Chapter 206: Why did the prince come over so early in the morning?
Seeing her like this, Lin's smile became a little more and more, and he asked Zhuangziqi's opinion again, and after getting the affirmative answer that he could go out, he changed his clothes with great interest and took Gu Jiu out of the door.
It's a little sad to say, although Lin is already in her thirties and almost forty, but in the past half of her life, she has not once been a serious person to go to Beijing.
In the past, when she went out, she either sat in a carriage or passed by in a hurry, and she seemed to have a destination every time.
Only this time was different, with Gu Jiu, the two of them turned around Chang'an Street, and also went to Linlang Pavilion after rectification.
When he was tired of leaving, Lin smiled and pointed to the Wude Building over there, and asked, "I remember that the most popular opera troupe in Shanghai must be singing here, I don't know if this is still the case now?" ”
Gu Jiu followed her guidance and looked over, and after seeing what the place was, he immediately nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know if it's the most popular, but the troupe that is singing in this Wude Building is now in the limelight at the Hundred Flowers Banquet." ”
When she said this, she saw the opera sign hanging at the door, and today it is an old play, called "The Peony Pavilion".
Seeing the familiar name on it, Yin added: "Mother, do you still remember, the chivalrous actor who helped Bai Wuyuan is the Chunxiao girl who starred today." ”
Hearing this, Lin really became a little interested, and bent his lips and smiled: "Since that's the case, let's really go in and listen to it." ”
She only had some impressions when she only listened to Gu Jiu that time, and when she came to this match, she became more and more curious.
Gu Jiuyuan also wanted to make the Lin family happy, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "You are careful of the steps." ”
Lin responded with a smile, who knew that he had just gone up the steps, but he paused slightly, turned his head to the side, and asked suspiciously, "What are the two of them doing?" ”
Gu Jiu followed her gaze, but was slightly stunned.
There is a small alley next to Wude Building, the sunlight does not shine in, and the weather in the afternoon is still slightly dark.
There were two people in the alley pulling and pulling.
One is dressed in costumes and looks exquisite, and the other is a tattered and sloppy old man.
And one of them has a very familiar face.
It was the Chunxiao that Gu Jiu had told the Lin family.
The old beggar didn't know what to say, so he saw Chunxiao stuff him with a bracelet, and saw the old beggar turn around and leave with a smile.
Seeing that the man disappeared into the alley in a few steps, Chunxiao turned around impatiently, but who knew that it happened to meet Gu Jiu's eyes.
"Mrs. Shiko?"
When he saw Gu Jiu, Chunxiao didn't react at first, but when he remembered the identity of the other party, he was a little flustered.
Gu Jiu didn't see it, only nodded and said, "What a coincidence, Miss Chunxiao." ”
"Well, yes, are you here to listen to the play, please come inside."
Seeing Chunxiao's disguised appearance, Gu Jiu didn't delve into it, but just helped Lin into the door, and said with a smile: "Yes, I just saw the sign hanging outside the door, today are you Du Liniang?" ”
"Exactly, the horn was sick before, so I am on top today, but I want to show you a joke."
Chunxiao said this, and quietly put away the little panic.
Just now...... They probably didn't see it clearly, right?
Thinking like this, she heard Gu Jiuyan smile casually and asked, "There are also beggars outside this Wude Building?" ”
Hearing this, Chunxiao's heart jumped, and she laughed softly: "Madam doesn't know, there was no original." It's just that the play started today, and the one named Hanako took the opportunity to come over to beg for money - with a number of treasures in his mouth, and new words and old songs kept coming in front of the class owner, and he couldn't even give it, but it made you see a joke. ”
These beggars are all good at limerick poetry, and I don't know where to learn it, and they are strung together in a few words, and the opening is auspicious, but if they don't give money, then they will sing some bad luck to find fault.
Today's troupe is playing, and it is resident in the Wude Building, so it is not surprising that Hanako is called to find it.
But the strange thing is Chunxiao's attitude.
If she had a natural expression, Gu Jiu wouldn't have thought elsewhere, but her expression flickered when she explained now, which made her think a little more.
That beggar, what's so special about it?
