Chapter 280: Weird ancient version of rules?
Because of the new rules and various rewards introduced by Mo Zhishan after he came to the Imperial College, the students worked harder in their studies.
Almost all students in the Imperial College studied hard in order to compete for the top few places in every examination, and the Shen brothers were no exception.
After dinner, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng returned to their own courtyard to continue reviewing. Shen Huazheng accompanied Shen Zhaonian and Zhou to drink tea for a while, and then returned to her own courtyard.
Not long after she returned to the yard, someone came to report that Ah Fu, the servant beside Shen Keheng, had come, apparently to deliver something for Shen Keheng.
Shen Huazheng put down the notebook in her hand and said, "Let him in."
Ah Fu came to the yard and respectfully presented the things in his hands: "County Lady, this is what the Third Young Master asked me to bring to you."
When Shen Keheng returned to the yard, he took out the book and started to recite silently. He accidentally saw the storybook that Wei Yu had given him.
He was just about to put the storybook away when he suddenly remembered that Shen Huazheng seemed to like reading this type of story, so he had someone send it over.
Anyway, he didn't have time to read it before the exam, so he might as well give it to Shen Huazheng first.
Wait until he finishes the exam and then take a look at what the storybook is about.
Did the third brother have someone send it?
Chen Huazheng glanced at Qingzhi, who immediately understood.
She came to Ah Fu, took the book from him, and presented it to Chen Huazheng.
"The Third Young Master said that the county lady would like this book, so he asked me to deliver it to you."
Chen Huazheng looked at the title of the book - "Folk Strange Stories - The Wishing Wooden Box"
It should be a story about folk ghost stories, she really likes it.
"The name should be quite interesting. Thank you, Third Brother."
After finishing his task, Ah Fu received the reward money from Qingzhi and the snacks from Shen Huazheng, and went back happily to report.
Shen Huazheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
She originally wanted to continue reading the storybook she was reading before, but after thinking about it, she picked up the storybook that Shen Keheng had someone send her.
In modern times, Shen Huazheng also read a strange story about a wooden box.
It is about a mysterious wooden box in an abandoned classroom of a school. The wooden box has the ability to make people's wishes come true, but the person who makes the wish will have to pay a certain price every time.
However, each person can only make three wishes.
If it happens more than three times, something strange and unexpected will happen.
Those who were overly greedy in the story were eventually swallowed by the wooden box.
At that time, Shen Huazheng also read that story at night, and it was quite exciting.
I don’t know if the story in this Yijilu is similar to that story.
As Shen Huazheng thought about it, she turned to the first page and started reading.
Like the previous story, the wooden box in this story is not an ordinary wooden box, but a wooden box that can help people fulfill their wishes.
As I watched, an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over me.
The book not only mentions the food street, but also blind box drinks.
That mysterious wooden box is the one used to draw blind box drinks.
Seeing this, Chen Huazheng finally understood that the wishing wooden box mentioned here is the wooden box for drawing blind boxes in the food court.
However, considering the recent rumors in the capital, she didn't find it strange.
Shen Huazheng continued to read on and saw the last sentence of this page -
"When making a wish, you must remember the following rules, otherwise you may make a big mistake due to your own carelessness."
She was slightly startled. There are rules? ?
Shen Huazheng turned another page and continued reading.
She was still quite curious about this story.
"Rule One: When making a wish to the box, bow respectfully and sincerely."
"Rule 2: Sincerity is the key to success. Don't let your mind wander when you make a wish. Only think about what you want. Remember, don't be indecisive."
"Rule three: When making a wish, you must never look directly at the box. You must keep your eyes closed the entire time and keep a humble heart at all times."
“Rule Four: If your wish comes true, bow again and leave with a grateful heart.”
"Rule Five: If your wish is not fulfilled, you must not feel resentful. You can repeat rules one, two, three, and four."
Shen Huazheng: …
Is this an ancient version of the Rules of Weirdness? ?
But having said that, the person who wrote this storybook is quite interesting.
I don't know who wrote this story.
Shen Huazheng picked up the teacup, took a big sip of tea, and sorted out his thoughts.
Originally, according to their thinking, all the rumors and hearsay in the capital were temporary.
After this period of time, no one will talk about the blind box wooden box in the food court anymore.
But now, not only do the rumors show no signs of dying down, related scripts have already come out.
Chen Huazheng could even foresee what would happen next. As various versions of the rumors spread, the wooden box for drawing blind boxes in the food court would likely become a check-in destination for many people.
However, this is not actually a bad thing for the food street.
It can even be said that this is a good thing that can attract traffic.
Tomorrow she will have to have a good talk with her cousin Ying and Aning to see how to catch this wave of traffic.
…
"What? Someone has already written about that wooden box in a storybook?"
The next day, when Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying came to the Shen Mansion, Shen Huazheng told them about this matter, which shocked them so much that they couldn't close their mouths.
Princess Lejia really couldn’t figure out what magic the wooden box for drawing blind boxes had, so why did the rumors just keep sticking to it?
Zhou Ying closed the book in her hand and said, "It's quite interesting. The short story at the end is also quite interesting."
Princess Lejia took the notebook from Zhou Ying's hand and opened it.
She wanted to see what interesting story could be written with such a strange name.
As she watched, Princess Lejia took a deep breath.
Well, it’s indeed well written…
This storybook should sell very well.
Damn it, why didn’t she think of writing about this wooden box in the storybook?
Who wrote it before her?
No, now is not the time to think about that.
She should think carefully about whether there is anything else in the food court that can be written about.
So as to avoid being overtaken by others.
If that really happens, she will be so angry that she will die.
Shen Huazheng looked at the two people opposite: "Before, we thought about letting the rumors die down slowly and ignoring them. But now it seems that these rumors will not die down for a while."
"In that case, we might as well use these rumors to think about how to increase the sales of the food court."
Princess Lejia: "Zheng Zheng, you are so smart!!"
Zhou Ying also nodded: "Zheng'er, what you said makes sense. Now that the relevant script has appeared, I believe the flow of people in the food court will be even greater in the future. We can indeed launch some new products in the milk tea area."
Chen Huazheng: "Not only the milk tea area, but also the rest of the areas can be promoted with this momentum."
Zhou Ying smiled and said, "Yes, we should really seize the opportunity and make good arrangements."
