Those who had already bought the fifth volume of "Tales of the Jade City" couldn't wait to read it with all their eagerness, and could hardly wait even a minute.

So inside the bookstore, and on the streets outside, there were people squatting on the ground and reading.

And then I quickly reveled in it, completely intoxicated.

Oh my God?

It's so well written, so good-looking.

Originally, many people were worried that the quality of Ao Ming's fifth volume would decline. Not a decline, to be precise, but the absence of a huge improvement.

Because the hype is too hot, the expectations of the public for this book are extremely high.

But Ao Ming really didn't disappoint them, it was really outstanding.

Whether it is the normal words or the poems in it, they are more than a step higher than before.

It's outstanding.

Some even read tears because it was so touching.

Sure enough, the only person who can defeat Ao Ming Gongzi is himself.

Ao Ming Gongzi, the absolute first talent in Jiangzhou.

Who else?

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

After these 50,000 books were spilled, there was a short period of silence.

Because these 50,000 people are going to read quietly.

I'm very sorry, but in fact, the power of public opinion in Jiangzhou Prefecture is in the hands of these 50,000 people, and it is far from even less than 50,000.

After reading the book, there will be countless literary salons in Jiangzhou City.

Of course, the world doesn't have that word yet, but that's pretty much what it means.

In the high-end teahouses, in the green buildings, and in the mansions of the wealthy nobles, according to their own circles, they will form a party and start talking about the book.

And the highest-end party is undoubtedly in the Wei State Mansion.

Two hours later!

Finally, the first person finished reading it, and he was the master of the Canglang Province.

What kind of official position is this? In the entire province, he is the number one high-ranking official in charge of imperial examinations and education, and ranks among the top five in the province.

In short, this is a big shot.

His comment point is that after reading this book, I don't want to read any more books for three years.

This evaluation is super super high, which means that after reading this book, it is completely tasteless to read other books.

It's almost like Master Jin Yong wrote martial arts to death, because you can't reach the level of a master if you write again.

After having the voice of mentioning the imperial history, the next praise is really like a surging river, endless.

The bigwigs from all sides have expressed their opinions.

All praise.

And there was a person in it whose voice was particularly loud, that is, the former imperial historian would rather not give up.

Because twenty days ago, he was on Ao Yu's side, on the opposite side of Ao Ting.

And after he finished reading the fifth volume of Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City", he sighed: After reading this book, I can't help but itch my hands.

This is also a high praise.

After reading your book, I want to write a book, full of the urge to express and write, isn't it awesome enough?

And the salon gatherings in various green buildings, tea houses, and aristocratic mansions are even more crazy praise.

Words of praise for it.

In the entire Jiangzhou Mansion, almost every big figure in the cultural circle must stand up and speak out.

Because you also have to speak up.

If you don't speak up and don't praise, people will say that you are jealous of the virtuous.

If the older celebrities don't speak up, people will say that you are disrespectful to the old and narrow-minded, and you can't allow the younger generations to emerge.

In short, all the celebrities, all the talents, all the Oiran, and all the people who think they have a head and a face in the entire Jiangzhou must come forward to praise them.

Some boasted wildly, and some boasted a little more restrained.

And in this, there must be no less master.

That is Lord Zhu Lantian, the mountain chief of Tianyi Academy.

Someone went to ask him and said, Lord Zhu, have you seen Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City"?

Lord Zhu Lantian said: I have seen it.

Another person asked: What do you think?

Lord Zhu Lantian said: I think it's very good.

Very good, this is already a high praise, but Ao Ming's fans are still very dissatisfied.

Ao Ming Gongzi's book is not only very good, it is simply a once-in-a-century classic, I don't know the taste of meat when I read it in March, you just commented that it was good?

Zhu Lantian, you are not broad-minded enough.

Next, many people said cautiously that Lord Zhu Lantian was robbed of his position by Lord Lin back then, and even gave him a position in advance. And now this Lord Lin is already the third prime minister of the cabinet, and he is the teacher of Ao Ming Gongzi.

Everyone suddenly realized, so it is, so it is.

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

March 30, this day is completely Ao Ming.

Today, all the scenery of the entire Jiangzhou is occupied by him, and everyone is set off in a bleak light.

Tomorrow will be the result of the Yuedan review.

The results are of course kept strictly secret and will only be announced on the first day of each month.

But there is no suspense at all, because after a certain member of the Yuedan Review finished reading the fifth volume of "The Story of the Jade City", he said half-jokingly that no one will read tomorrow's Yuedan Review, because there is no suspense.

So everyone knows that tomorrow and the moon will be reviewed, and Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City" will definitely be the first.

