177 Storytelling

The two of them talked on the phone, and it was noon, Xiao Kunzi set up the carriage and luggage, and entered the guest room in a dusty manner, leaning over me and Zaiyan: "The servant has already instructed the cousin to prepare wine and food at the fall, and the two masters must be hungry on the way!" ”

Then, Zai Yan stroked his stomach and said with a smile: "I'm really a little hungry," he got up as he spoke, stretched his waist, walked to Xiao Kunzi's side with his hands behind his back and whispered, "Don't call the slave master in the future, since you are out of the Forbidden City, you will be a family." After speaking, a faint smile appeared in the corner of Zaiyan's eyes and went straight out.

Seeing Xiao Kunzi standing in place with a helpless expression, I smiled lightly, patted Xiao Kunzi on the shoulder and said, "The days are still very long, let's get used to it slowly!" ”

As soon as I said this, Xiao Kunzi's face became even paler.

I was about to raise my feet, but Xiao Kunzi stopped me and said: "Master, Niangniang and the emperor are both masters of slaves, and the slaves really dare not call Niangniang and the emperor as a family!" ”

I hurriedly turned around and motioned to him to silence with a serious look, and whispered: "You must no longer call him 'Niangniang' or 'Emperor' outside, if you are heard by someone with bad intentions, something big will happen." ”

Xiao Kunzi's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly said: "The slave is speechless, and the slave is his own palm!" As he spoke, Xiao Kunzi slapped himself in the face twice.

Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped: "Don't do this! Then, he helped Xiao Kunzi up, "Zai Xiang is right, when you come out of the Forbidden City, we are a family!" ”

Xiao Kunzi looked frightened, and said in an anxious tone: "Master, isn't this the life of a slave?" ”

I shook my head, looked at Xiao Kunzi and said, "You are also a person who has gone to school, you should know that from the moment you came out of the Forbidden City, the three of us have been living and dying together, and we can be regarded as friends in trouble, right?" ”

Xiao Kunzi was still trembling, but his eyes told me that he had affirmed my words, but he didn't dare to respond because of his identity.

After a moment, I pulled his arm and said with a smile: "Let's go down quickly, Zai Yan is waiting for him to death." ”

Xiao Kunzi smiled faintly and nodded.

As soon as I went down to the first floor, the cousin greeted me, "Why did Madame come down?" He smiled again: "How long have you been waiting at the bottom!" ”

I laughed and didn't say anything.

The attendant sat on one side, pointed to the stage that had just been set up in the lobby and said with a smile: "Soon this inn will start telling stories." ”

I asked, "How much longer?" ”

The cousin folded his fingers and counted: "It will probably be a moment before I start ordering the playbook." ”

I said "oh" and came to the table, where there were already four dishes and one soup on the table, and Zai Yan was sitting on the chair, holding his head and looking straight at the stage in front of him.

I asked, "What?" ”

Zai Yan raised his hand and pointed to the stage and asked the cousin on the side: "What kind of drama script will be on it?" ”

The cousin thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what the master and the lady want to hear." ”

I looked sideways and asked, "You also said the secret history of the court?" ”

The cousin nodded, "As long as the master and the lady are interested, and the money is enough, the shop will definitely say it!" ”

Zai Yan glanced at Xiao Kunzi.

Xiao Kunzi understood, took out a whole ingot of silver from his arms and buckled it on the table.

The silver of the white flowers is dazzling.

Zai Xiang asked, "Is it enough?" ”

The cousin's eyes widened, and he said continuously: "Enough, enough!" ”

The cousin was reaching out to take it, but Zai Yanyan quickly took it back, held it in his hand and said: "The silver lord has it, but the lord's silver is not blown by the wind, I am afraid that the storyteller above will deceive the lord and his wife." ”

I saw the opportunity and said, "Yes, everyone can know the secret history of the palace in the Forbidden City!" ”

Xiao Kunzi said: "It's just to make the silver sound fresh!" ”

The cousin hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It may not be known anywhere else, but the storyteller of our inn was an old eunuch in the Forbidden City, what did he not know?" ”

Hearing this, Zai Yan and I couldn't help but glance at each other.

But everyone who has been in the palace knows that once the eunuch enters the palace, he will not be able to leave until he dies. Love to read

Not only was Zai Yan and I surprised, but even Xiao Kunzi's face tightened when he heard this.

