Chapter 206 Acting Holy Body???

Gu Tang paused and said, "You know what, she only said this once, but Ma Er and Ma San could actually say the same thing."

Sure enough, these brothers were not bragging, their brains are really working well.

"What about you? How much did you write down?" Yao Mi asked Ma Da.

"I only remembered half of it. I have to trouble you to repeat it twice." Ma Da felt very apologetic. It was his fault that he didn't remember it this time. He hadn't done this job for a long time and his brain was not working well anymore.

Ma Da thought that he had made a mistake by not remembering it the first time, but to Gu Lianshan it was terrible!

"Great! You have a good brain! Just look at the nonsense my daughter just talked about, the Queen Mother of the West. I can remember ten words after listening to it once. I am so proud of myself!

You can remember half of it after listening to it once? If you go to school, you will definitely become an official!"

"Master, you really think highly of me." Ma Da was ashamed. "I was born ugly. Those who study and become officials are all people with good looks and complete limbs. I am not that lucky."

There was a large black spot on Ma Da's face, which looked very abrupt and scary, and the area without the black spot was full of pits and bumps, not smooth at all, plus he had a beard that he never took care of.

This look is really not good-looking, it can be called ugly!

Gu Lianshan patted his shoulder and said, "A person's appearance is determined by nature, and there is no choice! Since our appearance is not good, we can make up for it with money!

Follow my daughter and work hard. When the matter is over, you will get some money. After you have the money, you can go back to your hometown, get a house and a wife, and live a peaceful life. You don’t have to beg anymore in the future.”

Ma Da was grateful: "The girl is kind and kind enough to let us work with her. We don't ask for much money, we just hope to have enough food and drink in the next few days."

This wish is indeed not high.

"It is imperative that you have enough food and drink! I am the boss, and you will have to have wine and meat every day!"

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" Ma Da hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Ma Er and Ma San on the side did the same, smiling widely as they thanked Gu Lianshan.

Gu Tang had no objection to Gu Lianshan's unauthorized decision. Even if her father hadn't said so, she would not have cut back on their food.

She shook out the papers in her hand and continued reading to Martha.

In order to prevent Marda from forgetting it, she read it three times in a row, and after each reading, she took some time to let Marda recite it silently.

After reading it three times, Martha finally remembered it.

But just remembering is not enough, you also have to be able to perform.

Gu Tang thought she would have to spend a lot of time explaining everything to them, but when she said the effect she wanted, the three brothers understood and said they could demonstrate it to Gu Tang.

Gu Tang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said okay, just demonstrate it, and if it doesn't work later, she will give you instructions.

The three brothers pushed back and Martha came out first.

He is the only sober person in the family, clearly remembering the sins committed by his ancestors.

Carrying such a secret, although he said he was sober, he was actually not far from madness. He walked on the street in a daze, ignoring the people on the street and walking on his own. He did not stop even when he bumped into people, and did not talk back when he was scolded or fought back when he was beaten.

He just kept mumbling a story: "...The Queen Mother of the West feasted the immortals on the top of Yaochi Lake. A blue phoenix held an incense burner hanging in the sky. A waterfall of smoke flowed into the Milky Way. A cloud ladder formed to help those who were destined to enter Yaochi Lake in their dreams..."

At this time, Ma Er and Ma San came on the stage. Their eyes were wide open and their faces were ferocious. They chased and fought with each other, snatching something, punching each other, and wishing they could eat each other alive.

They were shouting obscenities, one saying that the immortal fate belonged to him, and the other saying that the ladder to immortality would not recognize him!

They jumped over Martha, knocked him to the ground, ran forward without hesitation, and finally set fire to what they had in their hands.

Ma Er and Ma San only had a stone from the corner in their hands, but it was impossible for them to light it. They could only pretend to light it, but soon the two stopped.

The two brothers came up to Gu Tang and asked quietly, "Girl, after the incense is lit, how will we perform?"

"Ah?" Gu Tang looked stupid and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time!

Oh my god!

Are these three brothers the reincarnations of movie stars? Or are they born actors?

As for the instructions she just gave, she herself felt that they were all nonsense. After all, she didn't study acting and she just learned these nonsense from online videos.

But even after she talked so much nonsense, the three brothers were able to remove the dross and retain the essence, and even added some things into it. This shows their extraordinary strength.

Before Gu Tang could reply, Ma Er and Ma San became anxious: "Girl? But our three brothers didn't demonstrate well just now?"

