Chapter 160: The Hill's Study (1)
"Master, master, the new book from Xiaoshan Study is out!"
Xu Yan happily held two books to show off to Liansheng.
Liansheng smiled: "I don't think this writing is good at all. ”
"Hey, you're jealous, absolutely jealous, what's wrong? This is the latest work of the owner of Mingyue Building! ”
Xu Yan lowered her head and took a deep breath: "The ink in Xiaoshan's study is more fragrant than other houses." ”
The official silver of Yangzhou was found, Yu Shizhao and Wang Heng stayed in Yangzhou to continue to investigate the affairs of the local officials and salt merchants, and Liansheng took Xu Yan and followed the four Jinyi guards to continue to move forward and came to Hangzhou. The cultural industry here is particularly developed, and private bookshops are blooming everywhere, and one of the more famous local bookstores is called Xiaoshan Study, which has recently catered to women's tastes and published a novel called Mingyue Louzhu, which is a series of Super Mary Sue in modern language. The heroine is so beautiful that she is captivating the country and the city, when she was born, she was born with a strange fragrance, the garden is full of flowers, the fragrance is overflowing, the midwife said, this young lady must not be a mortal, the girl's parents named her Yan Ruyu. Ruyu grows up a little smarter, she can't do anything, she can do anything, she can take out anything at the same level, and then this girl is pursued by many talents. Talented people go outside the girl's house every day to recite poems, and also paste the written poems on the door of the girl's house, similar to modern forums, generally all girls, girls, you are so beautiful, girls, you are so beautiful, girls, you are really amazing...... In this way, Liansheng felt a headache after turning two pages, but Xu Yan read the novel with relish, and told Liansheng which son she was optimistic about in the novel every day when she ate. Which son I hate the most, I hope Miss Mary Sue can end up with which son.
This novel called "The Legend of Ruyu" is particularly popular in the boudoir of Hangzhou, and its reputation has even spread to the capital, Xiaoshan Study is the only authorized bookstore for the novel, and the book is fried in Luoyang paper, and it sells quite well in Hangzhou.
Lian Sheng looked at Xu Yan with an intoxicated face, and pinched the book with two fingers in disgust. Xu Yan pouted and said, "What, master, you bully people, how can you take a book like this." ”
"I'm afraid of soiling your new book, how is Ruyu doing now?"
"Hey. There is a prince who hears the good name of Ruyu. I also came to write poems to respond to the peace. Ruyu said that she didn't care about glory and wealth, she just wanted a couple for a lifetime. Look, Ruyu is so amazing, I see that my tears are about to fall. ”
Xu Yan sighed: "Actually, I don't want Ruyu to be the princess, Ruyu is a smart and beautiful woman like Ruyu." It's not a rare princess. It's the queen who did it. ”
Liansheng pinched the book. stared at the book cover and looked at it over and over for a while and said, "This is not a book from Xiaoshan's study, you are fooled." ”
"Not from the Hill Study?" Xu Yan snatched the book from Liansheng's hand and looked through it carefully: "Master." Where do you see that this is not the Hill Study, do you see that this is not the sign of the Hill Study? Xu Yan pointed to a green stone mark on the cover, on which four small characters were engraved: Xiaoshan Study.
"You looked for the book you bought the day before yesterday, and the outline of that stone is wrong!"
Xu Yan was suspicious, and ran to her room to find the first volume of the novel, and compared the stone, it was really different. The right side of the stone in the last two books is obviously much more rounded than the first one, not as angular as the first one, and the square characters under the room of the hill study are also a little less.
"Oh my God! It's really different, these two books are fake! ”
"Yes, this is a fake book from Xiaoshan's study, you have been fooled.!" Liansheng pointed to the book and said.
Xu Yan threw the book aside depressedly, she thought for a while: "No, the new books in Xiaoshan Study will cost one or two silver for the market, this is fake, the bookstore owner cheated me for one or two silver, I can't be fooled by this, I'll look for him!" ”
As he spoke, he held three books and ran out with a smoke.
It was too late for Liansheng to stop her, she thought about it, there was nothing in the yamen today, so she simply chased her out, followed Xu Yan, and had the right to be distracted, where did Xu Yan suffer a loss, Liansheng was worried that she would smash someone's bookstore.
