Tell me the truth.

It's neither poetry nor strategy, and it's hard to be very stunning on the first page.

Unlike poetry, the first sentence may be able to echo in the ear, and the first paragraph of the argument can be deafening.

A book usually requires at least tens of thousands of words to be attracted to the plot inside, and may need more words if you want to be shocked.

Then why was this Zhulan Tianshan chief able to be shocked? Because the words in it are extremely testing of literary attainments.

And the sentences in "Dream of Red Mansions" are so excellent and amazing.

Any excerpt can become a golden sentence, not to mention the ubiquitous poems in it.

For example: full of absurd words, a handful of bitter tears. Duyun is an idiot, who understands the taste!

Another example: Everyone in the world knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget their fame. Where will the past and the present meet? A pile of grass is gone. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget. In the end, he only hated to gather much, and when he reached a long time, his eyes were closed.

did not deliberately sell words, but mostly used easy-to-understand sentences, but the insight into the world and human nature is simply profound.

The higher the level of appreciation, the easier it is to be intoxicated. And Zhu Lantian is undoubtedly a person with this level of top-level appreciation.

Many of these words have just been imprinted in my eyes, as if they are about to penetrate into my heart in an instant.

It's so well written.

That's great.

That's great......

He didn't know how to describe it, so he really could only use three.

Then he stood on the ground and continued to read page by page.

Completely tireless and intoxicated.

Of course, this is because he has a high level of appreciation and high literacy in writing, in fact, ordinary people may not like it so much.

In fact, Dream of Red Mansions is not so friendly to popular readers.

So you ask many people in later generations, even if they have a master's degree, a doctorate. You asked him if he had watched "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", most people would say that they had done so, and more than once.

But if you ask him if he has watched "Dream of Red Mansions"? Maybe many people will shake their heads and say, "I've watched it a few times, but I haven't finished it."

It's just that I know it's awesome, but I can't stand it. Just like "One Hundred Years of Solitude", I know it's super high, but it's actually hard for a lot of people to read.

And "Dream of Red Mansions" is really at the level of fairy grass for everyone like Zhu Lantian, the kind that doesn't know the taste of meat for three months after reading it.

This man reads books very quickly.

It's not that the faster you read, the less serious you are. He saw it very quickly, because of the first time, and then he would undoubtedly read it a second, a third, a fourth......

But even so, it took him two or three hours to finish the first volume of "The Stone".

Halfway through, the servant brought him a chair.

But he didn't sit down, and said directly that it was too disrespectful to sit and read such a book, and that he should read it standing up.

So, this stop lasted almost five hours.

....................................

After reading it for the first time, Zhu Lantian sat down, closed his eyes and quietly reminisced.

It's beautiful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.

I didn't expect that he would be seventy-five years old and still read such a book in his lifetime.

In this way, the past few years have not been wasted.

After sitting down and reflecting on it for a long time, he began to pace back and forth again.

It took a long time for him to see Ao Yu (the crane in the clouds) and was shocked.

Why is there still a person standing here?

Who are you?

Oh, this is Ao Yu, this is the author of this book.

Actually, Zhu Lan really wants to ask, did you write this book yourself?

But after all, he didn't ask it, because if he asked it, it would be tantamount to questioning the other party's character.

Besides, Ao Yu is a person, and it is actually appropriate to write this book.

Because his perennial life is very ridiculous, he is ridiculed, he was born in a wealthy family, but he is threatened with death all the time, he may die at any time, and he can also feel the cold of the world.

But it's really unbelievable that such an excellent script was written by a twenty-year-old gentleman.

He really didn't lie, this book is really a strange text for the ages.

You can't just ask if you wrote this book. But what to do about it?

Suddenly, Zhu Lantian said: "Young Master Ao Yu, follow me upstairs." ”

The crane in the cloud followed the old man up to the pavilion, and it was already dark at this time, and there was a river not far away.

Jiangzhou refers to the name Jiangzhou, because it is named Lanjiang by a river.

Although the Lanjiang River is not as long as the Tianjiang River and not so wide, it also stretches for thousands of miles.

And the Tianjiang River is wide and vast, but relatively stable.

This Lanjiang River is changeable, when it is in the west, the waves are turbulent, urgent and dangerous, and it is called the Nu River. In the east, the river becomes clear again, and most of the time it is as smooth as a mirror, so it is called the Lanjiang River.

