Chapter 29
The first chapter of "Legend of the Divine Eye" ended with Li Lei's shock and confusion.
Fu Wenyu believes that readers will be very curious when they see this. One is curious about what opportunity Li Lei got, and the other is curious about what he saw in the end.
What could it be?
Fu Wenyu did not write down what Li Lei saw specifically in the first chapter of "Legend of the Divine Eye" because when he wrote this, he found that the knowledge in his memory was somewhat different from the actual situation. For example, the 'stone gambling' in his memory was actually about jade, but in fact jade only emerged in the Qing Dynasty.
In earlier times, people preferred jade. For example, Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiu jade and turquoise, etc. The famous "He's Bi" is said to be a piece of Dushan jade.
But Fu Wenyu didn't know much about jade, which was only for the rich, whether in his previous life or in this life. So to be on the safe side, he decided to find someone to learn from.
It was also easy to decide on the candidate, shopkeeper Zhang.
He was going to show him the first chapter on hand, and by the way, ask if he knew any jade merchants or antique merchants. This kind of 'clairvoyance' power in the Stone Gambling novel can also be used in antique appraisal with some modifications. By then, Li Lei can not only see through jade, but also antiques.
In this way, the words will be more interesting.
Shopkeeper Zhang was surprised when he saw that he came back after half a day and asked, "So fast?"
Fu Wenyu said: "I have been thinking about this storybook for a long time, so I wrote it out so quickly. Uncle Zhang, can you see if it can be used? If it can be used, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Shopkeeper Zhang took it.
As he looked at it, he murmured.
"…Opportunity."
After finishing the last picture, he couldn't wait to ask: "What opportunity did the old beggar give Li Lei? Is it that glowing thing? What is that? What use can it be?"
Obviously, he was also very greedy by Fu Wenyu's deliberate interruption.
In addition to being a reader, shopkeeper Zhang also has the identity of an editor, so Fu Wenyu did not hide it, "Actually, the opportunity given by the old beggar is a pair of eyes."
"Li Lei's eyes can see the layer of light on the treasure." Fu Wenyu explained simply, "After all, the treasure is covered in dust, but there is also a shining light."
"Is there such a strange thing?"
Shopkeeper Zhang was surprised and turned the manuscript back to read.
"Well, 'Yingying's glimmer', what Li Lei saw was indeed a layer of light. Wen Yu, how did you come up with such an idea? Is there really such a strange person in this world?"
Fu Wenyu shook his head, "Of course not."
He doesn't believe that there are such strange people in the world. Even if there are, it should be due to eye mutation or bacterial infection, and everything they see is a layer of fluorescence, and they cannot only see treasures. The superpower described in his storybook is just a golden finger given by the author and cannot be real.
"...That's such a shame."
Shopkeeper Zhang said regretfully.
Apparently he was interested in this magical ability.
Just be interested. If you are interested, you will become a reader of this storybook. Fu Wenyu was happy to see the success, so he asked again: "Uncle Zhang, do you know anyone who is proficient in jade or antiques?"
"I have a question I'd like to ask."
"Jade, or antique..."
Shopkeeper Zhang thought for a moment and said: "My boss owns a silver shop and an antique shop. The shop that sells jewelry is called 'Jubao Shop' and the shop that sells antiques is called 'Jinshizhai'. The shopkeepers or masters inside should be considered proficient. If you want If you want to ask for advice, they are the right ones.”
Unexpectedly, there happened to be a shop selling jade and antiques under the name of Yuan Tang. Fu Wenyu said happily: "That's great. Uncle Zhang, please help me ask. I am willing to write the name of their shop in the storybook so that they can Everyone who has seen it knows that the things inside are genuine and genuine.”
This can be regarded as repaying some of Tang Yuan's favor. After all, after the storybook becomes popular, it can also bring sales to the store, and there should be interested readers to check in.
Having said this, Fu Wenyu asked in a low voice alertly: "By the way, the jade and antiques in those shops are really genuine and pure, right?"
Don’t sell fakes!
Otherwise, readers who bought fake products may come to him to settle accounts.
Shopkeeper Zhang laughed and said, "Don't worry, our boss will not lie to others. From the time of our old boss, if anyone buys fake goods from their shop, the shop will pay double the compensation."
That's good, Fu Wenyu will feel relieved.
A store that dares to make such a promise will definitely not knowingly sell fakes.
Without further ado, he asked Shopkeeper Zhang to help out in the past two days and asked if anyone was willing to help. If so, he took advantage of the Liuzhou tabloid’s regularity of updating every five days to catch up on the relevant knowledge in the past few days to avoid unnecessary trouble later. Rushing and delaying updates. If he doesn't want to, he has time to find someone else.
But that would not be so convenient.
