74 "The Story of the Stone" officially released
After throwing the "bait", Chu Tianxiu patted her butt and slid out of Xuanwu Temple, and came outside the temple gate to watch the temple fair.
Old Doctor Chunyu is so arrogant that he writes "no desires and no desires" on his face, which is more calm than Old Tale Li, and he will never be able to win it overnight.
He was not in a hurry if he hooked up for a while.
In the open space outside the temple, there is a huge glazed archway. This archway is made of yellow and green colored glass bricks and tiles with reliefs. It is about two meters high and three or four meters wide, standing in front of the temple.
A large number of people gathered near the Beifang.
The street is already very lively. Many young men and ladies invited me to visit the temple fair.
After praying devoutly in the temple, I wandered around the temple fair.
Chu Tianxiu left the temple and soon found Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er.
They were buying bamboo leaf windmills, candied haws, glutinous rice cakes, laughing and all kinds of interesting gadgets.
The streets of temple fairs were already crowded.
A group of people were dancing dragons and lions. The male lion bit a small red hydrangea, wandering towards the crowd, showing off his treasures.
There was a bold child who reached out to touch the lion's head, which made the crowd laugh.
"Son-in-law, come and see!"
Joo discovered the baby and was surprised.
But I saw a young scholar setting up a calligraphy and painting stall on the street, "selling paper".
But what he sold was not the blank Hunhou paper, but wrote a new poem Hunhou poem on Hunhou paper and drew several simple paintings of human scenery.
On each piece of dark marquis paper, there is a picture of a lady. They lean against the window, either looking at the view of the chrysanthemums outside the window, sadly.
I sold the paper tape and paintings, and I added 100 to 20 coins of copper, but I actually sold a lot.
Many wealthy ladies in Jinling City liked this new poem about Hunhou. After reading the painting, they felt it suited the scene and were extremely happy, so they paid for it.
"Master Yan?"
Chu Tianxiu recognized the scholar and said in surprise: "Why are you selling paintings here? Aren't you the county magistrate who passed the palace examination? This is the county magistrate, and you still lack money?"
"I have met the little marquis and princess below!"
When the master Yan saw that it was a little Hunhou, he immediately stood up in a hurry, with a look of shame on his face and said, "It is not easy to live in Jinling. It costs a lot of money per month. My family is poor and I have not yet taken office. I have no money left.
I happened to understand the skills of calligraphy and painting, so I sold paintings here and earned some money to survive these days.
Thanks to the new poem "The Little Marquis" by the Hunhou, it is sad and pitiful. There are too many daughters in Jinling City, otherwise no one would care about selling paintings. In the past few days, I have earned a tael of silver."
"Will the court pay a fee for taking office? Should there be some money?"
"I paid ten taels of Anjia and travel expenses. However, I borrowed some silver from Brother Dong before, and most of them paid him back. The remaining fees are not much, so try to save as much as possible."
The master's father Yan was excluded by many Confucian scholars and scholars in Jinling City. He had almost no friends except Dong Xianliang.
If the Dameng had not ordered Yang Chu to help him, he would have been poor enough to get out of Jinling City.
Although he passed the county magistrate's examination, he took office for one month, and the court did not have the practice of paying food, salary and salary in advance.
I guess the court did not expect that there would be such a county magistrate who would become poor.
In the imperial capital of the Great Chu where kings and princes are everywhere, and officials are all over the streets, no one will curry favor with him, a small county magistrate who has not taken office.
The poor county magistrate lived in the imperial city of Jinling, and renting a house for a living was also very difficult.
"oh!"
Chu Tianxiu then realized it.
This father Yan has been excluded for many years and has a strong self-esteem, so he is afraid he is unwilling to be favored by others. The county magistrate wants money and can only get the job.
However, this made him see that papermaking business opportunities are changing again.
Someone started the paper calligraphy and painting business so soon!
This is a good phenomenon, which means that the people in Jinling City have greatly increased their acceptance of paper calligraphy and painting.
He could prepare and change from simply selling Hunhou paper to selling books and paintings.
However, the ones who bought the new poems of Hunhou were all beautiful, rich and sensitive daughters from Jinling City.
In this way, his readers are all young ladies!
Chu Tianxiu asked Zuer to buy a few calligraphy and paintings of Hunhou's new poems and take them home to enjoy them.
...
Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, Zuer, Dier and others traveled around the temple fair and had a lot of fun. It was not until the evening that they returned to the Hunhou Mansion.
In the early days of the first lunar month, I was so busy that I was busy with the palace banquet, going back to the gate, and praying for blessings in the temple fair.
After the temple fair, nothing big happened.
There are ten days left before the Qinhuai River Lantern Festival Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chu Tianxiu finally got a little leisurely.
When he returned to Yuyuan, Zuer remembered the unfinished story on New Year's Eve, and pestered Chu Tianxiu again, telling the stories of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in "The Story of the Stone".
Of course, Li Yu and Di'er were also very interested and wanted to listen together.
Chu Tianxiu thought about it, but they couldn't remember it even if they talked it once, and they would go back and talk again in the future.
Just write it down.
Anyway, it is convenient to have the hunchback paper.
The sales of Hunhou Paper have recently entered a bottleneck period. After all, only scholars in Jinling City bought books, and ladies and ladies would buy them.
Although the profit of this Hunhou Paper is extremely high, its sales are limited and it doesn’t make much money.
The most tricky thing is that the ancient books before the Qin Dynasty were all short and refined, and a few hundred words per article is normal.
For example, "The Book of Songs" has nearly 40,000 words and "The Analects of Confucius" has 10,000 words. These tens of thousands of words are considered a long and magnificent work, and it cannot bring about the sales of Hunhou Paper!
In order to save dozens of copper coins, those stingy scholars wrote the characters as small as mosquitoes and flies.
"I'll have a long and million-word book, one book worth dozens of you. See how you can save paper!"
Chu Tianxiu licked her lips.
He started writing from the first chapter according to the chapter of "The Story of Stone". He wrote a chapter and read a chapter for Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er.
Li Yu was surprised and watched it repeatedly, and couldn't let go of it.
It was not enough to read it, so the three of them simply started copying books in front of the original text, so that each of them had one, and they read their own books without having to compete for it.
Copying books is one of the things that ancient scholars like to do the most.
In ancient times, there were too many poor scholars who had no books to read. They went to visit wealthy families and wealthy families with rich collections just to copy books.
If you copy a rare treasure, you will be even more ecstatic and it will be delicious if you don’t eat for three days.
In order to enrich their collections, the rich families often hired a group of scholars to copy books. In ancient times, books were more precious than silver. When the rich families moved, they brought dozens of carts of books, which was extremely spectacular.
Aristocratic scholars and ladies naturally have this habit.
There is nothing to do at night, and under the candle, I copy books when I have nothing to do.
The super long romance novel of "The Story of the Stone" is like a giant, and the love between Brother Baoyu and Miss Daiyu is heart-wrenching.
After Chu Tianxiu's books, they no longer had the intention to care about the affairs outside Yuyuan. They all stayed in Yuyuan these days and copied the "Stone Story".
For Li Yu, Zuer, Di Er and others, it was something new that they had never seen before. It was undoubtedly a bombshell, with bright eyes and couldn't put it down if you picked it up.
"Zoer, I've finished copying this for the second time, I'll copy it for you."
"I'm copying the third round, it's ready soon!"
"Son-in-law, you're writing too slowly, hurry up and write the sixth round.
I have watched this fifth chapter of "Traveling in the Fantasy Realm to Mistake the Twelve Beauties Drinking the Fairy Wine" ten times!"
Zuer shouted to the study.
In this chapter, Baoyu and Daiyu are fighting spirit out. Jia Baoyu enters the inner room of Qin's wife, the wife of Jia Rong, to rest, and travels to Taixu's illusion in his dream, and meets the Twelve Beauties of Jinling Fairy.
She was not satisfied with watching it and was anxious to see the next time.
"Don't urge, don't urge, my sixth chapter is coming out soon, "Jia Baoyu's first test of Yunyu Love Liu Laolao as soon as she enters Rongguo Mansion", I will definitely make you happy!"
Chu Tianxiu shouted loudly.
The three girls were shocked when they heard this.
First...the first test of the relationship between clouds and rain?
This...this next chapter is so fierce and so exciting!
Each of them had a flying cloud on their faces, and they kept scolding. The son-in-law was not a good person, it was so bad! He seduced people in the book.
What are the Twelve Beauties of Jinling and what are the Yunyu? He didn't do it on purpose!
However, the writing was too exciting and so satisfying, they still couldn't help but want to read it in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