The pavilion where Zhu Lantian lives is just not far from the Lanjiang River, and you can see the east of the river.

At this time, the sun is setting, and night has not yet fallen, but there are still many boats on the river that are already brightly lit.

In the sparkling waves, the river flows quietly eastward.

This scene seems prosperous and lonely!

Zhu Lantian said: "Ao Yu Gongzi, when you see this Lan Jiangdong, do you have poetry? ”

Yun Zhonghe knew that this was Lord Zhu Lantian to test his literary talent again, to see if he could really write such an ancient strange text as "The Story of Stones".

If it is revealed that he is plagiarizing, or he is looking for a gunman to write on his behalf, then Zhu Lantian will also be ruined.

The crane in the clouds said: "Go to the east of the big river and compose poems, right?"

"Yes. Zhu Lantian said: "One sentence is enough." ”

The crane in the clouds pondered for a moment and said: "Ask you how much sorrow you can have, it is just a river of spring water flowing eastward." ”

I...... My day!

I wish Lord Lantian a numb scalp.

Your talent, your literary thinking, is indeed like diabetes.

Do you want to be so bizarre? As soon as you say it, it's a century-old sentence?

Every time I hear these good words, I wish Lord Lantian a more acute physiological reaction. That is, the scalp is numb and creepy.

This is the first physiological reaction after listening to these good sentences, and then the spiritual resonance.

After a while, Zhu Lantian said, "This poem is too sad, can you be a little heroic?"

The crane in the cloud said: "The big river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the people of the ages are romantic." ”

I wish Lord Lantian once again had a numb scalp, it was too awesome, too amazing.

Then, he said: "This sentence is too heroic, can it not be so sad and not so heroic." ”

The crane in the clouds said: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." ”

Lord Zhu Lantian slapped the railing and said, "This sentence is good, this sentence is good." ”

This line of poetry completely spoke to his heart.

Ao Yu's three sentences are excellent, and even each sentence can make people creepy.

But the first sentence is too sad and sad, the love between children and children is long, and Lord Zhu Lantian doesn't like it very much.

And the second sentence is super well written, but it is too heroic, and it seems a little young and vigorous. Lord Zhu Lantian is old, and he no longer has these temperaments, and even he doesn't believe that there are any real heroes in this world.

No hero can withstand the ravages of time. It is not until the day when the coffin is closed that a person's merits and demerits can be determined.

And this third sentence completely went to his heart.

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

Zhu Lantian is seventy-five years old and has had a brilliant life, but he failed the struggle more than ten years ago and was kicked out of the court.

So in a way, his heart is both heroic and pessimistic.

He felt that no matter how powerful a person was, he couldn't withstand the years and history.

The vicissitudes of life, only the years are eternal.

"Is there anything else behind this poem?"

The crane in the clouds said: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

After listening to this passage, Zhu Lantian couldn't help but look at the sunset on the horizon, trembling all over, and old tears were all over the place.

This poem really went to his heart.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

He was a loser in the court struggle, and finally took charge of Tianyi Bookstore, and he lived for the rest of his life.

Although it still has a reputation, it has been far away from the center of the court for more than ten years. It's really unwilling, unwilling.

But if you are not reconciled, what can you do?

And Ao Yu's poem is the best consolation.

People must learn to reconcile with themselves, and learn to let go. You are haunted and bitter, and your enemies will only be happy, and even they have forgotten about you.

Zhu Lantian wiped away his tears and said tremblingly: "I didn't expect that at your young age, you turned out to be the old man's confidant, thank you for this song!"

The old man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said slowly: "From now on, the old man will be on your side." ”

Lord Zhu Lantian's voice was flat, but it was full of power.

"Ao Ming and you are competing for the position of Marquis of the Angry Waves, and I am on the side, like watching the fire from the other side, clearly. Zhu Lantian said: "Even if there are thousands of reasons, the methods they use are too dirty, and our court should not be like this." This is to take away people's business, if you have no interest, it's just that, but you are talented. In the long run, bad money drives out good money, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”

The crane in the cloud bowed down and said, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Zhu Lantian sighed: "I want to thank you, your last poem can relieve my depression for more than ten years." ”

Can it really be solved? Actually, it can't be solved.

This poem was written by the great genius of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen, when he was assigned to fill the army.

This is the real pride of heaven, even in the entire history of China.

The head of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, his father was Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was the sole ruler of power, and the Jiajing Emperor Dì Dū was established by him. For a long time, he was able to press the emperor Dì Dū to the ground and rub the super boss, and Yang Shen himself was the champion and the first, and he was famous all over the world.

