Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 260 No Gentleman Does Not Raise Artists

Once a person who rarely gets angry gets angry, the effect is absolutely astonishing, just like Li Goudan now.

Although he was injured and still lying on the bed, and he didn't even speak loudly, it scared Li Wangshi so much that his face turned pale.

"Husband, I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

Although the Li Wang family came from the Taiyuan Wang family and belonged to a famous family, she knew very well that these were just appearances, and the Taiyuan Wang family was already on the decline.

Her father, Wang Ze, was originally a small official of the sixth rank, but because she married Li Goudan, Wang Ze became Siping's Shangshu Zuo Cheng, and jumped a few ranks directly.

And because Li Goudan became the governor of Jinzhou at a young age, the Wang family was also very optimistic about this marriage. Her father wrote to her several times, telling her to be a good wife.

Therefore, Li Wang was really afraid that Li Goudan would alienate her from now on, and even more afraid that Li Goudan would drive her back to Taiyuan with a letter of divorce.

Looking at the pitiful Wang family kneeling on the ground, Li Goudan immediately sighed.

"Oh, don't cry, you get up first!"

"Thank you husband!"

After Li Wang got up, he helped Li Goudan pull the quilt, but Li Goudan grabbed her hand and shook his head at her.

"Sit aside first and listen to me."

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Goudan's words, Li Wang immediately knelt down on the Hu bed obediently, straightened her body, and put her hands on her knees.

Seeing her dignified appearance, Li Goudan suddenly smiled, and then nodded.

"As expected of a daughter educated by a big family, every move is pleasing to the eye, but Yun'er, I am different from you."

Having said that, Li Goudan suddenly let out a long breath, and there was a trace of memory in his eyes.

"I used to be just a worthless person in Chang'an City. Not only did my neighbors look down on me, maybe I even looked down on myself. At that time, I was a gambler. I cheated money when I had no money. Until one day I cheated." On the head of His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Then, Li Goudan told Li Wangshi how he and Gao Ming met, and Li Wangshi also listened with relish.

Li Goudan talked for nearly half an hour before he finished his acquaintance with Gao Ming. Seeing Li Wangshi's unfinished expression, Li Goudan immediately smiled.

"If I hadn't met His Highness the Crown Prince at that time, perhaps I would have died in a prison, or had been exiled somewhere, so without His Royal Highness, I would not be who I am today. Your kindness cannot be expressed in one or two sentences.”

Speaking of this, Li Goudan immediately showed a self-deprecating smile.

"You just said that His Royal Highness even takes care of Huzi's private affairs. In fact, I was just another Huzi back then. At least Huzi still had the bravery to defeat a hundred with one enemy. At that time, I had nothing..."

Hearing Li Goudan's words, Li Wang's tears flowed out again, she threw herself into Li Goudan's arms, and shook her head desperately.

"No, in my eyes, my husband is the best. Your heart is better than anyone else. I really have to thank God for marrying you... No, I have to thank His Royal Highness, and I will never marry you again. I won’t talk about His Highness the Crown Prince indiscriminately, huh...husband, why are you crying too?”

Seeing Li Wang's puzzled expression, Li Goudan immediately gritted his teeth, his face full of pain.

"Miss, you crushed me, hiss...my bones are broken again..."

"Oh... I'm sorry Mr. Lang, come quickly!"

……

Because of the second injury, Li Goudan's house was once again in chaos, but this was no longer Gao Ming's business. At this time, he had brought Hu Zi and Ben Ben to the streets of Jinzhou City.

In order to prevent Benben from scaring others, Gao Ming specially found a rope to tie it up, and then led him along the street.

Others were walking their dogs, but Gao Ming was walking a tiger. When he got to the street, he attracted many people's attention, but because they were afraid of running around, they immediately backed away a few steps when they saw Gao Ming coming.

However, some people recognized Gao Ming and shouted from afar.

"His Royal Highness, that is His Royal Highness!"

"Meet Your Royal Highness!"

"Long live His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing the shouts around him, Gao Ming immediately showed a wry smile all the way.

"To be recognized so quickly, it seems that I am also an idol!"

But soon, Gao Ming found that many people had already knelt down towards him, and he couldn't care less about emotion, he hurriedly pulled up and ran, seeing Gao Ming running, Hu Zi hurriedly followed.

When Gao Ming got into a small alley with no one there, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Huh... I finally got rid of them. It turns out that being a star is not easy."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming glanced at Hu Zi again, only to find that he showed a dazed face, and then Gao Ming remembered that there were no celebrities in Datang, only entertainers.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yesterday, I seem to have heard from the maids of the Governor's Mansion that there are many jugglers in the south of Jinzhou City. Why don't you go and see them!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming nodded towards Hu Zi.

