"I know kung fu." Qi Muyuan's words are always so concise and to the point.

"Huh?" Du Jinning looked at him in disbelief.

"I was taken captive when I was a child, and when I came home, I started practicing martial arts." Qi Muyuan finally explained.

Thinking of what Qi Bokun said, Du Jinning looked at him sympathetically, and couldn't bear to refuse his kindness again: "Okay, you send me back." But you only need to send it to Zhuangzikou, and you can go back when you see someone. "Anyway, it's not far from Zhuangzi.

The two walked in together, and after a while, they saw Zhuangzi. At this time, it was not too late, many people had just smoked from the rooftops, and a few peasants were walking on the ridges with hoes; Some people even drove a flock of ducks from the river in the distance; There is also an old man carrying a vegetable basket, the basket is freshly picked vegetables, two three or four-year-old children running around her, a warm and beautiful pastoral scene.

Du Jinning stopped and said to Qi Muyuan: "Okay, I'm fine, you can go back." Thank you very much. ”

Qi Muyuan nodded, then turned around and walked back.

"Be careful on the road." Du Jinning admonished behind his back.

Qi Muyuan waved his hand without looking back, and walked away after a while.

Thinking that it was not dark yet, there were still some dormitory students in the academy, and the uncle who was watching the gate saw Qi Muyuan, and he would also see him for a while, and then it would be in the city, people came and went, nothing would happen, Du Jinning put his mind at ease and turned his head and went home.

The Du family's new house was in the innermost part of the Zhuangzi, close to the small hillside, Du Jinning walked for a while before he saw the door of the house, and saw Du Fanghui standing at the gate waiting from a distance. She couldn't help but speed up her pace and asked, "Fourth sister, what are you doing standing here?" What's wrong? ”

When Du Fanghui saw her, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly ran over, complaining, "Why did you come back at this time?" Your classmates have come looking for you. ”

"Huh?" Du Jinning was stunned, "What classmate?" ”

She hasn't officially entered the academy yet, and the only people she knows in the academy are Guan Jiaze. Even if other people have a relationship, such as Liang Xiankuan and others, they won't know where her home is.

"It's the one I saw in the market today, the one whose mother sells tofu and dry goods and is forced into debt." Du Fanghui reminded.

Du Jinning suddenly said: "It turned out to be him?" ”

"You asked someone to come, but you didn't see it." Du Fanghui said, "I was about to go out to find you." ”

"Where did you date him? I'm dating tomorrow. Du Jinning said.

Thinking that she was going to discuss things with Guan Jiaze and them today, she told Xu Chengyuan at noon that he would come over again tomorrow night, but she didn't want this guy to be so anxious, so she came here tonight.

"Who's at home?" Du Jinning followed Du Fanghui into the door and asked.

"I called my mother back from the field."

Sure enough, when Du Jinning entered the hall, he saw Chen sitting on the top and talking with Xu Chengyuan. Seeing Du Jinning, Xu Chengyuan hurriedly stood up and called out embarrassedly: "Senior Brother Du." ”

"Why did you come back so late? Your classmates have been waiting for you for a long time. Chen was disgusted, got up and took the things in Du Jinning's hand, and said to Xu Chengyuan with a smile, "Then you talk slowly, I'll go and get busy." ”

"There's Aunt Law." Xu Chengyuan gratefully arched his hand towards the Chen family, watched her leave, and then bowed to Du Jinning again, "Senior Brother Du, I'm really sorry, I, I'm ...... I'm not trying to rush you. It's just ......," he sighed, "I want to learn it as soon as possible, write it out as soon as possible and pay off the debt." ”

"It doesn't matter." Du Jinning was also so embarrassed and eager to use money some time ago - in fact, it is the same now, she really wants to earn back the shackles of the academy before the Chinese New Year, so she hurriedly wrote a book to open a teahouse. So she can especially understand Xu Chengyuan's mood.

"You sit down first, and I'll go get your notebook." Du Jinning said a sigh, walked out to his room and found out Xu Chengyuan's script, and then returned to the hall.

She put the script in front of Xu Chengyuan and sat down.

"You, have you seen it?" Xu Chengyuan looked at her with anxious but expectant eyes.

