Chapter 39: Storytelling
"It stands to reason that in a place like the Shenji Pavilion, there should be some cold-blooded and ruthless assassins, but a month ago, the young pavilion master of the Shenji Pavilion actually brought back a woman!"
As soon as the storyteller spoke, Ye Xingchuan immediately pricked up his ears, and the emotions of the audience were obviously higher.
Seeing that the audience in the audience was more interested, the storyteller was also more energetic, and said with added vinegar:
"Moreover, some people say that he saw with his own eyes that the day when the young pavilion master took the woman, but he came back with a sedan chair!!"
"What?!"
"It's a marriage!!"
"How's that girl looking?!"
When Ye Xingchuan heard this, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea: Jinling to the blue wolf?! Eight sedan chairs?!
Someone asked about Zhou Song's appearance, and Mr. Storyteller was even more energetic, and the whole person was about to pounce on the table, pretending to say mysteriously:
"It is said...... At that time, it was a dark and windy night, and the wind slowly blew the curtain of the sedan chair, and then someone saw it......"
"What?"
"Say it!!"
At the critical moment, the storyteller stopped, pushed the little apprentice at his feet, and the little apprentice immediately ran to the audience, holding a small dustpan, and his mouth was full of words: "If the audience thinks that Mr. said it well, please give some 'money', give some ......."
A few listeners were too curious about what was going on, so they threw a few copper plates to the little apprentice, and when the storyteller saw that the copper plates were enough, he called the little apprentice back, took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and continued:
"Uh...... I just talked about the woman's appearance...... On a dark and windy night, the curtain of the sedan chair was blown up by the wind, and the woman was simply amazing!! ”
"Really?!"
"Sure enough, since ancient times, a talented man is a beautiful woman......"
Both on and off the stage were amazed, Ye Xingchuan only felt that this storyteller was, how did he see a person sitting in a sedan chair on a dark and windy night? Besides, he has been looking at Zhou Song's face for two lifetimes, and he doesn't know where the "shock" is.
"Yes, I heard that woman, as soon as she entered the Shenji Pavilion, the young pavilion master hid her, and he didn't want anyone to see the woman's prosperous beauty, which is the so-called 'Golden House Hidden Jiao'......"
Mr. Storyteller shook his head unsatisfactorily when he said it, but Ye Xingchuan couldn't listen to it anymore, he opened his eyes and said nonsense, and interrupted:
"You're not in that Divine Machine Pavilion, how do you know about such a thing?"
As soon as he spoke, the audience turned their heads in unison, and the storyteller stopped to look at the young man who was deliberately finding fault.
"As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and we storytellers are the first to know the wind coming out of the wall, otherwise where would you go to listen to the story?"
"Is there no such thing as an impermeable wall? I think you're making up a habit! ”
The audience was very dissatisfied because Ye Xingchuan interrupted their listening and speaking, and began to complain:
"Where did this person come from, do you still listen?"
"This stinky boy, listening to the accent is from other places, he is really uneducated!"
The storyteller was not angry, but thought it was funny, he touched a strand of beard on the side of his mouth, and said: "Boy, you can bear it, you come up and say, if you speak better than me, I will voluntarily invite you to tea!" ”
When Ye Xingchuan heard this, he was not convinced, this storyteller was talking nonsense, why was he not allowed to say it, he stood up and said, "Yes, but you not only have to invite me to tea, but you can never tell the story of Shenji Pavilion and that woman." ”
The storyteller saw that Ye Xingchuan was really energetic, and pointed at Ye Xingchuan with the startling wood, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, you come, you come." I see you can tell a flower! ”
Ye Xingchuan didn't show weakness at all, at least he couldn't lose in momentum, in fact, he was so stupid, he and Zhou Song had a set of mouths in his heart on weekdays, let him tell the story completely, and tell it better than Mr. Storyteller, how could that be!
But he straightened his back and stood on the platform.
In fact, he didn't even think about what to say, especially when he saw those people standing in the audience, his brain was blank, and he was even a little dizzy, but he said everything, and he couldn't escape.
He held back for a long time, and the eyes of the people in the audience gradually turned from expectation to disappointment, and some people joked: "Little boy, you can't do it, if you can't do it, come down!" ”
That sentence was like a beginning, and more and more people began to declare their dissatisfaction:
"Come down!"
"Don't waste everyone's time!"
"Those who are out of town are uneducated!"
There were even people who whistled and cheered.
Ye Xingchuan faced the dissatisfied audience, becoming more and more anxious, and even felt a little out of breath, what story did he have to tell? Or is there anything he has ever seen more bizarre and wonderful than that of a storyteller?
He thought quickly in his head, and finally he spoke anxiously and stammeringly:
"You've seen ...... Female Emperor? ”
As soon as he said this, the audience was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then shook their heads: "No." ”
The person who had just cheered the loudest asked, "How can this woman be the emperor?" ”
Ye Xingchuan also learned to be a storyteller, slapped the startling wood, and said loudly: "Good question!" ”
His shot was so inexplicable that it startled the audience.
