It's a juggling team.
It seems to be a family. The middle-aged man and his son are performing tricks, and a middle-aged woman is holding a gong to attract the audience.
Feng Sheng has seen this kind of blindfold trick a lot, but Zhichun Zhiqiu has never seen it, and he watched it with great interest.
At this time, when the man said that he was going to the Queen Mother’s Paradise Garden to pick a fairy peach for everyone’s joy, he picked up a rope and threw it into the sky. The rope stood in the air and rose higher and higher until a After the rope was pulled, the man reached out and pulled the rope, as if trying to see if it was firm.
"I'm old and clumsy, so you should go."
"Father, I won't go." The boy seemed very frightened, crying and quit.
The man's face was full of sorrow: "Son, our family is living here, and all the money we have on us has been spent, so we can only rely on some ancestral skills to make a living. Your younger brothers and sisters haven't eaten for two days, go and steal it." Xiantao has won the favor of all the spectators, and when there is a reward, our family will not have to worry about food and drink."
The father and son staged a tragic scene, and finally the little boy was finally persuaded by his father, rubbed his hands and climbed up the rope. He climbed extremely fast, and soon reached the range where no one could see even if he looked up.
At this time, there was a faint sound of fighting, and suddenly the rope shook, and when all the spectators were worried about the little boy, a huge peach fell from the sky.
The man shouted: "This is my son who stole the flat peach!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a scream, and several stumps fell down, as if they were the clothes worn by the child before.
The man rushed up and cried loudly: "My son, the god who guarded the peach garden must have discovered it, so he killed my son." Hearing it shed tears.
Someone in the crowd said: "We also watched the trick, but we didn't expect to harm the child. If the rich come out to make money, it must be interesting."
So people gave out their pockets one after another, and Zhichun didn't hold back, took out a small piece of broken silver, and put it in the gong.
Feng Sheng stood aside and watched with a smile, and couldn't help but shook his head.
"This trick is deceiving, the person is definitely not dead." Fan Jinchuan said suddenly.
Feng Sheng hurriedly dragged him to the outside, and said: "Okay, it's fine if you know it yourself, don't tell the truth if you see it, it's not easy for people to go to the rivers and lakes to beg for a bowl of food."
"But this is deceiving the people."
Feng Sheng let go of her hand: "Then you go and expose it."
"I… "
At this time, there was a burst of applause from the crowd behind him, but it was the little boy who came back from the dead and was thanking the judges.
"It's not easy to do their job. It's just a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer. You are stupid to be a spectator. It's just a festive festival."
"Brother, can you see the trick in the middle?"
Feng Sheng glanced at him sideways: "If I can see other people's unique skills, I should stop being a master and set up a stall to perform. I can earn more than my master."
Hearing this, the first thing Fan Jinchuan thought of was the fact that Brother Fang Xian just became his master.
It is related to Feng Sheng's salary.
Everyone in the world knows that masters in Shaoxing are good, but masters in Shaoxing are also notoriously expensive, at least one hundred taels of silver per year, not counting the three festivals and six rituals, clothes for four seasons, and food for daily use. This is just the price tag of the most common master. If someone is famous, such as someone who has been a master for a feudal official, even the price of a thousand taels is not surprising.
But the annual salary of a county magistrate is only seventy taels. So don't look at Fan Jinchuan's promise that day, he got tangled up on the way to Taizhou. After stumbled and stumbled a few times, he didn't have the nerve to express his embarrassment, Feng Sheng took the initiative to ask, and when he learned about this matter, he lowered his salary to thirty taels a year in the name of mainly asking Brother Fan for advice and not asking for money. The matter is resolved.
In fact, Fan Jinchuan didn't know that Brother Fang Xian understood his embarrassment, but he couldn't do it like some officials set up clever names to rob the common people.
At the same time, he couldn't help imagining in his mind the scene of Brother Fang Xian wearing a coarse cloth and beating the gong as a performer, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"My dear brother is really a funny man."
"Who's funny?"
The conversation was abrupt, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see Gou Qing wearing a crimson brocade robe, holding two Wenwan walnuts in his hand, looking at it with a smile.
This Gouqing is really a strange person, no matter whether he is wearing official robes or ordinary clothes, he always looks like a libertine, not like a court official, but like a man who only knows how to fight chickens and dogs all day long Rich playboy.
He is not handsome, he can only be considered straight, but his pair of peach blossom eyes give him a romantic temperament, standing in the crowd is very eye-catching, Feng Sheng has already seen several girls passing by here secretly looking at him.
"Master Inspector."
"Lord Fan, Master Fang."
After being polite to each other, Gou Qing came closer: "Master Fang made it easy for me to find, I wanted to invite you out to watch the lanterns, but who knew you weren't there when I went to the county government."
Fan Jinchuan took a step forward, and said, "Gou Patrol inspected Yaxing, no business today?"
Gou Qing glanced at him strangely: "Master Fan is also very leisurely. Today is the Lantern Festival, and the whole city celebrates together. The inspection department's errands are arranged by someone." After finishing speaking, he said to Fang Fengsheng: "Wait a minute There are fireworks in the east of Ercheng, it's rare to see, I wonder if Master Fang would like to go with him?"
Feng Sheng readily agreed, and then asked Fan Jinchuan: "Do you want to go with me, my lord?"
Naturally we will go together.
