Chapter 54 Everything is Ready

When I got home, there were two more Hua Masters waiting in the foyer, Wu Rui and Luo Qi.

Fu Xuechen told the story of Journey to the West in quite detail at the beginning, especially the plot of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace. All the details that should be mentioned were not omitted.

But things are different now. Fu Xuechen's experiences on the journey to the West are relatively brief, just like the synopsis of the episodes of a TV series. He mainly talks about the monsters that Tang Monk, his master and his disciples will encounter when they stop at a certain place.

, what methods did the monster use, and how was he defeated by Sun Wukong in the end?

Fortunately, after the previous draft writing and corrections, Wu Rui has fully understood Fu Xuechen's writing requirements for the Newspaper Version, and his writing style has been basically fixed. He knows the key plot information, and the rest is to add extravagant renderings and detailed descriptions.

It was completely impossible for him.

After handing over the latest two new plot synopses about the Kingdom of Lions and Camels and the Kingdom of Women to Wu Rui, Fu Xuechen turned his attention to Luo Qi.

Luo Qi had no objection to the same treatment as Wu Rui, so he agreed to change the pen name of the author of the Newspeak version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Luo Guanzhong, and began to listen to Fu Xuechen's story about this masterpiece.

"In the last years of the Han Dynasty, natural disasters continued and the people suffered. However, ten of the court's servants and friends became traitors and disrupted the court, leading to great chaos in the world and rampant thieves. The Taoist priest Zhang Jiao gathered five hundred disciples and descendants to rebel..."

Fu Xuechen, the original novel of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, cannot memorize it even if he has read it. Moreover, ancient chapter-style novels tend to ramble at the beginning. They also like to blame all the suffering in the world on the emperor's immorality, and regard the rebels in civil uprisings as thieves, bandits, and monsters. Fu Xuechen

She simply discarded all of this, followed the storyline she remembered, and gave an extremely objective and non-discriminatory description of the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jue.

"The war spread across eight states, and the poor people responded one after another. For a time, the Yellow Turban Army became powerful, and the officers and soldiers fled wherever they passed. Soon, the Yellow Turban Army entered Youzhou, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Youzhou, had to post notices everywhere.

Recruit volunteers."

"There is Zhuo County under the rule of Youzhou. Liu Bei in the county is a descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan. His family is poor and he has to sell rice and weave mats to make a living. When he saw the notice for recruiting volunteers, he sighed and attracted the attention of another strong man.

This strong man's name is Zhang Fei. He makes a living by selling wine and killing pigs, and his family has some wealth."

"The two of them had a good conversation, so they made an appointment to recruit Xiang Yong to join the army. While eating and drinking together in the hotel, they met a third red-faced man with similar interests, his name was Guan Yu..."

That's right, Fu Xuechen is talking about the first famous scene in the opening chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms in the Taoyuan. Her narration still adheres to the principle of being able to tell the story in a straightforward manner without adding any extravagance, in order to give the storytellers a comprehensive picture in the shortest possible time.

To show the context and direction of the entire story, the specific writing is left to the storytellers.

Even so, one hour can't actually tell too much plot. On the first day, we talked about the Three Kingdoms. Fu Xuechen also talked about He Jinjiu killing Dong Hou and following Yuan Shao's suggestion to clear the emperor. Cao Cao agreed, which is about the first two chapters of the original work.

It’s just a plot. According to this schedule, it would take about two months to complete the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

However, according to the previous experience of Journey to the West, it will be slower at the beginning. After the character relationships, plot structure and writing style are basically determined later, and the storyteller has become familiar with it, the speed will become faster and faster.

Fu Xuechen believed that before he and Fu Yuchen exchanged their identities and returned to the boudoir, it would not be a problem to publish all the novels of the Three Kingdoms in Newspeak.

The facts were just as she expected. In the days that followed, everything went according to her plan in an orderly manner, and with the three films of He Ci's "The Legend of the White Snake", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", and "Wang Baochuan"

After all the stories were told, the last storyteller Zhou Zhong also came back from collecting stories from an official of the Ministry of Justice. He Ci took over the story. Under the command of Fu Xuechen, he started the story of "Bao Gongan", "Shi Gongan" and other storytelling stories.

creation.

On the other hand, the comparative enumeration of simplified and traditional Chinese characters has gradually come to an end, twice as fast as Fu Xuechen expected. The original plan was to write at least two hundred words a day, but in fact he was able to write more than four hundred words a day.

The main reason is that many of the characters originally have only a few strokes, such as the character D, the character Zi, the character Wang, etc. There is no difference at all between the simplified and traditional Chinese characters, so there is no need to simplify them, which greatly saves her energy.

Unknowingly, more than half a month had passed. Fu Xuechen had completed the conversion of all traditional Chinese characters ahead of schedule, and handed the manuscript of the last few hundred sets of contrasting characters to the Sixth Prince, asking him to instruct officials from the Ministry of Rites to compile the new dictionary, mainly composed of

The work she was responsible for was now over, and there was no need for her to spend any more energy on the rest.

At this point, Fu Xuechen finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Thanks to the fact that she had learned and used these simplified Chinese characters for more than 20 years in her previous life, she was so familiar with them that she didn't need to start with traditional Chinese characters.

After deducing and pondering, the ready-made final answer was placed in her memory. It was not difficult for her to just be a porter. Otherwise, if she had to work so hard every day, she would not be so tired that she would vomit blood.

After school, Fu Xuechen finally came to the bookstore that he had not visited for a long time.

When you open the door and go in, you will see a brand new style. After a comprehensive renovation, the bookstore now looks much brighter and brighter, no longer cramped and dark.

Fu Xuechen nodded, looked up at the mirror hanging on the top of the bookshelf, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The mirror was barely built, but the effect is somewhat unsatisfactory. For example, there are always some minor flaws on the mirror glass, and the coating on the back of the mirror is not bright and smooth enough. This makes the mirror look a little wrong, and the color is yellowish and unpleasant.

It's slightly deformed in the mirror.

That is to say, it is used to increase the brightness. In terms of illuminating effect, it is not as good as a newly polished bronze mirror. Moreover, the coating on the back of it also slightly volatilizes mercury poison. Even if it is very light, it is not suitable for long-term use as makeup.

mirror.

Over at the porcelain kiln, Fu Xuechen originally only planned to make this batch of mirrors, with no follow-up and no more production. Unexpectedly, the manager Xie Wuyue became anxious and urged her to leave the secret recipe and management rights there for the kiln to research and improve.

Xie Wuyue also made a guarantee for this, promising never to hoard or sell such slightly poisonous mirrors. Fu Xuechen felt that it was a good thing that someone was willing to study and improve the glass manufacturing process, so he agreed.

Liu She, the shopkeeper of the bookstore, followed Fu Xuechen step by step, and reported the progress of the bookstore decoration with a happy face: "Young master, I know that I have asked a fortune teller to predict the auspicious day yesterday. Three days later... that is, at the beginning of next month.

Second, it’s time to get married and open a business. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the young master and young lady to nod!”
