Chapter 219 The little girl is not talented, it is Mr. Ban Shu
Today, the sky in Hongye Mountain is exceptionally clear, cloudless, and the warm wind is blowing, which makes the already lively atmosphere of the Xia Mansion even more festive, like when the maids, women, servants and servants are busy putting up lanterns and festoons when a young lady gets married.
"When will Miss and Uncle go to the fairyland?"
"Hurry up, let's go after breakfast... I really want the lady to bring a mirror. I really like the big mirror that my uncle bought for the lady. I heard that mirrors are not expensive at all in the fairy world. You can buy a lot of money for one tael."
"I can use a bronze mirror, but I want the lady to buy me a bottle of cool drink. That bottle is easy to use and beautiful!"
"Go, I want a bottle too."
"you go."
"I don't dare, you go tell Lvzhu and help me by the way..."
Two servant girls sneaked out of the small courtyard where the young lady lived, and heard a group of people shouting in the courtyard from a distance.
What, "Miss, do you want to buy fruit? Watermelon is delicious" "Strawberries are delicious too" "Madam, Mrs. Zhao in the city asked you to buy a mirror last time" "The Wang family wants vegetables" "Mrs. Song Yushi from the capital A long time ago, I sent someone to ask, I want some strange things."
A mess.
It's all about Miss Going to the Immortal World.
The two maids poked their heads out and looked inside. A group of maids surrounded the lady and young lady in the gazebo, all of them were full of excitement and anticipation, hoping that the young lady would buy something in the fairy world and come back.
"this…"
The two servant girls were dumbfounded.
Since the son-in-law became a land **** and opened the gate of heaven to go to the fairy world, and then formed a strange marriage with the young lady, the status of Xia Mansion has risen, and Yongkang County and even Zhao State have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Today's Hongye Mountain in Yongkang County has become a fairyland among storytellers outside, and people from all counties, counties and prefectures have come here to buy properties.
The uncle loves the young lady very much, and often sends things.
If the lady can't use it up, she rewards her servants, from melons, fruits, cakes, cold drinks, to mirrors, water bottles, soaps, etc. If there are too many things, they will naturally flow out, causing the rich and powerful people in Yongkang County to take action In the competition, an ordinary apple was sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
Even far away in the capital, a group of imperial wives who previously had friendship with the Xia Mansion wrote letters one after another, wanting some rare things.
The influence brought by my uncle can be seen.
"Girl, tell me the truth."
Lu Rui stopped her precious daughter who was writing furiously.
This girl made an appointment with Chen Ji last night, and when she decided to go to the fairyland today, she looked very happy, and told the maids that she could help them bring some things back this time.
This caused the maids in the mansion to rush over uncontrollably, spending money to "buy" things from the fairy world from her, and the commotion was so loud that Lu Rui had to come forward.
"What does mother want to say?"
Xia Shumin raised her small face, which was small and fair, with delicate features, curved eyebrows and pretty nose, and eyes full of joy.
Lu Rui sighed and pointed to her paper full of things: "You brought so many things back, the immortal doesn't blame you?"
Blame? How come, it's just going to the supermarket to buy things, and the "immortals" who sell the goods welcome her very much.
Xia Shumin shook her head with a playful smile.
"What is the fairyland like?"
"The fairy world..."
Listening to her mother's question, all the memories about the last time she went to Earth flooded out of Xia Shumin's mind.
There are many, many people, the wide and straight roads, the roaring and speeding cars, and the feasting and feasting at night, which seems to be human but not human.
In such a fairy world of the earth, she and her son strolled along the lively streets of Fangshi, and she could go to any store she wanted and buy whatever she wanted. Sister Wan told her with a subtle smile that she would buy the whole shopping mall. No problem.
"Fine."
Lu Rui let go of her daughter's hand with a smile, let her continue writing what she wanted to buy, and jokingly said: "You can buy whatever you want, but if you don't have money, you can bring some gold leaves from home. Don't be told by your parents-in-law that you are not married yet The daughter-in-law takes the things to her mother's house."
A group of maidservants laughed.
Bringing the belongings of the husband’s family back to her mother’s house and putting them in the country of Zhao will be poked at the spine, but my uncle is a land fairy, so naturally he cannot be treated according to the rules of the mortal world.
Xia Shumin blushed with embarrassment, and said coquettishly: "Princess, my mother won't allow it..."
She blurted out, then subconsciously closed her small mouth.
