Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

When several storytellers heard Gu Yanshu's words, they immediately cheered up.

In fact, this is not the first time that Gu Yanshu has asked them to talk.

Since they came to Prince Li's mansion, Princess Li had talked to them several times, and each time they asked them to hand in a new beginning.

However, every time, Princess Li would pick out some faults.

Either the words were not concise enough, or their description was not straightforward enough, and then they took it back and rewrote it.

With a simple beginning, several storytellers have changed it countless times.

Hearing that Gu Yanshu asked them to talk in the study today, the storytellers were naturally very nervous.

However, just after seeing Gu Yanshu's generous move to add monthly bills to the accounting room, the storytellers were nervous, but at the same time had a little more expectation:

If they also help Princess Li do things well, will they also get rewards?

When several storytellers were thinking like this in their hearts, Gu Yanshu over there gave them a positive evaluation:

"I have read the scriptures that several gentlemen gave me this time. This time, the gentlemen have done a good job. At least there is no problem in making words and choosing sentences."

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the storytellers suddenly relaxed a lot.

One must know that this is the first time in the past few days that Gu Yanshu has heard such a compliment-like evaluation.

However, before the storytellers could completely relax the expressions on their faces, Gu Yanshu changed the subject:

"Although the gentlemen have no problems with their words, the plot of this script is too boring and old-fashioned."

Fortunately, after these few days of tempering, the storytellers have been able to calmly accept the criticism from Gu Yanshu, and now they are also proficient in asking:

"What does the princess mean?"

"Naturally, gentlemen need to make this storyline more ups and downs."

As Gu Yanshu said, he took out one of the books from the table, flipped through it, and then began to give examples:

"For example, Mr. Liu Ye's book is about the story of a business lady who betrayed her heart. At the beginning, Mr. Wang wrote that this poor scholar was supported by a business lady, was able to learn from a famous teacher, and finally succeeded in getting a gold medal title."

"but

After high school, the scholar concealed the fact that he was married, and abandoned the chaff, and remarried the Shangguan's daughter. How will Mr. Liu Ye plan to arrange the plot after this? "

Although Gu Yanshu raised a question, he didn't give Mr. Liu Ye a chance to speak, so he guessed down on his own:

"I'm afraid you want to write about this poor wife who felt something was wrong after her husband hadn't returned for a long time. She went to Beijing to look for it, but found that the scholar was already in her arms. She had no choice but to accept it. In the end, the scholar hugged her right and left. Hug, share the blessing of Qiren?"

"Or maybe the wife of this chaff is a fiery one, unwilling to accept this fact, she had a big fight with the scholar, and finally left angrily. So the scholar chose to abandon the chaff, and then reconciled with the new wife Hemeimei , grow old together?"

It's no wonder that Gu Yanshu guessed the plot.

During the more than ten days of recuperating in the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion, the scripts that Gu Yanshu read almost all had such plots.

For a story like this, Gu Yanshu only reads the beginning a little bit, and can guess the end with his eyes closed.

Sure enough, after Gu Yanshu finished speaking, Mr. Liu Ye was surprised at first, and then nodded:

"The princess guessed right."

Gu Yanshu put the story book on the table and spread his hands:

"Look, Mr. Liu Ye, I don't have many books to read, and I can guess what the gentleman wants to write next. Those spectators who are often obedient to the book, won't be able to guess?"

"Should...should be able to?"

Although Mr. Liu Ye didn't want to nod, he had to admit that what Gu Yanshu said was indeed true.

Because being guessed by the spectators of the next plot had already happened when Mr. Liu Ye was telling the story.

Gu Yanshu didn't care about Mr. Liu Ye's current mood, and threw him an extremely heart-wrenching question:

"Sir, do you think the viewers will be interested in this kind of story that you can guess the ending after hearing it?"

"No." Mr. Liu Ye, who had been numb from the blow, shook his head directly.

Gu Yanshu said so much earlier, naturally not just to hit the storyteller:

"So, sir, in terms of the plot, you need to set up some ups and downs, so that the audience will sound unexpected, and naturally it will attract more people."

