Section 13: Grassroots Teachers

Mr. Liu is very depressed, he is very thin, and after these days of "fighting", he now looks almost skinny, but his storytelling is still so one-of-a-kind and has never shrunk because of illness. In fact, although this storyteller is respectfully called Mr., they don't dare to really regard themselves as superior cultural people, but when compared with other artists, they are respected because these people can read and hyphenation, and he is still an artist, which can never be changed. However, what made him depressed was not his illness, nor was it that the audience didn't buy it after a long break, and those book fans who came here were still enthusiastic, but when he finished talking about today's content, the audience didn't want another person to return. Especially when he saw the eager eyes in the eyes of those book lovers, the old man's heart was cold. So he didn't finish the book and leave as usual, but found Boss Zhao to catch up and chat. Why didn't he go, especially when his body didn't recover and needed to rest? Old man Zhao's heart was bright, and he said that the talented man I picked up is definitely a rare strange person, so I will accompany you to rub the time, so that you can be frightened.

Jiang Tian originally thought that he could be liberated from the acting career, but he didn't expect that these people would not count after listening to the storytelling, and they had to say another cross talk by themselves, and even those little rich people who had nothing to do and liked to pretend to be Sven were coaxing with those family members and small servants, as if they didn't say it and treated the guests slowly.

"Everyone, everyone! There's really no new story to talk about, and even I can't make it up so quickly! ”

Everyone thought about it and said the same thing, what he said was a very short story, and he said several times in a row in the past few days, although they were all witty and humorous, but they were definitely not made up by him temporarily, if there was really no new story, it was indeed difficult for a strong man.

"There is no new one, let's talk about the old one, and Mr. Liu is not talking about a new book!"

Jiang Tian still couldn't find out who shouted such a voice, there were too many people at the scene, unless you kept an eye on this person from the beginning, it was really not easy for people to catch them. The audience's feelings were mobilized by this sentence again, there are thousands of storytellers in this world, and how many of them can often talk about new books? If it weren't for the fact that the current saint wrote this novel of wind and snow, otherwise wouldn't those old books have been flipped around? Oh, and there is also a "Journey to the West" that has just been lifted. At this time, Mr. Liu happened to be sitting behind the curtain and pretending to chat with his old friends, and after hearing this sentence, he was really choked and coughed for a long time, thinking that we are not talking about books, and we can write books and say who is still eating this bowl of open rice as an artist.

At this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered a certain grassroots cross talk big man in the later generations, once that person came on stage, the audience was also so unrelenting, and he had to let him return endlessly, maybe at that time, as an actor, he belonged to that kind of pain and happiness, and he had no other feeling except pain. He had no choice but to stand behind the desk, because he knew that Old Man Liu hadn't left and he was still wearing short brown, so it would be indecent to sit there with a swagger, so he didn't sit down and picked up the waking wood and gently slapped it on the table.

"Smack!" The teahouse was a lot quieter all of a sudden, Jiang Tian glanced at the scene, there were a lot of people in the good guy's house, it should be an idler passing by who saw him talking, and also ran in to join in the fun, it is really difficult for you to be afraid of squeezing out prickly heat in this big summer.

"Today I will tell you a little story about when I was a child, I went to a private school in the village since I was a child, and our village is poor, so Mr. Teaching has nothing decent, just teaching in a dilapidated Tianwang Temple......"

This "Tianwang Temple" was said two days ago, but at that time, Jiang Tian did not organize the cross talk, and it was completely performed on the spot from memory, not only the story narration was incomplete, but the performance demeanor was not in place, fortunately, there was no audience to care about him at that time, and then Jiang Tian wrote out the cross talk script in his mind in detail in order to cope with the days when Mr. Liu was away, and reorganized the language to adapt to this era, and was also thinking about how to add body movements, so when he re-performed it today, Even the audience who had heard this joke was still amused with laughter.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The gentleman's eyes were not good, and he didn't see the words written on the wall until he went in and out, and he only heard him read: The Heavenly King Fa Xiangda incarnated four brothers. Well...... Although the number of words is a little more, it is still very clear, and then look at the next sentence: Wearing armor like dragon scales, a total of four texts. That's not right, the four heavenly kings made up four coins? Then look down: the head is to buy a bowl of cold noodles with a wheat bucket! This is even more unusual, you said that his head is so big, how can a bowl of cold noodles be enough for these four people. This last sentence should not be wrong: a soak of dung and fifteen catties of Mr. swallowed it alone...... Oh me! ”

With the rearranged lines and demeanor, it caused the audience to laugh.

