Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 215: King Kang’s Invitation

This was the last night in Hongxiu Pavilion. Tang Ning rarely stayed in bed with Su Mei for a while longer, and then left the room with her.

Of course, he went through the door, and Su Mei still went through the window.

"Goodbye, young master!"

Several girls stood at the door and waved to him, looking reluctant, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Zhong Yi said with some confusion: "Why did you come back so late today, my husband? The food is cold. I'll go and heat it up for you."

"I slept a little longer this morning." Tang Ning walked to the table and said, "Don't bother, it's not too cold, just eat it like this."

Zhong Yi tested the temperature of the food and found that it was not very cold. She sat down opposite Tang Ning and said, "My husband, Princess Anyang invited me. I will go there with Miss Zhao tomorrow and come back later."

Princess Anyang has a wide network of contacts in the capital, and often holds various banquets with famous names, inviting prominent figures in the capital. Even Tang Ning participated in it once, and had a very unpleasant quarrel with Lu Teng.

Having a father who is the magistrate of Ping'an County means that she has entered the circle of famous ladies in the capital. It is necessary to make more friends.

When she was in Lingzhou, she was the most talented woman. She had many social occasions on weekdays, so she should be able to easily handle such a situation.

Tang Ning thought for a while and asked, "Where is the party place?"

"Tianranju." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "The guest is in Tianranju, and it is a guest from heaven. I have heard of the name of Tianranju before I came to the capital. The last time I went there was at night, so I didn't see the interior of the garden. This time I have to take a good look."

Although he believed in Xiaoyi, all circles in the capital were not peaceful, especially between women. When more than three women were together, intrigues were inevitable. Tang Ning was still a little worried about her.

He wanted to let Tang Yaoyao go with him, but Princess Anyang didn't invite her, so it was not good to come uninvited. After thinking about it, he decided to tell Su Mei and let her help take care of it when the time comes.

Su Fox is a smart person. She can handle ordinary occasions.

However, Xiaoyi told him this a little late, otherwise he could have told Su Mei yesterday. Now he has to go to Tianranju in person.

Tang Yaoyao walked in from outside and asked, "Have you finished writing your book?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What book?"

Tang Yaoyao frowned, "Didn't you say that you would write a volume in the evening and let them take it to print first?"

Tang Ning then remembered that he forgot to write the manuscript when he was chatting with Su Mei last night...

He looked at Tang Yaoyao and said, "It's already written. I'll check it again and give it to you in the afternoon."

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and suddenly asked, "You haven't written it yet, have you?"

"How is it possible?" Tang Ning frowned and looked at her, saying, "What kind of friendship do we have? You don't believe me. How about I take it out now and let you see it?"

Tang Yaoyao nodded and said, "Okay."

...

Tang Ning sat at the table writing the manuscript, and Tang Yaoyao sat opposite him and stared at him.

Tang Ning was very disappointed with her behavior. As a good friend and business partner, she didn't even give him the most basic trust. This made him hesitate in his heart. If there is any profitable business in the future, should he look for her?

After knowing each other for such a long time, Tang Yaoyao's trust in him is not as good as Su Mei, who has only known him for a few months. Su Huli dared to sleep in the same bed with him late at night. What kind of trust is this?

Tang Yaoyao knocked on the table and said loudly: "Why are you daydreaming? Write quickly!"

Tang Ning sighed, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write.

"In the love field of the past and present, who can ask who is sincere? But if there is sincerity, they will eventually become a couple. There is no need to worry about the south and the north, and the two hearts will discuss life and death. Laugh at the children of the world who are sad about the fate of stinginess and heartlessness. Feel the gold and stone, return to heaven and earth..."

It took Tang Ning half an hour to finish the first volume of "The Palace of Eternal Life". He rubbed his sore wrists and put down the pen, and found that Tang Yaoyao fell asleep on the table.

She was sleeping soundly with her hands on the table, lying on her side, with a faint glimmer at the corner of her mouth.

Tang Ning picked up the pen and resisted the urge to draw a turtle on her face after a while.

Relying on his martial arts skills, he actually forced her to write an article. If he was not worried that she would wake up and beat him up, he would have drawn this turtle.

He didn't dare to draw the turtle, but he could take revenge by pulling her face while she was asleep. After all, such opportunities don't come often.

Tang Ning looked around to make sure no one would come in, and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek and pull it, and Tang Yaoyao's eyes suddenly opened.

It only took a moment for her eyes to go from confused to clear. Tang Ning's expression remained unchanged and he said, "I've finished writing. I was just about to call you, but you woke up."

Tang Yaoyao sat up straight, looked at him and asked, "What did you want to do just now?"

"Call you to wake up, what else can I do?" Tang Ning handed her the first volume and said, "By the way, you have to ask them to print this volume quickly, as many as they can."

Tang Yaoyao rubbed her eyes and sat up, asking, "Why?"

Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "You're stupid. If you print less, others won't be able to buy it. When those pirated copies come out, customers will all buy theirs. How can we make money?"

He had already thought about the issue of piracy before he was ready to open a bookstore.

Chen State has no copyright protection law, so piracy is inevitable.

Selling in volumes, before they pirate, one volume every few days can maximize profits.

Naturally, the more copies of each volume, the better. After the piracy period, you can no longer make a lot of money.

Having sales experience in "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", Tang Ning can probably judge a more accurate supply and demand figure.

The best way is of course to license it to those pirates, but in this era there is no copyright protection, and only fools will use money to buy things that can be obtained for free.

"What?" Tang Yaoyao finally woke up, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Whoever dares to pirate our books, I will smash their store!"

"Calm down, calm down..." Tangning stood up, patted her shoulder, and said, "Violence won't solve the problem. If you smash up their store, they will still pirate copies, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Forget it." Tangning waved her hand. There were examples of copyright protection in ancient times, but he didn't have the strength and didn't want to take the risk.

There are so many pirated booksellers in the capital, and trying to get profits from them is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger, unless you are also a tiger yourself, or there is a tiger willing to help you.

Tangning was not a tiger herself, nor had she met another tiger.

Qing'er ran in from outside, put something on the table, and said, "Uncle, there is an invitation."

"Who sent the invitation?"

Qing'er shook her head and said, "I don't know. The yamen servant at the door sent it to me. I will know when I open it and take a look."

Tang Ning opened the invitation, and after a moment, she whispered: "Tomorrow afternoon, at Tianranju, will King Kang invite you to a banquet?"

Xiao Jue walked in from outside and asked, "Prince Kang has invited you too, are you going?"

"Go." Tangning nodded and said, "Why not go?"

Although he and King Kang are not in the same boat, they are on the same front. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They have the same goal, and it is normal for them to move around each other.

He looked at Xiao Jue again and said: "You came just in time, call all your people and help me move..."

Tang Ning actually didn't have much to move, just a few big boxes.

The house was repaired, but he hadn't had time to hire maids and servants. Xiaoyi would not move there for the time being. The third uncle and the third aunt bought a small house nearby, and Xiaoru moved in with them. Therefore, after getting married Before, there were only Tangning, Xiaoxiao, and the old beggar in the huge house.

He was very relieved that Master was here, so he didn't need to hire any nursing home.

It was late at night, and Tang Ning was lying on the big bed in her new house, sleeping soundly.

At the same time, in a room on the second floor of Hongxiu Pavilion, a figure was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
