Chapter 36 Patrol 2
At the gracious invitation of the wife of the magistrate, Lin Jiabao went to the magistrate's house to have a guest. The mansion of the magistrate is not big, and it is arranged in a simple atmosphere. The cherry blossoms in May are in full bloom, decorating the backyard and looking beautiful.
After lunch, the wife of the magistrate invited the best troupe in Los Angeles to sing. The magistrate's wife specially asked Lin Jiabao to choose a repertoire. Lin Jiabao looked at the signs of the play, which he had never seen before, so he chose one at random. Lin Jiabao watched the play over tea and thought it was very interesting. The wife of the magistrate saw that Lin Jiabao looked seriously and said happily, "Lin Bian Jun also likes to go to the theatre?" The wife of the magistrate is already in her thirties, and she likes going to the theatre most on weekdays. I didn't expect that Lin Jiabao also likes opera at a young age.
"the queen likes to watch it very much, and I often accompany it. But the repertoire in the palace is different from that here. " Most of the repertoire in the palace are specially arranged for the royal family, in which many taboo places are strictly controlled, which are generally auspicious and lively plays.
After hearing that Lin Jiabao often went to the theatre with his empress, the wife of the magistrate thought that this Lin Bian Jun was really a favorite.
A play called Yuanyang buckle is being performed on the stage. The play is about a scholar named Liang Xian and a daughter named Lin Yuaner who fell in love at first sight after a spring rain and fell in love with each other because of a mandarin duck. After that, despite the opposition of their families, the two eloped and married in a place that no one knew. Although life was hard, both of them enjoyed it. Lin Yuaner relied on the outstanding female red for Liang to study first. Liang Xian also lived up to Lin Yuaner's hopes and was admitted to the top prize. However, the good times did not last long, and Liang was favored by the princess and was named the horse. Liang Xian had no choice but to abandon Lin Yuaner for fame and fortune, but Lin Yuaner could not wait for Liang to come back first, and finally heard that Liang had made a horse first. Discouraged, holding the mandarin duck buckle into the Luo River.
Hua Dan, who played Lin Yuaner on the stage, had a good face and excellent singing, and the affectionate, sad and desperate singing was so moving that Lin Jiabao could not help but shed tears.
After the play, Lin Jiabao specially called Hua Dan, who played Lin Yuaner, to come forward. When he saw that Hua Dan was also a double son, he immediately felt a little cordial. "you sing so well!" Lin Jiabao motioned to Shuqin behind him, and Shuqin came forward to give the Hua Dan a reward.
"Thank you for your reward!" The flower Dan took the heavy reward, was very grateful, knelt down and kowtowed.
Hua Dan returned to the troupe and several twins who had a good relationship with him came forward to surround him. "I heard that the person who went to the theatre today was his Royal Highness's favorite Lian Jun. Isn't he very beautiful? Oh, Shuanger is really worth it to do this to him! Come on, tell us about it. By the way, is there a reward for you? "
Another Gemini said, "Yes, apart from the poor peasant who can't get a wife, how can anyone marry Shuangzi?" The status of Gemini in the Xuanyuan Empire has always been very low. "I heard that the gentleman was born as a palace waiter. I hope he will always be loved by his Royal Highness, then the status of our twins will be raised a little bit."
"that side gentleman has a dusty temperament and is incomparably beautiful. Temperament is also very gentle, there is no noble shelf, may God bless him. You see. " Hua Dan opened the bag of gifts, which was full of silver fruits and dazzled their eyes.
"Wow!" After counting, there were more than thirty taels of silver, and everyone was very happy.
When Xuanyuan Hancheng came to pick up Guobao, he found that Guobao's eyes were red. Suddenly his face cooled and asked, "what's the matter, darling?" Have you cried? " Could it be that Gao Bao has been bullied and aggrieved?
