Chapter 22: It Was Him
Not surprisingly, after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Fan Xiaoxuan was also amused by the history of the Ming Dynasty written in the penmanship of modern novels, and then immersed herself in the book, immersed in the perspective of the guy "Jin Gu Legend" looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, and interpreted the history of the Ming Dynasty from the perspective of "Jin Gu Legend".
After reading for a while, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang started the decisive battle at Poyang Lake, Fan Xiaoxuan closed the book, and then walked to the counter and paid for it, she wanted to buy it back and appreciate it carefully.
In Fan Xiaoxuan's view, a good book, after reading it, is nonsense, only read it carefully, make a cup of tea, read it while tasting tea, read it twice over and over again, and interpret it slowly, so that you can get the fun of reading from it.
As soon as I walked out of Wanhua Bookstore, the phone on my body rang.
Fan Xiaoxuan took the phone, it turned out that her aunt Fan Xiaoyue called, asking her to come over, saying that she had something important to look for her.
"Looking for me on something important? It can't be a blind date, right? Fan Xiaoxuan muttered in her heart, but she still took a taxi with a book and went to the Xijiang branch of the People's Publishing House.
When she arrived, Fan Xiaoyue was already standing outside the publishing house, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a bag in her right hand.
"Auntie, what are you looking for me, in a hurry?" Fan Xiaoxuan smiled when she saw her.
"Anyway, if you just come with me." Fan Xiaoyue said, took her hand and left, it seemed that she wouldn't be able to say it until she reached her destination.
Fan Xiaoxuan was confused for a while, what kind of trouble is this?
Until she arrived at the destination, the elegant Peninsula Hotel, Fan Xiaoxuan followed Fan Xiaoyue into the private room and saw a man and a woman who were already sitting inside.
The woman is old, although she is well-maintained, her skin is fair and elastic, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and sideburns and the vicissitudes of life still reveal her age, at least over forty years old.
The man is very young, just in his twenties, he looks talented, Sven, with dimples on his face and bright eyes when he laughs, he is full of energy, and he is a sunny boy.
Fan Xiaoxuan immediately understood Fan Xiaoyue's purpose for looking for her, and sure enough, it was a blind date, she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, stopped when she was outside, and didn't go in.
Fan Xiaoyue pulled her, didn't pull, turned her head and looked, Fan Xiaoxuan's face was blank, her eyes were resolute, she knew that she was angry, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You kid, you're a big girl in your twenties, and you don't have a boyfriend, if you don't go on a blind date, you can chase one yourself?" Be obedient, be obedient, get to know your aunt, and make friends. My aunt won't force you and the other party to get along, it's all up to your opinion, it's all okay, right? ”
Fan Xiaoxuan smiled bitterly: "Auntie, how many times have you said this kind of rhetoric?" The problem is that I don't mean that at all, and I'm going to be annoyed if you do that! ”
Speaking of the worst, Fan Xiaoxuan accentuated her tone, and her heart was even more impatient to the extreme.
Fan Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "This time my aunt is wrong, but this time it is the last time, right?" The other party is my old classmate, and it is also your mother's classmate, and I have made an appointment, if I don't see each other, my and your mother's faces are not good-looking, you should help your aunt and your mother this time, just this time, and never make your own decisions again, okay? She gestured a finger.
Fan Xiaoxuan immediately softened, but for the sake of herself, she still hardened her heart and said with a straight face: "Just this time, if there is a next time, I won't care, let you lose face!" ”
"No problem!" Fan Xiaoyue replied with a smile, and then took her hand: "What book are you holding in your right hand?" Put it in my bag, it doesn't look good in your hand. ”
Fan Xiaoyue saw "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" held by Fan Xiaoxuan in her hand, frowned, and reached out to take the book.
Fan Xiaoxuan handed her the book and replied casually: ""Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a book about history, written by a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics, which is very good, I like it very much, so I bought a copy. ”
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"? What book is that? Fan Xiaoyue didn't react for a while, until she put the book in her bag and was about to leave, she suddenly looked at Fan Xiaoxuan in surprise: "What are you talking about, that book is "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?" ”
"yes, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Fan Xiaoxuan asked.
Fan Xiaoyue reacted, quickly took the book out of her bag, and then flipped through it.
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"
The Legend of Jin Gu
History should be able to be written beautifully
……
After a while, after a brief flip through it, Fan Xiaoyue immediately recognized the book, and sighed with a complicated expression: "It turned out to be really this book, but I didn't expect it to be published by a publishing house, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
"What a pity? Auntie, do you know this book? Fan Xiaoxuan asked.
"Of course I know about this book, and you've seen the author of it." Fan Xiaoyue nodded and replied.
Fan Xiaoxuan smiled: "Impossible, how could I have met the author of this book?" This is published by the University of Finance and Economics Press, written by graduates of the University of Finance and Economics, and I am from Xijiang University, how can it be...... Ah, no, could it be that the author of this book has ever come to our publishing house to submit a manuscript? ”
Originally, it was joking, but after the worst, Fan Xiaoxuan came to her senses and looked at Fan Xiaoyue with an incredible expression.
Only the guess that she has the most can say why Fan Xiaoyue would have that sentence for her. It's just that the People's Publishing House actually called back such a good book she thought and failed to pass the publication requirements, which is really a bit absurd. What's more, her aunt Fan Xiaoyue is also the deputy editor-in-chief of the Xijiang Branch of the People's Publishing House!
Fan Xiaoxuan couldn't imagine what would happen to her.
Fan Xiaoyue smiled bitterly: "You didn't guess wrong, it's true, this author has really come to our publishing house." However, contrary to what you might imagine, I originally agreed to publish this book, but the president vetoed it. ”
Fan Xiaoxuan shouted, "How is this possible? Why should the president refuse such a good book? The money that should have been made is why why do you want to launch Lu, and the president doesn't want performance? ”
"It's complicated, it's not as simple as you think." Fan Xiaoyue patted the back of her hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about this author, do you know who Lu Dao is?" ”
Fan Xiaoxuan shook her head.
Fan Xiaoyue smiled narrowly: "Actually, I mentioned this author in front of you, and I want to introduce you and him, who knows that Lu Dao was pushed by you." ”
Fan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly became a little hot, and she asked quietly: "No, who is this person?" Auntie, don't sell it. ”
Fan Xiaoyue looked at her niece with deep meaning: "Who else can there be, it's the young man who came to submit last time, my classmate's son, when he went out, I chased him after him and asked you if he was gone." ”
Fan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, and a slightly cramped face that confessed loudly to her involuntarily appeared in her mind, it turned out to be him!
