It didn't take long for the curtain to restart on the stage, the gongs and drums sounded like the wind, and a woman in a strong suit walked onto the stage in a sassy and heroic manner.

The reason why she introduced Huo Feibai and Hu Yang to Qin Zheng was just for Qin Liu, that is, Qin Hao, the second son of the Duke of Liang. Huo Feibai and Hu Yang were suddenly so close to Qin Hao, Qiu Chen was not as naïve as Qin Hao and thought that he had met his buddy brother. Of course, Qin Hao is Qin Zheng's younger brother and the second son of the Duke of Liang's Mansion, she explained what she knew about Huo Feibai and Hu Yang, and she would be considered to have fulfilled her obligations, and if she had any next move, she would not be interested in participating, and she also believed that Qin Zheng could handle this matter properly.

Huo Feibai and Hu Yang were able to grow up as adults in the capital peacefully, and they lived like fish in water, they didn't need to look at anything else, they knew that it was definitely not what they looked like on the surface, one only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and the other was obsessed with business and money...... If that were the case, they would have been dismantled and eaten by now, and there would be no scum left.

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, but his eyes had already left the gap of the screen, and turned to the group of somersaults that had just come on the stage on the stage, and the bright handle seemed to have been put into those action skills. Qiu Chen said what he should say, and he didn't have anything to hide, and he relaxed and hugged Brother Yun, taking care of the children and watching the play.

Qiu Chen motioned to Qin Zheng and said, "The one next to him who is wearing a red silk robe is Hu Yang, the eldest son of Hu Yunchen, the governor of Nu'er. His background is similar to that of Huo Feibai, but he does not live alone in the capital, and his younger brother Hu Chang lives in the capital with him. This person's standard habits are not bad for eating, drinking, and having fun. Intimate correspondence with Hofphil...... I've met the two of them once or twice a few times when I've been out and about. ”

Qin Zheng's face was blank and nodded slightly.

Qiu Chen motioned to Qin Zheng to look at the man in the black brocade robe in the group, and said in a low voice: "That person's surname is Huo, and he is Huo Feibai, the eldest son of Huo Chengzhi, the governor of Liaodi, who has lived alone in the capital since he was a teenager...... This person is not keen on the court, but on doing business and making money...... Before I entered Beijing, this person went to Nanmarsh Lake to buy lotus roots, lotus seeds, and other things, and I met him once. ”

The position where Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen were sitting was close to a screen, and through the hollow carving of the screen, they could clearly see every move of the young man at the table over there.

Qin Zheng and his party were placed here, and the group behind them really did not come to the sides, but went straight to a position in the middle facing the stage, sat down, and then shouted for tea and snacks, and made a fuss for a while before it quieted down slightly.

Qiu Chen was stunned, forcibly resisted his urge to look back, leaned into Qin Zheng's arms, and pinched Qin Zheng's fingers. Qin Zheng shook it back and signaled, and Qiu Chen relaxed slightly. The two tacitly avoided to the side, and the stewards in the theater shed had seen a lot of things, looking at the two groups of people, especially the cousins of the Marquis of Jingbei and his wife, although they couldn't guess, they also saw some clues, and then looked at Qin Zheng's meaning, and after Qin Zheng nodded silently, he immediately bent down and quickly led Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng to an empty table on the right side.

Qiu Chen's heart jumped, and he was about to look back when he heard a familiar voice say unhurriedly: "Xu Jiu's words are a bit too much...... Qin Liu is my brother, and his business is also my business. Even if you let go of your hands and feet today, money is nothing, and you have a brother! ”

Immediately, someone said disdainfully: "Qin Liu, I said that you are too useless, it's been nearly two months, and you haven't won it yet...... I told you, the drama is the same as the prostitute, smashed with silver, smashed in one breath, let him be jade and golden, how can there be anyone who is not obedient, what will happen when the time comes, don't you do it...... Haha......"

