There is a saying that "the sleeves of Yueluo shirt welcome the spring breeze, and the jade-carved Qilin belt is red."
At a young age, Wang Xiaohua was dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, embellished with women's clothes. From a distance, she looked just like her name, a person like a flower and life like a flower.
Her young face was clean and cute, and all the girls on the street looked at her with spring-warmed faces. They did not cover up and waved and joked one after another.
After all, this boy is a bit young and has never been greeted by others, so he seems quite reserved.
If Bai Song hadn't been with him, he would have been frightened by the battles along the road and ran away.
The girls around her lined the streets to welcome her, and the men pointed at her at night.
It's really a bit strange for a man to dress up as a woman.
Wang Xiaohua doesn't like this outfit either. Why should a good outfit be decorated with colorful things? If I hadn't known that Brother Bai had spent a gold leaf on this outfit, how could I have worn this?
Bai Song was very satisfied. This Wang Xiaohua had a good foundation, good looks, and an unforgettable ability. With a little praise, he would definitely become a famous actor in Youzhou in the future.
There were many oirans in ancient flower houses, but a handsome young star would be the favorite of ladies from every family.
If you want to make quick money, you have to put money into the pockets of wealthy people.
The King of Shu's meeting tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a name for himself.
Bai Song just wanted to create momentum for Wang Xiaohua.
But Wang Xiaohua was completely puzzled and felt coy and uncomfortable all the way.
Until the two of them arrived at the door of the prefect's mansion, Wang Xiaohua couldn't bear to ask: "Brother Bai, why are you wearing this? It cost you a gold leaf, but this...this clothes makes me burn when I wear it."
When Bai Song saw someone from the Prefect's Mansion going inside to report, the two of them were standing in front of the door and no one was paying attention, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Then let me ask you, do you want to make a lot of money? Do you want everyone in the world to look up to you? ?”
"Of course I do."
"In that case, then follow my arrangements in everything."
"But these clothes are a bit...somewhat like a girl..."
"Oh, you don't understand. This is called fashion. Didn't you hear that many guests outside call you 'Mr. Little Flower'? You are considered a prominent figure in the city, so you can no longer dress casually."
"Is this going to be the case from now on?"
"As expected."
Wang Xiaohua frowned after hearing this. When she said it again, the door of the prefect's mansion was opened, and the young man who beat up Boss Zhang in the restaurant at noon came.
"Mr. Xiaohua, the prince invites you."
Wang Xiaohua glanced at Bai Song and entered the prefect's mansion.
Bai Song followed closely, but was stopped by a young guard: "Your Majesty only invites Mr. Xiaohua, no other people are allowed in."
"I am Mr. Xiaohua's agent."
"Agent?" The young guard frowned.
"I am responsible for Mr. Xiaohua's business activities and all other matters..."
"I don't understand, I can't go in anyway."
"No! Brother Bai must come with me." Wang Xiaohua became a little anxious, "If Brother Bai doesn't go, I won't go either."
The young guard frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly: "Go in."
The prefect's mansion is so big that you can only see the tip of the iceberg at night.
The young guard took Bai and Song to the guest room in the backyard. Two lanterns were hung outside the house, and there were a desk and several stools inside. There were bright lights everywhere, illuminating the room.
"Mr. Xiaohua, I'm busy telling this old man a story about the Three Kingdoms."
A joyful voice suddenly came from outside the house. The old prince was holding a string of Buddhist beads and fiddled with them.
No matter when and where, this prince always looks like a smiling Arhat, without any sense of pressure. He is just a little thinner and looks a little weird.
If they hadn't seen the scene during the day, no one would have thought that such an old man could be a dignified prince.
Because of this, Wang Xiaohua was not so nervous when she saw the other party. She exchanged glances with Bai Song, then walked to the desk. Without waiting for the prince to sit down, she opened her mouth and said the sentence: It is said that the world's major events must be reunited after a long time. point.
Bai Song stood in the corner of the room, silent as an invisible person.
When the King of Shu arrived in the hall, he didn't even look at Bai Song. He just sat down, put down the Buddha beads, and listened carefully with a cup of tea.
The other party listened very attentively, and behind him was holding the purchased manuscript and a pen, squinting his eyes and sketching on it, not knowing what to do.
Time passed little by little, and Wang Xiaohua told the King of Shu four times in one breath.
Wang Xiaohua didn't stop until the third watch passed and King Shu interrupted her.
Wang Xiaohua was completely silent in the book. Although she was tired from teaching, she was not nervous. After she stopped, she felt her mouth became dry.
He took a sip of the cool tea that was placed on the table.
"I have studied the Three Kingdoms a lot, but I didn't expect to get such a detailed description from the storyteller on the roadside. Although there is only a beginning, the details in it not only verified some of the clues I was looking for, but even answered the questions. Some old and unknown puzzles. Mr. Xiaohua, is it possible that you survived the Three Kingdoms?"
"Wang... Your Majesty is joking, little man..."
"Then why do you know so much?"
