Zhao Xun, who returned to the Chengguo Palace, was like a fish seeing water, instantly regaining his expectations for life.
Well, how do you say that sentence?
Life is not just about the present, but also about poetry and distance.
Of course you have to be patient first and then go far away.
If you go far away first and then settle for nothing, then you are traveling on a budget.
This sentence couldn't be more appropriate for Zhao Xun.
Also feeling the passion for life is Zhao Danshu.
As soon as the little Loli saw Zhao Xun, she acted coquettishly: "I want Brother Xun to hug me!"
The milky sound is so milky...it's completely irresistible.
Zhao Xun knew that the little Loli was crazy alone and was very close to him, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he held the little guy in his arms and started telling her a story.
"Once upon a time there was an ugly duckling..."
"I've heard this story before, Brother Xun, why don't you change it to another one?"
Zhao Xun's heart melted when he heard this tender sound of milk.
Oh my god.
"Well, let's tell a story about Snow White and the dwarfs. A long time ago..."
Little Loli is obviously more concerned about Zhao Xun than the story.
Zhao Xun didn't talk for long before she fell asleep sweetly in her elder brother's arms.
Zhao Xun quickly handed the little Loli to the servants in the Duke's mansion, then got up and went to greet his parents.
Duke Chengguo Zhao Yuan was a loving father, and his words were full of concern after not seeing Zhao Xun for a long time.
Not to mention the Zhao Liu family.
How is my son doing in the Yamen? Is he eating well? Is he dressed warmly? Is he being bullied?
It can be said that he is caring and meticulous.
Zhao Xun answered them one by one without any boredom.
For him, today's life is like a fairy. Born into a rich and powerful family, he thought he would be trapped in the feudal etiquette system, but he did not expect to have such loving parents. It was a blessing he had cultivated in eight lifetimes.
Of course, now Zhao Xun has completely given up on the idea of just eating and waiting to die.
After joining the bad guys, he saw so many things that he could not see before. He deeply understood that he had to work hard to practice and climb up in order to protect himself and the people he values and cherishes.
Otherwise, you can only look at other people's faces and rely on others.
After chatting with the two elders for half an hour, Zhao Xun got up and left.
At this moment, he urgently needed time to rest and relax his tense nerves.
I have to say that investigating crimes is really not a job for humans. Zhao Xun got up earlier than a chicken and worked more than a donkey. Fortunately, the result was not bad, otherwise he would have been crying without tears.
Back in the room, Zhao Xun ordered his servants to boil water, and then took a comfortable bucket bath.
After washing and feeling refreshed, Zhao Xun changed into a brand new Sichuan brocade gown.
The price of this thing is several times more expensive than the top-grade Jiangnan silk.
The reason is simple. Things are rare and valuable.
Nowadays, Bashu does not recognize the Zhou Dynasty as its suzerainty, so naturally it does not pay tribute.
Under such circumstances, if you want to buy Shu brocade from Bashu, you will naturally have to spend a lot of money.
A premium is inevitable.
But the Chengguo government obviously does not need to consider these issues.
Zhao Xun naturally felt at ease after wearing it.
He smoked some incense and then sat down comfortably in front of his desk to write.
As a liberal arts student, soft-pen calligraphy is one of the elective courses. Zhao Xun has liked writing calligraphy since he was a child, so he practices it a lot on a daily basis.
Diligence can make up for clumsiness. Although Zhao Xun's regular script is not outstanding, it is at least neat and clean.
After laying out the fine Huzhou rice paper, Zhao Xun studied the ink and thought about what to write.
Although Wangcai had promised to submit the manuscript in three days, Zhao Xun actually had not thought about what kind of novel he wanted to write.
He has also analyzed before that people in this era believe in strange powers and chaotic gods, and there are indeed practitioners.
Therefore, fantasy novels should be relatively easy to become popular.
As for the theme of the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony, it is definitely not pleasing to the eye, and there are many things that need to be changed, so they should be eliminated.
Water Margin is a taboo that easily offends the imperial court. From Zhao Xun's limited contact with Emperor Xianlong, he can judge that the emperor's mind is as small as a needle's nose.
If such a person sees something that makes him feel disgusted, he will not hesitate to use his power to activate the Divine Beast of Harmony and kill the work immediately.
Rather than writing about loneliness, it is better to eliminate this possibility from the beginning.
It is possible to write about Red Mansions, but even Zhao Xun, who is a liberal arts student, cannot fully remember the details of the Dream of Red Mansions.
This is different from memorizing poems. After all, there are so many words in Dream of Red Mansions plus the continuation. How is it possible to remember every chapter clearly and clearly?
The most exciting part of Dream of Red Mansions is the writing. To put it bluntly, this novel is very good at writing. The same story would probably have a completely different taste if written by someone else.
Of course, Zhao Xun didn't think that his writing style would be better than that of Mr. Cao Xueqin, so this plan passed.
The rest...
Romance of the West Chamber? Plum in the Golden Lotus? Peach Blossom Fan?
NoNoNo, even though the folk customs of the Zhou Dynasty were open, Zhao Xun still believed that as soon as these works were written, they would be banned directly by the court on the grounds of being offensive to morals.
After thinking about it, it seems that I can only write a fantasy novel.
After determining the general direction, the next step is selection.
Zhao Xun was his professional counterpart in his previous life and had read many fantasy novels from the Tang Dynasty.
However, these novels are not very famous. Some of the stories may be very attractive, but after reading the whole novel, you can clearly feel that the quality of the stories is uneven.
If this is to be left to future generations, isn’t it just hydrology?
Zhao Xun shook his head, thinking secretly that it wouldn't work.
If this kind of collection of stories were written, readers would definitely be chasing after them and scolding the big water monster.
After much thought, it seems that Liaozhai is the most suitable place.
This collection of novels is absolutely online in terms of popularity, story integrity, and quality.
"Well, it's up to you."
Zhao Xun didn't want to waste any more time and decided to start immediately.
"Well, which one should I write first?"
Zhao Xun wrote Internet articles in his previous life and knew that there is a saying in the Internet literature industry called the Three Golden Chapters.
In fact, it is necessary to write an attractive story from the very beginning. Not to mention the writing style, the story must first be strong.
Only in this way will readers have the desire to continue reading.
Of course, online novels and fantasy novels are different.
Strange novels, such as Liaozhai, are essentially novel collections, consisting of stories one after another.
Each story is an independent chapter, so if you haven't read it, it won't affect your reading of other parts.
So the first one must be the highlight of the entire story collection.
It attracts readers as soon as it is published.
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and decided to write the first article about Nie Xiaoqian.
Influenced by film and television dramas, Zhao Xun has a soft spot for the IP of Nie Xiaoqian.
It can be said that Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, a pair of hard-luck lovers with different paths, have occupied people's hearts for quite some time, and their ability to attract money is absolutely strong.
It's hard not to think about it if you show off this pair of CPs.
