She squinted and glanced to the side, and saw that someone was still an old god at the moment, calm and relaxed, and felt angry and funny in her heart, and said that you just continue to pretend, obviously she was already nervous in her heart, and she felt bad, and she was still pretending to be like a nobody, who are you fooling.

Tong Lingyu walked out from behind with a smile, and when she came closer, Miss Liu couldn't wait to come forward and asked, "Shopkeeper Tong, have you finished reading the manuscript?" ”

"Ah, Miss Liu, you're still there. I'm really sorry, I was fascinated by it just now, and I made you wait so long. Tong Lingyu said apologetically.

"The book that can make the shopkeeper Tong look at it for a while, it must be good-looking, I don't know what kind of book it is?" Miss Liu asked curiously.

Tong Lingyu listened, looked at each other with a strange expression, and said in her heart What else can you read, isn't it the manuscript of the book A Chinese Ghost Story.

It's no wonder that Miss Liu asked this, she didn't believe it at all, the other party could read Jiang Yun's A Chinese Ghost Story so fascinated.

Jiang Yun also got up and walked over at this time, and asked bluntly: "How is it, this A Chinese Ghost Story can enter the eyes of the shopkeeper Tong?"

Tong Lingyu said with a smile: "This A Chinese Ghost Story is very good, it can be published." ”

Miss Liu, who was waiting to see someone's joke next to her, was stunned when she heard this, and a lot of words that were originally intended to be sarcastic were blocked in her throat for a while, and she was uncomfortable.

"As for the pen, what requirements does Jiang Gongzi have, this book can be sold at a price similar to that of the previous book. Tong Lingyu smiled again.

Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first, before that, I have one condition." ”

"Oh, what conditions does Jiang Gongzi have, please say. Tong Lingyu said with a look of everything being discussed.

Jiang Yun said: "I plan to bundle this A Chinese Ghost Story with the Legend of the Condor Heroes and sell it." ”

Tong Lingyu was stunned when she heard this, and then she understood what the other party meant, and the other party swore that he wanted to convince himself to come out with the legend of the Condor Heroes, and it turned out that there was such a trick waiting for him.

Miss Liu on the side suddenly understood, and after she understood, she was suddenly happy again, saying that she was bundled and sold, and she had to force the study to produce his book of the Condor Heroes?

Tong Lingyu is also in a dilemma at the moment, she really didn't want to come up with the legend of the Condor Heroes, but she didn't think that the other party would put forward such a proposal for bundling sales, and this A Chinese Ghost Story is very optimistic about her, she believes that as long as it comes out, there is no doubt that it will be popular, and it will not be under the West Chamber.

What's more, judging from the title of this book, "A Chinese Ghost Story of Strange Stories", obviously this is a series of stories, and there are many stories in the follow-up, this A Chinese Ghost Story is very good, and the other stories must not be far behind, this is a big deal, if you let it go, wouldn't it be a pity.

"Jiang Gongzi, can't this matter be discussed again, in terms of moistening the pen, the study can be improved a little more. She asked tentatively.

Jiang Yun replied very resolutely, and said: "There is nothing to talk about in this matter, it must be bundled and sold, and the two books will either not be published, or they will be published together." ”

"Hmph-" Tong Lingyu was silent for a while, and Miss Liu on the side was already snorting in a strange voice.

Tong Lingyu is now very entangled in her heart, if she rejects the other party, she will miss this seemingly very good series of chatting about Zhai Zhiyi, it is a pity, if you agree to the other party, there has been no precedent for this bundled sale, and it is really unknown whether the customer will buy it.

Seeing that she was still hesitating here, Miss Liu on the side couldn't help it, she only felt incredible, and said: "Shopkeeper Tong, what do you have to think about here, this kind of unreasonable request, just refuse directly, this kind of fanatic who has no self-knowledge and does not measure his own strength, there is no need to give him any face." ”

Tong Lingyu pondered again, and finally compromised, feeling that it was a pity to miss this series of Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

"It's not impossible if the two books are bundled together, but the study also has conditions, and the pen of this A Chinese Ghost Story won't be too high. She said, anyway, now that the study has the initiative, she is happy to suppress the price.

Jiang Yun said with a good look: "As long as the study agrees to bundle sales, the rest is easy to discuss." ”

Tong Lingyu confessed to Miss Liu next to her, and asked Jiang Yun to go to the next room to discuss the details of the contract.

Looking at the backs of the two walking away, Miss Liu was so angry that she stomped her feet, turned around and went out, and the maid Xiaozhu was busy following behind.

