The Yuexian Building was already crowded with people, and the guests were all looking forward to the start of the competition, but Yang’s mother would never let go of this opportunity to make money. In order to extend the time, she arranged several small programs in a row, and they also called it to create a competition atmosphere.
.
However, it is June now, and even though it is still morning, the weather is still hot and hot, and with so many people crowded together, many people are already sweating profusely.
Of course, Tang Ji, who was sitting in the stands on the second floor, didn't have to worry about this problem at all, because the servants of Prince You's Mansion had already surrounded the stand that Li Yu had packed with ice cubes, and also arranged for maids to fan themselves.
Tang Ji took a sip of herbal tea, popped a grape into his mouth, and asked the maid behind him: "Where is your prince?"
"For the record, Mr. Tang, the prince had a bad stomach last night and will come over later," the maid explained.
Tang Ji shook his head speechlessly. He had eaten a lot of cold things these days, and even put ice cubes in boiled water. He would only have a bad stomach if he didn't eat. I hope he can remember this for a long time.
Not long after, Li Yu finally rushed over out of breath. Without thinking, he sat down on the soft cushion, picked up the ice water on the table and poured it into his mouth. He did not forget to complain: "It doesn't taste at all, it's better to have fruit tea."
drink."
Tang Ji spread his hands, it seemed that this guy was completely hopeless.
After Li Yu felt the coolness, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, grabbed Tang Ji's arm anxiously, and said, "I just passed by a hook bar, and the story of "Journey to the West" was being told inside!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji frowned slightly, showing doubt: "Did you spread the story?"
"I don't have time... Oh, don't interrupt. Listen to me. The "Journey to the West" in the column is completely different from what you said, and it's wrong. The beginning is the same, but the rest is totally wrong. Let me ask.
After a while, this story is being told by more than one Gouban. It is estimated that someone has continued what you said in the teahouse last time and made random changes." Li Yu explained.
Tang Ji looked indifferent and replied: "How did you change it?"
"Let me tell you a few..."
Soon, Li Yu relayed to him the story he heard from the storyteller not long ago.
Tang Ji was shocked after hearing this. Except that the previous content of Gao Laozhuang was in line with the original version, the rest was simply a magical modification. Even Sha Monk didn't come out, and the monkey even made a little monkey with the goblin.
His grandma’s is just bullshit!
If this continues, the Four Great Masterpieces of later generations will probably become the Three Great Masterpieces!
After pondering for a while, Tang Ji decided to spread the genuine content after the competition was over.
Just when Li Yu wanted to continue asking, Li Xian came over with a fan in hand and said with a smile: "Ah, the emperor brother is still enjoying it, where did you get so many ice cubes? It's almost as good as hiding ice in the palace.
"
"What are you here for?" Li Yu's face suddenly darkened.
Li Xian didn't reply, and turned to look at Tang Ji: "You are so outrageous, why don't you bow to me when you see me? Why don't you get up quickly?"
Before Tang Ji could make a move, Li Yu took the lead, patted the table, and said angrily: "Li Xian, I've reserved this stand. If you can't stay here, get out!"
Then, he raised his eyebrows at Tang Ji, indicating that the latter should ignore it.
Li Xian suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Tang Ji with some curiosity. He couldn't figure out what was worthy of Li Yu's protection in Tang Ji. He planned to investigate when he went back.
He opened the fan and fanned it twice, then sat down on the seats on both sides: "Forget it, it's such a hot day, I'd better stay here with the emperor to cool off."
After saying that, Li Xian picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, then turned his attention to the stage downstairs.
Not long after, Jiang Ran and Luo Qingqing went downstairs one after another.
The folk art competition that everyone had been waiting for finally kicked off. Mother Yang lifted her pants, twisted her waist and walked onto the stage. She looked at the guests around and said with a smile: "Ah, thank you all for taking the time to take your busy schedule...
.”
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and let's get started!" The guests in the audience had become impatient and directly interrupted the polite opening remarks.
