I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Zhen went around and visited the paper mill and printing shop. The paper he made became better and better. He was truly a master.

As soon as I came in, I found that there were nearly a hundred people in the paper mill.

Su Zhen was shocked.

Chun Jiang immediately added, "Princess, the Su family in the capital has sent servants from their families to learn papermaking and printing. They will return in the fall. I heard that the eldest master is planning to open a bookstore and a printing house in the capital, and also a papermaking shop in the small town where his ancestors lived."

Xiao Luo said, "The master said that the Su family is a famous family of scholars, and how could it be successful without a bookstore, a printing house, and a paper mill?"

Su Zhen asked: "How many people did they send?"

"There are six apprentices in papermaking and four in printing. As for the others, 70% were sent by the court, and some were sent here to study after the old master interceded for them. There are six from the family of Grand Secretary Zhou, six from the family of Prime Minister Xie, and six from the family of Prime Minister Li. Half of the people in these three families are young men."

Su Zhen sighed and said, "I will write a letter to the imperial court and ask them to cancel the paper mill and printing house in Baixianzhuang before the first day of June this year."

Several groups of people have already learned it, and she also has to ask for a reward from Master Zu and Master Lu. They have trained so many talents and they deserve the highest reward.

Su Zhen saw that there were many people in these two places and there was no need for him to intervene and help.

Going to the loom group, there were quite a few people here, more than sixty at most, working on the assembly line. More than sixty people were walking around the yard, each busy with their work.

Su Zhen went to the watch shop, where they made telescopes. After they were made, they were not as popular as those in other places, so they just put the telescopes for sale in the shop. The situation was not very optimistic, and only a few were sold in a month.

The watch shop had previously produced watches that were not very accurate, with a difference of several minutes a day, and the error would be too large after a few months.

Su Zhen looked at the wall clocks, pendulum clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches they produced. Wow, a lot of materials were wasted. The blacksmiths and craftsmen worked together to make clockwork pocket watches and wristwatches.

"Masters, don't be anxious. Take your time. You must take your time. Slow work produces fine work. The technical content of this is higher than that of glass and looms."

She looked at the clock drawings made by the masters. There were now hundreds of drawings, and each one was drawn to find common flaws.

"Master, which design of the timepiece has the smallest error in a day?"

The skinny and hunchbacked master chef took out a design and called his apprentice to fetch the prepared timetable.

Su Zhen was not very proficient in mechanical manufacturing. After she looked at it, she compared it with other machines, sketched with a pen, and asked a lot of questions. The master chef's tired eyes lit up from time to time, and he patted his thigh, "Princess, what you said is very true. If we change it like this, we can reduce the error. Now it will be six minutes faster a day. Every time it goes around, we need to wind the spring once. In this way, if we wind the spring once a day, if we improve it further, maybe we can wind it once for two or three days?"

Su Zhen went to the Liyuan. There were disciples busy practicing in the three courtyards. There was a large courtyard full of male disciples, who would often walk out of the courtyard to perform with the female disciples of the Liyuan in the other two courtyards. There was another courtyard full of musicians, including those who played the piano, flute, gongs, and drums.

Su Zhen talked with the musicians and said that the current repertoires were too monotonous, also known as Huangmei Opera. The soul of drama was Kunqu Opera, and the major school was Peking Opera. She thought about it for a long time. "The Peony Pavilion" was a classic repertoire of Kunqu Opera. She hummed a piece of music, typed it into a score on the spot, and wrote the lyrics.

The musician hummed according to the music score.

Su Zhen said: "Huangmei Opera is just a type of drama. Musicians can create their own. For example, the current melody style is completely different from the current Huangmei Opera. There are grand and high-pitched ones, and there are also those with gentle and bright melodies..."

Based on her guidance and suggestions, Chunxiao improved the Huangmei Opera, thus creating a new type of local drama.

The middle-aged musician said, "Princess, what you mean is that we shouldn't stick to one form? Judging from this score, this tune is completely different from the current drama."

"The earlier ones were small schools. This big school, in my dream, the gods told me that Kunqu Opera is called the queen of drama, and Peking Opera is the king of drama, but I only remember this part. I will write the script of the drama later, and you can help to perfect it."

She would have to think carefully about the classic drama "The Peony Pavilion" when she returned. The most important thing was to write a storybook. By publishing the storybook, she could also promote Kunqu Opera and use the excuse of the immortal teaching skills in her dream.

Su Zhen returned to the main courtyard, prepared pen and ink, and took out a blank music score, but she only remembered that one scene, and even only remembered the general plot.

After lunch, she took a nap on the couch. In her dream, she seemed to be sitting in front of the computer, watching the Kunqu opera "The Peony Pavilion" on the Internet, from the plot to the melody and lyrics. The end of "The Peony Pavilion" turned out to be a dream of the heroine, and the heroine on the computer screen that Su Zhen saw was still herself. She was startled and sat up, turned over, took the music score into the Jinzhu space, put it on the desk, and finished it in one go, even the lyrics were marked on the music score with charcoal.

The process was very quick. One hour outside was one day in the space. After three days inside the space, she had completed all the recordings and music scores, and another day to make the script.

After checking and proofreading, she re-transcribed a set. Suddenly, she had a better idea. If "The Peony Pavilion" was directly published in the form of music score and script, more people would learn drama.

She deliberately added the words "Written by Tang Xianzu" on the two books. These books were someone else's works and could not be borrowed. They must be his. As for who wrote them, it must be a god who created drama.

The next day, Su Zhen went to the opera garden and found several musicians. She told them about the opera. She had scripts and music scores, which they circulated to each other. She also gave them music score paper and blank paper to lend them for copying.

The Liyuan was divided into three groups, and the musicians were also divided into three groups. One group continued to rehearse Huangmei Opera, one group was a Kunqu Opera troupe, and one group was a Peking Opera troupe. The three courtyards were readjusted due to different groupings.

Su Zhen felt that the last dream was a little strange, it felt like he had returned to modern times.

This time, I was thinking about Peking Opera. After falling asleep again, I returned to my modern home. I sat in front of the computer and searched for "The Legend of White Snake". After waking up, I began to type the music score and complete the script according to my memory. I even marked some movements in the script.

Sorting, checking, and transcribing, she couldn't explain the whole process of watching the play in front of the computer in the dream, but all the music scores and lyrics were absolutely perfect.

After completing the Jinzhu Space, Su Zhen took the final draft to the Peking Opera troupe, discussed the play with the musicians and apprentices, and then handed it over to the musicians and apprentices to copy, study and rehearse.

Afterwards, she completed "The Injustice of Dou E", "The West Chamber", and "The Palace of Eternal Youth" in the same way, as well as the Peking Operas "Yu Tang Chun", "Mistakes in the Flower Field", and "Flowers Scattered in the Sky", making it evenly matched, with four classic Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera each.
