If you don't show off Zhang Feng's appearance, she smiled dumbly and shouted! Boatman, well to "

The boatman still stopped, Zhang Xiu picked up Zhang Feng, kicked on the boat, jumped lightly to the shore one foot wide from the boat, and then took Zhang Feng to shuttle among the small traders. In less than half an hour, Xiao Zhang Feng's body was full of all kinds of gadgets, some of them were native to the Han Dynasty, some were handed down from the countries of the Western Regions, and so on, and the little one with a sugar gourd in his hand couldn't stop licking. Zhang Xiu continued to shuttle among the hawkers with her, and suddenly Xiao Zhang Feng's empty white tender little finger pointed to a small stall and said, "Daddy, there!" there". After speaking, I didn't stop using Xiao Zhang's embroidered shoulders.

Zhang Xiu turned his head to look, but saw a skinny man with dark skin in front of the stall shouting loudly, attracting passers-by. Zhang Xiu saw that Zhang Feng wanted to watch it, and smiled slightly. Before coming to this stall with Xiao Zhang Feng in his arms, there were already many people around at this time. Zhang Xiu looked at the winter coat that the thin man was wearing was not thick, and he was a little shivering in the cold winter.

The thin man saw that there were more and more people around him, so he made up his mind, and then arched his hand in all directions. Lang Sheng said: "In Xia Chenda, it is a businessman from Nanyang, this is our popular gadget in Nanyang, Kong Ming Lock." After saying that, he took out a wooden cross cube, and then quickly dismantled it with both hands, and in a short time, the original cross cube had turned into three sets of wooden strips.

The man smiled slightly, and with a movement of his hands, he quickly reassembled the wooden strips, and in just a few moments, the wooden strips turned back into a cross cube.

After the combination, the man said: "Folks, this Kong Ming lock is unique to Nanyang, and it is most suitable for children at home to play. Everyone wants their children to study in Chang'an Academy, so it is best to buy a Kong Ming lock for the children at home.

A Kong Ming lock only needs a big dollar, everyone come and buy it.

The people around me were still very interested when they started to see it, but when they heard the price of this Kong Ming lock. but they were all scattered. Zhang Xiu vaguely heard those people say: "A big dollar to buy a few rotten wooden strips, am I a fool?" ”

Except for a few people who helped the man buy the Kong Ming lock, the rest of the passers-by who were watching were scattered. The man's face suddenly appeared dejected.

Zhang Feng shook Zhang Xiu's arm at this time and said, "Daddy, I want that Kong Ming lock to play."

Zhang Xiu heard this, touched Zhang Feng's little brain, and walked forward. Fang Cai Zhang Xiu was far away. At this time, after approaching, I saw that there were only a few big coins on the thin man's clay bowl, which should be today's harvest, and it seemed that the business was not easy to do.

Zhang Xiu opened his voice and said, "Brother, come to three Kong Ming locks."

When the thin man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the three brand-new Kong Ming locks, put them on with ropes and handed them to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu hung two of them on Xiao Zhang Feng's body, one for her to hold, and then took out three big coins and handed them to him. After the man took it, Zhang Xiu asked, "By the way, why is this thing called Kong Ming Suo?" ”

When the thin man saw Zhang Xiu's big customer asking, he replied with a smile: "This Kong Ming lock only appeared in Nanyang and Xiangyang this year, and it is said that it was created by a master. This Kong Ming lock is very difficult to solve. It took me months to unravel it. Now almost all the boys in Nanyang can play, I think this Kong Ming lock can prevail in Nanyang, so I took it to Chang'an to sell it and try it, how do I know that no one wants it, this time I even lost the road expenses. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled, but asked, "I don't know what the name of this master is?" ”

The thin man heard this and replied: "This master is rumored to be a hermit in Nanyang, as for his age, appearance, and where he lives in seclusion, it is not known, and our people in Nanyang only know that he is called Mr. Kong Ming."

Zhang Xiu nodded after hearing this, took out more than a dozen big coins, and said: "Seeing each other is fate, you come to Chang'an to do business, and you can't let you lose your route." After putting down more than a dozen big coins, Zhang Xiu hugged Zhang Feng and turned to leave. Xiao Zhang Feng also waved his hand holding the sugar gourd and said goodbye to the man.

When the man saw it, he said excitedly: "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor." Zhang Xiu put down the big money, which was enough for him to do business for a few days.

