Clam Pearl

Xu'er's hands are soft, and although she smells of cheap incense, it's rare that she is pure and pleasant, naive, and diligent, just like the neighbor's little sister, shyly helping Gu Zhao quickly Peeled a table of chestnuts.

Gu Zhao didn't show the slightest sign of anxiety, and he really couldn't get excited, so he just ate chestnuts there. The people in the room saw that they were not very old, but they were very friendly, as if they were playing a house, so they all It's a kind smile, and it doesn't run on them.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, only to hear footsteps on the wooden stairs of the small building. In a moment, two or three women came up, each holding a pipa and a drum stand. But it was three female gentlemen.

Hey, is this an old storyteller?Gu Zhao was happy, and sat down quickly. After all, Mr. Yu Geng had been trained to look like an aristocrat during this period of time.

The female gentleman came in, saluted, and held the curls to Li Xiuzhi who was sitting at the main seat, asking him to order.

Li Xiuzhi waved his hand, pointed at Gu Zhao and said, "Gu Xiaolang is here for the first time, let him order first."

The female gentleman held the scroll again and brought it to Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao took the scroll, spread it out on the table and looked at it seriously.

The repertoire on the volume is divided into four contents, including lectures on scriptures, history books, business fans, and verses written by famous poets.

Sutras are Buddhist stories, history books are historical stories, and business fans are used for guessing riddles and drinking orders.

Gu Zhao looked at it for a long time, pointed to a story in one of the history books and said, "Just this one!"

Qiu everyone ran over in a turbulent manner, and smiled: "Mmm...it's a good song."

Xu'er gently tugged on Gu Zhao's sleeve and muttered quietly: "That's going outside to sing to the old gentlemen to relieve their boredom, aren't you old?"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again.

Gu Zhao didn't feel ashamed at all, covered his heart expressionlessly and said, "That's exactly what I need to hear, there really is an old gentleman living here."

Xue He laughed so that his stomach ached, crawled over, flipped through the curls, turned his head and said to everyone Qiu: "Your family is really lazy. You used to listen to these things in the first year, but now you are tired of hearing them. Forget it soon..."

Qiu everyone laughed and said: "We sell songs, not write tunes. You scholars don't work hard, but you blame us. It's really unreasonable. That's all. A few days ago, I, Li Lang, wrote a song. I called them sing."

Li Xiuzhi's face was filled with spring immediately, a little shy, but also a little excited. He and everyone in Qiu looked at each other, and the autumn spinach in there had grown dozens of mu of land.

The people in the room agreed together, and after finishing speaking, the lady began to hit the teeth, and started playing the pipa, but it was always happy:

"When I came in my dream, Huai Yuan walked forward,

The autumn wind is rustling.

A glass of residual wine, two lines of lonely voices,

Yannan people go north.

In front of the Pear Blossom Building, Tao Rui twice.

Drunk together thousands of miles away.

The moon is half curved, the wind blows the candle shadow,

Wiping tears when we meet each other in our sleep..."

After the song was over, the room was silent except for Xu'er's persistent sound of peeling chestnuts. Everyone in Qiu wiped away their tears and sighed: "Li Lang is really a sentimental species."

Li Xiuzhi showed a mournful face, took a sip of the wine glass, sighed again and again, and after he finished, he walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked melancholy in the direction of his hometown, and lamented: "Arong, Arong..."

Qiu everyone stood up, reached out to take one side of the short jacket, and he reached out to help Li Xiuzhi put it on. Li Xiuzhi took the opportunity to hold her catkin again: "In this world, you are the only one who understands me best."

Everyone in Qiu also took the opportunity to hold his hand and lamented: "Li Lang, when I get my name on the gold list tomorrow, my husband will get his wish and return to his hometown, and my sister will definitely get her wish..."

Their appearance made Gu Zhao very depressed, and wanted to scold his mother very much.

These words, not to mention good or bad, most of them are the same, they are all sad, lamenting, melancholy, there is no way, incomplete and poignant is the mainstream.

This Li Xiuzhi is really weird, he lives in a brothel and misses his wife, and even composes lyrics for the prostitutes to sing, this...how is this happening?How could he be so straightforward?Gu Zhao had no choice but to stretch out his hand, took a chestnut and peeled it with Xu'er, and ate the chestnut. He and Xu'er are really a couple, they are both illiterate and don't understand!

