Chapter 80: Elegant or Vulgar
After the store is completed, the matter of opening a store has entered the stage of actual surname, which is much more difficult than buying a store. After inspecting the market, some of Xie Hong's original ideas felt that they were not applicable, so he had to consider new methods. So after leaving the teahouse, Xie Hong was also frowning and sighing along the way.
"Brother Xie, are you worrying about the two brothers and sisters?"
After going through so many things, Ma Wentao and Xie Hong are already very close, and seeing Xie Hong's troubles, he does not shy away from Steward Dong, and directly asks each other. He felt that this deal was extremely cost-effective, even if Xie Hong liked that Ma Ling'er, he shouldn't spend money like this, 1,300 taels of silver, even if he was hired directly, it was enough, why go around such a big circle?
"Uh, what's there to worry about the two of them? Brother Ma, if I see it well, their attainments in music are not low. ”
"Is it possible, Brother Xie, do you really want to open a store?" Ma Wentao was taken aback, obviously he has walked around today, and people who don't know business should also understand, isn't it pure nonsense to open a store on the west side of the street?
"Of course, didn't we just talk about it when we were in Beizhuang County?" Xie Hong asked rhetorically as a matter of course, in his heart, opening a store and waiting for Zhengde is the biggest goal, but this goal can't be explained to others, can he tell people that he knows that the emperor will definitely come to Xuanfu? Faced with the doubts of his companions, he had no choice but to pretend to be stupid.
"But ......" Ma Wentao thought for a long time, but he didn't say anything, because he believed that Xie Hong had become a habit, and when he encountered something, he first thought about whether he wanted to miss it, rather than questioning Xie Hong. Despite his incomprehension, he did not speak out to refute it, but instead brought up another topic.
"Then Brother Xie, what are you doing with a sad face? Could it be because of that Miss Ma......"
"If you talk about that Miss Ma, it's really good." This kind of topic is the most popular among men, and Dong Fatzi also got up when he heard it. "Dong has spent forty years in vain, and he can be regarded as well-informed, but it is the first time I have seen such a woman, especially if she is both talented and beautiful, it is really rare, that is, such a woman is worthy of a son."
Xie Hong was careless when he talked to Ma Wentao, but these two people suddenly talked about such a topic, so he didn't fall on his head, where is this! He hurriedly said: "Mr. Dong, Brother Ma, you have misunderstood, I don't have the slightest blasphemy towards that Miss Ma, you know, this son is a serious person." ”
"I know, I know, Gongzi Xie (brother) is the most serious." The two of them nodded together and said very considerately: "Anyway, everyone is at home, and it will be more convenient in the future." ”
"My son has nothing to say to you." Xie Hong rolled his eyes, very speechless, how can he think about women's affairs now, how many big things are waiting for him.
"If it weren't for Miss Ma, what else could it be?" Ma Wentao asked endlessly.
"Actually......" Xie Hong was annoyed by him, thinking that it would be better to discuss it, so he roughly explained his thoughts: "...... In terms of music, there are two brothers and sisters to help.,It shouldn't be a big problem.,It's just that I'm very difficult to tell the story.,A lot of stories have been told.,It's not so easy to get a new one.。 ”
"It's not easy." Ma Wentao laughed and said, "Brother Xie, the story you said is much stronger than what we heard today. ”
"How is that possible?" Others don't know, Xie Hong knows very well in his heart that he used to tell stories to Qing'er before, and later Er Niu and Ma Wentao also joined the audience. Of course, he wouldn't tell those stories that were too advanced, so he told the novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West.
But he wasn't originally engaged in work, and wherever he remembered the text of the original book, the stories he told were just the plots in his memory, processed them in his own words, and then told them. But what I heard in several teahouses today is the original book, how can it be compared?
"Why not?" Ma Wentao asked rhetorically as a matter of course: "Let's take the commentary we heard today, what did that gentleman say?" Speaking of this, he paused slightly, let Xie Hong remember, and then repeated: "The Hebei army is like a wave splitting, and Guan Gongjing is running to Yan Liang...... Yan Liang was caught off guard, and was stabbed under the horse by Yun Chang with a knife in his hand......"
"That's right, right?"
Xie Hong nodded, although he didn't remember the details of the original work, the style of this commentary should be the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Brother Xie, do you remember what you said?" Ma Wentao has a tendency to become a chatterbox.
Guan Gong held a knife in his hand, his momentum skyrocketed, his eyes widened angrily, there is a saying: Guan Gong does not open his eyes, he will kill people when he opens his eyes...... Where had Yan Liang seen such a momentum, and in his eyes, he saw that the cold and glamorous saw like a flying rainbow in the sky, and the sword qi was like a torch, stabbing straight over, but he couldn't move at all...... Between the two horses, I saw that the invincible Yan Liang had turned into a corpse and fell under the horse, and all the soldiers were shocked. ”
"That's right, right?"
