70. Winter New Year's Party (Part 1)

"Yang Bailao, have you thought about it? It's New Year's Eve and it's time for us to pay off our debts."

Winter Festival, one of the most important festivals in the Han Dynasty, is also one of the rare statutory holidays in the country. Whenever this day comes, everyone from the emperor, the supreme head of state, to the common people will put down their work to celebrate. Even if

Even those tenants in high-end courtyards will also receive some animal waste and a thick or thin red envelope depending on the generosity of the owner.

Different from the meaning of the Spring Festival three months later, the Winter Festival means that everything begins to enter a state of dormancy. Especially in the core area of ​​the north controlled by the Han Dynasty, it is too cold and freezing for farming. Therefore, we take this opportunity to recuperate and repair our buildings.

Agricultural tools are prepared for the hard work after the coming spring.

Therefore, unlike the Spring Festival, which emphasizes the beginning of farming, the Winter Festival emphasizes celebration. Even a stingy emperor like Emperor Ling would open the treasury a little in the Gyeonggi area to show the emperor's great favor. Sometimes

When he was in a good mood, he would leave the palace and go to a minister's home to "have fun with the people".

At this time, the Li Mansion was also brightly lit, and a makeshift stage looked so dazzling under the light of many torches. Under the stage were many flowing mats, and on them were placed the unique specialties of the Li family——

Li's Qiang Cooking. There are a group of agile butchers borrowed from Butcher Zhang to handle various ingredients for the guests, and there are also many boys borrowed from the Zhang family to cook the meat and vegetables for the guests.

Directly in front of the stage are the guests of honor at this party - including Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi, the former head of the Zhang family, and Zhang Fei, the current head of the family. Tong Yuan, a powerful celebrity in Hebei, and Li Shushi, the current head of the Li family (self-proclaimed)

and the ape Liu Xuande, who is revered as a descendant of the royal family.

Of course, Liu Bei was able to achieve this position not just because of his self-proclaimed status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty. After all, there were so many people named Liu in this era, so for the Han Dynasty, any member with the surname Liu who had not been reported by Zongzheng

None of them can be regarded as true descendants of the royal family. It may not be a big problem in private, but if it is brought to a big stage, it will be easy to get caught.

Therefore, Liu Bei did something very important to be qualified to sit here. What Liu Bei did was to use his connections and the good reputation of the Zhang family to successfully recruit Lu Zhi, the number one scholar in Zhuo County.

The eldest son, Lu Jian, was invited to the party. Of course, although Lu Jian modestly claimed that he was just influenced by his father, there was still a seat for him at the table directly in front of the stage. So that table had only a seat in total.

So six people.

The closer to the periphery, the lower the level of the people working. By the time they reach the outermost periphery, they are already the relatives of the servants. This is also a benefit given by Li Shushi. After all, the servants of the Zhang family are not his own. Giving more benefits will not only leave a good impression

It can also mobilize their enthusiasm, so why not do it.

In fact, there are many wealthy businessmen who plan to come over to join in the fun. After all, Li Shushi's Winter Festival Gala is quite a gimmick. There are only a few things for each family to celebrate the Winter Festival. A reunion dinner is a must-have, and then invite those who can afford it.

A vaudeville troupe or geisha perform a few shows and sing a few songs, and finally they roll into bed with their wives and concubines in their arms, waiting to celebrate the new year and light firecrackers.

However, because many of the programs at this Winter Festival Gala had a strong sense of parody, and considering that if the participants were exposed too seriously, they might go dark and go berserk, Li Shushi could only reluctantly reject these big sponsors.

Outside the door. But if everyone can still have the heart to make some noise next year, it won’t be too late to form a professional theater troupe.

Although the first table only held a total of six people, only three people could actually sit down. Li Shushi had to jump up and down all night, from hosting the show to participating in the performance to the final "fireworks show", which was indispensable for his participation.

Zhang Fei and Liu Bei also had a lot of performance tasks and it was difficult to sit still. So Old Tong was so happy that no one was competing with him for food, and it was a great pleasure to have a drink with Zhang Qi and Lu Jian.

And because of the special nature of the Winter Festival, it doesn't hurt to be a little wild today. After all, in Li Shushi's view, the Han Dynasty's Winter Festival is actually the Han Dynasty's version of the carnival, but it has always lacked carnival methods.

In the evening, with an era-defining second kick flying into the sky, the first Winter Festival Gala of Han Dynasty began.

Standing in the center of the stage, Li Shushi looked at the flashes of firelight in the sky, and then looked at the faces below the stage that were surprised by the firelight. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, the wisdom of the working people is infinite. I thought back then, I just

But and

Old Tong made suggestions and basic formulas for black powder, and this half-baked Taoist priest came up with it in just a few days. At first, Li Shushi thought that Old Tong was gifted and unpredictable, but Old Man Tong turned him away with just one sentence.

Said to lie down.

"My adoptive father also studied this thing of yours back then. I remember he said that it has no great use other than making the sound louder. Why, do you have any new ideas?"

Fortunately, Li Shushi's idea of ​​using black gunpowder to make firecrackers aroused Old Man Tong's interest, and he finally made some usable finished products before the winter festival. Especially considering that in this world, as long as the HP is not cleared, no one will die and no one will be hurt.

