Chapter 20: The Town

Amid the laughter of the group, the carriage came to a small town.

Gu Yuan reined in his horse and stopped at the door of a house in the center of the town.

Then he jumped out of the carriage, and Lilac came down with him.

"Sir, it's getting dark, let's stay in this town tonight."

When King Yan heard this, he was about to answer yes, when he saw that the three children had jumped off the carriage one after another.

He smiled and shook his head, the children were still very positive.

Li Suo Luo and Ji Ling both stood obediently to the side, and Qiao An looked around excitedly.

After King Yan came down, Gu Yuan explained.

"This mansion was arranged in advance by me in my personal name with the local county order, and the lord can rest assured that his identity has not been revealed."

"At first, I planned to settle in the inn, but I was afraid that the children would not like it, and there were many people, although the area of this house is not large, but it is also located in the center of the town, and the environment is okay."

King Yan smiled and waved his hand, "I can rest assured that you are doing things." ”

After speaking, he walked in front and walked towards the door, Gu Yuan and Lilac walked behind with the child.

Walk in and see, although this house is small, but it is complete, the main room has a hall, on both sides of the ear room, in the middle is a garden, a pavilion stands in it.

Qiao An broke free of Gu Yuan's hand and crept to Li Suoluo's side.

He also leaned into her ear and said, "Little princess, I just saw a juggler outside, let's go and see if it's okay together." ”

He didn't dare to tell Ding Xiangniang directly, he was afraid of being beaten, and he didn't dare to tell King Yan directly, as for Ji Ling, he didn't want to pay attention to him, thinking about it, it was better for the little princess to talk.

Li Suo Luo looked at him with a smile, but it was King Yan who suddenly looked over.

"What? Want to hang out? ”

Since King Yan has asked, Qiao An will definitely not let go of this rare opportunity, anyway, it was not me who spoke first.

He nodded quickly, indicating his wishes, and did not forget to add.

"There are jugglers outside, stepping on tightropes and breaking boulders on their chests, which is super fun."

After speaking, he also looked at Li Suoluo, as if seeking recognition.

Li Suo Luo spread his hands helplessly.

King Yan found a stone bench and sat down.

"Gu Yuan, you take the three children to play."

"Whoa."

Seeing that King Yan agreed, Qiao An immediately pulled Li Suo Luo and ran to Gu Yuan's uncle's side, and walked out with Gu Yuan.

Li Suluo glanced at Ji Ling, hooked his hand at him, and motioned for him to follow.

Ji Ling turned his head to look at King Yan and saw that King Yan nodded at him, so he was relieved to follow Qiao An and the others.

Gu Yuan introduced the three children as he walked.

"This is Qingping Town, the most prosperous town in Yan Country near the south, and it's getting dark, so we have to live here."

When Ji Ling heard the word south, he instantly raised his head and looked at Li Suo Luo with puzzled eyes.

"Little Gong-Miss, where are we going this time?"

Fortunately, he remembered to change his name.

Li Shaoluo glanced at him, and said lightly, "Go to a fun place." ”

"Oh." Ji Ling silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Suo Luo asked Qiao An indifferently, "Where are you talking about juggling?" Why didn't we see it all this way. ”

Joan was also looking around in confusion, when suddenly her eyes lit up and she pointed ahead triumphantly.

"Miss, there."

Gu Yuan held Qiao An with one hand and Li Suluo with the other, Ji Ling followed behind, and the three of them walked towards the juggling side.

There were already some people around the venue, all ordinary people watching the excitement like them.

These jugglers are generally people from the rivers and lakes, with a little bit of martial arts, so they make some money by performing, and the spectators are also used to it, and they will appreciate more or less money if they think that the wonderful places will be more or less rewarded.

Now the performance is a woman walking a tightrope, the woman looks to be in her twenties, wearing simple clothes, her hair is tied up high, and the whole person is fresh and clean.

The woman's light body rolled and jumped on the tightrope, sometimes turning her head and smiling happily at the audience, looking relaxed and at ease, and the surrounding audience applauded again and again.

Qiao An kept squeezing her body forward, wanting to get closer, but Gu Yuan had to grab his hand fiercely, and the result was that Gu Yuan and Li Suo Luo were pulled forward together.

Li Suluo turned his head and saw Ji Ling, silently stretched out his hand to hold him, and whispered, "Don't get lost." ”

Ji Ling nodded, there are indeed quite a few people here.

"Have you seen this kind of show before?" Li Suo Luo bent his head and asked Ji Ling.

"Nope." Ji Ling shook his head.

"I used to live in a very deserted house, except for me and my mother, there was only one older man."

"They don't talk to me about outside things, so a lot of them I read from books. Later I found out that the old man was actually a eunuch. ”

As he spoke, Ji Ling's voice lowered and leaned into Li Suoluo's ear.

"Then you're a little pitiful." Li Suo Luo said with a little emotion.

But according to him, he grew up in the palace.

Ji Ling also nodded in agreement, "It's really boring." ”

"What about this?" Li Suo Luo pointed to the woman who was stepping on a tightrope.

Ji Ling smiled, "It's funny." ”

"Do you like it?"

"I like it."

"What a fool."

Ji Ling touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

This is Qiao An suddenly turned his head and asked Gu Yuan: "Uncle Gu Yuan, are you rich?" ”

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, took out a bit of broken silver from his waist and handed it to Qiao An.

It turned out that Joan saw that the people around her were throwing money into the performers, and she wanted to vote for it.

Gu Yuan had no choice but to keep pulling him, and he couldn't let go anyway.

Li Suo Luo hurriedly pulled Ji Ling to follow.

Joan threw in the broken silver, and then took a deep breath of satisfaction.

But at this moment, the crowd around began to crowd and went in one direction, and the performer also packed up his things and prepared to call it a day.

Night is falling.

Gu Yuan asked curiously the men and women who were preparing to call it a day.

"Is this what happened? Why is everyone going over there? ”

The woman who was performing just now stood up and said in a loud voice: "Over there, there is a rich man who holds a lantern for his daughter tonight to pray for blessings, and everyone goes to join in the fun." ”

"Lanterns?" Gu Yuan habitually asked rhetorically.

"That's right, then Master Lin's daughter is a great beauty in our Qingping Town." The woman said with a smug face.

When Qiao An heard this, she couldn't hold it back, and pulled Gu Yuan's arm straight.

"Uncle Gu, let's go too, I want to play."

While coquettishly, he didn't forget to ask Li Suo Luo and Ji Ling.

"You want to go too, don't you?"

After speaking, he looked at Gu Yuan again, "Uncle Gu, look, we all want to go." ”

Li Suluo and Ji Ling both looked at him quietly and did not say a word.

"Okay."

The group followed the crowd.
