Entertainment: Dominate domestic entertainment through host competition
Chapter 268: Beacon fire tricks on princes are unreliable (page 12)
Zhang Lin was a little confused!
Listen, what does this mean?
Turning to look at his girlfriend, he saw that Wang Bingbing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a dark look on his face. He was obviously shocked by these words.
At this time, Zhang Lin just recalled that when talking on the phone, his girlfriend said that her eldest aunt was a bitch!
Feelings are invisible to the outside at all!
Wang Bingbing and her aunt didn't notice the change in Zhang Lin's expression and said to herself: "Zhang Lin, house prices in Beijing are quite expensive now, right?
Did you get old nose money? "
"The price within the Fourth Ring Road is sky-high, probably tens of millions!"
Speaking slightly exaggeratedly, Zhang Lin started the car and drove onto the highway.
Oops, the eldest aunt said with a sad face: "It's tens of millions. The Lulu family still needs a house within the fourth ring road of Beijing before they are sure to get married. What should we do?"
Zhang Lin looked at Wang Bingbing and asked curiously: "Who is Lulu?"
Apparently accustomed to his parents' way of speaking, Wang Qiangqiang explained: "Lulu is my girlfriend. She is my college classmate. She passed the postgraduate entrance examination with me..."
After listening to what he said, Zhang Lin roughly understood the situation.
In fact, just like his cousin, Wang Qiangqiang's family also became a chicken and a dog and ascended to heaven because of Wang Bingbing.
He learned that Wang Qiangqiang was Wang Bingbing's brother. Now his girlfriend agreed to his pursuit, and her status was also very unusual.
However, my cousin's father-in-law was reasonable and didn't ask for anything from my cousin. He also provided a generous dowry, which made my cousin's family look good.
The in-laws Uncle Wang Bingbing met at home were the kind who had more demands.
Being from a high-ranking official's family, they not only need Wang Qiangqiang's talents, but also need him to prepare a wedding room within the Fourth Ring Road of the capital.
They prepared a wedding car worth more than 200 yuan and used million yuan as dowry.
200 million is an astronomical sum in a small place. In backward second- and third-tier cities, it is easy to buy a large apartment with the full price.
But within the Fourth Ring Road, where land is at a premium in the capital, 200 million is just a waste and cannot solve the urgent need at all.
This stumped the uncle's family.
Even if I buy them, it’s impossible to buy them for tens of millions!
Moreover, Wang Qiangqiang is very obsessed with his girlfriend, to the point where he will not marry her unless she is Qing.
The uncle's family is also very satisfied with his family background and regards it as a path for class jump.
Therefore, this house must be bought, and the car must also be bought.
After listening to Wang Qiangqiang's words, Zhang Lin subconsciously felt that he deserved it.
Licking the dog, licking the dog, licking until there is nothing left!
Marriage is about being well-matched, and trying too hard will only exhaust the whole family, and end up falling short of the good.
This thought flashed through his mind and he strangled it to death, immediately feeling ashamed.
How could I be like this? Why should I care about other people's affairs?
I would rather demolish a thousand temples than a single marriage.
When it comes to marriage, just be careful in your words and deeds.
After muttering "Ami Tofu" silently, Zhang Lin turned the steering wheel and drove towards Haidian District.
Seeing that the two of them were not talking to each other, the eldest aunt looked at the uncle and signaled with her eyes. Seeing that he looked like a quail, she could only ask alone: "Xiao Zhang, have you bought a house with Bingbing?"
Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "No, we hosts are also paid. We want to raise enough money to buy a house, and we still have to endure it!"
After a sigh of relief, Wang Bingbing agreed: "According to the current housing prices, it will be more than ten years before we can buy a house at the earliest."
"Then you make more than ordinary people."
The uncle finally spoke and said with a smile: "It seems that after we have worked all our lives, our salary is only a few thousand yuan, which is not even a fraction of yours."
"Uncle, our basic salary is only a few thousand yuan."
Receiving the reminder from his girlfriend's eyes, Zhang Lin understood and began to cry: "Besides, Bingbing and I are very busy. We are busy all day long, day and night. We are really risking our lives to earn hard-earned money..."
He was impoverished in his previous life, and his face was very thick and tempered.
What he said made the uncle speechless.
The eldest aunt was very anxious, but Zhang Lin said so, so she could only be anxious and helpless.
"We still have a long way to go, why don't we listen to the radio!"
Giving her boyfriend a teachable look, Wang Bingbing turned on the car radio in a brisk tone.
Suddenly, Zhang Lin's magnetic male voice sounded——
[Review the past to learn the new, talk about the past and discuss the present.
Idioms are very interesting. Let’s talk about an allusion today: “Beacon fire plays on the princes”.
This is a pre-Qin version of the story of the boy who cried wolf. ]
Zhang Lin made a sound and felt embarrassed.
It was too late for him to stop him just now, because his girlfriend's hand was too fast!
Wang Bingbing was also a little embarrassed, even a little funny.
She felt that her boyfriend was quite boring and liked to peek at the screen quietly to read comments from netizens praising him.
I never thought that I would even listen to radio programs!
Zhang Lin coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Bingbing, listen to some other music~~"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Qiangqiang said in surprise: "Is this the latest issue of "Xiao Zhang's Flirting History"?"
The look confirmed that this is indeed a fan!
Smiling, Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Yes."
His eyes lit up, and Wang Qiangqiang said hurriedly: "Bingbing, don't change the channel yet, let's listen."
Smiling and shrugging, Wang Bingbing looked at her boyfriend with pleading eyes, shook her head, and then retracted her hand with a smile.
In the embarrassment of Zhang Lin's feet digging into three rooms and one living room, his voice kept talking on the car speakers.
[The allusion of the Beacon Fire Opera on the Princes comes from "Historical Records of Zhou Dynasty". It tells the story of King Zhou You, the most entertaining young man in the pre-Qin Dynasty, who actually used the power of the entire state machine to put on a large-scale lighted fireworks reality show - the Beacon Fire Opera on the Princes.
So what's going on?
In 779 BC, King You of Zhou attacked the state of Bao and got a beautiful woman named Bao Si as a trophy.
Bao Si, who was very favored, gave birth to her son Bo Fu a year later.
King Zhou You made Bao Si the queen and Bo Fu the prince.
This Bao Si had a very magical characteristic, that is, he never smiled. King Zhou You tried various ways to make Bao Si laugh, but all failed.
A minister came up with a bad idea and said, Your Majesty, please take the Queen to Mount Li, and we can light the beacon fire!
So King Zhou You rushed to Lishan Mountain with a group of people and lit the beacon.
The beacon fire was originally designed to transmit information over long distances. The princes who saw the beacon fire thought that the capital was in danger, so they rushed to the foot of Lishan Mountain at starry night. However, when they arrived, they did not see any military intelligence warning, which made the allied forces of the princes panic. The face is incomprehensible.
However, what was even more inexplicable was that Bao Si, who had never laughed before, actually started laughing with joy when he saw the thousands of people sweating and looking confused on their faces.
In order to see Bao Si's smile again, King Zhou You continued to light the beacon fire.
In the end, even if King Zhou You ordered the entire Lishan Mountain, no one would come.
At this time, another pair of important characters in the story appeared, namely Shenhou, the former father-in-law of King Zhou You.
