Behind the table, Qi Yuncheng sat and asked himself, "The three-year scientific examination was coming soon, so Huang said: pack your things.
Shen Can said that I don't trust you in my heart. If I leave, I have to walk for a long time. Besides, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and no one cares about you. You are usually weak and often sick, so I won't go.
The madam said, what kind of job is that? You can learn arts and martial arts and sell your goods to the emperor's family. You, a scholar, have no other way out. The only way out is to take the exam.
No, I can’t let you go, I have to take care of you.”
"Okay!!" Qi Yuncheng suddenly turned back to himself and began to narrate, "He didn't go now, but all the classmates who were with him went, more than a dozen of them went, and six or seven came back in one trip. They have all become officials."
"Everyone is pretty good, but I kept telling them: Go ahead, how can you do anything if you don't take the exam? Let's do academic studies together. You are better than us. How many of us are there? We are all not as good as you, especially him! He is better than you. We are still playful, and now we are pretty good."
"Everyone is trying to persuade me. Three years have passed, and everyone who is going to take the exam this time has gathered together to come up with ideas."
Qi Yuncheng on the stage turned to the characters and discussed the general tone.
"We must go to rush for the exam, but I have a suggestion. We must bring Shen Can with us no matter what. He is too emotional, and it won't be a big deal if he keeps doing this.
People traveling with her said, "Don't blame him. Mrs. Huang's body and bones are indeed weak and she keeps getting sick. He is worried."
The one who said, "No, it's not possible. A man's ambitions are all over the world. How can he stay at home and take care of the sick? Let's try to persuade him."
Okay, let’s get together!”
Over and over again, the audience felt immersed in the characters Qi Yuncheng performed on the stage, because the performance of storyteller characters is so important.
Whether you can let the audience in depends on this.
The reason why stories can happen is ultimately because of people. If people don’t live, the stories won’t live either.
So he continued to speak.
"After the group of them arrived at the place, they chatted with Mrs. Sister-in-law for a while.
Mrs. Huang nodded: I know what you are trying to persuade him to do, but he is a troubled person, so I will talk about him again.
There was no one around at night, so the couple sat here, and the wife persuaded him."
Qi Yuncheng put his hands lightly on the table and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about something. It's the year of the competition again. Neighbors and friends like you have said that they didn't pass the exam last time. You must go this time. .
Although I say that I am a womanizer and do not know how to write, I know that you have worked very hard. After reading the books and articles you have written over the years, people say that you must be fine.
Don't worry, my health doesn't matter, not to mention we are still young, so go ahead.
Shen Can said: Wife, I don't trust you.
I know, I'm fine.
But I always think that if I rush to take the exam and leave, no one will care about you, what will happen to me?
Wife is happy"
Qi Yuncheng laughed while talking, and at the same time, his eyes and brows seemed to be a different person.
"Look, are you saying what a man says? I don't have a daughter-in-law at home? I don't have a wife? You are the only one who has one? Go ahead. I also tell you, An Xin Ke Kao. One day, if I want to be my wife, If you die, remember that you will have to renew your relationship soon. If you live alone for the rest of your life, I won’t be able to feel at ease even if you die."
The voice fell.
Shen Can, played by Qi Yuncheng, was anxious and hurriedly said: "Don't say this! Look at what you said, how unlucky it is! I won't go! I won't go!"
Oops, go ahead!!”
At this moment, the audience saw Qi Yuncheng's performance character and had already entered the character he was performing. They immediately felt that this wife could do it.
A completely good wife.
Otherwise, I would not persuade my husband to go to this extent.
For a moment, I quite hoped to see Shen Can win an official position and then take her with him to have a good time.
After Qi Yuncheng paused for half a minute, he said: "Tiantian tried to persuade me, but it didn't work anymore, so Huang asked his uncle to go.
For Shen Can, uncle is the same as father, and his words are a bit more serious, so after much deliberation, he reluctantly agreed."
"Hey, okay. Everyone said so. I will go to the science test this year, and I will go with you. Wife, you have to take good care of your body at home. You have thousands, thousands, and thousands of things. Take care, otherwise, I won't feel at ease.
My wife said it’s okay, it doesn’t matter to me.”
