CHAPTER XXIX

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )

Although the status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was very low, they could be exchanged for considerable income after all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Moreover, writing a book is not considered a business, at most it can only be said to deal with businessmen.

What's more, Xie Shen didn't use his real name and surname, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

Xie Shen entrusted Wang Shouwen to do all this matter, after all, he was much more familiar with the bookstore in Yuyao City than himself.

Saying goodbye to his two friends, Xie Shen returned to the bamboo building alone.

At this time, it was still early, and Xie Shen saw his sister-in-law Xie Chen and Shui Yun choosing vegetables in the house, so he walked over with a smile and put the rouge and Zhehua wrapped in his hand on the table.

"I bought it to honor my sister-in-law."

Xie Chen was very distressed and twisted the red rope that bound the package, and sighed: "Xiaolang bought these things, the slave family is not a lady from a rich family, and he can't wear it." ”

Xie Shen knew that his sister-in-law was distressed about the money, so he said aloud: "What is rich or not, although our family is a little poor now, it will always get better." The money spent on buying these is all saved by the support of friends, and my sister-in-law does not need to worry. ”

"That's fine, that's fine."

Hearing that Xie Shen didn't spend money indiscriminately, Xie Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Shen turned to Shui Yun again and said softly, "Naturally, there are yours too." ”

"Thank you Childe, the slave family has clothes, and Childe doesn't have to break the bank......"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xie Shen.

"You can't say that, you are suffering and tired with me, so I naturally have to think about it for you."

"Sister-in-law, then Shui Yun and I will go upstairs first."

"Go ahead."

Xie Chen smiled with relief and said lightly: "When the rice is cooked, the slave family will call you again." ”

Xie Shen saluted Xie Chen, took Shui Yun's hand and climbed up to the attic in a few steps.

"Why does Childe bother to spend so much money for the slave family."

After the two came to the attic, Shui Yun made a cup of tea for Xie Shen, and said softly at least the youngest.

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "Since you have followed me, you are a family." How can a family be called a broken fee? ”

"Childe is so good to me, and it is a blessing for a slave family to follow Childe."

Xie Shen took Shui Yun into his arms and said loudly: "The days will get better and better in the future." You take this and put it away, don't show it easily. ”

After speaking, Xie Shen took out the manuscript of "Stone Records" that he had memorized in the academy from his cloth bag and handed it to Shui Yun.

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was very inconvenient to carry this kind of thing with him. If Confucius found out that he was still writing these novels while studying the books of the sages, he would have thought that he was losing his mind. Xie Shen finally left a perfect image in the heart of Confucius, and naturally he didn't want this image to be flawed.

But these manuscripts cannot be given to the cooperative bookstore at one time. After preliminary calculations, Xie Shen felt that it would be more appropriate to give the bookstore a manuscript once in ten days. This time was also the time when Xie Shen studied in the academy once. At that time, Xie Shen can return home and take the manuscript from Shui Yun to the bookstore.

"Childe, what is this?"

Shui Yun looked at the thick stack of manuscripts in confusion and asked softly.

"This is 'The Stone'." Xie Shen let out a breath and continued, "It's the first novel I wrote. ”

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is a golden mountain, whether our Xie family's situation can change greatly in the future depends on it." ”

Hearing what Xie Shen said was so magical, Shui Yun was also interested.

"Can the slave take a look first?"

"Of course, as long as it doesn't spread the word."

There must be more female readers of Dream of Red Mansions than men, and I am afraid that I will love Dream of Red Mansions at an age like Shui Yun, who is just beginning to fall in love.

......

......

Three days went by in a flash.

There was suddenly an extra novel called "The Story of the Stone" in the Feng Family Bookstore in Yuyao City.

The author of this novel is named Langya Zhenren, I don't know if his name is stained with the word real person, and the "Stone Record" written by him is extremely attractive, as if with a fairy spirit.

At first, the Feng Family Bookstore only tentatively copied 100 copies, but they were sold out in less than three days. The shopkeeper Feng Changfeng was naturally overjoyed, and immediately decided to hire someone to copy another 500 copies.

These viewers read it ten times, but they were full of interest but found that it was gone, and when they stomped their feet and scolded their mothers, they were looking forward to the follow-up story.

They rushed to Feng's bookstore together, hoping to buy follow-up books immediately, but found that Feng Changfeng had no follow-up manuscripts here, so they were naturally disappointed.

However, Feng Changfeng told them that because "The Story of Stones" was written now, Langya Zhenren did not have any more manuscripts, but Langya Zhenren would drive out the follow-up manuscripts and hand them over to the bookstore in a few days.

Hope is better than nothing. Although they were still unwilling in their hearts, they still left the bookstore.

In a restaurant not far from Feng's bookstore, Xie Shenzheng was having a celebration banquet with his friends Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi.

The book manuscript sold well naturally in Xie Shen's expectations, but it was a bit unexpected for him to be out of stock in a short period of time.

As for Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, they even threw themselves into the ground for Xie Shen's admiration.

You must know that in this era, people who read books are absolutely biased. It's too late to read the Four Books and the Five Classics all day, so how can I have time to write some novels.

But Xie Shen not only received special training from Confucius, but also wrote such an amazing "Stone Record", which is simply a prodigy.

Xie Shen was drinking, but he could hear the people at the table talking happily, and the conversation seemed to be "The Story of Stones".

"Have you heard, this "Stone Record" sold more than 600 copies in just three days. Although there are only ten times, it is addictive. I also got a copy from Feng Changfeng because of a relationship. ”

"Yes, I heard that the author of "The Story of Stones", Langya Zhenren, is an old man who is over half a hundred years old. No wonder the pen is so deep. ”

"This Langya real person seems to be on fire, do you think the price of the books sold in the Feng Family Bookstore will rise......

"It's hard to say, now they can sell books even if the price increases, it depends on whether Feng Changfeng has a conscience."

"If you want me to say that this Langya real person wrote such a good "Stone Story", he should be paid more......"

If it weren't for his extreme restraint, Xie Shen almost burst out laughing.

I don't know who was the first to spread the rumor that Langya Zhenren is an old man, and it turned out to be the same as the truth.

However, from the conversation between the sons just now, Xie Shen can already be sure that "The Story of Stones" is completely popular.

The next thing Xie Shen has to do is to release "The Story of the Stone" slowly, and this rhythm must be mastered.

As for the profit of "The Stone", because it is fifty-fifty shares, Xie Shen's first manuscript fee should be sixty taels. After that, the sales of "The Story of Stones" will definitely get higher and higher, and Xie Shen's manuscript fee will naturally rise.
