In the evening, the Huibin Building is lively and noisy.
Taking advantage of the Three Kingdoms storytelling craze, Huibinlou has entered the ranks of high-end restaurants from medium-sized restaurants in the capital.
In particular, the storyteller Kuai Shui Lao Li has become the signature of Huibin Building.
It is said that in order to win over Kuaizui Lao Li, the boss behind Huibin Building even paid out part of the dividends to firmly bind Kuaizui Lao Li, who has the momentum of being the "number one storyteller in Beijing", to Huibin Building.
For some reason, Huibinlou and Kuaizui Lao Li can always get the latest chapter of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the nearby restaurants, teahouses and storytellers.
Kuaisui Lao Li is also a wonderful person. He tells three chapters of the Three Kingdoms story every day, which is much more "real" than his peers.
As time went by, the advantage gradually turned into a victory, and both Huibinlou and Kuaizui Lao Li made great profits in the extremely lively Three Kingdoms craze.
Of course, some situations behind the scenes cannot be hidden from some capable people.
For example, the owner of Huibin Building is the Xue family who recently arrived in Beijing from Jinling. Kuaisui Lao Li has an inexplicable connection with Huiyou Bookstore, which published "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
These things are not publicized. If there is a way to find out the existence of these things, the most interesting thing is the Three Kingdoms Storytelling. As for the other things, they are not important at all.
In other words, the sign that the Huibin Building has been upgraded from a mid-range restaurant to a high-end restaurant is that almost all the private rooms on the second floor are booked by prominent dignitaries and wealthy businessmen.
Entertainment activities in this era are really scarce. For some people, brothels and theaters are like their own back garden, they have long since lost their novelty and interest.
As soon as the Story of the Three Kingdoms came out, with its passionate and exciting plot, it suddenly attracted some people and regarded listening to the Story of the Three Kingdoms as a rare pastime.
Not only that, some plots in the story of the Three Kingdoms are worthy of discussion and are even recorded in history books, which is rare.
To be honest, the machinations, intrigues, and battles on the battlefield have some merits, and to a discerning eye, they can even be applied to the current disputes in the court.
Such an understanding even made some court officials "shocked" and naturally attracted more upper-class people who were keen to listen to the Three Kingdoms Storytelling.
Even the author of the Three Kingdoms, "San Shao Cong", quietly entered the eyes of some big shots in the court, but Jia Cong himself and the Rongguo Mansion were not aware of it.
Didn’t Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty say, ‘You can know the ups and downs by taking history as a mirror’? In the eyes of some big shots, the ‘Three Young Masters Cong’ who can write about ‘Three Kingdoms’ are at least qualified to talk about certain things.
Jia Cong didn't know this. If he knew, he would definitely show a full "aunt smile". This is the result he wants.
It's a pity that Rongguo Mansion has been marginalized by the court and is not aware of these very secret changes.
What's even weirder is that the other top nobles from the Hachigong family also have no intention of reminding him at all.
In fact, even the "potential" descendant of the noble group, "Third Master Cong", was not put into action.
It can only be said that Rongguo Mansion is really lonely.
…
The Story of the Three Kingdoms had originally been finished. Even if Jia Cong followed the online novel model when writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there were only about 120 chapters in total, and it took about forty days to finish.
The shopkeeper of Huibinlou and Mr. Kuaizui Lao Li were originally worried about the decrease in "audience", but they didn't expect that the regular customers would still come on time during dinner time in the evening.
The power of habit is powerful!
Those regular guests who were accustomed to listening to storytelling in the Huibin Building, including the dignitaries who reserved private rooms on the second floor, still came as usual.
This is the first day after the end of Three Kingdoms Storytelling. If there is no new content to attract them, I believe Huibinlou’s business will be greatly affected from tomorrow on.
No, the waiter next to the 'distinguished guest' on the second floor has already asked: "What kind of joke is today? Or should we tell the story of the Three Kingdoms again?"
All of a sudden, it attracted the attention of all the guests, and even the noise became quieter.
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Kuaisui Lao Li walked up to the table set up in the center of the restaurant, sat down and said with a leisurely smile: "I, Lao Li, have gained some fame recently, how could I do something that would make me lose my reputation?"
"Then what are you talking about today, the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"
"If it's a hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, then don't tell it. I'm tired of hearing the story!"
"That's right, it's best to have a novel story that can relate to the Three Kingdoms!"
"Lao Li, don't destroy your own sign!"
"..."
Suddenly, the guests in the Huibin Building spoke one after another, and the whole first floor became extremely noisy.
Even the VIP rooms on the second floor started making noises, showing no restraint of a 'gentleman' at all, which shows how attractive the Three Kingdoms Storytelling is.
"Haha, don't worry, everyone!"
When the noise in the Huibin Building slowly subsided, Kuai Zui Lao Li slowly picked up a manuscript and said with a smile: "The newly released Three Kingdoms Commentary, 'Cong San Shao' couldn't withstand my Lao Li's request, so I wrote it
A hidden story behind the Three Kingdoms!"
The hidden story of the Three Kingdoms written by Cong Sanshao!
The entire reception building suddenly became quiet, and then became even more noisy and lively.
It can be said that almost all the guests present are surrounded by "San Shao Cong", and they are naturally very curious and looking forward to the new book of this famous novelist.
In particular, Kuai Zui Lao Li also explained that this is a hidden story about the Three Kingdoms.
What hidden stories can there be in the Three Kingdoms? Haven’t they already been told?
Ordinary listeners may not care, but some people with flexible minds and some life experiences know that there are too many secrets hidden in the story of the Three Kingdoms.
For example, on the second floor of the Huibin Building at this time, a group of familiar guests simply gathered together. When they heard the words of Kuaisui Lao Li, they all showed surprise on their faces, looked at each other, and showed a strange smile.
"Could it be that the concubine in the main house of Rongguo Mansion had great insights after actually writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"I really can't say for sure. Although many of the stories in the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' are fictional, it is inevitable to consult historical materials such as 'The Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Maybe you can really see some tricks!"
"If this is really the case, then this kid is really awesome. The things behind the Three Kingdoms are applicable even if they are applied to the current court!"
"That's true. I didn't expect there to be such a person in the Jia family!"
"So what, even if that kid has the ability to get involved in officialdom, you don't know what the Rongguo Mansion is like. It's hard for that kid to even take the imperial examination, and he has no hope of getting ahead. Otherwise, there is no need to write novels and stories to make money and improve his life.
!”
"Why, you old guy secretly checked that kid's background?"
"Don't say it so harshly, as if you haven't checked it out. It's so hypocritical!"
