Luoyang
Wang Erlang is busy in the porridge shop, these days, his life is quite good, with the money that Liu Chan gave him, he arranged the family property in the county, brought his mother and wife to the county, within a few days, he became a city person, in the mouth of his relatives, he also directly changed from San Lang to Wang Jun, and instantly became more promising than San Lang Wang Cheng.
For his own relatives, he did not treat them badly, he selected some smart children in the family, thinking that he would be able to take them with him in the future and help Liu Chan work together, for several poor relatives, he also helped repair the house, and became a good person in the mouth of the rural people, listening to the praise of others, looking at those admiring eyes, Erlang was very happy.
Still, he sells porridge here all day long, even if he doesn't need to do it anymore.
Because of his recent changes, there are a lot of people who came to cheer, Wang Erlang was busy, suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from a distance, it was unhurried towards his side, he recognized this person, this is his great benefactor Liu Chan, if it weren't for him, how could there be such a day now, Erlang suddenly rushed over.
"Meet Liu Jun!" , Erlang has a decent salute.
Liu Chan nodded, found a chair and sat down, and said, "You can get me some food first..."
"Okay!" , Wang Erlang hurriedly ran over, busy for a while, and put the meat porridge in front of Liu Chan, Liu Chan quickly ate it, Wang Erlang stood aside, looking at him with a smile, "I heard that Liu Jun was overjoyed, but the lowly people in the countryside did not dare to go to congratulate...", Wang Erlang said, but Liu Chan suddenly put down the meat porridge in his hand.
He let out a long sigh, as if the porridge had become tasteless.
Wang Erlang subconsciously felt that something was wrong, he looked at Liu Chan in front of him seriously, he was a little fatter than before, however, he found a suspicion, in such a hot weather, he was dressed tightly, and his neck was never exposed, Wang Erlang, who had some experience in this area, suddenly understood, as a person who came over, he didn't break these, but asked with a smile: "Liu Jun didn't know what he was looking for me for?" ”
He led the topic very well, and Liu Chan said: "I have built some pavilions and courtyards in the west of the city, and I have also contacted seven or eight shops, so that you can pack up tomorrow and move there. Because Wang Erlang was still in the stage of literacy, Liu Chan sent him someone to help him write the script, Wang Erlang said, that person remembers.
Erlang hurriedly said: "It's all ready, and the only ones that have been sorted out so far are "The Legend of Xiao Yong", "The Legend of the Champion", "The Legend of Duan Jiangping"..."
"Very good, you will go to the west of the city tomorrow, I will arrange for you, what about you, don't open this porridge shop, concentrate on practicing your script, when the time comes, I want you to be the first to play, and I will definitely shock everyone...", Liu Chan ordered seriously, Wang Erlang listened, kept nodding, and when Liu Chan finished speaking, he repeatedly promised that he would never lose face to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan nodded, and ate the porridge again very comfortably.
"Liu Jun, isn't it enough to have one of this storytelling courtyard? Why buy so many courtyards? ”
"Hehe, you don't understand, I bought another courtyard, which is full of goods, all kinds of goods, food, drink, use, everything, so that everyone in Luoyang will come to me to buy all kinds of items... You don't understand, anyway, follow me in the future, learn more, maybe you will be able to be self-reliant in the future..."
"I am willing to follow Liu Jun for the rest of my life, and I don't have to be self-reliant."
Liu Chan laughed.
With Liu Chan's instructions, Erlang didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly closed the store, returned home, and ignored the wife who came to inquire, so he locked himself directly in the inner room, took the book, and kept reciting, if he wants such a good life to continue, he has to work hard, and he will play the day after tomorrow.
The next day, he took the belongings of the porridge and a few children of the family, and came to the Pingxiang in the west of the city, the four large courtyards outside the alley were bought by Liu Chan, it can be seen that Liu Chan's wealth is abundant, Liu Chan has already arranged for someone to receive him, after Erlang arrived, these slaves came over and helped them into the back kitchen, and the children of the Wang family will be busy in the back kitchen in the future.
Wang Erlang looked at this courtyard, inside and out, there are Hu chairs and tables, the inside is more luxurious, there are separate wings, the interior is very exquisite, there are green trees everywhere, and there are even several rockeries, Wang Erlang has never seen such a luxurious compound, in addition, the scale is very huge, the two courtyards are connected, and the servants are busy everywhere.
