Chapter 83
Even if the New Year is approaching, the East Street of the capital is full of people. Unlike the high-ranking officials and dignitaries on West Street, there are many caravans coming and going here, and a little surplus at home can make a small profit here. Therefore, West Street has become a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, with green buildings and gambling houses next to each other.
At this time, if there is a two-horse-drawn carriage on the street, it will attract pedestrians to avoid and turn back frequently.
Wen Jing opened a thin slit from the window, and the noisy and lively atmosphere outside poured into the carriage.
Jiang Xufeng gently grabbed her with one hand, Wen Jing turned around and asked with a smile: "Why did Your Highness think of coming here to listen to the play?" ”
"The largest theater in the capital is at the end of this road, and I heard that they arranged a 'New Year's Beast' specifically for the New Year's Festival, and it was interesting to look at the playbook, so I brought the princess to join in the fun."
Wen Jing is dressed as an ordinary woman today, but it is more in line with her gentle temperament, and her face seems to have a layer of soft light. She quite likes the atmosphere of West Street, but it's a pity that it's too chaotic to go down.
Wen Jing's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he kissed Jiang Xufeng's face like a dragonfly: "That concubine, His Royal Highness Xie is still thinking about his concubine." ”
The shopkeeper of the theater had already received a notice that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were coming, and he wanted to clear the scene, but Zhu Zhan refused. I was afraid that I would be sluggish, so I waited at the door tremblingly.
Wen Jing was helped out of the carriage by Jiang Xufeng, and the shopkeeper lowered his head and led Wen Jing and Jiang Xufeng to the private seat on the second floor, and along the way, they could only see butterflies dancing on the princess's shoes as if they were about to come to life.
Everything is ready, the stage is set up, and the gong below starts singing as soon as it sounds.
This scene is worthy of the careful preparation of the troupe, and they made a lot of money in the New Year's Festival. The plot is gradual, with ups and downs, Wen Jing looked at it and threw himself into it, and kept beating his hands.
During this period, Jiang Xufeng left once, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
After singing a singing segment, the audience in the audience cheered one after another, rewarding those who gave rewards, and there were also those who threw gold and silver property on the stage.
The protagonist is the leader of their troupe, with a tactful voice and a very good tone.
Wen Jing was also interested, and greeted Lan Yuan: "Go, reward her." ”
Jiang Xufeng also smiled and said to Zhu Zhan: "If you can coax the princess to laugh, it can be regarded as having some ability in this troupe, let's see it." ”
The next one is also very interesting, only Jiang Xufeng and Wen Jing can't soak in the theater all day, and I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the two shows in the afternoon.
Wen Jing was still a little unsatisfied until she got into the carriage, Jiang Xufeng pinched her cheek: "The crown princess likes it, there will be another one in a few days, and I will accompany you to see the second half." ”
Wen Jing was a little embarrassed herself, and grabbed Jiang Xufeng's chaotic hand: "Your Highness still has government affairs, how can the concubines be embarrassed to bother Your Highness." ”
Jiang Xufeng pretended to be a face: "Does the crown princess look at it?" ”
Wen Jing hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Your Highness! ”
Jiang Xufeng shook his head and smiled, holding Wen Jing's waist: "There is also a famous Xiangwei residence on this West Street, take the princess to try it." ”
Wen Jing's taste follows his father's taste, he likes spicy, but he didn't think that Jiang Xufeng would remember his preferences.
The interior of Xiangwei is elegantly furnished, which is a little out of place with West Street. The little maid saw that Jiang Xufeng and the two were dressed and talked extraordinary, and immediately led the two to sit in the inner room enthusiastically and flatteringly.
Wen Jing took the hat and only cared about looking at the wooden menu hanging on the wall, and accidentally collided with a mighty man walking towards him.
The strong man was holding a food box in his hand, and he didn't shake it when he was bumped by Wen Jing. He raised his head to meet Jiang Xufeng's gaze, his eyes were very surprised, and then he took a step back and arched his hand: "Mine is not, this lady is not surprised." ”
Jiang Xufeng's expression did not change at all, he supported Wen Jing and took her back: "It's okay, Neiko is not careful." ”
After ordering food, Wen Jing was very silent, as if he had suddenly lost interest in Hunan cuisine.
Jiang Xufeng furrowed his eyebrows, his fingers rubbing lightly on the edge of the teacup. Seeing that this was wrong, Zhu Zhan motioned for this Lan Tao to go out with him.
"Your Highness, why is my father's lieutenant Cui Hao here?"
Jiang Xufeng's fingers paused suddenly, and there was no lack of surprise in his eyes to look at Wen Jing, Wen Jing was still smiling, but Jiang Xufeng could detect that she was angry.
Wen Jing raised her eyebrows and continued: "The concubine has a good memory since she was a child, but she hasn't seen her for five or six years, and she only has a beard on her chin, so the concubine doesn't recognize it?" Moreover, Vice General Cui was born in Jiangnan and does not like spicy food, but his father has similar tastes to his concubines. ”
"Your Highness left for a moment while watching the play."
Jiang Xufeng was speechless for a long time, and finally felt a little bit of breaking the jar, and held Wen Jing's hand: "Lone slowly said it to the crown princess, I just hope that the princess will not be angry." ”
"Your Highness laughed, how could the concubines be."
In the Taichen Palace, Emperor Kande had just fallen asleep after lunch, and the few eunuchs and grandmothers who were only close to him were a little worried.
Emperor Kant has been eating less and less recently, and his body is very emaciated, and the imperial dining room has not been able to have any effect.
After Gonggong Xiang served Emperor Kande, he came out of the inner hall, and several people outside were immediately silenced. After Father-in-law Xiang took a few steps, the head of the dining room boldly stepped forward and stuffed a purse into Father-in-law Xiang's arms: "Father-in-law Xiang, for the sake of our acquaintance for many years, give the slave a little hint." ”
"The emperor doesn't know the taste of food, and our dining room is also anxious."
Xiang's father-in-law sighed, but still took the purse into his arms: "Alas, I don't understand these either, you can just look at the dinner, lighter." ”
This is already a hint, and the head of the dining room immediately smiled and got what he wanted. Xiang's father-in-law had to go back to work on an errand, and the head of the dining room didn't dare to entangle more, so he said some good things and left.
Xiang's father-in-law can take advantage of Emperor Kande's nap to go to the side room to take a nap, and he is just about to enter the side room. A young man dressed as a waiter came over cautiously with a sandalwood box: "Father-in-law Xiang, Master ordered me to deliver the newly refined pills. ”
The master of this boy is Master Qi of Qin Tianjian, who is specifically responsible for refining medicine for Emperor Kangde.
Father-in-law Xiang stared at the sandalwood box for a moment, and asked, "Is it still nine this time?" ”
The waiter was stunned, and replied a little nervously: "Father-in-law Xiang, didn't you inform the master to refine one more last time, saying that it was close to the end of the year to make it perfect." ”
"Ah, yes, look at our memory." Xiang's father-in-law pretended to show a sudden look, "It's okay, you go back, when the emperor wakes up, our family will be handed over to the emperor." ”
The boy did not doubt him, and left happily, every time the master offered medicine, the emperor would have a reward, and he could follow the light.
Xiang's father-in-law took the sandalwood box into the side hall, and did not find that a little eunuch guarding the door was hiding his every move by the angle.
