Chapter 11: Choosing a Concubine
"Hey, isn't this coming out?" Liang Chen glanced at the tall white wall behind him, and snorted coldly to express his disdain. And Changtao on the side suffocated her face, she was really timid, and she couldn't withstand the test of Liangchen's magical brain circuit.
"Miss...... Okay, only go out for two hours, in case you ...... then" Chang Tao was interrupted by Liang Chen before he finished speaking, and Chang Tao had to remind himself every once in a while from the moment he agreed to come out, and Liang Chen was about to be annoyed to death.
"I know, I know, let's hurry up." Liang Chen urged.
The market is as busy with pedestrians as ever, and vendors on both sides of the street are constantly hawking. It seems that there are more people than when I came out last time, and I am afraid that the weather is cooler, and everyone is out for a walk.
Liang Chen walked with the crowd, looking at both sides from time to time to see if there were any new things.
Looking up at the crowd as soon as he looked forward, many people in front of him went to a place, and Liangchen looked at it, it was a teahouse, listening to the wind teahouse.
Liangchen was curious, are people so leisurely now? They all went to the teahouse to taste tea?
No, there are a lot of people crowded at the door, it doesn't look like they're going to drink tea, isn't there something going on inside? Thinking of this, Liangchen also took a step and followed them to the teahouse.
Squeezing through the crowd with great difficulty, I saw a full crowd downstairs, and in it there was something like a stage, on which were placed a mahogany stool and a small table, and on top of it was a folding fan.
"Changtao, what is this for?" Liang Chen turned his head and asked Chang Taodao.
Chang Tao glanced at Liangchen strangely and replied: "This is for storytelling, in the past, whenever the Zong government encountered a festival or a big event, it would invite Mr. to come to the book, and many actors were selected to sing, don't you remember?" ”
Liang Chen was embarrassed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, was he exposed? hurriedly covered up: "Yes...... yes, I forgot about it for a while. Liang Chen scolded himself fiercely in his heart, he was still an ancient wind circle, and he could even react immediately to telling a story, it must be that he had eaten too much recently, and even his brain was slow.
Liangchen looked at the overcrowding on the first floor, so he went to the private room on the second floor with Changtao and found a suitable place to sit down. Anyway, so many people would rather stand below and crowd people than go upstairs, and there are several empty boxes on the second floor.
After a while, the shopkeeper came up to make tea and deliver snacks, and waited for him to finish: "The guest officer uses it slowly." Liangchen raised his head to indicate that he knew, and in a trance, Liangchen saw a familiar figure sitting in the private room opposite, who was unhurriedly holding a teacup and enjoying it, and there were also plates of small snacks in front of him.
Liang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, did he fall into evil recently or did he go out badly? Why do you keep meeting that King Xuansi? Liang Chen's eyes can easily remember his face.
Yan Jiusi took a sip of tea, slowly raised his eyes, and the two pairs of eyes were facing each other. Liangchen immediately lowered his head, picked up a small snack and stuffed it into his mouth, and shifted his gaze to the center of the crowd downstairs, pretending that his attention was on the storyteller, and that it was just an accident just now.
"Miss, did you come out just to listen to books? Miss said it a long time ago, Chang Tao can tell the master to come into the house, how can you come out...... "Chang Tao complained aggrievedly.
Liangchen wanted to respond, but after thinking about it in a flash, Chang Tao seemed to be becoming more and more unrestrained in front of her, although Liang Chen was not recommended, but if Chang Tao became more and more presumptuous, the more he seemed to be less majestic in front of her, and in the eyes of others, it would seem that he was a bully.
Liangchen paused, hooked the corners of his lips, and asked with a playful smile, "What?" Miss Ben will listen to you in the future? The tone was as cold as ever, but this time it was chilling.
