The heavy rain seemed to have stopped somewhat, but it was still raining sparsely, as if the mother couldn't urinate properly.
The red walls of the deep palace have been dyed through, and the stone slabs are always covered with a layer of water, like a mirror.
Suddenly, the silent mirror rippled slightly.
A group of awkward shadows jumped up on the water.
If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a group of ducks floating feebly in the water.
Get closer, and it looks like a dog with its tail between its legs just out of fear.
When I got really close, I was shocked to find that it was actually a group of people.
~~
A group of actors, with their heads lowered and their backs bent, as if there were landmines under their feet, cautiously followed a young eunuch.
Although today's Ming Dynasty has exempted actors from the low status, they are still at the bottom of the class.
This Forbidden City is a place they never dared to dream of.
Looking at it from a distance is blasphemy. I never thought that one day, I would be called into the palace to perform for the princess...
"What are you looking at? Look down!
Suddenly, a sharp rebuke made the humble walking crowd tremble violently.
There was a clang, which was because a musician lost his virginity due to fear, causing the food in his hand to fall to the ground.
The leader of the Double Happiness class looked up and saw two eunuchs standing under the corridor at the corner in front, with their chins held high and arrogant expressions. The one on the left was older, and the one on the right was younger.
The old eunuch's eyes were full of scrutiny, while the young eunuch's eyes were full of contempt.
"Kneel down quickly!" The little eunuch who led the way hurriedly whispered to the leader of Double Happiness, "This is Manager Chen of the Spring Harmony Palace in the inner court!"
"sky!"
The leader of the Double Happiness troupe exclaimed in his heart. Although he was the leader of a theater troupe, he also knew that Chunhe Palace was where the prince lived, and the chief manager of Chunhe Palace was the prince's personal eunuch.
"Young man, I have seen Mr. Chen..." The head teacher of the Double Happiness Class knelt down on the water-filled ground and said urgently to the people around him, "Hurry up and kowtow to Mr. Chen..."
In an instant, he knelt down and screamed.
~~
Chen Bui slowly came out of the corridor, and the young eunuch following behind him quietly opened an umbrella.
"You..." Chen Bui narrowed his eyes and looked at a young man in the troupe.
"Xiao Xiao Xiao..." The young man was too frightened to speak. He just looked up tremblingly.
"Still looking!" Wang Buzhen, the young eunuch behind Chen Bu, said angrily, "Is this a place you can look at casually? Ah, where are you looking?"
"Villain... villain..."
The young man never imagined that just by inadvertently raising his head and looking around while walking, he would cause trouble.
He looked helplessly at his class teacher, then widened his eyes as if looking for hope...
"Still looking?" Wang Buzhu stared, then turned around and said, "Here comes someone!"
Not far away, eight strong eunuchs appeared under the eaves of the corridor almost at the same time, with evil expressions on their faces.
"Eunuch, have mercy on me! Eunuch, have mercy on me!" The leader of the Double Happiness class kowtowed hurriedly and shouted, "Before entering the palace, I told them not to look around, but country children have never seen the world..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Buzhen gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Who told you to be so loud?"
"Little...?" The leader of Double Happiness was suddenly stunned.
"Where is this? The palace!" Wang Buluzhen looked at the lamb-like actors in front of him, "You can't raise your head if I don't ask you to, and you can't speak if I don't ask you to speak! Are you allowed to look around in the palace?
Um?"
"Boom!"
The leader of Double Happiness and the actors did not dare to speak out, so they could only kowtow.
"Rules are just rules!" Wang Buzhen snorted coldly, then immediately turned slightly sideways, bowed his waist and said to Chen Bui, "Master, the people in this team don't know the rules very well, how about... another one?"
"Don't..." The word "Don't..." came to his lips but was forced back by the leader of Double Happiness.
It is their honor to enter the palace and perform for the royal family.
As long as the news of today is spread, their Double Happiness Class will double in value and become the leaders of the police drama company, trampling on others.
But if they are kicked out of the palace before the performance and are accused of being unruly, their jobs will be completely ruined!
