Kong Rui was walking on the side of the street, when he saw a small building on the side of the road, and the word "tea" was written on the front door, he thought it was a teahouse, so he walked directly in.

When the teahouse guy saw that a guest came to the door, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Please come to the guest officer." ”

As soon as he entered the inside, Kong Rui found that this teahouse was a little special, after entering the door, there was a large courtyard inside, facing a stage, and some tables, chairs and benches were placed in the courtyard, but no one was drinking tea inside.

Kong Rui felt strange, so he asked the man, "Why don't you have customers in this teahouse?"

The guy originally saw that Kong Rui was dressed ordinarily, and asked such a strange question, so he ignored him and said: "If the guest officer is rich, someone will naturally come." ”

Kong Rui was even more strange, did he have to pay for the guests to come to the door? But he was young and curious, and naturally wanted to know what was going on, so he took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his pocket, threw it to the man, and asked him, "Is this money enough?"

As soon as the guy saw that the ingot of silver was ten taels, he immediately said to Kong Rui with a smile on his face: "Enough, enough, what kind of drama does the guest officer want?" ”

Kong Rui realized that this teahouse is actually also a theater, and those who come first have the right to order the play first, of course, they pay more, as soon as the play starts, there will be tea guests coming immediately, and they can pay less and watch more plays. It's just that it's too early, and before it's time for ordinary people to have fun, Kong Rui came in in a daze and did a big deal.

Where did Kong Rui know what kind of drama he had, and now that the money was paid, he had to say to his buddy: "Just play what you are best at!"

As soon as the guy saw that he met a person who was not very expert, he was secretly happy in his heart, so he wanted to pit him, and hurriedly said: "You don't know, guest officer, the people in the troupe are not ready yet." The small one will be arranged for you immediately, and you will have to wait a little longer. ”

Of course, Kong Rui didn't want to waste time here, and he didn't care about the money, so he said to his buddy: "I'm not good at ordering plays, and you don't want them to prepare, I'll just ask you a few questions." ”

When the guy saw such a cheap thing, he was overjoyed, and he was about to speak, but he heard someone next to him say, "Just order a "Hu Jia Jiang"." ”

Kong Rui looked back and saw an old man in his fifties standing next to him, looking at him with concern, but he didn't know the old man.

As soon as the guy saw the old man, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Old Wangtou, why are you again!" and hurriedly said to Kong Rui: "Guest officer, you don't have to worry about him, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Kong Rui was curious, so he asked the guy, "Who is this?"

The guy glanced at the old man dissatisfied, and said to Kong Rui respectfully: "This old king is the one who thinks about rubbing others to watch the play all day long, and he has no money to watch the play, and he is blind, where is this "Hu Jiajiang" that he dares to sing now?" He wanted to explain it to Kong Rui as soon as possible, so he said one more sentence.

As soon as he heard this, Kong Rui suddenly became interested and asked, "What kind of play is this "Hu Jiajiang", why don't you dare to sing it now?"

"This "Hu Jiajiang" is about the affairs of the loyal ministers of the previous dynasty, and now in this world, where do you dare to sing the drama of the loyal ministers of the former dynasty?"

Kong Rui's heart moved, and he said to the guy: "You go and pour us some tea first." He thought that instead of asking the man something, it would be better to ask the old king, so he sent the man away first, and then said to the old king: "Uncle Wang, come and sit here." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, glared at the old king, and could only invite them to sit in the front and middle of the upper seat first, and then go to pour them tea.

It turned out that this old king was a big drama fan, so he did some small business next door, selling some recreational things to those who came to watch the play, and he also rubbed other people's plays to watch on weekdays, and every time he saw someone enter the theater, he immediately handed over the business to his wife, and ran over to mix it up, hoping to order his favorite play.

This time, Lao Wangtou didn't expect that Kong Rui, who he met this time, would not be able to order a play, and immediately shouted out his favorite "Hu Jia Jiang", which he had not seen for many years.

Although the old king's head was immediately robbed by the guys, what he didn't expect was that Kong Rui actually invited him to sit together, although he saw Kong Rui's shabby clothes, and he didn't know how much Kong Rui paid, but he clearly knew that since he could afford to play, he must be regarded as a rich master, so he sat next to him worriedly.

