When the sedan stopped, Jiang Wan had already figured out a lot of things, so when someone untied the rope bag for him, he was as obedient as a harmless rabbit.
"Where is this place?" He looked around tremblingly and said somewhat suspiciously.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't need to know where this place is, you just need to know that you are here to tell stories for people!"
Wang Chengen looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, and his face was extremely gentle: "After that, I will send you out after receiving the reward. If there is a next time, I will send someone to pick you up!"
This is a small courtyard. If nothing else happens, this should be a guest house in the Tenth Prince's Mansion. Jiang Wan saw the surroundings clearly and turned around: "What are you talking about? To whom?"
"Of course, just say what I want you to say! As for who to tell it to, then don't ask!" Wang Chengen said with a smile: "However, it's best not to tell anyone else about your arrival here.
, No, noble people don’t like their affairs to be blinded by others!”
Wang Chengen looked at the other party and seemed a little confused when he saw him. However, after pondering for a moment, he nodded slowly, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Okay, sir, take a rest and have some refreshments!" Wang Chengen walked towards the outside. Suddenly he remembered something, stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, sir, it's best not to leave this yard!"
Wang Chengen, said to be from Hebei Province, entered the palace at an early age and was assigned to serve Zhu Youjian. In the history of the world that Jiang Wan knew, the name Wang Chengen also had a place in the history of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. In the "King of Chongzhen"
When he died in Sheji, he was the only person beside Chongzhen who accompanied him to death.
Not to mention this person's ability, his loyalty to Chongzhen should be without any impurities.
The only thing Jiang Wan is not sure about now is whether it was Zhu Youjian's intention to kidnap her, or was it Wang Chengen's own idea?
The courtyard was quiet, as if there was no one. Jiang Wan was looking forward to the refreshments that Wang Chengen mentioned. Unfortunately, he waited for almost half an hour before he was sure that this was just a kind word from Wang Chengen.
That's all.
There seemed to be someone guarding the entrance to the courtyard, or there might not be anyone there. However, Jiang Wan had no intention of verifying this. So what if he left the courtyard? How could the Tenth Prince's Palace allow a stranger to wander around blindly?
He sat down and decided to think about how he would face Zhu Youjian then. Even if the plagiarized and edited version of "The Condor Heroes" could arouse Zhu Youjian's interest for a while, it might not be possible.
Keep him interested.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian had to shift his interest from the content of the storyteller to him as the storyteller.
Time passed little by little, and the room gradually became dark. A little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walked in from outside the yard, walked into the house with a familiar face, and turned on the lights in the house.
"ah!"
Under the light, a man's voice suddenly appeared. The little girl was caught off guard and screamed in fright.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" The little girl's voice was trembling.
"Of course I am a human being!" Jiang Wan forced a smile and stood up: "Look, I have a shadow, so of course I am a human being!"
"It scared me to death!" The little girl patted her chest: "The black man sitting here didn't say anything. I thought it was haunted! Who are you and why are you here?"
"When you came in, didn't the person guarding outside tell you who I was?" Jiang Wan pointed outside: "I am a storyteller, and a steward named Wang asked me to stay here, but it seems that no one is here today.
You have to listen to what I have to say!"
"No one is guarding you. The manager Wang you are talking about is Eunuch Wang! He is in charge of our building!" The little girl's eyes widened: "Eunuch Wang has to serve the prince, and there are so many things to do, he will definitely forget you.
Oh, oh, it’s broken. I don’t know if Eunuch Wang told Sister Fuyao to bring someone back today. It’s already here now, and we haven’t arranged for your food and accommodation. I’m afraid you’re going to be hungry tonight!”
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Wan interrupted the little girl's talk: "Who is Sister Fuyao and what is this place?"
"This is Tingyunxuan. Of course Sister Fuyao is in charge of Tingyunxuan!" The little girl laughed happily: "All the musicians, dancers, and singers in the palace are under the charge of Sister Fuyao. Are you the one in charge?
The storyteller was sent here, and of course he is under the control of Sister Fuyao!"
Wang Chengen is so irresponsible!
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes when she heard this. She tied herself here just to please your master, but what if she forgot about herself as soon as she went out? Also, from the tone of this little girl, this
Tingyunxuan is the entertainment center of the Tenth Prince's Mansion. If I am thrown here and forgotten, does this mean I automatically become a member of Tingyunxuan?
"What's wrong, you rolled your eyes, are you hungry?" The little girl was very concerned about Jiang Wan: "If you are really hungry, just drink more water. This is what I did when I was hungry before!"
"No!" Jiang Wan said weakly: "Where is Sister Fuyao? Can you take me to see her?"
"Follow me!" The little girl nodded: "Thank you for meeting me, otherwise, no one would know you are here. In our inner garden, people from the outer garden are not allowed to come in on weekdays, and no one dares to come in.
, the sisters all live in the inner garden..."
The little girl talked a lot. As she spoke, she led Jiang Wan outside. Jiang Wan followed him and walked out of the courtyard. He glanced left and right and couldn't help but roll his eyes again - at the entrance of the courtyard.
Wherever there are guards, there are no ghosts.
He was brought in in a sedan with his head covered. Naturally, he didn't know how to go. However, even if he knew how to go, he would not think about escaping or anything. He finally entered the ten princes' palaces and had the opportunity to interact with them.
When Zhu Youjian met, he went crazy and tried his best to escape.
In short, from the moment he was tied to the sedan chair, Jiang Wan felt that the matter he had planned began to change his tricks. In short, it did not develop according to his script.
The promised admiration and admiration turned into kidnapping; and he racked his brains all afternoon, preparing to show his hands to shock Zhu Youjian, but in the end, he was forgotten.
However, since his purpose is to get close to Zhu Youjian, it seems that this result is not a bad thing at the moment. It is better to be forgotten than to be sent out again with his head covered! If that is the case, I will be alone this afternoon.
It's all in vain again.
"It's right in front!" After going around a few turns and passing through a few doors, the little girl stood still and pointed to the light in front: "You wait here, I'll report to Sister Fuyao. By the way, you
What's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Wan, what's yours?"
"Sisters all call me Xiaojiu, Jiang Wan, please call me Xiaojiu too!"
