I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

You Dongli walked into the door of Fugui Restaurant and saw several friends waving to him.

"Brother You, here, here -"

"I'm just waiting for you, Brother You."

You Dongli hurriedly walked over and apologized that he was late and would punish himself with a drink after the meeting started.

Others were booing and saying that one cup was not too little, three cups was not too little, and five cups was not too much. Only if we could drink seven or eight cups could we prove the sincerity of the apology.

His good friend Li Chen did not join in the booing, but after he sat down, he jokingly said: "Brother You, you have been late time and time again recently. If I hadn't known that you were not married yet and had no hobby of keeping beautiful maids, We all thought you were hiding a beautiful girl at home."

You Dongli looked bitter.

He came out late several times before, and there was indeed a reason for this. Because his family is now looking for a marriage for him, and because he is not very cooperative, he will be called over and questioned carefully every time he goes out.

However, he didn't want to complain about this. He remembered what he had just encountered downstairs, so he changed the subject, "Did you all get the tickets for the hot spring villa built by Mr. Fu and the young master of the Liu family?"

Hot Spring Villa is a rare thing in Liuzhou City recently, especially this 'Hot Spring Villa' was built by Mr. Fu, a well-known man who is good at writing stories, and the 'Liu Dandy' young master of the Liu family, so the minds of several people watching the excitement were immediately attracted. transferred.

One person said: "I bought the hardcover version of "Imperial Examination and Cultivation of Immortality". Two days ago, Kaiyuan Bookstore sent a clerk to my house to give me a 'day ticket', saying that the ticket can be used to stay for one night."

Another person said: "I have never bought Mr. Fu's storybook, but my family has some friendship with the Liu family, and they also sent someone to deliver tickets."

Another person said: "Brother Zhang gave me one."

Li Chen also said: "My mother gave me one. She is a frequent visitor to the silk and satin shop owned by Mrs. Zhenbei Hou. By the way, that silk and satin shop has been sold to Mr. Fu's house. The female shopkeeper gave it to her and several people. Frequent visitors some tickets.”

You Dongli counted and found that everyone had tickets.

He also has tickets, and there are more than one, because the storybook "Green Tea Cousin" helped him get out of a bad marriage, so he will buy Mr. Fu's storybook whenever he is in Liuzhou.

So he said, "Then how about we go together?"

The other four people agreed.

On the opening day, Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao got up early.

Liu Changmiao was a little nervous and would ask questions from time to time.

"Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"Will anyone come?"

"Mr. Fu, what if no one comes?"

Fu Wenyu comforted him nicely at first, but then he replied with the same sentence, "No, we gave away so many free tickets, no one will come."

It was his idea to give away the tickets.

He will give some here and the Liu family will give some there.

So although the 'Hot Spring Villa', 'Haunted House', 'Slide', etc. are all novelties, he believes that with so many free tickets given away, it is impossible for everyone to be there today. And in order to attract customers, he rented all the carriages, mule carts, etc. in Liuzhou City in the first three days of the opening, and asked them to guard the city gate to pick up guests who wanted to come here.

Therefore, it is impossible to have no guests.

He is a little worried now. The 'haunted house' that does not require NPC seems to be too well decorated.

That 'haunted house' was specially built. It contained not only empty coffins, paper figures that fell from the roof, but also dolls that suddenly fell to the ground, and scary lanterns that glowed but were actually just coated with special powder. There are also people who hide in empty pillars, walls, and wooden cabinets and make sudden noises.

By the way, the 'luminous powder' used in the haunted house is still something similar to luminous stones used by Chen County scammers before. When Fu Wenyu was decorating the haunted house, he felt that the simple "weak candlelight" was not scary enough, so he sent people to Chen County to buy a batch of those stones.

But maybe it worked too well.

So when he and Liu Changmiao went in to try it out yesterday, as someone who had experienced many haunted houses, his heartbeat was just a little faster, but Liu Changmiao was so frightened that he ran out crawling on the ground, screaming and running rampant in the haunted house. Fu Wenyu's His clothes were almost torn by him.

Fu Wenyu even felt that if the guests who went in to experience it today were still frightened like this, then he would have to adjust the layout and reduce the scary atmosphere.

