Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

The meeting was only rented in the Osmanthus Garden in the east gate of Baihua Garden. There were still many men and women waiting for Si Qinghu's signature. Looking from the pavilion in the northeast direction, it looked like a long dragon.

Liu Qingmu and Aunt Yu stood in the pavilion, overlooking the scene of the meeting.

Aunt Yu glanced at Liu Qingmu, who was burning with jealousy, and she seemed to be mocking and hating iron and steel: "I've seen enough, go back and prepare for tonight's performance! If you don't perform "Mulan" today, your performance There can be more judges!"

Recently performing in Goulan, Liu Qingmu thought too highly of herself, insisting on putting the show at the same time as "Mulan", and wanted to compete with Si Qinghu in order to steal her limelight. There were very few people watching, and they all ran to watch "Mulan".

Aunt Yu became angry when she thought of this, and she was already planning to choose another successor in her heart.Liu Qingmu is so ignorant of good and bad, if he chooses her as his successor, I'm afraid he will not live in peace in his later years!

Liu Qingmu looked away from the many fans of Si Qinghu, and said unwillingly: "Auntie, let's also arrange an opera!"

Originally, Liu Qingmu thought that after Si Qinghu was squeezed out by her, her reputation would gradually decline, and she would have one less competitor.Unexpectedly, since she acted in "Mulan", Si Qinghu has had so many fans of crazy famous families in just one month, and she and Xiao Silang have earned a lot of silver taels for hosting this meeting.What's more, there are many blind merchants who don't know how much silver taels they gave her in order to get her seal printed on their products.

Now the gossip gentlemen in Washeri all agree that Si Qinghu is now the most famous and most expensive geisha in Bianjing, unmatched!

All this is because of opera, Liu Qingmu thought, as long as she also plays an opera, she can compete with Si Qinghu.

"Qingyufang has been in a downturn recently, and I can't stand your troubles anymore. You can go to Master Bai!" Aunt Yu refused mercilessly, and then walked downstairs.

Today, she was curious about what was new about Si Qinghu's meeting, so she came to watch the excitement with Liu Qingmu. She was completely awake. Not everyone can come up with Xiao Tong's idea. Competing with her is simply wishful thinking. It would be nice to live and live in Vasheria for the rest of your life!

Although they have seen "Mulan", they still don't understand what opera is, let alone where can they find a better script than "Mulan"?

The veteran of Qingyufang can't let Liu Qingmu rush around anymore!

Liu Qingmu frantically patted the guardrail beside her. If there was someone as smart and courageous as Xiao Silang by her side, why would this be the case?

Aunt Yu is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, she can only rely on Bai Shu to act in opera.

It's a pity that the idiot Bai Shu was so angry that he had a asthma attack because he planned on others, and he was still lying at home dying for almost a month, allowing Xiao Silang to make a lot of money easily!

When we returned to Xiao's Dental Shop, it was already Shen Shi. As soon as Xiao Tong, Xiao Yi and Si Qinghu stepped into the yard, Xiao Zhen greeted him happily with an invitation.

"Shiro, you are back!"

"Why is eldest sister so happy?" Xiao Tong asked in surprise.

As an eldest sister, she has always been calm and unafraid, and it must not be an ordinary happy event to make her happy like this.

"Of course there is a happy event, please read this invitation!"

Xiao Zhen said, and handed a red invitation to Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong looked at the invitation, and joked: "Is it the invitation for the remarriage banquet between you and a sister?"

Xiao Zhen slapped Xiao Tong pretending to be annoyed, "It's not serious, you dare to play tricks in front of the elder sister!"

On the cover of the invitation card is a painting of an osmanthus tree with a full moon above it, which is obviously an invitation card for a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Xiao Tong opened it, and there were several neat and beautiful regular scripts on it. The content was that the Xiangguo Mansion held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August [-], and invited Xiao Tong to bring all the geisha to perform "Mulan" for the officials at the banquet.

The sudden invitation made Xiao Tong's black pupils full of astonishment, and he didn't understand why.This is probably not like an invitation from an ordinary Si Qinghu fan, who can refuse it just by saying no.

Besides, the Prime Minister of a country, if there is no special meaning, there are so many excellent geisha in the palace priest, why do you have to hire the ordinary ones?

