Chapter 110 Dragon Boat Festival Travel

Rumors continued in Beijing, but as the Dragon Boat Festival approached, the public's attention was distracted a lot.

The court rested again, and there were corresponding poetry, tea party, wine party, flower viewing party and other gatherings in the capital. What Xie said a few days ago that Fu Rushuang would attend were to be attended.

The river outside the city began to be controlled in sections, and dragon boat races were planned. There were many people who signed up and the people were ready early. At that time, they would have to participate in Qu Yuan's sacrifice and play a few dragon boat games.

Fu Yuchen is a lively person. He had already made an appointment with his friends to watch the dragon boat race. He just waited for the time to go out. He also said that he would participate in the literary gathering halfway and gather with his old classmates from the Imperial College, and it was difficult to decide on his return date.

In addition, Fu's mansion is like other families. Early in the morning, he drove his servants to clean up the various places in the mansion, smoked mugwort, hung calamus, and steamed ginseng rice dumplings. Everyone even took a medicinal bath, and the festive atmosphere was very strong.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Fu Xuechen slept and woke up naturally. When he woke up, he found that Fu Yuchen had run away early in the morning. Xie also took Fu Rushuang out to a tea party at some unknown place. However, the Marquis of Jingbei was still at home, but he also made an appointment with friends. Maybe when his friend arrived, he would go out.

Fu Xuechen was depressed. If it weren't for the Dragon Boat Festival and the Jiaofangsi was busy, maybe Xie had found a female master who could teach her Guzheng. Then she could start to get in touch with and recognize the ancient music scores and wash away the shame of her being forced to become a tone-deaf girl who could even play the piano in later generations.

Or follow Xie and Fu Rushuang to watch the scene of the ancients’ blind dates. It was also very interesting. Unfortunately, Xie felt that she was still young and was far from the age of looking at others. She was not suitable for getting involved and refused to take her with her.

Then what should she do? Fu Xuechen recalled it carefully and found that the original owner's way of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival was very simple, and it was not much different from usual. He read books, practiced calligraphy, and occasionally had sex with his friends in his boudoir.

The wives of each family and historic family can hold various gatherings with hidden blind dates, and the ladies from each family can actually initiate invitations and invite friends they know to their homes to play.

Just when Fu Xuechen was doing nothing and didn't know how to pass the time, the eldest maid Furong sent her two fragrant posts. One was from Fu Xuechen's best friend, Chen Wei, the second daughter of Zhenxi Hou Mansion, and the other was relatively fresh. It was from Cui Xiaoyue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

In Fu Xuechen's impression, Chen Wei is a girl with a round face and apricot eyes, who looks very lucky. She is the same age as her and likes to talk to her. For more than half a year after she has experienced "drowning in water" and "breaking her calf", Chen Wei is the most concerned about her. She not only gives gifts, but also visits the mansion.

Fu Xuechen has a good impression of the original owner's best friend, but she is not the original owner. She is inevitably guilty when facing the original owner's best friend, so she has become much distant recently.

Cui Xiaoyue quickly became familiar with her after the last spring. Before that, as a second-generation literary generation in the literary circle, Cui Xiaoyue had always been a martial arts noble girl like her and rarely dated her.

Therefore, even the maid Furong felt strange about the invitation sent to her by Cui Xiaoyue.

Fu Xuechen thought for a while, but was still not sure to face the original owner's best friend Chen Wei, so he first imitated the original owner's handwriting and tone and replied and declined Chen Wei's invitation, saying that after his leg injury was recovered, he would ask the other party to go to the mansion to play.

Cui Xiaoyue is the first time that the second-generation noble girl in the literary circle has given her olive branch to her descendant of the martial arts, and it is really hard to refuse it. But Fu Xuechen himself knew that Cui Xiaoyue could invite her, because she could sing fresh songs. In terms of her ability in poetry, she would be embarrassed to be with these second-generation girls of the literary generation.

After thinking about it, Fu Xuechen finally gave an excuse to accept the invitation from a noble daughter in Wuxun circle and was unable to do anything. He replied that Cui Xiaoyue was politely rejected and apologized that he would definitely come next time.

Furong took the reply she wrote and was speechless: "Miss hasn't gone out these two days?"

What can I do? Fu Xuechen was also depressed. When a woman went out, she had to report to her home. The invitation letter she received was a credential. The housekeeper would equip her with cars and horses to go out based on the identity of the invitation party and the place of the party. If the road was farther, she would also be given to the servants and guards. The personal maid would follow her and even take the nanny.