"This was enough to convince him, and then a date was set for each family to send their husbands, and some also send their children.
Before leaving, Shen Can was really reluctant to leave, and after repeatedly asking for his wife's health, she left Jiaxing and rushed to the capital."
"When we arrived in the capital, everything was arranged and ready for the scientific examination."
Qi Yuncheng muttered, "Three hard work has turned me into a ghost, and two words of fame can mistakenly kill people. This describes how difficult it was to pass the scientific examination in the past.
Because the scientific examination is not the current college entrance examination, you can go back to sleep after the exam, and there are all kinds of delicious food.
That didn't happen.
Once you come, you can't go out.
As soon as you enter the examination room, you will first search it and read it from top to bottom to prevent cheating. You will only be allowed in after you have done this. When you come out again, the exam is over."
"There are a lot of rules. You are not allowed to go out to relieve yourself during the exam. If I go to the toilet in the middle of writing, then you go, the invigilator will put a black stamp on your paper.
Now that you have this, I won't admit you again no matter what.
So basically everything is solved in the room, so just think about it.
Eat, sleep, relieve yourself, and write all together.
This situation is very uncomfortable, so we can only persevere.”
"But the first day..." Qi Yuncheng's voice became louder and he could not sit still in his seat.
"Shen Can feels restless and always feels like there is something on his mind. Maybe people really have a sixth sense, but it may also be due to his personal mental disorder.
I lay there at night, turning over and over, unable to sleep, always afraid that something would happen to my wife.
And with such a reversal of day and night, what I wrote was also perfunctory.
In the end, I had nightmares every day and was in a trance.
After finally finishing the exam and handing in the papers, I was still thinking about it while living in the shop."
"I thought that after the results are released, no matter whether they are there or not, I have to go home quickly, and I feel uneasy."
"After waiting for a few days, the results were released early that morning. All the students came out very early. They stood in front of the results and looked at them from beginning to end. Shen Can failed the exam."
"It's normal. Why? His mind has not been on the test papers these days. Others have good grades and are celebrating happily. He went back to where he lives to think about things alone with a frown on his face."
Qi Yuncheng, a performer, nodded and thought, "That's fine. If I didn't pass the exam, I won't delay. I'll just go home."
"I was thinking very well. Not long after, these people came back and told everyone that I would like to congratulate you. But I couldn't stay and had to go home. I always had nightmares during the exam and thought about my wife. Nothing happened."
"Everyone is happy: Okay, if you don't do this, we won't be able to pass the exam, and you will just be thinking wildly these days. Did you see it? We all have good grades and can be officials.
Don't leave either. In the end, we will see who has the highest official position among us. Then you can take up the post with whomever you want, or you can become a master."
"Shen Can can't say it. I have to go home. I accept your kindness. I'll talk about it later when I have time."
"Everyone said nothing, so they quickly put their things away and headed home. There were no books all the way. When they got home that day, Mrs. Huang fell seriously ill and passed away!!!
Shen Can’s blood ran cold!!!”
The storytelling ends here.
The audience, who had listened attentively, felt that their blood was almost running cold, not to mention Shen Can's blood was cold.
When I heard that Madam was so kind, I began to look forward to it. Who would have thought that Qi Yun would be so generous?
Everyone immediately stared at Qi Yuncheng with wide eyes.
But even so, the audience upstairs and downstairs were still very quiet.
No one wants to disturb the rhythm of the actors, but of course there are still some tables, chairs, benches or other sounds.
It's impossible to have really no sound
Master Guo Degang was also sitting in the side curtain listening to the children's storytelling. He chose a short story and said it was much better than before.
I don't know why, but he didn't say it a few times. It seems that after meeting his daughter, he didn't delay not only dating, but also other aspects.
After a while, Qi Yuncheng's voice came again.
"Shen Can rolled his eyes and threw it away."
"Everyone, please save me. I pinched him, rubbed my chest and beat my back. It took me a long time to wake up."
"call!!!"
Qi Yuncheng leaned back and slowly exhaled a breath, but the breath he exhaled was life-threatening, and the sound was as uncomfortable as a pharynx.
"Hey...wife, I said I was restless, but as expected you left me. You and I were married, and now I'm not alive anymore!!!"
