It may be an exaggeration, but his storytelling art has indeed reached the realm of exquisite and sophisticated.

As soon as the waking wood sounded, the audience was silent, and only Liu Mazi's voice was heard echoing in the teahouse.

I heard that Liu Mazi is best at "Water Margin", especially "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", "Drunken Beat Jiang Menshen", and "Cross Slope Hit Shop" are even more famous.

And the book I am talking about today is "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", but Liu Mazi is not the same as it. Using his language and vocabulary to describe the portrayal is more nuanced and colorful.

“…… Let's say that Na Wu Song went to the store to drink, but saw that there was no one in the store, and suddenly he yelled violently, and the empty jars and urns in the store were buzzing......"

Zhu Youxiao bowed his head lightly and secretly admired.

Liu Jingting is really not in vain, he said that books are not confined to established books. Instead, it boldly plays and recreates, conveying the spirit in the subtleties, and rendering the dull places wonderfully, which has its own characteristics.

When it came to the appearance of the tiger, Wu Song was already said vividly, and the tiger was also vivid, which made people feel like they were there, and they were so nervous that they held their breath.

Suddenly, Liu Mazi stopped and stared coldly at a table where three young Wensheng-looking guys were talking to each other.

"Mr. Liu is angry." Someone explained in a low voice: "This is Mr. Liu's rule, you have to sit quietly and listen to books, but whenever there is chattering, yawning and other actions, he will interrupt, and no one can force him." ”

The audience was listening to it addictively, and as soon as Liu Mazi stopped, it was like a drunkard who had been robbed of his wine glass halfway through drinking, and he felt uncomfortable. When I heard people say this again, they all looked at the "culprit" angrily.

The three young scholars also realized that with so many blaming and complaining eyes, they were not blind.

"Three, please go out!" A guy stepped forward to catch people away, and his face was not good.

The three scholars looked at each other, one of them sank his face, revealing a little anger, Huo Ran got up, pointed at Liu Mazi and said, "It's just that you are swaggering and cheating, and you are still pretending to make people angry with us." Okay, I didn't want to expose you, but you forced it. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and said loudly: "You have all been deceived, he is not Liu Jingting at all, but a fake." Borrowing Mr. Liu's reputation to defraud money. ”

Coax! There was a commotion in the audience, either puzzled or surprised, looking at this, and then at the storyteller.

Liu Mazi was really calm, and he didn't panic, looking at the Wensheng who exposed him, he showed a look that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.

Wen Sheng thought this was a mockery, became more and more angry, and said loudly: "I have seen Mr. Liu in Yangzhou, his face is yellow and black, his face is full of scars, and he is leisurely and casual. What about you, where is the elephant? ”

The audience took a closer look, and it was. But I don't know if it's true or not, most of them are suspicious, waiting for Liu Mazi to explain.

Liu Mazi was not in a hurry, tapped the awakening wood, and said to Wen Sheng: "When did you call yourself 'Liu Jingting'?" ”

"You want to play tricks?" Wen Sheng's eyes widened, and he asked rhetorically, "Didn't you sign up for 'Liu Mazi'?" ”

Liu Mazi nodded, and said seriously: "That's right, my surname is Liu, and I have pockmarks on my face, and people call me 'Liu Mazi'." ”

Standing up, Liu Mazi arched his hand to the four and said, "I came from Jiangnan and reported myself with a nickname, isn't it a swagger?" ”

Not only were the scholars stunned, but the audience was also dizzy. That's right, people have always reported "Liu Mazi", not Liu Jingting.

Don't think what you think is what you think you are. Zhu Youxiao pursed the corners of his mouth and laughed.

He thought of the lines in the cross talk, and also thought of "Sprite" and "Leibi", "Six Walnuts" and "Big Walnuts".

"You, you-" Wen Sheng blinked his eyes and forcedly said, "Why do you use the same nickname as Mr. Liu instead of your real name?" It's, it's—"

Rubbing the heat, the copycat name, with the fake and the true, Zhu Youxiao thought of several for this guy, and he didn't know if it was appropriate or not.

"I don't change my name when I go down, and I don't change my surname when I sit. I don't like the name my parents gave, and I call myself the same as a nickname. ”

Liu Mazi seemed to be full of reason, and he arched his hand again, and said confidently: "Therefore, I am also called 'Liu Mazi' when I go to the sky." Even Mr. Liu is in person, and there is no reason to force people to change their names, right? Unless he rejuvenates his hands and removes the pockmarks on my face. ”

Hehe, someone couldn't help laughing, listening to books, it became listening to cross talk.

More and more people are smiling, which is interesting. It's even more fun to go back and talk to people in the vernacular!

The other two scholars frowned, realizing that they really didn't pay attention. It's just that people say it's called "Liu Jingting", if you want to argue, you are not allowed to have the same name and surname?

"Let's go." The two scholars stood up and beckoned to their companions, not wanting to continue the futile entanglement.

Xia Yunyi was also helpless, angrily glanced at Liu Mazi, and left the teahouse with two companions.

Liu Mazi did not continue to speak ill of each other, and when he saw that he was good, he showed his wisdom.

He arched his hand towards the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this name is indeed easy to misunderstand. But he is also diligent and hard-working, and he doesn't dare to bully people in his name. If you feel that you are not speaking well, spend an extra penny of silver to receive help, and you can eat dumplings during the New Year; If you think it's okay, then let's continue? ”

"Go on, go on." Someone shouted impatiently.

"Go on, go on, Wu Song and Tiger are in a hurry." Someone joked, provoking a burst of laughter.

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, got up and left.

The storyteller is at the bottom, and his plain language performance style is more popular with ordinary people.

This seems to have served as a means of propagating the policies of the imperial court, and to help the common people who had not read, could not read, and could not read newspapers.

Out of the teahouse, Zhu Youxiao said to Lu Jianxing with a smile: "It's still unfinished, right?" You can come back often in the future. ”

Lu Jianxing sneered: "I think this Liu Mazi is good, and he has a clear explanation of his boxing skills, so he should be a practitioner." ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Lu Jianxing, shook his head slightly, and said, "The fist is clear, but it may not be able to fight." ”

Lu Jianxing didn't understand very well, but he didn't dare to argue, slowed down, and returned to a state of secret protection with his companions.

You don't know there's an old man Jin, that's written in martial arts. If you really go and cut him off, you can beat him ten.

Zhu Youxiao didn't believe that Liu Mazi was powerful, and he was still a martial arts master. But to be able to say it so realistically, it should be that he has worked hard, at least he has consulted with people who practice martial arts.

While walking, Zhu Youxiao suddenly saw two foreign missionaries walking out of the alley, still debating, as they walked, it seemed that they were about Copernicus and Tycho.

After a closer look, Zhu Youxiao seemed to remember something, and instructed Wang Tiqian: "In the alley, is the mansion I gave to Xu Guangqi?" ”