Everyone was melancholy for a while, and the lady sang two more tunes, one by Xiao Yanhe and one by Yang Duanheng.

After the singing was over, everyone Qiu came over to ask for Gu Zhao's poems. Gu Zhao threw away the chestnut shell and spread his hands: "I'm sorry, everyone Qiu, I don't know how to do it!"

The people in the room were taken aback and all looked at him.

Gu Yan laughed, not ashamed at all, he said casually: "My family lives in Pingzhou Alley."

"The Gu family in Pingzhou Alley?" Li Xiuzhi called out in surprise.

Gu Zhao nodded with a smile, but he didn't hide it: "It's the Gu family in Pingzhou Lane. The gang in my family have been dancing guns and clubs since I was a child. I don't know how to do such elegant things. So, brothers It’s up to you to forgive.”

Qiu everyone stood up, looked up and down carefully, and after thinking about it again, they asked tentatively: "Is Xiao Lang a seven-year-old?"

"Hey? How do you know?" Gu Zhao was surprised.

Everyone in Qiu clapped their hands, stretched out their fingers and tapped Gu Zhao's forehead lightly, and said, "What a young gentleman, let me just say, I know a lot of people in your house, the only one I haven't seen is Gu Zhao. Qilang. Let’s just say, the magpies are chattering today, but it turns out that Gu Qilang, who didn’t know it, has arrived, it’s really rude.”

Qiu everyone stood up, deeply blessed.

Gu Zhao stood up and hurriedly returned the gift, his head was muddled, Gu Qilang who knew nothing.

Xue He yelled and jumped up. He walked over, looked at Gu Zhao carefully from left to right, up and down, and scolded with a smile: "Bah! It's you, you Gu Qilang. At the end of last year, your family Gu Si killed us. There is no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the earth, it turns out that you are far away in the sky, but you are in front of your eyes! Now, I must punish you, you have made it hard for me to hide it!"

When he said this, Gu Zhao suddenly realized, last year, didn't he teach Gu Si a lot of nonsense, but how did others know that he said it?

But it turned out that Gu Maochang was drunk one day, so he told his friends that it was my seventh uncle who said it. Therefore, the original author who knew or didn't know suddenly became famous in Beijing.Gu Zhao didn't like to leave the house, so no one told him, in fact, he was already a celebrity.

Although Gu Zhao's words were aimed at scholars, those words were really shocking and thought-provoking, so scholars still admire those who can ask themselves. Of course, they have always wanted to catch Gu Zhao and ask, you know?Of course, although Gu Zhao already had the answer, you guess I know, but... I really want to ask in person!

The people in the room were very excited, Li Xiuzhi even came over, grabbed Gu Zhao's lapel and was about to ask aloud, Gu Zhao waved his hand neatly: "Hey! Although I don't know poetry, I know what you don't, Do you want to listen?"

"Of course I want to listen, tell me quickly!" Xue He said loudly, with excitement and pride that couldn't be concealed in his tone.

His friends are celebrities, which means that his social circle is still very high-level, and he can always be unhappy, so he shouts the loudest and makes the most noise.

Gu Zhao sat down, took the lady's drumstick, knocked it on the table, and said, "What I'm talking about today is a legendary story."

"Hey? What is a legend? What is a story." Everyone Qiu asked.

Gu Zhao stopped, yes, there is no such thing as novels in this era, and there are no stories like legends... The era has not yet arrived, and cultural products have not yet fully developed. It is said that the earliest one-fold story is called "Peacock" The story of "Flying to the Southeast" is truly poignant, beautiful and sad, but Gu Zhao doesn't know how to write it in that way either!

What he knows is the modern way of interpretation, but in this era, operas are mostly fragments in history books, as well as wild bridge sections in the market, from beginning to end, tens of thousands of words, the whole story, telling a complete story , there are few things with more than a few thousand words, and Gu Zhao can’t understand it in six or seven words. He has no choice but to listen to wild books on the street. To put it bluntly, is he illiterate , I like to listen to the sayings in the field.

I think so, but there is a key, but it opens a door in an instant. During this period of time, things that he couldn't understand, couldn't understand, and things he couldn't help, all of a sudden, he suddenly got through, right? , Yes, it can be so, so!Why didn't I think of it?

