Chapter 259

The news of Yang Sanlang's becoming an official quickly spread in Zhuantang Town, and immediately, relatives from all over the world came to congratulate him.

In order to celebrate Zhang Qingfeng becoming an official, Father Yang organized hundreds of banquets and invited all the folks in Zhuantang Town to have a meal.

Zhang Qingfeng, also in the congratulations of countless people, was a little elated.

A few days later, when Zhang Qingfeng left Zhuantang Town again, he finally let go of the burden in his heart.

The Yang family made a lot of money to supply Yang Sanlang to study, and Zhang Qingfeng occupied Yang Sanlang's body. If he suddenly stopped studying, the Yang family would definitely have trouble with it.

Well now, he became an official, and the Yang family's purpose of providing for him to study has been achieved, and it can be regarded as an explanation, so he naturally feels much more comfortable in his heart.

This time following Zhang Qingfeng, Yang's father Yang Maocai and two brothers-in-law also left.

Zhang Qingfeng became an official, and they planned to buy Zhang Qingfeng a yard outside Lin'an City.Houses in the city are definitely not affordable.

The business of the pen and ink workshop was pretty good this year, making hundreds of dollars every day. Over the past few months, although the Yang family bought a lot of land, they still saved a lot of money.

Zhang Qingfeng refused at first to buy a house for his family. He has enough money now, probably more than his family has.

But Father Yang insisted again and again, so Zhang Qingfeng let them go.

If you want to buy or sell a house in Lin'an, you need to register with the government office, and there will be a real estate government office that handles such transactions.

In the end, Zhang Qingfeng paid more attention to a big house outside the east city, which was closer to Mr. Zhao and the Liu family, and bought it for more than 5000 yuan.

After buying this house, Zhang Qingfeng has his own home.

In the following time, Zhang Qingfeng continued to invite invitations every year, and as he painted for court officials, his reputation grew.

Some small officials and big merchants also hope to get Zhang Qingfeng's paintings.

For these people, Zhang Qingfeng always asked them to come by themselves, he could not forget the pictures, and let them pick them up after the paintings were completed. If he continued to visit each family, God knows how long he would have to visit so many people.

Painting for these people, Zhang Qingfeng is not as detailed. After he is proficient in this kind of painting, he can paint ten times a day.

That's it, Zhang Qingfeng found that he was making money faster than he used to make from drawing pictures for officials.

The main reason is that some businessmen who are not short of money have a very generous deal. When they meet such customers, they never sell less than [-] guan.

This situation lasted for a month, and after a month, the number of people who invited Zhang Qingfeng to paint finally decreased a lot.

However, there are more painters who come to him for advice on painting skills.

Some of the painters were Hanlin Shizhao of the Academy of Painting, even if they were his colleagues, Zhang Qingfeng couldn't refuse.

Although this situation made Zhang Qingfeng more and more famous, it still annoyed him a little bit.But fortunately, every few days, he would go into the palace, mainly to look at the classics stored in the palace.

In later generations, many ancient classics were burned by wars in the long river of history. Zhang Qingfeng has the ability of photographic memory, and he wants to restore some useful classics back to modern society.

In addition, if he could read all the books in the palace, then he would be able to explain some surprising things in the future with his own genius.

At that time, people will say, isn't it normal for Yang Sanlang to read so many books and know so many things?

When he went to the palace, apart from reading books, Zhang Qingfeng would sometimes be summoned by the emperor or his concubine, or even the empress dowager, to play erhu for a while. Fortunately, such cases were not many.

But this also allowed Zhang Qingfeng to get in touch with many nobles in the palace, and the relationship is not bad.

At least if Zhang Qingfeng asks them for something, as long as it's not too excessive, it can only be done with a word from them.

"Yang Aiqing, when will your new novel be written? And when will your drama troupe rehearse the new play? It's been half a year and you're still acting?"

On this day, after Zhang Qingfeng was called into the palace by Emperor Zhao Kuo to perform the erhu for a while, Zhao Kuo said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"This... I have some ideas about the new novel, and I will start writing it in two days."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "As for the new play, it will be rehearsed as soon as the novel is written. It should be within two months or so."

Zhang Qingfeng didn't expect that Emperor Zhao Gou would personally ask him to urge him to change, which made him a little dumbfounded.

Other authors are always threatened by readers to send blades, but here, the emperor specially summoned him to the palace, and then urged him to update his new works in person, which is no one.

"That's good. After your novel is finished, send it to me to have a look first, and I'll help you correct it." Zhao Kuo nodded and said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Definitely, I will show it to the officials for your review after I finish writing it." Zhang Qingfeng promised.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Qingfeng was still a little amazed that the officials were all his fans and readers.

Calculated by time, after Zhang Qingfeng finished writing The Legend of the White Snake, he hasn't released a new work for more than half a year.

And the drama The Legend of the White Snake has been performed for less than half a year, and the tickets for the drama have been dropping again and again.

It is estimated that many actors will vomit every day they play The Legend of the White Snake.

Zhang Qingfeng also felt that it was time to rehearse a new play.

After Zhang Qingfeng thought about it, he decided to put the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai on the stage. After making the decision, he began to write about Liang Zhu.

At the same time, he also declared to the outside world that he would concentrate on writing for half a year and decline all invitations and visits during this half year.

Outside the world, many people started looking forward to it when they heard that Zhang Qingfeng had started creating.

The Romance of the Gods and the Legend of the White Snake have had a huge impact on Lin'an and even many places in the Song Dynasty.

It also allowed the people of the Song Dynasty to see the charm of full-length novels for the first time.

Now that Yang Sanlang is preparing to create his third work, he is naturally looking forward to it.

Even some people who wanted to visit Yang Sanlang lost their minds when they heard that Yang Sanlang was going to concentrate on creation, and looked forward to Yang Sanlang's new works instead.

The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has been circulated among the people for a long time, but no one has written this story in the form of a novel.

Zhang Qingfeng is going to write this story as a novel, in which he will add a lot of bloody plots and innovative techniques that are regarded as bad by people in later generations, but are still very new to the people of Song Dynasty.

This Liang Zhu, Zhang Qingfeng estimated that it would be the same as The White Snake, with around 30 words.

…………

After spending half a month, Zhang Qingfeng had already written all the contents.

While writing, he also asked people to copy countless copies of what he wrote every day, and then sent them to the palace or to some court officials and dignitaries.

These are all contacts that Zhang Qingfeng met in the past half a year. Sending them "serialized" novels is a good way for Zhang Qingfeng to maintain relationship with them.

Half a month later, Zhang Qingfeng began to select actors and prepare to rehearse a new drama.
