Chapter 256: The Storyteller

Wang Li, dressed in a gray robe, staggered down the cold streets of the city, because it would not be long before it dawned, and pedestrians were extremely scarce.

"Shhh...... Ho ......"

Wang Li felt a chill in the early morning wind, and his body shivered.

It was hot at first, but it didn't take long for me to feel cold, especially on the streets in the early morning after the rain in the spring.

Shaking the wine jug in his hand, there was no wine in it, Wang Li shook it casually.

The flask crosses a parabola and makes contact with the street floor not far away.

"Pop ......"

After the crisp sound, the wine jug shattered completely, and Wang Li continued to shake away.

Ji Yuan looked down at the broken pottery slag that fell at his feet, and then looked at Wang Li, who was staggering away, and couldn't help frowning, this person's current situation is a little different from what he imagined.

"Wan'er... Wan'er......"

Wang Li muttered in his mouth, tightened his clothes and walked to his residence, he is no longer in the capital, but in the Chengsu Mansion east of the capital section of the Tongtian River, which belongs to Youzhou.

As with Wang Li every time he went to a new place, the location where he lived was a private house, and renting one of the side rooms with the master's family was far more cost-effective for a long time than an inn or something.

"Ah...... Ho...... Yo, Mr. Wang, are you just back?"

The male owner of the house just came out of the house with his waist stretched, and when he saw Wang Li, who was a little shaky, he said hello.

"Hehe, early ......"

Wang Li arched his hand crookedly, walked to his side room, pushed open the door and stumbled and grabbed the doorknob and fell in.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, how much wine have you drunk!"

The man hurriedly went over to help him and helped Wang Li down on the bed.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Wang Li fell on the bed and arched his hand in a daze, then pulled the quilt half over himself, and after a while, he snored.

"Tut-tut-tut......"

The man shook his head, exited the house and closed the door.

The hostess in the main house at the back also got dressed and came out, and when she saw the male owner coming out of the side room, she whispered a question.

"Drinking too much again?"

"Hmm... I drank a lot and fell asleep. ”

"What a good person this Mr. Wang Da was when he came, and now he is like this all day long. ”

"We don't care, as long as he still pays for the house. ”

The two whispered and went back to washing.

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that Wang Li, who was lying on the bed, woke up, rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed, looked around in a trance, and gradually woke up after a while.

Wang Li's face was a little pale, he lifted the quilt and got off the bed, opened the door, the afterglow of the setting sun pierced his eyes, and the smoke in the kitchen next to him was already rising.

"Mr. Wang, are you awake?"

The hostess, who was drying clothes, saw Wang Li come out and greeted him with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Liu, what time is it now?"

"We haven't looked at the Gui watch, but I guess it's almost time, you're up just right, and you have a fish to eat today......

"It's time, I need to get out of ......."

When Wang Li heard the time, he hurriedly patted his face, and then went back to the house to pack up his things, paper fans, waking wood, and books...... They all packed into a baggage, and then hurried out again with the baggage.

"Oops...... Mr. Wang, aren't you eating?"

"If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, I'll rush to the scene!"

Wang Li hurriedly left the courtyard and rushed out, today he was going to a big restaurant to tell a story, and a large family chartered a restaurant to hold a banquet, and invited guests to congratulate the children of the family on being famous in the spring and having the qualifications to be officials.

If Wang Li, the storyteller, does not arrive after the banquet, it will inevitably be regarded as a breach of the agreement, not only do you not want to take the silver behind, but the deposit has to be returned, but the deposit has already been spent.

There were already people coming and going on the street, Wang Li was in a hurry, he didn't care about wiping his sweat and kept trotting forward, and when he hurried to the outside of the Zotye building on a busy street, he was already panting like a cow.

"Ho... Ho... Ho... Ho ......"

There are people welcoming guests outside the Thai building, and decent people, both old and young, are walking towards the building, and they have just arrived outside the building.

"Master Gao, congratulations!" "Master Gao, congratulations!"

"Hahahaha...... Rejoice and rejoice, please come in!"

"Master Gao is so blessed, Ling Lang Jinbang is titled, and in the future, he will be different from us from the government and the people!"

"Ahahahaha......ha

"Master Gao, Master Gao, you will have to take care of our Shengdou Xiaomin in the future!"

"Hahaha, you lord Wang, if you are still a small citizen, isn't my Gao family a market vendor?haha...... Please come in!" "Uncle Wang is polite!"

"Hahaha......"

......

The Gao family greeted the guests with a smile like a flower, and they were not too tired to keep returning the gift, which looked even more joyful than the newlywed.

Wang Lifu gasped violently by the wall not far away, seeing this situation, his mouth could not be relieved, but he was relieved in his heart, it seems that the banquet should not have started yet.