"Huzi, go outside and buy me a big bamboo hat. I'll wait for you here, hurry up!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hu Zi firmly shook his head.

"No, if I leave, there will be no one to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

"..."

Seeing his serious face, Gao Ming had no choice but to stare at him, then covered his face with his big sleeve and went out, found a stall for buying bamboo hats, bought a big bamboo hat and put it on his head.

"No one should recognize me now, right? It's a pity that I don't have sunglasses, or it would be much easier."

While muttering, Gao Ming led the tiger along the streets of Jinzhou City to the south.

Although the prosperity of Jinzhou City is not as prosperous as that of Chang'an and Luoyang, it is still much stronger than ordinary cities. Although it is not a festival at this time, the streets of Jinzhou City are full of people, which is very lively.

Along the way, Gao Ming saw shops lined up everywhere, and there were many small stalls selling their wares along the street.

"Candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws!"

"Selling Hubing, big and delicious Hubing!"

"Pears! Pears!"

After walking for about a cup of tea, Gao Ming and Hu Zi arrived at the south side of Jinzhou City. Although there are fewer shops and vendors here, the bustling places are no less than those in the north of the city.

There are cockfighters, sword dancers, horse trainers, and all kinds of jugglers, which arouse applause from the onlookers from time to time.

Gao Ming also became interested, and watched them one by one.

There is nothing unusual about cockfighting and sword fighting, it's nothing more than watching the fun, but Gao Ming is a little amazed by those juggling, such as rope skills.

The performers of rope skills tied the rope to the two wheels of the car, stretched the rope straight, and the people rolled and jumped on the rope, making all kinds of difficult movements. .

"There are no protective measures, what if something happens?"

But luckily, what Gao Ming was worried about didn't happen. The girl who performed the rope skill got off the rope unscathed after the performance. Apart from some sweat on her forehead, there was nothing wrong with it.

At this time, Gao Ming's shout was also the loudest.

"Good! Great!"

His shout also attracted many people, and everyone cheered for the artists performing rope skills, but when the little girl came to ask for a reward with a small bamboo shauji, many people pretended not to see .

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming sighed suddenly, then took out his purse, grabbed a handful of broken silver, and threw it directly into the little girl's bamboo dustpan.

"Come on, this is your reward!"

Looking at the handful of broken silver in the Shau Kei, the little girl was stunned. She picked up a piece of broken silver and bit it, a shocked expression immediately appeared on her face.

"This...is this true?"

As she spoke, she turned her head and yelled at the man behind her.

"Father, come quickly, someone has rewarded us with a lot of money!"

"what?"

Hearing her words, her father came over immediately, and when he saw the broken silver in the Shau Kei, he was also shocked.

"Which benefactor rewarded it?"

"Yes……"

The little girl raised her head immediately, but after looking around, she didn't find Gao Ming's figure, so she frowned immediately.

"It's the uncle wearing the bamboo hat and leading the tiger just now, why is it missing?"

Hearing her words, her father nodded immediately.

"It turned out to be him. I thought he was a tiger tamer before, but now that I think about it, he shouldn't be running around in the rivers and lakes based on his clothes. Girl, we have met a noble person. Let's go, we closed the stall today, and dad will take you to eat." Done."

"Hee hee, thank you dad!"

When the father and daughter closed the stall happily, Gao Ming had already come to another juggling stall.

The show at this stall was an illusion. When Gao Ming came, two people in the arena were performing sword swallowing and fire breathing.

When watching the sword swallowing, Gao Ming sweated again for the performer, he really couldn't figure out how such a long sword was swallowed, and when the other party performed the fire breathing, Gao Ming stared straight at it.

Single-shot fire, continuous fire, turn-over fire, one-stop, mushroom cloud fire... It's too brilliant to watch.

"Damn it, this is Huo Dun, are you sent by the Uchiha family?"

When the other party brought Shau Kei to ask for reward money, Gao Ming happily took out a handful of broken silver and rewarded them, and then he took Huzi back to the Governor's Mansion contentedly.

While walking on the road, Huzi couldn't help asking.

"His Royal Highness, so many people were watching for nothing at that time, why do we have to give money?"

Hearing Huzi's words, Gao Ming stopped immediately, then turned to look at Huzi.

"Huzi, the performances of artists include their labor and sweat, and what they do is nothing more than a meal. No gentleman does not support artists. If we don't pay them, they will have nothing to eat. Who Are you going to perform for us?"

Having said that, Gao Ming smiled at Huzi.

"And I am a gentleman."
