Chapter 137: Fellow Scholars in the Bookstore

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "I borrowed the auspicious words of the shopkeeper Tong." ”

"The ship is open, the ship is open!" was saying this, and the boatman on the boat shouted loudly, and then the huge hull of the ship shook, and gradually sailed to the shore and sailed towards the center of the river.

Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile at this time: "Gongzi Jiang, let's not patronize and stand here, you come with me, and I will introduce you to a few friends." ”

Jiang Yun didn't say much, so he was led by the other party and walked into the cabin behind the ship.

Entering the cabin, the light dimmed, and a hanging curtain was opened, only to see that the place inside was still spacious, and there was a square table in the center, on which some melons and fruits were placed, and several men dressed in scribe clothes sat around the table, talking and laughing there.

When these people saw Tong Lingyu coming in, they immediately stopped laughing, and they all got up and greeted, "Shopkeeper Tong!"

His eyes fell on Jiang Yun's body again, and he was guessing the identity of the other party in his heart, and he was already asking, "Shopkeeper Tong, who is this young brother?"

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said, "I'll introduce you to you." She pointed to the people in the hall and introduced them to Jiang Yun one by one.

"This is Yun Zhongzi, Yulou Chun, and the love dream cry is his masterpiece!"

"This is a monk of Meihe, who is the author of the Soul Leaving and the Pearl Boat, and he is very popular. ”

"This is a bouldering mountain man, and his masterpiece is pineapple and red thread, and he is an old-timer. ”

"This is Sima Qingtai, who walks the chivalrous faction, and is also unique, and his masterpieces include red and pink Jiao'e, sword guts and piano hearts......"

"This is the old ...... of Kutani"

The shopkeeper Tong introduced Jiang Yun one by one, and Jiang Yun immediately understood that these people were all famous booksellers, and they wrote novels about talented and beautiful people. Someone's name, work, he has also heard of and seen in Fat Yan Zhai.

These people are all middle-aged or older, and the bouldering mountain man is the oldest, and his sideburns are gray. The old man who is not amazing, if he sees it in the bookstore, no one will know that this old man who is not amazing is the author who wrote such a masterpiece as pineapple and embroidered red thread.

It's not surprising that the wind and snow, the novel of talented and beautiful women, is deviant. Those who do not enter the right path of scholars, are despised and despised by serious scholars, and most of those who engage in this profession are some scholars who are despondent and have no hope of fame in the imperial examination, and most of these people are old and down. It's just a matter of making a living and supporting your family.

Although there are also many sullen young readers who like to read this kind of book. But most of them are sneaky and don't want people to know, otherwise if they spread it, they will have a bad reputation and be despised by Shilin. And the young scholars engaged in this industry are even rarer, almost none. Most young scholars still don't forget the fame of the imperial examination, and they can't read the scriptures of serious saints, so how can they have time to dabble in writing.

So these people never thought at this moment that the young brother brought in by Tong Lingyu was their "fellow practitioner". Of course, strictly speaking, Jiang Yun is not their fellow practitioners, writing this kind of book of talented and beautiful women is just a side job for him, and his main business is naturally the fame of the imperial examination.

"This young man is ......" After Tong Lingyu introduced them, someone couldn't help but ask. They guessed that Tong Lingyu would not bring this person to meet them at this time for no reason, so some people speculated that this person was the young owner of a certain big bookstore and came to discuss business with them?

Thinking of this, everyone's words seemed a little polite, after all, the young owner of the big bookstore was their big customer.

Shopkeeper Tong pointed at Jiang Yun at this moment, smiled, and introduced to everyone: "You may not think of it, this Jiang Gongzi is the author of Jiang Shangyusuo, who is now in the limelight!"

What, this person is the author of the West Chamber, which is now famous, and is very popular in the market?

These people were taken aback when they heard this, and they were all stunned, staring at each other with a strange expression, if it weren't for Tong Lingyu's introduction, they would never have imagined that the river fishing man who is now in the limelight is such a young and weak young man in front of him.

Obviously it's a river fisherman, an old man fishing on the river, how can it be such a young brother, isn't this a pit person, although the pen name can't be true, but it can't be so unreliable, at this moment, everyone can't help but feel ridiculous.

"Shopkeeper Tong, you won't be joking with everyone, is he really the author of the river fishing and the West Chamber?"

Tong Lingyu said: "It's true, this Jiang Gongzi is the author of the West Chamber, Jiangshang Diaosuo." ”

Looking at Tong Lingyu's serious appearance, although everyone felt a little ridiculous, they had to accept such a result.

