“Yes, yes, everyone, sing with me…” Chen Luo looked at the children in the courtyard and sang, “La la la, la la la, I am a little pro of selling newspapers…”

　　”La la la, la la la, I’m a little pro of newspaper sales…” The children were very happy when they heard that they didn’t have to leave the Imperial Villa, and sang obediently to Chen Luo’s tone. Although this song sounded a bit strange, it makes them very happy to sing it.

　　Speaking of which, when Chen Luo was teaching in the mountains in his previous life, he was responsible for music and sports.

　　There was no other way, the college students who went to teach with him were all from famous universities. He was an art college student, so he had to do some work that was related to his major.

　　Within a cup of tea’s time, Chen Luo finished teaching the newspaper selling song.

　　”Let’s group up the children.” Chen Luo took the tea handed by Lu Tong and said, “A group of two for children the age of nine, a group of five for seven and eight years old, they will be responsible for going to the city to sell my newspapers. Each group will get one or two silver coins per month. Those under the age of seven can stay in the village and accompany you to do some farm work.”

　　Lu Tong was overjoyed, and wanted to kneel down to thank him again, but was stopped by Chen Luo.

　　Chen Luo glanced at the dirty children again, reminding him of the students in the mountains, his heart was sour, he reached out to pick up a pen and ink, and drew the pattern of a set of clothes on the paper, using the appearance of the students’ clothes in the Republic of China, and coupled it with a large crossbody pocket, and handed it to Lu Tong.

　　”According to this style, revise it into winter and summer clothes, and give each child a set. In addition, buy some daily clothes. You know children, it’s better to be clean, it’s the face of my Earl’s House! These ragged clothes… are you kidding me? You can get the money from the village first and keep a record.”

　　Lu Tong held the blueprint with tears in his eyes: “Earl, this…”

　　”Don’t kneel, that’s all. Besides, it’s not good for newsboys who can’t read. Go and invite a few Confucian scholars. He doesn’t need to be very good, just enough to be able to teach them to read. I’ll let you decide on the expense, and also get it from the villa treasury.”

　　Lu Tong looked at Chen Luo, and after a while, he said while choking and sobbing: “The Earl is kind, these children will remember the Earl’s grace for the rest of their lives.”

　　Chen Luo smiled lightly and did not speak. He is not a bad person. He went to teach in his previous life to help the children there to change their lives. Now he can easily turn the lives of these children in a good direction, why not do it?

　　The value of a person is always reflected in others.

　　…

　　Beifeng Building.

　　”Mr. Nan, don’t stammer. What exactly is Lord of Wan An’s request, you say…”

　　Nan Yuanxi paused for a long time this time. Those narrators’ ears were sore, and only then did one gentleman complain.

　　Nan Yuan laughed shyly: “Get used to, get used to. Earl has only one request, that is, after you get the manuscript, you can’t finish it all at once!”

　　”What’s wrong with this?” Sang Luo asked.

　　Nan Yuanxi replied: “Earl’s meaning is that we come up with a charter to divide an Earl’s article into six parts uniformly and narrate one part every day. On the issue date, the first part, and so on. By the end of the sixth part, it is just in time for the next issue of the new newspaper.”

　　”It’s impossible that the guests would not be addicted and directly just buy the new newspaper instead?” said a narrator.

　　Nan Yuanxi glared at him angrily: “Earl’s original intention is to sell new newspapers, is it coaxing you to narrate and make the Earl’s new newspapers not able to sell?”

　　After that was said, the narrator who raised the question blushed when he heard the words, and quickly closed his mouth.

　　Nan Yuanxi continued: “Don’t worry, everyone. Earl’s price for the new newspaper is initially a fifth of a silver for a copy, which is equivalent to five hundred yuan in copper coins. Not everyone will be able to afford it.”

　　”Furthermore, the articles were all written in Yawen, how can ordinary people understand them? Wouldn’t they rely on us to narrate for them?”

　　”Finally, Earl said, I hope we can tell the story more vividly. Earl said this is called storytelling! Besides, you see…”

　　Nan Yuanxi took out a square wooden block from his arms, which was about the size of a palm, made of ebony.

　　”What is this?” Sang Luo squinted, “It looks like a gavel used by the chief of the yamen.”

　　”Gong Sang is really knowledgeable. This thing, Earl called it Awakening Wood, every opening, turning point, and finale, we should use this wood to wake up everyone. Everyone, please listen…”

　　With that said, Nan Yuanxi slapped the Awakening Wood towards the table, and a crisp voice echoed throughout the Beifeng Building. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

　　”Wonderful! It’s wonderful!” Sang Luo’s eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and took the awakening wood from Nan Yuanxi’s focus, really wonderful.”

