From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The square in front of the entire Moyunzhai was boiling, and countless book fans, after suppressing their emotions, gave a deafening shout.

Zhou Yuan's profound words resonated with them, and some of them even burst into tears on the spot and cried bitterly.

Such a huge momentum made Shen Qiaoshan panic, as he had never encountered such a scene before.

The man in front of him was so inflammatory!

Shen Qiaoshan said angrily: "You are misleading people with your words! How can you, a scholar, define the literary world of Dajin for hundreds of years!"

Zhou Yuan strode towards the crowd and saw a young man in an old gown, so he pulled him out.

The people around him fell silent, and they didn't know what Zhou Yuan was going to do.

Zhou Yuan said: "What's your name? How old are you this year?"

The young man was handsome, but not tall and timid.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's encouraging eyes, he didn't know where he got the courage from, and shouted: "My name is Wu Nian, I'm fifteen years old."

Zhou Yuan said: "Tell everyone in front of everyone why you like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and what do you think this book means to you."

"Speak boldly, you must tell the truth!"

Wu Nian's face flushed, clenched his fists, and kept adjusting his breathing.

He finally shouted: "Me! My name is Wu Nian! I'm fifteen years old! I'm from Tonglu County."

"I like the wonderful stories of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I like those smart counselors, I like Guo Fengxiao, I like Xu Yuanzhi, and I also like Chen Gongtai."

"I also like Liu Xuande and Guan Yu, they are all great heroes!"

Simple reasons, but they are often very touching.

Wu Nian continued, "My father is a teacher, my mother is a farmer, and our family is very poor. I have never liked reading. My father forced me to learn to read."

"But after reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I like reading, because I want to be a great strategist, like Xu Yuanzhi, who assisted Liu Bei and served the court."

"I admire Master Yuan Yi, so I secretly came to see him today, but my family is too poor. I don't have clothes for scholars, so I wear my father's clothes, which are a bit old and too big to fit."

At this point, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, looked at Zhou Yuan, and said, "Master Yuan Yi, if I study, can I become a strategist like Xu Yuanzhi?"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Where there is a will, there is a way. Break your cauldrons and burn your boats, and the 120 Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu."

"As long as you are firm in your ideals and work hard, you will definitely become the person you want to be!"

Wu Nian was overjoyed and said, "My mother said the same thing! She doesn't want me to help her with work! Let me study!"

At this point , he lowered his head again and said: "It's a pity that my family has no money and can't afford to buy books. I can only copy books from the family of the rich man in the county town. Dad said that it was too late for me to start studying at the age of fifteen. If I continue to copy books like this, I'm afraid I won't learn real skills until I'm thirty."

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes stood up and said loudly: "Child! Don't be afraid! You want to study, right? Come to my house! There are plenty of books at home!"

He strode to Wu Nian, his eyes were red, and he choked up and said: "I liked reading very much when I was a child, But my family was poor and couldn't even afford food."

"When I grew up, I went from reselling medicinal herbs to opening a kiln to make porcelain. Now I am rich, but I still can't help the young me."

"I recently read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and suddenly remembered that I was also a boy who liked reading!"

"Your name is Wu Nian, right? I will go to your house with you in the afternoon. I will tell your parents to let you study without worry. I will provide books and money."

The surroundings suddenly cheered like a tsunami.

And Wu Nian had already covered his face and cried.

Zhou Yuan looked at Shen Qiaoshan and said lightly: "See, Mr. Qiaoshan, this is the power of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"It can make people like reading, this is the real respect for the literary world!"

Shen Qiaoshan's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he could hardly stand steadily.

Zhou Yuan said: "Literature should not be high and mighty, but should be close to the people. Knowledge should not only be the words of saints, but also historical stories and vivid characters."

"You put the door on the literary world, and you put knowledge aside. You are the one who hinders the development of the literary world."

"There is often an idiom to describe such people - seeking fame and reputation."