"Ah? Ah! No!" Gu Tang waved his hands quickly, "You three brothers performed very well! I can't find any mistakes, just act like this!"

The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but then they remembered that Gu Tang had not responded to their question, so Ma Er and Ma San asked again.

Gu Tang thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, if you continue to grab the incense, someone will definitely stop you. Then you will run away like crazy and say that Qingluan is not here."

Ma Er and Ma San recited it silently twice, and then said they had memorized it.

Then it was Gu Tang's turn to ask questions next.

"Who is the master of you three brothers? He's amazing! He actually taught you to be so powerful!"

Those so-called "top stars" in the previous life should really take a good look at this, this is what acting is!

Acting is not about frowning and glaring in anger, frowning and glaring in anger, or frowning and glaring in quarrel!

Gu Tang turned around and asked her father: "Dad, do you think it's good?"

"Good! It couldn't be better! Dad thought it was real, just like the aunties and grandmas quarreling on the street. When they start quarreling, no one can tell it's fake!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It is very true!" Gu Tang praised sincerely, "Your master is really amazing! How does he usually teach you?"

The three of them looked at each other, embarrassed, not knowing whether they should say it or not.

"What? You can't tell me? You have to keep it a secret?" If it really had to be kept secret, Gu Tang could understand, after all, it was someone else's skill in making a living.

"No, no, no! There's no need to keep such a little trick a secret. It's just... our master's teaching method is not very good, and I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to bear it..."

Gu Tang originally planned not to ask any more questions, but after hearing what they said, he couldn't help but urged, "It's okay, I've seen all kinds of big scenes, just tell me!"

“…When our master taught us, he only read the lyrics three or five times, and performed the play three or five times, and then let us slowly understand it.

There would be an inspection at the end of the evening hour every day. If there was even the slightest mistake, whether in singing or acting, the performer would be whipped ten times and would not be allowed to eat the next day and would have to go hungry for a day.

As time went on, the younger ones learned much faster in order to avoid being beaten or scolded..."

Gu Tang: "...Is this how your master taught you?"

"Yes. The master said that the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you."

Gu Tang: ...Okay, okay! That's a good excuse!

"If you have to rely on yourself to understand, then what's the point of becoming a disciple?"

"The lyrics belong to someone else. This is what we learn from our teacher."

Gu Tang: ...Great! If the master is not sincere, the apprentice is the same.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Tang waved his hand, "Since you are all ready, shall we start this afternoon?"

"Okay, let's start in the afternoon."

"Isn't it a bit too hasty?" Gu Lianshan interjected.

Gu Tang shook his head: "No hurry, strike while the iron is hot, make a strong effort, the second will be weak, the third will be exhausted, take advantage of the current good spirits, today is the day."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on." Gu Lianshan didn't ask any more questions.

Since people are being made to work, they must be fed in advance.

Gu Tang told her three brothers to wait here, and then she took her father away to find a restaurant to buy some wine and food.

After buying the food and wine, in order to prevent the three of them from feeling uncomfortable, Gu Tang and his daughter did not stay to eat with them, but went back to the restaurant and ordered another table to eat.

After dinner, taking advantage of the free time, Gu Lianshan said he wanted to buy bedding and clothes for Gu Laian.

"Buy it for big brother?" Gu Tang was surprised. Is the sun rising from the west?

Seeing the mockery in his daughter's eyes, Gu Lianshan simply told her the truth.

"I have found a way for your brother to go. It's in the northern city of Mo, about 200 miles away from here. He will learn the craft from an old carpenter."

"You've really found it?" Gu Tang was a little surprised. "Are you really willing to give it up?"

"Are you willing to give it up? If you don't, something bad might happen. Our family is just getting old, and we can't let your eldest brother do bad things at home."

No matter how worthless Gu Laian is, he is still his son after all.

He has few sons, only Gu Laian and Gu Ping'an.

If sending one away can protect both, then Gu Laian will definitely send him away, no room for negotiation.

"How are you going to send her there? It's two hundred miles away!" Her father can't possibly send her there himself, right?

"Let him go with the old carpenter tomorrow. The old carpenter has hired a team of escorts. It is safer to follow him and it can also prevent your eldest brother from escaping halfway."

Fine, as long as her father doesn't send the person over personally.

The father and daughter drove the ox cart towards the clothing shop.

After arriving at the place, he bought a second-hand fur coat and a set of second-hand bedding for Gu Laian.

