Chapter 101: Storytelling

When Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er left the Li Mansion, it was already dark, and the number of people on the street gradually increased. Li Gefei wanted to rent a carriage to send them back, but Mo Yunxiao politely declined.

Walking on the road, Huan'er was full of complaints: "Girl, why are you holding this red line?" The lady of the Li family is so rude, it seems that she is by no means easy to get along with. Do you help her and expect her to miss you? ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't you know, this lady of the Li family will be a big celebrity in the future, and she will remain in the annals of history, and she will still be loved by countless people after a thousand years." ”

Huan'er's eyes blinked, and she asked, "How do you know about the future, girl?" ”

Mo Yunxiao knew that she would definitely ask like this, so she replied unhurriedly: "I see that the words and chapters she writes are elegant and beautiful, and I know that she has read her articles well, and in time she will definitely become a generation of words in my dynasty." ”

Huan'er pursed her lips and said disapprerovingly: "Since ancient times, no woman has become a poet saint of the word sect. ”

Mo Yunxiao glanced at her and said with a smile: "Li Qingzhao is it." And there is no shortage of female poets and lyricists in China, such as Cai Wenji in ancient times, Xue Tao in recent times, Yu Xuanji, and my good friend Wei Yuru in Wei. They are all famous figures in the annals of history, how can you see Li Qingzhao not? ”

"Alas!" Huan'er sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "Girl, I can't talk about you, but you have to help her pull the red line, this thing is really not easy to do." Not to mention how Zhao Xiaoguan contacted him, even if he did, if he didn't match, Li Qingzhao would have nothing to do. ”

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure they get married." Mo Yunxiao said a word, pulled the ring and left.

There was a lot of traffic on the road, and when I walked through the Tongjin Bridge, there were more and more large and small shops. Huan'er clamored to eat candy people, but Mo Yunxiao was entangled but had to buy two. He was holding Guan Wangye, and Huan'er was holding a monkey in gold armor.

Mo Yunxiao was a little strange, so she asked her, "What are you?" ”

"Monkey King!" Huan'er said happily.

"Monkey King?" Mo Yunxiao found it interesting, and then said, "How come you also know about Monkey King?" ”

Huan'er rolled her eyes and said, "Of course you know, are the Monkey King, Tongtian Great Sage, and Pingtian Great Sage the three brothers?" The magic power of these three demon monkeys is boundless, occupying the mountain as the king, and even hitting the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the world changes color, and the ghosts and gods are terrified. Hey? These stories don't the girls know, do they? ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I know, I know." I also know that later, this Monkey King was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain, and was enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures. ”

Huan'er was confused but found it interesting, so she said, "I haven't heard the rest of the story." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled proudly and said, "Of course you haven't heard of it, but only I know about it." ”

Huan'er immediately hugged Mo Yunxiao's neck and begged, "Good sister, tell me about it, tell me about it......"

"Ahh Mo Yunxiao broke free of her embrace and said, "Beware of the sugar man!" ”

Miss Wang sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the Minglou with her hands on her cheeks, looking at the crowded street.

Yunxi happened to come back from shopping with Danzhu, and when he saw her, he asked, "Girl, what are you doing sitting here?" ”

"I'm waiting for Sister Mo to come back." Miss Xiao Wang said: "She promised to buy me osmanthus drinks." ”

"Oh, it's the drinking shop on the edge of the Cai River?" Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Then you can go in with me, it's windy outside." ”

"I don't! I'm going to watch them come back. "Miss Wang's temper is very stubborn.

Yunxi shrugged his shoulders and had to go in with Danzhu first.

After a while, Miss Xiao Wang saw Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er. She jumped up excitedly, ran over and threw herself into Mo Yunxiao's arms, and said, "Sister Mo, you're back, I'm waiting for you to be kind." ”

As she spoke, she looked around Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er and asked, "Where is my osmanthus drink?" ”

Mo Yunxiao and Huan'er glanced at each other, and they were both embarrassed.

Mo Yunxiao scratched her head, squatted down and said, "Good sister, I forgot to buy it, sister." ”

"Huh?" Miss Wang was surprised and then looked depressed. She drooped her head back to the stone steps and sat down.

