Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 654 Green Maple Theater (Please Subscribe!)
Although the wind is going smoothly, after all, it also offsets part of the retrograde water flow, and the speed of the boat is still incomparable with the speed of sailing along the current.

The boat sailed up the Yunling River for nearly half a day, and finally arrived at the Jinling Wharf at noon!
Standing on the deck, watching the crowds on the pier, and feeling the cultural scenery different from Yunxi City, Zhang Twelve couldn't help shouting loudly: "Jinling, I'm back!"

"…………"

As soon as these words came out, the pedestrians on the boat and the pier under the boat were shocked.

After a few seconds of silence, everyone who had reacted turned around to look at Zhang Twelve, and then they all complained very dissatisfied.

"I'm sick, what are you calling?"

"It's hard to say, there are too many sick people now!"

"This shout is too frightening. I just suffocated my urine and almost scared me out!"

"&$..."

When those people on the boat saw this scene, they couldn't help but take a breath, thinking that this guy really has some brain problems, luckily he didn't mess with him just now, otherwise the result might be worse than Wu De...

And Zhang Twelve didn't care about the thoughts of these people at all. It is conceivable how excited he was when he returned to Datang again.

Now he can't wait to fly back to Zhang's house and enjoy the joy of reunion with his relatives. Thinking of this, he took Mo Li's hand and quickly got off the boat...

………………

Jinling is originally located in a prosperous place, and it is connected to Jingzhou and Quzhou in the north, and Yunxi in the south. The transportation is very convenient, and there are many pedestrians on the wharf every day.

At this time, several passenger ships arrived at the same time, not only Zhang Twelve and the others from Yunxi, but also many passenger ships from the north, so just after getting off the ship, the pier was full of pedestrians. Somewhat crowded.

"Brother Yu, hurry up!"

At this time, a thick and powerful man's voice came from behind Zhang Twelve, who were tall and strong young men.

"Why are you so anxious, Da Zhuang! You look like a bumpkin in a hurry! It's your first time in Jinling, but I'm not! I know this much better than you, so just follow me!"

At this time, a man with a goatee came up slowly from behind the man. He looked older than the one in front of him, and he seemed to be educating people when he opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve couldn't help but look sideways slightly, feeling a sense of intimacy.

Jinling is located in the south of the Tang Dynasty. Since passing Dianyang and going south, the accent of the people here has strong southern characteristics, which is quite different from the accent of the northerners.

The accents of the two people who spoke just now are obviously Jingzhou accents. After all, Zhang Twelve stayed there for half a year. At that time, he was in contact with Jingzhou people every day, so he was quite familiar with it.

Zhang Twelve turned his head to look at Mo Li, and then made a mouth shape.

"From Jingzhou?"

Mo Li nodded.

Compared with Zhang Twelve, she is an out-and-out Jingzhou native, so the accents of those two people are easy for her to distinguish.

Just as they were communicating, the two men started talking again.

The young man called Da Zhuang looked up at the sky, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Brother Yu, the boat is going a little slow today! Look, how long has it been since noon?" , if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we will miss the performance at the Twelve Theater!"

………………

A few months ago, because Zhang Twelve had an accident, Zhang Guogong was dismissed, so the entire Zhang family came to Jinling, and the "Twelve Restaurant" and "Twelve Theater" in Jingzhou City were also owned by the Zhang family, so a And they all moved over.

For the people of Jingzhou City, this is a huge loss. In the past, they were still looking forward to waking up every night to go to the Twelve Theater to watch a play.

But since the Twelve Theater moved away, their spiritual life suddenly became blank. For them, it was really unacceptable for a while.

However, I have to accept it!
Later, they heard that after the Zhang family came to settle in Jinling, "Twelve Restaurant" and "Twelve Theater" reopened in Jinling. When they heard the news, they had mixed feelings.

I am not happy, but I am also happy. After all, this shows that the Twelve Theater has not disappeared, but just changed places. Those stories that they have not heard or finished before, one day, they will have the opportunity to continue!
But if you say happy words, you really don't feel very happy in your heart!

No matter what era, regional disputes have always existed, and this era is especially obvious, especially the dispute between the North and the South, and the dispute between the two cities of Jingzhou and Jinling.

