Chapter 452: The Crying Street
The tea supplied to the Qinzheng Hall was changed one after another, and a few young little yellow doors outside the hall took advantage of Lin Lian's inattention, quietly beat their thighs, twisted their heels, and peeked at Lin Lian who was standing on the steps like a stake.
They rarely saw a solemn look on Lin Lian's face, and generally when they encountered this kind of situation, no one knew what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask Lin Lian.
"There's something to wait for tonight." Lin Lian turned his head to look at them, his expression did not change a point, and said: "You shallow-eyed boys, your mind is full of only thinking about the warm quilt, take a good look at everything that happens after that, and ensure that you will benefit for a lifetime." ”
Xiao Huangmen nodded like pounding garlic, but he was still worried about the quilt.
On a calm and wonderful night like this, everyone should rest early and welcome the sunrise of the second day in a sweet dreamland.
The night of the night market in the capital is still insulated from calm tonight, and in the bustling city, the restaurant is still the place where the most tourists gather, but they are not for eating and drinking tonight, but just want to see Mr. Shan's dignity in the crowd.
Now Mr. Shan's appearance is hard to find, if it doesn't coincide with the birthday of the nobles in Beijing for the high hall, invite Mr. Shan to play treasure for the old man, how can they enjoy such a natural sound without spending money?
"What did Mr. Shan say today?" An eight- or nine-year-old boy carrying a bamboo basket to sell some snacks squeezed into the crowd and took advantage of the time to greet the buyer.
The buyer was very generous, gave the boy a few more money, and handed the snack to his daughter who was sitting on his shoulder with two pigtails, thinking that the boy was patronizing the business, and I was afraid that he did not listen carefully to Mr. Shan's story, so he felt pity, so he told the boy a synopsis, and also told a few details that the listener did not notice.
The boy's eyes were foggy, and he was obviously very unfamiliar with the old things that the buyer said about the old days before Chengkang, but when he was wandering around to sell, he heard a few interesting anecdotes.
He noticed that the buyer did not put his mind on listening to the book at this time, and wanted to sell the snacks he brought out at home, but it was still early, so he talked to the buyer about the sky.
"It's a coincidence, the kid walked between the banquets and heard something related to Chengkang's early years, although I don't know whether it's true or not, but it sounds like blood, which makes people ...... shocked."
The people who can sit at the table in the restaurant are either rich or expensive, and what they talk about may not be the truth, but occasionally they can get a glimpse of the truth from the words that add oil and vinegar. The boy's voice was not high, but it was crisp and eye-catching, and after he said a few words, the people around him were attracted to him.
"It is said that before Emperor Cheng Kang ascended to the throne, he went to the prince's mansion and mourned the supreme emperor with the prince, and then the prince contracted the disease overnight and finally died......"
Halfway through his speech, a person who still remembered the old things in Chengkang's early years said loudly: "The prince died suddenly, many ministers were panicked, I still remember several nights, the streets were full of soldiers, and if anyone's puppy and child ran out for fun, they all had to be arrested!" ”
"Daddy, is Hui'er going to be arrested too?" The little girl sitting on the buyer's shoulder suddenly pointed to herself and asked, the others laughed when they heard it, and the buyer coaxed her in a good voice: "Hui'er is the most well-behaved and cute, who can bear to take you?" ”
Some children interjected to amuse, and everyone consciously avoided talking about heavy topics, but the boy who sold snacks seemed to be determined, and talked about another thing.
"I heard that the official who held today's birthday banquet specially invited Prince Chengping to support the scene. Who knew that King Chengping's niece, Miss Ruan San, the daughter of Princess Baozhen today, had not returned home after the key was dropped at the palace gate, and King Chengping knew about it, and he didn't eat the banquet, so he hurriedly entered the palace! ”
"What's going to happen? Is Prince Chengping here? ”
The boys spread their hands, and in the blink of an eye, they noticed that the number of people listening to them was increasing! Originally, there was something to say, because there were too many onlookers, and countless eyes were all staring at him, so he lost his courage for a while, and only pointed to the inside of the restaurant and said: "The seat arranged for the prince is empty!" ”
A white and tender hand suddenly clasped the bamboo basket that the boy was carrying on his arm, the boy was startled, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a young man wearing a brocade dress, and his heart suddenly fell back to its original place. "Do you want some snacks?"
The little boy shook his head, his two thick eyebrows frowned, and he asked seriously: "Miss Ruan San hasn't left the palace yet, where did you hear about it?" ”
The boy pointed from afar, "There's an adult from the criminal department sitting inside, and I listened to him talk to other adults as I passed by...... Boy, don't you really want to buy something to eat? ”
But the boy paid no more attention to him, and shouted at the servant to squeeze out a way, and hurried away.
There was a lot of discussion around them, and some adults who led their children out to go shopping gradually became impatient and drank their children: "What to save!" What does the third lady have to do with our family whether she lives or dies? ”
But the child was very twisted, patting the adult's hand, crying and yelling: "You don't understand...... It's so stupid...... "The dog at the child's feet is also barking, and the adults are so noisy that they want to mix doubles."
The scene was chaotic, chasing the most noisy sleepless nights in Chengkang's early years. This situation and this scene make people who remember the old things of Chengkang sigh again and again, if the prince is still alive, ascending to the throne and governing the world, this Miss Ruan San will be the emperor's own granddaughter...... Who wouldn't want to save? Saving her is enough to shine on the lintel!
The children were dragged home by the adults, and most of the people on the street were gone, and the others who didn't find it interesting or were busy doing important things dispersed.
On the table in the restaurant, Mr. Shan was happy to deduce the interesting story of completing the Kang Nian, the allegro was set, and the steward of the old man's house took the money and walked out of the restaurant.
When the boy who sold snacks saw him come out, he rushed up and said with a smile: "I have done all the tasks assigned to me by Mr. As he spoke, he saluted Mr. Shan with the money from selling snacks: "Sir, don't forget to take me as an apprentice!" ”
Mr. Shan smiled and didn't ask for his money: "Do I still have a few dollars left?" Save it for your mom and dad to buy a piece of fresh meat. Bring a few catties of tea to apprentice another day, and I'll take this bite. ”
The boy hurriedly changed his voice to the master, and ran left and right to help Mr. Shan walk, but Mr. Shan opened it.
He was not disappointed, and brought up the things that he had been thinking about in his heart and asked Mr. Shan: "The master said that it would take another half a month to do this, why did it change to today?" Also, today's official master is not high, and it is enough to ask a storyteller casually, why does the master want to end up in person? ”
Mr. Shan said: "By feeling. ”
"Master...... Master, I still have questions! ”
Xie Min was slightly drunk, and walked out of the restaurant with his hands on the door, except for the officials who came to attend the banquet and the servants who came to take the officials home, there were no ordinary people to be seen on the street.
"Will Master Xie take my carriage away?" An officer asked, poking his head out.
Xie Min thanked him and did not get into the car.
