Janine was a little moved.

Hu Yanshu's affection is true, but there is still arrogance, just look at his attitude towards Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji's father is Baihu, and the son of Baihu is naturally more powerful than Xiaoqi. But at this moment, in order to seek peace in this Ma Lane, Hu Yanshu was chatting and laughing with Zhou Pan......

If publishing your own books is still a commercial act, then it is already a favor to find a house for yourself and turn around and make a promise.

At this moment, the neighbors were all present, and it was inconvenient for her to say anything grateful. After the banquet was opened, he said through the screen: "Thanks to Brother Yan's care, my little sister is grateful." Take this good day, drink a drink, wish my brother to sing and advance in the future, roll call in front of Donghua Gate, and then follow the prestige of Wen Gonggong (Hu Suzhen)! ”

The best wish for a scholar is the roll call of Donghuamen, there is nothing more glorious in this world than becoming a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

After Jian Ning sent her blessing, she raised her head and drank the wine.

Through the screen, the woman's slender figure flashed, although she didn't see the jade face, but the sincere tone came through the screen. Hu Yanshu is also a temperamental person, and when he heard these words, he felt joy in his heart, and drank wine again and again, saying: "I also wish my sister all the hardships and happiness to start a family as soon as possible." ”

When she said this, her face couldn't help but be hot, but thinking that Jane Niangzi was not an ordinary boudoir woman, she stabilized her mind and continued: "If you have any difficulties, just come to me." ”

This scene of talking across the screen made the people present curious, and Fang Zheng, who received the benefits, said with a smile: "Hu Gongzi is noble! Ordinary people, these distant cousins who have been separated by many generations generally avoid it, but Hu Gongzi is doing his best to arrange, and the old man also respects you for your benevolence and righteousness. ”

When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized, and they couldn't help but pick up nice words. And a group of mothers-in-law and aunts behind the screen squeezed their eyes at Jian Ning, and said very ambiguously: "Jane's lady, your cousin is a good one." ”

Jian Ning couldn't cry or laugh, it's been a long time, why haven't these aunts forgotten their matchmaker career?

The crowd dispersed, and after the banquet, Hu Yanshu was led to the flower hall next door. After serving the tea, Jian Ning said, "Thank you brother for taking the time to appreciate the light today." ”

"My sister will move to a new house, and I will definitely come."

As he spoke, he asked the little servant to take out two books, and said with a smile: "This is the real gift I want to give my sister today." ”

Jian Ning's eyes swept and couldn't help but be surprised, "Ying Ning has engraved it?" ”

"Exactly."

Hu Yanshu said with a smile: "Another 2,000 copies of the painting skin have been printed, and now it is hard to find a book, it was only printed yesterday, and 500 copies have been sold today." Tsk, sister, if you go down at this rate, you should be famous all over my Jiangnan. ”

He took a sip of tea, paused and said; "Strike while the iron is hot, I will print another 2,000 copies of Ying Ning, how about settling with you at the end of the month?"

"That's fine."

A bright smile appeared on Jian Ning's face, "My brother treats me like this, can I still trust my brother?" ”

The computer in her heart started quickly, and Miss Jane began to calculate her income.

"Ying Ning has two volumes, I printed two thousand sets, speaking of which is four thousand copies, I look at the posture of the painted skin, and it is by no means a problem for Ying Ning to sell well, and the price is still seven dollars of silver. When I accumulate some more fame, I think I can sell it for a tael of silver a book. ”

Jian Ning was speechless, it was indeed the name of the person, the shadow of the tree. If you have a name, you will be rich, and your worth will also increase, the ancients did not deceive me!

"It's ......"

Hu Yanshu frowned, "There are many manuscripts and other versions of the painting skin on the market!" Hum! I think eighty percent of this is the handwriting of Jiang Goutou, and it is not once or twice that he stole my Baiwenzhai books. ”

Really......

Jian Ning showed a look of understanding.

When a book becomes popular, the problem of piracy will follow. Especially in ancient times, people had no awareness of piracy at all, and even felt that it was your honor to steal your copy. Don't say it's a pirate, but those who are pirated also feel that it's an honor.

In ancient times, information was blocked, and it was not easy to expand one's reputation. Therefore, a group of literati held poetry meetings at every turn, the purpose of which was to expand their fame. Therefore, piracy is not established in Daming.

Thinking about the world she came from, she couldn't help but sigh.

Don't talk about the ancients, even piracy is rampant in later generations!

She thought for a while and said, "This is also a helpless thing, if we want to compete with others, we can only reduce costs." ”

"Wouldn't that be part of it? I never do this. If you want me to say, this thing is detrimental to others, and you are not the only one who writes a book there, and not everyone's books can sell as well as my sister. Although I have the heart to help them, but I cannot buy and sell at a loss, so what is the difference between a thief and a robber? ”

Sure enough, it's a bookseller, and it's still a bit of piracy.

