After Ji Changze's operation (instructing others to do things while watching), Weeping Willow is now able to receive foreign tourists very well. Various tourist attractions are well prepared, and huts specially designed for tourists have been built in rows.
Master Zheng, who went to the capital to engage in Yuanhua pancreas business, came back with a message. As expected, many people in the capital were interested in Yuanhua, and most of them were literati.
This is also normal. Although women prefer to use Yuanhua Pan, the clearly visible Yuanhua petals in Yuanhua Pan are still more popular among literati. Of course, the comments arranged by Ji Changze are also indispensable.
Yuanhua is beautiful and has its own fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when smelling it. Anyone who has used Yuanhuayi knows this. As long as you gently rub Yuanhuayi in the palm of your hand, the fragrance can stay for a day or even longer.
Even a single petal can have such an effect. If it were a real Yuanhua, wouldn't it be even more exciting
Naturally, they don't know that the petals are only for viewing. The reason why Yuanhuapan is so fragrant is because Ji Changze destroyed the flowers with his own hands and used who knows how many petals to extract the fragrance.
In short, under Ji Changze's misleading, Yuanhua gradually became the new song of praise in the capital.
It grows well, has a good fragrance, and is quite loyal (except for weeping willows, it cannot grow anywhere else).
Ji Changze didn't think it was enough, so he made a draft and asked Wuxian Cheng, who was already bald and losing his hair, to write a legend of the weeping willow.
It tells the story of a woman, nicknamed Yuan'er, who was engaged to her fiancé since she was a child. The two were childhood sweethearts and had a deep love for each other. They promised each other a lifetime. Her fiancé went to Beijing to take the exam. Yuan'er made an agreement with him to wait for him when he comes back, but he was robbed on the way. Killed by bandits, Yuan'er didn't wait for him to return, and refused to believe that he had betrayed his trust and abandoned her. She always waited impatiently, supporting his parents and taking care of his younger siblings. When his younger siblings grew up and his parents died, she Standing at the spot agreed upon with her fiancé, she looked towards the capital.
Yuan'er is getting older. She doesn't want her fiancé to come back and see her haggard face. God appreciates her infatuation and turns her into a tree. Every year, during the month of scientific examination, the tree will bloom. She was just waiting for the return of her sweetheart, but when she found out that she couldn't come back, she was so sad that the flowers fell into pieces. Within a month, the petals fell all over the ground.
Later, my fiancé's brother went to Beijing to take the exam and found his brother's body on the way. He brought it back to Beijing and buried it under the tree transformed by Yuan'er. However, Yuan'er could no longer hear the news of her fiancé's return. She was still like that. When the month of scientific research arrives, the flowers will bloom to greet their fiancé with their most beautiful moments. Once the month is over, the lost petals will wither.
Later, the villagers felt deeply for Yuan'er and named the tree Yuan Shu, asking for the seeds to be scattered everywhere. However, these Yuan trees refused to take root in places other than the weeping willows, and only wanted to stay in the weeping willows, waiting for their fiancé. go home.
Little did she know that her fiancé had been buried under the tree, and grasses grew out of him, guarding her tenderly.
What a touching love legend. Although it was made up by Ji Changze and he couldn't help but ponder it carefully, it is very in line with the current fashion.
Ji Changze knew that Weeping Liu had never had this legend before, but it didn't matter, from this moment on, it was Weeping Liu's love story passed down from generation to generation.
And although the story is false, there is still a lot of truth in the content.
The flowering time of the Yuan tree is indeed the month of the scientific expedition. The weeping willow has special geology. The Yuan tree that can grow well here will indeed wither if moved to another place. Moreover, the Yuan tree has accompanying grass. This kind of small Grass grows on the Yuan tree. Wherever there is a Yuan tree, there is this kind of grass.
True phenomena mixed with false stories are enough to make this "legend" real.
Wuxian Cheng, who witnessed the county magistrate making up an outline on the spot and forcing himself to write such a lingering, pathos and touching love story: "..."
He also thought the story was quite good. If he hadn't known before that there was no such legend about Weeping Willow, he might have believed it, but the problem was...
"Sir, this has never happened to Weeping Willow before. If we do this, no one will believe it."
In fact, Wu County Prime Minister wanted to say whether this was too false. It was something that no one mentioned in the past decades. Now, whenever a scholar from the capital comes to weep the willow, the legend of Yuan Shu suddenly pops up.
Ji Changze waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, just write it."
Believe it or not, it’s a legend.
