Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Tumult

The mechanical monkey brought by the woman in the white dress and red jacket immediately detonated the atmosphere of the audience. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And after that, the monkey continued one after another, bringing dazzling surprise performances to the Qing court and the envoys of various countries.

After the monkey went to the room, he first performed a "shake stick flower" to the cheerful drum beat, and then flew down and did a few backflips in succession, all in one go.

After the somersault was exhausted, the little monkey suddenly shook the stick in his hand after he was stable in the middle of the field, and then in an exclamation from the audience, the stick quickly cracked in the middle, and then a piece of paper with gold letters on a red background flew out of it.

The front of the paper is facing the throne of Galeries Lafayette and the Emperor, and under the magnificent light, there are four large golden characters reflected on it:

"Shoubi Minamisan".

The series of actions of the wooden mechanical monkey really made the master of that night happy. Especially after seeing the four golden words, the Queen Mother of the West Fengyan was overjoyed, but also applauded herself for the first time, praising "Good, good, good!"

With the joy of the old lady, the whole scene boiled again. The faces of the envoys of various countries also changed from extreme shock to extreme appreciation, and finally they even gave a thumbs up from the bottom of their hearts!

I thought that the little monkey's performance should come to an end here, but it was an even more magical scene...... Again.

Just after the little monkey stretched the banner of "Shoubi Nanshan", the girl behind the little monkey suddenly opened her mouth and ordered the monkey: "Sing, the Queen Mother listens!"

Immediately afterwards, the puppet monkey nodded his head, and suddenly spoke, singing Peking Opera sadly!

Under the accompaniment of Jinghu, the little monkey's wooden mouth opened wide, and he said: "My grandson, it was originally a stone ,...... in the East China Sea."

This part of singing and drinking, although it sounds very naïve and immature, and lacks emotion, but there is a nose and eyes between the words, and it is as if a real person is learning to speak.

And when this voice came out, all the ministers and ministers present at that time, as well as the carpenter technicians, were immediately dumbfounded.

You know, the spectators at the church this time are not simple ticket holders, professional carpenters and mechanical technicians like Style Lei and Mr. Big Radish are a big handful, and Xiangshan Craftsman and *** don't deal with each other, so many Style Thundermen people are wide-eyed, carefully examining the little puppet that can move and sing.

Originally, this puppet could jump and run, which had already made these outstanding talents at home and abroad feel a special surprise.

Because at that time, although the clockwork brake equipment and electric motors were mature, and some mechanical dolls that could walk and move could be manufactured abroad, they were far less capable of tossing than the one on the stage, and could make such a complex tumbling action.

In addition, the fact that this puppet could not only jump around, but also speak and sing, was all the more peculiar, because the only device that could record sound at that time was the gramophone, and the phonograph was also a big and bulky black guy in anyone's mind, and I really didn't know how the girl in red could compress so many things into such a small puppet.

And even if these problems of technical integration were solved by skilled craftsmen, the fact that the girl commanded the little wooden monkey to sing with her voice was completely beyond the imagination of everyone at that time.

After all, at that time, there was no advanced electromagnetic induction technology, and non-trigger switches were completely out of science fiction.

Because of this completely incomprehensible phenomenon, all kinds of speculations about the girl and her puppet began at the same time.

In response to the speculation about this puppet, the Chinese and foreigners reached a surprising agreement this time, and with the efforts of the translator, everyone believed that the thing was not a machine at all, but a child or a dwarf dressed in disguise.

Although there was a speculation immediately, the Chinese people did not want to and did not dare to say this sentence, because the purpose of this competition was to make Lafayette happy, and if he was happy, then everything else was secondary.

Style Lei put forward such a disappointing sentence at this moment, it is no different from suddenly letting the Empress Dowager Xi eat a mouse feces during the banquet.

However, compared to the Chinese, those foreigners don't care so much, and these big-nosed and blue-eyed foreigners don't believe that the Chinese can rely on their own wisdom to make any decent "machines", so the objects taken out by this girl are naturally twelve points weird.

In this regard, several foreigners in charge of the French affairs took the lead, summed up with each other, and decided to raise their own questions.

Of course, even in the face of doubts, you must wait for the end of this scene, otherwise it will be really unseemly to slap the master who is on the rise.

From the accounts of the turnips, we can see that these foreigners were not stupid, on the contrary, they were far more shrewd than the self-righteous Chinese bureaucrats and rulers.

After the mind was settled, the foreigner's delegation calmly observed all this happening, while Lafayette was completely in the dark, and watched this unusual monkey show with great interest.

So, under the apparent calm, this big drama gradually came to an end, when the wooden mechanical monkey opened his mouth to read the last sentence "...... Standing up to the sky, who can help me!", it suddenly weakened its body, its head drooped, and it sat completely on the ground and stopped functioning.

At this point, the whole opera ended, followed by the heartfelt applause of the Empress Dowager of the West, the emperor and the eunuchs, as well as the insincere cheers of the ministers of various countries.

At the end of the curtain, the girl in red was still standing in front of the stage, the emperor used his own machinery to win back face for himself, and Lafayette watched a unique monkey show, so the two also reached an unprecedented agreement.

Smiled at the red-clothed girl on the stage, Lafayette asked the emperor beside him: "Emperor, this girl has good things and good filial piety, should we reward her?"

Although it was a trivial matter, the old lady rarely asked for the emperor's meaning, so the emperor also nodded anxiously at that time and said, "It should be rewarded, it should be rewarded!"

With Guangxu's nod, the smiling Queen Mother of the West immediately announced that the first place in the expo was this girl's, and turned around not only to give the yellow coat, but also to allow the girl to kneel in front of the palace with a puppet doll, and the Queen Mother of the West, the emperor to eat supper and watch the big play.

At that time, people valued vanity more than anything else, and they could have the opportunity to enjoy themselves at the same table with the royal driver, which was more affordable than ten thousand taels of gold.

Because being able to get so close to the emperor and the queen mother means that his person has been favored, and it means that his person has a supreme future and future.

The girl was naturally very happy to have such an opportunity, so after she nodded her head and thanked her, she immediately walked off the stage with the little half-sized doll in her arms, and walked towards Lafayette step by step.

But at this moment, a guy in the crowd suddenly stood up.