I was a little dizzy by his long list of tongue twisters, and in a blink of an eye, three or five young sons and brothers squeezed in from outside, and before they entered the door, someone raised their voices and said: "Today is a jade and exquisite high platform meeting, Qin Liu can cheer up his spirits today and cheer the field well!" ”

Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng to stand at the door for a moment, and the little servant Hangu had already led a middle-aged man dressed in black silk with a shrewd and capable face to hurriedly greet him. At three or four steps away from Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen, one step lower than the two of them, the man in black silk stopped his steps, forced his hands, and bowed deeply with a respectful face: "Master Hou, you are a rare guest, please be safe for your old man, please be safe for your wife, and please be safe for your sons and young ladies!" ”

There were only about 20 tables in the three auditoriums, and there were twenty or thirty richly dressed officials sitting at the tables, and only three or four richly dressed women were scattered around.

This theater shed is much smaller than the previous Guan Po shed, a high platform is set up at the entrance of the color shed, standing at the door and looking in, the layers of audience seats are arranged in a ladder shape, and the front and rear seats are only far away, but they are not blocked by each other. Such a color shed used in a short period of time can do this, and it can also be seen that the attention and strength of this Pan family acrobatic troupe can be seen.

There is a lively martial arts drama staged on the stage, two generals dressed in rigid costumes, carrying small flags on their shoulders, one holding a gun and one holding a halberd, you come and go to fight lively, under the stage, the audience is divided into three pieces with a hollow screen, there are shiny low tables on both sides of the screen, there are many colorful camellias, the table of the audience is placed with just the right daffodils, and I can't see how to keep warm, the whole shed is warm, and the warm breath ripples with the fragrance of narcissus, so that everyone who walks in, I can't help but relax and stretch out, giving birth to the feeling of staying for a long time.

Looking up at the past, just in front of Qin Zheng's inquiring gaze, the two looked at each other and smiled, they were already in the same mind, Qin Zheng nodded and signaled to the little guards, holding Qiu Chen, taking care of the two children of Afu and Aman, and raised his feet into the Pan family's theater.

Acrobatics are generally mixed with juggling tricks, and the repertoire is mostly martial arts and ghost plays, which are not only widely loved by children, but also Qiu Chen loves this more than those who love and love Xiaosheng Huadan plays.

This Pan family acrobatic drama is also very well-known in the capital, and it is the first class in Xisiwazi.

Pressing the inexplicable wisps of grief in his heart, Qiu Chen looked intently at the colorful shed on the side of the road and walked forward. After walking about 100 steps, another tall lantern appeared in front of him, and a string of lanterns above the shed had been lit up, with a few words on it: Pan's Acrobatics!

Qiu Chen turned his gaze back and sighed slightly. Well, she and Qin Zheng have been married for nearly two years, and although they have been separated for most of the past two years, in the process of the two of them getting to know each other with their hearts open, she can be regarded as understanding the character of her own man. This person is actually quite lazy, except for exercises, court affairs, and military affairs, such as food, clothing, leisure and entertainment, etc., they are extremely careless. The biggest advantage of such a man is that he is easy to feed, he is not picky about food and clothing, what meals to eat, what clothes to wear...... The bad part is that I want to go out with him and have fun together, which is really ...... Boring!

Qin Zheng's smile overflowed from his eyes, dyed the corners of his eyebrows, and looked at Qiu Chen and said slowly: "It's not that I haven't been here, it's just that you also know that someone is very familiar with these things, I came out with me, I didn't care about where to go and what to do, and naturally I couldn't say that I was familiar!" ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, pouted, and said, "These are fundamentally two different things, right?" There's nothing wrong with eating, drinking, and having fun, and only by knowing how to relax can you know how to live...... Of course, eating, drinking, and having fun is not the same as eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and the latter two are still exempt! ”

Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at his wife's eyebrows and eyes that had regained their agility, his expression also relaxed, and he said with a slight smile in his eyes: "What? Do you still want to marry a master who eats, drinks and has fun? ”

Qin Zheng may be a person who really doesn't like to be lively, but Yang Jingyong is the one who loves to be lively, these two people were almost inseparable from Meng Meng before, how could they not come out and walk around once?