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

At this time, Ao Ming's injuries had healed.

But still in bed, because he needs to act like he's seriously injured, and when he's brilliant, he has to keep a low profile.

However, the people below still reported to him the grand occasion of Jiangzhou Mansion 1510.

Even though I knew this was the result for a long time, when it really happened, it was still fascinating.

There is a feeling of drunkenness.

It's like being in a fairyland, and the feeling of fluttering.

As for Ao Yu, it is really an ant on the ground, and from the heavenly fairyland, you can't even see the slightest shadow.

A real world of difference.

One is crawling on the ground, the other is flying in the sky, although Ao Yu can't see Ao Ming's back.

And Ao Ming flying in the sky, there will be no Ao Yu in the field of vision.

Duan Yingying, as Ao Ming's fiancée, has won all the praise and envy of all his girlfriends instead of him.

What a real and honorable person!

Although he is the daughter of the Duke's Palace, his marriage is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Marrying the emperor and marrying the crown prince is of course the top marriage.

But that's too difficult, it's too difficult, and several princes who may become princes are not young, they got married more than ten years ago, and the daughter of a wealthy family has long had no chance.

Marrying an ordinary prince, he may be canonized as a prince in the future and get the title of a princess.

But most princes don't have any rights, and they don't really mean much.

So what is the best husband? Born noble and in power!

Being born noble is a marriage between nobles. But many of the top nobles have lost their enterprising spirit and enjoy wealth at home, including those who are about to inherit the title, just lie down and enjoy, how can there be the motivation to struggle?

And who are the people who hold the power? It is those civil ministers, those who have taken the road of the imperial examination, and those who are extremely popular ministers.

But most of these people are scholars and doctors, not nobles, even if they are first-class scholars in high school, the future is still unclear, because the positions of the top ministers are only a few, and I don't know how many people will fail.

But Ao Ming is different, he will inherit the Marquis of Nulang in the future, and he will take the next exam, and he is destined to be a first-class scholar in high school.

There are three powerful backers behind him, and he must enter the cabinet to pay respects.

He has a title, power, fame, talent, and looks.

is really a first-class Langjun, no wonder those nobles in Jiangzhou are jealous.

At Duan Yingying's party, all the ladies of Jiangzhou's top noble families and the ladies of the earl's family could only sit in the corners.

Although many nobles were jealous and sour in their hearts, they still had to speak out.

"From now on, the position of Ao Ming Gongzi, the number one talent, will not be turbulent. ”

"Yes, the shadow of his genius will hang over Jiangzhou for many years. It will probably wait until tomorrow's hall examination after the entrance examination, he passed the first-class jinshi, and then entered the court as an official, and many talents in Jiangzhou will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and have a chance to come out. ”

"By the way, what about Ao Yu's "Stone Record" by the clown who jumped off the beam? Didn't he claim that this book was better written? Isn't he claiming to destroy Ao Minggongzi's "Jade Cheng Ji"?"

Suddenly, the nobles and daughters present covered their noses and said, "Don't mention him, don't mention him, so as not to dirty your ears, and don't mention the name of such an inferior person." Ao Ming Gongzi is like a fairy in the sky, and it is a great shame to put the names of two people together. ”

"Yes, yes, such a clown is not qualified to inherit the position of Marquis of Fulang at all, and he is not worthy of becoming a noble, if a person like him becomes the next generation of Marquis of Fulang, it will be a great shame for the empire. ”

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

yes, what about Ao Yu's "Stone Story" of the jumping clown?

Everyone is wondering?

Didn't you claim to be released with Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City"? Why is there no shadow yet?

Do you know that it is impossible to compare, and you don't want to bring shame on yourself?

But you Ao Yu doesn't look like such a self-aware person? If you are really self-aware, you shouldn't have mentioned this bet in the first place.

So many people said that Ao Yu was cowardly, and he was going to break the contract, so he didn't dare to fight.

"Even if he is stupid, but his mother is not stupid, of course she will not really compare with Ao Ming. ”

"Ao Yu is pretending to be dead, what kind of things he wrote, we don't know, can his parents not know? It's not enough to lift shoes for Ao Minggongzi, how can they be released to offer ugliness?"

And Ao Yu, who was extremely out of the game before, seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, as if he was pretending to be dead.

He didn't see his "Stone Record" either, and he himself didn't speak out.

The enemy's side immediately organized manpower and spread the word everywhere that Ao Yu's side was going to break the contract.

Not only that, but he also organized a crowd to block the Marquis of Fulang's mansion.

On that day, thousands of people gathered in front of the Duke of Wei, and that was because there was a hot spot, because Ao Ming was assassinated.