Thinking about Li Yu again, what kind of good man would Mr. Xiangguo be who can teach such a daughter?

"Where is the invitation from?"

Seeing Xiao Tong's frosty face, Si Qinghu couldn't help asking.

"It was Xiangguo Mansion who invited us to perform "Mulan"."

The words "Invitation from the Xiangguo Mansion" exploded in Si Qinghu's mind like thunder on the ground.Her face turned pale all of a sudden.

As soon as she stepped into the inner hall, her legs suddenly softened, and Xiao Tong and Xiao Yi hurriedly supported her in fright.

Xiao Yi said: "Junior Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Tong said worriedly: "Perhaps I'm too tired from today's meeting, I'll help you back to your room first."

"I'll do it alone."

Si Qinghu left these words, and walked towards the backyard as if fleeing from the wilderness.

The three sisters of the Xiao family looked at her back, puzzled.Why did the person who was weak to the point of weak legs become like a frightened kitten when he heard the prime minister's invitation, and ran away in a hurry?

Xiao Zhen pointed to a money bag on the coffee table and showed it to Xiao Tong, and said: "The invitation from Xiangguo's mansion has been sent along with it, it seems that we are definitely going to attend the appointment!"

A light smile flashed across Xiao Tong's face, the people from Xiangguo Mansion are really shrewd.She opened the purse with great interest and took a deep breath.

They are all gold bars, five or six, heavy, about six or seven catties, converted into two, six or seventy taels.

Still gold!

Her heart turned back and forth, she breathed a sigh of relief, and calmed down.

Put the invitation back into the study, and put the gold on it.

Although there is a lot of money, she is not short of this money now. If Mr. Xiangguo is not a good person, he deliberately invited them in order to investigate their beating of Li Yu, and lured them into the house to close the door and beat dogs. She and Si Qinghu Isn't it bad luck?

Or figure things out before making a decision!

Xiangguo held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and invited all officials to watch "Mulan". The news has already spread in Bianjing's bureaucratic circle.

The whole family was very happy, thinking that it was not only a proud honor for the Xiao family to be under the eyes of Mr. Xiangguo, but if they could have a slight relationship with the prime minister, it would be of great help to Xiao Tong's father's unjust case.

So, just after the afternoon meal in the evening, Xiao Tong and Xiao Li accompanied Jiang Shi, walking in the courtyard to digest food, when they heard that Xiao Tong wanted to decline the banquet, Jiang Shi and Xiao Li were extremely surprised.

Xiao Tong explained to them the unpleasant incident with Xiangguo's daughter, worried that Xiangguo was not a gentleman, and took the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge.

Xiao Li immediately burst out laughing, and said, "Silang, you are the majesty of a country, how can you act like a careless street rascal?"

Xiao Tong plausibly said: "Xiangguo is also a father, and we beat his precious daughter. I don't believe he just let it go!"

Xiao Li had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of all this to her.

It turned out that "Mulan" was staged recently, and it was not only popular in the market, but also famous in court.Now it is the severe spring and autumn when Xixia invades the border. The officials and Li Xiang intend to resist and regain the territory that was once occupied, but the conservatives insist on peace talks, exchange money for peace, and try their best to prevent the officials from sending troops.

After watching "Mulan", several enthusiastic students of the Imperial College wrote articles with such fierce rhetoric as Hua Mulan, a mere woman, who went to battle to kill the enemy, and a million soldiers of the Song Dynasty retreated to seek peace, criticizing the peace-seeking faction.Two peacemakers went to Goulan to watch "Mulan" in private because of this, and when they came back, they started to defect to the officials and the prime minister.

Li Xiang's mid-autumn banquet was decided after discussing with the officials. The reason why he invited Xiao Tong to bring a geisha to perform "Mulan" must be credited to Mr. Liang.

Li Xiang was recommended by Mr. Liang's father to come to Beijing. The two have a deep friendship, and they plan to marry their children and marry Li Yu to Mr. Liang, but they haven't made it clear in front of their children.That day Liang Shangshu took Mr. Liang to the prime minister's mansion, and when he mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Mr. Liang recommended Xiao Tong and "Mulan" by the way.Li Xiang has long regarded Mr. Liang as his son-in-law, since he has a good proposal, how can there be any reason not to accept it?

