"Journey to the West..."

Wang Er, who got off work, walked past the entrance of the alley, looked at the door of the long queue of hooks, and tightened the package on his back.

The children in the family have been talking about it for days... I heard the children say that the companions who are playing together now are dressed as monkey kings and monsters, if you haven't watched the play in the hook bar, you don't know the ins and outs, you can only be a little demon waving and shouting next to you, and the nest is tight.

Wang Er felt that he was very cowardly, and he couldn't let the child lose at the starting line, but since the beginning of the summer, the wages for carrying bags have been getting lower and lower, and the family of three is barely fed, Wang Er is really reluctant to throw the money into the hook bar.

Watching a play... See less? The streets are full of charity performances during the New Year's holidays, and there are also performers on the streets, who are busy with their work, they don't need to spend money to watch this kind of play, if they don't perform well, they can drink a few inverted colors, although the hook bar is not expensive to collect money, but Wang Er, who is used to living a hard life, always feels that every penny has to be saved and kept for future use.

You can't make money if you keep it, but every time the piggy jar buried in the house is a little heavier, the heart is a little more stable.

It's just that the child is older... I can't stand it when it's really noisy, but Wang Er thinks about it, the alley partners who used to be able to play together are now saying something they don't understand, forming a small circle to squeeze themselves out, and they don't even bring themselves to the fight - if I had been like this in the village back then, I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable.

I got a few pennies more for work today... Wang Er touched the money bag in his arms and withdrew his eyes from looking at the crowd in front of the hook bar.

The place where I live is still some distance from the hook fence, it is a common civilian house in Beiping in this era, behind the two firewood doors is a small yard, raising some chickens and ducks, at this time it was also released out of the yard and pecked; Living in the city, there is no need to have a dog, and naturally there is no barking of dogs to welcome home, the dark night is like a curtain on the house, and the smoke in the kitchen rises, making the sound of the wood door a little more joyful.

The young child trotted over and hugged Wang Er's leg: "Dad! ”

Picking up his son, who had become heavier, Wang Er rubbed his face full of stubble, causing his son to wave his little hands for a while, Wang Er laughed and untied the package on his back:

"Daddy brought you some delicious food today."

In the package are a few ordinary melons and fruits, not a rare goods, probably put it for an afternoon, the skin is a little shriveled, Wang Er looked at his son in surprise and picked up one and gnawed it, his eyes were full of warmth and doting.

The wife in the apron came out of the kitchen with two dishes: "Don't stand at the door, come in and eat... Where did all this come from? ”

"The weather is too hot today, and after noon, the owner saw that the brothers were tired, so they divided some of them," Wang Er got up and wiped his sweat, "This owner is very particular." ”

"No matter how particular you are, you can't get paid... Give some melons and fruits and gag your mouth? ”

The wife said a few words, but Wang Er didn't mind, whose mother-in-law didn't nag? He is poor and white, and his wife has been busy with him for so many years, if there is no her, this family will not be able to sustain it.

took a shower with the well water, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat, Wang Er hesitated for a moment and knocked on the bowl: "Let's go to Goolan and take a look after eating later, Xiao Qi has been talking for so long..."

"You're not reluctant?"

"I met a noble person today, and I gave some reward money when there were many goods, and the head gave a share to the brothers, and I also got more than a dozen yuan here," Wang Er shaving a meal, looking at his son who was running around the house after hearing the news, "Isn't that a hook bar five cents per person?" The two of us add up to ten cents, and the child doesn't charge money, so he goes to the last one. ”

"I'm not going, and I don't have anything to see, you just take Xiao Qi with you," his wife was a little worried, "Recently, the price of vegetables and food has been rising... It's still better to save some money to live. ”

"Since you went, then the whole family went, where is the reason to keep you at home?" Wang Er shook his head and sandwiched some vegetables for his wife, "Life can always go on... It's a big deal, I'll get another job. ”

"I'm also trying to figure out how to see if I can embroider something... It's just that my female celebrity is not very good, and I'm afraid I can't sell it for a good price. ”

The child was playing on the side and refused to eat seriously, although the vegetarian dishes on the table did not have too much oil and water, but they still cooked a good taste, the couple looked at each other and smiled, in the days when it was as plain as water, this scene was heartwarming.