And this time in front of the Marquis of Fulang's mansion, it is pure nonsense.

Even if Ao Yu breaks the contract and Ao Yu pretends to be dead, it will not be the turn of the ignorant people to be filled with righteous indignation, and it is impossible to have spare time to besiege the Marquis of Nulang's Mansion, that is, someone wants to make a big fuss.

"Ao Yu, where is your book?

"Ao Yu, aren't you going to claim to kill Ao Ming? aren't you going to press him to the ground and rub him?"

"Ao Yu, aren't you going to marry Duan Yingying?"

"It's really the first waste in the world, talking like a fart. Ao Yu, your mouth is not as good as my eyes. ”

"Jumping beam clown Ao Baoyu, jumping beam clown Ao Baoyu! You toad, you still want to eat the swan meat of Miss Duan Yingying, and you don't look in the mirror to see, which point are you like Ao Ming Gongzi? You can still write a book? You still want to write a better book than Ao Ming Gongzi's "Tale of the Jade City"? I bah, I bah ...... it."

"Shameless, shameless. ”

"Ao Yu, your "Stone Story" is not better than "The Jade City", even if it is half good, I will eat the whole book. ”

"Just kidding, don't say half of it, even if it's one-tenth of "The Story of the Jade City", I'll run around Jiangzhou naked. ”

Next, hundreds or thousands of people booed.

"Jumping beam clown Ao Baoyu, jumping beam clown Ao Baoyu!"

And at this moment, the door of the Marquis of Fury Wave Mansion was open!

Then one cart after another left the house, and each cart was full of books.

"The Stone"!

There was an uproar among the people.

Ao Yu, you're really not afraid of death, you're really shameless, do you really dare to take out the book and sell it?

Are you afraid that you will not be ashamed enough? What kind of book you have written, we have all heard about, super poisonous weeds, extremely vulgar garbage.

Ao Ming Gongzi's "Tale of the Jade City" is so well written, you dare to touch a stone with an egg, you are really not afraid of ugliness at all?

Next, hundreds or thousands of people followed the convoy of the Marquis of Fulang Mansion and headed towards the various bookstores together.

Tens of thousands of copies of "The Book of Stones" were sold in major bookstores one by one.

Of course, these bookstores will not refuse. No matter how badly "The Stone Story" is written, it is still very topical, even if it is to see how bad it is, many people will buy it.

Really!

As soon as Yun Zhonghe's "Stone Story" was placed on the counter of the bookstore, a lot of hands were immediately stretched out.

Of course, this sales are far less popular than the fifth volume of Ao Ming's "Tales of the Jade City", and even far from it.

But it's definitely a bestseller.

Many people have just finished reading the fifth volume of "The Story of the Jade City", and immediately come to buy "The Story of the Stone", they just want to see, how bad a book will be?

Even many people laugh at themselves and say that it is quite chic to eat a meal of pig food just after eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

There is no doubt that Ao Ming's book is the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and Ao Yu's book is pig food.

Then someone next to me answered, is that pig food? That's?

Pig food gritted its teeth and could still swallow it. Can you swallow? It's going to stick to your throat.

Someone next to him answered: I'm afraid it's not just, the key is that there is poison in this.

Damn, brother, you're going too far.

And there are a large number of people who have heard that Ao Yu's "Stone Record" is a big poisonous weed, and it is the kind of super vulgar and super gaudy big poisonous weed, so they can't wait to buy it, and they have to hide in the room alone, close all the windows and doors, and prepare the kind of paper that can only be seen.

After buying the book, the group of scholars looked disgusted, picked up the pages between their two fingers, opened them slightly, and kept their eyes far away, as if they would be poisoned if they got closer.

The disdain on that face, the disgust on that face.

"I want to see how rotten and vulgar it is."

As a result, look at it!

He was a little stunned, and couldn't help but hold the book closer.

He was a little confused, and even raised his head to look left and right.

Because the appreciation level of this scholar is not high enough, it is difficult to make a clear judgment at once.

But just looking at the first few pages, it doesn't seem to be rotten, and I vaguely feel good.

Soon, he and Xiucai next door directly met each other's eyes, exchanging surprises in their hearts.

And at this moment, there was a scoundrel next to him who directly scolded.

"What kind of rotten book do you rely on? What kind of ghost can you read?" This scoundrel is here for super gaudy, super vulgar, I've turned dozens of pages, where did it come from?

I'm ready to go home and take off my pants, so you're going to show me this?

But a few showmen present, quietly, went home directly.

Go home and take a closer look, because it's a little uncertain.