As a very popular novel, the West Chamber is also famous for these people, read it, after reading it, I naturally think that although this is a novice work, but the words in it are sophisticated and skillful, and it is by no means an ordinary novice can write, maybe it is the impostor work of a famous artist.

Now I know that the young brother in front of me is the author of this West Chamber, which makes them surprised and surprised, and inevitably feels a little ridiculous, such a young brother who has nothing to do, I'm afraid I don't know what it is, how can I write such a story of love and affection, clutch, and lingering compassion among talented and beautiful people?

Just when everyone looked at each other here and felt ridiculous and absurd, a delicate and lovely maid with a double bun walked in from outside, saluted Tong Lingyu Yingying, and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, Madame, please come over." ”

Tong Lingyu immediately greeted and said, "You guys are chatting slowly here, I'll go first." So saying, she went out with the young maid.

"It turns out that you are the fishing on the river, it's really better to meet than to be famous, I've read the West Chamber, but Erer, the plot is old-fashioned and superficial, patchwork, picking up people's teeth and wisdom, but you are young and shallow, and you have not been able to catch it, it is not surprising to be able to write like this, and it is understandable. ”

Soon after Tong Lingyu left, a middle-aged scribe with a thin face in the seat immediately became embarrassed, and his contemptuous and disdainful eyes squinted at Jiang Yun, and he commented as if he was an old god.

From Tong Lingyu's introduction just now, Jiang Yun remembered that this person was Yun Zhongzi, what Yulou Chun had written, and he didn't understand why the other party was-for-tat as soon as they met at this moment, and they were in trouble on the spot, but this is not surprising, since ancient times, literati have been light, and it is natural to be unconvinced.

Others understand a little bit of why this neutron is like this. This cloud neutron's latest new work of resentment has just come out, originally full of ambition, planning to take advantage of the limelight for a while, but I didn't think about it, as soon as the West Chamber came out, the body of this resentment was suppressed, although it was not unattended, but the focus of everyone's attention and discussion was attracted by the West Chamber, and the attention to this was naturally less, so that even the sales were not very ideal, and it was much worse than expected.

How can this not make Yun Zhongzi angry and hateful to this West Chamber, and now that he sees the main owner here, it is not surprising that he will verbally provoke and attack on the spot.

That book of the West Chamber, these people are all famous and have read it, in all fairness, the writing is good, how can Yun Zhongzi say so unbearable, these people secretly scolded this Yun Zhongzi in their hearts for being old and shameless, relying on the old and selling the old, opening their eyes and talking nonsense, but it was just arranged in their hearts, they naturally did not squeak at this time, they wisely kept silent, and looked lively, they had no friendship with Jiang Yun, there was no need to offend this Yun Zhongzi because of the other party.

"That book of the West Chamber, the style is not elegant, that Miss Cui was originally engaged, and her fiancΓ©'s family is also a good match, a good pair of gold and jade, but that Zhang Sheng wants to run out to snatch love and break up other people's marriages, this kind of novel, teaching bad customs, filthy and filthy, is really not enough!"

The other people in the audience listened, and secretly scolded in their hearts that they were old and shameless, and said in their hearts that in your cloud book, there are fewer things like this kind of beating mandarin ducks, and your love dream is not about Miss Qianjin regretting her marriage and eloping with a poor showman?

Those boudoir ladies, village girls like to watch this tune, everyone writes like this, do you still have an old face to say people?

However, these people are still only secretly arranged, and they will not stand up and accuse them in person.

"Young man, I advise you to close the pen as soon as possible, you are still young, since you should be famous for the imperial examination, as a scholar, the sage scriptures are the avenue, and the imperial examination is the right way, if you are obsessed with it, go astray, take the crooked and evil way, and do not rein in the precipice as soon as possible, you will be at the end of the road in the future, and it will be too late to regret it. Yun Zhongzi saw that Jiang Yun was speechless by what he said, and he didn't say a word of rebuttal, and his heart became even more energetic, and he talked endlessly, and persuaded hard.

The rest of the audience couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. They are all some failures of the imperial examination, trapped in the field house for many years, and after repeated failures, they had to extinguish the idea of fame in the imperial examination, write these "improper" books, and talk about supporting their families.

This cloud neutron is simply faceless and skinless, in order to fight this young brother, he will say anything shameless. Everyone has a secret hatred in their hearts, and it can be said that this cloud neutron has committed the anger of the people.

"Young man, good medicine is good for disease, good words are good for the ear, I am all from the bottom of my heart, I see you go astray, I can't bear it, for your own good, I say this, don't be obsessed, can't listen to it. "The cloud neutron continues to chatter. (To be continued.) )
