Chapter 215: King Kang's Invitation

This was the last night in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and Tang Ning rarely accompanied Su Mei to get out of bed for a while and left the room with her.

Of course, he walked through the door, and Su Mei still walked through the window.

"Goodbye, Childe!"

Several girls stood at the door and waved at him, with a reluctant expression, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Zhong Yi said with some doubts: "Why did Xianggong come back so late today, the food is cold, I'll go and help Xianggong warm up." ”

"Got a little more sleep in the morning." Tang Ning walked to the table and said, "Don't bother, it's not too cold, just eat like this." ”

Zhong Yi tried the temperature of the meal, and found that it was not very cold, so he sat down opposite Tang Ning and said, "Xianggong, the county lord of Anyang invites, the concubine will go over with Miss Zhao tomorrow and come back later." ”

The county lord of Anyang has a wide range of connections in Beijing, and he often holds banquets of various celebrities, inviting people with faces in Beijing, even Tang Ning participated once, and he was very unhappy with that Lu Teng.

has a father who is a county magistrate in Ping'an, and he can be regarded as stepping into the circle of famous ladies and nobles in Beijing, and it is also necessary to meet more friends.

When she was in Lingzhou, she was the first talented woman, and she had a lot of social occasions on weekdays, so she should be able to easily control such a situation.

Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the meeting place?" ”

"Natural dwelling." Zhong Yi smiled and said: "The guest is on the natural residence, actually the heavenly guest, the concubine has not yet arrived in Beijing, I have heard of the name of the natural residence, the last time I went was at night, I didn't see the interior of the garden, this time I want to take a good look." ”

Although he believes in Xiaoyi, all circles in Jingshi are not peaceful, and between women and women, even more so, more than three women together, it is inevitable to intrigue, Tang Ning is still a little worried about her.

He originally wanted Tang Yaoyao to go with him, but the county lord of Anyang didn't invite her, and it was not good to come uninvited, so he thought about it and told Su Mei to let her help take care of it when the time came.

Su Fox is a human spirit, and on ordinary occasions, she can settle down.

However, it was a little late to tell him about this matter, otherwise he could have talked to Su Mei yesterday, and now he would have to go to the natural residence in person.

Tang Yaoyao walked in from outside and asked, "Is your writing ready?" ”

Downing looked at her and asked, "What book?" ”

Tang Yaoyao frowned: "Didn't you say that you would write a volume first in the evening and let them take it for printing first?" ”

Tang Ning then remembered that he had chatted with Su Mei last night and forgot to write a manuscript......

He looked at Tang Yaoyao and said, "It's already written, I'll check it again, and I'll give it to you in the afternoon." ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and suddenly asked, "You can't be that you haven't written yet, right?" ”

"How is that possible?" Tang Ning frowned and looked at her, and said, "What kind of friendship do we have, you actually don't believe me, why don't I take it out for you to see now?" ”

Tang Yaoyao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

……

Tang Ning sat at the table and wrote, and Tang Xiaoyao sat opposite him and stared.

Her approach made Tang Ning very disappointed, as a good friend and business partner, he didn't even give him the most basic trust, which made him hesitate in his heart, if there was any money-making business in the future, should he look for her.

I have known him for so long, Tang Yaoyao's trust in him is not as good as Su Mei, who has only known him for a few months, Su Fox dares to sleep in the same bed with him at night, what kind of trust is this?

Tang Xiaoyao knocked on the table and said loudly: "What a daze, write quickly!" ”

Tangning sighed, dipped in ink, and began to put pen to paper.

"In the ancient love scene, who is sincere? But if there is sincerity, it will eventually become a connection. Thousands of miles of sorrow about the south and the north, the two hearts talk about life and death. Laughing at the children of the world, they are ruthless. Feeling the golden stone, returning to heaven and earth......"

It took half an hour for Tang Ning to finish the first volume of "The Palace of Eternal Life", he rubbed his sour wrist, and when he put down the pen, he found that Tang Yaoyao was asleep on the table.

She rested her hands on the table, sleeping on her side, with a hint of crystal at the corner of her mouth.

Tang Ning lifted the pen, and it took a while to resist the urge to draw a Wang Ba on her face.

Relying on his strong martial arts, he actually did something that forced people to write, if it weren't for the fear that she would wake up and beat him, he would have drawn this Wang Ba.

Wang Ba didn't dare to paint, so it was okay to take revenge by pulling her face while she was asleep, after all, this kind of opportunity is not common.

Tang Ning looked left and right to make sure no one would come in, reached out and pinched her cheek and tugged, Tang Xiaoyao's eyes opened suddenly.

Her gaze went from confused to sober, and it only took a moment for Tang Ning's face to remain unchanged, and she said, "I'm done, I just wanted to call you, and you woke up." ”

Tang Yaoyao sat up straight, looked at him and asked, "What did you want to do just now?" ”

"Wake you up, what else can you do?" Tang Ning handed her the first volume and said, "By the way, this volume, you have to let them print it quickly, and print as many as they can." ”

Tang Yaoyao rubbed his eyes and sat up and asked, "Why?" ”

Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "You are stupid, if you print less, others can't buy it, and when those pirated prints come out, and the guests don't all go to buy their homes, how can we make money?" ”

The problem of piracy had been thought about before he was ready to open a bookstore.

Chen Guoke does not have a copyright protection law, and piracy is inevitable.

Sell it in volumes, and release a volume every few days before they pirate it, in order to maximize profits.

And each volume, naturally, the more printed, the better, after the piracy cycle, don't think about making a lot of money.

With sales experience in "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", Tang Ning can probably judge a more accurate supply and demand figure.

The best way is to license it to those pirates, but in this era, there is no copyright protection, and fools will use money to buy things that can be obtained without spending money.

"What?" Tang Xiaoyao finally came to his senses, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Whoever dares to steal our books, I will go and smash their store!" ”

"Calm down...... Tang Ning stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said: "Violence can't solve the problem, if you smash their shop, they will still steal it, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Forget it." Tang Ning waved his hand, there are no examples of copyright protection in ancient times, but he doesn't have the strength to do it, and he doesn't want to take this risk.

There are so many pirated booksellers in Jingshi, and wanting to take a share of them is tantamount to taking food from the mouth of a tiger, unless you are a tiger yourself, or a tiger is willing to help you.

Downing himself was not a tiger, nor did he encounter another tiger.

Qing'er ran in from outside, put something on the table, and said, "Uncle, there is an invitation." ”

"Who sent the invitation?"

Qing'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, it was sent by the official at the door, and my uncle will know when I open it." ”

Tang Ning opened the invitation, and after a while, he whispered: "Tomorrow afternoon, the natural residence, King Kang invites a banquet?" ”

Xiao Jue walked in from outside and asked, "King Kang also invited you, do you want to go?" ”

"Go." Tang Ning nodded and said, "Why don't you go?" ”

Although he and King Kang are not in the same boat, they are on the same front, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, they have a common goal, and it is normal for them to move around each other.

His eyes looked at Xiao Jue again, and said, "You came just in time, call all your people up and help me move......

Tang Ning didn't have much to move, and a few large boxes were all he needed.

The house was repaired, he hadn't had time to hire a maid and a servant, Xiaoyi wouldn't move over for the time being, the third uncle and the third aunt bought a small house nearby, Xiaoru moved over to live with them, so, before getting married, there were only Tang Ning and Xiaoxiao, and the old beggar.

There is a little cheap master here, and he doesn't need to invite any nursing home, he is very relieved.

It was late at night, and Tang Ning was lying on the big bed in the new house, sleeping soundly.

At the same time, in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, somewhere on the second floor, a figure turned over and over, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
