Since Xia Li and Lin Gengxinweng's son-in-law reconciled, Xia Yusi has urged Cheng Qi much less frequently - maybe it is because she really listened to her father's words and was busy making great things with her husband every day.

The words are divided into two ends, although there is a lack of the cute cousin, who is urging more maniacs, but Huang Yang has attracted a new master of complaining to him - that is, the "happy life of the rivers and lakes" predecessor who is not the head and tail of the dragon, he seems to be eyeing Cheng Qi's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", almost every chapter has to comment on one or two, and sometimes predict the future development - of course, Cheng Qi will not let him be so wishy-washy, and it is not difficult to tear up the manuscript. And "Qiantang Wenhai" is also interesting, they also sent a letter to Cheng Qi, wanting to publish a single copy of his book - with a comment from a complaining maniac. This suddenly reminded Cheng Qi of the famous old Mr. Jin Shengsi, who was famous in later generations, and the mysterious owner of Fat Yan Zhai.

The time of Fat Yan Zhai is still a little early, but Cheng Qi found a calendar book by himself and calculated, this year is the year 2195 of the Confucian calendar, that is, the year 1644 of the Western Yeli era - in the time and space when Cheng Qi came, the year when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the old crooked neck tree in the coal mountain.

Thinking of that time and space, when China fell, the lives were devastated, and thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains became a colony of barbarians, and in this time and space, the Great Liao Empire in the north ruthlessly crushed one barbarian tribe after another, firmly ruled the land of ice and snow, and became the barrier of Huaxia to colonize northern Thailand, Cheng Qi felt a sigh.

"According to this time, maybe it is possible that I met Jin Shengsi."

What Cheng Qi is holding in his hand is the latest long-form book review of this suspected boss Jin's "happy life in the rivers and lakes": in the book market of the Great Song Dynasty, short stories are the most popular, and in the book market in Jiangnan, the most popular "Three Words and Two Beats" is a collection of short and medium stories. Novels have also taken shape, and are subdivided into historical romances, ghosts, and boudoir idleness. Among them, the boudoir leisure is generally similar to the so-called romance novels, among which there are a few fine works, but the vast majority of them are made up and corrupted - the life in the Jiangnan market is developed, and the prevention of men and women is not very important, and the Song people use the folk customs of "Spring Palace Map" and "Spring Style Novel" to dispel fire, and many romance novels with vivid color pictures are also quite popular on the pillow of married women.

It would be a big mistake to think of novelists as multi-religious elements. Since the end of the First Empire, the use of fiction has become a social fashion. At that time, the advanced elements created a large number of novels that satirized the arrogance and indulgence of the feudal aristocracy and their playthings, which played a very good propaganda role among the readers. During the period of the republican revolution, faced with the joint strangulation of the monarchical coalition armies in several directions, in order to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people, a large number of novels that used novels and stories to promote patriotic enthusiasm and progressive ideas were widely circulated.

By the time of the Second Empire, the meaning of the novel itself had gone beyond literature and had a deeper impact on society and politics. In the north, the "Criticism of the World" developed centered on the Wutai literature in Shanxi and the Baoding literature in Hebei Road radically criticized all kinds of social ugly phenomena and exposed the ugly, false and evil aspects of human nature; The "Dream Decay School" in the Jinjiang region of southern Fujian Province used exaggerated brushwork to depict the impact of money on interpersonal relationships in a materialistic commodity society, and poignantly pointed out that everything can be exchanged: status, reputation, and morality...... With money, you are the happiest person in the world, and if you lose money, you are the ugliest person in the world! In the past, the first seven sons held high the banner of "natural life" and depicted all things in the world with naturalistic brushstrokes, and many disciples of Jiangyou Wangmen took the banner of "natural revolution" as the banner to fiercely criticize all social systems and advocate anarchy, no monarchy, and no restraint nihilism.

But despite the fact that the authoritative statistical journal of the Great Song Dynasty, the Oriental Publishing House in Shanghai County, the Great Song Book Yearbook, pointed out that thousands of new novels were published each year, and that it was impossible to count the number of novels serialized in various newspapers. However, before "Smiling Proud Jianghu", there has never been a chivalrous novel that can completely jump out of the trap of official cases and martial arts vendettas, and use the glass of martial arts to describe the sinister nature of the human heart to a level comparable to the aforementioned Yu Guo, Toth Yeruer and Ni Cai.

Jianghu Kuaisheng believes that although "Smiling Proud Jianghu" tells the story of intrigue between people in the rivers and lakes for a secret book of the previous dynasty and the supremacy of martial arts, but a discerning person should be able to see at a glance that this is actually an allusion to the struggle within the board of directors of a certain company a few days ago......

When reading this, Cheng Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had never heard of this company, and the imagination of the happy people in the rivers and lakes was really too rich.

However, although Jianghu Kuaisheng clicked on the name of a certain company, he did not delve into it, but pointed out that this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not the first case since the beginning of the world. The success of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" as a novel lies in the fact that it depicts the common ugliness of the world from a special perspective, and pulls the grade of martial arts novels from market literature to the level of serious literature.

In the end, after experiencing several failed predictions, Jianghu Kuaisheng finally learned to be smart: "I don't dare to bet on how the plot will go next, but I look forward to it like ordinary readers, how a child like Ling Hu Chong should survive in the rivers and lakes like a big dye vat - after all, each of us has been taught to be a gentleman, not a prodigal son; And when the vast majority of us encounter such an "opportunity" as the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, how many of us can resist being unmoved? Don't laugh at the absurdity of the palace, don't forget how many eunuchs have been there throughout the ages! And even today, how many people have already given themselves to their own palace in their minds! ”

Cheng Qi read this long comment with thousands of words, and after being silent for a while, he wrote a reply to the editorial department of "Qiantang Wenhai" on a piece of letterhead: "Ding Youri's letter has been read, and the seniors of Happy Yisheng have spoken very thoroughly, and they are fortunate to have a big hand to comment, and they are willing to be a precursor, driven by the king." ”

He said it very politely: "My novel is not a tool at all, but a plaything to pass the time." The comments written by the seniors of the happy life are the wise sayings of a thousand words. Now that there's an opportunity to be able to gather and publish his high ideas, I'd be happy to give a ride.

In fact, this practice is not unusual at all in the time and space where he came, you don't see, many famous authors' new books have several celebrities on the waist cover, and in this time and space, the popular thing is to find a few celebrities to comment between the lines. Jianghu Kuaiyisheng is a very famous literary critic in Jiangnan, and his comments are naturally not worrying about the sale of new books. What's more, as far as the current status quo is concerned, the comment text of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is almost as long as the text, and for readers, it is simply a buy one get one free, the same as picking it up for nothing!
