Wen Bai paused for a moment and spoke slowly:

"Miss, has anyone told you these stories?"

"Oh, these are just my imagination, and some of them are from other books. I wrote them together."

Wen Bai nodded, sat down, and started writing again.

In fact, it is impossible for the Wang family to have such things as storybooks, but they have no shortage of classics, history, and collections of essays.

After the two of them finished writing down the outline of the story, Wang Jinyi recalled plots from several novels and slowly began to tell a complex but fascinating story of revenge.

.The protagonist is Chen Jialuo, who has the personality of Wei Xiaobao.

A peculiar beginning, a strange appearance, a messy cast of characters, and distinct personalities. Wang Jinyi revised the story as he spoke, and sometimes people's names were often mixed up. However, with the constant reminders of the literary and vernacular versions, he got back on the right track.

Gradually, Wenbai began to correct Wang Jinyi's choice of words, and even reminded Wang Jinyi which characters were about to appear, or that a certain hero used an abrupt move that was different from the previous one.

The progress was smooth, and the basic structure of the story was finalized in just one hour.

When Zhu Yu stood outside the door and reminded the young lady that it was noon, Wang Jinyi stopped her narration.

Wen Bai asked:

"Miss, why don't you talk?"

"Mr. Wenbai, today's time is up."

"Miss, I'm fine. You can continue writing."

"Sir, can we chat for a moment?"

"Miss, please go ahead."

Wen Bai put away his writing desk and sat respectfully facing Wang Jinyi.

"Sir, I need help with something."

"Miss, I am a government slave. I am afraid there is not much I can do. I cannot leave the city."

"Sir, I need someone to help me in the city. For example, I need to negotiate and sign a contract for the future publication of the storybook. I need someone to help me do these things. What do you think?"

"Thank you for not giving up, Miss. Wen is willing to help you sincerely."

Seeing the little girl suddenly fall silent, Wen Bai didn't know what to do next and coughed twice.

Wang Jinyi was perfecting the next plan in his mind when Wen Bai stood up.

"Miss, ma'am."

. Wen Bai raised his voice.

Wang Jinyi came back to her senses and said with a smile:

"With you joining us, my storybook will definitely be a bestseller in the future. It will be better than what I wrote myself."

Literary and colloquial salute:

"I don't deserve it, miss."

Wen Bai said leisurely:

"Miss, you have a rich imagination. I am not worthy of it."

Wang Jinyi thought about it and wondered if this was a sarcasm. Let him be. Let’s just look at the “efficacy”. Wait and see. If this book becomes a big hit and I count the money, should I give you some of it then?

When Wang Jinyi thought about this, he felt that there were gains and losses, so he stood up and sent Wen Bai out of the main hall.

When they reached the corridor, Wen Bai asked the young lady:

"Will we still have this time tomorrow?"

"Mr. Wenbai, is that okay?"

"Okay, miss."

The two of them decided on the time for recording their scripts every day.

Wang Jinyi has a capable assistant!

This time, the schedule is basically full from morning to noon.

Thinking that he could only use the time before dinner or before bed, Wang Jinyi planned that some things had to be put on the agenda.

. So he took Zhu Yu and Wu Mei back to the room. This time, Zhu Yu was much more reliable. He showed the same attitude as when he entered the mansion, and was ready to teach Wu Mei the rules. When Wang Jinyi saw this, he reminded her:

"Zhu Yu, go ask Qing'er if there is a ready-made document of family rules?"

Wang Jinyi watched Zhu Yu leave, thinking that the nanny had to be sent away too. Oh! It's really not easy to do anything!

Wang Jinyi thought to herself: I can’t be surrounded by a group of scattered people!

Wang Jinyi sat on the couch and took a look at Wu Mei who had been staring at him intently.

Wang Jinyi knew that Wu Mei always thought of herself as a child and suspected that she just had a childish mentality, but as a servant she had to listen to her master.

In that case, let's start with small things and test Wu Mei's ability and loyalty.

“Sister Wu, change into casual clothes, don’t draw attention to yourself, and go out to do two things.

First, go to Tai Sheng Rice Shop and observe all the employees in the shop for me. The more detailed the better. And record their performance. Can you do it?"

After a pause, he said:

"Second, I will find the residence of General Cao. His first wife is called Chang Xiang'er. I will learn a little bit about this family and observe their house. Whether I heard it indirectly or heard it from somewhere hidden, I want to know more information about his family.

I don't care what you do, but one thing is, your whereabouts must be kept secret, never reveal your whereabouts, and report any news you have.

Do not cause any unnecessary disputes. Stay safe! "

Wu Mei took a step towards Wang Jinyi and said,

"Miss, this is a job for a spy, not a maid."

Wang Jinyi did not shy away from it. He raised his head and looked directly into Wu Mei's eyes.

"Yes, can you do it?"

"Miss, you can do this, but you should work in groups of two so that you can cover each other."

"Do you want to recommend someone, or do you want me to match you with a partner?"

"Miss, I do want to recommend someone. But it's not in accordance with the rules. The master should appoint someone."

"Okay, you go alone for now, I'll think of a way next."

"Miss, I want to ask if I can ask my family or someone close to me about the situation at General Cao's home."

"Please explain it more clearly."

"Miss, my father was a soldier in the palace,"

"I know this. Is it recorded on your indenture?"

“Miss, the city garrison is under the jurisdiction of the garrison commander, and there are also soldiers from the city who join the army, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the garrison commander.

My father left the garrison to become a soldier in order to take care of the family. I think it would be easy for my father to find out about the simple things in General Cao’s family.”

"Sister Wu, I don't want anyone to know that I'm investigating the Cao family. You must keep it a secret! Don't tell anyone about what I asked you to do, including your father.

I can get information from your family members, but I can't let anyone discover your purpose."

"Miss, I understand. Miss, I'll leave now, okay?"

"Go to the accounting office first, Qingyu."

Wang Jinyi picked up a pen and paper, quickly wrote a note, and handed it to Wu Mei.

"Give this to Qingyu, then leave the house carefully, and return as soon as you are done. Be sure to stay safe. Go!"

Wu Mei held a small piece of paper two fingers wide, as if she had something else to say, and walked out.

Wang Jinyi now felt that he urgently needed a mature and trustworthy bodyguard. After thinking it over, Wang Jinyi couldn't figure out where to get one.

Where can I find such a person? I have no idea.

Wang Jinyi is not the only one who has racked his brains.

Hundreds of kilometers away, in Xunnan County.

Chen Sanlang was also unable to resolve his worries. Ever since he saw the author's pen name that day, he had been racking his brains.

These days, he insisted on going to Xunan County every other day, in order to read books for free and make a little money.

Chen Sanlang traveled regularly between Chenjiazhuang and Xunnan County. His two elder brothers, who were doing corvée labor to repair the river bank, were about to return, and the family didn't even have extra money or food, so how could these people live?
