Wang Erlang was busy at the porridge shop. These days, his life was quite good. With the money Liu Chan gave him, he arranged his family property in the county and brought his mother and wife to the county.
Within a day, he became a city dweller, and in the words of his relatives, he directly changed from Sanlang to Wangjun, and in an instant he was more promising than Sanlang Wangcheng.
He did not treat his relatives badly. He selected some smart children in the family, thinking that they could keep them with him in the future to help Liu Chan. He also helped to repair the houses of several poor relatives.
He became a good person among the people in the countryside. Hearing the praises of others and looking at the admiring eyes, Erlang was very happy.
However, he still sells porridge here all day long, even though he no longer needs to do this.
Because of his recent changes, many people came to support him. Wang Erlang was busy when suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from a distance, walking towards him calmly.
Recognizing this person, he was his great benefactor Liu Chan. If it weren't for him, how could he be living like this? Erlang immediately ran over in a hurry.
"Greetings to Mr. Liu!" Erlang saluted gracefully.
Liu Chan nodded, found a chair and sat down, and said, "Get me some food first..."
"Okay!" Wang Erlang hurriedly ran over, and after working for a while, he placed the meat porridge in front of Liu Chan. Liu Chan quickly started eating. Wang Erlang stood aside and looked at him with a smile, "I heard that Liu Chan
You are very happy, but the humble people in the countryside dare not go to congratulate you..." Wang Erlang said, but Liu Chan suddenly put down the meat porridge in his hand.
He let out a long sigh, as if the meat porridge had become tasteless.
Wang Erlang subconsciously felt something was wrong. He carefully looked at Liu Chan in front of him again. He was a little fatter than before. However, he found something suspicious. In such a hot weather, he was actually wearing tight clothes. His neck was
Wang Erlang, who had not even shown it, and who had quite a bit of experience in this area, immediately understood. As a person who had been through it, he did not point it out. Instead, he asked with a smile: "I wonder why Mr. Liu is looking for me this time?"
He introduced the topic very well, and Liu Chan said: "I built some pavilions and courtyards in the west of the city, and also contacted seven or eight shops. In this way, you can pack up and move there tomorrow. In addition, you
Have you prepared the storybook?" Because Wang Erlang was still in the stage of reading, Liu Chan sent someone to help him write the storybook. Wang Erlang said, that person wrote it.
Erlang hurriedly said: "Everything is ready. The only ones that have been sorted out so far are "The Legend of Valor", "The Legend of Champions", "The Legend of Duan Jiang Pingyi"..."
"Very good. You will go to the west of the city tomorrow. I will arrange it for you. As for you, you will not open this meat porridge shop and concentrate on practicing your script. When the time comes, I want you to be the first to play. You must be
Shock everyone..." Liu Chan gave his instructions seriously. Wang Erlang listened and kept nodding his head. When Liu Chan finished speaking, he promised again and again that he would never embarrass Liu Chan.
Liu Chan nodded and ate the meat porridge again happily.
"Liu Jun, isn't one courtyard enough to tell stories? Why buy so many courtyards?"
"Haha, you don't understand. I bought another courtyard, which is full of goods, all kinds of goods, food, drink, and everything. In this way, everyone in Luoyang will come
I come here to buy all kinds of items... I told you that you don't understand. Anyway, follow me and learn more. Maybe you will be able to be self-reliant in the future..."
"I would like to follow Mr. Liu for the rest of my life and not have to rely on myself."
Liu Chan laughed.
With Liu Chan's instructions, Erlang did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly closed the shop and returned home. He ignored his wife who came to inquire and locked himself in the inner room. He took the storybook and kept talking.
He recited, if he wants to continue such a good life, he has to work hard, he will play the day after tomorrow, and he must practice hard these days.
The next day, he took the meat porridge belongings and several family members to the Ping Lane in the west of the city. The four large courtyards outside this lane were all bought by Liu Chan. It can be seen that Liu Chan is rich and powerful, and Liu Chan had already arranged
The good people came to receive him. After Erlang arrived, these servants came over and helped them into the back kitchen. The children of the Wang family will be busy in the back kitchen from now on.
Wang Erlang looked at the courtyard. There were chairs and tables inside and out. The inside was more luxurious, and there were separate rooms. The interior layout was very exquisite. There were trees everywhere, and there were even
There are several rockeries. Wang Erlang has never seen such a luxurious compound. In addition, the scale is very huge. The two large courtyards are connected, and the servants are busy everywhere.
During this period, Liu Chan never came in person. However, there was an old man who was in the courtyard all day, gesticulating and giving orders to everyone. Wang Erlang wanted to make friends with him, so he found him while they were eating together and sat down.