The original Jinling was located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a flourishing style of writing, and produced many masters of poetry and calligraphy. This is also a place where the people of Jinling are proud of. Therefore, they look down on the people of Jingzhou, thinking that they have the advantage of occupying the imperial city. What can compare with them?

The Jingzhou people were even more unconvinced, thinking that they were located at the foot of the imperial city, the capital of the emperor, and they were a head above the outsiders. How dare Jinling people look down on themselves?

Isn't it just that poetry and calligraphy are better than them? However, this is also the eternal pain of Jingzhou people, but the fact is there, and they have to accept it if they don't want to accept it.

But when Zhang Twelve went to Jingzhou, everything changed.

Zhang Twelve not only has superb attainments in poetry and calligraphy, but even the two poets and calligraphers are impressed by him. He even founded the Twelve Theater, which not only enriched the spare time life of Jingzhou people, but also created an unprecedented culture. Prosperity!

In the past, many scholars in the north wanted to go to Jinling to collect folk songs, but now the situation is just the opposite. No Jingzhou people are proud of going to Jinling anymore. On the contrary, Jinling people flock to Jingzhou. They often come to Jingzhou City and go to the Twelve Theater to watch plays. !
Whenever seeing the satisfied and shocked appearance of Jinling people walking out of the theater, the people of Jingzhou feel so satisfied!

Hehe, I like to see the way you make a fuss!

For the first time, the people of Jingzhou straightened their backs in front of Jinling people, and they could pat their chests and say to them: "Our Jingzhou is not a little better than your Jinling!"

Not only did they ridicule them, what made them even happier was that even if the group of Jinling people were ridiculed, they were speechless. This is the most intuitive expression of soft power and toughness!

However, following Zhang Twelve's accident in Jinling a few months ago, the Zhang family left, the Twelve Theater left, and the cultural prosperity of Jingzhou City was gone forever.

What makes Jingzhou people even more uncomfortable is that the Twelve Theater actually went to Jinling. What is the difference between this and surrendering to the enemy?
The departure of the Twelve Theater has caused Jingzhou's entertainment activities to plummet, and the Twelve Theater has gone to their direct competitor, which is even worse. Jingzhou people can't hold their heads up in front of Jinling people!
………………

Because of this, Jingzhou people are somewhat dissatisfied with Twelve Theater.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, they are still extremely honest in their hearts, and they especially hope to take another look at those scenes that have not been finished. Some stories have been watched for more than half, but they can’t see them when they are about to end. This kind of urgent mood, I’m afraid Most people are deeply touched!

And Da Zhuang is one of these people!
Ever since Twelve Theater came to Jinling, Da Zhuang has been thinking about the end of the monkey like crazy!

In his opinion, although the monkey converted to Buddhism, maybe it was forced by the situation!It was just a stopgap measure for him to follow the monk, slowly accumulating strength, and when he was finally ready, he would launch a surprise attack and catch Tathagata by surprise!
Hehe, the Tathagata abused the monkey thousands of times, so the monkey naturally couldn't treat him like first love!
In Da Zhuang's heart, Monkey must destroy Tathagata before he can relieve his hatred—no, it is the hatred that Monkey has been suppressed for 500 years!
But it’s not enough to rely on his own thinking, it’s imagination at best, and it’s YY at worst, so he dreams of coming to Jinling to hear and see the ending about monkeys in the Twelve Theater!

And his cousin's cousin had business in Jinling and often went in and out of Jinling, so Da Zhuang begged Tang to take him to Jinling. No, as soon as he got off the boat, Da Zhuang was impatient to go to the theater!
Who knows, after hearing his words, his cousin smiled disdainfully, and then said: "Da Zhuang, what are you worried about following cousin? Can cousin make you suffer?"

"But…………"

It's not that Da Zhuang doesn't believe his cousin, but that he is obsessed with the story of the Twelve Theater, and now he can't wait to fly to the theater!

"But what is it! My cousin has come to Jinling more times than any girl you have ever met. You still can't trust my cousin?"

Hearing this, Da Zhuang's face turned red slightly. He had met two or three girls when he was an adult, and they all said that he was full of messy thoughts and was not stable at all, so they ignored him.

