[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

After Xia Anran paid the final payment very readily, and made some small requests that he thought were completely innocuous, the big food businessman took a brand new order and a supplementary contract, and was very satisfied with Xia Anran. The little gift given by him stepped out of Xia's house, and as soon as he left, a head popped out from the wall of Xia's house on his back foot.

The man saw the back of the big food businessman who happened to see it, and asked Xia Anran who came to see off the guests with some doubts, "Why did the prince find the big food businessman? They are so cunning! The Persian businessman is a little more reliable."

Seeing Xia Anran looking at it with a smile, he suddenly realized something, and quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm just curious, you don't need to care about it, you don't need to answer me!"

Xia Anran's smile remained the same, but he was a little speechless and had to glance at him. He felt that Pang Yu's little head must not know where to turn it. Originally, I took inspiration, read too many picture books, and I don’t know how to write, but people have indeed become a little too sensitive.

He waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, and then said, "I ordered a batch of glassware from the ambassador merchant, and it has been delivered. It's just an ordinary purchase and sale of goods."

Hearing the key word glass, Pang Yu immediately showed a look of indifference. In the Song Dynasty, the firing technology of glass had already appeared, and it was also commercialized.

However, due to the quality of local raw materials, Dasong's glass firing technology is far inferior to the imported products brought by Dashi merchants.

Xia Anran could also find a way to help the Da Song businessman burn better quality glass, but he felt that it was not necessary.

Nowadays, Song Dynasty has become a huge trade surplus country, and the export volume is much higher than the import volume. This kind of trade asymmetry can easily cause some forces to covet Song Dynasty.

Just like the Qing Dynasty in later generations, including modern China.

The most stable relationship between countries is trade equality.

Although it is impossible to achieve equal import and export, it cannot be far behind.

And businessmen are chasing interests. Once the businessmen find that the benefits you get from you are far less than the benefits you get after launching the war, they may stand behind the war and take risks.

What's more, from the perspective of maritime trade, it is not cost-effective for merchants to have a full warehouse of high-value goods when they export, and a low warehouse with low-value goods when they return, because they pay the same price when they go back and forth.

And such a situation is easy to attract pirates.

Of course, the main reason is that Xia Anran needs to use the excuse of ordering from the big food merchants to divert the attention of these smart merchants in the future, so that they cannot catch business opportunities and crack the secrets before he spreads the market.

And when the market spreads out, even if imitations appear soon, at that time, he has already mastered most of the market.

It is not so easy to seize a brand in this field, unless the other party can unite and suppress it at a low price.In order to achieve the same result of "pursuing the good with the bad" like the currency, but this is not easy.

Because raw materials are not cheap.

And the focus of this set of things is not on the pen.

That's right, what Xia Anran customized was a glass dip pen that is very popular among modern literary youths.

The history of the glass dip pen is not short. When promoting it, it was said that it can be traced back to World War II. It was an alternative material before the ballpoint pen was popularized. However, due to the natural limitations of the material and the disadvantages caused by the material on the writing surface , after ballpoint pens, fountain pens, and fountain pens appeared one after another, they were once squeezed out of the market and became commodities with excess craftsmanship and practicality.

The reason why it can be prosperous today is largely due to the emergence of colored ink.

For literary youths, in order to satisfy their collection addiction without wasting waste, their only choice is to buy a few pens and frequently clean the pens. The former is expensive and the latter is laborious, so the glass dip pen As a commodity that has long since exited the stage, it returns at this time.

It has a beautiful appearance and is easy to clean. Although the number of characters that can be written is not many, it is acceptable for ink testers to dip hundreds of characters at a time.

After all, life needs a sense of ritual.

The production method of the glass dip pen is extremely simple. Whether it is a spiral pattern or a straight pattern, the essence is to send the ink to the bottom at a uniform speed through the groove capillary. Both methods can play a certain role in ink storage. The only difference is that It’s just that there are more words and less words, but if someone thinks that the technical characteristics of the glass dip pen are in its dip pen itself, it is wrong.

