Chapter 217: A Heroine Among Women
Inside a tea shop.
"Hey, have you all heard? Zhou Li Dabi, this is a rare event in several years, it is said that the Holy God himself gave the venue, which is quite grand. ”
"What? Is it a place given by the Holy Father? How I haven't heard. ”
"Hehe, this is gossip, and I don't know if it's true or not."
"It's true." An insider got up, with smugness in his mouth, and raised his voice: "You don't want to think about it, what kind of place is Suzaku Gate?" That's the palace gate, huh? Who can compete there? ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
"And," the man's voice grew louder as his tone shifted, "you probably don't know yet, do you?" On the day of the competition, the Holy Lord also arrived. ”
"Shhh
Everyone in the room gasped.
"The Holy One has arrived? Oh my God, it's a big deal. ”
"It's not, it's just that the only regret is that Zhou is not there." The man sighed, "I don't know why he was put on death row." ”
"It's really a pity, since Zhou Juma dares to come down, he should have a way to deal with it, and you don't know about his strange inventions."
"It's useless now, he's been arrested. I think this competition is equivalent to smashing yourself in the foot. ”
Everyone was a little pity.
Zhou Jinyan has also been in the limelight recently.
Everyone knows that he married Princess Changle, but he was deceived and married a Linchuan princess.
In the Chang'an upper-class society, maybe he became a joke.
But in the market, most of the ordinary surnames are sympathetic to him.
At the same time, another restaurant.
A drunken strong man said: "I heard that Princess Linchuan paid thousands of dollars to find a master to compete." I think it's a great opportunity to make a fortune. ”
"Li Dazhui, you."
Soon someone hit him without hesitation, "General Li's fierce generals are like clouds, pick two people at random, can you be an opponent?" ”
"Don't put yourself in it for the money. If you can't win, Princess Linchuan will lose face, can she spare you? ”
The drunkard also lost his words after drinking, was said twice, woke up halfway from drinking, and sat down with a few muttered words.
"Brother, is Princess Linchuan the princess who married instead?"
In a corner, a man and a woman are slowly eating.
The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, slender and long, but slightly thin, and his face was also hungry and yellow, and he was drinking wine one by one.
Opposite him was a young girl in a thin blue shirt.
The girl has no characteristics except for a pair of eyes with some aura, her skin is yellow, her face is vegetable, she seems to be unable to eat all year round, her hair is also yellow and thin, her shoulders are like shaving, her body is thin, she is obviously a poor girl in a poor village, and she has been nourished since she was a child.
He looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, but his body looked like a miserable young boy of seven or eight years old.
"Don't talk too much about the affairs of the official family." The man said without being salty, and pushed the only dish on the table, a plate of peanuts, in front of his sister, "Eat more." ”
"Brother, you drink less."
The girl muttered a few words, twisted a peanut, carefully put it in her mouth, smiled happily on her face, and then pushed the plate back.
"Brother, there's a lot of money, Princess Linchuan is so generous, a thousand times."
She seemed to say to herself, "If we can win this money, we won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives." ”
The brother and sister make a living from their performances, often full and hungry, and more importantly, even if they can sometimes earn a little more money, the man will buy alcohol and drink, so they can't save money at all.
"Yes, a thousand times, it's just that kind of place, even if you want to participate, it is estimated that there will be conditions," the man had an expression that saw through the world, "Where can people like us enter?" ”
"Brother, let's go and see if we have a look? You're so good at archery, and you're so good at martial arts," the girl longed, "what if you can really win that thousand kans?" ”
"Yes, it's a chance." The man raised his head and drank the wine, got up and said, "Let's go, it's not far anyway, go and try your luck, if it doesn't work, forget it." ”
The girl hurriedly stretched out her thin palm, grabbed all the peanuts on the plate, and put them into a cloth bag little by little.
The cloth bag was dirty, and the girl didn't care.
......
"I think Princess Linchuan is really good," someone sighed: "Although Zhou Juma was deceived into marriage, but she married a princess anyway, this time she took out a lot of money, and in the absence of Zhou Juma, she fought for her husband, and she was really a heroine among women." ”
"Yes, I hope Zhou Juma can treat her well after she is released from prison."
Although Zhou Jinyan was arrested, no one believed that he would be sentenced to death.
This is also a characteristic scenery of Datang, and in a year, there are very few people who have committed capital crimes.
Not to mention that Zhou Jinyan is a concubine, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty.
"Hey, look."
Suddenly, someone laughed, pointed to the pair of brothers and sisters who went out, and said, "These brothers and sisters, don't they also want to earn that thousand yuan?" ”
The crowd laughed.
Someone said: "I know these two, they are entertainers, and that kid has a bit of martial arts." The archery technique is not bad, but if you do this, you can go to the competition, but I am afraid that the Zhou Mansion will lose. ”
The crowd laughed again, and the tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
The man was carrying a stiff bow on his back, and on the other side he was carrying a large bag of things, dirty, and he clenched his fist tightly when he heard the words, and then let go again.
"Brother, ignore them."
The girl took the man's arm and said coquettishly, "If we can really succeed, it depends on what they say." ”
The man smiled bitterly, gently stroked the girl's yellow hair, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's try our luck." ”
In front of the gate of the Zhou Mansion.
At this time, a lot of people have gathered.
There are a lot of people who watch the excitement, and they have the same purpose as the man before, and there are many people who ask for money.
When the two brothers and sisters saw so many people, they sighed lightly in their hearts, knowing that things could not be done.
The door slowly opened, and a young girl slowly stepped out of it.
The girl is extremely delicate, with a slender figure, and a delicate smile on her face, only to hear her say: "Are you all here to sign up?" ”
"yes, yes."
Yes or no, everyone made a fuss together.
Seaweed frowned, his face fell, and he said to a white-haired old man, "You are also here to sign up?" ”
"Well, I'm not," the boss laughed dryly, "I'm here to make a scene." ”
"What's not your name? It's annoying! The coquettishness on Seaweed's face disappeared, and he said with a straight face: "We will compete the day after tomorrow, we have limited time, please really have the ability, and those who come to participate will go to the left." No, don't mess around. ”
As soon as the words fell, most of the people in Hula ran to the left.
Seaweed looked at about a hundred people. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Mixed in the Tang Dynasty to be a Horse Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
