Chapter 21: The Legend of the White Snake
Su Bai's explanation is not too clear, but this hall is full of knowledgeable people, so naturally he can understand, sure enough, according to Su Bai's method, it is very simple to calculate how many chickens and rabbits there are, and the affection in Lord Guo's eyes is no longer hidden, and even praised, Zhao Mingmei's big snot bubble is about to come out. Xue Changchun was still a little unwilling, but he didn't think of it, what else could he do to suppress this kid, Su Bai had already made some shadows for Xue Changchun, this kid, no matter what he did! It's a bit of a prickle!
This poetry meeting went very smoothly, when it was half dark and there was about to be a curfew, everyone dispersed, Fang Qingshan looked at Su Bai with only sympathy in his eyes, feeling a little strange, when he was leaving, Fang Qingshan walked in front of Su Bai and said: "Ugly Niu Virtuous Brother Dacai, this time I will study hard for my brother when I go back, and next time I will try my literary skills with my virtuous brother", Lord Guo smiled and said: "Okay, good, I saw two little talents today, whether it is heart or literature, they are the top among their peers, haha, the two deans have made great contributions", Zhao Ming and Xue Changchun didn't dare to say anything, but the joy in their eyes couldn't be hidden, holding a poetry meeting, wasn't it just for Lord Guo's words, but the intention of suppressing "Mingde Academy" was useless.
Back to the carriage, swaying yo yo to "Mingde College", sitting in the car Zhao Ming finally didn't have to suppress his pride, haha laughed, Zhao Yue'er's eyes also narrowed into crescents, Niu Huanxi did not come back with the three of them, and lived at home tonight, Zhao Ming said happily: "This time, the old man Xue lost his wife and broke the army, hahaha, he made us a wedding dress for nothing", Su Bai couldn't pretend to be a handsome boy just now, a Ge You was paralyzed on the carriage, and the corners of Zhao Ming's mouth twitched.
Su Bai yawned comfortably and said, "But I'm tired", Zhao Ming snorted and said, "Can you look like a literati?" Let people see your appearance, and the next day the whole Chang'an will know that today's new talent is a little ruffian who doesn't stand or sit." Su Bai shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Isn't it that there are no outsiders", Zhao Ming sighed helplessly, for the sake of his long face today, let him indulge it once.
Back at Qunxian Fang, the students didn't sleep, they were all waiting at the door, Su Bai was surprised: "Everyone came to greet us?" A student said angrily: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would tell a new story today?" Why did you come back so late? Su Bai's face twitched, it turned out that he wasn't waiting for himself.... After all the students saw Zhao Ming and Zhao Yue'er, they instantly recovered to the appearance of good babies, and bowed in unison and said, "The teacher is hard, and the senior sister is hard." Zhao Ming laughed, as if he hadn't heard what they said just now, it didn't matter who greeted him, he just came anyway.
Zhao Ming was in a very good mood today, and after encouraging the students, he went to the backyard, and today he had to talk to his wife about how he and the ugly cow fought with the crowd. Zhao Yue'er is a woman, naturally she can't mess around with Su Bai and them at night, and she also followed Zhao Ming back to the back house.
Everyone pushed Su Bai to the stool and sat down and said: "Hurry, I've been waiting for so long, I said that there is a new story today, hurry up", Su Bai coughed dryly, and stretched out his right hand very beautifully, the students were stunned, and reacted randomly, gritting their teeth for ten cents per person, the money they brought at home has almost gone into Su Bai's pocket in the past few days, but unfortunately there is no way, who made the story so good.
During the period, there is one more thing to say, that is, Su Bai and Wang Fugui's plan has been shattered, first, the storyteller they invited has no skills, and the language is also blunt, and second, his teahouse is originally a place to talk about things, and there is a person who mutters vigorously on the side.
Su Bai happily accepted the money, coughed dryly and said: "Today I will tell you a new story, the name of the story is called "The Legend of the White Snake", it is said that somewhere in ancient times, someone took snake catching as a profession, the snake catcher is very experienced, as long as it is the snake he likes, almost no can escape from the palm of his hand, it is said that the snake catcher went up the mountain to catch the snake that day, and met a white one more than four feet long. At this time, a shepherd boy who was herding cattle passed by with a bamboo flute, and when he saw that the white snake was pitiful, he exchanged the bamboo flute in his hand for the white snake in the snake catcher's hand......"
The students listened to it fascinated, and even felt that this kind of mythical story was much better than those fighting and killing, hearing that the white snake actually turned into a beauty, the students' eyes were shining, I don't know what ..... came to mind, Su Bai didn't talk much today, until the West Lake borrowed an umbrella, when the students heard that Bai Suzhen took the initiative to 'hook up' Xu Xian, his face was red with excitement and his neck was thick, Su Bai was really curious, if he told them something inappropriate for children at this time, would they burst blood vessels!
