"The four famous novels from the Ming and Qing dynasties are the most influential and can increase my Literary Name. They are also the most profitable. However, there are too many words and I need to cultivate the market. Lastly, there are some things that I have never touched before and I need to buy relevant books to cover them up. Therefore, the most suitable novels for me to write are the short and medium length novels of the Tang dynasty. I will wait for the Tang dynasty to cultivate some readers before I write those long novels. In the future, I can write the history of the later generations into novels. This way, it will be much more convenient to use poems and allusions. "
Fang Yun thought for a while and decided to target the most influential novel of the Tang dynasty, "Legend of the Oriole". The famous Yuan Dynasty song "Romance of the Western Chamber" was adapted from this novel. This novel had a very high historical and literary status. Once it was published, it would definitely cause a sensation in the current Saint Origin World.
The famous writer and literary critic of the Qing dynasty, Jin Shengtan, once rated "Six Talents Books" and compared "Romance of the Western Chamber" to "Water Margin", "Records of the Grand Historian" and Du Fu's poems.
"However, the original text of" Legend of the Oriole "is too short, only about three thousand words. It can't be written into a book and can't be sold for a good price. The ending of this short novel is tragic and the story doesn't suit the taste of the current Saint Origin World readers. "
"The adapted version of" Romance of the Western Chamber "is the final happy ending. Since" Romance of the Western Chamber "has the greatest influence and the story is stronger than" Legend of the Oriole ", then I should focus on" Romance of the Western Chamber ". However, I can't keep anything that isn't suitable for Saint Origin World." Fang Yun thought.
Therefore, Fang Yun began to search for Yuan Dynasty songs or novels related to "Legend of the Oriole" and "Romance of the Western Chamber". Then, he slowly pieced together a new novel.
The full text of "Romance of the Western Chamber" was about fifty thousand words. However, since it was a Yuan Dynasty song, a lot of it had to be edited out.
At this time, a book only had one hundred and sixty words per side and three hundred and twenty words per page. Fang Yun decided to compress this number to thirty thousand words and make a hundred pages. In this era, it was already considered a novel.
After an hour of hard work, Fang Yun took the essence of the "Legend of Ying Ying", "Romance of the Western Chamber", and other books. He removed or changed the elements that were not suitable for the Saint Origin World and wrote a new "Romance of the Western Chamber".
This story was similar to the original 《Romance of the Western Chamber》, but there were some differences. It was about an official's daughter, Cui Yingying, who was forced to marry the son of the Prime Minister in order to protect her father. However, before the marriage, she met a poor scholar from a poor family. The two fell in love and fell in love. Later, the poor scholar became the top scholar in the imperial examination and competed with the son of the Prime Minister in poetry. In the end, he won and married Cui Yingying.
"The story of the loser getting rid of the tall, rich, and handsome man and pushing down the fair, rich, and beautiful woman is indeed an eternal theme. Should I write an ancient costume version of Titanic? Forget it. "
Fang Yun couldn't help but chuckle.
A new copy of the Romance of the Western Chamber was stored in the World of Wondrous Books. Then, Fang Yun began to grind the ink and write.
Fang Yun named the poor scholar in the Romance of the Western Chamber as "Fang Zhiyun". Cui Yingying's name was unchanged, but he changed the son of the Prime Minister to "Liu Zizheng". When he thought of Liu Zicheng's expression when he saw this book, he wanted to laugh.
In this way, Fang Yun didn't need to explain too much. Everyone guessed that Fang Yun must have been bullied and humiliated by Liu Zicheng. He was angry and used his own experience as a model to write this wondrous book.
The entire book was in the World of Wondrous Books. Fang Yun didn't need to think at all. He just kept writing on the paper.
The books of this era didn't have sentences to read. Fang Yun added commas, periods, and colons for the first time in the book. As for the other punctuation, he didn't add any. In addition, he also divided the book into paragraphs to make the reading experience better.
"The story is moving, the punctuation is astonishing. I don't believe that this book won't be popular! The Confucians here were much more open-minded than those of ancient Earth. Once they realized that punctuation was more convenient than sentences, they would definitely use it quickly. This was especially true for the military. This was because punctuation could minimize misreading and ambiguity, and prevent problems with military orders. The novel didn't have much talent, but this book should at least be written in Da Fu! After a long time, it will definitely be written in Ming Province. However, this time, I must preserve the original manuscript well. "
Fang Yun wrote rapidly. Unknowingly, it was already night time. He hurriedly ate dinner and asked Yang Yuhuan to leave him a supper before continuing to write.
The night was already dark, but he had night vision. The night didn't affect him in the slightest. He continued to write rapidly.
Fang Daniu went to sleep first. The little fox didn't wake up at all.
Late at night, Fang Yun finished his supper and continued to write until dawn. He wrote for a total of twelve hours. His arms were sore and he couldn't write anymore. Only then did he go to sleep.
After only three hours of sleep, he got up and ate breakfast before continuing to write.
When it was close to noon, the room was filled with the fragrance of food. Fang Yun rubbed his sore wrists and stopped writing to rest.
Constantly writing calligraphy was very tiring. If it wasn't for the constant nourishment of talent and good food, he would have fallen ill from exhaustion.
"Hmm …"
Fang Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the little fox in the bamboo basket had already woken up. It was looking at Fang Yun with its black eyes, revealing an innocent and cute expression. It looked silly.
