Carrying a basket of mulberry leaves, Mrs. Yan walked in front and pushed the courtyard door open.

Zhu Guoxiang, Shen Yourong and Bai Qi, all three of them carried firewood and walked into the courtyard one after another.

Seeing that the host's family had returned, the villagers greeted one after another, and at the same time couldn't help but peek at Zhu Guoxiang. They are still paying attention to the popular gossip about the widow's scandal, and it is impossible to ignore it after listening to a few stories.

But the core focus has been skewed.

Before Zhu Ming's storytelling, for the villagers, Zhu Guoxiang was just a wild man who hooked up with a widow.

But in Zhu Ming's story, Zhu Guoxiang appears frequently, going to sea to do business for a while, fighting with pirates for a while, breaking into the savage country for a while, and meeting immortals in Penglai for a while.

A messy adventure shrouded Zhu Guoxiang in mystery.

What is it to hook up with a widow in the village?

Zhu Daxianggong was once recruited by the king of his daughter's country!

I just don't know if Dean Zhu and Tang Seng will collide when "Journey to the West" talks about the daughter country.

It is also possible that Zhu Ming dug the pit and did not fill it, and he would not be able to talk about it at all.

The villagers quickly gathered around, their eyes lit up one by one, and they began to ask:

"Zhu Xianggong, is there really only a woman in the daughter country?"

"Zhu Xianggong, is the king of the daughter country as beautiful as a fairy?"

"Zhu Xianggong, did the gods teach you spells?"

"Zhu Xianggong, can the savage country eat live people every day?"

“……”

Zhu Guoxiang was instantly stunned, his mind was confused, what was the mess?

He forcibly squeezed out the pile of people and prepared to put down the firewood and go back to the house.

Immediately, there were a few croppers who helped Zhu Guoxiang unload the firewood. There were a few more village women, stuck in front of them. Some people even reached out and touched it, wanting to touch the immortal energy on Zhu Guoxiang's body.

Because the story is so bizarre, the villagers don't really believe it.

But what if it's true?

It's like going to a temple to worship a Bodhisattva, preferring to believe in what it has than what it doesn't have.

Zhu Guoxiang was very tall, and his eyes looked over the heads of the villagers and directly at his son. Seeing that his son was holding back his laughter, Zhu Guoxiang immediately understood, and shouted: "Don't ask more, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and talking nonsense will be thundered by the sky!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Guoxiang vigorously pushed away the people who stood in the way.

After his crossing, his physique improved, and he was able to easily push away the crops.

"Poof!"

Zhu Guoxiang hurried back to the house and quickly closed the door, unwilling to wipe his son's buttocks.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook, it was almost dark, and the cooking time had already been delayed. As for the little kid Bai Qi, he was also taken to the kitchen, and there were many people outside, afraid that the child would learn badly.

A village woman shouted: "Xiao Xiucai, Mrs. Yan has just started the fire, and she has to wait a long time to eat, so you can talk about the Monkey King!" ”

"Yes, talk about the Monkey King!" The crowd chimed in.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even in the countryside of New China, if someone comes to tell a story, it is the whole village that is very lively.

There was a time when many county cultural bureaus in New China set up full-time storytellers. They collect all kinds of stories, adapt them themselves, cut out unhealthy content, and then go to the countryside. In the evening, the whole village was in a stir, and the threshing floor was tightly crowded.

Because there is no other entertainment, after dark, even lighting the lamp is afraid of consuming fuel, and listening to stories is the ultimate enjoyment.

"Then I'll talk about it again?" Zhu Ming grinned.

"Speak, speak!"

The villagers shouted in unison, and some quickly left, calling for more listeners.

Zhu Ming coughed twice, cleared his throat, and opened his mouth: "But it was said that the Monkey King, a somersault cloud, turned over 108,000 miles, learned the spell and returned to Huaguo Mountain......"

As he spoke, it was getting dark, but more and more people gathered, and there were at least sixty or seventy villagers.

In the darkness, a figure silently turned around, pulled the person next to him and said, "Let's go, go back." ”

"Big brother, you go home first, and I'll leave after listening to the story." The man next to him said.

The man scolded: "Listen to a fart, go quickly!" ”

This is the White Ford brothers, who rushed to see the excitement when they heard the news. The younger brother is quickly drawn to the story, but Bradford is depressed because things are going completely differently than he imagined.

There are five brothers, named Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai.

In rural areas, the more men there are, the less likely they are to be bullied. If you can find a backer, you can still bully others if you are so ruthless.

Their younger sister, who was originally a maid in the old Bai Yuan's house, was taken by a distinguished guest who visited the Bai family. My sister married a noble man to be an outer room, although she has long been unfavored, but she also has a great backer.

The third child, Bai Shoude, also got an errand in front of the long name, and the five brothers slowly grew up in the village.

Back home, the fourth Bai Xide asked: "It's very lively over there, what's going on?" ”

The second Bai Lude said: "The story is very good, I don't want to leave, the eldest brother has to pull me back." ”

The boss Bai Fu said angrily: "Stories, stories, you know how to listen to stories!" Have you forgotten what we're doing? ”

Bai Lude said: "Big brother, if another Shen lady refuses to remarry, you don't have to worry about it all the time." Her head of the house, before she died, was a classmate with San Langjun, and her father was also a village school teacher, where did our brothers get a good deal? ”

The fifth Bai Caide said: "Aunt Yan is old, and she can't live for a few years." The eldest brother is going to marry Mrs. Shen, won't the 20 acres of land belong to our family? I think that the eldest brother is a good match for Shen Niangzi! ”

Bai Fude thought about it carefully, and soon had a plan: "These two outsiders are already famous in the village. We can't use force, whether it's broken, or killed and thrown into the river, we must know that we did it. This Shen lady is making trouble, I am afraid that she will cause a lawsuit. If we can't make a move, we will ask the old white man to go out! ”

"The old white man doesn't go out of the gate, will he take care of this?" Bai Caide feels unreliable.

