Wenlanzhai is decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style. At first glance, it appears elegant and refined, but to a discerning eye, each piece inside is worth a fortune.

However, Bai Tian and Jiang Dai were not the ones who knew its value.

Jiang Dai picked up a copy of "The Legend of the Stone Monkey" and flipped through it briefly.

[This really hasn't been changed at all; it's a complete copy of what the storyteller at Shiwei Restaurant told me!]

Curly, being held by her father, glanced at him and realized that she still needed to study more.

There were many characters in the book "The Legend of the Stone Monkey" that her mother was holding that she didn't recognize yet.

But if Mother says it's copied exactly, then it's copied exactly.

Jiang Dai wandered around the study, finally picking up a copy of "The Legend of the Stone Monkey" to pay, just like any other book lover: "When will the second volume be published?"

The shopkeeper chuckled, "Wait a minute! Such a captivating biography isn't so easy to write!"

Jiang Dai smiled brightly: "Shopkeeper, who wrote this? It's so well-written, I would very much like to pay them a visit."

Seeing that the woman in front of him was indeed beautiful and had even given him extra money, the shopkeeper said, "I don't know this person. I only know that this was given by the master. I'm also curious about who wrote this. Let him write more."

Jiang Dai smiled, thanked the shopkeeper, and left with the book.

Bai Tian and the others immediately followed, turning around and heading to a teahouse.

Jiang Dai placed the stone monkey she was holding onto the table.

"So? Have you got any ideas?" Bai Tian asked.

"It is indeed a copy, but this is my own work after all, and no one can steal what's in my head."

Jiang Dai wasn't in a hurry. She was now completely certain that the story of the Stone Monkey in the capital must have come from a storyteller.

Since the other party heard it from a storyteller, they would naturally have to travel between Songyuan County and the capital, which would take the most time.

Jiang Dai slowly revealed her thoughts:

“If I hadn’t come to the capital, this person could have easily copied the storytellers’ tales from Songyuan County and then sold them in the capital without any problem.”

"But the problem now is that I'm here, and we can produce the sequel the fastest without having to travel at all."

"Now that they've already made a name for themselves with The Legend of the Stone Monkey, let's take advantage of this momentum and release a sequel to make money."

"When reading storybooks, it's all about the time difference; the first batch to come out is the most valuable."

Bai Tian nodded: "That's true. Then let's start working on the follow-up before they do."

"However, before we go out, we need to find out if there is any protection for vernacular stories in the capital, and we also need to find out about the owner of Wenlanzhai."

Bai Tian is quite shrewd when it comes to business.

Doing business in Songyuan County doesn't actually require much extra attention, because there are only a few wealthy households, so there are very few disputes or conflicts.

But once you get to the capital, the relationships become much more complicated, and there are many more things to be careful about.

"For someone from the capital to have such a discerning eye as to move people from such a small county as Songyuan, it's truly..."

Bai Tian couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Juanjuan beside him: "Did you understand what your parents were saying?"

Juanjuan, who was suddenly called out, paused for a moment, then nodded.

She can probably understand.

"Don't you find it boring?"

Juanjuan shook her head: "Not boring."

Looking at his bright and adorable little daughter, Bai Tian couldn't help but say, "Since you're not bored, it's not a bad thing for you to stay with your parents and listen to these things."

That's how he was raised when he was a child.

Sometimes, by subtly integrating education into daily life, one naturally learns through constant exposure.

[Especially the children in ancient times, they were all so precocious. It's best not to raise Juanjuan to be too innocent.]
