Chapter 283: Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Five young girls wearing cheongsams walked into the backyard of Quanjude, and the guests in the lobby looked at their graceful backs disappearing, and they were all a little stunned.

At this time, the middle-aged man on the high platform slapped the wooden block in his hand vigorously.

"Smack!"

Everyone woke up and looked at the high platform.

The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said slowly:

"Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.

Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and merged into Han.

The Han Dynasty revolted from Gaozu beheading the white snake and dominated the world, and later Guangwu Zhongxing, passed to Emperor Xian, and was divided into three kingdoms. The reason for the chaos began with the two emperors of Huan and Ling.

Emperor Huan imprisoned the good and believed in eunuchs. and Emperor Huan collapsed, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and the generals Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other. From time to time, eunuchs such as Cao Jie seized power, Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to punish them, but they were not secret, but they were harmed, and Zhongjuan became more and more horizontal since then.

In April of the second year of Jianning, the emperor Wende Palace. Fang ascended to the throne, and the wind in the corner of the temple suddenly rose. I saw a big green snake, flying down from the beam and resting on the chair. The emperor was shocked, and he rushed into the palace left and right, and all the officials ran to avoid it. Suddenly, the snake was gone. Suddenly, there was heavy thunder and rain, and hail, and it fell until midnight, and there were countless houses destroyed.

In February of the fourth year of Jianning, Luoyang earthquake; and the sea overflowed, and the inhabitants of the coast were swept into the sea by the great waves. In the first year of light and harmony, the hen turned into a male. In June, more than ten feet of black gas flew into the Wende Palace. In autumn and July, there is a rainbow in the jade hall; The banks of the five plains are all cracked. All kinds of ominousness are not limited to one end.

The emperor asked the ministers to use the disaster as a reason, and Cai Yong was sparse, thinking that the dragon's degeneration was caused by the women's temple's interference, and his words were quite straightforward. Emperor Lan sighed, because of the change of clothes. Cao Jie peeked behind him, announcing left and right; So he was condemned to sin and released into the field.

Later, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were treacherous and were called 'Ten Standing Servants'. The emperor believed in Zhang Rang and called him 'Father'. The government is in turmoil, so that the people of the world are in turmoil, and thieves are swarming. ”

The storyteller spoke eloquently, not slowly, just right. Cui Daoshu saw that everyone was listening carefully, and his expression was very focused. Including Li Yu and Zhou Ehuang, the rest of Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Zhu Miao, Chen Zhiyong, Shu Ya and other famous talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and the leaders of the literary world were fascinated by it.

Cui Daoshu saw that only Qi Jiuniang was standing behind Emperor Zhou E boredly, playing with her nails, so he quietly walked over and stabbed her.

Qi Jiuniang looked back and saw Cui Daoshu, a little weak-hearted, so she smiled charmingly and secretly sent Qiu Bo to him.

Cui Daoshu shook his head helplessly, pointed to a private room, and walked towards that private room. Qi Jiuniang hurriedly followed.

Cui Daoshu entered the private room and found that there was no one inside, and the man had already removed all the remaining seats, and the house was cleaned.

He sat down and asked, "Jiu Niang, what did the queen mother tell you just now?" ”

Qi Jiuniang sat down next to Cui Daoshu, hugged his arm and said, "Childe, the queen mother began to ask me about the cheongsam, and I said that it was made by the tailor of our Cui family." She also wanted to get a few cheongsams to wear and asked me where I could buy them. ”

"How did you answer?"

"The slave family said that there must be something for sale in the Cao family's shop, and if the queen mother needs it, the slave family can tell Cao Deshun and ask him to send someone to send the cheongsam into the palace. The queen was very happy to hear this, and rewarded the slave family with a jade bracelet. ”

Qi Jiuniang raised her arm and pulled up her sleeves, revealing her white arm. She wore a bracelet carved from mutton fat white jade on her wrist, which was crystal clear and shining in the sun.

Qi Jiuniang stretched out her wrist in front of Cui Daoshu as if offering a treasure, and asked triumphantly: "Childe, how is this jade bracelet?" Not bad, right? ”

Cui Daoshu observed carefully for a while, and then said: "The things that the queen mother carries with her must be high-quality products. This jade bracelet is in very good condition, I guess it can be worth thousands of times. ”

Qi Jiuniang was very surprised, she didn't expect that Emperor Zhou E would be so generous, and he actually rewarded herself with a jade bracelet worth thousands of yuan.

Cui Daoshu said to Qi Jiuniang: "Jiuniang, you are kind and simple-minded. I'm afraid that the queen will talk to you, and you will tell some secrets of our Qishan Island unintentionally. ”

Qi Jiuniang shook her head and said: "Son, please rest assured, the slave family is not stupid at all, the queen mother did talk to me for a while later, she asked me, where do we live, and the slave family said that we all live in the Cui family manor in Mingzhou."

She inquired about the origins of several brothers, and the slave family made her up nonsense, bluffing her into a daze.

Childe, isn't the slave family very powerful? ”

Qi Jiuniang hugged Cui Daoshu's arm and began to be coquettish. Cui Daoshu was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly stood up and said:

"I'll go out and have a look, I guess the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about to finish, so you can rest here for a while."

