Tang Ning originally wanted to write a chapter every day for Tang Yaoyao to look at the relief of boredom, but he couldn't help the bitter pleading of the Tang goblin, and reluctantly told her the story of "The Legend of the West Chamber" overnight.

Halfway through the conversation, he realized that something was wrong.

From an artistic point of view, this is a description of the ancient youth breaking the feudal secular thoughts, expressing the desire of young men and women for love, the plot is fascinating, the image is vivid and vivid, the writing is brilliant, and it is very poetic, but if you really want to talk about it, this is the story of a poor scholar who climbed over the wall to steal the lady.

Tang Ning was very sensitive to this kind of thing, worried that Tang Yaoyao thought he was hinting at something or insinuating something, only to find out that his worry was superfluous after finishing speaking, and Tang Goblin didn't think about it at all.

Think about it, after all, it was Tang Yaoyao who climbed over the wall, not him, no matter how you look at it, it can't be considered an insinuation.

But Tang Goblin's behavior still needs to be condemned.

How can there be a sword on someone else's neck to urge a change, see if he will tell her a story in the future, and when she is bored, she will find a way to relieve her boredom.

He spent a day copying a few copies of the manuscript of the first chapter of "The Legend of the West Chamber", and after breakfast the next day, he borrowed a cloak from the shopkeeper Xu, and when he went out with Peng Chen, Tang Xiaoyao followed from behind.

She followed Tang Ning and asked, "What are you doing mysteriously?" ”

Tang Ning said casually: "There is something to go out, you just stay in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, you don't have to follow." ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "Do you want to go to the natural habitat to meet that fox?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "If you want to follow, follow it." ”

This time he went to do business, not to steal the fox, and the reason why he wore it like this was because of some other considerations.

Jingshi is the capital of Chen, the most prosperous city in Chen, and the center of politics and commerce.

What Tang Ning is going to today is the western district of Jingshi, where there are many shops and countless businessmen gathered.

He walked to the side of the road, stopped a woman carrying a vegetable basket, and asked, "Auntie, how do you get to the bookstore here?" ”

"Bookstore?" The woman looked at him, shook her head, and said, "There is no bookstore here. ”

Tang Ning was surprised: "Isn't this the West Market, how can there be no bookstore?" ”

"Not only is there no bookstore here, but there is also no eldest mother." The woman looked at him and left with the basket on her shoulder.

When Tang Ning was stunned, Peng Chen walked over from the front and said, "I found the bookstore." ”

Movable type printing has long existed, and it has developed to this day, it has been very mature, and the book printing of Jingshi is very developed, and Peng Chen found not a bookstore, but a bookstore street.

On both sides of the street, there are more than ten bookstores of all sizes.

Downing walked around the street and finally chose a medium-sized shop and walked in.

A guy was sitting in the shop, saw someone walk in, looked up at him, and asked, "Printing or contributing?" ”

These bookstores will take on some private work on weekdays, and will also print some books for sale, production and marketing one-stop, large bookstores will have some fixed literati to write for them, but also accept contributions from others.

In order to avoid piracy, you only need to bring out some wonderful content when submitting.

Tang Ning hid his body in the cloak and said in a hoarse voice, "Submit." ”

The guy pointed to a table and said, "Leave it alone, you can leave the address and other notices, or come here yourself in five days to see the results." ”

Downing placed the manuscript of the first chapter on the table, turned and walked out of the bookstore.

He didn't choose those shops that looked magnificent, nor did he choose those small shops, but he chose five medium-sized bookstores and submitted the manuscripts.

When he went back, Tang Yaoyao looked at him, pursed his lips, and said, "I thought it was something, such a trivial matter, did it need to be so sneaky?" ”

Tang goblin naturally doesn't understand, although "The Legend of the West Chamber" is wonderful, but the subject matter is also very sensitive, in today's feudal etiquette, male and female defense, who dares to advocate free love over the wall to steal the lady, will be sprayed to death by those Confucians, so the possibility of this book being harmonious is very great.

However, where there is demand, there is a market, and there are more banned books that are not allowed to be sold on the market, and Tang Ning has met several ladies who pull him to sell erotic love, and the more banned books, the better the sales.

Of course, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, and they use a trumpet to save their lives, in order to avoid accidents, it is better to be careful.