The fact that the mother is a princess is still a secret. Even if it spreads, no one can do anything to Xia Mansion, but it is still not good.
Lu Rui smiled lightly, disapproving.
The surrounding maids and mother-in-law only thought they heard it wrong.
"Mother, do you want your daughter to bring something back?"
Xia Shumin bit her lips and smiled: "Daughter, I am rich in the fairy world. My son said that the Dream of the Red Chamber I wrote was well received by the 'immortals', and I can earn millions."
"A few million taels?!"
"Well, almost."
Xia Shumin showed off her reserve.
Lu Rui pinched her little face angrily, stood up and said, "I don't need anything. Yongkang County has everything. If you really want to bring it, bring a few grandchildren back."
The maidservants around laughed again.
Xia Shumin blushed and turned her head away, not looking at her mother who had nothing nice to say.
Lu Rui took a look at the two twin maidservants before leaving.
The remaining maid came up to her, chattering about what she wanted the young lady to buy.
After making a fuss for an hour, Xia Shumin finally put away the paper contentedly, and went back to the study to wait for the young master's call.
Shortly after.
The two servant girls in Green Bamboo and Green Bamboo saw their young lady disappear in front of them.
They looked at each other, and they could see the loss and reluctance in each other's eyes.
"It would be great if my uncle would also take us to the fairyland..." Cuizhu kneaded the handkerchief with her small hands.
Her sister Lu Zhu remembered the look in Madam's eyes, blushed, and said softly: "It's up to Miss and us to work hard to let Uncle stay in bed..."
"What do you want my uncle to keep?"
"Leave you idiot in the study~"
Lu Zhu walked out briskly, Cui Zhu hurriedly caught up with her and wanted to catch her and ask her clearly.
The maids are messing around, the lady has already arrived in the fairyland.
"Grand... son!"
When the little lady in a light blue double-breasted skirt appeared in front of him, Chen Ji could clearly see the astonished expression on her little face, and reached out to her to support her, and said with a smile:
"What's the matter? Surprised to see me and Zhou Wan? I told you."
It was still in Chen Ji's simple two-bedroom and one living room, and he and Zhou Wan were waiting for the arrival of the little lady.
Seeing her shocked expression, Zhou Wan's expression moved slightly.
"Not really."
Xia Shumin held the young master's hand and stood firm, and said with a smile: "Shumin thought it was in the woods in the wild last time, but I didn't expect it to be at the young master's house... Shumin still wanted to take the bus with the young master."
As she spoke, her voice became quieter, and her face blushed a little, but she still called out to Zhou Wan, sister Wan, as a greeting.
Zhou Wan felt relieved, Shu Min was indeed not so stingy.
She smiled slightly at this little lady from the ancient world of martial arts, and then glanced at Chen Ji:
"You still take the bus with Shumin? It's better to rent a car."
She didn't even dare to imagine how many people's attention would be drawn to Xia Shumin, who was so delicate and elegant, taking the bus.
Chen Ji raised his hand to admit his mistake, and smiled at Xia Shumin: "It's because I didn't think carefully, but now I have a car!"
"Sister Wan sent it?"
Xia Shumin remembered that Chen Ji had told her about it, and turned around to thank Zhou Wan, but he felt bad when the words came to his lips, so he didn't say it.
Sister Wan seems to be a family.
"A car is nothing."
Zhou Wan saw her thoughts, paused, and asked her again: "The last time Shu Min lived here? Tonight?"
"…right!"
Chen Ji bit the bullet, "I still live here... Shumin, isn't this too old?"
The house is already in the process of being purchased, and the agent is looking for it. He is too lazy to move, and usually goes to other worlds, so he just lives there.
He is here, it is impossible for Xia Shumin to go to the hotel by himself.
The same is true for the empress, but she hasn't come yet.
"whee."
Xia Shumin covered her mouth and chuckled, and comforted: "Master, don't be in a hurry. It will take at least a few months to buy a house. How long is this? Besides, it is already very difficult for you to buy a house in such a big city at such a young age. amazing!"
Her voice was so clear and sweet that Zhou Wan took a second look, and was very surprised that this guy beside him could find such an ancient lady as a blind date.
"I'm amazing?"
Chen Ji feigned surprise.
"Hmm, don't you see that Liuyi Layman's poem is full of emotion, I am sorry that I came to the capital to shelter myself in a hut without any harm; the old house in the leisurely place is humble and mixed."
