The charcoal fire under the iron pot had gradually burned to extinguish, Jian Xiaozhu swallowed the last piece of mutton in the bowl, and sighed with satisfaction: "I am so happy!" It's been a long time since I've been so happy! ”

Xiao Cumin, who was burying her head in eating meat and had a mouth full of oil, heard Jian Xiaozhu say this, and clapped her hands happily and smiled: "Big sister feels happy, and I am also very happy!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu touched Xiao Jian's head with a smile: "It's good to be happy, life has to be enjoyed in time!" ”

But Zhu Yan said coldly: "Don't teach bad children." ”

Jian Xiaozhu glanced at him: "Is there something wrong?" Isn't life all about being happy, for example, when I ate hot pot today, I feel very happy. ”

Zhu Yan sneered: "You are really easy to be satisfied." ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "I just want to live a simple life." ”

Zhu Yan: "However, you will soon be going to the palace again." It's not an easy place. ”

didn't expect Zhu Yan to say such a thing, Jian Xiaozhu looked at him in surprise, while Zhu Yan continued to ask, "You don't like it there, do you?" ”

Thinking that Zhu Yan was Bai Ningshuang's cousin, Jian Xiaozhu was afraid that he would make a small report, so he hurriedly said, "Also...... No. ”

Zhu Yan snorted coldly: "Hypocrisy." ”

Jian Xiaozhu didn't dare to speak again.

When I walked out of Tiewa's house, it was already completely dark. The night was falling, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. The cold night was slightly cool, and the cold wind rustled the branches of the trees on the roadside. It was dark at night, but there was a faint glow of fire from the house on the side of the road.

Jian Xiaozhu followed the firelight and walked forward, and the brighter and brighter firelight led her to the night market, where there were more and more pedestrians. Zhu Yan walked silently behind her until the two walked into the noisy crowd, Jian Xiaozhu turned around and said to Zhu Yan: "Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, but I still want to walk around the night market, so you better go home first." ”

But Zhu Yan glanced at Jian Xiaozhu: "I'm just dropping by, don't think about it." ”

Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly shut up.

Walking along the street, Jian Xiaozhu saw the lanterns lit up outside the shops on the side of the road, lighting up the entire street market as if it were day. At night, the market is bustling with activity. On both sides of the street, shops of all kinds are still open, and people walking by are holding snacks bought from roadside stalls or haggling with their owners in the shops.

Jian Xiaozhu walked to the door of a teahouse, only to see that the outside of the teahouse was full of people. Jian Xiaozhu approached, only to find that a scene seemed to be being staged inside the teahouse. Jian Xiaozhu wanted to see what the ancient drama was like, so she tried her best to squeeze into the teahouse from the crowd.

It's just that there are too many strong men in the crowd, and before Jian Xiaozhu can break out of the encirclement, he was almost knocked down by a big man who turned around and walked out of the crowd. Fortunately, Zhu Yan supported Jian Xiaozhu in time: "I'm stupid." ”

Jian Xiaozhu smiled at Zhu Yan embarrassedly, Zhu Yan rolled his eyes, then pulled Jian Xiaozhu's sleeve, and said to her angrily, "Follow me." ”

With Zhu Yan opening the way in front, Jian Xiaozhu quickly entered the teahouse. Although Zhu Yan likes to put on a stinky face on weekdays, Jian Xiaozhu at this time felt in an instant that he seemed to feel quite safe walking by his side.

Walking from the crowd to the teahouse, Jian Xiaozhu saw a small stage in the center of the teahouse, on which stood a man with his face painted like white paper, he was wearing a white Luo skirt, pinching his voice and singing a song that didn't sound good to Jian Xiaozhu, but it wasn't unpleasant.

After Jian Xiaozhu threw a few copper plates to the shopkeeper, he was taken to an empty table and sat down. On the stage, the man was also singing excitedly, and Jian Xiaozhu heard that the man was playing a woman who was waiting for her husband to return at home. Her husband was a general and was out on the road. The woman waited at home for his triumphant return, but what she waited for was the news that the general had rebelled and was killed, and the whole family was going to be connected with the nine clans.

Hearing the plot related to the Zhulian Nine Clans, Jian Xiaozhu couldn't help but think of Zhang Ruohe, whose fate was reversed, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes luck is really important. The general's wife played in the play on stage, she was very unlucky. obviously didn't go out at home, but he encountered a flying disaster. ”

Zhu Yan said coldly: "Everyone has a life. ”

On the stage, the servant who played the general's wife suddenly fell straight down on the stage when he received the holy decree. And that's when the whole scene ended. This made Jian Xiaozhu look confused: "I just came, why is it gone?" Isn't it done? ”

Zhu Yan's voice was very cold: "The general's whole family is full of beheading, and the nine clans are connected." And that's the end of it. ”

Jian Xiaozhu sighed: "People, why should you be ambitious? It's not good to live a good life. Look at the general in the story, he was originally powerful and rich, he can be described as a hero among people, and he is already a very peak existence. But in order to satisfy his ambitions, he ran to rebel, no, not only harmed himself, but also ruined the whole family. Alas, I guess the person who made up this play just wanted to warn ......"

However, Zhu Yan interrupted Jian Xiaozhu's words in a cold voice: "This is not made up, but what really happened thirteen years ago. ”

"Huh?" Jian Xiaozhu was surprised: "It really happened? Is it in the source country? ”

Seeing Zhu Yan nodding, Jian Xiaozhu thought, as the author of this novel, how could she not know about this matter at all.

After the music stopped, the singers on the stage got up from the ground, and the other characters in the play also appeared on the curtain one after another. Jian Xiaozhu saw that among the actors who took the curtain call, a person wearing a general's uniform always wore a mask with green fangs and never took it off.

Jian Xiaozhu asked Zhu Yan, "Why is that person wearing a mask all the time?" ”

Zhu Yan: "Because the role of the general, in the play, is a ghost-like existence. After all, he is a criminal who plots rebellion. The person who plays the role of a general will not show his face to others. ”

Jian Xiaozhu nodded, remembering that in the TV series, those actors who played bad guys would be scolded for a long time after the play. So the person who plays the general can only wear a mask and act, so that when the drama is over, he will not be beaten when he walks on the street.

Amid applause and cheers, the man who played the general's wife showed a charming smile to the audience: "Thank you for your support." ”

Immediately afterward, a swarm of screams erupted from the crowd, almost all of them women. Jian Xiaozhu looked at the stage, this servant was indeed good-looking, so he said, "His popularity seems to be very high." But ......"

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Zhu Yan, and then said with a smile: "You are much better looking than him." If you stand on the stage, it is estimated that the people in the audience will not find out that you are a man dressed as a woman. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yan's eyes became gloomy, Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly shut up and shuddered.
