Chapter 160: The Audience Is Extraordinary
But maybe Gray Mian thought that he hadn't achieved his original intention, but even if Zhuo Qing said such words, the sense of distance had already been unconsciously generated.
Being able to say these words with a smile and ease actually represents a kind of relief.
Although Yi Shuyuan, who was sitting inside the teahouse, was talking to Tan Yuansheng, he also heard Zhuo Qing and Gray Mian's words.
Different from Gray Mian's slight distress, Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhuo Qing and Gray Mian when he heard this, he should have pretended not to pay attention.
"Then it's decided, Mr. Yi, I'm waiting for you at home! Today I say goodbye! Tan Yuanshang happily bowed his hand to Yi Shuyuan again, and Yi Shuyuan returned his senses and replied.
"Master Tan, rest assured, Yi will definitely not break his promise."
"Hahahaha, okay, farewell!"
Tan Yuanshang can be said to be in a good mood, smiled and led the servants out of the teahouse, and when she went out, she also looked across the street, just an ordinary woman, so she didn't pay much attention.
In the afternoon of the same day, Tan Yuanshang had lunch at home and went directly into the palace.
There is no need to show any gold medals, just Tan Yuansheng's face and this name are enough for him to pass through various levels
Into the depths of the palace.
In the imperial study, Emperor Dayong was taking a nap, lying on a soft couch, with his head resting on the lap of his favorite concubine, who gently helped the emperor rub his forehead.
At this time, even the close eunuch Zhang Liangxi retreated outside the curtain of the inner room.
However, there was a little eunuch outside to report the matter, so Zhang Liangxi took small steps into the inner room and reported in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Tan Gong is here."
The emperor opened his eyes, but this time he did not shirk because of official duties.
"Let him in."
"Yes!"
When Tan Yuanshang entered the imperial study with a smile on his face, the emperor had already sat up, pretending to be holding a book, and looked at the comer when he heard footsteps.
"Grass people Tan Yuanshang has seen Your Majesty!"
"Yuanshang, there is no need to be polite between you and me!"
Tan Yuanshang put away her etiquette and smiled.
"Your Majesty remembers the friendship with the grass people, and the grass people understand it, but the etiquette cannot be abolished!"
The Emperor put down the book and asked with a relaxed expression.
"You seem to be very happy to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, do you have any good news for me?"
"Hey, Your Majesty, who knows me, too! Your Majesty, do you remember what the minister said about inviting Your Majesty to listen to the book? ”
The emperor is happy, it's this matter again, but this kind of Tan Yuansheng is the Tan Yuansheng he knows, after so many years, many things have changed, but Tan Yuansheng can still say this kind of thing in this tone.
Fortunately, he didn't listen to me to become an official.
The thought rose in the emperor's heart, and he replied with a smile.
"That's it, it's not easy for you to come three times and twice, I'll give you this face, when will you go to listen to the book?"
"Smack~"
Tan Yuanshang clapped his hands.
"Your Majesty, you are truly divine! I invited the storyteller to my house several times to give a lecture, but I did not move him no matter what method I used, but today he agreed, because His Majesty wanted to hear it! ”
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Tan Yuansheng was really sincere and seventy percent sycophant, and the emperor couldn't help but show surprise when he heard it.
"And the storyteller that you Tan Daguan invited? He's so bold! ”
The emperor's words were also a joke, and Tan Yuanshang knew what he meant when he heard this, so he took a few steps closer and said it in detail.
"Your Majesty, do you know that this storyteller is not ordinary, and the other storytellers in the city are just babbling in front of him, like a young child reading from a book!"
The concubine sitting next to the emperor was also aroused by curiosity and couldn't help asking.
"How can there be such a gap?"
"Niangniang doesn't know, this gap will only be bigger than Tan said!"
As he spoke, Tan Yuanshang put the four books on the table, and the emperor and his concubines looked at it, and the book cover read "River God Falls"
Good guys, the four books are the complete version of Yi Shuyuan's "River God Falls", and even the afterword of this morning's lecture is there, and he didn't forget to seal the book into a volume.
"This person's surname is Yi, I don't know where he is from, I only know that he once told stories in Mingzhou, and he has already made a lot of fame in Mingzhou City at that time, and he is known for his storytelling ability, which is the sixteenth unique in Mingzhou!"
