Smuggling Daming

"Brother, sister Lingyun said you wrote another book, why didn't you tell me?" Bracelet asked with an unhappy face as soon as she came in. wrote a novel.

"Haha, you can't understand the book my brother wrote this time, so I didn't tell you!" Zhou Zhong prevaricated, then he stepped forward to support Zhuo'er's shoulder, and then pushed her out of the room and said, "Jiang'er, I am with you." Miss Xie has business to discuss, it is not suitable for you to listen to, just wait for us outside the door!"

Biao'er couldn't figure out how her brother became mysterious and wanted to struggle but was not as strong as Zhou Zhong. In the end, he was pushed outside the door. Immediately after Zhou Zhong closed the door, he turned around and smiled at Xie Lingyun: " Miss Lingyun wants to read the manuscript of the new book, so I'll give it to you right away."

Seeing Zhou Zhong close the door, Xie Lingyun suddenly panicked. After all, a man and a widow are alone in a room, which is inconsistent with etiquette, but when he thought that Bracelet was outside and accompanied by amulets, he didn't stop him.

I saw that Zhou Zhong quickly took out the Jin Ping Mei manuscripts that had been sorted out, and then handed them over to Xie Lingyun. These manuscripts were not many, only the first six chapters, so Xie Lingyun also read them carefully, but she was caught by the first glance. The opening poem was shocking.

Erbajia's body is like crisp,

Slay the fool with the sword at the waist.

Although no one is seen,

The bone marrow of the private teacher is dry.

This poem is straightforward and easy to understand, and it is clearly a naked obscene poem.Although Xie Lingyun is very wealthy, she is only a girl about the same age as Zhou Zhong. Now that she suddenly sees such a poem, she immediately turns pink and her head droops slightly, as if she is worried about being seen by Zhou Zhong. Make your own exception.

Fortunately, Jin Ping Mei's first episode was quite normal, except for the obscene poem above, there was only one paragraph discussing the word "wealth and sex".

It's just that a few characters appeared in the first round. For example, when the protagonist Ximen Qing first appeared, Xie Lingyun felt very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.But when Wu Song, Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian appeared at the end, Xie Lingyun suddenly realized, why are these characters from the Water Margin?

Seeing the characters in Water Margin appearing in Zhou Zhong's new book, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but look up suspiciously at Zhou Zhong, only to find that the other party was looking at her with a smile on his face. That kind of smile looked very obscene, and one couldn't bear it. I want to give him two punches.

Resisting the urge to hit someone, Xie Lingyun then flipped to the second round.Same as the first chapter, the second chapter still started with an eclectic poem. At this time, Xie Lingyun was already mentally prepared, so she was no longer shy, but in addition, the second chapter almost copied the plot from the Water Margin, Xie Lingyun had already read it. Passed, so it was swept away.At the same time, she couldn't help wondering, Zhou Zhong's new book is not a copy of Water Margin, right?

Turning to the third chapter, it is still the plot of the Water Margin, and even the five shameless things of "Pan Lv Deng Xiaoxian" are also copied, which makes Xie Lingyun gritted her teeth and really wanted to throw the manuscript in Zhou Zhong's face.However, she is a very sensible person. Although there are many explicit words in the manuscript and many plots copied from the Water Margin at the beginning, in terms of plot and writing, the beginning of this book is still very attractive, even for many people. , Those explicit descriptions are the key to attracting them.

It was precisely with this rational attitude that Xie Lingyun suppressed the anger in her heart and forced herself to read on.But she obviously underestimated Jin Ping Mei. Although the content of the fourth chapter is also copied from the Water Margin, there are some changes in it. Extremely detailed.

The following plot was even more obscene, Xie Lingyun already felt her face was burning hot, and her hands and feet were a little weak, especially thinking that Zhou Zhong was looking at her with a smirk, which made her feel ashamed and angry.It finally broke out.