He cleared his throat and continued: "There are very few people who are emperors, and even fewer women who are emperors, but there is really such a person who has become emperors. ”
When the storyteller in the audience heard him, he also felt that he was talking nonsense, and said loudly: "This little boy, I am well-read, and in the history of returning to China, there is really no female emperor!" ”
Ye Xingchuan said in a foolish manner: "What if I say that it is in the future?" ”
The audience felt that he was talking about the storyteller, saying crazy things, how could this man know what was going to happen later?
Seeing that the people below didn't believe it, Ye Xingchuan said again: "You can predict the destiny of heaven, if you don't believe it, just wait and see-after I finish saying this, there will be a son with a little girl coming up." ”
As soon as the words fell, sure enough, a son came up with a little girl - Xiao Bei and the little worm.
They had already said that they would meet upstairs, and the prince was close to the stairs, Ye Xingchuan heard the footsteps of the two, so he took the opportunity to say.
When the others saw it, they really said it to him, and immediately believed it:
"Hey, that's amazing! Got it for him! ”
"Can you tell us a fortune later?"
Ye Xingchuan saw that he had frightened those people, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and pretended to be profound: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
When everyone saw that it was so mysterious, they thought that he was a fortune teller, and they believed it even more, and exclaimed: "What a master!" ”
Xiao Bei looked at the way he shook his head on the stage, and couldn't help but feel novel, and listened to it with relish with the little insects.
Ye Xingchuan cleared his throat: "Let's continue to talk about the female emperor." ”
Everyone nodded, and they all heard it.
"It is said that the emperor needs both civil and military skills, and it is a dragon descending from the sky, but that woman does not rely on scheming, but on one thing. He firmly took the position of the emperor! ”
"What's that?" The audience asked curiously.
"Martial arts."
Ye Xingchuan said the answer concisely, and the people in the audience were surprised:
"Martial arts?! A woman?! ”
"Impossible, impossible, no matter how powerful she is, can she be as powerful as a man?"
"Even if there are men who are powerful, can they still have an army?"
Ye Xingchuan listened, and nodded pretendingly: "You all have a point, but ah, that woman is really powerful enough to fight a hundred enemies, maybe even more powerful, I heard that she wielded a sword, and that sword qi can shock five thousand soldiers and horses!" ”
Ye Xingchuan admitted that his words were exaggerated, after all, he also listened to what the storyteller said back then, but in the whole Yun Guiguo, no one really could beat Zhou Song, I heard that she broke into the palace alone, picked all kinds of guards and masters in the palace at night, and after slashing the emperor with her own hands, she could still sit firmly on the throne.
In fact, before she became the emperor, Zhou Song's life deeds spread all over the country, all about how she traveled to the ends of the earth, visited various sects and worldly masters, and how to convince the local people and knights of the rivers and lakes.
Hearing what Ye Xingchuan said, everyone was shocked:
"There is such a strange woman in the world?!"
"It's amazing, it's amazing."
After a commotion, someone asked, "What does that woman look like?" Is it good-looking? ”
Now I really asked Ye Xingchuan, is Zhou Song good-looking? He never thought about this issue carefully, but every time a folk storyteller introduced her, he first said "Jianghu Woman, bright and moving", and later said "A demon girl, a fox charm", so it should be good-looking.
Thinking about it, he blushed inexplicably, and he nodded crampedly: "It's good-looking." ”
"Tut-tut, that's terrible."
There was another commotion, and the man continued to gossip: "Then did you finally get married?" Did you have a child? Or did you open a harem? ”
Ye Xingchuan was drinking tea to moisten his throat, and when he heard this question, he coughed violently: "It should be...... Open a harem, no children. ”
When everyone heard this, they still sighed regretfully: "If a woman doesn't give birth to a child, what's the use of being an emperor, and she still opens a harem, which is extravagant!" ”
Ye Xingchuan interrupted their discussion and continued: "Anyway, this female emperor, before becoming the emperor, but after a lot of hardships, she was just a waste person with broken hands and feet at the beginning, and then I don't know how, suddenly one day, she suddenly appeared and became a legend of the rivers and lakes......"
said that it was a storyteller, but in fact, Ye Xingchuan just heard it from his storyteller in his previous life, and he said it again, and if he couldn't remember it clearly, he said "The secret of heaven must not be revealed" and fooled the past.
Speaking of the next game, Xiao Bei was the most energetic to listen to, not only rewarded Ye Xingchuan with a tael of silver, but also asked him unsatisfactorily: "The 'female emperor' you are talking about, is it Miss Zhou?" ”
Ye Xingchuan took a sip of tea to hide his panic: "How can you say this?" ”
"I can't think of you defending someone like that but her."
