Chapter 114 Storytelling, singing and acting to persuade people
Lao Fu swore that he had never read such a beautiful book in his life.
He is also considered to be well-read and literate. He has read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, as well as the words of saints. Occasionally he can read some strange stories, but they are all written in ancient Chinese.
But this book "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" completely overturned his understanding. The language of this book is completely in vernacular, and it reads almost like someone chatting next to him.
Every time I read "...how exactly, let's listen to the explanation next time!", Lao Fu felt a heart-wrenching discomfort and couldn't wait to turn to the next page.
Last night he reluctantly went to bed until the middle of the night, that's why.
Early in the morning, I came to Cuiwei Tower with "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Old Fu didn't even understand what Du He wanted to do, but now he suddenly understood.
He knew that Du He asked Wang Erniu and others to print hundreds of copies of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Originally, he was worried that he would not be able to sell it. The wages of these workers could only be printed by his young master. Now it seems that all he needs to do is find Wang Zhengsheng.
After just a few paragraphs, why worry about not being able to sell it?
Or just sell it directly to Wang Zhengsheng.
Du He looked at Wang Zhengsheng who was talking vigorously on the stage and asked, "What is the origin of this person?"
The old man immediately called the waiter over and asked, "Our young master is very interested in Wang Zhengsheng. Do you know his origins?"
The waiter looked hesitant.
Old Fu threw down a dozen copper coins on the table arrogantly: "If you want to know, just tell our young master honestly, these rewards will be yours."
After saying that, the old man said to Du He: "Master, I will pay for the money."
Du He: "..."
When the boy saw the Kaiyuan Tongbao on the table, his eyes widened.
He hurriedly came over and whispered: "Few people know the origin of Wang Zhengsheng, but I happen to know it. It is said that Wang Zhengsheng's family used to be very rich. He was from Luoyang. He was very smart since he was a child. But later on
For some unknown reason, his family was in decline, so he came to Chang'an alone a few years ago to take the scientific examination. He wanted to go to high school and work as an official, but he didn't know that he was deceived on the way there.
After being defrauded of all his money and living in Chang'an, he became the speaker. After a long time, he no longer wanted to take the scientific examination, so he settled in our Cuiwei Building. Don't tell me, the business in Cuiwei Building is so good now, our shopkeeper said
Yes, half of Wang Zhengsheng’s contribution!”
When Du He saw what this guy said about having a nose and eyes, he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he just waved his hand.
The boy picked up the copper coins and ran away with satisfaction.
Du He then shook his head and said: "This person must be arrogant and aloof. It would be difficult for him to talk about "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Besides, in the Tang Dynasty, no one knows "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" better than me.
, it’s better for me, the young master, to come in person...go and call the shopkeeper, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
Old Fu smacked his lips.
What do you mean, after hearing this, the young master wants to go up and say it himself?
The old man didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He stood up and was about to go find the shopkeeper of Cuiweilou when he heard a sudden uproar below.
The crowd that had been listening with great interest suddenly fell into chaos.
Du He and Lao Fu looked up and saw that Wang Zhengsheng had fainted and fell to the ground.
The crowd below immediately made a sound of surprise.
Before everyone could react, a boy from Cuiweilou came forward and helped Wang Zhengsheng away.
Everyone was in chaos.
"Is Wang Zhengsheng okay?"
"It's really pitiful. He must have not had any rest for several days!"
"It's just that he can't talk anymore today. I'd better leave later!"
"Yes, let's go, it's no fun without Wang Zhengsheng!"
Many people came here for Wang Zhengsheng. Seeing that Wang Zhengsheng fainted, they obviously couldn't continue talking, and everyone lost interest.
Immediately, someone stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, many people discovered that a young man had walked onto the stage.
The young man walked up to the center of the stage, clasped his fists and greeted everyone, and said: "Wang Zhengsheng collapsed from exhaustion without rest. Next, let me tell you something."
Everyone was stunned.
Why have you never seen this person before?
In particular, many of the old customers of Cuiwei Building looked at each other in confusion. Why did a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old come out?
Even if Wang Zhengsheng, the speaker, falls down, he should send someone experienced to come up, right?
However, the servants in Cuiwei Building were also a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know where this guy came from.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "He is Du He, the son of Lantian County!"
Lantian County?
Duhe?
The name Du He has always been the most discussed in Chang'an City.
When Du He was mentioned in the past, everyone would think of the four evils of Chang'an.
In the past few days, there have been rumors all over the city that Du He had some bad luck and got the secret method taught by the immortal. Then this guy presented the secret method to His Majesty and obtained the title of Lantian County Prince.
.
Gonghou Bozinan, this is the title level of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the magistrate is the lowest class, he is still a noble.
Even the magistrate of Chang'an County may not be able to obtain the title of county son.
Others say that there is no secret method at all, and that Du He was able to be named the son of Lantian County entirely because he had a father who was a prime minister.
Anyway, Du He's name can be heard in the streets and alleys.
Now, those who were about to leave sat down again.
"I want to see what Du He, the famous Du He, one of the four evils of Chang'an, can do!"
"It's Du He. He's a county magistrate. He doesn't just stay at home, but he comes to perform and talk for everyone?"
"I don't know what happened to the shopkeeper of Cuiwei Building, but he actually recruited Du He."
Everyone stared at Du He with doubts.
As a result, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Du He.
Du He turned around and moved a table to the side.
I looked around, but couldn't find a piece of wood that I could use as an eye-catcher, so I took out my fan.
Snapped.
He banged the fan hard on the table.
Everyone was shocked.
Good guy, this sound is just like the panic of the county magistrate.
Du He stood up straight and said loudly:
"Storytelling, singing and acting are the best way to persuade people!"
"Three major roads take the center!"
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!"
"The road we have taken!"
Snapped.
After saying that, he slapped his fan again.
Everyone was shocked.
Hey guys, has anyone seen this?
What surprised me was that Du He said it with great momentum.
The key point is that these lines of setting poem are not literate, but are like vernacular. As long as you listen carefully, you can understand them.
"good!"
I don't know who shouted "Hello", and someone else started shouting after him.
Du He raised his hand and pressed it down.
Suddenly, the cheers stopped.
Du He looked around, seeing curious faces all around him. He knew that the setting poem he borrowed from a later cross talk master worked, and the effect was surprisingly good.
