Chapter 231 The god of drama and the general

When I came out of the house of Gallis, it was already late at night and everything was silent.

When Zhou Chengye went out, he brought a big cart and a group of children, but now he has all been sent away, but it makes him feel relaxed.

These days, it is a happy thing for someone to receive gifts.

Although the parties have already been settled, after all, they are now the Silu of Qianniuwei Mansion, and they are not ordinary people, so when they return to the other courtyard near the West City, they did not spend much more time.

After entering the house, Zhou Chengye saw Yang Yuyao sitting at the dining table waiting for him. Niannu and Xiaoshutong, who had always been sensible, had long known where to hide.

At this time, it is a world of two people belonging to Zhou’s wife and daughter-in-law.

Yang Yuyao smiled and said, "Why did you come back so late today? The food has been hot again. If you don't come yet, I have to shout the chef to make a new table for you!"

Zhou Chengye approached Yang Yuyao, gently hugged her in his arms, then buried his nose in his wife's hair, and sniffed it hard.

"Wife, have you ever thought about your husband in the past six months?"

"I don't want to! You are so heartless!"

During the Tang Dynasty, there was no popular title of husband and wife between husband and wife, and it is currently only a secret between Tuesday and his wife.

"I worked so hard, not for you."

"Then you may not have to go out of the frontier. It makes people worried, afraid that you will encounter any danger!"

"Your husband is Wenquxing in the sky. Wuquxing descends to earth together, and he is very lucky. Who dares to touch me!"

That day and night, the couple talked endlessly, and they lingered in the morning until the beginning of the night, and then they hugged each other and fell asleep.

After it was dawn, people in the mansion went to the ground one after another, doing what they should do. Some started to boil water and cook, some started mixing ingredients and feed horses, some practiced swords and sticks in the yard, and some left the mansion and went out to buy vegetables that were only on the shelves in the western market in the morning.

Niannu stayed quietly in the backyard. When he saw someone approaching, he waved his hand and signaled, meaning that the head of the family was still sleeping soundly, so don’t disturb his good dreams.

Shutong Chengzhi quietly touched him and asked in a low voice: "It's already time, are you still sleeping?"

Niannu patted Cheng Zhi's forehead with his hand and whispered, "Talk too much! What do you care about? Hurry up and go and read the book, be careful that the master will ask you if you ask me!"

"The books that the master left for him have a large box, so where can I finish reading them?"

Cheng Zhi immediately showed a bitter look on his face and left with a muttering look.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the master bedroom in the backyard was finally pushed open from inside. On Tuesday, he stretched out.

Without giving instructions, Niannu immediately brought steaming water, facial towel, toothbrush and tooth cup.

Zhou Er started washing up quickly, but Niannu stood aside and refused to leave.

"Master, when you go to Shanzhou in the spring, can you take Nunu with you?"

Zhou Chengye vomited white foam all over his mouth and asked curiously: "Is Chang'an not good? Why are you thinking about going to Shanzhou with me?"

"Everything is good in Chang'an, but Nunu doesn't like Chang'an without a master!"

"Isn't there any mistress?"

"My mistress actually wants to follow you to Shanzhou..."

"Well..., let me think about it. Why don't you go there to cool off when it's hot and come back when it's cold?"

"Okay! OK!" Nian Nu jumped three feet high.

"Oh, I've been spoiled by all of them." Zhou Tuesday sighed helplessly as he looked at the cheerful Niannu.

"No! If I can't follow the master, I can't hear the nice tunes you sing casually. If I can't hear them, I can't remember them, and I can't learn them."

It turns out that when he was in the mood on Tuesday, he often hummed some songs that he would sing in his previous life, including pop songs, military songs, and even English songs. Although what he sang was very different from what the singers in the Pear Garden built by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was not fashionable or elegant, but it was better because of its uniqueness and freshness and fluency, which often made Niannu and Yang Yuyao feel intoxicated.

Niannu is the number one singer in the future Tang Dynasty. Although she is still young now, her natural good voice has shown extraordinaryness, and her sensitivity to rhythmic syllables is also amazing.

However, Niannu in this life may still achieve amazing achievements in the field of singing because she met Tuesday, but she may not be singing the original songs.

Yang Yuyao, who walked out of the room a little later, listened to the conversation between the master and servant, suddenly thought of something, so she walked to Zhou Er and said, "Erlang, it's time to invite a teacher for Niannu."

Actually, I had already thought of this on Tuesday, so I nodded and said, "Well, it's time to invite a good teacher with superb music skills for our little Nunu! But what kind of person should I invite? Why don't I go and discuss with the emperor and invite everyone from his pear garden to come back?"

Yang Yuyao shook her head and said, "This is not good! Niannu is a lotus that comes from clear water, and she is born with a good voice. She should not be influenced by the style of a pear garden musician, but should grow naturally according to her own preferences."

Niannu also said on the side, "Miss Mother has gone to Nunu's heart. I heard a martial artist born in Putian in private mention that in their area there was a very clever musician who could play different roles and play various instruments, especially at playing a flute tube called "生花". The master might as well invite him to Chang'an!"

When Zhou Chengye heard the word "六文", his eyes suddenly lit up.