It is said that at the banquet, Li Xiang may use "Mulan" as an excuse to force all officials to stand in line again!

"Xiangguo is a person who does great things, how can he be as small-minded as you think?" After Xiao Li explained, he couldn't help but reprimand Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong muttered: "Who knows! Even if Xiangguo doesn't pursue it, Mrs. Xiangguo won't spare us!"

Jiang also persuaded: "I believe Mr. Xiangguo won't take it seriously for Xiaoen Xiaoyuan. Even if it's difficult for you, as long as you talk peacefully, you'll be fine. It's rare to have a chance to get involved with Xiangguo. Shiro, you still take Qinghu with you." Let them go! Maybe your father's affairs will turn around."

Xiao Tong fell into deep thought, and suddenly worried: "I heard what my elder brother said, this Xiangguo lord set up a Hongmen banquet, will there be blood at that time?"

Xiao Li patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing to do with you when you see blood. What's more, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the reunion festival, and the punishment of disobedient officials will probably wait after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xiao Tong nodded, feeling that Xiao Li's words made some sense.

I thought that before I decided to perform "Mulan", I also learned from my eldest brother that Xiangguo and the government were blocked from sending troops to fight against the enemy. If I want to arrange a drama that can arouse the fighting spirit of the nation, it is best to be appreciated by the court's insightful people .

Now that she is appreciated by Xiangguo, isn't this in line with her expectations?

What's more, in another month, the momentum of "Mulan" is likely to diminish. If you go to Xiangguo's banquet, the momentum will definitely grow out of Bianjing, attracting rich people from surrounding cities to watch, and maybe you can play half more months!

For the sake of fame and profit, let's meet this Li Xiangguo!

On the second day, Xiao Tong summoned Jia Luo, Xiao Yunu, and several other geisha to Xiao's inner hall, and shared with them the good news that they would perform in the Xiangguo Mansion in two days.

After hearing this, they all rejoiced.

In the past, only the geisha of the palace Jiaofang Division were invited to official banquets, and only those who were particularly outstanding could gain the attention of the government.Even Si Qinghu only showed up at the banquets of ordinary officials a few times before.

They are just ordinary geisha in folk Goulan. They never dreamed that they would be invited by Xiangguo, who is under one person and over ten thousand people, to perform opera for many court officials. What kind of honor is this?

This matter has already spread in the market, after returning from the prime minister's mansion, they will receive performances in the future, and their salary will be doubled!

Jia Luo wore a brick-red gauze dress today, which matched her charming and exotic brown-yellow face very well. The tightened belt highlighted her graceful figure.

She sat next to the table, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes blurred, and she fell into imagination, "If this line of work is appreciated by some high-ranking official, just bring me into the palace teaching department! From now on, I don't have to work in the elephant Instead of dancing on your body, you danced in front of the officials!"

Xiao Yunu excitedly said: "I don't want to be a member of the Jiaofang Division. After I come back, I can be the lead singer in Goulan and earn a lot of money!"

Xiao Tong said: "Then you guys should perform well at the banquet, gold always shines!"

While speaking, she looked at the door thoughtfully.

Why hasn't Si Qinghu come yet? Could it be that he was too tired from yesterday's meeting?

She suddenly blamed herself a little bit.Yesterday he saw Si Qinghu's face pale and his legs were limp, but he was so distracted by this invitation that he forgot to greet her. She is really a careless and unscrupulous boss!

Si Qinghu thought about it all night last night, and decided to tell Xiao Tong that she was worried about Li Yu's revenge and was unwilling to go to Xiangguo's mansion.She really didn't dare to bet that Li Zao wouldn't recognize her, and she couldn't guarantee that she would be as calm and composed as usual when she saw Li Zao.

That was her biological father. Seeing him, she would hardly be able to remember the harm he had done to her and her mother. If he showed his flaws, it would not only cause trouble, but even implicate Xiao Tong.

At this moment, she stopped outside the inner hall door, listening to everyone's laughter and laughter, with a painful expression on her face.

She suddenly remembered that this "Mulan" is not about her alone, there are many partners, and Xiao Tong.

In their eyes, it is a great honor to go to Xiangguo Mansion to perform, and it is related to everyone's future and destiny!

How could she say no selfishly?

The author has something to say: Qinghu: What is the experience of performing in front of your own father?