In this era when girls go out alone, these are the protective measures of rich families for girls at home, which can prevent girls from being abducted, robbed, and deceived to the greatest extent.

This is why Fu Xuechen nostalgia can go out casually with Fu Yuchen's identity, without having to bring so many followers with him, and then go out as soon as he says he can go out with excuses.

Fu Xuechen wanted to go out, but not to play, but to check out her own book shop. These days she has written a specific plot outline for the first part of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and by the way, she has also found two new good seedlings from the manuscript. If she had not regained her identity as a woman and as usual, she would have used Fu Yuchen's identity to go directly to the book shop.

Thinking of the book shop and Fu Yuchen, Fu Xuechen couldn't sit still, so he called Furong to help him re-dress, put on the men's clothing thrown in the closet, and dressed up as Fu Yuchen again.

Fu Chuanyi was in the study while playing chess and making endgames for entertainment, and saw a gust of wind breaking in: "Dad! I want to go out, can you let me out?"

"Didn't you go out early?"

After Fu Chuanyi said in surprise, he looked up and realized that Fu Yuchen was not Fu Yuchen who was smiling in front of him! It was obvious that Fu Xuechen was disguised as a man again. Fortunately, this time he was not a partner in the palace to read. Fu Xuechen no longer deliberately imitated the makeup of Fu Yuchen. There was a slight difference in facial features, eyebrows and eyes, which made Fu Chuanyi recognize it.

Fu Chuanyi had a headache: "What are you doing again? It's over! What are you thinking about when you dress up like this?"

"Dad, I'm not going out to play, I have serious things!"

Fu Xuechen told her father about the purpose of her traveling to deal with the follow-up business of the bookstore. Although she is the real new owner of the bookstore, the ones who have always come forward are "Fu Yuchen". It takes time to change it. And suddenly taking over the bookstore as a female boss is very inappropriate at such a busy time as the Dragon Boat Festival.

What she said was reasonable and well-founded. Fu Chuanyi got used to her success as Fu Yuchen in the past two months. He couldn't stand her repeated requests, and finally agreed.

"You think you can go out to do business like this, but you must bring the servant with you, and try to go home after you finish the work, so as not to stroll outside." Fu Chuanyi reminded: "It's better to let Fu An follow you! Yuchen went out this morning and brought another follower with him. Fu An originally rested today, so he could only stop letting him relax for the first time."

"I understand!" Fu Xuechen nodded repeatedly and said happily: "I knew my father loved me!"

Fu Chuanyi glared at her helplessly, and indeed someone called Fu An and told him a few words, just asking him to take care of the lady more, etc. Fu An naturally solemnly agreed.

Before leaving, Fu Xuechen asked Furong to give the reward to Fu An: "It's rare to have a rest day, and you can get errands because of me. Just take these rewards! It's a compensation for you."

"Miss Thank you for your reward!" Fu An responded with a smile, without any reluctance.

He is one of the insiders who are in the intercourse between brothers and sisters. He has been following Fu Xuechen for two months and has been accustomed to the little master in his family. He even loves Fu Xuechen more because of admiration, trust, and heavy self-responsibility.

This feeling is quite complicated, so complicated that he once thought that in the future, if Fu Xuechen gets married, if he calls his family to give birth to a child as a dowry, I am afraid that he will not only not be unwilling, but will also be secretly happy.

"Let's go! Go to the book shop!" Fu Xuechen asked Fu An to take all the manuscripts, and he was so energetic that he left the mansion happily. It was different from before. This time, many people in the mansion knew about their ladies dressed as men and went out to patrol the shops under their name. When they passed by, they all had a smile on their faces, either secretly funny or laughing and crying.

Panlong Bookstore, the store is crowded with people.

The wonderful story books that have been released for a whole month have unknowingly made their popularity in the circle of literati. The comfortable bookstore environment has attracted literati who like books to like to come and go for a walk whenever they have something to do.

Whenever a new episode of the classic storytelling in the same series is placed on the bookshelf, it is equivalent to starting a happy buying trend for literati. Even this happiness is not limited to literati. Even bookmakers from other places, as well as storytellers who make a living by making a storytelling in teahouses and teahouses, they all know that there is a bookstore with special stories and frequently come to buy it.

The so-called "First Bookstore" that covers a larger area and has a more grand decoration, gradually neglected the house. The shopkeepers and friends inside often can only stay in the shop with increasingly thin traffic and sit in the city of distress.

