Chapter 112: How Much Worry Can You Have?

Su Zhen's complexion was slightly gloomy, and he didn't know how to answer Xia Chu's question, so he smiled reluctantly, "I don't know."

An Liang looked at Su Zhen's expression, scratched his heart with all his claws, and said anxiously: "I don't know where Mr. Xia's hometown is, but since he is in Jing Kingdom, he is a subject of Emperor Jing, don't talk nonsense. Our emperor is a first-class A good man, don't compare yourself with your stupid king, be careful to lose your head."

"An Liang." Su Zhen raised his hand and waved at him, "You talk too much."

An Liang replied yes, and retreated to the side unwillingly.Both worried about Su Zhen's displeasure, and a little bit worried that Xia Chu would make Su Zhen unhappy, causing trouble to his upper body, and he didn't even know how he died.

Xia Chu looked back at An Liang in some confusion, and asked Su Zhen in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong? Xiao Liang didn't look very happy."

"Is there?" Su Zhen turned around and asked An Liang, with a deep voice, "Are you unhappy?"

An Liang pursed his lips, "The younger one is Yue Xiaohong's fan of the theater, I heard Mr. Xia say that, I'm just aggrieved for Boss Yue."

Xia Chu laughed and said: "You are obviously wronging the emperor, but I am complaining for Boss Yue. Hey, it's just a play, so there are so many folk legends. Our adults said that our emperor is very hardworking. State affairs, where is the time to travel around for adventures, right?"

An Liang looked up at the ceiling, feeling powerless to say anything else.

While speaking, the gust of wind on the stage stopped, and then turned into a beating of gongs and drums, and the show was about to begin.Xia Chu stopped talking and focused on the stage.But Su Zhen's emotions were not brought up, he turned his head and glanced at her.The emotions in my heart are a little complicated.

He admitted that Xia Chu's words were justified, that operas were nothing more than operas, and the so-called story of the emperor leaving the palace and falling in love with a folk girl was just a literati's romantic fantasy.

He is the emperor, and he came out of the palace just to relax and enjoy the feeling of freedom. Not to mention that he was vigilant that such a thing could not happen, even if it did happen, those courtiers are not sure How to make a mess.

If he doesn't love, why bother to provoke her; if he loves her but can't protect her well, it's better not to love her.

Just like my own queen mother, she was also a long-time favorite back then, with a strong family background and high status, but so what?It's not like always sitting alone in the palace in the cold, but also always beware of intrigue in the harem.If you have a husband, you can't be close, if you have children, you can't be reunited.

Su Zhen sighed lightly.Xia Chu was right, the legendary story of Youlong Xifeng, if you study the result deeply, it can really be regarded as a tragedy.

On the stage, Yue Xiaohong had already entered the stage, she put on a picture and dressed up as a woman, she really didn't look like a man, her figure was so soft and beautiful that Chu Xia sighed.There was also constant applause from the audience.

However, Chu Xia lost interest after watching it for a while.The reason is simple, she doesn't understand well.

If you don't know the charm of singing and reciting, it's okay to speak, but if you can't understand the words, you can't break it.She forgot that she used to watch movies on TV with subtitles.

Looking at it, Xia Chu's mind was distracted, and he began to review the case of Guangjitang in his mind.

After a long sip between Lao Sheng and Hua Dan, the audience cheered and almost lifted the ceiling, but only where Su Zhen and Xia Chu were, both of them were quietly engrossed in each other.

Su Zhen was interrupted by the applause, turned his head to look at Xia Chu, saw her frowning, fingernails gently scratching her lips, wondering what she was thinking, so she asked, "Don't you like to hear it?"

"No." Xia Chu smiled at him, "Don't laugh at me, Mr. Huang."

"how?"

Xia Chu leaned closer to him, covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "I don't quite understand."

Su Zhen couldn't help but smile, "If I knew about it, I wouldn't have come to the theater."

"It's good to see it, go back and brag to our master Liu, at least I have met Yue Xiaohong."

The two took a sip of tea each, and finally set their sights on the stage.Su Zhen chatted with Xia Chu about the drama, and told her what to watch in the drama, and told her why there were so many people singing Dan roles, but Yue Xiaohong was so popular this month, and his singing voice was so good. Where.

Xia Chu listened with great interest, and then cooperated with the live performance, and finally touched a little way.

It's a pity that as soon as I heard a little bit of taste, the Sanxi tune started, and the two protagonists slowly entered the stage to call a curtain call. Immediately, a lot of money was thrown onto the stage. The curtain call was very slow and lengthy.People from the theater troupe walked along the side carrying a basket with long bamboo poles, and the young masters on the second floor put the banknotes and silver ingots into the basket.

The basket went around to Su Zhen, An Liang took out a bank note from his pocket and put it in, Xia Chu also went to touch the money bag, but was held down by Su Zhen, "I'll invite you to play."

Xia Chu glanced into the basket, stuck out his tongue quietly, and said to Su Zhen, "Then thank you, Mr. Huang, it seems a bit embarrassing to put my little money in."

An Liang said on the side: "It's not a big deal, it's really those old masters who hold opera actors who have a lot of money, and it's more expensive than going to brothels."

Su Zhen looked back at his serious expression, and couldn't help teasing, "Have you ever been to a brothel?"

