Did the salted fish turn over today?

The date of the first test is set to be five days later. The Ritual and Music Department will set up a stand outside the gate of the Imperial City of Kyoto. At that time, all the luthiers who signed up will compete there. The oracle practiced for more than a month, and then the auspicious day was calculated by Si Tianjian, and the final display was held on the stands. Under the witness of the people, the best one was selected to enter the Ritual and Music Department to perform the oracle.

The matter of registration has been settled, but you can't sleep on the street. Kyoto is the political center of Dachen, regardless of the economy, but the consumption level is really not low.Even though Wu Yichen had done psychological training, he was still intimidated by the outrageously high accommodation fee.

According to Wu Yichen's original plan, he originally thought that after entering the capital, he might be able to earn some money by performing on the streets, but now the capital is full of musicians, let alone performing arts, even if you play casually on the side of the road, no one will listen to you.

While Wu Yichen felt sad that he didn't have much money left, he began to think about how to make a living. Even if he couldn't make a lot of money, at least he had to wait for him to win the competition. As long as he could survive two rounds of screening, he didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who could play better than him. piano!

The Department of Taile, the main hall of the Department of Rites and Music.

Tan Zhengcheng stood respectfully beside the table, and the first high-ranking prince was looking at the list he had received.

Liu Yuan chatted with him one after another, and checked the list with his right hand, and sure enough, he found a very conspicuous dog crawling word "Wu Yichen" on the list, Liu Yuan couldn't help smiling, Tan Zhengcheng didn't know him Why did he laugh and was about to ask, Liu Wang asked: "When will the first test start, and everything has been arranged?"

Tan Zhengcheng hurriedly replied: "The first test is scheduled for five days later, and the stands have already been set up. Zhang He from the music workshop and Liang Xunge from the dance workshop are responsible for the selection of the first test." He paused before continuing, "The second round The selection will be carried out by the head of the Music and Dance Erfang, and the third round will be selected by the subordinate officials and the deputy head of the courtyard, Mr. Ning."

Liu Yuan nodded clearly, then changed the topic and asked: "Master Tan, where did you transfer Li Le Si Ran to be the head of the academy?"

Tan Zhengcheng was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "The lower officials were not transferred from other places, but came up step by step from the musicians of the band."

"Oh!" Liu Yuan feigned surprise and sighed, "It must have been a very difficult journey from the musicians of the band."

Tan Zhengcheng said hurriedly, not daring to say, "This official is all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. If it weren't for His Majesty's grace, this official is still a little musician, how could he have the status he has today."

Liu Yuan stood up and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "The position of the Rites and Music Department is embarrassing, even if he has an official position, it is hard to look up to. Mr. Tan can eat so hard, and he will have a bright future in the future."

Tan Zhengcheng agreed and sent this powerful prince out of the house.

Wu Yichen on the other side visited all the post houses in the capital, and found that the only thing he could afford was this simple official post.Seeing that it was getting late, more and more people gathered in the official post, and the rooms were getting less and less, Wu Yichen finally stopped hesitating and approached the gate of the post to book a room at the counter.

"Hey! I'm sorry, young master, our last shop has just been booked, and it's full!" The shopkeeper looked apologetic.

Wu Yichen's face suddenly collapsed: "Is it really gone? It's okay for me to squeeze with others!"

The shopkeeper explained: "I'm really sorry, there are a lot of people in Kyoto these days, and you can see that my little place is so crowded that I really can't squeeze out the room."

Wu Yichen still wanted to beg, but he heard a clear young voice behind him: "Shopkeeper, he will share a room with me."

Wu Yichen turned his head and stared at Wen Bai, and heard the shopkeeper cheerfully say: "That's a good relationship! Anyway, your room is a room for two people, why don't you two jointly rent it?"

Wen Bo snorted, "I'm not short of his money."

Wu Yichen said angrily: "You!!"