Mo Yunxiao felt very ashamed and blamed herself, and was thinking about how to remedy it, but Huan'er stepped forward before her, sat next to Miss Xiao Wang and said, "Look, we bought a candy man for you!" It's still Monkey King! ”

Miss Wang glanced at her and said, "My sister bought it for you, I don't want it." ”

Huan'er was stunned for a moment, and flatly denied: "No, this is what I bought for you." ”

Mo Yunxiao also stepped forward and said to Huan'er: "Miss Xiao Wang is very smart, you can't fool her." ”

Then, Mo Yunxiao also sat down and said to her: "This time my sister did forget, but there was a reason for it. Well...... There are many things that you don't necessarily want to hear even if I say them. Why don't you do this, let me tell you a story, how about the story of Monkey King learning scriptures with Tang monks? ”

Huan'er was the first to applaud: "This story is wonderful, we haven't heard it yet." ”

Miss Wang's eyes lit up, and she turned her head sideways and asked, "What is that?" ”

Seeing that she was interested, Mo Yunxiao's heart was wide at first, and then she said slowly: "It is said that when Nuwa was mending the sky, there was a colorful divine stone left on the Huaguo Mountain of Aolai Country in Dongsheng Shenzhou. This divine stone absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon......"

"Journey to the West", which was only written in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, was told by Mo Yunxiao to two girls in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the story of Monkey King and Xuanzang learning scriptures was already well-known in the Song Dynasty, it was only a prototype after all. "Journey to the West" summarizes these myths and stories more systematically, and there are also many inventions and creations of the author.

Therefore, when Mo Yunxiao spoke slowly, the two girls quickly became fascinated. Many passers-by also stopped to listen.

At first, people just thought it was very strange to sit at the door of the Ming Building, and they couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, but after hearing this fascinating story, they couldn't help but be fascinated.

So more and more people stopped to listen, and after a while, the spacious Tianjie Royal Road was so crowded that people could not pass through the Taiping carts and mule carts.

After finishing a paragraph, the three of them realized that there were many people around. Mo Yunxiao was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Fathers, I am not a storyteller, what I am talking about is just an interesting anecdote that children love to hear, so you are all dispersed." ”

"Lady Mo, this is not right!" One of the spectators said, "This story is so fascinating, and if we continue to tell it, we will not hesitate to wait for these copper plates." ”

"Yes, yes......" echoed into a chorus.

Miss Xiao Wang also jumped up and said, "Sister Mo, it's better to talk in the building." ”

Mo Yunxiao looked back at the building, and there were not many tea customers in the tea house at this time. Because it is the time to eat, I am afraid that there will be more guests in Fan Lou and Yulou.

Mo Yunxiao nodded, and then beckoned everyone and said, "Since you are very kind, please move to the Ming Building." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone boiled.

After a while, the lobby on the first floor of the tea building was full of people. Mo Yunxiao set up a table, prepared a piece of waking wood and a bowl of tea, and began to speak.

"The last book said that the hateful Liu Hong killed Chen Guangrui, the champion of the champion, took people's wives, impersonated, and went to office as Chen Guangrui......"

Although Mo Yunxiao can't recite the full text of "Journey to the West", the general plot has long been familiar with her chest, coupled with her talent for acting, this paragraph of the book makes everyone sitting sigh sometimes, sometimes resentful, sometimes nod frequently, and sometimes applaud.

Unconsciously, as the sun fell, the listeners in the tea building gathered more and more, and the latecomers could only stand outside the door.

Mo Yunze also happened to go home and was very surprised to see the scene in front of him. He looked in on tiptoe, but he saw a crowd of people, and he couldn't see anything else.

He asked the people around him, "Dude, what's going on?" ”

"You don't know? The eldest lady of the Mo family is talking about books inside. The man next to him replied.

"Storytelling? What is the book? Mo Yunze asked.

"It's "Journey to the West"." The man replied.

"Journey to the West?" Mo Yunze was confused, and asked again: "What kind of new script is this?" Why have you never heard of it? ”

The man was impatient with the question, and could only say, "Of course, this is the only way to hear this book." ”

Mo Yunze had to ask again, but he only heard a beat of the waking wood inside, and Mo Yunxiao's voice came: "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition!" ”

After the full house of applause, the people who were still unsatisfied came out and discussed the plot with each other.

"I think that Chen Guangrui is unlucky enough, he has been a green man for many years, but he has encountered such a talent as Liu Hong!"

"Yes! But that Liu Hong is really powerful. How easy is it for a bandit to be able to pretend to be an official for many years without revealing his flaws! ”

Looking at these tea guests who were leaving while chatting, Mo Yunze's doubts became heavier and heavier. He walked out the door and saw a mess of cups, plates, and dishes, and melon peels and shells all over the floor.

The women were cleaning, and Mo Yunxiao was sitting at the table drinking tea, looking very tired.

