Obviously, Yan Qi's goal of this trip has not been achieved.
With no other choice, Shao Haoyue had no choice but to find another way and take Yan Qi to the mortal world. The mortal world definitely couldn't be Yan Qi's target. If he stayed for a long time, Yan Qi would be anxious and had to reveal something.
In addition, Rongshu Village and surrounding towns and villages are all mortals. Shao Haoyue can also use this to see how mortals live and find some materials for her own fantasy world.
She held up the storybook cheerfully, pretending not to see the flash of anxiety in Yan Qi's eyes, "I used to like listening to you read the storybook the most. With the ups and downs of your voice, one ups and downs story unfolded one after another.
At that time, you loved to sit on the window sill, blocking most of the sunshine and breeze. At that time, I always thought that those wonderful stories were behind you. As soon as you touched your body, I could see the young man wandering around. The rivers and lakes are full of passion; the talented and beautiful are in front of flowers and under the moon; parents and children are in deep love..."
Yan Qi bit her lip and whispered sadly: "I'm sorry, I don't remember."
"It doesn't matter, I just remember it." Shao Haoyue was not sad at all, but comforted her, "What happened happened, and even if we both forget, we can't erase that it happened.
Just like the little people in history, even though there are no records in history books, they have survived so vividly and formed a part of history. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly inserted next to him, "Brilliant!"
The two turned their heads and saw a young man stroking his hands and sighing. His clothes were washed white, his cuffs and skirt were badly worn, his face was very thin, but his eyes were bright and full of energy.
Finding that the two of them were looking at him, the man hurried over and looked at Shao Haoyue with admiration, "Girl, your words are so insightful! Yes, little people are human beings too, and they also have wonderful lives. I want to write a biography for little people!"
"Uh..." Shao Haoyue didn't know how to react. She was just talking nonsense.
The man didn't need her answer, so he kept thanking you: "Thank you so much, I want to write my "Lily's Biography"!"
"Hey, with that crappy book of yours, thank God you can make back the money you spent on pen and ink." A female voice came from upstairs. Looking up, a woman in bright red brocade clothes was leaning on the railing, shaking a fan with her hand, a look of contempt on her face. Unabashedly.
As soon as he saw her, the man became angry and said, "A girl from a boudoir doesn't stay at home and embroiders properly. She is shameless when the sky is shaking outside."
"Ha!" the woman sneered, "all the wealthy ladies are staying in the boudoir, how are your poor scholars going to meet them?"
"You!" The man was furious, and the skin on his thin cheeks actually shook, showing how angry he was.
He pointed at the woman and gritted his teeth: "What you said is reasonable. The prince's powerful ministers don't do anything every day and just hang around your heroine. How come they have so much power? Do you rely on face?"
Shao Haoyue suddenly became interested. After listening to this conversation, the two scriptwriters started to quarrel! She immediately waved to the waiter and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, what's going on with these two people?"
The waiter smiled and said, "You two are not locals, these two are famous storytellers here.
The man's name was Ji Wensheng. He was originally a poor scholar. After many failed attempts, he turned to writing story books. His stories were novel and twisty, and many ladies in the boudoir liked to read them, and they began to sell well. "
There were also many onlookers watching the excitement. Someone immediately took over the waiter's words and said excitedly: "Later, Ji Wensheng's words were read by the third lady of the Shang family, Miss Shang Yufei, and they scolded him for writing. It's unreasonable, it's just the fantasy of a poor scholar, and it will bring bad luck to the ladies in the boudoir.
Miss Shang San is also a talented person. After she was angry, she just wrote it herself. Her novels are even more popular among the ladies in the boudoir, and are now popular among the boudoirs. Now, only a handful of Mr. Ji’s novels have been bought. "
Miss Shang San upstairs also noticed the commotion here. She stopped scolding Ji Wensheng and turned to Shao Haoyue: "Girl, I think you have a talent for writing storybooks. Do you want to learn from me?" Write a storybook and keep it and you will earn a lot of money."
Shao Haoyue thought in her mind. In her world, each of the first batch of transformed people needs to have a complete background and must be intertwined with each other. The storybook is a good reference material.
She said: "My little sister and I are new to your place. Can we read your storybook first?"
Before the woman could answer, several people next to her handed over the script, "I have it right here."
Ji Wensheng was very unconvinced and said: "If you can say that, you must not be a blood-only person. According to Miss Shang San, no one without a noble background is worthy of being the protagonist. Even if she is a maid at the beginning, it will be reversed later. It must be the daughter of a foreign prince or a royal princess left behind!"
"What you said is good enough. A poor scholar with no good looks and no talent will become a wealthy lady. When she sees him, she will cling to him and give him money, people and officials."
The two quarreled again, and the people next to them didn't think it was a big deal, and someone handed Shao Haoyue a storybook written by Ji Wensheng.
Shao Haoyue understood at a glance why Shang Yufei's novels were more popular among women. The male protagonist in her novels was both talented and good-looking, and he was very affectionate at the end. No woman would be confused after reading this.
The two people's words are essentially fantasy, but they have different target customers. Shang Yufei's customer base is mostly boudoir ladies with spare money, so she naturally sells well.
And Ji Wensheng's customer base is those down-and-out men. They are all down and out. Where can they get the money to buy story books? Story books are just for entertainment. Men who can afford story books have no time to deal with this.
While she was reading the script, the two got into an angry argument and vowed to take Shao Haoyue as their disciple to compete with each other.
"I have a question." Shao Haoyue's eardrums hurt from their quarrel. She stretched out her hand to signal the two of them to stop and opened the two storybooks. "Why are these two characters both villains?"
Shang Yufei went downstairs: "She approached the hero for money."
Ji Wensheng looked disgusted: "I dislike the male protagonist for being poor, so I want to break off the engagement."
"That's it?" Shao Haoyue didn't understand and said to Shang Yufei: "The female supporting character in your book has a low status and is about to starve to death. Of course she must make money to survive first."
She looked at Ji Wensheng again, "As a father who loves his daughter, is it wrong to choose a wealthy husband's family for his daughter? Should he sacrifice his daughter's life for a drunken verbal agreement?"
Ji Wensheng spoke eloquently, "A gentleman means what he says, how can he not say what he says because of drunkenness?"
Without waiting for Shao Haoyue to retort, Shang Yufei spat at Ji Wensheng and said, "Girl, you don't know, rotten scholars have many bad things. If you want someone's huge wealth, you have to beg and persuade them. In the end, you don't give up." I reluctantly agree. As for my supporting role, this is my magic weapon to win."
She leaned close to Shao Haoyue's ear and whispered: "If you want the story to sell well, you have to remember this. For female characters, you must meet moral standards, and for male characters, legal standards are enough."
I admit, this chapter contains personal information.
