Chapter 66: The Charm of the West Chamber
Jiang Yun ignored the many accusations and criticisms, and the shopkeeper Tong also picked up the manuscript handed over by Jiang Yun at this moment, and couldn't wait to open the first volume and look down at it.
"This little brother, what is the name of the book you wrote? Then Aunt Gu asked again at this time, she was also one of the few women who did not despise Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun said truthfully: "The name of the book is 'The Legend of the West Chamber'!"
Aunt Gu said: "Okay, the West Chamber, I remembered, if I wait for the book to come out, I will definitely buy one." ”
Jiang Yun didn't expect to have a scheduled customer so soon, and immediately smiled and said, "This aunt, I promise, after you buy and see it, it will be worth the money, and you won't be disappointed." ”
Aunt Gu nodded and said yes, but she was skeptical in her heart.
"What's the matter, with so many people around, could it be that the twelfth floor of Liuqiao has a new phase?"
At this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice came, and I saw a beautiful young woman dressed in a plain yellow dress and with light eyebrows walking into the study, and beside her, she was followed by a delicate and lovely maid.
"Miss Liu!"
"Miss Liu is here!"
Seeing the beautiful woman who came in, many people in the crowd stepped forward and greeted her, and some people told her the "interesting story" just now.
After Miss Liu understood, she walked up to Jiang Yun, her eyes swept over the other party, and then she moved away, with a hint of contempt and disdain in her eyes, and said to herself: "What is the West Chamber, even if it comes out, I will never buy it to take a look." ”
"What Miss Liu said is that you don't need to look at this West Chamber to know, it is vulgar and not worth watching. ”
"yes, I won't buy it. ”
"Young people just don't do their own work, what good books can be written at such a young age......"
Many people followed suit, perhaps to please this Miss Liu, or to sincerely despise and disdain.
"Miss Liu is here!"
Seeing the arrival of Miss Liu, the shopkeeper Tong put down the manuscript in his hand and said hello. She just read a paragraph with the manuscript of the West Chamber, and she was a little satisfied, but now she wanted to greet the guests, so she didn't continue to read it, accepted the manuscript, and said to Jiang Yun: "This son, please go back first, wait for two or three days, after I finish reading the manuscript, I will give you an answer." ”
When Jiang Yun heard this, he said, "Okay, then I'll come back in three days." ”
"Shopkeeper Tong, according to me, you don't have to waste this time at all, just return the manuscript. That Miss Liu said with a cold face.
Shopkeeper Tong smiled, she naturally wouldn't offend this big customer, and said with a smile: "It's okay to look at the boredom, it's okay to be idle anyway." ”
Jiang Yun was a little speechless, the Miss Liu in front of him with a look of contempt and disdain, looking at the square appearance and demeanor, should be from a famous boudoir daughter, he didn't want to have a boring battle of words with the other party, but the other party repeatedly made provocative words for no reason, even the Buddha will also have fire.
"I haven't offended you, girl. He said in a deep voice.
That Miss Liu raised her eyebrows, did not speak, and still had disdain on her face.
Jiang Yun said: "I hope Miss Liu remembers today's words and doesn't look at my West Chamber, but I'm afraid that Miss Liu will break her word." After saying this, he didn't say anything more, turned around and walked straight out of the gate.
"Ignorant fanatic!" Miss Liu scolded in a low voice.
"Miss Liu, it's not worth being angry with this kind of ......" Everyone came forward to persuade, and then talked about some new books that came out recently, and quickly forgot about this little episode, in their opinion, this is just a fanatic who can't do anything about himself, as for what the West Chamber, they didn't pay attention to it, not to mention that they don't know how to read it, this kind of book has no possibility of being printed.
As for the shopkeeper Tong, I only read the first paragraph at the beginning of the manuscript just now, just to introduce some story backgrounds, saying that Cui Xiangguo died in the previous dynasty, and Mrs. Zheng took her little daughter Cui Yingying to send her husband's coffin back to his hometown in Hexi for burial. This Cui Yingying is nineteen years old, knitting female red, poetry and books, omnipotent. When her father was alive, he had already married her to Zheng Heng, the eldest son of Zheng Shangshu, Zheng's nephew.
Seeing this, it was the beginning of a typical talented and beautiful woman, she thought it was a little interesting, but she didn't look at it later, and she didn't know what it was, but even if it was really good, she wouldn't open her mouth at the moment, refute the meaning of these customers, and help Jiang Yun speak.
Now the store is busy, she is busy greeting customers, there is no time to continue to read, Miss Liu is very big, it is the daughter of Linshui County, and she has always been a big customer of the study, she naturally wants to be warmly entertained.
After Miss Liu chose some books and left, and the study was a little more relaxed, she explained to Xiaoyu, the female partner in the store, and then took Jiang Yun's manuscript and walked to the back to read it carefully.
After this time, I haven't seen her come out, and when the sunset comes, the study is closed, and there is no trace, which is rare in ordinary times, the female guy Xiaoyu is strange, and when she came to the back study to look, she saw that her shopkeeper was still holding the manuscript, leaning on the window and looking at it carefully, and she was fascinated, and she didn't even know that she came in.