However, such a proud son of heaven did not live a good life for a few years, and Emperor Jiajing defeated Yang Tinghe after passing the Great Gift Case.

After that, Yang Shen was unlucky, angering the emperor to be scepter, and then exiled to southern Yunnan for several decades.

So did this Lord Yang Shen really relieve his depression? Not necessarily.

Therefore, Lord Zhu Lantian can't solve it, at most he just chats for comfort.

Zhu Lantian said: "Ao Yu, the Yuedan evaluation is already considered pure, but it is not absolutely pure, and it will also be infected by power." You don't have to face Ao Ming alone, but a powerful power group. But don't worry, after all, the Yuedan review is controlled by Qingliu, and I will speak at the critical moment. ”

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much about this competition, you basically won. Zhu Lantian said: "Because your "Stone Record" and Ao Ming's "Jade City Story" are completely high-level judgments, as long as you are above the level of Xiucai, you can know that the level of the two is very different." The higher the level, the clearer this becomes. Whoever dares to say that "The Story of the Jade City" is better, it will basically be ruined, and no one dares to take such a risk. ”

Zhu Lantian's level of appreciation is extremely high.

He read all the first four volumes of "The Story of the Jade City", and he liked it very much, and felt that it was a huge work.

It's really well written, and it's the best book in Jiangzhou in the past ten years.

But books are such a thing, I'm afraid of comparison.

People are more angry than people, and goods are compared with goods, and goods must be thrown away.

It doesn't take 100,000 words, just 10,000 words, you can see that Ao Yu's "Stone Story" is better than "Jade City Story".

After reading 30,000 words, this feeling became even stronger.

When you see 100,000 words, you don't need to compare at all, because the gap is too big.

Comparing the two books side by side is simply an insult to "The Stone", and it is not a level of stuff at all.

It's excellent to watch "Tale of the Jade City" alone.

But if you put it together with "The Story of Stones", it really seems to be full of ingenuity.

Therefore, as long as the level is sufficient and the eyes are not blind, you can get a consistent judgment, and "The Story of the Stone" is far better than "The Story of the Jade City".

"Ao Yu, so you have to focus on the township test next, this is the most important thing. Zhu Lantian said: "You are smart, although you keep saying that you want to win the first place Xie Yuan, but in the declaration of war, you just say that you want to win the top three." Because of the first name Xie Yuan, the chance is too great, not only to look at the level, but also to look at the luck. ”

Then, Zhu Lantian said: "Ao Yu, how is your level of strategy?"

Although the imperial examination is divided into several parts, the policy theory has the greatest weight. If you want to win the first place, or even the top three, you must be extremely good at the strategy.

Yun Zhonghe said: "There is no problem. ”

Zhu Lantian said: "How does it compare to your poetry level?"

The crane in the cloud said: "It's comparable." ”

Zhu Lantian said: "Why didn't you show it before?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "I didn't have a chance to perform before, and the world only looked at me as ridiculous every day, didn't see that I was filial to my parents, didn't see that I also liked to read, and I knew that I liked to go to the low-level hook bar to complete the 10,000 beheadings." ”

Zhu Lantian said: "That's okay, so I can run with all my might." ”

Running for what?

Of course, it is the chief examiner and several deputy examiners of the autumn examination.

At least not all of them are enemy people, in case the examiner is an enemy person, it is too late to find a way to create an incident and get him down.

Several examiners don't necessarily want to favor Ao Yu, but at least they can't suppress him.

And this is Lord Zhu Lantian's strengths, and the scientific expedition has always been regarded as the home of Qingliu officials. Although he failed in the struggle and was kicked out of the court, after all, he served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for several years, and there are still many protégés.

Although Lin Xiang has great power, he can't cover the sky with one hand.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Teacher, I came to see you, but I didn't actually want to publish a book in Tianyi Library. ”

"I know. Zhu Lan Tiandao: "Your book can't be published in Tianyi Library, you will be authorized by human rights like that, and it will be very inconvenient for me to speak for you in the future." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "So this book, I plan to print it myself, and everything is done in secret." It wasn't until the day it was listed that the true content of "The Stone" was officially revealed. I would even actually find a bookseller and print another book to hide it. ”

"The Story of the Stone" kills Ao Ming's "The Story of the Jade City" without any suspense.