"Crack!" Xie Lingyun threw the manuscript on the table with a flick of her hand, pointed at Zhou Zhong with a blushing face, and said angrily, "Shameless!"

Seeing that Xie Lingyun finally lost the indifferent and calm appearance of the past, Zhou Zhong felt an unspeakable joy. It may be because the other party gave him a lot of psychological pressure when dealing with Xie Lingyun in the past few times. Now seeing a The angry Xie Lingyun made Zhou Zhong feel that the other party was also an ordinary person, and he would also be angry, which made the pressure in his heart disappear all of a sudden.

Facing the shy and angry Xie Lingyun, Zhou Zhong picked up the manuscript on the table with a smile and said: "Miss Xie, please be patient, don't forget, you are a businessman, and a businessman is nothing more than to make money. Publishing is absolutely no worse than Journey to the West, and may even be more popular, so won’t your Xie family earn more by then?”

Seeing Zhou Zhong's playful expression, Xie Lingyun felt that she was about to cry, her eye circles were slightly red, and tears were about to fall. The little maid behind her didn't know what happened, but she wanted to help but didn't know How can I help?In the end, he could only look at his own lady helplessly.

But what Zhou Zhong didn't expect was that in the end, Xie Lingyun used great perseverance to keep her tears from falling, and after standing there staring at Zhou Zhong for a long time, the shame and anger on her face gradually faded away. In the end, he regained some of his original calmness.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for reminding me that I am a businessman, and making money is what I need to consider!" Xie Lingyun's voice was calm and trembling, and she reached out to take back the manuscript from Zhou Zhong's hand, sat down and read up.

Seeing Xie Lingyun's performance, Zhou Zhong was completely stunned.He didn't expect that in the Ming Dynasty, there would be a woman who dared to read a book like Jin Ping Mei in front of a man, and the other party was an unmarried daughter, how much courage would it take to do such a thing?

Compared to Zhou Zhong's shock, Xie Lingyun is actually not having a good time. Although she tried her best to tell herself that this is a test for herself, if she can't even pass this test, how can she take over the family property completely?But looking at the unsightly words and sentences on the manuscript, she still couldn't help feeling her face burning, and finally her ears turned red.

Suanzhu next to her saw her lady's strange reaction, and she finally realized that what made the lady abnormal was the manuscript written by Zhou Chong, which made Suanzhu very curious, and stretched her neck to read the contents of the manuscript, but she Just after watching a little bit, she blushed with a blushing sound, covered her face with her hands and dared not look at it again, but even so, she did not forget to give Zhou Zhong a hard look through the gaps between her fingers, and her heart was full of fear. He's branded 'indecent'.

Finally, Xie Lingyun suppressed her shame and read it, then calmed down her turbulent mood, tried her best to look at Zhou Zhong calmly and said: "Okay, I have finished reading the manuscript, although it is very disgusting, but for some nasty people It’s really attractive to people.”

When she spoke, the blush on Xie Lingyun's face still did not fade away, and her voice trembled even more, but she, who was stubborn, did not flinch in the slightest, her eyes were firmly fixed on Zhou Zhong's eyes.Although Zhou Zhong knew that the current occasion was very inappropriate, for some reason, he suddenly had a strong urge to burst out laughing, but considering the serious consequences of doing so, he was wise not to laugh out loud in the end.

"Cough~" Zhou Zhong coughed dryly, "Miss Xie really has foresight, since I have your approval, then the new book is decided, and I will finish the new book as soon as possible!"

"No need!" What Zhou Zhong didn't expect was that Xie Lingyun refused his words, and then Xie Lingyun slowly sat up straight. After taking a few deep breaths, the blush on her face gradually faded. Then he said, "Young Master Zhou's book is really wonderful, and it can catch people's hearts very well, but I just thought of something, and because of it, your new book doesn't meet our requirements, we thank you This book will not be published either!"

