Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 161 The Audience Is Extraordinary
But maybe Hui Mian thought that he hadn't achieved his original intention, but even though Zhuo Qing said such words, the sense of distance had already been unconsciously produced.

Being able to say these words easily with a smile already represents a kind of relief.

Although Yi Shuyuan who was sitting inside the teahouse was talking to Tan Yuanshang, he also heard what Zhuo Qing and Hui Mian said.

Unlike Hui Mian who was slightly distressed, Yi Shuyuan, who should have pretended not to notice, couldn't help looking in the direction of Zhuo Qing and Hui Mian when he heard this.

"Then it's settled, Mr. Yi, I'll wait for you at home! I'm leaving today!"

Tan Yuanshang happily bowed his hands to Yi Shuyuan again, and Yi Shuyuan returned to his senses and returned the gift.

"Master Tan, don't worry, Yi will definitely not break his promise."

"Hahahaha, okay, goodbye!"

It can be said that Tan Yuanshang was in a good mood. He smiled and led the servants out of the teahouse. When he went out, he also looked across the street. She was just an ordinary woman, so she didn't pay much attention.
-
In the afternoon of that day, after having lunch at home, Tan Yuanshang prepared his car and went directly to the palace.

There is no need to show any gold medals, just Tan Yuanshang's face and this name are enough for him to pass through various checkpoints and enter the depths of the palace.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Dayong was taking a nap, lying on a soft couch, with his head resting on the lap of his favorite concubine, who gently helped the emperor rub his forehead.

At this time, even the eunuch Zhang Liangxi retreated outside the curtain of the inner room.

But there was a little eunuch outside to report the matter, so Zhang Liangxi walked into the inner room with small steps and reported in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Tan is here."

The emperor opened his eyes, this time he did not shirk because of official duties.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

When Tan Yuanshang entered the imperial study with a smile on his face, the emperor had already sat up, pretending to be holding a book, and looked at the person coming when he heard footsteps.

"Caomin Tan Yuanshang has seen His Majesty!"

"Yuan Shang, there is no need to be polite between you and me!"

Tan Yuanshang put away his courtesy and smiled.

"Your Majesty thinks about the friendship with the grass-roots people. The grass-roots people naturally understand, but etiquette cannot be discarded!"

The emperor put down the book and asked a question with a relaxed expression.

"Come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You seem to be very happy. Do you have any good news for me?"

"Hey, Your Majesty knows me too! Your Majesty, do you still remember Caomin saying that His Majesty should listen to the book?"

The emperor was overjoyed, it was this matter again, but this kind of Tan Yuanshang was the Tan Yuanshang he knew. After so many years, many things had changed, but Tan Yuanshang could still say such things in such a tone.

Fortunately, he didn't listen to me to become an official.

This thought arose in the emperor's mind, and he replied with a smile.

"Forget it, it's not easy for you to come here again and again, I'll give you this face, when will you go to listen to the book?"

"Crack~"

Tan Yuanshang clapped his hands.

"Your Majesty, you are amazing! I invited the storyteller to give a lecture at my home several times, but no matter what method I used, I couldn't invite him. But today he agreed. It turned out that His Majesty wanted to hear it!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Tan Yuanshang was [-]% sincere and [-]% flattering, and the emperor couldn't help showing surprise when he heard it.

"And the storyteller that you, Mr. Tan, can't invite? He's so courageous!"

The emperor's words were also a joke. Tan Yuanshang knew the meaning of the words, so he took a few steps closer to elaborate.

"Your Majesty, what you don't know is that this storyteller is not ordinary. In front of him, the other storytellers in the city are just babbling, like young children repeating lessons from the book!"

The concubine sitting next to the emperor was also aroused of curiosity and couldn't help asking.

"Can there still be such a gap?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something, the gap will only be bigger than what Tan said!"

As he said that, Tan Yuanshang put the four books on the table. The emperor and concubines looked at them and found that "The God of the River Falls" was written on the cover.

Good guy, the four books are the complete version of Yi Shuyuan's "The God of the River Falling", even the afterword of this morning's talk, and I didn't forget to seal the book into a book.

