Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Xiao Hui took his brush, dipped it in ink, looked up at me and asked, "Girl, are we going to continue writing about Zhen Huan today? Or are we going to write a new story?"

I pondered for a moment and asked Ruiyang, "What kind of stories do people in the Great Wilderness like to read? Before we write, we want to see what kind of stories are the most popular?"

As the saying goes, market research comes first. Since the goal is to make money, it is necessary to cater to market demand and write stories that best suit the public's taste.

Ruiyang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then answered me: "Only a few people can read and write. Most people listen to stories told by storytellers or sung in songs or operas. Therefore, stories that can be adapted into songs or operas are the most popular."

When I think about the sets and costumes of Zhen Huan, if they were to be adapted into a play, the theatre troupe would probably have to spend a lot of money, and few troupes could afford it.

He slapped his palm and said, "Then let's change the approach today and focus on writing about them singing the song. This way, they can see that it is related to themselves and will be more emotionally invested when singing, and the effect will be better. The name... let's call it "Du Shiyi Niang's Anger and Sinking of the Treasure Box"!"

Xiao Hui had been listening to me attentively. As soon as I finished speaking, he picked up his pen and quickly wrote a line of words.

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Today's story is really new! It's always been about princesses or young ladies. I've never heard of a story where a singing girl is the protagonist."

I smiled and said, "Everyone can be the protagonist of a story. Whether you can become a protagonist or not depends mainly on whether you can fulfill yourself."

Xiao Hui wrote it down seriously, and I stopped him: "Oh, this is not the beginning, don't write it down! I am just repeating what others have said and writing down what I feel."

Xiao Hui smiled shyly and said, "I think this passage is very good and philosophical. I want to write it down."

I raised my eyebrows and said, "That's fine, write it down if you like."

There was a sudden knock on the door, Ruiyang went to open it, and I saw Senying walking in, so I smiled and said, "Senying, Ruiyang said this morning that you came back in a hurry yesterday and had a headache because of the wind, and you didn't have time to eat breakfast. Here are cakes and hot tea, come and have some!"

Sen Ying stood at the door and took a look. Seeing that we had set up the table, she said, "I was wondering if anyone answered from Ruiyang's room. Turns out they are all here to join in the fun. You guys write your stuff and I'll just listen." After saying that, she walked to the table and sat down. Ruiyang quickly made room for her.

So I told him the story of the treasure chest that sank in anger. Ruiyang sometimes clapped his hands, sometimes got angry, and in the end he even cursed the unfaithful man.

Xiao Wei was so absorbed in listening that she forgot to grind the ink and bit her nails in deep thought. Sen Ying also fell into deep thought and after a while she took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Hui finished writing with a few strokes, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that such a beautiful and smart woman died in the river."

I also sighed and said, "Who says it's not true? 'It's easy to get priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a lover', that's exactly what it means. Sometimes women hope to rely on men to help them escape from their cages or fish out of the sea, but they don't know that it's hard to predict a man's heart. After all the sweet words she said to him on weekdays, by the time she really knows his true feelings, it's probably too late."

Ruiyang joked: "Miss, you are too pessimistic, as if you have seen many unfaithful men! In my opinion, although human hearts are unpredictable, there are still many good people."

Sen Ying also echoed: "I think so too. If she doesn't try, she will never be able to escape from that place of fireworks."

I took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, yes, yes! What you said makes sense. It's always good to have some hope in your heart." After that, I glanced at Sen Ying and saw that she no longer looked thoughtful and immersed in her own sorrow. I felt relieved, thinking that she had finally untied the knot in her heart and walked out of the shadows.

I took out the small seal that Tu Shanjing gave me, pressed it on the paper, blew on it, and said, "It's done! Ruiyang will pass it to Su Zhizhai for me when he is free. Let's wait and see how this experiment goes."

Ruiyang carefully took the few pages he had just written and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first. Girl, it's afternoon now, are we going out or not?"

I laughed and said, "Come out, come out! Your gluttony is about to come out! If you eat the usual dishes in this restaurant at noon, I'm afraid your gluttony will starve to death!"

Ruiyang laughed twice and replied, "Then I'll go back and pack up! Wait for the girl to call me!" After that, he left the room.

I asked Senying, Xiaowei, Xiaohui and the others, "Are you guys going too?"

Senying shook her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I won't go. I still have a headache and I'm afraid of being blown by the wind."

Xiao Wei actually shook her head: "I won't go either. I feel bad after hearing this story. I don't feel like going out to play."

Seeing that she was not going, Xiao Hui also said, "Then I won't go either. I'll chat with Xiao Wei to relieve her boredom until she gets better."

I wanted to persuade Xiaowei again, but suddenly I thought of her blushing face yesterday, so I said calmly, "Okay, leave it to Xiaohui, I'm relieved, you can guide her well, don't get too involved in the drama. Ruiyang and I will go to the street to buy you some new things and delicious food, wait for us to come back."

They both nodded in unison, in perfect sync.

So I found an outer robe, thought about it, and hung the sword that Fenglong gave me around my waist. Having a sword to protect myself can give me courage. If anything happens, I don't have to rely on Ruiyang who is still hanging his arm.

I left everyone in the room and went to Ruiyang's room to find him. He had already packed everything and was just waiting for me to call him.

Seeing me coming, he hurriedly put on a small bag and said, "Girl, let's go now? There is a candied haws stall. If you go too late, you won't be able to get one!"

Seeing him eager to try, like a puppy ready to go before an agility competition, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, you lead the way!"

He rushed out in a flash, and I followed closely behind him, thinking that although this kid's arm was broken, his feet were very nimble.

After following him for a while, they entered a busy market. As expected, there were a lot of people and it was very lively. He waited in line for a long time in front of a candied haws stall and finally bought five strings.

While stuffing the candied haws into my hand, he said, "They only allow you to buy five strings at most. You eat first, and I'll go line up the meat patties over there." After saying that, he swam away from the crowd like a loach.

I took a bite and it was sweet and sour. Suddenly, a boy rushed back and knocked me off balance. I fell backwards but didn't fall to the ground.

A hand held me firmly.

I turned around and saw that it was Tu Shan Jing wearing a snow-white fur coat.

I didn't expect to meet him here, and I was stunned.

He helped me up, his eyes full of concern, and asked, "Are you okay?"

I stammered, "No, it's okay. Thank you, sir."

He smiled, as charming as a plum blossom in the snow, and said, "Why are you so frightened that you stood there in a trance?" Then he narrowed his eyes and put his hand to my lips.

I couldn't dodge in time and he pulled a small piece of sugar residue from the corner of my mouth.

He sniffed it and said with a smile, "It's sweet. How old are you? Why do you stick food on your lips?"

My mind went blank, and I reached out to hand him the candied haws and asked, "Sir, would you like to try some?"
