When they thought that they would never have the chance to eat such delicious food again, they had an urge to stay with Shen Yizi.
Looking at the leftovers on the table, I even wanted to pack them up and take them away.
However, when Shen Yizhi took out a pile of packed food for them to take away, the three of them, grandfather and grandson, became happy again.
Even Pei Xianzhi, the little fox who never showed his emotions, smiled this time, revealing his little white teeth.
Pei Muzhi was just enjoying himself and didn't take the opportunity to laugh at him.
"Zhizhi, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days. You and your mother must come to your uncle's house, and we can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoy the moon together."
In front of the gate, Pei Qianlin held Shen Yizhi's hand reluctantly, not wanting to let go, and repeatedly gave him instructions.
Gu Xueting freed Shen Yizhi's hand from his and held it in his hand: "Uncle, Zhizhi and I have to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet that day. I'm afraid we can't go to Pei Mansion to watch the moon with you."
Pei Qianlin slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. If I can't appreciate the moon, then don't do it. The moon is there every year and every month. There is nothing to appreciate. The key is to eat, eat."
Pei Qianlin is a down-to-earth person. He does not have the poetic sentimentality of the pedantic literati who are sad about autumn and the moon. Appreciating the moon is just a casual remark made by him.
Shen Yizhi smiled and agreed: "Okay, we will definitely go then."
Pei Qianlin touched the heads of Qing Bao and the other two one by one, then he mounted his horse and left in high spirits.
In the carriage, Pei Xianzhi and his brother stuck their heads out of the window and waved to the people at the door.
Normally, one should return home on the same day, but in Shen Yizi's case, everyone in the family listened to her. If she wanted to stay for one night, none of the other family members would object, so the whole family happily stayed.
At night, Shen Yizhi left Qing Bao and the other two to Gu Xueting's care, and lay in the same bed with Pei Xiang.
The mother and daughter were talking in private.
Pei Xiang told Shen Yizhi a lot of interesting stories from her past.
From time to time, the mother and daughter's laughter could be heard from the tent.
At a certain moment, "Shen Jianghan" reminded outside: "Yibao, it's getting late now, you and your mother should go to bed."
Just at this moment, Pei Xiang yawned loudly, and a tear of sleep appeared in the corner of his eye.
Shen Yizhi replied to the outside: "I know, Dad, we'll go to bed now."
She winked at Pei Xiang playfully: "Mom, Dad is raising you as a daughter now, and is afraid that you will affect your development if you sleep late."
Pei Xiang pinched her face with her little hand, "Humph, if I don't like it, how can he control me?"
So, it's a matter of both parties being willing to fight and be beaten?
Shen Yizhi saw through it but didn't say anything. He hugged her in his arms and patted her on the back: "Okay, go to sleep."
Pei Xiang snuggled in his daughter's sweet and soft arms and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Yizhi and his family had breakfast before leaving.
The carriage was driving on the road, and when it passed a bookstore, Shen Yizi saw a lot of people gathered outside, making a lot of noise. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense and found that those people were actually there to buy the new work of the best-selling vernacular author Hong Chenke - "The Immortal Lord Is Above".
Seeing those people fighting over this novel, Shen Yizi couldn't help but develop a strong curiosity about "The Immortal Lord Is Above".
How good is this novel that so many people are rushing to buy it?
Shen Yizhi stopped the carriage and asked Gu Xueting to run errands for her to buy one.
Gu Xueting rode his horse to the window, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "No need to buy, we have a complete set at home."
Shen Yizhi blinked, somewhat puzzled. How did he know that I would be interested in this novel and prepare it in advance? Gu Xueting smiled meaningfully: "I'll tell you when I get back."
With Qingbao and the other three curious kids accompanying them, the journey that should have taken less than a quarter of an hour ended up taking them a whole morning.
It was already noon when we got home.
During the meal, Gu Xueting explained to Shen Yizhi: "I asked someone to find Hong Chenke to write the book "The Immortal Lord" according to the story I provided. After he finished writing, he gave me the manuscript. After I read it, I asked him to revise it several times. Then I took the manuscript to the bookstore for printing. Later, I asked people to promote it in teahouses, taverns, and restaurants. Then this book "The Immortal Lord" became popular."
Shen Yizhi was even more confused after hearing this. When did he become interested in novel publishing? And why did he go to so much trouble to get people to promote it everywhere?
If you say it's for making money, isn't that a joke?
Gu Xueting smiled mysteriously, "Once you read this storybook, you will know why I did this."
His words made Shen Yizi lose his appetite. He quickly finished his meal and started reading "The Immortal Lord".
After reading the first three chapters, she knew Gu Xueting’s intention!
A young boy who was being hunted by his enemies fell off a cliff and was seriously injured. He was rescued by Rong Xiaoxian, the leader of the Divine Doctor Sect. He then met the beautiful and gentle young leader of the Divine Doctor Sect.
This is the content of the first three chapters. After reading it, Shen Yizhi felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
Isn't the Divine Doctor Sect in the novel an allusion to the Immortal Doctor Sect? The name of the sect leader is the same, Rong Xiaoxian, and you can tell at a glance that it is an allusion to Rong Xianer.
And the plot where the boy was chased and fell off a cliff and was saved by Rong Xiaoxian, isn't it the same experience that Han Baoluo's mother had back then? It's just that the gender of the characters has been changed.
"Do you want to expose the evil deeds of the Immortal Doctor Sect through this storybook?" Shen Yizhi immediately guessed Gu Xueting's intention.
Gu Xueting nodded and was about to speak when Shen Yizi stopped him.
"Wait, don't tell me yet, let me guess."
She rolled the novel into a cylinder and held it against her chin. "The Immortal Doctors travel the world under the guise of saving people, but in fact, they are the creators of disasters, just to appear as saviors when people are desperate and in distress. The Immortal Doctors do this to collect merits.
“The image of the Immortal Doctor Sect that saves people from suffering is too deeply rooted in people’s minds. If their deeds were made public, people would probably not believe them. But if they were exposed through a storybook, some people would always be suspicious, and it would be difficult for the Immortal Doctor Sect to take action again.
"And the things that the Immortal Doctor Sect did in the past are not without any clues. Once someone investigates, they will always find something. Even if they can't find anything, you will definitely take the opportunity to hand them the evidence you have already collected. By then, the image that the Immortal Doctor Sect has worked so hard to build will collapse overnight, and the whole world will curse them. Rong Xian'er will not be able to collect merits anymore, am I right?"
Gu Xueting tapped her nose and said lovingly, "That's right."
The power of gossip and public opinion is enormous. With the vigorous publicity and promotion of Gu Xueting's subordinates, the novel "The Immortal Lord Is Above" became popular in the imperial capital and radiated outward at an extremely fast speed.
Storytellers brought the novel "The Immortal Lord" into teahouses, and opera troupes brought it to the stage. This resulted in the fact that even though most people did not read the storybook, they could still tell the plot clearly.
In this novel, the Divine Doctor Sect is a deeply hidden villain who frequently harms the protagonist. In order to practice evil magic, they constantly create disasters in various places and appear as saviors to deceive the world.
Readers/listeners/fans all hate it.