"He stood up and banged his head against the wall. There were many relatives at home, so how could he not stop him? In the end, it took several people to stop him.
While looking at it, he said: You see, the day you come is the last day. I can’t wait any longer. I have already been buried.
Shen Can cried: I have to go to the grave. I had nightmares about going to the grave during the scientific examination. I have to go, I have to burn paper for him."
"Everyone, let's follow him. We will take the paper money and offerings and help him to the cemetery."
Qi Yuncheng leaned forward and continued wiping his tears, "Shen Can is lying on the grave crying like this. Oh, I knew it was bad when I left. If you insist on convincing me to go, I can stay at home to see you one last time." .
Who would have thought that I would end up like this, my wife~my wife~"
One second the actor was crying, but the next the actor's expression changed and he said, "Relatives and friends just gave me advice when they saw it, and sent it back after persuasion."
As soon as he got home, he fell seriously ill.
To put it briefly, it took more than three months to recover.
A few days later, these people who were rushing to take the exam came back and went back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors. What happened? From the first to the second time, all those who were good friends with Shen Can became officials.
I also came here after worshiping my ancestors. I found out that my sister-in-law was gone, and I couldn't help but cry.
The more I cry, the more helpless I become.
He even looked like he was going crazy.
In the end, several good friends who were kind-hearted were so distressed that they took him to eat, drink and do errands all day long, and the uncle also said a few words to him."
"As I said this slowly, and as time passed quickly, I finally regained my composure and resumed my normal life.
But as long as someone wants to renew the relationship and refuses on the spot, we have a very good relationship and cannot marry again.
But some people know that your sister-in-law is in trouble, and you have to renew your relationship, otherwise she will not feel at ease even if she dies!
Hey! Don't try to persuade me. If you have something to do, talk about it later. I feel bad now."
Qi Yuncheng raised his eyes and looked at the audience and said: "Three years have passed, and it's time to go to Beijing for the scientific examination again. Everyone has packed up and put it away, and made an appointment with Shen Can!
Come on, let's take the Yanjing exam. You didn't take it seriously the first two times, but you won't make a mistake this time.
It’s not that we praise you, you surpass all of us in terms of talent and knowledge, so you have to go.
For a while, my uncle also persuaded me, and my neighbors also persuaded me, and then I followed everyone and rushed to Yanjing City."
The voice suddenly faltered a bit. Qi Yuncheng felt the rhythm in his heart and nodded to enter the second half of the story.
"I came back a little early. There is still half a month before the scientific examination, and it is just in time for spring. In spring, the willow buds and trees are green, and the spring scenery is bright. What these scholars like to do is go outing, sightseeing, and reciting poems to answer questions."
"On such a day, some of my brothers had nothing to do, so they took Shen Can out to Qihuamen to have some fun. As soon as we left Qihuamen, we were traveling around the country. After looking at it, we felt much better.
Suddenly looking back, Shen Can discovered..."
Qi Yuncheng turned to one side and pointed in the direction of one o'clock, "A woman is coming over here. She looks to be about twenty-four or five years old. She is riding a little donkey, and there is a little boy beside her."
"At first glance, I saw that this woman was very beautiful, but somehow she looked like Mrs. Huang. Uncle Shen was stunned at that time.
Eh!!!”
Qi Yuncheng looked shocked and looked around on the stool. At the same time, he explained, "Firstly, it looks really good. Secondly, it looks like his dead wife. He can't help but straighten his horse's head and walk away behind the donkey."
The brothers who were shouting about horse racing just now ran over there without noticing Shen Can.
Shen Can naturally followed the woman in the opposite direction."
"The woman sat on the donkey and looked back at him from time to time, and she felt happy."
"As soon as she was happy, Shen Can thought, oh, she looks so much like my wife. The closer she followed, more than ten miles away, she turned a corner." Qi Yuncheng gestured with his hands, "There is a small yard next to it. It's not big. Woman After getting off the donkey, someone took it away, and she pushed the door open and went in."
"Shen Can also got off his horse and stood on the ground looking at it, dumbfounded, thinking to himself what is going on? After being stunned for about ten minutes, the door opened and a man came out."
…
"Um???"
The audience was a little stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect there was anyone inside, but there was no movement and they continued to listen.
