Chapter 263: Listening to the Book

The changes in the DPRK and the central government made the Jingguo Mansion lively again, Master Li was busy for a day, how much strength did the two sides in the court and the opposition have, which were the people of Wu Jingguo, which were the emperor's people, which were the grass on the wall, which gangs were attracted on the rivers and lakes, which masters were invited, Master Li was listed one by one, reported to Wu Jingguo, and then through the 'four-eared old man', 'black ant', Ji Han two, Zhao Ji, Laohu, Rui Poma, Luo Mosa, Jin Milling and other powerful people in the DPRK and China, the masters of the rivers and lakes analyzed and compared the strength of the enemy and me, drew up a plan, and who was contained' Dragon God', who will deal with Ouyang Zhonglu, which ones should be in the center to prevent accidents, etc., have been assigned to people just to wait for the order to be issued once they start to do their jobs, each performing its own duties, each doing its own thing.

Master Li is the hardest-working, last time he was put on a side, his position in Wu Jingguo's heart is already in jeopardy, the so-called fire eyebrows and take care of the present, as for whether Wu Jingguo will cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future if something happens, he can only wait until later, the top priority is that he must save his position in Wu Jingguo's heart, otherwise he will be unhappy and will kill him at any time, and it is not too late to find a way to retaliate against the impermanence of the drunken impermanence when he is trusted. Master Li was thinking about himself in his heart, and as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he happened to meet him head-on.

"It's so late, Master Li, where are you going?" said to Master Li with a smile like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

"Lord Yu came at a good time. Master Li said sarcastically, he had become enemies with impermanence, and he was secretly on guard in his heart.

"Well, it's a bit delayed, seeing that Master Li is so confident, could it be that some top master was invited back today?"

"Don't you know which masters you have invited, why do you still come to ask me?" Master Li asked rhetorically, sneering in his heart: "If you tell him the list of new masters alone, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not publicize the news in order to deal with himself, and Wu Jingguo will be unable to argue with him when the time comes." โ€

Yu Wuchang sighed and said: "Alas, if there is no foreign aid to deal with the 'Dragon God', it is not an easy task, Master Li, is there any good way?"

Master Li said: "I am only a shallow learner in the next year, and I am about to rely on the clever plan of Lord Xu. โ€

Yu Wuchang said: "Well, Lord Ben recommends a few people to you." The world's masters have changed several times, Jinghong is always the one at the bottom, as expected, his patience has also endured to the extreme, with his character, spending money to ask for the rising star 'Thor' to guide him can't pull that face, if the governor is willing to promise the royal martial arts, he may be able to buy him. โ€

Master Li said: "Thank you, Lord Xu, I will arrange for someone to go to Jinghong to try." โ€

Yu Wuchang said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the ten monsters of Leishan are obsessed with research, although the martial arts are strong, they are still second, and they have strange weapons in their hands, and they may break the firearms battalion." โ€

Master Li frowned, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Lord Yu is well-informed, and I admire him." โ€

"This sycophant...... Comfortable. Yu Wuchang nodded, smiled at the guards guarding the door, and walked into the courtyard, Master Li snorted coldly and walked away quickly.

The weather was cold, but there were more than a dozen people listening to books sitting in a simple wooden shed on 'Shili Street', they seemed to be not afraid of the cold, eating tea, and talking about everything.

After all, there are not many places to eat and drink tea and listen to books in the capital, and these people are not all people who love to listen to books, many of them are laborers who work nearby, and some are tired of carrying the burden to do small business and simply rest and eat something to avoid the cold.

There are no less than 300 storytelling stalls like this in the whole capital, and there are also some high-grade ones said in the teahouse, sheltered from the wind and rain, and the food is correspondingly richer, and the tea money is naturally much higher.

The different places where the storytelling is faced, the guests are different, the content of the different books is different, the books in the teahouse are mostly talented and beautiful, literati and scholars, governing the country and other contents, Mr. Storyteller is generally to lift people, show talents, these unambitious readers, Wen Si is better to have poetry and books, occasionally say two stories of rivers and lakes, myths and monsters are also quoted scriptures and classics gushing, that is, when it comes to meat jokes, there are also many descriptions, the intention is not to show the skin, in the teahouse is to pay attention to the identity, is pomp, even an illiterate rich businessman has to sit down and pretend to be intoxicatedใ€‚

The teahouse is not so particular, some of the teahouse storytellers often change, everyone has their own things, better novelty, and some teahouses are dominated by good old gentlemen, the old gentleman is well-informed, and the book is full of humor, back to the buckle, people can't bear to come.

And like this kind of tea stall, the listeners are varied, the good and the bad are uneven, and the storytellers are also all kinds of strange and strange, among which there are real gentlemen and storytellers who distort allusions and nonsense purely for the sake of the guests, some are known for their meat jokes and have benefited a lot, and some are mainly mythical, telling the good and the good and the evil and the evil are retribution, these words can often be said into the hearts of ordinary people, after all, the poor people have limited money and power, and they can't do much bad things if they want to be bad.

There are also bold storytellers who criticize the court and insult the world, and there are also storytellers who wash the ground for corrupt officials and discredit heroes, a story set of countless characters, and some don't even bother to change their names, and the people only want to have fun, what do you care, what does Mr. say, how do you believe it, the gods can fabricate one hundred and eighty, let alone a story, and listen to the book another day and then boast to others that they have extraordinary knowledge, as if they have mastered the way of heaven and earth.