Beside the old man, he asked with a smile: "I would like to make friends with the old man, but I wonder what his surname is?"
"My surname is Liu...", the old man said a little arrogantly.
"So it's Tian's surname!" Wang Erlang quickly complimented.
The old man shook his head hurriedly and said: "I am just the manager of Sikong Mansion. You can't say that. My family head and the young family head are the surnames of heaven!" Wang Erlang smiled sarcastically and said: "I call you Wang.
Jie, I am the second eldest child in the family, so my father-in-law just calls me Erlang.” After hearing this, the steward said oh, and then asked: “Are you Wang Erlang?”
"Does my husband know me?"
"The young master once ordered that you come with me later."
"Here you go!"
After eating, Wang Erlang followed the old man to a high platform. Wang Erlang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In front of him, there were seats full of seats, and there were even pavilions above them, all facing his direction.
, the old man rushed him to the stage and placed a strange thing in front of him. Wang Erlang had never seen it before. The old man said: "You can start talking. Say it a few more times. You must not do it tomorrow."
Something went wrong!"
Wang Erlang took a deep breath, looked at the empty surroundings, and began his story.
"It is said that in the year of Xiping, the Kushans were vicious. From time to time, merchants escorted the strange pearls entrusted by the King of Anxi to Luoyang. Along the way, the King of the Kushans knew about this...", I have to say.
, Wang Erlang is really talented in this area. He danced and narrated, and soon attracted a large number of slaves. Even the old man was listening with interest below.
Wang Erlang continued talking for half an hour, during which he drank several times of water. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the old man suddenly shouted: "No need!" The old man's voice directly interrupted Wang Erlang's story, and many listeners
The rising servant looked at him even more displeased, but the old man ignored him. Wang Erlang hurriedly walked down and asked: "But what's wrong with the story?"
"It's not bad, it's great. I'm afraid if you keep talking like this, your throat won't be able to make any sound tomorrow. Just go and have a rest and just memorize it silently!"
"Here you go!"
"By the way, chef, give Erlang some good food!" the old man shouted.
On the third day after Liu Chan and Wang Erlang met, the gate of the courtyard was opened early in the morning. At that moment, guests were already filing in, and Wang Erlang was a little frightened.
How could we welcome so many visitors when we opened our doors? This was something Wang Erlang didn't dare to think about. Liu Chan still didn't show up, but there were more and more visitors.
Drinks and meals were served one by one, and the steward arranged for the dancers to come on stage, winning loud applause.
In such a commotion, the real owner suddenly appeared, but Liu Chan was not as arrogant as before. He lowered his head and followed the two old men. As soon as these two old men appeared, the whole courtyard was filled with confusion.
The young people all bowed directly. One of them looked slightly similar to Liu Chan. Wang Erlang also recognized them. Aren't these two his old customers?
Could it be that they are also big shots?
Wang Erlang was trembling in his heart. The two of them sat on the upper seats. Liu Chan could only sit behind them. The three of them didn't know what they were talking about.
Finally, it was Wang Erlang's turn to take the stage. In the eyes of everyone's doubts, Wang Erlang stepped up to the high platform step by step, looked at everyone, bowed, took a deep breath, and then spoke. He looked at
There were many distinguished guests in front of him, but their eyes did not fall on anyone. They were telling stories and dancing. Soon, all the distinguished guests who originally thought they were inexplicable were attracted by him.
Everyone looked at him curiously, and some were already fascinated.
And Wang Erlang became more and more excited as he talked. He couldn't help shouting when he got to the wonderful part, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Everyone applauded, but Liu Chan was the only one who was seriously looking at the distinguished guests around him. Most of them were
Those who came just for his sake had been invited by him a long time ago. Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that this unprecedented method had successfully attracted them.
His father and father-in-law are all clapping and applauding now.
Okay, great, as long as you succeed here, your career will start and it will get bigger and bigger!
Liu Chan thought about it in his heart, and finally, when Wang Erlang talked about the time when Dong Taiwei took command and went on an expedition, he suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "If you want to know what happens next, I hope you can come tomorrow!" He bowed again and then
After walking off the stage, everyone watched him leave with puzzled faces, and were particularly angry at his behavior of leaving right after he mentioned something wonderful. However, the shopkeeper here was powerful and they couldn't afford to offend him.
Seeing the gnashing of teeth around him, Liu Chan felt happy in his heart.
Suddenly, Liu Bei tugged on his sleeve and pulled Liu Chan out of his dream.
"Father?"
"Hurry up and call me the person who was telling the story just now! How can I stop when I hear something wonderful??"