There was a thunder in his mind, and many things became clear in an instant. Gu Zhao was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but he still held back his temper, sat upright and smiled and said, "Of course you don't know, you never know." You just take it for fun, but you don’t have to take it seriously, you can just take it as a random fabricated wonder, just listen to it, and just laugh. This is a wild joke I heard in the countryside. It’s a wild joke, I can’t Get to the bottom of it, just listen to it..."

The crowd said: "Don't talk too much, tell me quickly."

Xu'er was very happy, and helped Gu Zhao add tea to moisten his throat, and peeled a lot of chestnuts for him.

Gu Zhao thought about the stories he read in his previous life for a while, and after thinking about it, he talked about the story of A Chinese Ghost Story.

A Chinese Ghost Story is actually Nie Xiaoqian in Liaozhai, but Gu Zhao can’t tell what Nie Xiaoqian tastes like at this level. He can only tell the taste of the TV version of A Chinese Ghost Story in later generations, which is a typical Hong Kong and Taiwan drama version.

A good story is popular in any era, let alone in this era, with such a blunt way of telling.

That scholar, that Lanruo Temple, that wonderful piano girl Nie Xiaoqian, that nasty grandma, and that weird art of absorbing yang essence, and what Yan Chixia possessed, which these people have never heard of Chivalry.

Everyone in the room was stunned, only heard the young man slowly say in a crisp voice, what the world is boundless, the universe borrows the law!What imperial sword flying...

Gu Zhao likes A Chinese Ghost Story very much. One of his lines is his favorite and he regards it as his motto in life. That line is that there are two blessings in life: one is to eat well, and the other is to sleep well. Accompanied by someone who knows and loves each other, one year is a happy year and a lifetime is a lifetime of happiness.

Naturally, he should focus on saying this rare sentence that he never forgets, and describe in detail the surrounding artistic conception and the scenery in the movie.

Uh, in the end, Li Xiuzhi slapped the table vigorously, with a feeling of roaring, so that the people in the room scolded him loudly, disgusted him for making trouble, Qiu everyone kept rolling their eyes at him, without any face Give it to him, but Li Xiuzhi is excited, why is this story so good?

Let's talk about goblins now, that one is not vicious and has a ferocious face, but all the goblins here are so lovable, he is just excited!

In the past, there was such a way of speaking, such a thing, such... such a good, such a wonderful, hearty, poignant and extremely beautiful way of expressing emotions!

This story is so good, it’s incomplete, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s full of sickness and poignancy that conforms to the mainstream of society!So fucking good.

After the story was told, there was silence in the room...

I only heard everyone from Qiu muttering: "Caichen..."

Xue He was also chattering: "Xiaoqian..." After shouting, he rushed to the window and called his servant Que Nu downstairs: "Qing Nu, pack your bags, let's go back to live in the temple!"

This group of people was excited for a long time, but when they thought of Gu Zhao, there was no sign of Gu Zhao in the room.

Where did Gu Zhao go?Gu Zhao is back home!

On the way home.Gu Zhao was running towards the setting sun with excitement. He thought of it, thought of a good way to keep the safety of future generations for thousands of years.

He wants to write a book, a masterpiece!

Write a famous book that the royal family will always regard as official history and cannot give up!

He wants to write a book!He is the fifth famous book that has been passed down for thousands of years.

He wants to write a book that will tie the Gu family and the royal family to a rope forever and become a pair of unlucky grasshoppers.

He wants to write a book!Write a legendary book that brainwashes the whole world, and even generations to come!

This book will focus on explaining the orthodox social status of the Zhao family's monarchy and god-given status. This recognition will become the most powerful blood certificate of the Zhao family's lineage!If the Zhao family of the royal family wanted to punish the Gu family for their crimes, then indirectly they would not recognize their blood proof of the divine right of the king.

Gu Zhao wants to write a book!

Of course, in this book, the Gu family will become a heart and treasure that the royal family will never give up. From now on, no matter what the Gu family is, As long as the empire is not overthrown, then the Gu family will always be with him in the glory of the royal family for a long time, eating together and waiting to die in safety, generation after generation, going round and round for thousands of years!