Mother Yang coughed twice in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It seems that you gentlemen can't wait any longer. Before the art competition begins, I would like to introduce to you the judge of this competition. We are fortunate to have Chen Jizhong, who is known as 'Mr. Suqin'"
Mr. Chen!”
Immediately, everyone in the building followed the direction of Yang's mother's finger and looked at Professor Chen who was sitting on the high platform drinking tea.
Some well-informed students and scholars reacted immediately.
"I remembered that Professor Chen was not only a great scholar in literature, but also the teacher of Song Kang, the current court musician!"
"From this point of view, there is no need to worry that today's competition will be unfair."
"Yes, Professor Chen has always been upright. I didn't expect that Yuexian Tower would invite him. I just don't know which of the two oirans can be better."
"Don't you know Bibi? Let's get started!"
"..."
On the second floor, Li Yu and Tang Ji stared at each other. The former quickly hooked the latter's shoulders and asked in a low voice: "Did you ask Professor Chen to be the judge? Isn't this a foul?"
"I thought it was you!" Tang Ji replied angrily, and then broke away from his arm.
Just when the two of them were confused, Li Xian, who was sitting next to him, took a sip of herbal tea and said: "In order to invite Mr. Chen to come out to host this competition, I have spent a lot of effort and even moved the teacher.
come out."
According to the relationship between master and apprentice, Luo Qingqing has some relationship with Professor Chen. I believe that Professor Chen will be able to hear it when he plays the music for a while. For the sake of face, he will definitely judge Luo Qingqing to win.
Although this victory was in vain, Li Xian just wanted to overwhelm Li Yu.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but found that Li Yu, who was sitting opposite, was also snickering, and asked doubtfully: "Why is the emperor's brother laughing?"
Li Yu quickly reached out to cover his mouth, raised his hand and shook it, then whispered to Tang Ji: "This guy shot himself in the foot, we will definitely win!"
Jiang Ran has been learning the piano with Mr. Chen for so many days, and he can be considered a half-disciple after all. It goes without saying who he will help!
Tang Ji winked at Li Yu and told him to be quiet.
Li Xian couldn't understand the two people's behavior and murmured: "It's inexplicable."
While the three were discussing, the competition in the audience had also begun. According to the rules of drawing lots, Luo Qingqing started first.
Luo Qingqing wore a brand-new light blue dress today, and her dress was even more cute and cute. The kind that made people want to hug her and love her. She walked to the center of the stage, bowed, and sat down dignifiedly.
Next, he glanced at Jiang Ran, who was still talking to Jiu'er, and said to himself: "This time, you will definitely lose!"
Immediately, her fingers gently touched the strings of the guzheng, and her fingers began to dance nimbly on the long strings. The sweet sound of the piano echoed throughout the building, making many originally anxious guests suddenly quiet down.
Jiang Ran, who was standing in the audience, was a little surprised and murmured: "She has made great progress."
"Ah, Miss, what should we do?" Jiu'er held Jiang Ran's hand. She didn't want her young lady to lose the game and take off her clothes and swim around the building. She was about to get up and said, "I'll go find Mr. Tang."
Jiang Ran quickly stopped her and tapped her little head: "I didn't say I couldn't beat her. Don't worry, I'm sure."
Hearing this, Jiu'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew the young lady was the best."
Not long after, Luo Qingqing finished playing one of his songs and stood up again to salute, and the building suddenly became excited.
"It sounds great. Although I don't understand the music, after listening to this song, I don't seem to be that excited anymore!"
"You know what, this piece of music can regulate people's emotions, make us relax, and when our minds are calm, we naturally won't feel the heat."
"If you put it that way, Luo Qingqing will definitely win?"
"What's the sure win? Jiang Ran hasn't played yet!"
"Stop arguing and listen to what Professor Chen has to say!"
In this way, the eyes of the whole audience instantly focused on Professor Chen. The latter put down the cup with a calm expression, opened his closed eyes, and said: "Chang!"
