With the coaxing of everyone, the old man really turned to Zhu Youzhen, who was still on the field, and said with a wry smile: "This little brother, everyone else is watching from outside the circle, but you are here, you have to take care of the little ones no matter what." ”

"That's that, this girl is so wonderful!" Zhu Youzhen touched into his arms as he spoke, planning to reward a few more taels of silver. But when I touched it, I was dumbfounded, and I didn't have a penny on my body.

In fact, this is not surprising, he is already a prince, and it is not appropriate to show his head on this trip, and everything should be handled by others, so what is the use of bringing money with him?

Moreover, the currency of this era was either silver ingots or copper coins, and it was heavy and panicked in the arms, but it was not as easy to carry as the paper money of the previous life. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not develop the habit of carrying silver with him.

And the old man saw that he couldn't touch a copper plate for a long time, his face was even more ugly, and he couldn't help complaining: "It is said that 'there is no gentleman and no artist', our place in Luoyang is beautiful, outstanding people, but I didn't expect to meet my brother so stingy today!" ”

Zhu Youzhen made the old man's face flush with a word, and some angry guys in the surrounding crowd coaxed loudly: "At first glance, this kid is a poor ghost, seeing that the red lady is handsome, and I want to have a hero to save the beauty!" Don't pee on yourself, let's get out of here! ”

Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale with anger, as a prince, he was really under one person, above ten thousand people, and everywhere he went, the stars held the moon. Even a great official like the governor and the governor, when he saw him, he was still respectful, how could he have been ridiculed like this? He had a heart attack, but when he thought about it, he was traveling in a micro-service, and he must not reveal his identity. Therefore, although he rolled his eyes in anger, he was helpless.

The girl smiled gently: "Uncle Li, this son came to the rescue because he was afraid that I would be injured." People are kind-hearted, how can they ask for money from others. Childe, don't listen to those nonsense. I was rescued by you just now, and the red lady thanked you! ”

Saying that, she said that she was blessed by Zhu Youying. Zhu Youzhen only heard clearly at this time, it turned out that the girl's name was "Red Lady". However, it is extremely rare in the world to have the surname "Hong", and this name should probably be her stage name.

However, when the red lady said this, Zhu Youzhen was even more embarrassed. Where is he saving people, it is clearly to cause chaos for others, and now it has become a reason for some scoundrels to refuse to pay. Seeing that the red lady was saluting herself, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly clasped her hands and hurriedly said, "Girl, please wait." ”

As he spoke, he took three steps and two steps to the sidelines, and said to Li Zhenyan: "Zhenyan, do you have any silver on you?" ”

Li Zhenyan had already guessed Zhu Youzhen's meaning, couldn't help but smile, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it to him. This is a silver ingot with both ends upturned and a depression in the middle, which is forty or fifty taels. Zhu Youzhen didn't bother to weigh it, so he picked up the ingots and returned to the venue, and solemnly put them into the old man's gong.

The audience was in an uproar, no one would have thought that this young man was very ordinary in his clothes, but he was so generous! It should be known that it is generally a good way to perform tricks, and it is a lot to reward three or five copper coins. After an artist performs a show, it is already very good to be able to collect hundreds of eldest sons, which is enough to cope with the expenses of dozens of people a day. Now that they have received dozens of taels of silver at once, which is almost equal to their monthly income, how can everyone not be amazed?

The red lady was also taken aback, and immediately reacted, but without hesitation, she took out the silver ingot, handed it back to Zhu Youzhen, and said: "This son, what we perform is some small plays, and it is not worth so much silver." As the saying goes: if you don't succeed, you will have trouble sleeping. Your good intentions, the red lady has it, please take back the silver. ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that people didn't accept money, and he felt even more admiration in his heart, so he said sincerely: "Don't worry, girl, I don't have any other intentions, I just think that the girl's skills are very exquisite, and they are completely worth the silver." Besides, I almost messed up your show just now, so the money is compensated. ”

The red lady still insisted on not accepting it, but Zhu Youzhen was bent on giving, and the two were at a stalemate in the venue.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, another person walked up to the sidelines, snatched the silver ingot in the gong, and laughed weirdly: "None of you want good silver, then okay, I want it!" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know this person, but the red lady had a cold face, and said coldly: "Uncle Liu, the silver belongs to this son, please return it to him, what's going on with me!" ”

But the man had already held the silver firmly in his hand, and said defiantly: "It is not difficult to want the silver, but I don't know what I told the girl last time, how did the girl think about it?" ”

"Uncle Liu, please stop talking!" The red lady was already frosty at this time, but she still held back her anger, and said as politely as possible, "I already told you clearly last time, we are just a folk circus troupe, and we can't get into the hall of elegance, and we don't dare to enter the palace to perform..."

"Don't be embarrassed!" The "Uncle Liu" suddenly lowered his face and said viciously, "If you can climb or not, it's not up to you!" Let me tell you the truth, the prince just wants to watch you perform alone, and the rest of the team likes to do whatever they want, so Uncle Ben doesn't bother to pay attention to it. How's that, give me a good word! ”

Zhu Youzhen was confused, but he probably guessed something. This "Uncle Liu" seems to be a housekeeper, he wants the red lady to perform in the palace, but the red lady is reluctant to go.

Hearing the word "Wangfu", Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but move in his heart, secretly thinking that there would be a few princes in Luoyang, which must be a good thing done by Zhu Changxun, the blessed king!

Just as she was thinking about it, the red lady had already said awe-inspiringly: "The little girl's skills are shallow, she doesn't dare to show off in front of the prince, I will never go!" Please Uncle Liu return the silver to this son immediately, this matter has nothing to do with him! ”

The "Uncle Liu" rolled his eyelids, looked Zhu Youzhen up and down a few times, and suddenly laughed out loud and said: "I know what you think, don't you just see that this person is a little white face, and he is generous, and he wants to be close to others?" Don't forget to have such a saying: Little white face, no kind eyes! I won't tell you, the prince really takes a fancy to you, if you enter the palace, from now on, you will be a hundred times better than performing on the street? How can this kid compare with the prince! ”

"Shut up!" The red lady finally couldn't hold it back, and interrupted him sharply, "The surname is Liu, my red lady is not a person who sees money, and I won't go to the palace with you, you died of this heart as soon as possible!" Put the money down, or I'll blame me for being rude to you!" ”

The "Uncle Liu" also said angrily: "Good you are a red lady, not only do you not know what to do, but you also dare to threaten Uncle Ben!" If I don't let it go, what can you do? ”

As he spoke, he deliberately raised the silver above his head, swaggered around and left, muttering as he went, "You wait for me!" ”

When the red lady saw that he was about to walk into the crowd, she suddenly took out a delicate and small slingshot from her body, and she didn't look at it, she raised her hand and pulled it. The pebbles on the slingshot immediately shot out, hitting the hand of "Uncle Liu" holding the silver!

"Uncle Liu" was in pain, shook his hand suddenly, and the silver ingot flew out of his hand. Zhu Youzhen only felt a flower in front of him, and when he looked at it again, the red lady was already standing a few feet away, and steadily took the silver ingot in her hand!
