Chapter 17: Good and Evil

Zhao Ta's mansion is also very lively at this time, the gongs and drums sound into a point, the deputy net on the stage pretends to be stupid, the deputy end of the gag is amused, and there is another person pretending to be an official, four or five people are talking and singing, the performance is funny, and the audience is happy to lean back and back, and the applause continues.

"See, what's this called?" Zhao Ta looked at this thing like a sketch in the later generations and asked curiously.

"Second master, this is called a miscellaneous drama, after they finish acting, it is a movie drama, that one is better-looking!" Seeing that Xi's eyes did not leave the stage, he said.

"Oh!" Zhao Ta nodded, he didn't understand the 'Mandarin' of this era, just like the northerners who went to the south to listen to the commentary, people watched it for enjoyment, and he mainly relied on guessing when he watched the lively plot, and others were happy to smirk, and he was a little interested in watching it for a while.

Suddenly laughter started, Zhao Ta turned his head to look, frowned, the surrounding group of people regardless of the image in Ha Lu Ha Da Lang laughed, at noon the mansion also set up a banquet, invited the village heads of various Zhuangzi in the house, the local chief of security, the chief of the big security, the elder and a few local gentry. At noon, Zhao Ta didn't hear them say a few words, they were busy drinking and eating, and the sound of snoring at the banquet made him lose his appetite greatly, and now the candied fruit on their table was also eaten clean, that is, there were several pots of tea!

"Second master, they are just a bunch of rich people, they have never seen the world, and they have never eaten anything good!" Seeing that Zhao Ta was a little unhappy, he glanced at them with disdain and said.

"Alas, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" Zhao Ta sighed lightly, "It's convenient to see Xi and follow me!" He got up and left his position and said, these people are all people with heads and faces on the ground, it is impossible to not understand the basic rules, what he sees from the eyes of this group of people is different from seeing joy, that is greedy, unscrupulous, they see the huge mansion, but the head of the house is a child, it is inevitable to have the heart of ingenuity, the things in the house have just been done, and the trouble outside is coming!

Before Zhao Ta finished soaking his urine, he heard a commotion outside and the scolding of the nurses in the house, he hurriedly finished his errand, picked up his pants and ran out, "What happened to the joy?" He hurriedly asked the man who was guarding the door.

"Second master, it seems that the naughty boy in Zhuangzi is picking up the wall, and he wants to come in to watch the play, but the nurse is driving away!" Miki replied.

"Come over and take a look, don't let the nurses hurt them!" Zhao Ta said and ran over there, and when he got there, he saw that a group of children were 'fighting guerrillas' with the nurses, and they bombed away from this side, and climbed up from there.

"Stop, don't hurt anyone!" Zhao Ta hurriedly shouted, there is no TV and computer in this era, and it is a big deal in the village to be able to have a singing team, if you are not afraid of them, I am afraid that adults will come to join in the fun, not to mention these children with excess energy.

"Second master, these little mongrels are too difficult, they are bent on making trouble, don't give them a little bit of power, and treat our house as their vegetable garden!" Yang Feng was sweating all over his head and said angrily.

"Second master, we're either making trouble, or we just want to watch a show!" A child rode on the top of the wall and shouted, the five or six meters high wall, I don't know how they climbed it.

"Erwa, why are you, hurry down, don't fall!" Zhao Ta recognized that it was the second child of the Lei family who spoke, "See you, find a ladder and take them next!" ”

"Second master, I don't need a ladder, I can come down by myself!" The second baby said and hugged a big tree by the wall and slipped down, and then several half-grown children also followed.

"Is there anyone out there?" Zhao asked.

"Second master, there are still some small ones, they can't climb up, and they are crying in a hurry below!" The second baby touched her head and said embarrassedly.

"Master Yang, open the side door and let them in!" Zhao Ta turned his head and said to Yang Feng, who was standing behind him.

"Second master, this is not good, they don't understand the rules, if they destroy the things in the house, the little ones can't afford it!" Yang Feng frowned and persuaded.

"No, no, I'll take care of them when the time comes, and I won't touch the things in the house!" Seeing that Yang Feng disagreed, the second baby hurriedly said.

"Let them in, won't my words work?" Zhao Ta said with a sinking face.

"Second master, I... I'm going to open the door! Seeing that Zhao Ta was already annoyed, he stabbed Yang Feng and signaled him to hurry up. ,

"Second master, the chief steward said that the weather is cold, the warm pavilion is ready, and the troupe has also moved over, let you go there to watch the movie, just wait for you to start the play!" At this time, a small guy ran over and said.

