Wang Defu quickly bought the oranges back, and they were regarded as after-dinner fruits.

He saw Zhu Moche eating oranges with a satisfied face, and couldn't help but say how much he loved eating oranges while eating, which made Wang Defu feel very interesting, and he only felt that this essayist who loves oranges was very cute.

"Mocun, you can eat it too, this orange is really good!" Zhu Moche said so, and personally peeled one for Wang Defu.

Wang Defu was also polite, took the oranges, and replied: "Since Brother Qiushi loves oranges so much, I won't snatch love from the sword, I'll eat two, and the rest will be given to you." ”

Zhu Moche agreed with a smile, and asked casually: "Mo Cun, do you have any new prose works recently, don't be stingy, if you think the level of "Xuehuan" is too low, I can recommend your works to more influential literary journals such as "Meiwen" and "Huaxia Prose", although the remuneration is not high, but it is okay." ”

Wang Defu actually knows very well that the manuscript fees of prose magazines in these years are not high, and the reason is, of course, that their sales are relatively average.

However, whether it is "Meiwen" or "Chinese Prose", as well as the most compelling "Essayist", they are very famous, and many schools organize subscriptions, if their prose works can often appear in these top prose magazines, it will indeed be very helpful to expand their fame in the literary world.

In fact, these prose magazines also rely on official subscriptions, otherwise they rely exclusively on ordinary literature lovers, who are afraid that they will not be able to pay the author's manuscript fee.

Many well-known writers have kept in touch with these three prose magazines, and it is of course a good thing to have a platform to publish their essays and essays, and then they can also collect and publish these published essays.

Of course, the magazine also welcomes well-known writers, because the prose they write will naturally attract die-hard readers and increase the magazine's sales.

As soon as Zhu Moche opened his mouth, he said that he could recommend Wang Defu's prose works to "Meiwen" and "Huaxia Prose", which shows that he is indeed quite influential in the field of prose now.

"There are no new prose works for the time being, if there is, I will definitely ask Brother Qiu Shi for advice first." Wang Defu said.

"I don't dare to give advice, it is to discuss with each other and make progress with each other." Zhu Moche is still very modest.

After just one meal, Wang Defu felt that Zhu Moche was really a very simple and lovely literati, who could be described as "polite and polite, and then a gentleman".

And Zhu Moche feels that Wang Defu is not as "nerd" as rumored, his social skills are not bad at all, and he feels very comfortable and comfortable intersecting with him, plus the two have a common topic in writing, so he can't wait to talk to Wang Defu for a few days and nights.

Zhu Moche even rushed to settle the account first, using a reason that Wang Defu couldn't argue, he said that Wang Defu was so polite to buy oranges for him, and only ate two, and gave him the rest, of course he would invite this meal, otherwise he would be very embarrassed.

Wang Defu didn't insist much, since he felt that this senior Zhu Moche was worth befriending, he would naturally ask him to have dinner in the future, just invite him back when the time comes, he would never be stingy in these things.

The two said goodbye, Wang Defu was deeply impressed by the back of Zhu Moche, a gentleman senior carrying a bag of oranges, when he left, and almost wanted to write an essay with the title of "background".

However, Wang Defu felt that he didn't know enough about Zhu Moche, so he scribbled at will, which was really not rigorous, and he would definitely make more literati in the future.

And now Wang Defu can't be distracted to write prose for the time being, he is not a particularly prolific writer, no matter what he writes, he seems to be striving for excellence and perfection, unless one day the financial pressure falls again, so he has to write works that cater to the masses.

His current energy is focused on "Love and Sex" and "The Subservient Status of Women", the former has been serialized in the second issue of "Red Rose", this time there are more than 30,000 words, which brought him more than 90 silver dollars in manuscript fee income, so that his hands are suddenly rich, so inviting Zhu Moche to dinner, they all seem to be full of confidence, and the two of them have eaten less than 2 silver dollars at this meal.

Wang Defu plans to serialize five more issues, each issue of more than 30,000 words, a total of more than 200,000 words to finish this work decisively, this will take about two and a half months, when the Spring Festival is coming, it is reasonable, he has to go home, if he doesn't go home for the New Year, it is really unreasonable.

At that time, Wang Defu will not go home in disgrace, but use his actions to prove to his family that even if his family loses his financial resources, he can still live a nourishing life, and he can also buy gifts for relatives and elders at home.

At the same time, he will also talk openly and honestly with his family, that is, he will never accept an arranged marriage......

Wang Defu still sorts out his memories of the past every day these days, and finds that the old-fashioned big family he came from is certainly very backward, but if he was not a child of the family, he would not be where he is today.

The stubborn and rigid, short-tempered old lady Wang looked at him unpleasantly, but it did not restrict his development, of course, if he was a woman, born in this Wang family, it would be miserable, just because the old lady Wang's patriarchal thinking has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Wang Defu still doesn't want to get too stiff with his family after all, anyway, he is still young, and the future will definitely belong to him.

The content of the second issue of "Love and Sex" serialized on "Red Rose" did not have an explosive reaction like the first issue, just because the style of the work has quietly changed, and the H description that ordinary readers like to see is always brushed aside, fortunately, the process of getting acquainted between the male protagonist Xu Shizhe and the female advocate Wanyi is also quite good-looking, and Zhang Wanyi's character design is also very suitable for the appetite of ordinary readers.

Some readers who have read a lot of the works of the "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School" are not opposed to the change in the style of the works, isn't this the style of the "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School"?

It can be said that although the second issue of "Love and Sex" did not have a breaking point, it maintained a considerable level and can be regarded as a romance novel with considerable depth, while "Red Rose" continued to maintain sales growth with the change of magazine style and the emergence of more excellent works.

However, it is inevitable that when there are more popular works, their literary quality also tends to decline.

When Wang Defu gave Ling Jingsu "advice", he had already confirmed the other party's goal - no matter what literary things first, pay more attention to commerciality, she felt that for the magazine, as long as the sales went up, it would be easy to say anything.
