Chapter 6, Printing Zhu Xian
The next day, Zhang Mingxuan woke up from his deep sleep, opened his eyes and looked out, only to see that it was already the middle of the day.
Immediately shouted, "Suffer!" "It's not in my own house now!"
Immediately got up, picked up his clothes, with a disgusted expression on his face, yesterday I walked on the street for a noon, and my clothes were full of Han stains. Zhang Mingxuan's eyes lit up, and he found that there was a wardrobe leaning against the wall next to him, and there must be clothes in the wardrobe! Zhang Mingxuan climbed out of bed, trotted to the wardrobe, and opened the door. I saw that there were many pieces of clothes stacked inside, gray, black, white, blue and green, some home clothes, and some Confucian clothes, among which Confucian clothes were the majority. Zhang Mingxuan chose a set of ordinary black home clothes to wear on his body, not to mention that it was quite comfortable to wear, but unfortunately there was no mirror.
Zhang Mingxuan looked at the results of his struggle last night, showed a smile, took the manuscript and opened the door and went out. When I opened the door, the dazzling light shone on my body, my body was slightly hot, and my eyes were tingling. Zhang Mingxuan subconsciously put his hand in front of him, glanced at it, and saw Li Qingya's figure in the courtyard, presumably in the front bookstore!
Zhang Mingxuan walked quickly towards the bookstore, and sure enough, the boss was sitting behind the counter with Yaya in his arms, gently humming the lullaby he had just learned yesterday. Zhang Mingxuan stepped forward and scratched his scalp embarrassedly and said, "Sister Qingya, I'm sorry!"
Li Qingya looked at Zhang Mingxuan, who was dressed in black, and was a little distracted for a while, as if the man appeared in front of her again.
Li Qingya shook her head, dispelled the unrealistic fantasies in her mind, and said with a smile: "You're very tired of fleeing here! ”
Zhang Mingxuan was full of emotion, look at what a good person he is! Zhang Mingxuan immediately handed over the manuscript in his hand and said: "Sister Qingya, you see that this is a book I wrote, you can evaluate it!"
Li Qingya was surprised: "Write so much in one night? Okay! Show it to me." ”
Zhang Mingxuan put the manuscript on the counter and said embarrassedly: "Sister Qingya, you watch first, I'll go wash up." ”
Li Qingya nodded and said, "Go!"
Zhang Mingxuan turned his head and walked towards the backyard.
"Wait~"
Zhang Mingxuan looked back at Li Qingya suspiciously. Li Qingya hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you insist on calling me sister, I will accept you as a younger brother." ”
Zhang Mingxuan said happily: "Okay, Sister Qingya." ”
I didn't expect this to be upgraded, and I changed directly from a subordinate to a young master, but it doesn't seem to make a difference, but the status is different!
Li Qingya smiled and said, "Then you go! ”
Zhang Mingxuan nodded and said, "Thank you, sister!"
After seeing Zhang Mingxuan leave, Li Qingya opened the manuscript and laughed out loud at the first glance: "This story is pure fiction, and any similarities are purely coincidental. I can really write!"
Zhang Mingxuan came to the well, and sure enough, he saw a water cup on the edge of the well, and a toothbrush was placed in the cup. Zhang Mingxuan was also shocked at once, didn't the Tang Dynasty still bite the willow branches? "Chew tooth wood in the morning"! How did the toothbrush come about? Zhang Mingxuan immediately picked up the toothbrush and looked at it, the handle of the toothbrush was ceramic, and the hair was pig hair! Anyway, it should be animal hair.
Zhang Mingxuan said to himself: "This is a mythical world, if you are serious, you will lose." ”
Zhang Mingxuan saw that there was still a small plate of paste-like things next to the toothbrush, which should be toothpaste! Zhang Mingxuan finished washing skillfully and returned to the bookstore refreshed. At this time, Li Qingya was looking at the manuscript intently, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. Nineteen chapters are not much, and I will finish reading them in a while.
Li Qingya put her hand on the manuscript, pondered for a while, looked at Zhang Mingxuan who was looking forward to it, and said: "The story is very good! But the words and sentences dare not be flattering, the words and sentences have no depth, and there is no connection between the transmission and the transfer, just like ordinary speech." Li Qingya frowned and looked at Zhang Mingxuan, obviously this way of writing in the vernacular was not accepted by her.
