"Storytelling" is a common name for Pingtan in Sioux City.

Including Sioux City Pinghua and Sioux City Tanci, most of the better developed ones are Tanci, that is, Xiaoshu.The performance usually focuses on speaking, with singing interspersed with Sanxian or pipa accompaniment, and sometimes using Xingmu as a prop to strike the rhythm and gather the spirit.It is exactly "Sioux City's flowers change every year, and the bookstore uses female teachers."Its voice is like a hundred-turning spring warbler, enchanting, and the end of the song is far away, and you can still feel the lingering sound lingering on the beams, so every time it appears on the stage, the audience must be overwhelmed!

Nowadays, there are many Pingtan teahouses in Sucheng. The most famous one is Yiyuan, which is located in the north of Leqiao.

Yiyuan does not occupy a large area, but it is unique in its own style due to its ingenious placement of mountains and rivers.The layout of the garden is separated by the complex corridor, which separates the east and west parts, the middle is separated by the complex corridor, and the east is dominated by buildings.

In the Yiyuan Tea House in the middle, there are endless silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. The teahouse and the garden complement each other, and no one is obtrusive. The boxes inside are also very distinctive. Each is named after "Moon". The structure of the house, the patio, the large and small rooms and the interior decoration are very natural, which makes the environment of Yiyuan pleasant and refreshing.

Following the Audi car with the provincial Party committee license plate, when Chen Mingyuan came to Yiyuan Tea House, there was a lot of people in the tea house. A man and a woman were sitting in front of the hall. Sanxian, a pipa is played in front of the woman's desk, Wu Nong speaks softly, playing and singing comfortably, the whole environment is antique.

"Upstairs, please!"

The man raised his hand to lead to the second floor, and at the same time glanced at Yin Qingning.

Chen Mingyuan understood, and ordered Yin Qingning to wait here, and followed him leading the stairs up to the second floor, to the private room in the northeast corner.

After the man pushed open the door, he immediately bowed his waist and said respectfully: "Secretary Yue, he is here."

Hearing that, at the seat by the window, a middle-aged man turned his head, saw Chen Mingyuan, his elegant and handsome face showed a little smile, waved his hand, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and said, "Come here Yes, sit down!"

The man bent down and made a gesture of please.

Chen Mingyuan walked in, but did not sit down in a hurry, but greeted him politely: "Hello, Secretary Yue."

Yue Zhongyuan smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "In your spare time, don't pay attention to the officialdom. Besides, you and I are not in the relationship between superiors and subordinates. You really have to pay attention to it. With the relationship between me and your father, I just Can be counted as your elder." Then he turned his head and told his assistant, "Make another pot of tea."

The tea was already brewed, and Chen Mingyuan couldn't be more polite, so he had to sit on the teacher's chair next to him. There was a square coffee table between the two of them. Apart from a small set of tea sets, there were some seasonal fruits and pastries on the fruit plate.

"You probably haven't eaten yet. Pad your stomach first, listen to this song with me, and then find a restaurant." Yue Zhongyuan's speech and demeanor were still very approachable, and he said with a smile: "When did you come?"

"It's been three days since I've been here." Chen Mingyuan didn't know what Yue Zhongyuan meant by inviting him, but what he was sure of was that he had already understood what he had done for the past three days, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone there, so he changed his ways to find out. : "I didn't expect you to come to Sioux City to listen to Kunqu Opera. If I knew it earlier, I should have come to see you."

"Hey, I've said it all. Let's not talk about those red tapes. I just happened to know that you are in Sioux City and I want to talk to you." As he spoke, Yue Zhongyuan turned his head to the other side and nodded towards an old man. He signaled: "Actually, I came to Sioux City this time, and I also came to accompany people to watch the theater. I don't understand these Kunqu opera lyrics."

Chen Mingyuan focused his eyes on the old man, and saw that the man was wearing a double-breasted white jacket, a pair of baggy black kung fu pants, a pair of handmade mille-soled cloth shoes, and a pair of black sunglasses. With thin cheeks and white beard and hair, she is holding a paper fan and shaking it gently, enjoying the opera leisurely.

In fact, when he just entered the door, he found the old man, but from the beginning to the end, the old man was focused on listening to the play, even if he came, he didn't attract his attention, as if he didn't notice it, so it was not easy to say hello .

For some reason, Chen Mingyuan vaguely felt that the old man had some impressions, as if he had seen it somewhere, but because the man was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't tell the real face for a while, but seeing two strong men standing beside him, To be able to sit on an equal footing with Yue Zhongyuan, his status must not be ordinary!

It wasn't until Yue Zhongyuan mentioned himself that the old man turned half of his face to the side, showing a bit of a smile, and said: "I've said it all, I just came here to escape the summer heat and have a few days of entertainment, so I don't need to ask you, a provincial party secretary, to put down a I came here to accompany you on official business." Then he cast a sidelong glance at Chen Mingyuan, and said casually, "This junior looks a little unfamiliar."

