Chapter 718: The Stone Record, 716

"I’ve invited them," Wang Fei frowned. She got angry just thinking about it.

Both she and Yang Mujing felt there was no need to invite the Yang family’s people, but that old man from the Yang family went to look for her grandfather. Her grandfather then sought her out and asked her to persuade Yang Mujing to invite the Yang family to their wedding.

Luo Shu nodded. Her impression of the Yang family was extremely poor, especially after finding out they colluded with the Yin Corpse Sect. If it weren’t for the sake of her mother and uncle, she would have already destroyed the Yang family.

"Both Yang Mujing and I dislike the people from the Yang family," Wang Fei put down the book in her hand and reached for the water cup on the table to take a sip.

"I met them at Luo Shu’s wedding, and I don’t like them either. You can tell at a glance they are the kind who are only out for profit," Zhang Qi agreed.

"Some things you just can’t help, even if you don’t like them. After all, they are Yang Mujing’s relatives," Wang Fei said helplessly.

"Then just treat them like they are air, and ignore them," Chen Xiaomeng suggested. That was how she dealt with people she didn’t like.

"Is Li Yuan still doing your makeup for this wedding?" Xiao Yan asked. She had agreed with Li Yuan to learn makeup from her when she was free. She had called several times, but Li Yuan had always been busy.

"Li Yuan has been busy recently; this time it’s her apprentice who will do my makeup," Wang Fei said. Li Yuan’s apprentice was also at Starlight Entertainment, and though her makeup skills were not as good as Li Yuan’s, they were still very decent.

"What is she busy with?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Our company has invested in a TV show, and Li Yuan is responsible for doing the makeup for the actors," Wang Fei said, her face brightening with a happy smile as she thought about the TV show that was being filmed. That TV show was the first one invested in by their company, and after the filming was completed, both the opening and ending songs would be sung by her.

"What TV show?" Everyone looked on curiously. No wonder Wang Fei had been so busy that she was out of sight.

"The Stone Record," Wang Fei announced happily: "This time, Mu Wan also plays a key role in it."

"I’ve read that book, and I particularly like the character Wang Xifeng. Beautiful, luxurious, and charming in appearance, she is sly and shrewd, articulate and clever in speech, prompt and adaptable. She is skilled in reading others and knows how to ingratiate herself. She enjoys a high status in the Jia Mansion, is astute and capable, and wins the trust of Grandmother Jia and Madam Wang. She is the de facto administrator of the Jia family, with a charisma that adapts to any situation, quick-witted and eloquent, yet can be cruel and backstabbing, a housekeeper with schemes. But it’s a pity she ends up with the downfall of being ’too clever for her own good, ultimately costing her life.’ Who’s playing Wang Xifeng?"

"Deng Yue, her appearance and temperament are very fitting for the role of Wang Xifeng."

"I like Lin Daiyu, with brows lightly furrowed, eyes lightly gleaming. A countenance carrying twin traces of sorrow, a frailty across her entire being. Tears glistening, breathing gently. Calm as a beautiful flower reflected in water, graceful as a willow supported by the breeze. A mind more perceptive than Bi Gan’s by an opening, a sickness surpassing Xi Shi’s by threefold."

"By the way, who is Mu Wan playing?"

"Xue Baochai, dignified in character, beautiful in appearance, and naturally intelligent and well-read. Doesn’t that suit Mu Wan perfectly?" Wang Fei was quite satisfied with her own judgment.

"It does suit her well. Wang Fei, I haven’t seen what filming is like. Take me to see when you’re free," Chen Xiaomeng said with interest.

"I want to go too," Zhang Qi also expressed her eagerness.

Wang Fei checked the time on her wristwatch, "Why don’t I take you all now?" It was only one in the afternoon, and the filming location wasn’t far from here; they could still make it in time.

"Yes, please!" The group responded with excitement.

The TV series was being filmed at Rongguo Mansion, which is a large household in the shape of a three-part compound with a main hall flanked by two wings. The estate is divided into central, east, and west routes, each with five sets of courtyards, covering an area of over 40,000 square meters. It has 215 rooms of various sizes, 102 verandas, and embodies the opulence of a family renowned for their wealth and literary achievements.

Upon entering, one would pass through Rong Mansion Main Gate, Outer Ritual Gate, South-Facing Hall, Inner Ritual Hall, Rongxi Hall, and Back Surrounding Rooms, which represent Jia Zheng’s Official Bureau, sporting a majestic style of palace-like painted decorations; the east and west wings constitute the Inner Residence, with bright Suzhou-style paintings, elegantly decorated standing floral screens, and exquisite old-style furniture. There are twenty-three scenes, and one hundred and fifty characters; the west wing features West Corner Gate, Drooping Flower Gate, Marble Screen Hallway, Grandmother Jia’s Flower Hall, Grandmother Jia’s Main Branch, Rongqing Hall, and Fengjie Courtyard; the east wing houses Madam Wang’s Courtyard and Jia She Courtyard. With over 1600 pieces of antiques and calligraphy and paintings, it recreates the splendor of a household that is both wealthy and scholarly.

The cost of renting a set in Jinchen was high, so after discussing with Luo Shu, Wang Fei sought joint investment from Yan Country’s TV Drama Production Center to build this grand Rongguo Mansion, as well as Ningrong Street outside of the Rongguo Mansion.

The group arrived at Fengjie Courtyard, where the film crew was currently shooting the scene of Granny Liu entering Grand View Garden.

They saw Fengjie, her face powdered and lips rouged, sitting elegantly on the couch, as Granny Liu explained her situation in detail to Fengjie.

"This Jia Mansion, with its household of people, their food and clothing expenses, inside and out, have all to be managed. The hardship behind the external splendor, only I know," Fengjie said with a smile on her face that was neither warm nor distant as she regarded Granny Liu before her.

Setting down her teacup, she turned to look at a maid by her side.

Understanding the cue, the maid stepped aside to bring over a wrapped package.

Fengjie smiled at Granny Liu, "Granny, it’s rare for you to visit. Please accept these as a token of my junior respect, and you must take them with you."

Granny Liu hurriedly gave a thousand thanks and prompted her grandson beside her to kowtow to Fengjie.

"So, this is what filming is like," Chen Xiaomeng’s eyes sparkled as she watched the dignified and majestic Fengjie sitting there.

Liu Mengyao nodded, agreeing, "This feels so novel, as if we’ve entered another world."

Luo Shu saw Mu Wan not far away, talking to a young man, and said to the others, "I’ll go check on Mu Wan." She hadn’t seen Mu Wan in a long time and missed her.

Mu Wan was studying the script and rehearsing lines with the young man. When she saw Luo Shu approaching, her face immediately lit up with surprise, and she said to the young man, "Let’s pause rehearsing for a moment, my friend has arrived."

Without waiting for the young man’s response, she quickly walked towards Luo Shu.
