The salted duck and the skeleton radish soup were served one after another, and the salted duck looked like white meat, which was nothing special, but it tasted good. The meat tastes like osmanthus, and then dips it in fried soybean flour, onion and garlic and other dipping water, and it is full of aftertaste when you bite into it.

Maybe Zhu Gaoxu's appearance of enjoying food doesn't look like a prince who enjoys all the wealth. But he is still in the lively pavilion, in the dazzling Jingshi market, feeling this purest and direct moment of pleasure and satisfaction.

People will endure too many responsibilities, suffering, and helplessness in the world, and the most interesting process is not like this, getting a little satisfaction from time to time?

After eating and drinking, Zhu Gaoxu and the other three walked out of the Fuller Courtyard, waited in the carriage for a while, and Wang Gui returned.

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain, asked Wang Gui to come over, and whispered quietly. Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Du Jiaerlang, his eyes swept over his sister Du Qianrui's face, and said directly: "Go to the jade shop." ”

"Yes." Wang Gui clenched his fists in response and walked to the front to catch the car.

The group went to the jade shop first, Zhu Gaoxu told Wang Gui to do two things, and the remaining three people chatted and waited in the shop. Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of bringing Du Erlang back to the palace for the time being.

When Wang Gui returned to the jade shop, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Du Erlang and asked, "Are you willing to follow me?" ”

Du Erlang said without hesitation: "Thank you for the small errand." ”

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I'll let you do something now, if you are clever and do it well, I will give you another promising errand." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Du Erlang said happily.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Wang Gui, and his chin raised slightly. So Wang Gui went out.

After a while, a fairly white-looking young woman walked in with Wang Gui, it was the Chen family who died in Jinan City, Shandong Province and was brought back to his house by Zhu Gaoxu.

There were a total of five people in the study, Zhu Gaoxu looked back left and right, and said: "Let's rehearse two 'dramas' today, which is a kind of singing. ”

Du Erlang wanted to speak and stopped, and when Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at him, he said: "The little one can't sing!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and shook his head: "Touching porcelain is also singing, it's enough to sing like that." It is life like a drama, all relying on acting skills. ”

He took out a few pieces of paper, handed them to Du Qianrui, and said: "There are two plays, I have written down all the lines, you don't have to memorize them when acting, just say something that is almost the meaning."

There are two people in the play, Du Erlang and Chen. The two of you play husband and wife, Chen is older than Du Erlang, this is not unusual, as the saying goes, doesn't it say that a female junior holds a gold brick? ”

Zhu Gaoxu saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him and listening attentively, so he continued with great interest, "Let's rehearse...... It is in this study room, and the debut is in the major teahouses and inns in Beijing. There are four performances in the morning and afternoon of each day, and they are performed in places with many people in four directions in the Jingshi City, and they leave quickly after the performance. Now I'll start teaching you. ”

So Zhu Gaoxu taught Du Erlang and Chen in detail, and talked for a long time until they understood. Zhu Gaoxu even feels that he has the talent to be a director, and when describing action lines, he can tell them what they should feel and what emotions they should have.

"Okay, try it now." Zhu Gaoxu clasped his palms together and said, "Remember the words I told you, what is it called?" ”

Du Erlang replied skillfully: "Son of Benevolence! ”

“action！” Zhu Gaoxu ordered.

Du Erlang and Chen looked at each other and looked at each other. Du Erlang wittily reminded Chen: "It's time to start!" ”

He sat down in a chair and pretended to be eating a dried fruit snack.

Chen walked around with his back bent nearby, came to Wang Gui's side, and said in a thick Shandong accent: "Your nobleman give me a copper plate, I haven't eaten for three days." ”

"Go, go!" Wang Gui waved his hand matter-of-factly.

Chen came to Du Qianrui again and repeated what he had just said. Du Qianrui took out a copper coin, as if Chen was very dirty, and threw it to the ground from a very high place, Chen hurriedly knelt on the ground and grabbed the copper coin, and then thanked him for his kindness.

Du Erlang heard Chen's voice, turned his head to look at him in confusion and surprise, got up suddenly, and shouted, "Erniang! ”

"Husband!" Chen stared at Du Erlang and shouted.

The two ran to the middle together, their hands pulled together, and Du Erlang said: "Erniang is not in her mother's house in Shandong, how can she be in Beijing?" ”

Chen immediately cried and complained: "The war in my hometown was not harvested, and there was no grain at home at the beginning of the year, so I fled to the city with the villagers, and I almost starved to death!" If it weren't for the 'benevolent and holy son of heaven' to allocate military rations to help the hungry, I am afraid that I would not have seen my husband! ”

"The Son of Benevolence? Is Erniang talking about today's saints? Du Erlang said.

