Chapter 53: The Missing Bird

Jiang Wan didn't doubt Ye Gongzi's words, and put the mask on his face. Sure enough, there were a lot of people who came today, and the places in the teahouse were full of people.

Ye Gongzi and Jiang Wan wearing masks naturally attracted some people's curious eyes, Jiang Wan was a little uncomfortable, she was afraid of being recognized. Ye Gongzi sensed her uneasiness and held Jiang Wan's hand on his knee.

"Don't be nervous."

He said softly, Jiang Wan glanced up at Ye Gongzi, she nodded, and relaxed as much as possible. Ye Gongzi looked at the spectators with curious eyes with cold eyes, and those who were startled and avoided them stupidly.

The storyteller walked up to the stage, and after a polite speech, he was shocked, and two people carrying screens came up under the platform. The storyteller walked behind the screen, and the show began.

Jiang Wan watched this kind of performance for the first time, and the more she listened to it, the more novel it became, and she couldn't help but think of the texts she had learned when she was a student. To be fortunate enough to have this opportunity in this world and feel the performance of talented people makes her sigh very much.

Ye Gongzi listened to the performance with interest, and most of his attention was on Jiang Wan.

After a performance, the storyteller walked to the front of the stage, gave a curtain call to the audience, and walked off the stage. The spectators felt that it was not enjoyable, and they wanted to listen to it again, and the shopkeeper came up to calm everyone's excitement.

"Mr. Zhang's field is fixed, and all the officials also know it, the old rule is that I invite you to a table and a pot of tea, and you will come again next time."

When people heard the shopkeeper say this, they stopped shouting. A smile rose at the corner of Jiang Wan's mouth, she understood the meaning of the shopkeeper. A table and a pot of tea, which seems to be the shopkeeper, let the officials get cheap, but in fact ensure that they can continue to come at the next game. Compared with the cost of watching this performance, the cost of this small pot of tea is naturally nothing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ye Gongzi smiled when he saw her, a little confused. Jiang Wan replied with a smile, "I appreciate the ingenuity of this shopkeeper, and he is a person who can do business." ”

"Why do you have such an opinion?"

Jiang Wan told Ye Gongzi about her analysis, and Ye Gongzi was still smiling after hearing it, but there were other emotions flowing in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that Miss Ling Kite is also proficient in the way of doing business, which really makes me admire."

"I was born in a family of merchants, and my family has been in business for generations, so I am not proficient in it."

Jiang Wan took out his fabricated "life experience" under the guise of it, and Ye Gongzi did not continue to ask.

"This Mr. Zhang, who is good at ventriloquism, is really capable, I have never seen such techniques, this time I have the honor to observe, thank you Ye Gongzi."

"Why do you and I have to say thank you?"

Jiang Wan thought about how wonderful this world was, and she wanted to explore it more and more. When she left the capital, she went south, and with her ingenuity, she decided that she would not live a hard life.

It's a pity that she saved up the belongings before, and she had to leave the palace in a hurry, and she only brought a silver ticket of one hundred taels with her. But that's enough for her to live and start a business.

And by this time, the palace was already in chaos. Jiang Wan's disappearance gave Lu Zhixing a headache. A few days ago, Ping'er saw that it was dark and Jiang Wan didn't come back, so she went around looking for it, but Jiang Wan had already left the palace, how could she find it.

"Master, master, where have you been?"

Ping'er alone really had little effect, so he called Xia Yahan to look for it together.

"Ju Chang, have you seen my master?"

Xia Yahan looked at Hio'er who came in a hurry, a little surprised and puzzled, "I haven't seen her, she didn't come to me today, what's wrong?" ”

Ping'er was anxious at this time, tears were about to come out, and she said with a crying voice, "I can't find the master, I searched for it all night last night and didn't find it." ”

Xia Yahan was shocked, "Jiang Wan, she's missing?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Don't panic, I'll go with you to find it."

Xia Yahan took Mo'er and Xian'er to look for them in the palace, and met Lu Zhixing, who was also looking for Jiang Wan. The people sent by Lu Zhixing to secretly protect Jiang Wan lost Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan immediately went to report to Lu Zhixing.

"What did you say, lost it?"

"Yes, Xin Chang found his subordinates, so he threw them away, and his subordinates were not doing well, so he asked His Majesty to punish him."

"Go to the torture chamber and get punished."

At first, Lu Zhixing thought that Jiang Wan was just lost, but he didn't expect Changge to tell him that Jiang Wan was gone. Lu Zhixing's heart was filled with a sense of unease, just like the last time Jiang Wan was injured in the royal nunnery.

"Send the order to go down and search the entire palace, and I must find her."

"Yes."

Although Lu Zhixing gave an order, he couldn't calm down at all, Jiang Wan's assassination last time showed that someone was secretly dealing with her, what if this disappearance was also the mastermind behind the scenes.

Lu Zhixing walked out of the imperial study, and he wanted to find Jiang Wan in person.

"Your Majesty."

Xia Yahan and his entourage didn't expect to suddenly meet Lu Zhixing, and hurriedly saluted Lu Zhixing.

