Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

Mr. Liang obviously came prepared, he had inquired about Si Qinghu's performance today from Xiao Li before he came to Xiao's tour at night.

When Xiao Tong asked Si Qinghu, she saw that her face was calm, and she agreed indifferently, as if Mr. Liang was not someone she liked.

She arranged for Si Qinghu and Mr. Liang to meet in the reception courtyard, and asked people to prepare some tea and fruit plate.

As for herself, she was sitting on the rehearsal stage in the backyard with anxiety, her legs were hanging under the stage, and she occasionally swayed a few times.

Xiao Li stood beside her happily.

"How did eldest brother become friends with Mr. Liang?" Xiao Tong asked curiously.

Xiao Lidao: "Silang doesn't know something. Recently, Mr. Liang has been released from office, and he is working as a secretary in Kaifeng Mansion just like his elder brother. Don't think he is just a small secretary now. His father is the minister of the Ministry of punishment. In the future, he will be promoted. Lu is beyond the reach of big brother. We have to rely on him for our father's affairs."

Xiao Tong said: "Then do you have an idea now?"

Xiao Li said again: "Recently, the imperial court has changed. Almost all the senior officials in the court have changed. Only the father of Mr. Liang is still in the position of Minister. Kaifeng Mansion has almost changed from the governor to us. Fortunately, your eldest brother stayed with the right person. Do you know why?"

"Is it related to the death of the Empress Dowager?" Xiao Tong asked casually.

She didn't care much about politics. She only knew that last autumn, the current emperor's grandmother, the empress dowager, who had been listening to politics behind the curtain, passed away in old age, and the whole Bianjing was silent for seven days.

In the Song Dynasty, the so-called new school of reformers and the old school kept fighting, Feng Shui took turns, you sing, we come on stage.The Empress Dowager is of the old school, and during the ten years that she listened to the government behind the curtain, the officials of the old school gained power.But the young officials seem to disagree with the queen mother's political views.

Xiao Li said again: "The official family has been in charge for half a year, and it has long been seen that the conservatives in that dynasty are dissatisfied! The old prime minister was dismissed a month ago, and a new prime minister has been worshiped recently. He is a reformist, but he is a powerful person!"

Xiao Tong became very interested. Politics and literature are closely related. It might be beneficial for her to listen.

It turns out that today when the young man succeeds to the throne, when the Empress Dowager is behind the curtain to listen to the government, the courtiers only know the Empress Dowager. Whenever they come to court, they only need the Empress Dowager to ask and make decisions on major and minor matters, and they don't pay attention to the officials.After the official family was 14 years old, the situation remained the same.

Today, he wanted to uphold his father's will and practice the art of reforming and strengthening the country, but because he has been ignored for too long, he has a grudge against these ministers.So the empress dowager passed away only half a year ago, and he swept the old school officials out of the capital.

"What about Xin Xiangguo, what's so great about it?" Xiao Tong asked.

Xiao Li was full of praise and said: "That's incredible. It is said that Xin Xiangguo won three yuan in a row. The officials asked him to stay in the central government, but he asked to be ordered to be a county magistrate in other places. Later, he was transferred to Hangzhou as a prefect for more than ten years. His political achievements are well-known. After the Empress Dowager passed away, the officials called him to the capital for an inspection, and he became Prime Minister only half a year later, and he is only 36 years old now!"

After Xiao Tong heard this, he was also amazed. The 36-year-old prime minister is enough to amaze the world, and he is still a three-yuan winner!

In addition to reforming the economy, the new officials have also made changes in diplomacy.In the past, when wars started in frontiers, they relied on donating New Year's coins to seek peace with grievances.Today, the Zhengzheng Xixia invaded the border, and the officials and Xin Xiangyu fought hard.However, having suffered too many defeats in the past, the morale of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the common people was low, and the voice of ceding land for peace was louder than calling for war.

This has brought a lot of resistance to the official New Deal.

Xiao Tong listened, and his thoughts drifted to the matter of opera involuntarily. It would be a good thing if he could make an opera that could rebuild the confidence of the people in Song Dynasty to resist the enemy.If you are lucky enough to be appreciated by officials or high officials in the court, it may have contributed to the spread of this drama.

"Father's case was tried by people from the old school. Now that there are newcomers, they are eager to find the stains of the old school and bring them down. Father's case is their best weapon. So when the eldest brother tries again, he will definitely pay back. The family is fair." Xiao Li said.

The topic revolved around going home, Xiao Tong pulled out of his thoughts, and said: "Brother, you will have to work hard on daddy's affairs."

Suddenly, she remembered that Si Qinghu and Mr. Liang had been talking for quite a while, and since arranging for the two to meet, she was worried whether Mr. Liang would behave like an animal, because Si Qinghu rejected him and acted mischievously.

She quickly jumped off the rehearsal platform and walked to the backyard.

As soon as she walked outside the arched door of the courtyard, she saw Si Qinghu standing up, and Mr. Liang immediately took her hand, begging her not to let her go.

Xiao Tong turned sideways, hid by the wall and peeped, it might be a quarrel between young couples, first observe and observe.