Or arrange a simple version for those guests who can’t help but be scared.

In addition, in order to ensure safety, not only older people were not allowed to enter, but he also specially invited a doctor from Liuzhou City who has research on heart disease, that is, heart disease, to come to the gate of the haunted house, and people who cannot withstand the fright. Will not be allowed in. After all, many people in ancient times would never see a doctor in their entire lives and had no idea whether they had heart problems.

It's safer to have a doctor here.

Of course, in addition to this doctor, there are two other doctors in the villa to ensure the safety of the guests, and one of them is a female doctor who specializes in treating women. They will stay at the Hot Spring Villa for half a month at a time, and then the medical center will switch to another doctor in the second half of the month, forming a rotation.

As for the haunted house with NPCs, it is not open for the time being because the NPCs have not been trained well and Fu Wenyu's "Mountain Village Fox Fairy" script has not been completely written.

Near noon, the guests came one after another.

Because some of them were known to Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao, such as Liu Juren and Xie Juren, who he invited, so after seeing Liu Juren's carriage, the two went to meet him.

As a result, three people got off the carriage.

In addition to Liu Juren and Xie Juren, who specially sent "monthly tickets", there was also Liuzhou Zhizhou Hu Buqi!

Although Fu Wenyu politely sent invitations and monthly tickets to several leaders in the government and this "Zhizhou Lord" who loved to visit incognito, he actually didn't think he would come.

He had only met this "Zhizhou Hu" twice, and the two were not familiar with each other.

The second time was after he passed the examination for a scholar, he went to the mansion of Zhizhou Hu for a banquet with several people from Liuzhou who also passed the examination. In addition to these new scholars, there were also important figures in the government, Xie Juren, Liu Juren, and other scholars in Liuzhou at the banquet. The main purpose was to recognize people.

As for the first time, it was a long time ago.

At that time, Fu Wenyu was writing his first story, "The True and False Young Master", and he met him and Liu Changmiao in a teahouse by chance.

Looking at the way Hu Zhizhou talked to Liu Juren now, and thinking back to the first time he met this "Hu Zhizhou", he saw him and Liu Changmiao talking in a teahouse, and then Liu Changmiao ran out.

So Fu Wenyu asked in a low voice: "Changmiao, what is the relationship between your family and Hu Zhizhou?"

Liu Changmiao's voice was also not loud, "Brother Hu and my brother were classmates in the Imperial College."

Fu Wenyu suddenly realized, no wonder they were so close.

At this time, Hu Zhizhou and the other two also came over.

Mr. Liu waved to Fu Wenyu and the other two, and then said to Hu Zhizhou: "Sir, this is Fu Wenyu. He was the first to discover the hot springs here, and then he asked Changmiao to cooperate."

Fu Wenyu bowed and saluted, "I meet Sir Hu."

Liu Changmiao also called out obediently: "Brother Hu."

Hu Zhizhou was only in his twenties, and said casually: "No need for courtesy, I just came here to take a look today."

Fu Wenyu didn't think much about what the other party said, so he took a few people to visit diligently. Hu Zhizhou seemed to be very interested in the operation of this hot spring villa, and asked a lot of questions on the way.

For example, how much did it cost to build these two hot spring villas and the "amusement park" on the other side? How much are the daily tickets, half-month tickets, monthly tickets, and annual tickets? For example, how deep is the hot spring pool, how to ensure that no guests will be drowned in it? Where do the people serving here come from, how much is the monthly salary, how many people are needed, etc.

Fu Wenyu answered according to the actual situation.

More than 4,000 taels were spent, and within the previously estimated range, the remaining several hundred taels were just enough to maintain the operation for about one and a half months. As for the tickets, only four types were issued. The previously envisioned "three-day ticket" and "seven-day ticket" were cancelled because they could be replaced by "day tickets" for the convenience of management.

As for the hot spring pool, it was only half a person's height, so people would not drown. Moreover, each hot spring pool had deep and shallow water areas, and was equipped with people who could swim, so the possibility of accidents was very small.

Some of the people serving were farm servants, some were bought servants, and some were people from Fujia Village. They were responsible for different jobs and had different monthly wages.

