Wang Zhanli is now over 50 years old, he is a big landowner, with hundreds of acres of land at home, many shops, and several houses, distributed in different counties.

Wang Zhanli has three sons, all of whom are quite promising, and when he is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he has become a rich and idle man.

In addition to teasing the little grandson every day, I just go out to walk around, walk around with some old friends, drink tea and chat, listen to some strange things, and live a very comfortable life.

On this day, as usual, he took a short nap in the afternoon, and then went out with the little servant and walked towards the west of the city.

There is a teahouse near his house, which is still opened by the Hong family, and the decoration is very luxurious, there are private rooms, and the service is good, and sometimes he will go to sit.

But there always felt that the popularity was not enough, and all the dignitaries who came, all of them had their nostrils facing the sky.

He had already stepped into the threshold, but suddenly felt bored, so he left there and went to another teahouse farther away from home.

"Look, sir, what is this for?" Wang Zhanli's servant pointed to the corner and shouted.

Wang Zhanli followed his finger and saw that in front of him was the Wang family's teahouse, the name was very good, called "Old Man Teahouse", he had been there, and the Hong family's teahouse, not much different.

However, at this time, the door of the teahouse was wrapped with a red cloth plaque, and the pillars on both sides of the door were also wrapped with red cloth, and the gongs and drums were beating "trampling", which was very lively.

"Isn't there someone who wants to marry? But shouldn't marrying a wife be suona? And it's supposed to be at home, so how can it be in a teahouse? The little guy Shuangshou said again.

At this time, a long firecracker was picked up again, and a small two at the door took a little fire fold, "crackling", and it exploded.

The sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums immediately attracted many passers-by. In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment life, and there was rarely any big movement on the street except for buying and selling things.

Now such a loud noise, naturally not missed by the masses, suddenly, three floors inside and three floors outside, the door of the "old man's teahouse" was surrounded into a big circle.

There was the old man, with his hands in his sleeves, whispering to the person next to him: "You say, what is this here for?" ”

"How do you know that? It must be a good thing, otherwise you can't set off firecrackers", the idler answered.

After the firecrackers were fired, the red confetti in the place was still filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Suddenly, the sound of the gong stopped, and a man in a black robe stood out from the door of the teahouse, picked up the gong and struck it, making a "bang" sound, and the surrounding crowd was quiet for a moment.

I heard the man speak: "Our teahouse has reopened, and the owner has obtained a new book "Tianlong Babu", and the bright holy fire has come to the ground and burned up the injustices in the world. The robe swept under the south rock, and Qingfeng smiled at the red dust. The plot has ups and downs, and it is a rare good story. Four cents a morning, drink a cup of tea, listen to a chivalrous story, can't buy fooled, can't buy a loss. You might as well come in and listen. ”

""Dragon Babu"? Listening to the title of this book, it should be about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it's very fresh, I love to listen to this, I always listen to talented and beautiful people, and I'm almost tired of dying of crookedness. ”

"It's only four cents, and on such a cold day, you can still find a place to sit and drink a cup of hot tea in the morning, which is too cost-effective. Anyway, it's nothing to do today, so go listen to it. ”

......The man in the black robe struck the gong twice more and said loudly: "The first floor of our teahouse is for men, and the second floor is specially set up for female guests, and the ladies and ladies can also come and sit." ”

"Miss, shall we go and have a look?" The pomegranates in the distance also heard it, and it was not good for them to come forward and watch the excitement with a group of men, but it did not prevent them from being curious.

Although the Northland is more enlightened than other places, and women are not completely unable to go out on the streets, I heard that storytelling has always been the exclusive power of men, and there has never been a business that has set up a place for women.

The women of the aristocratic family, at most, can only invite the troupe to perform on the birthday of their ancestors, or other major festivals, and enjoy the drama for a while, as for listening to the story, it is even more valuable.