Xie Hong's face turned red, he couldn't remember the original book, so he had to tell it in a very vernacular way. I thought that if these famous works hadn't appeared, I would be able to take a lead, but the original books are all vernacular novels in this era, what is this? Vernacular within vernacular?
"Mr. Dong, you can comment on one or two, which of these two paragraphs is better?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Ma Wentao turned his head and asked Steward Dong again.
"Well," Steward Dong touched the fat on his chin, looking serious, "If it is for readers, of course, it is the gentlemen in the teahouse who say it well, and the writing in their words is quite good." It's just that if it is for ordinary people, it is Xie Gongzi's words, and after listening to this statement, the scene is like being in front of him. ”
"Mr. Dong, what you said is too exaggerated, right? That paragraph is just a casual talk I talked about, how can it be compared with Mr. Luo. Hearing him say this, Xie Hong was even more embarrassed, just as these two were complimenting themselves. Competing with the ancients, he has no confidence at all, and he is not a heavyweight at all.
"Gongzi Xie, you are too humble." Steward Dong shook his head, "Dong has also read the classics of the sage, how can he joke about such things?" Although the joke said by Childe is simple and does not pay attention to charm, it sounds like an image. Although the Ming Dynasty is generous to scholars, most of the people in the world are still not educated by saints. ”
"Isn't it!" Ma Wentao echoed: "Brother Xie, when I get home, I'll tell Brother Erniu and Sister Qing'er what I just said, and see how it goes?" In fact, you don't have to try to know, I told my father and sister what you told at home, they all said yes, I was fascinated by it, if we weren't in a hurry, Erya would still want to go to your house to listen. ”
Originally, Xie Hong was still a little suspicious, but it can be seen that Steward Dong said solemnly, and Ma Wentao also echoed it again and again, and he couldn't help but be a little shaken. Elegant or vulgar, such an argument Xie Hong has also seen it on the Internet forums of later generations, and he didn't pay much attention to it, because both sides make sense.
After crossing over, he has seen the literati of this era, and Xie Hong has little confidence in this regard. When he said that farewell, he already felt that it was full of charm, but in Wang Zhixian's eyes, it was just that the lyrics and songs were well matched, and others were just easy to understand when they talked about it. After this incident, where did Xie Hong dare to engage in those things casually.
Now listening to the two companions, the more Xie Hong thinks about it, the more reasonable it becomes, originally he didn't want to rely on things like storytelling to make a literary name, but he just wanted to use such stories to gather popularity, and then make Zhengde also interested, those literary talents or something were not the most important, and my brother didn't want to take the top prize in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhengde's nickname is Wuzong, and he is also said to be quite unbearable in the history books, and he doesn't like to read. And according to the historical data of later generations, Zhengde likes to play among the people, so if ordinary people are interested, he should also like it, right?
"Well, Mr. Dong, Brother Ma, you are right, but this alone is not enough." After figuring out this section, Xie Hong was not too happy, saying that storytelling is not technical, as long as other teahouses send someone to listen to it, he will learn it.
Not to mention that I don't have much goods in my stomach, even if I can be like the Internet writers of later generations, I say more than 10,000, then I can't stand other people's piracy. Later generations can't prevent it, not to mention this era, there is not even copyright, the seven or eight teahouses in Xuanfu are all talking about the Three Kingdoms, and no one has given Mr. Luo a penny.
This alone is not enough, it has to have its own characteristics. What's the feature? The music café is a feature, Xie Hong thought of this idea, so he tried his best to invite the Ma family brothers and sisters, in addition to these two people, he didn't know where to find people who were proficient in music, and they had to be trustworthy.
But these two people alone are not enough, when the Ma family brothers and sisters said it, they were unintentional, but Xie Hong heard a very critical information. That is, there is a Yang rebel in Tianxianglou, even if Ma Ang is out of tune, he admits that his brother and sister are far inferior to this Yang rebel, Xie Hong doesn't understand the rhythm, but he wants to do the best in his teahouse, and he is suppressed by someone in the rhythm, what is the best?
It's not that he hasn't had the idea of poaching, but Steward Dong's answer made him dispel this idea, a backer of the Qinglou is actually a patrol! Xie Hong felt very unreasonable, and the patrol itself was engaged in legal supervision, how could he do this kind of thing by himself, collusion between officials and businessmen Wow, is there any, Xie Hong was very indignant, and forgot for a while, he himself is also a thousand households, and he is also an official.
Okay, poaching is definitely not good, he is not an opponent compared to money and power, even if he is more attractive than himself, Xie Hong has little confidence, besides, that Yang rebel is not a free body, even if he is attractive, can he elope under the moon?
I had to break through from the front, but what is the way to break through head-on? Xie Hong thought all the way, but he didn't have a clue, so when he got home, his mood was a little low.
ps. Thank you for the reward from the book friends. When Xiaoyu wrote pop songs earlier, a book friend suggested that Dong Chou's song was better, Xiaoyu decided to write one, interested brothers might as well guess which one it was Wow, hehe, Xiaoyu said proudly, eighty percent will be beyond your expectations.
