Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 332

Du Jinning shook his head: "There's no need to try to persuade you." She raised the notebook in her hand, "I read the script he wrote. Although the writing is sophisticated, the characterization is good, the structure and plot are not bad, but I guess he wrote it. That’s all for writing, because he doesn’t have anything of his own in this book, it’s all based on reference.”

Her evaluation was quite polite.

This "Legend of Heroes of the Seven Swords" largely borrows from the "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River" in its setting, but changes the character and characteristics of the characters, and then puts them in the martial arts world set by Jin Yong, and borrows the Some of the stalks in the other two books, such as getting martial arts secrets after falling off a cliff, and a certain female character living in an ancient tomb...It means that the plots and settings of the three ancient story books she got are mixed, completely No ideas and innovations of their own.If this book is placed in modern times, it will definitely be drowned by readers' saliva.

At first glance, everyone seems to be able to appreciate such a work, but when you think about it carefully, you will doubt it and shake your head in disdain.In the end, everyone had to return to Boyue Bookstore.After all, is the source of that book still the scriptures of Boyue Bookstore?

"Furthermore, have you researched the paper it uses? It is paper made of bamboo and late rice straw. This kind of paper is soft and not stiff, and it is relatively fragile. It will be easily broken after a few more turns. Those customers temporarily I bought it for a cheap price, and after reading it a few times, I will know that the price is not so easy to take advantage of. In the end, they have to come back and praise the quality of the books in our Boyue Bookstore."

Yao Shuqi scratched his head, his old face blushed: "I flipped through it at random, and found that the writing is sophisticated, the plot is attractive to read, and the character description seems to be good. As for the other things, I didn't think too much about it. I know it's bamboo straw paper, but it reduces the cost. Anyway, readers are greedy for cheap, I was thinking whether I should mention to you, young master, that we also use this kind of paper to reduce the price of books."

"Do you think it's a wise move to save readers a hundred pennies and end up costing them five or six hundred pennies to buy books?" Du Jinning shook his head.

These days, because of the expensive printing of paper and ink, books are very precious, even if they are scripts, they can be passed down from generation to generation and become a kind of wealth.

"As long as Peng Jiaxing competes legitimately, let him do it." Du Jinning stood up and said again, "Pay attention to those who write scripts. If you write well, you can sign a contract with them and cooperate with them for a long time. Let them Writing for the bookstore."

"Yes, sir."

Before leaving, Du Jinning asked again: "Aren't Zhang Gou'er and Wang Lusheng here yet?"

Yao Shuqi looked at the sky outside: "It should be soon, Wang Lusheng will arrive in half an hour, Zhang Gou'er will be a little later, but he left early, and he will arrive around this hour."

Zhang Gou'er and Wang Lusheng were first brought to Fucheng by Yao Shuqi, and studied with him for more than a year and a half. Six months ago, they were respectively sent to the branch stores in the county to be the second shopkeepers.Because Lu Xiaobei hadn't seen them for more than half a year, Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi to deliver a letter to them early on, asking them to rush over to meet Lu Xiaobei for a day or two.Two days later, Du Jinning was going back to Lishui County.

Of course, Du Jinning had other ideas when he called them.

Du Jinning and Lu Xiaobei didn't stay here any longer, but went back to the small courtyard where she lived.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gouer arrived one after another.Du Jinning only went out to say hello, and then let the three brothers talk.It wasn't until dinner time that she and Yao Shuqi had a meal with the three of them.

Everyone did not come from aristocratic families, and they were not so particular about "eating without talking". Du Jinning put a chopstick of vegetables into the bowl, and asked Wang Lusheng, "When will you get married?"

Wang Lusheng blushed, and said embarrassingly: "The wedding date is set in August."

He worked as a shopkeeper in Ningxing County. Because he was handsome and capable, he became the shopkeeper of two teahouses and a bookstore at a young age. He was appreciated by a tea businessman next door and was willing to marry his daughter to him.Wang Lusheng also felt that the girl in that family was a good one, and it was a good marriage. After writing a letter to ask Du Jinning and Yao Shuqi for their opinions, he agreed to the marriage.

Yao Shuqi patted Wang Lusheng on the shoulder, and praised: "Not bad, not bad, promising."

Yao Shuqi can also be regarded as half of Wang Lusheng's master.It is natural for Wang Lusheng to be appreciated by others.

Before coming here, he was instructed by Du Jinning to shoulder heavy responsibilities. After praising Wang Lusheng, he cast his eyes on Zhang Gou'er and Lu Xiaobei: "Wang Lusheng is planning to get married, how about you? Don't wait for Wang Lusheng's child to be able to make soy sauce." Well, you're still alone."

Zhang Gou'er and Lu Xiaobei looked at each other and laughed embarrassedly.

Seeing that both of them kept their heads down and did not speak, Yao Shuqi simply asked by name: "Lu Xiaobei, tell me first, you are half a year older than Wang Lusheng. Zhang Gou'er is the youngest, so he said last."

Lu Xiaobei scratched his head: "There's nothing to say, it's all arranged by God, and the marriage will come when it comes. Who would have thought that Wang Lusheng could marry a wife from Ningxing County? In the past, we didn't even dare to think about it."

After two years of experience, Zhang Gou'er is much more generous than before. He nodded and said in agreement, "Isn't it? Brother Xiaobei is right. The marriage between us has not yet come."

"What hasn't arrived yet? There is a saying that you should do your best to obey the destiny. Have you done your best in this regard? If you want to marry a wife, it is not difficult with your current status and income. Which girl do you like? The matchmaker came to propose marriage." Yao Shuqi said indifferently, "It's not that I want to marry a lady from everyone, there is nothing I can't match."

"Lu Xiaobei, please tell me first, do you have any ideas about your future wife? For example, appearance, family background, etc. If I see a suitable one, I will help you out." He said again.

Lu Xiaobei was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I really don't have any ideas. It's all about fate." He raised his wine glass, "I won't talk about that. Come on, my three brothers will toast the young master first. If Without the young master, we would not be who we are today, our brother's kindness to the young master is engraved in our hearts, and we never dare to forget."

With him leading, Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er also stood up in response, toasting one after another.

Although the alcohol content in this era is low, but in order to prevent any bad things from happening after drinking, Du Jinning said from the beginning that he would get rashes after drinking alcohol, and he always used tea instead of alcohol on this occasion.

At this moment, she picked up the teacup and touched the three of them, talked on the phone again, and when she sat down, she and Yao Shuqi looked at each other.

She didn't tell Yao Shuqi about Du Fangling, she only said that someone had taken a fancy to Lu Xiaobei and asked her to find out about Lu Xiaobei's tone, and asked Yao Shuqi to help.Now it seems that Lu Xiaobei has someone in his heart.

She was afraid that something like this would happen, so she specially asked Yao Shuqi to find out about Lu Xiaobei.If she and Du Fangling brought up their marriage rashly, and Lu Xiaobei is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, maybe he would suppress his thoughts for her kindness and agree to marry Du Fangling.This is not what Du Jinning wants to see.
