Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 324 The Gift of Prince Zhao
Li Xiaogong smiled all over his face, and asked curiously: "I don't know what can I give advice? Duke Xue is free to tell me."

Xue Lang: "Cough... I don't know if Zhao Junwang knows which one in Pingkangfang has better talents? I would like to invite one to be the chair."

"You know? Xi Jiu?"

Li Xiaogong smiled all over his face, and looked obscenely for some reason, and his tone was self-satisfied: "Mr. It's clear."

The top courtesan in the Tang Dynasty was called Duzhi, which is the highest professional title in the profession of prostitutes in modern terms.Famous people know that it's easy to write a poem in seven steps, and it's easy to write a poem in seven steps. Anyway, the level of education is higher than that of Xue Lang.

Xi Jiao is the referee who judges and punishes the drinking order at the banquet. A good Xi Jiao can help to heat up the atmosphere of the banquet, so that the scene will not be cold, and he is familiar with the punishment of the victory and defeat.

At this time, literati and refined scholars were more in pursuit of the famous Duzhi, and they liked to find such a Duzhi to preside over the banquet, which was an elegant thing.

Xue Lang is new here, not to mention knowing everyone, he doesn't even know which way the Pingkangfang door opens.Even if he had no EQ, he knew that it was impossible to ask Her Royal Highness about this matter, so he only asked Jiang Lin.We all know that Jiang Lin told him about Xi Jiu.

Asking Li Xiaogong was also a whim, a temporary idea, but I didn't expect to ask the right person.However, such a wretched smile... Originally, Li Xiaogong was also a temperamental uncle, such a smile, tsk tsk, what an image!

Li Xiaogong was obviously scratched by Xue Lang's advice, and he was not in a hurry to ride the carriage. He directly pulled Xue Lang, and started chatting as he walked: "The people living in Beiqu are all ordinary people, not worth paying for." Mention. The good things are in the Southern Song and the Middle Song, and the good ones are basically concentrated in these two songs..."

Li Xiaogong really lived up to his reputation. When it comes to Pingkangfang, everyone knows that everyone knows talent, everyone knows how to make banquets, and everyone knows how to compose poetry. , almost as familiar as my own backyard.With his introduction and suggestion, Xue Lang decided on a good candidate, and he just asked Ah Chen to make an appointment tomorrow.

After the seats were fixed, Xue Lang asked casually: "Is there any good singing and dancing in Pingkangfang?"

"Are there any kabuki performers in your house?"

King Zhao asked in surprise.Xue Lang shook his head: "I'm new here, and the population at home is deserted. If I didn't want to entertain my colleagues, I wouldn't be able to think of buying these, and I don't have the intention. It's troublesome to take care of them. I want to ask Pingkangfang to come to me when I need it." It's done. I don't want to bother the two masters, please ask King Zhao Jun to recommend some."

Jun Wang Zhao said with a smile: "This matter is not worth mentioning, Duke Xue can rest assured that this matter will be resolved by someone, and I have the right to accept your fine wine as Xie Yi."

Then, Xue Lang was sent home.Just after returning home to eat, and still strolling around the yard to eat, Chang Jian came in hurriedly: "Report to Da Lang, the housekeeper from Prince Zhao's mansion has come, and said that he is giving gifts to Da Lang on the order of King Zhao."

As he said that, he handed over a stack of papers, Xue Lang saw that they were all indentured, he was slightly taken aback, and decided to meet the housekeeper of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Zhao Junwang's housekeeper is an old man, and when he saw Xue Lang, he hurriedly saluted, but his words were neither humble nor overbearing: "This old servant has seen Changping County Lord, and according to my master's order, I am here to send some Playthings. My master said that the singing and dancing skills of these playthings are rather sloppy, although they can’t be used for much, but they are enough to entertain guests.”

That's right!Zhao Junwang sent Xue Lang a team of kabuki, Xue Lang was speechless holding the deed——

This is the Xie Yi of King Zhaojun? !This is King Zhao's reassurance?Where is the agreed famous general Lee Hyo-gong?

Although it is not surprising that Li Xiaogong is familiar with Pingkang Fang because of his beauty-loving temperament, but it is also drunk to give away the kabuki at his home.

Xue Lang laughed like a toothache: "Please trouble the old housekeeper to go back and tell, just say that I thank Duke Zhao for his kindness."

"Here, the old slave bids farewell."

After delivering the gifts, the old housekeeper went back, what could Xue Lang do?Those were real people, so they couldn't just leave them alone, so He Xiang had to arrange their accommodation, food and drink.

Fortunately, the county mansion has many rooms and a small population, even the handyman is quite small.King Zhao Jun directly gave him ten kabukis. Judging by the ages written on the deeds, they were all thirteen or fourteen years old. They were all young girls, so it was easy to arrange.

By the way, I asked He Xiang to ask, these little girls are all good at dancing, obviously they have practiced hard with their masters, and they can dance "Nine Parts Music", but some big Yan Yue, because there are not enough people, obviously they can't dance.

Xue Lang was quite satisfied, Yan Le was performed in the palace, he was just holding a family banquet, it didn't need to be so complicated, a small team of ten people was enough, let them practice first, and wait for the day of the family banquet to perform songs and dances for the guests .

As for the performers, Xue Lang plans to borrow a few from the Princess Mansion first.It wasn't that he wanted to trouble the princess, but that the musician was played by Taichang Temple, and Dou Dan, the minister of Taichang Temple, had just been politely rejected by Xue Lang.

Since arriving in Chang'an, Chang'an has complicated personnel affairs, Xue Lang has developed a habit of writing it down in a notepad every time he meets a new person.Looking at the historical records of later generations in my mind, I can often discover many things inadvertently and deepen my understanding of the other party.

The concubine failed to secure a matchmaking match with Xue Lang for Dou Dan's youngest daughter. I don't know what Taichang Qing Dou Dan would think.But Xue Lang had to pay attention in order to know what he knew.If he was the only one, he would naturally have nothing to fear, but now that he has a princess, he is naturally a little more cautious and cautious in his actions.

What's more, although the dispute between the crown prince and the King of Qin has not yet reached the point of dire straits, but Xue Lang stands on the sidelines and watches, it is already unsolvable!Unless the sage is ruthless and directly knocks King Qin or the prince down, and supports the other with all his strength.

However, judging from Xue Lang's contact during this period, the saint is a good father, but he is not cruel enough as an emperor, his palms and backs are full of flesh, and both are excellent sons. If the saint is still wavering between the two, Then the tragedy outside the Xuanwu Gate will be inevitable.

He is not worried about King Qin and the crown prince, both of them are fathers and should be responsible for their own choices.The only person he worries about is Princess Pingyang!At that time, how should she alleviate and relieve the shock she received?
This is the biggest problem on Xue Lang's mind.What's more, it is only the first month of the sixth year of Wude, whether the death of Princess Pingyang has passed... Xue Lang is not sure yet!
Make the most comprehensive preparations and face it calmly.If manpower really cannot be changed, then Xue Lang will be with him.

I secretly decided to call Changjian, take the letter he wrote to Princess Pingyang, and borrow some skilled musicians from Princess Pingyang for tomorrow's banquet.
