Chapter 349

Xiajun King's birthday was very lively, Xiao Ruan followed Zhao Yan to the front yard and saw that the crowds who came to celebrate the birthday had already crowded the yard.The whole courtyard was decorated with lights and festoons, bright as day, and its lively level was almost the same as that of the prince's wedding.

All the people coming and going in the courtyard were saying auspicious and flattering words, and the maids at the main entrance were still leading many well-dressed men and women into the front yard. There was a huge crowd of people, but only King Xia could not be seen.

"Your Highness, the master has already gone to the stage, this way please."

The maid who came to greet them led Xiao Ruan and Zhao Yan respectfully towards the brightly lit courtyard in front of them. Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, the sound of drums and gongs came from inside.When they entered, there was another burst of enthusiastic applause.

It turned out that there was an opening acrobatic performance in the yard.

Looking around, Xiao Ruan found that the courtyard was divided into upper and lower floors, all of which had stands, and King Xia was sitting in the most conspicuous place closest to the stage.

Seemingly hearing the message from the long follower beside him, Duke Xia turned around and waved at Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan sat down on the other side as if he didn't see it.

From the very beginning, he didn't want Xiao Ruan to come to the front yard. He was worried that her identity would be recognized and that Xiao Ruan would take the opportunity to escape.But because King Xia sent someone to invite him, it was hard not to give him face, so he finally agreed to bring Xiao Ruan.

But Duke Xia is the focus of the night, if he is not noticed, it is natural to stay as far away from him as possible.

Xiao Ruan sat down with Zhao Yan, and saw unfamiliar faces all around.Zhao Yan and them were only interacting with each other out of courtesy, and there was a touch of anxiety in his heart.

Her previous plan was to find an opportunity to come to the front yard when Zhao Yan didn't know about it, and then sneak out of Xiajun Palace when no one else was paying attention.
But when Zhao Yan appeared suddenly, not only did he not communicate with the people around him, but he also didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the performance on the stage.She even cast her eyes on herself from time to time, it was really hard for Xiao Ruan to find a chance to leave, so she could only stare at the stage secretly anxiously.

At this time, the performance of the Chen family class has officially started. The artist on stilts is actually a five or six-year-old doll. The doll wears red teeth and white. On top of it is a porcelain altar the size of a wine jar, and the front of the porcelain altar is pasted with a huge "Shou" character with red paper.

The little doll walked to one side of the stage and just stood still, and a little doll on stilts also came out from the other side. On the big porcelain altar above the man's head was a "Fu" character.

The two walked around the stage, stood still on the stage, and bowed to the audience. Everyone saw that their small bodies were at right angles, their legs were trembling as if they were about to fall at any time, and they all held their breath. took a breath.

And at this moment, someone in the audience suddenly threw something at one of them. Before everyone could see what they were throwing, the little doll on the left had already firmly caught it in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone burst into enthusiastic applause immediately.

The two little dolls didn't seem to notice the crowd's cheers. After slowly straightening up, the two looked at each other. The little doll who had just received something waved at the person opposite, and the people in the audience felt a blur in front of them. , a red silk appeared in front of everyone.

"I wish King Xia's fortune is as long as the east sea, and his life is not as old as Nanshan!"

Someone read the words on the red silk, and immediately received a burst of applause. Even the Duke of Xia nodded frequently, obviously liking the way of celebrating birthdays like the theater troupe very much.

"The Chen family class is very famous in the cloud. Take a look today. If you think their performance is good, I will ask them to perform for you alone."

Amidst the applause, Zhao Yan saw Xiao Ruan staring at the stage intently, thinking that she was really attracted by the performance on the stage, the displeasure on her face slowly receded, and she spoke in a pleasant manner.

Xiao Ruan heard Zhao Yan's words in a trance. He was stunned for a moment and was about to speak. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said in disbelief: "You really let them perform for me alone?"

"Of course this king will not lie to you."

Just now in Xiao Ruan's yard, he had clearly told Xiao Ruan that he could invite the Zhao family class, but now being questioned by Xiao Ruan, Zhao Yan felt a dark face.

"In that case, I would like to thank Your Highness in advance!"

Not noticing the disappointment on Zhao Yan's face, Xiao Ruan immediately thanked him happily after receiving the affirmative answer.But after thinking about it, he said: "There are too many people, but it seems noisy. When I see an artist I like, the prince will help me invite it."

Zhao Yan had never seen Xiao Ruan smile before, but at this moment, he was stunned by the smile on her face, and without thinking, he nodded and agreed: "If there is anything you like, just tell me, and I will definitely arrange it with you. "

Noticing Zhao Yan's calm attitude, Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and really thought about it for a while: "The Chen family class is really well-deserved, even the little dolls who are a few years old are outstanding. I just saw that the one who can touch the banner The little doll is very good. I don’t know how the two little dolls are able to stand on the stilts?"