"Come with me if you want to stay, stay here if you don't want to stay!" Wen Bai turned and went upstairs after speaking, Wu Yichen wanted to leave, but looking at the dark town outside, he gritted his teeth and followed upstairs, anyway, he didn't want to pay for it himself, Can't help but be in vain!

Wu Yichen followed up to the second floor and found a room door was open, so he walked in unceremoniously.

"There is a bed next to it, just pack it up and sleep by yourself, don't bother me." Wen Bo said lightly, "Just to remind you, this is my room, if you don't follow my rules, I'll throw you out. "After speaking, he raised his fist as if threatening, drew the curtain and went to sleep.Wu Yichen made a funny face at his back, closed the door behind his back, and got into another bed.

Almost all the people living in the post house are musicians, Wu Yichen accidentally mentioned this to Wen Bo, Wen Bo rolled his eyes at him and said: "The status of musicians is not high, they don't have any money, and many of them came from long distances. , of course I will choose the lowest consumption." Wu Yichen couldn't help but recall that when registering in front of the Taile Office, although the musicians looked proud, they were obedient to the recorders, presumably because of their social status The reason is not high.

Although Wen Bo said that this was his room, in fact he didn't stay here for a long time. Instead, Wu Yichen turned his back on the guest and stayed in the room all day these days.

Early in the morning, someone was practicing the flute in the dining room downstairs. Wu Yichen ran out with a steamed bun in his mouth, and watched with a group of musicians who got up early.

Suddenly there was commotion at the door, Wu Yichen looked towards the door, and saw a handsome man in plain clothes and white clothes, walking in with a qin on his back, and said softly to the shopkeeper: "I booked the room a few days ago. "The shopkeeper looked it up in the roster.

Wu Yichen noticed that as soon as that person appeared, everyone was discussing in whispers, even someone around him said: "Why is he here?" His tone was full of disgust and impatience.

Wu Yichen asked curiously: "Who is that person?"

The person next to him looked surprised: "You don't even know him?"

Wu Yichen shook his head innocently, and the person on the other side told him kindly: "This is Mr. Qingzhu. In the past, he was the number one player in the South Hall of Kyoto, famous for his piano color!"

"South Pavilion?" Wu Yichen tilted his head and asked, "What's that place?" The man looked at him speechlessly, and then he heard someone coolly asking in his ear, "What are you doing so clearly? Do you want to go?" ?”

Wu Yichen turned his head angrily, and it turned out that Wen Bai had returned. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and then heard a gentle male voice say: "Please let me go."

The two turned around, and saw Qingzhu carrying the qin, smiling at them with the key in his hand, Wen Bai glanced at Qingzhu up and down, and turned back to the room without saying a word.

Wu Yichen quickly apologized: "I'm sorry!"

Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled deeper, saluted Wu Yichen, and then walked into the room next to them.

late at night.

There were still people practicing playing in the post house, Wen Bo tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep, and sat angrily in the hall, clearing away the teapots and cups, tinkling.

Wu Yichen, who was opposite, was innocently affected, opened the curtain and yawned, "It's midnight, what are you doing!"

Wen Bai was furious, Wu Yichen was startled, and helplessly shouted: "Brother! I will sleep if you don't sleep! Can you be quiet?"

"Sure enough, it's a pig!" Wen Bo snorted coldly, "You can still fall asleep after arguing like this!"

Wu Yichen was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and he didn't care about whether he was a pig or not, as long as he could sleep and become a pig, he would become a pig.

Wu Yichen agreed: "I'm a pig, I'm a pig, can you make a pig sleep?"

Wen Bo groaned and rolled his eyes, Wu Yichen leaned against the bed board and was about to fall asleep.

At this time, in the room separated by a wall, there was a sudden loud bang, Wu Yichen, who was dozing off, jumped up in fright, hit the top of the bed again and was bounced back to the bed, hugging his head and howling.