The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and he must be guarded against a little, and he has not yet decided whether to use "Li Qing" or simply "Wang Shifu" as a pen name.

……

Jingshi West City, a street of bookstores.

In a bookstore, the guy handed a few manuscripts to a middle-aged man and said, "Shopkeeper, this is a manuscript submitted by someone, you can take a look first." ”

After the middle-aged man took it, he flipped through it casually, shook his head and said, "There is nothing worth printing, it just happens that the thatched house is out of paper, so I will send it one by one in a while." ”

Opposite the bookstore, a man threw a manuscript aside, frowned, and said, "Don't show me goods of this level in the future." ”

In the other study, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The good manuscripts have been taken by those guys, so you can leave us some soup, Ah Fu, the table inside is a little shaky, take this and put it down in the corner......"

Songzhuzhai is located in the bookstore street of Jingshi West City, although it is not comparable to several large bookstores in Baijuanlou and Wenhuatang, but it is also small in scale.

Songzhu Zhai, the guy handed over a stack of manuscripts and said, "Shopkeeper Peng, this is the manuscript submitted today." ”

After the burly shopkeeper took the manuscript, he said, "It's too late to read it now, go back and read it again." ”

He tucked the manuscript under his arm and walked out of the bookstore.

At the same time, Tang Ning has also returned to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, he plans to write the whole "Legend of the West Chamber" first, he is not worried that this book will not be published, even if the shopkeepers of those bookstores have no eyes, there are always people who know the goods.

If it weren't for the fear of risk, he would have done it himself.

He knelt down at the table to write, Tang Yaoyao poked his head to look at it, and found that this draft was all she had read yesterday, she looked away again, picked up a book of strategies and essays next to her, looked at it twice and put it down.

This kind of obscure thing is only read by a boring person like Li Bolan, or the story she saw last night is interesting.

Downing was writing, she was walking around the room alone, and at one point, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

She walked slowly to the bed, lowered her head, picked up a long hair from the bed, and put it in front of her eyes to observe.

The second chapter of Downing had just been written, and a fragrant fragrance wafted from the side.

Tang Yaoyao stood beside him, looking at him with straight eyes.

Tang Ning looked at her and wondered, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

"Don't move." Tang Yaoyao approached him and pulled a hair from his head.

There was a stinging pain in his head, Tang Ning covered his head and said angrily: "What are you doing!" ”

Tang Yaoyao compared his hair with another hair, shook his head and said, "If it's not your hair, how can there be a woman's hair on your bed?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment, looked at her and asked, "You can't forget that you slept in my bed the night before, do you?" ”

Tang Fairy shook his head, "But when I woke up, I had already made my bed." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "That's if you didn't notice." ”

Tang Yaoyao shook his head and said, "Impossible! ”

Tang Ning stretched out his hand to her head and said, "Then I'll pluck a hair of yours and compare it yourself." ”

Tang Fairy hurriedly dodged, stroked his hair, and after careful comparison, said, "It seems to be really mine." ”

Tang Ning wiped his forehead and nodded: "If you want to sleep in the future, remember to clean up the bed." ”

Tang Fairy glanced at his mouth and said, "Who cares about your broken bed......"

Tang Ning glanced at her and continued to write, she herself is not rare, but someone is rare......

Peng House.

Pengfu is located in the west district of Beijing, although it is not called a rich and noble, but it is also a small rich family, the family is doing a book printing business, there is a bookstore in Beijing, several bookstores, and the family background is also solid.

At the dinner table, Shopkeeper Peng looked left and right and asked, "Xiaohe, why didn't you come out to eat?" ”

A woman said, "I just heard the maid say that she was reading in her room, maybe she forgot the hour, Cui'er, you go and call the young lady and let her come over for dinner." ”

The maid answered and walked out quickly.

After a quarter of an hour, the woman raised her head and wondered, "Cui'er has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?" ”

She looked at the other maid and said, "Qin'er, go and see what's going on." ”

After another quarter of an hour, the woman stood up and said, "What's the matter today, the master will eat first, and I'll go and see what the little lotus and the others are doing." ”

After another quarter of an hour, Shopkeeper Peng put down his chopsticks, looked at the room where he was the only one, and looked out with a suspicious expression.
