Chapter 254 New Chapter Arranged as Southern Opera
Chapter 254 New Chapter Arranged as Southern Opera
The new script is still quite difficult, but Ye Yuwu thinks that this troupe leader is exceptionally capable. With his editing and polishing, he should be able to arrange it into a play suitable for Lianren to sing.
The troupe leader held Ye Yuwu's manuscript and stared intently at it after reading a few pages.
"This is so novel! I have never seen such a wonderful story in all my years of life."
"It is a bit ahead of its time. When the time comes, not only Bianjing, but also the bookstores I opened in Chizhou and the border will start selling the new storybooks."
The troupe leader nodded repeatedly, "Manager Ye, this book will surely cause a great uproar. It's a pity that I still don't know the identity of this Wuming, otherwise I would definitely ask for his seal!"
Ye Yuwu blinked and continued to ask him, "Is this book feasible?"
"It's certainly feasible, it's just a pity that only a portion of it is available, but it's enough."
After finishing speaking, the troupe leader went back to compile the manuscript. As soon as he got up, Ye Yuwu noticed that the money bag on the table was still there. This was the reward she had given the troupe leader for doing something for her before she came.
"Master! I forgot to take the money bag!" Ye Yuwu picked up the money bag and caught up with him.
The troupe leader chuckled and said, "Manager Ye, you've already given me the scripts to compile into a Southern opera, so why should I accept your money?"
Ye Yuwu didn't say anything more, but accepted the money bag, because she knew that only by accepting the money bag could they have a business relationship, and sometimes interests can bind people's hearts.
The Southern Drama was quickly adapted, and it was still called "Peerless Divine Doctor: The Useless Young Lady Changes Her Fate Against Heaven".
To be honest, when the class teacher called out this name, Ye Yuwu actually felt a sense of shame.
Their previous Southern operas all had very elegant and tasteful titles, but hers became such a straightforward and shameful title, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
But after a while, she got used to the awkwardness.
After the new opera was performed, the troupe leader immediately invited Ye Yuwu to watch it. Ye Yuwu then invited Huaping, the Minister of Agriculture, and other officials. Of course, Su Wangyan and the other two also came to watch the opera.
The opera troupe was a little nervous when they learned that these adults were coming, but since they had performed for the empresses in the palace before, they calmed down after a while.
The Southern Opera was unexpectedly wonderful.
Since the new version of the story had not yet been published, none of the audience members had ever seen such a novel story before. When the Southern Opera came to an abrupt end, they remained immersed in the performance for a long time.
After the song ended, Bai Zunyue and Xiao Yulan couldn't help but turn to look at her. Among them, they were probably the only ones who knew Ye Yuwu's other identity.
They were all shocked when they learned that the scripts for Southern Opera were based on her unpublished stories.
Ye Yuwu is getting more and more imaginative; how could she have come up with such bizarre and outlandish ideas?
The protagonist actually came from the future, and she even possesses a spiritual spring and a spatial dimension.
This is truly unheard of.
Ye Yuwu had no idea how profound the impact of this Southern Opera was on them! Even after they returned to their residences, the story of the opera lingered in their minds as soon as they closed their eyes!
It's so captivating that you can't stop watching.
In the middle of the night, the Minister of Agriculture opened his eyes, his eyes filled with dark circles. He sat up abruptly from the bed.
"No! This opera must contain some kind of poison!"
The next day, the Minister of Agriculture, sporting dark circles under his eyes, searched everywhere for Ye Yuwu.
After much difficulty, they finally found her in the bookstore, where the Minister of Agriculture, a grown man, kept circling around her.
Ye Yuwu could no longer bear it. She put down the account book in her hand and looked at the Minister of Agriculture with a helpless expression.
"My lord! What exactly do you want to do?" The Minister of Agriculture was usually obsessed with farming and determined to solve the problems that farmers encountered in agricultural work, so he would go to the fields before dawn every day to farm with the farmers.
For the first time ever, I came to the bookstore early this morning to look for Ye Yuwu.
"Is there a sequel to yesterday's opera?"
"You mean 'Peerless Divine Doctor: The Useless Young Lady's Fate Changes Against All Odds'?"
The Minister of Agriculture nodded with delight.
"No!" Ye Yuwu said coldly.
The faces of the four ministers of agriculture instantly fell, looking utterly hopeless, but then they seemed to remember something and put on a fawning smile.
"I've heard you have a very good relationship with Wuming. Could you help me get a sequel? The price is negotiable!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuwu immediately turned to stare at the Minister of Agriculture in front of her, "You are an official, how can you read such low-class novels?"
Ye Yuwu returned his words verbatim, words that a certain official had uttered with disdain when she invited the Minister of Agriculture to watch a play yesterday.
The Minister of Agriculture smiled and didn't seem to think that Ye Yuwu, this junior, was trying to provoke or mock him.
"Hey, Yuwu! I never said anything like that!"
Ye Yuwu rolled her eyes at him, "Even so, there's no sequel!"
"Why?!"
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because they haven't written it yet!" Ye Yuwu looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot.
"Then what will it take for him to write?"
That's a good question; she herself wants to know when she'll have time to write.
"Just wait and see!" Ye Yuwu said before leaving.
The Minister of Agriculture was left behind, frozen in a state of rage and incompetence!
"Damn it! Why did I have to see an unfinished story?! This is trying to kill me!"
Passersby looked at the Minister of Agriculture shouting at the door as if he were a fool.
The day the opera troupe left happened to be the first snowfall of the year. Ye Yuwu braved the heavy snow to see the troupe off as they left the border.
But it was during this period that the Turks suddenly attacked. Even though Su Wangyan was prepared, he was still caught off guard.
They seemed to know that the border had taken over the two small neighboring countries, and not only were various parts of Youzhou being invaded, but even Mizhou was being robbed of its grain from time to time.
Su Wangyan sent troops to drive them away, which inevitably led to another fight.
However, it wasn't just the Turkic steppes that were covered in snow; the border regions were also hit by heavy snow.
Therefore, the war between the two sides is much more difficult.
Bai Zunyue and Xiao Yulan were supposed to go to Bianjing to report on their duties long ago, but for some reason they have not left yet and have stayed until now.
Seeing Su Wangyan in a state of panic, they didn't hesitate. Both of them were military officers and had fought in battles, so they naturally took up their swords and went to the border to fight the Turks, determined to drive them out of the border.
However, with heavy snowfall, it was difficult to supply food to the front lines.
Starting a fire was difficult, so they could only eat dry rations, but the rations were all hard and dry.
Both sides were starving and facing the cold, but the Turks were skilled with horses, and their cavalry left nothing but desolation wherever they went.
They were tall and strong, and had already adapted to the harsh weather, but half of the soldiers on the border were new recruits transferred from other places, and they were not used to such cold weather.
The soldiers at the border were subtly losing ground.
Just as the cavalry were secretly pleased with themselves, the border soldiers suddenly rose up in a counterattack, completely unlike their previous weak and timid demeanor, as if they had become different people.
They defeated them and drove them out of the border region.
Later, the Turks heard that the soldiers on the border had suddenly become stronger by eating something called "instant noodles"!
