Twenty-two, be a happy person(1/2)
Caiwei Pavilion.
At this time, it is about to be Mao, and it is not yet time for men and women to be happy.
Most of the early guests sat in the main hall on the first floor and drank wine and tea.
In the past, there should be singing, dancing, silk and bamboo to cheer up, but today, only Liu Changqing, alone on the high platform, telling vividly:
"... The eldest daughter's name is Zhenzhen, who is twenty years old this year; the second daughter's name is Aiai, who is eighteen years old this year; the third little daughter's name is Lianlian..."
Under the high platform, the guests were all listening in a slanted manner.
Recently, the most popular thing in Tongshan County is "Journey to the West".
As a pioneer in the "storytelling world", Liu Changqing became a popular rooster who was rushing to invite teahouses, wine shops and brothels because of his good voice.
In the end, Caiwei Pavilion, who was rich and powerful, invited Liu Changqing to be a full-time storyteller.
At the third table of Zhengtang, Yang Zhen and Wu Kui were confused since they sat down.
There are all the bells and swallows, and the fat and goose are thin, either in a well-behaved or cold manner, some are in the arms of the guests, and some are sitting on the guests' thighs.
In summer, the clothes are thin and the gauze is thin, and the delicate skin and lights are faintly reflected, and the faint fragrance floats...
Unfortunately, all this belongs to someone else.
In their table, except for a stack of fennel beans, there was only a pot of light wine, and there was also a eldest son Yao who was lying on beans.
"Bird son, I'm the one who drinks these fennel beans! Eat slowly and give me some left!" Zhang Bao took a sip of the wine, and saw that there was only half a plate of fennel beans left in a blink of an eye, and said with a distressed feeling.
The fennel beans cost only a few cents outside, but they are sold here for hundreds of cents.
But both Zhang Bao and Yang Zhen felt it was natural.
Is it expensive? This is Caiwei Pavilion! Not only is there a sister wearing a gauze dress twisting her butt, but Mr. Liu also talks about it on the stage to relieve her boredom.
If anyone says it is expensive, it must be that he has never seen the world, has no taste, has no cultivation, has no quality, and has no qualities!
Yang Zhen, possessed by a maniac, grinned for a long time, suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Bao with a flattering smile on his face: "Brother, I want..."
"You'd better stop thinking... The money on the family is only enough to buy this pot of wine and fennel beans." Before Yang Zhen could say what he was thinking, Zhang Bao said cruelly.
"Brother, we're here. At least you ask your two sisters to accompany us, so that we can see the world!"
"The Sa family really has no money!"
"Where are the private money you hid?"
"Who has hidden the private money? Who has hidden the private money? How can Dalang betray people's innocence out of thin air!" Zhang Bao seemed to have been stepped on his tail and denied it repeatedly.
Seeing that he could not afford to spend a penny, Yang Zhen changed his target tactfully, and then looked at Chen Chu gently.
Where is the "public funds" for selling peaches today?
Chen Chu was "hehe" in the male god style, and his expression seemed to be saying: You want to eat nothing...
It’s fun but not nice to have sex with public funds!
After returning to the mountain, you will not be scolded to death by Yang Youtian’s uncles.
Besides, Chen Chu is a modest gentleman who is upright and honest. Today, he has to come to this fireworks place just for work.
‘Seeking the tramp for business’... What a great sacrifice did Chen Xiaolang make for the construction of the village of fleeing households and economic prosperity!
On the stage, after Liu Changqing finished speaking "The Four Saints Testing Zen Heart", the audience was still feeling a little unfulfilled.
However, everyone has heard from Mr. Liu that this strange book was written by his master. Only after Mr. Liu's master made a new chapter will he have a follow-up to talk about.
"The guests at Jiaqi table are rewarded."
Below, a servant in green shouted loudly.
Liu Changqing hurriedly walked towards the guests on the table of Jiaqi.
At the main seat of Jiaqi, a man in his thirties was sitting, wearing a man in his thirties and a brocade robe with money patterns. He looked like a rich man at a glance.
Looking closer, the man's face was dark, his face was bearded, and his eagle eyes were occasionally exposed.
As the companion who accompanied him was given a reward, Liu Changqing took it and said with a respect: "Thank you, Master Ximen, to reward him."
The Ximen official seemed to be immersed in the story, and after a long time he sighed, "A real man was born in the world, just like this Dasheng Sun! No matter whether he is the underground Yama or the Jade Emperor in the sky, when encountering unfair things, he swung his baton and smashed the Lingxiao Bird Palace..."
Liu Changqing was about to answer the conversation, but he heard the servant shouting: "Prefer to the guests on the table of B three."
"Sir Ximen, I'll go and thank you first, and then talk to the Sir." Liu Changqing hurriedly said.
"It's okay, Mr. Liu will do it at your own discretion."