The calm words, like a sharp knife, pierced Shen Qiaoshan's heart.

The old man, who was as pale as paper, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.

"Mr. Qiaoshan!"

"Not good! Save him!"

The literati around hurried forward to support him, and in the midst of the noise, they picked up Shen Qiaoshan and rushed to the clinic.

Until they were far away, tens of thousands of people present issued a deafening roar.Shout.

"Master Yuan Yi!"

"Master Yuan Yi!"

Their admiration was beyond measure and extremely enthusiastic.

They already liked "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and admired the author, but because it was a popular novel, they read it but did not dare to take it as literature.

But Zhou Yuan's words today and two cases completely reversed the speech and let everyone know the value of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It turns out that reading this book is not unrefined!

On the contrary, it is not only elegant, but also very meaningful.

This feeling of recognition made them burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Zhou Yuan was almost crazy busy, dealing with book fans all day, and finally sent away the fanatical book fans until dusk.

Mo Yunzhai became famous in one battle, and there was no rival in the Liangjiang area!

And Zhou Yuan will quickly become a celebrity in Lin'an Prefecture and even the entire Jiangnan area. On the one hand, there are flowers and brocade, and on the other hand, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

"Please, stop looking, okay? Pour me a cup of tea! I'm so thirsty!"

Looking at Qu Ling's bright eyes, Zhou Yuan sat down on the armchair, almost paralyzed by exhaustion.

"Here it comes, the tea is here."

Mo Xiang handed the tea to Zhou Yuan, her face full of admiration.

She thought that Master Zhou was already amazing for killing people with a sword, and that he was a mighty general and a chivalrous knight, but she didn't expect that he was so talented and could reverse public opinion and win on his own.

How could there be such a perfect master in the world!

It was a blessing to be able to serve Master Zhou.

Mo Xiang had a faint smile on her face, her eyes were fixed on him, and Master Zhou was very handsome.

"You bastard, you're almost drooling."

Qu Ling's sudden voice made Mo Xiang gasp and blush, and she said anxiously: "No way! Miss... don't tease me."

Qu Ling smiled and said: "Look at your lustful look, I almost came close to you."

"Oh Miss! How can you talk like that? It's so embarrassing."

Mo Xiang ran away with a red face.

Zhou Yuan drank a cup of tea and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Mo Xiang and said: "She is only sixteen years old, you are teasing a child."

"Oh, are you heartbroken?"

Qu Ling rolled her eyes and smiled with her head tilted: "If Mr. Zhou likes it, just tell me. I'm afraid Mo Xiang will be so happy. I am willing to help her and let her serve you for the rest of her life."

Fortunately, Zi Yuan was not here, otherwise she would have been furious.

Zhou Yuan stretched and said, "Sure, let's go with the master. It would be a blessing if the young lady and the maids serve me together."

"You wish!"

Qu Ling smiled even more, gently pinched her chin, and said, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Qu family. If you want to marry me, you must have talent, family background, and ability."

She leaned over and stared at Zhou Yuan, giggling, "Mr. Zhou, you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family! If you want me and Mo Xiang to serve you together, I'm afraid you won't have the chance!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the face.

Qu Ling was slightly stunned, and immediately took a few steps back, frightened and exclaimed, "You! Zhou Yuan! You!"

Zhou Yuan looked at her, didn't say anything, just smiled.

Qu Ling was so angry that she shouted, "Too much! Lecher! I won't forgive you!"

Her face was already red, she was ashamed, angry and shocked, she turned around and ran away.

She ran all the way out of the house before she stopped.

The sunset was full of sunset clouds, the setting sun was blood-red, and the refreshing evening breeze blew, lifting her long hair.

Qu Ling's heart was beating very fast, her whole body was weak, and when she thought of the scene just now, she felt a little happy inexplicably.

After being in a daze for more than ten breaths, she said to herself, "This bad guy."
