It turns out that Prince Li and her sister Chu Muxue have been in love for a long time.
However, my sister had other lovers and was unwilling to marry King Li, and because she didn't want to give up the boat, and knowing that her sister was not good-looking and unlikely to be liked by King Li, she asked her to come back and take her place.
King Li came to the palace of Prime Minister Chu to discuss the marriage.
When Chu Muqing was walking in the backyard, he happened to see Wang Li and Chu Muxue talking to each other.
King Li disliked Chu Muqing, but Chu Muxue cried and said that her sister had a hard life and was older than her. If she got married first, her sister would not be able to marry, so she persuaded King Li to marry his sister.
King Li was really deceived and agreed to Chu Muxue's request, but at the same time he wanted to marry and establish a relationship with Chu Xiang.
"This sister is so hateful and shameless. Even if you don't like your sister, how can you let her marry her instead?"
Later, Chu Muqing wanted to buy a treasure, so he went to the Zhenbao Pavilion for an auction while wearing a mask. He taunted the master of Zixiao Palace, and everyone got into a fight in the chaos. The mask Chu Muqing was wearing loosened and fell off, revealing his true identity. His appearance shocked everyone present, and Chu Muqing’s fiancé, King Li, was also among them.
Seeing this, Jian Hang's tense heartstrings moved, and the accumulated anger was released.
On the night of Chu Muqing's wedding, Prince Li mocked her for her shameless appearance and told her to calm down and stop trying to win his heart. Chu Muqing poisoned Prince Li to make him itch all over and soaked him in cold water in the middle of the night.
On the second day after getting married, Chu Muqing and King Li went to attend a palace banquet, but were watched by other princes. King Li was laughed at and vented his anger on Chu Muqing. How could Chu Muqing be willing to suffer a loss, drugging him to make him vomit in public, and stepping on his pants when he ran out in a hurry? A good prince has lost all his face.
"Hahahahahahaha, this idiot really deserves it." Jian Hang laughed out loud at the sight, all the noble master's original reserve was gone.
Nobles have many banquets to add. After Chu Muqing became the princess, she was invited to watch polo. She was just watching, but a group of people encouraged her to play and watch her play.
Chu Muqing agreed and went to change clothes, but when he met an old slave, he exclaimed, "Madam, is that you?"
This ends the second volume.
Jian Hang let out a breath and felt that although this story was absurd, it was not without its merits.
Although it was false, it allowed Jian Hang to see the real person.
The clever and cunning Chu Muqing, the scheming Chu Muxue, and the headstrong and arrogant King Li are all so vivid in her writing, as if they really exist.
This book seems to drag people into another world, completely immersing them in it, and they are a little reluctant to leave when they come out.
It's just that this author is so hateful, and he keeps getting to this point every time.
Who is that slave and why is she called Mrs. Chu Muqing? It was as if he knew her.
"Brother, have you bought the book? What's in the book?" As soon as Jian Tong heard that his brother was back, he couldn't wait to come to his study.
Jian Hang cut off his thoughts, quickly closed the book, threw it aside, and pretended not to have read it.
"I bought it. It's over there. Don't ask me, I don't read this kind of book."
Jian Tong acted coquettishly happily, "Brother, I know that brother is the best."
"Who threatened me last time?" Jian Hang looked at her sideways.
Jian Tongsheng smiled coquettishly, took the book and started reading.
Express your opinions from time to time.
"This Chu Muxue is good or bad. She doesn't want to get married, so she asked the Chu family sister to take her place."
"Hahahahaha Sister Chu really surprised everyone."
"Prince Li is so stupid. He doesn't know that the beauty who amazes him is the Chu family sister."
"These powerful people are so hateful. How can they play tricks on people like this?"
"Don't worry, they will all be taken care of later." Jian Hang answered subconsciously.
"That's good. Hey, brother, haven't you seen it?" Jian Tong raised his head and asked doubtfully.
Only then did Jian Hang realize that he had been exposed and hurriedly made amends, "I didn't do it for myself. I wanted to check it for you first, so as not to let you learn bad things."
"Brother, just think about it for yourself. You want to use me as an excuse. It's true." Jian Tong said unhappily.
Jian Tong continued to read, mumbling.
After reading it, I also lamented, "Why is it over? How long do we have to wait for the next volume?"
"You have to wait seven days." Jian Hang replied.
"Ah, it takes so long!" Jian Tong turned over and over again and saw the author's name printed in the corner of the cover.
Unlike the book's fancy title, the author's name is very ordinary - Yue Ming.
The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown.
.
When Xu Chengyue came to this era, she was caught in the crisis of being forced to marry, and she had little time to grieve.
After escaping and settling in Luoyang, I looked up at the moon, but I often fell into memories of my previous life.