Lian Sheng followed Xu Yan behind, and the two brocade guards who were responsible for protecting her followed her not far away. Lian Sheng watched Xu Yan walk into a bookstore called Zhilan Fragrance from a distance, and before she could walk in, she heard Xu Yan shout in a loud voice: "This is obviously a fake book!" This is not a book from the Hill Study! You lied to people, pay me back! Not anyone's books are worth a tael or two! Black-hearted boss, you are so greedy for money, why don't you rob it! ”
"Girl, you can't slander people in broad daylight, our shop has always sold books from Xiaoshan Study, you are obviously from Xiaoshan Study." The bookstore owner picked up the book, specially found reading glasses to put on, glanced at it, and held the book to show the people around him.
"Hmph, you presbyopia, look at it, look carefully, is this room right? A little less, isn't it? And this stone painting, right? ”
The bookstore owner saw that Xu Yan was dressed very richly, not like being unreasonable, so he found a magnifying glass and looked at the place Xu Yan pointed out little by little, his hands trembled, put down the two books, hurriedly looked at the other books on the shelf, and saw that the whole person was dumbfounded: "God, this is not Xiaoshan's study." ”
The bookstore owner sat down on the ground and slapped his hands on the ground: "How can this be?" I'm going to die. ”
Lian Sheng stepped forward and said, "It's not a book from Xiaoshan's study, you can sell it a little cheaper, and you can always earn your money back." ”
"Master, this Mingyue landlord's book is only printed and distributed in Xiaoshan's study, I'm afraid that what is printed in other studies is not true, it may be fake Mingyue landlord."
Xu Yan explained on the side: "I'm really annoyed, I bought it back and hurriedly looked at it on the road for a while, if it wasn't for the owner of Mingyue Mansion, I didn't look at it in vain, it's too tricky." ”
A woman next to her took out a book from her bookbag and said, "This should be my study on the hill, the words are facing it, and the stone is also facing it, let's compare it." ”
Xu Yan opened her fake book and compared it with the woman's book again, except for the different font layouts, the backlash was almost the same.
"That's not right, isn't Mingyue's book only printed and distributed in Xiaoshan's study, why is this fake book almost exactly the same as the real one!"
Xu Yan shouted: "Master, look, it's really exactly the same." It almost doesn't make a difference, what's going on? ”
"This is called piracy."
Liansheng also flipped through it casually, and there was really not much difference between the two books, but the paper and printing of the fake Xiaoshan study were obviously not as good as the genuine version.
"Steal the version of the hill's study! Master, your word is so wonderful, piracy, it's too accurate. ”
Xu Yan was powerful just now, and there were many people around, who heard that there was no difference between the fake book and Xiaoshan Study's "The Legend of Ruyu", so someone shouted: "Boss, this book is not as good as the one printed in Xiaoshan Study, let's sell it cheaper." I'll have a copy, I only have a hundred texts, do you sell it? ”
The bookstore owner was still depressed just now, but when he heard that the content of the book was about the same, he immediately came to his senses, stood up and patted the dust on his body and said, "Two hundred wen a book, no two prices." ”
"Fake ones are so expensive?"
"What's fake, obviously the content is the same. Two hundred wen a book, half the price of Xiaoshan study! ”
When the onlookers heard that there were 200 copies of the book, they paid for it, and soon, the "Legend of Ruyu" in the bookstore was sold out.
The people dispersed in twos and threes, and Xu Yan stopped the boss and shouted, "Hey, give me 600 yuan!" ”
"Why did you give you money?"
"At first, you said that this book belonged to Xiaoshan Study, one or two silver copies, but now this is all pirated, you sell one for 200 wen, and if I take two copies, shouldn't you refund me 600 wen?"
"This time and that time."
"I don't care about one or the other, you return the money, if you don't return it, we will go to see the official!"
The boss was upset by what Xu Yan said, took out a string of money, counted it, and threw it to Xu Yan: "Six hundred wen also went to see the official, the richer you are, the more stingy you are." ”
Xu Yan took the string of money in her hand, and then she heard a person outside ask: "Boss Gong, you and I are also old acquaintances, isn't it authentic for you to do this." ”
Saying that, he walked into a middle-aged man with a calm temperament and elegant appearance.
"Boss Yan, hehe, I can't lose money if I run a small business."
"The book of the owner of Mingyue Mansion is only exclusively published by me Yan Xiaoshan, how can other families print it simultaneously with me, it must be fake."
"Ah, you are Yan Xiaoshan." Xu Yan exclaimed.
Liansheng patted her and signaled her to maintain her demeanor, Xu Yan ignored it and asked, "Boss Xiaoshan, can you sign this book for me?" This is a book from your little mountain study, not a pirated copy. (To be continued......)
