It wasn't until the hour that a young man entered the backyard and saw Yuan Jiuli sitting on the bench, so he said with a bitter face: "Mr. Yuan, why did you come again, didn't you tell you, your book can't be published, you better go back." ”

Yuan Jiuli got up with his hands behind his back and came to the young man, "It's not the previous book for a long time, the old man has written a new one, you can take a look!" As he spoke, he took the book out of his arms and handed it over, "Please ask Xiao Cui to review it." ”

Xiao Cui took it and sighed when he looked at the title of the book, "Mr. Yuan, you can choose one of the four books and five classics as a note, and I will print a hundred and ten copies for you with the love of master and apprentice." But you just want to annotate the books of enlightenment, and those who can understand your annotations have already thoroughly eaten the "Three Character Classic", who will buy it. ”

"The old man has taught 'three thousand hundreds' all his life and has accumulated a lot of experience, why do you want to make notes on the books that go to the side. Who said that no one would buy the "Commentary on the Three Character Classic", if it was a young gentleman who was interested in teaching, he would not buy it? ”

Yuan Jiuli suddenly sniffed at Xiao Cui, "It's so heavy that you didn't come to work so late, shouldn't you go to Qinhuai River again, did you forget that you were fifteen years old and almost broke your grandfather's leg because of something." ”

"Sir, I was discussing business with a few booksellers last night, don't mention it to grandpa."

"It's okay not to mention it, you gave my book, and the old man came with money and didn't need you to make up for it. If you don't want movable type, you want a wood carving version, and the old man wants to treasure this thing. ”

"Okay, well, since you want to print the book at your own expense, the students have nothing to say. It's cold outside, so sit inside the room. Xiao Cui hurriedly opened the door and invited Yuan Jiuli into the house.

Yuan Jiuli beckoned behind him, "Brother Luo, come in together." ”

The two of them entered the house, and Xiao Cui made a pot of tea and poured it for the two, "This gentleman also prints books?" ”

The old man surnamed Luo hurriedly got up, "Exactly, please ask the editor-in-chief for more advice." ”

"Brother Luo just talk to their juniors and sit!" Yuan Jiuli pulled the old man surnamed Luo and sat down, "This Mr. Luo is rich in learning and five cars, and he also has a lot of praise for the "Commentary on the Three Character Classic" compiled by the old man, and you have to review his manuscript carefully." ”

"Then ask Mr. Luo to show the manuscript to the juniors!" Xiao Cui thought in his heart that this gentleman actually praised Yuan Jiuli's book, it is estimated that there are not many dry goods, it should not have written a "Thousand Character Notes".

The old man surnamed Luo took out a one-foot-thick book from the back basket and handed it over, Xiao Cui took it with a smile, "Mr. is really talented, he has written so many books." ”

"The editor-in-chief misunderstood, in fact, this is only 30% of a book, and there is still it in the back basket." The old man surnamed Luo pointed to the back basket and saw that it was full of manuscripts.

This made Xiao Cui and Yuan Jiuli couldn't help but be surprised, in ancient times, a book might only have a thousand words, and a book of tens of thousands of words was considered long, wouldn't this box of manuscripts have to have hundreds of thousands of words.

"Dare to ask Mr. Luo, how many words do you have in this book?"

"The old man really hasn't counted it, it's about 700,000 words."

Yuan Jiuli praised: "I really underestimated that Brother Luo actually wrote a huge work of 700,000 words!" ”

"Mr. Yuan made fun of it, but the number of words is a little more, how dare you call it a masterpiece, but the "Commentary on the Three Character Classics" you wrote is concise and easy to understand before it can be called a classic."

The two praised each other, but Xiao Cui frowned, "Our bookstore has never published such a long book, this risk is too great, if you are not careful, I am afraid that you will lose all your money." ”

Yuan Jiuli said without concealment: "You haven't tried it, how do you know that you can't come out!" ”

"Okay, I'll take a look first!" Xiao Cui took the top volume, opened the page and looked at it, only to see that it was written, "Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be divided for a long time, and the disputes of the seven kingdoms will be merged into the Qin ...... on the weekend."