The storyteller of the tea stall here likes to tell some martial arts stories and mythological stories, and more is the story of the protagonist who has gone through hardships and eventually becomes a generation of masters or gods, this kind of story is very suitable for the taste of ordinary people, after all, everyone wants to get ahead but not everyone has that opportunity, it is worth borrowing a story to get addicted, it is a more ingenious technique, but despite this, the tea guest will get bored if he listens to it too much, so the storyteller will copy two paragraphs with a little meat joke, with a bit of humor in the set poem, the effect is often good.

If you are a person who often listens to books here, you will find that at least eight or nine of the dozen or so people here today are familiar faces, one of the fat men is particularly conspicuous, his conspicuousness is not only because he is the only fat man in this group of poor people, but also because he is the only cripple in this group of people, there are several people behind the fat man with weathered faces, covered with dust, it seems that they are all toiling people, there are two people sitting next to the fat man, the person on the left is sloppy and sloppy, stained with oil and full of wine, holding two dice in his hand and rubbing back and forth to play, the person on the right is covered with dust, his face is a little sallow, it is covered with dirt, and his eyes wander as if he is looking at the people on the bookshelfใ€‚

As soon as the waking wood sounded, the noise stopped slightly, and the storyteller read: "'The bell outside the clouds is the tea in the Zen inside, and the old robe of the lonely shadow of the green mountain. I don't know where the monk is going under the moon? The yellow robe fell on the widow's house. โ€™โ€

After the recitation of the four sentences, everyone burst into laughter, and the drunken man to the left of the fat man shouted, "Hey, old man, who is that widow? It can't be your daughter-in-law, right?"

The storyteller laughed and did not answer, but the lame fat man refused to say: "Why is it the old gentleman's daughter-in-law? Maybe it's still your daughter-in-law!"

The drunken man hiccuped and said, "A joke, what's the hurry, and I didn't say anything about your daughter-in-law." โ€

The fat man said: "I just can't get used to people like you." โ€

The drunken man stood up and said, "Dead lame, isn't it itchy skin?"

The storyteller saw that he was about to make trouble again, so he hurriedly hugged his fists to apologize, but the fat man was not afraid, and slapped the table and said: "Where is the horse urine drunk, it is playing prestige here, I want to hear it, I don't want to hear it." The man on the fat man's right side couldn't help but smile as he watched the fat man snuggle up to the table.

'Bang', the drunken man slapped the table, reached out and grabbed the fat man's neckline, the fat man was furious, and suddenly stood up, but because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he stumbled a little, almost tripped, and saw that the fat man was about to suffer, the person on his right hand was about to speak, and suddenly a lazy voice floated over in the distance: "Fat man, I haven't seen you for half a month, you are quarreling with people again, and you don't want the remaining leg?"

The fat man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he snorted and said, "My brother is an official in the court, and if you don't let go, I will lock you carefully." โ€

The drunken man glanced at the place where the voice came from, and saw a person dressed in black and snorting melon seeds, and he wandered over, he neither wore an official uniform nor hung a waist card, and his figure was not very strong, it seemed that it was just a fat man's boos and intimidation, and the drunken man would have some punches and kicks, and immediately sneered and said: "What else can I do if I hit you?" raised his hand and smashed a fist on the fat man's nose, the fat man thought that he didn't dare to make a move, and he didn't have any precautions, this punch smashed squarely, and the nosebleed flowed out.

The drunken man took advantage of the 'haha' smile and sneered: "Isn't your brother an official in the imperial court? The fat man was furious and threw his fist back, and the drunken man took two steps back and sat back at the table, the fat man's legs and feet were inconvenient, and this punch failed to catch up.

The man in black knocked the melon seeds and sat down next to the fat man's right side in a hurry, gloating at him, the fat man was very angry, but he couldn't catch up when he wanted to fight back, and he might not be able to beat if he caught up. The man to the right of the fat man slowly stood up, put down a stack of copper coins, and turned to leave.

'Smack', his shoulders tightened, and a palm fell on him: "Friend, is there any urgency to leave before the opening?"

The man said: "The old mother at home is seriously ill, so I came to invite Langzhong to take a look." โ€

"It's amazing, my mother is seriously ill and my friend still has the leisure to listen to books, it's really a filial son. The man in black asked.

"There are a lot of people in the pharmacy, and Lang Zhong can't get out, so he takes a sip of tea while waiting. The man said.

The man in black glanced at the tea leaves floating on the water, as well as a plate full of untouched snacks and smiled: "Coincidentally, we all know the pharmacy of this generation, from the shopkeeper to the miscellaneous guys, I don't know which pharmacy my friend went to just now, and which Langzhong is looking for?"

The man said: "When we meet in Pingshui, it is inconvenient to tell each other, friends forgive me." โ€

The man in black said: "It's okay, you and I hit it off at first sight, I'll help you find Langzhong, and I'll help you treat the old lady's illness." โ€

The man frowned, smiled and said, "Thank you so much, brother." He glanced at the pharmacy across the street, and saw a figure walking inside, so he sat back in his seat and said, "There are a lot of patients in the pharmacy, so let's listen to the book first." โ€

The man in black smiled and said, "Okay." "Sit down slowly.
