Preface Chapter 136 Storyteller
At this time, all the antiques began to come alive, the drunken Bodhisattva simply lay on the ground, snoring, the old man who fished lifted a lively fish out of the water, the flowers in the hands of the faithful girl began to bloom, a horse began to gallop and neighed in the glass case, the girl in the ancient painting began to dance, the poet was reciting, the general was killing the enemy, the ordinary market began to shout, and even some cups and drinking utensils without shape, Tea sets and the like also began to move restlessly, and they overflowed from the inside, slowly wading through the glass case, and even drowning the people in the same display case into a panic......
At this moment, a gust of wind blew out of nowhere, and many "people" shivered and shivered involuntarily.
A bodhisattva holding a willow branch next to him yawned and whispered to everyone, "Don't make trouble!"
Everyone's eyes looked at the stage in front of the shop, and even the cups and utensils seemed to have eyes, squeezing and muttering forward.
I saw that in the center of the stage, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, and a figure appeared in the light, and in front of him, a three-foot podium was being placed.
The man was dressed in a long coat, with a folding fan in his hand, and the other hand slapped the shocking wood, waved his hand, and returned to a proper posture.
"It is said that there is a Xiaosheng surnamed Song, sick and bedridden at home, suddenly one day, an official invited him to take the exam, this person took the sick to the battle, arrived at a city, and began to answer questions in front of the examiner, Song Gong's article has such a sentence 'There is a heart for good, although good is not rewarded, no intention for evil, although evil is not punished', greatly praised......"
On the stage, he was talking about the first volume of the story of Zhai Zhi and Evil - Kao Chenghuang, and when it came to surprise, he often adjusted his tone to make people more infected, and sat down to applaud.
In the entire lobby, many people began to appear one after another, including officials and gentry, generals and attendants, and people in the market...... They enjoy each other and do not have any fear or intimidation because of who they are.
Some of them applauded, some drank heavily, some shouted "Sir!" and some of the servants kept shuttling through the lobby, and the whole scene was in full swing.
When a story was finished, all the lights on the stage were turned on, and everyone could see the storyteller's face clearly, he lifted his long coat, went to the chair prepared for him next to him, picked up the tea, blew lightly and began to eat tea, that greedy look, as if eating some kind of fine mountain and sea delicacies.
Welcome to the Late Night Storyteller!
Contrary to the lively atmosphere in the shop, outside the shop, everything is quiet, solemn and peaceful, and the occasional barking of a dog is enough to make a person who sleeps.
The two big red lanterns in front of the gate were lit until four o'clock in the morning, when they went out on time as if they were equipped with a light switch.
Early the next morning, the three of them packed up early and went out, and Chen Mu specially wore a mask so as not to scare the guests.
The cause of the injury on his face has not been investigated, Chen Mu did not go to the hospital, this little thing will not affect his life, I don't know if he is dazzled or what's going on, every day when he looks in the mirror, he feels that the injury is getting better a little bit, which also makes him not worry too much.
Although I can't explain it myself, even if there is something, it is useless to be anxious.
Chen Mu took out the wooden box, handed it to Lili, and asked her to arrange a place to put it in the display case, the display case containing antiques was not full of things, and there were some spare things, waiting for the things collected later to be put in.
Lili walked to a glass case to the right of the door, unlocked it, put it in, and locked it.
I don't know why, in the meantime, those antique objects that had been quietly presumptuous last night all showed meaningful expressions when they looked at the wooden box, and the naughty doll was even surprised that the pit of the fruit he had eaten last night fell from the place where it was hidden to the ground, and he quickly moved his foot behind the clay figurine. When the terracotta figurines saw it, they frowned, but immediately returned to their original state.
Chen Mu felt something moving behind him, but when he turned around, he didn't see anything.
The thousand-year-old terracotta figurines maintain a fixed posture, the doll is smiling, everything is normal, it should be that I feel that something is wrong.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost nine o'clock, and they should be there soon. ”
"We're ready to prepare. ”
"Hmm. ”
As he spoke, the two began to go in to make tea, and put some teacups on the table to wait for the guests.
The guy hired in the store has not yet come to report, so the couple will do it themselves, so as not to receive people when they come.
After a while, the teapot whined, and there was a commotion at the door, and a group of people in costumes appeared in the store.
Lili is looking for the opening guest, is the dragon and lion group, she said that such a lively, but also in line with the tradition, the purpose of the opening, the purpose is to tell nearby friends that a new store has opened here, there is money to hold a money field, no money to hold a personal field, even if you don't come now, if you need it in the future, you also know that you can come here.
For the current urban atmosphere, in terms of grandstanding, in fact, the effect of this dragon and lion is still smarter than other cannons and songs.
Now vigorously carry forward the spirit of promoting traditional culture, businessmen can be said to have broken their heads to think of ideas, this real traditional guy, but people have forgotten in the corner. Now, take him out and wipe the ashes, he can still attract many people who really have traditional roots in their hearts.
Yes, there are some gimmicks, and maybe most people will comment on two vulgar sentences, but it would be good if the effect was achieved.