Chen Bui was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Forget it! Send someone to keep an eye on them, otherwise there will be trouble elsewhere!" As he said that, he turned back and looked at the imperial garden in the distance, "Princess Qiantose has been talking to the emperor for a long time, so let's change people now.
It’s too late!”
"The disciple will go and watch it personally later!" Wang Buzhen said, turning to look at the people in the Double Happiness Class, and immediately straightened his back again, with a cold face, "You are lucky!"
"Thank you two gentlemen..."
As soon as the leader of Double Happiness opened his mouth, he saw something wrong in Wang Buzhu's eyes, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Thank you, Manager Chen, for taking care of the little ones! Thank you, Manager Chen, for giving us food..."
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked, because he clearly saw Manager Chen's eyes were filled with confusion, and his face was filled with anger.
"Slap your mouth!" Wang Buzhen turned around and said angrily.
"Small....."
Before the leader of Double Happiness could speak, four eunuchs came forward. Two of them directly grabbed his arms and pressed his waist with their feet. One eunuch pulled his hair from behind.
The last eunuch raised his arm, bang!
The crisp sound made the water on the ground tremble. The moment the slap fell, everyone in the Double Happiness Class closed their eyes and did not dare to look again.
Snapped!
Again!
The Double Happiness leader's eyes were filled with stars, and he felt like blood was constantly overflowing from his nostrils and ears...
He knew that he must have said the wrong thing, but he didn't know where he was wrong!
"The Zajia asked you, why did you come to the palace?" Wang Buzhen asked with his chin raised.
Half of the Double Happiness leader's face was swollen and his voice sounded hoarse, "Singing for the princess..."
"Slap your mouth!" Wang Buzhen said again.
Snapped!
As the eunuch's arm fell, a stream of blood spurted onto the wet stone slab, a blood-red mess.
"Tell me, what are you doing in the palace?" Wang Buzhen asked again.
"To the princess... no..." The leader of the Double Happiness class seemed to understand, and said quickly, "The villain's ancestors have accumulated good deeds, and let the villain have the good fortune to enter the palace today to give it to the emperor and the princess..."
"Hit me hard!" Wang Buzhen said angrily.
The beating eunuch flipped his wrist, and a palm-sized board fell into his sleeve and was aimed at the face of the leader of Double Happiness...
Snapped!
then....
Poof...like the sound of pebbles falling into water.
But it was not a stone. A slightly yellowed tooth stumbled and rolled on the stone slab on the ground, and then fell into the drainage ditch...
"Tell me, what are you doing in the palace?" Wang Buzhen continued to ask slowly.
The Double Happiness leader's face was covered in blood and his vision was blurry, but at this time he was unusually clear-headed.
He said loudly, "The villain will enter the palace and sing for the emperor, the prince, and the princess..."
"It's just a human being..." Wang Buzhen smiled slightly.
"okay!"
Chen BuZhen asked Wang BuZhen to change clothes at the beginning, and Wang BuZhen immediately bowed and turned around, listening seriously.
"Go in, the prince and princess are waiting!"
"Yes! Disciple, take them in right now!" Wang Buzhen agreed, waving to the Shuangxi team leader who was already as slim as mud, "Come with the Za family!"
~~
Wang Buzhen walked forward with his head held high.
The leader of Double Happiness is behind, like a walking shrimp.
"Do you know why I beat you?" Wang Buzhen asked as he walked.
"It's the villain who forgot the rules..." The leader of Double Happiness was slurring his words. He endured the severe pain on his face and kept wiping the blood on his face with his sleeves.
The blood in front of me was stuck to my sleeves, and I felt like crying without tears.
just in case...
If a nobleman sees blood on his clothes, will it be more than just a big mouth?
"Yeah!" At this moment, Wang Buzhen was seen slowing down and looking back at him.
"Please show mercy and let me wash my face..." the class leader begged.
Wang Buzhen looked at him and narrowed his eyes again, "You say it again...?"
"Father!" The class leader stepped forward and with a swish of his arm, two banknotes were stuffed into Wang Buzhen's belt.
Both tickets are worth one hundred silver dollars!
"Well! It's time to wash your face, it's an eyesore!" Wang said with a smile, "You still look like a human being, I'll take pity on you!"