Bai Fu sneered: "Li Er's sister-in-law works as a maid in Bai Yuanwai's house. Let her spread the word in the Bai family, and say that Shen Niangzi does not abide by women's morals and raises wild men from other places at home, and sooner or later it will reach the ears of Bai Yuanwai and Lao Taijun. At that time, it will not be Shen Niangzi's business alone, it will affect the reputation of our entire Bai family! ”

"Good idea, big brother's brain is really bright!" Bai Caide said with sincere admiration.

As soon as he thought of Shen Niangzi's handsome appearance, Bai Fu felt itchy all over his body, and he walked around the house, his mind racing to perfect the plan.

……

Bai Qi, a little kid, came to the courtyard cautiously with an oil lamp, and shouted weakly: "Brother Zhu, my mother called you to eat." ”

Zhu Ming immediately sped up the progress, talked nonsense for a while, and then concluded: "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown." Fellow villagers, that's all for today, and I'll come back tomorrow when it's dark, and I won't delay your work during the day. ”

It was indeed late, and although the villagers were not having fun, they were no longer entangled.

The main thing is that tomorrow night, I can come over to listen to the story, and there is hope for the long run.

Just as the villagers were about to leave, Zhu Ming said again: "I know that someone is chewing his tongue, so I will explain it to the gang today." My father and Shen Niangzi's husband, as well as San Langjun from Bai Yuan's foreign family, once traveled together to study abroad. Recently, I passed by your village and stopped by to visit my old friends. It's a pity that San Langjun is not at home, and Shen Niangzi's husband died of illness again. My father and son ran out of entanglement, so they borrowed to live in Shen Niangzi's house, just waiting for Bai Saburo Jun to return to the village to catch up. On the second day of the fourth month, I have to celebrate the birthday of the old lady. ”

When the people heard this, they believed most of them.

It mainly involves the third son of Bai, the truth is false, and when the third son comes back next month, everything will be clear by then.

Zhu Mingming waved a big flag as a tiger skin, took advantage of the authority of the Bai family in the village, and issued a "rumor-refuting announcement" with the help of information difference. Combined with the various stories told before, Zhu Guoxiang created a mysterious aura, and at the same time relied on storytelling to get closer to the villagers.

Take a multi-pronged approach to curb the spread of rumors as much as possible.

Even if someone chews their tongue, they will be diluted by the huge amount of information. Because after today, everyone prefers to talk about the Monkey King, and they prefer to talk about those bizarre overseas experiences.

When talking about the widow's scandal, in view of the fact that they still have to listen to Xiao Zhu Xiucai's story, most of the villagers will be more restrained.

Moreover, Zhu Xianggong is so awesome that he even refused the recruitment of his daughter king, if he hooks up with Shen Niangzi, it will also be a blessing for Shen Niangzi to climb the high branches.

Everyone is on equal footing, and the rumors are a dirty scandal.

If you jump up the ranks, jump out of the ordinary people's level, and then spread rumors and become good talk.

can be taken as an example, if Shen Yourong's scandal object is replaced by an official master, what will be the attitude of the villagers? Of course it's envy! Where is there contempt and ridicule?

The better Zhu Guoxiang performs in the future, the less the rumors will have an impact on Shen Yourong.

The villagers left one after another, and sure enough, they no longer talked about the scandal, but happily talked about "Journey to the West".

The children who had heard the story were still clamoring to pick up sticks, holding them in their hands and calling themselves Monkey King, jumping up and shouting: "Wuna Demon King, eat my old grandson!" ”

When it comes to learning from the scriptures in the future, the demon king of the mixed world will have to be eliminated, and the little children must be shouting: "Goblin, eat my grandson!" ”

The courtyard finally quieted down, and Zhu Ming paced back to the hall to eat.

The lights are on and the meal is ready.

Bai Qi was the first to speak: "Brother Zhu family, is there really that Monkey King in the world?" ”

"It's made up." Zhu Ming said.

The child was extremely disappointed, he had been eavesdropping in the house, and his mind had already flown to Huaguo Mountain.

Mrs. Yan smiled and gave Zhu Ming a dish: "Da Lang really has a way, and the reader is different." ”

Although the old woman didn't know the doorway, she could feel that the attitude of the villagers had changed, and they no longer talked about the widow's scandal.

And to do all this, Zhu Ming only took less than a day.

Zhu Guoxiang asked: "You said that I traveled and studied with Bai Sangongzi, what should I do when others come back and show my stuffing?" ”

Zhu Ming smiled: "Didn't Grandma Yan say it? Every time Bai Sangongzi goes home, he has to visit his mother, wife and children in his classmates, and he will also bring some gifts, and Qi Ge'er's paper and pen are bought by him. Such a person values love and righteousness, and it is related to the reputation of the widow of a classmate, and he will take the initiative to help us hide it. ”

"You've got a good plan." Zhu Guoxiang expressed his approval.

Zhu Ming sighed: "Alas, I will be guilty in the future." Today's talk made my throat dry, and I was more tired than running a 10-hour live broadcast in a row. ”

Shen Yourong didn't know what a live broadcast was, the father and son always popped up some strange words, she was no longer surprised, and only said enthusiastically: "Tell me the story tomorrow night, and I will make tea for Da Lang." ”
