The Sang Family Wazi is the most lively among the many tile trays in Kaifeng Prefecture. It is located at the intersection of Panlou Street and Maxing Street, not far from the Imperial Palace.

Although it is located in the most golden area of ​​Kaifeng Prefecture, the Sang Family Wazi was opened very early and it existed at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, so it occupied a large area. In the tiles, wine plaques fluttered and shops were everywhere.

Two large roads paved with gravel that can accommodate two carriages in parallel are crossing the Sang family tile, forming a crossroads, and there are trample on both sides of the road. The so-called trample is equivalent to a theater in later generations. It is a shed to shelter that shelter is surrounded by wind and rain, with a wall on all sides and a door on one side for the audience to enter and exit. The door is usually pasted with colorful paper lists called "Zhaozi" or "Crafts" to preview the performance to the audience. Some trample doors also have decorations or performance tools such as "flags, account numbers, magic frames, and backrests" to attract more. There are stages and audience seats inside the trample. The stage is generally higher than the ground, and the platform entrance is surrounded by railings, which is why the name of the trample is obtained.

The programs performed in the brothel are also diverse, including zaju, history, palace tune, puppet show, movie play, hybrid and puppet show. The most popular ones are zaju, which is zaju, which is harmonious puppet show.

The so-called zaju is an opera. For example, the two dramas "The dealer does not know the brothel" and "Han Zhong Lidu gets out of the blue and Caihe" have been performed in various schools in Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time.

The Zhugong Tunes are a kind of rap, usually composed of two parts: rhyme and prose, and the performance is performed in a way that is singing and speaking.

The audiences faced by zaju are mainly people from the market, and the actors are also men and women, old and young. The audiences of the Zhugong Tunes are relatively high-end, mainly literati, and most of the performers are singers. Not only are there special hangs in the tile tiles and alleys used to perform the tile tunes, but most of the female tunes (prostitutes) who are engaged in the 72nd floor of Kaifeng and in various brothels can also sing the tile tunes. Many literati and bureaucrats are also proficient in the tile tunes.

Chen Youwen, who just returned to Kaifeng Prefecture in shame, was also a scholar who liked Zhugong Tunes. He had a concubine who was good at singing Zhugong Tunes. He was named Gao Zhenzhen. Like Feng Erniang, he was from a brothel. Unfortunately, Feng Erniang made a fortune, gave birth to a son, and transferred to a large house. Gao Zhenzhen served Chen Youwen for fifteen years, but he had no son or half daughter, and the Chen family had a big wife in charge...

However, Chen Youwen likes this concubine who can sing music, even though she is not young, and she is very fat - not plump, but fat! She is also a mature woman, and her figure and appearance cannot be compared with Feng Erniang.

But Chen Youwen just likes this fat man, Feng Erniang, and he still looks down on him!

After returning to Kaifeng Prefecture, he was not in charge of the board of directors, so he took this "old concubine" around the wazi all day long, listening to the songs, and was so kind of a person who was just waiting to die.

The weather is clear today, the wind is bright, and it is a good day for shopping. After Chen Youwen got up, he took "Gao Pangpang" (it was originally named Gao Zhenzhen. After he became fat, Chen Youwen often called her Gao Pangpang) and went out and headed straight for the Sang family's Wazi.

When he arrived at the tram called "Three Pass" that he liked to visit most on weekdays, he saw a crowd of people before he even reached the door.

Chen Youwen said: "Zhenzhen, who is on the stage of the three-passing tram today?"

"It seems to be Yan Qiqi."

"Yan Qiqi? It sounds familiar..."

"It's Yan Qiqi, who is the one who can do the best, went to open Yihongyuan."

It turned out that the old lover of Liu Wuji was on stage today in the third pass. She was really popular back then, but she was not reserved enough and was too coquettish, and she got the reputation of being the best. However, she enjoyed it. Later, she opened Yihongyuan in the north wing of the city and became a madam selling meat, becoming a laughing stock in the brothel world, and became a famous person.

Chen Youwen frowned slightly, "She won't be dirty on the third pass, right?"

"How is this possible? This is an inner city. She is not afraid of being caught and went to Kaifeng County to beat the board?"

"That's right, why are there so many people here?"

Gao Pangpang said: "Master, don't guess, let's go and have a look."

“Okay.”

Chen Youwen nodded and squeezed into the crowd with Gao Pangpang. After entering, he realized that the people who were crowding here did not enter the tray, but hugged outside the tray and looked at the several "paper lists" posted on the wall. There were also a few people who looked like idle men, and they squeezed a stack of tricks in their hands and sent them out, and one of them even gave Chen Youwen two.

"This is……"

Chen Youwen took out one of the tricks and was surprised after just taking a look.

The trick is drawn, to be precise, a bust of a beautiful woman is printed. Although it is just a line drawing, the simple lines outline a lifelike portrait.

These facial features, beautiful hair, and expression are simply vivid!

"Isn't this Li Shishi?" Gao Pangpang and Li Shishi were naturally familiar with each other, but they just glanced at her husband and immediately recognized her.

That's right, this is Li Shishi!