Liu Changqing bowed again and then turned to the table B3.
When he approached, he saw a young man looking at him with a smile. Liu Changqing couldn't help but say surprise: "Ah! Master, why are you here?"
"Changqing, there is no need to be like this..."
"Mr., you taught your disciple "Journey to the West" to give him a livelihood. The ancients said: Masters are not noble or cheap, no little or long..."
......
The second floor of Caiwei Pavilion, Tianzijie Room.
After the rear window opens, the main hall on the first floor is completely visible.
Cai Kun, the second son of the Cai family, wore a long moon-white gown, and tilted his folding fan. He looked at Liu Changqing who was walking between the tables downstairs to express his appreciation. He shook his head and said, "This writer is so unhappy, and the listener is not happy, and he feels so uncomfortable."
"Second brother, I recommend Mr. Liu to come here to tell a story. You can only hear the good story?" Cai Sanniang, who was sitting at the table, pouted and dried the ink marks on the rice paper, which were full of fly-headed calligraphy. It was exactly the content of the new chapter that Liu Changqing had just said.
"Oh?" Cai Kun turned around, looked at his sister with a smile, "Didn'er say that Xiantao with the word "六子?"
"Well, this "Journey to the West" is really exciting, but immediately afterwards, there are fairy peaches sold in our city. If it is a coincidence, I don't believe it."
Cai Wu stood up and carefully put away the rice paper, and stood in front of the window with his brother. His fox eyes moved with Liu Changqing's steps, and suddenly he exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Cai Kun said strangely.
Cai Wu stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to a table in the corner of the downstairs, saying, "Where do you look?"
Downstairs, Liu Changqing looked surprised and bowed to a young man who looked only a teenager.
"How could Wuer know these people?" Cai Kun said strangely.
"Here~" Cai Hua picked his chin and said, "That handsome little man is the one who pawnshop to avoid water and wind in our pawn shop."
"Oh..." Cai Kun saw Chen Chu at a glance.
Because next to that table, he is the only one who can be called "beautiful face"...
It’s not Chen Chushuai’s scumbag, but the others are tall, short, and black.
With these crooked and crooked jujubes, Chen Xiaolang has been promoted from a handsome guy to a handsome guy......
Then, the Cai brothers and sisters saw the scene of Liu Changqing recognizing his master. Cai Wu couldn't help but open his eyes and exclaimed: "This "Journey to the West" was actually written by him!"
Cai Kun looked at Chen Chu with interest, then closed the folding fan and tapped his palm with a 'swish', and said to himself: "The fugitives are all thick, when will a young gentleman who can write books be released?"
"Is he a fugitive?" Cai Wu said in surprise.
......
In the main hall, there were many people who saw Mr. Liu recognize his master.
For a moment, several funners wanted to come over and have some talk.
But just now, the Ximen official stood up first, and the companions followed one after another, causing a sound of seat displacement.
Official Ximen looked back and seemed to think the situation was too big, so he made a push-down gesture casually, and the companions sat back together.
It has a bit of a ban on orders.
"Captain Zhang, come and have a drink too?" Ximen official greeted Zhang Bao first after approaching.
"Ximen Ai Si, what a coincidence." Zhang Bao stood up and folded his fists. Seeing that the other party was interested in talking, he hurriedly added two chairs.
However, Liu Changqing held the disciple's etiquette and stood beside Chen Chu, saying that he was "the master and apprentice were different seats" and refused to sit down.
After the Ximen official sat down, he went straight to the topic: "Mr. Liu, I just saw you calling this young gentleman a mentor. Could it be that "The Biography of Journey to the West" was written by this young gentleman?"
Chen Chu didn't even sign the chapters of Liu Changqing, and Liu Changqing thought his mentor would not want to expose the matter.
After all, in the eyes of serious scholars, writing a storybook or novel is not a good job.
Liu Changqing couldn't help but regret his reckless behavior of "recognizing his master" just now, so he could only look at Chen Chu.
"The act of the joke made the high-ranking officials laugh." Chen Chu admitted it with shameless face.
"What a masterpiece!" Ximen official got excited when he heard this.
Seeing Chen Chu’s table of five men, but there was only a plate of fennel beans and no one was serving him, he raised his hand to call the brothel and said generously: “Mom Qin, arrange a few fine dishes, move a jar of Tangzhouchun, and call a few girls to settle the account.”
Wu Kui, who was sneaking around the girl on the next table, suddenly stiffened when he heard this.
Then, he quickly sorted out his clothes and sat upright...
Yang Zhen, who was crying and shouting to look for his sister just now, became nervous instantly.
It was still a man, Yao's eldest son, who had seen the world. He heard that his sister would come here soon and quickly put the few fennel beans left in the plate into his mouth, as if those sisters came here just to grab beans from him...
To be continued...