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

Jiangzhou City has outstanding people, many celebrities, and the appreciation level of ordinary talents is not high, but some have a high level of appreciation.

After they finished reading the first dozens of pages of "The Story of Stones", the whole person immediately fell into silence.

Especially the first big guy to speak out, Zhang Qizheng, who mentioned the imperial history.

Seriously, the reason why he was the first to speak out was not because he was bought, nor did he want to tie Lin Xiang's throat.

It's that he is upright, especially likes to read scripts, and he is really happy to see the hunting, and Ao Ming is indeed well written.

After reading it, he was amazed, so he was the first to speak out and say that after watching Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City", he didn't want to read the script for three years.

The reason why he bought "The Stone" to see it was also to see how rotten it could be.

As a result, after reading dozens of pages, he was completely speechless.

He regretted it!

I really shouldn't be the first to praise "The Story of the Jade City" today.

But he didn't speak, he kept reading, and reading, and reading.

After reading for more than four hours, I finally finished reading the first volume of "The Stone" for the first time.

At this point, it's almost dark!

But he still didn't light the lamp, just sat quietly.

Madame came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lord Tixue hesitated for a moment, then walked out.

Sure enough, there were already hundreds of scholars standing outside the Xuezheng Yamen, all of whom were above Xiucai, and some were lifted.

These people also finished reading "The Story of the Stone" as quickly as possible, and they felt very good in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak out rashly.

Regarding today's evaluation of "The Story of the Jade City", Zhang Qizheng, who mentions the imperial history, is the first to praise it.

Therefore, everyone flocked to the Xuezheng Yamen, and once again waited for Zhang Qizheng's public statement!

In fact, at this time, there were already many people in the entire Jiangzhou Mansion who quickly finished reading "The Story of the Stone" for the first time, and then all fell into silence.

All those with a high level of appreciation can see that the two works are not on the same level at all.

Even people with more than talent can roughly see that the artistic level of "The Story of the Stone" exceeds that of "The Story of the Jade City".

But there is still no one who takes the initiative to speak out.

Because this voice means taking sides!

Behind Ao Yu is the Marquis of Nulang, although this person is a hussar general, but he is a lonely person and does not form a party for personal gain. It doesn't do you any good to slap him up, and it doesn't do you any harm if you offend him.

But behind Ao Ming stood the Duke of Wei and Lin Xiang, which were intertwined and a huge interest group.

If you dare to say that Ao Yu's "The Story of the Stone" is better, that is, to stand on the opposite side of this power group.

So the whole Jiangzhou fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone waited for the first person to speak.

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

Zhang Qizheng, who mentioned the imperial history, looked at the hundreds of scholars outside the academic and political yamen.

"Students, I know what you're waiting for, and I know what you're trying to say. ”

Master Zhang Qizheng said slowly: "This morning, I am the first senior official to speak out, and I praised Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City" and said that after reading it, I don't want to read the script again for three years, this sentence is sincere. ”

"Until now, I have insisted that the level of the fifth volume of "The Story of the Jade City" is extremely high, even if you look at the whole Jiangzhou in a few decades, this is an outstanding work. ”

"Yucheng Ji, good, good, very good!"

"But ......"

Zhang Qizheng, the scholar of the imperial history, said: "After I finished reading "The Story of the Stone", how do you describe it?"

"I don't know how to say it, I need to organize the language. ”

"I didn't see a story, I saw an epic picture, and I felt as if I saw a completely real world. ”

""The Story of the Jade City" made me stunned and hearty, but when I watched it, I knew clearly in my heart that this was a story. ”

"And after watching "The Stone", I know that this is a life. No, it's an infinite number of lives. It is a dynastic flower roll, and it is a leap of countless lives. ”

"It pounds my soul, it scorches every hair of my hair. There are times when I look cold, and there are times when I sweat coldly. ”

"So, you're going to ask me which one is better, "The Story of the Jade City" or "The Story of the Stone"?"

"Then all I can say is, this ...... If it's not a level, don't compare it together. ”

Zhang Qizheng, who mentioned the imperial history, held up the "Stone Record" and said loudly: "This is a classic, this is a classic that can be passed down for a hundred years." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause below.

Because Master Zhang Qizheng said what they wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and even said things they didn't expect.

Master Zhang, as the leader of the scholars of Canglang Province, did not disappoint them, and he insisted on his integrity.

After finishing speaking, Master Zhang Qizheng arched his hand and returned to the yamen.

And his residence is also in the backyard of the yamen.

When he returned to his lodgings, he still did not light the lamp, but just sat there quietly, motionless.

"What's going on?" asked his wife.