Mr. Liu Ye naturally knew that what Gu Yanshu said was reasonable, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that he didn't know

How to break the situation.

In desperation, Mr. Liu Ye could only choose to ask Gu Yanshu for help:

"I just don't know how to set up this plot so that it is unexpected, and I hope the princess can explain it?"

"Well, it's also very simple, just do the opposite."

Since Mr. Liu Ye posted the article sincerely, Gu Yanshu naturally has no reason to answer:

"For example, the story you are writing about the business lady who betrayed her heart can be written from the perspective of the business lady."

"In this way, the front part can be kept, but the latter part needs to be modified."

"For example, you can write that the business lady didn't wait for her husband to return home for a long time. After she noticed something abnormal, she went to Beijing to look for it. After discovering the shameless behavior of the heartbroken man, she decided to make peace with the scholar despite her heartache."

"Then the young lady asked the scholar to return all the money he had spent on studying before high school, and exposed the shameless face of the scholar to his superior."

"After getting the money, this lady can just forget about this heartbroken man, take over her own shop, manage the family property well, and make the family property grow stronger."

"As for the heartbroken man's new wife, after discovering all the things the heartbroken man has done, she also chose to reconcile with her. After the two reconciled, the Shangguan cut off his promotion because of the heartbroken man's character."

"In the end, when the heartbroken man found out that there was no hope of promotion, he wanted to seek forgiveness from the business lady, but he was kicked out by the business lady. In the end, he was destitute and lonely for the rest of his life."

When Gu Yanshu finished speaking, it became smoother and smoother. He didn't even bother to drink the tea, and directly arranged the endings of the protagonists:

"As for the business lady and the Shangguan's daughter, they will naturally be able to find their own wishful husband, with whom they will grow old together and love each other for a lifetime."

Mr. Liu Ye did not expect that he could actually get Gu Yanshu's answer just by asking casually.

I have to say that the story told by Gu Yanshu, whether it is from the starting point or the subsequent plot development, is enough to exceed the storyteller's expectations, and it has indeed achieved the feeling of "ups and downs" in Gu Yanshu's mouth.

Even after listening to it, Mr. Storyteller felt an inexplicable sense of comfort that came from nowhere.

but think about it

When the next story has to be written according to what Bao Yanshu said, Mr. Liu Ye has a look of embarrassment on his face:

"This……"

"What?" Gu Yanshu raised his brows slightly, indicating that Mr. Liu Ye can speak directly if he has any questions.

"It's good that the princess's plot is well arranged, but there are some, some..."

Mr. Liu Ye silenced his voice as he spoke, as if he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

However, Qin Hao, who had been sitting by the side, didn't have so many scruples, and continued directly following Mr. Liu Ye's words:

"The story told by the emperor's wife is indeed interesting, but it's a bit shocking."

"That's right! How can this woman easily reconcile with her husband?"

Now that the fifth prince had already said this, the expression on Mr. Liu Ye's face was not so embarrassing, and he directly said what was in his heart.

Gu Yanshu came from the apocalypse, and has long been accustomed to the thinking of equality between men and women, so he asked back without thinking:

"According to Mr.'s original arrangement, after receiving the support from his wife, the scholar can abandon his wife and marry another after he has achieved fame and fame. He even hugged left and right to share the blessings of Qiren. Why can't this wife choose to make peace with him?"

"This……"

This question also directly silenced Mr. Liu Ye.

Originally, Mr. Liu Ye wanted to say how this woman could be compared with a man, but when he saw Gu Yanshu's eyes at this time, Mr. Liu Ye's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

That's right, a heartless scholar can rise to the top after abandoning the dross that has been kind to him, and share the blessings of being equal to others.

Why can't this wretched wife choose to make peace with her?

Mr. Liu Ye had nothing to say, Gu Yanshu was satisfied, waved his hand, and directly settled the matter:

"Since the husband can't tell the reason, then the next plot will be written according to what I just said."

"But if it's really written like this, I'm afraid no one will like to hear it."

Mr. Liu Ye still chose to struggle to the death, trying to make Gu Yanshu change his mind.