"When I'm about forty years old, I'm happy when I don't talk. Hahaha, sir, what's the matter with you?
Ah, it's okay, I just saw the young lady and followed her here accidentally."
Suddenly Qi Yuncheng looked at the audience and said something of his own, "This is actually called not being able to speak, honest man. I think this little lady came here accidentally. If the other party wants to cause trouble, they can start a fight."
"Fortunately, the Lord doesn't care.
The little lady you are asking about is not someone else, she is my cousin. I am her cousin. My surname is Yu. I often run errands for people and move goods. They all call me...Yu Qian'er, call me when you are familiar with her. Xiaoyu or Xiaoqian!"
The words were deliberately delayed for half a minute, and as a result of the deliberate delay, the audience laughed and almost shouted their names together.
Qi Yuncheng was also smiling behind the table, but he immediately explained, "People's money is taken away, and a thousand is taken away. It has nothing to do with modesty.
The word yu is superfluous.
People in ancient times were like this sometimes. Whatever you do, they would easily call you a nickname based on your job."
"Shen Can was polite after hearing this, brother Yu Qian.
You're being polite, isn't that right? My sister was also unlucky and her husband died. She just went to visit his grave. When she came back, she told me when she came into the house that someone was following her. Who are you?
I came to Beijing to take the exam. My surname is Shen, Shen Can. I noticed that your sister looks very much like my deceased wife. I have been thinking about it for three years. I never thought about anything else, but when I saw your sister today, I suddenly felt... Just an idea, I want to propose marriage, but I don’t know if it’s possible?
Okay, okay, let me tell you about this, please wait a moment."
"After about a cup of tea, this Yu Qian came out and said with a smile: I wish you congratulations!!
What's wrong?
It’s done. As soon as I told her, she was very happy and said that the scholars are gentle and gentle. She just looked back at you a few times and thought it was very good. She was very happy."
Qi Yuncheng acted as Yu Qian and thought for a few seconds, "Well, if you are willing, we don't have anything else. This cabin was left by my brother-in-law.
You are here, choose a good day to choose the anniversary of your death, and you can move here and get married."
"Shen Can nodded, okay, I don't have anywhere to go in Yanjing City. I'm getting married here, and then go home with me after taking the exam."
"As soon as he said it, the marriage seemed to be decided. He thought very simply, and half of the reason for getting married was because he missed his deceased wife, so he chose a good day to get married in one to three to five days."
"On the night of the bridal chamber, with tall red candles, a newlywed couple sat facing each other. The beauties looked more and more beautiful under the light. After hearing this, there were more people on the bridge.
Shen Can said: Madam, go to sleep."
"The woman looked at him."
Qi Yuncheng sat upright on the stool, his body and neck not moving, he rolled his eyes as if peeping at me, "You don't know my name yet.
Oops, I forgot, what do you call Madam?
My maiden name is Lu, and my name is Lu Huiniang.
Hui Niang, today you and I are married. Please take care of me in the future.
You're welcome, please go to bed first.
oh!"
"Shen Can felt that Madam was a little shy, so she lay down, woke up, and thought about it, why should I sleep alone in the wedding room with candles?
Yi Gulu sat up and found that the lady was still sitting with him, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Shen Can tilted his head and asked, "Are you sleepy? Go to sleep!"
The lady shook her head and looked up again: Hey, let me ask you something. Are you a scholar who is rushing to take the exam?
right.
None of your friends has been successful in becoming an official?
There are too many. In the first two subjects, I have about thirty friends who are officials, from Beijing to all over the country, they are all my friends."
"The madam nodded: If this is the case, I will marry you!!!"
The helpless tone showed, and everyone in the audience was puzzled. It was already the wedding night, why did I say that I would really marry you?
They're not the only ones wondering.
So is Shen Can from the story.
Qi Yuncheng's eyes were startled, and his brows moved slightly inward, "Ah? I didn't understand what you said, why are you saying it's true or false?
Huiniang sighed, that Yu Qian is not a good person!!!"
Ha ha ha ha!
In a word, everyone in the theater was extremely happy, including Guo Degang, who was watching the child from the side, and Yan Hexiang, who was standing aside with his hands folded.
Actually it's not a burden, but it sounds so fun.
