Rumors continued to spread in Beijing, but the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and the people's attention was distracted a lot.

The imperial court rested again, and there were corresponding poetry parties, tea parties, wine parties, flower viewing parties and other gatherings in various places in Beijing.

The river outside the city began to be controlled in sections, preparing to hold a dragon boat race, many applicants, and the people were also prepared early, and it was necessary to go to participate in Qu Yuan's sacrifice and play a few dragon boat games by the way.

Fu Yuchen is a lively person, he has already made an appointment with his friends to watch the dragon boat race, just waiting for the time to go out as soon as the time comes, and said that he will go to participate in the cultural meeting halfway through, and gather with the old classmates of Guozixue, and the return date is difficult to determine.

In addition, Fu Fuzhong, like other families, drove his subordinates to sprinkle and clean up all over the house in the morning, smoked wormwood, hung calamus, and steamed horn dumplings, and everyone had to take a medicinal bath, and the festival atmosphere was not strong.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Fu Xuechen woke up naturally from a sleep, but when he woke up, he found that Fu Yuchen ran away early in the morning, and Xie also took Fu Rushuang out to a tea party at an unknown house, but Jingbeihou was still at home, but he also made an appointment with friends, maybe when his friends arrived, he would also go out.

Fu Xuechen was depressed, if it didn't coincide with the Dragon Boat Festival, and the teaching department was also busy, maybe Xie Shi had found a female master who could teach her guzheng at this moment, then she could start to get in touch with and recognize the ancient music scores at this moment, and wash away her shame that a talented girl who could even play the piano in later generations was forced to become tone-deaf.

Or follow Xie and Fu Rushuang to eat melons and watch the scene of the ancients on a blind date, which is also very interesting, but unfortunately Xie feels that she is still young, far from the age of looking at others, and it is not suitable to be involved in it, so he refuses to take her with him.

So what should she do? Fu Xuechen recalled it well, and found that the original owner's way of spending the Dragon Boat Festival was very simple, not much different from usual, reading books, practicing calligraphy, and occasionally interacting with his boudoir partner.

The ladies of each family can hold all kinds of parties with hidden blind dates, and the ladies of each family can actually initiate invitations and invite their acquaintances to their homes to play.

Just when Fu Xuechen had nothing to do and didn't know how to pass the time, the eldest girl Furong sent her two fragrant posts, one was sent by Fu Xuechen's best friend, Chen Wei, the second daughter of the Hou Mansion in Zhenxi, and the other was relatively fresh, which was sent by Cui Xiaoyue of the Hubu Shangshu family.

Fu Xuechen has the impression that Chen Wei is a girl with a round face and apricot eyes who looks very blessed, the same age as her, and especially likes to talk to her.

Fu Xuechen has a good impression of the original owner's best friend, but she is not the original owner, and it is inevitable that she will be weak in the face of the original owner's best friend, so she has been estranged a lot recently.

Cui Xiaoyue quickly became familiar with it after the last spring harvest, before that, Cui Xiaoyue, as the second generation of Wen in the literati circle, had never had a good water with a martial artist like her, and rarely interacted with her.

Therefore, Cui Xiaoyue gave her this invitation post, and even the maid Furong felt strange.

Fu Xuechen thought about it for a while, but he was still not sure about facing the original owner's best friend Chen Wei, so he first imitated the original owner's handwriting and tone and replied politely to Chen Wei's invitation, saying that he would invite the other party to play back after his leg injury recovered.

Cui Xiaoyue's side is the first time that a second-generation noble girl in the literati circle has thrown an olive branch to her, a descendant of martial arts, and it is really difficult to refuse, but Fu Xuechen knows that Cui Xiaoyue can invite her, most of them because she can sing fresh tunes.

Thinking about it, Fu Xuechen finally excused himself to accept the invitation of the noble girl in the martial arts circle, and he refused Cui Xiaoyue politely, and apologized that there would be a next time, and there would be an invitation.

Fleur took the reply she had written, and was speechless for a while: "Hasn't Miss been out for the past two days?" ”

What can I do? Fu Xuechen is also depressed, women have to report to the family when they go out, the invitation post received is the credential, the housekeeper will equip her with a carriage and horse to go out according to the identity of the inviting party and the meeting place, and if the road is farther, it will also be assigned to the family guard, the personal maid will follow, and even take the grandmother.

In this era when it is particularly unsafe for girls to go out alone, these are the protective measures that wealthy families take for girls in their families, which can prevent girls from being abducted, robbed, and deceived to the greatest extent.

