"Storytelling" is the common name of Sioux City Pingdan.

Including Sioux City Commentary and Sioux City Danci, most of the better developed ones are Danci, that is, small books. The performance is usually based on speaking, singing in the middle of speaking, singing with the accompaniment of the three strings or pipa, and there are also the use of waking wood as a prop to beat the knots when speaking, paying attention to "reason, taste, fun, fineness, and skill". It is "Sioux City Mood Changing Every Year, and the bookstore uses a female gentleman". Its sound is like a hundred turns of spring warbler, intoxicated, the end of the song is far away, and I still feel the aftermath of the beam, so every time I appear, it must be full of people!

Nowadays, there are a lot of teahouses in Sioux City Pingtan, the more famous one, naturally it is located in the Yiyuan of Leqiao Beiyan, which was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, because the garden was built late, absorbed the director of the garden.

Yiyuan occupies a small area, but it is cleverly placed in the landscape and has its own style. The layout of the garden is separated by a compound corridor and the east and west, separated by a compound corridor in the middle, mainly by buildings in the east, lake stones, planting flowers and trees in the courtyard, and the western pond in the center, surrounded by rockeries, flowers and trees, and buildings.

Located in the middle of the Yiyuan teahouse, the silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River are endless, the teahouse and the garden complement each other, no one is abrupt, the box inside is also very distinctive, each is named after the "month", the style is not the same, and follows the structure of the old house, the patio, the large and small rooms and the furnishings inside borrow the scenery very naturally, but also make the environment of the garden, pleasant, relaxed and happy.

Following the Audi car with the license plate of the provincial party committee galloping all the way, when Chen Mingyuan came to the Yiyuan Tea House, the tea house was full of people, a man and a woman in ancient costumes and two commentators sat in front of the hall, the man pulled the three strings, the woman played the pipa in front of the case, Wu Nong spoke softly, playing and singing comfortably, and the whole environment was antique.

"Upstairs please!"

The man raised his hand and led him to the second floor, while glancing at Yin Qingning.

Chen Mingyuan understood, instructed Yin Qingning to wait here, and followed the other party to lead the stairs up to the second floor and came to the private room in the northeast corner.

After the man pushed open the door, he immediately hunched his waist and said respectfully: "Secretary Yue, someone is here." ”

Hearing this, in the position near the window, a middle-aged man turned his head, and when he saw Chen Mingyuan, his elegant and handsome face showed a little smile, beckoned, pointed to the vacant seat next to him, and said, "Here, sit!" ”

The man bent down and made a gesture of please.

Chen Mingyuan walked in, but he didn't sit down in a hurry, but greeted him politely: "Hello, Secretary Yue." ”

Yue Zhongyuan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "In your spare time, don't pay attention to the officialdom, besides, you and I are not superiors and subordinates, you really have to pay attention to it, with my relationship with your father, I can only be counted as your elder." Then he turned to the assistant and said, "Make another pot of tea." ”

The tea was brewed, and Chen Mingyuan was not polite anymore, so he had to sit on the Taishi chair next to him, and there was a square coffee table between the two, in addition to a small set of tea sets, there were also some seasonal fruits and pastries on the fruit plate.

"I shouldn't have eaten yet, so pad my stomach first, accompany me to listen to this song, and then find a restaurant." Yue Zhongyuan's speech and demeanor were still very approachable, and he said with a smile: "When did you come?" ”

"I've been here for three days." Chen Mingyuan didn't know what Yue Zhongyuan meant by inviting him, but what he could be sure of was that he had already known his actions in the past three days, otherwise he would not have sent someone over, so he changed his way to explore: "I didn't expect you to come to Suzhou City to listen to Kunqu Opera, and I knew that Lu Dao should have come to see you." ”

"Hey, it's all said, let's not talk about those red tapes, I just happened to know that you were in Sioux City and wanted to talk to you." As he spoke, Yue Zhongyuan's head turned to the position on the other side, and he gestured to an old man's chin: "Actually, I came to Suzhou City this time, and I also made a special trip to accompany people to watch the play, and I don't understand these Kunqu opera lyrics. ”

Chen Mingyuan's eyes stared at the old man, only to see that this person was wearing a white gown with a cardigan button, a pair of fat black kung fu pants, a pair of handmade mille-feuille shoes, a pair of black sunglasses, thin cheeks, white hair, holding a paper fan and shaking it gently, leisurely enjoying the opera.

In fact, when he first entered the door, he found this old man, but from beginning to end, this old man was focused on listening to the play, even if he arrived, he did not attract his attention, as if he didn't notice it, so it was not easy to say hello.

I don't know what happened to the road, Chen Mingyuan faintly felt that this old man had some impressions, as if he had seen it somewhere, but because the man was wearing sunglasses, he really couldn't distinguish his true face for a while, but seeing that there were two sturdy men standing beside him, and he could sit on an equal footing with Yue Zhongyuan, his identity must not be ordinary!

