In the four years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it ushered in the coldest winter and the most lively Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the third day of the first month, the weather is clear, the whole Lanzhou is covered in silver, and the smell of the New Year is still permeated in the air, white and vast, mixed with festivity and liveliness, all of them are developing in a good direction, showing a different kind of prosperity.

Taking advantage of such a season, Lanzhou Book Company actually published a book on the third day of the Lunar New Year, called "The first publication was published in large quantities, which must be called an adventure". The publication time and volume of a book are particular, for example, the publication time should be staggered with festivals and busy agricultural seasons to avoid the occurrence of no one cares, the circulation should be conservative, and a small number of publications should be used to test the market's reaction, and if the sales are good, the printing will be expanded immediately. However, these two points were violated, and a large number of prints were printed during the New Year, and I heard that Liu Da Shopkeeper of the Lanzhou Book Bureau also specially asked workers to rush to work on Chinese New Year's Eve at a high price, and finally let this book come out on the third day of the new year.

People buy with curiosity, and after buying it, they just read one or two pages and indulge in it, the brushstrokes are delicate, the emotions are sincere, and the current romance on the market is tantamount to pearls and gemstones. Of course, there are also people who are not interested in this, such as Wang Dingyuan, the son of Lord Zhizhou, shook his head vigorously and said, I can't read it, I can't read it. Lord Zhizhou also scolded his son for being turbid. Mrs. Zhizhou couldn't put it down and praised it, and said that she would visit the author.

As soon as it came out, it caused thousands of empty alleys, and the people who bought it flocked to the Lanzhou bookstore like a crucian carp crossing the river. Liu Hongda looked at the bustling crowd and was happy in his heart. With a record number of sales, it was sold out on the first day of publication, and Liu Hongda couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This may be a big thing that I haven't seen the ancients before and the people who haven't come after." ”

On the fourth day of the new year, the weather was clearer, the sun was shining in the sky, and there was a faint feeling of early spring, and people walking on the street couldn't help but unbutton one of the buttons around their necks.

But something hotter than the weather is a book, which has become a new topic for people to walk the streets, in teahouses, inns, and on the streets, people have discussed that certain words or sentences in it will touch different heartstrings of different people, and then empathize with them, sighing. Miss Dahu will envy Yingying and Zhang Sheng's Aiqing, and the scholar is determined to be like Zhang Sheng's fame, even ordinary people can smash a trace of positive feelings in catchy poems.

However, the author of this book is not Lin Wan'er, but a person named Banshan Layman, and it is not the end, but the end of Zhang Sheng's examination to marry Yingying, which is to verify the sentence "There is Yan Ruyu in the book". This qiē seems to imply that Liu Hongda's conspiracy is being carried out.

The Lin family's courtyard is not exempt from vulgarity, the fourth Lin Hanlin picked up a copy from the market, and rushed back to the Lin family's courtyard, but Lin Hanlin didn't know the relationship between this and Lin Wan'er, and praised this mid-level layman. Lin Hanlin is smart and unforgettable, and after reading it, he really memorized it word for word.

Lin Wan'er looked silent, but she knew very well in her heart that Liu Hongda must have reversed his word and changed his hexagram, but Lin Wan'er didn't know why Liu Hongda was like this. Businessmen value profit rather than righteousness, but businessmen do not pay less attention to reputation, and the things behind it should not be so simple.

Zhao Gan held it in one hand, shook his head incessantly, and said to Lin Wan'er: "This Liu Da shopkeeper is really a good hand, this trick is really ruthless." Wan'er, do you have any countermeasures? ”

Lin Wan'er nodded and shook her head again.

Zhao Qian didn't know if Lin Wan'er had a countermeasure or not, sighed, and said to himself: "I have a trick, but you won't agree." In the end, I really can't use it anymore, so let's wait for now. ”

At this moment, Chen Xiaoxiao rushed to the Lin family's courtyard from outside, and as soon as she sat down, she said, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

Lin Wan'er naturally knew why Chen Xiaoxiao was sorry, and comforted the other party and said: "Where is this, sister, if it weren't for my sister's matchmaking, I might still be under the stove, and even more so, I have become a lump of ashes under the stove, how can I exchange it for fifty taels of silver." Speaking of which, I would like to thank my sister. ”

Zhao Gan's head came up at this time, and he said with a very thick face: "Actually, I also have credit, I handed over the first draft to Miss Xiaoxiao, don't forget to thank me." ”

Lin Wan'er scratched the other party fiercely with her eyes.

Chen Xiaoxiao took Lin Wan'er's hand and asked, "Sister, is there any countermeasure?" ”

Lin Wan'er thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the Lanzhou Bookstore first and ask about the situation." ”

After that, the three of them got up and went to Liu's mansion, and on the way, Chen Xiaoxiao's footsteps were hurried, and his expression was a little flustered. Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan looked normal, not only did this fail to infect Chen Xiaoxiao, but made the other party more anxious, Chen Xiaoxiao liked this book from the bottom of her heart, and she never wanted the author of this book to become that mid-mountain layman, it really tarnished this book.

But when the three of them arrived at the door of Liu's mansion, the janitor said that the master was meeting guests, which was inconvenient. Zhao Qian patiently asked the other party to go in and report, and said that Lin Wan'er had arrived. The little guy came back and said that the old man was sick in bed and it was inconvenient to see guests. When Zhao Qian and Lin Wan'er heard this, they laughed silently instead of getting angry, this reason is too fake.

