Chapter 101: Setting Roles

"It's written quite well." Lv Fang smiled lightly: "It's just that all three of you like Lin Daiyu, and the content you wrote is almost the same; I'm starting to suspect that the three of you copied each other."

"Whatever Young Master Fang orders, how would we dare to be perfunctory? It's just that the three of us happen to like Lin Daiyu."

Zhong Xin affectionately helped Lv Fang pat the dust off his robe.

"How do you feel about Aunt Zhao in *Dream of the Red Chamber*?" Lv Fang let Zhong Xin fawn over him and asked softly.

Zhong Xin smiled and hooked Lv Fang with her eyes, charmingly: "Young Master Fang, this question can't stump me. I think Aunt Zhao in *Dream of the Red Chamber* isn't actually too bad; at most, she's a bit stupid."

Lv Fang examined Zhong Xin's features, nodded, and shook his head.

Compared to the actress who played Aunt Zhao in his past life, Zhong Xin was much younger and much prettier; the main thing was that the charm she possessed couldn't quite interpret Aunt Zhao.

"Young Master Fang." Zhong Xin felt her whole body heating up from being stared at, twisted her body uncomfortably, and said: "Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Lv Fang smiled slightly, passed Zhong Xin, entered the elegant room, and glanced at Tong Wan'er and Wang Huachu: "Since the three of you are all here, I'll tell you what you will specifically do later."

He no longer hid it and directly stated the plan to perform *Dream of the Red Chamber*.

"Ah?" Tong Wan'er blinked her eyes, looking as if she hadn't heard correctly.

"Is this true?" Wang Huachu was skeptical.

"Perform *Dream of the Red Chamber*?" Zhong Xin was stunned for a moment and said cautiously: "But Young Master Fang, the elegant text was written by Lord Wenguan; if we perform it, will it be okay?"

Lv Fang shook his head: "You don't need to worry about so much; you just need to read *Dream of the Red Chamber* a few more times and carefully ponder the characters. Your name is Tong Wan'er? You will perform Shi Xiangyun."

Tong Wan'er jumped three feet high: "Really, that's great! Besides Lin Daiyu, I like Shi Xiangyun the most."

Zhong Xin seemed to have thought of something, frowned, and said with a wronged face: "Young Master Fang, how can you be biased? I don't want to perform Aunt Zhao; I'm not like her at all."

"If Lin Daiyu won't work, how about Wang Xifeng? If that really doesn't work, Qingwen is fine too."

"If you really let me perform, I will definitely be able to perform well."

He Zixuan said: "Young Master Fang, I think she is indeed quite close to the image of these characters."

Lv Fang agreed: "Alright then, you can ponder these characters first. It's only a preliminary decision now; who will perform which character in the end is not finally determined."

Even if Wang Huachu didn't like to compete, she was a bit anxious now: "Young Master Fang, what about me?"

Lu Fang looked at her and said: "You ponder Lin Daiyu, Miaoyu, and You Erjie first; if you think you can perform others, you can also ponder them."

"If you have any ideas, or how to perform, you can write them down, and I will look them over one by one."

"Okay." Wang Huachu smiled beautifully.

After the roles were temporarily set, Lv Fang and He Zixuan left while talking.

The three women watched the two leave and looked at each other, seeing joy in each other's eyes. They had thought that being sold here would mean living under someone else's roof and having a hard time, but who would have thought it was to perform *Dream of the Red Chamber*.

This was too much of a surprise for them.

"Sister Wang, Sister Zhong, am I dreaming? Am I really going to perform Shi Xiangyun?" Tong Wan'er swallowed her saliva.

Zhong Xin reached out and pinched her cheek until she cried out in pain, then let go, laughed, and ran away: "It looks like we aren't dreaming."

Tong Wan'er, who should have chased after her to play, just giggled, having no intention of chasing her at all. Just thinking about performing Shi Xiangyun later made her unable to stop laughing.

Zhong Xin sighed and said: "Sister Wang is still the lucky one; the characters that Young Master Fang chose for you are all ones that everyone likes."

Wang Huachu frowned: "I just don't know if we can successfully perform it; I feel that Lord Wenguan might not be willing."

The fourth elegant story, *Smiling Proudly in the Jianghu*, was serialized in the *Da Zhou Wen Bao*, and its literary style, different from the previous three, made people marvel.

As the story slowly unfolded, they couldn't put this Jianghu down.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Hahaha..."

The Zhou Emperor laughed very happily. In the freezing winter, both the northern and southern frontiers were relatively stable, and Lv Fang had also written a fourth elegant story.

At this time, what could be happier than reading a chapter of *Smiling Proudly in the Jianghu*?

"Lord Wenguan writes really well!"

The Zhou Emperor praised.

The Chief Eunuch smiled; he couldn't remember how many times the Zhou Emperor had said this sentence. Having served the Emperor for so many years, this was the first time he had seen the Zhou Emperor so happy.

It was no wonder the Zhou Emperor was so happy; it was because good things had been happening one after another these past few days.

Whether it was the popularization of the *Da Zhou Wen Bao* or the reason for *Smiling Proudly in the Jianghu*, the number of people obtaining scholarly aura on Grand Void Mountain had increased by several times in the past few days.

Many of them were illiterate, had never practiced martial arts, and could not cultivate the Confucian path. These people being strong also meant that the Great Zhou was strong.

It was said that many people had also obtained cultivation techniques like the *Evil-Warding Sword Art*.

The Zhou Emperor was truly envious.

Shen family back mountain.

In the cave.

"Father, that's great. Lord Wenguan has written a fourth elegant story in Jingcheng, and I heard it has caused a craze of discussion there."

Shen Qiheng reported to Shen Kangbo on the back mountain.

Shen Kangbo nodded with a smile: "Lord Wenguan is indeed remarkable; writing four elegant books without interruption can be called unprecedented."

"Take a message to Xiao Qi, tell her to speed up the popularization of the *Da Zhou Wen Bao* while taking advantage of this time, lest there be long delays."

"Yes." Shen Qiheng responded and said: "Father, the Xiao family in Jingcheng is secretly investigating everything about Lord Wenguan; I'm afraid they are going to take action again. Should we go and remind him?"

Shen Kangbo pondered for a moment: "Not for now. Have the best spies keep a close watch on the Xiao family and see what they actually want to do."

"Everyone will add flowers to the brocade, but sending charcoal in the snow will make people more grateful."

"Don't be impatient; you must be patient. The greater the influence Lord Wenguan has with the Zhou Emperor, the less the 27th Imperial Prince can become Emperor."

"Whether it's the Xiao family or the 27th Imperial Prince, they will definitely try everything to get rid of Lord Wenguan."

"I was worried before that the 27th Imperial Prince would become Emperor, but now I don't have to worry; he basically has no chance. The Xiao family is really unlucky to have formed a deadly feud with Lord Wenguan, the man of prophecy."

"Perhaps we don't even need to take action; the Xiao family might decline rapidly."

Shen Qiheng shook his head: "But the Xiao family has three Semi-Sages; I'm afraid they won't fall in a short time. I'm actually a bit worried that Lord Wenguan will be played to death by them."

Shen Kangbo nodded:

"That is also possible, but the probability is very small. With me here, this probability is even smaller, not to mention there is also the legendary figure Xu Han Yi; he will certainly not leave his disciple unattended, let alone when this disciple's performance is so outstanding." ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
