God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 113 Cuiwei Building

The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

In front of Cuiwei Building.

Du He came here admiringly.

Du He stood in front of the building, looked up at the large characters of Cuiwei Building, and the small building in front of him.

Looking in from the gate, I saw that the courtyard was full of people, very lively.

Can vaguely hear the sound of applause coming from inside.

This is his first time in this place.

I saw Du He standing where he was, holding a folding fan in his right hand and shaking it gently. It was indeed a bit attractive, and even the women passing by on the street couldn't help casting their eyes at him.

The old man stood aside, like a standard dog leg, pointing to the big characters of Cuiwei Building, and introduced: "Master, this Cuiwei Building is said to be the residence of a prince in the Sui Dynasty, and it was abandoned later. I bought it, built a tea house, added a lot of houses, renovated it several times, and now it has become the largest tea house in Chang'an City... In fact, this Cuiwei Building is also the most famous Bojun in Chang'an City. , there is Wang Zhengsheng, a member of Bojun, whose speech is the most famous in Chang'an City."

Du He came to this Cuiwei Tower today because he came for Bojun people.

Bojun people, also known as speakers, are actually storytellers of later generations.To speak means to tell a story.

Storytelling didn't become popular until after the Song Dynasty, and the four great classics were originally storytelling books.

But in this era, there is already a rudimentary form of storytelling, but it has just developed and has not yet taken shape.

The title of Bojun people comes from Bojun's smile, which means that the profession of these people is to tell you some ghost legends and bizarre stories after dinner to entertain everyone.

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City can be said to be very prosperous, and entertainment activities are naturally indispensable, so the form of listening and speaking is the most popular in Chang'an.

Du He put away his fan: "Go, go in and have a look!"

Walking to the door, two guards came up to greet them with smiles on their faces: "My lord, according to the rules of Cuiwei Building, you have to pay the money before entering the door."

Du He asked, "How much?"

The boy said: "One penny, my lord, you can stay for half a day with only one penny. Of course, if you want to drink tea or have snacks, you need to go inside and order something else."

Du He nodded.

A penny is not expensive, but it can make many people reluctant to enter.

If you don't charge a penny, many people probably go in just to listen to the conversation, and they won't order anything at all.

Du He, Old Fu, Lu Bu, the three paid three Wen and walked into the gate.

When I walked in, I saw that the yard was already full of people.

In front of the crowd, there was a stage taller than one person, and a middle-aged man in a long robe was standing on the stage, talking hard.

Directly below the table, there were several tables, and several people in silk satin sat and listened leisurely.

To Du He's surprise, these people were sitting on the rotating wooden chairs produced by the furniture factory.

Looking at the surrounding upstairs, there are all rotating wooden chairs, at least twenty of them.

Du He asked curiously: "Who is the shopkeeper of this Cuiwei building? How can he buy so many rotating wooden chairs from a furniture factory?"

The old man smiled and said, "Young Master, let me tell you that the shopkeeper of Cuiwei Building is just a small businessman, and he is not qualified to order furniture from furniture factories. However, recently we found that many people bought revolving wooden chairs at high prices. If you sell a revolving wooden chair for [-] Wen, you can sell it for [-], or even [-] Wen, if you think about it, the revolving wooden chairs in Cuiwei Building must be bought at a high price."

This was something Du He had never thought of before.

Rotating wooden chairs are so popular?

It seems that production needs to be accelerated!

While speaking, the old Fu had already ordered some snacks and tea. Under the guidance of a servant, Du He and the three went to the second floor and sat down.

After sitting down, Du He had no interest in tea.

On the contrary, it was Old Fu who looked satisfied after drinking the dark dishes.

At this time, the middle-aged man who was speaking on the stage had already left and was replaced by a young man in a gray robe.

This young man was skinny, in his twenties, with unusually high cheekbones, and looked somewhat heroic.

As soon as the youth came to the stage, the atmosphere in the audience became lively.

Du He took a closer look, and saw that the older girl and younger daughter-in-law who were dozing off just now sat up straight and looked at the young man with a pink complexion.

"Ah, Wang Zhengsheng, Wang Zhengsheng finally came out!"

"I haven't seen him for several days, I didn't expect him to come to talk to us today!"

"I feel that Wang Zhengsheng seems to have lost some weight!"

"Wang Zhengsheng is so handsome!"

Du He stopped the bursts of discussions coming from around him, feeling speechless in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Datang also has groupies.

And the same insanity is beyond redemption.

Pointing at the young man, the old Fu introduced, "Young Master, he is Wang Zhengsheng, a famous speaker in Chang'an City. It is said that Biyuelou paid a lot of money to invite him to speak, but he refused. After the news spread, everyone thought Wang Zhengsheng had something to say. Sincerely, many women who are waiting to marry will quietly come to listen to his stories."

Hearing this, Du He thought to himself, I never thought that Wang Zhengsheng would have such abilities at such a young age, he should listen carefully today.

I saw Wang Zhengsheng walking on the stage, and without any unnecessary greetings, he said directly: "Dao Han Gaozu Liu Bang was panting all his life, today let's talk about the story of Gaozu's uprising against the White Snake."

Good guy, as soon as he spoke, everyone in the audience started screaming.

The applause suddenly continued.

Proof of how popular this guy is!

In Du He's view, Wang Zhengsheng is so popular, he must have some skills.

First of all, the handsomeness of life, especially the thin figure, standing on the stage, seemed to fall down at any time, many cardamom girls saw it, I am afraid that they would die of distress.

Secondly, when this guy opened his mouth, his words were correct and his voice was magnetic, which was naturally attractive.

It's just that the story of Gao Zu beheading the White Snake uprising is quite ordinary.

It is popular in this era, but for Du He, who started reading fairy tales at the age of five, the stories Wang Zhengsheng told were too plain, like flowing water, without any suspense or many ups and downs. Compared with the previous story of Gao Zu's uprising against the White Snake, people don't have much expectation.

"It seems that Datang's level of storytelling is no more than this!"

"Just let the young master test the water..."

Du He said with a smile.

Old Fu took out a copy of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" printed in the printing room of the furniture factory, suddenly widened his eyes, and said, "Master, you don't mean to tell Wang Zhengsheng about this book?"

Yesterday evening, Du He handed the book to Old Fu, and asked Old Fu to bring the book to accompany him to Cuiwei Tower early this morning.

Unexpectedly, the old Fu accidentally flipped through a few pages, and then got out of control, lit the oil lamp and watched in the middle of the night. It was Du He who asked Lu Bu to pick him up this morning, otherwise the old boy would probably sleep until noon.