"well, I saw a very touching play this afternoon. Yuaner is very pitiful. " Lin Jiabao told the content of the play for Xuanyuan Hancheng, talking about Liang Xian's unfaithfulness and Lin Yuaner's infatuation.
"silly, don't watch these tragedies next time, don't cry again." Xuanyuan Hancheng took Lin Jiabao's small hand and said in command. Xuanyuan Han admitted that he could not bear to shed tears for him, and how could he shed tears for other unimportant people and things. Precious tears are more precious than pearls in Xuanyuan Hancheng's heart.
"No." Lin Jiabao nodded obediently.
The wife of the magistrate stood aside and dared not interrupt at all. His Royal Highness was so overbearing!
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the wife of the magistrate. "Today, I am grateful to Mrs. Zhong for your hospitality.". "
"where, Lin Bian Jun can come to our house as a guest, which has already made our house glorious." The wife of the magistrate said hurriedly.
Out of the mansion, Xuanyuan Hancheng took Lin Jiabao to have dinner at the best restaurant in Los Angeles. Someone has long been waiting in the private room of the restaurant, and this person is Liu Zeqi.
"this is my former companion, Liu Zeqi, who is now the servant of the military Department." Xuanyuan Hancheng introduced to Lin Jiabao and said to Liu Zeqi, "this is your future master, and seeing him in the future is the same as seeing an orphan."
Liu Zeqi listened to his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, fixed his clothes and saluted solemnly. "greetings to Master Lin."
Lin Jiabao also replied, "Lord Liu is free."
Liu Zeqi finally met the man on the tip of the heart of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Lin Jiabao is very different from what he imagined, but it is undeniable that it is much better than he imagined.
During the dinner, Liu Zeqi relied on the time he came to Los Angeles for a long time, and Lin Jiabao listened with interest to the scenery and delicacies of Los Angeles. Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Gao Bao and Liu Zeqi chatting energetically, and gradually darkened his face.
"Gao Bao, eat quickly and take you to the night market after eating." Xuanyuan Hancheng personally picked up food for Jiabao.
"well. Delicious. " Lin Jiabao was eating delicious food and his eyes narrowed so cute.
Xuanyuan Hancheng gently wiped the sauce from his mouth for Guobao.
Today, Liu Zeqi saw his Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was completely different from the past. For a moment, he doubted whether his Royal Highness was pretending to be someone else. When did his Royal Highness treat a man so gently and carefully, his loving eyes made him numb. Liu Zeqi looked at Lin Jiabao with a little scrutiny, hoping that the forest side gentleman could afford to be spoiled by his Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After dinner, Xuanyuan Hancheng dismissed Liu Zeqi, and then took Guobao to the famous night market in Los Angeles. The guards behind Xuanyuan Hancheng all hid into the crowd in plain clothes, leaving only Yuanfu and Yuanqing to follow.
Xuanyuan Hancheng, holding Jiabao's small hand, strolled slowly in the night market. The night market is lively and crowded. Lin Jiabao held Xuanyuan Hancheng's hand tightly, and even when he was picking out gadgets, he wouldn't let go of his other hand.
A whole night market strolls down, Lin Jiabao is still not finished, behind Yuanqing has been holding large bags of small bags of things. However, Lin Jiabao was still a little tired. He saw a wonton stall on the road. "Let's go and have a bowl of wonton and have a rest."
Xuanyuan Hancheng naturally agreed with Guobao's decision, and it happened that there were no other guests in the stall, and it was fairly clean. Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao sat at a table. The others sat down around the table around them.
The owner of this wonton stall is a pair of middle-aged husbands. The middle-aged twins are responsible for packing wonton and cooking wonton, while the middle-aged man is responsible for running errands, entertaining guests and cleaning up dishes and chopsticks.