The dip pens of the Song Dynasty are completely different from those of modern times. Modern dip pens use fountain pen ink, but today, the world does not have fountain pen ink, not even brush ink.

If you think that the ink can be used only by grinding the ink stick and mixing it with water, and then diluting it, this is actually a misunderstanding.

Pen ink and brush ink are completely different in nature. Let alone the chemical composition of the two, a certain amount of jelly is added to the brush ink during the manufacturing process.If you use it as the current pen ink and directly dip it, firstly, it dries up very quickly, and secondly, it is easy to cause poor drainage on the dip pen.

The essence of pen ink can be said to be dye + water.

Of course, in the modern ink manufacturing process, glue is also added to some brands of pen ink, but the purpose of adding glue is not to make the ink have a certain adhesion, but to make its color more stable.

Therefore, the Da Song version of the glass dip pen does not focus on the glass pen body itself, but on the specially formulated ink.

If the counterfeiting focuses on something as new as a dip pen, it must have taken a detour.In fact, the glass dip pen is just a medium. Even if it is not a glass dip pen, just take a piece of bamboo and carve it into a similar shape, it can also achieve this effect, but its life is shorter. The ink has already been in place, and these inks are prepared by several master craftsmen of the Bai family. The color is black and thin, and the ink is not carbon black, but a mixed dye that is almost black.

If you use a brush dipped in juice to write on paper, it will definitely bleed. Therefore, if you want to use such a dip pen, you must not only use its matching ink, but also use the matching paper.

These papers are also exclusively provided by the Bai family's paper mill, but Xia Anran informed of its manufacturing principle.

The raw material of these papers is bamboo, which is abundant in the south, and it is different from the selection of ordinary bamboo paper. In order to ensure the characteristics of the paper’s friction resistance and ink absorption, the bamboo is specially left when it is crushed. The bark of bamboo.

What is used is not young bamboo, but young bamboo.

After special treatment, these bamboos are recombined in a certain proportion according to different raw materials, and then pressed after the ordinary papermaking process.

The recipe for this kind of paper was brought out by Xia Anran from the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, this kind of paper was not very popular among literati in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because it was a bit too hard, but because bamboo skin and finished bamboo were relatively cheap, this kind of paper still had its advantages. market.

But unexpectedly, these papers were quickly favored by engineering students, because when they used pencils, the friction of the paper was much more comfortable than when using ordinary bamboo paper.

First came the paper, then the ink.

After getting the paper, the craftsmen saved a lot of detours on the way to experiment with the most suitable ink.

Even if someone discovers the secret of ink one day, and someone tries to crack it, they will find that the ink they have spent a lot of effort to develop cannot be used on ordinary paper. Paper from the Bai family.

In any case, the final cost will not be low, and when the final result is produced, what price should be set so as not to lose money?

And by the time they finally have everything in place, this small market has already been saturated.

True, the market for glass dip pens is not huge.

Glass itself is not worn out, but its fragility and high cost doom its market limitations—a niche product with low popularity.

So Xia Anran's personal plan is to enter the mid-to-high-end market.

Ink and paper have already been transported by the Bai family's previous merchant ship, and what Xia Anran has been waiting for is this batch of dip pens, and now everything is finally ready.

==

Time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the suspension of the Bianhe River, which runs through the main artery of the capital, means that the external transportation of Bianjing City is only land transportation.

Compared with last year's calm, even with some speculation and hesitation about whether the emperor can take charge, this year's New Year's atmosphere is full of prosperity.

In the first year after the emperor came to power, there was no major disaster in the whole country. Bao Zheng, the chief of Kaifeng Mansion, contributed a lot of things that the citizens could talk about. There is an extra fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, a special military position.

Coupled with the battle of double swords during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as the ensuing influx of Jianghu people into Bianjing and their extravagant consumption, it directly caused the small merchants in Bianjing to have a happy New Year.