A group of people went to the east of the city. Obviously, many people also knew the news and rushed to the east of the city.
The crowd was crowded, and a few people were carried forward by the crowd, and they were bumped from time to time. At this time, Fang Fengsheng regretted it deeply, and he would not have come to watch the fireworks if he knew it.
In the crowd, she was stepped on and almost fell.
An arm came from behind and held her.
"Master Fang, be careful. If you fall in such a crowded place, you will be trampled."
It's Gouqing.
Fang Fengsheng felt that he was a little close to him, so he pushed him away uncomfortably, and turned to look for Fan Jinchuan and the others, but found that they were squeezed apart.
"Let's go out first and find an open space to wait for them."
Gou Qing took her by the hand and walked out, bumping into each other due to the crowd. Feng Sheng always felt that he was doing this on purpose, and felt a sense of being molested.
Yes, even though she was a man, she still felt being molested, and this feeling was not aimless.
After finally walking out, he stopped at a remote street corner.
"Master Fang, are you okay?"
Feng Sheng's face was a little red, it was squeezed and hot.
She smiled: "Nothing."
Gou Qing rolled his eyes on her flushed cheeks, and smiled, "It's fine if nothing happens. If anything happens, I'm afraid Master Fan will eat me."
Feng Sheng laughed loudly: "The inspector is just joking."
Gou Qing turned the walnut in his hand and said with a smile, "Are you kidding? I don't believe Master Fang's ingenuity would fail to see Master Fan guarding me like that, making me look like a man-eating tiger. ate."
"This statement is even more absurd." Feng Sheng laughed dryly, and was about to find a topic to divert the conversation, when suddenly he felt his eyes dim, and when he looked up, Gou Qing's face was close at hand.
"Fengfu."
"Tick inspection!"
Gou Qing's eyes became deep, and there seemed to be a light in them.
"Then Master Fang can see my intentions?" His voice also became hoarse and confusing.
Feng Sheng laughed, and took a step back: "Don't make fun of Feng Fu when you go to the patrol, you and I are both men, so there is nothing else to say."
"It doesn't seem surprising that men like men."
"Is this related to your cooperation?"
As soon as this remark came out, Gou Qing's eyes darkened: "Naturally it has nothing to do with it."
Feng Sheng nodded: "Since it has nothing to do with it, I don't want to spoil the cooperation with Gou Xunjian for nothing. After all, it is difficult to find a good partner."
Gou Qing took a look at her and said with a smile: "I was joking with Master Fang, but I didn't expect Master Fang to be so serious that he even raised the issue of cooperation."
"Actually, I was also joking with the Gou inspection. Our cooperation will start when spring starts. I hope Gou will take care of it during the inspection."
Just as he was talking, Feng Sheng saw a particularly eye-catching Jade Rabbit lantern in the crowd not far away, and then looked closely at who else could there be besides Fan Jinchuan.
He held up his arms and raised the lantern very high, as if he was afraid of being hit.
"Check, I saw Mr. Fan, go and call him."
She hurried over there.
"Brother Fan!"
"Brother..."
When Fan Jinchuan saw Feng Sheng, his face was full of surprise, and he squeezed out with all his might.
"My dear brother, wherever you have gone, everyone is looking for you."
Feng Sheng turned back to look at Gouqing, but found that there was no one at the corner of the street, and said: "There are too many people, so they got separated, and I am looking for you too. Where are Zhiqiu and the others?"
"Uncle Yu and Xiao Qi followed them and made an appointment to meet at Shi Pai later. There are too many people, everything else has been squeezed out, and only this is left."
Fan Jinchuan was very ashamed and handed over the lantern.
Feng Sheng saw that his clothes were messed up, many footprints had been stepped on his shoes, and his hair was a little messy, but the Jade Rabbit lantern was still in good condition, obviously it took a lot of effort to protect the lantern.
"I see that Brother Xian likes this lamp very much, so he only protects it."
Feng Sheng's eyes flickered, and he took the lamp: "I really like it, thank you Brother Fan."
"No thanks, thank you for nothing. By the way, what about the inspection? I remember seeing him following you at the end."
"He? Maybe he got separated."
"Then let's go to Xiaoqi and the others first, don't get lost this time, I'll lead my virtuous brother, and give me the lamp, I'll hold it for you."
The Jade Rabbit Lantern returned to Fan Jinchuan's hand again, and his other hand held Fang Fengsheng's wrist through his sleeve.
The two Pianpianjia sons have very different temperaments, but they are both very handsome. Carrying eye-catching lanterns, walking hand in hand in the crowd, as beautiful as a painting, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
In the distance, there was a muffled sound, as if a cowhide drum was beating in people's hearts.
With the sound of '咻—咚', the sky not far away brightened. Large tracts of fireworks exploded in the air, some like silver snakes, some like blooming chrysanthemums, very beautiful. Another large piece of brilliance poured down from the sky, forming silver and golden waterfalls, which were breathtakingly spectacular.
Surrounded by exclamations, everyone stopped and looked up at the beautiful and bright fireworks.
Fang Fengsheng and Fan Jinchuan were also watching.
While watching the fireworks, Fan Jinchuan quietly moved his eyes to look at the handsome face beside him. He moved and still held Feng Sheng's hand, and suddenly felt that this is actually not bad, if Brother Fang Xian could be his master for the rest of his life.
