After having money, it is inevitable to spend money on a meal. Zhao Kai, who had been eating and sleeping in the open all this time, felt that he had lost a lot of weight, so he had to have a good meal.
The busiest place in the world is the restaurant. In Tai'an City, medium-sized restaurants generally have storytellers, and the higher-end restaurants have oirans who sing, dance, and play the piano.
Zhao Kai specially found a restaurant with a storyteller. Storytelling is like cross talk in modern society. It is very popular among people. No matter they are dignitaries or ordinary people, they all like to listen to books. Most of the gossip news that ordinary people can know is
Rumors spread through the storyteller's mouth. It can be said that the rumors are all based on the storyteller's mouth. Generally speaking, restaurants with storytellers have more customers, second only to Fengyue Restaurant.
After choosing a good seat and sitting down, Zhao Kai listened quietly.
I saw the storyteller chattering endlessly:
"Today we are going to talk about Northern Liang King Xu Xiao. It is said that this Northern Liang King is brave and good at fighting. He has made great military exploits and became the first king of a different surname in our Liyang Dynasty. He is not only the leader of civil servants, but also the leader of military generals.
The majestic figure swallows mountains and rivers with anger..."
Zhao Kai listened with great interest and clapped his hands from time to time. This storyteller really had two brushes and told the story as vividly as if he had seen it with his own eyes with just one mouth.
"Although this Xu Xiao is a great hero, the sons he gave birth to are not very good. It is said that Xu Xiao has two sons and two daughters, which is enviable. It is said that this Xu Fengnian is a well-known playboy. He is ignorant and has no skills.
He flirts with beauties, and those he falls in love with cannot escape his clutches. I heard that he even built a specially built Wutong Garden, where all the beauties are first-rate..."
I don't know if the storyteller is envious or jealous, his mouth is about to drool. Xu Fengnian's reputation is indeed not very good. His reputation as a playboy is known all over the world. This has also caused almost all Liyang students to hate him.
Probably it is the same as the hatred of the rich in later generations.
Everyone hates Xu Fengnian, but everyone wants to be Xu Fengnian. Zhao Kai can't help but sigh, how ignorant the world is, what you see may not necessarily be true, let alone hearsay. These people are like the keyboard warriors of later generations, knowing nothing.
He started to blindly follow the trend, but this is what Xu Fengnian hopes to see.
"The son of King Beiliang is not very good, but his second daughter is a very talented woman. Who says women are inferior to men, but Xu Weixiong is an amazing woman.
It is said that as soon as the two princesses of Beiliang entered the Taiyin Academy, they overwhelmed the young talents in the academy. Whether it was martial arts attainments, poetry and songs, or popularity among the public, they were all top-notch.
His existence. He even created his own nineteen moves in Go, which shocked the world. Han Guzi and Han Dajia even accepted him as a closed disciple, and their popularity was unparalleled for a while~~~~~ However, this Shangyin Academy is worthy of being a sacred place in the literary world, where hidden dragons and crouching tigers
, the second princess's chess skills have reached the peak. Even the Han Guzi King Jijiu and his ilk are no match for her, but she lost to an unknown man in the academy. It is really a strange thing~~~~~
"
"Oh? Who is that student? He has such chess skills?" Zhao Kai in the crowd couldn't help but asked, "You have already mentioned this, so do I want to praise you?"
"I don't know about this little old man. It is said that he is also a great young talent in the Academy. He must be a disciple of a famous teacher. Otherwise, how could he have such chess skills?"
Then the storyteller said:
"I recently heard that the second princess got a painting. It is said that the painting was accidentally seen by a teacher. Who would have thought that the teacher was distracted by the painting just at a glance. He didn't think about food or food all day long, unless he asked for it.
After the second princess gave the painting to him, Wang Jijiu even evaluated the painting as the best in the world.
Someone once offered one hundred thousand taels of silver just to get this painting, but the princess refused without hesitation. It is really worth a lot of money, even compared to the talisman of Xi Chu. It is said that this painting is from heaven.
It was formed when the fairy entered the painting. I would say it should be a witch, otherwise how could it seduce the soul?"
The storyteller's words caused the audience to question one after another.
"Of course this is an exaggeration, but I don't know who the person in the painting is. If this person really exists, he is probably at the top of the rouge list. According to rumors, the princess does not like men and likes women.
, the person in the painting is exactly her sweetheart, and she was left in the painting because she couldn't get it. Otherwise, how could she not exchange for ten thousand taels of silver? That's one hundred thousand taels of silver, and if it were exchanged for gold, it would be ten thousand taels.
"
puff!
The storyteller's words made Zhao Kai couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth, and then he burst into laughter as if no one was watching, and he didn't recover for a long time.
If Xu Weixiong hears this, he will definitely pick up his sword and kill the storyteller without hesitation. Zhao Kai may also suffer. Who asked him to turn the beauty settings too high, so that no one saw the painting?
One person recognized that the person in the painting was Xu Weixiong herself. Maybe even Xu Weixiong himself was embarrassed to admit that the person in the painting was her.
"It is said that the poems in the painting are enough to be passed down through the ages, but I don't know who wrote them..."
Zhao Kai stayed in the restaurant all afternoon. It wasn't until the storyteller took a break that he reluctantly left.
Tai'an City not only has many literati, but also many chivalrous people in green shirts and swords. You can often see some famous warriors competing in martial arts, but most of these are third- and fourth-grade warriors, and even the second-grade little grandmaster
It's rare, and the moves used are not very clever, and most of them are just a lot of polite words, and it's over after a while. There's really nothing interesting to see. In Zhao Kai's words, it's not as interesting as listening to someone say it.
Woolen cloth.
After listening to the book, the next step was to listen to the opera. I have to say that although the opera had a different flavor, Zhao Kai still found it less interesting than listening to the book. Maybe it was because he had listened to too many songs in his previous life and was a little tired of his aesthetics.
For this kind of romantic restaurant, if Zhao Kai manages it, it will definitely become the best in the world. After all, modern people know much more about this aspect of enjoyment than ancient people.
It was already night after Zhao Kai came out of the restaurant.
It can be said that Tai'an City is the most lively at night. It is autumn, and most of the scholars in the world have gathered here, all dreaming of being able to leap over the Dragon Gate.
Most of these scholars who call themselves romantic talents like to hang out in romantic places. Of course, most of the romantic places here are mainly for listening to music and watching dances. Most of the famous oirans are still entertainers but not prostitutes. Of course, it may be that the price is not enough, or the wait is
What a fool. In this capital, it is common for high school talents to marry oirans every year.
In Tai'an City, there are numerous literati poetry gatherings, large and small, among which the most prestigious one is undoubtedly the poetry gathering upstairs in Zhuangyuan Building. Those who come here are all famous talents, such as Li Xian, the most famous poet in the dynasty.
Fu Jian, poet and poet Song Qimen, etc., are all well-known talents among the younger generation. Even Shangyin Academy has many famous people participating in it.
It's a rare trip to Tai'an City, so you can't miss such a grand occasion. Zhao Kai walked slowly towards the Zhuangyuan Building, still holding the freshly baked skewers in his hand. While eating, he sighed that it would be nice if there were chili peppers.
Thinking of meeting an old acquaintance as soon as I arrived at the entrance of Zhuangyuan Building,
"Hey, isn't this Brother Liang? We really meet each other everywhere in life, what are you doing here? Have you eaten? I have freshly baked lamb here, and the boss said it was sheep from Liangliao.
