In Qingzhou, a new thing that has never appeared before suddenly became popular, and it became popular in various state capitals, counties and counties!

Zihua Book House!

As if overnight, this chain of bookstores that opened in various prefectures, counties and counties in Qingzhou quickly brought people endless novel experiences.

People didn't expect that there are so many twists and turns, strange and magnificent, suspenseful, and eye-opening stories in this world.

In these "Story Meetings", there are also touching chicken soup for the soul, which has allowed countless people to find the motivation to overcome dangers and move forward, and re-find the meaning and true meaning of life.

The "Zihua Anthology", which is a must-buy for literati, contains thousands of high-quality poems and songs, and article discussions, which have greatly improved the humanistic atmosphere of the intellectual class and the overall level of poetry appreciation, especially Tian Zihua's poems, which have reached the level that "where literati and ink writers gather, they must hear the sound of Zihua's poetry". Although most of the poems and songs in the "Zihua Anthology" were not written by Tian Zihua himself, a small part of them belonged to the essence of Tian Zihua's writings, and became a famous article that countless literati must memorize in Qingzhou.

Tian Zihua, "Haiping Literary Immortal", has become an idol figure in Qingzhou, a group of literati and ink writers, known to everyone.

As for "Comics", don't ask me how popular I am, every middle and end of the month, go to the door of Zihua Bookstore, and look at the length of the queue to buy comics. And the wonderful stories in "Comics" are also like TV with 100% ratings, every time it is released, in every city, in the streets and alleys, you can hear the sound of plot discussion and the exclamation of "wow".

Except for some old antiques that are difficult to accept new things, "comics" have become the most fanatical extracurricular reading books for young and middle-aged intellectuals, men, women, especially teenagers, and comic books, such as game consoles and Internet cafes that have just come out...... The small cartoon has become the culprit of the tension between countless children and their parents.

It is precisely because of this that Haiping Wenxian Tian Zihua has been blacklisted by countless parents, and he has cursed countless times on the street, forcing Tian Zihua to add a sentence on the cover of each issue of comics: "Children don't read comics".

In just one year, the sales of the three kinds of reading materials in Zihua Bookstore have increased by more than 10 times from an average of less than 1,000 copies per issue at the beginning.

In December, the eighteenth issue of the semi-monthly magazine was released, and after the sales data statistics, the sales of the three books in this issue were: "Story Club", which sold 13,000 copies, "Zihua Anthology", which sold 15,000 copies, and "Comics", which sold 17,000 copies.

These data are very amazing, because the price of books in this world is generally still very high, and the fact that it can sell so much shows its popularity on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also shows that there are many rich people and intellectuals, indicating that the literacy rate in this world is not as low as Zhou Ming imagined.

And in order to increase sales and expand its influence, the three kinds of reading materials in Zihua Bookstore are sold at a lower price than pirated books (mainly because of the printing cost of Zihua Printing Factory, which makes piracy unprofitable), in order to minimize readers' reading expenses, Zihua Bookstore also provides "half-price recycling, low-price rental" service, that is, readers buy a reading material, and after reading it, they can return the purchased reading materials at half the price, and Zihua Bookstore will recycle these half-price reading materials, and then provide rental services at a lower price......

Relying on various means, Zihua Bookstore has countless die-hard readers, not to mention, and even achieved more than 98% of the bookstore's profit, and the profit amount is considerable.

……

years later.

The twenty-third year of Tiansheng, the third day of the first month.

Qingzhou, Hedong County, Anping Cuijia.

The richly decorated and extraordinarily festive Cui family compound is going to have an unusually distinguished guest today.

In order to welcome this distinguished guest from afar, the Cui family, in accordance with the highest specifications, prepared in advance for many days, the patriarch personally stood at the door and waited, and saw that in the vast snow, the horse was dragged, decorated with colorful decorations, and the gorgeous carriage among the dozens of martial artists around the guards appeared, one by one, and was excited: "It's coming, it's finally here." ”

At the entrance of the compound.

On the gorgeous carriage, a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes embroidered with peonies, lightly lifting the skirt, gently stepping on the carpet spread to the feet, a young woman wearing a pure white fox fur on one shoulder, with a square demeanor and a cold temperament, Fengmu saw the people waiting at the door, and the magnificent and magnificent arrangement in the courtyard, inadvertently, the eyebrows frowned slightly.

"I really don't want to come to this place. ”

As the noble daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, Zhongzhou, she left two months in advance, traveled 3,000 miles, and came to Qingzhou, a branch of the Cui family, Cui Yunhua was not happy, but the family was short of manpower, so she always had to send a little weight to the children, and at this point in the New Year's Festival, visit this branch of the Cui family - even if this branch is so remote that a bird does not.

