Luo Guanzhong deserves to be a top god, because the hot sales of his works soon had a large number of loyal fans. In addition to the big and small students, the most common people in the market are military generals and nobles, knowing that many of the descriptions in the book are far from the real war, but they are better than the plot twists and turns, passionate and bloody, and there are many elements of "pretending to be forced to slap the face" in later generations, it is difficult to think about it or not.

Although he has officially become the gentleman of the academy, Luo Guanzhong has not come to the academy to take classes, because there are too many people who visit him every day, and he is still a nobleman who can't get rid of it.

Lao Gu patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Although Mr.'s writing is popular, there are places where I still can't understand and tired my eyes, so I simply invited a storyteller to tell us, and the whole family heard the third watch in the middle of the night, and in the end, the storyteller was directly dumb and didn't say anything." ”

"It's a blessing to be able to win the favor of Hou Ye, the old man has received the gift of Hou Ye, please bring it back!"

"What is a little gift worth, if Mr. doesn't accept it, let my old Gu's face go somewhere."

Ma Du said: "Okay Lao Gu, what kind of garlic are you putting here, Mr. Luo is the gentleman of my academy, and he can't be treated harshly." Besides, who do you think of Mr. Luo, not only did you confiscate it from others. ”

"It's because I didn't think it through, I'll take it away when I turn around! But this book I saw half of the text is really itchy, let people go to the bookstore to ask, said that the following has not been printed yet, if Mr. still has stock here, can you give me a sneak peek. ”

Sure enough, he came to urge the change again, Luo Guanzhong was already ready to take out a book, "Actually, some of the following have already been printed, and when the old man sees it, it can be printed and sold if there are no mistakes or omissions, if the Hou Ye can't wait to take it first." ”

There is nothing to say about Luo Guanzhong's weak copyright consciousness Ma Du, there have been piracy on the market, and there are even people who pretend to be his big name and write down, Luo Guanzhong is not only not annoyed but also happy, and said that those people are also famous for him, where is this reasonable.

Lao Gu took the book with a smile, "Mr. is not only talented but also generous, so I will accept it unceremoniously." A talent like you, if Zhang Shicheng can be reused, he will not fall so quickly! ”

Ma Du originally planned to hide his identity from Luo Guanzhong, but with the big sale of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his identity couldn't be hidden, and he was soon picked up, including the fact that he had been a staff member for Zhang Shicheng.

There was no Jinyi guard to come to the door, after all, Lao Zhu even used Zhang Shicheng's hardcore staff like Xu Ben, so there was no reason to hold on to Luo Guanzhong, who ran away halfway. Lao Zhu is not so vicious, as long as he doesn't harm his country, he is still very good at talking.

"Lao Gu, you don't open which pot to mention, you haven't left quickly after you have got the book, just because you and I have spent several days here in vain."

"When you become a national prince, your temper is really good, I'm leaving, I don't want you to take care of the food!"

Ma Du and Luo Guanzhong kept sending him to the door, Gu Shi got on the horse and did not forget to ask Ma Du to make him a steamer first, seeing him go far away Ma Du breathed a sigh of relief, "The ears are finally clean, is Mr. still used to living here?" ”

"Thanks to my grandfather's care, the food here is good, there is nothing unaccustomed, but the sweet water well in the house is too little water and it is inconvenient to wash."

"Uh...... I will get used to it slowly, I don't know who else is in your family, I can have someone pick it up and reunite with my husband! ”

Luo Guanzhong sighed and said: "My wife and children died early, and my daughter-in-law remarried with her young grandson, and there is no one in the family." ”

"That's the case, when your grandson is older, you can let him come to Fangshan to study and Chenghuan!"

"It would be great if it did!" Luo Guanzhong turned around and bowed deeply.

"Sir is always so polite, doesn't it seem too out-of-the-box."

Luo Guanzhong said: "It's not that the old man is polite, it's that the grandfather is too kind to the old man, can you tell the old man the reason?" ”

Belch...... What else can be the reason for this, it's not because your reputation in the later generations is too loud, the old gentlemen of the academy all have real talents and practical learning, and have the strategy of helping the world and the people, but when added together, it is not as good as your reputation in the later generations.

Of course, this can't be said, Ma Du had no choice but to say: "In the past, my father was ordered to lurk in Zhang Shicheng's mansion, and I have long heard that Mr. has admired him for a long time, and today I am fortunate to see Mr., so I feel close." ”

"Huh...... It was the old man who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and now only the old and crippled body remains, and the grandfather can't figure anything. ”

Ma Du suddenly smiled evilly: "As far as I know, Mr. has another important treasure that has not been shown." ”

"Haha...... Grandpa, don't joke anymore, when I left Pingjiang, Zhang Shicheng gave me some gold and silver treasures, and there was not much left over the years, and it was stolen on the way to Yingtian, and there was really no heavy treasure! ”

"Who said no, it's just that Mr. doesn't know." Ma Du leaned over to him and whispered, "Isn't the original manuscript of "Water Margin" in your hands? ”

In a remote village in Hongxian County, Fengyang, a high-gate compound is incompatible with the low and dilapidated thatched adobe houses around it.

