Cuiwei Tower was already crowded with people and there was a buzz of people.
Early in the morning, before Cuiwei Building opened the door, forty or fifty people gathered at the door. The shopkeeper Yang Hao was frightened and thought he was here to cause trouble. After asking about it, he found out that all these people had heard about Du He yesterday.
Speaking of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", I heard that Du He was coming to Cuiwei Tower early this morning to tell stories. No, it was so early in the morning that he didn't even bother to have breakfast, so he came to Cuiwei Tower.
Yang Hao was stunned. He didn't expect that Du He's "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" would be so popular.
Seeing a few familiar people in the crowd, Yang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you come to Cuiwei Tower today when you were free?" Yang Hao asked.
A handsome young man smiled and said: "Although you are a somewhat capable speaker in Cuiweilou, it is not interesting to listen for a long time. On the contrary, I heard that Du He, the son of Lantian County, talked about "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" yesterday.
I also listened to the retelling, but I was very interested, and I wish I could be there in person. No, I will come today to see what kind of ability this Du He is!"
A fat middle-aged man asked curiously: "Shopkeeper Yang, the son of Lantian County should be here today, right? I'm still waiting to hear from him how Yang Guang won the title of prince?"
Everyone was talking a lot, and after the servants in Cuiwei Building had decorated the teahouse, they started to pour in and find their own seats to sit down.
And there was an endless stream of people coming, just like going to a market.
Those who come early will naturally get one or two good seats.
Those who came late could only stand around under the stage, but everyone was not angry and gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
Yang Hao listened carefully and found that the discussion was all about the story of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Some say that Sunshine is cruel and ruthless.
Some said it was a pity that the beautiful woman Zhang Lihua was killed.
It was also said that Chen Shubao lived a happy life.
But without exception, everyone is looking forward to what happens next.
Seeing that Du He didn't show up, Yang Hao asked a speaker who often performed at Cuiwei Tower to come on stage and tell everyone a story about Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the speaker arrived on the stage, the audience became restless.
"Get off!"
"We want to listen to "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"!"
"Get out of here, we want to read Du He's storyteller!"
The speaker came down from the stage dejectedly, cupped his hands towards Yang Hao, and ran away.
Yang Hao looked up at Wang Zhengsheng across the table and said, "Zhu, why don't you go and say something? It's not an option for everyone to wait like this!"
Wang Zhengsheng shook his head and said in a sad tone: "I still don't want to show off my shame. Yesterday I listened to "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" by Du He, the son of Lantian County. It really shocked me. If it were me, I would never be able to do it. Alas
, I don’t know where he got the book from, but there is such a wonderful book!”
Yang Hao's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
He and Wang Zhengsheng are good friends, and they are quite familiar with this guy's character. To put it simply, Wang Zhengsheng is very aloof and arrogant, and ordinary people can't stand him at all.
An arrogant guy actually has low self-esteem?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise at the door.
Yang Hao and Wang Zhengsheng looked up and saw Du He walking through the door like a star holding the moon.
The crowd, which was originally blocked, automatically moved out of the way.
There were people greeting him along the way.
Du He also waved and smiled. Under the escort of Lu Bu and Lao Fu, Du He walked to the second floor.
Yang Hao rushed up, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "County, you are here. If you don't come today, it won't be surprising if these people demolish my Cuiwei Building."
Du He couldn't laugh or cry.
He also didn't expect that he would become so popular overnight.
As soon as I walked in from the door, I felt like I was walking on a red carpet.
It feels like being a big star.
All eyes are on you, all the stars are cheering!
Du He waved his hand and said, "I was tired yesterday and slept a little longer this morning. Shopkeeper Yang, could you please prepare a little bit."
Yang Hao smiled and said: "The table is ready, County Prince, please!"
The old man next to me hurriedly handed over "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Du He took the notebook and strode onto the stage.
The people who were noisy before now all quieted down and stared at Du He intently.
I saw Du He slowly taking out a piece of wood from his sleeve, which was the wake-up wood he asked Zhang Ducheng to make last night.
Snapped.
The sound of the wake-up wood was much louder than yesterday's fan.
Du He smiled slightly and said:
"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 right way in the world..."
Snapped!
Another slap woke up the wood.
"...It's the vicissitudes of life!"
As soon as the setting poem came out, everyone in the audience couldn't help it and started to applaud.
The voices of Du He and others weakened slightly, and then he said: "Last time, we talked about the Sui Dynasty lord raising an army to attack Chen, and the Jin king making a great contribution to seize the throne. Today, we will talk about the second time..."
I just said this.
Then I heard a sudden shouting from below.
"No, we don't want to listen to the second time, we want to listen to the first time!"
"My lord, we were not present yesterday, and we want to hear what happened the first time!"
"My lord, please tell me the story of the first episode!"
Almost everyone was shouting, and it took Du He a long time to figure out what was going on.
There were only about thirty people present yesterday.
Today there are at least 300 people.
The first time many people listened to the book, they only heard fragments of it from other people's mouths, so everyone strongly urged Du He to read the first time again.
Du He stood on the stage and asked, "Do you want to hear the first episode?"
"yes!"
Everyone in the audience agreed in unison.
Snapped.
Du He woke up and said: "This young master has never been in the habit of going back in story telling. Today, I will start from the second chapter."
Everyone was stunned.
As expected, Du He still hasn't changed his harmful nature, he doesn't care what others think, and he still behaves in such a domineering manner.
But everyone can figure it out, after all, speakers like Wang Zhengsheng rely on this to survive.
But Du He was different. He was the son of a dignified prince, and he had no worries about food and clothing. He was also the son of Lantian County who was ennobled by His Majesty. Storytelling was just a temporary interest and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Many people looked disappointed.
At this time, I heard Du He say: "In order to take care of the audience who were not present yesterday, before I start talking about this second chapter, I will use a few words to briefly summarize the plot of the first chapter."
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up again, and they all listened to Du He's story attentively.
After a while, Du He briefly retold the story from the first chapter.
Then, he said: "Let's talk about this second episode today! The second episode is called: Yang Guang tried to slander and change his position, and Dugu killed the palace concubine out of jealousy."