Chang Tao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he immediately knelt beside Liang Chen with a plop, and hurriedly said in a cold sweat: "Chang Tao doesn't dare." ”
Liangchen didn't even glance at it, he played with the teacup in his hand, and said to Changtao without a trace of emotion: "You get up, pay attention to your words and deeds next time, don't let others laugh at my Zongzheng Liangchen will not discipline people." ”
"Yes." Chang Tao replied sullenly. Fang Cai scared her to death, with her thoughts, next Liangchen was disciplined by himself with a slap and then all kinds of scolding. But fortunately, it was only a couple of words.
But Chang Tao deeply felt in his heart that the current cold-speaking Zongzheng Liangchen was even more terrifying compared to the previous scolding and spicy Zongzheng Liangchen.
Chang Tao got up and silently retreated behind Liang Chen.
Yan Jiusi looked meaningfully at the pair of master and servant kneeling on the opposite side, looking at Zong Zheng Liangchen's indifferent expression, and a treacherous smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
Wuya on the side looked at Yan Jiusi's expression, holding the sword, three black lines crossed his head, and secretly thought in his heart: "What are you stupid to be happy about in broad daylight, don't be stupid, master." ”
"Sit down and get something to eat." Liangchen looked at an old man downstairs dressed in a long gray coarse cloth shirt, with a long fluttering beard, his face was the color of vicissitudes of life but there was kindness, and his eyes smiled into two slits. It feels very intimate and gentle. Holding a pipe in his hand, he walked up to the storytelling desk with a smile.
Liangchen knew that the storytelling was about to start, so he asked Changtao to sit down and rest for a while.
Chang Tao was frightened just now, and when he heard Liang Chen say this, how could he dare to sit down in fear?
Liangchen turned his head to look at Chang Tao hesitantly, lowering his head, his little face wrinkled together. It seemed that he was frightened, and Liang Chen said helplessly.
Turning around, he commanded again: "Sit down, I scared you like this after just a few words, why do you continue to stay by my side like this?" ”
When Chang Tao heard this, he quickly sat down in the seat next to Liang Chen, pouted and still didn't dare to raise his head and said: "Miss, Chang Tao must be obedient in the future, Miss must not drive Chang Tao away, Chang Tao doesn't want to leave......"
Before Chang Tao finished speaking, Liang Chen picked up a piece of pastry in his hand and stuffed it into Chang Tao's mouth, she had never been able to stand this kind of pitiful and wronged scene, so she quickly blocked Chang Tao's mouth and stopped Chang Tao from continuing, saying: "I didn't really drive you away, and scared you." Hurry up and eat it. ”
Yan Jiusi still looked at the opposite side casually, looking at the two masters and servants on the opposite side, and his smile became deeper and deeper.
And Wu Ya on the side looked at the other side along Yan Jiusi's line of sight, to see what his stupid prince was happy with.
"Oh~ I was looking at a beauty!" Wuya shouted in his heart, and his mouth suddenly opened, it turned out that his master had taken a fancy to other girls, and sure enough, all men in the world were the same.
"Boom!" With a sound, Liang Chen hurriedly looked over.
The old man touched his beard and knocked on the wooden table with the folding fan on the table, and the teahouse fell silent in an instant. Poor Changtao was stuffed with a mouthful of food, and could only respond to Liangchen with a few "woo woo" sounds.
Old man
I opened the folding fan at once, but there was no calligraphy or painting on it.
Okay, let's just keep the rules. What's new to share with you lately? The old man's voice was deep and magnetic, like a clear spring flowing from a high mountain, flowing smoothly into his heart.
Upon his question, someone in the crowd immediately chimed in: "Of course there is, I have big news." "It's a man's voice.
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled and asked, "Oh? Can you speak up and listen to it with everyone? ”
The man replied, "Of course." I heard that the Queen Mother is choosing a concubine for the emperor, and at the same time, she is also choosing a princess for His Royal Highness King Xuansi. For this old lady of the queen mother, I have a relative who works in the aristocratic mansion, saying that it is the queen mother's side of the red man Liu Gonggong, who quietly went to several famous families for the queen mother to quietly see which lady is good, so as to make a choice. ”
