Back at the county government office, another group of people had already arrived waiting.
After all, maintaining the operation of the county government is a big deal, and it is impossible to send everyone out to greet Fang Zhengyi.
However, everyone still made some arrangements in advance, and two rows of people lined up at the door to welcome them.
As soon as Fang Zheng stepped into the door, everyone immediately cheered, and started shouting "welcome home" and so on.
Naturally, he was also very pleased, but as his eyes wandered, he spotted a familiar face.
Fang Zheng raised his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Master Wu, long time no see?"
Wu Sheng had a smile on his face and bowed slightly; "I haven't seen you for a long time. Wu Sheng is relieved to see that he is well."
Fang Zhengyi also smiled and raised his arms and said, "Everyone should go back and do their own business. There will be more time to meet each other in the future." Then he turned to look at Wu Sheng, "Master, what are you busy with these days? Is there any new work coming out?" ah?"
Wu Sheng smiled slightly and said modestly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm not afraid that the master will laugh at me. I'm writing a book now."
"Write a book? What kind of masterpiece?"
When asked about the book, Wu Sheng's expression showed a little embarrassment, obviously he couldn't let go in front of Fang Zhengyi.
After all, he was an official before, and now that Fang Zhengyi is an official again, he feels that what he writes cannot be put on the stage.
Ao Chen walked up beside him, with excitement in his tone: "Master, Master Wu's work this time is incredible."
"A strange book! It's simply a strange book. Everyone in the county doesn't like to read it. It combines ethics, love and hatred, suspense, action, and wonders. It's all-encompassing."
"Oh?" Fang Zheng became interested, "There is such a strange book, what is its name?"
"Zhu Yanlei!"
Hiss~ I feel very perverted when I hear this name. Taoyuan County is very culturally deviant. This kind of thing won't bring bad luck to the children in the county, right?
As soon as Fang Zheng opened his mouth to ask, Ao Chen asked first: "Master Wu, the work should be about the next story now. What is the next chapter about?"
Seeing his appearance, Fang Zhengyi's curiosity became more and more intense. Ao Chen was a serious person, and even his interest was so strong. This shows how toxic this book is!
Seeing Fang Zheng's curious look, Wu Sheng could only cough dryly: "We already have the outline. It's about the love-hate entanglement between spirits and princes and nobles."
Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio? Nothing special!
Fang Zheng curled his lips secretly.
This trace of disdain was keenly captured by Wu Sheng!
No one in Taoyuan County can look down upon him, but he cannot look down upon him, Wu Sheng thought to himself.
Then he stroked his beard and slowly began to tell: "This story is not a simple story about ghosts and ghosts. I dare say there is absolutely no such story on the market!"
"Please speak!" Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.
"To put it simply, this story tells the story of a mermaid princess and a prince falling in love in the Dragon Palace. The prince went fishing and unexpectedly fished the mermaid princess ashore. The mermaid transformed into a human form, but was naked and wrapped in a fishing net."
"The prince was seduced by the beauty of the mermaid at a glance, and the mermaid also fell in love with the prince at a glance. Unfortunately, the fish tail would emerge soon after the mermaid left the water. In order to be with the prince, she drank the elixir of the Dragon Palace and transformed into a human form for a long time. .”
"It's a pity that after drinking this medicine, I can no longer speak, and the court cannot allow a mute commoner girl to marry into the royal family. The prince wants to marry a mermaid for the sake of love, regardless of worldly obstacles."
"Unexpectedly, the imperial master discovered the clues and used the elixir to break the mermaid's illusion. But the mermaid was no ordinary person. Because he had magical power, only one fish head was changed back. The prince was shocked Then he chopped off its head with a knife."
Fang Zhengyi and Ao Chen both fell into a daze.
Especially Fang Zhengyi, his mind was in a state of confusion, and he was afraid that Andersen would jump out from somewhere with a knife.
Seeing their reactions, Wu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "It's just an ordinary story so far, the excitement is yet to come."