When he looked again, Yunxi, Yunxiang, Zhang Yun'er, and Li Xian'e were all sitting on the side, and Huan'er and Du Juan were moving to the back hall carrying the table.

Mo Yunxiao saw Yun Ze at a glance, so he beckoned him and said, "Shi Yu? You're back? Is there a holiday today? ”

Mo Yunze let out an "oh" and walked over and said, "Yes, eldest brother, tomorrow is a holiday from Taixue, I'll go home and take a look." ”

After he finished speaking, he saluted Zhang Yun'er, Yun Xiang, Li Xian'e, and Yun Xi respectively, and then asked why he wanted to tell a story here.

Miss Xiao Wang said it 1510. She said that she was painted with color and eyebrows, and obviously threw the regret of not drinking osmanthus to Xiniu Hezhou.

The more Mo Yunze listened, the more interesting he felt, so he said: "In this case, tomorrow happens to be fine, I will invite a few classmates from Taixue to listen to the eldest brother talk together." ”

Zhang Yun'er smiled from ear to ear and said, "That's great, your classmates are all official eunuchs, and you need to be careful in the future, so as to find a good future for yourself." ”

"Mother!" Mo Yunze was a little displeased, and said: "After three years, I will definitely take the exam again, and I will be admitted to the Jinshi on my own." I am a gentleman's friend with my classmates, so I can't do that. ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded and praised: "Good!" is worthy of my Mo family's son-in-law. ”

Mo Yunze also ignored his mother's somewhat concerned expression, and came directly to Mo Yunxiao's side and said, "It's still the eldest brother who understands me." I have a good relationship with a few good friends, and I will definitely be able to ask them to come tomorrow. ”

Li Xian'e grinned and said, "Okay, Shiyu, I also want you classmates to see that our Mo family lady is also talented and beautiful." If any of the small yamen fancy it, you might as well come to propose. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone except Zhang Yun'er laughed. Mo Yunxiao's face was a little red, and she hurriedly got up and said, "You guys can make fun of me." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave with Huan'er and Xiao Wang, but he heard Mo Yunze say: "Most of my classmates are already married or have been married. Oh yes, there's one that hasn't been married. ”

"Who's that?" Yunxi asked mischievously.

"Shangshu's left servant shoots Zhao Mingcheng, the son of Master Zhao, the word Defu."

Mo Yunxiao hadn't gone far yet, and suddenly heard Zhao Mingcheng's name and couldn't help but perk up. She hurriedly turned around and came back, and asked hurriedly, "Shi Yu, are you classmates with Zhao Mingcheng?" ”

Mo Yunze was a little strange, but he still nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Mo Yunxiao was overjoyed, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Then you must ask him to come tomorrow." Don't forget! ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly went to the back hall with Huan'er and Xiao Wang.

Mo Yunze was even more strange, and said to himself: "Why does the eldest brother value Brother Defu so much? ”

Yunxi grinned and said, "Can't you see this, brother, eldest brother, I'm afraid she has secretly agreed." ”

So the women all burst into a burst of clear laughter, only Zhang Yun'er and Yun Xiang were a little unhappy.

Li Xian'e turned her head to Zhang Yun'er while pinching the Buddha beads and said, "Sister, it's time to talk to Helu about family affairs." ”

"Oh? That's great! Zhang Yun'er said with some sourness: "Then let Shi Yu take a tie and see if the son of the Zhao family can like us." ”

Li Xian'e didn't hear the sourness in her words at all, so she also said to Mo Yunze: "Yes, Shiyu, your mother has spoken, you can ask him to come and see it tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Third Grandma." Mo Yunze agreed.

Zhang Yun'er was even more angry, so she had to stand up and say: "I'm tired, Xiang'er, Shiyu, come with my mother." ”

She yawned as she made her way to the back hall. Her sons and daughters followed her.

returned to Zhilanju, Zhang Yun'er immediately changed her face. She turned around, looked at Mo Yunze with a solemn face, and said, "Shi Yu, what kind of benefits did she give you when you helped Helu like this?" ”

Mo Yunze didn't know what to do, but when he saw his mother blaming, he could only kneel down and say: "The child is scared, I don't know why my mother said this!" ”

"Humph!" She sat down and said, "No matter what, when the son of the Zhao family comes tomorrow, he will have to let Xiang'er's limelight overshadow Mo Helu." Xiang'er, even if you don't succeed, you must not let Mo Helu become. You know? ”

"Huh?" Mo Yunze was taken aback, and in an instant, he understood his mother's intentions.

Yun Xiang was a little apprehensive, but he really wanted to get married, so he answered "yes".