After reading the first paragraph, Xiao Cui raised his head and asked, "Sir, this is a vernacular history book?" ”

The old man surnamed Luo smiled, "It is indeed an old story written at the end of the Han Dynasty, but it is not a history book, just look down." ”

Xiao Cui took a sip of tea, and continued to read, who knew that there would be no movement in this reading, I saw him frequently turn the pages of the book, and he read two volumes in a row until Zhongtian still did not stop, and was about to take the third volume but was held down by Yuan Jiuli, "Xiao Cui, you have been reading it for so long, whether this book is printed or not is accurate." ”

Xiao Cui patted his head, "Hehe...... You see that I was so engrossed that I almost forgot that the two gentlemen were still here. He got up and bowed to the old man surnamed Luo and said, "Mr. Genius, this book is really fascinating, and you can't pull it out when you look at it." ”

The old man surnamed Luo let out a sigh of relief, "So your bookstore is planning to publish and print?" ”

"If it's so good, it's naturally going to be published.,It's just a matter of how much to publish.,After all, it's a lot of risk to have too many words.,Xiao Ke means to publish the last volume first.,See how the sales are.,If the sales are good, then publish the rest, what do you think?"

The old man surnamed Luo nodded and said, "The old man understands your difficulties, but the old man wants a wood carving." ”

Xiao Cui looked at the old man surnamed Luo, "If Mr. is a movable type version, he can get a remuneration of 500 words per thousand words, and if it is a wood carving version, it is only 50 words (the ugly word expresses envy), in fact, the movable type printing here is as clear, not much worse than the wood carving version, Mr. still thinks clearly." ”

"Don't think about it, the old man is sure that he wants a wood carving!"

Xiao Cui no longer persuaded him, he had seen a lot of this stinky problem of the reader, and immediately took out a contract to hand it to him to fill in, and the old man surnamed Luo took the brush and filled in the title of the book "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and then wrote the outline, hesitated a little when signing, and gritted his teeth and wrote "Luo Guanzhong".

Ma Du followed the Ming army to fight in the south and north, and he was also an old man in the army, but he had never seen the army calling for a battle in front of the army, let alone the generals of the two armies fighting each other.

But the academy doesn't know what's wrong, and on the playground, I often hear "so-and-so dare to go out and fight with grandpa", and the other party will also shout without showing weakness "watch grandpa cut off your dog's head" At first, Ma Du didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was a student joking.

Until this day, he saw Xiao Biao, Zhu Tan, and Sanbao riding on a stool and holding a wooden stick to besiege Zhang Zhongqiu, and was about to step forward to drink, but he heard Zhang Zhongqiu shouting, "Look at our heavenly halberd!" ”

Ma Du was stunned, the crooked poplar branch had such a high-end and high-grade name, and what made him even more shocked was that the other three people were also peerless divine weapons in their hands, the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, the Zhangba Snake Spear and the Mandarin Duck Sword.

Stopping the four of them, Ma Du flipped through his schoolbag one by one, and sure enough, he found the book he wanted, which was still published in his own bookstore, and the great god took the initiative to send it to the door, it really didn't take any effort to come!

"The four stupid Han Dynasty horse harnesses are not yet complete, if they fight like you, they will already fall off their horses!" He took the book and put it in the heads of the four people, "Hurry up and put the things away, if you poke your eyes blind, I can't save you, I can only be a one-eyed dragon." ”

After reprimanding Ma Du, he immediately asked people to go to the bookstore to find Luo Guanzhong's information, and before he could reply, Zhao Desheng had already come to the door and asked Ma Du to give him the following manuscript.

Ma Du laughed and said, "Lao Zhao, don't you think I wrote it, right?" ”

"Didn't you write it?" Zhao Desheng patted the book in his hand, "Yesterday, I saw a few students looking around, and I thought they were some kind of spring palace map, but who knew that they weren't." I'm very bored and addicted to it, and it's really fun to watch! If you don't see the end, you won't even have an appetite for eating, and you'll be absent-minded about doing things! ”

"I understand this feeling, so I hate eunuchs very much!"

"Nonsense, I see that your friendship with Yuansheng is quite good."

While the two were talking, Zhang Wuliu had already walked into the courtyard quickly, "Master Hou and I have come back from the city, and Lao Cui's grandson said that the one who wrote the book lives in Mr. Yuan's house!" ”

"Which Mr. Yuan?"

"Which other Mr. Yuan can it be, of course it's Mr. Yuan here!"

"It's really interesting, how did these two people get together, Lao Zhao, don't worry, we can't go empty-handed, five or six tell the account room to prepare a generous gift."

Stroking the new book in his hand, Yuan Jiuli slowly turned the page, buried his head in it, and sniffed deeply with his nose, the smell of ink was very strong, but he felt refreshed, and the resentment accumulated in his heart over the years was much less, which can be described as physically and mentally comfortable.

"I have finally achieved something, the old man has not lived in vain in his life, and he can be regarded as worthy of his identity." When he said this, Yuan Jiuli looked pleased.

