Chapter 286: Listening to the Drama
Although Jiao Haiqing is lazy on weekdays, once he decides to do something, he will become quite meticulous.
Since he decided to help Wei Renshi set up a caravan of sea ships, he had to think carefully about the plan. He stayed at Wei Renshi's house that night, and returned to Weinan early the next morning, ready to entrust the affairs of the coal yard to Lin Sumian.
Lin Sumian is also one of the shareholders of Weinan Coal Yard, and his ability is beyond doubt.
On the second day after Jiao Haiqing left, when Wei Renshi was changing the story for Yin Qingfeng's teahouse, the porter came to report that there were two people outside who he didn't know and asked to see Wei Renshi, saying that he was singing.
Wei Renshi put down the pen and asked the porter to take them into the main hall, and after explaining to the Xi'er who was studying ink in the study not to clean up first, he left the study and went to the front main hall.
That day, the ranger stood inside with a handsome man.
"This is Mr. Cheng?" Wei Renshi asked.
"The grass people are." Cheng Fu bowed and said.
"I would like to ask my husband to stay at home for a few days, so that he can prepare for his life, and then sing a play and listen to it." Wei Renshi said: "I don't know if Mr. is willing? ”
"Dare to ask the lord which one do you want to hear?" Cheng Fuduan asked.
"It's the two hundred years of Qindi City." Wei Renshi said: "I'm going to invite a guest to listen to your play. ”
Cheng Fuduan nodded and said, "It takes two days for the grass people to prepare, but the grass people haven't brought anything with ......."
"Now that Li Shiman Chang'an wants to arrest you, you don't want to go out again." Wei Renshi said: "What do you need, tell me where it is, I will send someone to fetch it for you." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't get the grass people's things." Cheng Fuduan said: "The place where the grass people live has been found a long time ago, and everything in it has been smashed. If it weren't for Brother Ren's righteous rescue, the grass people would have been arrested as early as that day. ”
"It doesn't matter, write down whatever you want, and I'll send my family out to buy it for you." Wei Renshi said.
Cheng Fu bowed and saluted, "Thank you, sir!" However, what the grass people are offending now is Jingzhao Yin Li Shi, who is in a high position and power, and I am afraid that it is not good for the lord. The lord's kindness is understood by the grass people, but the grass people do not want to affect others. The lord should let the grass people leave. ”
Wei Renshi looked at him and saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, but there was a will to die in his eyes, so he said, "Do you know who the guest I invited is?" ”
"The grass people listen to Brother Ren and say that he is the king of Guangling County." Cheng Fuduan said: "But Li Shi is also a prince, and he is in an important position, even if the young prince has a heart, I am afraid that he will be powerless." ”
After all, he is not a person from the court, but he has heard of the king of Guangling County, but he does not know that the king of Guangling County is the eldest grandson of the emperor.
Wei Renshi shook his head and said, "The person I invited to listen to you sing this play is the current prince. ”
Cheng Fu was stunned.
Wei Renshi had already raised his hand to beckon the family to come, asked the family to take Cheng Fuduan to the guest room, and asked him to help Cheng Fuduan prepare the things he needed.
Cheng Fuduan stayed at Wei Renshi's house, and Wei Renshi also sent someone to inform Li Chun.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Chun really accompanied Li Yu to Wei Renshi's house.
"The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come suddenly, the minister has missed the welcome, please forgive His Highness." Wei Renshi saw Li Yu, made a look of surprise, and saluted and said.
"Wei County men don't have to be polite." Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Guben didn't inform Wei Xiannan in advance. It's just that Chun'er didn't want to be alone here today, but I don't know what's going on. ”
"The father forgives the sins, and the child begs the father to come here today so that the father can listen to a play." Li Chun saluted and said: "The child should have asked Wei Xiannan to take the singer to the East Palace to sing for his father, but now the actor is not allowed to go out, once he goes out, I am afraid he will not be able to go to the East Palace." That's why I dared to ask my father to come here. ”
Li Yu frowned and said, "Listen to the play? Chun'er, what the hell is going on? ”
Li Chun bent down deeper and said, "I beg my father to listen to the drama first!" ”
Li Yu looked at Li Chun and then at Wei Renshi.
Wei Renshi sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister knows the intentions of the King of Guangling County. The king of Guangling County worked hard, and asked His Royal Highness to talk about it in detail. ”
"Speak." Li Yu nodded.
Wei Renshi replied: "A few days ago, the minister and the king of Guangling County came out of the Jinwuwei, passed by the street, and found that the messengers of Jingzhao Mansion and the soldiers of Zuo Jinwuwei patrolling the streets were chasing one person. Didn't catch up though. Later, when the messengers and soldiers left, the man was hiding, and when the people chasing him left, he appeared again, and was bumped into by the minister and the king of Guangling. Immediately, the king of Guangling County wanted to leave him behind, and wait for the messenger to come back and arrest people. ”
"That man turned out to be a ranger, but in order to save a play, he led away the officers and soldiers with himself." Wei Renshi continued: "The minister and the king of Guangling County only knew that the play's name was Cheng Fuduan, and he was arrested by King Jingzhao Yin Sidao because of a play. The ranger couldn't see it, so he helped Cheng Fuduan. The king of Guangling County begged His Highness to come in person today, just to let His Highness listen to the drama with his own ears! ”
"What kind of drama is it? Why is the actor who was arrested by the King of the Heirs in Wei County's man's house? Li Yu frowned even more and asked.
"Father will know when he hears it!" Li Chun bowed down again and said.
Li Yu looked at the two of them and said, "In this case, listen to it." ”
Wei Ren bowed and exited the main hall, and asked the family to call Cheng Fu to paint his makeup.
"Chun'er, what do you mean, why don't you tell Gu directly." Li Yu asked.
Li Chun saluted again and replied, "Father, have you ever seen a group of people fighting for a dead man who had just died, and did not hesitate to fight and tear the dead man into pieces?" ”
Li Yu shook his head and said, "What are you doing fighting for the dead? ”
"Eat! Father! Li Chun suddenly became excited: "In order to be able to eat a bite of the flesh of a dead man, they fight like crazy people!" ”
"What?!" Li Yu was taken aback: "Chun'er, what are you going to do?!" ”
Li Chun told Li Yu that he had met Ranger that day, and after listening to him talk about Cheng Fuduan's play, he went to Weinan to see it with his own eyes.
When he heard that the official road to Weinan was full of homeless people, and there were starving and rotting corpses on the side of the road, Li Yu was even more surprised and asked, "Homeless? If there are so many displaced people, why don't you see one outside Chang'an City?! ”
"Because Jingzhao Yin Li Shi sent messengers to block the road and guard it, all the displaced people who approached Chang'an City were driven away by those messengers." Li Chun gritted his teeth and replied: "These are all what the child has seen with his own eyes!" Father, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the child would never have believed that there was such a thing happening outside Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven! ”
