Chapter 395 The debate about Jin Ping Mei
Chapter 395: The debate about Jin Ping Mei

Lao Zheng, the editor-in-chief of Daming Weekly, immediately summoned a group of editors to review and revise the manuscript after receiving the second half of the manuscript.

Anyway, the newspaper's income has increased significantly recently, and he is really not afraid to spend a small amount of money to get some better tea for the editors of the newspaper, get some food, and give some allowances by the way.

Anyway, Lao Zheng, who has money and everything at his disposal, feels confident when he asks people to work overtime.

And after spending half the night to thoroughly revise and review the second half of the manuscript, Lao Zheng's last worry was gone.

Very good, no mess, no messing around!

It seems that newspaper sales can still go up!
Work overtime, overtime or something like that!
The staff of Ming Weekly Newspaper, under the leadership of editor-in-chief Lao Zheng, and stimulated by the continuous increase in sales and the continuous upgrading of welfare benefits, it is called a violent military morale.

In the market, discussions and debates about Jin Ping Mei have become increasingly heated.

What a coincidence. Jie Jin, who was usually quite leisurely, unexpectedly and logically got involved in this controversy.

The reason started at a party held by Xie Jin and others of the same year.

At that time, a dozen or so Jinshi scholars who passed the same subject examination as Xie Jin met at a brothel for a "dinner"!
However, since we were in a brothel, during this "dinner party", a ragged waitress was naturally indispensable.

Nowadays, the Jinshi in the same field, all of whom have official status, are drinking wine, eating meat, and chatting with a young lady in their arms.

Naturally, this scholar can't just talk about those needle-headed and thread-savvy people like ordinary people in Li.

Similarly, the affairs of the court are not something that new scholars like them can figure out.

Therefore, after all the talk, we still talked about things in Shilin.

As a recent hot search headline, Jin Ping Mei naturally deserves to be at the top of the topic list.

Fortunately, the waitress beside Xie Jin today is extremely capable in her business.

So much so that not long after the show started, Xie Jin was actually a little tipsy.

Therefore, when a man of the same age who did not have a particularly good relationship with Xie Jin and who seemed to be particularly "prude" in Xie Jin's eyes kept talking about how vulgar and filthy Jin Ping Mei was, Xie Jin suddenly became confused. stood up.

He's on top!
"Brother Danian, why is this Jin Ping Mei vulgar? Why is it so dirty?"

"You just like to be prude!"

"If you are really the kind of person who doesn't care about wine, sex or wealth, if you stand up and say this, Xie will never give a shit!"

"But here you are sitting in a brothel, holding a girl in your arms and saying that Jin Ping Mei is filthy and vulgar. Who are you fooling!"

A student named Xu Danian was sixteen years older than Xie Jin. He was already jealous of geniuses like Xie Jin at this young age.

Seeing that Jie Jin didn't give him any face, he embarrassed himself on the spot in public, and his face suddenly turned red.

Especially when he saw the other Jinshi who came with him looking at him with amused expressions, he almost burst into tears.

He directly banged the table with a loud bang.

"Jie Jin, what did you say?"

"Why did Xu get fooled?"

"Xu is talking about matters as they arise!"

"How serious and sacred is the Ming Dynasty Weekly?"

"Think about it again, what kind of masterpieces were the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin published before?"

"Compared with those, isn't this Jin Ping Mei just vulgar?"

As soon as Xie Jin got drunk, he looked at Xu Danian's anxious and pale face and sneered.

He started stabbing people with knives on the spot!

"Tch, you know nothing!"

"You! No wonder many people said that you got here purely by luck." "Sure enough, you are just not good at this!"

"This Jin Ping Mei, if you look around, could it be possible that you have seen all kinds of pretentiousness between Ximen Qing and a few other girls?"

"That proves that you are only thinking about this little thing in your heart!"

"At the same time, it also proves that your talent is really just that!"

Good guy, when Xie Jin gets drunk, he really attacks people's hearts and kills them with swords.

Opposite him, Xu Danian's fists were almost full of water, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Xie Jin.

But Jie Jin, after looking around nonchalantly for a week, said with a smile.

"Since you don't understand, Xie will teach you a lesson and simply let you know what a masterpiece this Jin Ping Mei is!"

As soon as these words came out, several classmates who had been hiding aside to watch the excitement suddenly became interested.

No matter what they think, in fact, they know very well that Tanhualang, who is a Jinshi in the same subject as them, is also the youngest in the same year, so there is absolutely nothing to say about his talent.

At least, he definitely deserves to be called a child prodigy back then.

Therefore, when Xie Jin spoke like this, they all became interested.

They had some ideas of their own, but now, they wanted to hear Xie Jin's opinions.

Xie Jin drank the wine that the young lady brought to his mouth in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said calmly.

"The book Jin Ping Mei, on the surface, seems to be unbearably vulgar, especially the description of the joy of the boudoir and the joy of fish and water, which is so realistic."

"At least Jie has been to the brothel so many times, so he is considered a veteran, but when he saw this book, he was still shocked."

Everyone laughed in sympathy after hearing this.

However, the core of what Xie Jin wants to say is obviously just the beginning.

"However, Xie originally thought that this was just for fun and entertainment. By chance, when Xie read the book for the second time, he discovered something was wrong."

Speaking of this, Xie Jin's expression became more serious.

"At that time, Jie was also idle, and suddenly he thought about something. This high-ranking official from Ximen is obviously a businessman, how could he become such a luxurious person?"

"Isn't he just a medicine merchant?"

"How can you have both sides?"

"Then I took a closer look. Well, firstly, the family fortune passed down from my father's generation is pretty good, and I have a business in medicinal materials."

"But on the other hand, he also has a less conspicuous business called official debt!"

"For what?"

"Give loans to officials!"

"Well, once this move is made, plus he is good at wine, sex, wealth and wealth, and he is also very knowledgeable about the world."

"Did all this going back and forth just win over the officials from top to bottom in Yanggu County through this money-making business?"

"Think about it, is that true?"

Everyone thought about it in a daze, and then suddenly realized.

Oh, if Xie Jin didn't mention it, they really didn't pay attention.

How could this high-ranking official from Ximen live so extravagantly?
Xie Jin looked at everyone's sudden realization and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Is this a shock?
It's early!
