said that Xu Xiaolangjun successfully persuaded his father to buy a shop on the street.

The geographical location of this shop is excellent, it is in the east of Chengxian Street, which can be said to be the core area of Dinghai County.

The most commendable thing is that this shop also has a small backyard, which just meets the model of the front store and the back factory.

Xu Xiaolangjun named it "Miaofeng Hall".

Since you want to be a bookstore, of course, you must first investigate the business scope of your peers.

After Xu Yan's observation, it was found that there were roughly six types of books operated by the bookstore during the Jiajing period.

The first is the whole book, such as "Thirteen Classics Annotations"; Second, it is said that it is important books, such as "Annotations on the Four Books" and "Annotations on the Five Classics"; the third is the book of the world, which summarizes the things that are opportune in time; Fourth, it is said that the book is basically a collection of old sayings; fifth, it is a book that benefits people, that is, professional books such as medicine and agriculture; Sixth, it is said that it is a useless book.

The first two of these six categories are the mainstream, but the best-selling is the sixth useless book.

What is a useless book? Fiction miscellaneous can all fall into this category.

From this point of view, the "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions" that Xu Yan wants to write are naturally useless books.

Although it is "useless", it is interesting, and Xu Yan is still very confident in these two masterpieces.

Of course, the meal should be eaten in one bite, and the book should be written chapter by chapter.

In a hurry, in a hurry......

On the first day of its opening, there were almost no people coming.

It's not surprising that bookstores generally have their own regular customers, many of whom are repeat customers.

Xu Yan wanted to grab food, so he naturally had to think of more ways.

Publicity must come first, and after thinking about it again, he decided to make the first episode of Journey to the West into a separate brochure and distribute it free of charge in Dinghai County.

Xu Mansion has manpower, but it is just a day's work.

The poem says: Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one sees it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity.

Covering the masses of beings to look up to benevolence, inventing all things to be good. If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must watch the Legend of Journey to the West.

Feeling Pangu opened up, the three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun, and the world was divided into four major continents: Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent, and North Julu Continent. This book list is Dongsheng Shenzhou. There is a country overseas, called Proud Country. The country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, which is called Huaguo Mountain. This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents, the dragon of the three islands, since the opening of the turbidity and standing, Hongmeng after the judgment. What a mountain! There are words to prove it, and it is said:

The town is full of oceans, and Weining Yaohai. The town is full of oceans, and the tide swells into the hole; Weining Yao Sea, the waves turn over the snow and the waves are miraged. The corners of water and fire are high and the East China Sea is towering. Danya strange stones, cutting walls and peaks. On the Dan cliff, the colorful phoenix sings; Before cutting the wall, the unicorn lies alone. Listen to the rooster crowing at the peak, and watch the dragon enter and exit every time the grottoes are watched. There are longevity deer fairy foxes in the forest, and there are spirit birds and cranes in the trees. Yao grass and strange flowers are not grateful, green pines and cypresses are elusive. Immortal peaches often bear fruit, and the bamboo is left in the clouds. A ravine vine is dense, and the grass of the original embankment on all sides is new. It is the Baichuan Optimus Prime, the root of the earth that cannot be moved by all catastrophes.

At the top of that mountain, there was a fairy stone. Its stone is three feet six feet five inches high, and has two feet and four feet around the circle. 3 zhang 6 feet 5 inches high, 365 degrees per week; Two feet and four feet around the circle, according to the political calendar twenty-four gas. There are nine holes and eight holes, according to the nine palace gossip. There are no trees on all sides to shade it, and there are Zhilan on the left and right. Since the opening of the cover, every innocent show, the day and the moon, feel for a long time, then have the meaning of well-informed. Inner breeding immortals. One day bursts, laying a stone egg, as big as a round ball. Because he saw the wind, he turned into a stone monkey. ”

Xu Yan is still very satisfied with this opening. There is literary brilliance and suspense, which is easy to arouse people's interest.

At the end of the booklet, it is also written that I want to know how to go next time, and I will go to Myomine Hall to take a look.

I believe that after the people in the city read this first time, they will rush to Miaofeng Hall.

......

pressed these and did not say it, but said that Chen Maoli went to Shaoxing for a study tour shortly after returning to Cixi County.

During his study tour, he participated in many literati collections, during which he mentioned several peerless poems written by Xu Yan in Ningbo.

For a time, Xu Yan became famous, and his poems were widely spread in Shaoxing Shilin.

Shaoxing people pay the most attention to literary talents, and a genius boy like Xu Yan is naturally highly respected.

Among Xu Yan's many admirers is a talent from Shanyin County, Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wei came from a declining official family in Shanyin County, although he was a Xiucai at the age of 20, but he failed to pass the township examination twice. What is even more tragic is that when he was twenty-five years old, his family property was seized by the squire bullies, and his house and land were gone. The following year, his wife Pan died of illness again.

His family was ruined and he failed the imperial examination, so far Xu Wei was desperate for life and didn't want to stay in this sad place.

He urgently needs a change of environment and start from scratch!

It was at this time that he became acquainted with Chen Maoli. From Chen Maoli's mouth, Xu Wei learned about Xu Yan and admired Xu Yan's talent.

Chen Maoli saw that Xu Wei's life was difficult, so he recommended Xu Wei to go to Dinghai County to join Xu Yan.

After all, Xu Yan was righteous and arrogant, which left an excellent impression on Chen Maoli.

Xu Wei weighed it and decided to give it a try.

Anyway, there are no more people and things in Shaoxing that he is nostalgic for, so he left.

So the twenty-six-year-old Xu Wei packed his bags and left his hometown and went to Ningbo alone.

......

......

"The water is flattened, and each flows east, west, north and south.

Life also has a life, can An Xingxing sigh and sit down?

Drink wine to forgiveness, raise a glass to cut off the song road.

Isn't there no sense of heart without wood and stone? Swallowing his voice hesitated, he didn't dare to speak. ”

Xu Wei handed over the last coil to the coachman and jumped out of the carriage with the package on his back.

Looking at the gate of Dinghai County, he looked stunned.

After entering the city as usual, Xu Wei went to look for the address left for him by Chen Maoli, and came to the gate of Xu's mansion without much effort.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wei mustered up the courage to step forward and knock on the door.

Soon the door opened, and the gatekeeper of the Xu Mansion walked out of it.

Xu Wei took out the name card that he had prepared a long time ago and presented it with both hands.

"Xu Wenchang, a talented talent in Shanyin County, was recommended by Chen Luqing, a friend of Cixi, and asked to see the prince of your mansion."

He had already decided that he wanted to stay no matter what, so he lowered his posture very low.

Since the imperial examination is hopeless, you have to find a way to make a living, and being a staff member is the best choice.

The porter did not say anything after receiving the post, but closed the door.

Xu Wei had no choice but to wait, so he closed his eyes and cultivated his mind.

After some time, he heard the door open again.

Xu Wei opened his eyes and found a smile on the porter's face.

"My son-in-law is invited, please come with me."

Xu Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

It seems that Xu Gongzi is planning to see him, this is really a mountain and a river, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
