Chapter 935 The prosperous capital and the magical performance
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Cao Zheng immediately pretended to be happy and knelt down and said, although he actually did not believe what Yun Xi said.
Zhou Wei also knelt down and looked at Cao Zheng secretly, his eyes full of apologies. In his opinion, Cao Zheng took the blame for him, and he felt sorry for him.
Sichengtang also knelt down to accept the order. He was the deputy supervisor of the Qintian Prison. Even if the order was not officially issued, he had to accept the order since he was here. He thought about it with Cao Zheng or Zhou Wei The difference. Regardless of whether what Yunxi said at the end is true or false, it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Gezhiyuan. For him, there are no disadvantages as long as there are advantages to disbanding Qintian Prison and moving to Gezhiyuan.
Yunxi said a few more words, and seeing that the sun had already set to the west, he asked them to step back, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the inn.
He stood for a moment at the door of the inn. Yunzhi walked from a clothing store with two maids wearing a hat. The maid behind her was holding a piece of freshly colored silk. She asked the maid to put the silk on the carriage. , walked up to Yunxi and said with a smile: "Brother, you really don't forget about business when you are out having fun."
"It just happened by chance. I was afraid of forgetting again, so I made arrangements immediately." Yunxi also said with a smile.
The brothers and sisters joked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they set off back to the palace.
This was the most prosperous time of the day in the Ming Dynasty. Both officials and ordinary people were on duty. Many people chose a restaurant or restaurant to have dinner with a few friends and talk loudly until dark. After that, they returned home before the curfew. The rich and prestigious had parties in high-end restaurants, and the poor and low-status spent a few pennies at open-air stalls on the streets, drank some wine and ate some snacks, and it was also a party. .So at this time, all the restaurants, restaurants or stalls on both sides of the road were full of people, and the noise could be heard for miles.
Of course, not only the restaurants, but also the houses were bustling with people. There were not many officials here, and there were even few scholars wearing long gowns. Many people in short clothes crowded in front of the stages, and from time to time there were people cheering and shouting to the stage. Throw some money on the table. But even if ordinary people don't have to worry about food and clothing, they don't have much spare money. All they throw on the table are copper coins.
Yun Zhi heard the cheers coming from the Wasi all the way away, and immediately said to Yunxi: "Brother, that's the Wasi over there. My sister heard the sound coming from the Washi all the way away and wanted to go see it. look."
"This is not possible!" Yunxi flatly refused. How can a young lady from a wealthy family go to a place like Washi? "If you want to listen to plays and books, but you don't like the team of Jiaofangsi, my brother will ask someone to find him in the capital. A well-known folk opera troupe can come to the palace to tell stories and sing operas for you, or you can go to the fourth brother's mansion to listen, but you must not go to the mansion."
"Brother, my sister is not very interested in listening to operas and books, but I have long heard the palace maid talk about the Wasi, saying that it is very lively. There are not only operas and stories, but also many other things. I really want to go and see it." Yunzhi begged: "Let my sister go and take a look."
Yunxi felt a little soft-hearted by her begging, and said: "That's all, brother will make an exception today and take you to see it."
"The third brother is the best to my sister." Yunzhi immediately smiled.
Immediately, surrounded by several guards, they walked into the building.
As soon as he passed the boundary between the Washi and the outside, Yunxi felt as if he had entered another world. He saw countless craftsmen on both sides of the road shouting loudly and performing their own shows at the same time. There were monkey runners, cockfighters, horse racing performers, etc.
Those who danced with swords, those who smashed boulders on their chests, and those who played with insects and ants, it was so lively!
It was also the first time for Yunxi to come to Wasi, and he had never heard of many things in his two lives. He was immediately attracted by this scene. After a while, he came back to his senses and thought to himself: 'Those who talk about ancient entertainment
The shortage is indeed nonsense. Although there are no computer games, even ordinary people do not lack things for entertainment in their daily lives.'
This is true for Yunxi, who has a lot of experience, not to mention Yunzhi, who rarely leaves the palace. She is curious about everything she sees, and goes to the side to take a look. When she is happy, she will throw down a few coins, which makes her angry.
The craftsman thanked her very happily.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Han Laowu is here!"
Immediately, many people in the building ran towards the direction of the sound, talking at the same time: "Han Laowu is finally here, let's wait and see his unique skills."
Yunxi and Yunzhi were both puzzled. Song Qingshu pulled one of them and asked: "Who is this Han Laowu? What is his unique skill?"
The person who was dragged was obviously very unhappy, but when he turned around and saw Yunxi and his group, he knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he reluctantly said: "Han Laowu is a well-known craftsman in Wasi. He has a skill called "Toad"
The unique skill of teaching.”
"'Mom teaches'? What is this?" Yunxi asked.
"It's not "Mother's Teaching", it's "Toad's Teaching", the toad's toad." The man said again.
Yunxi ordered Song Qingshu to let go of the man, and he immediately ran over. Yunxi said: ""Teaching Book"? How can this toad teach?"
"You'll know if you go and take a look." Yunzhi immediately answered, pulling Yunxi to go over and have a look. Yunxi was also very curious, so he followed him over.
