Chapter 22: Partnerships
So, my parents followed the fellow to another street. When they found a place that was not too much of a way to spread out the field, the man rang the gong again.
After knocking for a while, people gathered around. The man hugged his fists and said to everyone: "Friends, comrades, fellow villagers: today my eldest brother and I came to your place for the first time, and I want to present a set of programs for everyone. ”
After speaking, he performed a set of iron sand palms as he did just now, and then introduced my father to everyone: "Fellow villagers, my eldest brother has been following the blind man to learn to tell stories since he was a child, and he has obtained the true biography of many folk artists, and now I invite him to perform for everyone." ”
My father thought to himself that there were so many people in this place, and if he said a tirade, it would definitely delay time, and it might also affect the performance of the next show of that fellow. So, he thought of the storytelling hat.
Those who haven't heard a storyteller may not know what a book cap means. The book cap is a little story with humorous overtones that the storyteller tells before he starts to talk about the long story.
Thinking of this, my father straightened up, took the drumstick, struck it twice, and said to the crowd, "I will first present a book cap for everyone." It is said that in ancient times, there was a member who liked to chant poetry very much. And he only has a baby daughter under his knees.
Seeing that the daughter had only grown to eighteen years old, he planned to recruit a son-in-law for him. But he put forward one condition: those who could not recite the poem correctly were not allowed to talk. If you want to be his son-in-law, you have to meet his exam questions.
One day, three young men volunteered to come to the staff and say that they were singing poetry and drinking well. The other member invited the three of them to the backyard for tea, and then took out the exam questions. I saw that it was written: a little red, bent like a bow; In pairs, black goo.
The clerk asked them to read the exam questions and put forward the conditions, each of the three people must chant a poem according to these twelve words, which poem meets his meaning, and the girl will marry whoever he wants.
But the three men scratched their ears and cheeks and thought about it for a while, and one of them raised his hand and said that his poem had been written. Let him groan outside the staff. The man looked at the moon in the sky and said, "He recited a poem on the moon: The moon comes out a little red, rises into the air and bends like a bow; The stars in the sky are in pairs, and the corners of the walls are black and cooing.
When the staff heard this, they nodded. The first person was smug, thinking that the daughter of the staff member was none other than him, but he didn't expect the second person to say: "Outside the staff, my poem has also been chanted." I'm using the peach tree in the courtyard as the theme. “
The outsider said, "Come." But the man said, "The peach on the tree is a little red, and the peach branch is bent like a bow; The birds in the trees were in pairs, and the shadows on the ground were black and cooing. The man nodded and smiled, and then asked the third if the poem could be recited.
But the third one knelt down for the outsider. When the staff saw him like this, they hurriedly helped him and asked him why he was doing this. He said that his poem had also been written, and he was afraid that he would anger the staff by reading it, so he wanted to ask for his forgiveness first.
The staff said, the good diet is right, it doesn't matter what you moan, but it doesn't hurt to moan. The man heard the man say this, so he dared to stand up and say, "The poem I chant is about my old mother." When the other two heard this, they couldn't help but feel surprised, and said in their hearts: We all take things as the theme, and he dares to take people as the theme, and dare to use the girl as the theme, what a boldness!"
And the other member didn't interrupt, just smiled and listened to him. But I heard the man groan, "The girl's lips are a little red, and the girl's eyebrows are curved like bows; The two of us got married as a couple, and there was a black coo in the cave room. ”
As soon as they finished chanting, the other two shouted to the outside: "Outside, this guy is so bold, he is talking nonsense here, hurry up and get him out." However, the outsider did not hurry up to the third. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Don't hurry up and meet your father-in-law." ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The son-in-law visits his father-in-law." The other two watched from the sidelines, only stunned. So, I tell you, whatever you do, be bold and courageous. Only when you are brave and bold can you succeed. Look at this boldness, the outsider really took a fancy to him. “
When my father said this, his mouth was so tired that he licked his tongue. At this moment, a student-like person next to me handed over a bottle of water, and my father drank it all, and then looked at the fellow. The fellow performed another set of iron-headed skills for everyone.
After the performance of the iron head gong, my father said: "Let's talk about a story of the outsider: 'It is said that another outsider has three daughters, the eldest daughter married into the official family, the second daughter married a literati, and the third daughter married a peasant.
On this day, the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law brought valuable gifts, and the third son-in-law had no money, so he only brought a chicken and a duck. When the staff saw it, they were secretly annoyed, but they were embarrassed to show it, so they tried to find a way to make it difficult for the third son-in-law.
He knew that the three sons-in-law were old and coarse, but he asked his wife to tell them, the staff is happy today, and there is a question to test the three of you, whoever answers correctly can be seated, and if the answer is not right, he will sit in the kitchen to eat. Then the lady said the question: What is flying in the sky, what is walking underground, what is on the table?
The condition is that the poems chanted should be reasonable and rhyme.
