Du Jinning shook his head: "No need to persuade me." She raised the script in her hand, "I read the script he wrote, although the writing is sophisticated, the character portrayal is good, the structure and plot are okay, but it is estimated that he writes and writes like this, because he doesn't have anything of his own in this book, it all depends on Jian." ”

Her evaluation is quite polite.

This "Legend of the Seven Swords Heroes" draws on a large part of the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan" in terms of setting, but the characters and characteristics are changed, and then they are put into the martial arts world set by Jin Yong, and some stalks from the other two books are borrowed, such as getting martial arts secrets after falling off a cliff, and a female character lives in an ancient tomb...... It is equivalent to saying that she got the three ancient scripts with a mixture of plots and settings, and she has no ideas and innovations of her own at all. If this book were placed in modern times, readers would surely drown in spittle.

At first glance, everyone seems to be able to look at such a work, but when you think about it, you will be suspicious, so you will shake your head and disdain. In the end, everyone has to return to the Boyue bookstore. After all, the source of that book is still the words of Boyue Bookstore.

"Besides, have you studied the paper it uses? It is paper made from bamboo and straw from late rice. This kind of paper is soft and not crisp, and it is relatively fragile, and it will be easy to break after a few more turns. Those customers bought it cheaply for a while, and after seeing it a few times, they knew that it was not so easy to take advantage of. In the end, they have to go back and praise the quality of the books in our Boyue bookstore. ”

Yao Shuqi scratched his head, and his old face blushed: "I flipped through it at random, and found that it was well-written, the plot could attract people to watch, and the character description seemed to be good." As for the rest, I didn't think about it that much. I know it's straw, but it reduces the cost. Anyway, readers are greedy for cheapness, and I still think about whether I should mention it to you, young master, and let's use this kind of paper to reduce the price of books. ”

"In order to save 100 wen for readers, in the end, they lost 500 or 600 wen to buy books, do you think this is a wise move?" Du Jinning shook his head.

In these years, because of the high cost of paper and ink printing, books are very precious, even if they are words, they can be passed down from generation to generation and become a kind of wealth.

"As long as Peng Jiaxing competes fairly, let him be." Du Jinning stood up and said, "Pay attention to those who write scripts." If you write well, you can sign a contract with them and work with them for a long time to have them write for the bookstore. ”

"Yes, young master."

Before leaving, Du Jinning asked again: "Haven't Zhang Gou'er and Wang Lusheng arrived yet?" ”

Yao Shuqi looked at the sky outside: "It should be soon, it is estimated that Wang Lusheng will arrive in half an hour, and Zhang Gou'er will be a little late, but he will leave early, and it will be almost this hour." ”

Zhang Gouer and Wang Lusheng began to be brought to Fucheng by Yao Shuqi, studied by his side for more than a year and a half, and were sent to the county branch half a year ago to be the second shopkeeper. Because Lu Xiaobei had not seen them for more than half a year, Du Jinning asked Yao Shuqi to send a letter to them early and asked them to come over and get together with Lu Xiaobei for a day or two. Two days later, Du Jinning will return to Lishui County.

Of course, Du Jinning called them over and had other ideas.

Du Jinning and Lu Xiaobei didn't stay here for long, but went back to the courtyard where she lived first.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er arrived one after another. Du Jinning only went out to say hello, and then the three of them talked. It wasn't until dinner time that she and Yao Shuqi had a meal with the three of them.

Everyone is not from a big family, and there is no such thing as "eating without words", Du Jinning put a chopstick dish in the bowl, and asked Wang Lusheng: "When will you get married?" ”

Wang Lusheng blushed and said embarrassedly: "The wedding date is scheduled for August." ”

He worked as a shopkeeper in Ningxing County, and because of his handsome and capable life, he became the shopkeeper of two teahouses and a bookstore at a young age, and was appreciated by a businessman in the tea business next door, who was willing to marry his daughter to him. Wang Lusheng also felt that the girl was good and a good marriage, and after writing a letter to ask for the opinions of Du Jinning and Yao Shuqi, he agreed to this family business.

Yao Shuqi patted Wang Lusheng on the shoulder and praised: "Not bad, good, promising." ”

Yao Shuqi can also be regarded as Wang Lusheng's half master. Wang Lusheng can be appreciated, he is naturally honored.

Before he came, he was instructed by Du Jinning and shouldered a heavy burden, and after praising Wang Lusheng, he set his eyes on Zhang Gouer and Lu Xiaobei: "Wang Lusheng is ready to get married, what about you?" Don't wait for Wang Lusheng's child to be able to make soy sauce, you are still alone. ”

Zhang Gou'er and Lu Xiaobei glanced at each other and laughed embarrassedly.

Yao Shuqi saw that both of them lowered their heads and did not speak, so he simply asked by name: "Lu Xiaobei, you say first, you are half a year older than Wang Lusheng." Zhang Gou'er was the youngest, he said finally. ”

Lu Xiaobei scratched his head: "There's nothing to say, this is all arranged by God, and the marriage will be here." Who would have thought that Wang Lusheng could marry a wife from Ningxing County? Putting it on the back burner, we can't even think about it. ”

After two years of training, Zhang Gou'er is also much more generous than before, and nodded in agreement: "Isn't it?" Brother Xiaobei is right. The two of us haven't married yet. ”

"What hasn't arrived yet? There is a saying that everyone should obey the destiny of heaven. Have you done your best in this area? If you want to marry a wife, with your current status and income, it is not a difficult thing. If you fall in love with a girl, ask the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage. Yao Shuqi said disapprerovingly, "It's not that you want to marry everyone's girlfriends, there's nothing unworthy." ”

"Lu Xiaobei, tell me first, do you have any thoughts about your future wife? For example, appearance, family background, etc. I see the right one, and I'll help you with it. He added.

Lu Xiaobei was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I really don't have any, I don't have any ideas." This has to talk about fate. He raised his glass, "Don't talk about that." Come, my three brothers will give the young master a glass first. If there was no young master, there would be no us today, our brother's kindness to the young master is engraved in our hearts and we never dare to forget. ”

Led by him, Wang Lusheng and Zhang Gou'er also rose in response and toasted one after another.

Although the alcohol content in this era is low, in order to prevent anything bad from happening after drinking, Du Jinning said at the beginning that he would have a rash on his body after drinking alcohol, and he used tea instead of wine every time he came to this occasion.

At this time, she picked up the teacup and touched it with the three of them, talked again, and when she sat down, she glanced at Yao Shuqi.

She didn't tell Yao Shuqi about Du Fangling, she only said that someone had taken a fancy to Lu Xiaobei, asked her to probe Lu Xiaobei's tone, and asked Yao Shuqi to help ask. Now it seems that Lu Xiaobei has someone in his heart.

She was afraid that there would be such a thing, so she specially asked Yao Shuqi to explore Lu Xiaobei's bottom. If she and Du Fangling took the liberty of mentioning family affairs, and Lu Xiaobei was a person who valued love and righteousness, she might have suppressed her mind for the sake of her kindness and agreed to the marriage with Du Fangling. This is not what Du Jinning wants to see.