After saying that, Xiao Ruan curiously turned his eyes to the direction of the backstage, and said expectantly: "Your Highness, can I go backstage to see how they got off the stilts? If the prince is worried, he can let Tweety follow me .”

Worried that Zhao Yan would disagree, Xiao Ruan secretly glanced at Cui'er beside her, and added a sentence on purpose.

There are too many people in the stands, Zhao Yan really didn't want Xiao Ruan to leave his side for half a step, but after hearing Xiao Ruan's words, there was a flash of embarrassment on his face: "This king is not... just, if you I really want to go and see this king..."

"Don't worry, my lord, this servant will definitely protect Madam and prevent her from being harmed in the slightest."

Before Zhao Yan finished speaking, Cui Er agreed, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He originally wanted to say that he could accompany Xiao Ruan to the backstage in person, but being robbed by Cui Er, it was hard to say the rest, so he had to let Cui Er take Xiao Ruan away.

The backstage was very busy, full of various props, but there were no two little dolls who performed on stilts just now.

"Madam, wait a moment, this servant will help you find out where the two little dolls are."

Tweety was very responsible, and she helped Xiao Ruan search for it as soon as she came in. Xiao Ruan couldn't ask for it, but before she saw that there was a lot of backstage, Tweety rushed back.

"Go back to madam, this servant has already inquired about it, and those two little dolls are going to perform at another house outside the city, so they have already left."

Xiao Ruan felt very surprised when he heard this.

She had been staring at the entrance of the yard all night, and she obviously didn't see anyone leaving, so why did the two little dolls disappear without seeing them?

As if she had expected Xiao Ruan to ask this question, Cui'er pointed to the corner of the backstage and said, "Ma'am, there is actually a back door inside, and the back door is directly connected to the outer courtyard, so they naturally left from there."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Tweety added a very thoughtful sentence: "I also heard that Ban Chen will go to the next one after starring in this one. Madam, if you want to see Ban Master Chen, you have to hurry up."

hurry up?

Xiao Ruan subconsciously thought that in her words, "Hurry up" meant that Team Leader Chen was about to start performing, but when he was about to find the Team Leader Chen he was talking about, he heard an exclamation.

Looking back in surprise, Xiao Ruan was immediately startled by the scene in front of her.

A teacher from a family in Chen's class was walking over with a basin of red liquid, when Tweet beside him bumped into her arms.

The red liquid poured on Tweety'er's body like fresh blood, shocking like blood.

After Tweety reacted, she was furious and insisted on making the man compensate her.

"Oh, this girl is really sorry for me. I really didn't see you passing by just now...how about I pay you for a piece of clothing?"

"Clothes? Do you think that this girl cares about your clothes? Let me tell you, you must give me 50 taels of silver, otherwise you won't even be able to get out of here today!"

The master felt good, and immediately apologized to Tweety.But how to compensate and how much to compensate immediately became the two most concerned things.

Xiao Ruan was blocked by the two of them, she didn't leave or stay, she was about to speak when she suddenly saw a tall and burly man walking towards them.

"What are you doing! Who's turn to perform next, hurry up and get on stage before I do!"

Half of the crowd of onlookers dispersed in an instant. Team leader Chen was about to leave when he suddenly noticed Cui'er and Xiao Ruan, and immediately walked over with a sullen face: "Who are you! This is an important backstage place, and idlers are not allowed to come in! Hurry up!" Walk!"

"Leader, I accidentally bumped into this girl, and I have already promised to compensate her but she is still unwilling, so you judge."

As soon as she saw the person coming, the master from just now stepped forward to explain, and Tweet puffed out her chest as if she wanted to show Master Chen the mess on her body.

"How did you do it? Look at what you've done to the maid next to this lady!"

Team leader Chen rolled his eyes, and directly scolded the master who was still holding the basin away, just when Xiao Ruan and Cui'er thought the other party was going to apologize to them, he left without looking at them.

"Hey! Stop for me!"

After Tweety reacted, she was so angry that she was about to rush forward to meet him and stop her.

"I said this girl, I have already scolded my people, what else do you want? We are celebrating the birthday of King Xia, if the performance is delayed, can you take the responsibility?"

What the man said was really ingenious, not only did he not mention his fault, but he sized Tweety up, and said mockingly: "I've seen a lot of maids like you, don't you just want to extort some money from us Is it? The leader of this class told you that there is no way!"

"You, what kind of attitude is this! You splashed paint all over me, is it possible that I'm not allowed to seek compensation from you?"

Team leader Chen spoke directly, making Cui'er tremble with anger, and even Xiao Ruan felt a little harsh.

Although she was a little strange about Tweety's unrelenting behavior today, the class leader Chen surprised her even more. I thought the class leader of the Chen family class was a very good talker, but it turned out that he would not take even the slightest loss host.
