Shopkeeper Peng set the price of a volume of "The Legend of the West Chamber" at 500 Wen, which is a bit more expensive than other books on the market, but it is not much more expensive.

Movable type printing has been more than 100 years, and papermaking has also made great progress, which has led to the development of Chen Guo's book printing industry, but it is only compared to a hundred years ago, in general, the cost of printing books is still not low, and books are still not something that ordinary people can afford.

Five hundred wen is a huge amount of money for the poor people, but most of those who can read and hyphenate are not poor people.

Shopkeeper Peng looked at him and said: "The price of 500 wen can only last for about five days, and the bookstores on this street have all set their eyes on our "West Chamber", and after five days, they will be able to print it by themselves, and at that time, our price will be reduced......"

There is no copyright awareness in this world, and if you want to make money by printing books, you have to seize the opportunity, and once the pirated copies come out, you won't have much to earn.

Here, most of the people who make a living by writing books are poor talents who are mixed with food and clothing.

So Tang Ning didn't think about printing "The Legend of the West Chamber" at all, and when other bookstores printed the first and second volumes of "The Legend of the West Chamber", the third volume of Songzhuzhai had already been printed, and after others got the third volume, they had to typeset, print, and sell, and wait for another five days, and five days later, the fourth volume of Songzhuzhai had just been freshly baked.

As long as Shochikuzhai can maintain the speed of leading one volume, he will be able to seize most of the market in Jingshi, and by the time others print it, it will already be a plot that most people have seen.

Although there are still some losses and regrets, they eat meat, and they have to leave some soup for others to drink, otherwise, those red-eyed guys don't know what kind of incident will happen.

"Childe was really prescient." In the past two days, a lot of money has been in the account, and the fat on the face of the shopkeeper Peng is trembling, and he said with a smile: "I will have people put up a sign at the door in a while, writing the sales time of the third volume, and then let people hurry up and print it......"

Shopkeeper Peng's attitude towards him had taken a 180-degree turn, and Tang Ning handed him the manuscript of the third volume, and he immediately took it down and arranged it.

Soon he walked back and said, "Do you want to settle the profits of these two days to Gongzi first?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "In the future, let's settle by volume." ”

Shopkeeper Peng nodded and said, "Then according to what the son said, it will be settled in five days." ”

Tang Ning walked out of Songzhuzhai and looked back at the long queue at the door of the bookstore, and he was still satisfied.

Leaving this kind of thing to a special person to do, it is really much more convenient, on the second day of the sale of "The Legend of the West Chamber", there can be such a grand occasion, and I think that the shopkeeper Peng has also done a lot of publicity.

Tang Yaoyao stood beside him, holding a copy of the "Legend of the West Chamber" printed and illustrated by Songzhufang in his hand, looked at Tang Ning again, and said, "Miss Li Qing, I see how you will explain to Xiaoyi at that time." ”

"If you don't say it, I don't say it, how can Xiaoyi know?" Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "Maybe she has forgotten about Li Qing." ”

Although she had a correspondence with Xiaoyi as Li Qing, she had no contact since then, and perhaps she had long forgotten about Tang Fairy's distant cousin.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said, "In the morning, Uncle Xu received a letter from Lingzhou, which was sent by my father, and he said in the letter that Uncle Zhong and Xiaoyi had already left for Beijing. ”

Although it will be slower to go to Beijing with their families, in terms of time, they will arrive in Beijing by mid-February at the latest.

At that time, he could no longer live in the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

He still has to hurry up and make money, judging from the current situation, when "The Legend of the West Chamber" is all out, he will probably be able to save enough money to buy a big house in Beijing.

In addition, Downing thought of one more thing.

When he moves out of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, if that room is occupied, Su Fox will have no place to sleep, and the room in the Red Sleeve Pavilion will be redundant anyway, so it is better to let the shopkeeper Xu vacate the room, and let her have a place to rest.

