Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

A few people walked into the cat cafe and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Meow-"

When several kittens saw Lu You, they all gathered around him, some jumping onto his legs, others rubbing against his feet.

"Mr. Lu, why do the kittens like you so much?" Su Jiahe asked curiously.

"Maybe it's because I love raising cats, and I have a connection with them." Lu You said as he stroked the kitten's fur in his arms. "What breed is this? It's quite pretty, and its fur is so long."

"This is a Ragdoll cat," the cat cafe owner suddenly came over, "and this is a Silver Tabby, this is an American Shorthair, and this is a British Blue. We only have purebred cats in our shop."

"There are so many breeds of cats nowadays. I was wondering why they all look different." Lu You suddenly realized.

"Would you like to order anything? We have coffee, desserts, and juice for the kids."

Su Jiahe had just finished her meal and couldn't eat anything, but it was inappropriate to pet someone else's cat for free, so she had to order a few drinks.

"What does this shop do and why do they have so many cats?" Lu You asked in confusion.

"It's similar to the teahouses in the past. They keep cats to attract customers," said Su Jiahe.

"Oh? That's a novel idea."

The warm air in the store was very hot, and soon Lu You felt thirsty. He picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip, but unexpectedly a bitter and sour taste rushed into his mouth.

"Puff——" Lu You almost spit out the liquid. In order not to lose his composure, he quickly blocked it with his hands and swallowed the liquid in his mouth.

"Mr. Lu, I forgot to remind you that this is called coffee and you may not be used to it." Su Jiahe quickly handed over the napkin.

Lu You wiped his hands, and after a long time, the strange taste in his mouth finally dissipated.

"I really haven't tasted this thing. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"It's okay. I'm not used to it either. You can have my cup with sugar and milk. It tastes better." Wang Mang handed over his cup. "I'll drink Yingying's juice. She doesn't drink it anyway."

Yingying was sitting among a group of kittens, stroking one and feeding another. She was very busy and didn't care at all that Wang Mang took her juice.

Several people sat in the store for a long time before moving on.

"Jiahe, the place we live in is so big, we can raise a few more cats." Wang Mang said.

"No, no, I'm fine with my candy balls." Su Jiahe quickly refused.

It's okay to just look at other people's cats. If you raise so many cats yourself, not only will there be cat hair everywhere, but the workload of feeding, watering and cleaning up the poop will also double.

Besides, Tangqiu accompanied him through the years of poverty. Now that he is rich, he has "three wives and four concubines". Isn't that too conscienceless?

Su Jiahe took Lu You on a long tour of the city in the afternoon. Like other tourists, Lu You also turned into a curious baby.

"Are those people hawking their wares along the streets the peddlers of today?"

"It's about the same. They all run small businesses, and now they are called stall owners." Su Jiahe explained.

"Why are there so many people on the street, all wearing the same yellow or blue clothes?"

"They deliver food. For example, if you are at home and don't want to go out for dinner, they will deliver the food to your home."

"After more than 800 years, this business still exists." Lu You looked surprised.

"Was there takeout eight hundred years ago?" Su Jiahe was stunned.

"Yes, some restaurants have people who deliver food to your door."

After a while, the car passed a commercial square. There was a makeshift stage in the square, and several actors were singing and dancing on the stage.

"Is that a brothel?" Lu You asked, pointing at the stage.

"This is not a brothel. It should be a business opening to attract customers. It's a formal performance." Wang Mang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The car continued to move forward and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of a theater. On the theater's sign were three big characters: "Yun De Society".

"Hey, so Yunde Society is here. I didn't know it before. Mr. Lu is here today, let's go in and take a look."

Su Jiahe parked the car on the side of the road and bought tickets for a few people. Before the show started, they found a front-row seat.

"Welcome, everyone." A waiter enthusiastically served melon seeds, snacks and tea.

"What is this place used for?" Lu You asked.

"This is for watching performances," Wang Mang said, pointing to the stage. "Someone will be performing soon."

"Oh, so this is the brothel."

"No, no." Wang Mang quickly covered Lu You's mouth and glanced at the waiter next to him. Fortunately, no one around heard it.

"Mr. Lu, the word 'Gou Lan' has a derogatory meaning in later generations. Now, people who perform on stage are generally called actors." Wang Mang whispered in Lu You's ear.

"So that's how it is. I made a fool of myself. I'm so sorry." Lu You felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I don't blame you. It's just that the world is different now, and actors are respected."

As he was speaking, the curtain slowly opened, revealing two crosstalk performers standing on the stage, and the audience burst into warm applause.

"Today we will tell you a story about 'couplets'."

"You ask the question and I can answer it correctly."

"Okay, let's start with the simplest two-character pairing. My first line is 'cabbage.'"

"My second line is about 'radish'. Everyone has their own preferences, radish or cabbage."

"I'll give you 'Silk'."

"I'm to 'Carrot'."

"Why is it carrots again?"

"I'm talking about Luobu, the Luo of silk and silk, and the Bu of cloth."

"Well, that's not a problem. Then I'll come up with another one called 'Qinse'."

"radish."

"Haha," there was a laugh from the audience.

"I said you don't know any other words, right?"

"This time I'm talking about gongs and bowls. The gong in gonggu and the bowl in boboji. The qin and se are both string instruments, while the gong and bowl are percussion instruments. Doesn't this make sense?"

"Oh, that's not a problem for you. I'll make it harder this time and give you a four-character one."

"no problem."

"Listen carefully, my first couplet is the Four Treasures of the Study."

"Four Treasures of the Study?"

"Oh, no."

"Four Treasures of the Study, right? I'm right..."

Before the actor finished his lines, Yingying suddenly shouted "Litang Ding Zhen" from the audience.

The entire audience fell silent, and everyone looked at Yingying. The actor on stage was stunned for a few seconds, then asked Yingying, "Little friend, why are you so right?"

"I'm sorry, my child is ignorant." Su Jiahe said quickly, fearing that Yingying would ruin other people's performance.

However, Yingying ran forward a few steps and said calmly: "Wen is paired with Li, Fang is paired with Tang, Ding is the fourth of the ten heavenly stems, so Si is paired with Ding, Bao is paired with Zhen, and the four treasures of the study are paired with Litang Ding Zhen."

After hearing Yingying's explanation, the audience immediately exclaimed in amazement.

"You know what, this kid is really right!"

"Is this a cheat?"

The two actors on the stage looked at each other in bewilderment. This was clearly a new joke, but why was the little girl in the audience saying it word for word?

Is it a coincidence, or did someone leak the information?