Such a thing seemed too small to Fu Wenyu, so he went directly to shopkeeper Zhang instead of the Tang family. However, Tang Yuanwai still found out, from the mouths of the antique shop shopkeeper and the silver shop shopkeeper.
"You mean, Fu Wenyu wants to write Jin Shizhai into the storybook?"
"Yes, boss."
Shopkeeper Fang of Jinshizhai is an old man in his sixties with white hair and beard. I wonder if it is because he has been dealing with antiques for most of his life. He has a calm temperament and speaks in a leisurely manner.
"He was introduced by shopkeeper Zhang."
"Shopkeeper Zhang said that Mr. Fu promised that if we were willing to teach him some jade and antique trades, he would write Jinshizhai in the storybook. Let everyone know that the things in Jinshizhai are genuine. , It’s just like those in tabloids, ‘advertising’.”
Although Shopkeeper Fang has not read a few story books, he has heard about the son-exchange that happened at Tang Yuan's wife's family. At the same time, I also heard that this incident was originally caused by a storybook.
So after hearing what shopkeeper Zhang relayed, he hesitated.
Originally, he planned to ignore it. After all, what Mr. Fu wanted to know was their ability to eat. The ability to eat can be passed down to future generations. Even the apprentice has to think twice about it. How can it be easily taught to others?
But this Mr. Fu is special after all.
"Well..."
Tang Yuanwai pondered, and then asked: "What kind of storybook does he want to write?"
To be fair, Tang Yuanwai did not like reading scripts before. To him, scripts were dispensable. But before, during the exchange of children, he had read the book "The True and False Young Master" written by Fu Wenyu. Now I heard that the other party has written something new, and it is also related to things like antiques and jade, so I can’t help but become curious.
Shopkeeper Fang happened to have his storybook with him, so he took it out.
"This was copied by shopkeeper Zhang."
He said with a strange expression: "Master, these words are quite strange."
"Mr. Fu wrote about a star in the sky. He turned into a mortal beggar and gave a child a chance. After the child got the chance, he was able to see through the ancient objects. The real ancient objects had a hazy glow in his eyes, while the fake ones did not. Such an opportunity is better than the most powerful connoisseur in the world. "
"Very strange."
"The opportunity given by Xingxiu?" Tang Yuanwai took it curiously and looked at it carefully.
As he looked at it, he was shocked, "This, this, could this be the 'enlightenment'?"
Tang Yuanwai's hand holding the paper trembled a little, and he murmured: "The immortal slapped his forehead like this, and the boy surnamed Li got a pair of sharp eyes that can see through treasures. It's strange, so strange!"
"If there really is such a strange person in the world..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yuanwai also reacted, "Hahaha, there must be such a strange person in this world, otherwise there would be no place for us to stand."
If there was, there was no way he hadn't heard of it.
In fact, even the most experienced eye palm masters sometimes miss the mark. There are many misunderstood things in Jinshizhai's warehouse. If the water in antiques hadn't been very deep, his father wouldn't have made the 'double compensation' rule back then.
"This Fu Wenyu is extraordinary."
Tang Yuanwai put down the paper in his hand with some reluctance, smiled and said: "I really want to know what will happen to Li Lei after he gets such an opportunity. It will definitely be interesting."
"Well, in my opinion, just promise him."
"In addition, Jinshizhai has recently prepared some more antiquities. Although there is no strange person in this world who can see through ancient objects, there is a scholar with a wonderful pen. After this book is printed, Jinshizhai will probably receive guests like clouds." He had gained experience by publishing an 'advertisement' for his restaurant in a Liuzhou tabloid.
Shopkeeper Fang hesitated, "But what if..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have any customers," Tang Yuan said openly, "Antiques are not a popular business at all. If they can't be sold, then what's next?
Just charge less every month. "
"As long as you make the right mistake, you won't lose anything."
Shopkeeper Fang nodded and agreed.
After Shopkeeper Fang left, Tang Yuanwai picked up the first chapter of "Legend of the Divine Eye" and read it carefully. Finally, after thinking about it, he simply returned to the backyard with these papers.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard his wife's voice.
"...Yishan, do you want to use more?"
"The chicken soup is delicious, the stew is also good, and there is this fish soup. You had a bowl of rice with it yesterday. The doctor said you need to eat more and sleep more to recuperate your body. How about using some more?"
"Or if you want to eat the food next to it, I'll ask someone to do it."
After these words were said, there was no response from the room.
After a while, Mrs. Tang's anxious voice came from inside again, "Yishan, where are you going? Your father will be back soon. Please walk slower and don't fall. Yishan..."
Tang Yuanwai looked stern and walked in quickly, just in time to bump into the thin child who ran out.
"Yishan, dad is back."
He knelt down, picked up his son who was delighted to see his rear face, then patted his son's back, and said in a soft voice: "Yishan is so good, you have finished your meal, dad brought you something." a gift.”