Zai Yan threw the silver to the cousin and said, "Go and call the storyteller, let's have some of today's playbook!" ”

The cousin put the silver in his hand on his teeth and bit it, and then said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, lord, madam, please eat first, the little one will call someone!" ”

I brushed my clothes and sat down, and saw that Zai Yan's eyes had been looking at Xiao Kunzi, only to realize that Xiao Kunzi had been standing on one side, so I smiled at Xiao Kunzi: "Sit down!" ”

Xiao Kunzi didn't dare.

Zai Yan gently threw down his chopsticks, "I don't know where Fang Cai's cleverness has gone!" ”

Xiao Kunzi's face was ugly.

I got up in front of Xiao Kunzi and pulled his sleeve and said, "Everyone around me is watching!" ”

Xiao Kunzi raised his eyes to look at me, I nodded, and he swept around the lobby again, and then sat down.

I looked at Zaiyan on the left and Xiao Kunzi on the right, "From now on, we will always do this!" ”

Zai Yan took a deep breath and said, "It's good! ”

Xiao Kunzi said in a low voice: "This is still a slave...... It's the first time I've stumbled a few words with ......the emperor, he sighed, relieved his breath, and then said, "It's the first time I've eaten at the same table like this." ”

Zai Yan picked a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Kunzi's bowl, "There will be a first time for everything." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, and I also raised my hand to pick up a piece of meat and handed it to the bowl, "Eat it!" ”

While eating, the cousin came to the table and said, "The storyteller specially drafted a book of excerpts today, all about the secret history of the court, and I don't know which one the master and wife wanted?" With that, the cousin handed the booklet to Zaiyan.

Zai Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the booklet and opened it to look at it, his face did not show any waves, and then handed the booklet to me.

So, I watched it too.

Nothing special.

It's just some inconsequential vulgar drama excerpts such as "The New Emperor's Accession to the Throne", "The Queen Mother's Birthday", and "The Princess's Marriage", that is, to make people who have never seen much of the world outside addicted.

Zai Yan said lightly: "I won't tell you, my lord's relatives are also officials in the capital, and my lord has also entered the Forbidden City," he said, pointing to the booklet in my hand, "These are not interesting to you!" ”

I closed the booklet and said with a smile: "In this case, there is no restriction on anything, you can let the storyteller choose his own excellent words." ”

The cousin took the excerpt and said, "Yes." Then, slowly retreat.

When the hall was far away, I asked in a low voice: "As far as I know, the eunuchs in the Forbidden City are all dead and cannot come out, how can there be an old eunuch here to tell stories?" ”

Zai Yan frowned and said, "I also feel strange about this person, so I also want to see who it is?" ”

Xiao Kunzi said: "It's about an inconspicuous eunuch who used to be in the palace, and it is not for nothing that he earned enough silver, and he sneaked out while no one was paying attention." ”

I nodded and said, "It's not surprising, there are so many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and it's not unusual that one or two dispensable ones are missing." ”

Zai Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "But the key is that this person is still telling stories here with great fanfare, and most of them are still the secret history of the palace, and he is not small!" ”

After discussing for a while, the storyteller was already standing on the stage, with a little gray hair in his pale hair, dressed in a blue brocade robe, holding a sandalwood folding fan in his hand, and saying in a slightly vicissitudes of life: "Say what a dragon fights!" Then, Xingmu patted, "pop", the whole hall was silent, and the storyteller said: "Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Shang Zhou, since ancient times, loyal and treacherous fights, fighting for power in Vanity Fair, and drifting in the flow of wealth and wealth!" "The exit is very pretentious!

Someone at the bottom asked, "Lao An, what do you want to say today?" ”

Another humanitarian: "Zuo Zongtang carried the coffin and went on the expedition!" The Six Gentlemen of Wuxu! ”

Another humane: "Let's talk about the great eunuch Li Lianying!" ”

And humanitarian: "No! Or talk about the love and hatred between the emperor and Concubine Zhen! I heard that the emperor is now imprisoned in Yingtai by the Queen Mother Lafayette, but is it true? ”

Someone replied: "Don't ask him about this, he came out a long time ago, how can he know these things?" ”

Some people even joked: "How early is it?" ”