When she thought of this, she saw Lin pursing her lips and reminding with a smile: "Ah Jiu, watch your step." ”
Gu Jiu came back to his senses at this time, and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, mother." ”
Because of Gu Jiu's help before, Chunxiao was also very grateful to her, and personally sent people to the box on the second floor, and let Xiao Er serve good wine and food, and then saluted and smiled: "This play will start in a while, I will go over first, and I will come to you to say hello when the curtain is over." ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled and asked her to be busy, and after Chunxiao went, she heard Lin smile and said to Gu Jiu: "This girl is good." ”
Probably because of the makeup on the play, a pair of eyes look forward to Shenfei, and he looks handsome, as if he came out of a painting.
Hearing her words, Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "The drama is also good." ”
The two of them also came out of eating, but now they are not hungry, so they can take melon seeds and knock on the pastime, while watching the good show on the stage.
Today's play is Du Liniang, and Chunxiao is the protagonist.
Gu Jiu said it well, her play was indeed sung well, tactful and affectionate, and Lin was immediately attracted to attention.
On the contrary, it was Gu Jiu, who was suddenly stunned when he inadvertently looked around.
"Shizi?"
Lin was originally listening to the play, and when he heard what she said, he also came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Gu Jiu, and asked, "Who?" ”
Gu Jiu looked at the group of people who walked in from outside the door with some disbelief, pointed to the person in charge, and said, "Mother, look at it, isn't that the son of the world?" ”
Is she dazzled? At this time, Qin Zheng should be working in Dali Temple.
Hearing Gu Jiu's words, the Lin family followed her guidance and looked at the young man in a black robe, who was not her son.
Probably feeling their gaze, Qin Zheng raised his head as soon as he realized it, and met Gu Jiusi's eyes.
He was in a rare daze, and saw that there was still a Lin sitting next to him, so he turned around and explained a few words to his subordinates, and he went up to the second floor.
"Mother, Ah Jiu."
Seeing Qin Zheng coming, Lin smiled gently, and asked softly, "But you're here to work?" ”
The people around him, Lin all recognized, were his subordinates.
Hearing this, Qin Zheng only smiled gently: "Come and hang out, and take them to eat something by the way." ”
It's just that the battle of those few people doesn't look like they're hanging out.
Gu Jiu saw through it without saying anything, greeted Qin Zheng, and poured him tea at the same time.
Qin Zheng thanked him, took a sip of the teacup, and asked with a smile: "Mother is so interested, why did she remember to listen to the play?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu quietly kicked him under the table, but Lin didn't care, and said: "It's rare to be idle on the last day today, come out for a walk, and the province will have no chance for the next half a year." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng suddenly wanted to slap his head, but the kick that Gu Jiu kicked him made him feel inexplicable...... There is some joy that cannot be hidden.
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship was very close, how could Gu Jiu make such a presumptuous move.
Gu Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard Lin's words at this time, he laughed softly: "If the prince has something to do, get busy first, don't hinder me and my mother from listening to the play." ”
Although he just said that he was lounging, Gu Jiu knew the person in front of him in the end, and knew that he was not such an idle and boring character, and he probably had other things to do when he came here today.
As soon as she said this, she heard Lin frown slightly and said, "This girl sang the wrong words." ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu was slightly stunned, and when he looked at the stage, he saw that Chunxiao not only sang the wrong words, but even the footwork was messed up a few times.
Some people in the audience already began to cheer, but Chunxiao adjusted in an instant, and continued to sing casually: "The smoke waves paint the boat, and the people of Jinping look at this Shaoguang cheap." ”
There was an old beggar outside the door who was detained and taken away, and the one who held him was not someone else, it was a subordinate of Dali Temple - when he entered the door, that person followed Qin Zheng.
Gu Jiu's eyes shrank slightly, and he didn't know what Qin Zheng's intention was to catch an old beggar with great fanfare.
She thought of this, and then remembered that Fang Chunxiao pulled the beggar and looked flustered, and she guessed more and more in her heart.