Chen shook his head and said: "The Son of Rensheng is the son of Beiping, and the husband doesn't know the name?" The Son of Heaven has even taken out military rations and distributed them to the hungry people, and I don't know his name among the people of Shandong! ”

Du Erlang grabbed Chen with a nervous face and said, "Erniang doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" The son of the world is the son of the world, how can he be called the son of heaven? ”

Chen said: "That's just a name, the son of the world is the eldest son of the saint, and sooner or later he will be the son of heaven, and it's not a name I called." With the benevolent and holy Son of Heaven, the people of Shandong will be blessed. ”

"Click!" Zhu Gaoxu beckoned, "Stop." It's okay, the words are good, but there are some places where the traces are too heavy, and you need to use feelings. And the eyes are not enough. Chen, think about the feeling of being unable to live anymore and being suddenly rescued. By the way, Shandong, in Shandong, when we first met. ”

So Zhu Gaoxu asked them to perform again, and ordered the rest of the day to rehearse and familiarize themselves repeatedly. Then the second show continues.

Wang Gui carried the teapot and pretended to be a tea doctor. At this time, Chen went over and asked, "Are you still short of manpower?" We are from Shandong, don't need to be paid, just give us food! ”

"There is no shortage! Enough people. Wang Guidao.

Chen and Du Erlang "plopped" and knelt on the ground, and Chen said: "Ask the nobles to be kind, we only ask for food, not wages!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the middle of the study with his hands behind his back and said, "Don't disturb the guest officers, what's the matter?" ”

Chen immediately said in a Shandong accent: "We want to help with the work and beg for food." We are not bad people from Shandong, we were originally honest farmers, but we came to Beijing after the disaster in the township, just to survive. ”

"That's right, we were dying of starvation in the township, so we escaped from the wilderness." Du Erlang said.

Chen said: "If it weren't for the 'Son of Benevolence' to send people to send military rations for disaster relief, we would have starved to death!" ”

Du Erlang said in a deep voice: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, don't mention the name of the people in Shandong, the Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven today." ”

"Sooner or later, as long as the benevolent and holy son of heaven is here, the people of Shandong will be blessed." Chan said.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "People who come from unknown sources, and there is no acquaintance to recommend us, we don't dare to use it, you go to other places to ask." ”

Chen and Du Erlang still said some words of thanks, got up and turned to leave.

After the performance, Du Qianrui came with tea, and everyone took a breath. Du Qianrui asked softly: "Lord Wang, Erlang, will they be caught by the government if they speak out?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "So you have to be smart, when you get to a place, you will see the situation before you act, and then leave after the performance." Even if the people of the government and the Jinyi guard see it, this kind of thing is very complicated, and they will report it to the peak first, and you will already run away at that time.

I'll watch from a nearby carriage. It's really bad luck, if you are caught, I will come forward to show the seal to interfere in this matter. Don't worry. ”

Zhu Gaoxu reminded again: "The two 'dramas' seem to be dramas but not dramas, and when they are performed on the spot, the reactions of the good people in the teahouse, Dr. Tea, and the shopkeeper may be different, so you have to adapt to the situation and finish the play." As long as you shake out the origin of the 'benevolent and holy son of heaven' and the good deeds of opening military rations to help the victims, it will be done! ”

After explaining everything, Zhu Gaoxu asked Du Qianrui and the two "actors" to stay, and he and Wang Gui took a carriage back to the house first, and said that they would come by carriage early tomorrow morning and pick them up to perform.

Wang Gui only cared about catching the car, and didn't ask any extra words.

Zhu Gaoxu closed his eyes in the carriage, still thinking about it. The key to this matter is in Shandong!

The most difficult place for the Northern Army to fight in the "Battle of Jingyan" was Shandong, with countless casualties and no progress until the Jingshi City was broken, and the Jinan City was still in the hands of Tie Xuan; And for a long time before, the Shengyong Tiexuan Army had been threatening the Northern Army on the flank...... Therefore, the soldiers above and below all hate that place, and they have to burn, kill, and loot several times; At the beginning of this year, Zhu Gaoxu was stationed in Jinan City with the army, and he saw with his own eyes that the army connived at the looting of soldiers and soldiers, and this is how the Chen family came.

If the prince buys people's hearts elsewhere, it is not a big problem, but it is subtle in Shandong. My father couldn't help but think of comparing.

The most confusing part of this scene is one thing that Zhu Gaoxu learned from Gao Xianning and what really happened.

But there is still the possibility of failure...... Sometimes it's safest to do nothing. Zhu Gaoxu thought of what he said, "Don't gamble to win", but what's the use of only understanding the truth?

…… Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went out in a carriage and came to the jade shop again.

He asked a few words about the practice, then took Du Erlang and Chen out together, and first went to an inn near Jubaomen and chose a wine shop.

The car rushed to a nearby alley, and two dressed men got out of the carriage.

Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to remind: "If someone asks, Chen will say that his surname is Li, and Du Erlang has to say that his surname is Zhang, and you have an accent from Jiangxi." ”

After the two answered, they went out of the alley.

After waiting for a long time, the two came back and went straight into the carriage, and the return was a good performance, and many people were watching. So Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked Wang Gui to drive away, came to the Taiping Gate, which was far away from here, and asked them to go to a teahouse to perform.

This was repeated many times, until the afternoon, the situation was not bad, and he was not caught red-handed by the Jinyi guards.