Looking at Qin Zheng, who had no opinion at all, Qiu Chen relaxed and couldn't help but stare at him with some amusement: "Anyway, you are also a native of the capital, how come you don't seem to know anything...... When you were younger, you haven't been out and around in the past few years since you came back from the north? ”

Because of the previous farce, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng were interested in no longer going to the Guan Pucai Shed, but only picked up all kinds of dance halls and song halls, and watched and stayed in the small singing booth, and gradually, the adults and children let go of their previous thoughts and became happy again.

Looking at the pedestrians on the streets, compared with the civilians who were mostly peddlers and pawns when they first came out, there were obviously more people in gorgeous clothes and surrounded by slaves. No need to ask, Qiu Chen also saw it a little clearly, it seems that the nobles and noblewomen in the capital mostly came out to watch and play in the evening during the days when Guan Pu was open.

The sun is in the west, putting aside the impact of the incident just now, what I see is the liveliness and crowding that has not diminished at all compared to the daytime, the flow of people one after another, laying out crown combs, pearls, heads, clothes, flowers, collars, boots and shoes, and other colorful sheds on both sides of the street, and the dance halls and song halls are lined up, a lively and extraordinary scene.

Qiu Chen nodded, beckoned the two children who were also surprised and couldn't come back to their senses, walked through the Guanpu greenhouse together, and continued to walk forward.

"Let's go!" Qin Zheng wrapped his arms and said in a low voice.

In the blink of an eye, looking in the direction where the ancestors and grandsons were going, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng nodded, and in a blink of an eye, the little maid Yanyun silently lowered his hand, and his body was as flexible as a swimming fish, passing through the crowd and going in the direction of the grandfather and grandson.

Qiu Chen had a question in his heart, he couldn't understand whether the moral code of modern people was too broad, or the laws of this era were too strict?!

In other words, any modern person would condemn the words and deeds of children who disobey their parents, but it is absolutely unacceptable, and just this is condemned as an unforgivable sin equivalent to 'rebellion and rebellion'!

The reason why she felt horrified was not that she couldn't bear that person to be questioned for 'unfilial piety', but that she once again truly perceived the difference between the rules of the world and the one she was familiar with. In modern society, there are also many unfilial children, and more children who do not fulfill their maintenance obligations under various pretexts, and do not return home for a year or even a few years or more than ten years...... In that case, some parents could not bear to resort to the law, but only to sentence limited alimony, and those elderly people took a pitiful amount of alimony, and faced the hatred of their children.

Qiu Chen shuddered slightly, then slowly raised his head to look at Qin Zheng, barely held up a smile, nodded and said, "I know, I understand." ”

Frightened and cold, Qiu Chen's face turned pale, and he felt a slight sense of dizziness. Qin Zheng handed Brother Yun to Qin Li to hold, stretched out his hand to hug Qiu Chen, wrapped his wife in his own big coat, and said in a low voice of relief: "That person is self-inflicted...... If that person is not punished, the fate of the old and the young ......! ”

Qiu Chen was suddenly stunned. This means that once the charge of 'disobedience and unfilial piety' is confirmed, this person has committed the two major heinous sins, and there is no possibility of pardon or renegotiation. Qiu Chen may not understand the other 'ten evils', but the charges of 'rebellion' and 'rebellion' are familiar and familiar, and these crimes are often followed by 'Zhulian Nine Clans' and rivers of blood. It is conceivable that the punishment for this crime of 'disobedience and unfilial piety' must not be light, or it will not involve relatives, but I am afraid that one life will be confessed!

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then explained: "This person has committed the two heinous crimes of 'unfilial piety' and 'evil rebellion' by beating his mother. ”

Qin Zheng glanced at her and said lightly: "Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, immorality, great disrespect, unfilial piety, disharmony, injustice and civil strife are the ten evils. It is forgiven by constant forgiveness. ”

Qiu Chen stood at the door of the greenhouse, watching this scene fall, and in a moment, the crowd resumed bustling and going their own way. She turned her head slightly stunned and asked, "Disobedience and unfilial piety, how to punish the crime?" ”

The old lady pulled her granddaughter to go again, and no one persuaded her to do anything, but took the initiative to open a way for them to let the grandparents pass, and at the same time pointed out the direction for the grandchildren!