Qin Zheng didn't care about the following scene, seeing that the scene was still continuing, he smiled and accepted Lin's words, and said: "Ah Jiu, you accompany your mother to listen to the play, I still have some important things, so I will leave first." ”
When he said this, he thought for a while, and then said, "It's going to be late today, so you and your mother will go back early." ”
Hearing this, the Lin family naturally smiled and let him go, but Gu Jiu glanced at him thoughtfully.
After a short time, the scene has come to an end.
Chunxiao was drunk several times during this period, and when he got off the stage, he was a little embarrassed. Lazy people listen to books
Naturally, when he stepped down, he was scolded by the class owner for splitting his head and covering his face, but Chunxiao didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly changed his costume, and his face was not cleaned up, so he hurriedly walked out.
She went out along the back door of the Wude Building and ran all the way towards the alley in her memory.
But before he could reach the place, he felt a chill behind him.
No, someone is following her!
It was probably the innate sense of crisis that made Chunxiao pause immediately.
She casually pulled off the silver hairpin ornament on her head and threw it fiercely, and the next moment, she saw someone walking out of the darkness of the alley, holding this sharp bead flower in her hand, and her expression was full of flirtatious smiles: "Chunxiao girl, what a ruthless heart." ”
Seeing the visitor, Chunxiao's heart jumped fiercely, and her face was full of vigilance: "Lord Zheng, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to follow me?" ”
Chunxiao's face was still oily, and a robe was wrapped around her body at random, and her appearance was a little messy.
But now the beauty is solemn, which adds to the heroism.
Hearing her words, Zheng Huailuo sneered and said lightly: "Miss Chunxiao's words are so strange, the road is half the way to the sky, why do you think that I am following you, not that you are coveting me?" ”
Zheng Huailuo gave birth to a baby face, and the smile in his eyebrows and eyes was very innocent, but unfortunately no one would believe it.
Especially in Dali Temple, I have already seen the spring dawn of his methods.
She gritted her teeth, knowing that arguing with this man was the most unwise option, and turned around to go back to the way she came.
Unexpectedly, she was blocked by a folding fan.
Chunxiao was stopped by him, and the alarm bell became more and more loud in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't the adults say that the road is half of the sky, why are you blocking me now?" ”
Hearing this, Zheng Huailuo sneered and said lightly: "Miss Chunxiao, don't get me wrong, where am I blocking your way, I am obviously saving you from the sea of suffering-I have also lived together under the eaves of Dali Temple, I remind you, go where you should go, don't hesitate, don't regret." I've always been a pity, but I don't like to do things with women. ”
As soon as he said this, Chunxiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran out, but was stopped by Zheng Huailuo: "Toast and don't eat and drink." ”
The two of them started in the narrow dark alley, but Chunxiao was not Zheng Huailuo's opponent, but after a moment, she was at a disadvantage, she gritted her teeth, and threw all the messy jewelry on her head with it.
Zheng Huailuo said a word of defeat on the one hand, and on the other hand, he greeted him fearlessly, and directly subdued the person, but he still owed a lot of money in his mouth: "The girl is so disobedient, but she has disappointed Zheng's kindness." ”
Who knew that before his words fell, he heard Chunxiao smile coldly: "Not necessarily." ”
When Zheng Huailuo heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How can you see ......?"
But before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and the whole person fell to the ground.
There was a man standing there against the light, Chunxiao couldn't see his face clearly, but the moment he saw the man stretch out his hand, he stood up with his strength.
"Thank you."
The girl's voice was stubborn, but her eyes couldn't hide her affection.
It's just that the man turned against the light and told her not to really see what the person in front of her meant.
His lips opened slightly, but he said, "Follow me." ”
……
"What did you say?"
Qin Zheng originally wanted to use this martial arts building to sing a song to catch turtles in an urn, but who knew that Gu Jiu and the Lin family were here, so he could only change places temporarily.
Fortunately, Chunxiao's performance did not surprise him, and the process of the old beggar was also very smooth.
Qin Zheng avoided alarming the Lin family, so he simply took people back to Dali Temple first, and in order to avoid suspicion, the Lin family assigned Zheng Huailuo to arrest Chunxiao.
Who knew that after returning to Dali Temple for half a day, even the old beggar's mouth was pried open by him, but he didn't wait for the spring dawn.