It wasn't until he heard Yue Zhongyuan mention himself that the old man turned half of his face sideways, showed a little smile, and said: "I have already said it, I just came here to escape the summer and spend a few days, and I can't afford to drive you as a provincial party secretary to put down a bunch of official duties and come to accompany you." Then he glanced at Chen Mingyuan and said casually: "This junior looks a little naïve." ”

"It's the child of an old man." Yue Zhongyuan's tone was slightly restrained and awe-inspiring, and he said truthfully: "He is also the grandson of the old mayor of Zhonghai Chen." ”

The wrinkles on the old man's forehead squeezed, looked at Chen Mingyuan again for a while, let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "It's Lao Chen's grandson, not to mention, the eyebrows, eyes and nose are somewhat similar, but they are much taller and handsome than when he was young." ”

Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan knew that the two of them must have an old relationship, and seeing this old man teasing his grandfather casually, it is not difficult to guess that the other party's background is not simple, and maybe, he is a veteran leader like Qu Lao.

However, the old man didn't seem to plan to reveal more information, and he was not interested in reminiscing about the past with Chen Mingyuan, so he shook his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have something, talk about it first, don't worry about me, I'll listen to the play." After speaking, he continued to enjoy the show on stage, humming a few words from time to time, looking like he was enjoying it.

Since the other party has no intention of talking to himself more, Chen Mingyuan will not be bored, after the tea comes up, he gently sipped the Biluochun, a specialty of Sioux City, and then listened to the silk and bamboo melodious, at this time, the female artist of Pingtan played and sang a play "Three Laughs", although Chen Mingyuan couldn't understand Sioux City, but the euphemistic and soft and moving, low chanting and shallow singing, but it was extremely beautiful in the ears, almost a kind of noisy place, the heart of the leisurely comfortable feeling.

It's just that now he has no time to watch.

"It's hot and irritable outside, and this person's heart can't be calm." Yue Zhongyuan suddenly sighed inexplicably, stared at him and said, "Especially since you are still young and in full spirit, you should think more before doing things." ”

Chen Mingyuan knew that Yue Zhongyuan was talking about standing at the gate of Mujiayuan for three days, and he also heard his persuasion, although he knew that Yue Zhongyuan was kind to him, he still shook his head and said: "I understand all this, but I have no other choice for this matter." ”

Yue Zhongyuan's brows frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't talk further, and he turned around and said: "I have occasionally heard about your local affairs, especially recently, you have done a very good job, in a short period of time, you have won a film and television city worth billions. ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled humbly: "The main thing is the efforts of the group, I really don't dare to take this merit alone." ”

"Merit is not something you say you don't want to want, since you have done it, you should enjoy this glory, and you don't have to worry about it." Yue Zhongyuan smiled and said: "I met with your third uncle a few days ago, and when I mentioned you, his face was about to burst into laughter, this time, you can be regarded as a real fight for your family, work hard, I believe that sooner or later you will have the day when you will become famous." ”

After a pause, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the opera on the stage, and said seriously: "As an old friend of your parents, the only point I give you is to cherish what you have now, life is like a play, victory or defeat is empty in a blink of an eye, and you will find out when you are old that this life is just a game, and there is no need to be too rigid about many things." ”

After going around in a circle, Yue Zhongyuan's ultimate goal was to persuade Chen Mingyuan to stop.

At present, the affairs of the Mu family have been spread in the whole circle, and many people are very curious about the reasons for Mu Jiayin's resistance to marriage, and some people even assert conclusively that this proud daughter of the sky has already secretly communicated with people and made a private agreement for life, so she will refuse Kou Beiyan's courtship!

Now, the eyes of the major families in Sijiu City are staring at the Mu family, and inquiring about the reality of the 'third party', now, Chen Mingyuan went to the door of the Mu family garden, didn't he take the initiative to make himself the target of the public!

The consequences of this are not just as simple as being talked about, once you ruin your reputation, your future career will also be overshadowed.

You must know that in this huge and strict circle of elites, there is no room for heresies!

Chen Mingyuan knew what he meant, and he was also a little grateful for his kindness, in this deceitful and selfish Vanity Fair, it was not easy for Yue Zhongyuan to be able to remember the old relationship with his father, and he had always been kind to himself, but in this matter, he really had no choice!

Mu Jiayin has sacrificed so much for herself, if she can sacrifice her honor and disgrace in exchange for her safety, it will be worth it.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Mingyuan chuckled and said: "Uncle Yue is free and easy, but even if life is like a play, we must strive to play our role well, so that we will not leave regrets when the curtain ends, right?" ”

Yue Zhongyuan was stunned, sensing the resoluteness in his words, and also understood that he had made up his mind, sighed secretly, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and didn't say anything more.

At that moment, the figure of Chen Mingyuan's father inexplicably appeared in his mind, they were all the same stubborn and stubborn, in order to achieve their goals, they would rather oppose all secular ethics than give in!
