I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Sun family

Sun Xiucai's face was ashen.

He looked at the newly delivered Liuzhou tabloid on the table, and saw the man named "Mr. Gongyang" saying "peculiar", "novel" and "immersed in it", and felt a burning pain on his face.

He knew Mr. Gongyang, who had written several "Collections of Deceptions" and published them in the "Liuzhou Tabloid" because of his amazing deceptions, clever words and sophisticated characters. Therefore, some of the scholars he knew spoke highly of him, and even Xie Juren even praised him in private.

But how could the other party speak for Fu Wenyu?

It's obvious that Fu Wenyu is just a young boy!

Sun Xiucai thought for a long time, spread out his paper and pen, and began to write quickly. He felt that the article written by 'Mr. Gongyang' was accidental, and the other party would not always speak for Fu Wenyu.

So in the next month, a war of words took place in Liuzhou tabloids.

Sun Xiucai is worthy of being a scholar, and his articles are better than Fu Wenyu's. Therefore, those who criticize "The Legend of Zhen Niang" contain profound meanings upon careful reading, and some words and phrases are even more shocking.

But Fu Wenyu is not without the ability to fight back.

He first wrote two "Tap Water" articles using the trumpet "Mr. Gongyang". One of them talked about how good "The Legend of Zhen Niang" was and how novel the setting was. It was worth reading. In another article, I wrote about another play to confuse the situation.

At the same time, his tuba was not idle either.

'Fu Wenyu' also wrote an article, saying that he wrote "The Biography of Zhen Niang" in the hope that there would be no more "Zhen Niang" in the world, and that he staged the drama to let more people know about it. He did not know why Sun Xiucai wanted to embarrass himself.

The reason why he said this was not because he was afraid of Sun Xiucai.

It's because Fu Wenyu doesn't have any fame now, so he can't act "aggressive" and point at Sun Xiucai's nose and scold him, "You're just jealous of me", lest some old-fashioned people think he's arrogant, which will affect his reputation. . So I had to adopt two attitudes. The big one said, "If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow." The small one just started scolding.

So in the end, Fu Wenyu wrote several articles under the trumpet "Yin Yang Scholar".

The "Scholar of Yin and Yang" said that Sun Xiucai had "hidden evil intentions", "He was the one who wrote "The Story of the Green Hairpin"", "The reason why people don't read "The Legend of Zhenniang" was to make "The Story of the Green Hairpin" make more money", "He had evil intentions" "Idiosyncratic", "bad intentions", etc. Because the articles of "Yin Yang Scholar" were delivered through shopkeeper Zhang, it didn't matter if people found out that this trumpet was related to Kaiyuan Bookstore. At most, it would make people think that Kaiyuan Bookstore was not angry and asked someone familiar to speak for them.

In this way, Sun Xiucai's reputation will be affected.

Anyone who has read the "Liuzhou Tabloid" recently knows that there is a "Sun Xiucai" who was jealous that more people watched the drama "The Legend of Zhen Niang", so he deliberately smeared it.

What's more, in the end, the new Jieyuan Liu Changyan also came to an end. He wrote an article praising the play "The Legend of Zhen Niang", saying that it was "a worthwhile trip", "a lot of benefit" and "a great kindness".

It's so heavy that it arouses curiosity.

As a result, "The Legend of Zhen Niang" was sold out, and the children's song "Digging Wild Vegetables" spread throughout the streets and alleys. At the same time, of course, no one watched the play "The Story of the Green Hairpin" and no tickets were sold.

After learning the news, Sun Xiucai became angry.

Fu Wenyu: "..."

This is too inexperienced. His trumpets three, four and five haven't played yet.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed loudly, "Wen Yu, you still have a way. I was thinking that if Sun Xiucai wouldn't let go, I would ask someone to write an article for you, but I didn't expect you to solve it yourself."

After initially seeing an article criticizing "The Legend of Zhen Niang" in a Liuzhou tabloid, he was indeed worried for a while and thought about whether to find someone to write an article to refute it. Unexpectedly, before he could come forward, Fu Wenyu came over with an article, and then the articles continued until Sun Xiucai had nothing to say.

Shopkeeper Zhang's biggest role was to use his own connections to prevent the Liuzhou tabloid from making any further moves. The matter was resolved simply like this.

Fu Wenyu didn't expect it to be so simple.

However, in addition to his role, Liu Changyan, as the new Jie Yuan, also made great contributions. After all, as soon as his article came out, basically all the scholars in Liuzhou did not dare to openly speak for Sun Xiucai.

This also made Fu Wenyu feel the benefits of fame, and he studied harder. After coming out of Kaiyuan Bookstore, he went to Liu's house to give a gift.

In the next few days, Fu Wenyu and Tang Yuan went out to meet several people.