It's very relieved! Fu Xuechen even received the suggestion from Manager Liu of his own bookstore, and could start preparing funds and attempt to take over this "first bookstore".

In ancient times, Fu Xuechen didn't know much about how to operate other bookstores. Fortunately, she didn't need to understand them as her boss. All of these things can be handed over to trusted deacon shopkeepers. She just needs to learn to check accounts, provide funds and make decisions on major directions.

Seeing that the book shop was operating normally and full of vitality, Fu Xuechen inspected a little while and then walked through the back door of the first floor and went directly into the yard behind the building.

The yard has been renovated and repaired and has been renovated. There is a jujube tree here, with a complete set of tables, chairs and tea sets under the tree. The sun is shining, and under the shade of the tree, it becomes a good place to talk to customers about the business.

The shopkeeper Liu She handed over the store affairs to her nephew for the time being. She followed up in the yard happily, actively arranged to change into clean tea cups for Fu Xuechen, and made good new tea.

Fu Xuechen didn't say anything nonsense, and took the screened new storybook from Fu An and handed it to Liu She.

"These two new manuscripts are very good! You can sign the contract with them." Fu Xuechen said: "The new manuscript should be printed as soon as possible... Other manuscripts are not as good as these two. You can choose some of the single signing books and do not rush to sign someone."

Liu She was the first reviewer of these new manuscripts. He took the manuscript and saw it: "It's true that these two people are not newcomers. In the storytelling world, these two people are well-known, but their traces are quite vague and hard to find, so he has never heard of them having a fixed bookstore."

Oh! In other words, these two people heard the reputation of their own bookstores, so they came to try to submit their articles?

"Can you sign someone?" Fu Xuechen couldn't help but ask.

Liu She didn't dare to make a promise: "It's absolutely fine to sign a single call book, but the signer... is only 70% sure."

Fu Xuechen looked at the two manuscripts in his hand again. One of them was similar to the reasoning and solving the case. The background was that ordinary citizens in Beijing were involved in a case due to various coincidences. They were arrested and interrogated several times, and released due to insufficient evidence. They were all reversed and brain-burning, and the truth of the case was revealed.

Another fusion similar to the fusion of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and the Legend of White Snake is both the supernatural powers of ghosts and foxes, traditional family matters, and a relationship that makes people think deeply and memorable.

What Fu Xuechen likes is the one who writes reasoning. His writing style is more straightforward and wins with the clever plot structure. Zhou Chong, who was signed by the Bookstore earlier, is not as simple as him. However, his simple writing style is closer to most of the online novels in later generations. They are not falsified and directly talk about the story.

As for the person who wrote about emotions, his writing style is more beautiful and he feels heart-wrenching when reading it. However, at the same time, his article structure is very traditional. The wording and sentence making in some places is inevitably uncommon, and he can't understand it without any writing level.

Fu Xuechen then typed the article on the reasoning and solving the case twice and said, "Try to sign this person."

"I understand!" Liu She agreed, but smiled and said, "This person is sure to sign a cooperation contract. I am afraid that other people will not easily sign a cooperation with him except us."

He asked again: "Do you need to designate their pseudonyms and entrust them to create?"

Fu Xuechen shook his head: "No need! The pen name is for them. When there is no task, they will follow what they want to write and whenever they want. Anyway, the guaranteed monthly salary is only three months, and if they don't continue to create, they will have no subsequent monthly salary."

Fu Xuechen took out the fine outline of Xian Jianyi again: "Leave this to He Ci and let him write this."

"I can save it!" Liu She took the manuscript carefully and solemnly put it away.

Fu Xuechen casually talked: "The book of "The Legend of White Snake" was completed at the end of last month. He Ci has been very idle recently, right?"

"It's a bit idle." Liu She smiled and said, "The day before yesterday, Mr. He came to the shop and asked if there was any new task. At that time, the old slave said that there was no new news yet. Mr. He was a little disappointed. However, the Dragon Boat Festival was coming in the past two days, and Mr. He was busy participating in the organization of the teacher's teacher's literary meeting. This task must be entrusted to him at the earliest day."

"I have a literary lesson in the story?"

Fu Xuechen was surprised. Although this era is full of stories and is very popular, the status of stories by the teacher is very low. Although there are many scholars and scholars who are willing to write stories by themselves for interest or for money, no one is willing to reveal their true identity, and they all use their pseudonyms.

In this case, can we still have a teacher’s literary experience? These literati who write scripts with hidden heads and tails dare to organize literary experiences to show up in public? Are you not afraid of being humble and teased by others when they know their true identity?
