After eating, the two of them accompanied Li Zihan to watch the sideshow she wanted to see.
Children are always interested in these lively programs. If they were asked to listen to a piece of music or a play, they would be unable to sit still as if they had a spike on their buttocks.
The juggling here at Tianen Temple is somewhat different from that in Wuchang Mansion.
The ones here are not as refined as those in the city, but they are obviously more wild and interesting.
Some people used secret medicine to drive snakes, insects, rats and ants to arrange words on the ground, and some trained dogs and monkeys. Finally, someone brought two horses up and danced to the sound of the soundtrack nearby, even the sound of horse hooves was on top of the drums. , it can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort in training, everyone was cheering and cheering, and Li Zihan was so happy that his little slap turned red.
After the juggling performance, Li Zihan immediately touched the purse around his waist.
Shen Tianshu looked at her warily, fearing that she would grab another handful of silver ingots and throw them on the stage.
Fortunately, although Li Zihan was young, he still learned the lesson from last time and understood the principle of not revealing wealth. This time, he asked the maid to change the copper plates early, grabbed a handful and threw it into the gong, making a ding. A tinkling sound.
"Thank you for the reward, sir!" the young man who came down to collect the reward shouted in a clear voice.
Fortunately, Li Zihan's hands were small, and he didn't have many copper coins in a full handful, so others glanced here and quickly looked away without attracting attention.
After leaving the vaudeville trap, Shen Tianshu asked: "What else does Zihan want to see?"
"I just want to watch the sideshow. I've already finished watching it. Whatever sister wants to see, I'll go with you."
Shen Tianshu was actually not very interested in these things. In his previous life, he didn't have much time to listen to music and books like other ladies, so he didn't know much about these things, so he had to look up at Li Zian for help.
Li Zian thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day. Someone should be talking about Tianhe Pairing in the Vashel tonight. How about we go join in the fun and celebrate the occasion?"
Although Li Zihan knew about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, he had not heard the story in full, so he immediately agreed.
In any case, listening to stories is more interesting than listening to those babbling songs.
In fact, storytellers who can gain a foothold in Vashene must have their own uniqueness.
Normally, I can read a storybook or tell a story, but every time during this seasonal period, I have to tell some legends that fit the occasion.
These things are established by convention. If you talk about them every year and listen to them every year, and you can still talk about them in a way that makes people want to listen to them and make them want to spend money, they must have some unique skills.
The three people came to the storyteller place and waited for a while. The scene inside just ended.
Many people came out of the hook bar one after another, most of them were young men and women, either alone or with children.
Thinking about it, older people are already old enough to tell this story to others, so why would they spend money to listen to it?
After all the people in the previous scene were gone, the three people walked inside.
The ticket Li Zian bought was the most expensive one, and it allowed him to pass through the building without any obstructions. No matter which fence he entered, he could go directly to the divine tower and sit in the best seat.
So as soon as he took out the ticket, the smile on the face of the waiter at the door immediately became brighter. He bowed and invited the three of them to come in, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, please come inside with your wife and young lady. The young lady will take you with me." The three of you go up to the divine tower.
"We have prepared the tea, fruit plate and pastries for you. Today you will bring your children to listen to Tianhe's preparation. You can buy a magpie lantern for only ten copper coins."
As the waiter said this, he pointed at the door. As expected, there were several magpie lanterns hanging on the left and right.
In order to attract business, this store has also put a lot of effort into making the magpie lanterns so lifelike that even Li Zihan could stare at them, let alone an ordinary child.
As soon as Shen Tianshu heard the clerk call her madam, she wanted to explain, but the clerk spoke too fast, and she just didn't get in the middle of the conversation.
After the waiter finished speaking in one breath, Li Zihan began to look at her eagerly, as if he knew who had the decision-making power on this matter.
Li Zian stood aside and smiled without saying a word, also waiting for Shen Tianshu's reaction.
While Shen Tianshu was hesitating, a couple with a child took the lead and gave them ten coins. The boy immediately took off a magpie lantern and put it in the child's hand.
After inviting the family of three in, the waiter turned back to look at Shen Tianshu and said, "Looking at the demeanor of the husband and his wife, they are not ordinary people. Naturally, they cannot care about these ten copper coins.
"I'll tell you the truth, my shopkeeper specially hired an experienced craftsman to make this magpie lamp. Look at the skeleton and the workmanship. It's not something that the vendors outside can compare to.
"Due to limited time and in order to make it exquisite, there are only twelve lamps in total.
“We already sold five bottles in the last show, and we just took another one away, and now half of it has been sold.
"Now there are only these six hangings. If you hesitate for a while longer, I'm afraid you won't even have a choice.
"If you don't believe it, just take a look outside. If someone else's magpie lantern is better than mine, I will refund you ten coppers immediately, including the ticket price."
I have to say that this guy is very talkative, and he looks like a businessman at first glance.
It didn’t matter whether Shen Tianshu believed it or not, but Li Zihan believed it.
She grabbed Shen Tianshu's hand, shook it slightly, and raised her little face to look at her eagerly, with desire beyond words.
Not only did Li Zian not help Shen Tianshu out of the siege, he also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "Okay, since the child likes it, and ten coppers are not expensive, we really can't let her pay for it from her pocket money."
When Li Zihan heard this, his mind was instantly opened, and he realized that he had money in his pocket and could buy it directly.
But after she counted ten copper coins, she felt something was wrong. After all, she didn't come with her parents. How could she buy it if she had money?
Thinking of this, she looked at Li Zian and Shen Tianshu doubtfully.
Shen Tianshu comforted himself in his mind, since she was wearing a curtain hat and no one knew her identity, so why spoil the child's happiness for such a trivial matter.
And she didn't know why. As long as Li Zihan looked at her with pitiful eyes, not to mention that she just wanted a magpie lantern, she wanted to pick out the stars and the moon and give it to her.
"Since you really like it, then buy one."
After hearing this, Li Zihan immediately cheered, handed the copper plate in his hand to the clerk, and jumped on Li Zi'an: "I'm going to pick out the magpie lantern."
Li Zian picked her up and went to the corridor to light the lamp.
Shen Tianshu subconsciously raised his head and stared at them, just in time to meet the eyes of Li Zian who looked back at her.
Li Zian smiled at her, looking as handsome as an immortal official descending to earth under the light.