Almost as soon as it came out, it was an absolute spike, and it was a one-sided spike.

Therefore, secrecy is especially important, and until the day of release, no one can see the true content of "The Stone".

"Teacher, I want to borrow a workshop from you, and I need hundreds of carvers and hundreds of printers to work secretly in a completely closed environment. Yun Zhonghe said: "Until the day the book is officially released, they can regain their freedom and leave the workshop." ”

Zhu Lantian thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is no problem, but this requires your family to send the most trusted warrior to block the workshop." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "There is no problem. ”

Zhu Lantian said: "Without further ado, you can do it immediately." ”

The crane in the cloud bowed down and said, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Zhu Lantian was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not completely for you, but also for myself. I lost to the one surnamed Lin, but my students can beat his students, and even defeat him in the future. ”

When Zhu Lantian said this, he didn't hide his emotions much.

He became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in his forties, and he was only one step away from entering the cabinet.

If this continues, he can even become the prime minister of the cabinet and stay in charge of the cabinet for more than ten years.

As a result, he was framed by the surname Lin, not only lost his future, but was also driven out of the center of the imperial court, trapped in Tianyi Bookstore for more than ten years, and there was no hope of recovery.

People like him did not go to the cabinet to pay respects, which is completely a lifelong regret and an irreparable regret.

That Lin Xiang ruined his ideals, his future, and his life.

With such a deep hatred, how can he wish Lan Tian to let go?

I want to take revenge, but I can't find a force point at all. And now the crane in the clouds came to him and gave him an excellent point of strength.

How could Lord Zhu Lantian give up?

At this point, the crane in the clouds has found its first true ally, and it is a powerful ally.

....................................

With the help of Zhu Lantian, the manuscript of "The Stone Record" was sent to the secret workshop, and hundreds of carvers were in full swing to engrave the plates, and hundreds of other workers prepared the paper and ink, and as soon as the engraving was completed, it was immediately printed.

The first batch of books doesn't need much, 20,000 will do.

And if it were for other bookstores, it would be difficult to print 20,000 books in a short period of time. But for Tianyi Bookstore, it is effortless.

This is a super workshop that prints millions of copies every year.

On the other hand, Yun Zhonghe secretly found another bookseller to print another book.

Well, actually, this book is not bad, not really bad.

Its name is "The Story of Baoyu and a Hundred Beauties", so which book is it copied from?

It is also a strange book in ancient China, the super famous "Jade P Group".

If "Jin X Mei" still has a high literary and artistic value, then this "Jade P Group" is really a pure glamorous book.

It is also very famous, and there are at least dozens of movies about it in later generations. The fame of the actor Weiyangsheng is only slightly weaker than that of Ximen Qing.

Yun Zhonghe processed the book a little bit, and it became more explicit. And the actor's name has also been changed, not called Weiyangsheng, but Weibaoyu.

And also prepared an extremely realistic and seductive cover.

When the bookseller got the manuscript, he thought it was a treasure.

He kept saying that if he guaranteed a big fire, he would definitely make a big fire, and he would sell at least 50,000 or 80,000 copies.

Rich, rich!

Of course, there is another sentence he didn't say, this "The Story of Baoyu and a Hundred Beauties" is definitely far inferior to "The Story of the Jade City".

But so what? Ao Yu loses what does it matter to him, he just needs to make a fortune himself.

....................................

Time passed day by day.

March 30 is getting closer.

Public opinion has also fermented to the extreme, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Although both books have not yet been released, there are already rumors.

Ao Ming's last volume of "The Story of the Jade City" is extremely well written, and it has risen a step up from the previous four volumes.

Whether it is poetry, words, or ideas, they have all been greatly improved.

Can it not be promoted? Lin Xiang sent more than a dozen great Confucians to check and revise Ao Ming's manuscript word by word.

This is no longer the work of Ao Ming alone, but a collection of the wisdom of more than a dozen Confucians.

Can that sentence not be amazing? Can that poem not be gorgeous?

Therefore, they are going to the goal of creating a masterpiece that will not be encountered in a hundred years.

And Ao Yu's works have also been leaked. Although there is no specific content, the engraving worker said.

It is extremely vulgar, extremely gorgeous, and unsightly.

Ao Ming also infiltrated the bookseller's workshop and read "The Story of Baoyu and a Hundred Beauties".

When the man returned, his face was red.

"How? How is it written?" asked Ancestor Ao Ting.

