"Young master, young master, I discovered a secret." Qin Bao came to the study and whispered to Liang Yuesong.

"What's the secret?" Liang Yuesong was writing hard at the desk, but asked casually.

"The lord is also reading the book you wrote." Qin Bao said excitedly.

"Huh?" Liang Yuesong stopped his pen and raised his head in exclaim, and then asked, "What is his reaction?" ”

"I went to the master's study just now, and he was fascinated. Qin Bao said happily: "Young master, you don't know how popular this book is, and now even the storytellers in the teahouse are talking about your book." ”

"Oh, is it? That's great! Do you know how many sets of books Boss Xin has sold there? "Liang Yuesong is most concerned about how much money he can make.

"I don't know, I see that his bookstore has a lot of customers, and there are a lot of people who go to urge books. There are many literate people in the city, and there must be many people who buy books. Qin Bao replied.

At this time, Boss Xin was explaining to the porter of Santang: "Poor master, I really have something to do with Liang Gongzi." ”

"Looking for Liang Gongzi? What are you looking for him? The porter wondered.

Boss Xin remembered Liang Yuesong's advice and said, "I can't say it now, please tell him that Boss Xin of Xianji Bookstore is looking for him, and he will naturally let me in." ”

The porter saw that he was mysterious and sneaky, and remembered that the adults and his wife were not allowed to let outsiders disturb Gongzi's study, so he did not go to report to Liang Gongzi, but went directly to report to the master.

Liang Wensheng also felt strange when he heard about this, so he asked the porter to take him to the second hall.

Boss Xin came to the state government for the first time, and was taken into the second hall in a daze, and after a while, Liang Wensheng walked in wearing civilian clothes. Chang Sui Liang Wenhui said: "This is Lord Liang of Zhizhou, if there is anything you can tell your lord." ”

Boss Xin was so frightened that his legs became weak, thinking that I was here to find Liang Gongzi, how could I lure out the great god of his father, I didn't commit any crimes! Involuntarily, he knelt down on his knees and said, "Xiaomin greets Lord Zhizhou." Xiaomin gave Liang Gongzi silver. ”

When Liang Wensheng heard that he was here to deliver silver, he couldn't help but be furious: "A bold fanatic, he dares to openly bribe his own official, and someone will give me a twenty-big board for me first!" ”

When Boss Xin heard that Lord Liang was going to beat him, he hurriedly explained: "Hey, hey, don't fight, don't fight!" I gave Liang Gongzi silver, not a bribe. ”

"Bribing the official's family, waiting for peers to bribe the official, and waiting for the shoppers to dare to quibble!" Liang Wensheng shouted angrily.

"No, no, my lord, it's not a bribe. This is what Liang Gongzi deserves, and it is the manuscript fee. The villain sent the manuscript fee to Liang Gongzi this time, and brought back the manuscript by the way. Boss Xin hurriedly explained clearly, otherwise he would really be beaten.

This time it was Liang Wensheng's turn to be puzzled, his son actually wrote a book? How did I not know this? He asked Boss Xin: "What manuscript?" What book did he publish with you? ”

Seeing that Lord Liang no longer beat him, Boss Xin was not afraid. He replied truthfully: "He signed a contract with the villain, and our Xianji Bookstore will exclusively publish his novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". My lord, your son is really talented. At a young age, he wrote this kind of grand masterpiece, and now this book is hot & selling, and it is popular in Juzhou. The villain is preparing to go to the north and south to distribute this book. ”

Liang Wensheng was even more puzzled, he was also reading this book, and it was indeed wonderful. This turned out to be written by Song'er? What does the son know to know and write this kind of novel? He seriously doubted! He immediately sent for his son to confront him.

After Liang Yuesong came to the second hall, she saw Boss Xin at first sight. Only then did I remember that I only told him that I would not let outsiders know the identity of the author, but my father was not an outsider. In this case, I can only admit it.

Since Liang Yuesong wanted to admit it, he pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Boss Xin, why did you come to urge the draft in less than a month?" ”

When Liang Wensheng heard his son say this, a wave of anger suddenly rose, no wonder he didn't come out when he got into the study these days, it turned out that he was writing a novel! He lied to me and said that he was reading! But because of the presence of Boss Xin, he didn't break out immediately.

"Liang Gongzi, I'm here to deliver silver. Ah no, it's the manuscript fee. Saying that, Boss Xin took out a stack of bills from his sleeve and handed it to Liang Yuesong and said, "Liang Gongzi, it's inconvenient for me to bring cash here, so I will deposit the silver in the money shop in advance." This is a receipt for the silver from the Xiangrong money shop in the city, with which the cash can be retrieved. By the way, have you written the 100,000-word manuscript? Now this book is very popular, and it is printed early to make money. ”

Liang Wensheng, who was sitting on the side, was shocked when he heard that the remuneration was 1,000 taels. The son can make more money than himself, an official, and this is only a thousand taels of silver a month? The flame rising in my heart was extinguished quite a bit.

Liang Yuesong asked disappointedly, "Why are there so few?" How many copies have you sold this month? ”

"Liang Gongzi, don't worry. The accounts will never be wrong, this month's typesetting and printing was delayed for a few days, and I didn't have time to contact my counterparts in the north and south, so there was less. You can rest assured that it will at least quadruple next month. Boss Xin said with an apologetic face.

"Well, I'll trust you for now. If there is no improvement next month, I will stop changing and find someone else to cooperate. Liang Yuesong said reluctantly. Then, he asked Qin Bao to bring the manuscript from the study to Boss Xin.

Boss Xin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to the root of his ears. The wrinkles on his face were all gathered together, like a wrinkled bread. Immediately stuffed the manuscript into his sleeve, thanked Liang Wensheng and his son, and hurriedly retreated.

After Boss Xin left, Liang Wensheng's eyes widened angrily and stared straight at his son. Liang Yuesong knew that he had deceived his parents and caused a big disaster. In the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, which paid attention to the three outlines and five constants, children deceived their parents, which was disobedience and unfilial piety, which was a big crime!

Liang Yuesong lowered her head and shrank in her chair, and said cowardly, "Father, don't be angry. It was my mistake that I shouldn't have lied to you. I saw that my family was living a hard life, so I tried to write books to make some money......"

Before Liang Wensheng could finish speaking, he grabbed a teacup from the small table and threw it at his son. At the same time, he scolded in his mouth: "You unproductive thing, let you study hard, but you secretly write books!" You think it's that easy! ”

Liang Yuesong saw the teacup flying towards him, and hurriedly bounced up from the chair, the teacup did not hit, but the tea splashed a lot on his body.

Liang Wenhui, who was standing on the side, also hurriedly persuaded: "The adult is angry, and the son is also thinking about the family." Then he said to Liang Yuesong: "Don't hurry up and admit your mistake to adults." As he spoke, he gave him a look and pointed at Liang Yuesong's sleeve.

Liang Yuesong understood what he meant, and hurriedly said: "Father, you are angry!" It's all my fault! It's me who is wrong!"

As he spoke, he took out the receipt of the silver that had not yet been retained from his sleeve, took out a hundred taels, and put the rest on the table, saying, "These nine hundred taels are for you." I assure you that next autumn is guaranteed to be lifted. ”

Liang Wensheng looked at the silver ticket on the table and said, "I don't want silver, I want a manuscript." As a father, I must review the manuscript for you first, and there should be no forbidden content! ”

"Huh?" Liang Yuesong was stunned by his father's words just now, and said in his stomach: If you want to read the book, just say it, and it is called a reviewer, is there a father like you who violently urges changes?