I miss the feeling of being able to go out at any time without worrying about anyone’s eyes.
I miss the takeout that can be delivered to my door with just one order.
I wonder how the two furry children at home are doing. Is it because there is no one to feed them when she is gone?
However, reality cannot be changed. Being immersed in creation can allow her to temporarily forget the real world and draw some comfort from experiences similar to those in her previous life.
In the second volume, a vicious female supporting character Chu Muxue appears.
Xu Chengyue felt very guilty when she wrote about her, but when she thought that this was not her previous life, she became cautious again.
In the era of popular online articles, readers no longer pursue stereotyped villains, and require villains to have character arcs and not just be mere tools. Evil cannot be simply evil, it must have a reason, and the author must arrange a tragic life experience for them. , the process of blackening.
One problem caused by this is that the villains are often fleshed out and more likeable than the protagonists.
The protagonist, who originally took more effort to describe, is positive in everything, but is ignored.
And for a novel, the characters created at the beginning must be clear, good or bad, each with its own characteristics. The arc of the characters and the tragic background must all be reflected later.
.
Logically speaking, with the current sales volume, there are definitely not a few people who have read Xu Chengyue's book. Her reputation should have spread throughout the streets and become a topic of conversation among people, but nothing happened.
The popularity of Shanhai Bookstore has not attracted people's attention.
The city of Luoyang was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened and everything was as it was before. Only the money box in Shanhai Bookshop faithfully recorded everything that happened secretly.
"Kneel down, you treacherous son."
As soon as Lu Hongzhuofu entered the door, he heard his father roaring angrily, and his pace, which was slightly cheerful because of his pride, stopped.
Inexplicably, he has not committed any crimes recently, and he has also put a lot of thought into running his own bookstore.
The profits in the past few days have increased many times compared to usual.
Then why did his father scold him? Lu Hongzhuo was extremely wronged.
"What did I do? My father scolded me like this." He said unconvinced.
"You have the nerve to ask. I've heard from the shopkeeper that you almost sold our bookstore just to please the little lady!"
Father Lu has not seen this boy staying at home for the past few days, working on his pen and ink paintings, and often running out. He thought he had changed his temper and finally knew about the inheritance of his ancestors.
Who knew that he would do such an improper thing? What a misfortune for his family.
The shopkeeper told him a few days ago, but he was busy at the time and finally found some time to teach this boy a lesson today.
"That was the bookstore that your grandfather worked so hard to build, and you just ruined it like this."
"No, my father knows that Madam Xu is a very talented person. If you don't believe me, go check the account books. It is because of her that the profit of our bookstore has increased several times than usual. What my father said is not only an insult. I am also insulting her."
Lu Pengcheng was originally furious and subconsciously felt that the traitor was lying, but seeing his firm attitude, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
"Really? Are you lying to me?"
"Of course it's true. The account book and her books are in my study. If my father doesn't believe me, he can go see them."
"Bring these two things to me and let me see." Lu's father ordered him.
Lu Hongzhuo hurriedly went into the study and took out his account books and books. He was angry and aggrieved, and he was eager to prove his innocence.
Father Lu got the account book in hand. He had been doing business for many years. After flipping through it three or two times, he could see that the profits in recent days had indeed doubled than usual.
Not only was the book Lu Hongzhuo mentioned extremely profitable, but other books were also selling better than usual.
This shows that this book has even influenced customers' choices and inspired other books.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
After flipping through the account book, Father Lu couldn't wait to flip through the book again, wanting to see what kind of article brought about such a change.
Even the slightly ridiculous title didn't surprise him.
Lu's father rebuked his son for being ignorant and incompetent, but in fact he himself was not much better when he was young.
I can't read much into the book, and I deeply hate those who know how to read and write articles that are wordy, and I feel pain when I see the words.
Writing a poem is like killing him, so his cultural level is naturally not very high.
But this book allowed him to read smoothly and immerse himself in it.
After reading it, Father Lu closed the book and fell into deep thought, saying nothing for a long time.
After a long silence, he said, "Son, you still don't see enough of me."
Even he could understand it himself, and what this meant could not be clearer to Father Lu. This means that people with the same level of education as him, as long as they are literate, can even understand the ugly words.
Lu Hongzhuo, who originally thought it would surprise his father, choked up in admiration.
"You are so ignorant that you can sell this book at our house?" Lu Hongzhuo saw his father's attitude and said unconvinced.
"Let me ask you, do you know the last time our family made so much profit?"
Lu Hongzhuo never cared about the management of bookstores. He turned around in his mind but couldn't figure it out.
Then a flash of inspiration occurred, and he said in surprise: "Could it be the poetry collection Mr. Taixuan published last time?"
