Chapter 245 Chapter 3 Ancient Opera

Xiang Shaolong saw that he was talking in circles, but still didn't get to the point. He knew that he wanted to make a statement first, so he was willing to say what he came for. He sighed and said, "I really want to earn this money, and I don't even want to We have become enemies with Brother Zhang, but the eldest lady has shown me kindness, so how can I harm her instead?" These words are very tactful.But it is clear that the chariots and horses will not join forces with Zhang Quan. Zhang Quan said with a sly smile: "Brother Shen misunderstood! How could I harm the eldest lady? Although I was annoyed for a while because of her demotion, but after thinking about it, I made a mistake first, so I have nothing to complain about."

Xiang Shaolong was surprised and said: "Then what exactly does Brother Zhang want me to do? According to the plan, if I can do it, Brother Zhang, can't you also do it? Why do you want to force the yellow gold into my private pocket?" ?” Zhang Quan leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Do you know that Xiaoping once secretly told people that Huanxi fell in love with you?" Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "That doesn't matter, but I don't believe she would say that to people." Zhang Quan said with a smile: "Of course she won't say it directly, but she loves to talk about you with people. With her personality, this already shows that she is very interested in you."

Xiang Shaolong felt a big headache. In the present situation, he must not get involved in emotional matters.And he is very tender-hearted towards girls, and when he gets entangled, he just invites troubles.I was secretly vigilant in my heart, and replied: "Brother Zhang, there is no need to continue. If you want to use Miss Xiaoping to achieve your goal, I will not do it. Is this okay? I will try to ask the eldest lady to promote you back to your original position, while I will Retired to the position of deputy. Isn't it better for everyone to be harmonious than to fight all day long?"

Seeing his decisive expression, Zhang Quan showed displeasure and said, "Brother Shen is too naive, do you think that the eldest lady gave you my seat because she thinks highly of you? She is just using you as a scapegoat! In fact, she secretly has The person I like, after the trip to Linzi, I will retire with him in secret, live together, if I guess right, she will pretend to have a crush on you, so as to divert other people's attention. At that time, you will be a fool when you die What about ghosts?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "Who is that person?" Zhang Quan sighed: "If I knew who that person was, I wouldn't beg you. No one knows about Feng Fei except Xiao Ping'er."

Xiang Shaolong discounted Feng Fei's favor again, because what Zhang Quan said was reasonable. Feng Fei is a very smart person, how could she think that she has the ability to take her away from Linzi safely, but she insists on saying so.It was clearly to arouse the heroism of her men to protect women, but in fact, she had secretly made a plan to retire. But Zhang Quan was bought by someone, who wanted to sabotage her plan, so that he could secretly take her into his private house, even if he didn't get her heart, he would still get her. A stunner like Feng Fei is the object of everyone's competition.Although no one dared to seize it with open swords and spears, they used all their magic weapons in secret.

The situation is indeed very delicate, but unfortunately I was involved in this whirlpool. Zhang Quan thought he was moved.He took out a money bag from his pocket and poured out five ingots of gold.Putting his hand on his shoulder, he said kindly: "The people behind me are no small matter in Qi State, regardless of their status. Brother Shen, as long as he does things well for him, he may be able to get an official position. Moreover, he is so infatuated with the eldest lady that he will only Let her enjoy all the splendor and wealth, speaking of looking for you, I still do good things for Miss Ren."

How could Xiang Shaolong believe him. But if he were Zhang Quan himself, he would also lie that the backer behind him was a powerful person in Qi, because that would be the deterrent. Xiang Shaolong said lightly: "Let me figure out the situation before making a decision. Brother Zhang put away these gold first. Sigh! You should give me some time to think about it." Seeing his resolute expression, Zhang Quan nodded and said, "Okay! But when you arrive in Linzi, you must give me an affirmative answer." After Zhang Quan left, Xiang Shaolong was still in a daze. Did Feng Fei really use herself as a substitute for the dead ghost?Has her noble and elegant appearance.It was hard to believe how mean she was in secret.