Said Su Fox Su Fox arrived, Tang Ning returned to the room and saw her sitting at the table, Tang Fairy was still below and did not come up, Tang Ning closed the door, Su Mei looked at him, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of that little goblin......?"

Tang Ning didn't continue the topic, stepped forward, and asked, "Why didn't you sleep today?" ”

"Can't sleep." Su Mei looked at the bed in the corner, and said with some nostalgia: "I'm about to leave Beijing, come and talk to you." ”

"Leaving Beijing?" Tang Ning looked at her in surprise and asked, "Where are you going, are you coming back?" ”

Su Mei smiled at him, her voice softened suddenly, and asked, "What, are you reluctant to let people go?" ”

Tang Ning glanced at her and asked, "People, who are they?" ”

"What a guy who doesn't understand the amorous ......" Su Mei looked at him and said, "Don't worry, it's just to go out of Beijing to do some things, at least for a month, more than a few months, I hope that when I come back, I can already call you Zhuangyuanlang......"

Tang Ning didn't have many friends in Beijing, and there was only Su Mei who could play cards with him, she suddenly left Beijing for so long, he was a little surprised, after thinking about it, he looked at her and said, "You are a girl, pay attention to safety outside." ”

That being said, Su Fox can't be treated as a woman at all, but the man who meets him should be more careful, if he is not careful, he will fall under her pomegranate skirt, and he can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north.

"Girls?" Su Mei couldn't help laughing: "My sister is not a girl anymore......"

Tang Ning still remembered that the last time she fell asleep and hugged her arm, she was going to kill herself when she woke up------ she was obviously an untrained little girl, and she had to pretend to be like she had gone through the world, for the sake of not being able to beat her, Tang Ning was too lazy to demolish him.

Su Mei looked at him and said, "You have to take the exam well, I don't know if Zhuangyuanlang's bed will sleep differently......"

Tang Xiaoyao knocked on the door outside and asked, "Who are you talking to?" ”

Su Mei waved his hand one last time, and the figure disappeared by the window.

Tang Ning opened the door, Tang Yaoyao glanced inside, and asked, "I seem to have heard a woman's voice just now." ”

"Misheard...... Tang Ning shook his head, looked at her, and said: "You are just too idle, all auditory hallucinations, if it's okay, I'll teach you to play mahjong, you can kill time when you're bored in the future......"

……

In the blink of an eye, it was another ten days, and the book "West Chamber" had been published in five volumes, and the plot was gradually getting better, and gradually set off a "West Chamber" craze in Beijing.

The story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying tugged at the heartstrings of countless people, and many young men and women in Beijing regarded it as a classic.

What girl has not imagined that there can be a wishful husband, it may be a handsome young man, riding a white horse to their side, or maybe a talented man with a full stomach of wealth who recites poetry across the wall, this is the dream they weave for themselves, although after waking up from the dream, they have to accept the orders of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, and spend the rest of their lives with a person who does not know what to look like and does not know how to behave.

Now, this talented man named Li Qing writes their dreams on paper, they read Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, but they think of themselves.

For a time, whether it was a famous girl or a woman from an ordinary family, whenever they got together, they all talked about the West Chamber......

There are praises and disadvantages, and there are many people who believe that women should read books such as "Women's Rings" and "Women's Training", the book "West Chamber" describes that the scholar climbs the wall to meet the lady privately, and the lady secretly goes to the scholar's room to spend the night, which is a bad moral, disregarding the evil behavior of etiquette and law, and the remarks that "The West Chamber" is a cancer are also increasing.

However, whether it is positive or negative, the sales of the book "West Chamber" are even more popular.

Tang Ning was in the Red Sleeve Pavilion and couldn't hear the sound outside, when everyone had mixed opinions about "The Legend of the West Chamber", he calculated the account book in the room, and after the calculation, he sat on the bed and counted the money.

Putting down the account book, he pushed aside a pile of silver tickets and muttered, "No, there are two taels of silver missing......
