"Oh? Is it? You look at your young age, bookish and angry, don't you look like a bullshit ruffian. Could it be that the meaning of the lyrics is so that you want to ask me for forgiveness? Yan looked at the man playfully, but his eyes gradually changed from disdain to sharpness, which made people have to be cautious in their words and deeds, because they were scared to death by this terrible look if they were not careful.

But unfortunately, the more this is the case, the more arrogant the man becomes. laughed even louder and thoroughly, "Haha, the girl is so eloquent and so powerful, why don't you guess what she sang below." The man also looked directly at Yan Zi with his mouth cocked in the same playfulness.

Yan Zi suddenly relaxed the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, his mind racing to try to remember the words he had heard.

"The alleys of the water city are tender towns, so the trees and green willows are drunk with spring. Yancheng mountains are red sleeves hidden, and the rivers of Shengzhuang are blue and ...... "while reminiscing and singing along the previous tune, although I can't learn seven or eight points, it is also somewhat similar, this kind of person who can hum a general tune and remember some lyrics is really terrifying.

The man was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this woman to listen so carefully, and she could hum a word or two just once. However, he was not to be outdone, and kept pretending to be calm, as if all this didn't matter.

"Haha, the girl has a good memory, she can remember one or two just by listening to it once. But I'm curious why the girl remembers it so deeply, is the song in the next one good to remember or the lyrics are beautiful and people can't put it down? ”

"Lyrics?" Yan chewed these two playfully, and then directly met his eyes, which suddenly became deep and sharp, extremely lethal, and made people feel nervous at first glance. The man couldn't help but take a few steps back, who knew that Yan Zi was pressing step by step, and he refused to relax at all.

"What's your name, and what does the lyrics have? Smoke (Yan) city and mountain color red sleeves Tibetan (burial), Shengzhuang river blue face Ji (sacrifice). is a sharp and spicy little scholar, which is admirable. Yan Zi couldn't help but applaud, and every time the applause was sparse, it was particularly interesting.

The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and he still put on a natural and lofty posture and refused to bow his head, "In Xia Bai Ji Kao, a pedantic and incompetent sour talent, he is useless except for singing and composing poems on weekdays." Look, the girl's eyes and hands are low, she shouldn't be interested in such a poor and sour show, right? ”

"Haha" Yan Zi laughed, his eyes sharper, "Bai Jikao? Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The name has a real connotation, just like you. I don't know if Mr. Bai has ever heard the story of the witch. In this theater garden, a white-haired old gentleman told the story yesterday. It's a pity that it's over before we are halfway through. I thought I could still hear the following story today, but I didn't want to change people. ”

Bai Ji thought for a while, and shook his head, "I'm really sorry, it's the first time I've come to sing in the opera, and I don't know much about the people in the opera garden, so your so-called old gentleman doesn't know much more." ”

"Really?" Yan Zi almost every time he said a few words, he had to have a rather in-depth rhetorical tone, which made people tremble when they listened, and then walked a few steps around Bai Jikao.

At this time, Bai Jikao was like a doll in someone else's hand, and he was forced to accept this kind of contempt, which was really unbearable. simply stepped forward and walked a few steps out of Yan Zi's strange circle.

"Girl, you don't look like such a frivolous person when you look dressed, why do you stare at a man for so long."

"Hmph, because Mr. is extremely unusual, and your accent seems to be the same as that of Mr. Whitebeard yesterday." Yan Zi spoke to him in the accent of their hometown. Although she doesn't learn it at all, but in this kind of situation, no one dares to laugh at her quirky accent except for a mad person who is a mad person.

Bai Ji's heart was pounding, and suddenly he had an ominous premonition. The only way to do this is to go for the best plan, who knew that as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Sheng Linsheng, and then quickly lifted the tray that Xiao Er was carrying when he passed by and placed it in front of Bai Jikao, blocking his face and only revealing his eyes.

Looking at it this way, it is clear that he is indeed yesterday's white-bearded old man. No, it should be said that the old man with the white beard was disguised by him, and he almost deceived him by damn it.

When the matter was revealed, Yan Zi laughed, and couldn't help but feel a little cruel to this young man, "Mr. is not only a master of singing and storytelling, but also a must in terms of disguise." If it weren't for the fact that I saw your hands white and tight yesterday, I almost fooled you through. Now that everything has been exposed, why not tell the ending of the witch's story? ”

Yan Zi's expression gradually cooled, from half-joking to unsmiling, but glared at him fiercely and forced him to say the content.

Bai Jikao knew that what she wanted to know was not the ending of the story, but the real characters that the story refracted.