When she stepped forward to greet her, the shopkeeper Tong, who had been holding a book and reading, was shocked, and when she looked out the window, she didn't realize that it was already dusk.
"Yes, it's really a good book, I can't put it down, I can't stop it!" shopkeeper Tong stroked the manuscript in front of him and praised himself.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the female guy Xiaoyu, her shopkeeper has read countless books, but she rarely heard her praise a book like this.
"Sister Ling, is this book of the West Chamber really good?" she asked softly, but she didn't think so, she was actually the same as Miss Liu, she despised Jiang Yun, and didn't think that this young brother could write any good books.
The shopkeeper Tong said: "Only what I see now, this book of the West Chamber is better than the 'twelfth floor' of the Liuqiao monk who is now in the limelight!"
After listening to the female guy Xiaoyu, she was even more surprised and couldn't close her mouth, now the twelfth floor of Liuqiao is all the rage, I don't know how many people love to watch it, whenever a new issue comes out, countless people scramble, and the new book is sold out. And this book of the West Chamber, in the mouth of his own shopkeeper, actually said that it is better than the 'twelfth floor'? This is simply too surprising. ”
The curiosity in her heart was even worse, and she was very unconvinced, she was also a Liuqiao monk, and a loyal fan of the twelfth floor, if it weren't for the other party being her own shopkeeper, hearing that someone belittled the twelfth floor of Liuqiao monk, she couldn't help but jump up and refute.
She said disapprovingly: "Is it really so good, then Sister Ling will tell me, what kind of story does this West Chamber tell that can go beyond the twelfth floor?"
Shopkeeper Tong Lingyu said with a smile: "What the hell is talking about, you will know if you have seen it yourself later." ”
The female guy Xiaoyu couldn't bear it anymore, and begged: "Sister Ling, you can tell me about it first." Let me have a rough idea. ”
The shopkeeper Tong Lingyu told her about it: "The book tells that Cui Xiangguo died in the previous dynasty, and Mrs. Zheng took her little daughter Cui Yingying to send her husband's coffin back to Hexi for burial. This Cui Yingying is nineteen years old, knitting female red, poetry and books, omnipotent. When her father was alive, he had already married her to Zheng Heng, the eldest son of Zheng Shangshu, Zheng's nephew.
Scholar Zhang Junrui happened to meet a young lady and a matchmaker who went to play outside the hall. Zhang Shengben is a native of Xiluo, the son of the Ministry of Rites, his parents died, and his family was poor. He went to the capital alone to catch the exam, passing by here, listening to the little second brother in the champion shop said that there is a universal salvation temple here, it is the incense courtyard of the queen mother, the scenery is very beautiful, three religions and nine streams, and all passers-by admire.
Zhang Sheng, who was originally admiring the beautiful scenery of the Pufu Temple, accidentally saw the handsome Cui Yingying, and exclaimed, "I haven't known the face of the king for ten years, and I believe that Chanjuan solves the wrong person." In order to see each other more, he stayed with the abbot of the temple, and he lived in the west wing.
One day, Mrs. Cui made a dojo for her deceased husband, this old lady Cui was very strict in governing the family, and no man entered or left the dojo, so Zhang Sheng slipped in.
When the fasting and offering ashram was completed, the lady and the young lady entered the incense to repay their father for his nurturing kindness.
Zhang Sheng knew from the monk that Miss Yingying went to the garden every night to burn incense. In the dead of night, the moon was clear and the wind was clear, and the monks were asleep, Zhang Sheng came to the back garden and peeked at the young lady burning incense. Then he chanted a poem: 'The moonlight dissolves into the night, the flowers are gloomy and lonely in the spring;
The warbler also immediately made a song: Lan Boudoir has been lonely for a long time, and has nothing to do to spend the spring;
Zhang Sheng studied hard night and night, and moved Miss Cui Yingying, who fell in love with Zhang Sheng.
Shopkeeper Tong told this point, so he stopped talking about it and stopped talking.
The female guy Xiaoyu was listening attentively, and when she saw that the other party stopped talking, she couldn't help asking, "What about the back, what's going on in the back?"
Shopkeeper Tong shook the manuscript in his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't read the back yet, you came in!"
The female guy Xiaoyu's eyes flashed brightly, and she said to herself: "This book of the West Chamber sounds really good." ”
Although just listening to the story told by the female shopkeeper, she was already deeply attracted to her.
"Okay, you go and do things first, and I'll show you when I'm done. The shopkeeper Tong gave an order to the female guy Xiaoyu, ignored her, and continued to look down at the draft.
"Sister Ling, it's time for dinner. The female guy Xiaoyu reminded the other party.
"Well, I'm not going to eat yet, you can help me prepare some late-night pastries, and then I'll eat whatever I want when I'm hungry." The shopkeeper Tong was still staring at the manuscript, and he didn't raise his head to command.
"Sister Ling, this is a waste of sleep and forgetting to eat. The female guy Xiaoyu shook her head with a smile, didn't say anything more, and turned around and went out with a promise.