After relieving his breath for a while, Wang Li looked up and down, tidied up his clothes, wiped the sweat on his face and neck with the burden behind his back, and then resumed his steady pace and walked towards Zotye Tower.

Before he got close, Wang Li had already congratulated him with a smile.

"Master Gao, Master Gao, congratulations, Wang is not late, right?"

Master Gao is a very energetic old man in brocade, and Master Gao is also tall and decent, and the two of them also politely returned the courtesy.

"Mr. Wang came at the right time, the banquet has not started yet, I have already ordered the food prepared for you in advance, and someone will entertain you after you enter!"

"Okay, thank you Mr. Gao!"

Wang Li hurriedly entered the Zhongtai Building after giving up his hand again, this will make him really hungry and thirsty, and Master Gao's preparation is exactly what he wants.

As a storyteller, he will bring joy to the guests at the banquet for a while, others can eat and listen at the same time, Wang Li can't talk while eating, considering that storytelling is also a personal work, it is natural to eat in advance.

Immediately after entering the restaurant, a small servant took Wang Li to a private room on the second floor, and a large table of dishes had been prepared, but it was not only Wang Li who ate, but also some women with pianos and chords, they had already moved their chopsticks, and it was obvious that Wang Li was still a little late.

"Mr. Wang, please eat here. ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

The little guy didn't say anything more, and left to go about his own business.

Wang Li was slightly embarrassed to say hello to the group of people in the room, and then he sat down and began to eat, because he was hungry and thirsty, so he naturally ate and drank well, and saw that several ladies on the side chuckled.

After a while, the number of guests who gathered towards the Zhongtai Building gradually decreased, because Master Wang, who had laughed for a while and made his cheek muscles start to sore, also planned to enter the restaurant, and Wang Gongzi stepped in earlier.

"Master Gao, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Linglang for the title of the gold list!"

A peaceful but powerful voice sounded, making the old man and the servants next to him subconsciously turn around, and found that there was a gentleman in a green shirt standing outside, except for a black hosta on his head, there were no jade pendants and other accessories on his body.

"Uh...... What is sir?"

Master Gao replied and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, in the next plan, I wanted to come to Zotye Building for a meal, but when I saw that the Gao family chartered a restaurant to celebrate Gao Gongzi Jinbang High School, I also congratulated, congratulations!"

Ji Yuan pointed to the red card leaning outside the building, which said that the restaurant was chartered by the Gao family to welcome the Gao family's high school for a day, and apologized to the other guest officials who needed to come back another day.

Master Gao suddenly returned the salute.

"Oh, thank you, sir, congratulations!"

Ji Yuan nodded, put down his hand and waved his sleeves, and turned around and walked in the direction of other restaurants and restaurants on the street.

"Hey, sir, please stay! If you don't dislike it, please go upstairs to the banquet together." ”

Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of this gentleman surnamed Ji, Master Gao couldn't help but greet him, and it was just a meal.

Ji Yuan turned around and pretended to think about it slightly, before he smiled and thanked him again.

"Ji Mou first arrived in Baofang, and I have heard that the dishes of Zhongtai Lou taste good, so thank you Master Gao!"

"Sir is gracious, please!"

Master Gao greeted Ji Yuan, and then entered the building together.

Because I didn't know Ji Yuan before, although it was a very happy thing for such a generous gentleman to meet Daohe, it was destined to be impossible to arrange a too lively location, so it was arranged a little outside the second floor.

It doesn't matter if you have any qualifications, and you don't have any qualifications to dislike the rice, the people at this table are obviously not familiar with each other, and after chatting together, with the fragrant and hot dishes, everyone also seems to be harmonious.

"Everyone, my Gao family's literary and opera stars are high, and Lu Yun is prosperous, and I am fortunate to invite Mr. Storyteller, who was once famous in the capital, and now I have invited Mr. Wang Liwang to tell us a book to help the banquet!"

"Ah, that's great!" "Famous in the capital?"

"Tell me stories we haven't heard before. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Wang Li, I really think I've heard of this in the capital, and it is said that he can also play ventriloquism, which is very good!"

"Really?" "That's still fake!"

......

Ji Yuan could hear the words of the guests in the building full of anticipation, and there was a person in front of him carrying a table to the open space in the center of the building, on which the waking wood and other objects had been placed, and someone carried two screens up, showing two semicircles in front and back to hug the table.

Wang Li, on the other hand, held a white paper fan, slowly came out of the private room that was used as a preparation room on one side, and walked behind the screen, and some women held the pipa and the piano, and also went to the side to prepare.

"Guests, today's Gao family is happy, Wang brings you a new book that everyone has never heard of, this book can become quite miraculous, it is taught in the dream of the gods, called "White Deer Yuan"!"

Wang Li's opening remarks immediately raised everyone's interest to a new level, and even Ji Yuan put down his chopsticks with great interest, he also wanted to hear the story of Wang Li's reform.