"This Tong Lingyu is so faceless, isn't she deliberately angry with me!" On the way, Miss Liu was still pretty and angry.

The maid Xiaozhu persuaded on the side: "Miss is not worth being angry about, maybe, maybe the book A Chinese Ghost Story is really well written, just like the West Chamber, the shopkeeper Tong is really reluctant to give up." ”

"What did you say?" Miss Liu was even more angry when she heard this, and stopped and stared at each other with round eyes.

The maid Xiaozhu was quick to talk for a while, but she said that she had leaked her mouth, and she was busy covering her mouth, knowing that the other party hated the most and said that the book of the West Chamber was good to her face, so she immediately changed her words and said: "Xiaozhu is saying, maybe, maybe the book of A Chinese Ghost Story is the same as the West Chamber, it is really ordinary and unsightly, the shopkeeper Tong really can't see it, and the heart will come out when he says it, but this condition will be negotiated......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel bitter, obviously she felt that this was unreasonable.

When Miss Liu saw it, she didn't feel funny, and waved her hand and said: "Forget it, she Tong Lingyu doesn't listen to good people, she has to publish that fanatic's book, that is her freedom, and we can't stop it, we just look on the sidelines, how can it end up when we see it, bundled sales? Hmph, to put it lightly, when I see Fat Yan Zhai, I will be discredited, and I will lose all my money." ”

The maid Xiaozhu echoed: "That is, she Tong shopkeeper does not listen to the persuasion of the young lady, and she eats this loss to calculate her own, and then she will understand the benefits of the young lady's golden and jade words!"

The two walked away as they spoke.

In the elegant room on the side of Yan Zhai, after some bargaining, Tong Lingyu and Jiang Yun also negotiated the details of the contract, and the study promised that A Chinese Ghost Story and the Legend of the Condor Heroes would be bundled and sold together, and as a condition, the pen of A Chinese Ghost Story was not high, only three taels of silver, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes had no pen at all.

After the negotiation, the two immediately wrote the contract and signed it.

Coming out of the gate of Fat Yan Zhai, Jiang Yunxin said What is this, a classic work like the Legend of the Condor Heroes has been reduced to the point of being given away for nothing, and he is losing money and making money.

Wait, wait for the Condor Heroes to spread the fire, and then settle the account. With this in mind, he went all the way back to the academy.

When he returned to the academy, he bumped into Zhou Shimin head-on, and saw that he was quite interested, something was wrong, Jiang Yun was strange, so he asked the other party what happened, Zhou Shimin was surprised: "Pingchuan, don't you know, I heard that the student officer who came down from the school has arrived in the county, and this matter has spread in the academy." ”

Jiang Yun stayed in the fat inkstone this afternoon, but he really didn't hear the news, and after hearing it, he didn't care, and said casually: "Just this matter, this has nothing to do with us." ”

"Why doesn't it matter!" Zhou Shimin said with great interest, "The professors and instructors of the academy have already come down and said in person, this time the school officer inspected the school affairs of Linshui County, and one of the trips included the inspection of my Qinghe Academy. ”

Jiang Yun listened, but still didn't pay attention to it, Zhou Shimin continued: "I heard that the academy has already selected the students who will answer the student officer at that time, of course, they are all those who are outstanding in learning, and I just hope that when the time comes, the student will act in an eclectic manner, so that these people will also have the opportunity to show their faces." ”

Zhou Shimin said, and fell into a reverie, obviously thinking of the arrival of the scholar, his outstanding performance, and the appreciation of the scholar, since then he has become famous and soaring.

Jiang Yun didn't disturb the other party's sweet dream, and was about to quietly turn around and leave, when Zhou Shimin came back to his senses, caught up and asked, "Where is Pingchuan going?"

Jiang Yun said: "Where else can I go, if you are hungry, go to the dining hall to eat." ”

Seeing that the other party looked indifferent, Zhou Shimin remembered something again, and felt that it was necessary to remind the other party, so he rushed to the other party's side again, and said in a low voice: "I heard that there is one thing related to Pingchuan you in this school tour, but I don't know if it's true." ”

Jiang Yun listened and asked casually, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhou Shimin said: "I heard that the school officer's trip to the county middle school inspection, there is an itinerary to assess the studies of this year's new children, isn't this related to Pingchuan, Pingchuan, you still have to have a preparation in your heart, so that you can deal with it." ”

What he said was still vague, and those rumors directly said that someone had reported that the county test in Linshui County was unfair and there was favoritism, which referred to Jiang Yun, who was at the bottom of the list, but he didn't say it directly.