This summer, the sunshine time is long, the river water is rich in bait, and the fish harvest is large. At the same time, the grains in the grain filling period have received sufficient sunshine, which also gives the best feedback in autumn.

Grain harvest.

The total grain output of the country was finally collected years ago, and Zhao Zhen learned the news at the court meeting after the statistics were completed.

When he received the submitted memorandum, Zhao Zhen was elated for a moment. He always felt that this year went smoothly, which was a bit unscientific. He was overjoyed and immediately stood up, pacing back and forth in the hall.

While the young emperor was genuinely happy for this year's bumper harvest, he immediately saw Xia Anran, who was standing behind the Eighth Prince as a pillar today, looking at him with a bright gaze.

By the way, these are just the bright side, and there are many good news in the dark that cannot be put on the court.

All of this is due to Brother Xia.

The little emperor closed his grinning mouth, recalled all kinds of luck since he met Xia Anran, and coughed dryly.

It must be that the five elements of my brother and I are in harmony and help each other, just like what Fang Zhang said, my emperor star is next to the auxiliary star Yaoyao, brother Xia must be the brightest star!

Xia Anran, who was secretly poking at the bottom to calculate the Champa rice production, suddenly met his cousin Liang's eyes that were about to explode, and felt completely bewildered.

Xia Anran, who could only stand with his arms folded due to the wide sleeves of the court dress, used to focus his gaze on the palm in his hand, but now because of the hot gaze of the little emperor, he had to look up and meet the little emperor. His eyes were ready to move, his intuition was not good, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the little emperor say, "This year's imperial examinations select only good talents, but I heard that due to Enke's rush, there are still many talented people who failed to catch up."

"So I want to open the imperial examination next year, both civil and military."

What he said caused immediate discussions among the courtiers, but the general trend was still His Majesty's wisdom.

After all, for these officials, it is not a big problem for them to have more low-level officials in the court, except for a very small number of courtiers who tactfully persuaded that the talents selected last year have not yet been fully arranged. Your Majesty, we should postpone it to the end. Year?

But their suggestions are just small waves in the big trend, and they haven't even been able to stir up any waves.

That's how the matter was settled.

This matter was agreed upon, and Zhao Zhen immediately smiled and announced his retirement. He was extremely satisfied seeing Xia Anran's figures who were the last to leave.

That's right, of course, the imperial examination was advanced one year because Zhao Zhen had an idea. He couldn't openly reward the little lucky star Xia Anran. Xia Anran is also living a good life now. It seems that he doesn't lack anything, but he lacks a caring little apprentice!

The last time I heard that his student got the first place in the exam last year, I just waited for the next imperial examination to enter the capital to take the final exam.

Before the younger brother asked when he could start the next imperial examination, I thought he cared about this student very much.

So this time, being the elder brother is an exception, holding the imperial examination for two consecutive years. Since it is the imperial examination, the civil and military examinations are parallel. In this way, the students of the younger cousin can come to the capital, isn't it special? Caring.

Zhao Zhen, who turned his back on the courtiers and retreated first, rubbed his fingers hidden in his sleeves. He felt that he must be rewarded well, such as going to Xia Anran's house to pet a cat or something.

Speaking of which, he hasn't been out of the imperial city for a long time, and he's really been busy recently, but fortunately, things in Hong Kong will decrease accordingly.

Do it when you think of it.

After confirming that the Xiaochaohui had no missions, Zhao Zhen changed into ordinary clothes, and left the palace in a simple carriage.

There was still a little time to go from the palace to Xia Anran's mansion, Zhao Zhen had just gotten into this small carriage, and he took out a few story books from the dark and started to read them.

That's right, although he is the emperor, he has to keep up with the fashion circle in the capital, otherwise he will be out of date when chatting with his lovers.

Emperor Zhao Zhen, who was closely following the fashion circle, directly turned the story book to the page he had read last time, and read the regularly shaking carriage with relish.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

Zhao Zhen got out of the car unsteadily.