In addition to these, each area also had a special steward.

Above the steward, there was also a general steward.

Hu Zhizhou nodded as he listened, and then he didn't ask anything.

At this time, several people also walked out of the hot spring villa that was specially for receiving male guests. Hu Zhizhou also went to see the hot spring that was emitting hot air and had few people now.

Fu Wenyu had received a report from the steward halfway, saying that there were about a hundred people who had arrived. Except for more than 20 female guests, the rest were male guests.

And they were mostly young people, and they were concentrated in the "amusement park".

So Fu Wenyu took the opportunity to suggest whether to go over and take a look.

"Sir Hu, Mr. Xie, Mr. Liu, the amusement park is quite lively, with slides, swings, wooden horses, mazes, chess, haunted houses, etc. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"These are all suitable for playing during the day, and it's not too late to come back and soak in the hot springs at night."

Liu Changmiao also said: "Yes, let's go over and take a look. The slide is fun, and there are wooden horses and haunted houses." He paused here and added in a low voice, "The haunted house is also fun."

Fu Wenyu smiled secretly when he saw his erratic eyes.

Hu Zhizhou was really curious, so he said: "Then let's go over and see it."

Mr. Xie smiled and said: "Then I will take advantage of your glory."

Mr. Liu said: "Please, sir."

Although he had come to see it before, it was half a month ago. So he had tried the hot springs, but he had never experienced the things that Fu Wenyu talked about, and now he was really curious.

So the group walked to the amusement park next door.

As soon as they entered the door, the first thing they saw was the slide.

The slide was drawn by Fu Wenyu and then made by someone. There are a total of six slides in the amusement park, namely the giraffe, elephant and ordinary slides, and now there are people around each one.

"Come down quickly, you have played three times."

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

"Hahaha, this is really fun."

Liu Changmiao also likes to play on the slide. He said happily: "Brother Hu, Uncle Xie, Dad, this slide was thought up by Mr. Fu, it's so fun. Just like them, step on the wooden ladder to go up, and then slide down."

"Brother Hu, do you want to try it?"

Hu Zhizhou moved his hands, coughed twice and said: "Well, uh, this slide is not very elegant after all. Let's go and take a look elsewhere. What else is behind it?"

Liu Changmiao did not doubt that he was there and continued: "There is a swing behind."

So Fu Wenyu looked at the three people who maintained their identities and saw the swing group, the moving wooden horse, the maze, the treasure hunting sand area, and finally stopped at the blue brick table and bench where they could rest and play chess.

In addition to experiencing the maze, several people were not allowed to try some "uncivilized" activities even if Fu Wenyu and Liu Changmiao repeatedly invited them.

In the end, Fu Wenyu simply stopped proposing.

I don’t know if these people are here for sightseeing or fun.

At this moment, Hu Zhizhou, who was looking around, suddenly discovered a house behind a certain forest, and asked curiously: "Where is that? Why do I seem to hear a sound?"

Liu Changmiao followed his gaze and shuddered unconsciously.

"G-haunted house, that's a haunted house."

Hu Zhizhou was curious and stood up and said, "Then let's go over and have a look."

Fu Wenyu walked in front to lead the way and explained to a few people by the way, "Master Hu, Xie Juren, Liu Juren, there are no ghosts in the 'haunted house'. I just placed paper figures and empty coffins in it."

"And the paper man and the coffin are also new and have not been used, so please don't worry." After saying this, he also added, "Actually, I don't think this 'haunted house' is scary. As long as you are braver, you can completely It can be passed smoothly. I tried it myself yesterday and it came out quickly after following the path.”

Hu Zhizhou nodded with interest, "Then I would like to see it."

While talking, several people had already walked to the door.

Just as everyone was about to go in, several screams suddenly came from inside.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"There's a ghost!!!"

"Don't come over here. Don't come over here -"

"Help, help!!"

"Brother You, Brother Zhang, please help me -"

Fu Wenyu: "…………?"

Wait, what did he just say?

It seems like "there are no ghosts in the 'haunted house'" and "I don't think this 'haunted house' is scary. As long as you are braver, you can pass it smoothly and follow the path and you will come out quickly"?

This is a bit embarrassing...