The little lady's poems are really ups and downs, full of rhythm, and her petite face is also very lively and cute, which made Zhou Wan's eyes shine when she heard her poems for the first time.
Chen Ji burst out laughing.
Xia Shumin also pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly her face turned red again.
I have only been separated from the young master for less than a month, and I already miss him very much. I have written letters every morning, noon and evening...
Zhou Wan smiled at Xia Shumin and said, "Today there will be a promotional event for Shumin's Dream of the Red Chamber, are you ready?"
"Ready, ready?"
Come from the world of martial arts and have written a lot of books, but the daughter of the Sheriff’s Office, who has never held fan signings, panicked all of a sudden, walked a few steps towards Zhou Wan with her slender feet wearing brocade shoes, and said nervously:
"Sister Wan, what do you want to prepare? Sister, sister, I have never done this kind of promotion or activity."
In front of Zhou Wan, she called herself her younger sister last time.
One is age, and the other is that Sister Wan's temperament and talent are far superior to her, she knows a lot of knowledge, went to many places at a young age, and became a big shopkeeper when she came back.
"Don't worry." Zhou Wan reassured her: "Although I haven't participated in the publication's promotional activities, I think it's just to answer some questions from the reporters, sign autographs for those who want to buy books, and then just wait to make money. "
She knew that Xia Shumin had always wanted to make money for Chen Ji to buy a house.
"Master..."
The little lady looked over weakly, until Chen Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will go with you when the time comes, and we will also make a fool of ourselves together."
As a lady, she has always been very concerned about etiquette, afraid of making a fool of herself, and was worried for a long time when she first came to Earth.
Xia Shumin felt relieved and went out with the two of them.
Going downstairs and outside the community, she saw the scene of the earth that she had been thinking of repeatedly these days.
Almost the same as last time.
A man with short hair like the young master, a woman with very little clothes showing a lot of skin, people coming and going, cars coming and going, colorful shop signs, making her dizzy.
After she appeared with Young Master and Sister Wan, many passers-by looked sideways, with amazement flashing in their eyes.
Fortunately, she already knows that people here also wear clothes with wide and long sleeves, cross collar and right lapel, not because of how special her clothes are.
"come here."
Young Master took her by the hand and came to a black car on the side of the road. She looked at the car carefully and liked its appearance.
Sister Wan dragged her into the back row and sat down. She also liked it in the car.
"Young Master, Sister Wan!"
Xia Shumin couldn't help but said, "What's the name of this car? From now on, it will be the car at home?"
Xia Mansion also has a lot of cars, as well as grooms and stables for raising horses. She heard the young master say that cars need to be parked in a garage.
"It's called Mercedes-Benz."
Zhou Wan answered her with a smile, "You will learn to drive when Shumin is free."
"Huh? Do you want to learn this? Sister Wan will teach me?"
"I can teach... but don't worry, you seem to be only sixteen..."
After realizing this, Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji in the driver's seat with strange eyes.
"Um, I'm driving, sit tight!"
Chen Ji started the car.
Xia Shumin who was sitting in the back of the car grabbed the seat belt and whispered, "Shumin Shiliu can also get married..."
Beside her, Zhou Wan couldn't help but hold her forehead, unable to listen any longer.
Is this guy Chen Ji a blessing from his previous life? Such an ancient talented woman and young lady who continued to write the Dream of Red Mansions, but she devoted her whole heart to him, so she identified him.
"Zhou Wan" is also.
The car started, and the scenery outside the window flashed backwards. Zhou Wan and Xia Shumin sat behind Chen Ji together, and they were driven forward by him.
This kind of life may be quite good.
At least if the other person is Xia Shumin, she won't find it annoying.
But what did she think?
"Sister Wan, do you live in a tall building?"
Xia Shumin looked at the tall residential buildings outside the window and asked her curiously.
"I have several houses. My home is a villa. I usually live in high-rise buildings." Zhou Wan held her hand, turned her head and smiled at her: "When the promotional activities are over, I will take you to see my house. House, you can live with me tonight, don’t go to that guy’s dwelling~”
"Dwelling?"
Xia Shumin's thoughts changed sharply, and after a while, he suddenly realized: "There is a saying in "Gu Jin Zhu": Savages are round houses, shaped like snails, so they are called snail houses...Young master's house doesn't seem round?"
Zhou Wan laughed out loud, the difference between ancient and modern times is really interesting, and her memory is really good.
"How many books has Sister Shumin read?"
