Chapter 92 The Reborn Girl 22
"How is Mr. Xiao?" An old man over half a century old came out of the inner door. He was dressed in a dark jacquard robe and had a beard around his mouth. He bowed his hands and greeted the guests with a smile.

Xiao Zhengning turned his head back and said, "Okay, everything is fine, how is shopkeeper Lu doing well?"

"Thanks to Mrs. Xiao, everything is fine." Shopkeeper Lu's eyes were kind, and he was more old-fashioned when he was old. "Master Xiao is a busy person. Why are you looking for this old man in the shop today?"

"For it." Pointing to the manuscript on the table.

Shopkeeper Lu caressed his beard and smiled, strode to the counter, looked down and saw that it was a manuscript called "Fengshen", he looked up at Xiao Zhengning.

"Master Xiao, is this book written by you?"

"You can't tell. Shopkeeper Lu can read a few things. I'm here to cooperate with Shopkeeper Lu; shopkeeper Lu can check whether we can cooperate." Xiao Zhengning raised his hand to invite.

Minghua looked up at the two of them talking, and it was boring to listen to for a while, and the politeness came and went; she simply went to the shelf next to her and took a book that she could touch. Who made her short, so she could only take Books parallel to her height.

Shopkeeper Lu briefly read one or two chapters, and was also drawn into it by the story.

Xiao Zhengning smiled and said, "How does Shopkeeper Lu feel?"

"Ah, good book." Shopkeeper Lu lost his mind for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the book, "I don't know who wrote this book? It doesn't look like Master Xiao's style of writing."

"It's a little girl." Turning to look at the little girl holding a book in front of the bookshelf and reading.

Shopkeeper Lu followed his gaze and was amazed, "It's Qianyuan?! It's not like that! The layout of this book is huge. Qianyuan is at most seven years old this year. How can she write such a script?"

The story of enshrining the gods connects the way of heaven and saints on the top, and connects the people's livelihood on the bottom.

"The manuscript was written word by word by my little girl, and it is indeed her notes; so far, only you, me and my little girl know about the manuscript of this book. Shopkeeper Lu knows who I am, so I definitely won't use this kind of thing to fool people. You see The writing style is vernacular, and you are not afraid of the jokes of Shopkeeper Lu, the little girl has only been studying for a few months, so naturally she can only write such a style of writing."

"It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance!" Shopkeeper Lu couldn't put it down for "Fengshen", even if it's vernacular; maybe, this book can become the ancestor of vernacular Chinese.

The pioneers.

Xiao Zhengning also thinks the same way, everything in the world is reasonable if it exists; his daughter can write vernacular, and it has a grand layout, which is quite attractive. He thinks it looks good, and others should be able to accept it.

If my daughter is exposed in the future, she won't be attacked by too many literati words; after all, how can a child under the age of six be asked to write something with such a good writing style?Isn't that difficult for a strong man? Presumably no one has the nerve to be serious with a child.

If not, he would not have dared to take out the book.

"Minghua."

Minghua followed the sound and saw that it was Daddy. He returned the study and walked forward, "Daddy, you call me."

"Well, this is shopkeeper Lu." Xiao Zhengning introduced to the two, "Treasurer Lu, this is the little girl Minghua."

Ming Hua bowed with a long body, but she had a short body, with a sense of honesty, "Shopkeeper Lu is well."

"Hello, Miss Xiao." Her eyebrows were as gentle as possible, not to frighten the little girl; she raised her eyelids and said to Xiao Zhengning, "Qianyuan is a good teacher, polite and polite, but she is sent to school? Her Majesty the Empress strongly advocates women's admission into the imperial examination." ; this is a good opportunity."

"Enrolled, she is the first batch of female students in the county school." And it is the first female student in the county school.

Shopkeeper Lu praised, "Okay, okay! The little girl is very energetic, you and your wife are blessed; the manuscript is very good, but this manuscript can only last for two months. Qianjin is too young , Can it keep up with the speed of release? What the script wants is a fresh and fast one, and it’s not beautiful if it’s too fresh.”

Xiao Zhengning didn't answer, but lowered his head and asked his daughter, "Minghua, can you do it?"

"Yes." Minghua replied decisively, and said in a childlike voice: "Master Lu, I can write half a chapter in a day; spend more time writing, and I will definitely be able to keep up with the release schedule."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Lu nodded happily, "Let's go inside to have a cup of tea and sign a document; let's talk about the value of the manuscript, please."

The three of them entered the inner door one after the other, and a corridor hut was opened inside, with black cotton curtains hung inside the room; they opened the curtain and walked into the hut, although the hut is small, it has all internal organs.There is a set of tables and chairs, tea sets, small stoves, teacups, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Shopkeeper Lu picked up the teapot on the small stove, poured a cup for each of them, and then sat down opposite the father and daughter.

"Master Xiao, look, are you drafting the document, or am I?"

"Shopkeeper Lu drafted it." Xiao Zhengning asked with one hand.

Shopkeeper Lu agreed with a smile, and moved to the Four Treasures of the Study to grind ink and pick up a pen to write; a simple document was written in a short time, and Xiao Zhengning had to review it first, and after confirming that it was correct, he planned to copy three copies. Xiao Zhengning kept it, and a copy was to be taken to the county government for filing.

Otherwise, the document is invalid.

"Qianyuan's first book release, do you think you should choose long-term dividends, or count according to the manuscript's fifty and one hundred characters?"

Xiao Zhengning originally wanted to count in a hundred characters and fifty characters, but was about to speak when someone pulled his sleeve; he looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Daddy, I want a dividend."

Quite surprised, she took a deep look at her daughter; the manuscript was written by her daughter, if you want to pay dividends, you have to pay dividends, raised your eyes and looked at shopkeeper Lu, and asked, "How to calculate dividends?"

"In terms of dividends, you can share [-]% of the profits." Shopkeeper Lu stretched out his hand and made a comparison.

Xiao Zhengning didn't know to what extent it would be sold, and it was impossible to estimate whether [-]% was more or less.

Minghua secretly wrote "四" in the palm of her father's hand.

Xiao Zhengning glanced at his daughter out of the corner of his eyes, and immediately said, "Twenty percent is too little, it's too much; except for the start-up fee, four or six cents, you six and we four."

"It's too high." Shopkeeper Lu shook his head lightly, and continued to bargain, "Master Xiao, you know that it is quite difficult for me to maintain this bookstore. Let's take a step back. Can [-]% be okay? After the books come out, we still have to hire people to sell them outside. of."

"You can't fool me. Once the book "Feng Shen" is published, there may be a window period, but this period will not be too long; The potential of this book, I dare not use my little girl’s manuscript to publish and sell books.” Cooperate with the current people, call it cooperation, but in fact, there are still many people who do not play their cards according to common sense.

It would be a big loss to pick out the words on the document, and he also valued the kindness of shopkeeper Lu; even a blind person can see the potential of this book, and shopkeeper Lu will not kill the chicken to get the egg.For just four or six points, he felt at a loss.

Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and laughed, and nodded to Xiao Zhengning twice, "You, you, you are still so eloquent; okay, you can achieve anything, but in the future, if you have manuscripts, you should give priority to cooperation with our Wenshuzhai, maybe you should? "