As Member Tang stepped outside the threshold, he nodded to Mrs. Tang who was approaching anxiously, indicating that she didn't need to worry. While shaking the paper in his hand, he said in a coaxing tone: "This story is about an immortal who came down to earth..."
Immortals come down to earth?
Tang Yishan, who was hugging Member Tang's neck tightly, turned sideways curiously.
Fu Wenyu soon received an invitation from Jin Shizhai.
The other party not only agreed to teach him some knowledge of identifying antiques, but also took out his own antiques to explain to him. This made Fu Wenyu very happy. While learning humbly, he also planned to return the favor by selecting some distinctive ones to write in the storybook. In this way, after the storybook is published, there may be readers who want to own the same one.
But to be honest...
Identifying antiques is really difficult!
Even though Fu Wenyu has been influenced by the rich knowledge of modern times, watched treasure appraisal programs, read several books about antiques and gambling stones, and prepared similar urban cool articles himself, he was also shocked by the profound knowledge taught by the master. It took a lot of effort, but he has just started.
And this is just antiques.
He still has knowledge about gambling stones to learn.
But the storybook has already started to be written, and Fu Wenyu has no habit of retreating when faced with difficulties, so he had to go to the city with his mother and sister every morning, send them to Li's house, and then go to Jinshizhai to study.
Within two days, a new copy of "Liuzhou Tabloid" was also delivered to readers.
This Liuzhou tabloid not only published the "True or False Young Master" that everyone was curious about, and notified everyone that they could go to Kaiyuan Bookstore to pre-order the storybook, but also published two new ones.
"The Story of the Green Hairpin" and "The Legend of the Divine Eye".
Because of the relationship with Kaiyuan Bookstore and the previous mistakes made by Liuzhou tabloid, Fu Wenyu was vigilant this time and specially asked for a sample newspaper, so he saw this tabloid one day earlier than most readers. After getting it, he first confirmed that the fact that the "True or False Young Master" storybook was open for pre-order was indeed printed in the tabloid, and this issue of the tabloid only printed 3,000 words, and the plot was stuck at the part where "the blood of the three people merged together when they recognized their relatives by dropping blood".
This fragment was well cut!
He believed that based on this fragment, many people would definitely go to Kaiyuan Bookstore to pre-order the storybook today.
After confirming the most important thing, he read other contents.
Liuzhou tabloid is now the leading newspaper in the vicinity. The "nearby" here refers to Liuzhou, as well as the three states of Jiangzhou, Anzhou, and Pingzhou surrounding it.
The reason why it broke through the geographical restrictions was not that someone promoted it vigorously, but various coincidences. The biggest role was played by the several serialized stories above, and the "child exchange" incident of the Tang family that was exactly the same as the story. When Fu Wenyu heard about this, he could only sigh that it was bloody and gossipy, and everyone was interested.
This time, the "Liuzhou Tabloid" added two new stories. One was Fu Wenyu's own, which was "The Legend of the Divine Eye" that he had just finished writing the first chapter a few days ago, and the other was very unfamiliar.
He first read the unfamiliar "The Story of the Green Hairpin".
This is a story from a female perspective, and the author is a person called "Mrs. Qin". After Fu Wenyu decided to write a story, he also learned about the works of many other authors, but this person was not in it. It seems that the other party is also a newcomer like him, or has other vests.
The protagonist of "The Story of the Green Hairpin" is a brothel girl. The story begins with her parents' death, and she was abducted and sold to a brothel. The writing of this storybook is slightly sad, and there is some self-pity in the words.
Uh, how should I put it...
It's well written, but Fu Wenyu doesn't like this style.
So he turned it over and read his own story. Because he wrote it himself, he glanced through it, mainly to see if there were any typos or anything like that in the layout and printing.
Fortunately, there were none.
After reading it all, Fu Wenyu thought about it and was still not very reassured, after all, this was a new subject. So the next day, after sending his mother and sister to Li's house, he simply asked for leave from Jinshizhai and went to the teahouse to listen to the opinions of ancient readers on the new storybook "The Legend of the Divine Eye".
If the response was mediocre, he could make adjustments.
It was another fifth day, and it was also the day when Liuzhou tabloids were sold.
Liu Changmiao, the youngest son of Mr. Liu, got up early and urged the servant to go out to buy Liuzhou tabloid. In the following time, he was absent-minded in everything he did, and looked at the door from time to time.
Since he took over the Liuzhou tabloid from the clerk of Kaiyuan Bookstore more than two months ago, this happened every five days. Because he was attracted by a new story in it, which was about a nanny named Zhang who swapped her grandson with the master's child.
It was different from all the stories Liu Changmiao had read before.
It was not finished!
How could a story not be finished!
