Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

When all the people in the school had dispersed, the Hu family's warehouse also got a wrench.

The ancients had the habit of going to bed early, especially when businessmen were doing business abroad, they would stay before it was too late, and the cock crowed early to see the sky.The streets and markets in ancient times dispersed early, and by five o'clock in the afternoon in later generations, there was no one to be seen on the noisy pier.

In the tent, Hu Baihu sat there with Erlang legs crossed, holding a cup of tea in his hand, listening to Lao Li's nagging: "Master, let me tell you, my body is not good every day. This Su The young master of the family is good at mental arithmetic. After the observation of the little old man this morning, he is also a person who can write and calculate. I thought the master was sympathetic to me for your life, and sent a capable person to help. But now it’s all right, But Su Mu was begged by Mr. Shao."

Hu Baihu laughed: "You are only fifty this year, Accountant Li, and you are not a few years older than me. Why are you not in shape? When it comes to things, you should also have some restraint."

Lao Li immediately called out to Qu: "Master's words are correct. The little old man has only one old wife in his family, and he refuses to go out to find flowers and ask willows. How did he become a pervert?"

Hu Baihu laughed even louder: "Don't you like reading Fengyue story books? I heard people say that it's better than real swords. You see, I don't read such things, and I never mess around outside. , eat well and sleep soundly, your body will be very strong!"

Lao Li was even more embarrassed by the host's laughter, and muttered: "Master, you are afraid of your wife. If you hadn't been restrained by your wife, you would have been turned upside down."

Hu Baihu’s family has a wife defending, and was caught in the fire by Li’s tent, a little embarrassed, “Let’s not talk about this, Mr. Shao has to give me face, let Su Mu help you in the morning, and go to study in the afternoon. The matter is very powerful. I heard people say that as long as people read books, they will naturally understand human affairs and events, and they can know the world's affairs without going out. If Su Mu really learns some skills, he will be able to help his family in the future. Otherwise, if it is in vain Wouldn't I, old Hu, be at a disadvantage to support a good-for-nothing son-in-law?"

Li Zhangfang said with a smile: "Isn't the master suspecting that Su Mu is a fool, thinking that the Su family is fooling you, can a fool be able to study? You should send him back to me quickly!"

"How can a fool help you, or..." Hu Baihu was startled suddenly, unknowingly, he and Li Zhangfang had already regarded Su Mu as a normal person in the conversation.No, it is a person who can still be useful. How did this change come about?

Li Zhangfang also realized this, and said after a long time: "Master, based on my observations today, this Su Mu is not stupid. He won the first place, perhaps because the county magistrate looked at Mr. Shao's face, but Shao Shao It's unusual for Mr. to be so fond of this kid. Perhaps, he is really a character, I'm afraid you won't be familiar with this kid!"

Hu Baihu was stunned: "Let's take a look... If this kid is really a character, it would not be a loss to Ying'er to join our Hu family; but if he has other thoughts. Or if he is really a fool, just rush home .”

He sneered: "At that time, he will not be able to go back on his elder's orders and his matchmaker's words. My surname Hu is also an extravagant figure in Baoding. Speaking of which, I hope this kid has some skills. If it is too bad, Ying'er hasn't turned the world upside down, she must be satisfied after all."

Li Zhangfang nodded: "Master is right, we will wait for a few days to decide. It is not yet clear whether this Su Mu is a virtuous or a fool, and more importantly, whether he will be loyal to the master when he comes over in the future is the most important thing." The most important thing."

Hu Baihu nodded: "Old Li's words are a reminder to the Sa family, it's good that he is stupid, anyway, we don't like it. If the dementia is really cured, it is necessary to take care of the Hu family's property. Tomorrow morning, you can make arrangements and send him out to buy, it must be like this... If you really have two intentions..."

Hu Baihu's face showed evil spirits. He is a soldier, he runs his family like an army, and he never tolerates his subordinates.

