Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 209 Next

"Oh! I didn't pass the exam." Zhang Qingfeng shook his head and sighed in disappointment.

"It's okay, just study hard and take the exam next time." Father Yang comforted his son despite his disappointment.

Taking the imperial examination involves thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It is not that easy. Father Yang was mentally prepared for this.

There are thousands of students in the examination room this time, and it is very good that fifty of them can be admitted to Juren.

Among these people, many of them will only be mediocre in this life, and most of them will eventually give up the imperial examination when they get older.

Because as time goes by, they will find that it is impossible for them to pass the entrance examination and become an official in this life. Instead of wasting time on the imperial examination, it is better to live a normal life.

After the government examination was over, Zhang Qingfeng returned to Lin'an City after staying at home for two days.

On this day, Mr. Zhao called several disciples together to give Zhang Qingfeng a clean-up.

"Sanlang, how did you do in the exam?" Mr. Zhao asked Zhang Qingfeng at the banquet.

"No hope." Zhang Qingfeng shook his head.

"Master, how is the situation here now?" Zhang Qing changed the subject and asked Mr. Zhao.

"Just look at the people who copied the manuscripts at home and you will know that you have succeeded, and no one will doubt that you are not the author of the Romance of the Gods anymore." Mr. Zhao said, pointing to the densely packed copyists in the yard.

At this time, in Mr. Zhao's yard, there were at least hundreds of people writing furiously. These people were all here to copy the manuscript of Fengshenyan.

Among these people are the commentators and the copyists hired by the commentators.

In addition, some people who are not storytellers come here to transcribe Fengshenyanyi novels.

"Junior Brother, you don't know that in the entire Lin'an City, almost all the storytelling books in Goulan are your Fengshen Yanyi."

Third senior brother Hou Ming said to Zhang Qingfeng in the morning: "Moreover, it's not just storytelling. Since the Liu family opera troupe adapted your Fengshen Romance into an opera, many other Goulan operas are also adapting operas."

The second senior brother on the side also said: "Now in all the Goulan, the most audiences are Fengshenyanyi storytelling and opera adapted from Fengshenyanyi. Junior brother, you are too good."

"Yeah, it's thanks to my junior brother that we can earn so much money. Come on, junior brother, I'll toast you." Senior brother Tian Zhi also said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Sanlang, what are you going to do next? Do you want to go back to Goulan Pingshu?" Mr. Zhao asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"No, I will continue to write a novel and then adapt it into an opera. I am going to change my career to become an opera artist." Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone.

"Being an opera artist?" Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, everyone was a little surprised.

"Brother, don't you comment on books?" Third senior brother Hou Mingzao asked.

"Storytelling is boring, writing novels is more interesting. Don't worry, all the novels I write in the future will let you tell stories." Zhang Qingfeng knew what they were worried about, so he promised.

Hearing what Zhang Qingfeng said, Mr. Zhao originally wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Although he and Yang Sanlang have a master-student relationship on the surface, they haven't even performed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

The reason why he accepted Zhang Qingfeng was mainly because he fell in love with Zhang Qingfeng's story.

The reason why Zhang Qingfeng worshiped Mr. Zhao as his teacher was mainly because of Mr. Zhao's connections.

The two can be said to be in a relationship of mutual use, and both of them are well aware of this.

Old Mr. Zhao knows, even without him.It is also easy for Yang Sanlang to get ahead in Goulan, but he needs to rely on Yang Sanlang's story to make so much money in Goulan.

Now that Yang Sanlang said that they will let them review the novels after that, what else do they have to say.

As for people wanting to change careers to learn opera, that is their freedom, but as long as there is a teacher and apprentice here, Yang Sanlang should not treat them badly in the future.

In the following time, Zhang Qingfeng really started to stay at Mr. Zhao's house and write stories.

Originally, Zhang Qingfeng was planning to rent a house by himself elsewhere, but considering that it was not convenient to stay at the home of his master, Mr. Zhao, he gave up.

In Mr. Zhao's house, if he needs anything, he only needs to give an order, and someone will prepare everything for him.

He doesn't have to cook by himself every day. His wife's cooking skills are good, which makes it easy for him to have food and accommodation.

The second story written by Zhang Qingfeng is not the Four Great Classics, but the urban romance novel of the Song Dynasty - "The Legend of the White Snake".

The background of The Legend of White Snake is the Southern Song Dynasty. Isn't it a modern romance novel, and it is also a romance novel with a mythical flavor.

The story of The Legend of the White Snake was not actually created by a single person, but a story collectively created by folk artists who spent hundreds of years.

Among them, there are materials such as "Warning the World", "The Legend of Leifeng Pagoda", "The Legend of Yi Yao" and so on.

The reason why The Legend of the White Snake is famous is that it was presented during Qianlong's southern tour and was sought after by Qianlong.

After the mid-Qing Dynasty, "Legend of the White Snake" has basically become a must-play drama.

The reason why Zhang Qingfeng wrote this book, rather than Journey to the West, was mainly because he considered that The Legend of White Snake might be more popular.

Zhang Qingfeng does not dare to write any of the four masterpieces now.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, at Zhang Qingfeng's fifteen or sixteen years old, was a bit of a suicide attempt. Maybe he could write it when he was older.

Journey to the West is because of the dispute between Buddhist and Taoist sects. He doesn't want to be involved in the battle between the two religions, otherwise he will definitely be in trouble.

Water Margin is a book about the rebellion in the Song Dynasty, can this be written?
A Dream of Red Mansions is an urban novel of the Qing Dynasty. The cities of the Qing Dynasty are definitely different from those of the Song Dynasty.

Only The Legend of White Snake is an urban novel of the Song Dynasty. As long as the content and details are slightly changed, Zhang Qingfeng can present it perfectly.

Zhang Qingfeng is preparing to transform The Legend of White Snake into a drama.

Note, it's a drama, not an opera.

In the Song Dynasty, most of them were operas, or miscellaneous dramas, and complete dramas had not yet been formed.

Zhang Qingfeng plans to introduce the complete drama of later generations to the Song Dynasty, so that the bumpkins of the Song Dynasty can experience the charm of drama.

"Sanlang, how is the government examination going?"

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng came to Liu's house early in the morning.

"I didn't pass the exam." Zhang Qingfeng shook his head and said.

The list was released a few days ago, but Zhang Qingfeng did not find the name Yang Xin on the list.

Yang Xin is Yang Sanlang's real name.

Zhang Qingfeng had already been mentally prepared for failing to pass the exam, so he was not disappointed.

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely win next time." The eldest lady comforted Zhang Qingfeng.

"Thank you Aunt Liu, I will." Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said.

"Sanlang, are you here for something?" The eldest lady asked Zhang Qingfeng.

Zhang Qingfeng had already learned the Huqin in just half a month, and the eldest lady had nothing to teach him. She didn't know why Zhang Qingfeng came to her so early today.

"Aunt Liu, I want to learn opera performance, can you teach me." Zhang Qingfeng said to the eldest lady.

"You want to learn opera, yes, I can teach you." Upon hearing that Zhang Qingfeng wanted to learn opera, the lady agreed without even thinking.

The reason why they agreed so happily was because the adaptation of Zhang Qingfeng's "Feng Shen Yan Yi" into an opera brought them huge benefits.