"This person's surname is Yi. I don't know where his origin is. I only know that he used to be a storyteller in Mingzhou. At that time, he had already gained a lot of fame in Mingzhou City. People praised his storytelling ability as No. 16 in Mingzhou!"

Mingzhou Fifteen Jue is not small, it can be said that it is well-known, and a storyteller is known as the No.16 Jue, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the people present.

Tan Yuanshang didn't hold back anymore, and continued with a smile.

"This man's oral skills are outstanding, his talents are outstanding, and his whimsy and ideas are endless. Listening to his books is like being on the scene. It's like your majesty is sleepwalking in a book, borrowing a pen and paper."

With the emperor's approval, Tan Yuanshang took the pen and paper from the table and wrote four words on the corner of the table.

"Immediate sound?"

The emperor read it out, and Tan Yuanshang nodded.

"Cao Min gets goosebumps every time he hears it, as if seeing the mystery in the book with his own eyes in his mind. This person's skill is hard to beat among all the narrators in the past and present, and I can do it for everyone!"

"Is it really that powerful?"

The concubine couldn't help asking this question.

Tan Yuanshang nodded and said in a low voice.

"This person doesn't seem to be telling stories for fame and fortune, but just because of his interest. I promised many benefits, but he is still unmoved. Your Majesty, you know me. The benefits I promised are not just words. will show sincerity.”

"At the beginning, I went to Mingzhou to see the so-called No.16 Jue, but he had already left Mingzhou at that time. I thought to myself, it was probably an exaggeration, and he was demolished. Now I have to meet him in the capital. The words of knowing the Sixteen Absolutes are definitely not exaggerated!"

Speaking of which, Tan Yuanshang shook his head again "tsk tsk".

"Your Majesty, you absolutely can't think of why he agreed to Caomin's invitation. On the one hand, it is naturally because maybe God has a feeling that His Majesty will agree today, so this happened."

The emperor smiled.

"Stop flattering!"

"Yes, yes, hehe, on the other hand, this person doesn't mention gold and silver interests, but wants the grassroots to do a favor."

Tan Yuanshang put the pen back to its original position and said.

"He has a friend from the rivers and lakes. It seems that he has a relationship with a girl in the Yunxiang Pavilion on the thirteenth floor. He wants to redeem that girl's body, but that place is too sensitive and deeply involved."

"Although the storyteller did not agree to my invitation before, he must have understood that the grass people are not extraordinary people, so he asked me to help that girl escape from Shisanloufang and return to her good family."

The emperor nodded slightly after listening.

"It turns out that he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

"Your Majesty, when is it convenient for you?"

After being told by Tan Yuanshang, the emperor himself really became curious, and wanted to see for himself how powerful the storyteller was, so he replied.

"Before the imperial examination, it's convenient for me, you can choose the day as you like."

"Follow the order~~"

Tan Yuanshang hurriedly saluted loudly!

This made Zhang Liangxi, the great eunuch on one side, almost laugh, and at the same time, he was also feeling emotionally, Tan Gong is really indispensable by His Majesty's side.
-
In the evening two days later, Yi Shuyuan came to the Tan Mansion early.

Although he was mentally prepared, Yi Shuyuan was a little surprised by the size of the Tan Mansion.

This is the city of Chengtian Mansion where every inch of land is expensive. The Mo Mansion in Mingzhou was not small at the beginning, but it was just a normal big family, and the scale of the Mo Mansion is placed here in the Tan Mansion, at most it can only be regarded as a small part of the mansion. courtyard.

There are many pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the entire Tan Mansion, and there are far more than one rockery and flowing water. The buildings are high and low, and there are even special theaters and bookstores.

Tan Yuanshang entertained Yi Shuyuan as a guest of honor. The butler took Yi Shuyuan around and set a table for him alone.

After Yi Shuyuan was full of wine and food, Tan Yuanshang showed up.

It wasn't that Tan Yuanshang did it on purpose, he came back after going to the palace himself, and then found Yi Shuyuan who was walking in one of the gardens.

"Mr. Yi, the hospitality is not good. If you have any other requests, just ask!"

"Thank you, Mr. Tan, everything prepared by the family has already amazed Yi. When will we start?"

