"Hula......"
Luo Xin was covered with his head covered, too lazy to take care of Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu reluctantly looked at the manuscript in his hand, and then looked at Luo Xin, who was hooded, and finally didn't bother Luo Xin, sighed regretfully, put the manuscript on the table, and then undressed and went to sleep.
The next day.
Luo Xin and Zhou Yu left Jinyang Mansion early in the morning, but this time they didn't let their horses gallop, and when there was enough time, the two of them rode slowly.
"Brother Xin, have you thought about the next story? Tell me about it. Zhou Yu begged while riding a horse.
Luo Xin shook his head like a rattle, he didn't bother to speak, because he spoke 50,000 words to Zhou Yu yesterday, and his voice was hoarse, and now his throat is still painful.
Seeing that Luo Xin just shook his head and didn't speak, Zhou Yu also remembered that Luo Xin's voice was hoarse when he spoke at breakfast, so he stopped asking for each other, and the two of them walked towards Yanglin County silently.
Let's talk about the champion bookstore.
As soon as the man opened the door in the morning, he saw Hula breaking into a dozen scholars, and as soon as the dozen scholars came in, they asked in a gossipy manner:
"Is there a copy of "The Legend of Shu Mountain" here?"
Before the man could reply, the clever scholar looked over to the shelf where the novel was placed, walked over in three steps and two steps, snatched the book in his hand, found a chair and sat down to look at it. When the scholars saw it, they all ran around the scholar and craned their necks to watch.
It turned out that after Liang Tao and other five scholars left the Zhuangyuan Bookstore yesterday, some went home, some went to the brothel, and some were called by friends to go to the restaurant to drink.
The scholar who went home didn't sleep well this night, and his dreams were all in the bizarre world of "The Legend of Shushan", so he hurriedly ate a bite of food in the morning and came to the Zhuangyuan Bookstore again. On the one hand, I want to see if the second volume has arrived, although the shopkeeper Song said that he would wait for five days, but once it comes?
It doesn't matter if you don't come, you can read the first volume again.
When a few of them said in front of their friends that they had read a strange book today, they were ridiculed by their peers, saying that next year was the year of scientific research, and it was a waste of time to go to see the small talk book.
Liang Tao and a few people naturally couldn't save face, so they said twice on the spot. It doesn't matter. Immediately attracted companions, and even the prostitutes who accompanied them were obsessed.
But Liang Tao and a few of them still have a heart, although on different occasions, they only talked twice and then stopped, which made those friends itch and begged Liang Tao and a few others to continue.
"Didn't you say that reading this novel is not a proper job?" Liang Tao and the others became arrogant on different occasions, their eyes squinting, and they looked down on those scholars.
Those scholars begged each other in every way, and they added vegetables. It was another wine, and Liang Tao in the brothel was added a girl, and after talking about "The Legend of Shushan", he who had never been wealthy took the two girls into the room. For the first time, I realized the double * fly in my life.
But those who listened to the story didn't feel like it was enjoyable, so they came to Zhuangyuan Bookstore early this morning to see it for themselves.
And among these people is Liu Xiuwen, yesterday was the first double fly in his life that he paid money for Liang Tao. His family is rich, not ordinary. At this time, he was also in the Champion Bookstore. But he didn't grab the book, he stretched his neck and read a few pages, thinking it was more attractive than what Liang Tao said. That Liang Tao talked a lot less about the plot.
Immediately straightened up, it was too tiring to bend like this, and he was a master who was not bad for money. came to the counter and patted the counter with a folding fan and said:
"Man, I bought the book, go back and ask the man to send you fifty taels of silver."
How could the guy not know Liu Xiuwen, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Liu Gongzi for your patronage." ”
Liu Xiuwen said lightly: "Why don't you bring me the book?" ”
"Yes, yes, Liu Gongzi, wait a minute."
The fellow trotted to the back of the group of scholars and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please let go." ”
"Why?" A scholar said without looking back: "You want to read the book, wait for us to finish it." ”
The guy looked at the fascinated scholars in a daze, and shouted in his heart: "What kind of book is this "Legend of Shushan"? Why are these talented old men stunned? ”
glanced back at Liu Xiuwen and saw that Liu Xiuwen was glaring at him with a majestic face, so he had no choice but to shout loudly:
"Someone has already bought this book!"
"What?"
The scholars who were reading were awakened by the big voice of the guy, straightened their waists one by one, and looked back at the guy in surprise, as if there were 10,000 horses running madly in their hearts.
Fifty taels of silver!
Who is so generous?
Taking advantage of the time when those scholars were stunned, the guy quickly took the "Legend of Shushan" from the scholar's hand, turned around and trotted to Liu Xiuwen's side, and stuffed the book into his hand, Liu Xiuwen held the book and shook it towards the dozen scholars, with a triumphant smile on his face, turned around and walked out of the door.
The dozen or so scholars woke up from their stunned thoughts, and one of the scholars raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go, let's knock on the door of his house." ”
"Yes, go up to his house and look at it. If you want to be exclusive, it's impossible. ”
"Yes, knock on the door!"
"Knock on the door!"
“…………”
More than a dozen scholars rushed out of the gate noisily, making the guy look at the already empty gate in a daze, and muttered in distraction:
"Crazy! It's all crazy! ”
"What's crazy?" Shopkeeper Song walked in from outside the gate.
"Sold!" The man suddenly saw the shopkeeper and blurted out.
"What sold?" The shopkeeper Song was inexplicable.
"The Legend of Shushan is sold."
"Sold?" Shopkeeper Song raised his voice.
"Hmm."
"Fifty taels?"
"Hmm."
Shopkeeper Song stopped talking, slowly paced to a chair and sat down, touching his beard and thinking. It seems that there is a market for this book! Observe for a few more days.
Well, this matter should also be reported to the big treasurer, and he raised his head and said to the fellow:
"Little Wuzi, I will write a letter, you immediately go to the capital and hand over the letter to the big treasurer."
In the next few days, there was a storm in Jinyang Mansion, Liu Xiuwen took the book home and didn't read two pages before a group of friends knocked on the door, and in the end there was no way, Liu Xiuwen had to sit on a chair and put the book on the desk, and everyone gathered around to read it.
It's nothing, and when I finished reading it, I was directly snatched away by the friend who heard the news. Then the book was passed in the hands of a group of scholars in Jinyang Mansion, and every time it was not one person who read the book, but a group of people.
