Chapter 9 The First City Under Heaven
After lunch, the princess and Wei Jinyan hadn't seen each other for many years, and they had important things to discuss, and they had a lot to say, in order not to disturb others. Chu Xiaoyang consciously proposed to take a look at the scenery of the Great Liang of the Wei Kingdom, and the princess asked the maid Ke'er to take Chu Xiaoyang to take a look around.
In the bustling capital of Daliang, Ke'er took Chu Xiaoyang around, and this little maid was also open, and introduced the wine and food of Daliang of Wei to Chu Xiaoyang, and tasted all kinds of snacks in Daliang City, and hugged a full of snacks. Her mouth was stuffed with a bulging bag, like a little hamster, and her mouth was still chattering to introduce Chu Xiaoyang non-stop, she was really a quirky master.
"Young Master Chu, the most lively time in our Daliang City is the Lantern Festival, and it can be lively when it comes to the Lantern Festival, every household will light up lanterns, and the streets are red and beautiful, brighter than during the day, but it is also very beautiful now, and you will know it at night." The most important thing is that people will put wishing lanterns at night, the sky above this Daliang City is very beautiful, like there are countless stars, it is beautiful to extinguish it clearly, it is the most lively day of our Wei Daliang. Eh, Master Chu, why don't you listen to Ke'er? ”
"What is the Tingshulou used for?" Chu Xiaoyang pointed to a quaint building and asked.
"Oh, Chu Gongzi is talking about the listening library, that is a place for people to listen to books for entertainment, there are storytellers in it, and Gongzi only needs to buy a pot of tea where he can listen all day. Is Childe going to check it out? ”
Chu Xiaoyang nodded.
So the two came to the listening building, which is three stories high, covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers, and it is quite wide inside. The middle of the building is hollow, so you can not only listen to books on the first floor, but also look down on the second and third floors. The storytelling desk is in the center, there are more than 100 tables and chairs on the first floor, it is not yet evening at this time, some people who are dressed simply are gathered around a table in twos and threes, listening carefully to the storytelling, and applauding when they hear the wonderful places, so lively.
"There are boxes on the second and third floors, can Childe go to the box to have a look?"
"No, it's just lively here."
As soon as I sat down, there was a pot of steaming tea on the side.
"Sanwenqian, can the guest officer ask for some snacks?"
This little two is also real, and he directly reached out to ask for money.
"Then some snacks!" Chu Xiaoyang handed Xiao Er a silver ingot.
"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer!" Seeing that the person who came made a generous move, Xiao Er couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic.
Look at the storyteller, a table, a chair and a person.
Look at the storyteller Lao Suo wearing an ink-colored robe, with two sleeves and a jade fan, he has his own style and bones. Let's watch others shake the fan in front of them, and wake up the wood and slap the table.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu divided Kyushu, set up a state pastor, and then Xia Qi ordered the state pastor to offer bronze and cast nine tripods. In order to highlight the position of King Xia as the co-lord of the world, it is said to comply with the mandate of heaven. ”
"Let's say that this is a thousand weights, since ancient times, no one can lift it. According to legend, King Wu of Zhou got this Jiuding, and each tripod used 90,000 people to pull, and Jiuding needed a total of 810,000 people. "The greatest weapon in the world is none other than Jiuding. One tripod is a state, and nine tripods symbolize Kyushu. The king of Western Qin wanted to move the Yongzhou Dingding back to Qin, thinking that he could carry the Ding, but he died violently in Luoyang......"
The storyteller was full of spirit when he talked about the wonderful points, and everyone in the audience applauded. Speaking of sadness, he covered his face with his sleeve several times to wipe away his tears, and the audience was silent.
He also said that "there is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent." One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country, the beauty is hard to get! ”
People are listening to books, but God is already far away in the nine heavens, fantasizing about what kind of beauty is in the country, and delusionally wanting to see the peerless face of the beauty.
He also said that "it was said that the princes of the Beacon Fire Drama of the Hidden King of the Week, and it was a smile for the beauties......"
The people in the audience sighed again, saying that the king of Youwang that week was absurd and unreasonable, a ruined family, and beauties did not love the country.
I heard the two husbands and wives at the next table arguing, and the woman said that I also wanted to be that compliment, so that the king of Youwang would spoil me alone, and she was intoxicated and obsessed. I heard the man look disgusted, and said that you have such a figure and appearance, mother-in-law, so I thought about it and daydreamed. I am the only one in this world who is willing to marry you. The woman was angry and said, "Your house is surrounded by walls, and I will marry you only when I was blind." The man tried to say something again, but the woman was glared at and shut up.
"Little Er, another plate of osmanthus cake!" The woman shouted.
"Lady, you've eaten a lot. Why don't we eat it another day? The man touched his shriveled purse.
"That's it!"
The man just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he had no choice but to hear the woman say something quietly.
"You're going to sleep on the floor tonight!" Then he rolled his eyes, snorted angrily, got up and was about to leave.
The man hurriedly grabbed the woman, and after buying a plate of osmanthus cakes, the woman was satisfied.
"There are only women and villains in the world, and it is difficult to raise!" Chu Xiaoyang snorted and laughed.
"Young Master Chu, what are you laughing at?" Ke'er Gang listened to the book seriously, heard Chu Xiaoyang laugh, and turned around and asked.
"Didn't laugh at anything!"
