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.
Madam said, what kind of job is that? You can learn literary 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!
"Suddenly Qi Yuncheng turned back to himself and began to narrate, "He didn't go this time. All the classmates who were with him went, more than a dozen of them went, and when they came back, six or seven of them became 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 advising. Three years have passed and everyone who is going to take the exam this time has gathered together to think about it."
Qi Yuncheng on the stage turns to the characters and talks about 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 really weak and she keeps getting sick. He is worried.
The one who said, no, a man with ambitions all over the world, how can he do it by staying at home and taking care of the sick? Let us advise him.
Okay, let’s go 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 because of people. If people don’t live, the story won’t live either.
So I 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 let me 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 prostitute 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 anyway?
My wife is happy"
Qi Yuncheng laughed while talking, and at the same time, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows 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 words 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 perfect wife.
Otherwise, I would not persuade my husband to go to this point.
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: "I tried to persuade you every day, but it didn't work anymore, so Huang asked my 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 finally 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. 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 recited the words, "Three days of hard work will turn you into a ghost, and two words of fame will make you miserable. This describes the difficulty of passing scientific examinations in the past.
Because the scientific examination is not the current college entrance examination, you can go back to sleep after the test, and there are all kinds of delicious food.
No.
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 not be allowed in until you have done so. 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 out to the toilet in the middle of writing, then you go, and the invigilator will put a black stamp on your paper.<
/p>
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 felt a little unable to sit still in his seat.
"Shen Can feels uneasy and always feels like something is going on in his heart. 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 perfunctory.
In the end, I had nightmares every day and was mentally confused.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After finally finishing the exam and handing in the papers, I was still thinking about it while living in the shop."
"I said in my heart that after the results are released, regardless of 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 his place of residence to think about things with a frown on his face."
Qi Yuncheng nodded and pondered, "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, all of you came back and told everyone that I would like to congratulate you. But I couldn't stay any longer and had to go home. I always had nightmares during the exam and thought about my wife.
It’s nothing.”
"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. When the time comes, you can take up the post with whomever you want, and you may as well 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 couldn't help but hurriedly put their things away and headed home. There were no books all the way. When we got home that day, Mrs. Huang fell seriously ill and passed away!
Shen Can’s blood ran cold!
”
That’s it for storytelling.
The audience who had been listening attentively to begin with, let alone Shen Can’s blood, was almost running 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 impressed?
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. Of course, some tables, chairs, benches or other sounds still exist.
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 even though he was telling the story. It seems that after meeting his daughter, he didn’t delay not only in dating, but also in 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."
"Huh!
”
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 gulp.
"Hey... Wife, I said I was restless, but as expected you left me. You and I were just 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 watch 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 the science test. I only dreamed of going to the grave. I have to go. I have to burn paper for him."
"Follow me, everyone, take the paper money and the 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 I got home, I fell seriously ill.
To put it briefly, it took more than three months to recover.
A few days later, those who were rushing to take the exam came back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors. What happened? From the first time to the second time, all those who were good friends with Shen Can became officials.
I also came here after worshiping my ancestors, knowing that my sister-in-law was gone, and whoever persuaded me cried.
The more I cry, the more helpless I become.
He even looked like he was going crazy.
In the end, some of his good friends 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 continue the relationship and refuses on the spot, we have a very good relationship and cannot marry again.
But someone knows that your sister-in-law is in the dark, so you have to renew your relationship, otherwise she won’t feel at ease even if she dies!
Hey! Stop trying 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. Let's make 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 play in Qihua Gate. As soon as I left Qihua Gate, my brothers and I 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 child beside her."
"When I took a look, I saw that this woman was very beautiful, but somehow she looked like 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's really beautiful. Secondly, it looks like his dead wife. He involuntarily straightened his horse's head and walked 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 sitting on the donkey would look back at him from time to time, and she would be 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 the donkey 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. He was stunned and wondered what was going on. After being stunned for about ten minutes, the door opened and a man came out."
