Chapter 196: Broken Bridge
However, Second Young Master Xiao's face was very stinky, and he walked forward step by step, full of the breath of being unapproachable.
Drinking wine with a smile, he gently glanced at the crowd behind him, and asked him in a low voice: "Second Young Master, you are so attractive, how dare they put women in your yard?"
His face darkened a little, and Xiao Jingtang glared at her: "Can you say something good?"
"Isn't this a compliment to you?" said gently: "I read that it is said in the book that beautiful men travel, throw fruit and car, if you come out in a convertible, it is estimated that you can also open a fruit shop." ”
"Shut up for me. ”
Flattened his mouth, took a sip of rice wine, and looked at the road ahead gently: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Jingtang had a straight face, pulled her away without saying a word, followed gently, and left the lively street after a while, and arrived in the courtyard of the alley next to him.
There was the sound of banging gongs and drums, gently raised his eyebrows, looked around, and saw a plaque of "shadow puppet play" hanging at the door of the courtyard, the gate was open, and people came and went.
"You want to see this?" gently raised an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty said that you must be sensitive to the feelings of the people. Xiao Jingtang said seriously: "Shadow puppets can express some of the wishes of the people, and it doesn't hurt to go in and have a look." ”
Dare to come out to work? Gently pursed his lips, followed him in, paid the money and found a bench to sit down.
On the shadow puppet screen, which is not big or small, it seems that a young lady falls in love with a scholar, and all the men and women present are there, and the atmosphere is good.
glanced at the person next to him suspiciously, and gently thought, did this person deliberately find a chance to watch a play with her?
However, she thought too much, Xiao Jingtang sat upright, staring at the shadow puppet screen with a deep look, and seemed to be thinking about the central idea of this shadow puppet show and the wishes of the people.
So Gentleness can only accompany him and read the content seriously.
The rice wine in the pot was gone, and a bag of dried fruits was stuffed in his hand, and he ate it gently, and muttered: "Aren't your folk customs here very serious and feudal? Why are you acting in a private meeting in the middle of the night?"
Glancing at her, Xiao was shocked and said: "That's why I said that shadow puppetry will express the true thoughts of the people." ”
Gentleness: "......" also makes too much sense!
At the end of the play, he looked at the sky gently: "Is it going to snow?"
"There is a beautiful view of the broken bridge in the capital. Xiao Jingtang said: "The snow scene is especially beautiful, do you want to see it?"
"Don't look at it, don't look at it!" looked at him gently: "You lead the way?"
"Hmm. Turning around and walking out, Xiao Jingtang said, "I'll go by the way to investigate the folk customs in that area." ”
raised his eyebrows, followed gently, and asked, "I follow you on a business trip like this, is there a subsidy?"
Glancing at her with disgust, Xiao was shocked: "What are you doing with this kind of small money?"
"It's not picking, if you give it, won't I make money?" winked gently: "It feels cool to make money!"
...... "He is a serious businessman, why is this person better than him?"
Shaking his head, Second Young Master Xiao didn't bother to tell her: "According to the regulations of the Criminal Department, if you go out to work as a businessman, you will have one or two silver for one day's travel expenses, and I will make up for you one or two silver, okay?"
No matter how small the fly is, it is still meat! Gentle nodded immediately, and the whole person suddenly became happier, and took the initiative to stuff him with a soup woman when he got into the car.
Looking at her with a complicated expression, Xiao Jingtang couldn't help but ask, "What do you care about the most?"
If it was silver, he had enough money for her to squander it for a lifetime, but she didn't want to be with him. If you don't care...... Look at the look of this little money fan!
Gentle was in a good mood, pinched his throat and said: "Na, the most important thing for a person is to be happy, what does he care about, wouldn't it be good if he is happy?"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Xiao Jingtang turned his head away.
He tried to have a normal conversation with her, and he really forgot her babbling nature.
Sure enough, it began to snow again, and the broken bridge was in the south of the city, and as they passed, the snow on the ground was deep again. As soon as Xiao Jingtang got out of the car, he turned his head and saw the person behind him squatting on the wheel and stretching out his hands to him.
"What?" his heart moved slightly, Second Young Master Xiao controlled himself and didn't go over to hug her, and asked indifferently.
looked at him strangely, and said gently: "Second young master is forgetful, you said that the good eight taels of silver have been carrying me away." ”
Looking at her deeply, Xiao Jingtang sneered: "You are really reluctant to suffer a little loss." ”
As he spoke, he turned his back to her and stretched out his hand.
Gentle pounced on his back, hung on his body like a koala, took the umbrella handed by the coachman, and opened it and hit the top of their heads.
"Lift it high. Xiao Jingtang frowned: "You are so obstructive that I can't see the way ahead." ”
Gently pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "It's good to give you an umbrella, so many requests?"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Sensing that this person was about to throw her into the snow, Wen Rou immediately changed her tone, stretched out her hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on her face for him, and smiled doglegs: "Does the second young master know the story of the White Lady?"
"I don't know. ”
"Hey?" blinked and said gently: "Even the White Lady doesn't know, so how can there be a broken bridge here?"
Second Young Master Xiao had an incomprehensible look on his face: "What does the broken bridge have to do with the White Lady?" It's just that the bridge in the south of the city is broken, and no one has come to repair the bridge, and the side of the bridge is full of plum blossoms, so it's just a superb view." ”
It turned out that she thought about it too much, and her face collapsed gently: "It's just a broken bridge, if there is no story at all, what is there to see?"
"What's the story?" Xiao Jingtang frowned, thought for a while, and said: "There is a folk legend that a pair of lovers were separated by their families and agreed to meet on this bridge and elope together, but the bridge was broken, and the two were on one side, and they couldn't stay together...... Is this story okay?"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked gently, "You made it up?"
Second Young Master Xiao was silent.
"Isn't this unreasonable, okay? If you want to elope, it's better to choose a place and a broken bridge, and go straight out of the city to meet?" ”
"But. Xiao Jingtang said unconvinced: "Many people choose to meet here and then go out of the city." ”
The broken bridge was already in front of him, and Gentle didn't bother to discuss the lame story with him, so she jumped off his back and took a look.
Damn, there is an abyss under the bridge.
"Is this place good-looking?" swallowed his saliva, his legs were a little weak, and he didn't let go of his hand holding Xiao Jingtang: "Can't you treat a safe place as a scenic spot?"
Feeling that his clothes were being clutched tightly, Second Young Master Xiao raised his eyebrows, not only did not retreat, but took a step towards the edge of the cliff.