"I laughed obviously, but Childe didn't tell me."
"I can't say this!" Chu Xiaoyang hurriedly waved his hand, just listen to it secretly, don't talk about others, not to mention that it's at the next table, it's not good to be heard, it's better to be secretly happy. I thought that I would marry a wife in the future, and I must not marry a dominatrix.
"Young Master Chu, why is it difficult to raise only a woman and a villain? That's not true at all! ”
"It's not what I said, I'm just borrowing it."
"And who said that? I'll have to go to him to theorize. Ke'er looked indignant, her little face turned red, and she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to find someone to theorize immediately.
"This is what a saint said!"
"Bah, this is also a saint? Arbitrary and arbitrary, how can you compare a woman with a villain! Which saint do you say? ”
"The founder of the Confucian school of the sages, the sage Confucius! If you still want to find him to theorize, you have to go to the Netherworld! ”
"Oh, bah, bah, my mouth, sin, sin! Don't blame me, the saint, it's Ke'er who is ignorant and has offended the saint. Sage, you have a lot of them, don't come to me for a theory. Ke'er was so frightened that she hurriedly folded her hands, her mouth was full of broken thoughts, she shook her head and nodded, and hurriedly admitted her mistake, like a rattle.
"Hey, you can rest assured, Sage Kong will not blame you, he has a lot of people so he will not worry about you."
"It's all your fault, Childe has nothing to say, only women and villains are difficult to raise, look at Keer's jokes!"
"Childe is still laughing! Kerr is angry! Ke'er didn't hum, turned her head to ignore Chu Xiaoyang, pouted a mouth, and her bulging appearance was very cute.
"Don't be angry, Miss Kerr, oh, it's all my fault for making Miss Kerr's angry, oh, it's all my fault for my stinky mouth, it's okay to say anything, only women and villains are difficult to raise. This woman and the villain are not comparable, this is simply a heaven and an underground! This woman is the Nine Heavens and Bright Moon, this villain......" Chu Xiaoren was short of words for a while.
"What's a villain?" Ke'er opened a pool of autumn eyes and pricked up her ears.
"Uh, uh, that's it...... That evil insect and stink rat, yes, is a bad insect and stink rat! ”
"That's right! The villain is the evil insect and stink rat. ”
"Is Miss Kerr still angry?"
"Angry!"
"This, this, how is this good!" Chu Xiaoyang's eyes purred, and Yu Jiao caught a glimpse of the woman at the next table eating osmanthus cake, with a satisfied look, and suddenly his mind started in his heart.
"Then how about Chu inviting Miss Ke'er to eat osmanthus cake?"
Ke'er's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Chu Xiaoyang knew that it was feasible, so he waved his hand.
"Little Er, come and serve this girl a plate of osmanthus cake!"
"If you can't do it, you want ten plates!" Ke'er hurriedly said, she is most greedy for the osmanthus cake in this storytelling building, the entrance is fragrant, not sweet or greasy, and it is very delicious. After saying that, she suddenly felt embarrassed, and said another shyly.
"Uh...... Five dishes would be fine! Kerr opened her little white hand and gestured. She is smart and clever, and she has always been favored by the princess in the princess's mansion, otherwise she would not dare to be so bold.
"If it's really only a woman, it's hard to ...... villain"
"What did Gongzi Chu say?" Ke'er stared at a pool of autumn water.
It's really a good reincarnation of heaven, karma. Just now, he was still laughing at others, and he said in his heart that he was a dominatrix, and this time he would be retributed, Chu Xiaoyang was very helpless.
"Uh-uh, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything. Come, Xiao Er will serve this girl ten plates of osmanthus cake and another pot of elixir! ”
Ke'er suddenly raised her eyebrows with joy and smiled crookedly.
"Miss Ke'er isn't angry, is she?" Chu Xiaoyang asked cautiously.
"Don't be angry, not angry at all!"
Ke'er ate very happily, but bitter the man at the next table.
"Look at how generous people are, look at your stinginess! Hum! Don't even think about entering the house tonight! The woman flicked her sleeves and walked away with a grunt.
"Huh? Lady, don't be a lady! Wait for me! The man glanced back at Chu Xiaoyang, and wrote three words in his eyes, it's all your fault!
Chu Xiaoyang hugged his fists quite embarrassedly, he couldn't help his brother!
There was another round of applause, and everyone in the audience applauded.
"Come on, come on, if you want to think that what the old slave said is wonderful, you will reward some small money, and if you don't have it, you will give the old slave a cheer!"
Suddenly, there was a "color" sound in the building!
"Good, reward!" Chu Xiaoyang threw his hand, and the silver must have fallen steadily on the copper plate held by the children on the stage.
"This son is generous and quite heroic, and he will be either rich or expensive in the future, and he will soar. The old slave thanked this son here! The storyteller bowed.
Time always passed quickly, and before I knew it, an afternoon passed, the sky outside gradually darkened, and the two went out of the listening building. At night in the Wei Kingdom, a bright moon hung high in the sky, starry, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the entire capital.
The bustling crowd on the street, the hawkers began to shout and sell, a lively and joyful scene, it is really a paradise on earth. The fragrant food wafting in every house, the sound of pots and pans, and the laughter and joy of adults and children constitute a picture of happiness. Thousands of lights, red lanterns hung on both sides of the street, beautiful, worthy of the world's first city!
