The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 346 Jia Yuanchun

After leaving the imperial study, Zhang Yun逸 followed Zhou Xiangui to the Shangyi Bureau.

In the early days of the Great Xia Dynasty, female officials were responsible for almost all affairs in the harem, including guiding the queen, receiving and issuing documents, managing the keys to the palace, rituals and music, daily life, audiences and banquets, clothing and jewelry, feather guards, serving meals, prescribing medicines, sweeping curtains, planting gardens, lighting and candles, needlework courses, food, firewood and charcoal, and so on.

However, because women were not like eunuchs, except for a very small number who stayed in the palace for a long time, most of them had to leave the palace and get married when they reached a certain age, so the rights of female officials were gradually replaced by eunuchs.

During the Zhengqing period, as the emperor became obsessed with monasticism, female officials lost hope of promotion. Few aristocratic families were willing to send their daughters into the palace, and gradually they became mere figures, controlled by eunuchs.

However, the system of female officials in the six bureaus and one department was still retained.

Arriving at the Shangyi Bureau in a corner of the palace, Zhou Xiangui immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Jia Sile!"

Jia Yuanchun was good at music and worked as a musician in the Shangyi Bureau.

A woman in palace dress in the hall immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Eunuch Zhou! Why are you here?"

As the emperor's personal eunuch and in charge of the Jingshifang, Zhou Xiangui obviously had considerable prestige in the palace.

Zhou Xiangui did not answer, but instead said arrogantly: "Why don't you go and meet the Lord!"

A phoenix without its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken. Originally, Dai Quan had not gotten into trouble, and because of Jia Jing's face, she had not been wronged in the palace. But as her marriage was delayed, Concubine Zhen sent her to the Shangyi Bureau on the pretext of something, and her situation was worrying.

Jia Yuanchun was not aware of the need to be cautious. She bowed deeply to Zhang Yunyi and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Si Le Jia Yuanchun, I greet you, my Lord!"

She had never met Zhang Yunyi and did not know his identity, so she had to follow Zhou Xiangui's instructions and address him as Sir.

Knowing the emperor's intention, Zhang Yun逸 looked at Jia Yuanchun with the air of examining his prey.

As a legitimate daughter, she was raised by Grandmother Jia since childhood and was trained for entering the palace.

Even though her current situation is worrying, she is not as timid as Yingchun, nor as smart as Tanchun, nor as cold and aloof as Xichun.

She was quiet, dignified, graceful and elegant, which was quite consistent with Zhang Yunyi's impression of a lady from a noble family.

As for her figure, it perfectly combines the thinness of the Jia family and the plumpness of Mrs. Wang.

The thin branches bear large fruits, which are delicious and can reduce internal heat.

As Zhang Yunyi thought so, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"We are all family, Si Le, no need to be so polite!"

Jia Yuanchun seemed to have thought of something when she heard this, but she was still puzzled and asked, "Who is the Lord?"

Even though she was in the deep palace, the windows in the palace were now replaced with glass windows. How could she not have heard of Zhang Yunyi's name?

Hearing her question, before Zhang Yunyi opened his mouth, Zhou Xiangui said dissatisfiedly: "The Lord is also your cousin, how come you can't even recognize the Lord? The Lord is preparing a gift for the Longevity Festival, so you should stand guard for the last shift and help the Lord select two musicians!"

At this point, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has just granted permission for you to take me home early!"

He deliberately emphasized the importance of taking you home and made it ambiguous.

Zhang Yunyi knew this very well, but Jia Yuanchun blushed, and then a hint of excitement appeared on her face. She murmured, "Go home... Could it be that my grandmother and the others are already outside the palace..."

Zhang Yunyi touched his nose and said, "The old ladies don't know yet. I just mentioned it to the emperor. I didn't expect the emperor to show such mercy!"

Knowing the emperor's intention, he had no choice but to cooperate.

