Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 15 Storytelling

When Zhao Han heard that Mrs. Cheng was particularly interested in gods and the like, he had a headache. What should I say?Say there are no ghosts and gods in this world?How can I explain these inventions?Now tell them it's physics and chemistry?They must not understand.

How about explaining physics and chemistry to them?I also want to offend those great Confucian scholars. After all, in ancient times, scholars had a high status, while scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen had a low status in ancient times. Now that they value craftsmen and other disciplines, those scholars do not recognize them, let alone most scholars come from aristocratic families.

We can only use ghosts and gods as an example, but this is not a long-term solution. Zhao Han also wants to change the ancient thinking and let ancient people learn science.

Forget it, let's take one step at a time, there is no other way now, but to change their thinking subtly.

"Auntie, in fact, the gods in the sky are the same as us in the mortal world, but now the gods in the heaven can't come down to the mortal world, so my master changed the supernatural powers into something that mortals can make."

Zhao Han can only fool these ancient people, and it is the easiest way.

"Oh, that's how it is. I said why I have never seen a fairy before. It turns out that the current fairy can't come down to the mortal world. Xiaohan, do you have any other stories? Tell us, we are all very curious."

"By the way, how did your master come down to the mortal world? Can you go back? You are the disciple of the gods. Let the gods in the heaven know if they will trouble you?"

When Zhao Han was asked, he had no choice but to continue to flicker: "Now there is chaos in the heavenly court. There is a monkey making trouble in the heavenly palace. My master came down secretly to find a destined person. Now he has gone back, and the heavenly court has restored order."

Then Zhao Han started talking about Journey to the West to the five members of the Cheng family. Anyway, he could memorize Journey to the West backwards. Mrs. Cheng and the three brothers of the Cheng family listened with great interest, but Cheng Chuxue was not very interested. , all about fighting and killing, and Cheng Chuxue is most interested in love at this age, and she is at the age of ignorance, so after listening to it for a while, she felt bored and went back to her boudoir.

Zhao Han said that when Sun Wukong asked for weapons from the East China Sea and returned to Huaguo Mountain, he felt parched and asked his servants to bring him a glass of water, but when he turned around, he saw that the servants of the Cheng family were standing behind him Listening to myself talking about Journey to the West, Cheng Yaojin didn't even notice it when he came back. Cheng Yaojin sat at the door and listened to Zhao Han's story with great interest.

Zhao Han thought, come on, I don’t need to do anything else today, depending on the situation, I have to talk for a day today, and I feel bitter, but before mahjong is made, I can’t run away, forget it, anyway, there is no other entertainment in ancient times Activities, and storytelling is also quite good, I didn't expect that I still have such eloquence, so let's continue.

First let the servant bring me a glass of water, and then I will continue to talk about Journey to the West, and this talk will be at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Before Zhao Han asked the craftsman's name, Cao Goudan ran over.

"Uncle, the little one has been carved out according to what you said. How do you see how it's done? If it's not good, the little one will go to rectify it."

Zhao Han was finally rescued. Telling the story was really tiring, and his legs were numb from sitting.

Fortunately, Cao Goudan gave him a hand, otherwise he might not be able to stand up, and then looked at the mahjong in Cao Goudan's hand.

He nodded and said, "That's right, that's how it is. You've done a good job. When you go to the housekeeper, whoever gets a hundred coins."

When Cao Goudan heard that there was still a reward, he burst open his mouth and laughed silly. He used to work for the mansion without rewards. It's fun, but Cheng Yaojin and his three sons quit, Ma De, I'm fascinated by listening to it, and you come to interrupt my listening to the play, I feel very upset.

Cheng Yaojin coughed and said: "Don't be silly, hurry up and get out, I still want to listen to Xiaohan's stories, you are moping, don't want your reward."

When Goudan heard this, he couldn't just lose the reward money he got so hard, so he turned around and ran out. Zhao Han said from behind: "You take all the leftover mahjong here."

Goudan didn't make a sound, fearing that the master would really withhold his reward, he nodded and ran away. Zhao Han was also tired and didn't want to continue talking, so he said: "Okay, let's leave, that's all for today Now, go do what you should do," he said, ignoring everyone's resentful eyes looking at him, and sat down on the ground to drink water.

Everyone saw that Zhao Han really stopped talking, so they left. Besides, there was still a lot of work to do, so they all left, but Cheng Yaojin and his three sons quit. Cheng Yaojin stepped forward Pulling Zhao Han, he said, "Tell me about what's going on later. If you don't finish your lecture today, you don't want to settle down today."

"Uncle Cheng is back, hey, how about I teach you something more fun? I really can't continue talking, you see, my voice is hoarse, how about I tell Uncle Cheng tomorrow? I will teach Uncle something fun today."

Cheng Yaojin was not happy at first, thinking what fun things could be as good as the story told by this kid?But seeing the eager eyes of his three sons and his wife, the old goblin's interest was also raised. Anyway, the story can be heard tomorrow, let's see what this kid made to make them all interested.

"Okay, if it's not interesting, you still have to tell me the story of the monkey grandson you mentioned."

Cheng Chubi couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Father, it's Journey to the West, not Sun Monkey."

Cheng Yaojin saw his son tearing things down for him, so he glared at his youngest son.

Cheng Chubi saw that his father was going to get angry, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "Father, brother Xiaohan told us before that he had developed something called mahjong, which was played by four people. It was interesting. Father, you are back, then Let little brother Xiaohan tell you."

Cheng Yaojin suddenly became interested, and said: "Boy, quickly bring it to me to see, what you said is so interesting, I want to try it too."

Cheng Chubi let out a breath slowly, and said in a low voice, "It's so dangerous, I'm lucky to have changed the subject, or I'll be beaten up again today," and then touched the non-existent sweat on his face!
During the conversation, Cao Goudan had already walked into the living room with the prepared mahjong, and then said hello to Cheng Yaojin and Mrs. Cheng: "I have seen the master and madam, Cheng Yaojin didn't hear what Cao Goudan said at all, his eyes were always on Look at the mahjong in Cao Goudan's hand."

Seeing that the master didn't respond, Cao Goudan didn't say much, so he handed the mahjong to Zhao Han and said, "Uncle, take a look at the sculpture according to what the uncle said, and see if you are satisfied."

Zhao Han took it over and saw that it was not bad, so he nodded and said: "It's not bad. After all, the first time I did it, it was much better than I imagined. You can rest for a while, and then make the second one. This time it's not good. You need to hurry up, just do better."

"Okay, uncle, the younger ones will leave first, and the younger ones will go down first."

Seeing Cao Goudan talking, Cheng Yaojin still ignored him, and walked out without saying anything else. After Cao Goudan walked out, Cheng Yaojin came over and picked up a mahjong to watch, and then asked: How do you play this kid?Tell me quickly.

Zhao Han had nothing to do when he came to Datang for the past few days, and he felt uncomfortable. Now that he saw mahjong, his hands were itchy, and he immediately took mahjong from Cheng Yaojin and began to explain how to play mahjong.