"It's the child of an old friend of mine." Yue Zhongyuan's voice was a little reserved and reverent, and he said truthfully: "It's also the grandson of the old mayor of Zhonghai Chen."

The old man squeezed the wrinkles on his forehead, looked at Chen Mingyuan again for a while, let out a long groan, and said in a low voice: "It's Lao Chen's grandson, not to mention, his eyebrows, eyes and nose are somewhat similar, but he is taller and more handsome than when he was young. too much."

Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan knew that the two must be old, and seeing the old man teasing his grandfather casually, it was not difficult to guess that the other party's background was quite complicated, maybe he was a veteran behind the scenes like Qu Lao.

However, the old man didn't seem to intend to reveal more information, nor was he interested in recalling the past with Chen Mingyuan, so he shook his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have something to talk about first, don't worry about me, I'll listen to the show." , he continued to enjoy the show on stage, humming a few words from time to time, looking like he was enjoying it.

Since the other party has no intention of talking to him more, Chen Mingyuan will not be boring himself. After the tea is served, he sips the Biluochun, a specialty of Sucheng, and then listens to the melodious silk and bamboo. When "Three Smiles" came out, although Chen Mingyuan couldn't understand Sucheng dialect, the euphemism, gentleness, softness, and low-pitched singing were extremely pleasant to the ear, and it almost felt like being in a noisy place and having a leisurely heart. Feel.

However, the current him has no time to watch.

"It's hot and irritable outside, and it's hard for this person to calm down." Yue Zhongyuan suddenly sighed inexplicably, staring at him and said, "Especially if you are still young and energetic, you should think more about it before doing things. "

Chen Mingyuan knew that Yue Zhongyuan was talking about the fact that he stood at the gate of Mujiayuan for three days, and he also heard his persuasion. Although he knew that Yue Zhongyuan had good intentions for him, he still shook his head and said: "I don't care about these things." I understand, but in this matter, I have no other choice."

Yue Zhongyuan frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't go any further. He changed the subject and said, "I have heard about your local affairs occasionally, especially recently, you have done a good job. In such a short period of time, it has managed to acquire a multi-billion-dollar film and television city, which has become famous in East China recently, and there are not a few places that are greedy."

Chen Mingyuan smiled humbly: "It's mainly the efforts of the group. I really dare not take this achievement alone."

"Achievement is not something you don't want if you say no. Since you have done it, you should enjoy this honor as a matter of course, and you don't have to worry about it." Yue Zhongyuan smiled and said: "A few days ago I met you The third uncle met, and when he mentioned you, his face was almost full of laughter. This time, you can really win your family a sigh of relief. Work hard, I believe that sooner or later you will become famous. "

After a pause, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the opera on the stage, and said earnestly: "As an old friend of your parents, the only thing I can tell you is to cherish what you have now. Life is like a play, and victory or defeat is instant." Kong, when you get old, you will realize that your whole life is just a game, and there is no need to take too rigid a view of many things."

After going around in a circle, Yue Zhongyuan's ultimate goal was to persuade Chen Mingyuan to stop.

At present, the affairs of the Mu family have been widely circulated in the whole circle. Many people are very curious about the reason why Mu Jiayin resisted the marriage. This is why he rejected Kou Beiyan's marriage proposal!

Now, all the major families in Sijiu City are staring at the Mu family, and inquiring about the reality of the 'third party'. Now, Chen Mingyuan stops at the gate of the Mu family garden, isn't he taking the initiative to make himself a target of public criticism? Well!

The consequence of this is not just as simple as being gossip, once one's reputation is ruined, the future career will also be cast a shadow.

You know, in this huge and strict circle of powerful and powerful people, there is no room for heretics!

Chen Mingyuan understood what he meant, and was somewhat grateful for his kindness. In this intriguing, selfish Vanity Fair, it was not easy for Yue Zhongyuan to remember the old friendship with his father and take good care of him all the time. In this matter, he really had no choice!

Mu Jiayin sacrificed so much for herself, if she could sacrifice her honor and disgrace in exchange for her safety, it would be worth it.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyuan smiled softly: "Uncle Yue is free and easy, but even if life is like a play, we must try our best to play our roles well so that there will be no regrets when the curtain ends, right?"

Yue Zhongyuan was startled, aware of the resoluteness in his words, and also understood that he had made up his mind, so he sighed secretly, patted his shoulder lightly, and didn't say anything more.

At that moment, the figure of Chen Mingyuan's father inexplicably appeared in his mind. They were both stubborn and stubborn. In order to achieve their goals, they would rather oppose all secular ethics than give in at all!