"The only highlight is the use of the symbols. ”
"Symbols?" Zhang Mingxuan asked suspiciously.
Li Qingya pointed casually and said, "That's it." ”
Zhang Mingxuan suddenly said: "You are talking about punctuation!"
"Punctuation? ”
Li Qingya hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll help you polish your pen!"
What she said about moistening the pen is to change this kind of vernacular text into classical Chinese, and the full text is also like that, this is not a small project, it is equivalent to writing it from scratch, and Li Qingyaken said this is enough to prove his love for this story.
Zhang Mingxuan shook his head and said, "Sister Qingya, no need, I feel that this is good." Do you know a printing house? I want to print it and sell it in bookstores. ”
Li Qingya was puzzled: "Isn't it not finished yet?"
Zhang Mingxuan explained: "You can sell it even if you don't finish it! ”
Li Qingya's beautiful eyes were full of incomprehension, what do you mean? Li Qingya looked at Zhang Mingxuan with a serious face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I am familiar with the bookstore, are you sure you want to print?"
Zhang Mingxuan nodded firmly, he just wanted to accumulate the first pot of gold with this book! Li Qingya stood up with Yaya in her arms, and then Zhang Mingxuan found that there were two seats behind the counter, and there was a brand new seat.
Li Qingya looked at Zhang Mingxuan and said, "You can use the previous chair!"
It means that this new one is my sister's, you can't use it!
Zhang Mingxuan nodded understandingly, and made an "OK" gesture in his hand and said, "Okay, okay." ”
Li Qingya walked out of the counter and said, "Close the door and follow me." ”
Zhang Mingxuan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, sister." ”
Zhang Mingxuan closed the door of the store, took the manuscript and followed Li Qingya into the surging crowd, and the two walked through the streets and alleys to the production area. Among them, the voices of people are boiling, the vehicles pulling goods are constantly coming and going, and the cries of workers are mixed with the roar of machines. Zhang Mingxuan curiously stretched out his head to look at the factories, brewing, dyeing, and furniture factories.
After a while, Li Qingya took Zhang Mingxuan into a large bookstore, which was piled up with a mountain of brand-new books, and took a deep breath of the fragrance of ink. An old man in the store who was planning to plate it, looked up and saw the two of them coming in, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him from behind the counter with a smile on his face and said, "Miss Li has come from a long way to welcome, forgive the sins!"
Li Qingya nodded and said, "It's a little troublesome to Mr. Wu." ”
The old man should be Mr. Wu, and said with a smile: "Miss Li's business is my business, where is the trouble?"
Li Qingya looked at Zhang Mingxuan and said, "Please ask Mr. Wu to print some of this manuscript." ”
Zhang Mingxuan respectfully handed the manuscript to Old Man Wu, who took the manuscript with a smile and said, "Miss Li, this is here to take care of the old business!"
Li Qingya asked Zhang Mingxuan, "How many copies do you need?"
Zhang Mingxuan hurriedly said, "Let's take a hundred first." ”
Wu Lao's body is a meal, only a hundred copies, this is a loss!
But he still said to Li Qingya with a smile on his face: "No problem, please wait for a while." ”
Wu Lao took the manuscript and shouted, "Master Zhou, Master Zhou!"
A voice came from the backyard and said, "Here it is!"
An old man in a gray cloth robe walked over from the back door, and Old Man Wu handed the manuscript to Master Zhou and said, "Printed into a book, one hundred copies! The best paper, the best ink, hurry!"
Master Zhou hesitated: "Boss Wu, this ...... The engraving below is the order of Qionglin Bookstore, "Analects", "Policy Treatise", "Confucianism Articles", ......"
Boss Wu immediately waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Put it all down, now, immediately, immediately give me the manuscript to engrave this book, understand?"
Master Zhou's face changed, but he knew that Boss Wu's background was not ordinary, and behind it was the noble of the dynasty, and the background of the customer who could make him pay so much attention must be unusual!
Immediately nodded and said, "I understand the boss!"
