I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Chapter 37



In the story "Legend of the Divine Eye", the protagonist is Li Lei.

Fu Wenyu's purpose in writing this article is very clear, which is to write about gambling on stones and antiques, and to write about Li Lei's continuous progress on these two lines, and finally slap the villain in the face and become famous.

Of course, in order to enrich the plot, in addition to content related to stone gambling and antiques, Fu Wenyu also interspersed other plots. For example, the provocation of Green Tea's younger brother, the kindness of his grandmother, the hypocritical care of his kind-faced and cruel stepmother, the reactions of Li Lei's classmates and friends, and those who came to visit Li's house and wanted to buy the piece of jade, etc.

The plots mentioned by 'Brother Li' appear in the article.

In order to enrich the character of 'Li Cha' and to advance the plot, Fu Wenyu also wrote classic green tea quotes that have been certified by millions of modern netizens.

For example, when a family is having a meal:

Li Cha: "Dad, Master praised me again today, saying that my articles are better than before, and I can try it next year. Uh, I'm sorry, brother, I forgot that you don't like to hear this."

Then Mr. Li would say, "What does it have to do with you if he can't study? Could it be that since he can't study, the family can't talk about studying?" Then he turned around and scolded Li Lei, saying why he didn't Let's learn from Li Cha. After studying for so many years, Master has never praised him even once.

Li Lei, holding the bowl: "...?"

Afterwards, Li Cha said, "Well, brother, dad misunderstood what I said today, and you got scolded. But I didn't mean it like that. How about I explain it to dad."

Later, Li Lei was scolded again for no reason: "...??"

In short, in tea speeches such as 'Brother, you must have misunderstood', 'Dad, don't be mean to eldest brother, he also wants to study hard', 'Brother, you can't be so stingy', 'I really envy you, eldest brother', etc. Under the tea language, the person Li Cha suddenly appeared on the page. To be honest, after writing this, Fu Wenyu felt awkward for a while.

As the saying goes, art comes from life, and there must be people like 'Li Cha' in life. Now listening to the conversation between 'Brother You' and 'Brother Li', could it be that there is such a person around 'Brother You'?

Frankly speaking, Fu Wenyu is a little curious.

However, he didn't know the two of them, so he was just curious in his heart and did not step forward to ask. Since that 'Brother You' didn't reveal it in front of his friends, he definitely wouldn't tell him either.

So Fu Wenyu thought about it and decided to change a certain plot later. If there is such a person around 'Brother You', it would be a good idea to give him a warning. After all, the other person is one of his VIP customers.

Just as I was thinking about it, the waiter came over with a stack of papers.

"Dear guests, today's Liuzhou tabloid has arrived!"

"Five cents a piece."

"If you have a quick hand, you will have a slow hand -"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Give me one!"

"We both want one too."

"Hey, it's finally here. Why don't they print it faster? One copy lasts five days. How can I get through the other four days? I've read the storybook several times."

"Which one do you like?"

""Legend of the Divine Eye"!"

"It has to be "Legend of the Divine Eye"."

"Actually, "The Story of the Green Hairpin" is pretty good. Qin Niang is really a kind-hearted woman."

"I don't like romance, nor do I like poems and songs. I think the best among these three stories is of course "Legend of the Divine Eye"!" The person who said this looked envious, "Just ask this world , who doesn’t want a pair of eyes that can see through stones and find out whether there is jade inside.”

"If I had such a pair of eyes, I would climb to the foot of Jade Mountain!"

"Don't you want it?"

The person who asked the question spread his hands and said, "I thought so too. Isn't it true?"

"Hey, you guys, I wonder what kind of treasure Li Lei will find today. Last time I saw him spending ten cents to buy the remaining stones that others had cut, but in the end he cut out a piece of jade and picked up a big leak. ”

"Someone is offering a hundred taels of silver to buy it."

"If it were me I would sell it!"