Let’s just say that the scene where Yuan’er turns into a tree is touching in the legend. But if it were now said that a person turned into a tree, do you think the people would be afraid and quickly chop them down and burn them? , shouting monster with a frightened face.
The magistrate of Wuxian County went to work overtime bitterly, but in the bottom of his heart he still felt that the magistrate, who was so scheming and had tricked many people, was about to fall over.
Legends can only be trusted if they are passed down from generation to generation. There is no saying that one was created by creation.
Hey, but that's right, even if Master Ji has superb methods, he is just a young man in the end. No matter how deep he is, how deep can he be
Although he was complaining in his heart, Wuxian Cheng had no guts to obey what his boss told him, so he could only work overtime to create this "legend".
Ji Changze got the manuscript, arranged for a few storytellers, gave them some instructions, and then let them go.
On the third day, Wuxian Cheng was captured as a young man and accompanied the magistrate to inspect the large and small shopping streets.
When I went to the big shopping street, there was nothing. When I went to the small shopping street, the Wuxian Prime Minister's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Most of the people selling goods on the small shopping street are ordinary small traders or ordinary people who sell vegetables. This place has been strictly managed since it was developed by the county government. Although everything is sold on the ground, it is not dirty. Damn, after this place was built, the Wuxian Cheng family also liked coming here to buy food. He had been here a few times, so he naturally knew what was sold here.
But look at now.
"Huan Chaos, you sell Huan Chaos. My family has been selling Chaos from generation to generation. When Miss Yuan'er ate it at my house, she said it was delicious."
Wuxian Cheng: “…”
Shit, he comes to eat Chaos at this restaurant every day. Didn’t the old man who sells Chaos say before that he learned the art of making Chaos from the county next door
"Good jewelry, girl, let's take a look at the jewelry. Look at how beautiful this bracelet is. This is Miss Yuan'er's favorite style."
Wu Xiancheng looked at the table the stall owner was holding, and his eyebrows skipped a beat. He had just bought this bracelet the day before yesterday. Didn't the stall owner say it was a new style
Looking at the other side, the umbrella seller said that the umbrella was engraved with Yuan flowers, which symbolized loyal love. The sachet seller said that the embroidery on the sachet was originally embroidered by Yuan'er for her fiancé. There is another person over there. Selling a ring passed down by his grandfather and belonging to Miss Yuan'er.
Wuxian Cheng: “…”
He hasn't been here for only three days. Have these people been brainwashed
Wuxian Cheng turned his head and looked at Ji Changze, who smiled at him: "It seems that Miss Yuan'er has left a lot of footprints in our Chuiliu County."
Wuxian Cheng: “…”
He always felt as if Master Ji was laughing at him.
He coughed dryly: "These are all arranged by adults? But isn't it bad for someone who deceived us like this?"
If it was revealed that they were fake legends, they would definitely be ridiculed.
Ji Changze made an invitation to him: "You can try it and see if they will admit that these are all fake."
Wuxian Cheng went there dubiously.
He walked up to the stall owner selling rings, picked up the ring and looked at it. Seeing him like this, the stall owner thought he wanted to buy it, so he immediately smiled on his face: "Master, this ring was worn by Miss Yuan'er." The one I passed was the infatuated woman who waited for Liu Lang to transform into Yuanshu. This is a good thing, you really know your stuff."
Wuxian Cheng: "You look very ordinary."
"Miss Yuan'er's family is not well off. Only ordinary means this is her ring. I'm afraid you don't know that in order to support Liu Lang's family, Miss Yuan'er pawned the hairpin that Liu Lang gave her. How can she still have money to buy good jewelry, don’t you think?”
Wuxian Cheng: “…”
This statement indeed makes sense and is very logical.
If he hadn't written the plot of "Yuan Niang Selling the Gold Hairpin in Tears", he would have really believed it.
Ji Changze stood there with his arms folded, watching as Wuxian Cheng struggled for a long time before questioning the authenticity of "Miss Yuan'er", and then was pushed back angrily by the stall owner.
"What do you mean Miss Yuan'er doesn't exist! My grandfather's grandfather saw her with his own eyes. My grandfather told me personally that Miss Yuan'er is really stunning, gentle and kind. My grandfather's grandfather also got this ring. The food was exchanged for her."
"Are you going to buy something? If you don't, move away quickly. Don't block me from selling things."
Wuxian Cheng came back with a confused look on his face.
Ji Changze wanted to laugh, but he held it back and raised his eyebrows at his unlucky county magistrate: "How?"
