I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

After drinking to my heart's content, I checked out and left.

After that, Gu Ming originally thought that Lin Youde's married woman's family might cause a little trouble, but unexpectedly, it was calm.

According to the information Ma Yun inquired about, the master behind the painting came forward.

Lin Youde has become a useless person now, he is crazy, so he is not suitable to be an official, and he was secretly sent back to his hometown

Hearing such news, Gu Ming said two words lightly: "Retribution!"

"Hehe, Brother Gu is really brilliant!"

"It's not a good move, it's mainly because that guy did something wrong."

"Brother Gu, what's going on? How did you know about that dog officer's past?" Ma Yun asked curiously.

"It's a coincidence. Of course, you may sound a little weird."

The more he said this, the more curious Ma Yun became, and he raised his finger solemnly and said, "Brother Gu, tell me, Xiaosheng swears not to spread the word!"

"Well, that evening, I passed a small courtyard"

Gu Ming talked about how he got acquainted with Hongxiu.

After listening, Ma Yun was speechless for a long time.

Only after regaining consciousness did he let out a long sigh: "It's really weird, but it's a pity that such a beautiful woman as Hongxiu

That person surnamed Lin really deserves to die, he didn't know how to cherish such an infatuated woman. "

"Forget it, the matter has been exposed, and it is reasonable to prepare for the next exam."

"Yes, yes, read, read"

Unexpectedly, in the following days, scholars would come to the inn to visit Gu Ming every day.

Because at this time, the news of his writing has slowly spread among the circle of scholars who came to Yuhang to take the exam.

In fact, it is common for scholars to write books, but more than [-]% of them can only be written, and there is no chance of printing them into books.

Even if you have a little spare money, if you pay for it and print it out, you can just distribute it to your classmates, relatives and friends for appreciation, just for fun.

It is more difficult to earn money by writing books than to be a Juren.

In addition, a few scholars from Guobei County helped to blow it up, saying that Gu Ming's book has sold tens of thousands of copies, he also runs a poetry and painting club, and at the same time he can catch ghosts and subdue demons, etc.

As a result, it is difficult for Gu Ming to keep a low profile.

However, this was also a rare publicity opportunity, so he asked someone to bring a letter back, and ordered He Yongliang and others to prepare hundreds of books and send them to Yuhang Mansion as quickly as possible.

Several copies of the publicity brochure including Dream of the Red Chamber were also reproduced, and they were handed over to Ma Yun, Xu Jiaying and other good friends to help promote it.

Regarding this, Ma Yun joked: "Brother Gu, are you here to catch the exam or to sell books?"

"Hehe, it's all about pushing the boat along with the flow, it's the same!"

"I will definitely visit your study after the exam. Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate."

"welcome"

"By the way, Brother Gu, the book hasn't arrived anyway, why don't we go to Qiantang and enjoy the scenery of West Lake?"

Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the word "West Lake".

Of course, such a famous place must be visited, anyway, it is not far away.

So, at noon that day, the three of them hired a carriage and went out of the city, heading straight for Qiantang County.

Chapter 1 West Lake, Legend of the White Snake

Qiantang County is famous for its West Lake.

In addition, it is very close to Yuhang Mansion and not too far from Gusu Mansion, so many people come to visit.

Some just come here for fun, but there are also many young ladies or scholars who come here admiringly, hoping to meet a good relationship.

After all, there have been many legends about talented scholars and beautiful ladies by the West Lake since ancient times.

After the three of Gu Ming arrived at Qiantang, they didn't go directly to the lake due to time constraints, but first played in the county town.

After all, there are many places of interest in the city.

When passing by an open-air tea stall, a storyteller was sitting on a stacked tea table and was spitting:

"Let's say that the white lady is originally a white snake spirit who has cultivated for thousands of years."

"Xu Xuan is a mortal child with the naked eye, how can he see through the real body of the white lady?

When we met in the first day of junior high school, I was taken away by the beauty of the white lady."

As soon as Gu Ming heard the words "Bai Niangzi" and "Xu Xuan", he couldn't move anymore.

"Brother Gu?"

Ma Yun walked for a while, but found that Gu Ming hadn't followed, so he walked back.

"Why don't you go shopping first, and I'll listen to this storytelling."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to also like to listen to the story of the white lady. This is very popular in our Yuhang area."

Since Gu Ming wanted to listen to storytelling, Ma Yun naturally accommodated him, called Xu Jiaying back, made three bowls of tea and sat down to listen together.

"Okay, let's stop here today. If you want to hear about the future, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

Just hearing the wonderful things, the storyteller stopped talking.

Routines are all routines.

Seeing Gu Ming's unfinished expression, Ma Yun couldn't help but smiled and said: "It's okay, I've heard this story for countless times, why don't I tell you."

"Very good!" Gu Ming nodded in relief.

So, while drinking tea, Ma Yun talked about the local legend of the white lady.

There are many versions of the legend of the White Snake in Gu Ming's previous life.

However, the most popular and widely disseminated version is undoubtedly the well-recognized classic version of The Legend of the White Snake.

The next anime, White Snake: Origin, was also very popular.

However, Gu Ming doesn't like the version circulated in this world very much, it is far from the image of the white lady in his mind.

This version of the image of the white lady has no trace of fairy spirit at all, and still cannot escape the shadow of the fairy.

