At this moment, Ji Qing started another job of his own.

Through the meeting with Shan Ying, Shan Ying still happily gave Ji Qing a shop, but it was up to the Ling Mansion to decide what to do with this shop.

Considering that Ji Qing's tongue is a lotus flower and he is more good at telling stories, Ling Fu arranged a teahouse for him to take care of.

Of course, Ji Qing obviously didn't have time to take care of it, so at this time, Chen Shuo's real role was reflected.

This girl was not as simple as he had imagined, on the contrary, her methods were very clever, and in a matter of minutes, she attracted a large number of fresh listeners to come to the teahouse every day to sit and listen to books.

Since Chen Shuozhen is busy taking care of the teahouse by himself, Ji Qing naturally has to get up early every day to "go to work" to tell stories.

Storytelling is actually an ancient folk art, in which "speaking" means telling, and "book" refers to stories, so storytelling is a means of making a living by telling stories. According to historical research, storytelling originated in the Song Dynasty, and later continued to grow among the people, becoming one of the most common forms of leisure and entertainment in ancient times.

The storyteller's line is very simple, only need a table, a fan, a waking wood, among which the "waking wood" is also called "shocking wood", is a piece of about one inch long (1 inch = 3·3333 cm), about half an inch wide rectangular small wooden block, carved on the top of the wooden block 20 lines, a total of ten planes. Usually storytellers put the waking wood flat on the table, and the waking wood will have nine planes exposed, so the waking wood is also called "nine directions".

The awakening wood was very important to the storyteller, and in ancient times it was the equivalent of a storyteller's performance permit.

Usually the waking wood is taught to him by the storyteller's master during his initiation ceremony, so the storyteller does not have a waking wood during his apprenticeship, and can only have his own waking wood when he is able to perform independently after learning. Because of the special significance of the waking wood, the size of the waking wood used by storytellers of different schools is also different.

If the ancient storytellers saw the same awakening wood in the process of performing arts, they would know that they were from the same school. If you meet a colleague, you will first start with Xingmu to interrogate the origin of the other party, in a sense, Xingmu represents the inheritance and history of the storyteller. In addition to waking wood, a storyteller's indispensable tool when telling a story is a paper folding fan, which looks ordinary but plays an important role in the storytelling process.

When telling a story, storytellers often use fans to simulate a variety of objects and actions, such as using fans instead of knives, guns, blades, brushes, etc., by dancing fans, storytellers can vividly imitate the posture of knives and guns during martial arts, and can also show the scene of literati and ink artists splashing ink, which can be said to be omnipotent, but according to the different teachers and habits, different storytellers use fans in slightly different ways. In addition to the most common waking wood and fans, some storytellers will use other tools when telling stories, such as handkerchiefs, teapots, teacups, smoking utensils, etc., among which the handkerchief is an ordinary white handkerchief, in the process of storytelling performance, handkerchiefs and fans can replace and imitate many objects, such as letters, books, etc.

At the same time, the storyteller can also use a handkerchief to imitate the characters in the story to wipe sweat and tears, making the story more vivid and interesting. Tea sets, cigarette sets, teacups, etc. are all objects used by the storyteller himself, and if the plot requires it, the storyteller will also use them as props, for example, when the people in the story drink water and smoke, the storyteller will use his own tea set and smoking utensils.

Although the line of storytelling is simple, it is extremely interesting, and all kinds of historical stories are always told by storytellers in a fascinating and vivid way, attracting an endless stream of listeners. In the past, the stories told by storytellers can be divided into two categories: "clear sheds" and "thunder sheds", clear sheds, refers to stories similar to talented and beautiful women, when telling this kind of book, the storyteller should speak slowly and eloquently, and thunder sheds refer to the battlefield soldiers, soldiers meet each other type of stories, when telling this kind of story, the storyteller should be majestic and hearty. Usually every storyteller has their own type of story, and this is the basis for their survival.

In the Song Dynasty, where storytelling originated, storytellers performed in Goolan Washe, which was a specific kind of performing arts at that time, and in the Republic of China, the main activity place of storytellers became teahouses. Every day, a wooden sign is hung at the door of the teahouse, on which the name of the storyteller of the day and the content of the storyteller are written. For many people at that time, going to the teahouse to drink tea was to listen to the book and cheer the scene, so the quality of the teahouse business has a lot to do with the storyteller's ability, a good storyteller can bring a steady stream of customers to the teahouse, and is very respected by the teahouse owner. As for the honorarium, depending on the seniority of the storyteller, some storytellers will take a commission based on the number of guests, while others will charge a fixed price per session.

Usually, when the people in the teahouse are almost full, the storyteller will start to tell the story, he will first hold his waking wood high, and then slam it on the table, after the waking wood makes a "pop" sound, the people in the teahouse know that the storytelling is about to start, and will slowly quiet down. Then, the storyteller will tell the story of the day.

In the process of storytelling, in order to attract the attention of the audience, the storyteller will design some baggage, suspense and climax, and with the storyteller's description, the listener is completely immersed in the story, and the people in the story sometimes laugh, sometimes frown, and sometimes angry. Usually in order to attract the audience, the storyteller will leave a suspense at the end of each storytelling, and the audience will always be unsatisfied after listening, and in order to know the follow-up of the story, they will come back the next day.