As soon as he lay down, he could hear the movement next door more clearly. Qingzhu was yelling something in a hurry, and the tone was obviously wrong. One pushed back on the bed with force.

Wu Yichen asked angrily, "What are you doing?!"

Wen Bo asked him back, "What do you want to do?"

Wu Yichen asked anxiously: "Can't you hear any movement next door?" As if to respond to his words, at this time Qingzhu called for help, Wu Yichen became more and more anxious: "Go and save someone!"

Unexpectedly, Wen Bo didn't care, instead he sneered and said, "What do you know, whoever came out of the south hall is not experienced in many battles, maybe they came here to find business, and if you go, it will ruin their good business."

Wu Yichen was stunned for a moment, as if he understood what the south hall was for, but the movement next door really didn't seem like your wish.Wu Yichen didn't care about arguing with Wen Bai, stomped his feet and said: "No matter where he came from or what he does, as long as he doesn't want to, then he can't!!" He opened the door and ran out.

Wen Bo was baffled by his yelling, and he didn't want to bother him at first, but thinking of Liu Yuan's explanation, he was afraid that he would be beaten if he failed to succeed, so he had to go out with him.

Wu Yichen knocked hard on the door but no one paid any attention to him, Wen Bo dragged him away and kicked the door open.

In the room, several men surrounded Qingzhu and were tearing his clothes. There was blood flowing from Qingzhu's forehead, which seemed to be injured.

Wu Yichen yelled: "What are you doing!" Wen Bo said "tsk", went up and kicked everyone to the ground.

Wu Yichen rushed over and dragged the person behind him to protect him, Qingzhu hurriedly gathered the messed up clothes, Wen Bai's fighting power was amazing, he beat up those who wanted to resist with three or two blows, and he didn't forget to slap them hard after beating them Said: "Hurry up and get out!" The group of people were beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces, and they hurried out without stopping.

Wu Yichen turned around and asked Qingzhu: "How are you? Are you okay?"

Qingzhu raised his hand to wipe away the blood flowing from the corner of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, thank you all."

Wen Bo folded his arms and leaned aside, watching Qingzhu coldly and not speaking.

Wu Yichen pulled Qingzhu to sit down, looked at the blood on his head, and said worriedly: "It's bleeding, the injury must be serious, do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

Qingzhu smiled and shook her head: "It's just a small injury, it's okay."

Wu Yichen said angrily: "Don't worry, you stay next door to us, if someone harasses you in the future, we will beat them away for you!" The words were said with ease, and Wen Bo, who was in charge of the effort, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Qingzhu was amused by him: "Thank you, people like me are a troublemaker..."

"If you know you're causing trouble, don't go where there's a lot of trouble!" Wen Bai said in a cool tone, and Wu Yichen quickly turned his head and gave him a look.

Qingzhu didn't care much about his words, and explained helplessly: "I'm already 28 this year, and I've been abandoned in the south hall for a long time. This is a good opportunity. If I can go to the Rites and Music Department to make a living, I'll take it as well." There is hope for half a lifetime."

Wu Yichen clenched his fists to cheer him up: "I heard that you play the piano very well! Don't worry! You will definitely have a better future!"

Qingzhu nodded lightly, lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, she had to admit that this former South Pavilion leader was indeed very good-looking.Wu Yichen quickly withdrew his staring gaze, stretched out his hand to pull Wen Bo who was leaning against the wall, and said, "Then let's go first!" After saying that, he ran out the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Wen Bo shook his hand vigorously, and said loudly: "I have no skills, so I like to meddle in other people's business! And let people rest assured that 'we' will beat people away! If you have the skills, you can kill them yourself Run away!"

Wu Yichen also acted like a rascal: "I'm giving you the opportunity to do good things! You have to cherish it, you know?"

After speaking, he returned to the room with his head held high, leaving Wen Bo standing at the door, so angry that he wanted to beat someone.