Su Bai found that this kind of mythical love story seemed to be more popular in Datang, and then he figured out that the most important thing in Datang was war, and he had long been numb to these things of fighting and killing, but this kind of mythical love was yearning. And people at this time are relatively superstitious, and they are elated to hear this kind of half-taboo thing.
Su Bai, a person who loves money like his life, of course, didn't follow up until he told a story, and he didn't talk until Xu Xian asked for a kiss, and then the students' reactions were violent, and they asked Su Bai to continue, Su Bai said: "It's so late, don't you sleep yet?" I have to go to class tomorrow", the students became noisy.
"Classes are put on the back burner"
"yes, keep talking"
"Yes, it's okay to add money."
Su Bai's eyes lit up when he heard the addition of money, and he forcibly suppressed his heart that longed for money, and put a long line to catch a big fish, giving Wang Fat Man a retreating expression, and Wang Fat Man stood up and cut off Su Bai's back, and the fat man stood at the door, and any door could be blocked. It doesn't matter what the students behind him are noisy and shouting, there is no way, it is so capricious! After returning to the room, Wang Fatzi sighed and said, "You said that our plan is also perfect, why can't it work?" Why is it that the story you tell is so good, but the gentleman I invited at home can't? ”。
Su Bai couldn't figure out what was going on, so he laid out his luggage and asked, "Have you heard what your husband said?" Wang Fugui shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of it, I gave him the book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I will go back to the academy", Su Bai smiled: "Wait for this college to rest, you will know if you go back and listen to it", Wang Fatzi nodded, and also felt that this was a good way.
Su Bai became popular, and it became popular the next day, but it was not the literary name that was popular, but "White Fox", and I don't know if it was passed out by Xiao Er, or by the guest, "White Fox" became popular at a terrifying transmission speed, and the number of Su Bai's fans has skyrocketed at a very exaggerated speed in the past two days. Whether it is a scholar or a beggar, they are all crying after listening to "White Fox". On the Qinglou painting boat, the song "White Fox" that Su Bai sang that day became the favorite of countless Qinglou or operas, if he couldn't sing two sentences, he was embarrassed to say hello to others. Everyone also knows that there is a talented storyteller in "Middlebury College". Su Bai's affair with Fang Qingshan that day was also told by the celebrities, and Su Bai's name became even louder, and there were countless people who came to "Mingde College" to watch Su Bai in the past two days.
Handed over the name post, gave gifts, and even came to the door to propose, Su Bai couldn't bear the pain and refused to accept them all, when he refused those gold and silver beads, his heart seemed to be pierced by a knife, there was no way, he wanted to maintain his image as a master, but he didn't know that his greed for money had already been publicized by the students of the students...
In the past two days, it is Wang Xing's family who wants to say that he is happy, his family's mutton soup in the past two days is famous, and several shop owners want to buy the secret recipe of his mutton soup, all of which let Wang Liu scold him, joking that this secret recipe can be passed on to future generations, how can it be sold for a few dollars of silver? Su Bai has not made less money in the past two days, Wang Xing plans to take care of the two of them, and now the two of them are a little too busy.
Erniu's little face has also gained weight in the past two days, Wang Xing's family plans to send Erniu to the academy in the spring next year, Su Bai has already said hello to Zhao Ming, Su Bai is walking on the road now, everyone will say, this is Su Dacai of "Mingde College", Wenqu Xing is down. Su Bai, a stinky person, of course, wanders around the streets, and has a good addiction.
Wang Liu also deliberately returned to Huangniu Village, described Su Bai's matter to the women in the village, and asked them to say that their son was a fool to see if they could be slapped in the face this time.
......
"Phew, these fools, I'm so angry", this day the academy was closed, Su Bai came to Wang Xing's stall to help, Wang Xing didn't let him, Su Bai could only sit on the table next to him and watch the couple busy. When he was drinking mutton soup and thinking about how to make more money, Wang Fatzi shouted and 'ran' over, and sat on the small bench, the bench creaked and creaked, bearing the weight that he couldn't bear at this age!
Wang Xing also knew Su Bai's roommate, and came over with a bowl of mutton soup with a smile and said, "Fugui, aren't you resting today?" Why are you so free? Wang Fatzi got up politely and said: "Thank you uncle, I have long been hungry for your mutton soup" said that he took the mutton soup and put it on the table, picked up the spoon inside and took a sip, Wang Xing smiled: "You two chat, I'm going to be busy", Wang Fatzi said: "Tired uncle", Wang Xing patted Wang Fatzi on the shoulder, returned to the stove and continued to be busy, Su Bai stared at the sheep soup on the table and said: "Sanwen", Wang Fatzi took another sip, a little intoxicated, heard Su Bai speak and asked in surprise: "What Sanwen?" ”
