Chapter 145 The Task Given to Qi Moxuan
Because of this sudden cold, many of Cui Qingyi's original plans were delayed.
After she recovered from the cold, she no longer dared to joke with her body.
Because Cui Qingyi was in poor health, the Cui family refused almost all visitors during the Chinese New Year.
By the time I could walk again, the first month of the lunar year was almost over.
Qi Moxuan and Fan Hui, a couple, brought Qi Yuan to visit Cui Qingyi for the New Year. During their casual conversation, Qi Moxuan heard Cui Qingyi say that she wanted to adapt Qingtian Ji and Xiyuan Jilu into storytelling scripts. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, that won't work. Although I run a bookstore business, I have never written a storybook myself.
Besides, this storybook was originally written by you, so if it is to be adapted into a storyteller's script, it should be done by you."
Qi Moxuan was sincerely refusing. He didn't think he had the ability. If he did, why hadn't he noticed it all these years?
Cui Qingyi was sitting in front of the window wrapped in a cloak. The sun was shining brightly today and the window in the living room was open. A ray of sunlight shone through the window onto her, making her feel warm and a little lazy.
She raised her hand and pointed at Konjac who was sitting beside her. "Look, I'd like to do it myself, but the housekeeper won't let me."
Cui Qingyi's cold this time was severe and lingered for many days without complete recovery, which really scared Konjac.
She had always thought that both the girl and herself were in good health, but she had never expected that a cold could be so troublesome. Therefore, not only was Cui Qingyi forbidden to worry about outside affairs during her recovery, but even after she recovered, she was also forbidden to overwork.
Both writing the storybook and adapting it are extremely laborious and exhausting tasks. Konjac is determined not to allow Cui Qingyi to do it at this time. Even Cui Qingyi herself feels that she cannot rely on her youth and capital to ruin her body so unscrupulously.
She tried to persuade Qi Moxuan, "You know I'm planning to open a teahouse outside the city, but this teahouse is boring because it's all the same. There should be something new.
So I thought of adapting the contents of Qing Tian Ji and Xi Yuan Ji Lu and letting storytellers tell them in teahouses.
Mr. Nancheng's books are now very popular not only in Dongping County but also in the entire Qinghe County. When the teahouse opens, I will make a big sign with Mr. Nancheng's name and put it outside. My teahouse will definitely be crowded with customers.
Shopkeeper Qi, I'll have someone make a Moxiang Study sign and put it in the most conspicuous place in my teahouse. Do you think that's feasible?"
Qi Moxuan... "Ahem, it's not impossible, but I really have never written a storybook. How about I give it a try?"
As early as when Moxiangzhai reopened, Qi Moxuan had already realized the huge impact of this small signboard.
Moreover, what Cui Qingyi just said suddenly gave him an idea. Dongping County may not look big, but even in the county, not everyone knows about his Moxiangzhai. If it is true that the teahouse is crowded with customers as Cui Qingyi said, then putting the Moxiangzhai sign in the most conspicuous position in the teahouse would be a form of publicity.
After the storyteller starts his lecture, maybe Moxiangzhai will be able to attract a new group of customers.
The important thing is that after he has learned this method, can he seek cooperation with other shops in the county?
In the past, when Qi Moxuan and Cui Qingyi were discussing business matters, Fan Hui never interrupted them. But now, she couldn't help but say, "Just give it a try. Not everyone is born with these skills. We can learn if we don't know how to do them."
Fan Hui used to be so envious of Cui Qingyi and Konjac that she only wanted Qi Yuan to learn skills from them. However, after Qi Yuan became their apprentice, she gradually realized that finding a master for a child is not only about learning skills, but also about learning how to be a good person.
For example, although Qi Yuan was very sensible and well-behaved when he followed her and had a kind heart, this child had a problem: he was timid. When he encountered troubles and difficulties, the first thing he thought of was to give up or call for his mother.
After entering the Cui family, she gradually discovered that the child had changed a lot. Whenever he encountered any difficulties, he would think of solutions himself at the first time, and he would not blindly act if he really couldn't solve the problem.
Fan Hui also slowly summed up these things herself later. Qi Yuan was growing up along the way, and she, as a mother, was also learning from her child.
Now that Cui Qingyi is willing to entrust such an important matter to Qi Moxuan, she also hopes that Qi Moxuan can try to do it.
Seeing that their children are getting better and better, they, as parents, cannot hold their children back.
He originally came here to stay and see the patients, but he didn't expect to receive a task. Although he kept saying that he was not capable of it, Qi Moxuan was no longer focused on drinking tea and chatting. He couldn't wait to start thinking about how to make changes in his mind so that the two stories of Mr. Nancheng could play the best effect in the mouths of storytellers.
Looking at him holding the teacup in a daze, Fan Hui smiled at Cui Qingyi and Konjac, feeling that her life now was really hopeful.
Cui Qingyi was also quite happy. It was only after this illness that she realized that she had unconsciously relaxed a lot. In the past, she was under the pressure of the Cui and Chen families, and she had always lived cautiously to protect her hard-earned life.
It took her nineteen years of careful planning and prudence to escape from the sea of suffering, but after less than two years of good times, she began to become a little proud.
Cui Qingyi secretly warned herself to slow down her pace in the future and make herself less noticeable and prominent.
At least on the surface, she needs to completely sever her connection with Mr. Nancheng. The storybook can only be performed in the teahouse, and someone else can take on this responsibility.
As for Qinqiang and shadow puppetry, Cui Qingyi is not too worried. The history of Qinqiang can even be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the history of shadow puppetry can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty.
The Jin Dynasty was now a powerful nation, and they had seen not only domestic caravans traveling north and south, but even foreign caravans. It was perfectly reasonable for a caravan to bring dramas from the northwest to Dongping County. As long as they had a provenance, there was no need to worry about problems.
Moreover, Cui Qingyi had previously asked the caravan and the escort agency to keep an eye out for and look for actors who were willing to live in Dongping County. This way, the matter was completed in a closed loop.
After arranging everything, Cui Qingyi felt relieved and concentrated on waiting for the ground to thaw in spring.
As for the person she was waiting for, he never came.
.........
Dongping County is thousands of miles away from the imperial city. If people don't deliberately inquire, it often takes a long time for what happened in the capital to reach Dongping County. Therefore, it was not until the imperial edict came down that the people of Dongping County knew that their local official had been promoted.
The common people were confused as to what official position he was promoted to, but although Zhou Yanxiu was promoted, he did not leave Dongping County, and he was still fully responsible for all the affairs of Dongping County.
Cui Qingyi also learned what had happened from Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin rarely mentioned anything about Zhou Yanxiu to Cui Qingyi, but she was happy during this New Year and couldn't help but mention it when she came to visit Cui Qingyi.
