Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 517 Her face is the signboard of Baixiang Pavilion

Afterwards, Li Wenchong knew that he was almost not insane.

"Which old lady or madam is this with such a good eye?"

Gu Qingling gave him a blank look: "He was just joking, and wanted to find out about my secret recipe for skin care. Do you think he really praised us as a good match?"

"So what, as long as there is one person who dares to speak out, after a long time, more people will speak up, and when things about the two of us break out again, they won't be surprised and get used to it?" Li Wenchong didn't take it seriously, Said, "Let me tell you, in the future we will go out a few more times when we have nothing to do, go shopping, listen to operas, and pick up the children together..."

Gu Qingling held his forehead: "How do you say that the wind is the rain?"

"How can it be said that the wind is the rain? Do you know how anxious I am to marry you? If it weren't for the fear that your son and daughter-in-law would react too much, I can't wait to get married next year."

Ever since he broke the news, which day has Li Wenchong not been active?Gu Qingling said: ... There is really no rush for this matter!
Not only do they need to be mentally prepared, but she does too.

But obviously, someone didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he took her to the People's Theater the next day, and took her to listen to the play all morning.

The People's Theater was built by Gu Qingling, and the troupe in it was also retrained by her. It is not so much a singing opera as a stage play.

Present all kinds of gossip novels in the form of stage plays, with talks and songs, rich plots, and more impactful performances. Not only the ladies and wives of the major families in Jinling love to listen to it, but also ordinary people with good families.

So ah, almost every show is sold out.

When the new play came out, because the ticket price became more and more expensive, it was basically the wives and ladies of the big families who came to see it. Later, there were many plays, and it became an "old play". The ticket price gradually dropped, and it became a street play. Big love for the old man's surname.

A play can be performed many times, and people from different walks of life can watch it together.

Coupled with the reports of Jinling newspapers, all kinds of comments and citations, it is difficult to think that it will not be popular.

"Oh, that white lady last time was really good-looking! That white lady's appearance is really too beautiful, it's just the way I thought it would be."

"Isn't it? If I don't watch a show every month now, I always feel that something is missing."

"Hahahaha... You can't stop watching it. If you don't watch it, you won't know what to talk about with your co-workers in the future."

……

There are many scenes in "Biography of the White Snake", from when she and Xiaoqing went out to repay the favor, met Xu Xian by chance, then they lived by the Qiantang River, opened a shop to save people, and then the mage was arrested for "killing the demon". Turning point, the people in Jinling City can't stop, they can't wait to finish watching it in one day.

But how is this possible?
Before the drama came out, the novel of "Biography of the White Snake" had already been published. Everyone knows that this novel is very long.

After the adaptation, even if it becomes shorter, it cannot become too short.

Gu Qingling and Li Wenchong were in the box upstairs, the protruding balcony faced the stage, and two sofa chairs were placed side by side.If you don't want to be seen, you can also draw the white curtains, or wear the mask provided by the theater.

There are several types of masks, those that cover the entire face and those that only cover the eyes.

But generally, it's just for fun, rarely because it can't be shown to others.

Because this is not the first time, Li Wenchong took a newspaper from the newspaper shelf next to him very consciously while waiting for the break in the play.

The newspaper industry in Jinling is very developed. In addition to various serious information newspapers, there are also entertainment gossip newspapers that comment on various gossip.This newspaper will not only publish the original version of the drama adapted by the People's Theater, which dramas will be shown in the latest show, but also the opinions of major "critics" on the plays of each issue.

Just a "swearing war" does not know how many scholars have been supported.

The more exciting you write, the more you can cause others to argue with you, the easier it is for your writing to be published in newspapers, and the more royalties you get.

So, some scholars who have tasted the sweetness find that they have not been able to pass the imperial examination, so they come directly to write "reviews" and become "critics".

Among them, "Mr. Yayan" accused "Biography of the White Snake" of disregarding ethics and mixing a goblin and a human being together because of the more rigorous style of writing, which is simply insulting.

There is also a long and huge essay in the back, citing arguments to prove the correctness of the sentence "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different".

Originally, what he said was nothing, everyone just read it. At most, he was praised for his profound knowledge, and he was able to speak so many truths. Outside the family, the most common people are ordinary people who have just learned a few words and haven't read much -- but another "Merry Man" appeared to quarrel with him, saying that he was too much, and he didn't believe in the sacred love.

Thus, the holy scolding war began.

Both were on fire.

Many people bought newspapers to watch the excitement, just to see who is the final winner.

The more the two talked, the more they went too far, so angry that a group of spectators went into the water one after another, the scolding battle expanded, and the number of people joining various comrades in arms increased.Even an ordinary citizen can write a few words and throw them in the entertainment gossip newspaper.

The reason why the scolding war was detonated and gradually expanded into this way, I have to thank Gu Qingling for promoting the "Common Word X Project" in the early years.

The "Common Characters X Project" was very successful. In a few years, many people in Jinling learned a lot of characters. Although they couldn't read all the books, the graded books published by Yao's Bookstore gave them a lot of confidence. .

— It seems that reading is not that difficult, right?You see, I can read this XX series.

——It’s not difficult at all, the main reason is that there are too many uncommon characters, and we don’t use them very much at ordinary times, and we don’t have an imperial examination, so who would learn so many characters?
——That is, if all the books in the world were published in a simpler way like Yao's Bookstore, then I would be able to understand them all.

……

So, the entertainment gossip newspaper does not have high requirements for writing style, and it puts more emphasis on "commonly used words" and "interestingness".Even ordinary people can understand it and participate in it, isn't it easy to become popular?
The entertainment gossip newspaper also likes to add pictures, all kinds of illustrations, rich imagination and bold style of painting.

Some people even read entertainment gossip newspapers just to see the beauties in the newspapers.

Gu Qingling: "..."

So, is this the reason why her entertainment gossip newspaper is particularly fond of raising painters?
This reminded Gu Qingling of the modern "collecting card game".

Who didn't collect cards in childhood?

Ultraman cards, Pokemon, Twelve Flower Fairies... Gold cards, silver cards, commemorative cards, all kinds of beautiful cards.

If you can’t eat or drink this thing, and it’s impossible to look it up every day, why are there so many people collecting it?
Gu Qingling said that it is probably the "collection addiction" engraved in human genes.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Qingling launched various series of commemorative cards, posters and other items, opening a new door for his newspapers, magazines, and books.

——Oh~ So it can still be like this!

From the serious literacy card of "Jinling Weekly", to the general knowledge card of "Jinling Agricultural Science Early Knowing", to the beauty card of entertainment and gossip... In short, there are only cards that you can't think of, and there are also things that they can't make. "Card".

Li Wenchong flipped through the newspaper and dropped out a beautiful beauty card. He picked it up and said, "Oh, isn't this the White Lady? Your newspaper office is quite up-to-date. The White Lady has just become popular, and immediately launched the White Lady collection." Card series, this is good, there must be more people robbing newspapers..."

Even he himself has collected several series.

Couldn't it be that Li Wenchong is interested in these things? Isn't it because there are too many royal relatives, and he wants to pick some "money-saving and creative" gifts?
This "collection card series" by Gu Qingling is very lively in Jinling, how could Li Wenchong miss it?
