Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 181 So you're criticizing me today? (Fifth update)

Seeing this, Yang Yunsheng couldn't help but smile: "You may not know Teacher Yan Hexiang. He's my junior brother!"

The audience was stunned. Really?

Did we overhear some incredible secret this time?

Most importantly, Yang Yunsheng is also Guo Degang's apprentice.

No wonder it has the character "Yun" in it; it turns out she really is Guo Degang's apprentice.

It seems that when Lao Guo brought out the family tree, he not only removed the character "Yun" from Yang Yunsheng's name, but also removed Yang Yunsheng himself.

However, some people in the audience knew that Yang Yunsheng's master was the one who had criticized Guo Degang on Weibo a few days ago, and that Yang Yunsheng was not Guo Degang's apprentice.

Yan Hexiang also said, "Yes, Yang Yunsheng is indeed my senior brother in terms of the number of years he has been learning crosstalk!"

The audience realized it was the year!
I almost thought Yang Yunsheng was really Guo Degang's apprentice.

Damn it, I actually believed this guy's nonsense again.

Yang Yunsheng patted Yan Hexiang on the shoulder and said, "This is Yan Hexiang, the corpse brother. He loved to perform crosstalk when he was alive!"

Yan Hexiang turned to look at Yang Yunsheng and quickly interrupted, "No, what do you mean I loved performing crosstalk when I was alive? I still love performing crosstalk now!"

Yan Hexiang quickly realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute, how come it's about before death? The corpse you just mentioned, is it the corpse?"

The audience started laughing; it turned out to be this "corpse brother."

However, Tingyunxuan doesn't have that rule. Do they deduct money for using puns?

If we don't deduct money, everyone will start slacking off.

Yang Yunsheng shrugged and asked, "Isn't that right?"

Yan Hexiang said indignantly, "Of course not! It's the 'Shi' in 'Shi Xiong' (sworn brother), not the 'Shi' in 'Shi Ji' (corpse). I'm not dead yet!"

Yang Yunsheng said impatiently, "Oh, it doesn't matter, don't be so petty. After all, your master is the one who wrote seven thousand words, and my master is the one who wrote seven thousand words for your master and who scolded your master!"

The audience thought to themselves, "So you're reciting a tongue twister!"

But can you please not beat around the bush? It's such a simple thing, everyone understands it, and everyone likes to gossip on Weibo.

And the watermelons they bought were the kind that had been injected with water.

Yan Hexiang said, "No, let's just stick to crosstalk and not talk about six or seven thousand words. That's all in the past. Can't we still be harmonious and friendly?"

Yang Yunsheng said, "I understand. Everyone knows Teacher Yan Hexiang very well. He is no longer a crosstalk performer."

Yan Hexiang was a little confused, and so was the audience.

What is he planning to do? Is he going to cause trouble again?

Yan Hexiang licked his lips and asked curiously, "I'm not a crosstalk performer anymore. Just because of those seven thousand words, are you going to fire me on behalf of Tingyunxuan?"

Yang Yunsheng was also taken aback. This sentence wasn't there when they were talking before. Yan Hexiang is really something, always liking to come up with random things on the spot.

If it weren't for him, could an ordinary person have taken over?
Yang Yunsheng shook his head and said, "Everyone, don't misunderstand. Teacher Yan wasn't expelled from Tingyunxuan. He's now in politics. You all didn't know that, did you? He's now in charge of all the big and small affairs of Tingyunxuan. Cao Yunjin trusts him a lot. We, the friends in Tingyunxuan, affectionately call him the Grand Steward!"

The audience laughed. "Grand Eunuch, you're a eunuch, aren't you?"
Yan Hexiang quickly waved his hand and said, "There are no words 'Grand Inner Palace' in the title. Just 'Chief Steward.' Cao Yunjin thought I was much better than some people who do nothing all day and can't even perform a few shows a month, so he gave me this position!"

Alright, here comes the aggressive straight man again. Who's been idling around?
So you're trying to be smug, huh? If you're so capable, why don't you stay after the party's over? If you're so capable, why don't you drive a Honda?

You're amazing, absolutely amazing.

Yang Yunsheng clicked his tongue twice and said, "Look everyone, his status is different now. He can even talk back to me. I'm worried that whether I can perform on stage in the future will depend entirely on his mood. He has so much power now that he's lawless. Won't he rebel in the future?"

Yan Hexiang frowned and said, "What exactly are you envious of? If you performed a few more shows every week and didn't dive every day, I could give you my spot."

The audience echoed this sentiment, hoping that Yang Yunsheng would perform more shows.

But they had absolutely no idea who Yang Yunsheng was.

It only takes a few minutes, just a few hundred dollars.

Can someone like that be considered an ordinary person?

Yang Yunsheng said, "Actually, I'm not particularly envious. After all, I know what you've sacrificed. To be able to achieve this level at Tingyunxuan is truly a position above everyone else!"

The audience didn't understand whether it was a slip of the tongue or a joke.
After all, these words came from Yang Yunsheng's mouth, and they really didn't believe that Yang Yunsheng could eat steamed buns.

There is a high probability that Yang Yunsheng is up to his old tricks again.

Yan Hexiang patted Yang Yunsheng's arm and, like the audience, asked in confusion, "What does 'above one person, below ten thousand' mean? It means 'below one person, above ten thousand'!"

Yang Yunsheng clicked his tongue twice, pointed at Yan Hexiang, and looked at the audience.

"Dear viewers, did you hear that? He said it himself: 'Second only to the emperor, above all others.' His status is incredible now!"

The audience understood; Yang Yunsheng had done it on purpose.

Could this be a feud, expressing Yang Yunsheng's dissatisfaction with Tingyunxuan?

After all, Cao Yunjin and Yang Yunsheng now have roughly the same level of influence at Tingyunxuan.

Cao Yunjin promoted Yang Yunsheng's partner to the position of general manager. What was she thinking? It's simply baffling.

However, as Yan Hexiang's partner, and with Yan Hexiang now holding a high position of power, it should be a good thing for Yang Yunsheng!
Even if he doesn't have perfect attendance, no one will say anything to him!
So, others may be dissatisfied, but his dissatisfaction is also unreasonable.

It was his own decision not to perform; it wasn't that Yan Hexiang forbade him to perform.

Another one is Yang Yunsheng, who always likes to run around.

They either act in stage plays or TV dramas.

Yan Hexiang got promoted but he didn't, so he really has no one to blame but himself.

Yan Hexiang quickly explained, "Regarding my promotion, I have to thank Cao Yunjin for his trust in me, and I will certainly not let him down!"

Yang Yunsheng gave a meaningful "oh": "So you mean that no one else in Tingyunxuan is trustworthy to Cao Yunjin? Take Liu Yuntian for example, he's Cao Yunjin's partner, and he's been working diligently and tirelessly for so long. Isn't he trustworthy?"

The audience thought it made sense, very much so.

Is Liu Yuntian untrustworthy?
Yan Hexiang was also a bit dumbfounded: "No, who said Liu Yuntian is not trustworthy?"

Yang Yunsheng continued, "Don't forget that Tingyunxuan also has Teacher Li Jing and Senior Brother He Yunwei. They are both very dedicated. Are they not trustworthy?"

Yan Hexiang chuckled twice and said, "I understand, you're going to criticize me today, right?"