However, Gu Yanshu did not withdraw his order as Mr. Liu Ye thought:

"Whether you like it or not, it's not the master's decision. You just need to write it out first. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Gu Yanshu has said that, what else can Mr. Liu Ye say?

Naturally, I can only nod, yes, cry

With a sad face, he agreed to this matter.

After finishing Mr. Liu Ye, Gu Yanshu picked up another book on the table and gave some writing instructions to several other storytellers.

What are the three golden chapters, what is suppressing first and then rising, what is the small opening climax, and some unexpected reversals, which directly stunned several storytellers.

After listening to Gu Yanshu's words, several storytellers finally understood why Gu Yanshu felt that the books they wrote were boring and the plot was old-fashioned.

After all, compared to the few stories that Gu Yanshu cites, what they said is indeed not worth mentioning.

After giving the writing guidance to the last storyteller and helping him arrange the next plot, Gu Yanshu's mouth was parched.

He picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp before asking:

"Any other questions?"

"Not anymore." Several storytellers shook their heads hastily.

Just now Gu Yanshu had already told them clearly what he was going to write next, if there were any more problems, it would appear that they were incompetent.

"Since there is no problem, let's all go down and hand over the script to me before the middle of next month."

Gu Yanshu slightly calculated in his mind that the first story of these gentlemen should not be too long, and 10,000+ words will be enough.

He has already made the arrangements for the plot. The gentlemen only need to narrate the story. Now it is the middle of the month, and until the middle of next month, one month should be more than enough.

And during this month, Gu Yanshu still had to think about how to tidy up the two teahouses in his dowry.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have the storyteller, the storybook, and no space for a few storytellers to play.

"Yes."

Sure enough, none of the gentlemen showed any embarrassing expressions on their faces, and they answered in one gulp.

Although the time given by Gu Yanshu was not urgent, it was not considered ample. After the gentlemen responded, they quickly turned around and left the study. Looking at the appearance, they knew that they should be rushing to work.

"Sister-in-law Three..."

After the storytellers left, Qin Hao finally couldn't bear it and called Gu Yanshu.

"Hmm." Gu, who had already dealt with all business matters,

Yanshu raised his head and looked at Qin Hao.

"The story you just told..." Qin Hao said hesitantly.

"Which story?"

There were four storytellers in the study just now, and Gu Yanshu told five stories in one breath when he was instructing writing. Gu Yanshu really didn't know which one Qin Hao was referring to.

"It's that...the story of the business lady betraying her heart."

Qin Hao has been thinking about the plot of this story just now, but he really didn't listen carefully to what Gu Yanshu said later:

"Do you really think that the merchant lady should make peace with the scholar?"

"Of course, this kind of white-eyed wolf, do you still want to keep the feud for the New Year? I'm not afraid that there will be no scum left in the future."

Gu Yanshu gave the answer without even thinking about it. When he said this, his tone was full of disdain, obviously he looked down on the scholar's behavior.

Who knew that when Qin Hao heard this, the expression on his face became even more strange.

Generally speaking, the words of literati more or less express the true inner thoughts of the person who wrote them.

Now that Gu Yanshu so calmly and firmly believes that the business lady should reconcile with the scholar, and arranged for the scholar to end his life in poverty and loneliness, it is hard for Qin Hao not to think:

"In case Brother Sanhuang does something to offend Mrs. Sanhuang in the future, then..."

However, Qin Hao only thought of this question here, and the next moment he heard Qin Lu's voice:

"Five emperors worry too much, your third emperor's sister-in-law is not the daughter of a businessman, and this king is not that poor and heartless scholar."

Only at this time did Qin Hao realize that he subconsciously expressed what was in his mind just now.

While Qin Lu was answering him, Gu Yanshu looked at him with strange eyes.

Looking at Gu Yanshu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling at this time, Qin Hao only felt a chill in his heart.

Just when Qin Hao began to search for an excuse in his mind and wanted to defend himself, Bai Shu didn't give him this chance.

Bai Shu, who had been waiting outside the study, hurried in from the door at this time, and stood still in front of Gu Yanshu, with a slightly serious expression:

"Master, something happened."
