Chapter 122: The Crisis of the Yan Family
Situ Xi also felt very cordial when he saw this performance, he also often watched magic performances in his previous life, and he had seen people perform several small shows on the stage that opened with the surname Huaren.
After performing a few simple tricks, Nahuaren performed tricks such as "fetching things from the air" and "painting birds flying high" to the guests, many of which Situ Xi had seen when he read "Goose Fantasy Compilation" in his previous life, but it was the first time he had seen a live performance.
The tricks one after another on the stage were dizzying, and the exclamations from the audience came and went, and when the tricks were finished, Situ Xi and others also gave their applause to the Nahua people.
This was followed by some singing and dancing performances, and Fan Lao also introduced the guests to various new pastries and drinks in Yujiuju during the performance, and presented a glass of perilla cooked water to all the guests for free.
The guests heard that this cooked water has the effect of health preservation, smelled sweet smell, and tasted excellent, and they couldn't help but praise this cooked water.
The performance didn't end until noon, and the Jade Wine House was officially opened, and Situ Xi beckoned the guests on the third floor to have a drink, and the wine party lasted until the afternoon.
Mr. Xiang added two more commentaries in the afternoon and evening, or the first three times of the "Three Kingdoms", and in the evening, the guests who came to listen to the book in the Yujiuju had already lined up outside the store.
The first day of operation of the Jade Wine House was undoubtedly a success, but Situ Xi did not wait for Lao Zhangtou to count the revenue and the celebration banquet in the evening, and after saying goodbye to Chen Zhishu and the others, he quickly rushed back home in a sedan chair, because he had other things to deal with.
Zhong Lisu didn't accompany him to the Jade Wine House today because she went to the Huaiming Mansion in the morning.
Zhong Lixuan wanted to see Yan Yue, this matter could only be done by going to Zhong Liwu, and the Yan family was in a bad situation now, she was a little worried that her actions would cause trouble for her family, so she went back to the Huaiming Mansion in the morning and communicated with Zhong Liwu face-to-face.
When Situ Xi arrived home, Zhong Lixuan had already returned home, and she was sitting alone in the courtyard.
Seeing Situ Xi coming back, Zhong Lixuan immediately got up and poured a cup of hot tea for Situ Xi.
"Lady, what did your father-in-law say? I think I just want to see Miss Yan, he shouldn't refuse, right? Situ Xi sat down beside Zhong Lixuan.
"Well, my father really didn't say no, he said that as long as you hold the token he gave you, you can enter the Yan Mansion......" Zhong Lixuan hesitated a little as he said this.
"What's wrong? What else did my father-in-law say? Situ Xi saw that Zhong Lixuan was a little troubled.
"Although my father said that he could meddle in the affairs of the family, he also said that this matter was quite complicated, so let the husband and wife make their own decisions, and the concubine now doesn't know whether to go on this trip." Zhong Lixuan was a little worried, even Zhong Liwu said that the affairs of the Yan family were very complicated, so the current situation of the Yan family was very serious.
"By the way, Brother Mo also asked the concubine to bring a congratulatory gift as a father-in-law, he has a class today, so he can't go to the Jade Wine House to find you." Zhong Lixuan took out a small bag and put it in front of Situ Xi.
Situ Xi picked up the bag, he didn't see Zhong Limo in the morning, so he knew that he must have other important things to be busy with, otherwise something like this would definitely not be missed with his temperament.
Loosening the rope that tied the bag, Situ Xi took out an iron arc-shaped token from it, on which hundreds of words were densely engraved in small characters, and Situ Xi read it before he understood what the brand in his hand was.
This token is an iron coupon, which is the so-called death-free gold medal, which I think is the one that Zhong Limo was rewarded last time.
"When the lady and her father-in-law are talking about something, can Brother Mo be present?"
"Yes, Brother Mo is indeed listening." Zhong Li nodded, a little puzzled as to how Situ Xi knew.
"This is an iron ticket to avoid death, presumably he has also learned some things about the Yan family recently......"
Looking at the iron coupon in Situ Xi's hand, Zhong Li was slightly stunned, and then sighed and said, "Brother Mo has a heart......
"It's just that this iron coupon may not work."
Zhong Lixuan is aware of the weight of this iron coupon, the iron coupon to avoid death, it sounds like it can save people's lives under any circumstances, but in fact it is not as versatile as imagined, which can be seen from the fact that Emperor Chu can reward Zhong Limo with this child so easily.
Not to mention that this iron ticket for avoiding death can generally only be used by the rewardee, and sometimes, as long as His Majesty doesn't want to see some people again, even if he has the iron ticket in hand, he can't change the final outcome, at most he can only delay for some time.
"The lady will accept it first, there is no useless thing in this world, only people who don't know how to use it flexibly."
It is said that a large number of gold, silver and jewelry of unknown origin were found in the Yan family, and some people said that the old man Yan was the same traveler as the gangsters who set fire to many shops on Yuxin Street that day.
Situ Xi knew the inside story of the Yuxin Street incident, which means that the old man may have colluded with the black-robed people who assassinated King Geng, and some black-robed people appeared to create chaos during the spring hunt a few days ago, so it is no wonder that Zhong Liwu said that the situation of the Yan family is more complicated.
But hearing is false, seeing is believing, and you have to see for yourself what the situation is.
Zhong Lisu and Yan Yue have a very good relationship, Yan Yue is one of her only few friends, Zhong Lisu has always been sad in recent days, Situ Xi still hopes that she can smile more.
"Lady, you and I will go to Yanfu early tomorrow morning to meet Miss Yan, and by the way, ask about the current situation, find out the truth of this matter, and then make a judgment according to the situation, it is useless to think about it now."
"That's the only way to do it, it's just ......"
Zhong Lixuan nodded slightly, and in the middle of his words, he suddenly trotted to the courtyard in a hurry.
"Uncle, there is a guest visiting, surnamed Wei."
