Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Chapter 231 Is it good to be on the job, or is it bad? (Fifth update)
Listen to Yunxuan.

The large logo on the back still reads "Hand in Hand, Gan Deyun!"

It's not unreasonable to think of it as Zhan Deyun.

Yang Yunsheng and Cao Yunjin clasped their hands in gratitude as they walked onto the stage.

Today they wore indigo blue gowns, exactly the same gowns Yang Yunsheng wore when he first came to Tingyunxuan to perform on stage.

I wonder how many of the original audience members are still in the audience today.

Yang Yunsheng and Cao Yunjin were standing in the middle of the stage, preparing to introduce themselves.

There were audience members in the audience, so they started shouting.

"Let's do a pose like on the cover!"

Yang Yunsheng smiled and said, "Hey, believe it or not, there really are some old viewers here. Let's have one!"

Cao Yunjin nodded and said, "One more if you want!"

Yang Yunsheng picked up the fan and spread his palm flat.

Cao Yunjin then gave a thumbs-up gesture from below the fan.

The two stood still for three seconds, and the audience below the stage began to cheer.

Yang Yunsheng began, “Alright, alright, let’s go on stage now. First, let me introduce myself. I’m Yang Yunsheng, a crosstalk performer from Tingyunxuan. I’m a beginner in the crosstalk world. The person standing next to me is someone you’re probably very familiar with. He’s the famous crosstalk performer and master, Mr. Guo Yunjin, a college student in the crosstalk world.”

Cao Yunjin grabbed Yang Yunsheng: "Wait a minute, Guo Yunjin, can you even speak properly! Cao, Cao Yunjin!"

Yang Yunsheng looked surprised: "You still have the character 'Yun' in your name? Wasn't it taken back? What, you couldn't get the 'Yun' back from Liu Yuntian, so you borrowed it from him at the last minute?"

The audience burst into laughter; it was just right, exactly the flavor they wanted.

Cao Yunjin retorted, "That makes sense. I can't take back the character 'Yun' from my name; it's mine. Besides, what did you mean when you said I was a college student? You're a primary school student, and I'm a college student? Does that mean I have a higher education than you?"

Yang Yunsheng shook his head: "No, when I said I was a primary school student, it meant I had reverence for crosstalk. When I said you were a university student, it meant you had no reverence for crosstalk!"

The audience erupted in laughter again. How come every word Yang Yunsheng uttered was like a knife?

Why does this knife keep stabbing Cao Yunjin in the heart?
Guo Degang often says that he is a primary school student in the world of crosstalk, and that Cao Yunjin has no respect for crosstalk.

Okay, it matches up, it matches up perfectly.

Every sentence seems to mention Deyun Society, yet every sentence seems to mention Deyun Society.

Cao Yunjin was quite embarrassed by Yang Yunsheng's few words.

He never expected Yang Yunsheng to be so ruthless, stabbing him in the back right away!

Cao Yunjin chuckled twice and said, "You're right. You have the character 'Yun' in your name, so you're right!"

The audience laughed again; these two are definitely more interesting.

Cao Yunjin also launched a counterattack, saying that it was just online that the character "Yun" in Yang Yunsheng's name was also given to her by Guo Degang!
Now Cao Yunjin is directly implying that the "Yun" in Yang Yunsheng's name is of dubious origin!
Yang Yunsheng was naturally not angry, nor did he blush.

He addressed the audience, saying, "Today, Mr. Cao and I are not here to perform crosstalk!"

Cao Yunjin was taken aback because the two of them hadn't gone over the script, so he didn't know what Yang Yunsheng was going to do.

The audience was also puzzled: if they weren't going to come up and perform crosstalk, then what were they going to do?
Cao Yunjin then said, "Aren't we going to do crosstalk today?"

Yang Yunsheng replied, "That's right. Today, I've collected all the questions that the audience wants to ask Teacher Cao, and I'll ask them on behalf of the audience!"

The audience cheered again, knowing Yang Yunsheng was about to pull off another performance. But Cao Yunjin thought to herself, "This wasn't something you just wrote backstage; when did it become a matter of the audience writing it?"

For a moment, Cao Yunjin felt a vague unease, as if Yang Yunsheng was about to do something big to her.

Yang Yunsheng took out a stack of cards from his pocket and began to read them.

"This was written by an audience member from out of town. He said, 'Jinzi, I came all the way from Luoyang to see your performance. I went to the Chinese Character Museum first and discovered that the character 'Yun' existed in oracle bone script as early as the Yin and Shang dynasties!'"

Before Yang Yunsheng could finish speaking, the audience was already laughing so hard they were doubled over.

They already knew what Yang Yunsheng was going to say next.

Cao Yunjin laughed so hard that she squatted down under the table.

Yang Yunsheng continued, "Use the character 'Yun' boldly!"

After he finished reading, the audience was still laughing when Yang Yunsheng said, "Teacher Cao, Teacher Cao, why did you squat down!"

Cao Yunjin stood up, one hand on her waist, the other leaning against the table.

He said, "Don't worry, I'll use it boldly!"

After reading the first card, Yang Yunsheng began reading the second card.

"This was sent to me by an audience member when you did a commercial performance a couple of days ago. He said, 'Jinzi, after watching your performance the other day, the boss thought I was going to go solo!'"

The audience began to gasp, and Cao Yunjin stood with her hands on her hips, looking both amused and exasperated.

"Screw you!"

Yang Yunsheng said, "This is from an audience member in the audience. He just gave it to me backstage. He asked, 'Jinzi, I want to ask my boss for a raise, but I don't want to write six thousand words. What should I do?'"

The audience was already laughing so hard their stomachs hurt, but Cao Yunjin couldn't hold back this time.

Cao Yunjin said, "Just take a picture of me and send it to your boss, and he'll know. You're welcome!"

The audience applauded, and the ability to make fun of oneself is a kind of art.

Yang Yunsheng became serious and exclaimed "Oh dear!"

"This next one is really something. It's a missing person notice, so everyone should listen carefully. It says a child is missing. The description is: slicked-back hair, crow's nose, 1.8 meters tall, born in the Year of the Ox, 27 years old, Aquarius, blood type O. If you see him, please come to Dashilan, Xicheng District!"

The audience continued to laugh heartily. This missing person notice must have been written by Lao Guo!
Cao Yunjin snatched the card from Yang Yunsheng's hand and tore it up.

He quickly said, "Then let's not read it!"

At this moment, Cao Yunjin's face had already turned red.

He looked at the audience and said with dissatisfaction, "This is too much! They actually said Liu Yuntian is your son!"

Liu Yuntian stood backstage, looking utterly bewildered.

These two always manage to drag me into their comedy routines. What did I ever do to deserve this?!
Yang Yunsheng looked at the card and read aloud, "Hello, Teacher Cao. I was on official business in Yanggu County, Liaocheng, Shandong one day. Look, this is for opening a book, and the writing is so elegant!"

Cao Yunjin nodded: "It's a business trip!"

Yang Yunsheng continued, "One day, while on official business in Yanggu County, Liaocheng, Shandong, I came across the Jingyanggang Hotel. I drank some wine and became quite drunk. The lobby manager stopped me and advised me not to cross the post after drinking. However, I was in a hurry to get on my way, so I'll ask you again, do you think it's better for me to cross the post, or..."

The audience couldn't hold back any longer. Was Yang Yunsheng sent by heaven to punish Cao Yunjin?

Cao Yunjin didn't realize anything was wrong at first; the next line after "having a good job" was "having a bad job"!
How am I supposed to answer that?

Cao Yunjin glared fiercely at Yang Yunsheng, who was now truly red-faced!
