The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

It simply gives you a direction, telling you what you should say. You can then use your own knowledge to enrich the content around this theme, which is why I was able to finish reading this storybook in such a short time.

Seeing that Tong Qian had finished eating her wontons and was sitting there by herself, I just stared at her, lost in thought. When I first met her, I just thought she was someone's child playing a prank. It wasn't until I heard what she told me that I truly began to examine her existence. I never knew how many unknown abilities were contained in such a delicate and petite body.

Tong Qian could naturally feel Zhen Rui's gaze. Seeing the unreadable emotions in his eyes, she simply said, "Zhen Rui, how is it? Have you finished reading the storybook?"

Just one gentle sentence from Tong Qian was enough to bring Zhen Rui back to his senses.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Rui cursed himself inwardly, wondering what he was thinking. After a pause, he said, "Miss Tong, there are actually no other problems with your script. All I need is for me and the drama troupe to be able to seamlessly integrate the two forms without leaving any overly obvious traces."

Tong Qian listened and nodded. His answer was the same as the result she had imagined. The two of them talked and then found another teahouse to sit down and began to rehearse the matter to some extent.

Zhen Rui has been studying the storybooks and expressing himself based on the stories and his own imagination.

Tong Qian watched from the sidelines, and would offer to correct him when he made any mistakes.

As Zhen Rui spoke, Tong Qian supplemented and corrected him. After just two repetitions, Zhen Rui understood the essence of the performance and no longer needed Tong Qian to provide much guidance. He only needed Tong Qian to introduce himself in the form of a play when the performance changed, and then Tong Qian would switch roles with him when he transitioned to the play.

After nearly a day of rehearsals, Zhen Rui was able to recite both sets of stories completely.

After it ended, Tong Qian made an appointment with Zhen Rui to go to the teahouse the next day to rehearse with the drama troupe, so that they could reach a more complete state and make it easier for him to go with them for the final rehearsal the day after tomorrow.

Sure enough, when Tong Qian appeared with Zhen Rui the next day, the drama troupe members were full of doubt, wondering why Tong Qian had suddenly brought another person with her.

Looking at Tong Qian's appearance, the troupe leader naturally knew that she had come here for other reasons today, and asked, "Miss Tong, is there anything you need to tell us today? I am still rehearsing those two new scripts with them. Although a format has been finalized before, I think that practice makes perfect, and there is always some truth to that."

After Tong Qian came in, she watched their general performance once, which also gave Zhen Rui a general idea so that he could transition more smoothly with them later. Hearing the troupe leader ask this question, she stopped watching their rehearsal and simply said:

“Master, there is indeed something I want to say today. I mentioned before that we would be incorporating a new performance style this time. Although you could see that there have been some changes in the rewriting of the play script and the actors' performances, you also saw that even the teahouse owner couldn't see the changes. How could the guests possibly understand them so easily?”

"So after that, I looked for a new format. This time, I wanted to combine the two formats to see what the effect would be. If it turned out well, I could launch a theatrical performance that combined this latest format in two days."

Upon hearing Tong Qian's explanation, the troupe leader's expression changed again. He had always known that it was already remarkable that Tong Qian could write so many scripts in such a short time and even change the performance style of them, but he had never thought that she had other new forms besides these changes.

He asked incredulously, "Miss Tong, what is it? As long as it's something I can help with, I will do my best to support you."

After getting the answer she wanted, Tong Qian shared her thoughts on combining the two forms of drama and storytelling with him. She also introduced Zhen Rui, who was standing behind her, and explained what she wanted to do that day.

Upon hearing this, the troupe leader was utterly shocked. He had never imagined that drama and storytelling could be combined. In the past, many storytellers had said that drama had blocked all the ways they could make money. But now, didn't this prove that it wasn't drama that left storytellers with nothing to do?

Thinking this way, he wholeheartedly agreed with the idea, but he was also somewhat worried about how it could be expressed. However, seeing Tong Qian's confident demeanor, he naturally did not question her and unhesitatingly shared Tong Qian's idea with the actors in his drama troupe.

Seeing their changed expressions, Tong Qian reassured them after the troupe leader finished speaking, "Actually, you don't need to worry. Since the troupe leader agreed to let the storyteller join you, he must have considered the opportunities it could bring."

"If these two aspects can be combined well, it can also prove to many people, at least to those storytellers who complain about us, that we did not steal the money they could earn."

"It's not because they lack the ability to adapt to the current tastes of their customers, but because they are now either idle at home or their local businesses are becoming increasingly sluggish."

Seeing the moved expressions on everyone's faces, he continued to comfort them, "And you can consider the most realistic thing: if you can earn more money with this kind of performance now, then wouldn't you earn even more money?"

"Although it is true that there will be one more person sharing the silver with you, I can guarantee that you will get more silver than before. So I think that even just for the sake of the silver you can get, you should try this method."