The little fox sniffed and kept sniffing. It turned its head towards the door and a fragrance floated in from outside.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "You're awake? Don't tell me you woke up from hunger? "
The little fox immediately revealed a shy expression and lowered its head. It was too embarrassed to look at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was astonished. Could it be that this little fox could understand human language?
"Come, I'll carry you to eat." Fang Yun said as he walked over.
Unexpectedly, the little fox struggled to run. However, its four limbs felt like they were stepping on cotton. It had no strength at all. In the end, it could only curl up and look at Fang Yun with a terrified and pleading gaze. It seemed to be asking him not to hurt it.
Fang Yun slowly reached out and placed his hand in front of the little fox. He didn't touch it.
The little fox felt that Fang Yun didn't have any ill intentions. The fear in its eyes disappeared and was replaced by a pleading expression.
"If I hurt you, you would have died outside the city. Would you still be alive?" Fang Yun said.
The little fox immediately revealed a thoughtful expression. Its pleading expression gradually faded.
Fang Yun reached out and patted its head. It revealed an unwilling and helpless expression.
"Let's go." Fang Yun reached out and carried it.
The little fox didn't like being carried by Fang Yun. It struggled with all its might. Unfortunately, it was too small. Fang Yun could stop it with one hand.
"If you move again, I'll throw you out of the city and let the demons chasing you eat you."
The little fox's body suddenly trembled. It actually stopped struggling. It pitifully looked up at Fang Yun with tears in its eyes.
"If you're obedient, I'll let you stay here. Once you're healed, it's up to you whether you want to stay or leave. How about it? "Fang Yun asked.
The little fox subconsciously nodded.
Fang Yun asked with a smile, "You can understand human language?"
The little fox was stunned. Its bright black eyes looked around and then it firmly shook its head. It seemed to say that it didn't understand.
Fang Yun laughed at the silly fox's words.
The little fox revealed a confused expression. It seemed to be saying, "Why don't you believe me after shaking my head?"
"I'll call you Little Dumb Fox from now on." Fang Yun said with a smile.
Who would have thought that the little fox's expression would immediately change. It angrily called out twice, objecting to this name.
"You won't tell me your name. Who's to blame? Little Dumb Fox. "
The little fox was anxious. It hurriedly called out, "Nuu! Nuu! "
"You're called Nuu?" Fang Yun found it strange that a fox would have such a name. However, it sounded pretty good.
The little fox immediately nodded happily. It was even a little proud.
"Nuu, let's eat together."
Nuu immediately nodded vigorously. Her eyes were abnormally bright.
Fang Yun held Nuu with his left hand and opened the door with his right. Who would have thought that Nuu would suddenly call out softly.
Fang Yun looked down. Nuu was actually shy again. The snow white fur on her face seemed to have turned a little pink. She was using her two little paws to cover her face.
Fang Yun couldn't understand why Nuu was shy. After taking two steps, he found that his left hand was warm. It seemed like he was holding Nuu's stomach.
"Could it be that she's shy because of this?" Fang Yun immediately moved his finger and rubbed her stomach.
"Nuu …" Nuu's voice was shy and anxious. There was also a trace of grievance.
Fang Yun coughed lightly. He stopped teasing Nuu and walked into the main house.
The style of the normal houses at this time was basically the same. The houses were divided into east and west rooms. Both rooms had brick beds.
Between the two rooms was the main house. There were two stoves near the door. They could be used to cook and also to keep warm in the winter. The dining table and other things were placed in the innermost part of the main house. It was a living room and dining room. It was relatively small.
Fang Yun guessed that this fragrant fox wasn't an ordinary animal. It should be a demon. However, since the Holy Temple of the Da Yuan Mansion didn't suppress it, it proved that it was harmless. Therefore, he didn't have to worry about bringing it out to eat.
Yang Yuhuan was very happy to see the little fox awake. She said to Fang Yundao, "You stayed up late last night and kept writing in the morning. I was afraid that you wouldn't be full, so I stewed an extra chicken. You've become a scholar and your appetite has increased. I'm not sure. "
Nuu looked at Yang Yuhuan curiously. Then, she looked at the main house with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
"Thank you, Sister Yuhuan," Fang Yundao said.
"We're family. Why are you thanking me?" Yang Yuhuan said.
Nuu saw the two chickens in the casserole. Her eyes lit up as if her gaze was glued to it.
"Let's eat together. Aunt Jiang, prepare a small bowl for Nuu. She'll only use it in the future, "Fang Yundao said.
"Okay."
Fang Yundao placed Nuu on the ground. Then, he placed an empty small bowl in front of her.
Nuu sat in front of the small bowl obediently. She looked up at Fang Yundao like a child, but there seemed to be a trace of saliva at the corner of her mouth.
The four of them sat down one after another. Yang Yuhuan first put a chicken drumstick into Fang Yundao's bowl and said, "All four drumsticks are for you."
Although Fang Yundao's status was different now, he did not look down on Grandma Jiang and Fang Daniu. In his eyes, they were still relatives and neighbors. In the future, they might not dare to eat at the same table with him. But since they were at the same table now, he would treat them as guests.
"One drumstick per person. It's just right. Sister Yuhuan, you can divide it. "Fang Yundao said.
"Okay." Yang Yuhuan distributed the drumsticks to the other two people.
"Young Master is really a kind person." Grandma Jiang smiled so widely that she could not close her mouth.
"Hehe." Fang Daniu laughed foolishly.
The two of them did not dare to eat too much meat yesterday. They only picked up a few chopsticks and kept eating vegetables.