The name of the fifteen uniques of Mingzhou is not small, it can be said that it is famous, and a person who tells stories is known as the sixteenth unique.
It aroused the curiosity of those present.
Tan Yuanshang didn't sell it anymore, and continued with a smile.
"This person is excellent in oral skills, outstanding in learning, and his whimsical ideas are endless, listening to his books, as if he was in the scene, and in a trance it is like sleepwalking in a book............ Your Majesty, borrow a pen and paper. ”
Tan Yuanshang got the emperor's approval, so he took the pen and paper on the table, and wrote four words on the corner of the table.
"Immersive?"
The emperor read it, and Tan Yuanshang nodded.
"The grass people can afford goosebumps every time, as if they have seen the mystery in the book in their minds, this person's skills, among the storytellers throughout the ages, it is difficult to have the right one, but for everyone!"
"Is it really that powerful?"
The concubine couldn't help but ask.
Tan Yuanshang nodded and said in a low voice.
"This person doesn't seem to be for fame and fortune, but just for the sake of it, and I promise a lot of benefits, but the person is still unmoved. …… Your Majesty, you know me, and the benefits I promise are not just lip service, but will definitely show sincerity........."
"At the beginning, I went to Mingzhou to see the so-called sixteenth unique, but he had already left Mingzhou at that time, I thought to myself, it is estimated that it is also an exaggeration, and he was demolished.
Saying that, Tan Yuanshang shook his head again.
"Your Majesty, you will never think of why he agreed to the invitation of the grass people, on the one hand, it is naturally because maybe the heavens feel that Your Majesty will also agree today, so there is this matter.."
The Emperor smiled.
"Less sycophants!"
"Yes, yes, hehe, on the other hand, this person doesn't mention gold and silver interests, but wants to ask the grass people to do a favor."
Tan Yuanshang put the pen back in its original position.
"He has a friend from the rivers and lakes, who seems to have a love affair with a girl in the Yunxiang Pavilion on the thirteenth floor, and wants to redeem the woman, but that place is too sensitive and deeply involved."
"Although Mr. Storyteller did not agree to my invitation before, he must have already understood the grass people and was very human, so he asked me to help the girl get out of the thirteenth floor and return to her good home."
The emperor nodded slightly.
"I see, it's a person who values love and righteousness."
"Your Majesty, when is it convenient for you?"
When Tan Yuanshang said this, the emperor himself was really curious, and wanted to see the power of the storyteller with his own eyes, so he replied.
"Before the palace test, it is convenient for me, and you can choose the day."
"Obey~~"
Tan Yuanshang hurriedly saluted loudly!
This made the big eunuch Zhang Liangxi on the side almost laugh, and at the same time, he was also sighing in his heart, Your Majesty really can't miss Tan Gong by his side.
Two days later, in the evening, Yi Shuyuan came to Tan's mansion early.
Although he was already mentally prepared, the scale of the Tan Mansion was still a little startled by Yi Shuyuan.
This is the city of Chengtianfu where every inch of land is valuable, the Mo Mansion in Mingzhou was not small at the beginning, but it was a normal large family, and the scale of the Mo Mansion was placed here in the Tan Mansion, at most it could only be regarded as a small courtyard in the house.
There are many pavilions and pavilions in the whole Tan Mansion, and there is far more than one rockery and flowing water, and the buildings are high and low, and there are even special stage and book pavilions.
Tan Yuanshang entertained Yi Shuyuan with the specifications of the guests, and the housekeeper took Yi Shuyuan around, and also set a table of dishes for him alone.
After Yi Shuyuan was full of wine and food, Tan Yuanshang appeared.
It wasn't Tan Yuansheng's intention, he came back after going to the palace in person, and then found Yi Shuyuan who was walking in one of the gardens.
"Mr. Yi, the hospitality is not good, if you have any other requirements, just put it forward!"
"Thank you, Master Tan, everything prepared in the house has already amazed Yi, when will we start?"
Yi Shuyuan stood on the edge of the pool, looking at the chubby fish in the pool, and couldn't help but think of Lu Yuwei, they stood here and talked, and the fish gathered over, as if they thought they were going to feed.
