Chapter 270: Mr. Storyteller

The others have settled down in the inn, watching the salutes and resting the resting. There were two guards in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for Xiao Yulin and them to come back.

Seeing Xiao Yulin and them coming back, the two guards stepped forward to greet them.

"Childe is back!" The two guards arched.

Xiao Yulin said: "Is the luggage all right? Is there anything missing from Tongsheng Inn? ”

One of the guards replied, "Hui Gongzi, we have taken all our things with us." Only those uneaten ingredients, we took them with us, and it was useless, so we gave them to the shopkeeper. ”

Xiao Yulin nodded, and then walked upstairs with Zhong Yuqi.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly greeted him and said, "Childe, madam, what do you have to tell the little one?" ”

Xiao Yulin said as he walked: "It's extremely boring outside, you can have some fun for my son." ”

The fellow thought for a moment, then said, "Ah! I don't know if Childe wants to listen to music or listen to books? ”

Xiao Yulin's footsteps paused, and then continued to walk, saying, "Storyteller? I heard that there is a strange storyteller in your Yunzhou City. I don't know, what kind of strange method is it? ”

The fellow said, "That's it, there is something strange about man's temperament! He would come out and tell whenever he wanted, no matter what the weather. He can talk whatever he wants, regardless of whether anyone listens to it or not. He will not be told what books he will be given, and if he does not want to say it, he will not say how much money he will give him. If someone invites him to tell a story, it will cost him a lot of silver. ”

Xiao Yulin said: "How can he support his family in this way? ”

The guy said: "He is a lifter, and he is supported by the court every month, and he just makes some spare money by telling stories!" More than ten years ago, the storyteller was selected to lift people, but he never went to Beijing to take the exam, and he didn't do anything else, so he only became a storyteller. ”

Xiao Yulin savored the information inside and said, "As you said, if this son wants to invite him to talk about the book, then it can't be?" ”

The guy said with a smile: "Our Zhong family is a big family in Yunzhou City, and he still has to give this face." But well...... Generally, if you ask him to come to the house to tell a book, he will ask for a higher price, or you can ask the customer to order the book himself. ”

Xiao Yulin had already walked to the second floor, raised his chin slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, does this son seem to be a person who lacks silver?" ”

The guy hurriedly smiled and said, "The guest officer is a rich and noble family!" The small one is just to make it clear to the guest officer first, lest the guest officer want to say that the small one blackmails the guest officer's money. This money was also given to the storyteller by the guest officer, and the shop just charged some tea fees. ”

Xiao Yulin said: "Then invite him!" Where is the upper class? ”

The guy hurriedly said, "Guest officer, please come with the little one!" ”

After speaking, the guy hurriedly led the way and led Xiao Yulin, Zhong Yuqi and others to a luxurious big house in the innermost.

The room is not small, with two rooms, inside and outside, separated by a gauze curtain in the middle. The furnishings in the house are not to say how luxurious, but there are still a lot of valuable items. From the delicate screen ornaments to the cups, plates, and candlesticks, they are all made of the finest materials.

The guy went down to the lobby on the first floor again, and asked someone to bring tea to the upper room, and he hurried out the door.

Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi waited in the room for half an hour before the guy invited the storyteller in.

The guy first apologized to Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi, and then introduced: "Let the guest officer wait for a long time!" This is my famous storyteller in Yunzhou City, Mr. Yan Runsheng Yan. Mr. Yan lives a little far away from here, and he cleaned up for a while, so he came late, and I ask the guest officer to forgive me! People, the little ones have been invited. If the guest officer has no other orders, the little one will retire. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi had no other instructions, the guy withdrew from the house.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a delicate and white face, which corresponded to the adjective of a white-faced scholar. He didn't smile on his face, and he was right about the image of a nerd. He has a small goatee on his chin, which is a symbol of a person of this age. He wears a plain cotton robe and a fur hat.

Yan Runsheng arched his hand at Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi, which was considered a salute.

Xiao Yulin raised his hand at Yan Runsheng and said, "Sir, please take a seat!" ”

Yan Runsheng was not polite, shook his robe, and sat down at the end of the table.

Zhong Yuqi motioned for Chunhua to pour Yan Runsheng a cup of hot tea.

When Yan Runsheng saw it, there was a hint of surprise on his face. Soon, however, he regained his composure.

Yan Runsheng said: "Son, please come down, what book do you want to hear?" ”

Xiao Yulin said: "What kind of books do you usually say? ”

Yan Runsheng said: "The legend of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the biography of the Five Tyrants and the Seven Heroes, the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the biography of celebrities, the battlefield records, ghosts and strange legends, and the geography of mountains and rivers are all slightly involved. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "If the Three Kingdoms go down, is there nothing to say?" ”

Xiao Yulin looked at Zhong Yuqi a little strangely, and Zhong Yuqi also looked at Xiao Yulin suspiciously.

Yan Runsheng said: "Further down, it's the matter of the dynasty." There are rules in the storytelling industry, and if you don't talk about the things of the dynasty, so as not to attract taboos. ”

Zhong Yuqi suddenly felt embarrassed, and only then did he know what historical position the Dayu Kingdom was in. According to the history of the Dayu Kingdom, it is probably in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Xiao Yulin didn't know what Zhong Yuqi was thinking, and thought that Zhong Yuqi wanted to hear some of what he had seen and heard in the current dynasty, so he said to Yan Runsheng: "The affairs of the current dynasty are not without things that can be said. My son's wife likes to listen to some market news, and Mr. can't help but talk about it? ”

Yan Runsheng was a little displeased, and said: "If the son wants to hear what he has seen in the market, he can listen to a few random people on the street." I am not a person in the market, so I can't talk about these gossip. ”

Now it was Xiao Yulin's turn to be embarrassed, but he didn't expect that Yan Runsheng would not give face to the patron like this.

Zhong Yuqi said: "Ah! What Childe said is not the kind of rumors that Mr. thinks, but some rumors in the rivers and lakes. For example, my son and I came from the north and passed through a large mountainous area, and there was a mystery in the mountain. I don't know, do you have any research on Feng Shui? ”

Yan Runsheng said: "Scholars don't care about feng shui. However, I have nothing to do in my spare time, but I have also read some related books and know a little bit about it. Listen to the mountain area that Mrs. said, it is the mountain land north of Jiangbei City, right? ”

Zhong Yuqi nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Yan Runsheng said: "Madame, don't you want to say that among those mountains, there is a treasure land of feng shui? ”

Zhong Yuqi nodded again.
