Chapter 208 Is it a god, a ghost or a fox?(2/2)
Traveling for a ferry?
Zhang E said: "We brothers are all very evil, and we are not afraid when we meet Miss Yin Ping - oh, my knees are broken."
Zhang Dai suddenly said: "Could that girl who appeared on Broken Bridge be White Snake?"
Zhang E forgot about the pain and shouted: "It is indeed White Snake. She is here to find the reincarnation of Xu Xian. Do you wonder if I am the reincarnation of Xu Xian?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "The third brother is not the reincarnation of Xu Xian, but the reincarnation of Xu Chu. Look -" he pointed towards the Leifeng Pagoda on the south bank, "If the Leifeng Pagoda does not fall, how will the White Snake get out?"
Zhang E said vaguely: "It's hard to say. Maybe he got out from the bottom of the lake. It's really a romantic encounter tonight. It's wonderful, wonderful."
The boat still returned to the broken bridge. After paying the boatman two coins, Zhang Yuan and his eight people went ashore and returned to the canal port four or five miles away. By this time, they had already passed Ergu. Along the way, Zhang Dai and Zhang E returned.
Are you guessing that the girl is a god? A ghost? Or a fox?
The next morning, the three Zhang brothers entered Hangzhou City to look for Liu Jingting. They passed through Bushi Alley, passed Chaotianmen and went around to Wangxian Bridge. There was a teahouse called Wangxian Tower beside Wangxian Bridge. Liu Jingting had been telling stories in this teahouse for many years.
Once the story was told, the cash register was eighty cents. Because of Liu Jingting, the Wangxian Restaurant was packed every day, and the income was much more than eight cents of silver——
The Zhang brothers came to Wangxian Tower, found a table in the teahouse on the second floor and sat down. The tea doctor asked the three princes what kind of tea they wanted, West Lake Longjing or Usnea tea? Zhang Dai said: "If there is any tea, just serve it."
Dr. Tea then went to cook tea and Zhang Yuan and the other three slowly tasted the tea. They waited for Liu Jingting to arrive. At the end of the morning, Liu Jingting appeared on the stage with quiet clothes and smooth eyes. Zhang E frowned and said: "This man is really ugly, not to mention his face is pockmarked."
, and his face is covered with scars.”
Zhang Dai said: "People should not be judged by their appearance. Although this person is ugly, he is not vulgar."
Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Liu Jingting looks like he is less than thirty years old. His face looks disfigured. He must have committed a murder in his hometown, so he changed his face and changed his name."
As soon as the words stopped and the teahouse became silent, Liu Jingting started to talk about "Wu Song fighting tigers in Jingyanggang". Zhang Yuan listened for a while and was very surprised. What Liu Jingting said about Wu Song fighting tigers was very different from Shi Naian's "Water Margin"
Similarly, the section written by Shi Nai'an from "Three Bowls of Nothing" to Wu Song's Fighting Tigers only has about 4,000 words, but Liu Jingting's section about Wu Song's "Three Bowls of Nothingness" at the Gang Inn has nearly 3,000 words. It is descriptive and microscopic.
When Wu Song went to the shop to buy wine, he saw no one in the shop. Wu Song suddenly roared, and all the empty jars and jars in the shop buzzed and echoed——
Zhang Dai praised: "Wonderful, the color in leisure is not as subtle as Shi Naian's."
Zhang Dai spoke in a slightly louder voice. When Liu Jingting heard this, he glanced over and paused his story. Liu Jingting was very classy. When he was speaking, if he saw anyone whispering or yawning, he would shut up and say something.
He waited until everyone sat quietly with bated breath and listened intently before he continued -
Zhang Daiyao bowed to Liu Jingting and expressed his apology. Liu Jingting smiled slightly and began to talk about Wu Song fighting a tiger. His voice was soft and loud at times, screaming and crashing the house violently, and hesitating and whispering at times.
When the tea guest heard about it, he knew the severity and severity of the illness very well. Zhang Yuan, Zhang E and others all listened with rapt attention.
When Liu Jingting talked about Wu Song interrupting the whistle stick and the tiger leaping towards him, the description of his movements became more and more precise, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. After half an hour of "Wu Song fighting the tiger in Jingyanggang", all the tea guests present did not leave the table.
Those who heard it were all intoxicated.
When Zhang Yuan saw Liu Jingting going downstairs, he followed with Zhang Dai and Zhang E, cupped their hands and said: "Mr. Liu, you are going down the mountain to have sex with Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jiezi——"
Zhang Dai and Zhang He also reported their names, and Liu Jingting said calmly: "What advice do the three young masters Zhang have to ask Liu?"
Zhang Yuandao: "How about inviting Mr. Liu to the Jianbi Restaurant for a few drinks and then talk in detail?"
When Liu Jingting saw that Zhang Yuan and the others were all scholars at a young age, and they were polite and polite, they did not dare to neglect and said no trouble, so he followed Zhang Yuan and the others to a restaurant next to Wangxian Tower. The four of them sat at the same table.
After placing a pot of Suzhou Sanbaijiu and six plates of exquisite dishes, Zhang E took the lead and said: "Mr. Liu, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. The year before last, someone asked Mr. Liu to talk about Yao Fu. Does Mr. Liu remember it?"
Liu Jingting patted his head, looked at Zhang Yuan and said: "It turns out that Mr. Zhang is the one who beat Dong Zuchang. He did a good job. Mr. Liu also heard about Mr. Zhang's eight-legged fight with Yao Fu the year before last. Mr. Zhang can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. I admire him.
,admire."
Zhang E said happily: "Mr. Liu also said that the fight against Dong Zuchang was good. It's wonderful. Three of my brothers came to Mr. Liu today because of this matter." He said to Zhang Yuan: "Jiezi, you can tell me."
Zhang Yuan showed Liu Jingting the article "Record of Dong Huan's Evil Deeds". For some reason, when Liu Jingting read this article, the veins on his forehead burst out, and the scars on his face turned purple, making him look hideous. It took him a while to calm down.
As usual, he raised his head and said, "Liu understands what Mr. Zhang means. Does Mr. Zhang want Liu to compile a story about this matter to promote Dong's evil?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Thanks to Mr. Liu, I also ask Mr. Liu to go to Songjiang to tell stories. The remuneration is up to Mr. Liu." It is still very risky to publicize Dong Qichang's scandal in Songjiang, so it must be done again. Liu Jingting pondered for a while and asked: "Master Zhang wrote
Are these all true?"
Zhang Yuandao: "The person who wrote about the suppression here is Lu Yangfang, who is my brother-in-law's brother. There are actually several students from Songjiang in the thatched cottage. Mr. Liu can ask them. I will invite them this afternoon, or Mr. Liu can ask people from Songjiang Prefecture.
These things are not difficult to find out."
Liu Jingting said with emotion: "Liu is willing to help. Liu hates the evil gentry who bullies men and dominates women."
Liu Jingting agreed so readily that Zhang Yuan and the other three were overjoyed and made an appointment to meet at the canal port tomorrow morning and go to Qingpu together.
