Chapter 113: Cuiwei Building
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
In front of Cuiwei Building.
Duhe came here.
Du He stood in front of the building, looking up at the few big characters of Cuiwei Building, as well as the small building in front of him.
Looking in from the gate, I saw that the yard was crowded, so it was not lively.
Voices of applause could be faintly heard from inside.
It was his first time in this place.
I saw Du He standing in place, holding a folding fan in his right hand, shaking it gently, which was indeed a little attractive, and even the women passing by on the street couldn't help but cast a look at him.
The old man stood aside, like a standard dog's leg, pointed to a few big characters in Cuiweilou, and introduced: "Young master, this Cuiweilou is said to be the house of a prince in the Great Sui Dynasty, and then it was scrapped, and was bought by a businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, made a teahouse, and added a lot of houses, which have been repaired several times, and now, it has become the largest teahouse in our Chang'an City...... In fact, this Cuiwei Building is still the most famous Bojun people in Chang'an City, among them, there is Wang Zhengsheng, the Bojun people, and the words of these two people are the most famous in Chang'an City. ”
Du He came to this Cuiwei Building today for Bojun people.
Bojunren, also known as the speaker, is actually the storyteller of later generations. To speak, that is, to tell a story.
Storytelling became popular after the Song Dynasty, and the four famous books were originally storytellers.
But in this era, there is already a prototype of storytelling, but it has just developed and has not yet taken shape.
The title of Bojun people comes from Bojun's smile, which means that the profession of these people is to tell some ghost legends and bizarre stories for everyone after tea and dinner, and make everyone happy.
As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City can be described as very prosperous, and this entertainment activity is naturally indispensable, so the form of listening to talk is the most popular in Chang'an.
Du He put away the fan: "Let's go, go in and have a look!" ”
When I walked to the door, two guards greeted me with a smile: "This salary, the rules of Cuiwei Building, you must pay the money first when you enter the door." ”
Duhe asked, "How much?" ”
The little guy said: "A penny, son, as long as a penny, you can stay for half a day." Of course, if you want to drink tea or have a snack, you will need to order another one. ”
Duhe nodded.
A penny is not expensive, but it can also make many people reluctant to enter.
If you don't charge a penny, many people probably go in just to listen and talk, and they won't order anything at all.
Du He, Lao Fu, Lu Bu, the three of them paid three cents and walked into the door.
When I walked in, I saw that the courtyard was already full of people.
In front of everyone, there was a platform more than one person high, and a middle-aged man in a robe was standing on the platform and was talking hard.
Directly below the platform, there were several tables with them, and a few people dressed in silk and satin sat and listened leisurely.
To Duhe's surprise, sitting under the buttocks of these people was the carousel chair made by the furniture factory.
Looking at the upstairs all around, there are all revolving wooden chairs, to say the least there are twenty.
Du He asked curiously: "Who is the shopkeeper of this Cuiwei Building?" How can you buy so many carousel chairs from a furniture factory? ”
The old man smiled: "Young master, if you want to say, the shopkeeper of this Cuiwei Building is just a small businessman, and he is not qualified to order furniture from the furniture factory, but recently, we have found that many people buy a carousel chair and sell it at a high price. ”
This is something that Du He never thought of before.
The carousel chair is so popular?
It seems that we need to speed up production!
As he spoke, the old man had already ordered some snacks and tea, and under the guidance of a small servant, the three of them went to the second floor and sat down.
After sitting down, Duhe had no interest in tea.
On the contrary, it was the old man, who drank the dark food, and he looked satisfied.
At this time, I saw that the middle-aged man who was talking on the stage had already walked down and changed into a young man in a gray robe.
This young man is thin, in his twenties, with extremely high cheekbones, and he looks a little heroic.
As soon as the young people took the stage, the atmosphere in the audience immediately became enthusiastic.
Du He took a closer look, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law, who were still sitting and dozing off, sat up straight for a moment, and looked at the young man with a pink face.
"Ah, Wang Zhengsheng, Wang Zhengsheng has finally come out!"
"I haven't seen him in a few days, but I didn't expect him to speak to us today!"
"I feel like Wang Zhengsheng has lost some weight!"
"Wang Zhengsheng is so handsome!"
Du He stopped the chatter around him, and he was speechless in his heart.
I didn't expect Datang to have a star chaser.
And the same brain-dead is incorrigibly dead.
The old man pointed to the young man and introduced: "Young master, he is Wang Zhengsheng, a famous speaker in Chang'an City. It is said that Biyuelou invited him to speak with a lot of money, but he refused, and after it was spread, everyone thought that Wang Zhengsheng had backbone, and many women in the boudoir to be married would quietly come to listen to him tell stories. ”
When Du He heard this, he said in his heart, he didn't expect that this Wang Zhengsheng was so young that he had such a ability, so he had to listen to it today.
I saw Wang Zhengsheng walking to the stage, and there was no extra greeting, and he spoke directly: "Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, has been panting all his life, and today we will talk about the story of the Gaozu White Snake Uprising." ”
Good guys, as soon as you open your mouth, everyone in the audience starts screaming.
The applause was incessant.
It's enough to prove how popular this guy is!
In Du He's opinion, this Wang Zhengsheng is so popular, he can't help but have some ability.
First of all, the handsomeness of life, especially the thin figure, standing on the stage, as if they were going to fall down at any time, many cardamom girls saw it, but they were afraid that they were distressed to death.
Secondly, as soon as this guy speaks, the words are correct and round, and the voice is magnetic and naturally attractive.
It's just that the story of Gaozu's White Snake uprising is average.
Popular in this era, but for Du He, who began reading fairy tales at the age of five, the story told by Wang Zhengsheng was too bland, like flowing water, flat and straightforward, without any suspense, without many ups and downs, compared with the story of Gaozu beheading the White Snake Uprising that he had read before, people would not have much expectation.
"It seems that the storytelling level of this Datang is nothing more than that!"
"Just let Young Master Ben test the water......"
Du He said with a smile.
The old man took out a copy of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" printed in the printing room of the furniture factory, suddenly widened his eyes, and said, "Young master, you don't want to tell Wang Zhengsheng about this book, right?" ”
Yesterday evening, Du He handed over the book to the old man, and asked the old man to take the book to accompany him to Cuiwei Building early this morning.
Who knows, the old man accidentally turned a few pages, and he was out of control, lit the oil lamp and saw it in the middle of the night, this morning Du He asked Lu Bu to pick him up, otherwise this old boy is estimated to be able to sleep until the afternoon.
