I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Even though the audience was whispering, the plot on stage remained unchanged.

Zhenniang's family learned the whole truth.

As for why the 'niece from her mother's family' who originally stood on the side of the Bu family would say this, she snorted coldly: "My aunt and cousin are so calculating. They took me over specially, not only fulfilling my cousin's reputation as a fool, but also deceiving you to be more devoted."

"But it caused me to become someone else's concubine!"

It turned out that the 'niece from her mother's family's obsession with her cousin Bu Shiren and rushing to be a concubine had already spread. So after she returned home, no decent family came to propose marriage, so her parents finally married her to an old man as a concubine. She was resentful and brought people to guard outside the Bu family today, and told everything she overheard when she was at the Bu family.

After she finished her story, she taunted them a few more times, saying, "If you still have a bit of backbone, let the Bu family get what they deserve, otherwise you'd better hang yourself with a hemp rope as soon as possible." Then she left.

Leaving Zhenniang's family in grief.

"How could there be such a person?"

"How could there be such a vicious person in this world——"

Zhenniang's mother cried and screamed.

Zhenniang's father burst into tears and kept muttering, "Blame me, it's all my fault that I chose such a beast in human form, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."

The heroine Zhenniang knelt on the ground in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. It seems that this blow was too great and had shattered her mind. From now on, she will be like those who can't stand too much stimulation, crazy.

Just when her parents wanted to comfort her, they saw her suddenly stand up.

Then she pulled out the wooden hairpin carved by Bu Shiren himself, which she had kept well and never left even when she was digging wild vegetables, and broke it fiercely.

"Bu Shiren and I are like this hairpin!"

Then Zhenniang, with her hair disheveled, held up the half-broken hairpin and sang angrily.

"She bullied me and humiliated me, he bullied me and humiliated me;"

"She was vicious and cruel, he was false and hypocritical."

"She harbored evil intentions, he helped the tyrant to do evil;"

"She will not die well, he will not die well!"

"He will not die well--!!"

The curtain was quickly lowered, and Zhenniang's bright eyes stayed in everyone's heart for a long time.

Then there were the sounds of suona, gongs and drums, and the noisy voices of guests. When the curtain was pulled up again, the stage had been decorated as a wedding hall again.

Bu Shiren, who had returned to the capital, was wearing a red robe, a top scholar hat on his head, and a big red flower made of red silk tied on his chest. At this time, he was in high spirits and smiling.

In the sight of everyone, he held one end of the red silk and knelt down to kowtow with the woman who was supported by two maids and covered with a red veil on the other end.

"One bow to heaven and earth."

"Two bows..."

"Wait!"

A loud female voice came out, and Zhenniang, who had tied her hair up again, wore a red dress and painted red lips, came out with her parents and a group of people, and said in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"My name is Zhenniang, and I am Bu Shiren's divorced wife."

"Bu's mother is vicious, Bu Shiren is ungrateful, and the Bu family is not a good place to go."

"Please think twice."

Everyone was in an uproar.

Then there were the Bu family's rebuttal, Zhenniang's evidence, the Bu family's slander, Zhenniang's self-proof, and so on.

Finally, after Zhenniang invited the doctor who had prescribed medicine for Zhenniang, the truth came out. It turned out that Bu's mother had mixed some medicine that would cause infertility in women into Zhenniang's medicine. Although the doctor found out, he did not dare to speak out because it was someone else's family affair and he was afraid that Bu's mother would bite back.

Because he was afraid of being implicated after the incident, he also dried the prescription he wrote at the time and the medicine that Bu's mother secretly put in and kept them, and now he just took them out as evidence.

No matter what the Bu family said, no one was willing to believe it.

The master of Bu Shiren, who was also the father of today's bride, had a livid face and pointed at Bu Shiren and said, "Shameless, there is such a shameless person!"

"I will go to the palace to see the emperor and revoke your reputation!"