"What?" Zhou Zhong almost jumped up after hearing this. According to the previously signed document, if Zhou Zhong's book does not meet the requirements of Xie's family, Xie Lingyun has the right not to publish the book, and of course Zhou Zhong's remuneration will be lost.

"What is it that made you decide that the new book does not meet the requirements? According to the regulations on the document, you must give me a convincing reason!" Zhou Zhong also suppressed his anger and asked, although Xie Lingyun asked Xie Lingyun in front of her. Reading pornographic books is a bit unethical, but in his opinion, this is just a prank after all, if Xie Lingyun is not to publish a new book just because of this, then this reason is too unconvincing.

Seeing that Xie Lingyun returned to her original calm look at this time, she glanced at Zhou Zhong indifferently, and then said: "Since Mr. Zhou wants to know, then Lingyun will not hide it. I think you have heard about it too, Mr. Zhou." However, our Xie family is actually mainly engaged in smuggling, and has only started to enter other industries in the past few years. Compared with smuggling, the profit of the printing workshop is actually very low, but the reason why I insisted on buying a good printing workshop is actually It's not just for making money, but I want to use this to change outsiders' impression of our Xie family!"

When Xie Lingyun said this, she didn't explain further, and with Zhou Zhong's cleverness, she immediately understood what she meant.Although most of the wealthy people in Songjiang Prefecture and even along the coast are involved in smuggling, most of them have quite legitimate businesses, and smuggling only accounts for a part of their business.

But the Xie family is different. They mainly focus on smuggling, unlike other wealthy people who have a legitimate business as a fig leaf. Impressions of the Xie family, such as the previous donations to the victims of the disaster, the Xie family was very active.

The printing workshop directly serves the scholars, and the scholars are the mouthpiece of the whole society. Therefore, for the Xie family, the printing workshop is not only used to make money, but also to earn fame.

Although Jin Ping Mei is a good book, if it is printed and published, countless people will rush to buy it.But it is also a book at the same time. Although the people who buy books are mainly scholars, most of them actually do one thing and talk about another, especially those pious scholar-bureaucrats, maybe they just read it happily at night. After finishing Jin Ping Mei, he would scold the author for being shameless and obscene during the day, and the Xie family, who is a printer, would definitely be involved. Let alone earning a reputation, I am afraid it would only bring the Xie family into disrepute.

Xie Lingyun's reason is indeed legitimate, at least Zhou Zhong can't think of a way to refute it. When he was planning to write Jin Ping Mei, he even planned to let Xie Lingyun publish it anonymously. After all, writing pornographic books is not a glorious thing. He made himself notorious.But I didn't expect that the Xie family cared more about reputation than him, and they were not willing to publish this kind of book at all.

"I understand, your Xie family is indeed not suitable for publishing this book, how about this, I will write another new book, and I will definitely not make such a mistake as Jin Ping Mei!" Zhou Zhong said with his head downcast.I didn't realize that I had been busy for a few days, and my busy work was in vain. Is it possible that I really want to write a dream of Red Mansions. The book is very literary. Although some ideas in it are rebellious, they will definitely be loved by readers. Maybe it will attract a group of daughters who call themselves Baochai and Daiyu.

Seeing Zhou Zhong's dejected look, Xie Lingyun, who had fully recovered, suddenly smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou doesn't seem to like writing books?"

Zhou Zhong gave Xie Lingyun a blank look when he heard this, and said: "Life is forced, what do you like or dislike, it's nothing more than earning money to support your family."

Hearing what Zhou Zhong said, the smile on Xie Lingyun's face became wider, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes as she said: "My family is also very considerate of Mr. Zhou's difficulties. After all, I just finished writing a book like Journey to the West. To write another book, it is inevitable that I will not be able to keep up mentally, if Mr. Zhou really doesn't want to write, the slave family has another way, as long as you are willing to part with one thing, you still don't have to pay back the 300 taels of silver you borrowed last time."