Zhang Xiu didn't care much, but when she heard what this man said, she secretly guessed in her heart. This Kong Ming lock Zhang Xiu also knows. Before the crossing, Zhang Xiu passed through the Xiangfan area, and this kind of thing was still very popular. It is rumored that Zhuge Liang made it for Zhuge Zhan to play with his young head flexibly.

However, that was already after Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei into Shu, and this thing actually belongs to the category of strange lewd skills, which is not very accepted by the family of this era.

Zhang Xiu didn't dare to underestimate this Mr. Kong Ming, every step he took must have its intentions. In addition, in history, Kong Mingsuo was circulated after Zhuge Liang's death, and now it is popular in Nanyang, Zhang Xiu can't guess the true intention of Zhuge Liang in this year's net and the year of the weak crown.

Zhang Xiu walked back to the boat with Zhang Feng in her arms, and the little girl saw that Zhang Xiu was worried, so she immediately handed the sugar gourd in her hand to Zhang Xiu's mouth and said, "Daddy, eat!" ”

Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and ate a sugar gourd, and secretly decided that he would let the shadow investigate the matter after he went back, but his face was already full of smiles, and he said to the boatman: "Boatman, drive the boat." ”

The boatman replied and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Zhang Xiu knew that these boatmen generally shouted adults to people who came out of the inner city, and he didn't care, so he said casually: "Go wherever it is lively."

When the boatman heard this, he responded, "Okay." Now there is a play staged on the stage of the East Market, which is a troupe taught by the General of the Fat Cavalry himself, and it is performed on the stage of the East Market only twice a month at the beginning of the month and twice in the middle of the month. Why don't you go there and have a look? ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and nodded, "That's good." Go for it".

This so-called drama was also made up by Zhang Xiu in the past two years of idleness to enrich the lives of the people. When Zhang Xiu visited Chang'an for the first time, he saw that Chang'an City was prosperous day and night, and there were vendors everywhere, which was quite the style of Bianjing in the Song Dynasty in history. However, after swimming once, Zhang Xiu now has a lot less entertainment programs, and he also knows that the life of the people in the late Han Dynasty is not rich, on the one hand, it is the reason for the shortage of food, on the other hand, it is also due to Zhang Xiu's construction of the new Chang'an City, which is too forward-looking, and other entertainment aspects have not followed the leaping exhibition, unable to keep up, so it leads to a lack of it.

However, with the increase in grain production due to the widespread use of Quyuan plough, and the reopening of the trade route to the Western Regions, the two merchants gathered, and the people also had surplus grain in the middle of the year.

So Zhang Xiu found some poor women, taught them dance and music, and integrated this dance and music into a short story, the first to play is Farewell My Concubine. And these women can also get Zhang Xiu's reward money to help make up for the difficult life of the family.

At the same time, these poor women go to the two newly built stages in the east and west of Chang'an City to perform for the people on the first and fifteenth days of each month. And these women are also very smart. After understanding, he also interpreted some famous events in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Pre-Han Dynasty, which had to be regarded as another cultural leap exhibition under Zhang Xiu's intervention.

The stage is built in the center of the river, which is usually like an isolated island, so it is not very large. Next to the stage is Dongshi, and there are many passers-by. This stage belongs to the management of Chang'an Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and there are usually some new troupes performing here, and there is no need to spend money to perform here, just register. After the performance, you can ask the people for a reward. However, whether to give or not is the people's decision, and they can't be forced, and generally those who perform well can get rewards.

Of course, these are the opera troupes of the common people, and the performance of the women organized by Zhang Xiu is the top performance, so every first and fifteenth day of the new year, it attracts a large number of people in Chang'an City and the merchants who stay in Chang'an to do business.

Today happens to be the fifteenth, Zhang Xiu's boat is not too early, but it is not too late, so the place where it stops is not far from the stage, and of course it cannot be at the front. There is no drama yet, but many businessmen from all over the country who have come to Chang'an to do business have come here, and they have rented a boat early to occupy a good position. Xiao Zhang Feng saw it strangely, so he looked around, but Zhang Xiu was afraid that she would fall into the water, so he kept holding her.

At this time, there were already many people's boats shouting around. Sell some melons and fruits, home-brewed wine, side dishes and other foods, so that the theater watchers can eat and watch at the same time.