The middle-aged man stammered when asked, simply ignored it, flicked his sleeves, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and left.

The old lady turned her head blankly, looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What this eldest brother said is so rude, it's my son, how can I not ask?" If my son is gone, how will I live with an old woman and a granddaughter? Where is there a way to live? ”

When the old woman heard that she had been locked up by the servants, although she did not know what the crime of disobedience was, she instinctively became afraid, and hurriedly beckoned her granddaughter to help her up, trembling and about to chase after her son. A middle-aged man next to him couldn't stand it, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't look for it, that rebel son beats his mother and sells his daughter, where is there still a little bit of humanity...... Leave him alone, take your granddaughter home and live your life! ”

The girl winced for a moment and replied in a low voice, "My father was locked up by two servants...... said that someone accused him of disobedience and unfilial piety! ”

The old lady sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, then shook her head with a sigh of relief, raised her hand to wipe her granddaughter's tears, and asked at the first point: "Where is your father?" ”

"Grandma, grandma, are you alright?" The girl asked urgently.

The little girl trembled and followed out of the shed in fear, and when she saw the old woman who had not yet risen on the ground, she hurriedly rushed over and called for the old lady to help the old lady up, and the old woman did not know whether she fell hard or kicked hard, her face was pale, her forehead was broken, and a stream of blood came down from her forehead, overflowing the tail of her eyebrows, and falling on her cheeks......

The two messengers shook the iron chains in their hands impatiently, and they didn't know what to do, the man was caught in the middle and suddenly silenced, and the people next to him couldn't see why, just watched the man grasp the chain on his neck with both hands, his face was swollen and red, his breath was short, and his legs were desperately chasing the footsteps of the two messengers, and he didn't dare to fall at all!

The man nodded subconsciously when he heard the first question, and suddenly heard the latter sentence, which frightened a spirit, and hurriedly defended: "Poor master, you must have been mistaken, I didn't kick my mother, how could I kick my mother......"

One of the officers turned around impatiently and kicked him, and said viciously, "What is wrong, did you just kick your mother?" Someone sued the government office for your mother, accusing you of being unfilial! ”

"Bad big brother, bad master, the little one didn't commit a crime, did the poor master misunderstand......" The man asked stumblingly, holding on to a glimmer of hope.

It's just that this man never dreamed that as soon as he pulled his daughter out of the door, two servants rushed up like wolves, shook the iron chains in their hands, and dragged him away.

As he spoke, the strong man who had just pulled the man out surrounded him from both sides. When the man looked at the two men, he couldn't help but remember the pain he had just fallen...... It was as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart...... Subconsciously, the man shuddered, squeezed his smile distortedly, and retreated again and again, all the way out of the shed. Of course, he hasn't forgotten his daughter...... He doesn't care so much about his daughter, it's just that in his eyes, his daughter is the only 'object' that can be sold for money. There is no human trafficking here, some are human trafficking...... Xisiwazi is nothing else, that is, there is no shortage of goulan kilns, and naturally there is no worry about pulling his own flower-like daughter in exchange for silver!

The steward waved his hand impatiently, "I said, we don't do human trafficking, go, get out!" ”

Where is the man willing to go, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of the steward's clothes, and bargained repeatedly: "One hundred taels is not much...... Hey, fifty taels is fine...... Twenty taels, twenty taels is really not much, how handsome my girl is! In another two or three years, even the top brand of Xisi Wazi can't be compared......"

The steward's face was cold, he glanced at the trembling girl with a colorless face, and said with contempt: "Just like this, you can pay a hundred taels of silver?" …… We are here to buy goods, not to do human business, you go elsewhere! ”

"Hey, my daughter, I'll use her to pounce...... One hundred taels of silver! The man found the steward who had closed the shed and asked urgently.

The person who had just breathed a sigh of relief that the man had relatives to find him was immediately shocked by what he saw. The man kicked the old woman away and dragged the girl into the shed.

Qiu Chen frowned, and Qin Zheng's face, which had always been soft, also turned cold.
