119 Business comes to the door
After returning to the room, Chi Fei first took a wooden bucket outside and fetched most of the bucket of water, and then washed his hair and wiped his body in the house.
In ancient times, in fact, the common people rarely bathed every day.
Because it takes a lot of firewood to heat a large tank of water, it is usually just a matter of wiping the body and soaking the feet.
Only on important festivals or special days will you deliberately boil water for bathing.
After wiping himself up, he brightened the oil lamp a little, then picked up the two notebooks and looked at them one by one.
These two books are highly recommended by Zhang Quanshui, saying that they are guaranteed to be wonderful, and they will ask them for something else after he finishes reading.
One is called "Zhang Anping's Bandits", and the other is the famous work "Golden Lock" written by the famous 'Caotang Scholar'.
Anyway, it is okay to read any book first, Chi Fei picked up "Zhang Anping's Bandits" casually and slowly flipped through it.
Chi Fei has always read books very quickly, and some inconsequential places are even passed by at a glance.
There are a total of 32 chapters in this "Zhang Anping's Bandits", each of which is about 4,000 words, and a total of about 12 or 130,000 words.
In modern terms, it can only be regarded as a novella.
As the title of the book says, it tells the story of a bandit.
The whole story is probably about the fact that near a certain county seat, a group of bandits suddenly came one day.
The bandits took a fancy to a hill near the side of the road, and from then on they occupied the mountain as the king and robbed the passing traders, doing all kinds of evil.
Due to the dangerous terrain here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The officers and men made several sorties, but they returned without success.
The father of the protagonist of this book, Zhang An, was originally a trader, and was killed by this gang of bandits while passing through this mountain.
Zhang An, who has been an orphan since then, is determined to avenge his father, so he worships an old monk as a teacher and practices martial arts hard.
A few years later, Zhang An, who had completed his studies, decided to exterminate this gang of bandits and avenge his father.
The next content is to describe how Zhang An made many like-minded friends, and then gathered a large group of people to attack the bandits.
The two sides have come and gone, fighting several times, and each has suffered casualties.
However, the bandits always had a geographical advantage and could not effectively combat them.
Just when Zhang An was in a bitter battle, he suddenly remembered that his old monk master gave him a bag before he left, so that he could open it when he had nothing to think about.
Zhang An opened the bag and saw that it was a clever plan left by the old monk for him to defeat the enemy.
Zhang An was overjoyed and acted according to the plan.
He pretended to retreat and let everyone swagger away.
The bandits were very happy to see the attacking strongman gone, and gradually relaxed their vigilance.
But they didn't expect that a few days later, Zhang An quietly came back with everyone when it was dark.
Zhang An told everyone to ambush near the cottage, and then sent a subordinate who was good at concealment to sneak into the cottage.
After all the thieves had gone to sleep, the subordinate who was good at concealment set fire to the warehouse where the grain was stored and the horse stall according to Zhang An's instructions, and took the opportunity to cut open the door of the cottage.
The thieves, who were awakened, saw that the granary and the horses were in flames, and they didn't even bother to put on their clothes, so they hurried to put out the fire.
Zhang An, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led all the horses into the cottage and caught the bandits off guard.
After a night of fighting, Zhang An and the others finally succeeded in exterminating this group of bandits.
Because of his meritorious work in suppressing bandits, Zhang An was appreciated by the imperial court afterwards and gave him an official position.
In this way, Zhang An, who became an official, has since become a winner in life, living a rich life with a group of wives and concubines, big fish and meat.
Seeing this, Chi Fei couldn't help but ask: What about the others? Why didn't any of the friends who helped the protagonist fight and kill?
Shouldn't the one who took the most credit for sneaking into the cottage alone? Why, it's just like that when you run out of people?
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is mean enough, right?
After becoming the emperor, he also made those old men who had been fighting with him for many years marquis, although he later killed a large number of them. But at least people did reward it.
This big brother Zhang An is too unkind, let others accompany you to fight and kill for so long, some people even lost their lives. As a result, after your old man became famous, others did not say that they were blessed and shared, and they did not even give money.
After reading the book, Chi Fei was powerless to complain.
Feeling that it was still early, Chi Fei simply opened another book of "Golden Lock" and read it.
Looking at this, a strange smile rose in his heart, how could this feel so familiar?
The protagonist Zhang Yulang is a son born in a wealthy family, who has been extremely smart since childhood, can read and write at the age of three, can recite poems in five characters, and is known as a prodigy in the local area.
