By the time I finished writing the second half of "The Legend of the West Chamber", it was already a few days later.

The reason why the first half of the book was rushed out was because Mu Qing needed to use the half of the book to find a buyer, and the half of the West Chamber was his reliance, and the result was that he did find a good partner with that half of the book, and the results were also excellent.

Now that he found Deng Yuanshan, Mu Qing was no longer in a hurry, and took advantage of the convenience to ask for a set of "Imperial Examination Essential Books" from Deng Yuanshan, and studied the hand-copied version of the scriptures brought out from the Mu family over and over again, only taking some time to memorize the "West Chamber" with Annu when the sun was right in the afternoon, and occasionally going to the bookstore to look for useful books, and the days were very leisurely.

These days, Deng Yuanshan is anxious to let Mu Qing deliver the manuscript, but he also has something to be busy with.

With his keen business acumen, he knows the value of this book, and as a businessman, what he is passionate about pursuing is to profit and maximize this value.

Deng Yuanshan was very optimistic about Mu Qing's casual words, so he contacted a more famous opera troupe in Guizhou City. Today's opera troupes usually rehearse not the Peking Opera Kunqu Opera, which has been popular for a long time in later generations, but some folk tunes, which are just a good voice, and some opera troupes specially select some handsome teenagers to sing in order to attract customers, and some people come to listen.

But those tunes are only those when you listen to them, and if you listen to them today, you will find them the same as those you sang yesterday, and people will feel that they are not fresh. And the folk tune is a freshness, there is not a lot of story and coherence in it, and naturally there is nothing evocative. But even so, some of these troupes have become famous.

The Xiangqing class is one of them.

Guizhou City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, most people sing soft voices, but there are some operas from the north in this auspicious class, the sound is different from the soft and dense of the southerners, but rough and loud, and it sounds like it has its own awe-inspiring momentum.

There are actually a lot of details revealed in the half of the Western Chamber in Deng Yuanshan's hand, some of the characters are martial arts, or have more bold personalities, and they have always been more suitable for those northern operas with open voices.

============================================================================

When Mu Qing took the manuscript to find Deng Yuanshan, he found that Mr. Deng seemed to have a guest.

Deng Yuanshan got up to salute when he saw Mu Qinglai, and then raised his hand and introduced with a smile: "Mu Gongzi, this is the head of the Xiangqing class, Liu Feng and Liu Feng. ”

The head of the Xiangqing class, looking at a middle-aged man in his fifties, looks elegant and funny, but since he can make the Xiangqing class impressive, he can think that he is not a simple person.

Mu Qing first bowed to Deng Yuanshan, and then smiled with the class master: "Hello old man." ”

"Don't dare." Liu Feng didn't dare to accept Mu Qing's gift, and turned sideways to get out of the way. The Zhou Dynasty's attitude towards artists is definitely not kind, one day is a drama for life, and even his family members can't get rid of their lowly status. Most of the people who come out to sing are not fond, but because they are lowly, and compared to others, doing drama may be the most decent among the lowly.

Scholars, in this era of paying attention to their origins, whether they have obtained fame or not, are absolutely superior.

Mu Qing didn't understand many of the twists and turns, so when Liu Feng was polite and didn't force it, the three of them sat down. Liu Feng came today to discuss with Deng Yuanshan about the new drama, this is the first time since the establishment of their Xiangqing class to take on this kind of business, it was just a small joke before, but this time it is going to be a big one.

But Liu Feng also saw the half of the manuscript, so he naturally had his own plans. Although there is no ending, it is enough to make their Xiangqing class famous, and this Deng Yuanshan actually just said that he would receive half of the profits from their income, which was a set deal in Liu Feng's opinion.

This trick, Deng Yuanshan still learned it from Mu Qing, if Mu Qing knew it, it would be inevitable to say "no treacherous business".

