Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 823 Absolutely No Similarities

Chu Muyao is now most interested in the stories written by Song Ruozhen.

Compared to these stories, the ones I've heard before seem rather uninteresting.

"This story is really interesting. Although the kids will definitely love it the most, I like it too!"

"Most of the people who listen to storytelling on weekdays are young masters and ladies. Although many people bring their children, the stories are ones they can't understand."

Now that we have Journey to the West, I'm sure children will love it, and I think adults will like it too, right?

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "If the kids like it, business will definitely be good."

"why?"

"Because children can't come alone; they usually come with their parents. Once it becomes popular among children, everyone wants to hear the story and pesters their parents to bring them along. So, do you think... these adults will come?"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows, just like how animated films always have high attendance rates when watching movies.

The appeal of Journey to the West is undeniable.

Chu Muyao looked shocked. "No wonder they said you're good at business!"

"Fifth sister, what's wrong with your brain?"

Song Jingshen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He found it somewhat strange that such words were meant for children.

Why would my fifth sister suddenly write such a storybook? But now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense!

"Give it a try; this story is suitable for both young and old."

Song Ruozhen didn't disturb their time together and returned to the Song residence on her own, buying a lot of pastries along the way.

"Mother, I'm back."

Gu Ruyan was overjoyed to see her daughter return.

"You're finally back. I was thinking that if you hadn't come back, I would have gone to the Chu Prince's mansion to see you."

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Mother, didn't I just come back a few days ago?"

"Alas, Mother just wants to see you. Although I know you are doing well in the Chu Prince's mansion, I still want to see you."

Not to mention your dad, he always asks why you never come back to visit.

"He went fishing early this morning, saying he wanted to take two fish to you so that you and the Prince could both have a taste."

Song Ruozhen felt a warmth in her heart. "General Bai should be better by now, right?"

"I'm completely healed. I was able to get out of bed yesterday."

Gu Ruyan nodded. Seeing that Song Ruozhen had bought so many things and had a small box next to her, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you prepare for your third brother? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Mother, now that my third brother has finally found someone he loves, shouldn't I put in extra effort to help him?"

"These are some gifts I've carefully selected, perfect for giving to girls."

The ordinary items on the street lack novelty; to give a gift, you have to give something that no one else has, to make it special.

Gu Ruyan's eyes filled with surprise and delight. "You're such a thoughtful girl. It's a blessing that you could think of these things for your third brother!"

"Mother, will Third Brother be back later?"

“He comes back every day. I’m actually hoping he can go out more often.”

Gu Ruyan looked helpless. This child has grown up, but he is still so honest and comes back as soon as he finishes his work.

Even now that he has more colleagues, they only drink together occasionally. He's big and burly, but surprisingly obedient.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh. When she was a child, her elders always told her to be obedient. Her third brother was the most obedient. Now that he is too obedient, her mother is worried about him.

"I've also inquired about the Qingli girl you mentioned. She's truly a wonderful girl. I've heard about her back then."

Gu Ruyan revealed a smug look. She was living a very comfortable life now. Both of her sons were married, and her daughters-in-law and in-laws were both good.

The fourth prince is always busy with business, and now he's actually hit the jackpot by being noticed by the princess. She's just worried that the emperor and empress might not agree, but Zhen'er says there shouldn't be any problem.

If this marriage goes through, she will be overjoyed!

She had thought that the third son would never realize his feelings, but she never expected that he would fall in love with such a wonderful girl. She felt that all her previous worries were unnecessary!

His son is quite smart!

"Will Mother be completely at ease once Third Brother and Fourth Brother are both married?" Song Ruozhen teased.

Gu Ruyan shook her head, "That won't do. Now that your eldest brother has a child, you all need to hurry up too."

I'm thinking how lively it will be when the house is full of children during the New Year!

The scene flashed through Song Ruozhen's mind, and she subconsciously shrank her neck, "That's a bit too noisy."

“You’re still young, so naturally you find this kind of noise noisy. When you reach my age, you’ll know how precious this kind of liveliness is.”

Song Ruozhen thought that her mother had given birth to five children, and it had been quite a lively family life since they were young. This was after the second branch of the family had separated from the main branch. Before that, it was always noisy and chaotic.

My mother used to say that the noise every day gave her a headache, but now she misses the preciousness of the lively atmosphere.

Just then, Song Zhiyu returned.

"Fifth Sister, you're here today too!"

Song Zhiyu's eyes lit up the moment he saw Song Ruozhen. As expected of a doting brother, he was always happy to see Song Ruozhen, no matter when or where.

"Third brother, come with me."

Song Ruozhen waved to Song Zhiyu, walked behind the pavilion, and handed him the box.

"this is for you."

"What is this?" Song Zhiyu asked in confusion.

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Don't you like Miss Qingli? I've inquired and found out that Miss Qingli is not engaged yet, which is a good opportunity for you."

I figured you don't usually know much about girls' preferences, so I specially picked some out for you.

The jewelry, ornaments, and trinkets here are all things girls would love. You can trust my taste!

In this entire imperial city, you won't find a single one that's the same.

Song Ruozhen took out one of the rings and said, "Look, isn't it cute?"

"This ring has a design I've never seen before. Is it a cat or a dog on it?"

Song Zhiyu found the little trinket in front of him adorable. He usually chose cute gifts for his fifth sister, but this ring was particularly interesting just by looking at it.

"This is a cat. I had it specially made. It has a different design and is much cuter than the ones we usually see."

Song Ruozhen raised her hand; the ring on her hand was also Hello Kitty, but with a different design.

While she admired the exquisite jewelry all day, she felt that she should have more designs to choose from. Since her family owned a shop, she specially drew up the designs and had her master craft it.

"Fifth sister, you have such good taste." Song Zhiyu's mind was filled with thoughts of how amazing his younger sister was, and his smile became even more naive.

Song Ruozhen blinked. "Then tell me, has there been any progress between you and Miss Qingli lately?"