Wang Xiaohua frowned and looked at Bai Song: "The villain is just reading from the book. All the stories in the book are from Brother Bai."
After hearing this, the King of Shu turned his attention to Bai Song who was standing on the side, and his squinted eyes widened in surprise: "It's you, the store owner? Is this book written by you?"
"No, this book was given to the public by a wise man on his deathbed. The common people were just grateful for the excellence of this book and did not want to bury it, so they made it public through the storyteller's mouth."
"Is it a gift from an expert from another generation?" King Shu thought about it, his eyes narrowed again, and he didn't know whether to believe Bai Song's words.
Thinking about this, King Shu motioned to Bai Song to come and take a seat.
Bai Song was not restrained and actually sat opposite the King of Shu.
The King of Shu said: "Since it was a gift from others, the store must have a complete copy of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right? In this case, how about you set a price and sell a set to me?"
Bai Song frowned and did not answer.
This troubled expression stunned several people in the hall.
King Shu also frowned: "What? What other concerns does the store have?"
"I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to follow." Bai Song said in a low voice.
The King of Shu never revealed it, but the guard behind the King of Shu angrily yelled: "You are so brave. The prince ordered you to take it directly, so what? I want you to offer a price now because I think highly of you. Don't be ignorant of the compliment." .”
The King of Shu raised his hand to stop the guard from speaking, and looked at Bai Song with a smile: "I wonder what the store owner has to worry about."
"Earlier, the common people have set a rule that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be taught twice a day and never repeat what has been said. Today, speaking alone for the prince has broken the rules. If the prince likes the romance of the Three Kingdoms, it will be updated daily in the future. The shop is willing to give away all the chapter and reply texts. However, if you want to get the full copy in advance, this method seems unfair to outside book readers. Of course, if the prince insists on ordering the common people as the prince, the common people will not dare to refuse. "
"Hahaha..." King Shu smiled after hearing this and stared at Bai Song with interest, "The shop owner is young, but he is so interesting. Fortunately, he met an old man today. If it were another rich person, tonight It’s hard to absolve ourselves of the blame.”
Bai Song smiled: "The common people also see that the prince is kind-hearted and easy to talk to, otherwise they would not dare to be so bold."
"Haha, okay. I see that you are a good businessman and a principled person, so I won't argue with you today. It happens that I have to stay in Jixian for a while, so I can afford to wait."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
"You guys can go back and continue to make up for the previous content here tomorrow night."
When Bai Song heard this, he quickly called Wang Xiaohua to leave.
But before he could go out, the King of Shu shouted again: "The store will wait a moment."
"Any other instructions, Your Majesty?"
"What exactly is an agent?"
"Uh..." Bai Song was stunned, "I take care of my husband's daily life, daily schedule, discuss performances, etc. In short, I am someone who seeks more benefits for this gentleman."
The guard at the back added: "Isn't that the Madam from the Flower House?"
The King of Shu glared back, Bai Song smiled awkwardly, and Wang Xiaohua blushed, wondering why she had become the girl in the flower house?
However, after Bai Song explained this, the King of Shu also understood a little, and took out another gold leaf from his pocket: "From now on, every day you come to the prefect's mansion, you will have a gold leaf."
Hey!
I don’t want to still make money.
Bai Song quickly accepted it, thanked him again, and left with Wang Xiaohua.
After leaving the prefect's mansion, Wang Xiaohua sat down on the ground.
Bai Song went up to take a look and saw that the boy's face was pale, and he was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Bai, you, you, you... you really scared me to death just now."
"What's wrong?"
"That's the prince. Do you dare to refute what the prince says? This is too bold. Fortunately, the prince has a good temper, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out. Can we also accept the prince's money at will?"
Wang Xiaohua was holding back her words and dared not say anything, and now she kept talking like a chatterbox.
I won’t go into details about the little things here.
After tonight, Donglai Restaurant becomes more and more lively.
The fact that the prince summoned Mr. Xiaohua last night has spread, not only to the whole city, but at least to everyone on Xiangyang Street and the nearby Hua Street.
What an honor it is for a storyteller to be summoned by the prince late at night to give a lecture?
The key point is that the storyteller is young, beautiful, and dressed in novel clothes, which makes the girl feel envious.
No one would have thought that in this restaurant where men gathered, there would soon be more girls disguised as men.
And Mr. Xiaohua also became a popular figure in Jixian County in an instant, and became a major topic of conversation among people in the streets and alleys.
As for the Qingmen's first talker, he had long been forgotten.
No one noticed that an old man among the guests in the restaurant was muttering quietly while listening to the boy on the stage. He didn't know what he was talking about at the moment.
Others didn't know this person, but Bai Song, who was upstairs looking at the overall situation, recognized this guy.
With a bit of a smile, he quietly came to the old man's side.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Who would have thought? With just a few pieces of paper, how could an unknown boy become so popular? If I left it to you to talk about the Three Kingdoms, I would be the one being sought after by so many people right now. ”