Then an imperial edict was issued, Bu Shiren was stripped of all his reputation, and the imperial edict also ordered the Bu family to return Zhenniang's dowry and all the property given by Zhenniang's family over the years. Whether it was the marriage between Zhenniang and Bu Shiren or the marriage between Bu Shiren and the daughter of the master, they were naturally abandoned.

The three people of the Bu family lost everything in an instant.

In the end, Bu Xiaomei was divorced and sent home, and the devastated Bu Shiren went crazy. Not only did he accidentally kill his nagging mother after getting drunk one day, but he also drowned in a stinking ditch. His body was eaten by wild dogs and he died without a burial place.

Zhenniang, who succeeded in revenge, was adopted as a daughter by the grateful master. She returned home with her parents and her dowry. This time she did not marry again, but married a hardworking and honest husband.

In the end, she had both sons and daughters and lived a peaceful life.

Of course, the drama could not be performed in such detail, and it was impossible to bring a dog up to bite Bu Shiren, so in the end Bu Shiren was deprived of everything and stood on the stage singing "Regret it".

At this time, the curtain slowly fell.

"The Story of Zhenniang" was over.

Suddenly, there was an uncontrollable cry from the front of the stage.

When Liu Changmiao heard the voice, his face suddenly changed. "Oh no, it's my eldest sister's voice. No, I have to go and check it out. Mr. Fu will be handed over to you next."

Seeing that the commotion outside was getting louder and louder, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion had already nervously asked them to go elsewhere, so Fu Wenyu did as he was good and took the people from the Changxi Class to avoid hearing anything they shouldn't hear.

At this time, Liu Changlian was already crying bitterly in Mrs. Liu's arms.

"...Same."

"Same!"

"My mother-in-law told me the same thing at the beginning. Husband, no, Lei Mingbai is also cooperating with Xini in this way. They said that the Lei family has no children, and they said that they would send the concubine to the countryside when the child is born."

"Are they lying to me?"

"Are they trying to deceive me like they deceived Zhenniang, but they actually have other plans?!"

“Mother, mother, my heart hurts so much, my heart hurts so much——”

Mrs. Liu's eyes were already red when she saw Zhenniang being bullied on the stage. Now that she saw her daughter crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, she felt even more heartbroken.

"My poor Lian'er..."

"You come home, I will tell your father to come home."

"Why?!" Mrs. Liu, who had already understood, stomped her crutches. "Lian'er was bullied by the Lei family. Is it over after she is brought back? Why don't you call Dalang and Changyan Changmiao soon?"

"We can't just let this matter go!"

It took two days for Fu Wenyu to find out what was going on with the Liu family.

Liu Changmiao specially brought him a thank you gift and said happily: "Mr. Fu, good news, hahaha, good news. My sister finally understands and is no longer deceived by Lei Mingbai."

"It turns out that Lei Mingbai, like Bu Shiren, is always good at being a good person."

"I'm bah bah!"

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Fu Wenyu was also very happy, "That's really great."

I just don’t know if the awakened eldest sister Liu Changmiao will choose to get together and separate, but it’s hard to ask this question if they are not relatives.

But Liu Changmiao quickly said, "It's a pity that my eldest sister doesn't want to get married."

"She said that after the separation, her daughter, my poor niece, will not be able to find a good family in the future, and it will also affect the marriage of my little sister and the next generation."

"And now that she is separated, wouldn't it be a good time for the Lei family to straighten the concubine?"

"So she won't be separated."

Fu Wenyu sighed, but this is understandable, because ancient society had such deep constraints on women. Regardless of whether it is divorce or divorce, the woman is the one who suffers, and it is impossible not to be affected. As for Sister Liu Changmiao's willingness to go back, it can be seen that his brother-in-law did not commit a principled issue like Bu Shiren.

Being lustful and lustful is not an unforgivable mistake for ancient men.

But Fu Wenyu asked again: "Your family won't just let it go, right?"

"How could you forget it?!"