When they arrived at the place, they were surrounded by people from three levels inside and three outside. Yunzhi turned her head and looked at Yunxi. Yunxi pondered for a while and ordered: "Tell them to give up a place." He and Yunzhi couldn't squeeze in.
Go into the crowd and take a look.
Although Song Qingshu was unwilling, he still accepted the order and asked the other two guards to clear a small area. The ordinary people who gathered around knew at a glance that they could not afford to offend them, so they could only give up a small area.
Yunxi walked over and saw a man in his thirties with tattered clothes standing in the middle with two bags in his hands. There was a chair nearby, and the sound of "guckling" came from the bags from time to time.
Seeing Yun He and his party, the man's eyes flashed with joy. He opened one of the bags and saw a big toad jumping out and jumping onto the chair. The man opened another bag and eight small toads came out of the bag.
He jumped out and landed on the ground, facing the big toad in silence. The man shouted: "Teach!" The big toad screamed, and the eight little toads followed the big toad and screamed a few times.
The little toad just screamed a few times, just like a teacher teaching his students. The man suddenly said: "Stop!" The toads, one large, eight small and nine small, immediately stopped making noises.
"Okay!" There was a sudden burst of applause.
Even Yunxi was stunned. In later generations, he had seen snake trainers, monkey trainers, lion trainers, tiger trainers, dog trainers, and cat trainers, but he had never seen a toad trainer! Not only had he never seen one,
, He had never even heard of it! Not only that, he also never knew that low-level creatures like toads could be tamed.
Comparatively speaking, Yunzhi was less surprised. She came to her senses earlier than Yunxi. While cheering, she took out the treasure money she had on her body to ask for a reward. She also thought the money was not much, and she
He said to Yunxi: "Brother, do you still have money? I'll count it as a loan from my sister. I'll just deduct it from my sister's monthly payment when I get back."
Yunxi came back to his senses and ordered Song Qingshu to take out fifty guan notes and put them in Yunzhi's hand, and said with a smile: "How can it be regarded as a loan from my sister? Even if my brother has rewarded me, it is only you who reward me."
Yunzhi smiled at him, turned around and said to the man: "This is to reward you!" She wrapped the treasure notes with dozens of copper plates and threw them over.
"Thank you, Miss." The man immediately bowed to express his thanks. At this time, Yunzhi was wearing a hat on her head and he couldn't see clearly whether she was a madam or a young lady. However, her voice was clear and clear, and she felt that she was not very old, so she called her young lady.
At the same time, he was very happy. 'Sure enough, such a wealthy family has a lot of money. These hundreds of treasures are only twenty guan. Normally, there are not so many rewards in ten days and a half.'
After seeing this unexpected performance, Yunxi also became interested, and he and Yunzhi continued to wander around the tile house. After a while, Song Qingshu advised: "Sir, the sun is going to set soon, so you'd better go back quickly.
Okay." Yunxi walked out reluctantly.
While walking, Yunzhi said: "Brother, my sister has only heard that Washi is very lively in the past, but I never thought it would be so lively. This trip is really worth it."
"Brother, it's also my first time to come to Wasi. It's really eye-opening. Although it won't be convenient for them to come to this kind of place often in the future, we can let them enter the palace to perform." Yunxi said. But after discovering such an interesting performance, he would not
Abandoned due to objections from civil servants.
As he was talking, two people suddenly walked towards him. The two people were walking talking and laughing. One of them glanced sideways at Yun He and his group, and suddenly started to tremble all over.
Neither Yunxi nor Yunzhi noticed it, but Song Qingshu's attention was immediately attracted. He took a closer look at the two people to make sure that they were not the nobles he knew or the children of the Wenchen family. Moreover, Yunxi was also wearing a hat at this time.
He should not be recognized by anyone, and seeing that his body was shaking abnormally, he immediately became suspicious and reminded Yunxi softly: "Master, there is a person in front of you who recognized you, and his reaction was unusual."
Yun He quickly raised his head and glanced at the two people, feeling that one of them looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he finally thought of who this person was.
"It turns out it's you." Yunxi said.
When the man heard Yun Xi's words, he immediately knelt down. Fortunately, Song Qingshu had the sharp eyesight and quick hands to support him.
Yunxi looked at the other person and found that his skin color was darker. He immediately understood why the previous person was so nervous, but he did not say anything about it and just ordered: "Follow me."
After saying that, he walked out of the Washi. The two men quickly followed.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of Xihua, and Yunxi was about to go in with a face.
Song Qingshu asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, those two are still following, how to arrange for them?"
"Let them enter the palace. I have something to talk to them about tonight."
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules."
"I will not let them enter the harem, where your guards usually stay. I will also deal with their affairs in the Jinshen Hall." Yunxi looked at Song Qingshu and still had some opinions, and said: "Although this matter is not big,
, but not too small. I have wanted to arrange it for a long time, but there are too many things to do and I have forgotten. Now I am in a hurry to deal with it because I am afraid I will forget it again. "
When Song Qingshu saw Yunxi's instructions, he could not say anything more and led the two people into the imperial city.
