Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

When Li Xu returned home, he learned about the competition between the little princess and others, and the comparison was extraordinarily novel. He actually wanted to compare stories with an old man, not only in terms of content, but also in eloquence, which is not like a girl would do What happened?

On the same day, the news flew all over the capital as if it had grown wings. From the royal family to the common people at dawn, they all found it inconceivable, and more people began to talk about the little princess.

No matter what the starting point of the little princess is, the majestic royal princess is obviously narrow-minded if she can't get along with a storyteller, and it is said that this princess has been wandering the streets these days, eating everything she sees delicious, and eating anything interesting. Play, buy what you like, and stand up when you see injustice. Although she has won a lot of praise, in the eyes of rich people, this little princess is still too arrogant.

"Who says it's not? However, there was Princess Qingyang in the past, and there will be countless princess princesses who are so domineering in the future. It's not surprising. He is the only child of King Shun. It's strange to be arrogant. "

"However, no matter how arrogant Princess Qingyang is, at best she will order her maidservants to beat people up. This one dares to go on stage to tell a story. If King Shun finds out about this, his face will be so dark."

But in fact, Li Xu was not angry. After asking the reason, he nodded in agreement, and asked, "What story is Shu'er going to write?"

The little princess was very confident at the time, but she was a little discouraged after returning home. She had heard many stories from Li Xu that she had never heard outside, but she didn't write them herself, and she hadn't told them in public yet. , What should I do if I get scared?

Li Xu saw her regret, and scolded her severely: "Shu Ning, you think Mr. Yu's story is poorly written and well told, you can indeed criticize and challenge, but since something happened, you can You should think about how to win this game, even if you lose in the end, you must do your best."

The little princess cheered herself up, and said confidently: "I won't lose, but..." She glanced at Li Xu's face, and asked cautiously: "But can Shu'er write the story my father told? I will write it myself I'm afraid he can't compare to Mr. Yu who is well-educated and well-educated."

Li Xu laughed angrily, "Then how dare you challenge him? You still set a time limit of three days?"

"It's just that I can't get angry." The little princess muttered softly.

"Okay, many of the stories my father told you have never been heard by the world. You can choose one and write it silently, but you can't get something for nothing. You have to pay the price."

"Father, please tell me." The little princess has been instilled with the concept of equal exchange since she was a child, and Li Xu will let her do what she can do at home.

"Although there are ready-made ones that can be copied, they are other people's things after all. You have to write a story yourself. Write it with your heart. No matter whether it is good or not, it is only as if you have worked hard."

This is not difficult for the little princess, and she immediately agreed, "Then father, go and rest, Shu'er is about to start writing."

The corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched, I really don't know where this little girl got the courage to raise such a challenge, but it's not a big deal, so she made a speech on stage.

Li Xu didn't bother his daughter for three days. On the third morning, the little princess came to him with two handwritten manuscripts. She presumably shyly handed over the one she wrote. Li Xu flipped through it. There were a lot of words. It takes an hour to tell a complete story on stage, which is a bit out of line for a child of this age.

The story is set in the background of ordinary citizens, which surprised Li Xu. He thought that the little princess would write a story with a mythical background.

A boy's family changed drastically, his parents died, his family property was invaded overnight, and he was driven out of his hometown. So, he took his only big yellow dog and started a wandering journey.He traveled to many places, did many things, and received help from many people, but he was also discriminated against and beaten by many people.

A few years later, the boy has grown into a teenager and is still a beggar, but he is different from other beggars. He will sneak under the window of the academy to listen to the teacher's lecture, practice writing on the sand with a branch, and also recite The texts taught by the teacher, over time, are better than the students who are serious in class.

But he is a beggar after all, he has no source of income, he has to beg for food, and sometimes he is so hungry that he would steal food from the kitchen of the college. , So the boy was kicked out of the academy and ordered not to come back.

The young man who has learned a little knowledge is not reconciled. He has experienced a different scenery from knowledge. He found that knowledge will not treat you differently because of your background or status. As long as you study hard, you can learn better than others better.

The young man made an important decision. He decided not to wander. He was going to apprentice. The first ones he looked for were some hermits and great writers. Mr. is willing to accept a beggar who can steal as an apprentice.

But he was not discouraged, he already knew a lot of words, and every day he brought the broken books he picked up from the garbage dump, went to see him no matter the weather, and knelt at the door of others to study.

His perseverance finally moved an old man who became an official, but he did not accept him as an apprentice. He only promised to teach him knowledge, and he could not be called a master and apprentice to the outside world. It was an ordinary relationship between a master and a student. He gave three catties of meat and one hundred catties of rice as bundle repairs.

