069 Gossip
Since Zhao Yulang was making trouble at the annual exchange meeting of the booksellers' guild, all booksellers and authors in the entire book market soon knew about it.
It didn't take long for the gossip about Zhao Yulang to have new news.
It turned out that just a few days before the exchange meeting, his outer room, which had been redeemed from the Qinglou, couldn't stand his beating and scolding all day long, so he simply teamed up with the anniversary to take away all his silver and silver tickets while he was not at home, and I heard that it was worth tens of thousands of taels.
After returning home, Zhao Yulang found out about the incident, so he was shocked and hurriedly reported to the official.
However, his outer chamber had already left the capital with the annihilator, and it was not easy to chase him back.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if people can recover it, it is impossible to get back so much money.
Because even if the two people who committed the crime are not used, it is already a common practice in officialdom that under the exploitation of officials at all levels, where is there left. So the money is destined to go down the drain.
According to the neighbor who lives next door, Zhao Yulang, who lost both people and money, has been drinking and scolding people all day since then, among which Chi Fei is the most scolded and ruthless, followed by Ju Yazhai, saying that it is all because of them that he fell into this situation.
Next, full of resentment, he simply took advantage of the exchange meeting and went directly to the venue to find Chi Fei to settle accounts.
However, because Chi Fei didn't come, he quarreled with the golden shopkeeper of Juyazhai, and the matter became bigger and bigger.
After learning the truth, most people looked at this Zhao Yulang with a clown mentality.
Only a small number of people with ulterior motives still mean that he may really be wronged, otherwise how could a good person become like this. But such voices are only a handful, and not many people take them to heart.
The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and for a while, many people suddenly appeared to accuse this Zhao Yulang of being arrogant, with no one in his eyes, and often making disrespectful remarks to others, and now he is to blame for this fate.
Most of the people who said these words were fellow authors who also wrote the human story of the talented people, and there was a suspicion that they were beating the water dogs.
Compared with these people, Chi Fei and Ju Yazhai were very low-key, and they didn't mention it at all, as if nothing had happened.
Although Ju Yazhai did nothing, the booksellers were not stupid, they knew that Mr. Cao, the owner of Ju Yazhai, could not be indifferent to this matter, and the reason why he didn't express his position was just because he didn't want to ruin his demeanor.
This is where Zhao Yulang is stupid, because he is not a native of the capital, he does not know the history of Ju Ya Zhai, let alone the relationship between Ju Ya Zhai and the Book Merchant Guild.
Zhao Yulang thought that Ju Yazhai was just an ordinary bookstore, and he felt that his fame was enough to force Ju Yazhai to abandon the car to protect himself and give up Chi Fei, a rookie author.
It is true that Ju Yazhai has been low-key for many years, but its owner, Cao Dangjia, was one of the main members of the booksellers' guild that year, and his influence in the guild is not trivial, how can such a person be bullied?
In addition, it is rumored that this old Mr. Cao's background is very unusual, and he is not an ordinary businessman. As for whether this rumor is true or not, not many people know.
After this incident, all the booksellers in the capital reached a consensus very clearly: they would never put Zhao Yulang's books on the shelves in the future, even if he changed his pen name, so as not to offend Ju Yazhai.
As a result, without Zhao Yulang's knowledge, the booksellers in the capital have invariably excluded him from the book market, completely cutting off his way to make a comeback.
Because of Zhao Yulang's matter, the entire world of words is filled with an atmosphere of gossip, and many people look at this matter with a mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it is a big deal.
For ordinary readers, this matter did not make any waves, firstly, not many people knew about it, and secondly, most people were more concerned about whether the fifth volume of "Xianxia" could be released as scheduled.
Fortunately, the author Chi Fei himself and Ju Yazhai, who published this book, did not break their promises, and the fifth volume of "Xianxia" was finally released as scheduled under the expectations of everyone.
Since the fourth volume of "Xianxia", there has been a phenomenon of queuing up to buy in advance. This fifth volume is even more exaggerated, with nearly twice as many readers crowded in front of the bookstores early in the morning as before, and everyone was worried that they would not be able to buy it if they went late.
……………………………………
"What, you said you couldn't buy it, how could it be?" Hearing Yahuan Hongxiang's report, Ning Yazhi was so excited that she stood up suddenly.
Hongxiang replied, "Miss, I heard Xiaozhu say that when he went to Juyazhai, it was already crowded with people. Finally, when it was his turn, the book had already sold out. He had to look for it in other bookstores, but it was all the same, and they were all sold out. ”
"Did he really look for them all? Can't find any of them? ”
"Yes, miss, I asked, and he did look for them all, but he really couldn't find them."
"How so?" Ning Yazhi was in a hurry.
Her close-fitting big girl with red sleeves walked up to her and comforted her and said, "Miss, don't worry, there will definitely be new goods in a few days." Wasn't that the same way last time? Just be patient. ”
"But I want to see it now. It's not that you don't know how hard I've waited for this day, and I finally waited for the fifth volume to come out, but I couldn't buy it, how did you let me live. Ning Yazhi's whole face wrinkled.
Red Sleeves smiled: "Okay, Miss, don't wrinkle your face, you look so good, what a pity to wrinkle." ”
Ning Yazhi said angrily: "I'm like this, you still want to be angry with me." Ah, I'm not alive anymore, I'm going to read a book, I'm going to read a book! She screamed as she threw herself on the bed and made a fuss.
Seeing her child-like behavior, not only Red Sleeves, but also Hongxiang, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but want to laugh.
Red Sleeves sat on the edge of the bed and touched her long hair and smiled: "I don't know, I think you have become so studious, Miss." Otherwise, I'll ask Xiaozhu to go to other bookstores tomorrow to look for it, maybe I can find it. ”
Ning Yazhi hung her head and said, "Don't think about it, you won't be able to find it."
"Xianxia" is so popular, if you can't buy it on the first day, you can only wait for the second batch to be listed.
Woo woo, I look forward to the stars and the moon and look forward to today, how can God do this to me. After saying that, she buried her head in the quilt and arched back and forth to vent her emotions.
"Miss, if you do this again, you will mess up your combed hair, be careful that Madame sees you and says about you.
That's okay, let's ask Xiaozhu to go to the young master to find a way. Master Cousin often buys notebooks, and he should know a lot of acquaintances. Or wait for him to read it and borrow it from him. ”
When Ning Yazhi heard this, she suddenly sat up and said, "Yes, acquaintance." It seems that I also know an acquaintance who works in Juyazhai, and he must have a way to help me buy the fifth volume. Red Sleeves, you hurry up and bring the men's outfit from last time, I want it now. ”
Red Sleeves had a very bad premonition, and asked tremblingly, "Miss, are you going out?" ”
"yes, I'm going to go out and find that acquaintance right now."
"Miss, don't, you've already gone out once last time, and if you get caught this time, we'll all be fined."
"It's okay, I'll take Sister Hongying with me, she is so good at martial arts, it's more than enough to protect me. And you know what I'm good at, so I won't be discovered. Go get your clothes and don't bother. ”
Red Sleeves and Red Fragrance knew that once the young lady decided to do something, she would not listen to people's persuasion, so they had to go to get the clothes with a bitter face.