No one is willing to come, Cui Yunhua can only take the initiative to ask Ying, for his father and brother to share the worries, because the task of provincial relatives can be counted as family contributions, if the effect of provincial relatives is good, and the ties of distant relatives and side branches are stabilized, it can bring a lot of benefits to the family, and it will also improve the status of those who complete the task in the clan...... It was precisely because of these points that Cui Yunhua, who had been smart since childhood, took over the arduous task of everyone in the family who was grateful to her.

But......

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, as an important side branch of the Qinghe Cui family, Anping Cui's various performances made her very disappointed.

Take the pomp and circumstance that greeted her today, it is too vulgar and undecent, first of all, no matter how noble the guests are, the patriarch and elders do not need to greet them at the door in person, and secondly, those servants and maids are standing casually, happy with their colors, and some of their eyes are obscene and demented, which makes her feel like she has eaten a fly...... There is also the layout of the courtyard, which is golden and red, extremely cheesy, and the layout is not exquisite, and she can pick out a hundred inappropriate places.

"Anping Cui Clan, is it indeed a branch of the Qinghe Cui Clan? Even if it is, it must be that kind of maid vein, right?"

There is a huge gap, Cui Yunhua is quite proud of her good family education on the one hand, and on the other hand, after this provincial parent, she decided that she would never take this kind of provincial task in the future.

However, no matter how much he complained in his heart, Cui Yunhua, who looked as usual, still maintained the basic etiquette, and personally sent a bag of homeland and a tree root brought from Zhongzhou, and Cui Ping, the patriarch of the Cui clan in Anping, gave back a branch and a bag of apricot fruits...... After a polite greeting from the guest and host, they entered the Cui family's compound together.

After living for three days in a row, Cui Yunhua barely adapted to the environment here, she was still well entertained, the Cui family, young and old, meticulous care, all kinds of requirements to meet, but also got a lot of local specialties for her to taste, she felt very good, such as the kind of Haiping dried fish, Haiping whale meat, etc., the taste is good, there is a taste of the sea.

In the past two days, Cui Yunhua has also used her noble temperament, elegant manners, and proper conversation, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, but also makes the Cui family ashamed of themselves, and sighs in private: It is worthy of being the noble son of the family, and the child of Anping's side lineage, it is not as good as it.

Therefore, the invisible sense of distance made Cui Yunhua, in the past two days, in Anping Cui's house, not meet a few friends who can be talked to, most of them stop at polite politeness, she is also used to this kind of politeness, and she doesn't need to meet any friends here......

However, in the Cui family's compound, there is an innocent, fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who always likes to pester her and not say anything, and also shows her several miscellaneous books that she loves to read.

These kinds of miscellaneous books, the cover names are very strange, what are they called "Story Club", "Zihua Anthology", "Comics" and the like, she has never read them, but she is treasured by this girl as a treasure, and she strongly recommends them to herself...... Cui Yunhua, who was extremely bored, opened a miscellaneous book that children love to read, with the mentality of glancing......

Cui Yunhua, who had only finished reading more than a dozen books after reading for two days and two nights, rubbed his sore apricot eyes and asked the girl, "Rou'er, why haven't I ever read these books?" Where did you buy them? Can you take your sister to buy some and come back?"

In a few days, her provincial mission will be completed, and she wants to take dozens of these miscellaneous books back to Zhongzhou and read them slowly on the way back.

Cui Rou, who was dressed in a pink skirt, shook her head and said glutinously: "Now these books in Zihua Bookstore have been sold out, and I can't buy them! Unless, let my cousin send you a set!"

After speaking, she mysteriously leaned into Cui Yunhua's ear and whispered: "Sister Yunhua, let me tell you a secret, Zihua Bookstore, opened by my cousin, my cousin Tian Zihua is the author of the books you read, and the comics he draws, I like to read it the most!"

After speaking, she proudly puffed up her small chest and smiled to reveal two small tiger teeth.

What the?

Cui Yunhua stared at him, and hurriedly found a few copies of "Story Meeting", "Zihua Anthology" and "Comics", and sure enough, he saw the words "Mr. Zihua" at the pen names of many authors.

She asked eagerly, "These books and comics were all created by your cousin? Your cousin is 'Mr. Zihua'? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Cui Rou's mouth pursed, and she suddenly said unhappily: "Sister Yunhua, why should I lie to you, Mr. Zihua, it's really my cousin, I didn't lie to you!"

"Cousin Zihua is here!"

"Cousin Zihua brought a lot of gifts!"

"Cousin Zihua, you want to kill me!"

Outside the Cui family's compound, there was a sudden bustle of excitement, and in the calm compound, after hearing a name, it was as if the pot had exploded, and everyone ran desperately to the front yard, cheering one by one, extremely lively.

"Ahh

The girl in front of her suddenly screamed, her legs were like taut clockwork, and she bounced out of the house quickly, shouting as she ran: "Brother Zihua, my gift!" Without the slightest demeanor of a noble lady of the family, Cui Yunhua was startled, and she was stunned.

After a long time, she muttered, "Mr. Zihua, what kind of character is it?"