Jiang Yun listened, he still didn't care much, he looked like he was fine, but Zhou Shimin on the side was worried, he felt that this time the other party was afraid that it was hanging, the other party's county test, the government test was at the end of the list twice, if it is said that there is no cat greasy, who believes it, I don't know if the other party can get away with it this time, if it is the worst result, the child's fame will be light, I am afraid that he will be banned from entering the scientific field for the rest of his life, and the fame of the imperial examination will be completely hopeless.

It seems that during this time, it is still necessary for him to stay away from the other party and clear up the relationship, so as not to suffer from the pond fish, he muttered to himself in his heart.

At this moment, the large and small officials of Linshui County, headed by the county commander Liu Chaozong, all went out to receive the scholars who came down from the Daoli, first went to the county Confucian Temple to worship, and then went to the county school to go around, and served tea in the hall of the county yazheng hall to talk about greetings, and after a disturbance, they went to Yanlailou, the largest restaurant in the county, which had been prepared for a long time.

At the banquet, Li Yu, the school official, sat on the head, and the county magistrate Liu Chaozong, the county Cheng Xiong Shifang, the chief secretary Dai Qi, and the teacher Wang Xuan and other county officials accompanied each other left and right.

Li Yu, the scholar is not very old, in his thirties, dignified appearance, magnificent, at a glance is a young man's ambition, four years ago, the eighth place in the second class of the high school in the palace examination, was selected as a scholar, and after staying in the outer courtyard of the Hanlin Academy for three years, he was promoted to a higher level, and went down to the state school of Jiangzuo West Road to serve as the right imperial history of the Liupin Tixue.

I heard that this person was born in a family of Guanlongmen valves, with outstanding talents, profound background, and a great future.

Such a noble figure with a bright future, Liu Chaozong and other county officials, big and small, naturally attach great importance to it and have a humble attitude, not to mention that the other party's inspection of the county middle school affairs this time is not good, but it is related to their vital interests.

"Master Li, your name is old and you have heard of it for a long time, and a 'Theory of Punishment and Reward for Loyalty' has once been famous and famous, and the old man is also admired after reading it, and the old man is toasting you with this thin wine!" Liu Chaozong picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

If Liu Chaozong's words are said to be sycophants, then they will be patted on the other party's heart, although Li Yu is only a scholar in the outer courtyard of the Hanlin Academy, he can only be said to be a trainee bachelor, not a serious Hanlin bachelor, but Liu Chaozong's title of "Bachelor Li" still shouted him to the heart, and the article "The Theory of Punishment and Reward for Loyalty" mentioned by Liu Chaozong is also a work that he has become famous in his life.

Seeing that the original calm expression of the scholar finally showed a few slight smiles, Xiong Shifang and others in Zazhong County saw it, and secretly said in their hearts, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, this sentence has said everything that should be said, they can't find good words if they want to say it, and they also shouted "Bachelor Li" in a funny way.

Although Li Yu was very helpful in his heart, he had to wave his hand again and again, stopped the other party from calling him like this, and said: "You must not call it like this, it is ashamed to say that Li Yu is still only a mere Jishi, and he has not yet entered the wall of the Hanlin Gate, and he is ashamed of the name of the bachelor, if he is heard, it will be a joke." ”

Liu Chaozong said: "I am too humble to learn, I am young and promising, I am outstanding in learning, and my reputation is beautiful. ”

Others also raised their glasses and drank them all. Li Yu also picked up the wine glass, drank this glass, and when he put down the wine glass, a gleam inadvertently flashed in his eyes.

Liu Chaozong and others greeted him, of course he felt it, but unfortunately, he came prepared this time, and the one who came was not good, although the other party was enthusiastic to welcome him, but he couldn't only offend.

He stayed in the outer courtyard of the Hanlin Academy for four years, and then he was sent to this Jiangzuo West Road to serve as the imperial history of the school for almost two years, the talent is not bad, the qualifications are enough, and the background is not lacking, and the adults in the family are also actively operating recently, and his whereabouts after returning to the dynasty this time.

According to his original intention, he still likes to join the Hanlin Academy, but all the scholars who have a motivated heart, which one does not want to take the noble road of the Hanlin Academy, try to see those feudal officials in the court, cabinet ministers, and scholars of the halls and palaces, almost all of them have mixed experience in the Hanlin Academy, if they have not mixed in the Hanlin Academy, even if the official residence is a grade, they will be inferior.