The young man has no possessions, so it is impossible to hand in these bundles. At first he wanted to steal, but the old man strictly stopped his stealing behavior. Once he found out, he would be driven out. He would never let him go lightly. He pointed out a Ming Lu, he said, "You can use the knowledge I teach you to make money."

The young man wondered, "How can I make money after learning this knowledge?" Naturally, the old man would not reveal the method to him, but let him figure it out by himself.

The young man is very persevering. In order to continue his studies, he began to work part-time at night. He has done countless kinds of work, such as pouring night incense, washing dishes, washing clothes, and farming. As long as he is capable, he has done it and earned money The meager income he took was finally able to be handed over to Shu Xiu.

Gradually, the young man learned a lot and opened his horizons. He was not satisfied with such a humble job. He wanted to make a lot of money, so after accumulating a little money, he embarked on the road of doing business. At the beginning, there were many difficulties. But the young man used to have nothing, but now he has a wealth of knowledge by his side, so he is not afraid at all, no matter how bad it is, he will be beaten back to his original form.

The business is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is getting more and more. The boy is an adult, and he still studies with his master. When he earns enough money, he starts to travel around the world. He traveled to many places when he was a child, but at that time he only cared about food and clothing. , where can he see other things, now that food and clothing are settled, what his eyes can see is the most beautiful scenery and the most beautiful people.

At the end of the story, this young man became a great benevolent man. He helped many people with his own hands. Although he could not become an official in this life, he won praise from the people and became the object of worship in many places. It can be regarded as a name left in thousands of history.

From this story, Li Xu saw the shadows of many people. Wu Jin, Ji Hanyu, and even him have all become objects for this young man to learn from, but I have to say that the little princess portrayed this young man who strives for progress very well. , he is not perfect, he has all kinds of shortcomings, he is just a little person who is very close to life.

But he is also great, able to do what others can't, and never forgets his original intention after success, and his characterization is very positive, so he can be used as a role model.

If this story is placed in modern times, it can probably be written as a book titled: Biography of So-and-so Success.

But would teahouse guests like such a story nowadays?Li Xu thinks not necessarily, a small person is a small person after all, no matter how hard he works, he will be looked down upon by others. The guests in that teahouse are at least from the middle class, and these people may not agree with the young man's career path, and this story lacks love The line looks a bit boring.

Li Xu didn't comment after reading it, and then read the story of the little princess who wanted to use it for the competition. He turned to the first page and saw the first line, and he knew that she was sure to win. Li Xu has read the story of the battle of war, the history of this world, although there are many stories about the art of war of the predecessors, but there is no Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there is no 36 tactics, but there are similar art of war.

Li Xu would know all this because he liked to watch TV dramas when he was a child. At that time, there were no entertainment activities. Classics such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West were played repeatedly every year. Even if he didn't read the original works, he could still remember a lot.

He said: "Although this story is very good, if you can't write it, if someone asks you, who wrote it, how do you answer it?"

The little princess was stunned for a moment, she didn't consider this point, she was just trying to win.

"You are too young. If you can really write such a story with your own hand, it will be too scary, and no one will believe it. At that time, everyone will only think that you are looking for a gunman. You must be mentally prepared for this."

"Then... what should I do?" The little princess thought she was sure to win, so she hesitated and asked: "Then how about... I'll just talk about the story I wrote? If you lose, you can lose. It's not that you can't afford to lose. What the princess said at the time was right, the story of the old man was not very good."

With Zhuyu in front, the little princess certainly has the confidence to say such things, but others don't know.

Li Xu thought for a while, and suggested: "Or you can tell everyone in advance that this story is written by someone else, and you are just a storyteller. Anyway, you didn't say you have to write the story yourself, did you?" Age, everyone should be able to guess this, even if the little princess wrote it herself, others might not believe it.

"It's true that I didn't say that I have to write it myself, so that's it." It's too late to write it at this time.

Li Xu encouraged her daughter: "Okay, eat breakfast first, and you will have the strength to give a speech when you are full. Don't be nervous, it's just a small game. The money you win is all at your own disposal, and it doesn't matter if you lose. of."

The little princess didn't want to lose, "If you lose, you will embarrass your father."

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "If you talk about embarrassment, in fact, this incident itself is quite embarrassing in the eyes of outsiders, but why should we care about it? You are a little doll, competing with a long-established storyteller , if he wins, the other party will really go into the hole in shame."

The little princess is kind-hearted, and she felt reluctant after hearing the words, "Is that not good? What if the old man is harmed and won't be able to earn pension money in the future?"