An Liang grimaced at Su Zhen, "Of course I haven't been to the small one."

Xia Chu didn't understand the mystery behind the two master and servant's words, and said, "The brothel is so expensive! How can ordinary people afford it. Isn't it? Xiaoliang, saving money to marry a daughter-in-law is a serious matter." She He waved his hand, "Don't throw money at that place."

An Liang almost cried after hearing this.It's easy for him to be a eunuch!
Su Zhen smiled muffled, stood up and patted An Liang's shoulder to express comfort, "Okay, the show is over, let's find a place to eat."

Su Zhen originally wanted to take Xia Chu to eat at Shidelou, but last time they went there, Xia Chu was shocked by the price of a pot of tea.

After he talked about this idea with Xia Chu, Xia Chu said nothing, "You paid for the tea money for the theater just now. Although I am not as rich as Mr. Huang, how can I say that today is my birthday, and I always have to pay for dinner?" I'll just come and ask."

Seeing that she said so, Su Zhen couldn't hold on anymore.

There are many foreign shops here in the West Market, and naturally there are also many restaurants with exotic food. Xia Chu found a clean environment and went in, and ordered a few recommended dishes.

After ordering the main course, Xia Chu ordered another bowl of noodles, and habitually said that today is her birthday, can I give it away.When going to a restaurant to eat in modern times, anyone who has said birthday will usually give a bowl of noodles in clear soup.

But the restaurants in Xijing City do not have this rule.It's not that there are no such rules, the most important thing is that no one has done this before.Rich people celebrate their birthdays with ostentation and don’t come to restaurants, while poor people have their own bowl of noodles at home on their birthdays.How can anyone save money for a bowl of noodles after paying for a restaurant?
Fortunately, this guy is also smart, after doing some calculations, he knew that it was not a loss at all to give him a bowl of noodles in clear soup, so he readily agreed.Then he took advantage of the situation and asked them if they wanted some wine.

Su Zhen and Xia Chu looked at each other, both a little confused.It is reasonable to drink some wine on birthdays, but the hazy atmosphere of drunkenness after drinking last time made the two of them somewhat murmur.

"No need, we don't drink well." Xia Chu waved to the buddy.

"Young master, it's a birthday. People say that there is no feast without wine." Before Xia Chu could speak, the man said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't drink well. We have mild wine here. Would you like to try it?"

"Wine? You mean that...wine?" Xia Chu became a little interested.

"Hey, I don't know what kind of wine you are talking about, my lord, but you can try it and you will not regret it. There are not many people selling this kind of wine in the capital. They are all made from Suo Suo grapes in Xijiang. This wine is sweet and sour. And it doesn't matter if you don't drink well." The man said with all his strength.

Xia Chu looked at Su Zhen and asked for his opinion.Su Zhen had drunk wine before, so he knew that the alcohol was not too strong, so he said, "If you want to drink, you can have some. It's your birthday after all."

"Okay!" Xia Chu patted the table lightly, with a heroic attitude, "Then let's have a pot first."

"Okay! A jug of wine!" The man shouted loudly.

After a while, the wine was served. The waiter put the jug and wine glass on the table, and poured another glass for each of them, "Try it, both of you. The food will be ready in a while. You can drink first, and greet you if you have anything to do. "

Su Zhen raised his glass and leaned forward, "Xia Chu, happy birthday."

"Thank you Mr. Huang for being able to accompany me on my birthday today. Also, thank you for inviting me to listen to the play. Oh, and thank you for the gift you gave me. And..."

Su Zhen smiled and said, "Would you like to thank you for a glass of wine?"

"Then..." Thank you for letting me know you, Xia Chu said silently in his heart.She clinked glasses with Su Zhen, and they drank the wine in one gulp.

"Is it good?" Su Zhen poured Xia Chu another cup.

"Not bad, it's on the sweet side. If it weren't for the hot wine smell, it would be like fruit juice."

After touching a glass, the two began to drink lightly.After a while, the dishes and noodles were brought up, Xia Chu ordered another empty bowl, picked out half of the bowl of longevity noodles and handed it to Su Zhen.

Su Zhen took it and ate it with chopsticks. The taste can be said to be quite bland, but the taste can be said to be quite strong.A bowl of noodles, Xia Chu gave him half a bowl, he felt like Xia Chu once said, she shared a bowl of mutton soup with Li Erping and Ruan Xi, as if it showed some kind of qualification as a friend.

He ate very seriously, and there was not a single noodle left.

After eating happily and chatting, I added another jug ​​of wine, and when I finished eating, the wine was almost dry.Xia Chu's face was dyed a faint blush, at the tipping point of being slightly drunk and half drunk, very comfortable.

Su Zhen also drank just right, and was in a good mood. He and Xia Chu were having a good time chatting, and he was afraid that the day would end like this. He just wanted to slow down the time.

Slow down until today's sun never sets.

A gust of wind slowly poured in through the half-opened window. Xia Chu slightly raised his face to sniff, and whispered softly: "There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool wind in summer and snow in winter. If you have nothing to worry about, you are a good person in the world." season."

"A good season in the world..." Su Zhen lowered his eyes and shook his head lightly, "It's just when can I have nothing to worry about."

Xia Chu raised his arms to support his chin, and smiled at Su Zhen, "It's good even for a moment."