At first he thought that Zhang Quan was just Dong Shuzhen's lackey, but he didn't seem to be like that just now.Otherwise, there is no reason for one party to do everything possible to drive him away, while the other party bribes him. When he was confused, Xiao Yuetan came back. After hearing what Xiang Shaolong said about Zhang Quan, Xiao Yuetan frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Feng Fei's retirement would cause such a big problem. It seems that some people will not hesitate to take advantage of others and want to win the beauty alone, but Zhang Quan's words are not unreasonable. Because Feng Fei is highly respected by the princes and ministers of various countries, as long as she is willing to speak, there are many people who will be willing to be flower protectors. But if she is so secretive, it can be seen that she must have another favorite person who is not visible, and this person His status is even lower. If people find out that he got Feng Fei, it will be a disaster."

Xiang Shaolong knew that he was more sensitive to Chu's dignitaries than himself, and asked: "Then Feng Fei is really so despicable that she wants to use me as a scapegoat?" Xiao Yuetan said with a smile: "Just wait and see what happens and everything will be clear. Shaolong, you are not a person who is easy to bully. Whoever wants to play tricks, we can play with them for a while." Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but laugh. Who would have imagined that such a complicated struggle would be involved in such a small kabuki troupe? ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Seeing the rehearsal of the kabuki troupe, Xiang Shaolong realized that poetry, song, music, and dance are integrated. In the past, when he watched songs and dances, he was either indifferent, or his attention was only focused on the most beautiful pillars. The whole-hearted appreciation of this moment.

It's just that Yunniang leads the band of nearly thirty musicians, which is good enough. Yunniang is in charge of eight pieces of chime bells, ranging from large to small, representing the original octave, which take up one-fifth of the space in the cabin when hung up, and her posture of ringing the bell is full of dazzling graceful gestures and the feeling of dancing No wonder Feng Fei valued her so much. He couldn't help thinking that Feng Fei would tell her about the disbandment of the Maiko Troupe in private, because seeing how she threw herself into Xiao Yuetan's arms, it might be that she was looking for a good home for herself.As people get older, they always become more practical.If it were her, she would still pick the "achieved" Xiao Yuetan instead of the "lost" self.

