The whole story is fascinating and interlocking.
Everyone listened with great interest.
But when he turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"The teacher said at the beginning that "Liao Zhai" is a book about demons, ghosts, immortals and Buddhas. Why is there no demons, ghosts and immortals in "Rouge"?"
"Yeah yeah."
After everyone was reminded, they realized that there were indeed no ghosts in what they heard just now.
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said: "It is true that there are no ghosts and gods in "Rouge", but have you ever really seen ghosts and gods in this world?"
"As the saying goes, never do anything wrong in your life and not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The murderer has a ghost in his heart, so he exposed his trap. Before that, he wanted to frame him and get away. So sometimes, people's hearts are more powerful than ghosts and gods. It’s scary, the ghosts in the heart are also ghosts.”
As those words fell, someone in the hall murmured.
"well said!!"
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, that's how it should be, that's how it should be, hahaha..."
"That Shi Xue who solved the case is also a wonderful person."
"Yes, yes."
"There's a reward!"
The waiter came forward with a bamboo basket in hand, and if he felt satisfied with what he heard, he would put two coins in his hand.
In just a moment, there were nearly a hundred copper coins in the bamboo basket. Some of them were generous and threw a tael of silver into the basket.
"When this gentleman first comes to the stage, it should be a gift for him to appear on stage."
"I thank you sir."
After Mr. Cao noted this person down, he went to the back. After going around, the reward money was piled up in the entire bamboo basket, and it was a bit difficult to carry it.
In fact, it’s not about how good the storyteller is on stage, but that the listeners in the audience will give him some respect if he comes on stage on this day. In previous years, storytellers who came on stage at the beginning of the year were also treated in this way, which is not unusual.
Shopkeeper Zhuang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I managed to hold on."
However, it is worth mentioning that this gentleman left him in suspense today, which was completely different from yesterday.
But I was mistaken. It looked like he had real skills. Yesterday, he was just showing off his skills.
After Mr. Cao finished his work, he went to serve tea to Chen Changsheng.
"Sir, drink some tea to soothe your throat."
"Good work."
Chen Changsheng thanked him, and then saw Shopkeeper Zhuang coming to greet him.
"Mr. Chen is really talented, Zhuang admires him."
"Thank you very much, the shopkeeper, but Chen still has a lot to do."
These words are not modest, they are indeed lacking in temperament.
Shopkeeper Zhuang can also see this.
Shopkeeper Zhuang sat down and asked, "Sir, why don't you talk about Journey to the West? With your insights and poems on this book, you will definitely win the applause of the whole house."
Chen Changsheng said: "The shopkeeper probably doesn't want Chen to be asked to leave."
Shopkeeper Zhuang understood immediately when he heard this.
"Yes!"
Shopkeeper Zhuang smiled and said, "I asked you why you didn't talk about "Journey to the West" today, but Zhuang is too talkative."
The gentleman before was asked to leave just because he spoke well, but he remembered it.
Now there is only one seedling in Qingshan City, and we can no longer let others snatch it away.
As for why Chen Changsheng didn’t talk about Journey to the West...
In fact, I just simply don’t want to talk about it.
When he talked about it, he would always think of the late county magistrate when he went to Beijing.
Shopkeeper Zhuang asked again where the words of "Liao Zhai" came from.
Chen Changsheng only said that it was written by his predecessors, and he also heard it from others. Journey to the West was the original text that he had been exposed to in his previous life and had to practice spiritual practice in this life. However, in Liaozhai, Chen Changsheng only read a few of the most popular ones. It was brilliant, so naturally he couldn’t remember the whole text, otherwise he would start from the beginning.
"Is this so..."
Shopkeeper Zhuang secretly thought it was a pity, and then asked: "Sir, will you also teach "Liao Zhai" tomorrow?"
"Exactly." Chen Changsheng nodded.
Shopkeeper Zhuang said: "It is said that experts know the way of things, and Zhuang should not be involved in this. However, the gentlemen drinking tea in the teahouse are not easy to take care of. I can't help but say a few words. I would like to ask the chapter that Mr. Sir is going to talk about tomorrow compared to this " How about "Rouge"?"
He is just afraid that what he will say tomorrow will not be as good as today, and this will inevitably lead to a lot of criticism.
Chen Changsheng said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, what I will say tomorrow will be right!"
Shopkeeper Zhuang smiled and said, "I feel relieved after Mr. You said this!"
In addition, there was a lot of reward money today. As previously agreed, 50% was given to Mr. Zhuang, but shopkeeper Zhuang took an extra 10% as a favor.
Chen Changsheng couldn't bear it, so he accepted it, and when the time came, he left the teahouse.
…
In the blink of an eye, several more days and nights passed.
After having Mr. Storyteller, the business of Tangji Tea House was much better than before. And when Mr. Chen told the story of "Nie Xiaoqian" the next day, the business in the tea house became a little too busy.
Shopkeeper Zhuang didn't expect such a big response, so he hired another waiter to help, and then he calmed down a little, so as not to neglect others.
He also didn't expect that the stories in "Liao Zhai" were so attractive. The ghosts, gods, immortals, and various things told by Mr. Chen were particularly true and touching. Some people even came all the way from Beicheng to listen to it. Shu, I just want to see how powerful this Chen Jiucha is.
Later someone said: "I made a mistake. I thought that "Rouge" was all the skills of this wine and tea gentleman. I never thought that the next step would be more prosperous. This time, Shopkeeper Zhuang really didn't boast."
"It's exactly right, first "Nie Xiaoqian" and then "Ying Ning", it's really novel. In the past, when I heard "Journey to the West" talking about heavenly soldiers and generals, I thought it was grand, but it felt far away. Now I know it after listening to "Liao Zhai" The ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas are so close at hand, in my opinion, it is much better than "Journey to the West"."
"Hey, this is wrong. They should each have their own merits."
"Yes, yes."
As Chen Changsheng was on stage more often, his storytelling skills became more and more proficient, and he was able to clean up all the breaks that needed to be made.
The sentence "I want to know what happened next, but I will listen to the explanation next time" often provokes everyone to yell at me.
To put it simply, it is a bad study.
This Mr. Wine and Tea is also well-known among the people.
Even when Chen Changsheng went to get a drink, Li Laoer would ask.
"What is Mr. Chen talking about today?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and replied: "The story of "Gongsun Jiuniang" we are talking about today is about the love between humans and ghosts. Later, Brother Li can ask if he has heard of it. The story is quite acceptable."
After hearing this, Li Laoer sighed and said, "I still want to listen to it myself, but Mr. Chen never tells the same story a second time."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Maybe I will tell you a second time in the future."
"Well, you have to remind me when the time comes."
Li Laoer handed over the wine.
Chen Changsheng weighed it up and asked with a smile: "Brother Li drinks alcohol every day. Could it be that his hands are shaking?"
Li Laoer said with a smile: "If you have an extra tael, I'll give it to you sir."
Chen Changsheng said: "What is Brother Li doing? I also know that it was Brother Li who thought highly of it that he had one or two more drinks. Chen kept it in mind, but there is no reason to take advantage of Chen." .”
Then he put down two pennies.
"Hey, you..."
"I'll come to drink some wine tomorrow. Brother Li, please don't do this again."
Chen Changsheng waved and left the wine shop.
Li Laoer looked at the two cents on the table and said with a smile: "This man is really interesting."
