Chapter IX. Hundreds of people scramble to read (medium).

Just when Xiao Xiucai began to look through the stories written by Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo and Wang Jirui were walking on their way home. (Read the full text of the novel, as far as you can.1.) (1 text. Learn Net) [Bubble! Book!! Surpass! Speed! Head! ]

Looking at Xiao Mo who was thinking about something next to him, Wang Jirui hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Young Master, can that book really sell for thirty times?" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Not necessarily, it takes chance to cooperate, I will price it for thirty times, in the final analysis, it is just a means to attract people's attention, just to attract the attention of some people." However, in this era, there is no way to entertain, and the story form of the novel has not yet taken shape, and the impact of this book on the reader is still there, and maybe it can really be sold. ”

Listening to Xiao Mo's words, Wang Jirui seemed to understand, but nodded silently.

After the two returned home, Xiao Shenyan had already returned, looking a little anxious, and he was obviously relieved after seeing Xiao Mo, obviously worried about Xiao Mo.

Noticing Xiao Shenyan's expression, Xiao Mo hurriedly said apologetically: "Fourth grandfather, I'm worried about you." ”

Xiao Shenyan shook his head and asked, "Mo'er, where did you go just now?" ”

Xiao Mo explained: "I've been in the house for a long time, let Ji Rui take me outside to relax." ”

Xiao Shenyan nodded, but he didn't reprimand, but said: "It's really hard for you to study and practice calligraphy during this time, and you should go out for a walk, but next time you go out, remember to leave me a note." ”

After the catastrophe of the Xiao family, Xiao Shenyan rarely controlled Xiao Mo in this regard, and in daily life, Xiao Mo had enough freedom.

Thinking of the worry in Xiao Shenyan's expression before, Xiao Mo felt sorry in his heart, nodded seriously, and said, "I will definitely remember it in the future." ”

Xiao Mo did not tell Xiao Shenyan about his book sale, firstly, the matter was still undecided, and secondly, he did not want to arouse Xiao Shenyan's worries.

In the next three days, the lives of Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenyan, and Wang Jirui were as smooth and busy as ever.

At the same time, the "Chongwen Bookstore" is very lively.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But he said that on that day, after Xiao Xiucai returned home, he felt a little like he didn't want to eat, and he kept thinking about the story he read in the evening, constantly guessing the follow-up plot, and after the lights went out, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

Waiting until the next morning, Xiao Xiucai only felt that his heart was itching, and finally decided to read the story again, so he got up early, washed up in a hurry, and walked towards the "Chongwen Bookstore".

However, after entering the "Chongwen Bookstore", Xiao Xiucai was surprised to see that in the place where he was reading yesterday, there were two readers gathered together at this moment, one of them was holding the book "Immortal Road Quest" that he read yesterday, and he was looking at it with relish, and his expression was like Xiao Xiucai yesterday, either sad or happy, sometimes frowning and sometimes comfortable.

And next to the two scholars, as yesterday, the guys in the bookstore were looking at them worriedly.

Obviously, the two scholars were also curious that this poorly bound book would cost thirty yuan, and they couldn't help but indulge in it after watching it.

Seeing that the book had been snatched up, Xiao Xiucai was annoyed, thinking that he should have come earlier, and wanted to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, squeezed next to the two scholars, and read it together.

It is extremely rare for three scholars to gather together and read a poorly bound book with relish.

Therefore, several scholars who entered the "Chongwen Bookstore" one after another were attracted to the past, and wanted to see which of everyone's works was so attractive, but they did not expect that what the three of them read had nothing to do with the Four Books and Five Classics, and with the idea of "finding the crudeness of this book and laughing at the three of them", they also came to the side to read it, although they couldn't see the beginning, but in the end they were as addicted to it as the three of them.

In this way, around this "Immortal Road Quest", there are more and more scholars gathered around, and this scene has attracted more curious people, although they can't squeeze into it, and they don't know what happened, but they still surround themselves and refuse to leave.

After three moments, the five talents who watched "Immortal Quest" for the first time finally finished reading it, and after they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if yesterday's scene was replayed, everyone asked the guy next to them for the second volume, and they were full of regret after learning that there was none, and then wanted to buy this book, but in the end they were frightened away by the price of as high as thirty yuan.

"Hey, why didn't I finish this story?"

A scholar sighed.

"yes, I don't know what happened to that person......

Xiao Xiucai said.

Suddenly, one of the youngest-looking scholars smiled and said, "Everyone, we are also destined to read books here, how about I invite a guest to have a drink or two?" By the way, we can also discuss the follow-up of this story together. ”

Xiao Xiucai and the others were already regretting that there was no ending to this story, and their hearts were like cats scratching, and their eyes lit up after hearing this person's construction, and they nodded their heads one after another.

So the three of them reluctantly put down the scroll in their hands, squeezed through the crowd, and walked out.

And at the moment when the three of them left, a few quick-eyed scholars immediately stepped forward, snatched the scroll that had just been put back on the shelf, and gathered together to read it like a few people before.

Accompanied by the shouts of the guys: "A few talents!!" Don't rob, don't grab!! You can't afford to pay for it if it's torn, but it will sell for thirty pieces. ”

Besides, Xiao Xiucai and the other five scholars, because of the story of "Quest for Immortals", they had a common language, exchanged their conjectures with each other, and walked towards a tavern not far away.

Among them, Xiao Xiucai has been guessing the follow-up to this story all night yesterday, and he has the most topics, and he has faintly become the central figure in the five-person room.

However, just as the five of them were discussing the follow-up of the story in a hurry, a passing scholar next to them was attracted by their topic and couldn't help but interject and ask, "I wonder if what you brothers are talking about is true?" Is there really a way to cultivate immortals and live forever in this world? ”

Xiao Xiucai turned his head to look at the scholar, and with a hint of prescient pride in his words, he explained: "This brother still doesn't know? The Chongwen Bookstore over there is currently consigning a strange manuscript worth thirty yuan, but this manuscript is not a book of the ancients, and it is not a handout of various families, but a story about cultivating immortals......"

However, the scholar showed disdain in his eyes, and said with a straight face: "The three seem to be people with meritorious reputations, the imperial examination is approaching, and studying the Four Books and Five Classics hard is the right way. ”

Hearing the words of this scholar, Xiao Xiucai and the others were all angry, when they read the book, they always couldn't help but regard themselves as the protagonist of the story, they had long loved this book, and when they heard this person say this, how could they not be angry?

In fact, this is also one of the biggest differences between later novels and ancient novels, ancient novels often tell a set of stories, there are many characters in the story, few primary and secondary, although the literary value is high, but it always gives people a sense of substitution, and the stories written by Xiao Mo in the penmanship of later novels are based on a person's perspective, with clear priorities, and the sense of identity and substitution are greatly increased.

However, although the scholar's words made them angry, they were right, and they could not refute it.

In desperation, Xiao Xiu could only say: "People are not the same as cows, you haven't read that book, that's why you said it so easily, if you read it, I'm afraid it's not as good as us." ”

The scholar smiled, did not refute, obviously wanted to speak with facts, and said to a few people: "Since this is the case, I will go to read it next and say goodbye." ”

As he spoke, the scholar turned around and walked towards the "Chongwen Bookstore".

The same thing happens all the time on this day.

At the same time, more and more people gathered in the "Chongwen Bookstore".
