The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not
Chapter 134: Renovation of Mingxianglou
It's nothing but a miscellaneous book for exam preparation. The writing style is much better than that book called "Records of Strange Stories in Jianghu".
But miscellaneous books are just miscellaneous books. If Lu Youtian wasn't so happy today, he would have scolded Han Qingyun.
Han Qingyun looked at Lu Youtian's changing expression and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to make Lu Youtian angry.
But recently I saw Lu Yanyan worrying about money. As a man, he always has to find a way to make money.
Writing a book is the way to go with the smallest investment, and you only need to spend some money on paper and ink.
He used to think that Mu Zili's level was not very good, but when he came to him, he realized what it meant to have high expectations but poor skills, and what it meant to have great ideas but find it difficult to put them into practice.
These books are much more difficult than writing articles. I have to write and revise them, and then revise and write again.
It was only after I found the idea in the past few days that I felt like I was writing with divine power.
Lu Youtian flipped through the book in his hand with a complicated expression. It was obvious that the handwriting was written by Han Qingyun himself.
It's well written, much better than "Records of Strange Stories in Jianghu", and Lu Youtian looks a little better.
"Why don't you write the story about the one-armed dragon? That's better than this."
Lu Youtian still prefers that story.
Han Qingyun couldn't say that he didn't want to be a plagiarist.
"That story is too long. It will take a long time to write it."
When he heard that it would take a long time to write, Lu Youtian stopped worrying about whether it was the story of the one-armed dragon. After all, this book was not bad and it happened to be useful for his teahouse.
"Finish this book as soon as possible. Once you're done, don't write any more. Focus on preparing for next year's Spring Examination."
As Lu Youtian spoke, he took the first two volumes written by Han Qingyun and left, saying as he walked away, "I'll take these two volumes and rehearse with the storyteller. Please finish writing them as soon as possible and send them to me."
Han Qingyun reluctantly replied "Okay" and respectfully sent him out. Inwardly, he was still lamenting that his five hundred taels were gone and he would have to rely on his wife for support for another day...
On September 25th, Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan returned to the south of the city.
Tomorrow is the opening day of Mingxianglou. In addition to delivering snacks to the teahouse, they will also come to help.
The teahouse's plaque is in Han Qingyun's handwriting, which he then gave to a craftsman to carve.
The three big characters "Mingxianglou" are vigorous and elegant, and very pleasing to the eye.
Nancheng is a place where scholars and students gather, and many people have asked who wrote the words on the plaque.
The waiter puffed out his chest and said, "My son-in-law won the provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture this autumn."
Mingxianglou has already attracted many people's anticipation because of its distribution of fresh pastries during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and recently the words on its plaque have caused widespread controversy.
Many people who come here because of its reputation also notice the unique decoration style of Mingxianglou, which is refreshing.
The waiter does not hide anything, and guests are welcome to come and see if they want.
On the left side of the door is the checkout counter. On the counter is a booklet called a menu. The booklet is made of parchment and lists different teas and snacks.
The snacks are even accompanied by colorful pictures, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at them.
In addition to the decoration being more down-to-earth than that of ordinary teahouses, the furniture is also different from that of ordinary teahouses.
The tables come in square, round, and even triangular shapes, and the corners are polished very smoothly, so you don't have to worry about getting pricked by splinters.
The chair is even more distinctive, with a curved back, rounded handles, and beautiful cushions.
The cushions are filled with thick cotton and are very comfortable to sit on.
In addition to chairs, there is also a large bench called a sofa, which can seat three or four people, and the bottom and back are covered with brocade.
The brocade is also lined with soft and thick cotton, and is equipped with several backrests, making it not only comfortable to sit on but even more comfortable to lie on.
There are small teapots with unique shapes on the tea table, and each teapot is equipped with a special base.
The waiter explained that charcoal can be added to the base so that the water in the teapot can remain warm.
There are many niches on the walls of the teahouse, filled with wood carvings and porcelain of various shapes.
The walls also feature introductions to the various types of tea produced in the teahouse, including their origin, picking date, stories and legends, along with colorful pictures, making one want to have a pot of tea just by looking at it.
At the innermost part of the first floor of the teahouse is a high platform similar to a theater stage, which is much larger than the storytelling stages in ordinary teahouses.