For storytellers, the book of stories is very important, and a classic story usually relies on the storyteller's word of mouth to be passed down from generation to generation. In addition, depending on the school, different storytellers will deduce their own versions of the same story. In addition to inheriting the classic old book,A good storyteller will also create his own new book,In the process of storytelling again and again,He constantly adds and adds new content in the book according to the audience's reaction,Make a book more and more perfect,Become your own unique secret book。

In addition, the storyteller must have hard work, first of all, "memorization", the storyteller must remember all the characters, place names, and plots in the story, if there is a slight mistake by the knowledgeable audience, it will be ruined; The exhalation and retraction when speaking and the expression and demeanor during the storytelling process need to be carefully thought out to be done well. A good storyteller often shakes his head and has a lot of expression, sometimes laughing and scolding, sometimes crying and complaining, and the audience can't help but be immersed in the story.

But in later generations, with the gradual rise and increase of entertainment activities, this art that emerged from the Song Dynasty has slowly disappeared in the torrent of the times......

Ji Qing glanced behind the scenes, and saw that the props on the stage had already been prepared, and the audience was almost full, so he tidied up his clothes and prepared to go on stage to tell a story.

But while the audience hasn't arrived yet, he can still think of the script first.

For example, Jia Baoyu's Tongling Baoyu vs. Zhu Wuneng's nine-toothed nail rake, regardless of victory or defeat, Duan Yu's six-vein divine sword shook Xiao Shiyilang's deer cutting knife without hurting a bit, or Xiao Yu'er forced Ren Yingying, Ling Hu Chong Huashan on the sword and met Xiaolongnu and so on......

The reason why he has such a big brain hole is also due to the fact that he was a well-known Internet writer before he crossed over, he loved to read such and such a collection of stories since he was a child, his imagination is very rich, and his own eloquence and writing are good, so that in the conceived script, these originally unrelated stories can be blended together without appearing abrupt.

"Is your script conceived, it's already full. Chen Shuozhen approached at this time and said. Book Bar

"Don't worry, it's been ready for a long time. Ji Qing replied solemnly.

"Alright, I'll go ahead and let you know. Chen Shuozhen nodded, then ignored him and walked straight towards the door.

Ji Qing took a deep breath, and his mood was still a little nervous, as if he had returned to the time when he used to read the speech.

Only this time, there is no speech, and I can only rely on my own imagination to make up those fresh stories one by one.

"Mr. Ji Qing will be here soon, don't be impatient. Chen Shuozhen also returned to the front desk of the teahouse at this time and said to all the audience.

At this time, Ji Qing finally came on stage, only to see him pick up the startling wood and slap it hard, and the somewhat noisy voices in the audience spontaneously quieted down.

"Ahem, let's pick up the book today, the fifth time, Jia Baoyu sleepwalks in the realm of too little, Lingbaoyu vs. Zhu Wuneng ......"

"In the fourth episode yesterday, the Xue family's mother and son lived in the Rong Mansion and other things have been made clear, so I won't talk about it for the time being.

Now let's say that Lin Daiyu is at ease in Rongfu, a mother Jia is so loving, sleeping and living like Baoyu, and the three granddaughters of Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun are backwards;

I don't want to suddenly come to a Xue Baochai now, although he is not very old, but he has a good character and a beautiful appearance, everyone says that Daiyu is inferior.

That Baochai is open-minded but open-minded, and when he obeys, he is not as tall as Daiyu and has no dust, so he has won the hearts of the people, even the little girls are also close to Baochai.

Therefore, Daiyu was a little angry in her heart, but Baochai was unaware. That Baoyu is also among the children,

Moreover, he is stupid and remote by nature, and regards his sisters and brothers as one, and there is no difference between relatives and relatives.

Now in the same room as Daiyu in Jia's mother's room, so he is slightly more familiar with other sisters, and he feels more intimate when he is used to it, and he will inevitably have some gaps in his closeness and the destruction of perfection.

On this day, for some reason, the two had some discord, and Daiyu wept alone in the room.

Baoyu also regretted that her words were offended, and went to bow down, and the Daiyu side gradually turned around.

Because the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the Ningfu Garden in the east, Jia Zhen's wife You Naizhi wine utensils, invited Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc. to enjoy the flowers.

Jia Mu came over after breakfast and went to play in Huifang Garden, first tea and then wine.

It's just a family banquet for the family members of Ning Rong's second mansion, and there is no other new interesting story to remember......"

With Ji Qing's various glances in the hall and the general narrative, the story of an immortal who joined a mortal and fought another immortal was quietly presented in front of everyone listening to the book.

Most of the people listening to the book in the audience are the young masters and ladies of the wealthy families and official eunuchs in the vicinity, and they are all not worried about money, and every time Ji Qing says that he wants to talk about books, he spontaneously comes to cheer.

Ji Qing took advantage of this effect and quickly built the business and atmosphere of the teahouse, coupled with Chen Shuo's operation and publicity, the income of the teahouse was very considerable.

If it weren't for the fact that he was busy breaking through the double lock, he might not be willing to do this kind of "work".

But as the saying goes, if you can't get along with anyone, you won't get along with money, and these listeners in front of you are all big families, and the "reward" after listening to the book every time is very arrogant.

Ling Hao naturally enjoyed it, telling a story in the teahouse in the early morning and evening, and the scene of listening to the book was naturally full.