Zhang Xiu saw this scene and secretly sighed, if it weren't for him, the scene in front of him would not have appeared until at least the Song Dynasty, and because of his arrival, all this changed, and the civilization of China was accelerated countless times. Although because the time is still short. Substance and richness are still lacking. But given time, the Chinese civilization will inevitably reach its original peak ahead of schedule, and it is more likely to surpass it later.

Zhang Xiu said to the boatman: "The boatman, go buy some melons, fruits and side dishes, and the wine will not be played." My children are still too young to drink, if there is a homemade tea from the people, I will buy some to Zhang Xiu and hand the boatman some big money, and the boatman will answer after taking it, and shout behind the boat.

When Zhang Xiu was waiting, there were many loud voices behind him, Zhang Xiu listened attentively, but heard these people shouting: "Look, our great talent is here."

Zhang Xiu looked for prestige, but saw that on the bow of the boat that everyone was pointing to, there was a thin young man in white Confucian clothes, polite and polite, about twenty years old. I saw that this son's complexion was very white. It looks a little unhealthy, but it makes it more bookish.

He thanked the people around him who waved to him one by one, and he was graceful in his demeanor. One's own man. However, the smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel that he was a little frivolous, but this trace of frivolity did not affect his image, but added a unique charm.

Zhang Xiu saw this young man, his eyes widened, put Zhang Feng on the boat, and laughed loudly at the young man: "Who is here with such a big shelf, it turns out to be Brother Guo, you prodigal son, no wonder!" No wonder! "Who is this white-robed scribe? It is rumored that the team has just passed the Tiger Prison. Looking at Cao Cao's envoys from Chang'an, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

Guo Jia naturally recognized Zhang Xiu, but when he saw Zhang Xiu for the first time, Guo Jia was still surprised, but immediately regained his composure, arched his hand towards Zhang Xiu from afar, and said: "It turned out to be Brother Zhang, I haven't seen him for a few years, Brother Zhang is okay?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "TOEFL, my body is still very strong." Since Brother Guo has come to Chang'an. Why not notify the next voice, so that in the next landlord's friendship. ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Brother Zhang said that Guo is a prodigal son, so naturally he will play in Chang'an alone for a few days before looking for Brother Zhang."

In the middle of the conversation between the two, Guo Jia's boat had already sailed. When Zhang Xiu saw it, he smiled and said: "It's better to meet by chance, why don't you come to Zhang's boat for a get-together." How is it? ”

Guo Jia laughed and replied, "Okay." After speaking, he jumped on Zhang Xiu's boat, threw a handful of money and the boatman, and said: "You go back first, the boatman originally didn't like Zhang Xiu's guest Guo Jia, but when he saw Guo Jia's generous move, he changed to row away happily, leaving only a lot of envious eyes from the nearby boatmen."

Zhang Xiu invited Guo Jia into the cabin, and the boatman had already bought the fruits and other things. A desk was filled, and Zhang Xiu picked up little Zhang Feng again. Then he personally poured a cup of tea with Guo Jia and said: "These are just coarse teas grown by the people themselves." It is not better to hide in the embroidery house, and do not dislike filial piety

Guo Jia laughed and said, "The people's tea is the real good tea." After speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea inside.

After Guo Jia finished drinking tea, she saw Xiao Zhang Feng, who looked like a porcelain doll, and said with a smile: "Ling Nuan is so cute, she must be a great beauty like her mother when she grows up."

Seeing Guo Jia laughing, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You old man, even Xiu's daughter is also teasing, I don't know how Meng De can tolerate you, a prodigal son, if you go to Yuan Benchu, I'm afraid I will cut you off and throw you into Zhangshui to feed the fish in a few days." small

Guo Jia heard it and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Guo is not eating at Yuan Benchu's place." Even if Meng De doesn't want someone Guo, someone Guo can come to Chang'an. I believe that the fat cavalry general will also leave a mouthful of food with Guo

Zhang Xiu heard this, and said half-truthfully: "If you Guo Da Prodigal Son is willing to come, embroidery has good wine and meat for you every day, so what's the matter."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "This is to see when Meng De doesn't want Guo."

Zhang Xiu smiled and didn't pick up the topic again, but asked: "Guan Fangcai and everyone know Fengxiao, but I'm afraid that Fengxiao has been in Chang'an for a while, right?" ”
