Chapter 263: A Letter from the Little Princess of the Empire
"Brother Su Wen, my name is Zhao Si'er, I am eight years old this year, I live in Kyoto, I have just entered the second grade of elementary school, and I am a little girl. I love listening to stories, but my mom and dad are busy with work and don't have much time to tell me stories. Fortunately, I have an older brother who loves me, he is in the first year of junior high school and often reads stories to me. When I'm older and can read more, I don't need him to read it, I just read it myself.
"A few days ago he took a newspaper and told me the story of "Snow White", I think Snow White is so pitiful, she has no mother, and she is bullied by her stepmother, but fortunately she met seven dwarfs, had friends, and finally the prince saved her, and the two lived happily together. I love stories like this the most, and how I envy her for having dwarfs as friends. By the way, if only I had a queen's magic mirror, then I would be able to know who is the most beautiful person in our Huaxia. Of course, I wouldn't use it for anything bad, I just want to know. Because I have a sister who always says that she is the smartest and most beautiful person in the world. I don't believe it, but she says that women who are smarter than her are not as beautiful as her, and women who are prettier than her are not as smart as her.
"Well, let's not talk about my stinky sister. Let's move on to the story. "Snow White" I pestered my brother to read me three times before he would go to sleep, and he was very impatient and said that he would not tell me stories in the future. But he lied because the next day he told me another story called Cinderella. Not only this, but later he also talked about "Sleeping Beauty", "Thumbelina", and "The Ugly Duckling".
"I love to listen to these stories, because I always fantasize that I can be that happy girl. It would be nice if there were more stories like this. I am very grateful to the author who wrote these stories, and when I found out that it was Brother Su Wen who wrote it, I admired you very much and wanted to invite you to my house. It would be wonderful if you could tell me a story on the spot. But then I started hating you again!
"Why hate you? Because the story behind you makes me very unhappy! I won't talk about "The Emperor's New Clothes", because the story is not beautiful at all, and besides, the current emperor of our Chinese Empire is not so stupid. So I don't think this story is believable at all. The reason I hate you is because you wrote Little Red Riding Hood and The Little Match Girl.
"Little Red Riding Hood is such a lovely girl, wearing a red hat, so beautiful and beautiful, how can you bear to let the wolf eat her? Even her grandmother was eaten. You are so bad that you scared me so much that I don't even dare to wear a little red hat now, for fear that a wolf will suddenly jump out and eat me! I'm starting to hate you because I have a lot of red hats from my older siblings, uncles and aunts. It's pretty, but I don't even dare to wear it now. It's all your fault!
"What I hate the most about you is "The Little Match Girl", how can you write like that, she ran out to sell matches on a snowy day is already very pitiful, you also made her lose all her shoes and run barefoot on the snow, and she lit matches and saw those things that she usually couldn't get...... Woo, see here. I cried.
"But you won't let me go! The little girl is so miserable, you actually wrote her to death in the end! She froze to death. Starved to death! Woo, when I think of this, I want to cry now. I was crying so much that my brother said I was going to cry and faint. He said he was going to settle accounts with you and beat you up for making me cry. It was I who persuaded him to dispel his anger, so he didn't trouble you. Brother Suwen. How can you thank me for helping you like this?
"I thought of a way for you to thank me, and that was to change the endings of Little Red Riding Hood and The Little Match Girl so that they could be as happy as Snow White, okay? We live so well now. It's so nice for everyone to be happy, why do you want such a tragic ending? Right?
"My brother said let me write what was in my heart and he would have a way for you to see it. I'm writing it down now, and I hope you'll write back to me after reading it. Or after you have revised the ending, I will ask you to come to my house as a guest, and you can tell me in person. Is that good? ”
This is a letter that a little girl is selling cute throughout.
It is a letter from a reader published in the Kyoto Life Newspaper, placed under the latest chapter of the Suwen fairy tale as evidence of the importance that the newspaper values to its readers.
However, on the author index column, this reader named Zhao Si'er filled in the information but was a little princess of the empire!
The current emperor has many children, and he has the youngest daughter, who is lovely and intelligent, and is deeply loved by her subjects, and her name is Zhao Si'er!
In other words, this "Letter to Su Wen" was written by the little princess of the empire!
Although the power of the Zhao royal family in today's Chinese Empire has been reduced to the minimum, they are after all the nominal national representatives of Huaxia, and the royal enterprises in control still have a lot of weight in the economy, and there are traces of them in all major industries of the empire.
And, after all, it is royalty, representing the highest honor.
Therefore, when the little princess of the empire sent a letter to the author because of a fairy tale issue, the "Kyoto Life" newspaper did not dare to slack off, and even published the letter without Su Wen's consent for the purpose of hype.
According to them, their life newspaper will publish some readers' letters, showing that they value the opinions of readers. This is the norm and not unusual.
What surprised everyone was nothing more than the identity of the little princess of Zhao Si'er's empire.
When this issue of the newspaper was transferred to Su Wen's hands, after reading the letter, he couldn't say a word except for his mouth wide open.
On the contrary, Ma Junwu was even more excited than Su Wen after reading it, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "God, Su Wen, this is a letter from the royal princess to you, that is to say, your articles have entered the eyes of the royal people!" ”
Su Wen pouted: "It's just a fairy tale work, and the other party is just an eight-year-old girl." ”
Ma Junwu said enviously and hatefully: "That's also amazing, okay, that's the royal princess!" Boss Su, she asked you to change the fairy tale ending, what are you going to do, change it or not? ”
"Don't change." Su Wen's position is clear.
Ma Junwu stopped talking for a while, he is also a small literati, so he naturally knows what it is like to be asked to change his article. Besides, he has also read Su Wen's fairy tales, and "Little Red Riding Hood" is good to say, mainly to educate children not to trust strangers easily, change the ending, and give her a happy ending, there is nothing wrong with it, it is not impossible.
However, if "The Little Match Girl" is changed to a happy ending, will it still make sense? Its power comes from her tragedy, and if it is changed to a comedy, it will be almost like garbage.
understands and understands, Ma Junwu is still a little unwilling: "Boss Su, Zhao Si'er is a princess, she said that if you change the ending, you can invite you to her house as a guest, isn't that the palace?" Being able to enter the royal family, what a great publicity opportunity for you! ”
Su Wen's heart moved when he heard this, and he bit his lip, seemingly, as if, this is a shortcut to improve his literary status? (To be continued.) )
