"Hula..."

Luo Xinjiang had his head covered and didn't bother to talk to Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu reluctantly looked at the manuscript in his hand, then looked at Luo Xin who was covering his head, and in the end he didn't have the nerve to bother Luo Xin. He sighed regretfully, put the manuscript on the table, and then undressed to sleep.

the next day.

Luo Xin and Zhou Yu left Jinyang Mansion early in the morning, but this time they didn't let their horses gallop. There was enough time, so the two of them rode slowly.

"Brother Xin, have you thought about the next story? Tell me about it." Zhou Yu begged while riding a horse.

Luo Xin shook his head like a rattle, he didn't even bother to speak, because he was hoarse after speaking [-] words to Zhou Yu yesterday, and now his throat still hurts.

Seeing that Luo Xin just shook his head and did not speak, Zhou Yu also remembered that Luo Xin's voice had become hoarse during breakfast, so he stopped begging, and the two walked towards Yanglin County in silence.

Let's talk about the Zhuangyuan Bookstore.

As soon as the clerk opened the door in the morning, he saw a dozen or so scholars barging in. As soon as the dozen or so scholars came in, they asked in a hurry:

"Is there a copy of "The Legend of Shushan" here?"

Before the waiter could answer, the clever scholar looked towards the shelf where the novels were placed, walked over in three steps at a time, snatched the book in his hand, found a chair and sat down to read it. up.When those scholars saw it, they all ran to the scholar's side, bowed their waists and stretched their necks to look at it.

It turned out that after Liang Tao and other five scholars left Zhuangyuan Bookstore yesterday, some went home, some went to a brothel, and some were summoned by their friends to drink in a restaurant.

The scholar who returned home didn't sleep well that night, and his dreams were all in the grotesque world of "The Legend of Shushan". Has the second volume arrived? Although shopkeeper Song said it would take five days, what if it arrives?

It doesn't matter if you don't come, you can read the first volume again.

But those people who went to brothels and restaurants were too addicted. When they said in front of their friends that they had read a strange book today, they were ridiculed by their companions, saying that next year is the year of scientific research. , It's a waste of time to actually read the novel.

Liang Tao and the others naturally couldn't save face, so they said it twice on the spot.It didn't matter what he said, it immediately attracted his companions, and even the prostitutes who accompanied them were fascinated by it.

But Liang Tao and the others still had a tacit understanding. Although they were on different occasions, they stopped talking after only two times in a very tacit understanding, which made those friends feel itchy and begged Liang Tao and others to continue talking.

"Didn't you say that reading this novel is not a proper job?" Liang Tao and the others suddenly became arrogant on different occasions, squinting their eyes, looking down on those scholars.

Those scholars begged in every possible way, adding food and wine, and Liang Tao in the brothel was added a girl. After finishing the "Legend of Shushan", he, who has never been rich, put his arms around the two girls. Entering the room, for the first time in my life I realized double flying.

But those who listened to the story felt that it was not enough, so they came to Zhuangyuan Bookstore early this morning to see it with their own eyes.

And among these people was Liu Xiuwen. Yesterday was the first double-flying in his life that he paid Liang Tao to realize.His family is very rich, not ordinary rich, and he is also in the Zhuangyuan Bookstore at this time.But he didn't grab the book, so he bent over and stretched his neck to read a few pages, and found it more attractive than what Liang Tao said, so Liang Tao missed a lot of plots.

Immediately straightened his waist, it was too tiring to bend like this, and he was a master who was not short of money.When I came to the counter, I slapped the counter with a folding fan and said:

"Man, I bought that book, and I will ask the man to send you 50 taels of silver later."

How could the guy not know Liu Xiuwen, he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Liu for your patronage."

Liu Xiuwen said lightly: "Why don't you go and bring me the book?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu, please wait a moment."

The guy trotted to the back of the group of scholars and said, "Young masters, please step aside."

"Why?" A scholar said without looking back, "You want to read, wait until we finish."

The clerk stared blankly at those fascinated scholars, and shouted in his heart: "What kind of book is this "Shushan Biography"? Why have these talented masters been bewitched?"

Looking back at Liu Xiuwen, seeing Liu Xiuwen staring at him majesticly, he had no choice but to shout:
"Someone has already bought this book!"

"what?"

All the scholars who were reading were awakened by the man's loud voice, each of them straightened up, and looked back at the man in surprise, as if ten thousand horses were galloping madly in their hearts.

50 taels of silver!

Who is so generous?
Taking advantage of the time when the scholars were stupefied, the clerk quickly took "The Legend of Shushan" from the scholar's hand, turned around and ran to Liu Xiuwen, and stuffed the book into his hand, Liu Xiuwen held the book and shook it towards the dozen or so scholars. With a triumphant smile on his face, he turned around and walked out the door.

The dozen or so scholars woke up from their daze, and one raised his arms and called out: "Come on, let's open the gate of his house."

"Yes, go to his house to see it. It is absolutely impossible to enjoy it alone."

"Yes, call the door!"

"Call the door!"

"........."

More than a dozen scholars rushed out of the gate noisily, making the clerk stare blankly at the empty gate and mutter absently:

"Crazy! Crazy!"

"What's crazy?" Shopkeeper Song came in from outside the gate.

"Sold!" The shopkeeper suddenly blurted out when he saw the shopkeeper.

"What sold?" Shopkeeper Song was puzzled.

"The Legend of Shushan is sold."

"Sold?" Shopkeeper Song raised his voice.

"Ah."

"Ten taels?"

"Ah."

Shopkeeper Song stopped talking, walked slowly to a chair and sat down, stroking his beard and thinking.It seems that there is really a market for this book!Observe for a few more days.

Well, this matter should be reported to the shopkeeper, raised his head and said to the guy:
"Little Wuzi, I'll write a letter, you should immediately go to the capital and hand the letter to the shopkeeper."

In the next few days, a storm blew up in Jinyang Mansion. Before Liu Xiuwen took the book home and read two pages, he was hit by a group of bad friends. In the end, Liu Xiuwen had no choice but to sit down. Put the book on the desk on a chair, and everyone gathered around to read it.

It's nothing. After reading it, the bad friend who heard the news snatched the book away.Then this book was passed on in the hands of all the scholars in Jinyang Mansion, and each time it was read not by one person, but by a group of people.