Kong Rui asked the old king: "Uncle Wang, what kind of plays do you like to watch on weekdays?"

Seeing that Kong Rui is young, he thinks that he must like something heroic and beautiful, and he doesn't dare to order those things that are out of fashion, so he suggests ordering a "Taibai Drunk Writing" at the moment.

The play "Taibai Drunk Writing" is about the story of Li Taibai in the Tang Dynasty, when Li Taibai took advantage of the Tang Ming Emperor and Yang Guifei to drink and enjoy the flowers, and also took advantage of the drunken season, he asked Gao Lishi to spread paper and polish ink for him, wide clothes and take off his boots, and teased the story of Gao Lishi, which can be regarded as a lottery for Kong Rui, and there is nothing related to the current situation.

Although Kong Rui had read some books, most of them were related to cultivation, and he didn't understand much about the things of the previous dynasties, and of course he didn't know what this "Taibai Drunk Writing" was about, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing the guy bringing tea, Kong Rui said to him: "Man, then let's order a "Taibai Drunk Writing". ”

The guy saw that Kong Rui finally ordered the play, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with the old king, so now he had to agree, and said to Kong Rui with a smile: "Guest officer, the drama troupe is not ready yet, please wait a little longer." Kong Rui naturally didn't have any problems, so he chatted with the old Wang Tou about some other things.

Sure enough, as soon as the gong sounded at the beginning of the troupe, many people soon came to the courtyard, and the rest of the tables were also occupied, but everyone knew the situation of the people sitting at the table in the middle of the front, and they would not squeeze a table with Kong Rui, and the courtyard immediately became lively for a while.

Kong Rui didn't know much opera, but he listened to the rhythm quite well, and seemed to be reproducing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty; Lao Wang Tou saw that Kong Rui didn't seem to know about opera, so he hurriedly explained to Kong Rui some of the background of "Taibai Drunk Writing", for fear that after this person left unhappily, he could only stand in the corridor to watch the play.

I don't want the old king to be hurt by the scene, thinking that when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the people of the Tang Dynasty had not yet been fully civilized, and they sent countless envoys to the Tang Dynasty to study in our Great Yan Kingdom, and they didn't want the court to be incompetent now, so they let this great river and mountain fall into the hands of the people, and they couldn't help but bring out some of their own thoughts in their speeches.

Thinking of Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei in this play, the old king said to Kong Rui: "Brother, I am the most prosperous Tang Dynasty in the former dynasty of the Great Yan Kingdom, with a vast territory, harmonious politics, rich country and strong people, and the Quartet to come to the court." Such a Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a mistake on this Yang Yuhuan. ”

Kong Rui was a little puzzled, and was about to ask him, but he heard someone next to him say: "The old man is poor, how can this Yang Yuhuan be a woman, how can he mislead the country? The decline of the Tang Dynasty was caused by the Tang Dynasty emperor's lack of progress." "It turns out that the people of this Great Yan Kingdom have traditionally believed that emperors are good emperors since ancient times, and the decline of the country is caused by other reasons, such as traitorous ministers and the party, and the red face of the country, etc., so this old king also pushed the origin of the decline of the Tang Dynasty to Yang Guifei, and he didn't want to be broken by others. Kong Rui and Lao Wang Tou looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties standing behind him, with an extraordinary atmosphere, followed by two entourages, and he couldn't see any way out.

Although Kong Rui didn't know anything about politics, he was not influenced by too many traditional thoughts, and he also knew that if it caused the country to decline, it must be the emperor's problem.

The man was not polite, so he sat next to Kong Rui, and without greeting the two entourages behind him, he said to Kong Rui: "Old man Xiaoyi, I don't know what to call this little friend?"

Kong Rui thought that in this mortal world, there was no need to use a fake name to deceive people, so he said: "Boy Kong Rui." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Kong. The elder brother asked the old man to take a seat, presumably he also recognized what the old man said just now?"

"The kid really thinks Uncle Xiao is right. Kong Rui originally had this meaning, so he responded to him.

The old king was beside him, opened his mouth, and finally held back and did not speak, and sat on the side and watched the play quietly.