"Excuse me, did Xin Changzai find it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we haven't found her for a long time, and we haven't even found any related objects."

Xia Yahan was also extremely anxious at this time, and the whole harem had already been found, but Jiang Wan seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.

Lu Zhixing's face was serious and abnormal, and his brows were tightly furrowed, "Keep looking." ”

Lu Zhixing turned around and left, he went to Jiang Wan's courtyard, looking at the room, Jiang Wan's traces seemed to have not left, "Jiang Wan, where have you been?" ”

And Jiang Wan was living comfortably outside the palace at this time, and she was looking forward to the night market in the evening. Ye Gongzi looked at her expectant appearance and smiled, "Why are you still like a child." ”

After getting along in the past few days, Jiang Wan has become accustomed to living in Ye Gongzi's mansion, and there is no such separation between her and Ye Gongzi.

"I used to live a life without freedom, so I didn't try a lot of things, so it was natural to be new."

Jiang Wan is right, as soon as she crossed over, she was in the cold palace, doing countless chores, and later went to the royal nunnery to practice every day, and the days of playing around like this have not been felt for a long time in her impression.

After Ye Gongzi heard Jiang Wan's words, his eyes were a little gloomy, and his face was a little pity, "Now that you are out of the palace with me, you are free, and I will do whatever you want." ”

"Thank you, Ye Gongzi, if it weren't for you, I would still be in that deep palace now, working every day and worrying about my life."

He knew the whirlpools in the palace, and he knew what strife lay within the walls. Everyone in the world says that the royal family is good, but who will remember the ruthlessness of the emperor the most.

Ye Gongzi looked at Jiang Wan who was standing aside teasing the birds in the cage, his face was entangled, he had something to say to Jiang Wan, but he was afraid that his abruptness would offend her.

Jiang Wan teased the bird, as if unintentionally, "I'm like this bird, I have wings that can fly to the sky, but it's a pity that I can only please people in this square inch of the cage." ”

Ye Gongzi saw the melancholy and helplessness in Jiang Wan's eyes, and his heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand for a while, and the words in his heart choked in his throat.

"At least by my side, you can fly freely."

His soft words fell into Jiang Wan's ears, but Jiang Wan just smiled and shook his head without speaking.

At night, the streets are lit up. Ye Gongzi took Jiang Wan out of the house. Although Ye Gongzi's mansion is in the capital, it is also some distance from the lively market. Jiang Wan had never paid attention to the vicinity of the mansion, and this street seemed to have been quiet all the time, and there was very little noise like the lanterns lit in front of the houses.

"It's quiet."

"The people living in this neighborhood are literati who like to be quiet."

"I see."

Jiang Wan diverted her attention, in fact, if she looked carefully, she could see the surnames of many high-ranking officials and nobles on those plaques. Because the night market was noisy, Jiang Wan and Ye Gongzi chose to take a walk. Jiang Wan was still curious why she didn't wait for dinner before going, so Ye Gongzi gave her the answer.

"There are a lot of snacks in the night market, and if you go after dinner, you won't have that kind of taste."

"Ye Gongzi seems to know all these things very well."

"When I was not degraded, I often took a break from my affairs, and I was one of the people."

Ye Gongzi chuckled, his bright eyes made it difficult to doubt the truth of his words, and Jiang Wan was the same.

The two chatted and walked, and soon arrived on the main street of the night market. The streets are lit up with lights, and the hawkers are constantly shouting.

Jiang Wan walked in front, and Ye Gongzi slowly followed behind him with a folding fan. From time to time, one or two children ran through the crowd, and Jiang Wan was hit by the dodge in a hurry.

"Ahh

"Be careful!"

Ye Gongzi grabbed Jiang Wan, who was about to fall, in time, and fell in this crowded place, which was tantamount to a dead end.

"Thank you Ye Gongzi for saving me in time."

Jiang Wan stood up straight, took a breath and calmed down from Fang Cai's panic. Ye Gongzi realized that he was still holding Jiang Wan's arm, felt rude, and hurriedly let go.

"It's okay, you watch out for those kids."

"Hmm."

A small episode did not affect Jiang Wan's mood when she went to the night market, she looked at the dazzling array of gadgets and beckoned Ye Gongzi to come over. Ye Gongzi chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and walked over.

"What's your eye on again?"

"Look." Jiang Wan picked up the fox mask in his hand and put it on his face, "How interesting." ”

Ye Gongzi stretched out his hand and took off Jiang Wan's mask and replaced it with another, "I think this is suitable for you." ”

Jiang Wan didn't understand, and when he took off the mask, he found that it was a little pig.

"Ye Gongzi is really joking, this is obviously more suitable for you."

Ye Gongzi no longer joked that she bought the fox mask that Jiang Wan originally fancied, and bought the same fox mask.

"I won't tease you."

Jiang Wan put the mask on her face, turned around and left, Ye Gongzi knew that she was temperamental, and he was not annoyed, and still followed behind to pay for her.

Jiang Wan and Ye Gongzi were shopping and eating at the night market, and Jiang Wan was very satisfied. But Yun Xing's face was not very good-looking, he stepped forward, "Master, you can't eat these." ”