Why not buy new ones?

Just because Gu Tang said: "There are many people on the road, so you can't wear too flashy clothes, otherwise you will become a target."

Gu Lianshan had also traveled far away, and Gu Tang's reminder reminded him of some bad things.

So he decided to replace all his clothes and bedding with second-hand ones.

After buying clothes and two water bags, the father and daughter returned to the courtyard.

They couldn't drag these things to find the three brothers of the Ma family. They had to go back to the courtyard and unload them first.

In addition, Gu Tang also has to pick a previously made backflow incense and cut it into two halves.

Half of it was given to Ma Er and Ma San as props, and the other half was kept by Gu Tang. When the time came, he would wait for the right opportunity to see whether to light it again.

The one Gu Tang picked is "Lingxixiang", which has an intricate red peony shape.

Lingxi incense is a health-preserving incense, mainly with herbal aroma. It has the aroma to relieve depression, remove dampness and heat, and stimulate appetite, etc.

Almost all the raw materials for this batch of incense come from the system, and its effectiveness is much stronger than the same incense sold outside.

If someone who is feeling unwell smells this fragrance, it is estimated that the symptoms will be alleviated. It doesn't need to be alleviated too much, just a little bit. Then this fragrance will definitely be crazily sought after.

Everyone will also firmly believe that this incense is not from the mortal world.

She took out her multi-purpose bayonet and cut the peony flower in the middle, cutting it in half.

The two halves were almost the same size, so Gu Tang found a handkerchief to wrap them up.

Soon, the father and daughter left here and went to the three brothers.

After arriving there, Gu Tang opened the bag he brought and gave them a pair of scissors.

"You have been beggars before, so there will definitely be beggars among the people you attract. To prevent you from being recognized, cut off your beards. Also, cut your hair short and let it cover your face."

The three brothers did as Gu Tang asked without hesitation.

Ma Er and Ma San are easy to deal with. Once they cut their beards and cover their hair, they are basically unrecognizable.

Martha is a bit troublesome, the dark spots on his face are very iconic and a bit troublesome.

Gu Tang reached into his bag, using it as a cover to take out a few boxes of paint that had not been used up last time. He then mixed the colors and tried to apply them on Ma Da's face.

After a while, Ma Da looked at himself in the water and was surprised to find that the dark spots on his face were no longer visible.

"This, this is..." He kept looking down at his reflection in the basin without blinking...

Gu Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't take pictures. The reflection in the water is you. It's important to do your work first. It won't be too late to take pictures when you're done."

After living for more than 20 years, this was the first time that Ma Da saw himself without any dark spots on his face. For a moment, his hands and feet were shaking with excitement.

Fortunately, he calmed down quickly and followed Gu Tang out of the yard silently.

The five people in the group all got on the ox cart and drove it eastward.

These are all common people. It's useless to make trouble among them because none of them can afford it.

Gu Tang suggested that her father drive the ox cart towards Changshan Academy.

Almost every house around Changshan Academy has a large courtyard.

To be able to live in a courtyard like this, one must be either rich or noble.

Gu Lianshan also agreed to choose this side. Besides being rich, it also has the most educated people. These people love to pretend to be cultured, so it is absolutely certain that they will be tricked!

When approaching the academy, the ox cart stopped in an empty alley, and Gu Tang handed half a red peony to Ma Er.

"This is the incense, light it at the right time..."

Ma Er thought the incense was the kind used to burn incense and worship Buddha, but he didn't expect it to be in the shape of a flower. No, it was half a flower.

Although he was curious, he knew that this was not the time to ask, so after taking the incense, he, Ma Da and Ma San quickly got out of the car, twisted and turned, and disappeared into the alley.

According to previous expectations, they took Changshan Academy as their final destination and led the crowd in from the outside.

Gu Tang and her father were waiting here. When someone came with a group of people, they would go over pretending to watch the fun.

Just then, a little beggar suddenly popped out from the entrance of the alley.

Gu Tang glanced over and thought that the man wanted to come in and beg for food from house to house, but when he saw an ox cart parked there, he was scared and didn't dare to come over.

"Dad, let's go wait outside on the street." Patting her father's arm, Gu Tang asked her father to drive away.

Gu Lianshan also saw the little beggar. He had the same idea as Gu Tang. They both thought that the little beggar wanted to come over to beg for food, but they were afraid that the father and daughter would scold and drive him away. After all, people in the world regard beggars as dirty things.