The discussion had come to an end, Deng Yuanshan did not say anything about Mu Qing's relationship with this book, and Liu Feng naturally did not ask. And Mu Qing naturally didn't take out the second half of the book without knowing each other, so he took the tea and sat quietly on the side.

There was a faint sound of engraving things from the backyard, Mu Qing looked back, and clearly remembered that last time Deng Yuanshan said that this month's printing book was enough, but now he started printing, but he didn't know what it was.

After signing an agreement with Liu Feng, Deng Yuanshan sent Liu out of the door with a smile, and only after closing the door did he strode into the house, his face was still warm like a spring breeze just now, full of urgency: "Has your manuscript been written!" ”

"Mr. Deng, you scared me." Mu Qing was startled, and only after putting aside the teacup did he take out the large pile of manuscripts he was carrying in his arms, and as soon as he took it out, he was snatched by Deng Yuanshan.

In the past few days, Mu Qing has also figured out some of Deng Yuanshan's temperament. This man is usually gentle and elegant, but when he is contaminated with money or something, he seems to be like a cat that smells fishy, and his eyes are red.

Deng Yuanshan quickly skimmed through the manuscript, and then put down his contemplation in his heart.

He is different from Annu, who simply likes the story, while Deng Yuanshan has to consider how many people will like the story. It involves some court matters, whether it can be printed, and whether this final ending will be liked.

After thinking for a long time, he smiled.

"Good." Slowly spit out two words, Deng Yuanshan sighed, with a little relief and a little expectation.

He took out the remaining five coins of silver that he had agreed on and put it in Mu Qing's hand, and then took out another ingot of silver and handed it to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing was stunned, this ingot of silver was very heavy, and he looked up at Deng Yuanshan in astonishment. Deng Yuanshan looked at him and said: "This is ten taels of silver, I will pay you, and I will give you the agreed twenty percent of the profit according to the agreement, and I will not repay the debt." ”

"But the agreed agreement is not these ten taels." Mu Qing frowned slightly.

"It's my personal investment, and I think it's worth it." Deng Yuanshan did not hide his thoughts, and a smile curled into the corner of his mouth.

He could see that Mu Qing had talent and spirituality, Deng Yuanshan didn't really mind whether this person could get a famous official robe, what he liked was Mu Qing's sensitivity to the means of propaganda and momentum.

Ten taels of silver is just an early investment, Deng Yuanshan's money is not bad, if Mu Qing is just a temporary spirituality, he should use these ten taels to buy a lesson, but if Mu Qing is really a wonderful person in this regard, he will let Deng Yuanshan's benefits in the future far exceed these ten taels of silver.

Whether there is silver or nothing, it is a lie to say that Mu Qing is not vigilant in his heart. He looked at Deng Yuanshan suspiciously, but felt that this usually gentle man was a little incomprehensible at the moment.

"I'll take it, and if you regret it later, you can take it back." Mu Qing hesitated and put it into his sleeve.

"I never regret doing things." Deng Yuanshan smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.

Mu Qing listened to his words, and his heart relaxed slightly, pursed his lips, and stopped thinking about it. At this time, after the silence calmed down, the sound of the inscription from the backyard became more and more obvious.

"Mr. Deng, what are you printing now?"

"Di Bao."

Di Bao is the official newspaper of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also known as the "official newspaper", which is published once a month, recording most of the official speeches and the movements of various countries, similar to the news broadcasts of later generations.

Most of the information in it is extremely obscure and deeply buried, but if you are interested, you can also see some clues. Because of this, Di Bao is only popular in the homes of the official eunuchs and the powerful, and ordinary people rarely see it, even if they are as rich as the Mu family, they are not qualified to get it.

And the printing of Di Bao is also extremely strict, after all, if there is a mistake in the middle link, or if fake news is printed by someone with a heart, it will cause a bad impact on memory.

Mu Qing took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and looked at Deng Yuanshan, only then did he really feel that this person was not simple.