The hall is full of harmonious music composed of stone chimes, chime bells, pottery fillings, rust, cymbals, bells, and bronze drums.Gentle and honest, it will never make people feel noisy. Ten singers including Xingyue and Zhu Xiuzhen danced along with the music.Feng Fei and Dong Shuzhen stood aside, watching the dancers, and whispering to each other from time to time to study. From the outside, they never knew that the two were intriguing. The other servants took on the responsibility of changing clothes and serving tea to the girls. They were busy in their own way, which added a lot of excitement. This time Feng Fei did not invite Xiao Yuetan to give advice, so Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to be a spectator alone. Fortunately, it's just that the concubines are already enough to make him feast on her beauty and make him dizzy.Especially Xingyue never forgets to throw him two winks at many times, so that he doesn't feel left out.Zhu Xiuzhen acted as if she was still annoyed at him, and after giving him a hard look, she didn't look at him again. Suddenly a cold voice sounded from the side: "Who are you looking at?" Xiang Shaolong looked around in astonishment, only to see Xiao Ping'er, who was still dressed in men's clothes, staring at him with a sullen face, his expression was unkind, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Of course I'm watching a line dance!" Xiao Ping'er said, "I think you're just staring at Miss Xingyue." Xiang Shaolong secretly thought it was none of your business, but on the surface he could only swallow his anger and said: "Miss Xiaoping, don't you think her dancing posture is particularly beautiful?" Xiao Ping'er stomped her feet and said, "You clearly have ulterior motives for her, that's why you're so engrossed in watching her." Xiang Shaolong heard that she was full of jealousy, but he still had no relationship with her, so he couldn't help feeling disgusted.Deliberately annoyed her and said: "It's human nature to be interested in seeing the color. If Miss Xingyue performed in front of a large audience, wouldn't Miss Xiaoping want to scold hundreds of people one by one?" Xiao Ping'er's pretty face flushed red, and she left in a fit of anger.Xiang Shaolong felt quite relieved, this woman is self-willed, jealous, arrogant and unreasonable, it's better not to mess with her. At this moment, Feng Fei beckoned him over, and asked, "Guan Shen thinks this newly choreographed dance music is okay?" Dong Shuzhen's eyes fell on his face, staring at him burningly.Although I know that this woman is not a good woman, but I know that she is a flower that can be picked, and I have heard her voice when she was a wanderer. Now I can't help feeling very exciting when I look at her breast augmentation and slender waist at a distance within reach. Xiang Shaolong coughed dryly: "I'm really not good at rhythm, but I still find it very pleasant to the ear. Yunniang's chime bells are even more crisp and clear, controlling the entire army like a commander in chief." Dong Shuzhen smiled charmingly: "Deacon Shen still said he doesn't understand the rhythm. Only these two sentences point out the center of gravity of the band. They are all indispensable, and when the main melody of silk and bamboo music such as qin, zither, pipe, and flute is played to accompany the singers, the bells have a more sunny effect, rendering the whole atmosphere." Xiang Shaolong'er was flirting with her eyes, even though she knew she was deceitful, she was still a little flattered, so she could only obediently listen to her.Smelling the charming fragrance of the two women, standing in this country full of Yingyans, on this ancient big ship, sailing in the long river at winter night, who can not move his heart. Feng Fei said surprisingly softly: "Poetry expresses its aspirations, dances its appearance, and sings its voice. The three are integrated into one, forming this celestial phoenix to celebrate the birthday of King Qi. It is a pity that my main song encountered some difficulties. I hope it can be completed before the birthday banquet, otherwise it will be greatly inferior." A strange expression flashed across Dong Shuzhen's beautiful eyes, although Xiang Shaolong was surprised, but he couldn't grasp what she was thinking. Xiang Shaolong turned his gaze back to Xingyue and other girls who were singing and dancing, and said casually: "Does every dance have different lyrics to express different plots, and finally the main song brings the climax to form a complete short story?" Woolen cloth?" Feng Fei and Dong Shuzhen's delicate bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at him in disbelief. Xiang Shaolong felt strange, turned around and saw their expressions, he was very embarrassed and said: "The villain is just talking nonsense, the two young ladies don't take it to heart." The two were still unable to speak. This time it was Xiang Shaolong's turn to be shocked, and suddenly realized. For people in the 21st century, expressing a certain plot or story with song and dance is a common technique used in all operas, and there is nothing unusual about it.But in the Warring States period, the music and dance that emerged from Shaoyue still remained in the original form of sacrificial dance, and did not focus on "drama". It was not mature until the Song and Yuan Dynasties. So these words were naturally shocking to Feng Fei. Feng Fei's attractive breasts rose and fell sharply a few times before she let out a breath and said, "Oh! Shen Liang, you are a very special person." Dong Shuzhen said: "This idea is not only special, but also very fresh, Missy can use it for consideration." Feng Fei's beautiful eyes, which can seduce people's souls, shone with a moving brilliance, and after her eyes lingered on Xiang Shaolong's face for a moment, she said softly with her fragrant lips: "Shuzhen, think about it too, I want to go back to my room to rest meeting." After saying that, he went away. Xiang Shaolong was at a loss, Dong Shuzhen's close breast almost touched his arm, and then said in a low voice: "No one has ever moved Feng Fei so much, Shen Liang, you are the first person." Xiang Shaolong said embarrassedly: "Second Miss, don't hurt me." Dong Shuzhen smiled like a flower.Lifting her delicate body with ease on her toes, she leaned into his ear and said, "People are also tempted by you." After speaking, he blew a breath into his ear. Xiang Shaolong knew that she was seducing him for some ulterior purpose, but he still had the urge to touch her.Busily suppressing this tempting thought, he said with a wry smile: "Second Miss, don't do this. It's not very good." Dong Shuzhen smiled sweetly and moved away a little.Bai He glanced at him and said: "You can come to other people's rooms when you have time. At that time, there are only two of us, can't we talk at ease?" Xiang Shaolong thought to himself, could it be "sending the sheep to the tiger's mouth", to fall into your lust trap.He replied: "The villain dare not, and I am even more afraid that the eldest lady will blame me." Dong Shuzhen said with a sweet smile: "Your fist is so hard, but you are so timid, how can the young miss meddle in my business? Well, you have delusions about the young lady, right?