When the husband saw that his stall was all full at once, the middle-aged man hurriedly came forward and warmly greeted, "do several guest officials eat wonton?" They are all fresh today, including small wonton and big wonton, which are stuffed with cabbage and pork. "
After going to the night market and walking so far, the dinner had already been digested. Lin Jiabao thought about it and said, "Let's have a bowl of wonton for each of us." With that, he asked Xuanyuan Hancheng, and with his consent, Xuanyuan Hancheng certainly had no opinion.
As soon as the middle-aged man got the order, he immediately told his lover to cook wonton, and the person was also there to help, handing out a bowl of wonton for his lover. The two cooperated tacitly, and soon the wonton was cooked. Lin Jiabao was the first to taste that the soup was delicious and should have been boiled out of big bones. The wonton was very large and the seasoning was just right. Lin Jiabao ate a bowl of wonton one by one.
Xuanyuan Hancheng stared at the way Lin Jiabao ate wonton without blinking an eye.
Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by him. "the wonton is delicious, but it doesn't taste good when it's cold."
Xuanyuan Hancheng bowed his head and ate wonton. He was now satisfied with Guobao's good appetite. Guobao finally grew some meat and felt better.
Lin Jiabao and his party ate wonton and gave the middle-aged husband a silver spindle and got a great thanks from the husband.
Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao left holding hands. On the way, Lin Jiabao asked Xuanyuan Hancheng, "will we be like them in the future?"
"We will stay together for the rest of our lives." Xuanyuan Hancheng vowed that no matter what difficulties he had in this life, he would not let go. Lin Jiabao's hand was clasped by Xuanyuan Hancheng, and he just walked on like this. He really hoped that he could walk like this until the end of time.
Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao stayed in Los Angeles for a few days. After accompanying Jiabao to see the beauty of Los Angeles, they boarded a big ship and set sail to Huzhou first, and then to Jiangzhou, where they were going to visit.
This big ship is specially built for his Royal Highness to visit the Luo River Canal. The hull is very huge, with two stories high on the top and one layer on the bottom, which can hold thousands of people. The huge ship sailed in the wind on the Luo River, very smooth.
Lin Jiabao made a boat for the first time, and it was still such a huge boat, which was different from the feeling on land. Walking on the splint, Lin Jiabao felt that everything was very fresh when he looked at the rolling river.
After a two-day voyage, the ship landed in Huzhou. Similarly, there are already many officials waiting.
After a short stay in Huzhou for two days, Xuanyuan Hancheng inspected the unfinished embankment section of Huzhou, checked the speed of progress, and made some arrangements with Huzhou officials.
After that, he boarded the ship and set off for Jiangzhou. Three days later, he finally arrived in Jiangzhou. In Jiangzhou, I saw Dai Heng, the waiter of the Ministry of works, and Xuanyuan Hancheng saw the completed river embankment in Jiangzhou and praised Dai Heng. "with this river bank, the Luohe Peach Blossom season is no longer afraid."
Dai Heng was very excited when he received the praise of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Thank you for your appreciation. I couldn't have done this without your support. Next, his subordinates will continue to make efforts to supervise the completion of the embankment works in other river sections as soon as possible. "
"Lord Dai has done a great deal of hard work. If he goes back alone, he will ask for a reward for you in front of his father." Xuanyuan Hancheng said.
A few days later, Xuanyuan Hancheng finished his official business and began to take Lin Jiabao to enjoy the scenery of Jiangzhou. The canal in Jiangzhou is connected to the Luo River, with branches extending in all directions. The port is very busy, and there are shops on the shore, which are still very lively at night.
There are also several painted boats on the shore, from which the melodious sound of the piano is heard. Lin Jiabao listened to the praise. "these boats are so beautiful and the harps are so beautiful!"
Xuanyuan Han accepted that Guobao liked it and told Yuanfu around him, "go and pack a painting boat." Yuanqing said to one side, "that's a flower boat, isn't it?"
Lin Jiabao asked curiously, "Flower boat?" Is there a flower reward on board? "
Xuanyuan Hancheng was amused by Guobao's expression. "you'll know when you go and see it."