……
"Huh???"
The audience was stunned for a moment when they heard this. They didn't expect that there were people inside, but there was no movement and they continued to listen.
"When you are about forty years old, you are happy without talking. Hahaha, sir, what's wrong with you?
Ah, it’s okay, I just saw the young lady and followed her over 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 the young lady followed 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 almost shouted their names together while laughing.
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.
Sometimes people in ancient times were like this. 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."
"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 polite. She looked back at you a few times just now and thought it was very good. She was very happy."
Qi Yuncheng played Yu Qian and thought for a few seconds, "Well, if you are willing, we have nothing else. This cabin was left by my brother-in-law.
You are here, choose the right day to choose the anniversary of your death, and you move here to get married."
"Shen Can nodded, okay, I don't have anywhere to go in Yanjing City. I'm getting married here, and then come home with me after taking the exam."
"It seemed like the marriage was settled as soon as he said it. 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 wedding night, the red candles are tall, and the newlyweds sit opposite each other. The beauties look more and more beautiful under the light. After hearing this, there are 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, and he rolled his eyes as if peeping at others, "You still don't know what my name is.
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 there, looking at each other, and she didn't know 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?
Yes.
None of your friends have been successful in becoming officials?
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, how could I still say that I would really marry you?
They are not the only ones wondering.
The same goes for 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, so why are you saying it's true or false?
Huiniang sighed, that Yu Qian is not a good person!
”
Hahahaha!
In a word, everyone in the theater was extremely happy, including Guo Degang, who was looking at the child from the side, and Yan Hexiang, who was standing aside with his hands folded.
In fact, 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, and it happens every time. I tell people that I am not sleepy, and wait until dawn when Yu Qian brings someone to the door, saying that you are molesting a good woman, and then blackmailing you.
But it’s okay 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, "My dear mother, is there such a thing in the world? So why don't you just leave quickly."
"Let's go!
We have packed up our things and put them away, but before leaving, Shen Can wanted to prevent him from catching up with us, so I will write a note!"
As a matter of course, Qi Yuncheng picked up his fan and wrote a few words on the table.
"Pick up a pen and write a note saying that I won't take the exam, and the two of us will run away to Shandong.
After finishing writing, the couple ran out and found another inn. After dawn, as expected, Yu Qian came with someone. As soon as he entered the door, he knew that he had run away. When he saw one again, 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 prefect 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, I had to check the local customs and sentiments. In a matter of months, I had accumulated a lot of money and wanted to be promoted to a director.
Sitting here, someone sent someone and said: Master, we have captured a group of thieves, please take a look.
Okay, bring it here.
As soon as he was told to bring them up, more than ten people came to the hall and knelt down here. The master saw that they were not outsiders. The first one was Yu Qian!
Yu Qian didn't know what was going on, so he knelt down here and said: Ouch, see the great master~
You are so bold, cheating and abducting, the king's law is very strict, you can know the crime.
Master, we were wronged. We are all peaceful and kind people, and we have never done anything bad.
If you ask me for help but don't respond, come on, take me down and beat me!
”
"Master, don't fight!
Don't hit me!
”
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. Not only do we lie these days, but officials also tell lies.
What's going on?
You said you were running away from Shandong, why did you come to Shanxi?"
Snap!
Xingmu clapped his hands, and the falling sound resounded 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!
”
"Okay!
”
"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 satisfying feeling after the story was told.
Storytelling is like this. After entering the story, there are actually very few actions such as eating melon seeds and peanuts.
I would just stare at the actors and say, for fear of missing something.
And after finishing speaking, when Xingmu wakes up the person and finishes telling the story, the audience will feel a different kind of satisfaction if he really speaks 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.
During the process of listening to a book, the only thing left in my mind is the book, and even after I finish listening, I still linger on it.
And Qi Yuncheng still needs to practice more.
"My ability has improved again. How happy will Mr. Jin be when he sees it 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, cross talk would not have been surpassed in recent years. In the previous era, storytelling was very popular.