　　Nan Yuanxi smiled and said, “Earl has another suggestion…”

　　”What is it?” Sang Luo asked quickly.

　　”Earl said, it’s best to use it every time you finish speaking the part of the story for the day, and say, ‘What will happen next? Stay tuned for the next part!”

　　Every narrator was stunned for a moment, and then they understood it, and couldn’t help laughing——

　　”Earl is really talented! Hahahaha…”

　　…

　　”Next is to just wait for the news from Nan Yuanxi.” In the carriage, Chen Luo stretched. According to the plan, as long as Nan Yuanxi has sorted out the editorial section, and the academy has its own printing workshop, it can start printing, and then the students will transcribe “Laughing in the Wind”, and the new newspaper will be completed.

　　The next step is to hand it over to his own newsboy team and sell newspapers all over the street!

　　Then Daizong can also be resurrected.

　　Then he’ll be lying at home, waiting for money… No, waiting for the red dust to gather again, and then he can start the second realm of the red dust realm – the cultivation of the Qi realm.

　　According to the information on Path to the Heavens’ Road, when he reaches the Qi-nourishing realm, he can release the red dust to injure the enemy.

　　Boxing style? Sword Qi? Knife Gang?

　　Chen Luo felt very excited when he thought about it, he glanced at Ji Zhong who was sitting beside him, um, I’ll have a competition with him then.

　　”However, it’s time to think about bringing Chen Xuan over…” Chen Luo thought about it, the past two days have been events one after another, and now that it’s more refreshing, it’s time to put this on the agenda.

　　Thinking of Chen Xuan, Chen Luo thought of her eyes again.

　　”Bone Pill!”

　　Chen Luo lifted the curtain of the car and said to the groom who was driving the car, “Turn around and go to the Thousand Treasure Tower.”

　　…

　　Wan’an County.

　　”Miss, Miss…” Xiaohuan rushed into Chen Xuan’s room like a gust of wind and took a breath: “Uncle Ping said that the land outside the city has been arranged, and the shops in the county are also rented out. We only have to wait for the young master to arrange his side in the capital, and we can set off.”

　　Chen Xuan smiled and pushed the tea in her hand forward: “Speak slowly, don’t be in a hurry.”

　　”Well.” Xiaohuan took the tea and took a sip, “There is also new news about the young master from the Caizhi County…”

　　”What news?” Chen Xuan became anxious instantly, “Stop drinking, tell me first.”

　　Xiaohuan pouted, put down the cup, and then said, “Cai Zhixian said that the young master has become a disciple to a half-sage master. But when Cai Zhixian said it, his tone was so strange, and he muttered something like Little Senior Uncle…”

　　”By the way, Cai Zhixian also said that the young master seems to have written an article that made everyone in the academy get a breakthrough. But I heard that what he wrote was about a woman from a brothel. Miss, you must take good care of the young master after you go to the capital. I heard Cui’er from Liu’s mansion say that their young master goes to the brothel every day and wants to do that to her…it scared her to death!”

　　”It’s too much to say again.” Chen Xuan snorted softly, “Can the prodigal son of the Liu family be compared with our Little Luo? How can a scholar get a breakthrough from an article about brothels? I think he wrote a good article.”

　　”But Miss, in case…”

　　”Okay, okay, go do your work, let me be quiet for a while.”

　　”Miss, why do you always want to be quiet recently? You don’t talk to me anymore.”

　　Xiaohuan pouted and ran out.

　　”Sigh…” Chen Xuan sighed, “I want some quiet time alone, I don’t even know how to face Little Luo.”

　　Chen Xuan fiddled with the bead hairpin in her hand with one hand, thinking about it, and suddenly became annoyed: “He even knows how to write about brothels now… It’s time to discipline him a bit. Young, he is even an Earl, and he is in a prosperous city as Zhongjing. What if he gets exploited?”

　　”I’ll have to go to the capital!”

　　Chen Xuan put down the pearl hairpin in her hand because she lost her vision, her spirit seemed to be clearer.

　　These days, some memories that had been forgotten for some reason reappeared in her mind.

　　Among them, there is a memory from eighteen years ago.

　　Dad, whose face was blurred in memory, put a baby in the swaddling clothes in front of her.

　　”Xuan’er, look at this baby, do you want him to be your husband or your brother?”

　　The delicate-faced little girl glanced at the swaddled child, and said in disgust, “What is a husband? He is so young, he must be his younger brother.”

Hearing this sentence, the child burst into tears.

…

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered the image of Chen Luo breaking into her room while she was taking a shower, and her face couldn’t help turning red.

“After so many years, why can’t I remember this matter?”

“Why did that little man suddenly grow so big?”

“Since I’ve been a sister for nineteen years, let’s continue to be one…” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