Just as he was about to get someone to knock on the door, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar collide with his eyes. Both of them froze for a moment, and the latter was even more shocked.

But what puzzled Zhao Zhen was that the scholar's frightened eyes still showed a bit of joy and intimacy, um, a little weird.

He straightened his robes, put down the book basket in his hand and bowed his head towards Zhao Zhen. Just as he was about to speak, the door of Xia Anran's house was pushed open from the inside, and it was Xia Anran himself who poked his head out.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw that the person waiting at the door turned out to be Zhao Zhen, so he quickly shrank back, and quickly covered his face with his sleeve and hid in the dark.

He waved the two of them to come in quickly, and then quickly closed the door.

In fact, it was not a big problem for Zhao Zhen's Bailongyu suit to come to Xia Anran's mansion. After all, it is not a secret that the two of them look alike. In Bianjing City, Xia Anran's address is well known.

Xia Anran went home dignifiedly, no one would think too much.

But if these two people accidentally met each other's faces, wouldn't they immediately tell others that the one outside is the current sage?

Fortunately, Xia Anran usually keeps a low profile, and the surroundings here are either rich or expensive, there are very few traffickers, except for some small eyes in the dark, no one should notice.

Their movements were very fast, but they should not have been discovered within a few breaths, and this scholar is also a quasi-court person, so it will be a matter of time before he is discovered, so it doesn't matter.

So after closing the door again, Xia Anran's attitude was still very relaxed. His attitude was relaxed, and this other person naturally couldn't relax.

Do you know who this person is?He just accepted Xia Anran's entrustment. After passing the imperial examination and entering his career, he finally squeezed out time to complete Xia Anran's entrustment.

Liu Sanbian got excellent grades in the imperial examination this time, he was already quick-witted, but this time he felt that he had already received the praise and encouragement from the current emperor, and he had a very stable mind.

And these days, although he has been in the Chu Pavilion in the brothel, he is not ignorant of the government, and the composition of the brothel is complex, and there have been frequent contacts with martial arts people in the brothel, whether he wants to or not. , He has absorbed a lot of information from martial arts people like me.

These have helped him to achieve good results in the scientific examination.

He broke into the palace examination all the way, and was even more relaxed after seeing the face of the emperor in front of the stage. Instead of affecting Liu Sanbian's preparation for the exam like Xia Anran was afraid of before, this familiar face seemed to give him Injecting a booster, his answer sheet on the chapter of the palace examination can be said to have reached his peak in these years.

In the end, he chose the second place for him in one fell swoop.

Now that he has become the second place, Liu Sanbian has been extremely busy since the scientific examination.

He was originally a leader among literati, but he was also a cancer in the eyes of some officials.

These days, whenever there is a banquet, there are always a few people who want to talk about his past events, and keep talking, which probably means that you, Liu Sanbian, were good at talking back then, and you even wrote a poem. The result?Now it’s better to come back and walk this way hehehe.It seems that you are just trying to catch your name!

Liu Sanbian's own temper is not very good. If not for this, he would not have written the article that completely angered the emperor. He felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he untied the seal of his mouth and started Open the road to spray.

He has been wandering around in low-class places all year round, and a few deep-water torpedo kings bombed, and the other party quickly quieted down.

He himself didn't do well, his Shang Feng didn't like Liu Sanbian's exaggerated style of writing, now seeing that his attitude was not humble enough, he naturally treated him coldly.

Liu Sanbian, who had finally entered the official career but did not want to be treated like this, was in an extremely sad mood. His grief and indignation unintentionally boosted his inspiration. The flowers blooming in the skull, the more moving the talent of the poems written are when the official career is not going well and the life is in trouble.

Liu Yong stayed up all night for the past few days, changing and revising and repairing the commission given by Xia Anran before. He had already completed [-]% of it before, but at that time he was full of anticipation and joy, and what he wrote was always so good. Something is wrong.

So he did not submit it for a long time, and now he finally wrote an answer sheet that satisfied him, and he copied it again, and he came here today to hand over this manuscript to today.

