Chapter 23: Well acted
As night fell, most of the families in Changle Fang had blown out the lights to rest, and they had to rush for tomorrow's food.
Only Zhangjiagao built a funeral shed, which was brightly lit.
Yang Fenglou, together with Liu Puhe, walked into Zhang's house.
Ever since he discovered the whereabouts of Li Xiongfei and Wang Kuo, he has been thinking about how to enter the Zhang family, just in time for Liu Puhe to enter the Zhang family to receive the reward, how could Yang Fenglou let go of this opportunity?
And Liu Puhe and Liu Jiaban, who had received the favor of Yang Fenglou, couldn't stand him to grind hard, although they didn't know his purpose, but under his repeated assurances, they had to bring Yang Fenglou into Zhang's house.
However, to Yang Fenglou's disappointment, the account room for receiving the reward was in the wing room of the front yard, and there was still a courtyard away from the main hall where the spirit was stopped, and from the way they walked, they couldn't see the situation inside at all.
Just when he was secretly anxious, he had already arrived at the account room.
The bookkeeper's surname is Zhang, and he seems to be quite familiar with Liu Puhe, and he speaks very casually.
"Lao Liu, do a good job! This whip sweeps the lanterns, and no one can take it down if there are hundreds of operas in Chang'an City! Your Liu family class is amazing, not only did you take it down, but it was also a soft and hard double whip, and the old man was full of praise when he heard about it, no, it was enough to reward it three times, look at it, this is all full money, you old boy is blessed...... Let's draw a ......."
After speaking, he pointed to Yang Fenglou, "By the way, who is this, looking at Mian Sheng." ”
"This is my nephew, named Liu Gui. Liu Puhe smiled, and said the prepared words while drawing, "Isn't this a disaster and famine in my hometown, come to me, I have been farming in my hometown before, and I only arrived today...... I heard that the old man gave a reward, and I was afraid that my old arms and legs would not be able to take it, so I asked him to follow me, hey, this kid, that is, he has stupid strength......"
Not to mention anything else, Liu Puhe has been acting in the army for I don't know how many years, and there are no flaws in his words, voice, and expressions.
Yang Fenglou has no problem, the later generations have been on stage for ten years, and the performance skills have been honed perfectly, and it is definitely easy to deal with an account room.
His face was slightly red, he smiled honestly, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, which was completely like a rural offspring who had just entered the city.
The bookkeeper was not suspicious at all.
"It's good to come, it's too hard to serve the crops now, and if you have this tax and that tax, you have to serve as a servant, and you can't afford anything all year round...... Learn from your uncle well, just whip the lantern with that hand, and if you learn it well, you will be able to eat it for a lifetime. ”
"Hey!"
Yang Fenglou promised in his mouth, but he was anxious in his heart, seeing that he was about to leave the house after receiving the reward, but he didn't see anything he wanted to explore, wouldn't he enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.
approached Liu Puhe and muttered a few words softly, his eyes dodging, as if he was afraid that his thoughts would be a little out of line and he would be scolded for not understanding the rules.
"What do you say? Let me hear it too. "The bookkeeper was curious.
Liu Puhe glanced at Yang Fenglou in embarrassment, this time it was not a performance, it was really sincere, after listening to the words of the account room, he said with a smile in desperation:
"Alas...... This kid doesn't understand the rules, and he thought about it, he said, the old man ordered our team, that is, he gave us a life-saving meal, and took care of us a lot, and now he has rewarded so much money, he is really a good person, and our drama troupe has nothing to repay, just like going to the mourning hall, kowtowing to the old lady to show his heart...... Aren't you saying that you are ignorant, what kind of identity do we have, which round of kowtow will we go?"
The account room listened and took a deep look at Yang Fenglou, and Yang Fenglou also cooperated to make a depressed look, looking directly at the ground, as if he was a little embarrassed.
The bookkeeper smiled.
"This kid is benevolent and righteous, and he knows how to repay his kindness! If it were the first few days, I would have been able to take you there, but today ......"
He groaned slightly.
"Lao Liu, you also know, tomorrow is the funeral, today the lord they are paying tribute to their ancestors, and then they will use the display, there can be no outsiders......"
"We will kowtow outside the mourning hall and become a ......" Yang Fenglou couldn't help but blurt out when he heard that the account room was going to refuse, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and what he said did not match the image of the honest young man he is playing now.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and then said:
"Aren't we as good as being able to enter the mourning hall......
When he said this, his voice became smaller and smaller, and when he said it, he peeked at Liu Puhe, as if he was afraid that his uncle would be unhappy.
The performance of this detailed action is simply wonderful to the peak, with all the previous performances, the recklessness, restraint, gratitude and gratitude of a simple young man in the countryside, as well as the young man's unyielding energy that does not reach the goal, are vividly performed.
It was this performance that dispelled the concerns of the account office and moved him.
"Good boy, that's good. Okay, today is today, my Lao Zhang will take you over, but it's okay, you can only kowtow outside the mourning hall, and you can't disturb the eldest lord and them......"
"Okay!" Yang Fenglou pretended to be happy.
"You kid......" Liu Puhe shook his head, he was really afraid of any accidents.
This true and false performance made the account room have no suspicion at all.
This is the real good acting!
The three of them walked through a heavy courtyard and entered the main courtyard, where they could see the situation in the mourning hall at a glance.
A group of people were kneeling on the ground dressed in linen and filial piety, howling about the old lady or something, and there was no sadness in their voices.
Seven or eight big men had already put the coffin into the coffin and were placing all kinds of things buried with the coffin.
When Yang Fenglou saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.
It's all gold and silver!
There were so many of them that they were shining, and under the light of the mourning hall, he almost couldn't open his eyes!
In the Tang Dynasty, in the funeral, thick burials were advocated, even if the imperial court repeatedly ordered five declarations, and thick burials among the people became a common practice.
However, the burial items are generally part of gold and silver, and part of terracotta figurines and pottery horses, and there will definitely not be such a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
There's definitely something wrong with that.
Yang Fenglou fixed his eyes and saw that Li Xiongfei and Wang Kuo were among those strong men!
In his heart, he suddenly counted.
However, he saw the two Li Wang, and the Li Wang also saw him.
"What man!?"
As soon as the drink was interrupted, the sound shook the mourning hall, and those people who wore linen and filial piety stopped crying and turned their heads one after another.
"Get on your knees!"
The account room didn't expect such a situation, and couldn't be surprised why these people reacted so much, so he hurriedly whispered and urged Yang Fenglou and the two to kneel.
Yang Fenglou and Liu Puhe just knelt down.
A big man walked out of the mourning hall, dressed in heavy filial piety, with a murderous face.
The bookkeeper was frightened, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Big ...... Big...... The old man ......"