"Haha..." Li Xu rubbed the little princess's hair happily, "Don't worry about it, that Mr. Yu is richer than you think, and the Yu family doesn't rely on the income from a teahouse for their living." How can a person who comes and goes in and out of the officialdom at will and can live a life of generating electricity for love have no background at all.

In this way, the little princess will feel at ease, just don't cut off the family's money.

After breakfast, the little princess asked expectantly, "Father, are you free today?"

Li Xu knew what she wanted to ask, and deliberately pretended not to know, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"If you have time, can you go with Shu'er?" The little princess looked at Li Xu with big watery eyes, and no one could refuse.

"Okay!" Li Xu not only agreed to go with her, but also asked for the first time to go out with the prince's guard of honor, just the preparation work wasted a lot of time.

A luxurious carriage was parked at the gate of the palace, and there were long guards and guards of honor in front and behind, filling up a whole street.

"Isn't this the house of King Shun? What is the purpose of such a big battle?"

"I heard that today is the day for the little princess to compete with Mr. Yu. Maybe the prince is going to support the little princess?"

"Impossible, a majestic prince, it's appalling to allow his daughter to show her face to tell a story, and still support her? Come on, Prince Shun is so boring, I think, the little princess may not be able to go out today." The voice just finished, Everyone saw the gate of the palace in the distance, a few maids cleared the way, and then a little girl ran out, it was too far away to hear what she was saying, but the big guys recognized it, it was indeed the little princess .

"Look, the little princess is really going to be a storyteller. Oh, we have to go to the Ruyi Teahouse to occupy a seat, otherwise we won't be able to see the storytelling style of the little princess with our own eyes."

"There are no seats at this time. I heard that it was fully booked three days ago. I guess there is no way to get in by the windowsill."

"Isn't it just a farce, can you really watch it?"

"No matter how nonsense you are, that is Her Royal Highness Princess who was born in a noble family. If you look at history, when will you see a princess from a country on the storytelling table?"

"Absurd! Absurd! King Shun doesn't care about it."

"How can I say that the little princess is favored? I heard that the prince never restricts her. She can go wherever she wants, unlike some girls who don't leave the door and don't go out."

"That's too outrageous!"

"Look, look, the little princess didn't get in the carriage, she came here on a horse..." The crowd of onlookers took a look, and sure enough, they saw a little girl in red riding a tall horse that only adults would ride past the guards Walking in front, His Royal Highness Shun Wang got into the carriage, and then, this huge team started to move.

What a ghost, which one is the father sitting in the carriage, and the daughter runs ahead on the horse?Prince Shun's Mansion really doesn't respect the rules.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

At the second quarter of the hour, the convoy from the Shun Palace arrived at the street where the Ruyi Teahouse is located. This street is usually very lively, but today it is even bustling with people.

"Here we come, the lord and the little princess are here!" With the shout of the crowd, people who pretended to be shopping rushed towards the teahouse. The seats were already booked, but there was still a large open space at the entrance. A squeeze can still be heard.

The little princess rode to the carriage and asked excitedly, "Father, there are so many people, are they all here to see me?"

Li Xu's steady voice came from inside the carriage, "Of course, they all want to see Her Royal Highness's demeanor!"

"My lord, you can't enter the North Street, so you can only get out of the car and walk." Liu Shu originally wanted to drive away the pedestrians and clear a road, but seeing the carriages of the ministers' homes parked on this street, he knew it was okay. If it doesn't work, he can only wrong his prince and take two steps.

Li Xu jumped off the carriage, carried the little princess off the horse, and walked through the crowd holding her hand. There were people greeting him everywhere, people he knew, people he didn't know, people watching the fun, and people who wanted to see his daughter make a fool of himself. There are all kinds of people.

"Are you nervous?" Li Xu lowered his head and asked his daughter.

"Don't be nervous, it's better if there are more people." The little princess smiled confidently.

The two saw the flag of the teahouse from a distance, and then saw a tall man standing under the flag fluttering in the wind, waving to them.

The little princess exclaimed excitedly: "Uncle Kou is here too, I thought he was too busy to come."

Li Xu raised his brows, and thought to himself: Why did he miss Kou Xiao, "You called Uncle Kou here?"

"I just sent someone to inform him of the incident. Uncle Kou is too busy, and I rarely see him after returning to Beijing." The little princess pursed her mouth and said, like a poor little candy.

Li Xu suddenly felt displeased with Kou Xiao, sure enough, anyone who wants to rob him of his daughter is not very welcome.