Tan Yuanshang said with a smile.
"Mr. Yi wait for a while, there are still distinguished guests at home who have not arrived, Mr. is rare to come to the book, miss this time, and I don't know when I will be able to invite Mr. again."
"Listen to Master Tan's arrangement, Yi is not in a hurry!"
It's not just a matter of please move, Yi Shuyuan thought that maybe you wouldn't be able to find me.
"Oh yes, Mr. Yi, the matter of Yunxiang Pavilion is no longer a problem, should I send someone over, or should I accompany your friend and Miss Zhuo Qing together?"
Yi Shuyuan solemnly saluted Tan Yuansheng.
"It's best to let Miss Zhuo Qing go with you, but if you can get rid of her heart, otherwise she may feel that it is not real."
"Okay, let's arrange it this way!"
Tan Yuanshang is also willing to talk to Yi Shuyuan more, this storyteller is not just insightful about storytelling.
The two chatted by the fishpond until a servant trotted over.
"Sir, the distinguished guest is here!"
Tan Yuanshang was overjoyed and looked at Yi Shuyuandao.
"Sir, let's get ready, we'll start in a moment!"
Yi Shuyuan nodded, watched Tan Yuanshang and his servants leave quickly, then looked up at the sky, and then looked in the direction of the front yard of the mansion.
Purple gas soars into the sky, should shine on the Ziwei Emperor Star, good guy, is the emperor here tonight?
In the attic of one of the courtyards of the Tan Mansion, it was full of guests at the moment.
Behind the table with all kinds of food, sat the family members of Tan Yuansheng's family, and also sat the emperor who came out of the palace
A few concubines, as well as a few princes and princesses who are not too old, will fight with the children of the Tan family from time to time.
Yi Shuyuan's table and chair were at the end of the pavilion, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this battle.
No one told Yi Shuyuan that the emperor was here, and he was called the second master, but there was a lot of vigilance around him.
And there is also an acquaintance, it is the great eunuch Zhang Liangxi who has been seen in Yuezhou, this father-in-law's martial arts may be one step away from the congenital, and he is standing by the emperor's side at this moment.
When Yi Shuyuan entered the hall, the guests and hosts all looked at him, and he also bowed in the direction of the guests, and then sat down peacefully and put out his own folding fan.
The emperor is also looking at this storyteller at the moment, he does have a bit of good bearing, and his long gray hair is also a little more colorful, but if he knows that he is facing the emperor and concubine, I don't know if he can remain calm?
"Second master, can you start?"
Tan Yuanshang asked, the emperor nodded, and the latter looked at Yi Shuyuandao.
"Mr. Yi, shall we start?"
Yi Shuyuan nodded, the folding fan in his hand slowly unfolded, grabbed the ruler and gently dropped it on the table.
"Smack~"
The voice was not loud, but it was very refreshing, and some of the princes and princesses and children of Tan Mansion who were still whispering were taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the storyteller.
"I was invited today, and I have the opportunity to tell a story here, thanks to your appreciation, I will talk about the "River God Falling" below!"
Yi Shuyuan's voice was very special, even if he hadn't used his ventriloquist yet, it attracted some naughty children in the hall who didn't dare to take care of it.
When the "little girl in the book" cried out after covering her face, the guests were nervous, and some light and dark guards subconsciously looked sideways.
The sacrifice to the river god in the first paragraph, under the condition that Yi Shuyuan controlled the rhythm, took most of the hour, and the guests couldn't get out of that tense atmosphere for a long time after listening to it.
Yi Shuyuan drank tea there to moisten his throat and rest for a while, and the emperor and others were also amazed and praised in the guest seats.
"Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to deceive the king, they really didn't lie, right?"
Tan Yuanshang asked the emperor in a low voice, and the latter nodded thoughtfully.
"This person's skills are indeed miraculous, and the story he tells actually has traces to follow, the matter of sacrificing the river god in the middle of the canal, from the time when Emperor Taizu was fighting for hegemony in the world, until the founding of Dayong for decades, there is still the evil of human sacrifice*****
As he spoke, he looked at Tan Yuansheng.
"This person uses history as a mirror to borrow the past and the present, and the text has its own far-reaching implications, and it is not just about making up myths...."
Some people died, but not completely......
