Chapter 481 "Journey to the West" is popular in the Zhou Dynasty
Su Yunting was like Sun Wukong who could do somersaults on the clouds. He couldn't rest at all. He spent a month visiting all seven towns in Yunzhou.
When Su Yunting said goodbye to Gu Nanxi, Gu Nanxi gave him a task, which was to deliver gifts to the governor of Shuozhou.
He Yunyan, the governor of Shuozhou, loved calligraphy and painting the most. Su Yunting walked around in Gu Nanxi's study, and finally reluctantly decided to give him a pair of his mother's calligraphy.
Carrying gifts, Su Yunting followed the caravan south to Kyoto.
During this period of more than a month, "Journey to the West" serialized in "Yunzhou Weekly" has already described how Sun Wukong apprenticed himself to a teacher, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain, and was rescued by Tang Monk, preparing to travel to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and conquering Zhu Bajie along the way. , Sha Seng and Xiao Bailong have finished talking.
Because the story is easy to understand, interesting, and has a refreshing feeling of upgrading, everyone wants to know whether this stone monkey can successfully obtain the scripture!
"Yunzhou Weekly" is selling like hotcakes again!
Discussions about "Journey to the West" are all taking place in the streets, teahouses and restaurants, even in Kyoto.
The first thing the caravan did when they arrived in Kyoto was to distribute the "Yunzhou Weekly", for fear that it would be late and cause panic buying.
Su Yunting saw that it was still early and his eldest brother should still be studying at Baichuan Academy, so he went to Fuquan Teahouse.
Because he looked like a black slave, no one in the teahouse recognized him.
Fuquan Tea House is still bustling, and the storyteller is spitting on the stage "Journey to the West".
Even though he told it over and over again, the tea guests still never tired of listening to it.
The last time such a grand occasion was when we were talking about "The Legend of the Lonely City".
After the storyteller finished speaking for the last time, he took a sip of tea, waved his hands, and pointed at his throat to indicate that he couldn't talk anymore today, and the tea guests let him go.
"Why is this Tathagata Buddha so bad? Sun Wukong just doesn't want to be an official in heaven. Why should he be suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain?"
"You don't understand this! The Sixteen States of Youyun are Sun Wukong, and Tathagata Buddha is the group of Tartars. Sun Wukong is waiting for Monk Tang to save him now!"
As for who Tang Monk is, it must be Gu Nanxi, Duke of Yun! Anyway, it can’t be the current Holy Emperor!
Another tea guest at the same table ordered a small plate of fried rice and whispered: "Aren't we like Sun Wukong, trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain? The price of food in Kyoto has risen again, and the price of japonica rice has increased from thirty cents per catty. At 50 cents per catty, brown rice has increased from 5 cents per catty to 15 cents per catty! If this continues, I may not even be able to afford food.”
"Is this why you only dare to order a small plate of fried rice? Not to mention that the price of rice has increased, what other things have not increased? Even the rent has increased! I asked the landlord why the price increased, and he said that the price of rice has increased, so He has to rise too!”
"Not to mention the rent, business taxes have also gone up! I heard that the Lord is going to build a garden..."
“The price of everything has increased, but wages have not!”
"Grain prices, house prices, taxes, aren't these all the five fingers that are weighing on us?"
"Shh! You're dying, and you still think this is Kyoto in the past? My next door neighbor was bragging that he was one of the 72 clones of Sun Wukong, and he was caught in jail!"
For a moment, the tea guests pursed their lips tightly, and the atmosphere was very tense.
The last strong man stood up in a hurry, threw ten coins on the table, and complained: "I can't live anymore, and I won't let you go, and I won't let you talk! After all, Sun Wukong is still taken by someone every year. Let’s eat and drink to see him, what do we have?”
Su Yunting blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable all over.
Wasn't Kyoto like this before? Even the gossips in the emperor's harem were made fun of by the people of Kyoto. Now what's going on?
With this doubt, Su Yunting left Fuquan Tea House and went to Baiwei Restaurant to find Su Yunyan.
After all, they were related by blood. Su Yunyan glanced twice and recognized that the piece of black coal in front of him was his second brother.
"Second brother, how much black charcoal did you put on your body? It's not like you're disguised like this! It's more conspicuous when you're painted like this. You might as well change into women's clothes."
Su Yunting followed Su Yunyan into the private room on the second floor, and sat on the chair carelessly: "Shopkeeper Su is so rich that he doesn't look down on your second brother anymore?"
Su Yunyan ordered the kitchen to make a pot of milk tea with sugar, and then closed the door: "Am I not worried about you? How can you become an official in court if you look like this?"
"I have no intention of becoming an official!" Su Yunting raised his feet and said carelessly, "What happened in Kyoto recently? I feel weird when I come back."
Su Yunyan opened the door and took the milk tea, then closed the door with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Why else? That little emperor is causing trouble again!"
"Oh?"
"In the second round of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong learned the Great Immortal Technique from Patriarch Bodhi. Everyone guessed that this was the way to become an immortal and that he could live forever. The little emperor had been in poor health recently and had to rest for ten days on the previous day. Isn't this right? Just start pursuing immortality?”
Su Yunting couldn't laugh or cry: "This is a storybook, why does he take it seriously?!"
Su Yunyan pursed her lips, poured a full pot of milk tea for her second brother, and then began to complain: "Starting ten days ago, he sent me to the palace for five days in a row, asking me if Yizu was the one who bought Dapin The Heavenly Immortal Secret was passed on to Grandma.”
"Huh?!" Su Yunting's eyes widened and he was a little speechless, "Didn't he swear that the peerless treasure was a strategy for governing the country? Why did he believe that the treasure was a great magic weapon?"
"He opens and closes his mouth and says whatever he wants. Who can cover his mouth? Not to mention me, even Yizu was sent to the palace several times. In the end, Yizu was angered and blocked in the palace. We were scolded at the door for three hours! Then the little emperor didn’t dare to come to us.”
"He is really stunned!" Su Yunting felt that he had missed too many good shows during the more than a year he went to sea!
"Isn't it your mother-in-law's fault?! I said that girl is so wicked!" Cui Sanlun cursed as the door was pushed open.
At the same time, Mr. Li Ge, who was already in poor health, also went to Taishi Tong's house to complain.
"Gu Nanxi, this girl's movie is so wicked! The trap she set a few years ago is one after another, and it's not over yet!"
The two of them sat opposite each other at the stone table. Lotus flowers were in full bloom in the artificial lake not far from them, and the fragrance was pleasant.
The servants stood far away, and only Mrs. Tong Taishi strolled in from the flowers on both sides of the path with drinks and tea.
"Mr. Li Ge didn't come to the Grand Master's residence for nothing. When he came, he talked about Gu Nanxi. What did Duke Yun do?" Mrs. Grand Master Tong poured wine for the two of them.
After pouring the wine, Master Tong patted the stone bench beside him and asked his wife to sit down and listen together.
Mr. Li Ge took a sip of the fruit wine. The wine was sweet and clear. As soon as he drank it, he knew it was produced in Yunzhou.
It was obviously good wine, but he felt a bitterness that spread from the tip of his tongue to the base of his tongue, and finally the bitterness reached his heart.
"How could he fall for it? How could he fall for such a simple trick?! Those sage books and history books were all read in vain!"