Liu Changmiao snorted, "In the past, we were afraid of hurting the jade bottle, so we couldn't kill Lei Mingbai. But now that my sister wants to let go, what else can't we do?" "Yesterday, our family sang again I watched "Zhen Niang Biography" once, but this time it was my father, my brother, and I who watched it together with Lei Mingbai. My brother smiled and asked him, "What do you think of today's drama?" I plan to write a letter of recommendation after spring next year and ask you to attend the Imperial Academy.'"

"'But now, haha.'"

"You don't know, he turned pale at the time."

"Hahahahaha..."

Liu Changmiao relieved his anger and said: "He is also a monkey spirit. After seeing what happened to Bu Shiren, he offered to go home first. He also said that after the concubine gave birth to a child, he would marry her off and the child would be adopted by someone in the clan. The son’s family raised him. My brother originally planned to let him know how powerful our Liu family is if he pretends to be stupid.”

"Humph, it really gave him an advantage."

Then Liu Changmiao added: "My grandmother and my mother have decided to let the four selected old ladies go back with my sister when Lei Mingbai finishes taking care of the mess at his house and comes to pick up my sister. "

"I will also send people to visit her from time to time. In this way, her life should be stable."

"Hey, men are not good."

Fu Wenyu: "...???"

Boy, is there something wrong with what you said?

Don't you check your gender before you speak?

Sensing Fu Wenyu's gaze, Liu Changmiao suddenly slapped his head, "Yes, we are both men." He was so angry just now that he forgot that he was also a man.

Fu Wenyu: "..." I kind of want to see off the guests.

Fortunately, before Fu Wenyu served tea to see off the guests, Liu Changmiao presented the gift he had brought, "Mr. Fu, my eldest sister is very grateful to you for rehearsing the play, and she also said that she would buy it when the script comes out."

"She gave this to Ling Ci and your sister."

"This is a gift from my mother."

"This is a gift from my sister-in-law."

"My father and my brother gave this to you."

Fu Wenyu opened it and saw that the gifts from Mrs. Liu, Sister Liu Changmiao, and Grandma Liu were all silver jewelry. They were exquisite but not expensive, and they could be accepted by his family, so he accepted them for his mother and sister.

Liu Juren and Liu Changyan gave them several undergraduate examination books with their annotations, as well as famous invitations. If he has any questions in the future and wants to ask for advice, he can come to the door with the name card.

Fu Wenyu was moved and thanked him again.

Then he asked curiously: "Does everyone in your family know that you asked me to write the storybook?" Otherwise, they wouldn't have specially sent a gift. If they had, it would have been for the Changxi Class.

Liu Changmiao touched his head and said, "Yes, my brother discovered it."

He didn't say that he was scolded by his brother, or that because of this drama, his father and his brother were both forced to sleep in the study these days. But the five hundred taels of private money did come back, which was a pleasant surprise.

Then the two of them talked for a few more words, and then Liu Changmiao said goodbye and went back.

Fu Wenyu personally sent him to the village entrance.

The Fu family today is very different from when Tang Yuanwai came to visit. Not only has it built a new house that is one of the best in the village, but its life has also become much more affluent. So unlike the last time when they couldn't give Tang Yuanwai a return gift, Zhou also prepared gifts for the Liu family this time.

Mainly for the women and children.

The women uniformly have a set of velvet flowers, including hairpins, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc., with different colors such as peony, crabapple, peach blossom, etc. The little girls have beautiful velvet flower crowns, and the boys have the peripherals in the previous "Rebirth of the Treasure Map", a set of three small wooden swords, and also very good pens and ink.

In addition, there are some special products from the mountains, which Zhou bought from the villagers.

This is not considered rude.

After sending Liu Changmiao away, Fu Wenyu turned and walked towards home.

But before he got home, he was stopped by someone.

"Wenyu, Wenyu, wait a minute!"

Fu Wenyu looked back and found that it was Fu Qingtong, whom he had not seen for a long time, and his second uncle Fu Qingshi. The two were walking towards him, and Fu Qingshi's face was still excited.