The people of the dragon and lion group entered the door, put the guy aside, took out the Bodhisattva and incense candles they carried, and set up a temporary altar on the table, and a group of people respectfully bowed around the Bodhisattva, and served tea, and then sat down next to him, took the tea handed over by the proprietress, and began to chat.
The cigarettes were swirling, and a group of people felt relieved.
There are more than these people who believe in Buddhism, but all those who do the business of the dead, most of them will have taboos, these people of the dragon division group, also take white things, which family has died, need to be buried, and so dig the pit, the dragon and lion dancers will jump into the grave first, and dance a paragraph with words in their mouths, and the person in charge of the house will hand them some change at this time to sweep away bad luck, and by the way, they will also accumulate blessings and virtues for themselves.
I used to think that this was all a trick to cheat red envelopes, walking the rivers and lakes, and relying on this thing to eat, but later, slowly, I respected their methods, and sometimes, they did see things that ordinary people had not seen.
There are some things that you would rather believe in than what you don't have.
The people of the dragon and lion group began to eat melon seeds, jumping crunchy, and also began to chatter with the boss lady.
"Are you alone here?"
"And a child. ”
"Hard, boss?"
"Fortunately, my family left me a lot of money, and it's okay to live a life. ”
"The proprietress is really blessed, even this land, a treasure of feng shui!" the man said, gesturing to the entire lobby.
Lili hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, thank you, everyone drink, I'll go add tea." ”
"Good, good. "A group of people are very cheerful, and after doing business for a long time, they have a little bit of self-acquainted ability.
Everyone is also a hearty person, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, so they naturally know everything, and they will not hesitate to do anything like the literati.
When the proprietress brought out another pot of tea, the group slammed the teacup on the table, said, "It's done!", and then walked to the door with the guy.
The person in charge did not wear a costume, but a suit and leather shoes, he was thin and tall, he took a microphone and jumped onto the stage, but the voice he said was much thicker than his body, it was simply God's throat to enjoy food, and for a while, many people were attracted to it.
The people of the dragon and lion troupe got dressed and brought good things, and began to dance in full swing.
Maybe it's rare for people in the city to see such a scene, even clapping their hands and shouting, the people of the dragon and lion troupe also work hard, and the skill is also a must, suddenly two dragons play with pearls, and suddenly chase back and forth, and the ecology is lively.
Some people began to consciously put some change on the principal's plate.
In fact, the opening of this business should have been the owner to give some red envelopes, and would not ask the people again, put a plate, which is just a sign, the habit of eating in the rivers and lakes, but it seems that the performance here today is really good, and everyone voluntarily pays out of their pockets, which is considered a reward.
Chen Mu also thought it was good, took out his change, and put it in, hoping that these skills of walking the rivers and lakes would not be lost, it could be regarded as a kind of love funding, it was not easy.
After a performance, everyone seemed to be unsatisfied, and they all followed the people of the dragon and lion group into the square pavilion, some looked at the antiques around, some sat in the hall and ate tea, waiting to see what new things there were, and some found the proprietress and asked what business was here, and said that they were interested in investing, and there were other businessmen who talked about business with the proprietress ...... For a time, the Sifang Pavilion was very lively.
I haven't seen so many people for a long time, I don't know what's going on, gradually, Chen Mu is not afraid of crowds, and even likes such a crowded time.
Suddenly, there was a sound, everyone quieted down, the door of the square pavilion was closed at this time, and the inside was suddenly isolated from the noise of the street, people stared intently at the podium in front of them, those who talked about business forgot to bargain, those who ate tea forgot the teapot that was still running water, and those who smoked forgot that they had smoked on the butt of the cigarette, not that smell......
Above the lecture hall, a gentleman in a horse coat suddenly appeared, like the ancient literati on TV, as soon as he threw the hem of his coat and spread out the folding fan in his hand, he was about to start speaking, "Anyway, there is a little student surnamed Song......
At this time, the people in the seat recovered one after another, some found that the tea was spilled, and some took off the cigarette butts, and they began to listen carefully to the story of Mr.
In the city, especially in such a big city, there are very few businesses that do business leisurely, most of them are in a hurry to make money, and even the life of the second half of their lives is taken up in a place where every inch of land is valuable...... Basically, you can't find a place where you can sit down and drink tea and taste your life.
There are still opera gardens that have been handed down in many places, but most of them can't make ends meet, and they begin to go crooked, grandstanding business, and forget the original intention, such a place is no different from the ordinary market, and it will not attract people to go, but the proprietress is different, after all, it is not bad money.
Half an hour later, after a book was finished, the door opened again, and there was an endless stream of applause in the lobby, which spread to the streets and alleys, and many people were attracted again, and the good people explained to the people who came to inquire over and over again what happened.
The first shot of this Quartet Pavilion can be regarded as a loud fight.
When the evening and sunset came, the guests began to disperse, and the waiter began to clean up, and the proprietress walked to the back kitchen, bowed to a black and white photo, replaced the incense candles that were almost burned out, and picked up the yellow paper and began to burn it. ”