But it's okay, so what's the matter, she doesn't come out as an empress, and she can also be treated as ignorant and talking nonsense, see what she does with herself. Bai Jikao thought for a while, and asked rhetorically: "What kind of ending does the girl think is the best?" Is it to get the witch to change her ways and release her mother? ”

"Shouldn't it? Behind everything that seems unbelievable there is a natural background in which such a thing has to happen. Mr. Bai is a reader and writes stories, shouldn't the character background of these characters be considered? Everyone's personality is different, their views on a thing are not always the same, and the way of answering is also different, shouldn't the gentleman carefully scrutinize and write a better and more lifelike story? ”

"Haha" Bai Jikao suddenly smiled interestingly, and his eyes changed from passive to active, and he took the initiative to look at Yan Zi, "The girl seems to be very interested in this story, especially the witch in the story makes you unforgettable." In the next word, what does the girl like about the witch, she is a villain, everyone is outrageous for her behavior, why does the girl maintain it like this, does she have any advantages? ”

Bai Jikao also discussed this topic deeply, and Yan Zi also paused when he asked this. It's true that he seems to be too real to the characters in the story, and suddenly he is a little weak-hearted, but the righteous image of the witch still can't help but want to maintain it.

"Since you say that she has no soul after falling off the cliff, what she naturally did was not what she intended. The world only focuses on the results that occur and does not care about the process, and the right and wrong in the middle are the most important. There is a certain reason for everything to happen, how can a woman be born a murderous demon, naturally there is a certain reason. Since Mr. is a bookwriter, why don't you study this issue carefully, if you write these deep questions, I believe your story will be more popular. ”

The two scolded each other very badly, although there were no dirty words and no physical conflict, but Sheng Linsheng, who was a bystander, still understood that they were using the role of a witch to argue about the rights and wrongs of the empress's forbidden mother.

Then Bai Jikao suddenly stopped arguing, moved his eyes to everyone present, and discussed with them loudly, "Everyone, you have also listened to yesterday's witch story. Do you think the story of the witch's forbidden mother is intolerable and contrary to human ethics? ”

"Yes!"

Bai Jikao's words, everyone immediately responded, and they all heard yesterday's story clearly. Mr. Ying's deep telling and outrageous story resonated with all the officials, and from the bottom of my heart, I thought that the heroine witch was a demon who was not popular.

Bai Jikao proudly showed Yan Zi everyone's sense of identity, and this terrible opposition in unison was like a mountain of oppression to herself, making her breathless. Why doesn't anyone think deeply about the things behind this matter, just one result can determine whether the witch is good or bad. It's ridiculous.

Looking at the crowd of people around her, Yan Zi suddenly understood what human words were terrifying, and she had used human words to clamp down on the four major leaders before. Now it's my turn to realize that human words are really terrifying. Just a story can make them angry like this, and a real story can't cause chaos in the world.

Yan Zi suddenly fell silent, and the strong oppressive aura suddenly disappeared, and he turned into an ordinary woman. also has his own sadness and discomfort, does not quarrel or get angry, and sits quietly on the chair and tastes the tea fruit.

Sheng Linsheng also stayed with him without speaking, just sat quietly and accompanied. Bai Jikao suddenly made a concession, no longer arguing about the role of the witch, but began to think about Yan Zi in reality. She is the legendary empress who forbids her mother, but why is the rumored powerful person such an ordinary and emotional woman in her eyes at this time. Her silence and gloom touched his heart, did she say too much?

Strange, why does she have a sense of guilt, what is obviously wrong is why she is so guilty. Just because she's a woman, you think it's a shame for a man to bully a woman?

Bai Jikao kept looking for a suitable reason for his abnormal mood, but he couldn't find it.

Yan Zi didn't say anything more, tasted a few sips of tea and got up and went out, Sheng Linsheng always accompanied him. Bai Jikao watched the lonely back walk past him, his heart ached faintly, and he wanted to explain but it was embarrassing, so he could only stop. In the end, I could only watch the figure pass by.

Yan Zi walked out of the opera garden and walked elsewhere, and when he reached the end of West Street, he saw many poor people huddled in the dilapidated corners, their clothes in rags, and their hands and feet trembling.

Strange, this is the imperial city, why are there so many refugees at the feet of the Heavenly Maiden. Yan Zi was very curious, and suddenly thought of what Mr. Duanmu had said before.

"What the giver is anxious about should be a great virtue. Your Majesty is benevolent and loves the people, and General Sheng should not know who needs it the most, right? ”

I thought it was about the beggar before, but it wasn't until I saw so many people that I realized where it was a person but the whole crowd, Mr. Duanmu seemed to know something, and he kept telling himself on the side, but unfortunately he didn't understand enough now to understand.
