Chapter 43: Preparing for the Temple Fair

As soon as Sima Tan came out of Sima Nan's room, someone told the Ten Princes about Sima Tan's whereabouts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Ten Princes asked Lin Ruochen next to him suspiciously: "What is he doing in his grandfather's room?" ”

"Everyone has their own private affairs, and the Ten Princes should give him the right to keep secrets!"

"Aren't you curious?"

Lin Ruochen shook his head, "I'm not curious!" ”

The Ten Princes pouted: "It's not that you're not curious, it's that you can calculate what they say!" ”

The Ten Princes expressed their dissatisfaction, and did not hide his childishness in front of Lin Ruochen.

"You haven't practiced properly in a few days? Since you have the energy to think cranky, why don't you go with me......"

"Oops!" The Ten Princes stood up and covered their stomachs, "My stomach hurts, I need to go to the thatched house." ”

After the Ten Princes finished speaking, they ran out, and Lin Ruochen shook his head helplessly when he saw this.

Where does he have time to care about whether the Ten Princes will learn or not, he is most concerned about Sima Nan's movements at this time. It's been a long time here, but he doesn't know Sima Nan's true strength yet. I don't know how many horses he has, how much gold is piled up in his warehouse?

Just when Lin Ruochen was thinking about how to speak, Sima Nan sent someone to invite the three of them to participate in the temple fair in the city.

A temple fair is held in the city every year, and Sima Nan, as the city lord, is naturally the organizer and leader. Of course, all the expenses of the temple fair were also from Sima Nan's hands. The venue is the street in front of Sima South Gate, and the event will start tomorrow and last for a total of seven days.

"What is the main purpose of the temple fair?" Lin Ruochen asked Sima Tan, he thought that Sima Tan had lived in the local area for many years, so he would naturally know more about the things here.

"Every year, the temple fair is mainly held for young people, they go to the street to buy a beautiful lantern, and when they see the girl they like, they give her the lantern, if the girl also likes men, accepting the lantern is accepting him as a person. The beautiful girl left her address, and when she got home, she just waited for the man to come to the door to propose. ”

Lin Ruochen looked at Sima Tan with a smile, "Big brother must go to the street to have a look, maybe a girl takes the initiative to give you a lantern." ”

"What are you kidding? Am I such a casual person? Sima Tan's serious appearance instantly amused the Ten Princes, he had never seen such an interesting side of Sima Tan.

After the joke, Lin Ruochen then asked Sima Tan: "Isn't there any other program at the temple fair?" ”

"Yes! Jugglers, songwriters and storytellers, dragon dancers, ......"

"No, no, no!" Lin Ruochen interrupted Sima Tan: "I'm talking about Sima Nan, what is he doing at the temple fair?" What benefits can a temple fair bring him? ”

Sima Tan thought for a moment, "He shouldn't have any direct benefits, right?" At most, more people know him, and nothing else, after all, everyone can participate, and there is no fee. ”

Is that really the case? Lin Ruochen didn't believe it, he felt that Sima Nan must have some other purpose in holding the temple fair. As for what the purpose is, I'm afraid we won't know until the temple fair begins!

"Ahh I remember! Sima Tan patted his head: "Every year, Sima Nan will enter the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors on the first day of the temple fair, and then have a dinner with the stewards who came over from all over the country to participate!" ”

"That's right!" Lin Ruochen smiled: "Take this opportunity to get together to report on the work, reward and punish some people, and mobilize some people." As for how much he was in charge, I'm afraid none of you will know, because there were so many people that you couldn't see it in the crowd. ”

Sima Tan was puzzled, "How much do we care about him?" What does it have to do with other people? ”

Lin Ruochen explained: "Of course it matters, through the management of contact with him, you can roughly judge how much human and financial resources he has, and you can know how wide his sphere of influence is." ”

Lin Ruochen is very much looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow, and he believes that tomorrow will be very rewarding.

The next day, as soon as the sky was white, Sima Nan ordered someone to hand Lin Ruochen a piece of clothing, a very, very ordinary dress. The clothes were made of coarse cloth, and there was no pattern on them, and the cloth was dyed cyan, which looked simple and generous. One point worth commendating is that the workmanship of the clothes is good, and the stitches are very uniform, which is not something that ordinary people can make.

Lin Ruochen was a little excited when he saw this, it seems that Sima Nan will definitely let himself see something different today. So Lin Ruochen quickly changed his clothes, and after going out, he saw Sima Tan in the distance, and found that his clothes were exactly the same as his own.

Sima Tan pointed to the clothes on his body and complained, "What kind of clothes are these?" Sima Nan is also too stingy, everyone is handsome and chic, but we dress up so ordinary. ”

"He's probably afraid that you'll seduce the girl here, so there's one more bachelor here." Lin Ruochen laughed and quipped, which aroused Sima Tan's strong dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you ask me to find you a sister-in-law? Why have you changed your mind now? ”

Lin Ruochen shook his head: "I haven't come yet, I'm in a hurry!" ”

When the butler saw the two of them standing here chatting, he hurried over and invited them to the hall. Walking into the hall, Lin Ruochen found that the Ten Princes had already come here first. As for the clothes on his body, they are too different from those on Lin Ruochen and Sima Tan.

If the clothes on Lin Ruochen and Sima Tan are ordinary among the ordinary, then the Ten Princes are the luxury of luxury. Not to mention that the gems on his headband are invaluable, even the rubies on his belt are rare in the world, and it is difficult to buy them. The clothes are made by the best textile institute in Jiangnan, and ordinary nobles are not qualified to even look at it, let alone buy it. The pattern of rust on the clothes is even more special, neither like a lion nor a dragon, but if you look closely, you can see that it looks like a lion and a dragon. The embroidery technique is still rusted on both sides, if Lin Ruochen is not mistaken, this dress can be worn on both sides.

"Wow! Why is the treatment so bad, it seems that outsiders are still outsiders after all! Sima Tan blurted out, Lin Ruochen wanted to stop it too late.

Sima Nan waved his hand indifferently, "I have prepared good clothes for you, but you won't be able to wear them until the evening." For now, it's better for you to keep a low profile. ”

Sima Tan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Lin Ruochen.

"Today is very important, let's listen to the arrangement of Sima City Lord!"

Sima Nan nodded with satisfaction at Lin Ruochen, this is what doing big things should look like.

Sima Nan took the hand of the Ten Princes, Lin Ruochen and Sima Tan followed, and the group opened the door and walked out.

After going out, the Ten Princes were stunned, because there were as many as a hundred guards waiting for them at the door. All the guards were dressed in armor, with large knives in their hands, black masks on their faces, and black turbans on their heads.

Seeing Sima Nan come out, hundreds of guards quickly moved out of the way, and it took less than ten seconds before and after.

Lin Ruochen was really shocked this time, I don't know who trained them, judging from their skills and speed just now, I am afraid that they have reached the point of invincibility.