That's why Fu Xuechen was nostalgic for those days when he could go out at will with Fu Yuchen's identity, without having to bring so many followers, and he would go out when he said he would go out, and he would find an excuse casually.

Fu Xuechen wanted to go out, but instead of playing, she went to see her own bookstore, these days she has written a specific plot outline of the first part of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and by the way, she also found two new good seedlings from the manuscript, if it weren't for the restoration of the identity of a woman now, according to her previous habits, she would have used Fu Yuchen's identity to go directly to the bookstore.

Thinking of the bookstore and Fu Yuchen, Fu Xuechen couldn't sit still, and called Furong to help him redress herself, put on the men's clothes she had lost in the closet, and dressed up as Fu Yuchen again.

Fu Chuanyi was in the study, and was entertaining himself by playing chess games in his spare time, when he saw his "son" burst in like a gust of wind: "Dad! I want to go out, will you let me out? ”

"Didn't you go out early in the morning?"

After Fu Chuanyi finished speaking, he looked up and found that he was looking at him with a smile in front of him, where was Fu Yuchen! It is clear that Fu Xuechen is pretending to be a man again, but fortunately, this time it is not to enter the palace to accompany the reading, Fu Xuechen did not deliberately imitate Fu Yuchen anymore, there is a slight difference in facial features, eyebrows and eyes, and it is more beautiful and delicate, so Fu Chuanyi can recognize it.

Fu Chuanyi had a headache: "What are you doing?" It's all over! What do you want to do when you're still dressed like this? ”

"Dad, I'm not going out to play, I have serious business!"

Fu Xuechen told his father the purpose of his trip to deal with the follow-up business of the bookstore, although she is the real new owner of the bookstore, but it has always been "Fu Yuchen", and it takes time to buffer if she wants to change it, and suddenly take over the bookstore as a female owner, which is very inappropriate at such a busy time as the Dragon Boat Festival.

What she said was reasonable, and Fu Chuanyi was used to her success as Fu Yuchen for two months, so he couldn't stand her repeated requests, and finally agreed.

"It's okay to go out like this if you want to, but be sure to bring a little guy with you, and try to go home when you're done, and don't hang out outside." Fu Chuanyi advised: "Just let Fu An follow you!" Yuchen went out this morning, bringing another of his attendants, Fu An was originally resting today, so he had no choice but to stop him from being idle first. ”

"Got it!" Fu Xuechen nodded again and again, and said happily: "I know that my father loves me!" ”

Fu Chuanyi glared at her helplessly, and sure enough, someone called Fu An and explained a few words to him, nothing more than asking him to take care of Miss Xiao and so on, Fu An solemnly agreed.

Before going out, Fu Xuechen asked Furong to take out the reward money and give it to Fu An: "It's rare to have a day of rest, and let you run errands because of me, you can take these rewards!" It's kind of compensation for you. ”

"Miss Xie!" Fu An smiled in response, and did not look reluctant.

He is one of the people in the know of the exchange of brother and sister, and he has followed Fu Xuechen to do a big deception in the past two months, but he is used to the little master in the family, and even because of admiration, trust, and the protection of his own responsibility, he loves Fu Xuechen even more in his heart.

This feeling is quite complicated, so complicated that he has thought that in the future, if Fu Xuechen marries, if he asks his family to give birth to a child as a dowry, I am afraid that instead of being unwilling, he will be secretly happy.

"Let's go! Go to the bookstore! Fu Xuechen let Fu An take all the words and manuscripts, and went out of the house with a little high spirits and happiness, which was different from the past, this time many people in the house knew that their young lady disguised herself as a man and went out to inspect the shops under her name, and when she passed by, she all had a smile on her face, either secretly funny, or crying and laughing.

Hongchen Bookstore, the store is crowded.

The wonderful books that have been coming out for a whole month have unconsciously made it well-known in the literati circle, and the comfortable bookstore environment has attracted literati who like books to like to visit their homes when they have nothing to do.

Every time a new episode of the classic books of the same series is put on the shelves, it is equivalent to starting another round of the literati's happy rush to buy, and even this happiness is not limited to literati, even booksellers from other places, as well as storytellers who make a living by telling stories in teahouses and teahouses, also know that there is such a bookstore with special books, and they frequently come to the door to buy.

The so-called "No. 1 Book Building", which covers a larger area on the street and has a more magnificent decoration, is gradually deserted, and the shopkeepers and men in it can often only stay in the shops where the flow of people is getting thinner, and sit in the city of sorrow.

It's very relieving! Fu Xuechen even received the suggestion of the shopkeeper Liu of his own bookstore, and he could start preparing funds in an attempt to eat this "first bookstore".