When Jiang Tian performed in front, he couldn't see Mr. Liu's demeanor, and Boss Zhao happened to sit opposite him, watching his old friend disdain from the beginning, and his expression gradually became solemn. He is a knowledgeable person, Jiang Tian's acting skills are very clumsy, but the story is very exciting, this young man who reads is really good, don't look at himself hiding behind the curtain, listening to his narration actually has a feeling of immersion, the language can be refined to this point and fascinating, no wonder the officials have to let him go on stage, so short but it makes people laugh, it is indeed happier than listening to my endless storytelling with buttons everywhere!

Boss Zhao did not defend Jiang Tian, he believed that his old friend was not a person who was obsessed with the view of the door, Jiang Tian was indeed not a serious artist, but he was also a scholar, and he could only be regarded as pleasant to depreciate himself for a short time, and the rules between you and the artist could not be controlled at all, and his commentary was completely different from what you said, and it was not easy to say that people were imitating your typhoon. But Boss Zhao didn't comfort Mr. Liu, this old guy has been a little blind since he avoided the danger of the fall of the capital and ran to Jiangnan to see the world. This is not to say that Mr. Liu looks down on Old Man Zhao, but that he began to be arrogant in his art, the official dialect of the previous dynasty was Nanjing, and he used to use the local dialect to tell stories, but now he is completely performing in Jinling accent. As a result, people are not as good as heaven, when today's military dialect is completely born from the northern dialect, and is closer to the Liaodong Han dialect outside the Guanwai, it won't be long before this language will become a new official dialect, you see Jiang Tian dancing in front of him, speaking the standard military dialect, if you still hold on to your previous glory, but you will be surpassed by this layman. So Boss Zhao watched his worried friend get up and say goodbye, and then left through the back door accompanied by the scholar, but he never saw him off.

Jiang Tian is now very famous in the flower street and willow lane in the east of the city, many people are talking about such an alternative talent, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is talking about his love and righteousness, and the entertainment industry is talking about the novel form of storytelling, and the small people in the market are dancing and saying how they watched him sell a broken jar for a sky-high price, but many of Boss Zhao's peers vomited sour water, why did you let Zhao Si's old immortal pick such a treasure in the first place?

As a party, Jiang Tian also felt an invisible pressure, in the past, when he went out, some people lamented that Xiucai would also do rough work for a living, but now when he went out, he could clearly find that the eyes of these neighbors who were pointing at him had changed, although it was not respectful, but at least there was no ridicule from the original. On the contrary, some of the people who had publicly laughed at him before avoided his gaze at this time, and no longer dared to look at him. But these are nothing, but it still makes him a little proud, what really makes him feel pressure is a rumor, in the past two days, the three guys who often patronize the Red Mansion have uncharacteristically often come to him to drink tea, and many people have seen this person into the backyard of the teahouse and not come out for a long time, so people who are good things have rumors: The reason why Jiang Xiucai can turn over is because he is favored by Grandpa Liu, and the four of them often hide behind the teahouse......

"Who said that?" Liu Pervert was furious: "I'm going to find the Xiang Guild to choose someone who looks like this?" ”

Jiang Tian squinted at him, Song Yi and Tian Xuhai hid aside and secretly had fun, this kind of rumor is really common in Dengcao Hutong, it is difficult for people here to talk about imagination in other places, but as Brother Serang said, Jiang Tian is indeed ordinary in appearance, and he is definitely not an excellent service industry practitioner, this kind of irrefutable question is really unpleasant.

