Chapter 95: Different Opinions
The group returning from Fuyang separated in Shangyang, and Yu Yongyi continued to return to Beijing with the others, while Li Jiangwei, Lu Jiangfeng, and Situ Ran stayed in Shangyang. Thanks to the blessing of Yu Yongyi, the three girls lived in the backyard of the Wenjin bookstore in Shangyang, and were served by Yingzi.
After Lu Jiangfeng said something, the person suddenly disappeared. Li Jiangwei probably understood that her sister should have gone from the spirit world to another place before she disappeared so suddenly.
Situ Ran was bored reading the books in the guest room of the bookstore, and when he saw Li Jiangwei sitting on the couch in a daze, he leaned over.
"I didn't expect you to hide a maid here?" Situ Ran sighed: Whispered in Li Jiangwei's ear: "You and King Qin...... Isn't the relationship too good? ”
"Can you say such things casually?" Li Jiangwei was annoyed and angry, and she didn't dare to say it out loud: "If this is known by others......
Situ Ran smiled and waved his hand, "No one will know, I won't even tell Shi Lu when I return to Beijing." You whispered to me, King Qin, what is his situation? If he pesters you, I'll find a way to block it for you in the future! ”
"Him?" Li Jiangwei burst out laughing, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her sleeve, "I'm afraid you know, don't say it's blocking him, I'm afraid you'll block me with him." ”
"How is that possible!" Situ Ran was surprised: "What kind of person am I? ”
"Then I don't know. But the heron must be. ”
Li Jiangwei got up and skillfully took out two books on the bookshelf in the guest room. The two books that she casually threw on the low table were four "The Legend of Bai Wat" and "Overseas Lost Traces", Situ Ran didn't understand Li Jiangwei's intentions, so he picked up the book and flipped through it at will.
"Why did you bring Chengwei's book?"
"Who made me Chengwei?"
Situ Ran's movement to turn the book froze, his eyes glanced at Li Jiangwei, and his eyes moved down to look at the book.
"You're kidding......"
"Recently I have been working on a new book. King Qin, he didn't treat me well, it was a manuscript that greedy for me. Li Jiangwei smiled lightly and sat down beside Situ Ran, "I'm going to go shopping in the bookstore in a while, do you want to go with me?" ”
"No, no, no." As soon as she finished saying this, Situ Ran's white cat rushed into her arms, "I haven't read the new "Bai Wat" yet. ”
As soon as he turned two pages, Situ Ran suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "No! What about the follow-up to "Overseas Lost"? ”
Li Jiangwei, who bought the threshold with one foot, was startled and replied perfunctorily: "I'm writing, I'm writing." ”
"But you didn't mean you're writing a new book?"
"Write together! Write together! ”
After saying that, he seemed to run away. It wasn't until she got out of the courtyard that Li Jiangwei breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved. The land price in Shangyang is lower than that in Beijing, the newly opened bookstores are larger than in Beijing, and the types of books bought are much more than in Beijing. Among them, the best-selling is "Xidan Swordsman" written by a person named Nian Yi in Chizhou. The guests who came and went also had a copy of "Xidan Swordsman".
The "Overseas Lost" and "The Legend of Bai Wat" written by myself are much less on the shelves, and this less is more like being printed less.
On this trip to the bookstore, Li Jiangwei originally wanted to find some books as reference materials for the new book, but she didn't expect to hear more other news.
News related to Chengwei's first two books.
During the period when she left the capital, "Overseas Lost" and "The Story of Bai Wat" received many "bad reviews", most of which were criticized from the choice of words and sentences, and the idea of the article. "Overseas Lost" received the most similar reviews, which is also related to the hard power of the book. After all, my first book is very immature, and there are better ways to express it in many places. Due to experience, many plot designs are also unsatisfactory, which is one of the reasons why the follow-up of "Overseas Lost" has not been released for a long time.
content, also received a certain amount of criticism.
The book "The Legend of Bai Wat" was evaluated by the author of "Xidan Swordsman" as "a flattering book written to cater to the imperial concubine".
"It's actually characterized as a book of flattery......"
When Li Jiangwei heard this comment, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. In this era, there is no book circle, so you can't write that you don't mean that in a newly released book......
Forget about the response or something, Li Jiangwei thought. I still have a new book to finish, so I don't have time to debate with them.
"The Legend of Bai Wat" did hug the thigh of the imperial concubine, and it was said to be flattering...... Flattery, Li Jiangwei plans to admit it. This kind of thing is not good to say, and it is not easy to say. After all, at the moment of creation, after the character appeared, everyone had a different understanding of the character in their hearts.
The three of them stayed in Shangyang, mainly to avoid Yu Yongyi, not to enter Beijing with Zhen Yongyi, and to reduce the attention of others. After it was determined that Yu Yongyi returned to the Qin Palace, Li Jiangwei and the others were not prepared to stay for a long time and were ready to return to Beijing. Before leaving, Li Jiangwei asked for the sachet stored in Yingzi, and asked Yingzi what she meant.
Yingzi was originally a bookstore person, and lived in Xiangqu for a while. Seeing that the bookstore is growing day by day, the mind that originally wanted to follow Li Jiangwei has also quietly changed, and I hope to stay in the bookstore to see the growth of the bookstore. Li Jiangwei did not force it, leaving Yingzi in Shangyang, and returning to Beijing with Situ Ran.
The return to Beijing was not informed in advance, and the carriage stopped in front of An Yuanbo's Mansion, and everyone in An Yuanbo's Mansion knew that the fourth lady had returned. After coming back, Li Jiangwei now went to Rongyue House to meet her parents. After saying goodbye, he hurried to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
Before arriving at Rongyue Residence, Li Jiangwei heard the news of Li Jiangyun's return.
"Sister!"
As soon as she entered Xiaoxiang Courtyard, Li Jiangwei shouted: "I heard that you are back!" ”
Hearing this, Li Jiangyun put down the book in her hand, trotted out of the door with her skirt, and rushed towards Li Jiangwei.
"My sister is finally back!"
Li Jiangyun opened her hands and hugged Li Jiangwei, "I miss you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a low "quack" sound was heard. Immediately after, a big white goose rushed towards Li Jiangwei!
"Kenzo! Don't move! Get back! This my sister! ”
The goose named Kenzo, with its big wings, turned around and went back.
"This is Kenzo?"
"yes."
"I remember that this name came from the Oriental Sword Treasure in "Xidan Swordsman"?"
"yes."
"I passed by Shangyang two days ago and went to the bookstore, and I heard other people say that the author of "Xidan Swordsman" read and scolded my book for being a flattering work of the emperor."
"Huh?" Li Jiangyun was a little surprised, "He doesn't write his own book well and scolds his sister's book?" ”
Li Jiangwei spread her hands and glanced at the white goose.
"Oh well. It's not called Kenzo! It's better to change the name to Chop Moon. ”
Without waiting for Li Jiangwei to ask, Qiyue, who got a new name, quacked and screamed.
"Where did you get that name?"
"Blind!"
"Gah!"