He believed that with his heart-to-heart connection with today's, the officials would definitely understand his feelings.

That's right, in fact, he came to try his luck through the back door.

But he never imagined that what he saw would be such a scene.

Two officials, royal secrets, no two days, my God, my life is over!

Although he won the first prize, he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune. In fact, Liu Sanbian had never formally met Xia Anran. Naturally, he didn't know that there was a King Pingnan who looked very similar to the emperor in the court.

He is not very popular, so naturally no one will share these gossips with him, and those who are close to him feel that there is nothing to say about it. All kinds of circumstances have led to him now following two people, one tall and one short, with a dazed look on his face. Two men walked into the door from behind.

Zhao Zhen's attitude was extremely calm. Liu Yong's parallel prose was indeed well written. Although he still had some opinions on this person, Enke himself meant to let the past go.

So he can be regarded as an adult who has forgiven Liu Sanbian's various disrespectful actions before.

But in essence, he still doesn't like people like Liu Sanbian very much. Zhao Zhen has been taught Confucianism since he was a child. He is actually an extremely serious and rigorous emperor.

It is difficult for people to like a type of person whose personality is completely opposite to their own, especially Liu Yong's reputation is not very good.

Therefore, although the emperor didn't know why Liu Sanbian ran to Xia Anran's mansion, as a good elder brother, he still felt that he should give his younger brother more freedom, so he didn't express his opinion for the time being... Well, at most, after this person left , Tell my younger brother about the various bad deeds of this person. It is best to persuade my younger brother not to associate with such a person.

Although he had such small calculations in his heart, on the surface Zhao Zhen was still very calm. In front of his courtiers, he naturally couldn't tell Xia Anran that he came here to pet cats, so he drank two After tea, he pretended to check Xia Anran's homework.

Xia Anran, who was suddenly spot-checked, looked confused, homework?What homework?Small story book?He has been graduating for many years, and he has always been the only one who gives questions to others, and no one else gives him.

What's more, it's winter now, and it's too cruel for the author to draw out a pen to write in the winter, Xia Anran firmly refused in her heart.

Seeing that there was no way to catch up with Zhao Zhen's brain circuit for a while, Xia Anran didn't panic at all. He had already taken a fancy to Liu Sanbian who was holding a book basket in his hand, and he knew that this was the one who came to hand in homework .

Therefore, the witty Xia Anran immediately changed the topic, and brought the disaster to Liu Sanbian. He said all the things before, saying that he was ignorant, and invited Zhao Zhen to taste Liu Sanbian's homework for him. When Zhao Zhen heard that Xia Anran actually asked Liu San to write lyrics and music for him, he felt a little displeased.

He felt that his younger brother was born with him!

Zhao Zhen didn't have many other things, he had a lot of civil servants and students under him, but he didn't mention Xia Anran's lack of songwriters at all. Instead, he went to find the prime minister in white...

This is not possible, Zhao Zhen rolled up his sleeves and picked up the book basket that Liu Sanbian had mentioned earlier, and without waiting for Liu Sanbian to open his mouth, he picked up the top volume. He opened the book and thought about it. It's time to have a good talk with brother, since they are brothers, they should watch over and help each other, and they shouldn't be born like this.Is there anything more intimate than the two of them in this world?

——He also didn't think about who he could find to write this thing for him even if Xia Anran spoke to him, and he was afraid that it would still fall on Liu Yong, after all, this is the king of the songwriting world.

The idea of ​​the emperor did not exist for long, he was quickly attracted by the plot in the scroll, in order to hand in a perfect score for Liu Yong, he specially copied the plot written by Xia Anran in this scroll , and the lyrics and music he wrote are expressed in another font.

Looking at it this way, I just feel that the front and back are extremely smooth, and there is no sense of inexplicable.

His thoughtful service served Zhao Zhen himself, who had only listened to Xia Anran's generalization, but did not have time to fall in love with this newly published script.