Qi Yuncheng was helpless. After the laughter subsided for a while, he explained: "Yu Qian is not a good person, he is a kidnapper. That day I went to visit the grave not for my late husband, but for my mother.
Let me tell you clearly, this is a scam. It happens every time. I tell people that I am not sleepy, and then at dawn Yu Qian brings someone to the door, saying that you are molesting a good woman, and then blackmailing you.
But it’s not a problem for me to be like this for the rest of my life. If you are willing, I will really marry you and the two of us will leave in the same night.
When Shen Can heard this, he said, "My dear mother, is there such a thing in the world? So why don't you just leave quickly?"
"Let's go!! We've packed up and put away our things, but before we leave, Shen Can wants to prevent him from catching up with us, so I'll write a note!"
As a matter of course, Qi Yuncheng picked up his fan and wrote a few words on the table.
"I picked up a pen and wrote a note saying that I would not rush for the exam, and the two of us fled to Shandong.
After finishing writing, the couple ran out and found another inn. After dawn, as expected, Yu Qian came with someone. When he entered the door, he knew he had run away. When he saw another one, he said he was running to Shandong, chase him!!!"
"Leaving Yanjing City and running to the east of Shandong to catch up with me, let's not mention that Shen Can did well in the scientific examination this year and won the top prize!
By divine grace, she was appointed as the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi Province, and Lu Huiniang suddenly became an official's wife.
We went to take office together and arrived in Taiyuan, Shanxi."
"When I took office in Taiyuan Prefecture, it was indispensable to check these folk customs. Over the past month, I had accumulated a lot of cases that needed to be promoted to the court.
Sitting here, someone sent someone and said: Master, we have captured a group of thieves, please take a look.
OK, bring it up.
As soon as he was told to bring them up, more than ten people came to the hall and knelt down here. When the master saw it, he was not an outsider. The first one was Yu Qian!
Yu Qian didn't know what was going on, so he knelt down and said, "Oh, see you, sir~"
You are so bold, cheating and abducting, the king's law is very strict, you can know the crime.
Sir, we were wronged. We are all peaceful and kind people, and we have never done anything bad.
The copycat asks you what's going on but you don't want to do anything, come on, take him down and beat him!!"
"Master, don't fight! Don't fight!!"
Qi Yuncheng looked frightened and raised his head. At the same time, he continued to narrate, "Looking up and seeing people, Yu Qian was stunned: Master, it's not our fault. It's not only us who lie these days, officials also tell lies."
What's going on?
You said you were running away from Shandong, why did you come to Shanxi?"
Snap!!!!
Xingmu patted it, and the falling sound echoed throughout the theater.
And it was this sound that instantly woke up the audience who had been entranced from their trance.
After waking up.
The noise they made instantly covered up Xingmu.
Quack, quack, quack, quack!
"oh!!!"
"good!!!"
"One more!!"
…
Standing up, Qi Yuncheng quickly bowed. In fact, he knew that his book would not do anything good. The audience's cheers were entirely due to the feeling of satisfaction after the story was told.
Storytelling is like this. After entering the story, there are actually very few actions like eating melon seeds and peanuts.
I would just stare at the actor and say it, for fear of missing something.
And when he finishes speaking, Xingmu wakes the person up and the story is finished, the audience will feel a different kind of satisfaction if he really speaks it well.
This is also the reason why in the early days, the old gentleman’s storytelling skills could lure people away from doing anything for an entire afternoon.
Even obsessed with it.
It is during the process of listening to a book that only the book remains in my mind, even after I finish listening, I still linger on it.
And Qi Yuncheng still needs to practice more.
"My abilities have improved again. How happy will Mr. Jin be when he sees him next time!!"
Seeing the child come down, Guo Degang stood up and muttered: Skills still need to be learned, but progress also needs to be made.
Because storytelling is much more difficult than cross talk, and it requires more experience than cross talk.
If an old man talks about the Three Kingdoms and a child talks about the Three Kingdoms, the audience will not believe it at all.
If you have no hair on your lips, the audience won't believe a word you say.
Therefore, it is more difficult to cultivate future generations of storytelling than cross talk.
Otherwise, it would not have been surpassed by cross talk in recent years. In the previous era, storytelling was very popular.