"Since the mermaid has magical power, of course she is not afraid of mortal weapons! The mermaid is actually an octopus, and its head is an illusion of one of its claws. The reason why the mermaid was killed by the neck is to escape with the prince!"
"The mermaid had already asked Prime Minister Turtle to inform the prince of the plan in private, but she never expected that Prime Minister Turtle would be a step slower!"
"When the prince found out that he had beheaded the one he loved with his own hands, he was so distraught that he drew his sword and killed himself!"
"When the mermaid woke up from the suspended animation, she found that her lover was dead, so she blew up her meridians and died in love. They were both buried at the seaside, and finally turned into scallops and lived together... What do you think, sir?"
Mermaid Princess Juliet and Scallop Prince Liang Shanbo?
What the hell is this? !
Fang Zheng's entire face turned red from suppressing it, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Pretty good..."
Ao Chen didn't think there was any difference, he was mesmerized by what he heard. After the emotion passed, he asked curiously: "Why is the princess in the Dragon Palace a fish? Shouldn't it be the Dragon Girl?"
Wu Sheng sighed leisurely: "That will be the drama of human relations in the next season."
"So it turns out that everything is linked together. Master Wu is indeed a great talent!" Ao Chen was filled with admiration.
Fang Zhengyi: "..."
After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he reached into his arms and groped for a while, then took out a bunch of stuff and handed it to Fang Zhengyi.
"Sir, this is so that this story can be performed in the theater in the future. I also specially customized the props."
Wu Sheng gently shook the lump away. Fang Zheng felt his scalp numb for a moment when it was completely revealed!
Wu Sheng was still talking to himself: "This fishing net wrapped around the carcass must be particularly tempting, so I found a tailor to customize this fishnet coat. Because the tailoring skills are not very skilled, I only made two pieces at first. Legs, but they look pretty good, just right for me to have a sneak peek."
"I call them fishnet stockings. Although no one has worn them yet, I dare say that they will become popular in Xueyue Tower in the future!"
"..."
Fang Zheng walked up to Wu Sheng silently, stretched out his arms to hold Wu Sheng's shoulders, and said solemnly: "I have a master, it's like having an arm! You should create with peace of mind in the future. If there is any trouble in life, , be sure to tell me, and I will solve it for you!"
Wu Sheng's old face broke out into a smile, and he excitedly held Fang Zhengyi's arms: "Master, do you understand too?!"
"Understood!" Fang Zheng nodded heavily: "This is truly a shocking work, and you will definitely leave a name in the history of the (building) in the future!"
Wu Sheng's heart was full of satisfaction. He could find a close friend in his life and die without any regrets!
Fang Zhengyi suddenly changed the topic and asked doubtfully: "Master, why are your hands shaking?"
In the peripheral vision just now, his right hand holding his arm was trembling slightly.
Wu Sheng let go of his arm and took a look and said, "Oh, I've been writing too much lately. Books in the county are mostly written in vernacular, which has a lot more characters than classical Chinese."
"In addition, readers are always urging me, and some people even sent razors to their homes... I kept working on the manuscript, and then I got to the root of the problem. It's not in the way. I need more attention from the master."
"How many words do you write a day?" Fang Zhengyi asked.
Wu Sheng thought for a moment: "More than four thousand to less than five thousand. This is a chapter chapter, and each chapter costs more than two thousand. Now I am afraid that two chapters a day cannot satisfy the readers. I want to write more, but my body ...Oh, it’s really difficult to be sincere.”
"Hey~ What a big deal this is!" Fang Zheng glanced at Ao Chen and whispered: "It's four thousand five hundred words, can't it be divided into three chapters?"
There was a trace of panic on Wu Sheng's face: "Isn't this a fake? What if someone discovers it? I will be hacked to death!"
"You only read the chapters, so who can count your words? People are all fastidious!" Fang Zhengyi had a smirk on his face.
Wu Sheng suddenly realized: "Ahem...Thank you for the advice!"
"Okay, go and do your work, Ao Chen and I have more important things to talk about!"