In the courtyard, Si Qinghu and Mr. Liang also talked for a long time.Mr. Liang has been apologizing for listening to Aunt Yu's words and redeeming Si Qinghu to become a concubine. Si Qinghu said that the past is the past, so don't take it to heart.Mr. Liang actually thought that she was duplicity, Si Qinghu suddenly felt bored and wanted to leave, but was held back by the other party.

Si Qinghu paused, then turned around, tried his best to suppress his temper, and said politely: "Young Master Liang, don't do this."

Mr. Liang let go of his hand, walked in front of her, and said again: "I know you are blaming me for not being able to give you a title. Now that I am out of office, I will definitely make a difference in a few years. At that time, my father will not be able to stop me , I can give you a title. Please don't alienate me because of this, we will go back to the way before, let me visit you every few days."

Si Qinghu suddenly felt exhausted, it must be that people from Qingyufang spread rumors everywhere, insisting that she didn't want to follow Mr. Liang because she didn't have a status.

She sighed, calmed down her emotions, and said calmly: "Young master Liang, listen to me. In fact, I refuse you to redeem me, not because of my status, but because I have no love for you at all. It caused Liang The young master misunderstood Qinghu's fault, so we should not meet alone in the future."

After finishing speaking, Si Qinghu left.

She thought that she followed the etiquette every time she met Mr. Liang, but she just thought that he was knowledgeable, and she could hear many different opinions from him when discussing poetry and books.

He also once stated in front of her that he only wanted to be an official and plead for the people, and he didn't care about the love of his children.

She believed it, and whenever he visited Qingyufang, she would receive him.After all, people in their line of business drink a few cups with guests and chat for a while, and they are rewarded. Since Mr. Liang has shown that he has no intentions for her and they can chat with each other, she shouldn't call him every time. Shut it out!

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang broke his promise and thought she liked him too.She is not the kind of person who procrastinates. Since she has no intention, she will never leave room for Mr. Liang, so it is better not to meet alone in the future.

Mr. Liang's young heart was shocked, it was unbelievable, how could Si Qinghu not like her?

So he went after him again.

Xiao Tong listened to everything and finally understood that Si Qinghu didn't like Young Master Liang.

When she realized it, Si Qinghu had already come out and found her, "Why are you here?"

The face of the person in front of him was not very good, Xiao Tong felt guilty and panicked, "I... I didn't hear anything!"

Si Qinghu didn't blame her, he was angry because of Mr. Liang's bad complexion.

She wanted to continue walking, but Mr. Liang chased her out again, seeing her standing with Xiao Tong, he was short of breath for a moment, thinking he understood why, he said in disbelief: "So you like Xiao Silang?"

Damn!Xiao Tong almost jumped up, she and Si Qinghu hadn't stood here for three seconds, Mr. Liang's brain power is really good!

Si Qinghu was so angry that he looked at Xiao Tong, his face flushed, "I... how could I like Xiao Silang?"

The voice was angry, and only she felt a little lack of confidence.

For some reason, when Mr. Liang questioned her liking Xiao Silang, she felt hot all over, as if she had poked something deep in her heart.She looked at Xiao Tong, just as Xiao Tong was also looking at her, her eyes met, she was so guilty that she ran away quickly.

Xiao Tong knew that Si Qinghu didn't like him very much, so what Mr. Liang said was no different from Liu Qingmu and others who maliciously slandered Si Qinghu.

She angrily said to Mr. Liang: "It's too late for Qinghu to hate me, how could he like me? Are you all right, Mr. Liang, how uncomfortable it must be for her to say that?"

Mr. Liang also knew that his love was rejected just now, he was a little ashamed, he couldn't restrain himself from slandering others, he felt impolite, and after apologizing repeatedly, he was still invited out of Xiao's company by Xiao Tong.

In the middle of the night, under the candlelight, Xiao Tong sat in front of the desk and wrote his thoughts on opera.

Today's big brother and big brother's conversation played a enlightening role.

Now that Xixia is invading the border, the officials and the new prime minister are determined to resist, but because of the long-term defeat of the dynasty, the lack of morale of the army and the people, and too many voices for peace, they are helpless.

If it is possible to make a war-themed opera, spread it and promote it, and if the effect is good, it can completely boost the spirit of the people.

She picked up the brush and wrote the words "War, Women, Martial Arts" on the paper. She pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized that she wrote the word "Mulan" under these words.

She put down the brush and held up the white paper with wet ink, her hands trembling slightly with excitement.

I've been reading books and looking for stories for days, and now I've finally settled down.And this story is already a well-known big IP in this world.

Then adapt "Mulan Poetry" into a novel to warm up, and when the opera is released, it will not lose money by taking advantage of the popularity.

As for who would write the novel, she didn't even have to think about it, she just went to her eldest sister Xiao Zhen!

It was decided to go to Xiao Zhen tomorrow, she was planning to rest, when suddenly the sound of pipa came from the half-open window, intermittent, it sounded sad and sad.

Xiao Tong walked to the yard and looked at the pear tree next door with its branches sticking out, the music was coming from there.

She is unhappy?

Is it because of Mr. Liang's words?

Could it be that she is still so unbearable in Si Qinghu's heart?Because of the misunderstanding that she likes her, it made her feel so uncomfortable?

My heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and it was very uncomfortable.She walked under the pear tree, clung to the branches and climbed up. She had just climbed to half the height of the wall when she suddenly stopped.

Is it really okay for her to spy on people like this?