The story of Xia Anran's water-testing work is very short, and what Zhao Zhen had previously collected were long short stories, and such short stories were deleted from the circle of collection.

So Zhao Zhen really didn't know that his little cousin actually wrote this touching script when he didn't notice, and planned to rehearse it into a play.

He only flipped through a few pages before he was addicted to it. Liu Yong is an extremely harsh person in literature. Xia Anran's mistakes in words were corrected one by one in the process of transcribing, and some inappropriate adjectives were corrected. He had to trim it a little bit. The two volumes of "Book with My Husband" and "Book with My Wife" were originally straight saplings, but Liu Yong's skillful decoration made them look more verdant and verdant. .

When Zhao Zhen saw this, he couldn't stop.

In particular, the lyrics and music written by Liu Yong are extremely integrated with the plot, and the music is not visible for the time being. Only the words are appreciated, and every word has a sense of meaning.

Liu Yong is good at writing boudoir grievance poems and farewell poems. When he wrote this kind of tragic plot, his talent was quickly stimulated, and every word and every sentence was like weeping, which only made people teary eyelashes. Take part in the reunion of this pair of good men and women.

But at the end of this volume of stories, the plot where the husband would be reincarnated into the physical body like an ordinary storybook did not appear. Instead, there was a scene where the lady put on a military uniform and her husband's soul to fight against the enemy. This design, In the Da Song dialect world, which mainly ends in comedy, it can be called a turbid stream.

It gives people a feeling of white jade with slight flaws.

But just as there is a saying in later generations that tragedy is eternal, it is because of the flaws in the story that it makes it more moving.

In the final blank, both Xia Anran and Liu Yong did not reveal the meaning of the final ending. They had the ambition to leave the final blank for the audience to imagine.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was in a state of complacency, so he liked comedy endings.

He repeatedly asked Xia Anran that the two would be able to reunite in the end, Xia Anran showed a meaningful smile, and said a little calmly, the reunion will definitely be the last reunion, as for how to reunite, I don't know.

Zhao Zhen is so smart, he understood what Xia Anran meant after a little thought.

What Xia Anran said means that in the end, Mu Niang will die in battle, and then the husband and wife and their souls will reunite.

It's not unacceptable...

But he quickly turned the page to the place where Xia Anran wrote, "Brother, you just wrote that the soul of this soldier exists in the world because of Muniang's concern. If so, then After Mu Niang also died, the concern this time will naturally be gone, and the soul of the soldier dissipated in the world, how can it be regarded as a reunion?" Obviously it is another tragedy, you die, I dissipate, Maybe it's just the last time I can see...

What's more, if no one cares for Mu Niang, according to the setting of this book, Mu Niang will disappear immediately, and there will be no chance of reunion.

Xia Anran didn't speak, he slowly touched the plate of tribute oranges on the table, picked one up, and put it in Zhao Zhen's hand, "Officials, let's eat some oranges."

Lowering the fire, being the emperor, why are you so restless.

Zhao Zhen had nothing to do with the original author's perfunctory attitude, and he couldn't let the original author change the ending. He felt itchy for a while, but suddenly his eyes turned to Liu Sanbian who wrote the ending song for this song. He was about to speak, I saw Liu Sanbian's eyes showing firm rejection.

Don't be kidding, although Liu Sanbian doesn't like tragic endings, but his self-cultivation as a person in the art world is to not change the ending.

That's what I, Liu Sanbian, said here. Even if I, Liu Sanbian, stop being an official, can't afford to eat, and have no girls chasing me, I will definitely not change the ending!

Of course, he didn't say these words directly, but Zhao Zhen also had a literati's clear heart, so he naturally understood the meaning from Liu Sanbian's attitude.

With a long sigh, he could only admit that if Xia Anran's method of writing was followed, the story would be unconventional and would leave a deep impression on people.

If the husband and wife return home in the end, this will only be a short fairy tale, but now it is precisely because of the insurmountable life and death and regrets in it that this story has given birth to a soul

He pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu San and said, "Did you already compose the music? Let's play it."