"Huh...... Your achievements are not in this book. Luo Guanzhong, who was on the side, smiled and pointed to the huge academy in the distance through the glass window on the second floor, "Being able to teach in such a academy can be said to be all over the world, is there a greater honor than this?" ”

"Brother Luo, don't mention this, I'm stuffed when I talk about it!" Yuan Jiuli sighed sadly.

"Okay, I won't mention the sadness of the gentleman. Hey? There were a number of people over there, who seemed to have come to the house. ”

I saw a group of people enter Zhuangzi, and a servant had already walked quickly into the courtyard of the Yuan family, shouting, "Is Mr. Yuan at home?" Grandpa came to your house with a generous gift! ”

Yuan Jiuli snorted in his nose and said to Luo Guanzhong: "These nobles are the most snobbish, they must know that the old man's book has been published, and they have come to invite me back to the academy to teach." ”

Luo Guanzhong arched his hand and said: "Then I will congratulate you, you are a double happiness, hehe......"

"The old man can't go back to the academy with him for nothing, he has to take care of it, at least as it is written in Brother Luo's book, learn from Liu Bei Sangu thatched cottage. Let's go downstairs and meet him! ”

When the two arrived downstairs, they saw Ma Du and Zhao Desheng sitting next to the living room with a lot of gifts, and brought the hospital supervisor and Houli to invite them in person, and Yuan Jiuli nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Seeing Yuan Jiuli coming down from upstairs, Ma Du got up and arched his hand, "Mr. Yuan......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Yuan Jiuli stretched out his hand to interrupt and said with a cold face: "Grandpa, the old man will not return to the academy!" ”

"Oh, since Mr. Yuan likes to be the principal of a girls' school, Ben Hou is not reluctant."

Yuan Jiuli was dumbfounded, and immediately found a step with himself, "Since the grandfather sincerely came to invite ......"

But Ma Du had already turned around and talked to Luo Guanzhong, "Is Mr. surnamed Luo?" "Don't ask Ma Du how he recognized it, temperament can't deceive people.

Luo Guanzhong bowed politely, "Cao Min Luo Ben has seen Xu Guogong!" ”

Ma Du hurriedly helped, "My father has admired Mr. Da's name for a long time, and I was surprised to hear that Mr. Hakka has come here to pay a visit, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord!" ”

Lao Zhao couldn't sit still anymore, "Xuanzhong, you are sour or not, I see that Mr. Luo is a scholar, and he must also be a happy person, to get straight to the point, the two of us want to invite you to teach in the academy, do you think it?" ”

"This ......" Luo Guanzhong looked at Yuan Jiuli, who was even more embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Luo Guanzhong's hesitant face, he simply pounced, no different from the fanatical fans of later generations, he grabbed Luo Guanzhong's arm, "Sir, don't hesitate any longer, my old Zhao rarely admires readers, there are not many readers who can write about the war, the key is that I can understand this book." I am the east today, and I have already ordered people to set up a banquet in the restaurant before I came, you can't help but appreciate your face! ”

Lao Zhao said again and again while pulling Luo Guanzhong out, there was no chance for Luo Guanzhong to refuse, Luo Guanzhong turned around and asked for help, "Mr. Yuan!" ”

Zhao Desheng also looked back and smiled: "Mr. Yuan is also going, I want to thank you for taking care of Mr. Luo these days." ”

Seeing that Zhao Desheng had already dragged Luo Guanzhong out of the courtyard, Ma Du shook his head and smiled: "It's also good for rough people to do things, so I don't have to worry about it." Mr. Yuan, where is Mr. Luo's salute? ”

Yuan Jiuli pointed up, "Upstairs." ”

"You hurry up and pack Mr. Luo's luggage, and send it to the courtyard distributed to him with the gifts, and then instruct the account office to advance three months' salary according to the highest mark, and then find him a servant with quick hands and feet to serve him in food and daily life......"

Ma Du walked out as he commanded, and when he walked to the middle of the courtyard, he suddenly turned his head, "Mr. Yuan! ”

Yuan Jiuli walked over quickly and asked with an expectant face, "What else does Grandpa have to order?" ”

"My father wants to say, you must remember to go back to the banquet together!"

"Well, okay!" Yuan Jiuli watched Ma Du go out with a smile on his face, suddenly turned his head and ran back into the house, plunged into the quilt, and banged on the bed board with both hands.

"Sooner or later, I will have to leave this rotten place without fairness, right and wrong, and justice!"