Chen Youwen also recognized Li Shishi. He looked closely and found a piece of text printed on the right side of Li Shishi's portrait. The general meaning was that on December 20th before the New Year, Zhao Xiaoyi's "Photo of Li Shishi" and Wu Haogu's "Dance of Mo Niang" will be sung by Zhao Xiaoyi on the bottom floor of the middle building of Fengle Building on December 20th. In addition, there will be calligraphy and paintings of famous artists, which will be sold in Fengle Building together...

Wu Hao Gu!

Wu Haogu again!

This trick must have been stereotyped based on Wu Haogu's paintings?

All the printed ones are so good, what should the drawn ones look like?

In addition... the words on the trick seem to be from Wang Xianzhi!

Of course, Wang Xianzhi died long ago, and it could not have been written by himself. But those who can imitate Wang Xianzhi's words to this level are probably not ordinary people, right?

Also, who is Zhao Xiaoyi?

He can paint Li Shishi, and can also hang Li Shishi's paintings to sell, and his surname is Zhao... This "Zhao" is definitely not Zhao Tieniu's Zhao, but most of them are Zhao Kuangyin's Zhao!

Who is this person?

Could it be...Duanduanduanduan Zhao Ji?

Thinking of this, Chen Youwen was suddenly panicked. Kaifeng Mansion could not stay there, and it would be a death if he stayed there!

Just when Chen Youwen was thinking about selling his property and fleeing to another place immediately, someone suddenly called him: "Isn't this Chen Jiangshi? Are you going to find you?"

Catch me?

Chen Youwen was also guilty and said "finding" was "catching". He thought it was the chief official of Kaifeng Prefecture who brought someone to capture him, the "Liangshan bandit". He didn't care about his concubine Gao Pangpang, and turned his head and ran away. I don't know if he was panicked and ran in the wrong direction, and collided with the man who called him.

The man was almost knocked over by him. Fortunately, there was a follower beside him to help him, but the man was not angry and still asked in a slight voice: "Chen Jiangshi, what's wrong with you? Even if you haven't seen him for many days, you don't have to throw yourself into your arms like this?"

Then Chen Youwen looked at the person in front of him. It turned out to be Liang Shicheng, the noble man in the palace.

Chen Youwen hurriedly saluted: "Official Liang, I didn't stand firmly below and slid..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Liang Shicheng smiled and waved his hand, "I'm looking for something to do with you."

"Looking for me?" Chen Youwen was stunned. He was not from the Hanlin Painting Bureau now. What could Liang Shicheng do to him?

Liang Shicheng smiled and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, so let me do it."

...

When Liang Shicheng and Chen Youwen met, Wu Haogu was pulling the bow. A soft bow played with by a child was pulled away by him, and he threw it away with a feather arrow, then shot out with a swish, hitting the bull's eye more than a dozen steps away, but the arrow did not pierce into the wooden target, but bounced open and landed gently.

"It's quite accurate, but I'm a little less force..."

Tong Guan frowned and said, "Chongdao, you don't have enough strength, you still have to practice."

Wu Haogu shook his head and laughed: "Brother Gangfu, I have a lot of strength, but it is not the strength to pull the bow, but the strength to hold the pen."

Tong Guan frowned. Wu Haogu obviously had no interest in practicing martial arts. He fished for three days and laid the net for two days. It was rare to come to Qionglin Garden in the west of the city to practice with him. Fortunately, he didn't really want to train Wu Haogu into a military officer, just to ask him to become familiar with the military, so that he would not draw irrelevantly at that time.

"Well, okay," Tong Guan shook his head, "You can shoot a few arrows... Now I will ride my horse back to the city with our family and practice equestrianism."

Wu Haogu's equestrian is better than archery. After all, after walking to Haizhou, I basically rode my horse along the way, so I can practice it.

At that moment, the two of them rode a horse out of Qionglin Garden, walked east along the Bian River, and soon entered the outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture.

On the way to the inner city along Bianhe Street, Tong Guan said seemingly unintentionally: "Chongdao, Chen Youwen is back."

Chen Youwen?

This guy didn't die in Hengshan... By the way, the battle of Hengshan was a great victory in the Song Dynasty, and no one died at all.

"Oh." Wu Haogu just responded, not saying anything.

He had actually asked someone to inquire. Zhao Tieniu had sold his property and went to Liangshan. However, this matter did not involve Chen Youwen...

Moreover, Chen Youwen is an official or a civil servant now... it is not easy to kill him.

"I heard that you two have some holidays?" Tong Guan asked.

Wu Haogu smiled, "There is no small matter."

"That's good." Tong Guan smiled, "Tell me, I'll tell you, this time I'm a member of Liao, and I'll go there in the name of the Hanlin Painting Bureau."

What?

He also went to Liao Kingdom?

This is pretty good!

Wu Haogu sneered in his heart, but he was still calm in his face, "He is a waiter, so he is... "

"You go in the name of a military officer," Tong Guan said, "and don't use the name of Wu Haogu, you can use the pseudonym Pan Xiaozhong."

Tong Guan is an old spy. He has been to Liao Kingdom many times and is responsible for collecting intelligence. Naturally, he has already thought of an infiltration plan.

Although Wu Haogu has not become famous for a long time, his fame has risen rapidly, which will inevitably attract the attention of the Liao people. Therefore, Wu Haogu must not be allowed to use Liao as his real name.