"I have read a little bit, but I can't compare with Sister Wan. What Sister Wan has learned is the way of managing the world, which is different from my miscellaneous books."
"Is the mouth of the sheriff's daughter so sweet?"
"Hee hee, sister Wan, don't make fun of me, my sister is so rich, maybe she is also a daughter?"
The two chatted happily in the back of the car and got along very well. Chen Ji, who drove them to the signing event, was in a good mood.
One step closer to "I want it all".
…
Xinyang Road, Wandering Bookstore.
In front of the quiet bookstore in the past, there is now a large group of people, looking forward to the direction of the intersection, as if eagerly waiting for someone to arrive.
People passing by the bookstore are very curious. These people look like fans waiting for some event, but they have seen a lot of fan meetings, but they have never seen such a strange thing:
This group of people ranged in age from 60 to 70, down to 14 or 15 years old. Some came with their parents, and some of them came with a family of five.
There are many young college students who wear glasses and look gentle and student-like.
The only thing in common is that many of them are holding a book and discussing something fiercely with each other.
"A Dream of Red Mansions?"
The passers-by finally heard clearly and reacted quickly.
"Damn it?! Today is actually a promotional signing event for Banshu's version of Dream of the Red Chamber?!"
There was a tall young man who was passing by. After learning about the situation, he was very shocked and stopped doing things. He turned around and queued up.
A couple in the distance also looked over.
"Dream of the Red Chamber signing event? Ah, I remembered, the Dream of the Red Chamber was a hit some time ago, hurry up, let's queue up too!"
The woman excitedly took her boyfriend's hand and ran over here.
"Queuing up? Wait, I remember you haven't finished reading Dream of the Red Chamber."
"You are uneducated, don't you pretend to be educated? Stupid you! I don't care, you have to get me an autograph today!"
"..."
The man was dragged away helplessly.
But as more fans arrived for the signing event of "Dream of Red Mansions", the entire bookstore was fully occupied. Under such circumstances, it was a nightmare to squeeze in to get the author's signature later.
The crowd is getting bigger and bigger, and the discussion is getting more and more intense.
"Ban Shu's version of Dream of Red Mansions has fulfilled my dream after watching Dream of Red Mansions. The author is really amazing."
"That is, the writing style, the choice of words and sentences, the foreshadowing in the front, and the poems written in the back, I am astonished!"
"Who is the author of Ban Shu? He has studied Hongxue so well...could it be him?"
Fans who were eagerly waiting for the appearance of the author who continued to write "Dream of Red Mansions" looked at an old man who came surrounded by four or five people. Seeing his calmness and the appearance of an old-school scholar, many people's eyes lit up.
"This old gentleman is Ban Shu?!"
Someone shouted.
When the words were uttered, everyone felt something was wrong again.
There is an old man whose pen name is Ban Shu, half a book is about the same, but the author name given by the publishing house is Ban Shu, there is nothing wrong.
"I?"
The old man waved his hands again and again, "I'm just a researcher of red studies, and I'm still far from writing a Dream of Red Mansions of the level of Ban Shu's version." Mr. Banshu wants an autograph."
Everyone was disappointed.
And someone has already recognized him. This is one of the authoritative experts on red studies in China, Professor Zuo Zhongmin.
"As for who the author is,"
Professor Zuo pointed to one person and laughed loudly: "I have to ask the editor-in-chief who sent me the book and asked me to review it, which made me feel ashamed!"
The embarrassment refers to the fact that he can't judge a Dream of the Red Chamber at this level.
Editor-in-chief Ren Tianhua of the Publishing House was pushed out. Facing everyone's questions, he could only say wait, wait, because he had no idea who "Mr. Ban Shu" was.
The first wait is close to half an hour.
When the autograph session was about to officially start, a handsome and sunny man was protecting two beauties, one big and one small, and squeezed into the crowd with difficulty.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Stop squeezing, why should I let you? It doesn't matter if you are handsome or pretty!"
"That's right, don't let it go, today is the signing event of Dream of Red Mansions, who will let you!"
"...No, Mr. Ban Shu, who continues to write Dream of the Red Chamber, is here, and you won't let me?"
The man shouted helplessly.
In an instant, a large group of people in front of the bookstore looked over at the same time.
"Mr. Banshu? Who?!"
A graceful lady in an ancient costume was pushed onto the stage.
She flushed her delicate and delicate face, she was very nervous, and subconsciously gave a blessing to everyone: "Everyone, the little girl is not talented, it is Mr. Ban Shu."
