Upstairs at Fengming Tower, Wanwan sipped tea while listening to a storyteller recount a tale, which happened to be one she had written.
With so many wonderful TV dramas to draw upon, how could someone with modern memories not write them into books and make money from them?
The book the storyteller was talking about was the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, which was nearing its end, with the battle between Li Xiaoyao and the Evil Sword Immortal taking place.
To better enjoy the audiobook, Wanwan and her three brothers were seated in the guest seats on the second floor, not in the private box. Her three brothers were still saying, "Little sister, I don't know how your brain works, you actually came up with such a wonderful story!"
The eldest brother, Batu Rui, is a simple-minded person with strong limbs. Although he is strong in martial arts, he is not as intelligent as his second and third brothers.
In fact, after Wanwan learned that the system's pills could be used by her family, she used the health-strengthening pills - Jian Ti Wan - on her father and three older brothers.
But this still doesn't change the fact that the eldest brother is simple-minded but physically strong.
The third brother, A Luo, has a very strong business sense. When his younger sister had just finished writing the plot of Chinese Paladin 3, he had already thought about how to make money.
Besides Fengminglou, Gu Ning also gifted her three other brothers different restaurants for their birthdays.
This is meant to be used as his own private savings. After all, my older brother is already fifteen years old, and as someone who is about to get married, how can he not have his own private savings?
But I digress. Let's get back to the main topic.
When the story was finished, the third brother told his sister, "Wanwan, I think this story you wrote is very wonderful, so I want to tell it in our restaurant."
In Wanwan's eyes, besides family, food and money were the most important things. The two hit it off immediately and agreed on how to divide the profits.
Since storytelling is not difficult—all you need is a stage and a storyteller—Wanwan takes the lion's share of the profits from writing the story, with the final split being 30/70.
The story was getting to an exciting point, and it must be said that the storytellers of ancient times were quite capable, telling the story in a dazzling and captivating way that attracted a lot of attention.
This has brought a large influx of customers to Fengming Tower, since for a little money, one can spend an entire afternoon listening to stories.
They listened with great interest in their seats, while in the adjacent private room, Emperor Kangxi was also listening to the story at Fengming Tower.
It was already afternoon, and Kangxi and Wu Ciyou had finished their conversation. In fact, Kangxi had asked Wu Ciyou for advice on how to be an official, etc. At this time, Wu Ciyou did not know that Kangxi was the emperor.
Coincidentally, after Emperor Kangxi had consulted the storyteller several times, he saw many people entering Fengming Tower, saying as they walked, "This storyteller is really wonderful; I must hurry and grab a seat."
After hearing the story of Chinese Paladin 3 that day, Emperor Kangxi was captivated by the exciting plot. From then on, every time he went out of the palace incognito, he would come to Fengming Tower to listen to his uncle tell stories.
(Note: This does not count towards the character limit of the main text.)
Based on the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" that I've watched, before Kangxi assumed personal rule, he frequently left the palace incognito to seek out Wu Ciyou and learn from him. In Kangxi's eyes, Wu Ciyou was a capable minister, but Wu Ciyou disdained the corruption of officialdom and did not take up an official position. Therefore, Wu Ciyou could be considered Kangxi's teacher. Later, as the emperor's tutor, Wu Ciyou also wrote a letter of recommendation to Kangxi, and the person who recommended him was Zhou Peigong.
Wanwan's elder brother was Kangxi's study companion, also known as Haha Zhuzi. He had been with Kangxi since he was a child, so Kangxi could naturally recognize Wanyan Batu Rui's voice.
What surprised Kangxi the most was that the book was actually written by a baby girl.
As Kangxi's personal attendant, Kangxi naturally knew about Wanyan Batu Rui's family situation, knowing that he had two younger brothers and a younger sister.
The more Kangxi listened, the more he wanted to meet the person who wrote the story. Kangxi gave Gu Wenxing a wink, and Gu Wenxing understood Kangxi's meaning. At this time, Kangxi's chief eunuch was not Liang Jiugong, but Gu Wenxing.
The advisor quietly walked to the door of the private room, opened it, and slightly lifted the curtain so that Kangxi could see what was happening outside.
This glance also made Kangxi lose his composure. Although Wanwan had disguised herself, what man looked so pure and fair-skinned?