For this reason, Liu Changmiao didn't know how many times he went to Kaiyuan Bookstore, asking them to urge the scholar who gave him the strange name of "two cents for a steamed bun" to write quickly. Then he talked with his friends, anxiously waiting for the Liuzhou tabloid to be printed every five days. Finally, he heard that the same thing happened to the Tang family in reality, and the only son of Tang Yuanwai was also replaced. He rushed to see the excitement.
Now the matter of the Tang family has come to an end, and Tang Yuanwai has found his biological son.
But Liu Changmiao knew more than others because he was born rich and the Liu and Tang families knew each other. He heard from his mother that the poor child, who had been renamed "Tang Yishan", was very frightened in this incident and couldn't speak after being rescued!
What a terrible thing it is to be unable to speak.
Because the Tang family kept this matter very secret, people outside didn't know it yet. The reason why Liu Changmiao knew it was because the Tang family couple came to ask for his father Liu Juren to come forward and invite a good doctor from the capital.
Like everyone else, Liu Changmiao hated evildoers. But for this reason, he was even more curious about the story of "The True and False Young Master", which made Tang Yuanwai accidentally discover the truth. He couldn't wait to know the subsequent development and wanted to see the bad guys in the story get their comeuppance just like in reality.
He was so anxious that he was scratching his head.
So when he saw the servant coming back, his eyes lit up.
"Give it to me!"
"I remember the guy in the bookstore said that the number of words in this story is three times that of "The Woodcutter", which should be more than 120,000 words. 110,000 words have been printed before, and now there are more than 10,000 words left."
"Today's 10,000 words must be recognition, right?!"
Although Liu Changmiao has never written a story, he has read a lot, so he knows the ins and outs of it. He knows that the most exciting part of a story is not the few thousand words at the end, but earlier.
For example, this storybook called "The True and False Young Master". According to the number of words, today's 10,000 words are most likely the part about catching the person and recognizing each other, which is also the most exciting part of the whole book. Even if the trial was not completed, most of it should have been completed, otherwise the whole article would not have only more than 120,000 words.
He was very confident in his guess.
But the clever servant did not hand over the tabloid this time, but carefully stepped back and said embarrassedly: "Well, young master, today, today's storybook does not have 10,000 words."
When saying this, the servant also secretly complained in his heart.
He knew exactly what kind of personality his young master had. The young master was lively and unrestrained. He liked to read storybooks, not like reading the Four Books and Five Classics like the eldest young master.
On the shelf in the young master's room, placed together with the Four Books and Five Classics, there were storybooks from different places. When the master was at home, he often dragged the young master over and scolded him for this, but the young master never changed. Now that the master has taken the eldest son to the capital to study, the son is unsupervised and can buy whatever he wants.
Recently, I like this article "The True and False Son" in the Liuzhou tabloid.
And the son has been talking about it since five days ago, saying that this time the 10,000 words will definitely be printed to the end, and then he will know what the bad guys will end up like.
So when the servant saw that there were only 3,000 words in the bookstore, he knew it was bad.
Liu Changmiao didn't know that the servant was complaining about himself in his heart. He stretched out his hand, "If there are not 10,000 words, there should be 8,000, right? 8,000 is fine, but if it's less than 10,000, doesn't it mean that they printed the ending today?"
"Quick, quick, give it to me to see."
The servant closed his eyes and quickly handed it over.
Liu Changmiao opened it and took a closer look.
As he watched, he laughed out loud, "Sure enough, Wang Yuanwai finally caught them all."
"The Zhang family is so hateful! They are a million times more hateful than the Huang family. They should be sent to the officials, and it would be best if they were all beheaded."
"Blood test?"
"So if you want to identify whether you are a real father and son, there is a method called 'blood test'." When he said this, he subconsciously looked at his fingers, and then shrank unconsciously.
Well, let Wang Yuanwai and Zhang Gousheng in the book do things like cutting fingers. They are real father and son, and their blood can definitely be mixed together.
Thinking of this, his eyes returned to the Liuzhou tabloid, and subconsciously felt that he could see a father and son recognize each other, and then evil will be punished, and everyone will be happy.
But the next moment...
"What?!!!"
A cry of surprise sounded: "Merged, the blood of three people merged together?!"
"How could this happen?!!!"
"Aren't Wang Yuanwai and Zhang Gousheng father and son?" Liu Changmiao shouted in disbelief: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
"I want to see..."
He looked down subconsciously, but did not see more content, but found such a sentence.
[Dear guests, the book "True and False Young Master" has been opened for pre-order. Guests who want to know the ending as soon as possible can go to Kaiyuan Bookstore to buy it. ]
Liu Changmiao: "......???"
Liu Changmiao: "......!!!"
Then, a surprised voice came from the Liu family: "Gone?!"
"It's just gone like this?!"