"Sir!" Zhou Xiangui bowed and said, "It's better to reminisce about the past later. I will prepare a spacious carriage for you later so that you can reminisce on the road. How about choosing the musicians first?"

Zhang Yunyi nodded, then turned to Jia Yuanchun and said, "Thank you, Sister Yuanchun!"

Although he knew that Yuanchun was two years older than him, the age of women in ancient times was a secret, so there was nothing wrong with him calling her sister.

When Jia Yuanchun heard Zhou Xiangui arrange for her to ride in the same car with Zhang Yunyi, she was stunned. Then when she heard him address her as his sister, her face immediately turned red and she said in a trembling voice, "Sir, you are too polite!"

"Sister Yuanchun, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Brother Yi!"

"I don't know, Brother Yi... Brother Yi, what kind of musician should we choose?" "I'm not very good at music, why don't you, Sister Yuanchun, explain it to me!"

Zhang Yunyi already had plans for the music. His play was mainly about the story, and he did not intend to imitate the clanging sounds on the stage.

The scene where Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang have feelings for each other can be lyrical, with music such as flutes, pipes and zithers.

As for the part where Tang Bohu makes his confession, I plan to use the percussion music in the movie.

As for the fighting scenes, we plan to use suona.

He just happened to have several familiar suona BGMs from his previous life in his mind, especially the cupping song called Mahakala, which he just happened to reproduce.

However, although he had a plan in mind, he didn't mind talking more with Yuanchun in the palace.

First of all, the emperor must know that he is trying his best to cooperate.

Secondly, once she returns to Rong Mansion, she will be under the watchful eyes of the public, with Tanchun and Yingchun watching her covetously, so it may not be as easy as in the palace.

When talking about her expertise in music, Jia Yuanchun became less restrained and began to talk freely.

Zhang Yun逸 also took the opportunity to tell Yuanchun the general outline of the story and the general idea of ​​the music arrangement.

"I didn't expect Brother Yi to be so creative and unconventional!"

"It's just a way to please others! I'll have to trouble my sister to select some skilled musicians."

Zhang Yun逸 simply omitted his name.

Yuanchun blushed involuntarily and with lowered brows she selected a few musicians.

Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go! I'll take my sister home!"

……

at the same time.

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhengqing was also busy. He instructed Lu Bing who had been summoned: "Remember to follow the arrangements I told you before. Make sure to make as much noise as possible."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I have already arranged for the personnel to go down when I came. I will ensure that there will be Jinyiwei to explain to the people along the way."

"Okay! Go quickly! Keep an eye on the road, and remember to come back and report when you're done!"

Lu Bing received the order and came to the palace gate, where he saw Zhang Yunyi helping Jia Yuanchun get into the carriage, and then he got inside without any hesitation.

He nodded hurriedly to the two groups of Jinyiwei who were pretending to be civilians and accompanying him outside the palace, then jumped on his horse and fell far behind the carriage.

Although Zhang Yun逸 came by carriage, since the emperor had Zhou Xiangui give the hint, he had no choice but to follow Yuanchun into the carriage.

Instead, he drove the maid Baoqin who followed Yuanchun into the palace, as well as several accompanying musicians, onto his carriage.

Seeing Yuanchun sitting by the window, he did not sit in the vacant seat, but sat face to face with Yuanchun in the window seat opposite.

Although the carriage was quite spacious, the two of them sitting face to face and close to each other inevitably felt a little ambiguous.

When Yuanchun saw him sitting down opposite her, she quickly put her legs together, slightly turned her body, and quietly moved her legs to the side.

Her figure was already well-proportioned, and this sideways movement gave Zhang Yunyi a perfect observation angle.

She stood tall and straight, sitting upright, showing off her exquisite figure to the fullest.

The carriage started moving, and Yuanchun swayed her body involuntarily, as if a fruit tree with fruits hanging on it was dancing in the wind.

Zhang Yun逸 couldn't help but tremble with fear, worrying that the ripe fruits would not be able to bear the weight.
