Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 228 Nie Xiaoqian

Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang had never heard of plucking cotton.

Qin Tian couldn't describe it to them either.

"You just have to wait, you'll know when the time comes."

The two women groaned and waited.

Here, Qin Tian ordered the people in the house to remove the seeds of the cotton. Removing the seeds of cotton is a very troublesome thing. Qin Tian could have made a seed removal machine, but that thing is troublesome to make, and the efficiency is actually not good. Very high, mainly because many things are not satisfied under such conditions.

In addition, there is not much cotton, and the people in the house can remove the seeds, so Qin Tian didn't do it.

While the servants were removing the seeds from the cotton, he himself started to make something to pluck the cotton.

This thing is indispensable, otherwise the coat would be hard and not comfortable at all.

While Qin Tian was doing these things, the storyteller that Lu Huaniang found had already thoroughly understood several stories from Liaozhai, and began to tell them in Sihaiju.

And the story he told first is called "Nie Xiaoqian"

Telling a story must be very colloquial. Qin Tian's writing is already very simple, so the storyteller only needs to edit it a little bit.

Of course, this story is not completely written according to "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", and some plots adapted from later film and television dramas are also added to make the story more full.

Mr. Storyteller told "Nie Xiaoqian" in Sihaiju. Although it is a love between man and ghost, it doesn't make people feel scared, because everyone has never heard of it. Instead, they think this story is novel, pleasant and interesting.

As a result, after Sihaiju started telling stories at noon every day, the number of guests who came to Sihaiju was almost endless, which doubled compared to before.

The scale of Sihaiju was originally not small, but now it is a bit crowded.

Looking at these situations, Lu Feng felt that after the beginning of spring, expansion is necessary. For example, the stir-fried dishes invented by his uncle have not yet come out.

After the story of "Nie Xiaoqian" was narrated in Sihaiju, it slowly spread throughout Chang'an City. Although it was severe cold weather, in some teahouses and restaurants, a group of people could often be seen gathering together, asking for a pot of tea, and then Learn to tell the story to other people there.

They don’t ask for money to tell stories, they just want to share what they know, otherwise they will know the story by themselves, it’s too boring, those who listen, just raise money to buy him a pot of tea to moisten his throat.

"By the way, Nie Xiaoqian, after letting Ning Caichen go, although she was happy in her heart, she was also worried that grandma would find out about the matter, so she looked flustered and hid in the house and dared not come out. It was a cool night and suddenly she heard a loud noise. Male or female voices..."

Everyone talked like this, and those who listened were fascinated by their chins, and occasionally they would interject when they didn't understand.

"You said that Nie Xiaoqian has become a ghost. Why do you still like Ning Caichen? Could it be that this person and a ghost can really have sex? How did he do it?"

"As long as you talk a lot, how do I know how to do it..."

"Hahaha, why don't you try it..."

Everyone roared with laughter, and the storyteller was in a hurry: "Are you still listening?"

"Listen, drink some tea to moisten your throat first..."

Listen to stories for free, and those who don't listen are fools.
-
The palace, the imperial study.

The weather was getting colder every day, and Li Yuan became more and more lazy.

Sometimes lying in bed, I don't really want to move.

Just lying in bed all the time, very boring.

"Xiao Dezi, is there anything interesting in Chang'an City recently?"

Xiao Dezi was a young eunuch with pretty features and eloquent teeth. When he saw Li Yuan asking, he said, "My lord, recently someone in Chang'an city is telling stories and storytelling, which is very interesting."

"Oh, story, what story?"

"A story about the love between humans and ghosts?"

Li Yuan was surprised and said, "Tell me about it."

Xiao Dezi would flatter Li Yuan the most. He had memorized the story of "Nie Xiaoqian" by heart, so after Li Yuan asked him to tell it, he began to tell it vividly.

This story is interesting, and there are some descriptions of fighting, and it has a bit of mythology, which makes it very exciting.

After hearing this, Li Yuan became addicted.

"Grandma wanted to kill Ning Caichen, but Nie Xiaoqian went back after desperately saving Ning Caichen."

When Xiao Dezi said this, his mouth was dry, but when he said this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't continue talking.

Li Yuan was listening with his eyes closed, when he suddenly saw that Xiao Dezi stopped talking, he hummed: "Why don't you talk, this Nie Xiaoqian has escaped, why did you go back?"

Xiao Dezi said: "Your Majesty, this servant only heard this, and the following story has not been told yet, so this servant does not know what the following story is."

"You don't know either?" Li Yuan suddenly felt an itch in his heart like an ant scratching. Hearing half of this story made people feel uncomfortable.

"Whoever wrote this story, call me into the palace and let him finish telling me this story."

Other people who listened to the story did not dare to make this request, but Li Yuan is the Son of Heaven, he can do whatever he wants. After listening to the story, Xiao Dezi said: "My lord, this story was written by Lord Qin Tian, ​​and then let The storyteller is speaking in Sihaiju, do you think the storyteller should be called here, or Lord Qin?"

"Written by Qin Tian?" Li Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Qin Tian to write stories, but after thinking about it, he said, "Just call Qin Tian here."

When Qin Tian entered the palace, no one would gossip, but if a storyteller entered the palace, rumors would spread.

First of all, the identity of a storyteller is not enough to enter the palace, and moreover, the storytellers will enter the palace, the officials probably won't let it go, right?
Qin Tian is different. It is said that Qin Tian entered the palace to talk about some important affairs of the court. Who can do anything to them?
After Xiao Dezi took the order, he hurried out of the palace to the Qin residence without any hesitation.

But when Xiao Dezi was telling Li Yuan a story in the palace, Qin Tian had already played the cotton and had someone make a coat for the Qin mansion.

The overcoat was very big. After Qin Tian put it on, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in it, but after putting it on, it was indeed comfortable, much more comfortable than other times, and the key point was that it was still warm.

Tang Rong looked at Qin Tian who was wearing a coat, and couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you look so funny."

Seeing that Tang Rong dared to make fun of himself, Qin Tian stretched out his hand and slapped her on the buttocks: "Dare to make fun of your husband-in-law, tomorrow I will ask someone to make one for you and Lu Huaniang, so that you can make fun of..."

Lu Huaniang was beside her, and said: "We can't wait for it, this thing is soft and warm, much better than the sable fur, the sable fur is too short, and the fur makes people feel uncomfortable..."

The three of them were joking in the house, and Xiao Dezi hurried over: "The Holy Majesty announces that Qin Tian and Master Qin will enter the palace..."
