Since he was released by Beihai Town in February, Enhai returned to the capital in May. Although the errands of the Firearms Battalion stopped, Enhai still attacked a first-class viscount and Yunqiwei. His family also had farms and several shops outside the city. Although the family had dozens of people, his life was still acceptable.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, news came out of the court that the Beijing camp would be doubled, and Enhai and others saw hope again. Because they came back from the north, there was no contempt chain. Everyone was stirring the noodles in the same pot.

After getting up and having breakfast, I checked the accounts on the farm and the two shops with the housekeeper. It was almost noon. Enhai then changed into casual clothes and took a long suit and went out with him.

Enhai has a white flag inlaid, and his family lives near Dongdan Archway. Not far south of the door is Chongwenmen. The master and servant walked for a while, hired a carriage in Chongwenmen and headed towards Qianmen Street.

After the middle of Qianlong's reign, teahouses inside and outside the capital were everywhere, mainly concentrated in places such as Chongwenmen Gate in the east and Xuanwu Gate in the west; there were more than 100 places. Among them, the most famous ones were "Tianquanxuan", "Yushunxuan", "Gao Mingyuan", "Donghongtai" and so on on Qianmen Street. Because it is close to the six major theaters, from around lunch to before the theaters in the evening, some large teahouses can sit for four or five hundred people to chat at the same time.

The carriage stopped at the door of "Tianquanxuan". Enhai and others lifted the curtains, and the coachman put down the footstool, and then got off the car in a big way.

Tianquanxuan has a big door face, with two pillars more than two meters high at the door, and a horizontal arch is placed in the middle, which looks like a single archway. The horizontal archway contains three huge characters "Tianquanxuan", and the signature is "Tongshan Stupid Weng".

"Oh! Master En is here. How many of you are here today?" The guy at the door saw Enhai coming and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Qian'er. Enhai has been here for many months and has become a regular customer.

"Our master made an appointment with a friend and found a private room." Enhai's Changsui said with a smile.

"Okay! You, please come in."

Under the guidance of the friend, the master and servant entered the teahouse. They were facing each other. They walked around the back cabinet and passed through the waist bolt (the aisle), and then they actually entered the teahouse.

Tianquanxuan is famous. Not only is the store exquisitely furnished, but there are often literati and poets here who come to sing opera and storytelling. At this time, the teahouse is full of people, eating melon seeds and sneezing, teasing birds and fishing, and you can't hear it.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse was still as clean as ever, wearing a small black bumps with six tiles, a blue cotton coat that reached the feet, a white cuff that was raised by the dragon, and a snow-white hand (towel) on his shoulders, and was lying around. When he saw Enhai coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, and personally led him to a secluded corner, separated by screens around him.

In this era, most of the teahouses in the capital were tables of Eight Immortals and large benches. The shopkeeper said he wanted to change two round chairs, and Enhai waved his hand and said he didn't need it. Since he experienced life as a prisoner, he was not as overly particular as before. At this time, the guy came over with a blue and white porcelain beam lifting pot and a blue and white porcelain cover bowl.

According to the old rules, the pot was filled with Junshan Silver Needle. The water in Yuquan Mountain in the capital was relatively hard, so although there were all kinds of tea in the teahouse, the locals still mainly drank flower tea. The price of tea varies from big to new tea with one or two silver taels of silver. The shopkeeper ordered his friend to take two plates of snacks and some dried fruits from the side of the steamed bun shop, and then he smiled and bowed to leave.

Outside the screen, several tea guests were talking about Wei Changsheng, which made Enhai's ears stand up.

"Have you heard that? Wei Saner is on stage in Guanghelou today."

"Huh? Didn't he not let him sing? Why did he dare to appear on stage?"

"You are all the old calendar last year. What you don't want to sing is the Western Qin Opera. Wei Wanqing (Wei Changsheng ranked third, with his name Wanqing) now sings Kunqu Opera."

"Well. What's going on Guanghelou tonight?"

"Of course! I heard him sing "Iron Lotus" the day before yesterday, it's so satisfying!"