Although he is poor, he also has warmth.

……

There are a lot of vendors outside the hook fence, and they sell gadgets that children like, and many children can't walk when they see them, crying and crying to let adults buy them and hold them in their hands before they are willing to break into tears and laugh... Fortunately, Xiao Qi has always been sensible, even if he really likes it, he just looks at it twice, and he won't make a fuss around Wang Er's neck.

There are a lot of people in line, and some patrolling soldiers can be vaguely seen in the distance, in the noise, the small talk between neighbors often attracts more people to participate, and the people who have seen many high-status people naturally drive the topic, and even Wang Er is unconsciously attracted by the sound of conversation next to him.

It seems that his family background is not bad, but the young man who works as a small official in the yamen has a contemptuous and mysterious expression on his face, shaking his head in a starry moon: "The price of vegetables has risen? Hey, what's this, the ruthlessness is still to come! ”

He swept left and right, squeezing out a snort from his nose: "Do you know why the price of food and vegetables has risen?" Simple, there are many imperial armies outside the city! ”

He lowered his voice: "There is a war!" ”

Fight? Who fights with whom? Mongol? As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people who gathered around and slowly lined up changed.

Ordinary people... Who doesn't want to meet the way of peace? The world has been set for 30 years, and the older generation of people has not finished yet, and the world in their mouths is really shocking when they think about it, how do you say it? "I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world" is such a truth, although this little official's words are not clear, but the people's hearts are a little heavy.

I'm afraid that the court and Lord Yan have broken things.

The nephew wants to attack his uncle for the sake of the stability of the world, saying that his uncle may have to rebel... Now that the world is stable and unstable, let's talk about it, those uncles may really be rebelling.

Wang Er shook his head when he heard it, what is this.

When I go to work on weekdays, the men who carry these things together have a lot of discussions, each with their own opinions, but on the whole, most of them still feel that there is nothing wrong with the court, and even Wang Er thinks so--cutting the feudal domain, and it is not to ask the vassal kings to die, but to hand over the military power to be a prince of Ansheng? In those days, they couldn't even dream that these vassal kings were still dissatisfied... I really don't know how to lift.

In addition, recently the Yan prince was rumored to have madness again, and many people in Beiping gathered around to see Yan Wangye go crazy on the street, Wang Er once passed by, and saw a lot of people surrounded by the inner and outer three floors, and leaned over to ask only to know that it was Yan Wangye who was robbing the beggars to eat...

It's too cold, these vassal kings who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic...

The queue is long, and those who arrive late naturally can't catch up with the opening when they enter the hook bar, Wang Er and his daughter-in-law find a corner to sit down, but it doesn't seem crowded, but the performance on the stage is not Na Lao Shizi's Journey to the West, but an old man holding an erhu and telling a story.

The youngest son in his arms was arching chaotically, probably dissatisfied with not being able to see the journey to the west in his heart, and the people in the audience also booed, and the old man on the stage had a stiff face, but he was not moved by the boos, and continued to speak.

“... But said that before the death of the first emperor, he had galloped outside the city of Jinling, his ambitions were excited, and the entourage and soldiers all liked to be in the color, it was night, the first emperor met God in his dream, and after waking up, he made a will, and bluntly said what happened after his death, and now it seems that the first emperor has turned into a real dragon, sitting in heaven and overlooking the world. ”

"Do you know what the edict is?"

The storyteller Liu Lao took a deep breath and struggled in his heart.

But he still said it: "You don't know that the people who passed on the throne of the first emperor... It's Lord Yan! ”

"It was the traitor in the court who coaxed His Majesty today and tampered with the edict that led to the current Jianwen Dynasty!"

"Lord Yan, it should be the Ninety-Five Supreme sitting on that dragon chair! You must know that Your Majesty is so young today, how could the first emperor pass over the princes and pass the throne to the emperor and grandson? ”

"Now the name of the imperial court is to cut the domain, but it is... Cut off the troubles! ”

The people in the audience were stunned, and then their faces changed greatly, and there was an uproar.

God, can that be said?