Song Yi laughed for a while and then said to the pervert: "I said you, why didn't anyone arrange the two of us?" ”

"That's, that is, as soon as there are such rumors, it will inevitably be inseparable from you Liu Baokai, what is the reason?" Tian Xuhai, who is usually serious, also rarely ridiculed: "If you want me to say, Brother Jiang is really wronged, and it is really insulting to have a relationship with you." ”

The two of them talked and laughed for a while, and found that Jiang Tian was sitting on the side in a daze with a preoccupied look, as if he was really worried about this. So they communicated with each other with their eyes again, and this time it was Song Yi who spoke first: "Brother Jiang? Are you worried about this? ”

Jiang Tian shook his head: "You came to me to study intensive knowledge, why don't outsiders know the details, I thought about it some time ago, since the saint advocates science today, and I observe the schoolwork you brought from the Imperial Academy, it seems that the teacher who teaches is also half-aware and not proficient in this science, so how can he cultivate the pillars that the country needs?" So the foolish brother thought, anyway, there are not many guests every morning, so it is better for me to open a private school to recruit some students who are willing to study this way, so as to block the mouth of the people and earn some pocket subsidies. ”

The two looked at each other, they didn't expect Jiang Tian's thinking to be too jumpy, how could they think of opening a museum to accept apprentices because of gossip? Not to mention that this person really has this ability, these days they brought their homework to deliberately let him answer it, and found that no matter how tricky the question is, he can solve it effortlessly, and the topic brought today no longer belongs to the category of homework, but the difficult questions that Old Man Song explained to them, but people don't take this kind of thing seriously at all, and they generally say that they have written the correct answer at hand. In fact, it is not difficult, it is to calculate the volume of a cylinder and a cone, but Jiang Tian does not know that this shape is the gunpowder combustion chamber of the trial cannon. Originally, the calculations were based on filling the sand in the real thing, and then pouring out the sand and measuring it with a measuring tool, not to mention that it was not necessarily accurate, so the old man Song was like if he told him the size of the artillery, could he know how much gunpowder needed to be loaded before the cannon was cast? As a result, Jiang Tian didn't take two minutes to calculate the exact number jΓΉ.

In fact, the so-called rumor, Liu Pervert knows the source, there is a little woman in the Yihong Mansion diagonally opposite who holds a grudge against Jiang Tian together, but this is not released by her, but a certain gentleman in order to make the beauty laugh and disgust the old opponent on the Fengyue field, so he concocted such a rumor, but the male style was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, and the lethality of this kind of scandal is really limited. Jiang Tian just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart after hearing it, and the servants with important tasks were also too lazy to refute the rumors, if Jiang Tian hadn't mentioned this by chance today, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to mention it to him.

After feeling cold, Tian Gongzi was the first to react: "Brother Jiang, this idea is good." If you can really do it, then you will be the first to sign up, but I don't know how to collect your bundle here? ”

Song Yi also immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity, if he was really allowed to be this private school teacher, then how much ability this person had would not need to be so hard to test now, just listen to how he teaches? So he hurriedly stroked his palms and praised: "I think it's feasible, it's better for me to find a wide school, find more poor children, and select talents for the country......"

In this matter, Liu Pervert also realized that the opportunity could not be lost, but he did not follow Jiang Tian's train of thought, but put forward his opinion in another way: "Although His Majesty advocates science, but the people are not moved, that is, many classmates in the academy also think that the Qi family governs the country and the world, and it still depends on the words of the sage. I don't think it's better for Brother Song to beg the old man of his family and let Brother Jiang go to the Imperial Academy, so that those frogs at the bottom of the well can see what is the study of things! ”

This is indeed a rare good idea, the only problem is that Jiang Tian doesn't want to have anything to do with the official family, especially the Imperial Academy, maybe one day the traverser emperor will test his homework on a whim, then he will never be able to hide it, so he can only deny this plan.

"The Royal Church must be full of talents, I still don't want to cause trouble for people, I'm just saying that I'm just a whim, I really want to be this gentleman, but I don't know what to do."

Jiang Tian said that he was modest, but this spy understood that he was deliberately shirking, so why was he unwilling to be an official? Or did he have a real reason why he would never serve the court? The more he deliberately kept a low profile like this, the more suspicion he aroused, but fortunately, they knew that the other group of people released from their side was about to return to Beijing, and they might be able to unravel his disguise when the time came.