"Okay, you tell Zheng Da, just say that I have a group of friends, don't let others go up to the second floor, and then tell the kitchen to prepare more fruits and candied fruits to send up."

"Yes, let's do it for the little ones!" The little guy immediately went down and ordered, and a group of children poured in, more than a dozen large and small, and the second baby immediately went over to gather the 'team' to introduce his friends to Zhao Ta, which was nothing more than small names such as Big Egg, Ergou, Sanmao, and Four Tigers, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he led them to the warm pavilion.

There are braziers everywhere in the warm pavilion, which is much warmer than the outside, there are flowers and plants in the pavilion, there are veils hanging on the wall, the tables and chairs inside, and the coffee table are all exquisite, not to mention the second baby, even the chief of the security who has just sat down, the gentry also feel luxurious. These children have never seen these things, don't look at Huan who is tossing outside, as soon as they go upstairs, they are dumbfounded, and they don't know where to put their hands and feet.

"Don't move, there's a bit of a rule!" A four- or five-year-old child thought he was hungry, and when he saw the candied fruit on the table, he reached out to get it, and was slapped on the hand by the second baby, and the little guy was deflated and wanted to cry.

"Erwa, the thing is for everyone to eat, why are you beating him!" Zhao Ta hurriedly grabbed a few dates and put them in his hand and said, "See Xi, Fengxi will share things for everyone to eat!" "At first, they were a little restrained, but the child is still a child after all, and he can't resist the temptation of food, so he quickly lets go.

"Second master, this fruit is so delicious!" Erwa's mouth was stuffed with something and she said vaguely.

"Of course, these are all made by chefs from Beijing, and they are all made with the best ingredients, of course they are delicious!" Jianxi smiled and said, "This is a chrysanthemum cake made from chrysanthemums that were picked this year, and it's even better than that!" ”

"Xie Xiye, this chrysanthemum cake must have never been eaten, can I bring it back to her to try it?" The second baby seemed to have long forgotten the past 'grievances' between the two, and asked with a raised face.

"This... Yes, Zhilu Dao feels sorry for his mother, he is a good boy! Seeing the joy for a while, he immediately said, at this time he found that there were older children, holding the food in their hands and reluctant to eat, they must be the same as the second baby, and wanted to take it home to honor the adults and leave it to the younger brothers and sisters.

The bang rang continuously, the show began, the scene was quiet, and in order to make people see clearly, the handymen covered some lanterns. The chief steward was thoughtful, knowing that the master was for children, and the film and drama were all 'children's programs', the picture was for the excitement, the children's eyes were attracted, and the upstairs was quiet. Zhao Ta only noticed at this time, don't look at these children in the countryside, but they know the rules better than those people downstairs, maybe they feel that their clothes are not clean, they all sit on the ground, and no one sits on the chair, he quietly instructed the little servants to find some futons for the children to sit down and prevent them from getting cold.

······

The play didn't end until the moon hung high, and the guests were sent away, and Zhao Ta invited the second baby to come back to the play tomorrow. After tossing and turning for a few days, he ended his fast and moved back to the summer courtyard from the Taoist temple, and he was also tired, and he was already yawning in the bathtub.

"Second master, the little one did something by himself today, please punish him!" Seeing that Zhao Tan came out and poured him a glass of water, he stepped aside and excused himself.

"What's the matter, what did you do?" Zhao Ta sat cross-legged on the bed and said with a smile.

"Second master, I gave the rest of the fruit in the kitchen to the second baby and brought them home, without telling the second master!" Seeing Xi drooping his head and said.

"Why are you doing this?" When Zhao Ta sent the children out, he had already seen that they had extra paper bags in their hands, and he took a sip of water and said quietly.

"Second master, when I was young, my family was poor, my father and mother died, leaving me and my sister, the family had long been out of food, one night she was hungry, I asked her to wait until dawn to find her food, the next morning, I went to the street to ask for two cooking cakes, and when I got home, my sister has been... Already starving! Speaking of this, he couldn't help crying, "Today I saw the child secretly hiding the food for his younger siblings, and seeing that the second baby was still thinking about his mother, I thought of my younger sister, and couldn't help but make the decision in private and give everything to them!" Jianxi said with a sob.

"Hehe, just for this, give it, you don't have to ask me about this kind of thing in the future, you can just do it yourself, you have to remember that there will always be a good reward for accumulating virtue and doing good!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Second master, I remember!" Seeing that Xi nodded vigorously and said, he suddenly had a strange thought, the prince is so young, he should be coaxing him by himself, but now why has he become the 'teaching' of the prince every day, who is big and who is small!