In ancient times, Fu Xuechen didn't know much about how to operate in order to merge and acquire other bookstores, but fortunately, she didn't need to understand as the owner, these things could all be handed over to the trusted deacon shopkeeper to handle, she only needed to learn to read the accounts and audit the accounts and provide funds and major direction decisions.

Satisfied to see that the bookstore was operating normally and full of vitality, Fu Xuechen made a slight round, and then walked through the back door on the first floor and directly entered the courtyard behind the building.

The yard has been renovated and renovated, and there is a large jujube tree, under which there is a complete set of tables, chairs and tea sets, and the sun shines on the tree, which becomes a good place to talk with customers about business.

The shopkeeper Liu Yu handed over the affairs of the store to his nephew for the time being, followed up the yard by himself, and actively put on a clean tea cup for Fu Xuechen, and made good new tea.

Fu Xuechen didn't talk nonsense, took the screened new script from Fu An's hand, and handed it to Liu Yu.

"Both of these new manuscripts are very good! You can sign the deed with them. Fu Xuechen said: "The new words should be printed as soon as possible...... The other manuscripts are not as good as these two, and you can choose some of them to sign the script alone, and you are not in a hurry to sign it. ”

Liu Yu is the first reviewer of these new manuscripts, he took the manuscript and looked at it: "If it is really these two people, in fact, these two people are not newcomers, in the world, these two people are famous, but their traces are quite ethereal and difficult to find, so I have never heard of a bookstore where they have a fixed cooperation." ”

Oh! In other words, these two people heard the reputation of their own bookstore, so they came to the temptation to submit?

"Can you sign someone?" Fu Xuechen couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yu didn't dare to pack the ticket: "It's no problem to sign the script alone, but the person who signed it ...... Only 70% sure. ”

Fu Xuechen looked at the two manuscripts in his hand again, one of which was similar to reasoning to solve the case, the background was an ordinary citizen in Beijing, who was involved in a case because of various coincidences, was arrested and interrogated several times, and was released due to insufficient evidence.

Another fusion similar to the legend of Liaozhai and the legend of the White Snake has both ghosts and foxes, as well as traditional parental shortcomings, as well as a thought-provoking feeling.

Fu Xuechen prefers the one who writes reasoning, his writing is more straightforward, and he relies on the clever plot structure to win, and the Zhou Chong's writing signed by the bookstore earlier is not as plain as his, but it is his simple writing, but it is closer to most of the networks in later generations, not nonsense, and directly on the story.

As for the one who writes about feelings, the writing is more beautiful, and there is a feeling of reverberation when reading, but at the same time, the structure of his articles is very traditional, and the words and sentences in some places are inevitably obscure and obscure, and I can't understand them without any writing level.

Fu Xuechen knocked twice on the draft of the reasoning and solving the case, and said, "Try to sign this one." ”

"Got it!" Liu Yu agreed, but said with a smile: "The certainty of being able to sign a cooperation contract is as high as ninety percent, and in a vernacular like this, I'm afraid that except for us, no one else will dare to sign a cooperation with him easily." ”

He asked, "Do you need to specify their pen names and commission them?" ”

Fu Xuechen shook his head: "No need!" The pen name is taken by them, and when there is no task, they can write whatever they want and when they want to write, they are all up to them, anyway, the guaranteed monthly salary is only paid for three months, and if they don't continue to create, there will be no follow-up monthly salary. ”

Fu Xuechen took out the detailed outline of Xianjian Yi again: "Give this to He Ci and let him write this." ”

"The old slave can be saved!" Liu Yu carefully took the manuscript and solemnly put it away.

Fu Xuechen gossiped casually: "The Legend of the White Snake was finished at the end of last month, why don't you be idle lately?" ”

"It's a little idle." Liu Yu said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Mr. He also came to the shop to ask, if there is a new task down, at that time the old slave also said that there is no new news, Mr. He was slightly disappointed, but the Dragon Boat Festival is coming in the past two days, Mr. He is busy participating in the organization of the book master meeting, and this task will have to wait for the day after tomorrow to be entrusted to him at the earliest." ”

"The Script Master also has a literary meeting?"

Fu Xuechen was surprised, in this era, don't look at the scripts everywhere and are very popular, but the status of the scripts is very low, although there are also many talents, people or for interest or for money are willing to write the scripts in person, but no one is willing to reveal their true identity, they all use pen names.

In this case, can there still be a book teacher's literary meeting? These literati who hide their heads and write scripts dare to organize a literary meeting to show their heads? Aren't you afraid of being teased by people knowing your true identity?