"Second uncle, Uncle Qingtong."

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Big things, big things!" Fu Qingshi said without hesitation: "Wenyu, are you planning to set up a troupe and select people in the village?"

So it was this matter.

Fu Wenyu suddenly realized.

He did have such a plan before, but it was not a troupe, but a theater. Because the actors in the troupe, such as Ru Niang who played Zhen Niang, and the man who played Bu Shiren, are all virgins, the kind who have been practicing since childhood. Especially for singing opera, people without certain skills cannot sing well.

But the troupe is different. As long as you can act, or your personality is similar to the character's personality, you can perform on stage after a little training and memorizing the lines.

So compared with singing opera, drama is much simpler.

And there is another very important reason. The members of the troupe have a special household registration, called "music registration", which belongs to a kind of "lowly registration" and cannot participate in the imperial examination. And the martial arts team and the troupe, which usually do farm work at home and occasionally go to earn money, are still good citizens and do not affect their children's studies.

Therefore, when he thought of this idea at Changxi Troupe, he pulled Fu Wenshu and Fu Wenhe over to learn a little, so that they know what the troupe is.

It is estimated that the news has spread now.

So Fu Wenyu did not deny it, "That's true."

He thought for a while and said, "I have a friend who wrote a few articles of "Collection of Scams", which was published in the Liuzhou tabloid by Mr. Gong Yang. The articles he wrote were, uh, quite interesting, so I bought them from him."

"Wenshu and the others have nothing to do recently, and they only need to go to the teahouse and the theater every few days, so I thought of finding something for them to do."

Fu Qingshi slapped his thigh, "Wenyu, how could you forget your second uncle for such a good thing?"

"Everyone knows that Wenshu and the others have made a lot of money following you. Not only have they married wives and built new houses, but they also stew meat every few days. You can't, you can't be so partial to one and neglect the other."

It's partiality.

Fu Wenyu complained in his heart.

But he didn't plan to select all the candidates from the martial arts team. After all, the age was not suitable. There are so many scams in the "Collection of Scams", and the people needed are all kinds of people, regardless of gender, age, or even beggars.

So he asked, "What do you and Uncle Qingtong mean?"

Fu Qingshi said without hesitation, "Count me in! I'm your real uncle."

Fu Qingtong said, "Wenyu, I just heard you say that you're going to perform a play called "Collection of Scams"? It's written from the last time your uncle and his friends were deceived, right?"

"That requires a lot of people."

"Uncle Qingtong doesn't have any other skills, but he's not afraid of hardship, so you can use him as you like."

This was very appropriate, and after listening to it, Fu Wenyu said, "Okay, then when we officially rehearse, you can try out the play. If there's a suitable role, then you can."

After saying goodbye to the happy two, Fu Wenyu continued to walk home.

Afterwards, several more people came to ask him for roles, and he gave them all the same answer, that is, to try out the play. If it's suitable, then you can. As for whether it's suitable or not, we'll talk about it later.

So when he got home, the news spread in the village, but to Fu Wenyu's surprise, it wasn't the "trying out" that the villagers didn't understand very well, but the "role has been decided".

At home, Zhou and Fu Rong were waiting for him to eat.

A few months later, Zhou and Fu Rong had changed again.

Zhou had lost her cowardice and gradually became decisive, and Fu Rong had so many sisters to talk to her every day and study the making of velvet flowers, so her temperament became much more cheerful.

The flower crowns given to the little girls of the Liu family today were made by her and several other sisters. As for the velvet flower earrings and velvet flower bracelets, they were the ideas of Fu Xinhe, the youngest daughter of Aunt Six.

For this, they were rewarded with ten taels of silver each.

After sitting down, Fu Wenyu took a few bites of rice and asked, "Mom, are you busy recently?"

"I heard that Li Xin has taken on several big orders in Beijing, so you are very busy. If you are not free, I will cook in the future, or hire someone?"