In the end, the last emperor left with red eyes.

Before leaving, he firmly asked Xia Anran to give up the idea of ​​putting this short play in his own restaurant.

He knew the second brother's restaurant, if brother Xia was really allowed to do something like this, it might not be long before this restaurant would turn from crowded to crowded.

Hey, my brother is still too immature!It really bothered my brother.

Zhao Zhen was embarrassed to take away the mission items that Liu Yong sent to Xia Anran for a while, but he had already told Xia Anran to remember to copy a copy for himself when he was too lazy to go to court.

Xia Anran had already found a troupe recommended by Pang Yu to start rehearsals for Xia Anran's play, so Zhao Zhen didn't spend any more time and energy looking for another one for Xia Anran. After bidding farewell to his little cousin, he hurried back to the palace.

Zhao Zhen's trip this time did not achieve his goal, but instead he had more anxious expectations in his heart.

He saw the quality of Liu Sanbian's lyrics, so he naturally had expectations for this play, and wondered if the compilation could be completed before the Lantern Festival.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to personally participate in the change to increase the speed.

Zhao Zhen's self-cultivation is excellent, his personality is sensitive and delicate, and he is especially good at seeing the big from the small. After a few minor changes, he turned it into a foreshadowing. It doesn't matter if you read it once, if you read it repeatedly, you will only Feeling that it is very easy to make people cry, Xia Anran was a little surprised when she saw the foreshadowing laid by Zhao Zhen.

This man told him a few days ago that it would be better to change the ending to a comedy. He didn't know what he had gone through. After a few days, he was already proficient enough to put a small blade in it!

As a storybook, Xia Anran can start with flashbacks, but if it is to be rehearsed into a script, especially a short play, this is not the case.

Especially considering that it will be placed in the teahouse according to Xia Anran's plan, since the guests may watch it from any angle at any time, so in order to ensure the audience's sense of experience, "memory killing" must be inserted into the play the concept of.

There may be only a few words in detail, but those few words will show the harmony between the husband and wife, and the state of mutual understanding.

In this way, the image of the two is also full.

"Short plays can't be played much. If such a story is changed to a long play, it will be the most beautiful if everyone is invited to play." Zhao Zhen put down his pen and said with some regrets. A small theater can't support a big drama with just such a setting.

Moreover, the spread speed of big dramas is far slower than that of small dramas. The original purpose of this story is just to plump up the images of soldiers, he does not pursue artistry!

Xia Anran's refusal was not heard by these two bosses.

For some reason, Zhao Zhen and Liu Sanbian changed the tense atmosphere when they first met, and the two of them quickly left Xia Anran behind, shining with the brilliance of art and finding a common language.

The two only met face-to-face three times, and now they are already writing how to rewrite the beginning, succession and transition of a big drama.

In the end, Xia Anran listened to what the two of them said, which set a cheerful main tone for the first half of the play, using the template of a romantic drama to focus on how the couple knew each other. How happy and lively, with a bright tone and no twists and turns in emotional development, is simply a cookie.

Then after a special session, there will be a crazy turn, like a knife that is desperately plugged in after the candy is distributed.

There are so many flowers blooming in the front, but there are so many heart-wrenching behind the fire cooking oil.

If Xia Anran were the audience, he would laugh as much as he laughed at the beginning, and cry as much as he cried at the end. After watching this play, there would probably be only one last thought left——damn the author.

As the real author, Xia Anran could only shiver in the atmosphere where these two people excluded him, and felt that he might not be able to escape this scapegoat, but it was really not his fault. Due to the strange situation of being blamed, Xia Anran couldn't help but took out the newly made Taiyi God Table that night, lit candles and incense, and worshiped several times.

The author has something to say: Xia Miao: I have been taking the blame recently, this situation is too strange, I must say goodbye!