"Uh! vulgar, glamorous, unsightly. The clerk said.

Old Ancestor Ao Ting said: "Can it be compared with "The Story of the Jade City"?"

The clerk said: "I don't even have the qualifications to carry shoes, and even anyone who writes such a book should have their hands and feet broken, it's too bad, it's too low, it's too bad." ”

So, everyone knew that Ao Yu, the son of the Marquis of Angry Waves, really wrote a book of super poisonous weeds.

This word spread more and more.

In the end, it was rumored to be a book written by Ao Yu, and you will be blind at a glance.

When a woman looks at it, she becomes a watery poplar.

In short, it is rotten to the extreme, and vulgar to the sky.

Originally, there was no suspense in this competition, but now it is even more certain.

Ridiculous Ao Yu, he really deserves to be the first waste in the world, and he actually wrote such a vulgar and rotten book.

Do you still want to compare it with Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City"? It really makes people laugh out of their big teeth, and they are really ignorant and stupid to the extreme.

As for your rotten book, you don't even have the qualifications to be placed with "The Story of the Jade City".

And the members of the Yuedan Review Organization also let out the words, that kind of vulgar book, don't send it to them, for fear of dirty eyes.

So both books haven't been released yet, but they're already completely popular.

Ao Yu is also popular, but it is notorious.

But to tell the truth, many people are really full of expectations for his extremely vulgar book, he is a low-level hook column and a person who beheads thousands of people, and the text he writes, even if it is extremely rotten, must be very special.

But this talent competition between Ao Yu and Ao Ming, in everyone's hearts, has ended before it has even begun. It's not a question of winning or losing, but Ao Yu doesn't even have the qualifications to come to power.

..........................................

March 29th!

The release of the two books is only one day away.

But everyone has ignored Ao Yu's "Stone Record", although they are still extremely curious, and they will definitely see how bad and vulgar it is.

But as a cultural event, Ao Yu's book is not eligible to be named.

Everyone's talented and beautiful people are looking forward to the fifth volume of Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City".

Even ten hours in advance, they lined up at various bookstores.

It's a real spectacle. Outside every bookstore, there was a long queue.

It is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of people are queuing up in the entire Jiangzhou City, all in order to buy Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City" for the first time.

When many scalpers saw this, they also hurriedly sent people to line up, and after they bought it, they doubled it and sold it, and they would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Because various bookstores have already said that there are only 50,000 copies of "The Story of the Jade City" in the first batch, it is necessary to limit the sale, and everyone can only buy one.

So it's sure to be snatched up.

Ao Ming and Ao Ting are amazing, they know how to starve at this time.

And those famous prostitutes are even more awesome.

Since yesterday I have not eaten and only drank water.

Next, I will bathe and burn incense, and then read Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City".

In terms of hype, you are still at the forefront of the times.

In short, in the past few days, the entire Jiangzhou cultural circle, everything has to be left behind.

There is only one focal point, and that is Ao Ming, as well as the fifth volume of his "Tale of the Jade City".

..........................................

March 30 is here!

The sun has just risen, and the major bookstores have opened.

Crowds poured into the bookstore.

Everyone rushed to the bookshelf and snapped up the fifth volume of "The Tale of the Jade City".

For this reason, the Taishou Mansion had to send officials to the largest bookstores to help maintain order.

"Queue, queue, queue. ”

"Everyone can only buy one copy at most, not more, not more. ”

Although I had imagined that the sales of the fifth volume of "Tales of the Jade City" would be very popular, I did not expect it to be so popular.

It's not about buying books anymore, it's just a fad. But if you can read and write, if you don't read "The Story of the Jade City", you will be outdated, and you will not be worthy of chatting with us.

People in later generations should be no strangers to this situation, grab the iPhone, grab the coconut shoes, and grab the AJ.

In less than half an hour!

All the bookstores in Jiangzhou City have hung up a big sign: The fifth volume of the Jade City Chronicles, which has been sold out.

Damn, 50,000 copies, it was sold out in just half an hour.

It's awesome, it's so hot in the city!

Ao Ming, this is going to heaven!

The status of Jiangzhou's No. 1 talent can no longer be shaken?

By the way, what about Ao Yu? Where is this clown who jumps off the beam? Isn't he claiming to take away the title of the number one talent?

Where is his book? What about his Stones?

........................

Note: The first update is that the epidemic is serious, so please take care of your health, wash your hands frequently, and wear masks in public. Peace be to all and thank you.
