Soon, these patrols were rushed over, and escorted them to the Taishou Mansion together with the poppies and handed over to Cai Wei for disposal. The fifty taels of silver that had been put down was also taken back. Holding the five tickets, Liu Hua was a little bit dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the dignified princess fell to such a point that she was blackmailed by a few rascals, and even her and her daughter were almost robbed.
Yan Rui didn't know the situation of Fuwan's family. Seeing that the situation had subsided, she cautiously asked: "Your Royal Highness, why don't you bring a few guards when you are away?"
In fact, Ma Yun not only arranged a residence and maidservants for their family, but also arranged some guards, but Fu Wan always felt that these people were sent by Liu Xin to monitor them, so she left them at home when she came out today. , I didn’t expect that these people really listened to what he said, but they didn’t follow him. Now I want to come, but I am worried. When Yan Rui asks, Liu Hua's face turns red, and he bit his head and said: "I often I heard people say that Xiangyang City is the safest place in the world. I just want to come here to watch an illusion. There will be any danger. Alas, I didn’t expect it to be just a vain name."
Diao Chan, who had been standing beside him coldly, heard this, and felt a little unhappy in her heart. These days, she heard and witnessed that in Xiangyang city, whether it is a family of noble families, ordinary people, or merchants, they The smiles on their faces can be seen. They are very satisfied with their current lives. From this point of view, leaving aside other places for the time being, at least Xiangyang presents a prosperous scene under Liu Xin’s governance, compared to the previous year. Luoyang is not bad at all,
Seeing Liu Hua's disdain for Xiangyang, Diao Chan couldn't help but said: "The world is so big, there are not many young people, is it worth the fuss?"
Through what I have seen and heard in the past few days, Liu Hua’s overall feeling towards Xiangyang is still good, but the incident that I encountered today really frightened her. In addition, she was born in a royal family and has always been used to being superior. During the time she was Xu Huang’s prisoner, she was not willing to lower her noble head, and she spoke without words. She said whatever she thought of. The words she just said were not thought through at all. In fact, it did not mean that she was right. Xiangyang dismissed it,
According to Liu Hua’s old temperament, if someone ridiculed her in this way, she would jump out to refute a few words, but the experience during this period of time taught her a little lesson. When the words came to her lips, she still held back. Because she always thought that Yan Rui was Liu Xin's concubine, and Yan Rui was quite respectful to this mysterious girl with a veil, only when this woman was a very close person to Liu Xin, and now their family is mailed to Liu Xin. Under the fence, how can you not bear to swallow a bit
At this time, Yan Rui also knew that Fu Wan and his family had caused the incident to watch the illusion performance, and she couldn't help but turn around and said: "Miss Diaochan, can you ask the princess's family to watch it in the private room? The princess is the body of ten thousand gold , It’s always a bit wrong to mix with those common people,"
The establishment of this illusion hall has a lot to do with Liu Xin. Yu Ji changed from a liar to Liu Xin's "big artist". Naturally, he was even more grateful to Liu Xin. There were no movies or TV at that time. There is no internet, game room, and spiritual life is very scarce. The wonderful illusion performances are naturally the most attractive to children. There are many children in Zhoumufu, and they often clamor to come to the illusion hall in their free time, so Yu Ji So there are two private rooms in the prefecture and pastoral mansion in the museum to ensure that people in the mansion can have seats at any time.
Diao Chan didn’t know about these things, but the guard captain who was accompanying him knew about it. When he learned that Diao Chan and the others wanted to watch the magic show, he decided to take them directly into the private room from the VIP passage and listened to Yan Rui’s Proposal, Diao Chan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard had received special instructions from Ma Yun in advance. As long as Diaochan and the others did not run away, they could try their best to meet their requirements, so he nodded gently.
Diao Chan said to Liu Hua: "Since you are the princess, please come with us."
Today’s encounter originally left Fu Wan and his wife totally uninterested, but several children, including Fu Shou, were full of anticipation. Seeing the little face of the young son’s tears, Liu Hua couldn’t help but nodded.
Illusion is the magic of later generations, and after two years of development, the Illusion Hall has added juggling and other projects. It is known that people from the prefecture and animal husbandry have come to watch, and Yu Ji has taken out his housekeeping skills and personally performed on stage and performed wonderful performances. Not only made the children laugh, but also wiped out the displeasure of Fu Wan and his wife. Lu Lingqi in the next room, her small hands became red, and she immediately changed her mind and didn’t want to learn to dance. She wanted to “change career” to the Magic Museum. Learning illusion skills, in the future, when you are hungry, you will be able to turn into a table of delicious food. If Yan Rui didn't stop drinking sternly, she would probably go to worship Yuji as a teacher on the spot.