Yi Shuyuan stood by the pool, looking at the chubby fish in the pool, he couldn't help but think of Lu Yuwei, they stood here talking, and the fish gathered, as if they thought they were about to feed.

Tan Yuanshang laughed.

"Mr. Yi is waiting for a while. There are still distinguished guests at home. It is rare for Mr. to come to the book. If you miss this time, you don't know when you will be able to invite Mr. again."

"Listen to Master Tan's arrangement, Yi is not in a hurry!"

It's not just a matter of please do not move, Yi Shuyuan thought that maybe you can't even find me.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Yi, the matter of Yunxiang Pavilion is all right now, should I send someone there, or should I go with your friend and Miss Zhuo Qing?"

Yi Shuyuan saluted Tan Yuanshang solemnly.

"It's best to let Ms. Zhuo Qing go with her, so that she can get rid of her knots, otherwise she might think it's not true."

"Okay, let's arrange it like this!"

Tan Yuanshang is also willing to talk more with Yi Shuyuan, this storyteller is not only knowledgeable about storytelling.

The two chatted by the fish pond until a servant trotted over.

"Master, the distinguished guest is here!"

Tan Yuanshang was overjoyed, and looked at Yi Shuyuandao.

"Sir, you can prepare, we will start in a while!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, watched Tan Yuanshang and his servants leave quickly, then looked up at the sky, and then at the front yard of the mansion.

Ziqi rises into the sky, and it should shine on Ziwei Emperor Star, good guy, is it possible that the emperor is here tonight?
-
The attic in one of the courtyards of the Tan Mansion is full of guests at the moment.

Behind all kinds of eating tables, sat the family members of Tan Yuanshang's family, the emperor and several concubines who came out of the palace, and several princes and princesses who were not too old, who would meet with Tan Yuanshang from time to time. Let's have a fight.

Yi Shuyuan's storytelling tables and chairs are at one end of the pavilion, and seeing this battle, he was a little bit dumbfounded.

No one told Yi Shuyuan that the emperor was here, and he was called the second master, but there were many guards around him, both open and secret.

And there is another acquaintance, Zhang Liangxi, the great eunuch whom I met in Yuezhou. This father-in-law's martial arts may be one step away from Xiantian, and he is standing beside the emperor at this moment.

When Yi Shuyuan entered the hall, both the host and the guest looked at him, and he also bowed his hands in the direction of the host and guest, and then sat down safely, putting out his folding fan.

The emperor is also looking at the storyteller at the moment, he does have a bit of a good bearing, and the long gray hair is more colorful, but if he knows that he is facing the emperor and concubine, I don't know if he can still Take it easy?

"Second Master, can I start?"

Tan Yuanshang asked, the emperor nodded, and the latter looked at Yi Shuyuan.

"Mr. Yi, shall we begin?"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, slowly unfolded the folding fan in his hand, grabbed the foot ruler and gently dropped it on the table.

"Crack~"

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely refreshing. Some princes and princesses who were still whispering and the children of the Tan family were all taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the storytelling stand.

"I was invited today. It is my destiny to tell a book here. Thanks to everyone's appreciation, I will talk about "The Fall of the River God"!"

Yi Shuyuan's voice is very special, even if he hasn't used his ventriloquism, it still attracts some naughty children in the hall who dare not care about them.

When the "little girl in the book" cried out after covering their faces, all the guests felt nervous, and some light and dark guards subconsciously looked sideways.

The first part of offering sacrifices to the river god took more than half an hour under the condition that Yi Shuyuan controlled the rhythm well, and all the guests could not come out of the tense atmosphere for a long time after listening to it.

Yi Shuyuan drank tea to moisten his throat and rested for a while, and the emperor and others were also full of praise in the guest seats.

"Your Majesty, the grass people dare not deceive the king, are they really not lying?"

Tan Yuanshang asked the emperor in a low voice, and the latter nodded in agreement.

"This man's skills are indeed amazing, and the stories he tells are actually traceable. The worship of the river god in the middle reaches of the canal has existed since the time when Emperor Taizu was fighting for hegemony in the world. The habit of making sacrifices!"

The emperor said and looked at Tan Yuanshang.

"This person uses history as a guide to learn from the past and satirizes the present. The article has its own profound meaning. What he is talking about is not just making up myths."