During this period, Liu Chan did not come in person, however, there was an old man who was in the courtyard all day long, pointing fingers and instructing everyone, Wang Erlang had the heart to make friends with him, so he took advantage of the time to eat together, found him, sat next to the old man, he asked with a smile: "I intend to make friends with the old man, I don't know the old man's surname?" ”
"The surname is Liu..", the old man said a little arrogantly.
"It turned out to be the surname of God!" , Wang Erlang hurriedly complimented.
The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm just the steward of Sikong Mansion, you can't say that, my family head and the young family master are the heavenly surnames!" Wang Erlang sneered and said: "I call me Wang Jie, the second oldest in the family, and my husband calls me Erlang." The steward listened, oh, and asked, "You are Wang Erlang?" ”
"My husband knows me?"
"The young master once ordered, you come with me later."
"Respectfully!"
After eating, Wang Erlang followed the old man and came to a high platform, Wang Erlang couldn't help but be a little nervous, and in front of him, it was full of seats, and even some pavilions on the top were also facing his direction, the old man caught him up on the stage, and put a strange thing in front of him, Wang Erlang had never seen it, the old man said: "You can start to say, say it a few more times, and you must not make a mistake tomorrow!" ”
Wang Erlang took a deep breath, looked at the empty surroundings, and began his story.
"In the year of Xiping, Guishan was vicious, and sometimes there were merchants who escorted the strange pearls presented by the king of Anxi, and sent them to Luoyang, but along the way, the king of Guishan knew about it...", I have to say that Wang Erlang is really talented in this area, and he danced and narrated, and soon attracted a large number of slaves and maids, and even the old man listened to it with relish below.
Wang Erlang talked for half an hour, drank water a few times during the period, and was about to continue, but the old man suddenly shouted: "No need! The old man's voice directly interrupted Wang Erlang's story, and many of the rising slaves who listened to it looked at him with displeasure, the old man didn't pay attention, Wang Erlang hurriedly walked down and asked, "But where is the story bad?" ”
"It's not bad, it's great, I'm afraid that if you continue to say this, your voice won't be able to make a sound tomorrow, go and rest, just memorize it!"
"Respectfully!"
"By the way, the back kitchen, serve Erlang some good meals!" , the old man shouted.
On the third day after Liu Chan and Wang Erlang met, early in the morning, the courtyard opened the gate, at that moment, the guests were already rushing in, and Wang Erlang was a little frightened. This is what Wang Erlang didn't dare to think, Liu Chan still didn't appear, but there were more and more visitors.
The drinks and meals came up one by one, and the steward arranged for the dancers to come on the stage first, which won a round of applause.
In the midst of such a noise, suddenly, the main owner appeared, but Liu Chan was not the previous arrogant appearance, he lowered his head and followed behind the two old men, as soon as these two old men appeared, many people in the entire courtyard bowed directly, one of them looked slightly similar to Liu Chan, Wang Erlang also recognized them, these two are not their old customers? ?
Could it be that they are also big shots?
Wang Erlang's heart trembled, the two sat on the top seat, Liu Chan could only sit behind them, and the three of them didn't know what they were talking about.
Finally, it was Wang Erlang's turn to play, in the puzzled eyes of everyone, Wang Erlang walked up to the high platform step by step, looked at everyone, bowed, took a deep breath, and then spoke, he looked at the many distinguished guests in front of him, but his eyes did not fall on anyone, telling stories, dancing, and soon, the distinguished guests who originally felt inexplicable had been attracted by him.
Everyone looked at him curiously, and some of them were already fascinated by it.
And Wang Erlang also became more and more excited, and when he talked about the wonderful place, he couldn't help but roar, as if he saw it with his own eyes, everyone applauded, only Liu Chan, but he was seriously looking at the distinguished guests around him, most of these people came for the sake of his face, he had already invited them, looking at their appearance, obviously, such an unprecedented way successfully attracted them.
His father-in-law, as well as his father-in-law, are now clapping.
Well, that's good, as long as you succeed here, you can start your business, and it will get bigger and bigger!
Liu Chan thought about it in his heart, and finally, when Wang Erlang talked about the time when Taiwei Dong was in command of the expedition, he suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "If you want to know what will happen later, I hope to come tomorrow!" He bowed again, and walked off the stage, and everyone watched him leave with a puzzled face, and they were particularly indignant at his behavior of leaving when he said that it was wonderful, but the shopkeepers here were powerful, and they couldn't afford to provoke them.
Looking at the appearance of gritting teeth around him, Liu Chan blossomed happily in his heart.
Suddenly, Liu Bei tugged at his sleeve violently and pulled Liu Chan out of his dream.
"Father?"
"Call me the storyteller up there! How can I stop hearing the highlights?? ”