When the lights came on, Fu Wan was surprised to find that the entire hall of illusion was full of seats, and many people looked like ordinary people, not very wealthy, and couldn’t help but stop the one who was passing by. The old man asked, "This uncle, the ticket for the Illusion Hall requires two and two silver pieces. Why are you willing to see it
The old man chuckled and said, "You are from a foreign country. You outsiders naturally need two or two silver dollars to come to see it. We locals in Xiangyang have a free ticket every year. The ticket I got is exactly today's. Bring people's grandson over to take a look."
After Fu, I realized that it’s no wonder that tickets are so tight, free tickets also take up seats, and there are naturally fewer seats for paid tickets. In fact, this old man is not completely correct. In addition to Xiangyang County, other counties and counties also issue free tickets. Liu Xin’s original intention to set up the Hall of Illusion is to allow the general public to recognize the deceptions by watching illusion performances. If the common people look down on illusion performances, then his goal will be difficult to achieve. If it is completely free, it will cause overcrowding. So I came up with this method of issuing free tickets and controlling the number of viewers in each performance.
Of course Fu Wan couldn't think of it so far-reaching, and Liu Hua couldn't even think of it. He just felt that Liu Xin's approach was a little unreasonable, and couldn't help asking: "Is this Liu Zhoumu really so good to the people, but I don't believe it,"
The old man flushed suddenly and said angrily: "You foreigners, don't slander Master Liu. Old man, I have lived such a long time, and I have met such a good official for the first time since Master Liu arrived in Xiangyang. I have to worry about food and clothes. I can’t eat meat all the time in the past year. Now I don’t have a problem eating meat every day. Master Liu has done a lot of good things. I don’t bother to talk to you outsiders."
Liu Hua was ridiculed by an ordinary old man, and his face was a little uncontrollable, and said: "You keep saying that Mrs. Liu is good, but only you Xiangyang people will benefit, and what is the benefit of the people in the world?"
When these words were spoken, Liu Hua himself felt a bit irrational, but saw the old man curl his lips and said: "That is the blessing that we Xiangyang people have cultivated in several lifetimes. The genius sent Master Liu to be Jingzhou shepherd. I want everyone in the world to feel the benefits of Master Liu, unless Master Liu becomes the emperor."
A farmer-like person who followed the old man and exited the field hurriedly said: "Old man Wang, go, go, don't talk these crazy things,"
Another person said: "Old man Wang, you didn't drink alcohol today. Why did you start talking about alcohol? Don't cause trouble."
Although the tone of these people was tense, they couldn’t tell that they were a little scared. Obviously, they often talk like this when there are no outsiders.
Old man Wang said disdainfully: "Just talk, there is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, everyone still thinks that way. If Master Liu really becomes the emperor, my old man will be at ease even if he is dead."
Several people around saw that Fu Wan and his party were full of fresh faces, worried that Old Man Wang would cause trouble, and dragged his grandson and grandson to the outside of the Illusion Hall.
Fu Wan and Liu Hua looked at each other, a little at a loss. It wasn't until Yan Shi came to greet them that they gradually came back to their senses. With the experience of this afternoon, Liu Hua was very willing to go with them. All of the guards are all five big and three thick. With these people around, the sense of security has suddenly risen several levels. It's just that the veiled mysterious girl never said a word from start to finish, as if she was too lazy to care about their family.
In fact, Diaochan is not a arrogant woman. On the contrary, due to her childhood training, she is very easy-going and has a sweet mouth. In the past, the maids did not wait to see her in the prefecture, just because she was too beautiful. , Because of jealousy, now, Diaochan suddenly regained her freedom. The maids in the house didn’t know whether this meant the lady or the master, so naturally they didn’t dare to despise her anymore.
After more than half a year of solitary life, Diaochan is no longer like the time when he first arrived at the prefecture and shepherd’s house. He kept the mission that Wang Yun had given in his heart. Without the fetters of that mission, Diaochan is better than ever. To live more easily, seeing people smile three-pointedly, and gradually gain popularity in the prefecture,
But in the face of Liu Hua, the noble Han princess, Diao Chan was very stingy and refused to even give her a smiley face. There was only one reason. Liu Hua just said bad things about Xiangyang, probably the less he could get, the more I feel precious. I have been here for three years. No matter how hard she tries, it’s hard to win Liu Xin’s favor. Even Diaochan herself doesn’t know. Since when, she began to worry about Liu Xin, sometimes at night. I would dream of his handsome and determined face, and even she could not tolerate others saying that Liu Xin even had a bad thing, even if that person was a princess of a big man.
Liu Hua only regards Diaochan as a lady in the prefecture, so she didn’t care about her performance. As the highest official in Jingzhou, the girls in the family are arrogant. It is natural for Liu Hua himself to do the same. Coming,
There was nothing to say all the way back home. The two young children’s own maids led them to play in the back. Fushou had also been a queen for more than a year. She liked to sit quietly, and then accompanied her parents to gossip in the front hall, remembering In the Illusion Hall today, what ordinary people said, Fushou couldn't help saying: "Father, mother, my child thinks that Liu Xin is likely to become the emperor soon. His ambition is already known to everyone."