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said: "Second Miss is joking, a villain is just a servant, how dare you have the outrageous thought of a toad eating swan meat." Dong Shuzhen jerked her delicate body and said, "Toads eat swans, how did you come up with such an adjective?" Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that this slang term had not yet been invented, and he said awkwardly, "It's just a casual saying." Dong Shuzhen sized him up as if she was meeting him for the first time, and then said after a while: "Every time you have amazing words, but they are also thought-provoking. It's a pity that such a talent is buried. Shen Liang, are you worried about your future? thought about it?" At this time, the music stopped, and the concubines stopped and laughed, waiting for Dong Shuzhen's instructions.Only Xingyue stood aside, watching the two chat intimately with a little jealousy.Xiao Ping'er didn't know where to go. Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to say: "The villain is satisfied to be a deacon, ah! They are waiting for the second lady's instructions." Dong Shuzhen whispered: "Let me tell you a secret, this kabuki troupe will be disbanded soon. Those who know the inside are all looking for their own destiny, and those like me who don't want to become noble concubines are even more troubled. Shen Liang, you If you have ambitions, come and talk to someone." He stretched out his hand and squeezed his arm, and said with a light smile, "You are so strong." Only then did he reach all the concubines with a smile on his face. Xiang Shaolong didn't dare to look at Xingyue's reaction, and left in a hurry.On the way back to his room, he felt sympathy for Dong Shuzhen for the first time.Maybe she is just a person who is loyal to art, and she doesn't want to lose the only career that women in this era can enjoy at such a young age. To a certain extent, Feng Fei is quite selfish, she only thinks of herself.It would be even more unforgivable if, as Zhang Quan said, she asked herself to be a dead ghost to divert other people's attention. If there is a way to make Dong Shuzhen become Feng Fei's successor, and Feng Fei can be her mother-in-law, wouldn't everyone be happy.This is difficult, but not impossible, and the problem is still with Feng Fei. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Back in the room, Xiao Yuetan cooperated with the new dye to disguise him.Xiang Shaolong told him that Xiao Ping'er almost saw through his modification.The latter said with a smile: I guarantee that no one will be able to see the flaws. The best thing is that you have lost at least ten catties, and even the shape of your eyes has changed. Don't eat so much. It would be bad if you gained weight. Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm very restrained now, but the headache now is that Xiaoping is looking at me, and Dong Shuzhen is flirting with me, what do you think should I do?" Xiao Yuetan laughed and said: "Xiang Shaolong is Xiang Shaolong after all, since you can make Ji Cai fall in love with you, it's no wonder that other Yingyingyanyans don't fall for you. Hey! Let me show you something." Xiang Shaolong moved toward his open palm, saw a hard core that seemed to be a hard fruit, the size of a finger, and wondered: "What is this?" Xiao Yuetan said: "It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you put it under your tongue and speak, you can change the tone of your voice, completely unlike Xiang Shaolong." Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be weird if Feng Fei and the others heard it?" Xiao Yuetan said: "Do you still think that you are your former identity? When Feng Fei talked with outsiders, you had a unique opportunity to be present, and even if you were present, you were not qualified to intervene. When you meet acquaintances, first put the fruit core in your mouth Once plugged in, it is guaranteed to be hidden from anyone." Xiang Shaolong was no stranger to Xiao Yuetan's magic weapon, he took the fruit core and put it on the bottom of his tongue according to the instructions, and started to "babble" under Xiao Yuetan's guidance, and sure enough, even the quality of his voice changed a little. When Xiao Yuetan couldn't help but laugh again and again, there was a knock on the door, and he hurried to open the door. Seeing that Xiao Yuetan seemed to be dragged out of the door by someone, Xiang Shaolong was puzzled. Xiao Yuetan returned to his side and said in a low voice, "I'll go to Yunniang's room to flirt with him for a night. If you want to relieve your loneliness, you can take the happiness Yue waited for one of them to get it. I don't know what Xing Yue's kung fu is, but I can guarantee that Dong Shuzhen is brilliant on the bed, so let's do it for myself." After the door closed, Xiang Shaolong could only smile wryly. The journey is lonely, and it is a joy in life to have a beautiful woman to sleep with.However, he couldn't pass the level of "self". After sitting for a while, he calmed down and got into bed to sleep.Now his greatest pleasure is to meet his lovely wife and children in his dreams. When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly woke up.There was a soft sound of closing the door in his ear, Xiang Shaolong reached out to the side of the table and grabbed the handle of Blood Wave. With the fragrant wind, a hot and moving carcass got into his quilt, wrapping him tightly like an octopus.