Li Xin has not returned since she went to Beijing last time.

Not only did she not return, she also opened a silk shop there, and the business is pretty good. As for her taking on several big orders, I heard Zhou said it a while ago, because she plans to recruit more people, and recently she is investigating which company has suitable candidates. This time she plans to find them herself and does not intend to trouble the clan leader and his wife.

So today, Fu Wenyu happened to be free, so he asked about the situation and saw if he needed help.

Zhou refused, "Just study with peace of mind."

"There are only three people in our family, so why bother so much? We can wait until there are more people in the future. Besides, cooking is the only thing that needs my attention at home now. Rong'er and Chunhua do other things like sweeping the floor and herding sheep every day."

Fu Rong also nodded, "Yes, herding sheep is fun."

Fu Wenyu thought about it and realized that it was the same reason, so he stopped talking and said that he would wait until there were more things to do in the future.

However, a few days later, an accident happened.

Waves of people came to the door.

One said, "Wenyu and Wenyu's mother, this is the melon grown by our family, you can try it. If you like it, I will bring you a few more tomorrow."

The other said, "This is the tofu made by my mother's family. It is not made of soybeans but black beans. Have you seen it? I tell you it is delicious. Soybeans can't make it taste this good. I will add a dish for your lunch."

Another said, "You are busy at home, so you may not have time to clean the house? Let me do it, let me do it, don't be polite to your aunt, I like sweeping the floor the most."

Some said nothing after entering the door, walked directly to their yard, and then lifted the water from the well to fill the water tank, and then smiled at Fu Wenyu.

Or they brought pheasant eggs and mushrooms picked up from the mountains into the door, put them down and left.

Such heavy things made Fu Wenyu confused.

Fortunately, not everyone has eighteen minds, and they want to establish a good relationship before speaking. Some people answered directly when Fu Wenyu asked, and it turned out that they wanted a place in the troupe.

"Wenyu, didn't you say you wanted to find someone to rehearse the play?"

"My kid is good!"

"He has been playing with you since he was a child. When you were in the martial arts team before, he was too short to be selected. This time, you can't leave him behind again. I still hope that he will make some money this year to marry a wife."

As soon as this was said, others also spoke up.

"My Dalang..."

"My..."

"Wenyu, what do you think of me?"

"Wenyu, don't forget me. When your father and I were studying in the village school, we sat at the same table. When you were one month old, I held you in my arms..."

"Wenyu, and me, and me..."

Frightened, Fu Wenyu hurriedly called for a stop, "Stop, stop, stop, there's no rush. You can go back and practice first. When the audition comes, we'll see who can act more like the role, and then choose who."

"What do you mean you still need an audition?"

"Didn't Qingshi say he and Qingtong were chosen?"

"Yes, yes."

"But Qingshi is Wenyu's second uncle, so it's no wonder. But Wenyu, my great aunt's cousin's sister-in-law is married to someone from your family. We're all relatives."

"Yes, we're all relatives."

Fu Wenyu wiped his sweat and asked carefully before realizing that it was Fu Qingshi and Fu Qingtong, as well as the others who came to ask him that day, who didn't understand the meaning of "audition" and thought they were all settled. So after returning home, he happily told his family, who then told relatives and friends, and then the news spread.

So Fu Wenyu had to explain, "Only those who act the most like the characters can do it."

"Let's do this. Some of you should have read "Collection of Tricks", so you can find a few people and choose one to act out for everyone to see, and then the villagers will choose."

"The group that acts the most like the characters will be chosen."

As soon as he said this, those who were not related to Fu Wenyu cheered, "This is good, let's do it!"

The others thought about it. "Collection of Tricks" has several chapters. According to Wenyu's method, everyone can try it, and the chances are greater, so they agreed.

As for those who thought they were stable, they were only a minority after all. Seeing that Fu Wenyu did not change his mind, they had to agree.

The entire Fujia Village suddenly came to life.