What's more, he was already successfully admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, and he deserves to be a prodigy.
As Zhang Yulang grew up, people found that he was not only good at reading, but also more and more outstanding in appearance, which could be said to be better than Pan An.
When Zhang Yulang just turned sixteen years old, he successfully passed the Juren examination again, and the scenery was infinite for a while.
In the second year of Zhang Yulang's success, a veiled daughter threw a sachet on the street, which happened to be seen by Zhang Yulang passing by. He immediately picked it up, chased after him, and returned it to the young lady.
When the young lady saw him, she couldn't help but be amazed at how handsome the man was. After talking to the other party, I was even more impressed by the other party's style. After returning home, Miss Qianjin began to be obsessed, thinking about him all day long, and sent people around to inquire about him.
When asked what the characteristics of this son were, the young lady only remembered that his surname was Zhang, and that he was not only extremely handsome, but also had a small gold lock hanging from his belt.
The subordinates searched for a long time and couldn't find anyone, because Zhang Yulang had just turned sixteen years old at this time, and he was rushing to the capital to take the entrance examination and prepare to take the Jinshi examination.
Due to accidentally being caught in the rain on the road, Zhang Yulang was infected with wind cold and fainted on the road.
Fortunately, there were a few carriages passing by on the road, and it was the daughter of Lord Shangshu who sat in the carriage.
Seeing Zhang Yulang who fainted on the ground, Shangshu's daughter was photographed by his appearance, and couldn't help but marvel: There is such a handsome man in the world. So he hurriedly called for someone to carry him into the carriage and healed him.
After Zhang Yulang woke up, he knew that he had been rescued by Shangshu's daughter, and he was grateful.
After seeing Shangshu's daughter herself, she was even more captivated by her beauty and character, and fell in love at first sight.
At this time, Shangshu's daughter had also fallen in love with the handsome and extraordinary Zhang Yulang, and she secretly agreed.
This time Lang had the intention of having a concubine, and a pair of young men and women were attracted to each other, and finally couldn't help but make a private decision for life.
The two exchanged love tokens, and Zhang Yulang handed over the gold lock he had hung around his waist since he was a child to Shang Shu Qianjin, and Shang Shu Qianjin gave his family heirloom jade pendant to Zhang Yulang.
The two sides agreed that after the end of the examination, Zhang Yulang sent someone to Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage.
After arriving in the capital, Zhang Yulang deserved to be a natural talent, and passed the examination smoothly and became the first on the list.
Next, in the palace examination, Zhang Yulang's articles and appearance were praised by the emperor, and he was appointed as the champion.
After becoming the champion, Zhang Yulang kept his promise and sent someone to Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage.
Only then did Lord Shangshu know that his daughter had already made a private agreement with Zhang Yulang for life.
Although Yu Li did not agree, for the sake of Zhang Yulang's talent, Lord Shangshu finally agreed to this family business.
Just as Shangshu's daughter was happily preparing for her wedding, her cousin came to congratulate her.
This cousin was born in a scholarly family, and she is a well-known talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Her appearance is even more embarrassing, and she is known as the first beauty in Beijing.
While helping her cousin prepare for her wedding, she unexpectedly saw a small gold lock.
She hurriedly asked about the origin of this golden lock, and Shangshu Qianjin told her how she and Zhang Yulang met on the road and how they privately decided their lifelong experience.
After hearing this, the cousin went back in a panic as if struck by lightning.
When I returned, I fell ill the next day.
It turned out that this cousin was the daughter who fell in love with Zhang Yulang at first sight.
In the past six months, she has been looking for her sweetheart, hoping to see him again.
She never expected that her sweetheart would become her cousin's fiancé, which made her devastated, and she had nothing to love.
After her cousin fell ill, Shang Shu's daughter was very worried and visited her many times.
However, this cousin's condition continued to worsen, and she was getting thinner and thinner day by day.
Her family visited famous doctors for her, but to no avail, and she was about to disappear.
Until a miracle doctor appeared, who, after checking his cousin's pulse, told his family that she was suffering from lovesickness.
If you can't fulfill your wishes, you can only prepare for the future.
Only then did the family know the cause of her cousin's illness, and hurriedly asked her who she was lovesick about.
However, no matter how much she asked, my cousin was still reluctant to say.
