"Third Brother Lu!" Xiangyun crept in, and suddenly patted Jia Lu on him, trying to scare him.

What disappointed her was that Jia Lu just looked back and smiled, not at all frightened.

"Sister Yun is here~ I thought you were going to come over for the New Year."

Xiangyun smiled slyly: "Didn't I hear that my brother was beaten, so I can't come to see him?" ”

Jia Lu also smiled: "It's just in time, I'm thinking about when to send you the money for the book you wrote last time~"

"Huh? Is that the female colt? Still...... Really give money, huh? Xiangyun was a little surprised.

"Naturally, it was really given, can this be fake? But it's not much, just five taels of silver. Jia Lu said as he got up, took out a silver ingot from the box and put it in front of Xiangyun.

"This ......" Xiangyun was a little embarrassed and didn't pick it up.

"What, too little?" Jia Lu smiled: "No way, your book is too short." ”

"No, no, I just think...... It's easier to make this money, and I earned five taels of silver after only a few days of writing? ”

Although she is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, Xiangyun is not rich in the pocket money she can use.

The ladies in the Rongguo Mansion have a monthly allowance of two taels of silver every month, and the historian is different.

I don't know if the Shi family is really in decline, or if they deliberately pretend to be poor to show others, the needlework of the Shi family is made by their mothers and sons, and sometimes the needlework done by Shi Xiangyun is taken out to subsidize the family.

Five taels of silver is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for Shi Xiangyun.

Jia Lu said: "What, do you think it's easy?" It's not like anyone can write such a wonderful story in just a few days. What is it called? It's called talent~"

Shi Xiangyun said: "Come on, didn't Third Brother Lu tell me about that book first?"

I'm just transcribing it on paper according to what the third brother said, if you want to talk about talent, the third brother is called talent.

This silver...... Let's two and a half! ”

Jia Lu smiled: "How can I want your labor income?" Here you go, just take it!

Besides, I'm not short of money now, I have monthly money every month, and I still have a little subsidy for studying in the national prison~

If I am short of money and borrow it from Sister Yun, isn't it the same? ”

Xiangyun refused to ask for it, and Jia Lu pretended to be unhappy and said, "If you are so disobedient, I won't tell you a new story next time!"

The sister Yun I know is not such a mother-in-law~"

"That'...... Thank you Brother Lu! Xiangyun then accepted the silver, and asked again: "Third Brother Lu, was that book bought by the bookstore to be printed?" ”

Jia Lu said: "No, the bookstore is troublesome and picky, and it is stingy to give money, so I don't sell it to them!" You've sold this book to the storytellers. ”

"Mr. Storyteller? How much money do they make, can they be so willing to spend money to buy a book? Xiangyun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Jia Lu explained: "One storyteller may not be able to afford it, but can't many storytellers together be able to afford it?"

Everyone gives a little bit out of it.,After buying a new book, you can go out and talk about it.。

Whether it's going to the tea house to eat tea and listen to books, or inviting my husband to his home to tell books for fun, in addition to those classic episodes, there are still many people who are willing to listen to fresh stories, right?

If you have a good story and a new story, there will naturally be more customers in the tea shop, or more people will invite you to tell a story, and of course you will make more money.

So, they can't wait to buy more fresh stories! ”

Xiangyun nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, let's just say that the two female gentlemen invited by the mayor of Rongguo Mansion will ask every time the old lady comes: 'Is there any new story?' Most of the time, they don't, and even if there is a new story, it's the same old way of changing the soup and not the medicine. ”

Jia Lu laughed in his heart, these two must not have joined his union.

Xiangyun rolled his eyes and asked, "Then ...... Are there already people in those teahouses outside talking about the "Female Concubine" we wrote? ”

Jia Lu said: "They have been buying it for almost half a month, so I think they should start talking!" ”

"Is it~" Xiangyun bit his nails and was a little distracted.

Jia Lu smiled and asked, "What, Sister Yun also wants to hear what they say about the story you wrote?" ”

"No, no, I wrote it myself, what else do you listen to?" Xiangyunkou is a non-heart.

Jia Lu spread his hands and said, "Forget it, I originally wanted to take the time to go out and listen, thinking that if Sister Yun wanted to listen, she would also take you." ”

"Ah, Third Brother Lu wants to go out to listen?"

"Yes, we also have to see if they speak wonderfully, and we also have to see how the listeners react, whether they like to listen or not, right?

In this way, I can write a better book and sell it at a better price in the future~"

"Oh......" Xiangyun was obviously moved.

As an author, she naturally wants to know more about whether others like to hear the stories she writes.

But the tea shop and restaurant are not the place she should go.

Jia Lu said, "How about it, do you want to go shopping with me?" ”

"This ...... Not good? If you let the old lady know......"

Jia Lu said: "Isn't this simple? You dress up, change into men's clothes, let's quietly go out of the corner gate, who will recognize you outside? ”

"This ...... Is that good? Xiangyun's eyes lit up.

This reminded her of Zhu Yingtai all of a sudden. Although she is just a woman dressed as a man, she runs out to listen to books and go shopping, which is also fresh and exciting to think about!

Jia Lu continued: "It just so happened that when I first entered the mansion the year before last, the old lady gave me a set of clothes, and I was small before I put it on, and I kept pressing it under the box.

I should be about the same size as you are now. How about it, do you want to try it? ”

"That'...... You are not allowed to tell anyone about it! Obviously, Xiangyun couldn't resist the temptation of such a fun thing.

Jia Lu smiled: "I told others that in the end, it is estimated that I will be the one who will be scolded." Ping'er, Ping'er? ”

Ping'er came in and asked, "What did the third master order?" ”

Jia Lu asked: "What about the clothes that the old lady gave me that I didn't wear, find it and try it for Sister Yun~"

Xiangyun, dressed in men's clothes, walked side by side with Jia Lu in the lively street market in Shenjing, and everything seemed so fresh.

Although she often travels back and forth between Rongguo Mansion and Shifu by car, it is the first time that she has walked all the way like this, and it seems that everything has become new and interesting.

"Hey, third brother, isn't this just a teahouse?" Xiangyun asked, pointing to a room on the side of the road.

Jia Lu said with a smile: "This is a tea shop, not a storyteller." ”

"Huh? Aren't all tea shops the same? ”

"Who said that? Although they are all tea shops, they can be subdivided into big tea shops, clear tea shops, book tea shops, and wild shops.

This tea shop is mainly tea, and the layout is delicate and clean, which is the favorite of literati and scholars, and merchants also like to negotiate business here.

If we want to listen to books, of course, we will go to the book tea shop. Oh, this is the book shop! ”

Saying that, Jia Lu led Xiangyun into a tea shop called Gu Jinshuo.
