Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 91 Jokes
"Tell a joke?" The rest of the people were a little strange and a little excited. The ladies in Deyang had never played like this before. Maybe such a novel way of playing would be very interesting.

Some people began to rack their brains to think of jokes.

In the era when Xu Manzhen came, jokes were a very common thing, not to mention the national magazines "Story Club", "Reader" and so on. There are fresh jokes in each period, and there are all kinds of joke websites and joke collections on the Internet. , and there are countless collections of funny mobile phone text messages available for download.

In short, for modern people, jokes are a very common thing.

But this era is different. There are very few books like joke collections. The most famous one is "Xiao Lin Guang Ji".This is also a very successful joke book, and the collected jokes are also very classic.

Sure enough, the first person who volunteered to tell a joke was indeed from "Xiao Lin Guang Ji".This girl's surname is Qi, and her father and brother are both senior officials, and she is also a descendant, so she is usually a very confident person. When she hears that she is going to tell a joke, she must be the first to tell her joke.

In fact, it is also because there are too few jokes now, and I am afraid that others will take the lead. If there is no more jokes to tell, they will be punished.

She wanted to be the first to speak, and some of the remaining people didn't know what she wanted, so some ugly expressions appeared on the faces of those people.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Manzhen couldn't help sighing, how pitiful are the boudoirs in this era, if I tell a joke, I'm afraid it will be taken seriously...

The lady from the Qi family has already started talking.

"In the ancient capital city, there were two high officials, one impatient and the other slow. One day when they came back from court, the two went on the same road. The impatient saw that the slow official was wearing a pair of new shoes, just like his own, and asked, 'What are you doing? How much are these shoes?'

The slow man lifted a few feet and said slowly: 'Five hundred Wen...'"

As expected by others, what Miss Qi's said was indeed a joke from "Laughing Forest". Among the people present, except Xu Manzhen, who had never heard of it, everyone was familiar enough to memorize it. Give her face, and when she finishes speaking, she has to laugh a few times to show her face.

Only Xu Manzhen smiled sincerely, this joke is really interesting.Also because she really didn't know the joke.In an era when there are so many joke resources, who would read "Xiao Lin Guang Ji" in classical Chinese!
Miss Qi's family is not stupid, she can naturally tell who is sincere and who is fake, although it is inconvenient to cast a blank stare at those who smile unnaturally, but she can't help being a little closer to Xu Manzhen.

Who's next?It was cold by the lotus pond.Everyone knows that the jokes I know, I am afraid that most of the people present have seen them. In this way, it is meaningless to say it, and it will end up like Miss Qi's family. On the contrary, it will offend others, and I am immediately extremely embarrassed .

Therefore, for a while, everyone was unwilling to take the initiative to stand up and tell jokes.

Xu Manzhen sighed, she could tell a joke like this, she really had nothing to say, so she had to re-establish a rule, let's pass the flowers by beating the drums, when the drums stopped, whoever the silk flowers fell into would be the one to tell the joke .

If you really don't want to talk about it, you can just sing a song to show off your talent.

Only now did everyone respond and applaud.

Only now did the field finally look like they were playing a game, and it was much more lively.It's just that no matter who's turn it is, what kind of joke is told, it's still the same as the first joke made by Miss Qi's family just now, the audience is full of laughter, but only Xu Manzhen is sincere.

It's not that Xu Manzhen is hypocritical, or that she has little knowledge, but, at her level back then, how could she read the old "Xiao Lin Guang Ji" when she was looking for a joke?Classical Chinese is not so easy to understand.The books she reads now are popular novels specially selected by Xu Dahong, which are really popular.

So after hearing so many jokes, few of them knew about them.

After telling the jokes, many people had a good impression of Xu Manzhen. After all, no matter who told the jokes, they still hoped that someone would join them.But it does not rule out that some people have other ideas in mind.

Finally one time, when the drum beat fell, the big silk flower stopped in Xu Manzhen's hands, so everyone in the audience wanted to see what jokes she could tell.After all, the performance just now is really not flattering to her. No matter how old-fashioned the joke is, she can still laugh out very sincerely, and she also looks very funny.

At the beginning, many people thought she was too hypocritical, but after a long time, everyone felt that the second lady of the Xu family was famous for being ignorant... Maybe it was because she had never read any joke books before. I haven't even watched "Xiao Lin Guang Ji"...

They really guessed right, Xu Manzhen really hadn't watched "Laughing Lin Guangji".

I just can't figure out why a person who has never read any joke book would propose a game like telling jokes?

So it was finally her turn, and everyone put on a look of watching the show.

Finally it's my turn!Xu Manzhen was really relieved, after listening to other people telling jokes for so long, it would be a lie to say that she didn't itch, but I don't know why, every time the flowers just came out of her hands one after another. However, it just couldn't fall into her hands.

She coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and told a very popular joke in later generations: "There was an ant lying lazily on the ground, stretching its legs vigorously. A beetle passed by and saw something very strange, so it asked What does it do. The Ant replied..."

If this joke is put in later generations, no one will laugh unless it is told by the boss.But it was different now. Everyone at the scene listened carefully, and after thinking for a while, they all burst out laughing. Some of the less refined ones even laughed so hard that they cupped their stomachs.

Xu Manzhen also laughed.To be honest, she used to tell jokes to the staff when she was on the set, but she couldn't keep up with others in reading jokes. Every time she told a new joke, it was an old joke to others. The chances of others being funny are poor, but it's because that person is outdated than her.

But now, everyone was giving face and laughing so much, Xu Manzhen felt a little uncomfortable for a while.This joke... is really old-fashioned...

"Manzhen, how could you think of such a funny joke?" The girl who was close to her last time, the fifth girl in the Wenfu, laughed haha, holding her stomach, and said out of breath, "It's absolutely amazing. Now, the ant wants to trip the elephant..."

"Yes, Second Sister, which book did you read these jokes in? My sister also wants to read it." Xu Shuzhen also said with a smile.After saying this, the girls also realized that although the joke was interesting, it only showed that Xu Manzhen's reading was biased, and the jokes in the scene gradually became rare.

Xu Manzhen glanced at Xu Shuzhen with a half-smile, she seemed to be like this all the time, and never saw herself better.

Since I didn't compete with her for anything, is it worthwhile to be so one mountain without two tigers?

"Third sister, are you kidding me? Where did my sister read any books?" Xu Manzhen smiled and said very gently, "My sister is not as busy as you. When I am free, I just think about it. I figured it out by myself. I can win It’s worth it for everyone to have fun.”

Then, she looked at Xu Shuzhen, and said: "It's just that my younger sister is different from me. She has a lot of studies and is valued by the fourth aunt, so she doesn't have time to think about it like this. If my younger sister is really busy, in the future, such activities don't have to be done every time." It’s all here, and everyone can understand it, and I won’t blame you for being rude, right, everyone?”

Xu Manzhen clearly pointed out the fact that you, Xu Shuzhen, want to find a husband-in-law by yourself, don’t you want to participate in more social activities in the boudoir? Then, it’s best not to offend me, who is a sister-in-law, otherwise, No activities will take you there!

There is nothing you can do!

Xu Shuzhen naturally understood, and her expression changed immediately, she looked at Xu Manzhen with a gloomy look.

Xu Manzhen let her see it openly.Although I promised to take her to participate in more activities like this at the time, I am not stupid, you always target me, and I want to help you... I am not out of my mind!

For a moment, the atmosphere by the lotus pond became a little depressing. There were not many fools present, all of them were human beings. Naturally, they could see the swords and swords between the Xu family's concubine's daughter and the concubine's younger sister.

It's just that this is a private matter, so what does it have to do with them?So everyone fell silent.

A few people looked at Xu Manzhen and Xu Shuzhen with interest, wanting to see what they would do next.

Xu Shuzhen's face sank, but soon she showed a sweet smile again, and said: "Second sister is really a clever person, such a funny joke is thought of by myself, my sister really admires it. My sister is a If you like to hear jokes, come and play with my sister in the future, but my sister should always tell my sister about it."

Hearing what she said, everyone knew that the concubine was showing weakness, and the scene became lively again.

Xu Manzhen also smiled slightly, and said: "It's easy to talk about, it's better for my sister to go to Yiye Garden often in the future."

Brothers and friends respect each other, sisters love each other.After such a play, everyone enjoyed themselves happily.

But Xu Shuzhen lowered her head slightly and bit her lips secretly.Showing weakness in front of so many people is definitely not what she wants.But what else could she do, Xu Manzhen made it very clear that as long as she went too far, she would no longer take herself to any events.

What can be done?The identity of a concubine...is really heavy...

She thought carefully about the joke.We must come up with a joke that is even funnier than Xu Manzhen's joke just now, and it can't be from a book like "Laughing Forest".These books are so widely circulated that few people have never seen them. If they want to make people laugh, they have to make up one by themselves like Xu Manzhen just now.

But making up jokes is not easy.

Or, sing a song by yourself?My own singing voice is pretty good, and I will definitely be able to calm them down...

While Xu Shuzhen was thinking about it, the drums stopped again, and this time the silk flower fell into her hands.

　I checked it just now, and it turns out that there are still quite a few joke books in ancient times, but there is really no way to compare it with the present, and it can’t be compared with the book at that time... The need for sex is indeed the need for happiness front.

　　Also, the baby ate too much today, hurt his stomach, and made him have diarrhea, so he is still coding for everyone... Everyone, look at me for being so cute, please give me a recommendation ticket!