The same goes for my cousin, why not mention this?How embarrassing!
And his cousin didn't care what Da Zhuang thought, and continued: "Da Zhuang, you haven't been to Jinling, maybe you don't know yet, the Twelve Theater might not be popular when it was in Jingzhou, but in Jinling, there are already some Can’t sell tickets anymore!”

"how can that be?"

Da Zhuang said in surprise with a disbelieving expression on his face.

When the Twelve Theater was in Jingzhou, many outsiders flocked to it, and they all clapped their hands after traveling thousands of miles to listen to it. Now that it is in Jinling, why can’t it work?
His cousin patted Da Zhuang on the shoulder with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Da Zhuang, you are still too young! Jinling is no better than Jingzhou. The Twelve Theater is popular in Jingzhou, so it may not be popular in Jinling!"

Cleared his throat, and then continued: "Besides the Twelve Theater, a local theater in Jinling also opened, called Qingfeng Theater! Do you know who opened this Qingfeng Theater?"

"Who?"

Da Zhuang shook his head and opened his mouth to ask.

"That is the largest grain farm in Jinling, Zhao Qingfeng, the young owner of the Zhao family's grain farm! And to tell you the truth, behind this Qingfeng theater is not only Mr. Zhao who is in charge, but also Prince Kang's son and the eldest son Sui Yuxuan who is guarding Jinling! Now, do you understand?"

I thought that what I said was clear enough, Da Zhuang should understand!
But he overestimated Da Zhuang's comprehension ability, or overestimated his own ability to explain. Da Zhuang nodded blankly at first, and then shook his head vigorously!
"Cousin, everyone can see how good the acting in the Twelve Theater is, so what if the Qingfeng Theater belongs to Prince Kang or Mr. Zhao? Without a good story, without a good gentleman, there can't be a good show. What can we do with the Twelve Theater?" Compare?"

What Da Zhuang said is well-founded, and the most important thing is that he is from Jingzhou, and in his perception, even if the Twelve Theater comes to Jinling, it is still from Jingzhou. How can Jinling local theater be defeated? ?

The cousin heard this, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, you are still too young!"

Then he pointed to the land under their feet and said to Da Zhuang: "This is Jinling, not Jingzhou!
When he was in Jingzhou, Zhang Guogong was still in power, Zhang Xianbo was also in the limelight, who would dare to provoke the Zhang family?The Twelve Theater is naturally incomparable!

But now?
Zhang Xianbo died, and Zhang Guogong was dismissed from office, saying that he came to Jinling to settle down. What is the difference between exile and exile?
The current Twelve Theater is just run by ordinary people, how can it be compared with the local theaters with background?
And I also heard that many gentlemen from Jingzhou sneaked from Twelve Theater to Qingfeng Theater, and the play they went to Qingfeng Theater was performed in Twelve Theater in Jingzhou before! "

"How can this be? Despicable! Shameless!"

After hearing this, Da Zhuang yelled out angrily.

"Isn't this just stealing other people's things? Why didn't Twelve Theater sue them?"

"Ha ha…………"

The cousin took a look at Da Zhuang, and thought that his younger brother was too simple and naive!
"Sue? What should I sue? A son of Jinling guard and prefect's family, a son of Kang Wang, and a son of Jinling's largest grain farmer. The Twelve Theater has no background now. What should I sue? How should I sue? Even sue , can you win?"

After hearing this, Da Zhuang stopped talking.

He wasn't really stupid, he was just out of anger, that's why he said that. After thinking about it carefully, the Twelve Theater really had no chance of winning, but he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied in his heart. Anyone else want to watch it?"

"How not?"

Hearing this, my cousin couldn't help laughing: "People in Jingzhou are familiar with the operas in the Twelve Theater, but how many people in Jinling have heard of them?

So don't look at the old plays that we are tired of watching in Qingfeng Theater, but there is a market in Jinling! "

When Da Zhuang heard this, he fell silent again.

Yes, the plays and stories told in the Twelve Theater are well-known in Jingzhou. Even if you haven’t been to the Twelve Theater in person, you are familiar with it from other people’s stories.

But Jinling is no better than Jingzhou. Not many people in Jinling know about the things that are widely spread in Jingzhou, so even if it is an old play, Qingfeng Theater is also popular!
