The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?
Chapter 31: Seventh Night Poetry Meeting
open source bookstore
Seeing Xu Qing coming in, the shopkeeper of the bookstore warmly welcomed Xu Qing in: "Oh, my lord, you're here."
Then he told the clerk in the bookstore: "Quick! Get the tea ready!"
Then he greeted Xu Qing and said, "Sir, please sit down quickly."
Today's shopkeeper of the bookstore was a little unusually enthusiastic, which made Xu Qing a little puzzled.
Last time, the shopkeeper of the bookstore was only a little more enthusiastic about Own, with good manners.
But today, she was as enthusiastic as a family, which made Xu Qing wonder if the shopkeeper had some serious illness.
Xu Qing sat on a seat and asked, "How are the books selling?"
The shopkeeper of the bookstore smiled happily: "The supply exceeds the demand! The supply exceeds the demand! Young Master, I don't know. In today's Yongzhou City, there may be people who don't know Kaiyuan Bookstore, but there is absolutely no one who doesn't know about "Shooting the Condors"!"
Just at this time, several young people came in, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, is there a follow-up to "Shooting the Condors"?"
The shopkeeper stood up and shook his head and said, "Not yet, my lord, please go home and wait patiently. We will start selling it as soon as Shooting Condors is published."
"Dog thief Yanwu, it's too short to write a storybook! Don't be a son of man!"
"That's right, don't let me catch him! If I catch him, I'll tie him to a chair and feed him if I don't write a hundred chapters a day!"
"Brother Tai is so kind, if it were me, I would cut off his legs, so that he can only write scripts on a chair for the rest of his life!"
After complaining, the last few people said in unison: "Shameless old thief!"
The shopkeeper of the bookstore and Xu Qing looked at each other... a little embarrassed.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore said awkwardly: "Why don't you come with me to talk inside, so you won't be affected by your mood outside."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go."
Actually is not afraid that the shadow will not affect the mood. Seeing the book selling so hot does not exist in a bad mood. I am afraid that it will affect my own safety...
People in this era really dare to do things that modern people can only talk about.
Just like Xu Qing next door, because they fell in love with the same woman, a murder case happened.
Then the murderer in the prison heard the news that his beloved woman married someone else a few days ago...
If Xu Qing happened to be next door, this case might become unsolved.
There are a lot of unsolved cases in the Yamen every year. Because of technical problems, many cases cannot be solved at all.
Terrible ancients!
Although it is unlikely that this group of men in scholar robes could do such a thing, we have to guard against it!
What if one of them happens to be mentally ill? !
inner hall
Xu Qing sat on a chair and put a stack of manuscripts on the table and said, "This is the manuscript for next month."
The shopkeeper of the bookstore took out twenty taels of silver from the cabinet and said, "My lord, this money is the manuscript fee for your batch of manuscripts, please keep it."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the bookstore stuffed twenty taels of silver into Xu Qing's arms.
Xu Qing looked at the twenty taels of silver and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you set a roll of seven taels of silver?"
The shopkeeper of the bookstore shook his head and said: "How can you be worthy of such a good story as the young master?! The story of the young master has helped our bookstore make so much money. If I return the mere seven taels of silver to the young master, I really have a bad conscience." what!"
Xu Qing was naturally very happy when someone gave more money.
From seven taels to twenty taels, more than doubled!
After returning home, Su Qian was already waiting for him.
Seeing Xu Qing with a happy expression on his face, Suqian frowned suspiciously and said, "Where have you been?"
Xu Qing said: "I went to the bookstore to hand in the manuscript for next month."
Su Qian was slightly taken aback after hearing this. She hasn't sent the next month's money to the shopkeeper of the bookstore. Xu Qing's retouching fee will not change from seven taels to two taels, right? !
But Xu Qing didn't notice the mysterious expression on Su Qian's face and said: "Boss, do you know how much money the shopkeeper of the bookstore gave me?"
Su Qian pursed her lips and said, "No...it can't be Erliang?"
Xu Qing shook his head and smiled, "Twenty taels! I sold it for twenty taels!"
Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the number, and then said, "Then congratulations."
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian with some emotion and said, "At the beginning it was the boss who led the subordinates to this road, if it wasn't for the boss..."
Su Qian shook her head lightly and said, "There is no need to talk about the past. By the way, are the poems to be used in the poetry meeting tonight ready?"
"Poetry meeting? What poetry meeting?" Xu Qing was a little puzzled when she heard Su Qian's words, but then she was taken aback: "Today is the poetry meeting?! So fast!"
Ever since she lost her mobile phone and clock, Xu Qing seldom keeps track of the time, but she never thought that this day would come so quickly!
For some reason, seeing Xu Qing like this, Su Qian felt quite uncertain...
She looked at Xu Qingdu: "Be serious! Are you ready for Qixi Ci?!"
Xu Qing said awkwardly: "This...when...of course it's ready..."
Although Xu Qing can't write any good poems, he is different from the talented scholars of this era in that he stands on the shoulders of titans.
...
This description is not appropriate.
He didn't stand on the shoulders of titans, he built a villa on the shoulders of many titans to live in!
Then Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and asked, "Boss, are you going too?"
He always thought that Su Qian, a slob, had already pushed away the poetry meeting. After all, Su Qian was like him, and almost this kind of social meeting was pushed as soon as he could.
Su Qian nodded and said, "If I don't go, do you know the way?"
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed after hearing this, he really didn't know the way to leave Su Qian.
At night, Xu Qing also changed into a white scholar's robe, which he had just recently made in Buzhuang.
In this era, there are no ready-made clothing shops, only cloth shops, or you can buy cloth at home and make it yourself.
If you don't want to do it yourself, there are also embroiderers who specialize in sewing clothes for customers in the cloth shop. Every piece of clothing can be said to be tailor-made.
It's just a little less efficient.
Su Qian was still wearing the same white skirt that she attended the poetry meeting last time, and her hair was still in a simple ponytail.
He has no ornaments on his body, and he has never used a hairpin in his hair.
I haven't combed my hair in a bun, nor used any rouge and gouache.
The whole person has that plain face feeling.
However, even without makeup, Xu Qing already looks stunning in the world.
Walking to the entrance of a garden, Su Qian said: "In order to avoid other people's gossip, you go in here, and I go in through the side door, and you and I will meet here when the poetry meeting is over."
Xu Qing nodded, then handed the invitation to the servants at the side and walked in by himself.
"Brother Xu, are you coming to the poetry meeting?"
Hearing this voice, Xu Qing turned around and saw Xiao Ye standing behind him. Beside Xiao Ye was Xiao Ruxue who was obviously shorter than Xiao Ye.
