Chapter 234: A Chinese Ghost Story
Previously, the maid Xiaozhu followed her instructions and came to inquire about the name of Jiang Yun's new book, but she didn't want to get the news from Tong Lingyu's mouth that this book couldn't be published, after getting this news, she was so happy, she remembered the rampant smugness of the madman at the beginning, and said that the book came out and asked her not to read it, at that time, the more I thought about it at the moment, the more I felt relieved, now it's okay, the book can't come out, so how can you be rampant.
In order to confirm this matter, she has now come to verify it herself.
"It's that madman who gets carried away, I don't know how many catties and taels he has, and the asking price is too high. She asked again with a leisurely gloating.
Tong Lingyu said: "It's not for this reason, it's just because this story of the Condor Heroes is not good and does not meet the requirements of the study." ”
When Miss Liu heard it, she was even more happy, it turned out that the book itself was not good, and this reason made her even more refreshed and relieved, which proved her foresight, how could this fanatic have any real talent to learn, and what good things to write, just say that the book of the West Chamber, most of which was plagiarized.
"So that's the case-" she deliberately dragged out her tone, and gloated, "It can't be that the shopkeeper Tong's vision is too high, haven't I heard that his book of the West Chamber is something that many people love to read." ”
Tong Lingyu shook his head and said: "Compared with the Legend of the West Chamber, this Biography of the Condor Heroes is too bad, it is like it was written by two people, it is too unbearable, I think it is Jiang Gongzi who blindly seeks innovation and change, but it is self-defeating and inferior." ”
She knew what the other party liked to listen to at the moment, so she greeted the other party, and sure enough, after Miss Liu heard this, she was even more happy and laughed, that madman also has today, it is really self-inflicted.
"Shopkeeper Tong, what you said is so interesting, why is it so unbearable, I am very curious. She said half-seriously, half-jokingly.
Tong Lingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Jiang Gongzi's manuscript is still here, if Miss Liu is interested, you can take it and take a look." Although this is not quite in line with the rules of the study, she feels that this is already a waste manuscript, and it doesn't hurt to show it to the other party.
If it was before, she had sworn that Miss Liu, who would not read Jiang Yun's book, would definitely not break her promise in public and read Jiang Yun's manuscript, but now it is different, now she is undoubtedly the winner, since she is the winner, she doesn't have to worry about this, and others will not gossip.
She said indispensably: "Originally, I didn't have the slightest interest in reading this maniac's book, but listening to the shopkeeper Tong's words, I want to take a look at it and see how unbearable this book is, so that the shopkeeper Tong, who has always been good at talking, will abandon it, anyway, it's good to relieve the boredom." ”
Tong Lingyu smiled and didn't say much, so he instructed Xiaoyu next to him to fetch the manuscript left by Jiang Yun, Xiaoyu agreed, turned around and was about to go to the back to pick up the book, when he heard a person say in a loud voice: "Wait! I remember, who seems to have said that he won't read my book." ”
When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads to look, and saw a person walking towards the counter, who was Jiang Yun, who was the main owner of this matter.
At this moment, there were already a lot of people gathered in front of the counter, and in front of everyone, Jiang Yun came to the front of Miss Liu, and said with a little sarcasm: "This Miss Liu, if I remember correctly, you said that you can't read someone Jiang's book, so you are going to break your promise." ”
Seeing that the other party was still so "arrogant" and spoke disrespectfully, Miss Liu couldn't help but be angry, but then laughed again, the other party is now a complete loser, and she is more than him.
"Someone, it's such a shameless and skinless person, a book that can't be published, and it is also used as a treasure, who is rare, I really don't know what shame is!" she said coldly.
"It doesn't matter if you can get out or not, I just won't show you anyway. Jiang Yun deliberately angered the other party.
Miss Liu was really angry, her pretty face turned blue, Jiang Yun still refused to let go of the other party, and said to the other party: "Miss Liu, believe it or not, this book of the Condor Heroes will be published soon, and you have to remember what you said, don't look at it, but I think I'm afraid that Miss Liu will break her word again." ”
"You, you-" Miss Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak, and then looked at Tong Lingyu angrily and asked: "Shopkeeper Tong, what the hell is going on, didn't you just say that this book of heroes will not come out!"