"What about people?"
Zheng Huailuo came in dejectedly, his face turned red, but when he saw Qin Zheng, he knelt down directly: "The subordinates are incompetent, and the people have run away." ”
"Ran away?"
Qin Zheng's expression was indifferent, and Zheng Huailuo's heart became more and more worried.
At that time, Qin Zheng instructed him to bring people back directly, but Zheng Huailuo felt that this was a good time, and seeing that Chunxiao was probably going to the lair, he simply followed the people directly. Who knew that he couldn't be handsome, but he capsized in the gutter, and he was knocked unconscious, and he didn't even know who that person was!
"There is definitely more than one person behind this spring dawn, and I suspect that there is an internal response!"
He said that there was a basis for him, otherwise when he went to arrest her today, it was just a temporary action, how could someone pinch and give her a stick?
If you hadn't known the news of their actions in advance, you would never have been calculated!
Zheng Huailuo thought clearly, but saw Qin Zheng's eyebrows and eyes cold: "Go and get the punishment." ”
"Yes......"
Zheng Huailuo did the errand, and he didn't argue, and went dejectedly, but he was a little indignant. Let him know who gave him a stick, and the person he definitely beat is looking for teeth all over the ground!
It's just that he went out with an angry expression, but he might as well hit a human wall directly.
"Hmm, who is so unold...... White-sama? ”
Zheng Huailuo looked surprised, why did Bai Wuyuan come to their Dali Temple?
This life is too impactful, one side of the gods and Buddhas and the other side of the demon fear, if it weren't for Zheng Huailuo's good concentration, just facing his injuries so closely, I am afraid that I would be scared directly.
Bai Wuyuan nodded lightly: "Lord Zheng." ”
He looked calm, looked at Zheng Huailuo who was not moving in front of him, and said again: "Can you give way?" ”
Zheng Huailuo reacted at this time, and after responding, he remembered that he still had to be punished, so he turned around and went dejectedly.
Bai Wuyuan entered the door by himself: "Lord Qin." ”
Fang heard his voice inside the door, and when he saw Bai Wuyuan at this time, Qin Zheng just nodded: "Lord Bai is here, is there something important?" ”
He asked indifferently, but Bai Wuyuan said directly: "Surrender yourself." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, but Jiang Daochen on the side was slightly stunned and asked, "Lord Bai, are you confused?" ”
What did this man say, and what did he mean by turning himself in?
Bai Wuyuan nodded in response, "I let Chunxiao go." ”
This is tantamount to directly admitting that Zheng Huailuo was also beaten by him.
If Zheng Huailuo hadn't left now, I'm afraid that he would be able to come back and directly press people to the ground and beat them first!
There was a thunderclap on the ground, but Qin Zheng's expression didn't change at all, and he only asked: "Why?" ”
Bai Wuyuan's expression was indifferent, and he spoke very frankly: "Repay the favor." ”
He looked directly at Qin Zheng and said calmly: "She saved me, so I let her go, and I will report it back." ”
"So, you're here to replace your sin?"
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Bai Wuyuan smiled, he looked at Qin Zheng frankly, and said word by word: "I'm here to atone for my crimes." ”
When Bai Wuyuan said this, he asked again: "Lord Qin, I have a clue about the Red Lotus Sect here, I don't know if I can repent of it?" ”
……
Early the next morning, when Gu Jiu was freshening up and preparing for breakfast, he saw Qin Zheng walk in from outside.
The April day was warm even in the morning, and even Qin Zheng's body was shrouded in a layer of daylight.
Gu Jiu was about to sit down to eat, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Zheng like this, and at the same time, he was surprised, and at the same time, his heart beat slightly.
The man bathed in the rising sun seems to be like a painting in the morning.
She quickly retracted her thoughts, put on a smile, and asked, "Why did the prince come here so early in the morning?" ”
Qin Zheng didn't know why he came over at this time.
In fact, he didn't return all night last night, and when he got up early and came back to the house, his first reaction was to come to Gu Jiu to have a look.
By the time he could react, he was already there.
The prince who hadn't even changed his clothes coughed lightly and covered up: "Come to dinner." ”