However, the safety of gunpowder and firecrackers has been greatly improved.

Although "Er Kick" is not a high-tech production, the debut of this big man in this entertainment industry is shocking. Except for Li Shushi on the stage and Old Tong in the audience, everyone else looked shocked at first and then

He looked at the flash of fire with a feverish face, and then the crowd who had regained consciousness burst into loud cheers.

Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi each had a loudspeaker (obtained from the old blacksmith for being cute). Li Shushi's opening remarks were simple and lacked novelty. However, his role was just as a target, and the job of provoking laughter from the audience was

Su Xiaololi is a dark lolita, and her increasingly sharp comments are so interesting in this day where we just want to relax.

The first program at the opening is Guqin played by Xiaoqiang.

Speaking of which, everyone was a little shy about performing on stage, but when Lu Bu was forced to perform the first show by Li Shushi, many people inexplicably burst out with strange fighting power. So Dian Wei, who wanted to perform a real flying halberd, wanted to

Zhang Fei, who wanted to sing a rock song written for himself as compensation, and Guan Yu, who wanted to go on stage to recite his own poems, seemed to be very interested in the number one title.

According to some onlookers, these people had privately fought more than once for this starting position. However, Lu Xiaoqiang had a firm victory over his opponent in terms of experience, level, and skills, so this battle suddenly started burning out for no reason.

In the end, there was no change in the result. Of course, the two little foxes Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi, who made suggestions and fanned the flames, kept laughing as if they had succeeded in stealing the chicken. Well, as expected, with such provocation, the number of programs was not a problem.

Lu Bu learned his guqin from his wife Yan, and was later trained by Su Xiaoluoli, a guy who looked at her as more professional than Yan, so his playing was already at a considerable level in the eyes of Lu Jian in the audience. Look.

The most knowledgeable and elegant people in the audience all praised his performance, and Lu Bu was also greatly encouraged.

When the song ended, the audience burst into cheers, and the cheers continued to emerge under Li Shushi's instigation. This is the charm of the Winter Festival. Everyone put aside their usual identities to enjoy this rare happiness.

But perhaps the only thing that was not harmonious was the small items thrown on the stage by some older girls, which made many rich and powerful men full of resentment towards Lu Bu, the pretty boy.

The second program after Lu Bu is a sketch about the story of Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren. Of course, this is definitely not the white-haired girl, but a story about the necessity of the spirit of contract.

Huang Shiren, played by Liu Bei, and Yang Bailao, played by Lu Bu. As for the director's position, Li Shushi arranged for Gao Shun, who has no acting talent at all. But seeing how conscientious Gao was during the rehearsal, I guess this

The difference between the professionalism and the disloyalty of those two people is quite close.

Speaking of which, Li Shushi still has some regrets about the actors in this play. In his opinion, if Liu Bei had played Yang Bailao and Sun Quan had played Huang Shiren, then the story would have been much more perfect. Of course, if another Shanyue leader was asked to speak

The director is even better.

What, you said you don’t understand why. Hee hee hee (Haruhara Mei’s signature laugh), drama comes from life and is higher than life, and as Yang Bailao said in the play, "The debt problem is a legacy of history."

.

Although everyone didn't know that the white-haired girl was a magical thing, this did not prevent them from watching the three people on the stage playing tricks. You must know that although the landlords are very awesome these days, there are still many ruffians and business people.

His friends often cause problems of one kind or another, and although there are evil slaves who hurt people, if they encounter a strong point order, the whole family will be buried with them. So Li Shushi is not worried that the audience in the audience will be confused.

.

Finally, Li Shushi made a concluding speech: The contract is really important, otherwise the person who owes the debt will become the uncle, and the person who asks for the debt will become the grandson.

Of course, the performance of Liu Bei, the main performer of this show, the top actor of the Three Kingdoms, really opened Li Shushi's eyes. He cried, laughed and cried whenever he wanted. He pretended to be crazy and acted stupidly with ease, and his grasp of details was amazing.

, he really lives up to his title of Best Actor. And this is just the fledgling Liu Bei. Think about how natural it will be for him to turn a C-turn all the way from the northeast of the Han Dynasty to the southwest of the country. When his acting skills are perfected,

It's so touching.

But at this time, although Liu Bei had great potential as a politician, in the end, he still had more pure attributes than thick and black attributes. He was very happy that his ability could bring joy to the people of the Han Dynasty. After he stepped down, he couldn't help but drag Li Shushi.

She thanked him for giving her this opportunity and expressed her hope that she could participate in similar programs in the future.

To have the future Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty express his sincere gratitude, Li Shushi felt extremely happy.

p.s. I finally don’t have to run naked this week, and I’m very happy. Although the heavyweight list is not a heavyweight list, I still hope to achieve a decent result. I hope new and old book friends can continue to support us.

p.s. Does it have to be added to the list? As a rookie, I don’t know at all. But compared to those gods who can run at 6,000 per hour, we, a novice who is no better than us, are really far behind. So I don’t compare with those.

The strong people are competing, and the basic update is still once a day, with an additional update every 25 votes. Anyway, it only lasts for one week, so let's work hard while there are no serious health problems.

I bow again and thank you all for your support~