The man shook his head in fascination, "Sell it and buy other stones, then cut out the jade, sell it and buy it again. In this way, money will beget jade, and jade will beget money. From now on, money will be endless, and there will be endless scarcity..."

Before he finished speaking, his friend next to him who liked to read the ending first and then the beginning gave him a shove, "Don't be too greedy for money. Read today's 'Liuzhou Tabloid'. Li Lei is blind. He Out of sight!"

"What?!"

"Li Lei is blind?!"

As soon as the news spread, it was like boiling water falling into a pan of oil, and the whole tea house started talking about it. Some impatient ones even urged the waiter who was collecting money and getting newspapers at the same time.

"Get me one quickly, why are you taking so long?"

"Come, come, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead and rushed between the first, second and third floors. The stack of 'Liuzhou Tabloids' in his hand was quickly reduced. Go down.

Finally, everyone in the teahouse had a copy of everything they wanted to buy, and those who couldn't afford it, didn't want to buy it, or couldn't read found someone to share a copy with and listen to someone read it carefully, or they picked up something that others had thrown away after reading. .

The reader feedback Fu Wenyu wanted came in like a tide.

"How could he be blind?"

"How can Li Lei tell whether there is jade in a stone after he is blind? Could it be that the 'opportunity' he got is more useful when he is blind?"

——This is just reading the text without remembering the previous text.

"Who cares if he's blind or not? I just know I have to wait another five days."

--This is someone who only reads the text and doesn't understand it in detail.

"This Fu Wenyu is really too much of a bully. Why did he stop here again?"

"What happened to Li Lei? He should write!"

"Did his hand break?"

--This is someone who doesn't want to think and just scolds the author first.

Of course, there are also rational people.

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's the 'price' that the immortal said."

"When the immortal gave Li Lei the 'opportunity', he said 'there is gain only if there is sacrifice'. Li Lei has to use 90% of the money he got from the 'opportunity' to do good deeds."

"But until now, Li Lei still hasn't spent a penny."

"He probably forgot about it a long time ago."

"How could the immortal not be angry?"

"The immortal was angry and took away his eyes."

As soon as he said this, it immediately resonated with many people.

"Yes, yes, yes, since it is the 'chance' given by the immortal, how can it be without a price? If it weren't for your reminder, Mr. Zhang, I would have almost forgotten about it. The immortal did say at the beginning, 'You can only gain if you give up.'"

"That's right."

"So that's the case. Can Li Lei's eyes be restored?"

But some people whispered, "Ninety percent is too much. If you sell it for ten thousand taels, you have to take out nine thousand taels to do charity. I think one hundred taels is enough. What kind of charity can cost nine thousand taels?"

"Humph, I'm different. If you give me a pair of 'divine eyes', I'm willing to pay nine thousand five hundred taels!"

"And me, I'm willing to pay nine thousand six hundred taels!"

Fu Wenyu listened quietly, occasionally chatting with others.

After drinking a pot of tea, eating snacks and tea eggs, he also got the information he wanted.

In general, readers still praised the plot of "Legend of the Divine Eye". Perhaps because they knew that it was a storybook and that it would not happen in reality, this group of ancient readers were more receptive than he had imagined.

Then Fu Wenyu was relieved.

It happened that the shopkeepers and masters who went out of Jubaolou had returned, and his studies in Jinshizhai and Jubaolou had also come to an end, and he had accumulated a lot of notes and materials. So in the following time, Fu Wenyu did not go out and buried himself in writing storybooks at home.

In just seven days, he pushed the plot of "Legend of the Divine Eye" to 100,000 words.

It was only one step away from the end.

The first eight chapters of "Legend of the Divine Eye" tell what happened after Li Lei got the opportunity, which is about 25,000 words.

Then Li Lei, who forgot the immortal's reminder and did not achieve "giving up before gaining", woke up one day and suddenly found that he could not see, suspected of being blind.

This news shocked the entire Li family.