Chen Xiaoxiao became angry all of a sudden, pointed to the little girl's nose and scolded: "I just said that I was still seeing guests, and suddenly I was sick in bed again, hum, what a big shopkeeper Liu!" "The scolding is painless and non-lethal, and it is too far behind Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er pulled Chen Xiaoxiao to her side and whispered: "Sister, don't worry, this shopkeeper Liu deliberately doesn't want to see us, let's see how my sister copes." ”

Lin Wan'er walked up to the little maid and whispered a few words, the little maid turned her head and entered Liu's mansion, and after a while, she ran out and said that the master was invited.

Lin Wan'er and the three of them entered Liu's Mansion and went to the study under the leadership of the little maid. The whole study is decorated with antique, the books are lined up on a wall, there are all kinds of styles, the whole study covers a huge area, and it is about to catch up with the Lin family's small courtyard. Lin Wan'er couldn't help but sigh and sigh that rich people live in luxury, but Zhao Gan stepped in obliquely from the side and said: "So-so, it's not as big as my toilet." Lin Wan'er retorted: "You just brag." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao has always been unpredictable, and it has come to this juncture, how can the two of them still be in the mood to quarrel. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the big shopkeeper of the Lanzhou Bookstore arrive.

Lin Wan'er walked around the study for a few times, and said, "You said that if you put a fire in this study, how much fire can be set off. ”

"Hahaha!" A loud laugh came from outside, and Liu Hongda, who was belated, finally appeared, entered the house and bowed his hand to the three of them, and said: "Miss Wan'er is laughing, if you really put a fire in Liu's study, you will definitely be able to burn most of Liu's family wealth, and of course the government will also let Miss Wan'er go." ”

Lin Wan'er's face was calm, without the slightest anger, just calm, and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, Wan'er is just joking." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, and said to Liu Hongda: "Shopkeeper Liu, when this was published, the conditions had already been explained, why did the author become a mid-mountain layman, today Sister Wan'er and I came to the house to ask for an explanation." ”

Liu Hongda walked to the side of the Taishi chair, sat down by himself, his eyes swept over Chen Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao girl, Liu is stupid, why can't you understand what you are saying." Liu knows that Miss Wan'er is peerless, but it is impossible that all the famous works in this world are written by Miss Wan'er. It was originally made by a monk in the middle of the mountain, when did it become the work of Miss Wan'er? And the conditions you said, what conditions? Liu Hongda pretended to be stupid, and the businessman's cunning was unintentional, but he couldn't tell the truth from his face.

Chen Xiaoxiao was trembling with anger, a jade-like finger pointed at Liu Hongda, and finally spoke: "Okay, since it was made by a mid-level layman, I just don't know where this mid-mountain layman is?" ”

"Hahaha." Hearing Chen Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Hongda raised his head and laughed.

At this time, a scholar with a withered face and a pale face walked in from outside the study, holding a folding fan in his hand, his clothes were washed and white, and he waved at everyone and said: "The contemptible Ouyang Tuo, a monk in the middle of the mountain, is the author. "Ouyang Tuo is famous in Lanzhou, although there is no article that can be included in the literary list, but there is a very good means is the ability to never forget, and the article can be recited after reading it once. However, this person has a poor character and has a bad reputation in Lanzhou.

Chen Xiaoxiao naturally knew this person, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be Ouyang Dagongzi, who has both ability and political integrity." ”

Ouyang Tuo didn't care about Chen Xiaoxiao's sarcasm, looked at Lin Wan'er and said, "Miss Wan'er, I have admired my name for a long time, and I really deserved it when I saw it today." It's just that this is really what was done, so Miss Wan'er shouldn't take it for herself, right? ”

Since Liu Hongda entered the study, Lin Wan'er only said one word, and then became an outsider, watching coldly, and seeing the other party talking to herself, she said: "Ouyang Gongzi said that it was Gongzi who did it, is there any evidence?" ”

Ouyang Tuoha smiled, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said: "It was made by a contemptible person after five years, and the words have been engraved in the bones, which can be said to be backwards." If you don't believe it, Miss Wan'er can say any word in a chapter at will, and see if the contemptible person can say it. ”

Since Ouyang Tuo unfolded the folding fan in his hand, Lin Wan'er's eyes fell on the folding fan, motionless, the folding fan was painted with green pine and white stone, the painting style was simple, and it was also a precious folding fan.

As soon as Zhao Qian heard Ouyang Tuo's words, he suddenly became interested, picked up a copy casually, turned a page at random, and said, "One hundred and thirty pages and fifty-six words?" ”

Ouyang Tuo smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "It's the 'purple' word for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple." ”

Zhao Qian asked again: "Eighty-seven words on page fifty-four?" ”

Ouyang Tuo opened his mouth and came: "It is the word 'earth' that stands up to the sky." ”

Zhao Qian was dumbfounded, raised his big female finger, and said, "You are really good!" ”

Ouyang Tuo smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Accept, accept!" ”

Ouyang Tuo watched Lin Wan'er always stare at the folding fan in his hand without saying a word, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable, he couldn't help coughing lightly a few times, and said to Lin Wan'er: "Miss Wan'er, what else do you have to say?" ”

Lin Wan'er took her eyes off the folding fan at this time, and asked very seriously: "Don't you feel cold when you fan a fan around in winter?" ”

The room was silent, the sound of falling needles could be heard, the folding fan in Ouyang Tuo's hand stopped at an angle, continued to fan no, not fanned, the teacup that Liu Hongda had just picked up stayed in the air, and it was not to drink, nor to put it down. Chen Xiaoxiao was about to cry angrily by Lin Wan'er, how could Sister Wan'er still be in the mood to laugh at this time.

Only Zhao Qian laughed, or the kind that laughed heartily.