The unlucky county magistrate was still confused: "...how could it be possible? This Yuan'er is clearly a fictional person created by the adults. Why do they swear so confidently?"
That's naturally because you make money selling peripherals.
Just borrowing a name can turn an ordinary thing into a good thing with its own reputation. Moreover, this kind of myth and legend seems to be from a long time ago, and the person involved is unlikely to come out to ask them for the right to the image. Such a good thing , who would be willing not to do it.
Ji Changze only needs to arrange a few people to spread this story in the early stage. Later, there will naturally be people with the name "Miss Yuan'er once xxx" to maintain the authenticity of this myth.
He patted Wuxian Cheng on the shoulder, who was obviously the original author but was criticized by derivative fans as "you know shit": "Now it's really okay. Let's go, let's go back and have a good rest for a few days."
The first batch of tourists in the capital have already embarked on their journey.
Among a group of literati who wanted to see the legendary Yuanhua falling all over the ground, there was a young man who was not very interested in poetry.
It is Wei Juncan's younger brother Wei Junli. He is not very old, he is only sixteen this year, but he is already old enough to get married in Anguo. This time Ji Changze, the son-in-law, sent someone to give a gift, and the Wei family naturally wanted to return the gift. Wei Junli So he volunteered to go to Weeping Willow to give gifts.
On the one hand, I missed my sister and wanted to see it with my own eyes. On the other hand, I heard about the beauty of Yuanhua and was eager to see it in person.
Naturally, the reason given to his parents was that he was about to take the scientific examination, and now he only had the reputation of being a scholar. His brother-in-law was a serious scholar who had passed the examination, so he might as well ask his brother-in-law to give him some advice.
Although the Wei family couple knew that he was just making excuses, they also missed their daughter. Since they couldn't see her in person, it would be good to let their son go and see her instead, so they agreed.
Wei Junli was a cheerful man. Seeing that this group of literati were going to Weeping Willow to see Yuanhua, he went with them. They were all about the same age. They laughed and chatted with them along the way, which was very pleasant.
He didn't deliberately say that he was the brother-in-law of the magistrate of Chuiliu County. Most of these literati just went to Yuanhua and didn't ask much about it. The group of people quickly became brothers.
When he first knew that his brother-in-law was going to take his sister to Chuiliu to take office, Wei Junli also checked the county records of Chuiliu, so he knew the style of Chuiliu very well and knew that this was a really poor place.
When they were about to arrive, they saw that it was raining. Wei Junli reminded them in a friendly way: "I heard that it rains a lot in Weeping Willow Linhai, so there is a lot of mud on the ground. You can ask your servants to find an inn first, so that the dirty boots will not be difficult to clean and replace."
If you go out to play, you will definitely not be able to bring too much with you.
Everyone else thanked him for the reminder and said, "Brother Wei is so considerate that he understands the scene of the weeping willow so well."
Wei Junli was a little arrogant in his heart, but he waved his hands quite humbly: "It's nothing, it's just that I have relatives here at home, so I care a little more about Weeping Willow."
It was his first time to show off like this on a long trip, and his words were a little light-hearted.
"We are all here together. If you have any difficulties in Weeping Willow in the future, just come and find Mr. Wei. Although Mr. Wei is not as talented as you in literary talent, he must know something about Weeping Willow."
Hey hey hey, pretending to be cool and cool, it feels so comfortable.
Wei Junli, who had previously been restricted by his family and could only study honestly, showed off for a rare moment and felt comfortable all over. After speaking, he did not put down the curtain and sit back, but continued to look outside.
The carriage entered the city with Weeping Willow written on it, and then walked smoothly on the cement road.
Drainage holes have been built underneath, and the rainwater on the road flows underground. The road is clean and only slightly wet. Pedestrians walking on top of it don't even get the slightest bit wet on their shoes holding umbrellas.
The coachman stopped the carriage and asked everyone in the car: "Would you like to come down and take a walk? The scenery is the best on a rainy day with weeping willows."
Behind him were pedestrians walking leisurely on the concrete road in the misty rain, holding bamboo umbrellas.
A gentleman asked what this road was about, and the driver smiled and replied that it was built by the newly appointed magistrate. In the past, everyone would hide at home when it rained, but now that the road is repaired, it does not prevent everyone from coming out in rainy days.
Although no one is looking at him, Wei Junli always feels that all eyes are on him: "..."
Brother-in-law, you didn’t say that in addition to being a Yuanhua pancake, you also built roads.
