join the society and chanted sutras to protect itself. Doomsday theory... In contrast, the beastly disaster has almost disappeared.
It can be said that during this period of time, changes have been occurring all over the world. Various potential social conflicts that have been suppressed for a long time have been concealed under the peaceful and prosperous era, and there are also all kinds of evil spirits and snake gods who dare not show up. I also took the opportunity and the debris appeared.
Therefore, the high-profile review and commendation and promotion after the return can be said to be an advance reward for the political affairs hall; it is also the next step of intensive expansion and training, as well as splitting the existing strength of the Xijing branch and assigning it to other ten Preparatory work for six (directly governed) governments.
While Jiang Tian and Yu Cong were talking in private, they saw the handsome and graceful martial arts scholar leading another middle-aged colleague with a round figure and a good-natured appearance to walk towards the case table. But judging from Wu Qingchen's behavior, he seemed to respect the other party implicitly.
"Jiang Jianxian, Mr. Yu, could you please allow me to introduce you?" The martial arts scholar said slightly sideways with a pleasant smile: "This is the leading figure in the East Pavilion of my generation. Now the official pays homage to Zhigao and Zhigao." The scholar's outstanding Wei family, brother Shi Liangnian... happened to be entertaining guests nearby..."
"So, I came to be an uninvited guest just because I had the nerve to ask Junior Wu." Zhi Zhigao, named Wei Shiliang, took the initiative with a smile and said, "I hope you two don't mind it? Actually? We've already seen each other during the day, but it's just inconvenient to talk."
"So it turns out that it was Senior Wei who was announcing his post at Danfeng Sect?" Yu Cong reacted in surprise, then turned to Jiang Tian and introduced: "Senior Wei is my generation. A late idol, he is also a legend among the Academy of Literature and the East Pavilion!"
Therefore, this martial arts scholar who is very funny and talkative acts as a lubricant for the lively atmosphere; Yu Cong, as a underachiever, picks up the topic flawlessly; Jiang Tian, who originally likes to be quiet and has a tendency to be socially aloof, also Inevitably, I gradually became familiar with him.
Between the words of praise and compliments, I learned about Wei Shiliang's family background. His ancestor is the famous Chengyang County Prince Wei Boyu; Liang Gong was also the first person to solve the problem of ZTE. During the initial rise of the country, he was regarded as one of the three leaders of Longwu who was his right-hand man.
Of course, in this era, his family had another name: "Shence Wei Family", one of the three supporting families. Yes, it was the three supporting political families who, although for some special reasons, had not been in the political hall and the Privy Council for several generations, they had been entangled with the "female middle school Yao and Shun" all their lives.
Therefore, Jiang Tian could not help but speculate, could it be that the three political support families that had been hidden behind the scenes of the government and the opposition, and whose names had only been known for a long time, were about to surface? Although Wei Shiliang spent most of his conversations reminiscing with Yu Cong, his junior student, he seemed to be observing Jiang Tian.
Until a woman with a stumbling figure and a flushed face came over with faint exclamations and shouts. "Qiao Cui..." However, when Wei Shiliang saw her, he frowned slightly, and then said calmly, "What are you doing..."
"I just want to ask... The husband said..." Halfway through her words, the woman immediately bent down without caring about her image and vomited on the hem of her skirt and sleeves. Wei Shiliang frowned again, but winked and said softly: "Qiao Niang, you are very drunk."
"..." However, when the woman heard this, she suddenly broke away from the companion who was trying to support her, raised her head straight up, and said with an indescribable look in her eyes: "Lang Jun... I'm not drunk, it's you ...". The next moment she suddenly spat out a large pool of squirming blood.