It is because this squid is a special instrument in Putian, Fujian, and most people can't play it at all. When he went to Nan Shaolin Temple in his last life, he had the honor to come across it and heard the tour guide's introduction, saying that this squid is very famous and was once one of the specialties of the god Lei Haiqing in the Tang Dynasty!

No matter which place the tour guide, when introducing local celebrities to tourists from other places, he naturally wanted to say something. When introducing the drama god Lei Haiqing, the tour guide also mentioned that after Lei Haiqing was selected into the palace by Li Longji, he once recommended a clan brother to Zhang Xun, one of the "Tianbao Shuangzhong", who was named Lei Wanchun.

This Lei Wanchun was a powerful general who fought against An Lushan's rebels during the Tianbao period. After dying for his country, he was praised as "Majesty of Weilai Zhongjing". Later generations even enshrined him as Prince Lei, calling him "General Thunder Exorcist". He was also named "Santiandu Qiansui" and "Leifu Qiansui" among the people in Taiwan.

Tuesday was from a rank of a troop and was not very interested in the drama god, but he was still very interested in this powerful general Lei Wanchun.

In the last life, Zhou Chengye was born in the Sanqin land and was an old Shaanxi. However, the Zhou family in this time and space are from Min County, Fuzhou, less than two hundred miles away from Putian. If we talk about the region, the brothers Lei Haiqing and Lei Wanchun and Zhou Chengye are still fellow villagers.

Thinking of this, he asked on Tuesday: "Is the musician who is good at playing fish and fish mentioned by Niannu, named Lei Haiqing?"

Niannu shook his head and said, "I only heard He Fusheng say that the man's surname is Lei, but I don't know the specific name."

Zhou Chengye thought to himself that his surname is Lei, and he is good at playing tricks, so he can match the number. So he immediately asked someone to call He Fusheng to ask, but He Fusheng really replied that this person was named Lei Haiqing.

After hearing this on Tuesday, he was overjoyed and immediately said to He Fusheng: "You will go to the inner treasury to withdraw 2,000 guan. I will give you a few months off and ask you to go back to Putian to visit your family. By the way, help me invite this Lei Haiqing to Chang'an! You must remember that you can't use strong."

He Fusheng was shocked. It would be fine if he had his holiday on Tuesday, but he actually had 2,000 guan of travel expenses for visiting relatives at one's own move. He hurriedly said: "It's not enough. Even if you spend money to invite Lei Haiqing to Chang'an, at most a few hundred guan is enough. I'll bring 1,000 guan back!"

What He Fusheng said is the truth. Don’t listen to Lei Haiqing being called the God of Tang opera in the later generations. But when he was alive, especially before Li Longji was recruited into the Liyuan, he was just a musician and actor in a local opera troupe. He is a lower-ranking class in terms of identity, and his status is incomparable to the current Zhou family.

On Tuesday, the polite and polite person invited Lei Haiqing to Chang'an, which was equivalent to a later generation of a young master from the capital who kindly invited a pillar of a local opera to develop on the ground of the capital. Such treatment would definitely attract Lei Haiqing to come.

"Isn't it a shame to bring more money back? This time I not only want to invite Lei Haiqing to Chang'an, but there is a brother in his clan named Lei Wanchun, and you also bring him back to Chang'an. This person likes to study and is a Confucian scholar. You just need to tell him that he has come to Chang'an and I will help him study in the four schools!"

He Fusheng was not as generous as Tuesday, so he had to rush to his hometown with a worth of 2,000 yuan worth of gold and silver.

After seeing off He Fusheng, Zhou Chengye sat in the study and recalled carefully, and finally remembered the names of several other powerful generals who died with "Tianbao Shuangzhong" at that time.

Tianbao Shuangzhong refers to the fact that after the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tianbao year, two local officials led by Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan led more than 6,800 officers and soldiers who were temporarily gathered together were defended in Suiyang and confronted 150,000 rebels for half a year. At the end of the battle, the rats, sparrows and snakes in Suiyang City were eaten up by the defenders, and only more than a thousand officers and soldiers were left because of hunger and were unable to fight again. Suiyang City was eventually captured.

When Suiyang City was broken, Zhang Xun and his generals Lei Wanchun, Nan Jiyun, Yao Xun and 36 others were killed by the rebel commander Yin Ziqi, and Xu Yuan was also killed on the way to Luoyang. Zhang Xun died at the age of 49 and Xu Yuan was forty-eight.

After Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan died, they were called "Shuangzhong" by the people and were widely worshipped as gods in various places.

Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan were both Confucian generals, and they were Jinshi in the Kaiyuan period. Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun were the two most powerful generals under Zhang Xun's command. Among them, Lei Wanchun was also both civil and military, but Nan Jiyun was born as a ferryman on the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhou Chengye is already planning to go to Shanzhou to guard the most dangerous Suirong City after the beginning of next spring, so he naturally thought of recruiting several super powerful generals as thugs for himself. Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan have now entered the government, so it is still a bit troublesome to recruit, but Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun are relatively easy.

Especially Nan Jiyun, who is probably still fishing and ferrying on the banks of the Yellow River at this time!

ps: Let me say it casually: Now you know why the first volume is called "Be a Lingnan Man forever"?
