Chapter Eighty-Three: A Layer of Window Paper
Zhou wants to listen to the book, Shen Xi tries every means to stop it, now Shen Mingjun's career is still in its infancy, and he is not on the right track, once Zhou obstructs it, it will be tantamount to abandoning his previous achievements.
However, Shen Xi thought about it again, Zhou should be happy to know that her husband has the ability to do it outside, and he can't stop it, can he still make money by sending the silver in vain to his eyes?
But the problem is that this layer of window paper has not been pierced, Shen Mingjun has been hiding from the Zhou family for his side business, the most important trust between this husband and wife, once it is directly broken, there is not even a buffer.
For the sake of family harmony, Shen Xi felt that it was better not to be exposed.
"Mother, what's so good about books? Is "Dream of Red Mansions" as I said good? Let's not go, the night is dark and the wind is high, it would be bad if there were any crutches coming out, and my father was not around, how could we do without a man around us......"
Zhou disagreed: "Go and listen to a book, and it's still in the city, what's not to do...... Now that the thieves outside the city have been pacified, you see that Dalang and Liulang have safely arrived at the school two days ago, what are we afraid of when we go out? It's not the middle of the night to come back, the head watch is over, take advantage of the end of the crowd to go together, what can go wrong? ”
"Mother, my stomach hurts a little, if you want to go, wait until tomorrow."
Shen Xi saw that it was useless to be reasonable, so he had to use some means, he expected that he was not in good health, and Zhou would not sit idly by. Who knew that Zhou seemed to be determined to listen to the story, frowning: "If your stomach hurts, you stay at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere at night, Dai'er and I will go with your grandparents and them." "Intoxicated chapter & section small. Say it's in the hey ~ smoke ~ grid
Shen Xi really couldn't help it, after returning home, he wanted to find an opportunity to sneak out and report to Shen Mingjun, but Zhou asked him to go to the kitchen to burn the fire and add firewood, Shen Xi finally slipped out of the air, and bumped into Hui Niang with Lu Xi'er to the courtyard, but she knew that Shen Mingjun was not at home, so she came to visit the door.
"Aunt Sun, my mother said that she wanted to listen to a book, but now that the weather is not warm, going to listen to a book may make Xi'er frostbite." Shen Xi couldn't convince the old lady, so he had to start with Hui Niang.
Hui Niang smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I specially added clothes for Xi'er, and you can wear two more when you go out." You don't know, these days, I always hear people who come to buy medicine talk about listening to books in the tea shop, and it's rare that people are open at night now, so it's a pity that we don't open our eyes. It's not good to be stuffy at home all the time, don't you say? ”
Hui Niang has a warm smile on her face, and it seems that she is yearning for listening to books. During the Chinese New Year, Hui Niang once mentioned that she didn't have a chance to listen to "Yang Jiajiang" when it was spread in the city last year, but now that she has the opportunity to see it with her own eyes, she is unwilling to give up, and it is Shen Xi who gave up the idea of persuading her.
Finally after dinner, the two families, together with the three maids, collectively set out to the direction of the tea shop in the city, and many people on the road were also rushing to the tea shop, as if the city was watching a play during the festival.
But Shen Xi knows that storytelling is very different from watching a play, no matter how loud the storyteller is, all he can hear is an area near the storyteller, and when he goes to the play, many times he does not listen to what people sing, but looks at the tricks and styles on the stage, as well as the appearance of the ugly at the end of life, even if it is far away, it can be seen as a general meaning.
Ning'er, who was tall and heavy in the group, walked in front with a lantern, if it wasn't very dark today, the lantern was not lit, but it was needed when he went back.
Zhou held Shen Xi in one hand and Lin Dai in the other, afraid that the two small roads would be lost, but Lu Xi'er was carried by Xiu'er, happily, singing the minor tune taught to her by Hui Niang all the way, which was very beautiful. The little girl's family rarely has the opportunity to come out and play with the family, even if it is dark now, she is happy wherever she goes.
Shen Xi only hoped that his father would not come out of the store, so that he would have time to go in and inform, anyway, the Zhou family didn't recognize Han Wuye and the guys in the tea shop, as long as Shen Mingjun didn't show up, the window paper would not be pierced.
When I finally arrived at the place, the black pressure in front of me was full of people.
Shen Xi didn't expect that the tea shop would have such a sensational effect, and the people in the city had nothing to do after dinner, and when they heard that there were books to listen to, they simply dragged their families out, both adults and children brought a small bench, so it didn't cost money to sit down and listen to it far away, so people in the small half of the city came to listen to free books.
The more people there are, the more relieved Shen Xi becomes, which means that the tea shop is crowded, and once Dad is busy, he will not have the opportunity to go outside, so he will avoid meeting with Zhou.
On the street on the bank of the Xixi River, looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Zhou sighed: "There are so many people here, I knew that we would also bring a few stools, now let's see if we can squeeze in, if there are seats in the tea shop, it is the best, we don't listen to the white book, what should be done." ”
Shen Xi hurriedly said, "Mother, what's the good of getting closer?" It also costs money...... You see, you can listen to it casually outside. ”
"Xiaolang, don't save money for Aunt Sun."
Hui Niang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "This time, I said that I invited your mother to listen to the book together, if we don't spend any money, what do people live on?" My sister said yes? ”
Zhou nodded and said, "This stinky boy just likes to raise the bar, can't we even afford to eat a few cups of tea?" Let's go, eat a few more cups of tea from him, will we make your aunt poor to eat? ”
When the whole family laughed and laughed when they reached the place outside the tea shop near the door, it was already difficult to move one step forward.
At this time, Song Xiaocheng and the two guys who had just arrived were arranging a bench outside, which was specially prepared by the tea shop for the night show, sitting on the bench to listen to a book, even if there was no tea supply, it would cost four yuan, but if you want to listen inside, the price will have to be doubled.
Hui Niang saw that the tea shop was full of people, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that we came late, otherwise we would have heard it more clearly when we went inside." ”
While talking, Hui Niang and Zhou beckoned the family to sit on the bench, the adults held the children, and the three maids sat on both sides to prevent anyone from coming over to make a fuss.
Shen Xi sat next to Lin Dai, looked up at the tea shop, the lights were a little dim, but he could vaguely see Shen Mingjun and Han Wuye were busy moving the desk, and at this time he could only pray in his heart not to let the Zhou family notice.
Not long after the family sat down, the whole street was already filled with people who came one after another.
Ninghua County is located in a remote area, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 residents in the city, and there are few entertainment activities on weekdays, so it is extremely rare to gather together like this, and this is also the second time that Shen Xi has seen so many people gathered together in the city at the same time after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
After collecting money next to the seat, the night storytelling finally began, and the outside of the tea shop was quiet.
In order to let more people hear the content of his story, Han Wuye took out the simple megaphone prepared by Shen Xi in advance, so that when he said the story, he only needed to talk about the content well, and even the expressions and movements of ordinary storytellers were omitted.
"Huh?"
Just when Han Wuye was greeting everyone, Hui Niang looked at Shen Mingjun walking in the room, and said with some surprise, "The shopkeeper inside seems to be the one in my sister's house." ”
Zhou Shi stood up when she heard this, and took a look inside, the distance was too far, and the light was dim, so she didn't see it very really, and quickly sat down with the sound of coaxing behind her, she shook her head and said to Zhou with a smile: "Where does he have that ability?" I'm still working in the Wang family, and I won't come back today. ”
Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, this first level has finally passed. The rest is up to him to find an excuse to go in through the back door of the tea shop in the name of stomach trouble or peeing.
