The Second Dragon of February raised its head.
Although the holidays in the Tang dynasty lasted for ten days, there were many other holidays, such as New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Cold Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and so on.
The Second Dragon of February was also a legal holiday in the Tang dynasty. It was a two-day holiday. On this day, the people of Chang 'an were excited because the Mo family's Mo Skill Exhibition was about to open.
The Mo family's Mo Skill Exhibition had been promoted continuously by the Mo family, and it had already become a hot topic in the city. Whether it was the small hole imaging, the young man with great strength, or the secret skill of the Live Fish, which was about to be announced, they all attracted the attention of the people of Chang 'an.
In this era, there were no entertainment programs. The places where adult men played were either brothels or gambling houses. Where had they seen so many strange things?
When the sun just rose, many people had already gathered outside the Mo Skill Exhibition.
Those who came early were not in a hurry. They spent a few coins to eat steaming hot buns and waited patiently. Next to the bun shop, a newly opened restaurant had already been renovated.
In the private room of the restaurant, Zi Yi looked at the sea of people outside the window with dissatisfaction. She could see the whole scene of the Mo Skill Exhibition from here.
"Young master is too much. He didn't say anything when I asked him. He just had to wait until today!" Zi Yi pouted and said.
Behind her, Master Yu said with a kind face, "Young master has no choice. This is the most important opportunity to promote the Mo family's village. If something goes wrong, all our efforts will be in vain."
"Wait here. You'll see everything in a while!" After comforting Zi Yi, Master Yu went downstairs to inspect his restaurant again. He hoped that nothing would go wrong today.
"Master Yu! Where is Meton? "Li Gaoming, no, Li Chengqian walked in with several people! Master Yu asked.
When the Mo Skill Exhibition started, Meton knew that there would be a lot of people, so he asked Zu Mingjun and Li Gaoming to watch in this unopened restaurant to avoid crowding.
"Young master is preparing inside. He said that a private room has been prepared for Young Master Li! " Master Yu greeted Li Chengqian with a smile. At this moment, he did not know that Li Gaoming was the current crown prince.
Suddenly, Master Fish froze and looked in disbelief at the people behind Li Shimin. He knew every single one of them. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and His Highness Duke of Qin, for whom he had once personally made fish, who was also the current emperor, Li Shimin.
"This commoner …" Master Yu said fearfully.
"Your Majesty is visiting incognito today. Don't make it public!" Qin Qiong stepped forward to stop Master Yu from bowing.
"Yes, yes!" Master Yu said hurriedly. He looked at Li Chengqian's and Li Shimin's faces, which resembled each other. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked. It turned out that the person who was so courteous in front of him was actually the current Crown Prince.
Master Yu led Li Shimin to a private room with the best view, bowed, and left.
"Where's that little catfish?" Li Shimin asked curiously as he looked at the sea of people outside the window.
"Not only is that little catfish not here, even my stinky brat is nowhere to be found. He's probably preparing!" Qin Qiong looked left and right, but could not find Qin Huaiyu.
Right at this moment, the sound of a gong woke everyone up. Everyone couldn't help but look curiously at the stage that had been set up in the center.
The Mo Skills Exhibition was about to begin!
A youth dressed in black slowly walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the crowd.
"Welcome everyone to the Mo Family's Mo Skills Exhibition. I am Meton!" Meton said slowly. His voice was not loud, but it could easily spread throughout the entire venue.
Moton had already considered the effects of sound amplification when he had started the construction of the Moton Skills Exhibition. Looking at the many primitive loudspeakers in the hall, Moton revealed a slight smile. The effects were not bad.
"He's Mo Jiazi!" The audience exclaimed. They had heard of Mo Jiazi's reputation for a long time. Previously, Mo Jiazi had led the Secret Technique of Living Fish to bring great wealth to the Mo Family Village. He had saved five thousand people and entered the Imperial College with five wins and one loss. Even now, Mo Jiazi's three poems from the frontier fortress were still circulating in Chang 'an City.
They did not expect Mo Jiazi to be such a delicate and pretty youth.
"He's Mo Jiazi?"
Among the five people, other than Li Chengqian, none of them had seen Meton before.
Li Shimin looked curiously at Meton. It was this youth who was like a catfish in Chang 'an City. From time to time, he would come up with new tricks and surprises.
"Father, he's Meton!"
Li Chengqian replied solemnly. Li Shimin could jokingly call Meton a little catfish, but as a friend, he could not call Mo Jiazi that way.
On the high platform, Meton looked around and said slowly, "A thousand years ago, the Mo Family was one of the prominent schools of learning. Now, the Mo Family has declined to the point where there's only a village left. The Mo Family has reached the point of life and death. "
There were many knowledgeable people in the audience, including students from the Imperial College. Many people were here to watch the show. Hearing this, they could not help but sigh. The once prominent Mo Family had fallen to such a state. It was really puzzling.
"If the Mo Family does not change, it will inevitably be buried in history and become a record in the history books. However, I believe that the decline of the Mo Family is not to be blamed. It's because the Mo Family is conservative and can't keep up with the times. "
Many of Mo Jiazi's brothers, who were maintaining order, could not help but feel sad. The Mo Family used to have a strict confidentiality system. Once it was discovered that the secret techniques of the Mo Family were leaked, it was a serious crime.
"Today, the Mo Family is not conservative and closed. Instead, they are reforming and opening up. They will no longer keep the secret techniques of the Mo Family to themselves. They will share them with the world. Next, let's take a look at the first secret technique of the Mo Family, Small Hole Imaging! "
Meton turned around and waved his hand. A huge black cloth slowly pulled up in the southeast. The entire Mo Family Exhibition Hall was instantly darkened. A small hole in the middle of the huge cloth revealed a ray of sunlight. It shone clearly on a white cloth behind it. A clear figure appeared in the small hole.
"Wow!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Behind the black cloth, Qin Huaiyu and the other two were happily changing their silhouettes. At first, it was various human silhouettes. Then, it was various animals. Every time they changed their silhouettes, it would cause the audience to exclaim.
Soon, the sun rose a little higher, and the performance of the small hole image came to an end. This was also the reason why Meton chose to start the Mo Family Exhibition Hall at this time. It was because the sunlight at this moment was the most suitable.
"This time, the Mo Family Exhibition Hall will be on for three days. The small hole image will be opened to the public. Everyone will have the opportunity to understand the secrets of the small hole image."
Modun's words were met with cheers from the audience.
"Looks like this little catfish is serious!" In the box, Li Shimin sighed.
"Such a big change, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult. If it succeeds, the Mo Family will be able to pass on its legacy. If it fails, the Mo Family will become a nobody." Cheng Yaojin hit the nail on the head.
