Chapter 389: The Storyteller
, Everyone was attracted by Xiao Er, and someone at one of the tables shouted: "Hey, Xiao Er, is Old Man Bai coming to read the newspaper to us today?" If it weren't for Old Man Bai to read the newspaper, then we wouldn't agree, the hairy young man you Drunken Xianju found last time, this newspaper reading skill is not as good as Old Man Bai. ”
When Xiao Er heard this, he said with a smile: "This guest officer, you are here today, some time ago Old Man Bai was unwell, no, I just recovered my body today, and our shopkeeper invited Old Man Bai back again." ”
"That's a good feeling, hurry up and let Old Man Bai come out quickly, I haven't listened to Old Man Bai's "Journey to the West", this meal is not fragrant." Another table shouted.
"Guest officer, wait a minute, Old Man Bai is old, his legs and feet are slower, and he will come soon." Little Erdao.
"Qingquan, why has this activity changed to the Drunken Immortal Residence, hasn't it been in the East and West City?" Li Yuan's face was strange.
"Hey, Emperor Taishang, do you really think that these people are here to listen to the emperor's policies in the newspaper, and they are not all from the minister's book "Journey to the West." What Zhang Nan said was not false at all.
Except for those scholars who want to make a name for themselves who are more concerned about the policies issued by Comrade Li Er, the people's policies to Li Er are just a whisper, and the people pay more attention to the last story section of the newspaper, nothing else, all because "Journey to the West" is too fascinating.
As he was talking, there was a cheer in the ears of Li Yuan and Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan followed the sound and looked at it, only to find that an old man with gray hair strode to the center of the entire Drunken Immortal Residence, and arched his hand towards the surroundings, which was regarded as a salute.
"Old man Bai, you really made us wait." A diner shouted.
"That's right, how is your body, old man Bai, you are the treasure of this drunken immortal residence, don't dare to have any problems, we all pointed to you to read the newspaper to us." The diners at the other table shouted.
Old Man Bai smiled and arched his hand at the two speakers: "Thank you for your love, old man, my body is also good, and I can finally start reading the newspaper again." ”
"Then what are you waiting for, old man, start quickly, tell us something today? Do you want to talk about this monkey again? ”
"No, no, no, you probably don't know, today's "Datang Daily" is a little different from the past, and today's "Datang Daily" story page is finally a new story." Old Man Bai said with a smile.
"Oh? Qingquan: You're writing a new book again? I left the palace early today, and I didn't even have time to read the newspaper, but the "Journey to the West" you wrote is a bit interesting, and I have already read it. Li Yuan said with a smile.
Zhang Nan was not surprised to hear it, after all, this is Li Yuan, he is going to be interested, he wants to see the things in the back, it is not a matter of one sentence?
After the old man Bai sat down at the table in the middle, he picked up the tea that had been prepared and moistened his throat first, and then said: "I really want to share this story with you first, so we have to change the rules of reading the newspaper today, tell the story first, and then listen to the court." ”
Before Old Man Bai finished speaking, someone shouted hello.
Old Man Bai smiled and bowed his hand, then put down the teacup, put away the smile on his face, slapped the table with his hand, and slowly read out the final poem at the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
I could only hear the old man Bai read in a neutral voice: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
After Li Yuan heard this, he slowly repeated the song "Linjiang Immortal" in his mouth, and then said without looking back: "Qingquan, you can see the affairs of the world more clearly than me." ”
Zhang Nan also hurriedly waved his hand, where can he see clearly, this is clearly what Luo Guanzhong can see clearly.
Of course, the following discussion did not affect Old Man Bai's progress in the slightest, and I only heard Old Man Bai continue: "Everyone, today, let's listen to the affairs of the Three Kingdoms. ”
After speaking, he began to recite the first chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted from Gaozu beheading the white snake and dominated the world, and later Guangwu Zhongxing, passed to Emperor Xian, and was divided into three kingdoms. The reason for the chaos began with the two emperors of Huan and Ling. Emperor Huan imprisoned the good and believed in eunuchs. and Emperor Huan collapsed, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and the generals Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other. From time to time, eunuchs such as Cao Jie seized power, Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to punish them, but they were not secret, but they were harmed, and Zhongjuan became more and more horizontal since then. ”
"Oh? Qingquan, you actually wrote this historical thing, which made me a little impressed. Li Yuan said with some surprise, but compared to Li Yuan's surprise, Zhang Nan is really surprised, this old man's memory is okay, this is a newspaper that just came out today, and the story page must be the latest, and he can recite this this morning, proving that this old man has also worked hard.
However, Zhang Nan didn't speak, but continued to listen, wanting to see if this old man had memorized all the first episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
I have to say that the old man Bai is really powerful, not only reciting the eyes, but also talking about the book with feelings, not a dry memorization, no wonder the diners in the drunken immortal residence like to let this old man come to the book.
When Liu Yan posted the list to recruit the army, Xuande was already twenty-eight years old. When I saw the list that day, I sighed. Then one person said sharply: "The eldest husband does not contribute to the country, why do you sigh?" Xuande looked back at his person, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, his voice was like a huge thunder, and his momentum was like a galloping horse. Xuande saw that he was abnormal in appearance and asked his name. The person said: "A certain surname is Zhang Mingfei, and the word is Yide." He lives in Zhuo County, has a lot of farmland, sells wine and slaughters pigs, and specializes in making friends with the world's heroes. Just when I saw the public looking at the list, I sighed, so I asked. ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Qingquan, you're not right, how can Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide be like this fierce man?" Zhang Feishan is good at cursive, works in strategy, and is an out-and-out Confucian general. ”
When Zhang Nan heard this, he said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this a necessary artistic process?" As the saying goes, art comes from life, which is higher than life. Zhang Nan said with a look of course.