At this time, there was a sudden noise in the teahouse, and it seemed that some amazing distinguished guest had arrived. Enhai said to Changsui: "Let's take a look."

Changsui came back soon after going out and said to Eunhai: "Master, it's Wei Wanqing who is here."

After the usual period, Enhai would definitely go out to say hello to Wei Changsheng and chat a few times; but he made an appointment today and was an acquaintance, so he had to wait patiently.

Not long after, a figure swayed outside the screen, and a strong and burly man in a long sauce gown was taken by his friend. Enhai didn't get up and smiled at the visitor, "It's too late today, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The other party was serious and just bowed, saying, "I've delayed something."

The person who came was the official Bao of the Inlaid Blue Banner. The two of them who had no temper could not even pee together, but they had a good relationship in the days of the prisoner camp in Furdan City. Since returning to the capital, they have gathered together to have a tea every now and then.

"My man, let me give you a bowl of rotten noodles first." Guan Bao sat down and ordered the guy.

"Okay! Master, please sit for a while and you will bring it to you later."

When the guy left, Enhai asked with a smile: "Why? I'm so busy that I don't even have to eat?"

Guan Bao said: "I went to the Ministry of War early in the morning. Good guy, I lined up from the door to East Chang'an Street. I was so hungry that I was touching my back." After that, he picked up a piece of snack and started eating.

Enhai shook his head and smiled, "I asked you to go before the festival, but you just didn't listen. I won't talk about the expansion of the Beijing camp, just talking about the five big sailboats and hundreds of cannons, how big is it! Tsk tsk, we guys have no friendship with the Zhongtang, so why can we do a good job?"

The two chatted for a while, and the guy brought the noodles. Guan Bao finished his mouth with a big mouthful, drank half a bowl of tea, and then said, "It's Lord Qing's aide to come to me."

Eun Hai's face changed: "Do you still want to go to the north?"

"Yes, I can't swallow this tone. If I don't fight them with a clear sword and a sharp gun, I'm sorry for so many brothers who died."

"Oh! What's the point of telling me to tell you!" Enhai pointed at Guan Bao with a fan and scolded him: "You were defeated in the east, but I could see clearly in the south. This battle cannot be fought!"

"You have to fight if you can't fight! Lord Qing is right. If you don't take action, our ancestral grave will not be kept in a few years!" Guan Bao put down his teacup and looked at Eunhai and said, "I know you have a good relationship with Eleventh Master. With him to protect you, I won't let you go to the north this time. But after I leave this time, this family will entrust you to you."

Enhai said anxiously: "What are you saying? What are we in love? Brother, listen to your brother's words, don't rush forward. The musket is not eye-catching. How is your mother's health?"

"It's still the same thing, and it's not good after taking a few doses of medicine. The doctor I invited said that this was a heartbreak and was in a hurry."

"Then you still go?"

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are hard to achieve both loyalty and filial piety. For the sake of the court, I can only do this." Guan Bao was silent for a while, rubbed the teacup and said slowly: "I will set off at the beginning of next month, and I will first build the city after I arrive, and I will be in the middle of the spring next year. This time, it will not be a small fight with tens of thousands of people. Magistrate Fu is rectifying the green camp in Shandong. I heard that he will also be transferred."

Eunkaido: "How did Lord Kyung arrange it for you?"

Guan Bao said: "Deputy General, follow the Ming army's command to listen."

"Okay, then I will use tea instead of wine. Congratulations to my brother for his promotion. Don't worry about everything at home, I will help you take care of it."

Guan Bao was just a general in the past. Although he was defeated and captured, he was a rare person among the Eight Banners generals who returned to the north and were not afraid of being beaten by Zhao Ni. He often shouted to reorganize the army and fight again.

Qinggui heard that when the Eastern Route Army was bombarded, he did not retreat in a hurry, but remained calm in the face of danger and tried to appease the deserter; so he called him.

"What about you? What's the arrangement?" Guan Bao put down the teacup and asked Enhai.