Those are those who no longer intend to participate in Liuzhou tabloid affairs, so they must sell their shares at a good price. Tang Yuanwai bought most of it, while Fu Wenyu got 5%.

In addition to the two of them, Fu Wenyu also learned that Liuzhou Tabloid's shares are currently divided into eleven shares.

Ten percent was given to the prefecture government office. Tang Yuanwai now has 15%. As the only two candidates in Liuzhou City before, Liu Juren had 10%, Xie Juren also had 10%, and Xiao Juren had 10%. The husband had 20%, and two businessmen, three bookstores, and two independent people shared the remaining 30%.

After the dust settled, Mr. Xiao also came back.

He didn't seem surprised by the result and accepted it calmly.

When Fu Wenyu and Zhang, the shopkeeper who represented Tang Yuanwai, joined forces with several other victims to sue Yang Shusheng, who had been deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and asked him to leave Liuzhou Tabloid, he sighed.

"I didn't expect this."

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Then a few days later, Fu Wenyu heard that Yang Shusheng had left Liuzhou Tabloid.

Then Mr. Xiao came to the door in person and asked Fu Wenyu to hand over "The Story of Zhenniang" to Liuzhou Tabloid, saying that he would make proper arrangements.

Fu Wenyu thought that he had received Mr. Murong's illustrations and arranged for someone to copy them, and the ordinary and hardcover versions of the storybook would be printed soon. As for the Beijing Tabloid, although the storybook was also serialized, the capital was relatively far away, and it was a good thing to have another publicity channel, so he agreed.

Fu Wenyu didn't pay attention to how Liuzhou Tabloid would reform next.

Because he had more important things to do.

After a period of practice, and with the guidance of Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe, the "drama crews" in the village have taken shape, and the several scam dramas have been rehearsed in a very realistic way.

For this reason, Fu Wenyu specially asked someone to build a high platform in the large courtyard at the entrance of the ancestral hall to prepare for the screening.

Fujia Village

"Hurry up, hurry up, oh why are you so slow, there will be no place if you are late!"

"Come on, come on, dad, wait for me."

"Mom, walk slowly, brother Wenyu said that all the old men and women over 60 years old in the village have reserved a place. Not only are you in the front, but there are also stools to sit on, don't worry."

"Found it, found it, it's here."

There was a lot of chaos in the front, basically everyone in the village came to watch, a huge crowd. And the backstage was no less lively. Although there were only five scams, there were more than one group of people for each scam.

At the beginning, every household came to join in the fun.

Then they gradually discovered that although it was free to stage this play and only required some effort, not everyone could stage it. Some were of the wrong age or gender, some had weak legs as soon as they got on stage, and some forgot their words while speaking. In short, it was no easier than farming.

So some teams were disbanded later, and the existing ones also went through some personnel adjustments.

But in this way, more people came to watch the play.

Fu Qingshi was lying behind the curtain and looking forward. He couldn't help but smack his lips. "Are there so many people in our village? Maybe even people from other villages have come?"

Standing next to him was the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced Fu Qingqi. He put his hands in his sleeves and his eyes were shining. "It's true. I saw the guy from the next village. His daughter is sitting on his shoulders!"

"We were naked together back then, and now his daughter is so big."

"Damn it, when I get rich this time, I will also marry a wife!"

Fu Qingshi and Fu Qingqi also participated in the rehearsal, and they performed in their true colors. They specially found the group of people who were deceived at the beginning, and rehearsed behind closed doors for a whole month. Now they are ready to go.

As he was looking around, he suddenly heard Fu Wenhe shouting, "Draw the lot, draw the lot."

"Listen up, uncles, brothers, aunts, and sisters. The one who draws the first place will be the first to go up, and the one who draws the second place will wait over there. Don't mess around, whoever messes up will be put at the end."

At this time, the village chief Fu Wencheng in front also stood on a table and shouted loudly: "Everyone, this is a big event for our Fujia Village, a great thing."

"Wenyu has already discussed with the owner of the Changxi troupe in the city. Five groups of people will be selected and then go to the city to perform, just like the previous martial arts team, to get monthly wages and rewards. When they become famous, there will be a second batch and a third batch, and one day every family will have a share."

"This is a big event that concerns dozens of families in our village, or even everyone in the village!"

"So everyone should choose the best one according to their conscience!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone echoed.

"Yes, yes, yes, choose the best."

"There will be a second and third batch. Oh, I'll have to make those disappointing kids in my family study hard. This time, not a single one of them remembered the words. I'm so angry."

"Village chief, we all know it. Let them start."

"Give the sign to whoever performs well. Remember it."

"Yes, village chief, we are all waiting anxiously."

Fu Wencheng saw that everyone understood, so he looked at Fu Wenyu and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, let's start, starting with the first piece "Night Pearl"!"

Then the curtain opened, and the group of people who performed the play "Night Pearl" and won the first place came on stage one after another.