Zhang Qizheng said: "Wife, get ready, we're leaving Jiangzhou." ”

The old wife was stunned and said, "No, right?"

Zhang Qizheng said: "How can it be? I am the first to stand in line, the first person to express my position, Lin Xiang will never allow me to stay in this position anymore." ”

The old wife said, "Then he won't hurt you, right?"

Zhang Qizheng said: "That's not it, and it can't reach the point of degrading officials, but it is certain to move to a remote position and serve as an idle official with a position but no power." ”

Then, Zhang Qizheng said again: "Of course, not necessarily. Lin Xiang is too powerful, how Lord Zhu Lantian was kicked out of the court by him back then, it is really vivid. But in general, I have a clean breeze on my sleeves, he can get rid of me, but he can't abolish me, he, the third prime minister of the cabinet, can't be so domineering. ”

The old wife said, "Then why did you go out just now? You could have hid and kept quiet." ”

Zhang Qizheng said: "Because everyone is waiting for me to be the first to speak? If I don't speak out, or even if I don't speak first, then my arrogance will be over, and everyone will think that I am clinging to the powerful, my bones are soft, and my knees are soft. ”

"We scholars, isn't it just a reputation in this life? Those nobles, those wealthy nobles can be willful, but we can't. ”

Master Zhang Qizheng's old wife couldn't help but wipe away her tears and said: "Hey! I really like Jiangzhou, why do I have to leave?

But after all, she went to pack her things anyway.

And Zhang Qizheng, who mentioned the imperial history, has already begun to write his resignation. Because if you take the initiative to resign, there are still some opportunities.

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

Really!

After the first speaker of the Imperial History Zhang Qizheng!

Public opinion in the entire Jiangzhou was completely blown up.

All the big guys, all the celebrities, spoke out one after another.

And it's a complete scramble, an unprecedented intensity.

Let them be the first to speak out, they won't, because they will offend Lin Xiang.

But after Zhang Qizheng was the first to speak, they had to speak out in the fastest time.

Because if you don't speak out at this time, you will be ruined, what about your arrogance?

And even if Lin Xiang blames at that time, he can't blame the public, so he can only get Zhang Qizheng alone.

He was the first to speak.

And the second to speak out, there are at least a hundred people.

And the voices of these celebrities are almost completely unanimous.

This is not a story, this is not a story, but a life!

It's a virtual dynasty, it's a virtual history, but everyone seems to be able to find themselves in a book.

And once you find yourself, it's like looking in a mirror, and your hairs explode.

So you're here, too, and I'm in the book, and I'm like that?

And......

Among all the praises of celebrities and celebrities, they almost don't talk about "The Story of Jade City", because everyone also believes that these two works are not of the same level at all, not of the same level.

In the morning, about the praise and appreciation of "The Story of the Jade City", thousands of people, tens of thousands of people spoke out at the same time.

It's like a cat and a dog, as long as you are literate, it doesn't matter if you are a girl in a green building or a fortune teller on the side of the road, you can comment and praise.

And about "The Stone"?

Only a few hundred people spoke out, and only a few hundred people dared to evaluate.

Lift people below, shut up all of them, you are not qualified to appreciate.

Those who raise the standard of others should also speak carefully, so as not to be ashamed.

Jinshi and above, only then do you have the qualifications to comment and appreciate.

The rest of you, it's enough for you all to kneel on the ground and read, this kind of ancient strange text, not you idle people can comment, it's good to understand it.

As for who is higher and who is lower of the two books?

Although no one said it, the answer was already there.

Ao Ming's "Tale of the Jade City" was killed by Yun Zhonghe's "Tale of Stones" and became scum.

Not even the scum left!

Because none of the big guys compares the two books.

Or to put it more meanly, "The Story of the Jade City" doesn't even have the qualifications to lift shoes for "The Story of the Stone".

Ao Yu of the Marquis of Fulang's Mansion is a real god with a book!

After these bigwigs spoke, they immediately fell silent and returned home to watch.

But countless scholars, countless idlers, etc., don't have to stand in line, and they don't even have the qualifications to stand in line, but they have the qualifications to watch the excitement, and it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

As a result, hundreds of people and thousands of people once again flocked to the Wei State Mansion.

This group of people is so bad!

They just wanted to see what Wei Guogong's reaction was, what was Ao Ming's reaction, and what was Duan Yingying's reaction?

There were also some people who flocked to the courtyard of the Yuedan Review.

Because tomorrow is the first day of April, the results of the Yuedan review will come out, which is the key indicator that determines the outcome of the two books.

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

Note: Today is still updated 15,000, ask for a monthly pass, please support!

Pastry bowed to everyone, thank you!