There is a wooden partition next to each row of tea tables. The wooden partition is made into many empty spaces, and books are placed in the spaces. There are books used for imperial examinations such as classics, history, and collections, and more are storybooks.
The most peculiar thing is that they had basically never seen these storybooks, and they kept asking each other, "Who is Feng Menglong?" "Have you heard of Pu Songling?" "Who is Kong Shangren?"
……
Lu Youtian, Qin Yuru and Lu Xing, looking at the people nodding downstairs, felt more confident about tomorrow's opening.
Lu Youtian was very proud, as most of the decoration was suggested by Lu Yanyan.
The stage is built bigger so that people from the theater can occasionally rehearse plays.
The storybook was dictated by his daughter and he asked an old student to transcribe it.
The story is very novel. Lu Yanyan said that it was in Xiaoxi's space and could not be occupied, so the author had to be written on it.
Ever since Lu Yanyan said that he would hire someone to rehearse the play in the future, Lu Youtian has been looking for that person.
He first learned from the official that last year a third-rank official had his house raided for corruption and his family's opera troupe was sold.
Most of the members of the troupe were bought out, leaving only an old actor and an old musician.
Lu Youtian did not hesitate and bought both of them. He also bought a few teenage boys and girls. He wanted to form his own opera troupe in the teahouse.
But it would take at least ten years of practice to master the singing and body movements, and he didn't intend to spend ten years training an opera troupe.
Han Huaixi occasionally performs some "fairy tale" stories with the children in the village.
Lu Youtian believes that this form of performance will definitely attract people as long as the story is good.
He also hired a teacher from the Half Moon Tower at a high price. He didn't need to teach them how to sing opera, but just taught them how to vocalize, walk on stage, and react on stage.
Now the Lu family's makeshift troupe is rehearsing "Miss Bai Xue", a story that Han Huaixi often performs with the children in the village.
The eldest daughter of the wealthy Bai family was persecuted by her stepmother and forced into exile.
He met seven good friends on the way. With the help of his friends, he fought wits and courage with his vicious stepmother, and finally brought the stepmother who killed his biological mother to justice.
With the help of friends and kind-hearted people, Miss Bai Xue also developed the Bai family dyeing and weaving workshop.
In the end, Miss Bai Xue married the prefect's son who had silently supported her behind the scenes.
Five-year-old Han Huaixi was brought in by Lu Youtian to "guide the work."
Looking at the completely distorted "Snow White", Han Huaixi looked up at the sky in silence...
It was by accident that Lu Youtian changed "opera singing" into a modern stage play similar to a skit performance.
The rehearsal of "Miss Bai Xue" was not yet complete, but the storyteller was already in place on the stage. This storyteller was the old actor bought by Lu Youtian.
In order to prevent Han Qingyun's script from being spread and to keep it confidential in the future, Lu Youtian forcibly transformed an old actor who had been singing opera for more than 20 years into a storyteller.
What the storyteller will tell tomorrow is "The Legend of the Knight-errant" written by Han Qingyun.
The Xie Family Castle, a renowned martial arts family, is suddenly attacked by hundreds of masked masters and collapses overnight. Except for the young master Xie Wuyi who is away participating in a martial arts competition, no one in the Xie family is spared.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Wuyi disguised himself as a beggar and infiltrated the well-informed Beggar Gang. After much investigation, he finally discovered that the murderer who massacred the entire Xie family was actually...
At this moment, the storyteller is on the stage, practicing what he will tell tomorrow.
The people who were originally visiting the teahouse were attracted by the story and listened to it with great interest.
Even Lu Youtian upstairs looked satisfied after hearing this.
The old actor's original name was Hu San, which was named after his number in the opera troupe.
After being bought by Lu Youtian, Hu San changed his name to Lu Baokun, a name given by Lu Xingbang.
A lot of people have bought from Lu Youtian recently, and the ten heavenly stems of "Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui" have been used up. The next ones will be arranged according to "Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao".
Fortunately, Lu Youtian also knew that "Lu Zi" and "Lu Chou" were really unpleasant to the ears, so he asked Lu Xing to help him come up with a name.
When Lu Baokun heard that he was not named according to "Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao", he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Hu San sounds bad, he doesn't want to be called "donkey".
The old zither player Lu Baochang also breathed a sigh of relief, as he almost called himself "Lu Chou".