The audience immediately started to discuss.

"Hey, isn't that bronze?"

"What are they performing?"

"It's about the last time I bought a stone and got cheated. Don't make a fuss. They're starting to perform."

Fu Wenyu in the audience also watched attentively.

Then I saw Fu Qingtong, Fu Qingshi, Fu Qingqi, Zou Sanlang and other people who had gone to Chen County to find jade together before discussing with each other on the stage, saying that they were going to Chen County to make a fortune.

So they packed their bags and set off.

When they arrived at "Chen County", they first asked around, and then came to Jade Mountain, took the "stone hammer" made of wood or bamboo from the manager, raised it high and smashed it on the ground, pretending to be quarrying.

Fu Wenyu: "..."

Remember to remind them not to be so honest later, just pretend.

Then there was the joy of finding jade, and the frustration of not finding it after a long search.

The last group of people said, "Spring plowing is coming soon, we have to go back to farm," and then packed up and rushed home. At this time, Fu Qingshi and others who said they wanted to go shopping left the team...

Fu Wenyu watched silently.

Because it was a true performance, even if Fu Wenyu didn't like Fu Qingshi, the second uncle, and Fu Qingqi, the scoundrel uncle, he had to say that their performance was remarkable. Especially when he found out that he was deceived, Fu Qingshi cursed and cried loudly on the stage, which aroused the sympathy of the audience.

"That liar is really despicable. How could he cheat people?"

"Yes, there was so much silver."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we got it back in the end!"

"Don't talk nonsense about getting it back. The silver they were cheated of was found, but Zhang Sanlang's was not. In the end, Zhang Sanlang went back begging with a cane."

"Look, he's out again, his clothes are torn, and he's holding a broken bowl."

Finally, when it came time to vote, this group was the undisputed first.

Fu Wenyu also threw the stick into the No. 1 box where they were, because among the five groups, their group really performed the best, was the most relaxed, and the lines were closer.

Next, a few more stories were selected.

After "Night Pearl", there was "Fairy Trap", then "Hongmen Inn", "Inferior to Good" and the last one "Porcelain Bumping". The latest "Taoist Alchemy" was too short and could only be put on next time.

No matter how well they performed, the villagers were very happy to watch it.

The only discordant factor was when the "Fairy Trap" was performed, some old-fashioned people were muttering that Yingniang, who played the "beauty", was "showing her face" and "damaging her reputation", etc., and then she was immediately criticized by Aunt Zou, the future mother-in-law of the girl.

"Bah, I think you can't stand seeing my family making money!"

"The people on the stage are either Yingniang's parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and aunts, or her fiancé, my youngest son. Yingniang didn't show her arms or legs, so how can it be harmful to her reputation?"

"As for showing her face, everyone washes their faces before going out? Are you so ashamed to go out and cover your face?"

After a scolding, Yingniang's future mother-in-law held her head high.

You know, from the beginning, she was very supportive of her future daughter-in-law. Because every family has its own problems, like their family, because their ancestors only passed down five acres of land, so they live a tight life. They finally sent their parents-in-law away to raise two sons, but they didn't have a betrothal gift to marry them a good daughter-in-law.

Seeing that the eldest son was about to turn twenty, she and the old man were very worried.

Fortunately, there was a martial arts team!

In just half a year, the eldest son earned more than fifty taels in the martial arts team. Not only did the two brothers get a good marriage, but the dilapidated house at home was also demolished and rebuilt.

But seeing that the money earned by the eldest son was exchanged for a house, and the house would be divided equally between the two sons in the future, the eldest son and his wife did not say anything, but the couple murmured in their hearts.

In the past, according to the rules of the village, if there were only two sons in the family, the eldest son would get 60% of the family property, and then support his parents and arrange funerals for them, while the second son would only get 40%. So at that time, the old couple thought about dividing the family property later, so that they could help the younger son do more work and support him to stand up.

But when most of the family property was earned by the eldest son, it was not fair.

So they later thought that they had to separate the family earlier, and then the old couple would help the eldest son do more work while they were still able to move, so that they would be even.

Unexpectedly, another good thing happened!

Their family knew how much money they could make by following Wen Yu.

So when she saw that the second daughter-in-law's family was willing to make money and Yingniang was also good at acting, she immediately came to the door with a basket of eggs and advised them to insist on it, regardless of what others said.

The money earned is yours!

The money earned by the eldest son is used to build a house for the family, and the money earned by the second son is used to buy land in the future, and then the family will be separated early. This time, the old couple does not have to think about which son to help more work. In the future, they will stay at home to help take care of their grandchildren, and occasionally have a meal of meat. I don’t know how beautiful this life is.

Even if they can only earn for a year or two, there are still dozens of taels.

Not a loss at all.

So now if anyone dares to say that her future second daughter-in-law is not good, she will scold him.

Bah, not a good intention!