"Damn it! I feel angry when I think of this. A few days ago, I thought about transferring to Hangzhou. I spent money and found someone, but it was ruined again!" Enhai sighed and said, "I can only stay in the Beijing Camp. I guess I am still a general."

After saying this, he suddenly leaned over to Guan Bao and whispered: "Have you heard it? Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs suggested to the emperor that the ransom silver be deducted from our salary."

Guan Bao frowned. He knew that Enhai was more informed than him and asked, "Oh? I have never heard of this. The court is short of money now?"

"Why aren't there?" Enhai counted one by one with his fingers: "Henan has a severe drought, Beijing camp has expanded, bought boats, and made cannons, which one is not a splash of water? I heard the old pictures of the Ministry of Revenue complaining in the first two days, at least this number."

After saying that, he stretched out his two fingers and gestured.

"Two million?" Guan Bao had just finished speaking, and then he reacted and said that it was less.

"Twenty million!"

"Hiss!" Guan Bao took a breath and said, "Hezhongtang is really worth it now. Where did he plan such a large sum of money?" He said that since Heshen went to Hunchun in person and brought back all the captured soldiers, his reputation among the people of the capital has risen, and many people are thinking about his good deeds.

Enhai curled his lips and said, "Barring! If others don't say anything, can he be short of money? His family is richer than the palace!" He looked around and then whispered in a low voice: "Have you heard of it? Now the best things in the world are all in his house, and the second-handed ones enter the palace."

Guan Bao said in surprise: "There is still this?"

Eunhae said: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to the Eleventh Master's Mansion to pay my respects, and I heard from the eunuch in the mansion."

"Tell me." Guan Bao was also a little curious and asked quickly.

The eleventh Master Enhai mentioned was Qianlong's eleventh son, Yongrong. In the first few years, the eighth princes, Yongxuan and Yongrong, accidentally broke a jade plate displayed on the table in the palace. The jade plate was green and one foot in diameter. It was Qianlong's beloved thing. It was extremely precious. Yongxuan was so scared that he almost cried when he got into trouble. Yongrong was young but was quite anxious. After thinking about it, he said to his brother: "I heard that Heshen's family has many treasures and antiques, so why not go find him to think of a solution."

So the two brothers found Heshen. Heshen heard that he had broken the Jade Plate and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Two masters, this kind of treasure is tribute to overseas, and it is not our own, and there is no way for me." The eighth prince heard that the Jade Plate was tribute to overseas, and was even more afraid of Qianlong's strict delivery, so he couldn't help crying again.

Seeing Heshen’s intention, Yong Yan pulled him to a secluded place and whispered that he would keep it secret. Heshen nodded and said to the Eighth Prince: "I will search slowly. Whether I can find it is unknown. I will reply to the two masters tomorrow."

The next day, the two brothers came to Hefu as promised, and Heshen took out a jade plate from his arms. The color of this jade plate was bright and had a diameter of one foot and five, which was better than the broken jade plate. The two brothers thanked them very much, and entered the palace with the plate and quietly put them back to their original place.

Enhai finished speaking in a low voice and instructed the dumbfounded Guan Bao: "You guy must be rotten in your stomach, don't tell the others. If it weren't for our friendship, I would definitely not have told you."

The two were chatting about some of them in the screen. On an Eight Immortals table outside, several people were chatting about the vocal style of opera.

"The Bangzi is not a serious thing now, but the Yiyang tune is commonly known as Yangzhou Bangzi. When Kunqu opera was popular in the past, this tune was only sing zaju. Its tune is easy to learn, with the beginning and end, and there is no difference between the north and the south, and there is no turning point and complexity. One flute is played horizontally, and one or two mouths can be heard. Although there are many tunes, such as "Blowing Cherry", it is authentic. In addition, "Visiting Relatives and Screaming" and "Widows Visiting the Grave" are also the changes in tune. Most of them are flutes, and they are different from the four-pair tunes of the strings and the four-pair tunes of the strings and the Bangzi."