Du Jinning nodded, thought about the wording, and asked him, "Have you tried this book in the bookstore?" ”

Xu Chengyuan nodded, and said very frustratedly: "Take it, they won't accept it." I only need one or two hundred yuan, and they don't take it. ”

"That's not how it was written." Du Jinning said.

Xu Chengyuan immediately raised his eyes and looked at her, listening carefully.

"When you write a book, you first have to know who you're reading." Seeing that Xu Chengyuan was a little confused, obviously not understanding the words "reading object", Du Jinning explained: "It's the person who reads your book." Who they are, what kind of stories they like to read, and how they write stories. ”

She picked up the notebook in her hand: "Your copy imitates my book "Bad Luck Han Meets Dongting Red", the first two are okay, but you ignore one point, those people who are extremely knowledgeable are either busy being officials or busy taking the imperial examination, and not many people will come to the bookstore to buy your book to read." ”

Xu Chengyuan nodded thoughtfully.

But if you look at what you wrote, the words and sentences are comparable to the "Historical Review", and people with a little knowledge can't understand it. What is it that looks at the picture of the script? It's fun, how easy it is. But looking at your script, you have to study what you mean by this sentence, what is this word, and are you tired? ”

Xu Chengyuan suddenly said: "I understand." ”

At first, he watched "Bad Luck Han Coincidentally Meets Dongting Hong", and thought that it was because Du Jinning had never gone to school and was not good at learning, so he wrote all the vernacular, and he inevitably felt sorry for Du Jinning. Now I know that Du Jinning doesn't know how to write, but deliberately writes so.

"So, I should try to write in the vernacular?" His comprehension is still quite strong.

Du Jinning nodded: "Let those who have only read "Three Hundred Thousand" understand it." ”

"I understand, thank you Senior Brother Du." Xu Chengyuan stood up and gave Du Jinning a deep look.

Du Jinning turned sideways and waved his hand: "In addition, to write a script, you must first have an outline, which is the synopsis of this story, and try to let it have ups and downs and suspense when setting the story at the beginning; At the same time, you should also have a character setting, what kind of background this person is, what environment he grew up in, and what kind of personality he is, you should have a clear understanding. Different people face the same thing, and their choices are different. The protagonist in the book, you have to make him shine, honest and kind, tenacious and intelligent, so that the protagonist will be recognized by the reader, so as to produce a sense of substitution, and feel that he is the character in the book......"

Xu Chengyuan felt that it was like a new door had opened in front of him, he really didn't expect that such an inconspicuous-looking book would have so many doorways. If Du Jinning hadn't taught him, it is estimated that he would not have been able to write a book in his life.

Du Jinning traveled to this ancient time, and it was rare for someone to be interested in how to write a script, so he talked a lot, and saw that it was about to get dark, so he stopped and said: "Okay, let's talk about it first, you go back and ponder it, rewrite this book, and then show it to me." ”

"Yes." Xu Chengyuan stood up and bowed respectfully, "The teacher is above, please accept the student's bow." ”

His grades in Class A of the academy are also excellent, and in the face of a child like Du Jinning who has not yet stepped into the gate of the academy, he will inevitably feel a sense of arrogance in his heart. But after listening to Du Jinning's words, he felt that he had read for ten years, and he was sincerely convinced by Du Jinning.

Du Jinning didn't want to have such a connection with him, got up to avoid his big gift, and said, "I don't dare to accept a student as big as you, and if you spread it, you will be laughed at." ”

Xu Chengyuan's face turned red: "It's me who is abrupt." But I made up my mind that I wanted to treat Du Jinning as a teacher.

"It's hard to walk when it's dark, so hurry home." Du Jinning said.

Although this academy is also in the city, it does not involve the problem of entering the city gate, but there are no street lights on the ancient road, and it is not safe for Xu Chengyuan to go back like this in the dark.

Xu Chengyuan also remembered his mother at home, didn't stay any longer, and got up to say goodbye.

When the two went out, they saw Du Fangfei watering the vegetable patch where the seeds had just been sown in the courtyard. Seeing Du Jinning and Xu Chengyuan coming out, she smiled politely at Xu Chengyuan and nodded, and said to Du Jinning: "It's late, my mother asked you to stay for dinner." ”