"Qin Baolian, let's go, if you don't go, I'll go", Cai Qinqin was about to rush in through the small door of the female guest next to her.

"Miss?" Liu Er also really wants to go, they can only apply rouge and powder, it is really rare to have this kind of experience, the little girl is very curious.

Qin Baolian looked at them with disgust: "Let's go, let's go." When he went back, he called his mother and told him that his daughter had invited them to listen. ”

"Yes, Miss", the little girl ran away as soon as she slipped away, no matter what it was like, it was extremely rare to let the women participate in this kind of activity.

……

At this time, those who were still walking slowly and wandering around were people like Wang Zhanli, and when others heard about the content of the book and saw the price, they were a little eager to try.

What is the Wang family's "Old Man Teahouse"? On weekdays, if you don't have a net worth of hundreds of taels of silver, you won't have the confidence to go.

Today is only 4 yuan, and I heard that the best VIP room is only 20 yuan. Even if it's not for this storytelling, go into this teahouse to experience it, and you will have the capital to brag when you go back.

Four pennies, how cheap! Those who are usually reluctant to go in also plan to go in and buy a listen, anyway, it is not bad time.

"Bang dang bang bang ......" The black satin man made another gong sound, and everyone knew that he had something to say, so they all pricked up their ears again.

Just listen to the man, "Our book, even for two months, can come within two months, Xingcheng southeast and northwest four Wang family teahouses, the same content, convenient for the big guys to choose at will." ”

"Now, the teahouse is open, please come in", the man said, and asked the little guy in the back to open the door.

Although Wang Zhanli has not studied private school for a few years, he has naturally learned a lot of words after doing business for so many years, and he is unwilling to miss the book of good words.

"Let's go, go in." He saw that the crowd had already begun to go inside, and hurriedly went in first.

"Hey, sir, have you forgotten that you made an appointment today? Master Sun is still waiting for you. Shuangshou hurriedly shouted.

"You go over and tell them, forget it, you can call them directly." Wang Zhanli said as the person had already entered the teahouse.

Shuangshou agreed, followed into the teahouse, and prepared to settle his master first, and then inform others.

After entering the teahouse, Wang Zhanli was stunned. He has been to this house more than once, and when he came back, he still had all kinds of elegant furnishings and a full sense of distance.

But now, except for the center of the teahouse, which is a little more high-end, the remaining rows are already full of audiences. Most of them are ordinary people, and the crowd of Wuyangyang is in full swing, and the discussion is extremely lively.

There is a dragon burning in the teahouse, and it is very warm.

The audience who spent four cents to listen to the play, drinking the free tea in front of them, listening to the storytelling, and their faces were full of satisfaction.

"Master, look, there are a few good seats in front, do you want to sit directly in the VIP lounge?"

Shuangshou saw that the teahouse was full of people, and the rows of benches were full of peddlers and pawns, and they were not so particular about their dress, so they were obviously not the same kind of people as their masters.

"Go and ask, how do you charge for the seat next to the round table?"

Wang Zhanli felt comfortable when he saw the appearance of those sofas, and when he saw that someone had already walked over, he didn't wait for Shuangshou to go over and ask, and sat down directly.

"This is the best VIP area, 20 yuan per guest, tea and snacks alone." The shopkeeper has a very good eye, and he personally entertains in the VIP area, so he is afraid of neglecting the distinguished guests.

Wang Zhanli didn't miss this amount of money, so he occupied a table without saying a word, and paid the money for the other four seats: "I have covered this table", a total of 100 yuan, much cheaper than going to the teahouse, not expensive.

Those are a little bit of background, but the family background is not as good as Wang Zhanli, so he took the initiative to go to the back row of sofas and sat down.

Shuangshou had already gone out to call Master Sun and them, Wang Zhanli ordered a cup of Biluochun, and while tasting it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief while listening to the whispers in the back.

This feeling is down-to-earth, and this is what a teahouse should look like.