The man who spoke was not tall, about forty years old. His head grew into two pointed date pits, his face was thin white pockmarked, his nose was bumpy, his eyebrows were shaved, his shabby chin was always in the same place, and his hair was only as thick as chopsticks and a braid.

With this look, if you don’t know him on the street, no one would guess that this person is the master of the “Flower Division” who was once famous in the capital and was known as the “Wild Fox Leader”, Wei Sanwei Changsheng.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone here clasped their hands and praised: "Wanqing's words are insightful. In the past, Wei Dan'an said that when he was drinking, Heshuo was magnificent and new songs were rising. After the dance, the sound of the gangster sounded, and the sound of Qin fell into the Guangling tide. Isn't this just the Western Qin sang?"

Wei Changsheng bowed and said, "My views were all guided by Mr. Yucun. He once said that the sings are equal to Qin Opera, and there is no rhythm, but he does not use bang and flutes as a different ear. This is very effective in Shu. I really feel ashamed!"

Another person here said: "Mr. Yumura has been separated for several years, and I don't know what's going on now."

Wei Changsheng smiled and said, "I happened to write a letter a few days ago. The gentleman said that he now lives in Wanjuan Tower, and he will see the victory of Pingquan every day, and look at the mist and paint the map of Wangchuan. How happy it is."

"Wanqing, I heard you plan to go south to Yangzhou?"

"I originally wanted to go back to Sichuan to visit Mr. Yucun, but coincidentally, Master Jiang from Yangzhou sent someone to invite him. I also thought about it. The world is three-point bright moonlit night, and two-point rogue is Yangzhou. I can't stay in the capital!"

"Oh, the capital's Pear Garden is too boring when you Wei Wanqing's departure!"

Since last year, Western Qin Opera (this Qin Opera is not a later Qin Opera, which combines the elements of Sichuan opera) has been banned from performing in major theaters in the capital. The infantry commander's office issued a notice, stating that the capital can only sing Kun and Yi operas. If you don't want to change it, then you can change your career! If you want to continue singing, then you will be escorted and sent back to your hometown.

The reason here is very simple. The water in the Liyuanxing is too deep! The correct statement is that the Shuangqing tribe is too popular, especially after Wei Changsheng joined the class to take on the main role. There was a flirting saying that if you don’t watch the "Shuangqing tribe" when watching the show, it would be useless no matter how many Kun and Yi are.

Why is the Shuangqing tribe popular in the capital? It’s not because of Wei Changsheng’s “Roll Tower”.

Unexpectedly, after this was heard, the other "six major departments" (Wangfu, Cuiqing, Dacheng, Yuqing, Yuqing, Baohe) were completely offended. The six major departments sang Kun and Yi styles, with elegant tunes, and there were many support from royal relatives and powerful people. So these jealous people took the opportunity to speak out, saying that the "Roll Tower" was mostly about love affairs between men and women, and that there were too many "following operas" in the performance, which was really infuriating.

Although he was a peer-in-law, there were indeed many "follow opera" elements in Wei Changsheng's plays, so he had to leave the Shuangqing Department sadly. In the past, no matter how good the actors sang and the great reputation, he would be nothing after leaving the stage. Therefore, Wei Changsheng sometimes went to the Beijing Kunyi class to sing educational dramas that praise loyalty and wisely.

At this time, there were fewer and fewer guests in the teahouse. Wei Changsheng was sighing with regret. Suddenly, he heard someone humming. He had never heard the tune before, and the content of the lyrics was also filled with sadness.

Although the two humming voices were not high and their tone was swaying, who was Wei Changsheng? He was stunned after listening to a few sentences. In front of him, there seemed to be a brand new opera door waving to him faintly...

"Come to the street, and listen to the guests and friends passing by. One is not a sound horse and a bandit, the other is a bad person stealing the city... I can't bear to leave the great master's kindness, I can't bear to leave the yamen runners. I really can't bear to leave the neighbors and my good friend, I can't bear to leave my mother white. My mother gave birth to a child, and my mother was worried about her journey thousands of miles away. She couldn't bow her head, but she wanted to leave her tears... "