In the end, he was easily suppressed by Fahai under the Leifeng Pagoda.

Of course Gu Ming didn't like this ending, so he made another decision in his heart: write a Legend of the White Snake to rectify the name of the White Lady.

Strive to make the Legend of the White Snake a classic myth, and let the White Snake become a fairy-like existence in the hearts of the people like in the previous life.

In the evening, the three of them went to the restaurant to have a few drinks together, and then returned to the inn to rest.

Gu Ming has long been used to going to bed after midnight, and started reading when he had nothing to do.

After all, he was determined to win the provincial examination this time, so after coming to Yuhang Mansion, apart from daily tasks, he almost spent his free time reading books.

Silent all night.

After dawn, the three of Gu Ming ate breakfast, chatted for a while, and then walked to the West Lake.

It was still early, and there were not many tourists by the lake.

Speaking of which, Gu Ming also swam in the West Lake in his previous life.However, compared with the West Lake in the previous life and this original scenery, it is really far behind.

The sky is clear and the mist is misty.

There are fishing boats on the lake, and some early-rising tourists go boating.

Coupled with the swaying lotus leaves in the lake and the fish playing, it adds a bit of charm.

All of a sudden, Gu Ming was so excited about poetry that he couldn't help but recite a poem:

"It's good to have clear water and shining water, but it's also strange to see the mountains empty and rainy.

If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, it is always suitable to wear light makeup and heavy makeup. "

As soon as the poem was uttered, Ma Yun and Xu Jiaying clapped their hands and exclaimed.

"Brother Gu's talent, it must not be difficult to pass the exam this time. If you pass the Jinshi exam in the future, you will really soar into the sky."

"That's right, that's right, Brother Gu, when he becomes famous in the future, don't forget about us."

Gu Ming said cheerfully: "I will accept the auspicious words of the two brothers. However, even if Xiaosheng really wins Jinshi, he doesn't want to be an official."

"what?"

Hearing this, Ma Yun and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Scholars all over the world study hard in the cold window, isn't it just to get fame and fame, so that they can enter the official career and honor their ancestors?

"Could it be that Brother Gu is worried about his dangerous career?"

Xu Jiaying couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, once you enter an official career, it's as deep as the sea, how can you be as carefree as you are now?"

Hearing this, Ma Yun couldn't help but smiled and said: "Brother Gu is really extraordinary. In fact, Xiaosheng doesn't want to be an official. He just wants to take the exam to seek fame, and then he will take care of the family business with his heart."

The three of them walked around the lake while chatting, and it was noon before they knew it.

At this time, the flow of people increased significantly.

"Brother Gu, just ahead is the famous Broken Bridge, which is also the place where the white lady and Xu Xuan met in the storytelling."

"Oh, let's see."

The broken bridge is not a half-broken bridge, but a quaint bluestone arch bridge with gazebos at both ends.

It is said that the bridge was originally just a simple wooden bridge, but later a bluestone arch bridge was built by a couple surnamed Duan, so it was named Duanjia Bridge.

Later, for some reason, the name became the world-famous Broken Bridge.

There are many legends about this bridge. In addition to various folk myths and stories, there are also many poets who wrote poems here.

People come and go on the bridge, except for a few people who are on their way, most of them are tourists.

From time to time, some scholars can be heard reciting poems and composing Fu.

Some are indeed poetic, and some are probably peacocks, hoping to attract a lady from a certain family and pass on a good story.

When walking in the middle of the bridge, an acquaintance suddenly walked up to him: Niu Huayue.

There were two people accompanying him, one was a scholar whom he had seen in the inn, and the other was dressed in a strange way, and seemed to belong to the class of quack warlocks.

"Unlucky, why is this guy here?"

Xu Jiaying couldn't help but frowned.

Ma Yun smiled: "Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's just a big deal to say hello, and it's not the same way."

At this time, Niu Huayue also found Gu Ming and the three of them, with a frown, he couldn't help walking over diagonally.

"It's true that we don't meet each other anywhere in life. I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet three dear friends on this broken bridge."

With Niu Huayue's personality, it's really rare to be so proactive and courteous.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Niu to come to swim in the lake with such a good mood."

Xu Jiaying said something lukewarm.

"West Lake is famous all over the world. It's rare to come to Yuhang Mansion once. Naturally, we have to do more shopping."

"Hehe, Mr. Niu is right. If there is nothing else to do, I will leave first!"

Unexpectedly, Niu Huayue smiled: "Since we met here, why don't we talk about it again?"

Speaking of this, Niu Huayue glanced at Gu Ming, and continued: "Recently, I heard that many people mentioned this Brother Gu, saying that Brother Gu can not only write books, but also catch ghosts and eliminate demons. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"It's just a rumor, Mr. Niu doesn't have to take it seriously." Gu Ming responded lightly.

"Hehe, why does Brother Gu have to be so modest? By the way, I will introduce you to you."

Niu Huayue turned around and pointed to the man in Jianghu costume who accompanied him: "This Master Fang is well-known in the Jianghu. He is good at strange gossip, not to mention exorcising evil spirits.

Since Mr. Gu also knows some spells, why not exchange ideas with Master Fang? "

This so-called master Fang, whose real name is Fang Datong, claims to be proficient in the art of dunjia, and can deduce the secrets of heaven and change people's lives against the sky.