Two tall stone lions stood in front of the door and grinned, which made people feel a little hideous, and they couldn't help but want to stay away from it, for fear that they would pounce and bite it.

A group of men, women, and children squatted far away outside the gate of the house, looking at them as ordinary peasants, looking at the vermilion gate, as if it was the gateway to heaven.

Across was a small sedan chair in blue, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood aside, looking at the door with the same anxious expression, pacing under his feet, and leveling the weeds on the side of the road.

Time is slowly passing, the duck egg yolk in the east like the morning sun shoots out ten thousand brilliant morning light, and the "Han Mansion" on the plaque in front of the door shines brightly against the background of the morning light.

With a creak, the door finally opened, and a butler-like man came out with his hands behind his back, and the peasants swarmed around him, and the quiet morning was immediately noisy.

"Steward Pang has a lot of strength, see if you can go to the house to be a nursing home!"

"Steward Pang, my mother-in-law is sick and dead, and the family has no money to mourn, so you can help the villagers."

"The family has a large population, and I can't raise so many babies, the big girl in the family is diligent and diligent, see if you can go to the house to do things!"

……

Steward Pang scolded impatiently, "Shut up!" How can I hear the noise clearly, one by one! ”

At that moment, everyone immediately shut up and stepped forward one by one to talk to the butler. After everyone finished speaking, the head of the family sighed, "Every time I go to Yingtian, the governor has to ask him to do a good deed every day to take care of the township, but it can't help him so much." Who was going to send her daughter to the house as a maid just now, and it's up to you today. ”

"Here we are!" A middle-aged farmer happily sent his skinny little girl to the housekeeper, who took the girl's hand and looked at it, "Well, I have done a job, and I have taken it." ”

The housekeeper took out a silver ingot and put it in the farmer's hand, "Liu Laosi gambles less, no matter how many babies you have, it won't be enough for you to sell!" ”

"Thank you Steward Pang, Du Du is really a good man." The peasant happily took the money and turned away.

The other people were unwilling and rushed forward to talk to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper waved his hand impatiently and said viciously: "Don't get out yet, I think the nursing home in the house is vegetarian!" ”

Those people who were frightened by him immediately ran away, and the housekeeper looked at the small sedan chair in the distance, went down the steps with a smile, and said to the man in the brocade robe: "Li Yuanwai brought people here so quickly." ”

"Don't you dare to be unhappy!" Li Yuanwai patted the sedan chair, "Daughter, come out to see the ceremony!" ”

I saw a woman in a green shirt open the sedan curtain and drill out, only to see that the woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, the appearance was very marked, the face was slightly powdered, shy and timid, walking like a weak willow supporting the wind, muttering a knees to salute, that look I see especially pity.

Steward Pang nodded and waved his hand, "Miss Li, go back to the sedan chair." Then he pulled the member aside and said viciously: "When I can't see that this woman is from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, you dare to find a prostitute to fool the governor." ”

Li Yuanwai said with a bitter face: "Of course Li knows that the governor likes educated young ladies from large families, and Li is also willing to give his daughter to the governor as a concubine, but you see that my daughter, who is respectful, can see it well, and if you can't enter the eyes of the governor when you send it to Yingtian, wouldn't it be useless." ”

"Then you can't fool the governor like this, if the governor sees through it, I will follow it!"

"Rest assured, butler, this is a thin horse that I bought from Yangzhou at a great price, and it is no different from the upbringing of those eldest ladies, and it is a perfect body. In addition, she will take her parents to take care of her at home, and she will not say anything. ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "It's still a little dusty!" ”

Li Yuanwai hurriedly stuffed a deposit receipt from the Fengyang branch of Daming Bank into the butler's hand, "The housekeeper has to be trusted by the governor, whether it is or not is not a matter of your words." ”

The housekeeper looked at the numbers on it and stuffed it into his sleeve with satisfaction, "That's it, anyway, the governor rarely goes to the Qinglou, so he shouldn't be able to see it." ”

"The dog's lawsuit?"

"As long as the governor nods, don't say that it is murder and arson, killing officials and rebelling can also be erased. Come with me to the house, write you a letter and send it to Yingtian with someone. ”

As soon as the two of them were about to enter the house, they saw an ox cart coming slowly, and they smelled a foul smell from a distance, and the housekeeper twisted his nose and scolded: "How many times have the mother told you, the dung cart took the east path and went directly to the side door." ”

A black-faced teenager smiled and said, "I forgot that the little one must be changed next time!" ”

An Huzi glanced at the sedan chair and tugged on the reins in his hand, and the old cow mooed and went towards the path east of the courtyard wall.