Seeing the expression on his face, Tenant Li's heart trembled, and suddenly he had a strange thought: it is a great grievance for other people to marry their children into Hu's family, and you should be satisfied if Su Mu is not a fool, Mr. Hu.Now not only do you need people to be smart, but you also need them to be of good character, and they are loyal to you. There is no such cheap thing in the world.

However, this is just a few words of slander in my heart. Accountant Li's loyalty to Hu Baihu is still very high, but he dare not say some things directly.

Coming out of Hu's warehouse, Su Mu didn't go directly to Lin's bookstore but went home directly.

It's useless to go to Lin's Bookstore to discuss business now. Even if you talk too much, people won't believe you if you don't have a handy manuscript.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to figure out what kind of novel to write.

After returning home, Xiaodie asked Su Mu how it felt to be an accountant today. Su Mu had something on his mind, so he just replied that it was okay, it was only the first day, that is, to get familiar with the situation.

After dinner, I came to the study to grind a pool of ink, and calmed down to think.

What to write?

Pornographic novels, such as "The Story of a Girl" and "Girl's Heart" that are famous in later generations?

Su Mu did not miss these books. When he was studying in university, these books were the sexual enlightenment books for all the male students in the class, and they accompanied him through many days without hormones.

However, Su Mu quickly dismissed this idea. To be honest, the story of this kind of book is very different. It is only naturalistic description, focusing on sensory stimulation, and it is not interesting to read.

Each era has its own aesthetic taste, and the target users of Sumu are the citizens of the Ming Dynasty.This type of readers likes the stories about the short story of the parents and the legendary stories of men and women. To be honest, the taste of modern eighteen forbidden novels is too heavy, and it is not suitable for them at all.

Love is just a seasoning, and the story is the flesh and blood.Besides, in any era, best-selling books have always been based on stories, and the affairs of men and women are just one of the additions.

Forget it, instead of starting a new book and writing a new book, it's better to just copy a classic classic.

"Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Dream of Red Mansions"...

Soon, Su Mu dismissed this idea, these few books are certainly good, if they are really copied down, it will cause a sensation, earn a lot of money, and pass it on to future generations for sure.

The problem is that these four books have millions of words, and there are many poems and songs in them. Not to mention that I can't memorize them at all, and I can't even remember some of the stories clearly.

For example, when mentioning "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", up to now Su Mu only remembers a few episodes such as Taoyuan's three knots, the three heroes' battle with Lu Bu, and Wenjiu's killing of Huaxiong. As for other stories, he has completely forgotten them.Take the famous Chibi War as an example, he can only remember the general process, the specific details, what the characters in it said, and what they did, it is a complete mess.

If you want some more now, you have to revisit and arrange the story lines, and what you write will definitely be different from the real "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".In this way, what is the difference from writing a new book from scratch?

As for "Dream of Red Mansions", it is even more difficult. I can't remember the layout of the Grand View Garden, the relationship between the characters, the banquets and literary meetings of the princes, brothers, ladies and maids, and the couplets of poems, which are indispensable in the daily life of a noble family. Few recreational activities.Wouldn't it be a joke if I made it up indiscriminately and fell into the eyes of the Dafang family?

This is the consequence of crossing without preparation.

If you really want to copy, you can only copy "Three Words and Two Beats". Anyway, the book is full of short stories, so you don't need to memorize them all.Just copy a few stories at random and synthesize them into a collection.

However, short stories are not popular.A short story is only a few thousand words, and it can be passed at a glance. There is no inheritance, and there is no joke to catch people.

Pu Songling is amazing, his "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" is a masterpiece, but it didn't sell well back then, and Lao Pu was also so poor that he was covered in lice, so he didn't make a fortune from this book!

Su Mu only thought that his head was going to swell, and he recalled the "Pin Hualu" that Li Zhangfang had read before, and only then did he know that the best-selling novels on the market are short novels with 10,000+ words.

No matter what I do, I can only write this kind of thing.