Tong Lingyu hurriedly explained: "Miss Liu, don't get me wrong, this book of the Legend of the Condor Heroes will indeed not be published in Benzhai." ”
glanced at Jiang Yun on the other side, and then said: "Presumably Gongzi Jiang has found another study and promised to publish this book, no matter what, the concubine congratulates Gongzi Jiang." ”
Jiang Yun shook his head again and again at this time, and said: "No, no, the shopkeeper Tong is wrong, I didn't look for another study, and the next book of the Condor Heroes is still going to be published in Fat Yan Zhai." ”
Tong Lingyu heard this, but she couldn't cry or laugh, shook her head and said: "Jiang Gongzi, don't make any more trouble, I said, this book of the Legend of the Condor Heroes will not be published in Benzhai." ”
Jiang Yun said slowly: "Why should Shopkeeper Tong talk to death, I believe that Shopkeeper Tong will definitely change his mind." ”
"What the hell do you want to do, what do you want to do, what do you want to do!"
Hearing this, Miss Liu was completely furious, she finally understood, it turned out that Yan Zhai really didn't want to publish this book of Condor Heroes, and this shameless fanatic, still refusing to give up, and still entangled here, even made threats? This is simply too rampant, too scoundrel, too annoying, simply tolerable.
"I warn you, don't make trouble here for no reason, and you can't get along with the shopkeeper, otherwise you will be arrested in the yamen, and you will be served with a big board!" she immediately pointed at a certain scoundrel and scolded and warned violently.
It's a pity that her threat was completely in vain, someone didn't care at all, so she said neatly: "Miss Liu's words are serious, I, Jiang Yun, am a law-abiding and good citizen, a dignified new boy, a Shilin character, how could I make trouble for no reason and can't get along with the store." ”
Miss Liu's apricot eyes widened and scolded: "You are still quibbling, haven't you heard, the shopkeeper Tong has already said, your book of what kind of Condor Heroes is really unbearable, you can't get out, you are interested in leaving quickly, and you are still here to make trouble, blindly entangled what to do!"
"Of course I want to convince the shopkeeper Tong, I just want to convince the shopkeeper Tong, the gentleman doesn't do anything, is this also an unprovoked incident and a violation of the royal law?" Jiang Yun said slowly.
"You, you—" Encountering this kind of scoundrel, Miss Liu was also speechless with anger.
Jiang Yun didn't pay any attention to her, and at this time, in front of everyone, he took out a manuscript from his arms.
"Shopkeeper Tong, please take a look at this manuscript again. Taking out the manuscript, Jiang Yun handed it over to Tong Lingyu, and then the old god was waiting.
Tong Lingyu took the manuscript, but she smiled bitterly in her heart, is the other party still unwilling to give up, but this legend of the Condor Heroes has long been sentenced to death in her heart, and the other party is just in vain in doing so.
As if guessing what she was thinking, Jiang Yun said slowly: "Shopkeeper Tong, this is not a manuscript of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, but another new work. ”
Tong Lingyu listened, her heart couldn't help but move, she originally thought that the other party brought it, and it was the follow-up manuscript of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, she was really not optimistic about this Legend of the Condor Heroes, and she had no interest in continuing to read it, but she didn't think that it was not the follow-up manuscript of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, but a new work?
Curious in her heart, she held the manuscript in her hand, slowly opened it, and the first line of big characters came into view, "A Chinese Ghost Story with Strange Tales from Zhai".
This should be the name of this book.,Sure enough, it's a new work.,And from the title of the book,It should be a serious novel of talented and beautiful women.,Not like the book that opened up a new genre of the Legend of the Condor Heroes.,New is new.,But it's completely unclear.,Walked into a dead end.。
"It turned out that I sent a new work with a blank eye.,It's useless.,There's no talent to learn.,Bad writing is not good.,The same can't be published.。 Miss Liu looked disdainful at this time, and sneered on the side.
Jiang Yun didn't bother to pay attention to it, this A Chinese Ghost Story was written by him earlier, and he originally planned to copy this Liaozhai Strange Stories series, but later on a whim, he planned to write a new genre of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, this Liaozhai series stopped, and now he took it out, I believe that this A Chinese Ghost Story should always be in the right way.
"Shopkeeper Tong, according to me, you don't have to pay much attention to it, if you don't have to pollute your ears and eyes, just refuse. Miss Liu was still there sneering and instigating.
Tong Lingyu smiled at her, and under curiosity, she slowly unfolded the manuscript and tried to read the first few paragraphs, and after reading it, she felt a little happy in her heart.