Mr. Li immediately invited the best doctor in the city. The doctor felt Li Lei's pulse, performed acupuncture, and prescribed some liver-clearing and eye-improving medicine for him. The doctor boiled the medicine into bowls and drank it down, but it didn't work at all. In the end, all the doctors in the city were invited by the Li family, but they were helpless.

Li Lei, the eldest son of the Li family, was really blind.

Then there were "suspects of poisoning", "self-examination but no findings", "relatives went from anxiety to comfort", "friends went from comfort to distance", "Li Lei went from panic and fear to self-abandonment and decadence", etc.

Of course, there are also plots about Li Cha and his mother.

Similar "tea talk" such as "Brother, don't worry, although you are blind, the Li family still has me, I will support the Li family", often appear around Li Lei.

Gradually, Li Lei was disheartened.

The turning point of the matter happened on an ordinary morning, similar to the day when Li Lei found out that he was blind.

It turned out that the grandmother of the Li family, who loved her eldest grandson, saw that medical skills were useless, so she placed her hope on the gods and Buddhas. That day, she got up early, went to the temple to pray for Li Lei, and donated three hundred taels of incense money. The moment the incense money fell into the merit box, Li Lei's world was restored to light!

Then there were plots such as "Li Lei was ecstatic", "Master Li and Grandmother Li were happy", "Li Cha's mother and son forced a smile", etc. After this incident, Li Lei also thoroughly remembered the saying "You can only gain if you give".

He immediately donated all his savings to the charity that adopted orphans and helpless elderly people. And prepared two money boxes, and then divided the money into two parts.

One tenth for personal use, nine tenths for charity.

So from then on, Li Lei's eyes never had any problems again, and he returned to his previous state. As long as he looked carefully, he could see clearly whether there was jade in a stone. Moreover, after this incident, he could not only see the jade hidden in the stone, but also see whether the antiques were real or fake.

After Li Lei successfully stopped his antique shop from accepting a fake, Mr. Li was very pleased.

"Lei'er, I found that you have become much calmer recently."

"You used to be impatient and careless. But since your eyes have improved, you have become a different person, and now you can help the family run the business."

"That's great, that's great."

Li Lei, who has indeed become much calmer after the incident, smiled, "Dad, I am already eighteen years old this year, an adult, how can I be like a child?"

"Well, you are eighteen years old..."

Mr. Li seemed to have just realized that his eldest son was already eighteen years old today. He looked Li Lei up and down, and then suddenly said, "Eighteen years old means you are an adult. Since you are an adult, you should help your father. I will leave this antique shop called "Jinshizhai" to you."

Li Lei was surprised, "Leave it to me?"

"Yes," Mr. Li nodded, and said a few words with concern, "Dad sees that you have some talent for antiques. In this case, go to "Jinshizhai" and learn from those masters. The antique business is very complicated. You should read more, think more, and ask more about everything. Don't make decisions on your own."

Li Lei nodded happily, "I know, Dad!"

But in the end, Li Lei didn't go to Jinshizhai alone. Because of pillow talk, Li Cha also came with him, under the pretext of "brothers working together can break metal with their strength."

If it were in the past, Li Lei would probably be indignant and dissatisfied, thinking that his father didn't value or trust him. But Li Lei, who had experienced the "chance" and the "blindness", was no longer the Li Lei of the past.

So on the first day he came to Jinshizhai, he used his magical eyes to get the praise of the masters and set off Li Cha in the mud.

Li Cha's face was black all day.

Seeing this scene, Li Lei suddenly had an idea and imitated Li Cha's tone in the past: "I'm sorry, second brother, big brother, I didn't expect that you couldn't even tell the authenticity of these antiques. It's such a simple thing. Maybe this is that people have shortcomings and rulers have strengths."

"But don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't tell the authenticity of antiques, it doesn't matter if you can't tell whether there is jade in the stone, and it doesn't matter if you can only read but don't know anything else."

"The Li family has me, the big brother, and I will support the Li family."

At that moment, Li Cha's face twisted.

Li Lei burst into laughter.