Shang Shu's daughter suddenly remembered that her cousin fell ill the day after seeing the golden lock that Zhang Yulang gave her.
After calling everyone away, Shang Shuqianjin secretly took out the golden lock and asked her if the lovesick person was the owner of the golden lock?
Seeing that the matter was exposed, my cousin finally admitted it in tears.
Since then, the truth has been revealed.
Shang Shu's daughter went back and thought about it for several days, and finally made a decision.
She discussed with her cousin's family and asked her cousin to marry Zhang Yulang with her. Only in this way can my cousin's life be saved.
Seeing that the daughter was about to disappear, the family finally agreed.
And Zhang Yulang, the new champion, was also moved by his cousin's deep affection for him, and also agreed to the marriage.
After the news spread, everyone praised Shangshu Qianjin's profound righteousness.
When the emperor learned of this, he also specially ordered to reward Lord Shangshu, saying that his goddaughter was well-organized.
In this way, Shangshu's daughter married Zhang Yulang along with her cousin.
Since then, Empress E's daughter Ying, serving a husband together, has become a good story.
Since then, the book has come to an end.
After reading the whole story, Chi Fei only had one thought: this is a proper male version of the story of Mary Su, and it is not an ordinary crisp.
This male protagonist was not only born in a rich family, but also a prodigy since he was a child.
For others, it is difficult to ascend to the imperial examination, but for him, it is completely unlikely.
What kind of talents, lifters, champions and the like, you can get it in your hands on the test casually.
looks even more like Pan An, no matter which daughter sees him, she will be fascinated by him.
You see, people don't have the heart to flirt with their sisters, but they are too handsome and talented, so the girls are all crying and shouting to marry him, what can he do?
Even the cousin Miss, who is known as the first beauty in the capital, is so eager to marry him that she even suffers from lovesickness.
Fortunately, Shangshu's daughter understood the righteousness and took the initiative to propose the trick of Empress Nuying, so that her cousin, who loved him to death, finally had the opportunity to marry him.
Others also think that Shangshu Qianjin is doing a good job, and sure enough, this is the temperament of the grandmother.
So even the emperor couldn't help but give a reward and achieved a good story.
Hehe, a good story is a ghost, Chi Fei even saw that the goosebumps were about to fall out.
Also, why did the protagonist go on the road alone and get to the point of fainting in the rain on the road? Isn't he a young master from a wealthy family, and there are no scholars or servants around him? This bug is also too obvious.
Can you sell more than one or two copies at this level? And it's so popular that people rush to buy it?
Chi Fei said that he couldn't understand the tastes of these people at all.
Well, he admits that this book does satisfy the YY of the dicks.
The male protagonist is full of royal spirits, no matter where he goes, as long as he is a beautiful girl, he will fall in love with him when she sees him, and she loves him to death.
He is also a champion, and he has a bumper harvest in love and career, what is this not a winner in life?
It's just that for an old bookworm like him, it's a bit disgusting to watch.
He also worked part-time as an online writer for a few years, although most of the things he wrote ended up on the streets.
A lot of people start trying to write because they like it. It's just that only a few people can hold on, and most give up as they write.
No matter which line it is, it's actually a pyramid.
Of the people who can persevere, only a very small number of people have become great gods and have made a lot of money.
Below the big god is the middle god, and below the middle god there are small gods.
Although the small and medium-sized gods are not as good as the big gods, they are also quite good.
Often, this group of people will gradually become professional writers, just like the great gods. There are a little more than the gods, but not too much.
The largest number is a niche writer like him who is neither popular nor completely unwatched.
This part of the population is the most numerous and basically makes up the middle and bottom of the pyramid.
For them, writing doesn't make a lot of money, but it's more or less an income.
So most of these people are part-time writers, with formal jobs during the day and part-time writing at night, and Chi Fei used to be such a person.
For Chi Fei, writing for him is not only a part-time job, but also a hobby and pursuit.
After a few years of training, he has already seen that he can't become popular anyway, so it's better to just write what he likes.
While entertaining yourself, earn some extra blocks by the way.
As an old bookworm, in fact, he is the first reader of the work, and if he can't even read it himself, it will only disgust others if he sends it out.
If he can't write something that satisfies him, he'd rather put it in the computer and dust it than send it out.
It's better to be a little persistent.
After reading the two scripts at once, Chi Fei suddenly had a strong impulse, an urge to write.
He wanted to see if what he had written could be accepted by the times.