The protagonist of the story is named Nie Xiaoqian, a beautiful female ghost who only lived to the age of eighteen before her death, and was buried next to the desolate ancient temple in the north of Jinhua City, Jiangdong, and was unfortunately persecuted by the monster Yasha. A scholar named Ning Caichen in Jiangdong rushed to take the exam and temporarily lived in the monastery, and Xiaoqian was instructed by the monster to come to murder.
After reading this beginning, I knew that this was a story of ghosts and talents, and now the novel of this routine is popular, very hot, and very popular with readers, among which the representative work is the soul of the Meihe monk, and the new soul transfer record, the limelight has faintly overwhelmed the twelfth floor of the Liuqiao monk who was in the limelight for a while.
Just after reading this beginning, Tong Lingyu is very satisfied, this A Chinese Ghost Story has finally returned to the normal plot story, showing no less than the attraction of the West Chamber, unlike the legend of the Condor Heroes, which is simply deviant and does not know what to do.
"This A Chinese Ghost Story is a story about ghosts and talents written by Jiang Gongzi and the Meihe monks, and now such ghost stories are popular and very popular. She looked up from the manuscript and said to Jiang Yun with a smile.
Jiang Yun was speechless when he heard this, I followed the Meihe monk, where is this, he didn't explain much, just went over.
Miss Liu listened to it at this time, and she was even more contemptuous and disdainful, and sneered: "If you can't create a new genre, you can only follow the trend, pick up people's teeth, and pick up some scraps, which is really vulgar and boring." ”
Jiang Yun squinted at her and said speechlessly: "I want to say, I haven't read the soul of the Meihe monk at all, I don't know if Miss Liu believes it or not." ”
Miss Liu pursed her lips, turned her head away, and muttered in a low voice: "It's strange to believe it!"
Tong Lingyu was really afraid that the two would quarrel again, so he immediately said to Jiang Yun: "Jiang Gongzi, let me put the manuscript first, you will come back tomorrow, how about giving you an answer then?"
Before Jiang Yun could speak, Miss Liu on the side interjected: "I don't have to wait for tomorrow, you can quickly read it and make a decision, in fact, according to me, you don't need to look at it at all, just refuse directly." This kind of fanatic, there is no need to give him this face, let him die early. ”
She thought that Tong Lingyu was not down, it was not good to refuse on the spot, in her opinion, the legend of the Condor Heroes was rejected, this must not be much better, from the mouth of the shopkeeper Tong, I know that this is a work that follows the trend, this is only a euphemism, maybe it is plagiarism, and it is even more shameless.
Tong Lingyu was a little hesitant, and Jiang Yun was impatient to come back tomorrow, so he immediately said: "Then the shopkeeper Tong will watch first, I'll wait here." ”
When Tong Lingyu saw it, he didn't say much, so he immediately asked Jiang Yun to wait first, and he took the manuscript and went to the back study to read it carefully.
The female guy Xiaoyu invited Jiang Yun to sit down on a square table next to him and served a pot of tea, Jiang Yun drank tea while looking at the idle book in his hand. And Miss Liu didn't leave, she sat down at another table next to her, looking at this posture, she wanted to see the other party's jokes.
While waiting, the female guy Xiaoyu gave her the new Meihe monk's soul transfer record, Miss Liu held the book and read it slowly, and the maid Xiaozhu also took a copy and followed alongside.
"Miss, Meihe is really worthy of everyone, this soul transfer book is very good. After looking at it for a while, the maid Xiaozhu looked up and praised.
Miss Liu snorted, raised her head, and glanced at the study in the back a few times, looking a little absent-minded, in fact, she didn't read much of this soul transfer book, just thinking about when Tong Lingyu would come out, and then rejected the maniac's manuscript and read the maniac's joke on the spot.
originally thought that the other party would come out soon and give this answer, but left and right, the tea was changed three times, but Tong Lingyu was not seen to come out for a long time, Miss Liu was a little impatient to wait here, if it weren't for the support of the mind that she must see someone's jokes, she was afraid that she would have left impatiently.
Until the shadow of the sun was slanting westward, and it was gradually dusk, Miss Liu, who had been waiting for the answer, finally saw Tong Lingyu's figure appear again, looking at Tong Lingyu's figure coming, Miss Liu, who had been waiting impatiently, was unconscious, and said that the show was finally going to play, as long as she could see the joke of that madman, she would not lose herself for waiting for a long time.
