The opening of Xinhua Bookstore did not cause any waves in Chang'an City, that is, industry insiders like Zheng Zhangjiao paid a little attention.

"Shopkeeper, I just went in and read it, this Xinhua bookstore, there is nothing new at all, nothing more than a few copies of "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn" are placed in it to sell, and the price is almost the same as ours, except for a few fresh readers who went in and walked around, there were no customers all morning, let alone how many books were sold."

Ah San rushed to the shopkeeper Zheng and reported to him the news he had personally found out today.

"Nothing special?"

Shopkeeper Zheng listened to Ah San's words and breathed a sigh of relief, but the confusion was even greater.

This doesn't look like the style of the Chu Palace.

It's not enough to open a bookstore like this, and you can't make much money at all.

The Chu Wangfu is not short of this money from selling books, right?

I don't understand!

I don't understand!

"It's true, where Xinhua Bookstore can be seen by outsiders, I have walked around inside and out, there is really nothing special. If you have to say something special, it is that the decoration of their shop is too simple, which makes people feel empty. ”

"It's strange that such a big shop, and there are few customers, doesn't feel empty." Shopkeeper Zheng felt that maybe he was too suspicious, then Li Kuan was only a teenager after all, even if he had a superb level of poetry, it was impossible to even sell books better than himself, right?

"Hey! I'm curious about how long this Xinhua bookstore can last! ”

……

Sukoku Mansion.

"Good! That's great! ”

Cheng Yanjin, who has always been a dislike of reading, rarely holds a book in his hand and sits there reading it with relish.

"Grandpa, what kind of book is so good, so that you, a person who has never read a book, is so fascinated by it, you haven't even noticed that your daughter has been standing beside you for so long."

Cheng Jingwen pouted and shook Cheng Jin's arm.

"Jingwen is here!" Cheng Yanjin glanced at Cheng Jingwen, and immediately shifted his gaze to the book again, "Do you want to sit aside and read this book with Grandpa?" ”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Cheng Jingwen poked her head under the book and saw four big characters written on the title page, "Grandpa, the story of "Three Kingdoms" is your favorite to read, but haven't you read it countless times, you can almost go to Wuheju to tell stories." ”

"It's different, this time it's different. Look at this writing, Taoyuan Three Knots, and Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu, it's so exciting, it's really exciting. Cheng Biting Jin said in his mouth, but his head was not raised, "I don't know who wrote this book, and I don't know where to buy it, Grandpa still went to Wuheju for dinner yesterday, listened to the storyteller, and bought it back from someone for ten taels of silver." ”

"Books are readily available, and there is always a place to sell them. If you tell people what the storyteller is robbing, be careful that those imperial histories impeach you again. Cheng Jingwen said with a concerned face, and at the same time leaned over her little face to see what was written in the book.

"Hey! It's really not, do you think your grandfather likes to rob other people's books? I asked my subordinates to walk around the eastern and western cities, but they couldn't find the book, so I bought it from the storyteller. ”

"Hmph, I'm embarrassed to say buy it, you are robbing it!"

……

There are not a thousand storytellers in Chang'an City, but hundreds.

As long as you are not blind, after reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you know that this is a good book.

And when I saw Guo Dezhi's fast-acting storytellers move "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the restaurant to tell stories, it aroused a warm response, and a group of people immediately followed up.

There are such a large number of free propaganda "loudspeakers", and the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" among the people of Chang'an City has risen sharply.

"Father, you've had a hard day, do you want to rest for a while. Lizhi has a gift for you. ”

Li Lizhi came to Li Shimin's side with a mysterious face, put her hands behind her back, and didn't know what she was hiding.

"Lizhi is here." Li Shimin showed a rare kind smile, "Do you have any gifts for your father?" ”

As an emperor, Li Shimin is often harsh on his sons, but he is very indulgent and doting on his daughters.

The love of the back room will be so miserable, and Li Shimin's doting on his daughter has something to do with it.

"Bell, bell! Father, look, what is this? Li Lizhi took out a book from behind her back.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" When Li Shimin saw the title of the book, he was stunned for a moment, "Don't you hate reading history books the most?" How did you remember to buy a history book for your father? ”

Li Shimin is familiar with the history books of all dynasties, and when he saw "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he didn't feel too surprised.

"Father, this is not a history book, you can see it by reading a few pages, it will definitely make you love it, and my daughter also got this book by accident, and now in Chang'an City, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is hard to find."

Li Lizhi saw that Li Shimin was not happy because of his gift, and raised her head a little arrogantly.

"Alright, alright! The book recommended by Lizhi, my father believes that it must be a good book, so read it right away. ”

Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, as soon as he saw Li Lizhi's expression, Li Shimin knew what to do.

"Humph! If my father is not satisfied with this book, I will go and find out all the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Chang'an City with Sister Xueyan and burn them. ”

Li Shimin smiled and turned to the first page.

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

Li Shimin shuddered, immediately sat up straight, and began to read the book seriously.

There is a saying that there are three golden chapters in later online novels, that is, whether the first three chapters are good or not basically determines the fate of the book.

This truth may not be all right, but a good book is often wonderful at the beginning.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is obviously in line with this logic, the beginning is the story of the three knots of Taoyuan, and it is a familiar story, so readers can't help but be fascinated by it.

"Father, father, it's time for dinner."

Li Shimin doesn't like it, and Li Lizhi will be unhappy.

But Li Shimin liked the books he gave very much, and he read them intently for more than an hour, and he sat alone on the side for a long time.

It doesn't seem like a happy thing.

finally got up to the time for dinner, and Li Lizhi hurriedly reminded Li Shimin to put down his books.

"I'm not hungry, let's eat later."

"No, the queen mother has said, father, you must eat on time every day."

Li Li saw that she couldn't move Li Shimin, so she immediately carried the eldest grandson queen out.

"Got it, got it! I'm going to eat it after reading this chapter! ”