The corners of Jian Ning's mouth curved slightly, and she said gently: "What else can my brother do?" It's better to print another edition, instead of any good paper, just use the worst ink and paper, find a few reliable guys, and sell them outside. These four books and five classics all have a high and low level, and we can do the same with our scripts! ”

Hu Yanshu's eyes lit up, he pondered for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Sister, you still say that you don't know how to do business, I think if you don't write a book or go into business, you will be able to succeed!" ”

"I'm a woman, where will I deal with people? Now that the script is selling well, it can be regarded as having a skill, and I don't want to do business. ”

"Hehe, that's true."

Hu Yanshu looked at the sky outside and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back." If anything happens to my sister, just send someone to find me. ”

"Hey, brother, let's go, I'll send you."

…………

…………

"Madame, ma'am!"

In Qingguo Lane, in a deep mansion, a little girl in a green shirt ran quickly with a book in her hand, "Madam, Bai Xiaosheng has a new book." ”

"Green Lotus, what are you yelling about? There are no rules at all! ”

The old lady reprimanded, "If the old lady sees it, you should reprimand the lady!" ”

"That's it......"

The noble lady on the seat waved her hand, "Her out-of-the-box temperament can't be changed." ”

After a pause, he said, "That Bai Xiaosheng has a new book again?" What is written this time? ”

The little maid gasped, wiped her sweat, and said, "Madam, I don't know how to read, so I heard Brother Hong Sheng in front of me say that it was written by Bai Xiaosheng, and the book just came out yesterday, and he squeezed it for a long time to buy it!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the book to your lady, squinted her eyes and said, "Madam, take a look, what is written in this book?" ”

"You Nizi!"

The old lady was very unhappy and scolded: "It's getting bigger and smaller!" Madame, you can't spoil her anymore! Look, it's going to heaven! ”

Mrs. Gui smiled and said: "Teenage children are all like this, she can be stable when there are outsiders, so my aunt should not talk about her." ”

As he spoke, he sighed lightly and said, "This house is too quiet, and having such a ghost can also sweep away some of the dullness." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the house all looked depressed. Watching the young lady become more and more depressed, I couldn't help but feel sad.

"Ying Ning?"

Mrs. looked at the beginning and said: "The painting is about Wang Sheng, and this is also Wang Sheng, but I don't know what is the difference between the two Wang Sheng?" I hope you don't have to be a negative man anymore. ”

"Humph!"

Green Lotus pouted, "If you want me to say that the last story was not well written!" That Wang Sheng is too bad, he brought the monster here, and when something happens, he will have to push his wife to go with a whisk, such a person Chen should not save him! ”

"Shut up!"

Madame's face turned cold, "Do you dare to say this?!" If people listen to it, they think that I am dissatisfied with the master! ”

"Yes, Madame!"

Green Lotus red-eyed, "Master High School, when Hanlin, this kind of scenery is to forget you, this will not take you to the capital, also, I married a shameless fox, a few days ago I also took the little young master away, I don't know the fox girl......"

Madame red-eyed, tilted her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "There are laws in the country, and officials are not allowed to bring their families when they take office. When he is alone, he must have someone who knows the warmth and cold......"

Having said that, I can't go on.

It is true that there is a law in the country, but after Taizu goes, this law is also like a fictitious one. The Son of Heaven also seems to have taken into account human ethics, so he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and after a long time, no one took this law seriously.

And if her husband had obeyed the law, how could he have left her at home and taken his own child with him?

"When the old man's family was poor, if he didn't have a wife, ......"

"Alright, don't say it!"

Madame gently wiped away her tears, "Don't complain like this anymore, the old lady will be able to afford to be a moth when she hears it." ”

Seeing that Lu Lotus was still going to speak, she glared at her and said, "Don't say insinuations!" I saw that you were bored at home, so I told you the story of the painted skin, if you talk nonsense again, and it reaches the ears of the old lady, I am afraid that I will not be allowed to read it again in the future! ”

The green lotus turned white, and after a long time, he said unwillingly: "Yes, madam." ”

Looking at the maidservant's resentful expression, the lady sighed softly.

How could she be willing? But what can you do? Her husband is also the same as Wang Sheng in the painting, he was blinded by beauty all his life, where can he still think of his wife who is a chaff?

He is ugly, he can't compare to those charming people, a sentence of "the law of the country" is enough to shut his mouth, if he doesn't obey, I'm afraid that the family will have no foothold at all.

Gently stroking and touching the newly bought book, I suppressed all kinds of sorrows, and began to savor the new books of Bai Xiaosheng.

At this time, when it was time to hold the lamp, after putting down the book, he asked, "Can you ask someone?" When will the next volume be released? ”

"I asked, and I said that I would be out in a few days."

"Go talk to Hong Sheng, and buy the next volume as soon as it comes out."

"Yes, ma'am."

The green lotus responded, and there was curiosity in his eyes, "Madam, what is this book about?" ”

Madam was stunned for a while, and then said slowly: "I look like a thing of a man and a demon, but this demon seems to be a good demon." ”

After being silent for a while, he said, "Green Lotus, go and get a piece of paper, I want to write a few words and give it to the author." ”

"Huh?!"
