Chapter 297 I like to watch
Old Mrs. Yang narrowed her eyes, looked at him carefully, then slapped her thigh and said as if she had suddenly realized something: "Oh my, it turns out to be County Magistrate Tang! Time flies so fast. I haven't seen you for so long that an old woman like me can't remember you for a while!" As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted the back of Tang Yanshu's hand.
Tang Yanshu hurriedly bowed and responded: "Old lady, you are still as charming as ever! Look at you, you are so strong and your complexion is very good. You don't look like an old person at all." He thought to himself, remembering that Old Lady Yang used to like to hear others praise her. Now, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. He wondered if she still likes this.
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, footsteps were heard outside the door. Not long after, General Su, Mr. Qi, and Mrs. Qi walked in one after another.
When Master Qi and Madam Qi walked into the room, everyone in the room hurriedly stood up and prepared to kneel down to greet them.
At this time, Old Lady Yang walked up quickly, took Madam Qi's hand with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, Madam Qi, Master Qi, please take your seats! Everyone is here, we can start listening to the storytelling soon! Let me tell you, this time the storytelling is very different from the past! They have been practicing hard at home these days, saying that they want to give us a big surprise. Even Xiao Cao has told us that after listening, everyone must talk about their feelings. Oh, but I am so stumped, I really don't know how to express those feelings! Madam Qi, you know a lot, please help me think about it later."
"Oh, what's that feeling?" Mrs. Qi asked.
"Xiao Cao'er, what feeling are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Yang turned and asked Xiao Cao'er.
Xiao Cao'er, who was following beside her, looked heartbroken: Grandma, I just want to give you something to do, not ask you to give something to the Queen Mother to do, so why do you let me talk about my feelings?
"Mrs. Qi, my grandma is talking about her impressions after watching the show. She listened to the book and watched their performance. Please share your feelings."
"Okay, then I will take a closer look." Mrs. Qi really agreed to what Old Lady Yang asked.
Seeing this, everyone was at a loss for a moment, looking at each other, wondering whether they should kneel down and salute. At this time, Master Qi, the retired emperor, smiled and waved his hand gently at everyone, saying, "You are all old acquaintances of mine. There is no need to be so restrained. Sit down quickly." Hearing the words of the retired emperor, everyone was relieved and hurriedly saluted again to show respect, and then slowly sat down in order.
After everyone sat down, they couldn't help but wonder: How could Old Lady Yang be so familiar with the Queen Mother? She called the Queen Mother Madam Qi, so didn't she know their true identities? The children of the Yang family should know, so why didn't Old Lady Yang know?
You really can't blame the Yang family's children, because of Qi Xingyun's identity. He said at the time that they didn't need to call him "Prince" or anything like that, just use the previous title.
When they arrived in the capital, the retired emperor and the empress dowager came to visit, but the grandchildren were not at home, only Xiaocao'er was there. However, Brother Xingyun only introduced them as brother and sister-in-law, which meant there was no need to call them retired emperor or empress dowager. This was their second visit, and the old lady was very outgoing. Before others had a chance to greet her, she had already started chatting with the empress dowager.
There was no time to explain everything. Fortunately, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were both kind people and did not care much about these etiquettes, otherwise they would definitely accuse you of disrespect.
After a while, the young men from Qingshan Village served tea to the crowd, and Sanmao came on stage and said a few words to everyone: "Hello, elders. Thank you for your presence at the storytelling party. Please forgive me if I am not good at telling stories. Now let's enjoy the first episode of Journey to the West."
The first one to come on stage was Ergouzi, who was the best speaker among the group of guys.
He came forward in a long gown, bowed to everyone, and began to tell the story. His voice was loud and rhythmic, and he quickly brought everyone into the story. As the story progressed, everyone laughed and held their breath. When it came to the monkey jumping out of the stone, there really was a pile of stones that were placed next to the platform at some point, and Yun Er jumped out of it. After he came out, he scratched his face like a monkey, and it was so realistic that everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw him like this.
Xiao Cao'er covered her face. Is it appropriate for Yun Er to be the little monkey? Does his strong body shape fit the image of a newborn monkey? I really don't know what they are thinking.
Then two more people came on stage, and there were people assisting in their performance, which drew applause from everyone.
Before they knew it, the story had come to an end. Everyone applauded and cheered, expressing that they were still not satisfied.
"Oh, it's true that the three versions are different, but they're all good." Mrs. Qi was the first to express her opinion.
"That's right! We should really bring a few monkeys here. They will definitely love to watch." said Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Tang also said, "It's nice, I like watching it, and I think the children will like watching it too."