===

I saw in the comment area yesterday that I ordered a chemical bottle or something, and the author fell into deep thought. What makes you think that the author is a cub who has mastered chemistry in quantity?No, no, chemical equipment is impossible to appear hahahahahaha! ! !

Did not expect it!I didn't guess any of them, it's a glass dip pen, my dears! !I see someone guessed it! !

In fact, you should know that I will take out a dip pen one day when you see the Amway color ink of the previous author.

To be honest, the production mode of the dip pen is very simple, and the writing time of the dip pen depends on the ink, not the pen itself. I tried this, and the one with gold powder will write longer than the one without gold powder, probably because The gold powder is heavy and it will be easier to bring the liquid down.

But I tried it. The JR I bought can basically control 150 characters in Chinese characters, and the cheap dip pen I bought can also be controlled in about 100 characters.

At the same time, I experimented with a brush, and the characters on the brush should be larger. To be objective, I can write about twenty characters at a time, not more.

Although this is unfair, after all, if you use a dip pen to write such big brush characters, the ink will definitely be greatly reduced, but there is one point, for a book, if you can use the same space to carry more content, it is a win, so , being able to write small characters is also an advantage.

Therefore, hard pens later seized the soft pen market, not because of who is more artistic, but because of who is more convenient.

It's a pity that the invention of the beauty pen was too late. If it was invented around the same time as the ballpoint pen, the result would be unknown.

But I personally think that hard pen will win in the end, just like simplified characters will definitely win traditional characters.

The progress of society does not depend on who is more artistic, but who is more convenient.

By the way, hard pens were the earliest in China. Until Qin Mengtian invented (improved) brushes, it was basically hard pen calligraphy. In ancient China, there was a kind of bamboo that was cut at an angle, and then filled with materials that could store ink. A simple pen, of course, a file can be considered a hard pen,

Hard pens were replaced by brushes because of changes in what they carry. Whether it is bamboo slips or paper, soft pens are destined to occupy the market, and soft pens can write more characters than simple pens at one time.

But what needs to be said is that the glass dip pen is too hard to write more artistic fronts, pauses, etc.

So don’t feel wronged by the soft pen, the times are advancing, maybe in a few hundred years, the soft pen will make a comeback due to the change of the bearing method?

For example, in the future, everything will be input on the screen. When you only need to sign, of course, the brush will be more powerful!

For example, many people in Japan now use Shurei pens for their signatures, because they are indeed more beautiful.

And the glass dip pen is so pretty!Really, it's so beautiful!

Regarding the misleading anti-counterfeiting incident of the three layers of pen, ink and paper in the article, in reality there are...

I saw it before, but now I can't find relevant information when I look for it, so you can just read it as gossip. ?

When the erasable fountain pen first appeared, many manufacturers took a detour. What they studied was not the ink itself, but the eraser produced by the first company.

Because in the long-standing concept of everyone, it is impossible for ink to be wiped itself, so the point must be that this manufacturer put articles on the eraser.

And this scam lasted for nearly three or four years.

When the first manufacturer is concentrating on the research of other companies, it has a large-scale erasable ink pen market in its own hands, and almost no other manufacturer in the same field can become its enemy.

But in fact, the principle of its erasability is not the eraser, but its ink is a special thermal ink. The eraser itself is actually ordinary rubber. The principle of color removal is just friction and heat generation. This temperature has reached the tolerance of the ink. Temperature, that's all.

His competitors have tried to crack it for several years, and this reverse thinking not only traps the competitors' eyes, but also wastes a lot of research costs of the opponents. The immature erasable fountain pen, in the eyes of consumers, finally found that the first pen was the highest quality, which increased the recognition of the first company. Even if this technology was later broken through, many brands had to give up. This market.

The main battlefield of this battle itself took place in Japan, how did I know...

(Dark face) Some time before my college entrance examination, the concept of erasable pens suddenly appeared in China. The pen is still different from now. The eraser behind it is a real eraser, (maybe it is a pen eraser?) Anyway, because I am a person who likes