Qi Jiuniang pouted and stopped talking, Cui Daoshu smiled and touched her hair, then turned around and went out.

He walked to the railing on the second floor and heard the storyteller say:

The three of them rescued Dong Zhuo and returned to the village. Zhuo asked the three of them where they lived. Xuande said: 'White body. 'It is very light, and it is not polite. Xuande came out, Zhang Fei was furious and said: "I waited for my relatives to go to the bloody battle and saved this guy, but he was so rude." If you don't kill him, it's hard to get rid of my anger! Then he had to carry a knife into the account to kill Dong Zhuo. Exactly: human snobbery is still in the past, who knows that heroes are white? Ande is as fast as Yide, and he punishes the negative people in the world! After all, what is Dong Zhuo's life, and listen to the following breakdown. ”

The storyteller bowed deeply to the audience, then turned around and got off the high stage, leaving without looking back.

The audience was still immersed in it, seeing that the storyteller was gone, and those scholar-born officials held their own identities and did not say anything. But some of the merchants shouted:

"Don't go! I'm not done yet! ”

"What's going on?"

"Dong Zhuo is not dead? Come back and make it clear! ”

Seeing this, Cao Deshun hurriedly walked up to the high platform, arched his hand with a smile and said:

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to Cao."

The audience gradually quieted down, and Cao Deshun continued: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a total of 120 times, and the story describes the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the chaos in the world, and the division of the princes.

Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor, supported the emperor, and took charge of the government alone. Cao Cao joined forces with various princes to defeat Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was later killed by Lü Bu. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to welcome the emperor to move the capital to Xuchang, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the first battle of Guandu and unified the north.

Liu Bei, who had gone through several setbacks, finally got Zhuge Liang to help him, and then united with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and defeated Cao Cao in a battle of Chibi, forming a situation of three parts of the world.

Later, in order to recapture Jingzhou, Sun Quan formed an alliance with Cao Cao. Liu Bei was difficult to defeat Sun Cao's coalition army, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also died in battle, Liu Bei died of illness in the White Emperor City, and was lonely in Zhuge Liang on his deathbed.

Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan to recover the Central Plains, but unfortunately died of illness in the end. The latter lord was weak and incompetent, and was finally destroyed by the Sima clan. After the death of Cao Rui, the power fell into the hands of the Sima clan, and Sima Yan deposed the Wei Emperor and established the Jin Dynasty. After the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, the Three Kingdoms were unified.

Ladies and gentlemen, this story is so long that I estimate that it will take more than four months to tell it once a day. Please be patient, come to Quanjude to listen to the story. ”

A wealthy businessman stood up and said: "The master of the Cao family is really calculating, we come here every day to listen to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and you will make a fortune!" Hahaha! ”

The people in the lobby laughed, saying that Cao Deshun was hanging everyone's appetite, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was bait, and they wanted everyone to come and listen to the story every day.

An official stood up and said, "Mr. Cao, we are going to the Yamen during the day to handle official business, can you put the time for storytelling at night?" ”

Cao Deshun replied: "We have a total of several storytellers in Quanjude, and after opening every day, we start to talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" until it closes. These storytellers take turns on stage to tell the story, and no matter what time of day they come, they will listen to them all. ”

Only then did everyone understand that Quanjude had already thought it through, and no matter when they came to Quanjude for dinner, they would hear the storyteller talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Cao Deshun continued: "Everyone, we also have an interesting activity, and I hope you can actively participate. ”

"What's the activity? What are the benefits for those who attend? ”

Cao Deshun took out a golden card and said loudly: "This card is Quanjude's gold card." Whoever has this card can eat unlimited in Quanjude, eat several meals a day, and we are welcome to come every day. ”

Someone asked, "So does this gold card have an expiration date?" Let's say five years, ten years. Twenty years? ”

Cui Daoshu replied: "There is no deadline, as long as Quanjude opens, the gold card is valid, and cardholders can come to eat at any time." ”

"Is there a limit to the number of people?"

"Each person can bring three people to eat, and the extra people will have to pay."

Everyone thinks about it and thinks that this is also a matter of course, and you can't bring dozens or hundreds of people to eat with cardholders, and put Quanjude out of business.

A merchant eagerly asked, "Old Cao, how can I get the gold card?" ”

Cao Deshun said loudly: "We have an activity, that is, we Quanjude out a couplet, if anyone can be the first to come up, you can have this gold card." ”

One official asked, "Then who will judge?" You can't all judge it, right? ”

Li Yu stood up, walked to the railing, and said loudly: "The widow is here to judge, what else do you have to say?" ”

When everyone saw Li Yu coming out, they stopped talking.

Several people who were anxious shouted one after another: "Hurry up and get out of the couplet, the gold card is mine." ”

Cao Deshun smiled and waved to the second floor.

Next to the railing opposite Li Yu and Zhou Ehuang, there were two men, and when they saw Cao Deshun's gesture, they hurriedly opened a roll of silk and threw the end of the silk cloth out of the railing.
